My Frostmourne can't be so cute

Jaina was pulled by her father and came to the door. Suddenly, the little girl broke free of her father's hand, ran to Frostmourne, and whispered: "If you can cure Drake brother, I... I'll give you so many'stars of Elune'! Please!" After speaking, Jaina ran out of the room. Although she was no longer visible, the low whimper indicated the little girl. The child's heart is still full of worries about his brother.

The Archmage Antonidas nodded to Arthas, then turned and left the room, Mograine followed.Vereesa hesitated and did not leave, and asked Alsace somewhat heartily, "Alsace, can you really heal him? I... I felt an unusual power from him."

Arthas was taken aback, and then understood that the high elf ranger, who was sensitive to magic, felt the wound burned by the red dragon flame, which was different from ordinary burns.Arthas smiled at Vereesa and said, "Well, Xiaoshuang will do his best." Vereesa glanced at the awkward Frostmourne standing aside, filled with doubts, but left the room. , Closed the door from the outside.

Arthas looked at the closed door and realized that he and Frostmourne were the only two left in the room, and Drake had passed out after all.The little prince came to the little Demon Sword who was sneaking at him, pulled the corner of her clothes, and said, "Okay, Xiaoshuang, don't be awkward, it's important to save people."

Frostmourne was a little angry, and stomped his feet and said: "I don't want to save the master, you save yourself." Alsace was stunned and said, "How can I save it?" In the original time flow, whether it was death A knight, or the Lich King, Arthas has the ability to resurrect a corpse.However, he is now a child. Although he can use the method obtained from the green-eyed high elves and use the holy light in the form of enslavement, the paladin cannot resurrect the dead.

Frostmourne flattened his mouth and said: "Then I don't care, anyway, master you just want to heal this person and then please Jaina. Want to lie to me and help you? I'm not that stupid! Jaina's brother or something, All go to die." Frostmourne was jealous again.

Arthas had no choice but to explain to her that he was only trying to save people and had nothing to do with Jaina.Of course Frostmourne would not believe this excuse.The last time she went to Dalaran, she was deceived by her master once. It was said that she would never see Jaina. Even if she did, the master would not talk to her, but in the end, the master did not fulfill her promise at all!

However, Frostmourne soon had another idea. She turned her face away, looked at her master condescendingly, and said to Arthas seriously: "Master, I can save this man, but you have to promise me One condition!" Alsace was taken aback, and asked, "What condition?" Frostmourne slowly leaned down, her pink lips came to Alsace's ears, and a large section of her white neck was exposed, cold. The breath of the little prince sprayed on the side of the little prince's face: "After saving him, Master, you will do that kind of shy thing with Xiaoshuang!"

Chapter 99—Survival or Death

"Um..." Alsace felt angry and funny, stepped back, stood on tiptoe, flicked Frostmourne's smooth forehead fiercely, and said, "Xiaoshuang, what have you been thinking about all day? Ah, didn't I say that I have to wait until I reach adulthood?" Frostmourne covered her head and completely forgot. Not long ago, she used a more vicious way to teach her old acquaintance Kel'Thuzad.

"Woo...it hurts!" Frostmourne wailed like a small beast, and said grievously: "But...Master and your father don't agree with us being together..." Arthas looked at Frostmourne's appearance. Even though she knew she was pretending to be pitiful, she couldn't help but took off Little Demon Sword's hands, rubbed her forehead with her fingers, and said, "What's the matter, my father just... temporarily can't accept it," Besides, when I grow up, this matter is naturally my own decision. No one can separate us. I couldn't before, and I can't now."

The "before" in Alsace's words, of course, meant that in the original time flow, after he pulled out Frostmourne from his cave on the Northrend seaside, the two had never separated.Frostmourne caught the owner’s finger and prevented Arthas’s fingertips from leaving his forehead, and said with some worry: "But... I always feel that there will be many big/chest/breasts or small/chest in the future. / The woman came to grab you from my master, so Xiaoshuang must do that kind of shy thing with the master earlier. No matter what happens in the future, I will be the first!"

Arthas tried every means, but Frostmourne killed this condition.There was really no way, Arthas had to agree to her, but he postponed the time until after repelling the attack of the orcs on Nanhai Town-Paladins and seamen resisted the landing of the orcs on the front line, and their Zhengtai Prince Doing that kind of "shameful thing" with your... two-handed sword in the back?

The holy light is on, this picture is almost beyond the imagination of Arthas, the little prince secretly decided in his heart, as long as Frostmourne temporarily deceived, and the rest... .Little Demon Sword didn’t know how his master was thinking about betraying his promises. He thought he had finally won a staged victory. He bounced to the bedside and asked excitedly: "Master, come here, take this After the guy was cured, Xiaoshuang immediately went to kill all the dragons, orcs and the like, and then..."

