Chapter 303: The Prologue of the Artifact

Zugin's affairs were handled by Anastarian, much to Kael'thas's reassurance.

He wrote a letter to a few mages who were about to go to Cinchero to teach the troll leader, alerting Saril to the situation, and then resumed his work.

Valera's role is even bigger than Kael'thas imagined.

Every day, getting up, breakfast, lunch and dinner, tea, and even helping to get documents and other trivial things are all handled by her alone.

It even gives the impression that she is more capable than Solan Lian.

Of course, Kael'thas also understands that this is an illusion. Solanlian's ability lies in his handling of political affairs, while Valella is just something like a personal nanny, and the two can be said to be completely different types.

When Sylvanas and Lothmar returned, Kael'thas called Aurelia back, and then took them to the Temple of the Firmament.

The High Elf Library was successfully opened to the three Legendary Rangers, but unfortunately, the Ranger didn't get much out of the Library.

But something is better than nothing.

Sylvanas and Aurelia made an appointment to divide the work, one to bring in the army, and the other to study the Arcane Way, often in rotation.

Lotherma, on the other hand, due to her weak nature and lack of ability to command armies, was given more freedom to learn.

It is worth mentioning Wen Lesa, this little ranger was arranged by Aurelia to be his deputy.

While Lothema stayed by Kael'thas to study, Sylvanas had no intention of changing someone else, and quietly raised the child with Aurelia.

Unbeknownst to Kael'thas, Sylvanas is also Winlessa's older sister.

Wen Lesa knew this, she was very unfamiliar with this second sister, but it did not affect her admiration for Sylvanas, and she obeyed her orders in everything.

This made Sylvanas like this sister very much.

A week later, Anastarian summoned Kael'thas to him.

"Zujin is dead."

He looked very calm, but Kael'thas could still see the king's hidden joy.

Kael'thas breathed a sigh of relief, but smiled wryly.

For a saint-level professional, it was so easy to solve, and if he could, Kael'thas even wanted Anastarian to kill the future evil lich, Kergassud.

But this is obviously unrealistic, Kergassud is a disciple of Antonidas, and now he is in the Kenrito Council in Dalaran, and no one will attack him at will.

The matter can only be solved by waiting for Kael'thas to go to Dalaran.

On the night he learned of Zugin's death, Kael'thas stood on the arcane path and looked out over the ocean.

His sharp eyes spotted a small ship rowing north from the Forbidden Sea, and Kael'thas couldn't see the people inside, but he could feel the power hidden inside.

[They're heading to the Well of the Sun.] 】

Kael'thas pondered, and then understood the identity of the group—the men sent by Anastarian to destroy Zukin.

How many saint-level professionals are there? How many legendary pros are there?

Kael'thas regretted his narrowness of information, but the High Elf Kingdom was much more powerful than he had imagined.

Can anyone really destroy such a powerful country?

Kael'thas was sometimes skeptical of the existence of this fate, he knew that the undead scourge in history had caused serious damage to almost all races, but Kael'thas did not have a realistic sense of how powerful that team was.

The world he came into contact with was telling him that the High Elves were strong.

But at the same time, Kael'thas thought of the existence of the Red Dragon Queen and others.

If the Red Dragon Queen attacks, will Quel'Thalas be safe?

Obviously impossible, the gap between mortals and demigods is too great.

But it seems that the undead are not weaker than the dragons at all, and even the base camp of the undead is in the place where the dragons gather

After thinking about it, I finally came back to one thing - we can't let the undead invade.

For this reason, Kael'thas could not stop.

He was working and going back and forth with the Arcane Path, and he was spending every day, but Dalaran's invitation had not yet come.

For some reason, the group of human mages showed their generosity this time.

Over the course of a few months, the royal mages were able to create a spell that protected the orc warlock contract, solving a problem in the promotion of a magic circle.

The only problem now is how to summon demons without soul shards.

Kael'thas and the mages came up with many alternatives, but nothing worked.

Demons seem to be interested only in spirits.

There was no solution to this matter for a while, and by this time, Kael'thas had finally compiled enough information from the High Elf library for him to find a way to cultivate the wisdom of weapons.

This method combines the use and influence of some magic, and the main content is to keep weapons around, cultivate them in a specific way, and finally allow these weapons to stay with their owners and act autonomously.

