When people are young, they always have an inexplicable sense of mission. If there are a few stooges around who are watching the excitement... then congratulations, your sense of mission has super evolved——a super mission with a sense of ritual must be Da.
Well, speaking human words is commonly known as self-satisfaction.
Carlos has also gone through such a journey as a sophomore in high school. He succeeded. The Barov family stands tall on the earth because of his perseverance.
So with a full sense of accomplishment, his sense of mission evolved and became his ambition to defend Azeroth.
So in the final analysis, a boy who is in the second grade of middle school will never graduate. There will be a sophomore year after the second year of high school. Men will remain teenagers until they die.
Apart from their youth, the only difference between Alsace and Carlos is their personalities.
Ner'zhul sighed helplessly after making precise calculations. It would be great if that damn human was not a Paladin. The Holy Light blocked the spiritual influence exerted by the Lich King on Carlos. Otherwise, there would be no way to win over Arthas. Carlos is very reliable.
Whether it was power, status or machine performance, what Ner'zhul wanted most was Carlos.
This also contains deep obsession.
If it weren't for Carlos's expedition to Draenor, how could Ner'zhul be devoured by Kil'jaeden and turned into an ice base? How could the Shadowmoon clan be reduced to ashes by the Burning Legion and turned into a lich?
In a sense, Ner'zhul was the number one loser in Azeroth during the days when Turalyon disappeared.
You know how powerful Carlos is. He is the man who killed me. He is a powerful enemy that I must kill!
Of course, combination is also possible, with Lich King-style blushing brackets.
However, as the saying goes, everyone wants beautiful women in carriages, but it is hard for a shrew to live without a donkey carriage.
After Ner'zhul tried countless times, he found that it was too difficult to penetrate one of Carlos's barriers with mental power. At least it was possible for Carlos to stand in front of the Ice Throne.
But you can't corrupt Carlos mentally and let him stand in front of you...
Isn't this seeking death?
Ner'zhul still has Lord Kil'jaeden on top, and work still needs to be done. If Carlos Barov can't be planned, then Arthas Menethil can also do it.
So Kel'Thuzad's spiritual influence on Arthas never stopped.
Alsace has never been a strong man.
Carlos knew this, Varian knew it, and Calia and Jaina also knew it.
The only one who didn't believe it was his father Terenas.
Be the child your father likes, be the prince everyone likes, and be the ideal king.
Arthas cares too much about what others think.
As he grew up, Terenas discovered his son's weakness, and then corrected his son's "mistakes" step by step.
It seems that the effect is quite good so far. Everyone thinks that Prince Arthas is the qualified heir to the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
But who cares about Alsace's mental health?
Varian Wrynn returned to Stormwind City to restore power.
Arthas was regretful and relieved at the same time. The cousin who was more like Terenas's son than himself was gone.
Although I lost a friend and playmate, it was so relaxing to not have to compare myself with Varian.
However, when Carlos returned from the star realm, heavier pressure came again.
It was a living legend, a living saint that everyone, including Alsace himself, personally offered to the shrine.
Compared with his other distant cousin Carlos, Alsace couldn't find any confidence.
The Paladin Code of Conduct he carries with him was compiled by him.
Originally, Arthas thought that he had accepted the fact that it was an idol of light and a moral model that his mentor Uther and the Lightbringer were full of praise for.
Just respect it.
But the birth of Stromka made Alsace's mentality unbalanced again.
The symbol of power of Emperor Thoradin, the proof of the human king...
Although Emperor Thoradin's words of rejecting his heir's request for Stromkar have been left in writing, the emperor clearly stated that Stromka is not a symbol of the human king.
but……
but……
But that was Stromka.
Which human being will truly forget the glory of the Arathor Empire, and which young man has not fantasized about the past glory of the empire.
As an adult, Alsace has gradually understood how Sir Lothar used his verbal promise in exchange for the military power of the Seven Kingdoms.
I also gradually understood that the citizens of Stromgarde who split the empire back then all had an empire in their hearts.
Therefore, Carlos communicated with his old father-in-law as soon as he got Stromka, and solemnly promised that he would never get involved in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and even left a written message.
Even though it was such a sincere gesture, Terenas weighed it for a long time before choosing to believe it.
Alsace could understand it intellectually, but he was still emotionally entangled.
This gave Kel'Thuzad the opportunity to provoke.
It's interesting to say.
Anastarian was trying to clear the way for his son Kael'thas to take the throne, so the Sun King drove his son out of Silvermoon City.
Terenas' body could no longer hold on much longer. In order for Arthas to take over smoothly, he made the same decision as Anastarian.
So Arthas chose the latter between going to Dalaran as an envoy and going to Alterac to see his sister.
On the one hand, it was because there was that person in Dalaran that Arthas could not face for the time being, and on the other hand, it was the hint planted by Kel'Thuzad in the gap in Alsace's mind.
Arthas wanted to observe Stormka War Destroyer.
After years of training as a paladin, the prince's mind has long been mature. If it weren't for Kel'Thuzad's bewitchment and the Lich King's spiritual suggestion, Arthas wouldn't be so obsessed with a weapon.
But Ner'zhul could wait no longer.
Kil'jaeden's orders are absolute.
The Deceiver was very dissatisfied with the progress of Ner'zhul's work. The Argent Dawn formed by Carlos and Tirion Fordring greatly hindered the Scourge's plan.
After responding to Carlos's call, the talented pharmacist Snow faced off against the equally talented plague master Silgay, and they were evenly matched.
Kel'Thuzad's progress in advancing the Undead Plague has been much slower than expected.
The Twilight Sect and the Cult of the Damned are two cult organizations that have a tacit understanding to cause trouble because of their common goals. While they infiltrate each other, they also have their own purposes.
Therefore, Ner'zhul urgently needs a body, an agent of his own will.
Frostmourne is still being slowly forged under the watchful eye of the Lich King.
This artifact, forged with Legion technology and based on Ner'zhul's soul fragments and saronite, is worthy of its orange quality.
But the plan to lure the prince north seems to be behind the changes.
Therefore, the Lich King urgently needs to advance Plan B.
In the intrigue with Kil'jaeden, in the spiritual confrontation with the ancient gods, Ner'zhul understood a truth through the eternal pain of his soul.
Lies made up of truth are the most effective forms of fraud.
