Hall of the Keeper.
This is Jiang Jie's first time visiting the Hall of the Keeper.
This temple was not created by Aegwynn; it was already there and is part of Suramar.
However, Aegwynn used unimaginably powerful magic to isolate it, turning it into an independent building and endowing it with even greater power.
Later, during the Legion's arrival, the mages of Dalaran moved it to the sky above Dalaran Violet Citadel, creating a separate space.
Everything here carries the scent of Suramar; Arcane Golem and Arcane guards are everywhere, and at the very center of the Hall of the Keeper, on the upper level of the ground, stands a furnace.
Keeper's Forge.
Jiang Jie originally intended to meet Aegwynn in Karazhan, but to his surprise, Aegwynn allowed him to enter the Hall of the Keeper, which was a pleasant surprise.
"Ms. Aegwynn, how are Cho'gall and Fandral Staghelm?"
Upon seeing Aegwynn, Jiang Jie didn't rush to ask about his own affairs, but instead inquired about the end of the battle a month ago.
Aegwynn left in a hurry, saying she was going to Silithus to deal with Gul'dan and Fandral Staghelm and stop them from destroying the Scarab Wall. Jiang Jie never asked about the specifics.
"I went, so Cho'gall and Fandral Staghelm escaped."
Aegwynn said calmly, "I waited at the Scarab Wall for three days, searching the entire Silithus, but I didn't find it, so I came back. Did you inform Malfurion?"
"You've been notified."
Jiang Jie replied with a smile, "I contacted Professor Cenarius immediately. Malfurion, along with two Archdruid and dozens of members of the Cenarion Circle, went to the Scarab Wall Scarab Wall oversee it and prevent its premature destruction."
Aegwynn nodded and said, " The Scarab Wall is a combination of Druid magic and the powers of the four dragon races. Without the Scepter of the Shifting Sands, forcibly breaking it would require the power of High-tier Demigod. However, the Scarab Wall has already weakened. Cho'gall and Fandral Staghelm, one wielding the power of Old Gods and the other proficient in Druid magic, can break it in a few weeks. Malfurion went? Then there's no problem."
"There's no problem. No matter how powerful Fandral Staghelm is, he can't possibly be stronger Malfurion."
Jiang Jie smiled and then said, "However, the Scarab Wall will collapse sooner or later. Malfurion and I have discussed it and decided to contact all countries and races, gather the power of the world, open the Scarab Wall ahead of schedule, attack Ahn'Qiraj, and completely destroy the Qiraji's stronghold once and for all. The Leaders' Summit is in three days. Will you be attending? I think all the leaders would like to hear your opinion."
" The Tomb of Sargeras has bred too many demons, and many of the original barriers have been destroyed. I don't have time."
Aegwynn promptly refused, then asked, " Nicholas, what brings you here?"
"That's how it is..."
Jiang Jie explained his current situation to Aegwynn, then said, "Constructing a stable, easily openable and closeable Gate of the Twisting Nether requires comprehensive knowledge. Xal'atath is untrustworthy; the person in this world with the deepest understanding of the Twisting Nether is undoubtedly you."
The cold snort of Xal'atath echoed in Jiang Jie's mind, but he ignored it.
Sargeras was the one who studied the Twisting Nether most deeply.
Medivh, having been possessed by a wisp of Sargeras's soul for decades, possessed a deeper understanding of the Twisting Nether than anyone else in Azeroth.
Medivh is gone, but he left behind " The Book of Medivh ".
The Council of Tirisfal, having fought against the Burning Legion for over two thousand years, possesses an understanding of the Twisting Nether second only to Medivh.
Now, Aegwynn, as the strongest Keeper, has obtained the " Book of Medivh " and studied it for two years. Naturally, her understanding of the Twisting Nether has reached a very high level.
Besides Xal'atath, the Jiang Jie could think of most capable of constructing Gate of the Twisting Nether was Aegwynn.
" Holy Light? Shadow? Gate of the Twisting Nether?"
Aegwynn's eyes lit up. "That's interesting."
You stay here and let me study for a while! At most three months, and I'll help you construct the Gate of the Twisting Nether! Stay here?
To be a guinea pig?
How do you study it? By placing the slides under a microscope?
Jiang Jie felt a chill run through him instantly, and quickly coughed, politely declining, "Well, Fenna is about to give birth, probably in the next day or two. You know, pregnant women are quite difficult to take care of, and besides, my child is about to be born, so I can't be absent..."
"It's alright, I'll go to Stratholme with you," Aegwynn decided decisively.
"But aren't you supposed to be guarding Tomb of Sargeras...?" Jiang Jie asked.
"It's already a complete mess anyway, and I don't have the ability to reorganize it now. Let it stay chaotic for a few more months, it won't matter!"
Aegwynn waved his hand, constructed a teleportation circle, and then called out to the Keeper's Forge, " Alodi, keep an eye on things for me for a while!"
Nothing's happened for months?
The Battle of Ahn'Qiraj can't possibly last for months, and a meeting would take even less time. Are you sure you don't have time for a meeting that lasts at most a day? Would you rather come with me to Stratholme and stay for a few months?
Jiang Jie looked helpless.
Turning around, I saw Alodi's soul emerging from the Keeper's Forge, also looking helpless.
A few seconds later, Jiang Jie and Aegwynn disappeared.
In a burst of magical light, Jiang Jie and Aegwynn arrived at Stratholme, only to find a scene of anxious busyness.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Jie quickly grabbed someone and asked.
"Ah? It's the Grand Duke!" The man, who had been looking impatient, quickly exclaimed upon seeing Jiang Jie, "Grand Duke, the Lady is about to give birth, and Lady Liadrin is with her!"
Has she given birth?
Is she about to give birth?
Is Fenna about to give birth?
Is my daughter about to give birth?
Jiang Jie was momentarily dazed:
Am I going to be a dad?
Soon?
Did happiness really come so suddenly?
" Fenna!"
Jiang Jie rushed over immediately and reached the door in less than 3 seconds, ready to open it and go inside.
"No, you cannot go in, Grand Duke!"
A High Elf Paladin stood guard at the gate, declaring righteously, "This is Lady Liadrin's order; no one is allowed to enter!"
"My wife and children are inside!" Jiang Jie in anger.
"Lady Liadrin specifically instructed, especially of you, that you are not allowed to enter!" The High Elf Paladin stood in the doorway, upholding the rule. "This is the law of the High Elf: a husband cannot enter the delivery room when his wife is giving birth!"
"Bullshit! This is Stratholme, Lordaeron, human territory, not Quel'Thalas!" Jiang Jie heard the shouts inside; it was Fenna's voice in pain. Clearly, childbirth was difficult, and she needed his company most at this moment.
"Lady Fenna has half- High Elf blood, so of course she must abide by the rules of the High Elf."
The Paladin stood firm, refusing to budge. "Grand Duke, you don't know how to deliver babies, so please don't go in and cause trouble. Lady Liadrin is here; nothing will happen!"
Jiang Jie was helpless.
This Paladin is quite strong; he seems to be Liadrin's adjutant, High-Ranking Paladin. I can't afford to resort to violence in the delivery room; Fenna is giving birth right now, it would be such a bad influence.
He could only wait.
Every second felt like an eternity; every second was pure agony.
He paced back and forth, fortunately his mental strength was strong enough to allow him to perceive everything within his mind.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Jiang Jie heard a cry:
The baby is born!
