Chapter 173: The Cage

Anduin has always had a question, that is, why the imperial family and the Holy See have engaged in a power confrontation that continues to this day. You must know that every pope of the Holy Light Holy See is a real demigod, and although the imperial family is strong and strong, and legendary powerhouses emerge in endlessly, but the weakness of the serious lack of top-notch combat power alone makes it absolutely impossible to take advantage of the repeated confrontations with the Holy Light Holy See.

However, the fact is that the high-pressure policy of the Holy Light Holy See is gradually relaxed, and it is obvious that this is certainly not a handout for the loser, but a bargaining chip for the winner.

The only tenet advocated by the various dogmas of the Holy Light is the supremacy of the Holy Light, to put it more ornally, this is to suppress desires/thoughts and fundamentally prevent the resurgence of the Twilight Holy See, but in fact, it is to avoid the rapid loss of popular faith. With the liberalization of policies and the active folk customs, some people who have seen the world of flowers and flowers naturally can't bear to go out of the church and stay away from the rules, resulting in the foundation of the faith of the Holy Light Holy See being eroded little by little, until it is impossible to clean up.

Not long ago, His Majesty the Pope agreed to Constantine to create the Holy See of the Sun, which was a consideration for finding another way, from the high-level confrontation alone, the Holy Light Holy See has lost the opportunity to recover the decline, in the face of the imperial royal family that is ready to take advantage of the victory, His Majesty the Pope has to fall outside the chessboard, and forced a demigod powerhouse to be so embarrassed, at least it is also the same level of existence, when Princess Eliza "returned safely", Anduin knew the existence of the black dragon princess Onexia through deep scanning.

Who would have thought that behind such a behemoth as the Holy Empire, there would be a dragon demigod.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Black Dragon Princess and His Majesty the Pope that the Holy Empire occupies a vast territory, even larger than the brave and warlike orc tribes.

Blackmore broke the sky and did not attract a vision from the sky, but the others were born with a sense of thunder, and looked at Eliza in a daze, and it was difficult to connect her with the Black Dragon Relic.

"I wonder if Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you satisfied with this answer?" Blackmore's tone was quite proud, but the legendary knight had no idea of being competitive at this time, his brows were tightly locked, and he struggled to judge whether what Blackmore said was true or false.

He has reached the level of the middle level of legend, has been for many years, has the opportunity to represent the Silver Fortress, to participate in the operation of the imperial capital, during which he has also been in contact with many royal figures, but he has never doubted the identity of the royal family, every time the royal family presses the Holy See, he is only a monarch The means are monstrous, forcing the Pope to bow his head, since the founding of the country, such results are numerous, and over time, everyone, including him, is accustomed to it, it seems that every generation of monarchs is not mediocre.

However, at this time, this is an extremely abnormal thing, no race can guarantee that there will be qualified successors from generation to generation, in the years when the Holy Empire has lasted to this day, many countries on the continent have changed a few stubbles, and many of the reasons for the destruction of the country are due to the body of the monarch, even the many clans of the orc tribe can't get rid of such a fate, but the Holy Empire is like a rock, regardless of the wind and rain, it can't be shocked at all, each generation of monarchs does not say that the blue is blue, but at least it can be held down steadily, The Holy See with demigods in charge.

If the elven royal family in ancient times could have such an excellent bloodline inheritance, it would never be the destruction of the family and country.

But if there is a black dragon princess behind the royal family, then all this can make sense, no matter who is the emperor, they can only become a puppet at the mercy of others, the new pope can inherit the power of the demigods, but in front of the old demigod of the black dragon princess, she can't make any waves, and the final result is naturally that the black dragon princess controls the entire holy empire, but for some unknown special reasons, neither fanfare nor leaving behind the scenes.

"It's kind of interesting."

Arthas laughed, as the so-called water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, the xenophobia of human beings is very terrifying, and when the identity of the black dragon princess is confirmed, he will be able to wave his army south, and at that time, his army of the dead will be the army of justice, and those who submit to the alien race will become the target of the crusade.

Blackmore's royal secrets, if not as good as charcoal in the snow, are definitely better than icing on the cake, Arthas really began to think about whether to spare his life, no matter what, a legendary high-level heartfelt lackey, there are not many in the world.

Arthas beckoned, and the unconscious Eliza automatically fell to the throne, and the frost dragon seemed to sense something, and its body shook suddenly, and the ghost light fluctuated again and again, looking at Eliza, showing a jealous movement.

Seeing this, others have to accept this reality even if they no longer want to believe it.

