and insight in a thousand years。 She got to her feet。 Jaina did likewise。 Aegwynn held out her hand。 I accept。
Returning the handshake； Jaina said； Excellent。 Thank you again； Aegwynn。 You won t regret this。
No； but you might。 Aegwynn broke the handshake and sat back down。 Here s my first piece of advice to you as
your chamberlain： Kristoff was right。 Zmodlor was a minor demon。 He didn t have the brains to e up with
something like this。
Jaina frowned。 I thought you said he started the Burning Blade。
Yes； but just as a means to cull souls。 A plan of this plexity is far beyond him。 You yourself said that Zmodlor
wasn t the only demon left behind after the Burning Legion was driven back。
Knowing the answer to the question； Jaina felt the need to hear it from the Guardian s lips noheless。 What is it
you re saying； Aegwynn？
I m saying； Jaina； that this is probably not the last we ve heard from the Burning Blade。
