Three full days later, Jiang Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief:
The endless wrangling and negotiations are finally over!
This kind of thing is really tiring; it should be Marquis Lawrence does it. I'm really not good at this.
Fortunately, both Jiang Jie and Lordaeron currently hold the undisputed top international standing in the Eastern Kingdoms, and Lordaeron's overall strength is second only to the Night Elf and Orcs.
No one was willing to risk offending Jiang Jie and Lordaeron by demanding the most supplies and troops from Lordaeron.
More importantly, Lordaeron and Aerie Peak were responsible for attacking Twilight Highlands, which meant they made a huge contribution to this epic war that had already begun, and they had no obligation to give more.
Ultimately, the Night Elf and High Elf took on the task of collecting most of the magical resources, while other nations took on the task of collecting ordinary resources, and Gnomes and Goblin provided high-tech resources, such as flying machines and desert tanks.
As for troop deployment, the Night Elf and Orcs, who naturally possess the strongest overall strength and face the greatest threat from the Qiraji, naturally deployed the most troops.
It's worth mentioning that, whatever the reason, the Zandalar Tribe was willing to send a force second only to the Night Elf and Orcs. Considering their individual strength, which is no less than that of the Night Elf, and their richer experience in dealing with the Night Elf, the Zandalar Tribe's help was truly invaluable.
This move won the favor of the Alliance and the Horde, as well as the Night Elf.
Standing on the deck, with the sea breeze gently caressing his face, Jiang Jie felt the breath of the ocean and a sense of returning to the sea like a dragon.
Both the dragon and the Black Tortoise possess the ability to manipulate water, making them divine beasts of the water.
The ocean is Jiang Jie's true home turf.
Once in the ocean, his strength will inevitably be greater than on land.
On land, there are many beings stronger than him, such as the Wild Gods and the Titan Keepers.
But in the ocean, there are very few creatures capable of dealing with him.
Jiang Jie had some recollection of where the Blue Shard was; it had been swallowed by a minnow that had been modified by the blue dragon Azuregos.
The main problem is that the old blue dragon, who has lived for who knows how many years, actually fell in love with the Spirit Healer and had no interest in keeping the Blue Shard safe. That's why the task of keeping the artifact safe was given to a fish.
Of course, to prevent the fish from being easily killed and the Blue Shard from being lost, Azuregos infused it with some of his own power, making the fish larger than ever before, as large as a Kul Tiras warship.
Finding such a fish in the vast ocean would be extremely difficult for anyone, and Azuregos, who was devoted to the Spirit Healer, would not listen to anyone and would never leave the Spirit Healer's side, so it was impossible for him to help.
The normal procedure is to first find Azuregos, then Azuregos will give us a letter, instructing our hero to find the Gnomes technician Narain in Steamwheedle Port.
The letter was written in dragon language, which Narain couldn't understand, so they had to find him his Goggles of Scrying, a 500-pound chick, and the second volume of " Draconic for Dummies ".
Then it was just running around the world doing quests.
First, go to Silverpine Forest. In a chest near Greymane Wall, you'll find Gnomes hiding there, who is also a friend of Narain's. You'll then learn that the Goggles of Scrying were lost in Molten Core.
Go to Molten Core and kill the Legendary fire elemental " Lucifron " to obtain the Goggles of Scrying.
As for that "500-pound chick," it wasn't a chick, hen, rooster, or turkey, but rather the Chimera King of Isle of Dread in Feralas, a near- Legendary being. It's unknown whether it was killed off by the Feathermoon Sentinels during their attack on Isle of Dread.
Then comes the more tedious third task: finding the second volume of " Draconic for Dummies ".
Basically, after traveling across most of Azeroth,
Only then could it be done. Then Narain understood Azuregos's letter and knew that he needed to make an Arcanite Buoy to fish out the Minotaur.
But the materials needed to make this Arcanite Buoy are enough to forge the Arcanite Greatsword for the White Gorilla!
Finally, after much difficulty, they obtained Arcanite Buoy and attracted the fish, only to discover that it was a Megalodon shark over thirty meters long!
Moreover, it's a megalodon with magical powers, practically Legendary creature, making it very difficult to deal with.
You must kill it to obtain the Blue Shard.
This is an extremely agonizing task. It takes a long time even in the game, and if you're busy in the real world, even if everything goes smoothly and a mage opens a portal, it would take at least a month to complete it.
But Jiang Jie doesn't need these.
He had already sent Murloc to search everywhere and had long since located the Megalodon.
Next, all he needs to do is go to Azshara, casually kill the fish, and he can get the Blue Shard, completing this month-long task in a maximum of one day.
The reason he hasn't left yet is because he's waiting for someone.
A splash of blue comes from afar.
A woman came to Jiang Jie's side.
There's no need to look back, or even to use mental power to perceive it.
Judging from the overwhelming Arcane energy and frost power emanating from the creature, Jiang Jie knew who it was.
"You're about to become Legendary?" Jiang Jie asked with a smile, without turning around or looking back.
An excellent mage must be able to control their energy.
A powerful enough mage, even if he stands right in front of you, you will not be able to sense his power.
But now, even a new recruit who has never been on the battlefield can sense Jaina's power and terror, which means that she has lost control of her energy.
