Azeroth’s Death Track

There are as many legends about the young kings in later generations as a cow's hair. Among the exciting stories about the revival of the human empire, the description of the mysterious emperor's legacy occupies many, many pages.

Some people say that it is the magical weapon left by the emperor for the successors unearthed in the manor where Emperor Lothar was born in the old land of the eastern continent.

Some people also said that it was the huge amount of wealth and armaments that the emperor had buried in a cave in the Thousand Needles Forest like a prophet before the tragic battle in the northern border, preparing for the revival of the empire.

There are also the most bizarre rumors, saying that it is the source of power given to the great emperor by the mysterious world spirit, and it is precisely because the young kings found this source of power that the weak empire became prosperous again .

As short-lived human beings, the records of these histories are always incorrect. They will make slight adjustments to the stories according to their personal preferences. After being circulated several times, those stories will be changed beyond recognition.

For those participants who have actually experienced the Emperor's Legacy event, it was just a process in which the young people inherited the great will of the previous generation in a closed and dim hall under the watchful eyes of the faith leaders of the human world... ok Well, this process and the matter itself are legendary enough.

The... legacy left by Emperor Lothar?

Under the dim light, Alsace looked at the brass-colored ring in his hand in disbelief. He didn't doubt Faol's words, but several months had passed since the Battle of Northern Border. Why? Your Majesty wants to hand over this thing to them at this time?

Is there something hidden in this?

The same question echoed in the hearts of the other kings and princesses, and as if seeing their doubts, the aging Holy Light coughed a few times, and then said slowly:

This is what Lothar meant. Before he set foot on the final battlefield, he repeatedly entrusted me that this is the mission he should have completed, but fate did not leave him much time, so he can only hand it over to the latecomers , but these things are too important, I have to inspect you first...children, I will only give it to you after confirming that you are capable of undertaking the mission left by Lothar.

The crown's clear gaze rested on Alsace, and he said meaningfully:

My investigation is over. Although I am a little reckless, a little immature, and still need to grow up, but... the will to protect the empire and the people, the mutual help between each other, the integrity of the character and the courage to face hardships are in you , I see a somewhat bumpy, but bright future... Open it, good boys, you are exactly the successors that Losar's great will needs.

The deep voice reached the ears of every king, making these young chiefs look at each other. Finally, under the gesture of everyone, Jaina put the brass ring in the palm of her hand, and then slowly injected magic.

This is an old-fashioned storage ring, a magical product born in the last era. The storage space is not as large as the current popular rings, but it is very safe. Between the faint light blue magic brilliance, several The thing appeared in Jaina's hands, and she placed it on the table beside her in front of Faol's crown.

This is...

Alsace picked up the heavy booklet on the top, flipped through a few pages, and his expression became serious. He picked up the booklet with both hands, and handed it to His Majesty Faol, who put on a pair of reading glasses, After looking at it with the light, he handed it back.

Undoubtedly, the Silver Codex, which records the training methods of Ash Knights, is a glimmer of light that Lothar has found for the war between the human empire and the undead. It should belong to all humans, and you must use it properly.

certainly.

Several kings passed around to look at the scripture in their hands. They discussed in low voices, and finally decided to send the most loyal clerks to copy several copies of the silver-gray scripture under the supervision of various countries. Everyone knows that in the current human empire, there are still spies of the undead.

And then this!

Jaina spread out the second drawing and placed it on the table in front of her. It was densely marked with a map of the underground city, and there was a big X mark in the corner.

This is the underground map of the Black Iron District, look! Here are the notes of Emperor Lothar.

Garin exclaimed, and everyone's eyes were on this map. Emperor Lothar seemed to write down the meaning of this map in a hurry. He didn't explain what the X represented. He It's just that it is a very important thing for the human empire.

Apparently he wanted his successor to take it out.

A machine? Or a captured self?

Liam narrowed his eyes. He looked at the others, but no one could give an explanation. Under the light of this secret room, the kings whispered, and they always reached a consensus. Everyone understood what Lothar said. Painful, since the emperor thinks this X is very important, it means that their successors have the responsibility to save the mysterious X from the kingdom of Dark Blade.

After all, this is the unfinished business of great people.

But this requires a detailed plan...especially going deep into the core of Dark Blade's rule to rescue. This will undoubtedly use the hidden deep spies that the empire has gone through all kinds of hardships to install in the federal area. This is a very difficult task. A risky decision, but judging from the current situation, the human empire needs to take risks to find hope, otherwise their future is doomed to be bleak in the face of aggressive undead.

And finally this, a sealed scroll.

Jaina carefully explored the last quaint scroll with her magic power. She recognized the text on it. It was the troll language, and it was also the troll language of ancient times. With a few simple words, it outlined the effect of a sealing magic. Before opening this scroll, no one can know what kind of secret is sealed in this scroll.

Do you want to open it?

Jaina looked at the others, but Majesty Faol stopped her with a hand.

No! This scroll was left by Lothar to his true successor...

The old pope took the mysterious scroll and put it in his hand. While being touched by the warm holy light, he closed his eyes and whispered:

Lothar told me that it was handed over to him by a dangerous martyr. It is said that it could save his life in the most critical moment, but Lothar had already made up his mind at that time... He thought he used This stuff is a waste.

So, only the second emperor is eligible to use it?