Frostmourne's delicate face was filled with a smile, and even his eyes narrowed into a small gap.For some reason, Xiao Mojian suddenly felt a little shy and didn't say anything about the next thing, but her every move clearly reflected her inner joy.

Arthas came to the bed and looked at Drake who was lying on the bed.There was a delay in persuading Frostmourne. Now, Drake has almost stopped convulsing, and the wound is no longer bleeding, lying there quietly, with little air intake and more air, basically it can be declared dead.

But this has no effect on Alsace's plan. It can even be said that this is exactly the result he hopes to see.Arthas was no stranger to the red dragon's breath.In Northrend, he once fought a battle with the Alliance and Horde forces that were about to attack here at the entrance to the frozen fortress, a place called the "Gate of Scourge".

At that time, Arthas was focusing on researching with Kel'Thuzad on how to improve the death knight's resurrection method. Therefore, he planned to capture a few Alliance and Horde warriors by the way to make experiments.However, the great pharmacist Putres under Sylvanas used a plague to launch an indiscriminate attack on everyone present. Although Arthas escaped in time, the plague killed many undead, natural disasters and alliances. And the soldiers of the tribe.

In order to control the spread of this plague, the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza sprayed hot flames into the area covered by the plague. Although the threat of the plague was successfully resolved, it also burned the surviving Alliance commander, Stormwind City. The Duke of Bolvar Fortagan.

After this incident, Arthas took away the Duke of Bolvar, who had been burnt to charcoal, and the commander of the Horde army, Dranoche Saurfang, and quickly conducted experiments on the orc , Turning him into a death knight.Later, the experiment failed. Kel'Thuzad was killed in the "Sky City" Naxxramas. Arthas also lost interest in the trivial affairs of the Scourge. The Duke of Balwal, who was half charred by the flames of the red dragon, was also killed. Throw it aside, don't know how he turned out later.

In fact, Arthas has a way to heal the Duke of Bourval. He only needs to transform him into a death knight to free him from the pain of the red dragon.I don't know why, in addition to burning the target, the flames that the red dragon spit will continue to burn the target's vitality, which is the main reason why this kind of burn cannot be cured.

But the death knight does not have this problem at all. Shadow, frost and blood... The death knight can use a lot of powerful power through runes, but there will never be a death knight who still has such a thing as life force.Since the Duke of Burval who was personally burned by the Red Dragon Queen can be treated, Drake, who was only burned by an ordinary young dragon, is naturally not a problem.

But Arthas didn't intend to convert Drake into a death knight simply. He ordered Frostmourne: "Little Shuang, take his soul out, I'll talk to him a few words." Frostmourne Having received the master's promise, now very well-behaved, with the light movement of his fingers, the phantom of a blond young man appeared beside the bed-it was Drake's soul.

Drake was originally lying on the bed and fainted due to the loss of pain and vitality. He suddenly regained consciousness, but found himself in such a strange state, before he had time to react, Arthas had already asked him. Said: "Survival or death, Drake, which one would you choose?"

For a while, Drake did not understand what Alsace meant, and asked, "Who are you? What's wrong with me? Why are there two me, one lying on the bed, one standing... floating here "Frostmourne was a little angry, disgusting that Drake had some ink stains, if according to the meaning of the little magic sword, directly forcibly transforming this guy into a death knight, it will save trouble!

Arthas was indeed not in a hurry, and patiently explained to Drake: "I am the prince of Lordaeron, Arthas Menethil. You should remember that you were burned by the flames of the red dragon. Facts. Come on, you are now dead. The reason why I have a conversation with you is to give you a chance. I will ask you again, Drake Proudmoore, to survive or die, which one would you choose?"

Chapter 100: No Choice

Drake is not a mage, and he has no such talent. He is just an ordinary warrior, not even his father's ability to communicate with the water element.But Drake traveled to and from various routes for a long time and was not short of knowledge. He did not answer Alsace directly, but asked: "Didn't you say that I am dead? Do the dead still need to make such a choice? "

Arthas smiled slightly, that expression made Drake feel that it was not a child standing in front of him, but a demon that deceived people.Arthas said, "I think you may have heard of necromantic magic... If you don't have it, it doesn't matter, it means it can bring the dead back to life."

Alsston paused and continued: "Of course, what I have to tell you is that if you choose to survive, although after your resurrection, there is almost no change from your life, but I hope you don’t tell other people about this. Even your family members. First, they may not be able to accept the fact that you are already a dead person. Second... I don’t want others to know that the prince of Lordaeron will use necromantic magic."

