The war is over, the southern Deadwind Pass is lush and green, and Karazhan has been washed away clean.
While Med'an was busy using magic to clean up the remnants of the storm, Anveena found the restored Maiden of Virtue amidst a pile of ruins. She then transformed into her Titan Keepers form and used the power bestowed upon her by the Titans to heal her completely. She returned to Karazhan and then, through a portal, went back to Stromgarde to continue her great work of purifying the Arathi Highlands.
Aegwynn had already returned the mana to all the mages and had no interest in staying here any longer; she was in a hurry to go to the Hall of the Keeper to continue her duties.
The mages, led by Modera and Ansirem, expressed their desire to stay in Karazhan to continue their studies, but were driven away by the enraged Aegwynn, who sent them all home.
Leryda also left, saying she was going to find Alturus because she felt it was too dangerous for him to track down Kazzak alone, since Kazzak was one of the most powerful demon lords, someone even Aegwynn couldn't defeat now.
Krasus also left quickly, rushing back to the Wyrmrest Temple.
According to him, the situation in Northrend is dire. The Old Gods Yogg-Saron has corrupted Loken, the King of Wisdom, and the entire Ulduar is in chaos. All six Titan Keepers are in trouble, and Herald Volazj and Crypt Lord Anub'arak rule the Underground and are difficult to deal with.
In comparison, Arthas and the Scourge are not worth mentioning at all.
" The Red Dragonflight can't defeat the Old Gods. Perhaps it won't be long before the Wyrmrest Temple turns to mortals for help. Nicholas, time is running out for this world," Krasus lamented.
Outside the gates of Karazhan, Cenarius, Malfurion, Tyrande, Eranikus, and Itharius, along with the four young dragons, stood together, bidding farewell to Jiang Jie.
It's time for them to leave too.
" Xavius has been defeated. Next, we'll figure out how to save Ysera, which will require a long period of planning."
Malfurion said, " Xavius has taken over a significant portion of the Emerald Dream, and he's still expanding. We must go back to prepare, find a way to awaken more Druid and green dragons, and contact Druid in other areas. There's still a lot to do."
The four Tree of Life in Feralas, Duskwood, Hinterlands, and Ashenvale need purification. The Druids of the Fang in Wailing Caverns are also having problems. Felwood and Ashenvale are not yet fully purified. Many demons remain in Azshara, and even more demons have fled to Kalimdor.
In addition, he planned to rescue Zaetar of Maraudon in Desolace, who was Cenarius's other son, and also to gather the Druid of Val'sharah. There were too many things to do, and just thinking about them gave him a terrible headache.
"Unfortunately, I can't help." Jiang Jie shrugged and spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless to help. "This is a matter for the Cenarion Circle, and I can't do anything about it. The Eastern Kingdoms is also a huge mess. Sky City is not yet completed, there are still many enemies in the Arathi Highlands, and the plague eradication work in many parts of Lordaeron is not yet finished."
Cenarius shook his head and said, " Nicholas, my student. Without your help, we couldn't have purified Eranikus. This credit belongs to you. Everyone has their own responsibilities, Teldrassil is your responsibility too. Xavius will definitely target Teldrassil; you must be careful."
Jiang Jie took out the " Dragon's Call " and handed it to Eranikus.
As Night Elf, Eranikus was handsome and dashing, bearing a striking resemblance to Itharius, and was quite charming.
Of course, he was already quite old. The Night Elf he had transformed into had a weathered face, and if converted to human lifespan, he looked to be about forty years old, which was much older than Krasus appeared to be.
To attract Ysera and become Ysera primary consort, Eranikus was not only incredibly powerful, but also a true heartthrob in the Green Dragonflight.
He accepted the " Dragon's Call," but instead of taking its power, he looked at Jiang Jie and smiled, saying, " Nicholas,"
"You saved me from the Nightmare, so this is your reward." Eranikus cast a spell, Dragon's Call, turning into a wisp of green light that flew into Jiang Jie's brow, transforming into a small one-handed sword pattern. It absorbed Isillien's energy and hung in the center of the complex pattern on his brow, splitting Cenarius and Blessing of Tortolla in two.
