By the time he becomes chief in the future, he will actually be over sixty years old.

In Azeroth, while Tauren are not considered an immortal species, their lifespan is generally longer than that of humans, typically reaching over a hundred years.

For example, Cairne Bloodhoof, according to Blizzard's official data, was born 79 years before the opening of the Dark Portal, and is now 74 years old. When he died in his duel with Garrosh, he was already 107 years old.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for Chief Kane, who is 74 years old, to have a 30-year-old son.

After the Tauren were subdued by Abidis, Baine Bloodhoof became his follower for a long time, and is now the chief sheriff of Undying City.

Chapter 347 Hu En Highmountain

"It is an honor to meet you, Lord Abidis!" In the reception hall, Tyrande raised his head and greeted Abidis, who was seated on a high seat.

Although it was a greeting, his arrogant attitude was on full display.

In fact, Tyrande is a rather gentle person both within the Night Elf race and in her daily life.

However, as an envoy of the powerful Night Elf Empire, she had the right to be arrogant and it was necessary for her to adopt such a posture. After all, she was now representing not just herself, but the entire Night Elf race.

After all, the Night Elf Empire's strength in this era was unmatched in all of Azeroth except for the dragons—at least before Abidis obtained the Plane Trader.

Therefore, the attitude of a superior nation must be carefully considered.

"I am the one who is honored. To be recognized by the powerful Night Elf race is something that every kingdom longs for!"

As for Tyrande's feigned attitude, Abidis, sitting in his high lord's seat, was cursing under his breath, but smiling on the surface.

These elves, whether purple or white, are all cut from the same cloth.

Since he fully established his formidable team, no one has dared to be so arrogant in front of him for a long time. Even his once proud partners—the Naga tribes in the sea—have become increasingly polite to him.

Not to mention the human kingdoms. Apart from Daelin Proudmoore, who disliked him because of competition in maritime trade, which of the others treated him with great courtesy?

If Terenas hadn't acted first and arranged the marriage between Galis and Abidis, the nobles who wanted to marry their daughters to Abidis would have lined up from the City of Neverland all the way to Mount Hyjal!

However, there are still two forces that remain extremely arrogant.

Those were the night elves before them, as well as the high elves, excluding the Farstrider Legion led by the Windrunner family.

Hmph, I'll tie you all up and give you a good beating sooner or later!

As Abidis pondered this, he looked Tyrande up and down.

When Josie told him about the Night Elves before, she often teased this "Grandma Tyrell" in front of him, so he had long admired her.

After meeting them in person, I felt that apart from their somewhat otherworldly aura, they were nothing special.

In terms of beauty, she's not even as good-looking as the maidservant beside her.

God knows why the legendary demon hunter Illidan was so obsessed with this woman—when Josie told him about the history of the night elves in the past, the one who undoubtedly spent the most time on her was Illidan Stormrage, the most popular night elf.

Hmm... this maid is indeed quite pretty.

While Abidis was observing Tyrande and her maidservants, Tyrande and Maiev, disguised as a maidservant, were also observing this human lord, who was considered legendary even by the night elves.

Their first impression of Abidis was, besides, that he was young.

These two leaders of the night elves have both lived for over ten thousand years, and they are not like the ancient emperors who rarely left the palace. The night elves simply have less interaction with other races, not that they do not interact at all.

Therefore, they have a high level of understanding of the whole of Azeroth and have seen many humans.

But I have never seen anyone so young as Abidis who has wielded such immense power.

He's only 20 years old at most, right? At that age, let alone in the world of night elves who have eternal life, he'd probably still be considered a young man even in the human world.

"Your Excellency Abidis is too modest. With the prosperity of your territory today, even Emperor Thoradin in his prime could not compare!" Tyrande praised.

"Haha, alright, Lord Yufeng, let's skip the pleasantries and get to the point. I'm sure you're here to offer some kind of flattery. You know, I sent quite a few envoys to Ashenvale back then... and it wasn't a pleasant memory!" Although he enjoyed being compared to Thoradin, the first emperor in human history, Abidis, he wasn't so fooled as to forget who he was. He interrupted Tyrande, steer the conversation back to the main topic, and subtly added a sarcastic remark—he had previously sent several delegations to try and cultivate relations with the Night Elves, but they all failed to even enter Ashenvale before being driven back by the guards there.

In other words, the opponent was the powerful Night Elf Empire; if it were a human kingdom, this behavior would have warranted war long ago.

“I am deeply sorry for my subordinates’ rudeness. That’s why I’ve come here today to improve our relationship and establish trade relations!” Tyrande showed a rare hint of apology in response to Abidis’s sarcasm. In fact, she had wanted to meet Abidis’s envoy for a long time. She didn’t necessarily want to establish diplomacy, but she shouldn’t have offended him.

She just didn't manage to defeat Fandral Staghelm.

During the War of the Ancients, Malfurion's pact with the dragons and the planting of Nordrassil, which granted the night elves immortality, gave the Cenarion Circle, led by the druids, the greatest power over the night elves.

In addition to Fandral Staghelm's achievements in the War of the Shifting Sands, even though Malfurion is in a deep sleep, Tyrande still has less influence within the tribe than Staghelm.

Moreover, due to her personality, Tyrande tends to compromise on many things that are not particularly important.

Although the actual responsibility should lie with Staghelm, Tyrande did not shirk it in front of outsiders, but rather took it honestly.

“However… when we arrived, we saw that Your Majesty’s army was preparing for battle. We don’t know…” Tyrande had just finished apologizing when she abruptly changed the subject to Abidis’s fleet that was about to set sail.

Although they already knew Abidis's purpose through their own intelligence agencies, this was clearly something that couldn't be discussed openly, so they had to find a pretext to start the conversation.

