"According to the collected ancient books, under this frozen ruins, there is a huge space of refuge, but that disaster destroyed not only the city, but also countless lives, the abyss demons found a refuge, with their lives for sacrifice, it is said that that day, the sky above the entire city appeared a black cloud of resentment, the demon lords summoned the black cloud of resentment, and combined with the extremely cold power of the Lord God of Chaos, they jointly created the evil sword - Frost Sorrow."

Arthas's solemn voice echoed in the deep tunnel, the sound waves passed, and the torches on the walls burned automatically, but the flame was not ordinary, like a blue ghost fire, swaying endlessly, as if to confirm his words, when the flame burned, it made a whistling sound, as if it was crying bitterly about the tragic situation at that time.

When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to take it lightly, this evil ancient ruins, there are a lot of unknown existences hidden, all the way, you can always see scattered broken limbs and remnants on the road, many of which obviously do not belong to human structures, recalling the deformed monsters at war with Ferdin, fully indicating that this relatively safe passage is still full of dangers.

In order to warn in advance, Anduin naturally let the system run at full power, scanning the surrounding space, but under the suppression of the evil aura of frost sorrow, the scanning range was greatly reduced, and it was not even as good as Eliza's keen hearing, even the slightest sound could not escape her ears, with combat preparation, it was naturally easy to kill ordinary enemies, but this situation did not make everyone's emotions relax a little, just because their opponents were very evil.

Who would have thought that under the icy and snowy ancient city, there are actually many huge spiders, more precisely, spider deceased who have come back from the dead, their bodies have long been decayed, but the evil sword breath has resurrected them who are half spiders and half ghosts, obviously there are no food resources in this area, but these rotten spiders still follow their nature, and use those ghouls wandering aimlessly in the passage as food, spit out strong spider silk of unknown materials, and hang the ghouls who are struggling on their respective cobwebs.

Sensing the approach of Anduin and others, the decaying spider with a huge size comparable to a millstone sent a signal similar to a demonstration, it could feel the strength of Anduin and others, but in order to protect its own food, it opened its teeth and claws as much as possible, trying to scare away those creatures that made it salivate, and then, it was pierced through the head by Tuhat, the adjudicator with a knight's spear, and as for those ghouls bound by spider silk, they were also eliminated by Anduin and others one by one.

This encounter, which ended in a short period of time, also made everyone realize an extremely grim truth.

Their route may be different from that of Fordin.

The reason is simple, this spider spirit must have been rooted here for many years, and they have not encountered a fork in the road along the way, and it is obvious that Fording knows another safe passage to the Frozen Throne.

Arthas's expression became a little more solemn again: "The situation is a bit bad, I only know that this is a way to reach the Frozen Throne, and the road is full of gathering areas for dead spiders, if you are careful and don't alarm the Crypt Lord, we should be able to pass through the danger zone smoothly, Anduin, what do you think?" ”

"For the time being, I can only take one step at a time." Anduin shrugged, the harsh reality left them with not many options, "If you encounter a junction to another area on the way, then decide the course of action according to the situation,"

Everyone agreed, set off again, with Eliza in charge of guarding, two legendary powerhouses in front of the way, the general spider spirit is not an opponent at all, three or two can break through the obstacles, and as everyone goes deep into the hinterland, the spider dead are gradually dense, in some areas with huge space, the number of spiders has reached double digits, in order to ensure the speed of travel, Anduin and others also participate in the battle.

Although Anduin's surface strength is the lowest, but the [Dark Word Spell Annihilation] he released casually, the attack effect is extraordinarily excellent, one after another shadow lightning, crackling and bombarding the huge spider, before it can make a counterattack, it was blasted into charcoal in the continuous trembling, although the speed is far inferior to the two legendary powerhouses, but the momentum is extraordinarily grand.

Compared with Anduin's calmness, Arthas, who fought in close quarters with a long sword, was inevitably a little embarrassed, and he had been using the Warhammer Holy Light for revenge, and suddenly changed his weapon, far from being at ease, and as a result, he encountered an opponent of the same rank who was not weak, even if the Holy Light ability restrained the dead man's dead qi, it really took a lot of effort, when he finally killed a dead spider, Anduin's side killed two.

