Maybe it's because the waters near King Gilneth are shallow, or maybe it's something else, this time, the humanoid water elemental isn't as tall as it is in Southsea Town.

The water elemental's head tilted, as if looking at Arthas; Soon, the waters beneath its feet surged up to the shore, and with it, came to Arthas and Frost Sorrow.

"Arthas, Lady Frost, this is ......"

Dalein? Proudmoore walked behind the water elemental and pointed to the half-humanoid half-splash water elemental that was about as tall as him.

"Hello, I am Nepturon's servant, and my men call me Duke of Hydaxis."

Don't wait for Dai Lin? When Prodmore had finished speaking, a soft voice came from the center of the splash - it sounded strange, not like the sound of humans or other creatures, but like a collection of sounds, like the sound of the waves.

"Hello, Duke Hydaxis...... I am Alsace, Prince of Lordaeron...... What is the matter with me? ”

Arthas looked at the water element that was still flowing in front of him—it seemed that the water was constantly rushing ashore, and a wave rose up like a fountain, supporting the body of Duke Hydaxis, so that it would not fall to the ground as a splash.

"I'm not looking for your help, human, I'm looking for ...... Your Excellency. ”

Duke Hydaxis didn't give Arthas any face, he skipped the young Prince Lordaeron and looked at the Frost Sorrow behind him.

"Don't talk to your master like that! …… Hey? Odd. Do you recognize Frost? ”

Frostgrief had long forgotten the Duke of Hydaxis, whom she had met in Southsea Town, and she looked at the dancing splash and curiously wanted to poke it with her fingers.

"I haven't seen you. Excellency, however...... I have a gut feeling that your power is strong, and that's a ...... A power that is closer to the origin of this world than my master, and to my enemies; That's why I thought of asking for your help. ”

Duke Hydaxis spoke to Frostmourn so politely that he even lowered his head slightly, albeit a head made of water.

"Xiaoshuang is not interested!"

Frost Grief replied with a pout—she tugged at the corner of Arthas's sleeve. Then he stood on tiptoe and whispered in his master's ear if he could freeze this fun-looking thing into ice. Fit into the place where you hide your treasure in the Twisted Void.

"Duke Hydaxis, this ...... Ahem, as you can see, whatever you want Frost to help you with. You have to tell us the truth of the matter first, right? ”

Arthas used his eyes to stop Frostmourn's attempts to mess around. Looking at the aggrieved appearance of the little magic sword, he could only ask Duke Hydaxis with a wry smile.

"That's fair, human ...... I will tell you the truth of the matter in its entirety...... To be honest, when I met you in that sea, I never thought that one day I would need help from humans......"

"It is a simple matter for me to sink a fleet of humans or other mortals on the surface of the sea; It never occurred to me to ask Dahlin for anything. Because it was an ancient pact I made with his ancestors. ”

"But things have changed recently, and I've had to ask Dalin for help. Because I know that Dalin knows this ...... Powerful Excellency. ”

Duke Heydaxis, who spoke like an old man who had lived for a long time—and indeed he must have lived for a long, long time—listened to his lengthy prefix narrative, and Arthas still couldn't understand what he wanted to do with Frostmourn.

"My master, Nepturon, is one of the oldest in this world; However, in this world there are even more ancient creations, as powerful and mysterious as this lord. ”

"My master was once subject to some such creatures, but then he led us away from these ancient and mighty powers."

"Since then, the elemental lords, who are of the same status as my master, have begun to fight against each other, and this battle has continued for tens of thousands of years, and it has not stopped until today......"

"Of all our enemies, Ragnaros, the Lord of Firedemons, and his men are the most difficult; Water can quench fire, and so did we, but his minions continued to appear in the world. ”

"Tens of thousands of years ago, my master ordered me to take my men to fight these fire demons, but ...... My power is too weak in the face of Ragnaros, the Lord of Firedemons, so I need the help of this Excellency to help me defeat this powerful enemy. ”

Duke Hydaxis's tone was as soft as ever, but Arthas heard a deep anger and hatred in it—yes, the war between humans and orcs had only lasted a few years, and it had already accumulated enough to fill the feud of the Endless Sea; And the war between the water element and the fire elemental has passed for tens of thousands of years......

"Ragnaros, Lord of the Fire Demons? You mean...... The Fire Elemental Lord? You say he's in our world? No kidding...... As far as I know, all the Elemental Lords are trapped within their own elemental planes and cannot appear in this world. ”

Arthas listened to Duke Hydaxis's words, first stunned, then shook his head, and retorted with some disbelief.

"You know...... The Flame Demon King Ragnaros's Existence zài? Mankind...... This doesn't seem to be something that mortals can know. ”

Duke Hydaxis raised the speed of his speech - the time of the Elemental Lords has long passed, I don't know how many tens of thousands of years have passed, why would there still be humans who know about their existence and suffering?

"Maybe you're right, mortals don't know about these things...... Even in Dalaran's library, there are very few records of the Elemental Lords, but ...... As you can see, she's not mortal. ”

Arthas pointed to Frost's Sorrow, and said in a vague voice.

In fact, Arthas's knowledge of the Elemental Lords really doesn't have much to do with Frost Sorrow; As mentioned earlier, in the original flow of time, Kel'thugad's men dug up something mysterious in Ulduar, Northrend; Although the lich quickly sealed off the objects that had been buried underground for an unknown amount of time out of fear, he ......

If Kel'thugad's guess was correct—and Arthas believed that the wise lich would not be infallible in what he did best—buried beneath Aldua was exactly what Duke Hydaxis had just called "an ancient and mighty creation." (To be continued......)
