In order to recall Medivh's soul from the Twisting Nether, Aegwynn used the last bit of her guardian power that she had used to preserve her beauty and extend her life.
It needs to be emphasized here that Aegwynn is already close to 1,000 years old.
For a short-lived species like humans, whose average lifespan is only about 60 years, her ability to live to this age depends entirely on the protective power passed down from generation to generation by the Council of Tirisfal to extend her life.
After losing his last protective power, Aegwynn's physical condition gradually deteriorated visibly to the naked eye.
Even though she loves beauty and is still using illusions to disguise her appearance, Sarlayan, who has a very keen sense of vitality, can clearly feel the deep twilight energy in her body.
This kind of issue related to the essence of life cannot be disguised by illusion.
However, unlike Anasteria, which has long since exhausted its resources, Aegwynn, who once stepped into that threshold, still retains some of the characteristics of her time as a demigod.
To put it simply, she can still be saved.
But the problem is that Aegwynn doesn't want to continue living.
The series of outrageous operations carried out by Sargeras's split soul had a profound impact on Azeroth.
From the perspective of Aegwynn, who participated in the entire battle and sealing of Sargeras' clone, as well as the subsequent developments, failing to understand Sargeras's conspiracy was the biggest mistake he made when he was so complacent.
It was precisely because of this unforgivable mistake that the son she had high hopes for was parasitically controlled by Sargeras. Her husband sacrificed his life to restore his son's sanity, which even led to the orc invasion that lasted for several years.
To this day, the impact of the orc invasion still exists.
After the tragic Battle of Hyjal, the orcs have become a part of Azeroth recognized by most races, and they are willing to contribute their share to protect Azeroth, their new home.
However, what has happened in the past will not disappear as the orcs' stance changes.
Continuing to think further, the theft of the Dragon Soul and the suffering of the Red Dragon Queen are all related to the invading race of orcs. It is difficult to say that it has nothing to do with Aegwynn, who led all these developments.
The more he learned about Azeroth's past history, the heavier the guilt Aegwynn felt.
Today, she is no longer the high-spirited and rebellious guardian she once was, and the years have left too many traces in Aegwynn's memory.
These experiences made her gradually mature and steady, but at the same time, they also made her feel a huge sense of guilt.
Onyxia gnawed on the apple she grabbed from the coffee table and said vaguely: "Aegwynn's physical problem is easy to solve. It's just a blessing of life."
"But if that girl's psychological problem is not solved, I don't think she will readily accept the kindness of others."
In the view of Onyxia, who is over 10,000 years old, Aegwynn, who is less than a thousand years old, can indeed be called a little girl.
However, except for the Black Dragon Princess, who has no interaction with Aegwynn, everyone present is younger than Aegwynn, including Sharlayan and Jaina, who are theoretically closest to Aegwynn.
It is obviously not an easy task to persuade a senior who has gone through all kinds of ups and downs and is now very disheartened to let go of his heart.
Sarlayan rubbed his brows with a headache: "Actually, it is best for Aegwynn's only blood relative, Medivh, to persuade her about this kind of thing, but... you also know how awkward the relationship between mother and son is."
Jaina smiled bitterly and shrugged: "Medivh and Aegwynn have very similar personalities. They are both extremely egotistical people. Once they decide on an idea, they will stick to it unswervingly. It is difficult for others to persuade them to change their minds."
Tinagosa suddenly raised her hand and made a suggestion: "In terms of relationship, Khadgar should be considered Aegwynn's disciple. He can barely be considered a family. Can he be entrusted to convince his master?"
"Khadgar..."
Jaina lowered her head and pondered for a moment before saying uncertainly: "According to what I know about Khadgar, unlike Medivh who is poor at words and has a gloomy personality, he is very eloquent and has a very cheerful personality."
"After the master-student teaching battle with Medivh, Khadgar's knot in his heart has almost been resolved, and letting him take action... is not completely impossible."
Azeroth is destined to face many powerful enemies in the future. Forging iron requires hard work, so the more high-end combat power available, the better.
As Sharlayan mentioned to Raiden and Odin before, this is already the age of mortals, and the main force protecting Azeroth must be the mortals with the largest population base.