Arthas didn't care about such a gap, but Eliza, who had a grudge against him, said coldly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you still remember that you swore in front of everyone at Kalia's engagement banquet that you would protect everything with a sharp sword, why does it seem that your swordsmanship is not very good now, it takes a lot of effort to kill a spider, and even Anduin, who is one rank below you, can't compare, could it be that the legendary knight Uther didn't teach you well?" ”

Arthas didn't get angry, he just quietly wiped the stain on the sword, he ignored Eliza, and instead praised Anduin: "This shadow lightning and sacred fire of yours are abilities that can only be learned by fourth-order archbishops, Anduin, it seems that the Holy Light really cares for you!" Ordinary shadow priests often spend years in order to master the ability of the Shadow Word, and you have completely mastered the essence of the Shadow Word at a young age, so it is no wonder that His Majesty the Pope will rest assured that the followers of a domain will be put in your command. ”

Anduin didn't want to waste time, so he said a few words of understatement to himself, and Eliza, who was neglected, took this opportunity to say angrily: "Your Royal Highness, instead of having the heart to praise others, you should think about how to improve your strength, don't get too far behind in the end, and have no face to win over others." ”

Although Eliza did not name her, everyone knew that she was talking about Anduin, Arthas wants to realize his ambitions, helpers are naturally indispensable, as the so-called son of heaven and courtiers, Arthas must establish his own personal connections, and gradually replace the old ministry left by Terenus, and the talented Anduin is undoubtedly the most important part, his significance to Alsace is even higher than the meaning of the old lord to Terenus, so he also intends to win over Anduin's princess, Without hesitation, he began to sow discord.

Arthas's expression didn't change much, he just glanced at Eliza, and said lightly: "The top priority is to rescue His Excellency Ferding and the old fox Marin, without further ado, continue to act." ”

As soon as the words fell, Arthas took the lead in setting off, the legendary knight who was responsible for protecting him, and he should follow, Anduin did not improve his relationship with Eliza because of a few words of praise that were not light or heavy, and immediately rushed up with Sonia and others, but it was the chubby panda man Zhou Zhuo, who fell at the end, and mentioned a few words to Eliza: "Although the evil spirit that is full of this place suppresses my feelings, there is still a strong uneasiness in my heart, Princess Eliza, this operation is extremely dangerous, I hope you'll change your style a little bit. ”

Eliza was noncommittal about the tour scholar's proposal, and walked with her head held high, Zhou Zhuo didn't know if she listened to it, so she could only shake her head and follow.

The rest of the way, moving smoothly, the two legendary powerhouses were like bulldozers, running over the defense line set by the spider dead, so that Anduin and the others did not have to move, during this time, Eliza also remained silent, and the atmosphere of the whole team gradually improved, until a hub hall appeared in front of everyone.

After a not-so-difficult battle, the spiders entrenched in the hall were cleared, and two entrances appeared in front of everyone, Arthas knew that one of them could lead directly to the Frozen Throne, but the other could directly merge with Fordin, especially the orientation marker on the guide stone, which happened to be on the same side as this path, Anduin advocated finding Fordin and the old fox first, but Arthas had a different opinion.

"If you suddenly change your route, the biggest problem is your own safety, you have also seen, this underground ruin is not peaceful, even if there are two legendary powerhouses, we are gradually feeling the pressure, if we encounter the existence of a strong Crypt Lord on the way, not only will the rescue time be delayed, our safety will also become an important issue."

Arthas's firm gaze swept over everyone, "Moreover, we can roughly deduce the direction of Lord Fordin, through the words of the old fox Marin, it shows that they have arrived at the Frozen Throne, and for some reason, they have to flee into the passage, then the distance between them and the Frozen Throne should not be too far, so I propose that instead of taking risks, it is better to choose a small detour, in contrast, not only will not delay much time, but it is even possible to find Lord Ferding and them in advance." ”

I have to say that Arthas's proposal is very reasonable, and the main question now is which area Fording and the old fox are trapped in, Anduin asked the system in advance if he could use the divination ability of the kobold diviner, but the result was unsatisfactory, the island was cursed by the elemental god and the abyss demon, shielding all fate from prying eyes, even if the system urged it to no avail.