The mage group from Dalaran is okay, they have long known that the imperial family is hiding some earth-shattering secrets, and they are prepared, but most of those people in the Silver Fortress feel discouraged, especially the adjudicator Tuhat, who has been trained by the knight family since she was a child, and has been instilled with the concept of allegiance to the royal family and the empire every day, but suddenly, a certain news that can be called a fantasy has become an unavoidable fact, which is really difficult for her to accept.

Sonia was finally able to recover from Bolval's condition, and she was equally shocked by who Eliza really was, but it reminded her of what Anduin had said earlier.

"Anduin, did you already know?" Sonia asked in a low voice.

Anduin nodded slowly, smiling: "I was worried that after Blackmore was removed, I would become a thorn in the side of the royal family, but after today, there is no such concern." ”

"Then ......" Sonia looked at Arthas on the Frozen Throne, and stopped talking.

Anduin gently patted her shoulder and smoothed out her scattered hair: "There are some things that I haven't figured out, and now that I have figured it out, there is no way to stop it, it's a pity." ”

"What a pity?" Arthas asked with a funny look on his face, "It's a pity that I wasn't able to stop me from getting Frostmourn?" Don't you think it's too late to say that? ”

"It's too late."

Anduin admitted very calmly, he looked at Arthas, then at Frost Sorrow, and shook his head slightly, this look fell in the eyes of the legendary knight and others, like a loser, only a meaningless sigh of powerlessness.

Ignoring Anduin, Arthas asked Blackmore, "You have succeeded in piquing my interest, and if I am satisfied with the secret information about Dalaran, it is not impossible to spare your life!" ”

Blackmore's face was happy, but the faces of everyone in the mage group changed drastically.

In order to drive a nail in the upper echelons of the Empire, Dalaran spent a lot of thought, Blackmore, as a spy, has a lot of important information in his hands, if it is completely exposed, it will inevitably cause a major blow to the revival plan of the Magic Empire.

However, the many magic spells frozen in the air by the frost breath were still frozen in front of everyone at this time, and Kel'thugad and the psychic Noth could only keep glancing at Gianna, trying to take advantage of her special relationship with Arthas to save the situation, but Gianna was unmoved, and only stared at Arthas, and her blue eyes did not fluctuate.

"Gianna!"

As a last resort, Kel'thugad could only shout, Gianna didn't look at him, but said lightly: "My teacher and I are not involved in your restoration plan, and this hunt for Blackmore is just my battle trial, besides, you should know that my father is an admiral of the Holy Empire, and I have no reason to stop it." ”

All the magicians were speechless, Gianna not only has a special status, but also has a special status, Kel'thugad gritted his teeth in anger, but he was stunned that he couldn't force the order, don't look at the two of them are students of Antonidas, the chief mage of Dalaran, but the degree of attention from the teacher is extremely different.

As the highest-ranking magician in the field, psychic Noth had to stand up: "Prince Arthas, one more enemy is better than one more friend, at least for now, the Silver Fortress and Dalaran are separated from the north and south sides of the Holy Empire, you want to complete your ambitions, we also plan to revive the Empire, our goal is to get rid of the Holy Empire, why not just cooperate on this?" The personnel power here is complicated, and if the list of people in Dalaran is exposed, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Holy Empire, and it is better to suppress it for the time being, which will also help to destroy the Holy Empire. ”

"That's a good point."

Arthas nodded, but his expression was very disapproving: "Since I have this list, why can't I let the Holy Empire and Dalaran compete first?" Both of you will lose, but it can also save me a lot of effort, if you unite with Dalaran, there is a risk of raising tigers, there is already a lesson from those stupid elves, I don't want to give you a little room for development. ”

The rise of the Magic Empire can be described as an unprecedented existence, the particularity of magic, so that risks and opportunities coexist, as long as there is enough room for growth, Dalaran's magicians can develop to an extremely terrifying level in the shortest possible time, so Arthas would rather face the Holy Empire and Dalaran at the same time, rather than let the Magic Empire get a chance to sit big.

The psychic Noth was in a heavy mood, he thought that when Arthas mastered the Frost Sorrow, his personality would immediately become unpopular, but Arthas's current appearance was clearly completely in control of the legendary evil sword, and he could not impress the other party at all with his limited chips.

What to do?

Beads of sweat gradually spread on the forehead of psychic Noth, if the personnel list is completely exposed, years of business will be in vain, and there is no possibility of the Magic Empire rising.

But at this moment, Gianna, who had just rejected Kel'thugad, suddenly spoke, her voice crisp and calm, without any fluctuations: "Arthas, are you really ready to use the power of Frost's Sorrow to fulfill your long-cherished wish?" ”

Two blue eyes touched in the air.

