Med'an

(T/N : There seems to be a chapter missing betwwen this one and the last one...)

"The power of the Fire Lord is everywhere. You think this is all there is? No, this is just the tip of the iceberg of our power. Our power is everywhere in Mount Hyjal."

Aiden repeatedly chewed on Thaurissian's last words before his death.

When he returned from Uldum, half a day had passed since Thaurissian's conspiracy to lurk in Mount Hyjal and burn down Nordrassil.

He was reading Nidalee's detailed report on the matter.

This was something that had not happened in history, so he was quite interested.

The Thaurissian of this world had a completely different fate.

He was not killed by the adventurers summoned by Ironforge, but instead replaced the tauren "Fire God" Ordos of future Pandaria and became Ragnaros's chosen one, possessing the power of a demigod.

Because of this, he almost completed his reversal.

If Nall and Nidalee hadn't arrived there just in time, Nordrassil would have been burned down.

Thaurissian's last words before his death attracted his attention.

This passage clearly revealed some information: for example, there are still fire elements and lurking forces of the Twilight's Hammer in Mount Hyjal, and they may be planning or implementing some conspiracy.

Why did Dagran Thaurissan say this?

Either he regained consciousness before his death, or he was completely confused.

Regardless, this news has some value.

Aiden slowly recalled the invasion of the Firelands in the classic plot. He did think of something that could be linked to this sentence—that is, the famous "Betrayal of Archdruid Fandral Staghelm."

According to the chronological order of the classic plot, the follow-up plot after "Wrath of the Lich King" is the Nightmare Invasion, and Fandral completely fell at this time.

Later, his conspiracy was exposed, and Malfurion finally imprisoned him in a den in Moonglade, trying to restore him to consciousness.

The "Nightmare Invasion" is an excessive plot in the game.

After this disaster, it is the "Cataclysm" version: Deathwing crashes into the World Pillar, comes out of Deepholm, and spreads flames, disasters, and fear throughout Azeroth.

The Twilight's Hammer, this cult organization, officially stepped from behind the scenes to the front at this time.

The first major thing they did was to rescue Staghelm, who was imprisoned, and take him to the Firelands to become Ragnaros's new "steward."

And the one who rescued Staghelm was a corrupted green dragon named Alystraz, who had actually secretly defected to the Old Gods long ago.

After she and Staghelm arrived in the Firelands, they respectively received the Fire Lord's gift.

Alystraz transformed from a green dragon into a fire hawk and was renamed Alysrazor, successfully rising from an unknown supporting character to become a BOSS in the Firelands.

Staghelm then transformed from a traditional druid into a corrupted flame druid, and was also the last gatekeeper BOSS leading to Ragnaros's palace.

But in this world, the Nightmare Crisis broke out a year ago, and Aiden had already reminded the night elves of the possible follow-up problems of imprisoning Staghelm, and the green dragon Alystraz had also become a Nightmare minion a year ago.

Although she was not killed, she had already disappeared without a trace.

After the Firelands appeared this time, she directly appeared in the form of a fire hawk, and had no chance to conspire to rebel.

So, who would have the ability to rescue Staghelm?

Another traitor?

If it is an internal traitor, then I am afraid he will not succeed.

Because after receiving Aiden's warning, the den where Fandral was imprisoned was heavily guarded, and all people were forbidden from taking him away by any means.

However, no matter who wants to do this, Aiden feels that this news must be informed to the elves of Mount Hyjal as soon as possible so that they can be more fully prepared.

It's better to be careful.

"Let Ike come to me." Aiden ordered Ophiel.

Before the angel deputy could bring the person over, a faint blue magic circle suddenly lit up in his room, and a strong arcane wave came from there.

Someone was about to "visit" him.

Aiden frowned. Not a few people knew the coordinates of his room.

If the person who came was to assassinate him, I am afraid it would be too confident.

There are not many people in Azeroth who can successfully assassinate him in Los Angeles.

People without hostility would come through the public teleportation array and make an appointment through formal channels, and Aiden would never ignore them.

The act of teleporting directly over by relying on knowing the coordinates is very rude no matter how you think about it.

Unless… the person who came has something extremely important and cannot wait at all.

He had a bad premonition in his heart, and after seeing the person walking out of the teleportation array, that premonition became even stronger.

The people who came were Aegwynn and Meryl Winterstorm, the only remaining Guardians of Tirisfal in this world.

The former had experienced countless things and had long reached the point of being calm and composed, but now she looked so flustered.

