After Anvil, Gloria and several other dwarves were stared at by multiple eyes of the Crypt Lord, they were instantly enveloped by a huge sense of oppression. Anub'arak's huge size was also among the best among spider demons, making Iron Anvil felt that his calves were already shaking disobediently.
Gloria was holding the pickaxe in her hand. With her fiery temper, she wanted to give Anub'arak a hard blow before his sharp claws pierced her.
But just when Gloria was about to rush out, Brian's words made her almost lose her balance and fall to the ground.
"Oh my god...why are you here? Did he send you here?" There was no fear in Brian's words, only doubt. The other dwarves didn't know what Brian's words meant, but Brian himself knew it because he He is one of the few people who knows Alsace's other identity.
Although he couldn't tell from Anub'arak's physical features which Crypt Lord he was, he did look exactly like the Crypt Lord in the Scourge.
"Let me answer this question."
Wrapped in a shabby cloak and carrying a great sword wrapped in tattered cloth strips on his back, Death Knight Lothar pressed one hand on the wall of the tunnel opened by Anub'arak, stood at the entrance and said, "Old Bronzebeard, long time no see. "
Brian was very confused when he heard this. He felt that the undead knight in front of him felt inexplicably familiar, until the other person's standing posture slowly overlapped with a figure in his memory. This well-informed dwarf adventurer also had round eyes. Open, face full of disbelief.
"Losa—this, how is this possible!"
Lothar also smiled briefly when he heard this, and then he pulled off his face mask, revealing a lifeless face with pale skin, "I really didn't expect that I could save you again after I died."
Except for Brian, several other dwarves, as well as Ava who was following Lothar, realized with horror that the death knight in front of them, exuding a dangerous aura, was the alliance that had fallen for many years. Grand Marshal, Anduin Lothar.
In addition to the joy of reuniting with his old friend, Brian asked a question with some worry, "He was the one who resurrected you...right?"
Now that Lothar had revealed his identity, he had no intention of hiding anything. He nodded slightly, "That's true, but the situation is very complicated. It's not convenient to say it clearly now. As long as you have an idea, you don't have to worry. He didn't take the path you feared. .”
"That's good..." Brian breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Arthas would embark on a path of no return, which would undoubtedly lead to a disaster that would sweep the world.
He knew that he shouldn't doubt Alsace, but the power Alsace wielded from the moment he picked up the sword was too dangerous, just like a person walking on the edge of an abyss. If he is not careful, he will lose his footing and fall. .
"Then why did you come here today? The Scourge Legion should not appear on the mainland easily."
Brian asked Lothar that the last time the Scourge was dispatched on a large scale was to fight against the fallen power of Aldu'arri. This time he met Lothar at the southernmost tip of the continent. He guessed that something big was about to happen.
"We are here for Uldum. There is something the Lich King needs there." Lothar directly told Brian the plan because he was going to use Brian's ability to speed up the process of the mission. ….
When it comes to exploring and excavating ancient ruins, he is not as good as Brian, a "troublemaker" who likes to run around. When he was the marshal of Stormwind City, he realized that professional matters must be left to professionals. To do it, the Lich King did tell him that if necessary, he did not need to hide his identity and could seek help, because maybe the Scourge would no longer cover up his existence.
"Uldum? Ah - why would the Lich King focus on it? It can't be that he also has a hobby of archeology, right?" Brian turned to the various panels and records in the main control room while murmuring. As they spoke, they played back to Lothar what they had just discovered, "We originally thought this was Uldum, a small Titan facility, but this is actually just an observation tower for observing Uldum. The real Uldum is Hidden using ancient magic."
"The Lich King has told us this information, and he has given it back to us.
A specific coordinate, saying that the real location of Uldum is probably nearby, but because the gate leading to Uldum is covered by magic and hidden in the mountains, do you have any ideas about this? "
Brian shook his head, moved his companions aside and asked them to pack up their things, and asked them to build a temporary camp here to study. Then he turned to Lothar and said, "No, we have no clue at all. We didn't even know it at the beginning. The true situation in Uldum... Where did Arthas learn these secrets? I suspect he has enough of the Titan's information library integrated into his brain!"
"Then it's a headache... We can only go to our coordinates first and hope to find something useful there." Lothar glanced at the other dwarves busy in the main control room and said to Brian , "Will you come with us, or continue here?"
The old dwarf laughed twice, "I sent those brats away just to follow you. I can't wait for a second longer to find the real gate to Uldum."
Lothar was about to nod when he heard Anub'arak say to him through a soul message, "Are you really going to bring this troublemaker with you?"
Lothar said helplessly, "Do you think I want to? According to the Lich King, that gate is sealed with Titan technology and magic. Then we might as well let Brian try to see if he can open the door. I don't want to destroy the floating city by then. Summoned and then knocked down from the sky by Titan technology."
As soon as these words came out, Anub'arak also fell silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
At this time, Brian glanced back and forth between Lothar and Anub'arak with strange eyes - he always felt that the two people in front of him were hiding something from him.
…
Twelve hours later, Brian, who felt like he was almost dehydrated from the sun, looked at the rolling mountains in front of him and the endless sea of sand behind him, and the facial features on his face were all squeezed into a ball.
"I'm telling you, if you want to tire old Bronzebeard to death, just tell me, I'm not an undead, and I can run around in the desert effortlessly." Brian said, while taking a swig of water into his mouth - -Fortunately, he packed enough supplies in his magic bag.
"Strange..." Lothar frowned, "We should be very close to that coordinate."
"We seem to have been spinning in circles," Anub'arak suddenly said at this time, "I saw the underground tunnels I left here before."
Anub'arak didn't notice anything unusual at first, until he discovered the underground passage he had reinforced underground. "I suspect that the entire area here is shrouded in some kind of magic, which affects our perception. The strong wind in the desert It will quickly cover up the traces on the ground, and even the position of the sand dunes will move."
"It seems something is really wrong..." Brian also reacted at this time, "Didn't you notice that in all the places we just walked... we didn't even see any traces or bones of wild animals. These things were originally there. Tanaris should be everywhere!"
Maybe it’s not that no one has been here, but that all the people who came here either got lucky and left the area covered by magic and returned to the normal desert, or they turned into bones and were buried in the yellow sand forever. Down.
Salted fish is not here