It won't take a long time for each weapon, and according to the bits and pieces of magic prepared by his predecessors, Kael'thas estimates that it will take half a year to achieve results.

But there is a very important problem here: the need for qualified weapons.

This result simply made Kael'thas shout that he was a cheating father, and in the end, he still needs a good weapon?

However, the situation is a little better now than before, and the requirements for this weapon will not be particularly high.

In fact, while cultivating a weapon, the weapon will also increase its strength due to the master's magic, so the weapon itself does not need to be particularly superb.

It just has 'qualifications'.

This qualification, in simple terms, is inspiration, and it is explained in the library that some weapons with history and stories may generate inspiration.

Kael'thas began a frenzied search for the weapon, and he had had nothing to gain in the previous month.

Until one day, the queen brought him a beautiful bow.

Kael'thas discovers that it actually qualifies.

"What's its name!?"

Kael'thas asked Valella in a surprised tone.

"Her Highness calls it the Spirit String Longbow."

Valera's soft voice sent a thunderbolt through Kael'thas's head.

The Spiritstring Longbow - the name is one of the seven weapons of Kael'thas in history.

[How is that possible!?] 】

Kael'thas felt in a trance, is this fate?

Are all his weapons the seven that have been predestined for a long time?

He still remembered the names of seven weapons in history: Destruction, Cosmic Imbuper, Leap Cutter, Phase Barrier, Psichord Longbow, Infinity Blade, and Staff of Disintegration.

Kael'thas stopped his random search, and in order to prove his thoughts, he ordered several of his subordinates to search for the weapons according to their names.

As a result, after a while, he only found a one-handed hammer and a one-handed sword, named 'Cosmic Infusion, Leap Cutter', respectively, and the qualifications were met.

Glance.

Kael'thas had already predestined his weapons, they didn't need to be created by himself, they were already there.

Quel'Thalas doesn't have the other four, that is, there are four weapons that are in the outside world.

Kael'thas has something new to do.

He didn't know what expression to use to face the matter, so he put them aside for the time being.

Of course, Kael'thas was quick to keep the 'Leapcutter' by his side to breed.

Weapons could not be cultivated at the same time, so he first chose the most familiar one-handed sword.

The cultivation process cannot be enchanted, but after completion, the weapon will be mutated with the owner's mana, and the runes on it can even be changed at any time.

What's more, no matter what kind of rune is changed, the weapon will be used automatically.

It's going to be a long time, years to grow alone, and then a mixed culture of the group.

The trouble is that I don't know where to go with four more weapons.

At this time, Kael'thas really wanted to get those artifacts directly.

Two immediately came to his mind: Ember Briringer and Frost Sorrow.

These two swords can be said to be the two most famous artifacts in the entire world, but unfortunately neither of them has been born now.

And even if it is born, Kael'thas will be hard to obtain.

His concerns were not wrong.

Neither artifact will belong to the Elves.

One is an artifact of the undead, and the other is an artifact of a paladin, and no matter how much the owner of the two swords changes, it will be difficult for him to take his turn.

However, the sad matter of Frost Sorrow aside, the figure of the Ember Bringer has already appeared.

Lordaeron—In the dark room, Mograini gently opened the box in his hand.

A palpitating black crystal floated from the chest.

"This is"

Kalia found the dark aura condensed inside the crystal, and gasped:

"Teacher, where did you get this?"

Why did Mograini bring such an evil thing?

"This was dug up from the remains of an orc officer, an evil corpse, and it was brought here from their world"

"Kalia, what did you see inside?"

Mograini smiled, a glove on one hand, but his eyes sparkled.

"Darkness, extreme darkness."

Kalia replied.

"Yes, darkness"

"I guess this thing is the embodiment of the shadow in this world, it is the embodiment of darkness, a void."

Mograini smiled, and didn't seem to mind at all:

"But Kalia, what's the opposite side of darkness?"

"What is the opposite of extreme darkness?"

"I often wonder if justice can exist without evil. Isn't there a shadow on the other side of the Light? ”

"If the answer is no, then is it possible that there must be an equivalent power of Light in this incomparably evil shadow creation?"

"It can be the hope of the Light."

Ember Bringer - Wherever it goes, all evil will be reduced to ashes.
