20 years of the Dark Gate.

A team of griffon knights descended from the sky in the sky of Nanhai Town, descending near a hotel in Nanhai Town.

The captain of the guard, Arman, said in a low voice: "Prince Arthas, the intelligence shows that the Grand Lord Alexandros Mograini is currently purifying a mysterious shadow crystal with the Grand General Abidis, the Grand Inquisitor Ethan Lien, the Grand Prosecutor Falbanks, the Arcane Master Duane and others. ”

Arthas nodded and said lightly: "Arman, you lead the team to surround the hotel, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and violators will be killed." ”

"No." Arman bowed.

……

Arthas walked slowly towards the hotel, feeling the increasingly strong fluctuations of holy light, frowning slightly, and muttering in his heart: "It is worthy of the core of Naru, it can actually absorb such a strong holy light energy. ”

……

Inside the hotel.

Alexandros frowned, sensing the changes outside the hotel, turned his head to look at the person at the gate, and frowned: "Prince Arthas? ”

Arthas stared at the "Naru Core" suspended in the air, glanced at the five people who were instilling holy light energy into the "Naru Core", smiled slightly, and a stream of holy light energy emerged from his right hand, instilling the "Naru Core".

Arthas smiled faintly: "Don't be nervous, I heard that you plan to build a sword of justice, so let's take a look." ”

Alexandros was shocked when he heard this, and frowned: "Prince Arthas, where did you hear the news?" ”

Arthas ignored it, staring at the "Naru Core" with deep eyes, and muttered, "Light comes from darkness, and light emerges from darkness, is this the true meaning of the Holy Light?" ”

Alexandros was stunned for a moment, his eyes were puzzled, and he thought to himself: "Since the 6th year of darkness, the mysterious 'Shadow Crystal' was obtained in the hands of an orc warlock who died in battle, until today, it has lasted 14 years, and I have understood the truth that good and evil are mutually reinforcing, and light cannot exist alone from darkness. Where did the Prince of Alsace learn about it? Or did the Prince of Arthas realize it himself? ”

Alexandros stared at Arthas and said tentatively: "The prince is so perceptive, so what is the purpose of the prince of Arthas's visit this time?" ”

Arthas smiled: "Great Lord Alexandros don't need to worry, when the 'Naru Core' is purified, I will discuss my purpose with you." ”

Alexandros nodded, and the six of them concentrated on purifying the "Naru Core".

……

Seven days later.

The "Naru Core" has been purified, and the Naru Core suspended in the air emits a dazzling light.

Alexandros' right hand touched the "Naru Core", and a pure holy light energy instantly penetrated Alexandros's body, and the hands that had been used by the "Shadow Crystal" undead flower were also instantly healed, and the mid-stage realm of the Sanctuary that had been stopped for a long time also appeared to loosen, and the peak of the Sanctuary was hopeful.

Alexandros had a hint of excitement in his eyes, and he put away the "Naru Core" in his hand without a trace.

Grand Inquisitor Ethan Leon was amazed: "Magical crystal, I can't imagine that the holy light and the darkness are actually interdependent. ”

Alexandros turned to Arthas and asked, "Prince Arthas, what is your purpose?" ”

Arthas said lightly, "I want the 'Naru Core', which is the 'Shadow Crystal' in your hand. ”

Alexandros frowned, unfolded the "Shadow Crystal" in his hand, and said suspiciously, "Naru Core? ”

Arthas bowed his head and said, "This is the 'Naru Core' left behind after death by a mysterious race in the universe that holds the power of Shadow and Holy Light. ”

Alexandros was noncommittal, staring at Arthas with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What is the purpose of the prince asking for the 'Naru core'?" ”

Arthas said lightly, "Forge a weapon of justice against the Lich King who is entrenched in the Ice Crown of Northrend." ”

Alexandros wondered, "The Lich King? ”

Arthas succinctly recounted, "The culprit of the plague of the undead, the lackey of the Burning Legion, the fallen orc shaman elder Naozu......"

Alexandros and others digested the message in Alsace's discourse.

A few minutes later.

