Everyone quickly entered the secret passage, and following the push of the water flow, they jumped out of a waterfall and landed steadily in a shallow water.
After the door of the secret passage was opened, there was a winding path inside, and the water from the lake was pouring into it. However, after a short time, the water had already reached the ankles of several people.
Fortunately, this does not seem to be a completely sealed space. The cracks on the cave indicate that there seems to be a deeper abyss below, and the water should not reach their heads.
"Move quickly, if all the water comes in, we will be in trouble."
Jaina used magic to instantly build an ice wall to block the flow of water, but this could not last long. Judging from the melting speed of the ice wall, a large amount of water would re-enter the channel in ten minutes at most.
Fortunately, the Alliance heroes were much more efficient than ordinary soldiers. Under the leadership of Alsace, it took them a few minutes to leave the shallow water channel and climb a staircase that was incompatible with the surrounding caves.
Magni immediately realized that there was almost no difference between the style of the Titan ruins he saw in Uldaman, except that the Tomb of Tyr seemed to be more completely preserved, and one could almost see the style of the Titan architecture.
"It seems we are in the right place, boy!" Magni stretched out his hand to pull the people behind him up the steps while looking at the structure of the antechamber of Tyr's tomb.
These steps were obviously not built for humans and dwarves. Although not as exaggerated as the size of the guardians, the size of the people responsible for building this place should be far larger than humans and dwarves.
It took them some time to cross the steps that were almost as high as a normal human thigh, and they finally saw clearly for the first time the "door" of the closed Tomb of Tire.
It is actually not accurate to say that it is a gate, because this tomb may not have been intended to be opened since it was originally built. What blocks the gate is actually a complete stone tablet.
The stone tablet bears the imprint of ancient rune magic, but the magic seal on it has become somewhat dim. It seems to have been caused by Thoradin and his expedition team entering the tomb by mistake.
There are some signs of weathering and damage to the stone tablet. Thoradin's team probably did not rely on normal means to enter the tomb in the first place. There must have been violent break-ins.
"Do you want me to move this boulder, Arthas?" Jaina walked to Arthas, ready to use arcane magic to remove the stone tablet blocking the door.
"Don't use spells yet. The monster sleeping in the tomb is very sensitive to magic energy. It would be the best way to deal with him while he is sleeping."
Alsace looked at the stone stele and found a relatively weak point that seemed to be the easiest to break. He immediately held the light of dawn in his hand and aimed at a corner of the stone stele and slammed it down.
The war hammer easily shattered the remaining rune magic and the stone tablet that had experienced violent destruction. One side of the door to the Tomb of Tyr was directly hammered open by Arthas.
The prince raised his foot and kicked away the remaining stones, and was the first to enter the antechamber of the tomb, followed closely by the others.
Muradin was the last one to enter the tomb. He muttered from behind, "Isn't it good for us to knock on the door of the guardian's tomb like this... They seem to be somewhat related to us."
Magni glared at Muradin, "Excellent moment, extraordinary solution, how else would you come in and dig a tunnel? Look at the walls around you. When you come in, all the monsters sealed inside will have reached Ironforge. !”
After being reprimanded by his elder brother, Muradin decisively stopped talking and followed Magni, stretching his neck to look at Tyr's tomb curiously.
It is said to be a tomb, but in fact there is no remains of Tyr stored here. It is just an empty hall without any treasures or complicated decorations. The statues standing around the hall holding a model of the planet Azeroth may be the only decoration. .
Tyr originally chose to use self-destruction to die with the enemy. Except for the sterling silver arm, which was enshrined by Tyr's guards as a holy relic, the guardian's body was annihilated in the explosion.
The sterling silver arm that Jotun forged for him and Tyr's weapon [Silver Hand] are all of Tyr's relics. The sterling silver arm remains in the mountains of the Whispering Forest, protecting Tyr's guards, and the Silver Hand The hand was buried in the tomb.
At this moment, the war hammer floating on the high platform in the center of the hall, constantly drawing the power of the Holy Light from the surrounding Holy Light Altar, attracted the attention of several Paladins.
"Is that... the warhammer of Guardian Tyr?" Mograine asked. The Ashbringer in his hand was making a pleasant sound, as if he was jumping for joy when meeting someone of the same kind.
"Yes, that is Tyr's war hammer [Silver Hand], but now it is not only a weapon, but also a key." Arthas explained.
The paladins present were all masters of the Holy Light. They soon felt that the power of Holy Light in the hall was centered on the Silver Hand. After complex transformation and transmission, it was transmitted from a corner of the hall. .
"The Silver Hand maintains a certain seal. The seal that can be left here is probably to target the monster named Zakas." Uther already understood the role of the Silver Hand. "It seems that we are going to To open the seal, you must pick up the Silver Hand.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were on Uther. Uther also understood the intentions of the others. He nodded, "I will temporarily hold the Silver Hand and open the seal."
The Paladins had no intention of taking the weapon as their own, and they only let Uther use it because his mastery of the power of the Holy Light may be the highest here except for Arthas.
And Arthas already has an artifact that is not inferior to the Silver Hand. Only by handing this weapon to others can it better utilize its power.
Uther understood the responsibility he shouldered and handed his warhammer to Dathrohan, a powerful paladin who was comfortable even with two-handed weapons.
When Arthas saw his teacher ascending the high platform, he quickly said to the people around him, "Be careful, everyone. Once the Silver Hand is taken away, the dark power buried under the hall will quickly awaken, and there may be someone. The creations of darkness keep pouring out.
Mograine, Muradin, Jaina, when the seal is opened, we will immediately enter the deep cave and eliminate Zakas. The remaining people will stay in the front hall of the Silver Hand to maintain the basic seal and not let the darkness pass too quickly. Occupy this place!
Teacher, I leave it to you. With the power of the Silver Hand, only you here can ensure that the Holy Light will not be extinguished. "
"I understand. The holy light will always shine on this hall. Evil things will never dare to desecrate this sacred place."
Uther's expression was solemn. He quietly looked at the silver hand floating in the air, waiting for Arthas' instructions.
