When Sarlayan first met Jaina, she was just a yellow-haired little girl less than 10 years old. She was only as tall as Sarlayan's waist and could easily lift her up with one hand.
More than 5 years have passed by in a hurry, and the little Douding that he once was is no longer what he used to be.
Girls develop earlier. Gianna, who is about to turn 15, is basically mature and begins to show what Danmu said is the beauty of a country.
'No wonder Arthas gradually changed his attitude. He followed Jaina and licked her all day long. It was really a transformation of a woman. '
It can be said that Sharlayan has watched Jaina grow up little by little, witnessing her gradual transformation from the cute and cute girl she was when she was a child to the stunningly beautiful girl she is today.
With her stunningly beautiful appearance and increasingly mature figure, coupled with the mage's unique intellectual temperament that still retains a bit of girlish naivety, it's not surprising that she attracts bees and butterflies.
When she met Sarlayan in the past, Jaina would rush towards Sarlayan regardless of her appearance, rush into Sarlayan's arms like a cannonball, and shout "Brother Sarlayan" happily.
But now that Jaina has grown up, Sharlayan can no longer look at her with the same old eyes, and should give her the same respect as her peers.
"Jaina, spending time in Dalaran..."
Before Sarlayan's smiling greetings could end, the little princess suddenly pursed her lips and started to rush without any warning.
"Brother Sarlayan! Long time no see!"
"puff!"
In front of Onyxia and Stellagosa, Jaina did not hesitate and "bumped" into Sharlayan's arms as usual.
"Ahem!"
The old speaker Antonidas hurriedly pretended to cough, reminding his disciples to pay attention to their appearance, but accidentally choked his saliva into the trachea, his face turned red and he slapped his chest with his hands, and he really started coughing.
Luo Ning on the side hurriedly supported Antonidas who was coughing non-stop: "Speaker! Are you okay?"
Onyxia's slender eyes narrowed slightly, and her face changed as she looked at the beautiful blond girl who was leaning on Sarlayan and wouldn't let go.
"Little Star, this child is the Princess of Kul Tiras that you and Valeera mentioned, Jaina Proudmoore?"
Stellagosa smiled bitterly and patted her forehead: "Yes, this girl has been very attached to Sarlayan since she was a child. I thought that when she grew up and became sensible, she would be more reserved and restrained, but I didn't expect..."
"Haha~"
Onyxia joked: "Reserved? Like you and Valeela?"
"Come to think of it, I quite admire this kid's style of daring to love and hate. At least he is braver than the two of you."
Stellagosa and Onyxia are both dragons. Due to the dragon values education they received since childhood, they are far less concerned about competing for favor than mortals.
Stellagosa has been in contact with mortals for a long time, and it is inevitable that she will be infected with some mortal views.
Onyxia didn't care how many confidantes Sharlayan had around her. Anyway, they would never be more than her father, Deathwing's consort.
In the view of dragons, it is not unusual for an excellent dragon to have multiple partners.
Onyxia, the fun-loving person, smelled the aura of fun, but unfortunately the jealous Valeera did not follow her. Only the half-hearted Stellagosa followed her, which made her somewhat regretful.
In order to personally welcome Sarlayan's arrival, Antonidas evacuated the crowd at the scene in advance.
At this time, there are only a few managers stationed here all year round in the teleportation hall, so that Shalayan will not be embarrassed and want to escape Azeroth immediately.
"Ahem~ So what, Jaina, you have grown up. There are differences between men and women. You should pay attention to your image in the future to prevent bad rumors from spreading freely in Dalaran."
"Um?"
Jaina raised her head from Sarlayan's arms in confusion: "What's wrong with me celebrating with my brother who reunited after a long separation? What's the point of spreading rumors?"
"That's what I said..."
Sarlayan scratched his cheek in embarrassment: "Although I regard you as my real sister, we are not related by blood after all. If you are seen by unfamiliar people, gossips will inevitably spread everywhere. This pair of You have a bad reputation."
The first half of Sarlayan's words made Jaina's eyebrows twitch slightly. Onyxia, who had been observing from the side, accurately captured some changes in her expression, with a look of amusement in her eyes.
"Hmph! Let them talk if they like. I don't mind."
