Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 204: Kirin Tor Council

When Jack heard Roning mention Veresa, his expression became heavy.

"What? You didn't go to find her?" Luo Ning asked.

Jack shook his head. "You know, I have been wanted for many years and I dare not return to the Eastern Kingdoms. If it weren't for something important this time, I wouldn't dare to risk coming to Dalaran."

Luo Ning asked: "What happened? What made you take such a risk?"

"We found a group of demons," Jack said.

"Demons?" Ronin exclaimed, "Where are they?"

"On an island in the southern Broken Isles." Jack said, "They have dealings with the elves of Suramar. We were fighting with those elves, so we found traces of the demons."

Ronin looked at Jack and said, "You want the Kirin Tor Council to help you destroy those demons?"

Without waiting for Jack to answer, Rhonin continued, "I'm sorry, Jack, you may be disappointed. The Kirin Tor Council is very weak right now. Antonidas will stay in charge of the six-member council and will not leave Dalaran. Krasus is busy with his own affairs, and you know his affairs."

Jack nodded, "What about the remaining four great wizards?"

Rhonin spread his hands. "Prince Kael'thas is pursuing the admiral's daughter, and Kel'Thuzad stays in his mage tower reading books all day. And Drendon and Modera are not in Dalaran at the moment, so if you want to count on the Kirin Tor Council, it's unrealistic."

"Can't Lord Antonidas send some mages?" Jack asked unwillingly.

Rhonin shook his head. "Antonidas is a conservative and does not allow mages to cast spells easily."

There was no other way, so Jack could only say: "But, that island was sunk to the bottom of the sea by Aegwynn before. If the Kirin Tor Council doesn't do anything, then Aegwynn's secret may belong to the devil."

"Aegwynn?" Ronin said immediately, "Jack, I will report this matter to the parliament as soon as possible."

"I hope the council can make a decision quickly, otherwise we will have to face countless demons. The elves in Suramar have a powerful artifact. Once the artifact falls into the hands of the demons, the demons can summon a powerful demon army. By then, we will not be able to defeat the demons at all."

Jack reminded: "Unless, you still have a guardian."

When Ronin heard this, he didn't know whether it was true or not. He knew Jack, and Jack was very strategic, so he didn't rule out the possibility that he was deceiving the Kirin Tor Council. Because if he said this, the Kirin Tor Council would definitely send troops, and send them at the first opportunity.

But no matter whether it was true or not, he had to report it to Antonidas. Because when it came to Aegwynn, there was no such thing as a small matter. As for how to choose, it was up to Antonidas.

Sure enough, Antonidas took this incident very seriously.

"Ronin, bring Jack to see me. If this is true, then I can help him eliminate the wanted list in the human kingdom."

Antonidas knew a lot about Jack's wanted order. The reason was that Baron Barclay of Stormwind was hijacked by the Blackwater Pirates. He robbed the Blackwater Pirates' ship and returned to Stormwind City, and brought back goblin artillery for Stormwind City, allowing Stormwind City to have artillery technology.

King Varian rewarded Barclay and made him a baron. At the same time, because of Baron Barclay's words, he also issued a wanted order. In addition to attacking Jack, he also wanted Rude. But compared to Jack, Rude was just a small figure and no one cared about him at all.

However, the legendary Jack was not like a pirate at all. Saving the Red Dragon Queen was not something a pirate could do.

Furthermore, Jack had a falling out with the goblins, and not only did he fight against a hundred of them alone, he also sank dozens of warships of the Venture Capital Company. Such capabilities are almost comparable to the navy of Kul Tiras.

There are many doubts about Baron Barclay's case, and many people suspect that Baron Barclay is seeking revenge. If Storm Kingdom had Jack, they would have crippled the Blackwater Pirates long ago and ensured the safety of the route.

Ronin hurried to find Jack. When Jack heard that Antonidas wanted to see him, he immediately followed Ronin into Antonidas's mage tower.

Antonidas was a white-bearded wizard who looked a lot like Gandalf. When Jack was looking at Antonidas, Antonidas was also looking at Jack. He was also very curious about Jack. In just a few years, Jack had grown from an unknown person to a legendary pirate. How could he not be curious?
"Good day, Master!"

"Good day, Captain Jack!"

Antonidas knew Jack so well that he even knew that he liked people to call him Captain Jack.

"Ronin has told me everything he told you, and I'm sure he told you what I said. Captain Jack, I want to know all the details. This is related to whether you can trust me."

Jack nodded. "Of course, I will tell you everything I know!"

So, Jack told the whole story. Ronin was stunned. He never expected that the matter would be so complicated, from the blue dragon asking for help, to defeating the withered, to the elf alliance, to asking for help from the bronze dragon, and finally to the alliance between Suramar and the demons. The matter was so complicated that he couldn't make it up.

Although Antonidas was also surprised, he remained calm. Having lived for so many years, he had seen so many things that even the most bizarre things were no longer surprising.

When Jack was halfway through his speech, he was already sure that Jack was telling the truth. Because the real strategy is to lay out the facts so that others have to follow your expectations, which is called an open strategy.

The reason why Jack didn't lie was because he used an open conspiracy. As long as there was information about Aegwynn, there was no need to worry about the Kirin Tor Council not complying.

Antonidas said: "I will submit this matter to the parliament as soon as possible. I believe there will be a result in just a few days."

Jack shrugged. Now all he could do was wait.

After leaving Antonidas's Mage Tower, Ronin said, "Jack, why don't you take advantage of these few days to go meet Vereesa?"

Jack hesitated for a moment, "Where is Vereesa? Silvermoon City?"

"No, she's in Windrunner Tower."

Jack hesitated, "I still have to wait for the results of the parliament's discussion."

Luo Ning insisted, "You should go meet her, or you will regret it."

Jack was puzzled, "Why?"

Luo Ning didn't say it directly, but just said: "You will know when you meet her."

This made Jack feel very strange. After thinking about it, he decided to listen to Roning.

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

After saying that, he took Rude and Mars back to the Black Pearl, bypassed Lordaeron and headed towards Eversong Woods.
