Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Medivh?
When Alaric heard that Aegwynn's child was a daughter, he was taken aback.
This news really caught him off guard.
In the true history, the archmage who inherited his mother's position as Guardian was a bearded man wielding a leg of chicken as a staff, fond of wearing purple robes and transforming into a crow to spread alarming news.
Yet here, it turned into a little girl.
"It's because of Aegwynn and the Council of Tirisfal," Ysera added.
"Perhaps due to Aegwynn's role as Guardian, which completely contradicted their requirements, the Council of Tirisfal held deep doubts about allowing women to become Guardians again.
Some even believed that women are too emotional and might lose control when wielding powers far beyond their abilities.
Therefore, to avoid the council's disdain, Medivh disguised herself as a boy from a young age and was raised as a boy…"
"I see." Alaric nodded and continued to inquire, "So, who do you mean by that 'exceptionally capable father'?"
The things Alexstrasza had said about helping Aegwynn have a child sounded absurd but weren't enough to anger him. So why did they look like they had made a mistake?
He keenly sensed that the issue lay with this father figure.
Sure enough, Alexstrasza's answer didn't disappoint him—or rather, it made him both laugh and cry.
"That… father figure refers to… you…" the red dragon queen stammered.
Yes, the unparalleled "father figure" in the mouths of the three Guardian dragons referred to Alaric himself. In the eyes of the three dragon daughters, their dad was the most outstanding male in the world.
Thus, when considering the father of Aegwynn's child, they immediately thought of him.
Anyway, as his daughters, even though Alaric hadn't left them any legitimate genetic samples, they had still secretly kept some mementos like hair.
"So… Medivh… no, it should be Medivh, is my… daughter?"
Suddenly having this unexpected daughter, Alaric found it hard to adapt.
"No, it's not entirely accurate, since according to our technology, the presence of the father figure is just to ensure the child's genetics are complete, but she shouldn't inherit many of your traits…"
In response to Alaric's question, Alexstrasza replied softly.
As a life-bound oathkeeper possessing the power of life, Alexstrasza was the main person responsible for researching and operating this matter.
Creating a daughter for her own father was such a mischievous operation that they now found amusing upon reflection.
"Really…" Alaric sighed. "But at least she has some connection to me, so I can't ignore her."
"Is something happening to her?" the three mother dragons asked curiously.
Seeing that Alaric didn't pursue the earlier topic, they quickly changed the subject.
"Yes," Alaric said. "You should all know that as long as demons aren't killed in the Twisting Nether, regardless of how they die, their souls will return to the Twisting Nether and be reborn."
All three dragons nodded.
"In terms of mastery over souls, demons do indeed surpass us," Alaric lamented.
"In fact, although you all helped Aegwynn kill the leader of the Burning Legion, Sargeras, he didn't truly die; his soul didn't return to the Twisting Nether but is hidden within Aegwynn."
"What?"
"Impossible!"
"We didn't notice him at all?"
Upon hearing this, the three were taken aback, horrified at the thought that their greatest adversary had been hidden within their friend's body for hundreds of years.
Without needing to think, they knew Sargeras must have his schemes; otherwise, he would have returned to the Twisting Nether to be reborn long ago.
Dying once when his power was at a fraction wouldn't mean much to him.
"So, is Sargeras's soul still within Aegwynn? Now that she has lost most of her magic, we should be able to subdue her quite easily." Talonixa said impatiently.
"No, no need," Alaric shook his head. "There's no real use in subduing her now, as Sargeras has already left her body."
"Then where did he go?" Ysera instinctively asked.
Suddenly, she recalled the question Alaric had posed earlier.
"Could it be that he has hidden within Medivh?"
"You guessed right." Alaric nodded grimly.
Alexstrasza immediately understood.
"No wonder Aegwynn often complained to me that her child's mood swings between being cheerful and gloomy.
She even thought Medivh was suffering from schizophrenia. I told her it might be because Medivh had disguised herself as a boy for so long, leading to excessive repression; it turns out…"
"Exactly. This symptom of schizophrenia is due to Medivh herself and Sargeras's souls taking turns controlling the body.
While Sargeras can't manipulate Aegwynn, who already has a complete personality, his influence over Medivh, having been hidden in her body since birth, is significant," Alaric continued to explain.
"So, what are we waiting for? We must stop Sargeras before he enacts his scheme!" Talonixa said angrily.
"It's too late." Alaric shook his head and then shared the information he had regarding the Dark Portal.
"The demons' minions have invaded Azeroth again?" The three dragon queens were even angrier now, looking at Alaric.
"Speak up, Father. What do you need us to do? Before they establish a foothold in Azeroth, we can definitely drive them back home!" Alexstrasza declared loudly.
"We can even counterattack Draenor and annihilate these scum!" Talonixa's words were filled with killing intent.
Ysera nodded in agreement.
However, upon hearing their willingness to fight, Alaric merely waved his hand.
"No, no need. You dragons don't have to bother yourselves with the orc issue."
He explained carefully: "In fact, the orcs' combat power is trivial for you. The mortal coalition can handle them.
However, considering that there will be greater crises and disasters in the future, it is necessary to use the orcs for a rehearsal.
Only external pressure can wake the races that have been in prolonged peace from their slumber, forcing them to grow enough to protect Azeroth."
"And you," he turned to them, "I will handle the matter regarding Medivh. When the time comes, I'll need you to help deal with Sargeras; just wait for my signal."
"Understood, Father." The three dragons nodded and obediently replied, "We will follow your arrangements."
"Now you're being obedient," Alaric said coldly with a smirk upon hearing their response. "Don't think this lets you off the hook.
My daughter secretly took my hair as a sample to create another daughter? I haven't settled this with you yet."
As Alaric said this, he lunged toward them.
The battle between the dragon knight and the mother dragons was reignited.
This time, it was one against three.