"Cough cough... cough cough cough!"
With Luo Ning's help, Antonidas finally coughed out the saliva stuck in his trachea and gradually regained his breath.
"Ahem, Jaina, you can't say that."
"As a princess of Kul Tiras and a reserve member of the Kirin Tor, your image represents more than just yourself, so you still have to be careful."
10-16 years old is the fastest growing period for girls. As the body gradually matures, Gianna's magic power also increases.
Under the systematic instruction of two famous teachers, Jaina's strength improved at a speed that surprised even Sarlayan.
Jaina, who was only 15 years old, already had a level 25 arcanist level. Sarlayan suspected that she had lived like a dog before she was 15 years old.
Not to mention Sarlayan, even the well-informed Antonidas has never heard of this speed of progress.
This strengthened his determination to train Jaina as a Kirin Tor councilor. She and the equally talented Ronin could support Dalaran's appearance for two generations.
As he grows older year by year, even if he can still use arcane magic to extend his life, Antonidas feels increasingly powerless when dealing with Dalaran affairs.
His era has gradually come to an end. Azeroth and Dalaran have changed a lot in the past few years, and Antonidas is overwhelmed by the endless new knowledge.
Antonidas, who felt that he could not keep up with the changes of the times, gradually placed the burden on Luoning and devoted himself to cultivating his qualifications and ability.
Within three years at the latest, Antonidas plans to officially retire and hand over the future of Dalaran to the younger generation who can better grasp the context of the times.
Antonidas planned to try his best to see if he could push the rapidly improving Jaina into the Kirin Tor Council before he abdicated.
The minimum standard for entering the Kirin Tor Council is the same as that of the Silver Moon Council. You must be an archmage, which means you need to reach the legendary level.
It took three years to train a fledgling apprentice into an archmage. Before Jaina was born, Antonidas didn't even dare to think about it.
But now it seems that this ambition may actually succeed.
Antonidas' life has basically come to an end, and he wants to leave one last outstanding achievement before his death.
It was also for this reason that Antonidas was very unhappy with Arthas who often harassed Jaina.
He even considered moving the floating city of Dalaran away from the influence of Lordaeron, leaving no chance for the old rogue Terenas.
Unfortunately, the Kirin Tor Council has never been able to come up with a relocation address that satisfies Antonidas, so the matter can only be delayed for the time being.
Fortunately, Jaina was self-disciplined enough to show no pretense in her crazy pursuit of Alsace.
Antonidas was very pleased with this and once thought that Gianna planned to put her career first.
However, the scene played out today shattered the old mage's luck.
It turned out that Jaina didn't put her career first, she just looked down on Alsace, and she already had a sweetheart of her own.
"Hey~"
The old speaker felt a little tired.
But when he thought about it carefully, it wasn't like he couldn't understand Jaina's thoughts.
Sarlayan is half high elf blood, and he is very good-looking and capable of fighting.
According to Luo Ning, the other half of his bloodline comes from the noble dragon clan.
The advantage of bloodline is only one aspect. The key is that Sarlayan himself is very ambitious. He has held great power in Quel'Thalas at a young age. He has participated in many important decisions that are beneficial to the development of Quel'Thalas and has won the trust of two generations. The trust of the Sun King.
In comparison, Alsace, who was still a bit fussy, was just a child who hadn't grown up yet.
Although he tried hard to show off his own charm, if compared with Sharlayan... Antonidas knew how Jaina would choose without even thinking about it.
Fortunately, Sarlayan was reliable and did not leave Antonidas aside.
After several attempts to push Jaina away without success, Sarlayan, who was worried about hurting her, finally gave up.
"Speaker Antonidas, I'm sorry for making you laugh."
"Where there."
The people in the sedan chair were carrying the people, and Sarlayan apologetically handed him down the steps. Antonidas naturally used the slope to get off the donkey.
"This is not the place for conversation. Please three of us go to the Violet Castle with us to discuss it in detail."
While turning around to open the portal, Antonidas glared at the shameless young apprentice without leaving any trace, and received a tongue-sticking face from Jaina.
'Hey, women are not admitted to the university... Forget it, let Dai Lin worry about this problem. '