The only thing that can provide guidance at the moment is the guiding stone in Anduin's hand, the arrows formed by the points of light, which are not far from the direction of the unknown passage, and if you are lucky, you don't have to go to the end to find Fordin and Marin, otherwise, as Arthas said, not only can you not find anyone, but you may even get yourself into it.

"Humph!"

A cold snort floated out of Eliza's nose, "Arthas, even if what you said makes sense, have you taken into account Count Storm's problem?" This ancient city was originally staying on the main island in the north, so it couldn't fly out on its own, right? Besides, it's true that Bolval is sitting on the Frozen Throne, but can you be sure that after coming into contact with Fordin and Marin, Bolval is asleep or sleeping, or waiting for prey like you to take the bait? If we really do what you say, we will be in danger of our lives, and can there be a more dangerous existence on this island than the Count of Storm, who holds the sorrow of frost in his hand? ”

Eliza, as the princess of the Empire, also knows the secrets about the main island in the north, and at the same time, the imperial family also senses that the three knight bloodlines of the Silver Fortress have ulterior motives for Frost Sorrow, otherwise, how could Varian and Bovar become inheritors one after another, and Arthas, who has a great future, took the initiative to apply for the place to take over Frost Sorrow!

The Imperial Family, represented by Eliza, did not know the news of the Titan's awakening, but it was precisely because of various suspicions that the Imperial Imperial Family began to carry out secret operations against the Silver Fortress, and even allowed all parties to infiltrate the Silver Fortress. As part of this adventure, Eliza not only wants to prevent Arthas from learning about the royal secrets, but also wants to find out about Anduin and Arthas.

Her words were not nonsense, but also a reasonable judgment based on the existing situation, because no one knew what had happened on this gloomy island.

Arthas frowned, normally, he was reluctant to compete with Eliza, but the other party's rhetoric seriously violated his will, and His Royal Highness the prince at this time thought that it was necessary for him to suppress the majesty of the imperial princess: "Since I decided to become the heir of Frost Sorrow, I have begun to learn the accurate way to take this path, I can definitely guarantee that everyone can walk to the vicinity of the Frozen Throne safe and sound, in addition, the current situation is very serious, this floating island keeps flying to Stormwind Town, If we spend a lot of time looking for His Excellency Fordin, the consequences can be imagined. ”

"You mean that we abandon the rescue operation and go straight to the Frozen Throne?" Eliza maliciously misrepresents Arthas's true intentions.

"No!" Arthas straightened his back, his body as sharp as a sword, "We should split up our men to find Lord Fording and the old fox Marlin when we are sure that we can fight to the death, although this method may put the two of them in danger, but it will have a chance to prevent the disaster from spreading to Stormwind." ”

Eliza sneered, raised her hand and pointed straight to the planned passage: "According to what you say, let's just divide our troops into two ways, you can go straight to the frozen throne, and we will go to find Fording and Marin first, hoping that His Royal Highness the righteous and awe-inspiring prince can hold out until we meet smoothly!" ”

Arthas's face sank like water, he no longer paid attention to Eliza, his burning eyes looked directly at Anduin, and said in a deep voice, "Anduin, I want you to listen to me. ”

Anduin asked rhetorically, "Arthas, how long will it take to reach the Frozen Throne according to your plan?" ”

Arthas was unhappy that he couldn't get Anduin's support directly, but he still calculated the result carefully: "About an hour." ”

Call!

In front of everyone, Anduin breathed a sigh of relief, and just when everyone was puzzled, he explained the reason: "From the landing to the present, the speed of this floating island is constant, almost equal to the speed of the flying scroll, that is to say, the time for the floating island to fly to Stormwind Town is at least four hours, judging by the scale of this trail, we can fully spare enough time to find Grandpa Ferding and the old fox Marin first, after all, only they know what happened on the Frozen Throne." ”

Hearing this, Arthas and Eliza's expressions showed completely different changes, Anduin's refusal was completely beyond his expectations, and Eliza's smug smile was like a silver needle piercing her heart, and her anger rose suddenly, Arthas said coldly: "In this case, let's follow Princess Eliza's plan, we will divide into two ways, and I hope there will be a time to meet." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Arthas turned and walked towards the passage he was familiar with......
