Sarlayan and Khadgar had been busy with all kinds of miscellaneous affairs after they separated in Karazhan, and they had no time to stay in Dalaran to eat at close range like Jaina.
Just as he said, after Khadgar took care of some finishing work in Karazhan, he took his old butler Moros with him and set off for Dalaran.
The main purpose of Khadgar's trip was to be invited to join the Kirin Tor Council to perform his duties, but in fact, what he valued most was not something that could greatly enhance his personal status and influence, but the long-lasting relationship between him and his mentor Medivh. meet again.
It must be said that the magical world of Azeroth has always had a tradition of "a loving father and a filial son."
According to the information provided by the barrage, in their culture, there has always been a saying that once you are a teacher, you will always be a father.
From this perspective, Khadgar, who participated in the battle to kill Medivh himself, can also be regarded as a practitioner of Azeroth's strange tradition of "a loving father and a filial son."
Looking at the overall situation, Khadgar has a clear conscience.
Under those circumstances, Medivh, who was completely controlled by Sargeras, had become the biggest threat to Azeroth, if not one of them.
Even if there were no Khadgar and Lothar, someone would definitely need to step up and kill Medivh on their behalf... or Sargeras.
However, this is only a judgment made from a rational point of view.
Emotionally speaking, Khadgar personally killed his mentor who treated him well, leaving an indelible memory of regret in Khadgar's heart.
During the years he was trapped in Draenor, in order to force himself to ignore this sad memory that he no longer wanted to recall, Khadgar would pester Adal and ask questions whenever he had time.
On the one hand, Khadgar did it to satisfy his strong thirst for knowledge as a mage who pursues the truth. On the other hand, it was also to divert attention.
As Sharlayan expected, after Khadgar arrived in Dalaran, he did not immediately go to Chancellor Ronin to perform his duties. Instead, he first submitted his invitation to Merry Winterwind, the nominal leader of the new Tirisfal Council. .
As members of the public, Jaina, Ronin and other Kirin Tor councilors witnessed the master-disciple reunion at close range, which could be called a farce.
The development of the situation did not go beyond Jaina's expectations. Medivh, who has been living in Karazhan for many years and is autistic, is not an eloquent person.
There are not many people who are qualified to be his close friends, and the only ones who can fully count are the first-generation Alliance Grand Marshal Anduin Lothar and the former King of Stormwind Kingdom Lian Wrynn.
However, these two old friends of Medivh have already ended their lives, and the original three-person team is technically dead.
Medivh was finally resurrected by virtue of his characteristics as an astral mage and his mother's sacrifice, giving him a second chance to atone for his sins.
Of course, Medivh's resurrection also had the help of Sharlayan behind the scenes.
Without Sharlayan's intervention, Medivh could have been resurrected by Aegwynn, but his existence would have been very unstable.
In the original history, Medivh disappeared after leading the three major forces of the Alliance, Horde, and Night Elves to victory in the Battle of Mount Hyjal.
Many years later, Khadgar discovered the traces of Medivh again in Karazhan's reflection.
Thanks to the help provided by Sarlayan, Medivh in this timeline did not exhaust his remaining protective power after the Battle of Hyjal, and is still alive and kicking.
Under the speechless gazes of Aegwynn and Merry Winterwind, the stupid Medivh competed in the sewers of Dalaran with Khadgar, who also didn't know how to express his inner emotions, on the pretext of testing his apprentice's achievements over the years. There was a big fight on the field.
By the way, many people watched this peak showdown between mortal mages at close range.
All five members of the Kirin Tor Council were present without exception, and even Vargos, who was far away in Lordaeron, rushed over after hearing the news.
Reinforced by a large number of archmage-level arcanists, the arena in the Dalaran sewers was able to withstand the terrifying destructive power produced when the master and disciples fought.
However, according to Jaina, the residents of Dalaran's sewers were quite frightened, and the thieves and warlocks living in the shadows were all in constant fear.
