"A cunning betrayer acquires a warlock's skull? That sounds perfectly reasonable."
Maiev glanced at Malfurion thoughtfully, but the Archdruid stood there like a wooden sculpture without any reaction. The warden had no choice but to turn his gaze back to Arthas, "Thank you very much. You have provided us with precious information. Although Illidan has temporarily escaped my pursuit, as long as he is still alive, I will not stop hunting him."
"This will be a difficult task," Alsace warned.
However, faced with Alsace's reminder, Maiev did not seem to have any intention of changing her mind. Although Illidan's escape did not cause many casualties to the night elves, the thought of watching the prisoner escape helplessly , the somewhat paranoid Maiev simply couldn't bear this humiliation.
But what she had to admit was that Illidan's escape was in another world. Although the night elves had a long heritage, the matter of astral teleportation had almost been lost.
Therefore, no matter how strong Maiev's will was, this matter could only be left alone, but now, Maiev understood that there was an opportunity in front of her.
"Your Highness, let's talk straight. Can you provide me with this information? The Archdruid also summoned me to come here. I think there should be a way for me to go to the world where Illidan is."
Although Maiev, who has lived for thousands of years, does not like talking to strangers, it does not mean that she is a slow person. Just like her experienced hunting skills, Maiev accurately captured the meaning between Arthas' words. focus.
Arthas also had a new understanding of the Huntress. It seems that Maiev is not the guy who was dazzled by revenge and paranoia now. "Indeed, because the original design to open the Dark Portal, except Gurr, Dan, there is also a human guardian, his name is Medivh.”
"Secret Keeper?" Maiev was stunned for a moment. The Salas language, which originated from the ancient Elvish language, was very similar to the current Elvish language. She subconsciously thought of this word.
"This is actually the meaning of his name, but he still failed to protect the secret he carried - I'm sorry, I said too much, Ms. Maiev, Medivh is the one who designed and built the dark side of Azeroth. He must know how to open this portal, but the trouble is... he died, and the notes recording his magical knowledge were hidden away as taboos in the Magic Kingdom of Dalaran. , his only apprentice went to Draenor as a member of the expeditionary force, and closed the Dark Portal from that side."
Maiev was a little confused. According to Arthas, all people and objects related to Medivh were difficult to find. Could it be that he wanted to find those forbidden items by himself?
But she did not interrupt Arthas, and Arthas continued.
"However, fortunately, Dalaran is a member of the Alliance. Through some diplomatic means and bargaining chips, I may be able to get the Book of Medivh. Just by opening the Dark Portal, we will face tremendous pressure - Outland is A wasteland where most of the area has been reduced to a hell where demons and orcs are raging. These crazy guys will attack the Dark Portal at all costs and destroy our world."
Arthas' tone became serious. He didn't want to open the dark door to the outside world unless necessary, but if he wanted to temporarily take the devil's eyes away from Azeroth, he would have to open up a new battlefield instead of letting the devil If you want to act recklessly in Azeroth, it is better to find an abandoned land and fight with the Legion.
It just so happens that although the environment in Outland is harsh, it is not as difficult to stand on as Argus or other worlds that have turned into dust and debris. Moreover, Illidan has just sat on the throne of King of Outland, and he must wait until he is completely stable. , seizing the outer realm.
It's just that Illidan's "curvy plan to save the country" is really difficult for the leaders of Azeroth to accept, and no one knows whether Illidan will fight the Burning Legion to the end like the "correct" history, or whether he will suddenly surrender to the enemy halfway.
Arthas can bet on Illidan, but he will never put all his opportunities and hopes on this guy.
If you want to advance in the outer realm, you will inevitably conflict with Illidan's plan. Although Arthas knows that Illidan's purpose is to get the key stone, but putting some appropriate pressure will make Illidan focus on completing it. His purpose is not to let his men run amok in the outer realm.
So, he had a plan and needed help from someone familiar with Illidan, and Maiev happened to be a good candidate.
…
"Alsace, I can only say that I will try my best to help you fight for it with the teacher, but I think there is little hope." In the magic image, Jaina's expression was very helpless. She was not optimistic about Arthas's idea. It would be fine if it were something else, but it was the Book of Medivh after all.
The great wizard and fallen guardian almost single-handedly destroyed the entire human civilization, and also left behind a lot of terrible knowledge. For the wizards of the Kirin Tor, no matter what the reason, it was... It's hard to hand that over to outsiders.
If Medivh's mage Takarazhan was not too dangerous. It seemed to be connected to countless phases and planes, and few mages who entered could come out. I am afraid that the tower would have been emptied by the Kirin Tor.
And Jaina also knew her teacher's temperament very well. Antonidas was upright and stubborn. Maybe he could give some other magical treasure to Arthas, but the Book of Medivh contained power that ordinary mages could not understand. It is unlikely that the Speaker of Laran will use it diplomatically either in public or private affairs.
——Even if this person is the Paladin and the Crown Prince of Lordaeron, Arthas, it is impossible.
And even if Antonidas agrees, if he wants to use the Book of Medivh, he must at least seek the approval of two members of the six-person parliament. This difficulty is basically equivalent to ousting Antonidas from the position of speaker and then laying off six members. The People's Assembly alone was in power.
"Try your best. I believe Archmage Antonidas is not that pedantic. The Burning Legion has invaded us once, and there will be another time. I believe he will not let the Eastern Kingdom suffer another disaster that is worse than the orc invasion. catastrophe.”
Jaina was silent after listening. She had personally experienced the landslide and tsunami-like demonic frenzy under Mount Hyjal. She had also experienced Archimonde's suffocating sense of oppression. She also knew that in order to defeat the Burning Legion, this little For part of their power, the night elves paid a very heavy price.
If the teacher can really confirm what Arthas said, maybe... maybe Antonidas can really be able to give the Book of Medivh to Arthas.
