Chapter 24 Chapter Twenty-Four

Five minutes earlier, Aegwynn had asked Zmodor to stop those childish tricks.This kind of trick of only hearing the sound and not seeing the person may scare ordinary people, but in fact it is a very simple magic, and anyone who is new to magic can know it.So Aegwynn wasn't afraid at all. But now, seeing Zmodor with a large body, rough skin, bat wings and two fiery red eyes standing in front of him, Aegwynn couldn't help but regret his talk.Generally speaking, demons are ugly, but even by the standards of demons, Zmodor can be described as hideously ugly. Next to the demon stood eight hooded guys screaming at the top of their lungs.If you guessed right, they are those warlocks.

Jaina reached inside her cloak and quickly produced a scroll.Aegwynn heaved a sigh of relief, which meant that everything would be over soon.Now that Zmodor is present, Jaina can cast the exorcism. Suddenly, Jaina screamed and fell to the ground. "Jaina!" Aegwynn ran to the young mage.Lorena is a good fighter, and she immediately stood between the demon and Jaina. Jaina struggled to her feet, beads of sweat beading her brow.She gritted her teeth tightly, "Those warlocks... blocked my spell." Aegwynn also sensed that the warlocks were chanting spells.Although there are many of them, all the magic added together is very weak.A mage like Jaina should be able to destroy them easily.

But there is one exception, that is, excessive casting of spells and severe damage to vitality. Jaina pushed hard—Aegwynn felt it—but now she couldn't even handle Zmodor's slaves. This is even more exciting than I expected.Rest assured, I will make the orcs responsible for killing Proudmoore.Humans will definitely go crazy, and they will attack the orcs desperately.Without her leadership, the humans are doomed - but before they do, they will surely kill all the orcs they can.It's really spectacular! "Go to hell," Aegwynn muttered.That's all she can do now. It has been almost four years since Medivh was revived and awakened.As she told Jaina, she had almost used up all her magic powers at the time - but they hadn't completely disappeared.In the twenty years since she fled to Scar Heights, she has rediscovered a part of her that has allowed her to bring her son back to life.Although her magical power has not increased in the past four years, she has retained the original one.Even without the magic—she'd lived a thousand years anyway.As Lorena said, she got a lot more than most people for that alone.

Big drops of sweat rolled down Jaina's face.She was on her knees now, her clenched fists resting limply on her lap.Aegwynn could feel Jaina trying to penetrate the barriers of the sorcerers as she chanted the spells she had written. Aegwynn knelt beside Jaina and took the young mage's left hand in both of his.She closed her eyes, concentrated, and gathered all her life's magic and power... pooling... transforming... teleporting... through the arm...forearm...into the hand. Then onto Jaina. Sudden fatigue overwhelmed Aegwynn.The bones suddenly became heavy, and the muscles all over the body began to ache, as if he had just finished a long-distance run, and his breathing became more and more rapid.Aegwynn ignored all of this and continued to send her life, her magic, and her soul to Jaina Proudmoore.

Jaina opened her eyes.Eyes that were originally light blue are now fiery red. No! Aegwynn and Jaina shouted at the same time: "Good!" You cannot stop the Burning Blade Clan!We are invincible, we are invincible, we— Zmodor's screams echoed throughout the cavern.The sorcerers screamed too, their ties to the daemon making them do the same.Aegwynn's vision began to blur, and she vaguely saw Zmodor's ugly body twisting and struggling, and blood began to spurt from the burst wound. The wind howled, as if the air had been torn apart by a spell written by Aegwynn—the gates of the Twisting Nether opened—and Zmodor's body was swept into the door piece by piece.

No!I will never let you drive— Zmodor's voice faded away with the engulfing of the head. The warlocks were still screaming.The ground beneath Aegwynn's feet also began to shake.After a while, their voices also disappeared.They too are drawn into the Twisting Nether, and they will suffer a thousand times more pain than the people they seek to inflict on this continent. The gates are closed—but the cave still shakes. Lorena showed a warrior's keen observation ability to the outside world, and shouted: "We must leave here immediately!" Aegwynn could no longer lift his feet.Her arms and legs were as heavy as death.Her strength was only enough for her to open her eyes.

A stalactite fell from the ceiling and landed within a hand's width of Aegwynn and Jaina. Aegwynn heard Jaina say the teleportation spell. She left where she was. end Queen Proudmoore once again stood on a hill in Razor Hill, gazing raptly at Durotar in the distance. Soon, she heard a low rumbling sound.Thrall's ship has arrived.This time, the Chief brought an honor guard, but they all stayed on the ship.Thrall climbed down the rope ladder, followed by a warrior Jaina didn't recognize.Once on the hill, the warrior stood three paces away from Thrall with the ax in hand. Jaina tilted her head and smiled: "You don't believe me, Thrall?"

