The Queen Arrives

Therefore, after reading the contents of the letter, everyone showed different expressions.

Some were worried, some had their own thoughts, but some also seemed indifferent. Among them, the most composed was the white-bearded old monk.

This old mage is named Augustus (the Archmage of Dalaran).

Augustus (Archmage of Dalaran): "The Council of Sages? I've never heard of such an organization. It seems the world is about to be thrown into turmoil again. But don't be too nervous. For thousands of years, Dalaran endured countless crises and tribulations: demonic invasions, Orcs wars, Undead rampages, internal upheavals. Dalaran has been destroyed several times, yet it still stands. I believe that no matter how powerful this Council of Sages is, we can still handle this crisis." The white-bearded old man said, unaware that in the eyes of Esmehalda and Xiao Yu, he was setting a huge FLAG for himself and even for the entire Dalaran.

(Since this old man has said so, it seems that the Council of Sages is indeed a very terrifying organization. I should be more careful in the future.) Xiao Yu thought to himself.

"Then I'll take my leave," Esmehalda said, and left the Kirin Tor Council hall side by side with Xiao Yu.

The two walked out of the council hall and stopped in the square outside the palace.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Alright, now I need to go back and read the books I acquired earlier. Let's cooperate again next time." Xiao Yu nodded slightly to Esmehalda in homage, and then Esmehalda sent him back to the Water Elemental Plane.

(Today's experience has been quite complicated,) Esmehalda thought to herself. She needed to go back too; she still had a few pieces of equipment to distribute to her adventurers.

Just as I was about to turn and leave, a voice suddenly came from behind me.

"Please wait a moment!" With that voice, a female mage dressed in silver and purple robes caught up. "There are some things I'd like to discuss with you. Do you have a moment?"

The female mage was in her early twenties, with brilliant blonde hair, delicate features, and an air of nobility about her. Esmehalda recognized her at a glance.

Aside from her, a newcomer, there are only two female members in the Kirin Tor Council; one is absent today, and the other is the woman standing before us.

The newcomer was none other than the renowned hero mage Jaina Proudmoore (Queen of Theramore), a five-star Legendary hero.

Seeing that the person she could only look up to was speaking to her, Esmehalda's fingers trembled with excitement.

Esmehalda (Kirin Tor Councilor): "Of course, esteemed Ms. Proudmoore, what brings you here?"

Jaina smiled gently. "Just call me Jaina. First of all, I want to congratulate you. It's great to see other female members in the council, especially a young lady like you. You have no idea how annoying it is to be around those old men all day."

Her charming chuckle made Esmehalda blush and her heart pound.

Jaina Proudmoore (Queen of Theramore): "Secondly, I do know a little about the Council of Sages, perhaps you'd be interested in talking to me about it."

Esmehalda (Kirin Tor Councilor): "You know about the Council of Sages?"

Jaina shook her head. "I don't know anything about the Council of Sages. In fact, this is the first time I've ever heard of this organization. But I do know who the Sage of Fate is—his name is Medivh." A look of reminiscence crossed Jaina's face. It was back in the old Alliance era, when the Undead Scourge first appeared in Lordaeron. A mysterious mage found me and asked me to lead my troops to Kalimdor. That person didn't reveal his identity at first, and it wasn't until later that I learned he was Medivh, the Last Guardian ...

As Jaina recounted the past, the historical events recorded in the Firmament Chronicle, Esmehalda's eyes shone. At that moment, she suddenly felt as if she were in Legendary story, a feeling she had always been pursuing, and today, she finally had the opportunity to experience it.

Although her past actions, such as capturing the two-headed Ogre Mage and the Battle for Burning Path, could be recorded in the Firmament Chronicle, they would at most be minor side stories within the grand backdrop of the Sky World, and would never appear in the official novels.

(The Sky World releases one or more official novels every year, usually focusing on famous events and heroes from the game. Jaina is a famous character in the Tides of War trilogy released the year after the game's public beta, and is essentially the female protagonist.)

What she was hearing now was the content of the Sky World Trilogy novel, which meant that when the next novel was published, her name would likely be on it. Even if she only appeared as a minor character, she would definitely become a nationally known celebrity. Thinking of this, she felt more and more that her gamble today had paid off.

While Esmehalda was listening to those untold secrets, Xiao Yu had already returned to the Water Elemental Plane.

The first thing he did after returning to the Water Elemental Plane was to open his inventory. He was eager to know what the Amalarui knew about the Chaos Elemental, and whether the Chaos Elemental could be evolved through the Seed of Elements as he thought.

Amalarui's Experiment Log

Volume One: Experimental Records on Elemental Organisms

Foreword

I've always lived a muddled life. Despite holding a high position and being respected, I don't know why, but I always have this feeling that the world is sick. Many things, things that seem unacceptable to me, happen every moment. What's worse, it seems that everyone has become accustomed to them. This world makes me feel that it is distorted and morbid.

But I never knew why I had this feeling, why I was so different from the people around me, until that person found me, and I finally understood.

The world order should be in the hands of a few wise and virtuous individuals, not in the hands of ignorant and barbaric leaders of various races, lest it descend into endless chaos and strife, and continue its decline.

Now I have such an opportunity, an opportunity to join them. Although I only have a superficial understanding of them, I know they can give me everything: profound knowledge, boundless wisdom, immense power, and—the power to rule this world.

This organization can give me everything I want, but to join it, I must first prove myself, prove myself good enough to join this game of dominating the world.

The creation of Chaos Elemental is an idea I've had for a long time, but I've never had enough courage to begin research in this area. But now, it will be the key for me to reach the pinnacle of the world. As long as I can complete this research, even they will have to admit my strength (followed by a large section of smeared text).

(I didn't expect the Amalarui to be so childish.) Xiao Yu thought to himself. But this Council of Sages really does seem pretty high-class. They're openly declaring their intention to rule the world and coming up with such lofty reasons. No wonder the Amalarui want to join them. In comparison, although the Kirin Tor Council is deeply rooted and powerful, it doesn't feel high-class at all. It's just like those NPC organizations in those wish-fulfillment novels that provide experience points and side quests to the protagonist.

(Then let me see what you've come up with), Xiao Yu thought, and flipped through the pages again.