The energy she had accumulated was about to slip out of her control.
She must ascend to Legendary status, and that will happen in the near future.
Legendary mages and Legendary Warrior are two different concepts.
The number of Legendary mages in this world has always been far less than that of Legendary Warrior, and the difficulty of advancing to the next level is also much greater.
Jiang Jie didn't know much about it, but he had heard Anveena mention it.
To advance to Legendary, one must not only master the basic magical knowledge and spells of Legendary level and possess the same level of spellcasting ability, but also undergo changes in the mage's own body, such as constructing special rune arrays and energy vortexes within their body.
Dragons are Legendary creatures by nature because they possess Legendary- level bodies as soon as they reach adulthood.
Every adult blue dragon contains Legendary- level Arcane energy within its body because their bodies are special and can hold more energy.
Humans can't do it.
Therefore, to advance to the Legendary, one must modify their body.
Jaina has already taken this step, but has clearly not succeeded yet.
"I will become Legendary in three months at most."
Jaina said softly, "I will become one of the youngest Legendary mages in human history. Only a handful of people, such as my teachers Aegwynn, Alodi, Medivh, and Khadgar, have advanced to legendary status faster than me. Even my teacher Antonidas only became Legendary at the age of 30."
" Jaina, you've always been amazing. Khadgar had better prospects than you. If you had been taught by Aegwynn and Alodi from the beginning, you might have become Legendary before you were even 25," Jiang Jie said with a smile.
Jaina is 27 years old.
Very young for a Legendary mage.
Antonidas was said to be nearly 80 years old when he died. If he hadn't been killed by Arthas, he might have lived another hundred years, or even longer.
The Guardian of Tirisfal serve for a period of one hundred years, but without this time limit, the total number of Keeper throughout history might be less than a third of what it is today.
Jaina could very well live to be two or three hundred years old.
If she can ascend to Demigod, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she could even live for hundreds or thousands of years, just like Aegwynn.
She is really young.
She didn't begin learning magic until her teens, while Antonidas received the Kirin Tor Sash of Supreme Wisdom at the age of two, making him the youngest recipient in history.
Nevertheless, she still achieved Legendary faster than Antonidas.
Her talent and intelligence truly surpassed that of most Legendary mages.
However...
Jaina felt no joy whatsoever.
But I still can't keep up with you.
Jaina, with her exquisitely beautiful features and captivating gaze, said, " Nicholas, when I was your age, I was a mage apprentice."
"But by then, you were already qualified for the title of 'High-Ranking Mage'."
Jiang Jie shook his head and said, "Besides, I'm not as powerful as you think. My real age... is probably already in my sixties or seventies, right?"
Adding up his past and present lives, he's probably around 50 years old.
Adding in the time spent in the gaming pod, I'm really in my sixties or seventies now.
Jiang Jie knew very well that his talent was actually just so-so.
In terms of martial arts talent alone, he is no better Darion.
His talent in Daoist techniques is about the same as Darion's talent in Buddhist techniques, not much better.
With this level of talent, one could find thousands or even tens of thousands of individuals in the Milky Way in the 35th century.
By analogy, she's no better than Jaina.
Without the game pod, he would be nothing.
He should have been run over by that truly Legendary dog; perhaps he'd be reincarnated, or perhaps his soul would be scattered to the winds.
But Jaina didn't know any of this.
" Nicholas, your current achievements and the heights you've reached are something I may never be able to match in my entire life."
Jaina abruptly changed the subject, saying, "When I was studying in Dalaran, I heard some rumors: Master Antonidas and Master Modera were lovers decades ago. Later, Master Antonidas ascended to Legendary and felt that love was so pale and insignificant in the face of the Legendary realm, so he let go of this relationship. Decades have passed, and Master Modera has never had any other relationship. I asked Master Alodi, and he was the same. I asked Master Aegwynn, and she actually... had no feelings for Master Nielas."
"Um?"..
Jiang Jie didn't know whether the rumors about Antonidas were true or false, nor did he understand why Jaina brought it up.
But he felt that perhaps from the beginning, Aegwynn really didn't have any feelings for Nielas and only wanted to give birth to the best child.
But after Nielas's death, perhaps some feelings arose in her heart.
Otherwise, given that she's been to Karazhan so many times, Karazhan has more than one Nielas Echo, why is she unwilling to go and see it?
"I'm about to become Legendary!"
Jaina looked at Jiang Jie, her voice filled with confusion, doubt, a hint of fear and dread, and also earnest anticipation. "Do you think that after I advance to Legendary, I might be so captivated by the scenery of the Legendary Realm that I forget what... love is?"
Jiang Jie silent.
At this point, he could only pretend to be confused.
It's good to be confused sometimes.
"There's still so much to do, I have to go. Theramore is my responsibility. I feel a greater sense of belonging here than in Kul Tiras, and I like it more than in Lordaeron or Dalaran. I'm willing to give everything to protect this city, and I will never allow those vile insects to threaten it."
Jaina took out a necklace with a teardrop-shaped pendant at the bottom and handed it to Jiang Jie: "This was a gift from Duke Hydraxis. Activating it in eastern Azshara will allow you to contact Duke Hydraxis. Well then, goodbye!"
