Seeing the giant, even taller than the Etymidian, in the distance, Jiang Jie sighed softly.
Jotun, a follower and close friend Tyr Tyr, was one of the first Titan-forged, a giant among giants, and held a status equivalent to Lesser Titan Keepers of Ironaya.
In the ancient battle of Galakrond, Tyr had one of his hands bitten off by Galakrond. It was Galakrond who forged the Silver Hand for Tyr, and it was also Galakrond who reforged Tyr's warhammer, making it more exquisite, more majestic, and more powerful, which led to the " Holy Hammer of the Silver Hand " we know today.
Jotun was already one of the best creators of the Titans, and after Archaedas, he might be the best one.
After killing Galakrond, Jotun could have helped Tyr put his severed hand back in, but Tyr wanted to use that severed hand to constantly remind himself of his own, and the Silver Hand that Jotun gave him was no less powerful than his original hand, so the severed hand remained inside Galakrond's stomach.
Jotun did not leave, but stayed to guard Galakrond's body. On one hand, he was worried about other unforeseen events, after all, Galakrond was too terrifying, possessing power comparable to the Titan Keepers. On the other hand, he believed that one day, perhaps Tyr would want to reattach the severed hand.
For the Titan Keepers, time is worthless; thousands or tens of thousands of years can pass in the blink of an eye.
Later, Loken betrayed him, Jotun was controlled by a curse secretly cast by Loken and participated in the hunt for Tyr.
Although he didn't kill Tyr, he gained a portion of Tyr's power during the battle.
After the battle, he returned to the Galakrond's Rest and wandered the Path of the Titans.
In fact, this was Loken's order, because Loken was worried that Archaedas and Ironaya would come back to attack, so he ordered Jotun to guard the Path of the Titans just in case.
Time continued to be delayed. Loken locked himself in the Halls of Lightning and even forgot about Jotun, but Jotun still lingered on the Path of the Titans for tens of thousands of years.
This cursed Lesser Titan Keepers continued its journey without ever stopping.
" Jotun possesses power second only to the Titan Keepers; only Alexstrasza can defeat him. However, because he poses no threat and never attacks red dragons or other life forms, Alexstrasza ignores him. You know, Alexstrasza has too many things to do: the Nexus, Ulduar, Yogg-Saron, Deathwing..."
Krasus frowned as he looked at the giant in the distance. " Nicholas, are you sure you can awaken him? Alexstrasza tried, but it didn't work. Loken's curse is very strong; only by defeating him can he briefly regain consciousness, but he will soon be controlled by the curse again."
"Then defeat him," Jiang Jie said decisively. "And then, we'll figure out another way!"
"We alone are probably not enough; Jotun possesses power comparable to an ordinary Demigod." Krasus asked, " Nicholas, when will your friend arrive?"
"I'll be there soon."
Jiang Jie smiled, then looked at Anveena: "Contact Master Meryl and ask him and His Faol to come over. Contact Master Angela and ask him, along with Lord Uther, Highlord Mograine, and Highlord Tirion Fordring, to come over."
"Okay, brother." Anveena nodded obediently and took out two image crystals.
Ten minutes later, in a beam of teleportation light, Meryl and Faol appeared, and Angela and Uther appeared almost at the same time.
"You are... Teacher Faol!"
Uther stared wide-eyed at Faol, stunned for a long moment before finally kneeling on one knee in a respectful disciple's salute. "Thank you, Holy Light! Master, you're really still alive! I couldn't sleep a wink all night after hearing about you from Calia a year ago!"
"Alive? Uther, I died long ago, but the Holy Light did not abandon me, so I have returned. There are not many boundaries between life and death; as long as the Holy Light remains, I have no fear of death."
Faol sighed, a hint of emotion in his voice, "Get up, Uther. I'm happy and satisfied to see what you've achieved. You've surpassed me, Uther."
"Azeroth needs an Archbishop of the Holy Light, and you are the most suitable candidate." Uther was taken aback, then quickly shook his head, saying, "No, no, you are the Archbishop of the Holy Light! You've returned, and no one can compare to you! Before you, Uther will always be a student!"
"But I am no longer suitable to be the Archbishop of the Holy Light; the people will not accept it... I am more suited to be the Archbishop of the Holy Light of the Forsaken, spreading the Way of the Holy Light to the world of the dead."
Faol said, " Uther, the responsibility cannot be shirked."
Uther quickly refused again. "No, no, you have a better choice! Benedictus of the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind City in the south, he is also your student, and you have praised him more than all of us combined! He is the most suitable candidate!"
"Praise doesn't equate to absolute approval, nor does it mean I think highly of him, Uther. Besides, some praise is simply misplaced. I'm harsher on you than on anyone else because my expectations of you are higher than anyone else's."
Faol gave Jiang Jie a deep look, then said, "I received some heartbreaking news. Benedictus may no longer be the Benedictus we know... Never mind, let's not talk about this. Nicholas, what do you need from us?"
"Not everyone has arrived yet."
Jiang Jie looked at Uther: "Regent, where are the two Highlord? Why aren't they here?"
" Alexandros's Scarlet Crusade is stationed outside Utgarde Keep, with heavy responsibilities, so he can't come. Tirion has already arrived in Crystalsong Forest; he's leading a portion of the Silver Hand to establish Vanguard Encampment in the valley near the Wrathgate, so he can't come either."
Uther stood up, frowned at Jiang Jie, and said, " Nicholas, Master Faol is here, Master Krasus is here, Master Meryl is here, and there are you, Angela and me. What's the matter that requires so many people? Aren't we enough?"
"I don't know if it's enough, but more people are always better."
Jiang Jie pointed to the giant in the distance and said, "Our target is him!"
"Him? The Giant Jotun? I've heard his legends."
Uther turned to Jotun: "You want to deal with him? We have enough of us!"
"If it's just about dealing with him, that's enough, we don't even need that many people. With Krasus, and with Anveena and me, that's enough! After all, Jotun has been away from Ulduar for many years, and his power is no longer what it used to be. But my goal is not just that."
Jiang Jie said calmly, "He is Lesser Titan Keepers, a crucial force in dealing with Arthas and the Scourge, and even more so in dealing with Loken and attacking Ulduar! But he is plagued by Loken's curse. He is a follower of Tyr, and he even possesses Tyr's power within him—the power of the Holy Light. So I think, perhaps by gathering the Holy Light power of many Legendary, we can unleash the Holy Light power within him and destroy the curse!"
"Is this... feasible?" Uther asked, unsure.
"Perhaps it will work, Uther."
Krasus suddenly said, "The Red Dragonflight knows Tyr far better than you do. Alexstrasza fought alongside Tyr; he has witnessed Tyr's power, as well as the power of the other Titan Keepers. Tyr has obtained the power of the Titan Aggramar; he is the most powerful warrior among all the Titan Keepers! His power, combined with yours, should be enough to destroy Loken's curse."
"... Then let Alexandros and Tirion come!" Uther declared decisively. " Arthas and the Scourge are difficult to deal with; we need Jotun! With him, we can save many lives!"
"It's not just them."
Jiang Jie turned to Anveena: " Anveena, go to Stratholme and see Fenna. Bring Ashbringer back! I think we need its power!"
