American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 603 The Raven's Demonstration

"I'm sorry you came in such a hurry. We need some time to gather the other mages." As he said this, Wang glared fiercely at Rune.

"What's wrong? Is it my fault?"

Wang snorted coldly, "Whose fault is it if not yours? You could have become the Sorcerer Supreme after cleaning up the entire magical world, but look at you now! Going off to another world to flirt with women, and then leaving all the trouble to me—"

Snapped!

The great Sorcerer Supreme snapped his fingers, and exquisite desserts appeared before Jaina and all the mages, eliciting gasps of surprise from them.

Among the races of Azeroth, the high elves are the ones who eat the most refined food, but even these long-eared creatures who never tire of fine food have never seen such exquisite desserts.

Sugar remains a relatively scarce resource in Azeroth, with most production still relying on outdated traditional workshops that have limited output. Furthermore, the recent scourge ravaging some sugar-producing regions in the Eastern Kingdoms has exacerbated the sugar shortage.

Apart from the night elf honey, these mages who followed Jaina to Theramore in such a miserable state—including Jaina herself—hadn't had any sweets for a long time.

This directly led to a mage tremblingly picking up a small cake, putting it in his mouth, chewing it, and then silently bursting into tears.

He cried not only because he had tasted sweetness again, but also because he realized the king's attitude towards sugar, a precious commodity.

The mage who was able to accompany Jaina to negotiate in another world must have had terrifyingly high emotional and intellectual intelligence. So this mage realized that sugar and desserts were things that these otherworldly people could buy at will, but what about his own homeland?

They've probably already started eating the two-legged sheep over there.

The gap between the two sides was so obvious that it brought tears to the eyes of this mage, who was known for his rationality.

The poor Sorcerer Supreme thought he hadn't been hospitable enough and even wanted to open a portal to buy some local specialties from other regions, but Rune guessed what was going on and stopped the king.

However, many mages were happy, including Jaina, because at least they were certain that the allies Rune had found for them were very reliable.

With a casual grab, Rune pulled Goldrin over and then opened a portal right in front of the wolf god.

The God of the Wilds turned to look at Rune, saying nothing, but his meaning was clear. Rune shrugged, "I might be unable to leave for the time being, but I was worried you'd be bored, so I opened a portal for you. On the other side of the portal is the Wolf King I promised you."

"I hope the Wolf King you found satisfies me, Rune." Goldrinn stared at Rune silently for a moment, then walked directly into the portal.

Before the portal closed, Goldrinn heard Rune's whispers.

"Don't worry, you'll love him to death if you can convince that man to accept your power. He's a pretty wild man."

The portal then vanished instantly.

Rune wasn't lying; he was going to spend a long time arguing with the mages.

Rune originally wanted to avoid the negotiation process and wait until both sides had signed the agreement before taking the mages of Azeroth to play in modern society for a while. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to use body-transformation on the high elf mage.

The reason for doing this was twofold: firstly, Rune wanted them to relax.

Jaina is about to strive to unify the human empire. She must defeat the rampaging Scourge, eliminate the corrupted Tide Sages in her country who worship the Old God N'Zoth, deal with the world-destroying technology left behind by the Titans, and even confront the Forsaken who are eyeing her from beyond the multiverse.

In the foreseeable future, Jaina will have almost no time to rest.

As for the second reason, it was also because Rune wanted Jaina and her allies to understand the power dynamics of this universe.

Although the original DC Universe superheroes have not yet made their mark, Iron Man and Spider-Man have already made a name for themselves in areas such as New York, Professor X and Magneto's mutant heroes are also very active, and even the Avengers have been reassembled.

The attempt to avoid negotiation failed.

Rune's reluctance to participate in the negotiations was not due to a lack of interest—at least that wasn't the main reason.

The reason why the king and Jaina wanted him to stay was simple: Rune was too important, and leaning towards either side would inevitably affect the outcome of the negotiations.

In the DC Universe, Rune is a tyrant who purged the entire magical world and forcibly promoted the Kamar-Taj spellcasting system. Although he was not ultimately crowned the Sorcerer Supreme, his influence was considerable.

In Azeroth, Rune is the benefactor of the entire Kalimdor, and Jaina, Thrall, Tyrande, and Malfurion all owe him a debt of gratitude.

Both sides hoped that Rune would side with them, but in reality, Rune's feelings towards both sides were roughly equal, and he couldn't favor either side.

One is a faction in the game, and the other is a faction in the comics. Why should Rune favor one?

With the king's contact with other mages, many mages began to arrive at the Eternal Rock Sanctuary, including prominent mages such as Dr. Fate Inza, Lady of Shangdu, and the Scarlet Witch.

Raven was among the mages who came with Wanda. When she saw Rune, her eyes lit up, and she rushed to him and hugged him. Then her gaze fell on Jaina, who was standing next to Rune.

"Is she a mage from another world?"

Gianna smiled, but she always felt that the pretty little girl in front of her seemed to have some kind of opinion about her.

“Yes,” Rune hugged Raven too, “she’s not just a mage, she’s a princess!”

In fact, that's not all; Jaina will also become the Queen of the Human Empire of Azeroth in the future, if all goes well.

Upon hearing Rune's words, the raven stopped talking and instead snuggled closer to him as if Rune were some kind of doll. Then it turned its head and quietly stuck its tongue out at Jaina.

Jaina suddenly realized why the little girl had a problem with her; it turned out she liked Rune—Rune was indeed handsome and strong, but he wasn't her type.

The elven prince Kael'thas had also pursued her. This prince was equally powerful and handsome, but Jaina no longer had feelings for Kael'thas. What she really wanted to know now was Arthas's whereabouts.

Jaina felt deeply guilty for abandoning the prince.

Rune noticed Raven's little gesture, of course. He patted Raven's head and said softly, "There's nothing between us. This princess already has someone she loves."

Moreover, she is quite loving. If the original plot had continued, she would have had romantic entanglements with elves, humans, orcs, and even blue dragons, but now it's hard to say.