Yes, thieves and warlocks.
Since Dalaran officially prohibits contact with evil energy, the Alliance's warlocks can only hide in the shadows like bugs in the sewers and study secretly.
As for thieves...it's because they like the undisturbed environment of sewers.
Does the Kirin Tor Council know that there are many warlocks conducting forbidden research in the sewers of Dalaran City?
How could you not know that the members of the Kirin Tor Council are all the elites of the elite. They are well aware of all the things happening in the cities they manage, but they just choose to turn a blind eye.
Recently, Jaina is planning to propose a proposal to put the research on evil energy on the table.
Rather than letting those death-seeking spellcasters hide in the dark and fiddle around, it would be better to put them under the official surveillance of Dalaran to conduct controllable research on evil energy.
Having been with Sharlayan for a long time, Jaina was inevitably influenced by some of his ideas.
Sarlayan has always believed that power itself is not good or evil, the key lies in the people who use these powers.
However, it is undeniable that as the main manifestation of power on the chaotic side, evil energy is indeed a very bewitching force.
Among the six original powers of the universe, evil energy is the easiest to achieve quickly, and it is also the easiest to lose control.
Everything in the world has its advantages and disadvantages, and pie will never fall out of the sky for no reason.
After all, there are only a few individuals with abnormal willpower like Yin Lidan. Many mortals who study evil energy may eventually fall into the fate of being bewitched by evil energy and take evil paths.
But because evil energy is difficult to control, is it necessary to completely eliminate all research related to evil energy?
At least in Jaina's opinion, this was a typical case of giving up eating due to choking.
The Burning Legion is Azeroth's biggest enemy on the surface. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
In order to better understand the demons who manipulate fel energy, even if they have the idea of feeding themselves to tigers, Azeroth must have an in-depth understanding of the dangerous power of fel energy. Warlocks will only learn about it during the research process. Just a by-product of birth.
Kirin Tor Chancellor Ronin is not a conservative person, and he also agrees with Jaina's ideas.
Coupled with Khadgar, who is likely to vote in favor, and Aethas, who will definitely stand with Jaina, this rather radical proposal should be passed in Dalaran soon.
All the archmages who watched the master-disciple battle between Khadgar and Medivh benefited a lot.
Although they are both arcane masters who use arcane magic to explore the truth of the world, the inheritance system of Karazhan and Dalaran are actually different from each other. Luo Ning and others gained a lot of inspiration by analogy while watching the battle.
As Aegwynn's registered disciple, Jaina even received her on-site explanations, which also benefited a lot.
Rather than testing Khadgar's cultivation achievements, it is better to say that this is a special ceremony to eliminate the knot between master and disciple.
The final victory in this battle was undoubtedly won by Medivh.
Medivh, who had climbed to higher heights, got rid of the last knot that had troubled him for many years through the "heart-to-heart talk" with Khadgar. After the battle, he performed a wonderful show of epiphany for the archmage present. .
"Oh?" Sarlayan raised his eyebrows with interest: "So, Medivh has become a demigod again?"
"Yes." Jaina nodded and continued to explain: "Medivh has already climbed that peak. Even if he loses the power of guardianship, he will break through much more smoothly than other mages if he returns to the old path."
For example, let's think of the bottleneck that blocks countless mortal heroes as a blocked pipeline.
A pipe that has been dredged once will naturally be easier to penetrate than a pipe dug from scratch.
This principle should have been applied to the former guardian Aegwynn, but compared with Medivh, who is still young and strong, Aegwynn's physical condition is really not optimistic.
Today's Aegwynn is like an old pipe leaking everywhere. Even if there is hope to open up the blocked part, she does not dare to force a breakthrough at the risk of the pipe falling apart.
"Aegwynn..."
Sarlayan touched his chin thoughtfully: "One thing to say, Aegwynn's physical problem is actually not difficult for us to solve now. The problem lies in...she has long been determined to die because she feels that she has sinned deeply. Yes."
