Since being "expelled" from Daala, Kel'Thuzad temporarily put aside the research habit he had developed over the years and embarked on a rare journey.
Kel'Thuzad, who has transformed himself into a lich, no longer has to worry about the limit of his lifespan and has more time to do the things he likes.
He left Daala and then went all the way north to Sunsail Port. He transferred to Boralus via a ship arranged by Sarlayan in advance and crossed the ocean to the continent of Kalimdor on the other side of the Endless Sea.
Due to the great distance between the two continents and the negative impact of large vortices on ocean currents, there are very few safe routes between the two continents, and a one-way voyage can easily take more than a month.
Due to the inconvenience of mutual communication and the rejection of foreigners by the night elves, the overlord of Kalimdor, for most residents of the Eastern Kingdom, the continent of Kalimdor is just a legend and has never been seen with their own eyes.
As a member of the original Kirin Tor Council and a learned archmage, Kel'Thuzad knew that Kalimdor was real.
But due to the day-to-day research work and the responsibilities of the Kirin Tor Councilor, he has never been able to take the time to travel to Kalimdor in person.
After putting down all his duties in Dalaran, Kel'Thuzad adopted Sarlayan's suggestion that "it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books" and decided to take this opportunity to travel around Azeroth and see with his own eyes the aliens he had never come into contact with before. Mainland people and things.
After traveling for more than 2 years, Kel'Thuzad, who was the first to land at the South Sea Port, traveled through the entire Kalimdor from south to north.
Three months ago, Kel'Thuzad set off again by ship from the Estorante port in the Azshara region, heading north to the continent of Northrend to prepare for the upcoming "opportunity".
Unfortunately, the night elf downwind ship Kel'Thuzad was on was attacked by a naga in the sea.
Under the protection of the escorting Hydashia water element, the cargo ship luckily escaped the encirclement.
However, due to the serious damage to the bottom of the ship during the battle, the ship was still unable to reach the port in the Borean Tundra and sank into the sea halfway.
A problem was discovered when the cargo ship's sailors took a dinghy away from the sinking ship and began counting people.
The passenger who hitched the boat was missing. Some people saw that he was thrown into the sea because of the instability of the lower body when the big boat was shaken by the waves.
This situation is not surprising. When the wind is high and the waves are rough, even skilled sailors who have been making a living at sea for many years do not dare to stand on the deck that tilts back and forth.
The crew of the cargo ship, who were unable to save themselves, could not turn around to save others, so they could only mourn for the passenger who fell into the water.
Fortunately, the place where the cargo ship sank was not far from the Borean Tundra. The night elf search and rescue ship quickly arrived from the coastline and rescued these distressed sailors floating on the sea.
The person responsible for leading the night elf pioneering troops is Fandral Staghelm, a member of the Night Council and in charge of reform and pioneering affairs.
"Falling into the water?"
When he learned that Kel'Thuzad had fallen into the sea, Staghelm was stunned for a moment, then turned to the lieutenant beside him and asked: "I remember Sharlayan said that the guy who hitched the boat was a lich, right? ?”
When Sharlayan, who was far away in Dalaran, received news of Kel'Thuzad's disappearance, he was struggling to deal with Jaina's stalking.
Jaina has repeatedly emphasized before that she hopes Sharlayan will take her with him when he goes to Kalimdor to look for Aegwynn.
Magna Aegwynn is the idol of most witches, including Jaina.
Except for Queen Azshara, who was regarded as a villain in ancient times, Aegwynn is the most powerful mortal witch in the history of Azeroth, not even one.
After nearly two years of study, Jaina no longer needs to continue working behind closed doors in Dalaran.
As the same saying goes, the master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual.
Just like what the barrage said, in the world line where Sarlayan is located, Jaina received a much better education than in the original history.
In the original history, Jaina studied with Antonidas since she was a child, and she had a very strong mark of Dalaran on her body.
The spellcasting profession of mage is different from the physical professions of warriors and thieves that require specialization. The more knowledgeable they are, the stronger their combat effectiveness will be.
When Jaina was less than 10 years old, she met Sharlayan who fell from the sky to Kul Tiras. From here on, the trajectory of her life changed drastically.
Due to the changes caused by Sharlayan, little Jaina received the teachings of the Tidesage during her enlightenment period and learned part of the knowledge of the native spellcasters of Kul Tiras.
