Chapter 1093: Gianna's Pact with Elunis
While the rest of the family was busy with their own responsibilities, Gianna was the only one who stayed in retreat, trying to break through the last hurdle that stuck her in the path of becoming an advanced archmage.
In the big family centered on Sarjan, according to the standards of the High Elves, in addition to the two ancient dragons Yinas and Onexia, who are "comparatively" older, even Sarjan's father Julian is still at the peak of his prime.
Not to mention the younger generation of Sallian and Valeera, who have not even lived through the first hundred years of the High Elves, proper young people.
The two sisters, Stella Gossa and Tina Gossa of the Dragon Clan, are also in their early 100s, and they are still in a young age where they can still make rapid progress.
Even in this young and energetic family, Gianna is undoubtedly the youngest.
Gianna still remembers being held high by Sarean and Valilla as a child, and since then, the little Gianna has become the undisputed darling of the family.
As the years passed, these precious memories would remain in Gianna's heart forever.
However, as time went on and her own growth, Gianna's anxiety grew day by day.
As we all know, the High Elves are a very long-lived race, and as long as they don't suffer accidental death, their natural lifespan can usually reach about 3,000 years.
As a High Elf, Salian also possesses the purest dragon bloodline, and his lifespan is as endless as that of the dragons.
In contrast, Gianna, who is a human, only has a lifespan of 100 years, and even if you count the Arcanist's life extension methods, it will not exceed 200 years at most.
The most typical example is one of Gianna's mentors, the former Kenrito Speaker Antonidas.
Antonidas, who retired from his duties, is already over 170 years old, which is definitely a long life expectancy among the short-lived race of humans.
However, Gianna is not satisfied with a mere 200 years of life, and she wants to be with her family such as Sarren, Valeera, and Stella Gossa for a longer time.
According to the prediction of the Red Dragon Queen Alekstasa, it is theorized that when Sarren breaks through to become a demigod, he will have the ability to bestow his life force essence on others and extend their lifespan.
But doing so would undoubtedly deplete the vitality of Sarjan himself.
Valera, Gianna and the others had secretly discussed it for a long time, and reached a tacit agreement.
Unless their lifespan is about to reach the limits of nature, this last resort must not be used.
A philosophical sentence that Sarian had said before was very much in line with the mood of Gianna and the others.
Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement.
Instead of putting the hope of prolonging life on a partner who is already busy with everything, it is better to find a way to break through the limits of mortals and truly live with heaven and earth.
To this day, the most advanced Sarena and Stella Gossa, who are one step ahead, are stuck at the pinnacle of mortals, and they can officially step into the realm of demigods after an epiphany.
No one knows how long it will take to wait for this epiphany opportunity, and no dragon has ever chosen to break through in this way, one step at a time.
As a transcendent race blessed by the Titans, once the dragons reach adulthood, their strength will automatically be promoted to the realm of demigods.
This way of pulling out seedlings to help them grow will have a certain impact on the further growth of the dragon clan in the future, and limit the upper limit of the dragon clan to a certain extent.
At least so far, none of the dragons, including the five guardian dragons, have been able to break through the limitations of demigods and reach the realm of true gods.
When Alekstaza learns that Stella Goussa intends to break through this simpler, but more promising route, she already knows the limits of her own growth, and she encourages Little Star with great anticipation.
The four guardian dragons all expected her to become the first pure-blooded dragon to advance to the true god by discovering their own potential.
After Sarren and Stella Gosa, Valera is not much behind, and she should be able to reach the top of mortals in the next 1-2 years.
Compared to her older siblings in the family, Gianna doesn't think she's progressing fast enough, and she wants to catch up with the others as soon as possible.
…… Although from an objective point of view, Gianna's growth rate has left behind 99.9% of Azeroth, she is still not satisfied with this.
Breaking through to become an archmage was Gianna's first milestone for herself.
Only by advancing to the Legendary and becoming an archmage can Gianna truly inherit the political "legacy" left by her mentor Antonidas and provide greater help to Sarren.
In order to help Gianna take this step, Stellagosa made a special trip back to the Nexus not long ago.
With the consent of the Blue Dragon King Malygos, Stellagossa retrieved a long-sealed artifact, the Staff of Elunis, from the Blue Dragon Treasury of the Nexus.
The Staff of Elunis is an artifact staff handcrafted by the former Guardian of Tirisfa, Egwen, which contains an arcane entity named Elunis.
Elunis is self-aware, accustomed to being free, and resentful of being confined to a staff.
Since the artifact staff was crafted, Egwene has spent hundreds of years trying to tame Elunis for his own use, but has never been able to do it all.
