Having not seen each other for a long time, Anveena naturally clung to Jiang Jie, calling him "brother" this and "brother" that.
Med'an was bored and too afraid to go out alone, so he simply found a small, dark room to stay in until Aegwynn returned.
Three hours later, around noon, Aegwynn finally arrived at the palace, her slender arms laden with bags and her face beaming with happiness.
On this day, a legend circulated in Stromgarde about a foolish, rich, and beautiful woman:
It is said that there was a very beautiful, noble woman dressed in a mage's robe who would buy anything interesting or delicious she saw, and she was very generous, never using gold or silver coins, but paying with gemstones!
They were all exquisitely crafted precious gemstones. According to Old William from the jewelry store, the cheapest gemstone was worth ten gold coins, and the most expensive was worth hundreds of gold coins, enough to equal the entire fortune of a wealthy family!
Some speculate that she might be a high-ranking member of the Lordaeron Court Mage Corps, or Kirin Tor mage from Dalaran, and that she must be backed by a powerful family. Some even speculate that she might be related to Grand Duke Nicholas.
At first, everyone thought she was buying fun toys and delicious food for her own child.
But people soon discovered that that wasn't the case at all!
Because she kept eating snacks, eating as she walked, it was obvious she bought them for herself.
Some women followed her for a full three hours, watching her eat enough snacks that others couldn't finish in three days, yet her belly didn't bulge at all. This kind of physique that allows her to eat whatever she wants without gaining weight is the envy of countless people!
So a bunch of people followed and tried to sell their own things. The female monk didn't care. She picked and chose, buying what she liked and not buying what she didn't.
Strangely, no one can get close to her unless she wants to, as if there is an invisible wall around her, soft yet impenetrable.
Some people, seeing how wealthy she was, harbored malicious intentions, but the result was only one word:
miserable!
It's a tragedy so terrible it's unbearable to witness!
Some were hung upside down ten meters in mid-air, their screams more horrific than those of pigs being slaughtered, and they haven't been brought down yet.
Some were bound like rice dumplings by magic ropes, the more they struggled, the tighter they became, and they couldn't be cut open even with a knife;
Others had their buttocks burned by sudden flames. Strangely, all their clothes burned off, but their skin was not injured. They had no choice but to run around naked in the street, laughing like madmen!
In short, she is a rich, willful, and terrifying woman!
An even more terrifying thing happened. After the female mage finished buying and disappeared, everyone discovered that the once incredibly precious gems had all turned into stones—stones worth less than a single copper coin, stones that could be picked up in handfuls!
" Med'an, come and eat!"
The strongest Keeper was quite generous and quickly called Med'an over.
Then, besides the large bags and purses she was carrying, she casually waved her hand, and a huge mountain of delicious food and fun toys appeared, leaving Med'an dumbfounded: Just how much did Grandma buy?
Did she rob more than a dozen stores?
"Cough cough!"
Jiang Jie and Anveena came out of the room and saw this scene.
Anveena rushed over to grab the snacks, while Jiang Jie shrugged helplessly, then bent down and extended his hand to invite Aegwynn: "Ms. Aegwynn, please come with me, I have a few things to discuss with you."
Although she didn't think anything was more important than snacking, Aegwynn accepted Jiang Jie's invitation, following Jiang Jie while taking out various snacks from somewhere.
She even has snacks!
How many snacks did she buy?!
Soon, they arrived at a room.
"A month ago, we killed Kel'Thuzad and obtained these two items."
Jiang Jie took out the head of the Chicken Leg Staff and the Book of Medivh, and handed them to Aegwynn: "These all belong to Medivh, and now they're back to their rightful owner."
Medivh is Aegwynn's son. Since Medivh cannot be found, giving these two items to Aegwynn can be considered a return to their rightful owner.
" Atiesh, it's been a long time."
Aegwynn stopped eating the snacks, took the two items, and then, with a flick of his wrist, the handle of the Chicken Leg Staff cane flew from Med'an's hand.
She silently chanted an incantation, and the staff head and handle merged into one in a burst of light, completing the repair. At the same time, a large amount of evil magical energy emerged, transforming into a demon.
It was exactly the same demon that Jiang Jie had killed in the Karazhan Chess Hall, but weaker, and this time no Legendary one-handed sword flew in from the Void.
Thus, the demon was casually killed by Aegwynn, and the legendary staff of Atiesh, the Keeper, was repaired.
"This staff is not the same staff as before." Aegwynn sighed, a rare occurrence for him.
Jiang Jie was confused: Hadn't it already been repaired?
It looks quite complete?
"This staff contains a portion of the power of the Keeper throughout the ages, Demigod- level power, originally even stronger than Aluneth's. But when Khadgar killed Medivh, all the Keeper power within the staff dissipated into Karazhan, leaving only a portion of demonic power."
Aegwynn casually explained, "Now that it doesn't even have demonic power, it's just an ordinary legendary staff, not as good as Aluneth's."
Is that so?
Jiang Jie was somewhat disappointed.
Yes, this staff has lost all its power.
Nevertheless, it remains a legendary staff.
Jiang Jie had once considered leaving the staff to Anveena, but after obtaining the " Elementium Staff " fragment in Uldaman, Jiang Jie changed his mind.
Anveena is the embodiment of the Blood of Azeroth; Titans artifacts suit her better, and the Elementium Staff suits her even better. Moreover, if it is truly repaired, the Elementium Staff would probably be no worse than the Chicken Leg Staff.
Let's give this staff to Med'an.
Although Meryl had always disagreed, Aegwynn took the staff without a word and handed it to Med'an; Medean couldn't resist Aegwynn's insistence.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, you pathetic, ignorant humans."
Suddenly, a gruff male voice rang out. "How can Atiesh compare to me? Even the Scepter of Sargeras can't compare to me! All the artifacts of Azeroth can't compare to me! Atiesh? This piece of junk? I wouldn't even look at it, keep it as a fire poker!"
What was that sound?
Jiang Jie was curious; how could a sound be coming from Aegwynn?
"Shut up, Aluneth! If you keep yelling, I'll seal you away!" Aegwynn roared.
Aluneth?
Jiang Jie finally understood: So it was Aluneth!
It is a rare Arcane entity, similar to Anveena, but its energy level is likely much higher than Anveena's, yet it is a true master of sarcasm.
I don't know if this guy is genuinely capable or just likes to brag, but he looks down on everything, saying this isn't good enough and that isn't good enough, and that he thinks he's the best in the universe.
Among all the artifacts in Azeroth, Shadow Priest, Demonology Warlock, and Aluneth are all explicitly said to have spirits, and they're all chatterboxes. The best one is undoubtedly the Shadow Priest artifact " Xal'atath, the Blade of the Black Empire," which is not only the claw of one of the five Old Gods... but also a young lady with a soft, gentle voice.
At this moment, Jiang Jie was really impatient and wanted to get his hands on the young lady. However, he was still a little worried about whether his small frame could handle her. After all, she came from a noble family and might be even more terrifying than Ulthalesh. He decided to wait and see.
"Tch! I was sealed away all along... Alright, alright, I won't say anything more, okay? Old widow." Aluneth was clearly still quite afraid of Aegwynn, after all, she had been enslaved for eight hundred years, and she shut up after muttering a few words.
But why would Aegwynn seal away a male Arcane entity? Perhaps she has some other use for it when she's lonely?
