Drake wasn't much of a mage, he didn't have that talent, he was just an ordinary warrior, and he didn't even have his father's ability to communicate with the water elemental. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But Drake, who had traveled long distances from one route to another, did not lack insight, and instead of answering Alsace directly, he asked, "Didn't you say I was dead?" Do the dead still need to make such a choice? ”
Arthas smiled slightly, and that look made Drake feel that what was standing in front of him was not a child, but a demagogic demon. Arthas said, "I think you've probably heard of necromancy...... If not, it doesn't matter, it's literal to bring the dead back to life. ”
Alsacton paused and continued: "Of course, what I must tell you is that if you choose to survive, although after the resurrection, there is almost no change from when you were alive, but I hope you do not tell anyone else, not even your family, about this. First, they may not be able to accept the fact that you are already a dead man, and secondly...... I also don't want anyone to know that the prince of Lordaeron uses necromancy. ”
Although improvements have been made to the resurrection methods of the Death Knights, the resurrected Death Knights of Arthas and Kel'thugad will not have the same rancid body as Tyrone Bloodseeker does. But after all, without vitality, the Death Knight's body will become stiff, and his skin will become sickly pale; With the frequent use of runic power, the eyes will gradually become the same as the High Elves, emitting a blue glow. As for the other changes...... Arthas wondered if the Death Knight had the ability to produce offspring...... However, there was no such experiment at the time, and perhaps he could get the answer from Drake.
Drake certainly had a stomach full of questions, but Arthas refused to answer them all. "You've got to make a choice, Drake." The little prince explained why, "If your choice is death, then there is no need for me to reveal more information to you. Seeing Drake's hesitant look, Arthas didn't forget to remind him, "Drake, I don't think you have much time. The time I agreed with your father is almost up, and in a few minutes, when he enters this room, he will see that his son is dead or healed, and you must make a choice as soon as possible. ”
After Arthas finished speaking, he looked at this person who had almost become a relative of himself with great interest...... Soul. In fact, as Frost Grief said, it is much easier to directly transform Drake into a Death Knight. But Arthas didn't want to do that, instead hoping that Drake would make his own choice.
Because of their belief in the Light, most humans can't accept turning into a necromancy, even the highest level of undead like the Death Knight. In the original stream of time, after bringing Duke Boval back to Icecrown Fortress, Arthas offered to transform him into a Death Knight to save him from suffering.
Perhaps because of the nostalgia for the identity of Prince Lordaeron, Arthas at that time had a completely different attitude towards the Duke of Berval and Dranos Sarufar. For the latter, he did not hesitate to use the orc as an experiment, and took complete control of his mind.
But for the Duke of Berval, Arthas gave them the same choice as he did now with Drake. It's not that Arthas respects their people/rights, but because he doesn't want them to follow the same path as himself, where there is no choice.
Arthas had recounted his rise from a noble prince to the Lich King countless times, but he came to the conclusion that he had no choice. At the time of Stratholme, Arthas did not kill all the townspeople indiscriminately, as Uther and the others believed.
By the time Alsace arrived in Stratholme, the plague-cursed food had already arrived in the city for two days via Andorhar. From previous experience, Arthas had seen with his own eyes that after consuming this food, in just a few minutes, the living would become undead.
Before Arthas's army attacked, the citizens were only conscious of the tricks of the demon king Melganis, and all the manifestations of these zombies were under the control of this cunning demon. However, Uther and the others were deceived by this illusion, believing that there was still room for salvation for these people, and even Alsace's lover, Gianna, was unwilling to support the prince's decision to slaughter the city.
In fact, after Uther and Gianna left, Arthas had ordered his army to kill only those who had obvious zombie features, but sadly, the entire population of Stratholme soon attacked Lordaeron's army - they had already become part of the Scourge and were now only stripped of their disguises.
From then on, Arthas embarked on a path of being bewitched by Naozu, and finally ruined his country. In fact, from the moment he pulled out Frostmourn, Arthas was completely controlled by Neozu, and it wasn't until Frostmourn woke up that he was able to untie him.
At that time, Arthas was only thinking about killing himself - because he not only destroyed his own country, but even just summoned a powerful demon from the Burning Legion - "Polluter" Akmund with Kel'thugad, and this guy was about to destroy the entire world of Azeroth where Arthas lived.
However, Arthas was eventually persuaded by Kel'thugad, who not only kept the hope of restoring everything to its original state, but also tried his best to sabotage Akmund's plan to destroy the world. In the period that followed, Arthas not only succeeded in instigating Illidan's betrayal, but also used words to provoke Akmund, the impulsive commander of the Burning Legion, in order to prove his strength, rushed into the camp of a group of Loa gods alone, and after killing several Loa gods in a row, because of his recklessness, he was reduced to ashes by the explosion of a large number of Night Elf souls gathered at the root of the World Tree Nodashir.
In the face of the Scourge attack, Uther chose to let the plague spread rather than turn his back on his own rules; Gianna's choice was to take as many of her subjects as possible and cross west to the continent of Kalimdor to escape the undead legions; And Arthas's father, King Terenus, chose to expel the crazy mysterious man from the palace - the Alliance's fleet suffered heavy losses in the Second Orc War, and the Kingdom of Kul Tiras withdrew from the Alliance, even if all the ships of the Eastern Kingdom were gathered, it would not be possible to take all the people of Lordaeron with them - the Minehir family would never abandon any of their subjects, and even if it was destroyed, the king of Lordaeron would die with his people.