Artha said calmly: "If you want to fulfill my long-cherished wish, using the Frost Sorrow is the only way, you have also seen, the Holy Empire not only has the Holy Light Pope on the surface, but also the Black Dragon Princess in secret, the two demigods exist, enough to crush everything, I once thought about challenging the demigod realm, but after all, it was too difficult, not to mention that if you want to win the Holy Empire steadily, it is necessary to unite with Dalaran or other external forces, I can't avoid the benefits of others, so I simply become the only butcher on the table. Whoever wants to meddle will have to pay the price he deserves. ”

The two looked at each other for a few seconds before Gianna said slowly: "Even so, you shouldn't be in such a hurry......"

"Huh?"

Arthas frowned, not understanding why Gianna said this, but Anduin on the side suddenly nodded and agreed: "It's true that you shouldn't be in such a hurry, if I had been more resolute at that time, maybe I would have been able to stop you, but it's a pity." ”

"Anduin, I didn't deal with you right away, just because you can talk crazy again and again." Arthas's face was gloomy, "Since you have become a loser, you should have the consciousness of a loser, and it is pointless to think of regret now!" ”

The legendary knight, who didn't want Blackmore to steal the limelight, took advantage of the situation and said: "Earl Anduin, His Royal Highness the Prince is magnanimous, so he didn't blame you for your previous offensive actions, but if you are still obsessed, be careful of others." ”

As he spoke, the legendary knight's gaze drifted to Sonia and Boval.

Fording and Marin, the trance-like adjudicator Tuhat, and the two legendary kobolds immediately guarded Anduin and the others, and the five legends appeared together, forcing the legendary knight to withdraw his gaze, but his tone did not back down at all: "Count Anduin, the one who knows the times is Junjie, your attitude is so lazy, if I were His Royal Highness the Prince, I would have turned my face a long time ago!" ”

Blackmore, who consciously saved the day, also came to the side of the Frozen Throne, looked proud, and asked with a soft smile: "Count Anduin, you don't need me to tell the story of the main island of the north and the sorrow of frost, do you?" See this frost dragon? This is a real demigod! Even it will surrender to the sorrow of frost, to His Royal Highness Prince Alsace. ”

The questioning of several people did not affect Anduin's expression, he just looked at Arthas's blue eyes, and said with great regret: "You are too anxious, many things have not come to light, so you happily picked up the frost sorrow, Arthas, don't you feel the slightest inappropriateness?" ”

"Wrong?" Arthas snorted coldly, only when Anduin was dying, he clenched the sorrow of frost, and patted the frost dragon again, the feeling of sitting firmly on the frozen throne, like a king in the world, there is no more proper feeling than this, to say the only strange place, that is, frost appeared in his arm, Arthas didn't care at first, thinking that this was a normal phenomenon of picking up frost sorrow, but at this time, half of his body was hung with white frost and snow, and even his body felt a little stiff.

This is...... What's the situation?

According to Titan's vision, shouldn't the Pearl Magic Stone completely bear the negative effects of Frost Sorrow for itself? Even if he had picked up Frost Sorrow early, it shouldn't have been like this!

Arthas frowned, shook off a little bit of hoarfrost, he carefully felt the pearl magic stone and frost sorrow, and suddenly found an extremely serious problem, the pearl magic stone did bear the negative impact of frost sorrow for himself as the titan expected, however, it only endured most of it, his body was still inevitably affected by the extreme cold element, but the speed became extremely slow.

Arthas didn't want to be a half-human, half-ghost being, so he hurriedly controlled the pearl magic stone and frost sorrow, trying to slow down the erosion to a minimum, but the serious problems that followed made him completely panic.

According to normal calculations, using the Pearl Magic Stone to control the Abyssal Breath in Frost Sorrow has already mastered half of the control, even if he does it in advance, the Pearl Magic Stone cannot fully control the Abyss Breath, plus the Titan Mark that Varian and Boval entered for Frost Sorrow, it is enough for him to gain more than half of the control, and then control Frost Sorrow without any burden.

However, when Arthas looked closely, he was shocked to find that there was no Titan mark in Frost's sorrow at all!

In other words, even though the Pearl Orb slows down the negative erosion for him, Arthas has become a slave to Frostmourn like the other heirs, rather than the master of Frostmourn, and can use Frostmourn to do things like command an army of the undead and command the Frost Dragon.

However, there is an insurmountable difference between slaves and masters.

Arthas became a slave, and the frozen island was his cage......