Although the method of resurrection of the death knight has been improved, the death knights resurrected by Arthas and Kel'Thuzad will not appear to be rancid like Tyrone Gorefiend.But after all, there is no vitality, the death knight's body will become stiff, and the skin will become sickly pale; with the frequent use of rune power, the eyes will gradually become the same as the high elves, emitting blue Light.As for the other changes... Alsace was very curious whether the death knight had the ability to give birth to offspring... But there was no such experiment at the time. Perhaps, he could get the answer from Drake.

Of course Drake had a question, but Arthas refused to answer them all."You must make a choice first, Drake." The little prince explained the reason. "If your choice is death, then I don't need to reveal more information to you." See Drake You Hesitating, Arthas did not forget to remind him: "Drake, I think you don’t have much time. The time agreed upon by your father and I will be coming soon. A few minutes later, when he enters this room, Whether to see his son is dead or healed, you must make a choice as soon as possible."

After Alsace finished speaking, he looked at this person who had almost become relatives...soul with interest.In fact, as Frostmourne said, directly transforming Drake into a death knight, things are much simpler.But Alsace did not want to do this, but hoped that Drake could make his own choice.

Because of the belief in the Holy Light, most humans can't accept the thing of becoming a dead spirit, even the highest order of dead spirits like the death knight.In the original time flow, after bringing the Duke of Berval back to the Icecrown Citadel, Arthas once proposed to transform him into a death knight, so that he would be relieved of pain.

Perhaps it was because he still had some nostalgia for the identity of Prince Lordaeron. At that time, Alsace had completely different attitudes towards the Duke of Bolvar and Dranoche Saurfang.Regarding the latter, he did not hesitate to use the orc as an experiment and completely controlled his thoughts.

But for the Duke of Boval, Arthas gave them the same choice as he faced Drake now.It's not that Alsace respects their people/rights, but because he doesn't want these people to embark on a path that has no choice.

Arthas recalled countless times that he had fallen from a noble prince to become the Lich King, but he finally concluded that he had no choice.In Stratholme, Arthas did not kill all citizens indiscriminately as Uther and others thought.

When Arthas arrived in Stratholme, the plague-cursed food transited through Andorhal had arrived in the city for two days.From previous experience, Arthas had seen with his own eyes that after eating this kind of food, in just a few minutes, living people would become dead.

Before Alsace's army launched the attack, the reason why the citizens still possessed consciousness was only the trick of the dreadlord Merganis. All the performance of these zombies was under the control of this cunning demon.However, Uther and others were all bewildered by this illusion, thinking that these people still had room for rescue, and even Jaina, Alsace's lover, was unwilling to support the Prince's decision to slaughter the city.

In fact, after Uther and Jaina left, Arthas also ordered his army to kill only those residents with obvious zombie characteristics, but unfortunately, soon, the entire citizens of Stratholme were right. Lordaeron's army launched an attack-they had already become a member of the Scourge, and now they have just torn off their camouflage.

Since then, Alsace has stepped on the path of being bewitched by Ner'zhul, and finally destroyed his country.In fact, from the moment Frostmourne was pulled out, Arthas had been completely controlled by Ner'zhul, and it was not until Frostmourne woke up to help him untie him.

At that time, Arthas was only thinking about committing suicide—because he not only destroyed his own country, but also just together with Kel'Thuzad, summoned a powerful demon from the Burning Legion—"The Defiler" Akmon. De, and this guy, is about to destroy the entire Azeroth world where Arthas lives.

But Arthas was finally persuaded by Kel'Thuzad. Not only did he retain the hope of restoring everything to its original state, but also through his own efforts, he would destroy Archimonde's plan to destroy the world.In the following period of time, Arthas not only successfully instigated Illidan's betrayal, but also stimulated Archimonde, the easily impulsive commander of the Burning Legion, in order to prove his strength. Alone rushed into the camp of a group of Loa gods. After killing several Loa gods in a row, because of his recklessness, he was shocked by the explosion of a large number of night elf souls gathered at the root of the world tree Nordrassil. Turned to ashes.

Facing the attack by the Scourge, Uther's choice was to let the plague spread rather than to abandon her own rules; Jaina's choice was to bring as many of her subjects as possible and cross Kalimdor westward. Continent, to escape from the undead army; and Alsace’s father, King Terenas, chose to expel the crazy and mysterious man from the palace—the Alliance fleet suffered heavy losses in the Second Orc War , The Kingdom of Kul Tiras withdrew from the alliance again. Even if all the ships of the Eastern Kingdoms were assembled, it was impossible to take away all the people of Lordaeron. The Menethil family would never abandon any of their subjects, even Will usher in destruction, and the king of Lordaeron will die with his people.