“Oh, you mean the fleet that’s about to set sail? You don’t need to worry. I’ve always been a peace lover and I don’t start wars casually. I certainly don’t have any ill intentions toward the peace-loving Night Elves! In fact, my destination this time is a place that you are very familiar with: the Broken Isles!” Abidis explained calmly.

"...The Broken Isles? By the Moon Goddess, do you know what that place is?" Upon hearing Abidis's answer, Tyrande's expression changed drastically, and she questioned him.

The naturalness of his facial expression changes made Maiev's eyebrows twitch.

That's such a convincing performance... They clearly knew all along, but they still pretended to be incredibly surprised.

“Of course I am aware of this, but you need not misunderstand me. My purpose in coming here is simply to help my men find their relatives. I have no other plans!” Abidis was prepared for Tyrande’s question and answered calmly, pointing to Baine Bloodhoof, who had a simple and honest look on his face.

"Looking for relatives?" Tyrande looked at Bain with a puzzled expression; now it was her turn to be confused.

"Lord Tyrande is a hero who experienced the ancient war, and you must have heard of Huon Highmountain, a hero from the ancient era!" Abidis said slowly.

Chapter 348 Ancient One Takes Action

Just as Abidis was trying to persuade Tyrande, Josie arrived at Kamar-Taj in the Marvel Universe.

"What? You want me to go to another universe?" Gu Yi, who had just poured Josie a cup of tea, was quite surprised when she heard his purpose.

“That’s right, this matter is quite troublesome. Although I have a lot of people under me, apart from a few, there aren’t many who are truly capable! So…” Josie nodded in confirmation.

“Josie, you may not know this, but the Sorcerers Supreme of the various universes and eras in the multiverse have an agreement... We cannot participate in any conflicts between planes, otherwise we will become the target of the Sorcerers Supreme of the other universes!” Ancient One sighed and said.

Without a doubt, if we're talking about who was the first in the world to know that Josie could communicate with other worlds, it would definitely be the Ancient One.

This is also why the Ancient One has always supported Josie in almost every way.

Because everything Josie did, although essentially for his own benefit, was also extremely beneficial to the universe he lived in. Although the various multiverses may seem unrelated under normal circumstances, the struggle between them has always existed.

After all, the origin of each universe is finite. If one universe receives more, it will become more powerful in all aspects, while the other universe will become smaller and weaker.

Normally, most universes have their own guardians. Notable examples include the Sorcerer Supreme and the Celestials in each universe—the latter being quite different from the comic book universe in Josie's MUC setting.

Therefore, excessively serious conflicts among different groups are prohibited by these guardians, and there is a certain tacit understanding and agreement among these guardians.

After all, at their level, if they were to interfere with the conflicts between the multiverses, it could lead to the annihilation of countless universes, and the remaining universes would suffer immense destruction. With the addition of demons from other dimensions, it would be an absolutely terrifying catastrophe.

Only a few individuals, such as Miss America or observers who do not interfere with the operation of the physical universe, are able to travel between different universes and engage in "smuggling" activities without attracting the attention of the guardians of each universe.

“Your Excellency Gu Yi, you misunderstand. In fact, the world I asked you to go to this time is definitely not within the scope of the multiverse as you know it. Although that universe also has powerful beings like the Celestials and supreme beings like yourself, it is a completely different matter. There is no Earth in that universe, so you don’t need to worry about breaking your agreement with the supreme beings of other universes…” Then, Josie told Gu Yi everything about Azeroth in detail, without daring to be negligent in the slightest.

It wasn't that she was afraid the Ancient One would discover she was lying, but rather that the Azeroth universe was indeed too dangerous, and its power system was vastly different from the Marvel universe. Therefore, even for an existence of the Ancient One's caliber, Josie wasn't certain she could escape unscathed.

Josie didn't want to lose her boss and all the benefits from Azeroth, so she explained things in as much detail as possible.

From the various races of Azeroth to Draenor.

From the Naaru to the Pantheon and the Burning Legion.

From the ancient gods to the Void army.

From Elune to the Shadowlands.

He dared not be negligent in any of the information he knew about the Warcraft universe.

"I see, what an interesting universe..." After listening to Josie's explanation, the Ancient One nodded in amazement.

Although she has always valued Josie's importance to the universe, she has to admit that Josie has given her an even bigger and more important surprise.

A universe that is completely separate from the multiverse and much more distant?

Moreover, it possesses numerous gods and demons!

This was indeed very much to her liking.

Even better, Josie also possessed extremely precise and detailed information about that universe.

Although the history of Azeroth had already been greatly altered by Abidis's actions because of Josie, many details were still very important to the Ancient One.

For example, those ancient gods, according to Josie's description, were very powerful, but compared to a dark dimensional demon like Dormammu, they were clearly not on the same level. Moreover, they were basically all imprisoned in the so-called Titan prison, with only some of their power leaking out.

For the Ancient One, what difference was there between her and those unfortunate souls who were suppressed by Josie on the Atlantic islands?

He was worried that he would be able to borrow more and more power, and that in a few decades he would have to seek eternal refuge. Wasn't this a great opportunity?

If she could absorb the power of those ancient gods, she could probably last another hundred or two hundred years.

Although the original storyline states that the Ancient One died because she was tired, the large amount of debt that came due also played a significant role in the death.

Some dimensional demons from chaotic factions, like Dormammu, were easily dealt with by the Ancient One, but some people, or rather, gods, are not so easy to forgive, such as the Vishanti, their former masters.

We can't keep defaulting on these debts, so what should we do?

Then the only option is to run away, to sell oneself to the largest creditor, Yongheng. Would any of the other smaller creditors dare to go to Yongheng to collect their debts?

But if there were other energy sources to fill some of the hole, Gu Yi felt that she might be able to stay carefree for a while longer.
