The Karazhan Library has a large collection of books, but not all of them are magic books; there are also many other miscellaneous books.
Jiang Jie even saw some books on mathematics and physics, as well as many books on astronomy, geography, history, politics, drama, opera, poetry, and prose.
For example, there was a book called " Azeroth National Geographic." Jiang Jie casually flipped through it and found that it not only described the geography of the Eastern Kingdoms, but also the Kalimdor in the north, the Northrend of Northrend in the south, and the Pandaria at sea. When Jiang Jie saw the signature on the title page, he was slightly taken aback.
" Aegwynn... did she write this?"
This is not a printed book, but a handwritten one, and it looks quite old, obviously having been read many times, with several pages folded up.
Jiang Jie flipped through those pages, and they turned out to be records about the Broken Isles, about an ancient city where the avatar of the Dark Titan was sealed— the Tomb of Sargeras!
Aegwynn even recorded the place where she sealed Sargeras back then!
That's right. This mage tower was originally built by Aegwynn, who lived here for hundreds of years. Most of the books here were actually collected by her.
" Xiao Feng, find me books written by Aegwynn and Medivh themselves, and... books related to them!" Jiang Jie said.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Feng's voice rang out. "A total of 123,456 books, of which 789 are protected by magic, 72 are signed by Aegwynn, 36 by Medivh, and 108 are related to Aegwynn, located at..."
One by one, dots of light appeared, and Jiang Jie hurriedly stepped forward, finding the books one by one and piling them up into a small mountain.
"More than half of these books are magic books?" Jiang Jie frowned slightly.
These books cannot be opened; they are protected by magic. To open them, the magic must be broken.
Jiang Jie looked up and saw that Meryl was also looking for books, but his method was different from Jiang Jie's. He used his spiritual power to sense and find all the books protected by magic. He was only interested in these books.
Med'an is different.
He liked all kinds of books, which reminded Jiang Jie of his elementary and middle school days. Back then, there were hardly any books to read, so he would grab any book or newspaper he saw and read it. He read all of his classmates' extracurricular books. It was common for him to forget to eat and sleep while reading, because borrowed books were not his own and he had to return them as soon as possible!
Med'an is probably in an even worse situation than I am, because he can't even borrow books from anywhere, so now that he sees so many books, he doesn't want to let any of them go.
" Anveena, help me decipher all these books. You can do it, right?" Jiang Jie asked with a smile.
"Of course! Well, some can be broken, but some are probably a bit difficult..." Anveena agreed with a smile, but after really looking at them carefully, she realized that some of the spells in the books were too intricate. With her spellcasting ability, she probably really couldn't break them, and even Archmage might not be able to.
"It's alright, let's crack what we can first, and we'll deal with the rest later."
Jiang Jie smiled, then walked to Meryl's side and whispered, "Master Meryl, how many books do you plan to take? Med'an likes all the books here."
Meryl stopped; she was surrounded by piles of magic books.
He turned to look at Jiang Jie: " Nicholas, what are you trying to say?"
Jiang Jie said, "I was thinking, is it possible to completely eliminate the evil magical energy of this tower and restore it to its former glory? That way, Med'an can live here and study properly. This tower was built by Aegwynn and modified by Medivh; it should rightfully belong to Med'an. Karazhan is their family's private property."
Back in Stormwind City, Jiang Jie promised Marcus and Mathias Shaw that to completely resolve the predicament of Duskwood, they must start from the source and thoroughly purify the mage tower.
Jiang Jie wasn't just making empty promises; he genuinely intended to do it.
He also had designs on this mage tower.
"Purify Karazhan?" Meryl shook his head. "Impossible! Sargeras ' power permeates the entire tower, the entire Deadwind Pass! Even if you gathered ten Legendary mages and spent ten years, you couldn't purify Karazhan! Even if you summoned all the mages of Dalaran, it wouldn't be possible!"
"But what if we bring Aegwynn over?" Jiang Jie said with a smile, "She's the builder of this tower, and she knows everything here best. With her magical skills, purifying this place shouldn't be difficult, right?"
" Aegwynn? Didn't you say she was almost exhausted from resurrecting Medivh? Without enough power, she can't purify Karazhan. Besides, Karazhan isn't the same Karazhan it used to be. Sargeras made many changes to the tower, and Aegwynn might not be able to do it." Meryl shook her head again.
"Man proposes, God disposes," said Master Meryl.
Jiang Jie smiled and said, "I think we can give it a try. With Aegwynn's magical skills, plus Master Meryl, and Anveena, I think it's still possible to purify it."
Meryl thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Maybe... it really is possible. What about after the purification? Let Med'an stay here? Didn't you say you wanted him to integrate into this world? If he stays here, what's the difference between him and staying in the Brightwood?"
"Of course they're different."
Jiang Jie smiled and said, "After the purification, Karazhan can invite more people here and become another magical academic center outside of Dalaran. You can even open a magic academy here and recruit students. This tower is so big, even if it houses 10,000 people, it won't be too crowded, right?"
Ten thousand people? Of course not, because most parts of this mage tower are still very dangerous, with various time-space intersections, and ordinary people cannot get close.
But it can definitely accommodate a thousand people.
With a thousand people, this will no longer be a solitary tower.
Meryl was somewhat tempted.
"And it's not just humans we recruit; other races are also welcome, such as Dwarves, High Elf, Night Elf, Gnomes, and even Orcs, Tauren, and Troll!"
Jiang Jie smiled and said, "This mage tower will become the magical center of all of Azeroth, not just for humans! It might even become greater than Dalaran! Of course, in my eyes, it has always been greater Dalaran!"
"Alright, I think you've convinced me." Meryl paused for a moment, then said, "I have some old friends I can get their help with. Of course, that's assuming you can convince Aegwynn. That irresponsible guy won't be easy to persuade!"
Jiang Jie smiled and shook his head, saying, "Master Meryl, believe me, as long as she knows Med'an exists, Aegwynn will definitely agree. She may have truly been a person without love or family in the past, but don't forget, she resurrected Medivh! Old people are always sentimental; if she knew she had a grandson, I think she would be willing to do anything for him!"
"Maybe... that really is the case?" Meryl thought of herself.
He had lived for nearly three thousand years and considered himself to have become cold and heartless, but now that he was leaving Med'an, he was truly reluctant to part with it.
"Brother, look! There's a book here! An epic!" Anveena shouted, waving a small booklet.
Jiang Jie over and saw a few words written on the cover:
The Song of Aegwynn.
