"You said you made a new discovery about the energy of the Whispering Forest?" Arthas became interested. He wanted to hear the results of Kel'Thuzad's research.
"Yes, I found that this area is surrounded by three extremely pure energies: holy light, arcane and shadow. In addition to arcane, I also have some research on the power of shadow."
As soon as Kel'Thuzad talked about his "professional", he immediately became different. He gave a brief summary of his results this time.
"The concentration and purity of the shadow power here are quite high, and it is extremely corrosive. It can even deeply corrode items made of Saronite."
After Arthas heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly. He originally planned to find time to take the death knight to explore the tomb, but after hearing Kel'Thuzad's words, he thought it would be better to give up this plan.
Saronite is the most suitable metal material for death knights that the Scourge Legion can currently find. Basically all high-level Scourge soldiers use equipment and weapons made of saronite.
If the power of Krasis sleeping in the tomb is strong enough to further corrupt the Saronite, then it is difficult to say what will happen.
It is even possible that the corrupted power in Saronite is assimilated and attracted by the power of Krasis. If this flesh and blood beast is awakened, it will undoubtedly add a lot of chaos to Alsace's actions.
The void represented by the shadow is the most crazy and unpredictable thing. Arthas didn't know what would happen if he entered the tomb rashly, but the scene would definitely not be beautiful.
"Moreover, the source of the corruption of the Whispering Forest is very likely related to these shadow energies..."
Kel'Thuzad's eyes were shining with strange light, as if he was ready to say the next words.
But Arthas had noticed the ups and downs of the Lich's mood, and he said calmly, "Don't worry, Arch Lich, I can tell you that now is not the time to trace the source."
Kel'Thuzad was choked back when he was about to say something. He said incomprehensibly, "Why, my lord, this energy can even help us create more powerful weapons..."
Kel'Thuzad stopped himself mid-sentence because he realized that he seemed to be too excited.
"Don't be too impatient, Kel'Thuzad," Arthas said without anger this time. "The body of a lich should make your mind calmer than that of a normal person. You should understand what this energy represents."
Hearing Arthas' words, Kel'Thuzad fell into silence, and Arthas continued, "I don't know if you have read the history books about Thoradin the Great."
"Of course, my Majesty, studying history in my spare time is also one of my hobbies," Kel'Thuzad responded. Then, the great lich seemed to recall something, and he said to himself with some uncertainty. , "But according to the most reliable records..."
"Yes, the place where Emperor Thoradin last disappeared is the mountains and forests to the west of Tirisfal Glades."
Kel'Thuzad's soul fire instantly brightened by three points, and he felt that he was uncovering a very remarkable mystery. "It is said that Emperor Thoradin was very interested in the origin of mankind in his later years, and took his mages on a journey to trace their origins. journey."
Then the place where he disappeared...is indeed the "Whispering Forest" which has been called an ominous place since the beginning of history!
Thinking of this, even Kel'Thuzad, as a lich, could not control his emotions. The disappearance of Emperor Thoradin caused a certain impact on the ancient human empire. This was also the reason why the empire was later divided into seven kingdoms.
However, compared to the legendary deeds of Emperor Thoradin himself, what excites Kel'Thuzad even more is that if the burial place of this ancient emperor can really be found, then the sword that has almost become a symbol of royal power will be revealed. Mka] is very likely to be found together.
This divine sword also has another name - [War Destroyer]. Emperor Thoradin held this ancient weapon, unified the human tribes at that time, and led the human empire to fight against the Amani trolls.
Compared with the power of the weapon itself, its symbolic meaning is more important, because this weapon contains some fragments of the weapons of all human tribal leaders at that time.
At that time, humans still followed extremely ancient traditions. They regarded the weapons passed down by their tribes as the residence of the souls of their ancestors. Melting the fragments of the weapons into Stomka symbolized surrender and unity.
The reforged Stormka shined in the hands of the Great Emperor. The brave and skilled Emperor Arathor killed countless trolls with his divine sword. The origin of the title of "Troll Killer" of Arathor royal family came from this. Divine sword.
After joining forces with the elves, the coalition of human elves completely defeated the empire of the Amani trolls. In order to express their gratitude, the elves invited Thoradin to Quel'Thalas as a guest, and used their magic to grant Stormka again. New power.
From then on, Stromka's sword blade would not be rusted by anything or damaged by any blow. It completed its final transformation and became a true artifact.
It is said that because this sword has harvested the lives of too many trolls, any troll will be frightened and flee in front of it.
Humans also regard Stormka as a symbol of royal power.
When Emperor Thoradin abdicated in his later years, he should have passed this sword on to his heirs, but he believed that the sword's excessive brilliance would weaken the empire's royal power.
So he decided to travel far away with the divine sword to find his ancestors and roots.
At this point, the story about Thoradin ends. No one knows where the emperor went with his famous artifact, and no one knows how the sword and its owner ended. end.
The only historical record that survives is the location where Thoradin was last seen, west of Tirisfal Glades.
If Kel'Thuzad still had a beating heart, he was pretty sure that his heart would be beating wildly right now. Although mages were not all archaeologists, the discovery of a hidden history still related to Emperor Thoradin. The history is enough to make any mage ecstatic.
But then, Kel'Thuzad calmed down. After Thoradin entered the forest, he lost contact with human civilization. There was only one possibility he could think of, and that was that there was a terrible threat lurking here.
The expedition team that followed Thoradin included many powerful mages and adventurers, and Thoradin himself was a battle-experienced warrior holding an artifact.
——But no one survived this "catastrophe".
Thinking of this, Kel'Thuzad finally understood Arthas' caution. He said respectfully, "I understand, Your Majesty. I will not delve into this matter further until those Dreadlords are completely eliminated."