Thrall smiled, too. "My most trusted lieutenant betrayed me, Jaina. I think I'd better stay alert at all times—and have someone guard me at all times." "Smart move." "The threat is really completely lifted?" Jaina nodded: "It seems so. Zmodor and the gang of warlocks who planned all this behind the scenes have been driven to the Twisting Nether. It will be difficult for the Burning Legion to rescue them this time—let alone the Burning Legion. The legion will not spend so much effort for a little devil." "Nice job. I really hope this is resolved before those unnecessary deaths and injuries occur." Thrall took out a blade-shaped allegiance charm of the Burning Blade clan from his waist.Jaina guessed it must belong to Birx, the minister who, like Christopher, was in collusion with Zmodor.According to Major Davin's report - along with his resignation - Thrall killed Birx for collusion in front of all orc and troll warriors.

Jaina sighed: "We are still very lucky, Thrall. Zmodor may be responsible for all this, but he has so easily stirred up the existing conflicts and hatred between us. Look, your people It's so easy to fight with my people at Northpost." "Yes, our people have cooperated with our common enemy, the Burning Legion, so easily, and now..." Thrall's voice gradually dropped. The two were silent for a long time.Jaina said: "Before I proposed that after this crisis passed, our two countries should conclude a formal alliance." "Yes. We must formalize our alliance if it is to continue after our death."

"I suggest that we meet in Ratchet City, a neutral port, a week from today, and we will discuss the details of the covenant in detail." "I agree. I'll take Karser, he's the smartest." Jaina couldn't help asking: "Smarter than the chief?" Thrall smiled and said, "Much smarter than him. That's it, Jaina." "Great, goodbye, Sal. See you in a week." "Goodbye, Jaina. Hope our relationship is stronger than before after this crisis." Jaina nodded, and spoke the teleportation spell that would bring her back to the council chamber.

Aegwynn was there waiting for her.It was several days before the old woman woke up after coming out of the cave.At one point, Jaina feared that the Guardians would never wake up again. Jaina could only teleport the three of them to a smoke-free place below Dreadmist Peak.She couldn't teleport forward any more.Still, she gritted her teeth and sent the message to Theramore, ordering them to send a ship to fetch them. By the time the ship came to rescue them, Jaina was exhausted and Aegwynn was as weak as a dying kitten.Jaina regained her strength after a hot meal and a short rest, but it took too long for Aegwynn.The physician initially diagnosed Aegwynn's condition as dangerous, but a few days later he said that she was as strong as an elf. Sure enough, she made a full recovery.Now, she sits at the guest table in Jaina's council chamber. "It's almost time for you to be back." "I see you're fully recovered, Magna—even your tongue." Aegwynn smiled and said, "It seems so." Jaina, exhausted, plopped down on the throne.Of course, she very much hoped that she could take a good rest for a few days and completely recover from this painful torment, but she really couldn't spare the time.Without the Minister of Internal Affairs, she also lacked an assistant to help her deal with government affairs.Defei tried her best to help her, and her spirit was commendable, but she was powerless about how to deal with complicated state affairs.Lorena was more helpful to her, but it was only military affairs, and she knew nothing about government affairs.So Gianna couldn't fully relax -- much to the doctor's annoyance -- and she was even more tired. Jaina stared at Aegwynn, and Aegwynn looked back at her with her dark blue eyes.Jaina gasped at the thought that she had only been able to defeat Zmodor because she had chosen Scar Rise purely by chance to house the Thunder Lizard.Even if she finds out the real culprit behind all this - Zmodor, without the help of this former mage, it is impossible for her to defeat the demon and his minions. "I want to thank you, McGonagall - Aegwynn. Without you, we must have lost." Aegwynn lowered his head humbly. "I guess you must really want to go back to Scar Heights." "Actually," Aegwynn smiled sadly, "no." Jaina blinked. "No?" "I'll be back for a while, though. I'll pick again before those thunder lizards make a mess of my vegetable garden. I've been cut off from this world for so long, and I think it's time for me to return to it Yes. But only if the world accepts me.” "There is no doubt," said Jaina, standing up from her throne. She had imagined that Aegwynn could do this, but she never dreamed that it would come true. Mind and positive attitude, so that I can work safely, and give me some reminders when necessary. I can see that you meet all the requirements-especially the last one." Aegwynn laughed loudly and said, "Of course. Although the first two things have yet to be proved, I think a thousand years have taught me some knowledge and ability." Aegwynn stood up, and Jaina also stood up.Aegwynn stretched out a hand: "I accept." Jaina held the hand quietly and said excitedly, "That's great. Thank you again, Aegwynn. You won't regret it." "I'm sure I won't regret it, but it's possible for you." Aegwynn withdrew his hand and sat down again, "As your Minister of Internal Affairs, the first piece of advice I'll give you is—Christopher is right, Zmodor is just a little devil, and he doesn't have the brains to plan such a big conspiracy." Jaina frowned: "I remember you said that he founded the Burning Blade Clan." "True, but it's a cover for their recruiting. He's just a small part of the whole plot. You said yourself that he's just a demon left in this world after the Burning Legion was driven back." Jaina already knew what was going on, but she still wanted it from the Guardian. "So what, Aegwynn?" "What I want to say is, Jaina, the Burning Blade clan may have brought us far more trouble than that."