At that time, the relationship between Kul Tiras and Dalaran was tense because of Lordaeron. The angry Daelin felt cruel and sent Jaina to the magical kingdom of Quel'Thala, which was more famous than Dalaran. Study here.
Gianna's first mentor was a heavyweight.
In order to strengthen the connection between the two countries, Kael'thas, who was still a prince at the time, accepted Jaina as his personal apprentice and dutifully guided her to officially enter the door of the arcanist.
During those years of studying in Quel'Thalas, Jaina met many new friends, including Tinargosa and Stellagosa.
As Gianna's love gradually blossomed as a girl, she decided early on that she wanted to be with the prince charming for the rest of her life...that is, her brother Sarlayan, who had played with her since childhood.
Those few years in Quel'Thalas were very important to Jaina's growth.
Not only did she read all the precious magic books in the Royal Library of Quel'Thalas by virtue of her status as the prince's personal apprentice, but she also gained the right to enter the Great Library of Suramar and read at will after Sarlayan opened the door to Suramar. The amount of knowledge stored grows exponentially.
And after that, Elisande, who recovered Narthalas College, would occasionally invite Jaina to read and discuss the precious ancient books found in Narthalas.
The reason why she made rapid progress after going to Dalaran for further study was mainly because of the accumulation during this period, which happened to be accumulated at a time when the maturing Jaina's magic power was growing rapidly.
When he first met Jaina in Quel'Thalas, Antonidas just wanted her to assist Zoronin in securing the position of Chancellor and strengthen the relationship with Kul Tiras and Quel'Thalas.
After witnessing Gianna's rapid progress over the past two years, Antonidas's mind changed again.
At least in his lifetime, he had never seen an arcanist with such an exaggerated talent.
Antonidas had a hunch that Jaina would grow into Dalaran's sea-fixing needle in the future, and even have the chance to become another demigod mage after Queen Azshara and Aegwynn who surpassed the limits of mortals.
"So, you wizards are just inferior. The first two demigod mages are both witches, and the third one may be a woman. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Sarlayan looked at Luo Ning with a look of disgust. This unkind and bad friend had been watching the fun from the side. He ignored Sarlayan's look for help and watched with a smile as he was repeatedly pestered by Jaina.
"Uh~"
Luo Ning, who was suddenly shot, twitched his face: "I also want to work hard to break through, but unfortunately, my growth in this life will not be too great."
Sarlayan, who was tightly holding hands with Jaina, curled his lips: "Don't rush to conclusions. How do you think Jaina grew up so quickly?"
"What a wealth of knowledge, my friend."
Luo Ning's eyes flashed with anticipation: "Is it possible that His Majesty Kael'thas is willing to open the library of Quel'Thalas to Dalaran?"
Sarlayan rolled his eyes angrily: "Are you dreaming? Why do you ask us to pay unilaterally for no reason?"
Seeing the disappointment on Ronin's face, Sarlayan raised his foot and kicked him on the butt.
"Giving up so quickly? Can't you hold on a little longer? Three-second man!"
Even a man couldn't stand this kind of slander. Veins popped up on Luo Ning's forehead and he stared at Sarlayan with an unkind expression.
"What exactly do you mean? Be clear."
Sarlayan smiled meaningfully: "Quel'Thalas and Suramar recently jointly passed a resolution regarding academic exchanges."
"As long as Elisande can provide valuable academic knowledge to Quel'Thalas, Quel'Thalas is also willing to open its precious collection of books to Suramar, and... this pilot agreement covers and is not limited to Suramar. Ma, it is likely that the scope of academic exchanges will be further expanded in the future.”
This news is too important for Luo Ning, whose strength has gradually stalled.
If he could get the opportunity to read the books in Quel'Thalas and Suramar and accumulate more ancient arcane knowledge, he was confident that he could make further progress.
Suppressing his inner excitement, Luo Ning and Jaina exchanged glances.
"I will tell Speaker Antonidas about this. I think he will take the initiative to request communication from Quel'Thalas in the near future."
Sarlayan patted Luo Ning on the shoulder with satisfaction: "You can teach a kid. The truth is that you have to argue more and more clearly. Working behind closed doors will not produce many valuable research results."
"Keep working hard, old friend. I hope that one day you can break through the natural chasm that restricts mortals."