" Dragon's Call is a portion of my power, possessing a part of the Emerald Dream's authority. In my hands, it can directly summon adult green dragons from the Emerald Dream. But with you, it can only be used to summon hatchlings."
Eranikus smiled and said, "You are Cenarius's student. You can use it to enter the Emerald Dream, but don't go in yet. Xavius is already watching you, so be careful. Also, you can use Dragon's Call to contact me. If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me."
Jiang Jie was stunned.
That's how I got the Dragon's Call?
One of the legendary Seven Weapons?
Unexpectedly, this sword had other uses besides summoning a fledgling dragon. Although it was only an epic-level weapon, Jiang Jie believed its value was no less than that of an ordinary legendary-level weapon.
Eranikus's reward is really generous; all the hard work and dedication these past few days have been worth it!
Jiang Jie suddenly realized that the purified Eranikus was just as reliable as Krasus, both being role models for the dragon race!
"Teacher, and Malfurion, there's something I've been hesitating to tell you, and I'm not sure if I should."
Jiang Jie thought for a moment, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "You must be careful of Fandral Staghelm Fandral Staghelm. Medivh told me that Fandral Staghelm has actually sided with Xavius because Fandral Staghelm wants to resurrect his son..."
Malfurion's face turned grim, and everyone else's face turned grim as well.
Fandral Staghelm was his student, his best student.
During his slumber, Fandral Staghelm was the head of the Cenarion Circle, in charge of all affairs.
It can be said that, apart from Cenarius and Keeper Remulos, Fandral Staghelm had actually become the most powerful figure after Malfurion, with extremely high prestige.
Whenever Malfurion falls into a deep sleep, Fandral Staghelm and Tyrande work together to handle the internal affairs of the Night Elf, effectively becoming Malfurion's alter ego, and even organizing the War of the Shifting Sands!
Within the Cenarion Circle, countless individuals are Fandral Staghelm's students, and many hold Fandral Staghelm in the same esteem and reverence as Malfurion. After all, Malfurion has spent most of his time in slumber for millennia, while Fandral Staghelm has been more frequently seen.
If someone like that were to side with Xavius, the harm they would cause would be absolutely Devastation!
As for why Fandral Staghelm rebelled?
In the War of the Shifting Sands a thousand years ago, Fandral Staghelm's only son, Valstann, was killed, completely shattering Fandral Staghelm's will.
In the period that followed, he lived in Devastation blows and incurable pain. In a fit of rage, he even shattered the Scepter of the Shifting Sands, which sealed the Ahn'Qiraj Empire and built the Scarab Wall, causing the staff to split into four pieces, which fell into the hands of four different dragons.
The green fragment is in Eranikus's possession.
It was during this painful struggle that Xavius found him.
Xavius transformed one of his Nightmare minions into the likeness of " Valstann " and told Fandral Staghelm that his son had been resurrected. Because of this, Fandral Staghelm completely allied himself with Xavius.
Fandral Staghelm kept this son well hidden, using the fake Valstann as a bridge between him and the Nightmare Lord.
He himself did not possess the power of the Nightmare, so he remained hidden for a long time, and no one noticed.
In the original timeline, he was the one who single-handedly pushed the Cenarion Circle to pass a resolution that planted Teldrassil, then used Xavius's power to corrupt Teldrassil, causing the Emerald Nightmare to spread rapidly. He even encouraged Malfurion to enter the Emerald Dream to trace the source of the Nightmare and then plot to capture him.
Although history has changed, Fandral Staghelm's betrayal remains unchanged; he will always be the biggest cancer in the Cenarion Circle.
Jiang Jie even suspected:
Ysera was captured by Xavius so quickly, and besides the help of Eranikus and the Four Green Dragons of the Nightmare, Fandral Staghelm's assistance was probably also indispensable!
