Chapter 21: If Life Deceives You
Arthas has always been one of the saddest characters in the game in Mochi's mind.
"There was only darkness before my eyes."
These are the words of Arthas when the Icecrown Fortress fell.
Mochi had never been able to understand this sentence in the past, but after he learned about this secret history of the kingdom of Lordaeron, Moqi truly understood the sorrow in Arthas's heart.
Life is cruel to Alsace.
As a young man, Arthas received nine years of education in Lordaeron's compulsory education of the Light, and he believed in the unswerving love between knights and ladies, and he also regarded the fulfillment of his father's desired goals as the whole meaning of life.
However, reality dealt a heavy blow to Alsace, who had just set foot in society.
That day, under the old oak tree of Stratholme, the girl cried and said to him, fairy tales are all lies, and Prodmore is not your angel. Then, Arthas watched as his beloved girl threw herself into the arms of an orc. (See "Lost in Love Between the Lich King and Worldsa" by Gianna Proudmoore).
From that day on, he seemed to be a different person, working day and night to completely eliminate evil, and his forehead was crawling all over his forehead at a young age. But even so, his most respected mentor Uther still couldn't understand him: "Comrade Xiao, don't mess around! It is important to purge evil, but it is necessary to do a good job of internal unity with the comrades of the Silver Hand and to do a good job of publicizing the public opinion of the Minehir regime in front of the people of Lordaeron, this is the proper attitude for progress! ”
Therefore, Moch could not imagine how the young prince would feel when Arthas returned to Lordaeron and saw his father holding his pet dog high in front of him, repeating to a pet dog what had been said to him back then—
"My Bella, from the day you were brought to me, the whole forest of Lordaeron whispered the name: My good dog Bella...... One day, my life will come to an end. And you, you will be crowned the first Canine King of Lordaeron! ”
So, Alsace cannot forgive the world.
When Arthas resolutely put on the Frozen Crown, he didn't want a cold throne.
All he has to do is to ...... this cruel society Yes! No, it's the world...... It is revenge on this cruel world.
His heart is cold and barren, without the slightest warmth, so he will always be a solitary tyrant who draws his sword against the moon on the Northrend Icefield, and such a king is destined to be overthrown by his people......
Returning to reality, Yamen-Bonte's video tells the history of Alsace's "entrepreneurship" and begins to tell another story about artifacts-
"And the artifact I'm going to introduce to you next dates back to the Second War. Tulayan led the Silver Hand in a valiant battle at Draenor, where they discovered the artifact beneath a fortress burning with hellish flames. Upon their return to Azeroth, the Coalition forces entrusted the artifact to His Majesty Terenus-Minarhir for safekeeping. ”
"After Arthas committed the unpardonable sin, Uther, the new leader of the Silver Hand, had to destroy the artifact to prevent it from being used by Arthas to resurrect the evil Lich King Kel'thugad. But the power of this artifact is too powerful, no matter how many times it will be destroyed, it can repair itself, and in desperation, it can only say that the artifact fragments are sealed in all corners of the seven kingdoms. ”
"And outsider, you have proved with your blood that you are not a sinister person at heart, and as you have seen, that iron door can only be broken in the face of the blood of true goodness and bravery."
"Outsider, you've proven yourself."
"Now, let me deliver the relics of the former king to you—"
A flash of blue light flashed, and a gorgeous treasure chest appeared out of thin air in front of the huge crystal cluster. At the same time, it seemed that the crystal's energy was running out, and the projection of Yamen-Bont began to flicker.
"May the light shine on your path, and may your soul always be as clean as ever......"
With that last sentence, the image in mid-air vanished into thin air. Mochi re-lit the fire fold, and the huge hedron in front of him lost its luster and turned into a dull ordinary stone. Whenever Mochi sees a piece of history and the passing of his predecessors, he always feels a little lost in his heart.
He didn't rush to open the treasure chest at his feet, but knocked a small piece from the growing crystal bush and threw it into the package. This was done in honor of Amen-Bonth, and secondly, because he felt that the crystal should be expensive, and maybe it could be sold for a large price if he met someone who knew the goods.
"Now comes the most exciting unboxing session!" Mochi said excitedly, "If only the 'left hand, healing' was there." ”
"Left Hand, Healing" is the Blood Elf Priest in the Mochi Guild, and a member of their "Tannery Seven" group of WeChat friends, and is a well-known unboxing expert on the server. She and the other person in the "Tannery Seven" 'Right Hand, Yan Burst' are husband and wife in reality, and the people in the guild will joke with "Right Hand, Yan Burst" when they encounter such a thing as opening the box: "Bang Ye, please borrow your wife to use it, open a box!" ”
Faced with this situation, as a fiery fire right-hander, Yan Bang will plant the flag without saying a word, vowing to fight to the death with the African player who dares to covet his girlfriend's "red crisp hand".
"Of course, my wife can only open the box for me, and she wants to open all the good things for you, so why should I go?"
Speaking of which, I really miss these guild comrades. If there's one thing Mochi doesn't like as a fan of the game, it's not being able to venture out into this world with his six hardcore comrades...... If he could venture with them, Moqi was confident that he could irreversibly and devastatingly alter the terrain of Azeroth within a year.
Thinking wildly in his head, Mo Qi's hands were not idle, and he couldn't wait to open the cloisonné enamel box in front of him.
There were two things in the chest, the first thing that caught Mochi's attention was a glowing golden fragment, which Mochi studied for a while, and it seemed to be a fragment of a sword. But this sword was different from the artifact-level swords that Mo Qi was familiar with, and the fragments gave people a warm and hot feeling. But it's not a fragment of Ember Bringer, nor is it like the Sword of Valagarh, let alone evil swords like Stumka, Warbreaker, Apocalypse, Ice Bringer, and Frost Bringer.
Which sword is it? Mo Qi was a little curious, but after opening the properties panel, the system's instructions didn't give him more hints-
【Fragments of Ancient Artifacts】
Description: There is still a great deal of power left on the fragments......
……
"Forget it, don't dwell on this problem...... Once you've collected all the pieces, you'll know. Mochi said comfortingly.
But the question is, can you collect them all?
Thinking of Moqi's own experience of collecting [Valanaire - Hammer of the Ancient King] in the game, he suddenly lost his expectations for this artifact.
"Let's see what's in the box." Moqi took a very delicate belt from the box and clicked on the system description, which made Moqi a little devastated.
[Collar of "Terenus Minarhill III"]
waist
Armor +10
Intelligence +3
Stamina +5
Special note: The inner ring of the collar is also engraved with a line of text - "Companionship is the most affectionate care." ”
……
"Although it looks a bit strange as a belt, its attributes are really good!" After reading the attributes, Mo Qi immediately tied this equipment to his waist.
Gathering the equipment, Moqi turned around and walked up, and when he reached the sarcophagus at the top of the stairs, Moqi had a new plan in his heart-
"There are still two bottles of Noger Fogg Elixir in the package, so it's better to try your luck. If you're lucky, don't leave in such a hurry and go shopping in the Dark City, maybe you can even purchase alchemy materials and recipes......"