King Drake, who has been silent all this time, the young man who became the King of Kul Tiras not long ago with the support of the four major families of Kul Tiras, rubbed his chin. He stayed on the scroll for a moment, and finally, he looked back at his sister, who shook his head at him:

No, the ring is just these three things.

Well, a gift.

Alsace looked at the silver-gray scripture in his hand, then at the map in front of him and the scroll in the Pope's hand:

A responsibility, and a guarantee...it really looks like the emperor's style of doing things, and it's impeccable.

And what about this ring?

Jaina looked at the brass ring in her hand. This magical storage ring is not too expensive, but judging from the degree of wear and tear of the ring, it must be a beloved item often used by Emperor Lothar, maybe Lothar After all, it is made in a style that was popular hundreds of years ago.

From this point of view, this ordinary ring also has a strong symbolic meaning. If it is placed in an auction or on the black market, there must be many people who want to get it with all their might.

Give it to me.

Arthas reached out and took the ring from Jaina. He looked at the others and shrugged:

Don't look at me like that, brothers, I know what you're thinking, but don't worry, this is not my challenge to the throne of emperor, I just want to return it to those who are truly qualified to inherit it. ... Varian Wrynn, who I regard as my elder brother, was raised by Emperor Lothar as if he were his own child, and he is the most qualified to inherit this relic.

The king of Lordaeron flicked his fingers and emphasized his tone:

For us, Lord Lothar is a noble emperor, but to Brother Varian, Lord Lothar is more like his father...

But when the emperor died in battle, I didn't see him... Maybe he has given up all his responsibilities.

The youngest prince, Tanred Proudmoore, complained, but was glared at by his brother and sister. The angry eyes made Tanred Proudmoore shrink his head uncontrollably, then walked aside and stopped talking up.

One more thing, Your Majesty Faol.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. Jaina gave Alsace a wink. The latter immediately coughed lightly, took out a simple silver ring from his arms, and placed it in front of the Pope. He looked around, lowered his voice:

Your Majesty, this is the spoils we got after a difficult battle in Northrend when we encountered the King of the Dark Blade... There is one thing in it, I think you should take a look.

Um?

The somewhat tired Faol blinked his eyes, he instinctively felt that Alsace, who escaped from death, might have brought him a trouble...

what?

Asked by Faol, Arthas breathed a sigh of relief and said:

This ring was taken from Tyrion's finger after I cut off his wrist. There are complicated ciphertexts on it, but with the help of dragon friends, we opened it. There are many wicked materials in the ring, and we have destroyed the profane things, but there is one thing, even the well-read dragon queen, the source of it is unknown.

While speaking, with the help of Jaina, Arthas took out a black box from the silver ring, placed it carefully in front of Faol, and explained:

Since this thing is carried by Tyrion, it proves that it must be very important to the Dark Blade King, and I can feel... this thing has a great connection with the Shadow Demon Sword in his hand.

Snapped

The box was opened, and there was a burst of darkness. A deep and strange dark force rushed out of the box, causing the other kings to react immediately, but the next moment, the Pope, who had widened his eyes, stretched out his finger and recited Reading the sacred scriptures, between the beating of the golden holy light, the dark power was pressed back into the box.

It wasn't until this time that everyone could clearly see what was placed in the box.

It was a gem-like fragment, like a corner cut from a complete gem. It can be seen that the cutter was very skilled, and even these scraps did not destroy the internal structure of the gem.

And these few scattered gems themselves are like a universe containing the entire stars. In the dark light, there are light spots of stars dancing in it. Undoubtedly, it was the most beautiful treasure that everyone had ever seen, but the hopelessly dark aura emanating from it meant that the gem itself was not simple.

I've seen it!

Faol stared at the pieces of precious stones in the box, and said in a serious and deep voice:

A few years ago, in Lordaeron, I saw it! This is the loot obtained by the great knight Mograine in the Burning Plains War. He once showed it to me, but the gem is not just so small, it is It's a fist-sized gem... How did it fall into Tyrion's hands? And it was cut into pieces like this... Wait, Arthas, you just said that these gems and the Dark Blade Is the magic sword in the king's hand related?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Alsace nodded cautiously:

I have been in close contact with the sharp magic sword that can call out the dark sword shadow to attack the opponent. I can feel that the breath from the blade is exactly the same as the fragments of these gems. That sword should be made of this piece. Forged from the body of the gem.

The Holy Light is above.

Hearing this news, His Majesty Faol closed his eyes in pain, and drew a religious symbol on his chest:

If I had carefully observed the dark gem sent by the great knight Mograine, maybe I would have been able to see its threat. If we had destroyed it in advance, maybe the Dark Blade King would not have obtained the dark weapon , Lothar will not... This is all my fault, Holy Light, please forgive me.

Wait, Your Majesty, do you think that this gem is similar to the Heart of Wrath that the Prophet used to help us?

As the admiral of the navy who personally experienced the Battle of Northern Border, Drake stared at the dark gem in the box. After a while, he said to Fao who blamed himself:

Although the powers emitted are quite different, I can feel that maybe they come from the same source... I also have to ask the prophet about the heart of anger, and the prophet told me that it is ancestral to the Draenei Treasures, there are 7 pieces... Could this black gemstone be...

Faol closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and when he opened them, the old man's eyes were full of determination:

Then ask the Prophet to come here! Now, right now!
