However, while Kel'Thuzad was waiting for Arthas' reply, the long-awaited Archlich suddenly felt something was wrong after a period of silence.
Normally, Alsace's soul fluctuations would have reached his mind, but this time there was no movement.
The archlich felt inexplicably confused at first, and then suddenly became worried about Alsace's situation.
But Kel'Thuzad thought again: There are only a handful of things in Azeroth that can threaten His Majesty the Lich King, and His Majesty has several other identities.
In the realm of Lordaeron, attack the future crown prince of Lordaeron, the heir to the Silver Knights? Moreover, the person being attacked was still a powerful "paladin". Kel'Thuzad thought that no normal person would be involved in such an incident.
However, Kel'Thuzad's random thoughts had not progressed to the next step. When he turned around and tried to call Arthas again, his movements suddenly froze.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
Kel'Thuzad's mandible almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted, caught his fallen jaw with his hand, and put it back together.
"Two Gorons, not bad, better than I expected."
Alsace was still wearing casual clothes. Under his white shirt, he had sharp-cut muscles and a figure as perfect as marble carved by a skilled craftsman. His medium-length golden hair was tied back, and he had transformed from a prince into a refreshing and sunny young man. .
It's just that this image seems a bit out of place in Naxanaar, a floating city caused by natural disasters.
But no one dared to question the sudden appearance of Alsace. The psychics who realized something, as well as the undead with some self-awareness, all knelt on the ground humbly - whether in life or after death, Alsace They are the ones they serve.
The big lich with its chin fixed quickly floated to Alsace's side, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
He was not surprised that Arthas could directly enter the Outland, because Arthas' power and knowledge were far above him, but it was really strange for Arthas to appear here.
You must know that although Arthas is also the Lich King, most of the time, various tasks of natural disasters are left to people in various positions, because he himself still has a lot of messy things related to the alliance to deal with.
"The top leaders of the alliance are still arguing over whether to restart the Dark Portal. I won't be able to make a big difference if I stay in Lordaeron." Arthas walked to Gronn and knocked on the dark Saron with his hand. Evil Iron Armor, "I didn't expect that there are still problems that you can't solve?"
The fire in Kel'Thuzad's eyes jumped, and he said with some embarrassment, "Even in Dalaran, there is not much progress in the research on the soul, and most people even regard it as an absolute taboo. There is no reference material for cross-species soul issues."
He has indeed tried all the methods he can think of, and it is not wrong to be able to think of using a powerful soul to control the body instead of Goron, but he found that ordinary psychics cannot accomplish this alone. It would be too wasteful to use those powerful wizards and psychics.
The high-end combat power of the Scourge Legion is still being accumulated, and spending it on two war weapons is really a bit of a luxury.
"Actually, your idea is right," Alsace's fingers traced across the armor, and a light blue halo flashed across the armor. "Perhaps some knowledge about the Kingdom of the Dead can help you know how to operate it. .”
Arthas possesses a very high level of death power, as well as a large amount of knowledge obtained from various places, as well as from peeking into the Shadow Kingdom, but a large part of it is not something he can achieve himself, or it is not able to strengthen his personal power. thing.
Maybe he had to consider Kel'Thuzad before, but after a series of time, the archlich's loyalty to him, or to power and knowledge, was basically unshakable, and it could be regarded as barely reaching Arthas' standards.
"About the nature of soul power," Arthas pulled out a trace of soul light from Goron's body and held it on his fingertips, "In that ancient kingdom of death, they called it 'anima'. This is the basic energy that constitutes the soul, and the reason why the power of the soul can manifest strange things is precisely because of this power called 'anima'."
The Archlich nodded. In fact, anyone who has studied death magic will probably know that the essence of all soul power is the same thing, just with different names, whether it is soul power or something else. Whatever it is called, it does not affect the existence and use of this power.
"The shaping and reconstruction of anima in the Shadow Realm has evolved to a very high level. They can even use anima to complete a series of tasks. The psychics of the Shadow Realm are the source of death magic in the world. Regarding anima, There are countless ways to use it.”
The power of anima was fleeting in Arthas' hands, and a soul could not carry much power. However, when Arthas controlled the souls scattered in Naxxanar, Kel'Thuzad He was shocked to notice that the scattered soul power that could not be gathered and utilized actually gathered and grew in Alsace's hands.
"this--"
Kel'Thuzad's miraculous methods for Arthas cannot be described in words. It is not difficult to gather souls, but to allow souls from different sources to form a new collective has reached his knowledge blind spot.
"This is not difficult. A skilled psychic can complete this step." Alsace threw the soul clot condensed with a trace of Gronn's heart energy to the side and landed on the experimental table. On an ogre skull.
The skull immediately began to tremble slightly. After a brief fusion, an ogre skull wrapped in soul flames floated up, spinning around Kel'Thuzad, and kept making weird and weird laughs.
"Study this skull carefully. Everything you need is inside." Alsace patted Gronn's calf. "I hope you can make this big guy move soon. On the ground, they will It is a more deadly weapon than dragons and other constructs.”
"As you wish...just-" Kel'Thuzad hesitated.
Arthas found a chair and sat down, waving his hands to the natural disaster members who were worshiping him to go about their business, "What's wrong?"
"Grongs are indeed very outstanding creatures, but my master, are their number too small? I estimate optimistically that even including the dragon slayer, there may not be more than ten Gronns in the entire Blade's Edge Mountains."
Arthas nodded when he heard this, "This is indeed a problem, but... Gronn itself is just a transition. When the Scourge has mastered some Shadow Realm technologies, they will use Gronn as a blueprint to create something comparable to it. Even stronger constructs are not impossible.”
For the undead natural disasters, the way to create a terrifying legion is not only to revive dead creatures, but they can also create something with greater potential through understanding and analysis of life.
So Arthas is not worried, because the Shadow Realm is an existence that can compete with the Void and the Burning Legion. If he can make good use of the knowledge he has gleaned, it will not be difficult to compete with the Burning Legion.