After the battle between the two generations of Guardians more than a decade ago, the defeated Egwene was banished from Karazhan and soon heard the news of Medivan's death.
Frustrated, Egwene entrusted the Blue Dragons to seal up the staff of Elunis, and went to the Kalimdor continent alone to live in seclusion, never asking about the world again, only wanting to resurrect Medivan, whose soul had entered the astral plane.
In order to save his only son, Egwene used the last bit of guardian power to keep his youth alive.
Although Egwene still looks young and beautiful on the outside, those who know the inside know that this is just an illusion she released on herself.
Egwen's body and mind are old, and he no longer has the unruly spirit he had when he was young.
Had it not been for Sarjan's painstaking persuasion to continue working for Azeroth, Egwene had planned to spend the last few years of her life peacefully in the Dust Swamp.
Egwene was no longer able to go into battle, and she had no intention of taking out the staff of Elunis that she had given to the blue dragon for safekeeping.
Salaan had consulted Egwene on her previous trip to Dalaran, and she readily agreed to pass on the Staff of Elunis to her named apprentice, Gianna.
Sand withering netizens in another world have said a very reasonable saying, called same-sex repulsion.
Egwen, who has a tough personality, and Elunis, who also has a stubborn donkey temper, can't conquer anyone, which has led to their failure to achieve a true perfect match for hundreds of years.
Compared to Egwen, Gianna has a relatively soft personality, and Sarjan thinks that she may have a chance to reach a cooperation agreement with Elunis, so that Elunis can offer all kinds of help in any way she can.
Before being captured by Egwene, Elunis traveled freely between the astral planes, and then followed Egwene to acquire a great deal of knowledge and experience.
No kidding, if she can get Elunis's approval and help, Gianna will have a knowledgeable advisor who can help her solve many doubts that are difficult for her to solve on her own.
When Stellagosa returned from the Castle and handed Elunis over to Gianna, the freedom-hungry arcane entity did not get along well with Gianna at first, believing that this was another so-called "master" who wanted to forcibly conquer him.
But instead of using Egwene's tough methods, Gianna softened Elunis little by little with a gentle and gentle attitude.
After some run-in and bargaining, Gianna and Elunis made three chapters.
As long as Elunis serves her wholeheartedly for 100 years, she will set Elunis free as she wishes.
At this point, for at least the next 100 years, Gianna will be able to get Unis' unreserved help.
As a former partner with whom Egwene fell in love and killed, Elunis knew the ways of the Arcanists far beyond the young Gianna.
Under Elunis's guidance and guidance, Gianna, who has been in low-key retreat recently, finally seized the opportunity to break through before Salaan and his party left for Kalimdor.
When Sarren and Stellagosa put aside their work for a while and hurried back to the door of the Deep Shadow Mansion in Silvermoon City, the Sun King Kael'thas and the Royal Arcane Guild President Roman had already rushed over first.
In addition to these two elders, there are also many High Elf archmages who know from Sarjan standing outside the Deep Shadow Mansion that has been under martial law by the law breakers.
Obviously, these archmages also felt the tide of mana triggered by Gianna's breakthrough.
After noticing the arrival of Saljan and Stellagosa, Kael'thas smiled and nodded to them.
"I didn't expect that." Kael'thas said with some emotion: "I originally predicted that Gianna would take another 2-3 years to advance to the legend, and this kid has once again refreshed my inherent understanding. ”
According to the barrage, Kael'thas in the original history was very infatuated with the adult Gianna, and often quarreled with Alsace in Dalaran.
In this timeline, Kael'thas became Gianna's mentor when she was still a child, and Kael'thas didn't think about it at all.
While teaching Gianna in her early years, Kael'thas saw that her apprentice had expectations for her "Brother Sarean" that went beyond sibling affection.
In order to further close the relationship with Sarjan, Kael'thas is also happy to see this, and even promotes it behind the scenes.
Legend has it that when Sarren and Gianna finally achieved the right result, Kael'thas invited Velles to join him in the court of the Sunseeker to celebrate.
"It's time."
Seeing the chaotic arcane tide around the Deep Shadow Mansion gradually become condensed and controllable, Kael'thas clasped his hands in front of his chest, waiting expectantly for the moment when the final result would be revealed.
"Boom~"
As Gianna withdrew her unconsciously spilling arcane power, the sky above Silvermoon City briefly exploded with a thunderous roar.
No matter what the residents of Silvermoon City were doing at this moment, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction where the roar came from.
"At this juncture, has the kingdom finally given birth to a new archmage?"
"Yay!"
"Long live Quel'Salas!"
