Chapter 673 Bloody Valentine’s Day (Part 2)

Woo! So cold!

The biting cold wind made Jaina shiver.

Even though she was a mage who specialized in frost magic, she couldn't help but shiver when she suddenly came from the warmth of Karazhan's living room with a burning fire to the cold north.

She was a little underdressed.

"here it is……"

In mid-February, the severe winter has not retreated, and the mountains and trees in the distance are all white.

Except for mountains, there are trees.

For Gianna, who had no experience in surviving in the wild, it was simply a blinding experience.

Jaina was a little confused: where is this?

At this time, Duke's voice sounded in Jaina's ears.

"Ah!" This startled Jaina. At the same time, the sleeveless design of the mooncloth robe also fooled Jaina. She couldn't help but instinctively hug her other arm with the palms of her left and right hands and rub it vigorously.

"This is the northern mountainous area of ​​Tirisfal Glades." Duke's blue and white mage robes rustled in the cold wind.

Tirisfal Glades?

The smart Jaina suddenly thought of something, and her face turned pale in an instant.

"Yes! The first lesson I teach you is 'survival'! How to survive in this world that will soon become extremely bad. The requirements for the first lesson are not high. With your current equipment, you can survive when orcs are infested. Survive in Tirisfal Glades for 24 hours."

What! ?

When Jaina heard this, she was almost aggrieved and almost cried.

Let a little girl like her, who has never lived independently, stay for 24 hours in a dangerous forest where orcs may be present at any time, without winter clothes, food, assistance, or any heating equipment?

Isn't this bullying?

Tears quickly gathered in the corners of Jaina's moving eyes. With that pitiful appearance, for a moment, Duke almost softened his heart.

But the actor is the actor.

Duke pretended to be generous and asked: "Are you afraid?"

"I'm scared!" Gianna looked up suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in her aggrieved eyes: Oh! It turns out that Duke was just trying to scare me!

Duke waved his hand and after a brief spell, an illusory portal as tall as one person opened.

Just as Jaina was about to step in, her body suddenly froze as if she was under a petrification spell.

Jaina would recognize this sight even if she turned into ashes.

Opposite the door is—Kul Tiras!

"As long as you agree to tell His Majesty Proudmoore to give up studying with me, then you can walk through this door, return to your warm home, and be your princess of Kul Tiras." Duke said slowly, but Each word was like a knife, cutting hard into Jaina's heart.

It wasn't like someone close to her had reminded Gianna that Duke didn't want to see her, didn't want to marry her, or even accept her as his disciple.

But the pair of [Smoke Gloves] that even Antonidas envied made the young Jaina forget this in her excitement and ecstasy.

Now it seems that it is true!

Yes, I can indeed go back, but what about after I go back? He came to serve under Duke in the name of apprenticeship, but was driven back because he could not survive the arduous training. Such a shame, it would be strange if the father didn't skin her. Let alone Antonidas, no archmage in Dalaran will accept her as a disciple in the future.

Thinking of this, Jaina's mouth was filled with bitterness.

Does she have a choice?

Jaina bowed with impeccable manners and used the honorific title: "No, Teacher Marcus, I am your student. I came to Karazhan to accept your teachings. If you think that survival in the wild will have an impact on my growth, Very helpful, then I'll accept your trial. It's 24 hours a day, right? I hope, teacher, you can pick me up on time."

"I promise to arrive on time in 24 hours." Duke tilted his chin.

"still have a question."

"You ask."

“What if a danger arises that I can’t handle?”

"Remember your eldest brother Derek's 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony? Your father only gave him a dagger and pushed him into a pool with an adult shark."

Jaina had goosebumps. When she was a child, she grew up hearing about the great achievements of her father and eldest brother. Only when she got older did she realize how dangerous it was.

When facing a shark attack in the sea, the only way to survive is to use a dagger to pierce the nose of the shark at the moment when the shark bites, and then use the dagger to twist the shark's head to get the body out of the bite range of the shark's mouth. Otherwise, as long as he is scratched by the sharp interlocking teeth, the skin will be ripped open on the spot, and it is more likely that the wound will become infected and die.

Jaina was shaking like chaff, but after a few seconds, she finally tried to calm down her trembling and bowed again: "I understand, teacher. Can I ask the last question?"

"Can."

"Did you experience something similar back then?"

"experienced."

"Then I have no problem. I can do what the teacher could do back then." Jaina's blue eyes flashed with determination.

"Very good!" Duke said, and a teleportation disappeared in front of her.

So cold!

Breathing out a breath of white mist, Jaina realized that she had to find some clothes first, otherwise she would freeze to death in less than 1 hour, let alone survive 24 hours.

The only good thing is that she is wearing standard mage cloth shoes today instead of high heels for banquets. At least when facing a bad mountain road, she won't be so desperate that she has to take off her shoes to walk.

In a cave on the mountainside five hundred meters away, looking at the dazed Jaina in the snow, a beautiful elf gathered her golden hair that was blown by the wind. She turned back and smiled: "Duke, you Really cruel.”

"Do you think so too? Alleria."

Alleria smiled: "This is too cruel for a little girl who has just turned 14. Don't you know? Today is her birthday."

puff! Gianna’s birthday is Valentine’s Day? What the hell is this?

Duke really didn't know whether it was like this in the original history, or whether it was because he traveled through time that he became like this. Well, she can hate it if she wants. It's better than following her original trajectory and becoming a 'Yama selling daddy'.

Duke held Alleria in his arms and felt the female elf's body temperature: "Jaina is undoubtedly a real genius. She has the talent to grow into the Archmage of the Sun. But there is no shortage of geniuses in this world, and she can finally rule. The pinnacle is often the only one among ten thousand.”

The female elf's eyes flashed: "Because geniuses die from their own pride and laziness, or do they die from bad luck on the way to growth?"

"right!"

Not right either!

I just don’t want her to become that terrible woman who betrays her father and alliance!

Below, Jaina turned around blankly in the cold wind. Suddenly, she was surprised to find smoke.

The rising smoke can be clearly seen even from several kilometers away.
