In the past few days, the words Arthas heard Kael'thas say the most were "What?", "Why is this happening?", "No, it can't be done.", "How did they think of it?"
It seems that His Highness Prince Kael'thas, who has always been smooth sailing in magic, has also encountered the most difficult problem in his life.
"Kyle, how much longer do you need? We can't stay in the forest for too long - of course, if you think the mushroom soup tastes good, we can stay longer." Arthas tasted Ferras The specialty mushroom soup, well, the taste is okay, but you will get tired of it after eating it for a long time.
Kael'thas rolled his eyes, "It's not like we only have mushrooms to eat, but to be honest, the magic seal on that door is indeed very old. It will take some time to completely crack it."
"What are the consequences of forcing the opening?"
Arthas' question made Kael'thas just shake his head, "I don't know, I don't know at all. The magic spells they used are the ones that have been lost long ago. No one knows what the consequences will be if they forcefully break it. Maybe there will be nothing." It will happen, maybe it will be an earth-shattering explosion.”
At this point, Kael'thas asked back, "Do you think...the upper elves would associate the magic spells used to guard their own doors with powerful magic reactions?"
Most areas of Elrethalas have been abandoned, and the original city walls are now obscured by vines and trees. The traces of magic on them have long since dissipated with the passage of time. If the terrain was not too complex, coupled with vegetation and rocks, To block, it may be a better choice to let the mage lead the camp and fly up the city wall.
It's just that right now, Kael'thas and his mages are definitely in conflict with this magical door. If they don't find a suitable way to "unlock", they will never violently break in.
Even if you want to break the door violently, you still have to consider the risks if the magic door lock is broken.
In any case, even the best-case scenario will send a bad signal to the "residents" of Elre'Thalas, which will not only cause panic and distrust among the upper elves, but also lead to the collapse of Elre'Thalas. A large number of chaotic fallen creatures pose a threat to the expedition team.
Arthas looked at the towering elven city walls and gates, mentally calculating the time it would take to initially explore Elrethalas, and how far they would explore.
Although the Burning Legion has been defeated now, it does not mean that the Alliance can develop with peace of mind in the short term. There are still many threats in the Eastern Kingdom that have not been eliminated.
Not to mention the forest trolls on the border of Quel'Thalas. The last war means that they will not be dispatched again in the short term. But looking to the south, there are still terrible enemies dividing the Eastern Kingdom into two parts: north and south. .
There are still extremely powerful opponents lurking on the Burning Steppes. Although Nefarian's sister Onyxia has been controlled by Arthas, Ragnaros, the Lord of Fire, has not been hit.
If he wants to develop the entire Eastern Kingdom into a monolith, he must kill all the enemies in Blackstone Mountain. Otherwise, Arthas does not want to burn the plains. Stormwind City in the south and Ironforge in the north are always being watched by the black dragon and the elemental lords.
Moreover, if the power of the Black Dragon Legion is not reduced at this time, and the remaining problems of the Black Dragon Legion are dealt with until Neltharion returns, the difficulty and risk will increase exponentially.
The Black Dragon Legion with Neltharion's presence is a completely different level of opponent, and if Neltharion returns to the Black Dragon Legion, the possibility of conducting experiments to remove the corrupted influence from the Black Dragon's bloodline will be much lower.
Neltharion and the Old God who controls him will not allow anyone to seize control of the Black Dragon Legion, even if it is just an attempt, not to mention that Arthas really has the possibility to completely eliminate the corruption in the Black Dragon bloodline.
The Ancient Gods have been planning for their resurrection for tens of thousands of years. As one of the most powerful forces they currently control, the Black Dragon Legion will not give up until the critical moment.
The time left for them to explore Ere'Thalas will not be very long. It is best for them to obtain the maximum benefit in the shortest time, because Arthas plans to launch an operation against Blackstone Mountain after he returns home.
Because after removing the forces of the Black Dragon Legion and the Fire Lord, the biggest threat in the short term is still hidden in Kalimdor.
While entering Feralas, Arthas was also observing whether there were signs of invasion by the alien insects. Fortunately, he had not found any disgusting alien insect nests here, indicating that the tentacles of the Old Gods had not yet broken through to Ahn'Qiraj in the south. gate.
Arthas had goosebumps all over his body when he thought about the eye of the gods hidden behind that black holy city, eyeing Azeroth.
After becoming the Lich King, his sharply increased perception ability allowed him to detect things that he could not detect before. For example, he could easily sense that there were four difficult objects buried deep in the ground of Azeroth. The darkness of speech.
The creeping darkness seems to have its own consciousness. Even if the Lich King's cold will looks at them, they will climb over without any scruples and try to pollute everything about the Lich King.
Fortunately, Arthas was not afraid of this simple pollution. Even when he looked directly at the essence of the ancient god, he did not lose his mind, but he still felt some primitive, dark and crazy thoughts swelling in his heart. .
They are ancient gods no less than the Burning Legion, flesh and blood monsters who incorporate everything into themselves. Their existence is almost as old as Azeroth itself. The basic self-will was born on this planet, and they have the potential to become Titan souls. When it was full of potential, the cold eyes in the void were fixed on Azeroth.
Facing them, any life will feel insignificant. To defeat them, the residents of Azeroth must do everything possible to arm themselves. Exploring and restoring the ancient flourishing magical civilization is exactly what Arthas is exploring on this road. first step.
Finally, after a week-long wait, the high elven mages finally figured out the way to the ancient magic. They successfully restored and cracked the first obstacle left by the high elves.
At the same time as the magic door opened, in the inner city of Elrethalas, a large group of blind, confused, or fanatical elves in the library raised their heads in unison, turning their eyes from the endless magic. Move away from the books.
"The seal has been lifted?"
"Is it an intruder?"
"Did the devil discover us?"
"How many years has it been?"
Noisy conversations resounded in this strange, originally silent library, until a low, hoarse voice appeared, and everyone fell silent again.
"Quiet and continue with your business."
