Jaina noticed something strange. Guardian Aegwynn's emotions, which had been tempered for thousands of years, were originally as unshakable as a thousand-year-old iceberg, but now there was a slight fluctuation.
Jaina didn't dare to guess what happened to touch the former guardian of Gujing Mubo.
"King Varian has successfully arrived in Theramore." Jaina smiled happily. This was the smile of finally succeeding after a long period of hard work, just like pursuing a certain goddess with difficulty and finally embracing the beauty.
But then her face darkened, and Jaina said anxiously: "I saw a little girl on the way back to the sea."
Jaina briefly told the story of her fight with the little girl. Of course, she only said that she was evenly matched with the little girl, and she did not explain that she had lost and begged for her life.
Aegwynn nodded, seemingly not taking it to heart at all: "Don't worry, she is Anveena, the incarnation of the Sunwell. The blue dragon Kalecgos found her as early as a year ago. Don't worry, she is completely under our control."
Under control.”
This is a lie and a poor excuse.
Although Jaina's ability to see into people's hearts has not been fully developed, and she cannot tell whether the former guardian is lying, she has her own source of information. A year ago, when the blue dragon Kalecgos was investigating the energy of the Sunwell, he was killed by a group of professional dragon hunters.
The dwarf was injured in the attack and was treated by Anveena, the incarnation of the Sunwell.
Afterwards, it was discovered that Anweina was just an ordinary human girl with a little bit of magic skills. Other than that, there was nothing special about her. This was a cleverly arranged man-made encounter, and the person behind the scenes and the purpose were unknown.
But for the sake of Kalecgos's reputation as a warrior, he had to conceal the truth that this was a lie.
Kalecgos is weak in strength, but he likes to cause trouble everywhere. With such a dragon gradually rising among the blue dragons, he has the right to speak, and may even replace the old blue dragon king. Medivh is very relieved. From now on, the blue dragons are like
Just like a group of sheep, you can eat the meat if you want to eat it, and skin it if you want to skin it.
Jaina is quite smart, and she certainly doesn't dare to expose the former guardian's lies.
"Remember, Jaina, we must be cautious."
Aegwynn said in a lecturing tone: "People like us who live in the cracks and are obsessed with the pursuit of power must keep their minds pure and don't be too ambitious. Go entertain King Varian and try to meet his conditions.
, at least before meeting Sal, I don’t want to make any mistakes.”
"yes!"
Jaina cautiously resigned.
Archmage Tevorsh led the way. This relatively young mage was once Jaina's senior.
He was originally a noble of Lordaeron. Because of his persistent pursuit of magic and his attitude of never getting involved in political affairs, he received the support of Jaina and was responsible for managing the Mage Tower.
Tasked by Jaina to receive King Varian, Archmage Tevosh felt that this was Jaina's trust in him, so he accepted the task with fear.
"I am the king of Stormwind City. I am Varian, but I am also Lagash. The king will not rest. Take me to inspect Theramore's defense. I must ensure that the damn Horde cannot capture Theramore."
Experimental Subject No. 5 has a serious expression, and has the ambition to finally become a king and work hard to achieve great things.
"Inspecting Theramore's defenses?"
Archmage Tevorsh scratched his head and didn't quite understand what this operation was. He had never heard of a certain king having such a hobby. He was unprepared and could only take His Majesty the King to wander around Theramore.
In the impression, Theramore should be a strong fortress, an important port city. To compete with the eager tribes for dominance of Kalimdor, it must have strong walls, tall towers and loyal soldiers.
Experimental Subject No. 5 had a problem as soon as he left the mage tower. He stepped on a stone paved road, and a stone shook, spurting out a stream of sewage and splashing mud all over his pants.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
Archmage Tevosh quickly apologized, but what can be done? The stone roads in Theramore are barely paved. They pursue the fastest completion speed and cut corners to the extreme. Anyway, Jaina has never walked on such a road.
Basically, she relies on flying.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't take it to heart."
Experimental Subject No. 5 didn't care. He was not the real Varian. He had never encountered anything dirty before possessing this body.
"Your Majesty the King, we have a nice secret tavern in Theramore, which is dedicated to entertaining the most distinguished guests."
Archmage Tevosh lowered his voice and suggested in a low voice: "There is delicious barbecue there. It is said to come from the mist-covered Pandaria and is baked by pandaren cubs. It is extremely delicious."
Subject No. 5 frowned after hearing this. Pandaria has been covered in fog all year round and is unknown to the public. In this era, people don't know much about the Pandaren, and most people have never heard of this creature.
Of course, the unknown is not the main factor in becoming food. Archmage Tevosh was unhappy when he saw the king and thought it was not in the taste. He hurriedly introduced it again: "Your Majesty the King, we also have roasted tauren meat from Mulgore. You
You can cut the meat from a living tauren by yourself, ensuring it is fresh and delicious."
Experimental Subject No. 5's face quickly darkened. He recalled his time as a tauren and almost felt the same way. In just a few years, those proud tauren who called themselves sons of the earth had already fallen to this point.
Archmage Tevorsh was stunned. As expected of a king, he is indeed difficult to serve and has a tricky taste: "Your Majesty the King, I wonder what flavor you like? How about centaur? It's just that the meat is a bit rough and difficult to swallow."
Experimental Subject No. 5 waved his arms angrily and roared:
"Mage, don't you think it is a barbaric act to feed on intelligent creatures?"
Archmage Tevorsh was stunned at first, then disagreed and replied matter-of-factly:
"Back to His Majesty the King, we Theramore have accepted the most advanced orc civilization. Except for the noble and great orcs, there is nothing that cannot be used as food, even us humans. I think this is an excellent inheritance and should be carried forward."
"Okay!" Experimental Subject No. 5 didn't want to argue with him, as this was inconsistent with his status as a king, so he winked at Robbie behind him and asked for help.
Robbie shrugged his shoulders and expressed his helplessness. He envied Vanessa. Vanessa disappeared as soon as she walked out of the portal. Archmage Twosh thought the king only brought one guard.
Experimental Subject No. 5 showed enough personality that he didn't care about Archmage Tevosh's guidance at all and just wandered around the city on his own, going wherever he wanted.
The streets in Theramore are in very poor condition, with only a few simple stone pavements, and otherwise there are muddy paths, dark and gloomy twisting alleys.
Sewage is flowing everywhere and garbage is strewn everywhere.
Although there are solid stone buildings, they are limited to a few buildings such as barracks, mage tower, tavern, and Jaina's residence.
The others are all simple cabins with drafts from all sides, low, dark and damp. Even the most difficult old city in Stormwind City is much better than here.
Theramore is a seaport city that is often hit by strong winds. I wonder if these residents can survive the next big storm.
The residents here are all disheveled. They are skinny and sallow, showing a state of insensitivity. They stare directly at the gorgeously dressed outsiders. From time to time, naked children run past, covered in mud.
This is Theramore, a large slum.
After seeing this, Robby and Experimental Subject No. 5 both had sad expressions on their faces.
How could young Jaina, an archmage obsessed with the pursuit of power, know how to govern a city?
Soon, the three of them came to the city gate. Looking at the dilapidated and moss-covered city gate, Experimental Subject No. 5 was a little confused.
"Bring me a strong spear."
Experimental Subject No. 5 ordered. (To be continued)
