483 The Past as the Lich King
Beginning with her own becoming a paladin of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Arthas speaks of a forbidden relationship with Gianna; He talks about his surprise when he first learns of the Scourge of the Dead, and his heartache when he sees his subjects infected with the plague in Stratholme. After all else failed to save the uninfected citizens of Stratholme, she was desperate when she had to give the order to slaughter the city for Lordaeron.
She then begins with the slaughter of Stratholme, and how she fell into the demon's trap step by step, and finally pulled out Frostmourn in Northrend and was completely controlled by the magic sword.
In the end, in a calm but sad tone, she told the story of her father's murder and the king's murder, and the undead scourge that swept through the entire continent of Azeroth. And she herself ended up in front of the Frozen Throne, under the righteous sanctions of the Azeroth coalition led by Tirioferdin.
“。。。 On my journey back to the Light, my father pushed me into a black hole of space. By the time I woke up, I was already here. Arthas finished her story, looking at Carl quietly.
"If you think that an evil person like me deserves to be punished, then please disperse the fire of my soul so that you can kill me once and for all. If you want me to pay for what I've done, then please insult me as much as you want! I will atone for the sins I have committed! Arthas added.
However, Carl and Richelieu's reaction left her puzzled. The two of them looked at her with expressions of 'it's worth drestling with for so long', which made Arthas wonder if she had fallen into the lair of an evil organization again.
"You ... Aren't you afraid? I... is a Lich King who has slaughtered millions of living beings... Arthas said to the two of them uneasily.
"So what?" Richelieu asked listlessly.
She had taken Arthas's words as a story, and if it weren't for the coffee, Richelieu would have fallen asleep on the table by now.
Alsace's surprise was not pretended, she asked in a daze, "You... Aren't you going to do something about me? ”
"What to do? Kill you after humiliating you in every possible way? Wouldn't that be a disappointment to your father's heart? People have paid the price for your daughter. can make a person travel through a universe, and the price that this kind of super boss asks for is definitely not low. And now you are looking for death and life, are you worthy of your father, who paid a heavy price? Richelieu asked mercilessly.
"Well, Sister Li, don't worry." Karl stopped Richelieu.
He asked Arthas, "Miss Arthas, what is the plague of the undead that you have been struggling with?" What are the characteristics of this plague? How is it transmitted? Is there a cure possible? If it's artificial, how? ”
Faced with Carl's question, Arthas thought carefully and said, "Plague of natural disasters, how do you say this?" It was created by the former Dalaran archmage Kel'thugad using necromancy, and the specific characteristics of the manifestation are that people will die painfully after being infected, and then the corpse will become an undead spirit again and continue to infect others. If it spreads, food, water, wounds, etc., will be the route of infection. There is no cure for the plague of natural disasters, and there is only one way to die if you are infected with it. If I put it in, I remember what plague pot did Kel'thugad make? And the Plague Barrel. The plague pot is boiled directly, so that the air is filled with the smell of natural plagues. The Plague Barrel is mainly used in battle, just place it directly on the catapult and smash it against the opposite side. ”
"And what exactly is the undead?" Karl asked again.
This question made Arthas a little embarrassed, and she frowned slightly and asked, "Undead?" There are many types of undead, from the lowest-level skeletons to the highest-level Death Knights, Frost Dragons, Lichs, Banshees, Ghouls, Flesh Giants, Stitchers, and more. Specifically, Mr. Karl, which one do you want to know? ”
"So much? So what is the most basic main battle unit? Karl asked her.
"The most basic? The most basic are zombies and skeletons, which are the most basic cannon fodder. Arthas replied immediately.
"Listen to Miss Arthas, you yourself said that you were once their supreme leader, the Lich King? So what exactly did you rely on to command these armies of the dead? You must know that to command a force in battle, the means of communication are inevitable. If there were no communications, then this force would be absolutely in disarray. Karl asked with interest.
"It's the Helm of Domination, and the Helm of Domination has greatly enhanced the power of my soul, so it is not a problem for me to control thousands of undead at all. Every one of my will will echoes in the minds of the undead, and they must obey my will, or the pain from the soul will make them miserable. Arthas replied with a bad face.
Carl's questioning reminded her of the killings she had committed as the Lich King, and that was something she was trying to forget.
"And Miss Arthas, where is the Helm of Domination you are talking about? Also, what about the armor and weapons you wore before? Karl asked.
"I think the pile of metal wreckage on the spot where I landed must be the equipment I have on me." Arthas recalled.
"Traveling through the black hole of time and space, even an artifact can't withstand the tearing of the turbulence of time and space. I was able to reach the other world safely, and I was already blessed by my father's spirit in heaven. Arthas said with emotion.
"Miss Arthas, since your Scourge of the Dead are all dead, you are now..." Carl asked suddenly in a playful tone.
The meaning behind him is obvious, since you are the leader of an army of dead men, then what are you a living person? Or a dead man?
"Me? I'm a Death Knight by profession.,But I don't have any magic to prove myself right now.,I guess I lost it when I traveled through the black hole of time and space... I don't have any strength now other than the physical qualities and characteristics that the Death Knight himself has given me... Alsace said lonely.
"Death Knight? What kind of profession is it? Carl became interested in this again.
"Death Knights are all transformed from living beings, and there are many races, and all warriors who have great power to be chosen by the Lich King, regardless of race, gender, or previous profession, can be transformed and trained into Death Knights. That's a brief description, Mr. Carr. Would you like to hear me more about all the Death Knights? Arthas asked.
