"who?"
Several members of the exploration team immediately clenched their weapons and turned around to be on guard. Arthas also frowned and looked at the white-haired old man standing at the edge of the forest. ,
The paladins could easily feel that the old man's body was entangled with several energies of contradictory nature, especially the weird void energy that almost completely eroded the old man's body.
The average person would have died long ago, and it is not known how he survived such erosion.
However, the knights of the Silver Hand and the two dwarves from Ironforge, who had experienced many battles, did not relax their vigilance at all. The strange phenomena on the other party made them focus on guarding against possible threats.
And Jaina has also prepared several magic spells without leaving any trace. If there is a conflict, her magic support can arrive immediately.
Jaina has also grown a lot after experiencing the war with the Burning Legion. She is also able to use magic more skillfully, much better than the previous student in the ivory tower.
Arthas was not particularly vigilant. He could see that the man in front of him was not an illusion, nor had he been corrupted. However, the energy remaining in his body did affect his body functions.
"You don't need to be so guarded against me, an old man," the old man said with a smile, leaning on a cane, "I can see that you are not ordinary people, but the danger here does not change based on your strength, it will invade your soul. , reaching directly into your mind and assimilating you into the same existence as them."
"Old sir, since you said so, shouldn't you first consider whether your appearance is reasonable?"
Jaina, who was next to Alsace, spoke first before Alsace, and pointed out the flaws in the other person's words straight to the point.
The old man was obviously stunned by Gianna's words. Maybe he hadn't talked to outsiders for a long time. He thought for a while and then continued, "I...I am a gravekeeper. You can call me Gerald."
After finishing speaking, the old man named Gerald stopped saying more about his identity. He waved to Alsace and the others and walked into the forest on crutches. "You'd better leave quickly. Apart from the curse, Outside, there is nothing left.”
"Did Emperor Thoradin also die from this curse?"
Alsace's question caused the old man to stop. He turned to look at the young prince, "He is also one of the victims of this curse. If you want to find his burial place, there is nowhere to go." Can’t be found.”
After saying that, the old man quickened his pace and left quickly, as if he was afraid that Alsace would ask any other questions.
"What a strange guy." Seeing the old man leaving, Muradin put the battle ax on his shoulder and muttered, "But how can there be a tomb guard in this deep mountain and old forest?"
"If this old man named Gerald is not an illusion created by the corrupted energy here that affects our minds, then he is probably not alone." Uther judged that such a twilight old man would want to be in such a place. Living alone in a strange area is too weird.
"Tyr Guards... Uther, do you remember the organization that Bishop Faol mentioned?" Dathrohan remembered the content of the conversation between him and Uther when they were talking about such a thing. organization.
"Of course I remember, but we can't connect him with the Tyrian Guards so hastily. Tirion, Dathrohan, come with me. That Gerald left in a hurry. Maybe we can find no clues. must."
The three of them entered the forest together, ready to see if there were any valuable clues left behind.
Alsace stood by the lake and did not move. However, he was actually looking for the exact location of Tyr's Tomb. The lake in the Whispering Forest was quite small. At least, it was difficult for everyone to see it at a glance. The end.
In other words, the lake on the top of this mountain at least ends at the junction of the mountains and forests on the opposite side.
The current Tomb of Tyr has not been damaged by the fanatical Twilight cultists, and even Arthas cannot easily find the hidden tomb.
And the old man named Gerald left like this, which shows that he is very confident that everyone here cannot find the real tombs of Tyr and Thoradin, and they will definitely return in vain.
Indeed, looking around, the view around the lake was extremely wide, but everyone could only see the mediocre lake and the surrounding dense forest, and did not see any other suspicious locations.
"What should we do now?" Magni patted Alsace and asked in a low voice, "Didn't Azadas tell you the location of Tyr's Tomb?"
"He only said that in Tirisfal Glades, after so many years of changes, I am afraid that no one except the Tyrian Guards knows the exact location." Arthas shook his head.
In addition to being the resting place of the guardian Tyr, the Tomb of Tyr is also used to seal Zakas, the servant of the ancient god. This powerful Krasis is not completely dead in a sense. The corpse still retains activity, which is why Twilight cultists came to look for Tyr's Tomb in the future.
Since it is a sealed chamber, it will indeed be very secretive. I am afraid that even among the Tyr Guards, only a few core members know the true purpose of Tyr's Tomb.
Jaina was also using magic to observe the surrounding land. She stared at the image reflected in the sky and said hesitantly, "This lake seems a little strange..."
"What's wrong, Jaina, did you find anything?" Muradin asked.
"Look," Jaina created a magical image, which contained an overhead view of the lake. "This lake does not seem to be naturally formed. The real source is on the other side of where we are, the lake below where we are now. It looks a bit like...a man-made pit?"
Under the clear magic image, several people present could see clearly that the shape of the lake in the Whispering Forest was indeed extremely weird. There was a scattered "island chain" in the center of the lake, but this island chain looked extremely deserted and without any traces. There are trees, and on the other side of the gap in the island chain, there is another lake.
"So... our half of the lake is indeed strange, and the coast of this half of the lake seems a bit too 'regular'."
"That's because this place was originally the ruins left after the fierce battle between the guardian Tyr and the monster Zakas." Arthas stopped searching. He already had some clues, but further exploration was needed.
"Tyr and the servants of the ancient gods had a fierce battle in the Whispering Forest. Tyr was one against two, but he was caught in a tug of war. In order to quickly deal with these two evil servants, Tyr chose to detonate his huge energy. , this force blasted a huge depression into the ground, one monster was killed on the spot, while the other was seriously injured and fled the battlefield."