Aegwynn trembled as soon as she stepped out of the teleportation gate: "Med'an… Med'an has been taken away!"

—

Med'an is Aegwynn's grandson. Aiden revealed this to her a year ago after the Nightmare War.

At this time, Aegwynn realized the true identity of her old senior Meryl Winterstorm's disciple, and even Meryl Winterstorm himself finally understood the long-standing doubts.

He finally knew why Med'an had so many mixed-race characteristics and showed such almost infinite potential.

This child's father is the last Guardian Medivh, and his mother is the legendary assassin Garona.

And to this day, Medivh still doesn't know that he has such a big son.

Garona herself has the excellent bloodlines of both orcs and draenei.

When she was pregnant, Medivh's body housed the soul of Sargeras, the strongest warrior in the universe.

Therefore, Med'an's birth meant that he was extraordinary.

He has the bloodlines of humans, orcs, and draenei, and may also carry the genes of the bronze titans.

In the myriad universes, he is probably the only one with such a legendary identity.

However, as the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

Med'an's identity destined him to be extraordinary, either saving the world or destroying the world.

Now he doesn't need to save the world temporarily, because Aiden is doing this.

So Aiden couldn't help thinking: The naughty "system" must have arranged for Med'an to destroy the world and create difficulty for him…

Although this is a joke, it is not without reason.

From the perspective of the game, if the game development team spends a lot of effort to create an expansion pack, after launching it, they find that because the players are too strong, the ultimate BOSS set up is only crushed by their current equipment and technology.

Obviously, the difficulty of the BOSSes in this expansion pack envisioned by the development team should be the kind that requires players to spend time, money, and energy, and be ravaged to death by the BOSSes, and sometimes they have to rely on luck to barely defeat them.

But after launching it, they found that the actual raid difficulty became like the random team difficulty, even if half of the people play randomly, they can clear the level.

Then such a design is a great failure for both the development team and the players.

In this case, the game company will definitely strengthen the BOSS through game patches to increase the difficulty of the wasteland reclamation, in order to achieve their original goal—that is, to let players work hard to improve their equipment, prepare all kinds of enhanced enchantments and elixirs, be destroyed to death, and have to rely on good luck to defeat the BOSS.

From the perspective of the game, Med'an being taken away is such a "system patch".

And restoring it to reality is because Med'an's life experience has been revealed, and Aegwynn feels that she owes Aiden a great favor, so she took the initiative to participate in this trip to Wyrmrest Temple to fight against the chromatic dragons, which is a part of expressing her gratitude.

Meryl Winterstorm himself is also a righteous Guardian, so after he learned about the dangers of the chromatic dragons and Deathwing, he also participated in this action.

As soon as they left, Med'an suddenly lacked strong protection—but they were not too worried about his safety, not only because Meryl Winterstorm's hermitage was very secret, and few people in the world knew about it, but also because there were a lot of protective measures there.

Even without these two things, Med'an's own strength should not be underestimated.

It is no exaggeration to say that although Med'an is only in his early twenties, his strength is not inferior to Anna's.

Even though Anna's strength is absolutely top-notch in the entire Dalaran, almost no less than Archmage Antonidas.

Therefore, they are confident that if someone really goes to find Med'an's trouble, I am afraid that Deathwing himself would have to do it to succeed.

And this seemingly joking remark was fulfilled—the one who took Med'an away was Deathwing!

He was severely damaged in the Place of Justice, and the elementium armor on his body was removed by Aiden with the Scepter of Sargeras.

He himself was also seriously injured by the bombardment of the arcane magnetic railgun, so his journey to cause the Scourge was forced to stop after only a short distance, and he finally left in a mess.

However, Deathwing was not willing to fail like this.

Med'an being captured was his counterattack!

And the reason why he was able to find Med'an was because of the help of the Infinite Dragonflight.

Even if Med'an hides deep, as long as he exists in this world, the timeline faithfully records it.

This is exactly why Infinite Dragon Prince Anachronos left Deepholm in the first place.

Under the guidance of the other party, Deathwing came directly to Meryl Winterstorm's hermitage.

Those defensive arrays and concealment spells were useless in front of him, and although Med'an's strength was outstanding at this time, he was still no match for the "Destroyer".

The battle lasted less than a minute, and Med'an failed and was captured.

Aiden followed Aegwynn and the others to the place where the battle took place. Through the retrospective time, he "saw" the complete plot of Med'an being captured by Deathwing here.

This simply made his heart bitter: God knows what Deathwing can accomplish through Med'an?