Chapter 101 The First Human Death Knight

With the help of Frostmourne, Arthas once regained his consciousness, and once thought, if he had not refused the invitation of the mysterious person who would turn into a crow, and took his subjects to hide in the distant Kalim. After going to many continents, will all the nightmarish things happen afterwards?

However, Arthas knew he was just thinking about it.First, like his father, he is absolutely impossible to abandon any resident; second, he does not think that after escaping to Kalimdor, he can escape the shadow of the Burning Legion covering the world of Azeroth.

In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that in the process of transforming Ner'zhul into the Lich King, Kil’jaeden, the "defrauder, had drawn a lot of power from Frostmourne, and his strength was greatly weakened, and he was summoned to Ai The world of Xerath wouldn't be Archimonde who was a little irritable, but Kil'jaeden who was more cunning.

If Kil'jaeden came to Azeroth, then the night elves use a hundred world trees, and don't want to lure this guy into a trap.After Archimonde's death, although Kil'jaeden could not descend on Azeroth, his conspiracy and deception would not be blocked.

Fortunately, the two Lich Kings, Ner'zhul betrayed the Burning Legion and did not want to destroy the entire world according to Kil'jaeden's request; the successor Arthas was busy studying necromantic magic with Kel'Thuzad, right Kil'jaeden's orders didn't care, and this made Kil'jaeden the most important bargaining chip in his hand, the Scourge failed to play its due role.

Arthas did not want to deliberately beautify his behavior. He knew what he had done. He had committed unforgivable sins to the Kingdom of Lordaeron and his father, teachers, relatives and friends. If he could save everything, he would rather give himself. s life.However, without the fall of Arthas, Ner'zhul, the Lich King, could not escape the control of the Burning Legion, Kil'jaeden would eventually destroy the entire Azeroth.

Arthas was finally pulled back from the memory by Drake's murmur: "To survive or die, this is a question." Drake Proudmoore gently repeated Alsace's question, seemingly still Unable to make a decision.This famous saying can be spread thanks to the teacher of Master Khadgar and the last guardian Medivh.

Medivh’s depravity is no secret at the upper level of the alliance.The last guardian, his birth was shrouded in the shadow of the Burning Legion.The powerful fallen Titan, the commander of the Burning Legion, Sargeras, once used the means of fraudulent death to possess him on Medivh's mother, the guardian of the previous generation, the female mage Aegwynn.

When Medivh was born, Sargeras quietly transferred from Aegwynn’s body to the baby’s soul, and successfully suppressed Medivh’s soul in decades of struggle for the body, and even the wizards The organization of Tirisfal was slaughtered.

In the days that followed, this last guardian was sometimes crazy and sometimes calm.According to Master Khadgar, when Medivh calmed down, he created a large number of artworks, such as paintings, sculptures, poems, dramas, novels... It seems that the master is omnipotent.

The mage Khadgar-who was still an apprentice at the time-had quietly brought some of them out of the Karazhan Tower. These artworks, whether paintings or literary works, soon circulated in the upper classes of the Eastern Kingdom Open.The phrase "survival or death is a question" comes from one of the tragedies called "Hamlet".It is said that in the empty spire of Karazhan, there are still some ghosts, day and night, performing the series that Medivh has written, commemorating the last guardian, who is doomed to a tragic life from the beginning of the embryo. .

After killing Medivh with Lothar, Master Khadgar realized that these artworks belonged to other worlds destroyed by the Burning Legion.Sargeras collected these artworks and stored them in his soul memory to commemorate these civilizations that were ultimately annihilated because of their indomitability.

Arthas sometimes couldn't help thinking, if Azeroth was destroyed, would his story be collected in Sargeras' memory?A prince who killed his father, betrayed the country, and even wanted to destroy his own race... Alsace sometimes felt that he and the prince in "Hamlet" were somewhat similar to each other-constantly facing various After making a choice, it turns out that there is only one way to choose, and it also leads to an endless abyss.

It seems that this famous quote circulating in Azeroth gave Drake what inspiration, as a prince, he finally made his own choice: "Prince Arthas...Is it? I hope you can I am resurrected and become the kind of undead you said.” When Drake said this, he was a little bit hesitant at first, but after Yu, his words became more firm-reluctant, reluctant to bear his father, mother, younger brother, yet When I was just dying, I seemed to see my younger sister, Jaina, in a hallucination.Since he was reluctant to bear all of this, even if he was incarnate as an undead, even something more filthy and evil, as long as he could be with his relatives, Drake was willing.

After hearing Drake's words, Arthas smiled slightly, as if he had guessed the result a long time ago, and said, "Very well, Drake Proudmoore, you will be the first... the first in this world... …Human death knight, of course, you will probably be the last one.” After that, Arthas nodded to Frostmourne, no matter whether Drake could understand what he had just said, indicating that she could start. .
