Naxxramas was a floating fortress that the Scourge attempted to build after seizing the knowledge and skills of Azjol-Nerub.
Before Kel'Thuzad was killed by Arthas, he was sent by the Lich King Ner'zhul to spread the plague in Lordaeron, and Kel'Thuzad's vehicle was this floating fortress.
And because Naxxramas is the first floating fortress put into use by the Scourge, and it also shoulders the important task of subverting Lordaeron, it carries a large number of magic props, forbidden knowledge, and precious instruments.
Channeling and death spells also belong to the school of magic, so if you want to go far enough on this path, research and experimentation are necessary.
So in order to attract more people to join the Scourge, Ner'zhul accepted part of the Burning Legion and created many expensive experimental instruments.
The plague of the undead originated from these inconspicuous bottles and jars - these terrible viruses cultivated by magic can even corrode the minds of the dead. Arthas is well aware of their threat and importance.
The moment he replaced Ner'zhul and became the new Lich King, he used the power of his soul to explore the location of Naxxramas. Strangely, no undead in Naxxramas responded to his call. .
This made Arthas understand that there must be something wrong with Naxxramas, otherwise there would be no undead that could respond to his call in such a huge floating fortress.
Therefore, resurrecting Kel'Thuzad was Arthas' idea from the beginning. He thought that the necromancer who once controlled Naxxramas should have a special method to detect the location of Naxxramas.
As expected, Kel'Thuzad had a unique way of sensing Naxxramas, but what made Arthas a little disappointed was that even the archlich couldn't get an accurate location.
The sea north of Quel'Thalas?
This area is too vast, and there is no way to send people to search for it.
"The loss of contact with Naxxramas must be related to those fear demons," Kel'Thuzad's hoarse voice sounded. "These demons also joined the construction of the floating fortress. It is very likely that they have some backdoors."
"Now that we know that the Scourge exists and have reasons to oppose us, the only ones are the Dread Lords."
Kel'Thuzad leaned slightly and saluted Arthas, "Your Majesty, I may be able to help you solve this problem."
"You'd better tell me what you think first."
The Archlich nodded and replied respectfully: "The energy of Naxxramas is not infinite. When the remaining energy cannot continue to support the flight of the fortress, the Dread Lord will have to make an emergency landing on Naxxramas." Somewhere.”
"We have no way of knowing where the Dreadlord will choose to land, but... we can lure him to land somewhere."
Kel'Thuzad casually imprisoned a lost soul. This soul had lost its self-awareness over a long period of time. The archlich's skeletal palms were tightly grasped, and the soul was gathered into crystal clear crystals in the cold air. .
"The power source of Naxxramas is the soul. If the Dread Lord wants to maintain control of Naxxramas instead of escaping alone, he will definitely find a place to replenish his power."
soul?
Kel'Thuzad's words inspired Arthas: The most numerous souls on Icecrown are the souls attracted by the entrance to the Shadow Realm, and most of these ghosts have lost themselves in the material world.
Their consciousness has long since dissipated, leaving only the form of condensed soul energy wandering in the material world.
Maybe he could find a way to capture some of these souls and make them appear to be gathered in one place.
In this case, those who are eager to replenish power for Naxxramas will definitely find this place. By then, Arthas will know who is driving the current floating city.
If it is really the Dread Lord... maybe he can get a lot of information he wants from it.
…
Just when Arthas was looking for clues about the Dread Lord, in an ancient ruins in Kalimdor, an orc with strange green eyes was walking through the broken buildings holding a torch.
Suddenly, the orc stopped, he frowned, held on to a broken stone pillar, and whispered.
"I heard it, Diselok! You stay in Naxxramas and don't let that fortress fall into the hands of the current Lich King!"
"That's enough. Don't you think Mal'Ganis' death was not tragic enough? Sneaking into Dalaran in its full glory will undoubtedly give those human mages a chance to catch us."
The orc's neck twisted for a moment and quickly returned to its original shape, but the strange changes in his body clearly showed that he was no longer a living person, but a controlled puppet.
His voice was a bit sulky, and it sounded like he was in a very unhappy mood, "Do you think my job here is easy? This is the territory of those damn Kaldorei. Before the legion came, just by relying on It’s impossible for a few of us to conquer this planet.”
After saying that, the orc cut off contact with several other fear lords, but he still did not remove his disguise: now he is acting alone, hoping to find something useful in the ruins of the ancient elven empire.
The new Lich King was so weird that he quietly killed Mal'Ganis and Ner'zhul before the other Dread Lords could react.
Mal'Ganis has been missing for a long time. Several other Dread Lords originally thought that he was faking his death and wanted to have some fun on Azeroth, but now it seems... he is most likely to be really killed. Sent back to the Twisting Nether.
Of course, there is a worse guess, but Diselok confirmed that Mal'Ganis was "killed" by Frostmourne, and Mal'Ganis should never have his soul bound by that magic sword.
There is a long-standing rule among Nathrezim: Dreadlords cannot harm each other, including the weapons and props they make, nor can they cause harm to other Dreadlords.
This half-curse and half-rule spell will wrap around every Nathrezim. Frostmourne is a magic sword forged by Nasrezim and Kil'jaeden. It stands to reason that this sword is absolutely It cannot be used to kill the Dreadlord...
Unless...the curse on the sword is erased.
Almost all the Dread Lords have not thought in this direction, because for countless thousands of years, no one has been able to break this iron law. However, they did not know, and could not have guessed, that the power that Arthas could summon reached the universe. origin.
But all in all, the disappearance of Mal'Ganis still made the Dread Lords extremely cautious. They decisively gave up on the Scourge and prepared to find another way to summon the Legion to come.
When that time comes, it won’t be too late to settle accounts with Alsace...