Tosarian selflessly announced the blessing of breaking through the mortal bottleneck of experience. In the future, more and more mortal heroes should cross the final threshold and become demigods.
But this is bound to take a lot of time. After all, a mortal with the talent to become a demigod is not a piece of cake.
Even with the valuable experience left by our predecessors, breakthroughs cannot be accomplished in a flash.
"Speaking of which, I have a question."
Stellagosa suddenly asked thoughtfully: "Malfurion and Tyrande have been in retreat for quite some time. With their talents, they shouldn't be unable to achieve results for so long."
Sarlayan raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is also an issue that has troubled me recently. I suspect that they may have encountered other troubles during their retreat."
Valeera narrowed her eyes slightly and proposed a possibility: "Can you influence the heroic couple...the Nightmare King in seclusion?"
"Maybe."
Sarlayan spread his hands and said: "But this is none of our business after all. With Varoson's ability, it will be difficult to restrain the geniuses Malfurion and Tyrande for a long time."
"Besides, Fandral, Maiev and Jarod are not vegetarians. The night elves with profound knowledge do not need us to worry. Those two should be able to come up with a solution to the situation soon."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Let's talk about Aegwynn first."
Sarlayan pondered for a moment before continuing: "I suggest that it is best to have a two-pronged approach... or even a three-pronged approach."
"When she was young, Aegwynn had an aloof character, and there were very few people she could consider as friends. Now there happens to be one beside Aegwynn."
Jaina nodded and agreed: "Merry Winterwind, the first lich in the history of Azeroth, and the speaker of the new Parliament of Tirisfal."
"Khadgar, Medivh and Merry Winterwind, if we can convince the three of them to act one after another, there should be hope that Aegwynn's will to die will be dispelled."
"After that...just like Oni said, it's nothing more than a blessing of life."
The life blessing for Aegwynn does not require as much life force as Calia's.
Aegwynn's situation is completely different from Calia's. Having once stepped into the threshold of a demigod, she only needs to repair her body's shortcomings, and she will soon be able to return to the demigod realm like Medivh with her own experience.
This kind of small project doesn't even need to ask other red dragons to help. Sharlayan can handle it by himself. It's nothing more than being weak for 1-2 months.
Jaina said calmly: "I will contact those three people one after another as Aegwynn's registered disciple. As for whether I can convince them... Khadgar and Merry Winterwind are okay, but I am not very sure about Medivh.
"
Sarlayan patted Jaina on the shoulder encouragingly: "You don't need to use too many modifiers, just tell the truth."
"Although the relationship between Medivh and Aegwynn is relatively subtle, they are mother and son whose blood is thicker than water after all. He definitely doesn't want to see his mother die early. It's just that the guy's mouth is stupid and he is not good at expressing personal emotions."
"In this aspect, Aegwynn is actually not much better. Both mother and son have poor emotional intelligence."
Jaina sighed: "Then I'll try my best. I hope I won't disappoint your expectations."
While the family was chatting in the living room, the servants finally prepared the dinner.
"Let's go." Sarlayan took the lead and stood up together with Tinagosa who was still sitting on his shoulders: "Let's go have a meal first. By the way, it's time to talk about my situation."
…
During the meal, Sarlayan briefly explained what he had learned from his trip to Ulduar.
Onyxia, who had longed for her for a long time, finally saw Sarlayan's horns again.
Not only Onyxia, but Tinagosa and Stellagosa also moved their eyes to look at Sarlayan's sharp dragon horns that shot straight into the sky.
Others were a little confused by the reactions of the three dragons. Sarlayan shook his head with a wry smile and explained: "It is said that dragon horns are one of the most important charms of an adult dragon."
"I can't understand it myself, but from the looks of them...it seems like my dragon horns are pretty good, right?"
"It's more than just getting by!"
Onyxia stood up holding the knife and fork with some excitement: "This must be given to me by the ancestor dragon Galakrond... oh!"
Stellagosa angrily withdrew the elbow that had sunk into Onyxia's belly: "Don't go crazy here! Others won't understand it if you say it, so why not just muffle it and enjoy it yourself."
