Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 197 Aegwynn Secrets

Farondis also looked at Jack in astonishment, and the two of them looked at each other in silence.

Many people knew Farodis, and they signaled others not to take action. They stood aside and waited.

After a long silence, Jack asked, "Is it because of this that we have been unable to decipher the runes?"

Farondis nodded, "Helping Ailes did delay the deciphering of the runes."

Jack continued, "What is your purpose? To help Ailes return to Suramar? What good will this do for you?"

"Not much benefit!" Farondis spread his hands, "But the elves of Suramar are also my compatriots. I can't just sit there and watch Elisande drive them out of Suramar and turn it into such a horrible state!"

Farondis pointed at Aeryis and said, "Look at these withered ones. Where is the grace and beauty of the elves? In Faronaar, there are some Faldorei who have turned into spiders in order to survive."

As he spoke, Farondis stretched out his hand and showed everyone the image of the spider elf.

Everyone was shocked as they watched. These guys were not only ugly, but also looked creepy.

This is a total monster!
Farondis said in a deep voice: "This is all Elisande's fault. She must pay the price."

Jack nodded, "But why didn't you just tell me directly? Why did you hide it from me?"

Farondis: "This is an internal matter among our elves. Returning to Suramar is fraught with difficulties, and I don't know how long it will take to prepare. As for you, human life span is limited, there is no need to waste it on this matter."

This reason sounds far-fetched, but Jack believes that this is absolutely what Farondis really means.

However, he still felt insulted. How could the immortal species be so great?

Seeing that both of them had compromised, the Dragon General immediately asked, "What about the withered magician destroying the magic network?"

El'yis said quickly: "The reason why I destroyed the magic network is, firstly, to prevent the withered from getting worse, and secondly, to use arcane energy to create constructs. Elisande and her mages know time spells, which are very deadly to living things. Therefore, using constructs to hold the front will reduce a lot of casualties."

Everyone suddenly realized and understood this decision.

But the Dragon General has a different stance and will never easily forgive the act of destroying the magic network. "This is not a reason for you to destroy the magic network."

Farondis: "It is indeed a mistake to destroy the magic network. The magic network is related to the safety of the entire Broken Isles. So, I will help Ailes repair the magic network and then lead them out of here. After we capture Suramar Command, Ailes and I will guard the magic network for the blue dragon and will not be threatened by others."

The Dragon General looked at Jack, and Jack said, "You need to make your own decision. I won't interfere."

"Okay then!" The dragon general agreed to Farondis' proposal for Jack's sake.

Jack waved his hand and released Ellis.

The matter of the Withered Mage was over, but there was something more important to do next. How could Jack be missing in the attack on Suramar?

He put his arm around Farondis's shoulders and said, "Brother, I will help you attack Suramar. How about giving me half of the spoils of Suramar?"

Farondis rolled his eyes. "I see you're going for the Eye of Aman'thul."

Jack chuckled, not at all embarrassed that his purpose was seen through. "You already have the Tidestone, why do you need the Eye of Aman'thul?" Farondis looked at him. "Do you know why the Broken Isles were able to survive the explosion of the Well of Eternity?"

"You're not saying it's because of these Pillars of Creation?"

"What else?" Farondis said in a deep voice: "The Pillars of Creation have great power. Even if they are broken, they can still stabilize the space. When the Well of Eternity exploded, the five Pillars of Creation generated huge energy and saved a piece of land."

"The Shield of Aggramar protected Stormheim, the Hammer of Khaz'goroth protected Highmountain, and the Tears of Elune protected Val'sharah. These three lands were relatively intact, with only the broken Tidestone and the Eye of Aman'thul, which consumed a lot of energy, protecting parts of Azsuna and Suramar. Half of Suramar sank to the bottom of the sea, and there are many islands around Azsuna."

Jack thought about it and felt that the situation in the Broken Isles seemed similar to what Farondis had said.

"Your words will not deter me from obtaining Aman'Thul."

Farondis glanced at him and said, "If you can't use the Eye of Aman'thul, it will bring you endless troubles..."

"I am happy with it. Can't I just collect it?" Jack said proudly, "As long as I upgrade the Black Pearl, no one will be my opponent on the sea."

Farondis laughed, "Where is the Naglfar?"

Jack's expression froze. The Naglfar was indeed a trouble.

"Where's Hela behind it?"

Embarrassment appeared on Jack's face. He couldn't even deal with the Naglfar, let alone Hela.

Farondis said mockingly: "Azshara and her Naga are also keeping an eye on you. Do you think you can be her opponent?"

"If I can't beat him, can't I just run away?" Jack said guiltily.

Farondis laughed. "Azshara has the Scepter of the Tides in her hand. The Scepter of the Tides is more powerful than the Tidestone in combat. She only needs to create a whirlpool to trap the Black Pearl, and then raise a huge wave to sink the Black Pearl to the bottom of the sea. I hope you can still be stubborn by then."

"I also have the Abyss Crown..."

Jack said unconvincedly: "The Abyss Crown can also control water flow. Even if it is no match for the Tidal Scepter, it should be able to protect itself, right?"

Farondis glanced at him and said, "The Abyss Crown is also an artifact made by Azshara. Don't you know that?"

"what?"

Jack was stunned. "The Abyss Crown is Guardian Aegwynn's artifact. How come it belongs to Azshara?"

Farondis nodded. "It does belong to Aegwynn now, but she stole it from Azshara. More than three hundred years ago, Aegwynn came to the Broken Isles. She raised the former Temple of Elune from the bottom of the sea, which attracted Azshara's attention. Azshara launched an attack on Aegwynn, but was defeated by her. Azshara escaped, but the Abyss Crown was left on the battlefield and was obtained by Aegwynn."

Jack was amazed that Aegwynn had defeated Azshara. He had seen Azshara's power with his own eyes, so how strong would Aegwynn be when she was victorious?

Farondis recalled that war, "Aegwynn is indeed extremely talented. She should be the strongest among all the mages."