Alexandros stared at Arthas with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know where the prince got the news from, but it was our previous plan to make the 'Naru Core' into a weapon. ”

Arthas frowned, stared at Alexandros with a cold gaze, and said coldly, "Give me the 'Naru core'." ”

Everyone stared at Arthas, who was bound to win the "Naru Core", and the atmosphere suddenly tightened.

The great general Abidis smiled slightly, and said softly: "The prince said that the 'Naru Core' is Alexandros' trophy, and he has the ownership of the 'Naru Core'. ”

With a wave of his right hand, Arthas stopped Abidis's persuasion, and his cold gaze stared at Alexandros, and said in a deep voice: "The strongest weapon belongs to the strongest warrior, Arthas Minehir, the prince of Ulordanron, follows the ancient aristocratic tradition and challenges the great lord Alexandros Mograini, and the winner obtains the ownership of the 'Naru Core'. ”

Alexandros narrowed his eyes, stared at Arthas with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I, Alexandros Mograini, accept your challenge, and the winner will take ownership of the 'Naru Core'. ”

Arthas looked at the four people on the side and said lightly, "Please also ask the four to be witnesses." ”

The four of them, General Abydis, Grand Inquisitor Ethan Lien, Grand Prosecutor Falbanks, and Arcane Duane, nodded.

Abidis said in a deep voice: "The area in the hotel is narrow, and the two of you still go out to compete." ”

Alsace and Alexandros, the two of them understood and walked out of the hotel slowly.

……

Outside the hostel.

Alexandros drew the big sword behind him, stared at Arthas with an indifferent expression, and said in a deep voice: "Prince Arthas, are you ready?" ”

Arthas glanced at Alexandros and said lightly, "Come on, Alexandros, let me see your power." ”

Alexandros frowned, stared at Arthas empty-handed, and said coldly: "Prince Arthas, you will pay for your arrogance. ”

Arthas smiled slightly and said coldly: "The scenery I see is no longer a realm that you can explore. ”

"Arrogance." Alexandros picked up his broadsword, bent his right knee slightly, and kicked violently, rushing towards Arthas like a cheetah.

Arthas shook his head, "It's just ants. ”

"The power of the six gates of divine art!."

In an instant, Arthas, who was wrapped in green steam, grabbed Alexandros' great sword between the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and said lightly: "Great Lord Alexandros Mograini, is this your power?" ”

Alexandros, who is at the peak of the half-step Sanctuary, is not too weak, but Arthas, who is in the middle of the Sanctuary at this time, is 20 times more powerful than in the normal state.

This was an asymmetrical battle, but it was just a process for Arthas to justify the acquisition of the "Naru Core".

Alexandros' eyes shrank suddenly, he put away his big sword, and said with a shocked expression: "Prince Arthas, have you broken through to the demigod realm?" ”

Arthas shook his head and held out his right hand.

Alexandros understood, took out the "Naru Core" from his arms, handed it into Arthas's hands, and asked again, "Prince Arthas, what secret technique do you use?" ”

Arthas put away the "Naru Core" in his hand, glanced at the five people around him who looked fanatical, and said lightly: "If you want to learn, I will teach you." ”

Abydis, Ethan Lien, Alexandros, Farbanks, and Archmaster Duane were stunned for a moment, and they all thought in unison, "Can you teach us so casually?" ”

Arthas stared at the five of them and said slowly, "But there is a premise, you must join the Life God Cult that I founded. ”

Ethan Lien frowned and said, "Life God Sect? Prince Arthas, you have left the Church of Light? ”

The five stared at Arthas with sharp eyes, as if they had heard something terrifying.

A touch of golden light energy appeared in Arthas's right hand, and he said lightly, "The 'Naru Core' has witnessed to you that the Holy Light and the darkness are mutually reinforcing. ”

"The so-called Church of the Holy Light is nothing but a sect that imparts knowledge of the Holy Light."

"What I'm looking for is the power to protect Lordaeron and protect my homeland, and it doesn't conflict with which sect I believe in."

"Abraham, the father of our God and all things, taught all beings the doctrine of 'self-improvement and encompassing all things,' which does not conflict with my belief in the Light, and the Light has not turned away from me because of my belief in my God."

Alsas paused and concluded, "The Light is a guardian force, following the eight virtues of knighthood, and I have never violated the rules of my heart, even if I join the Cult of the God of Life, it is my strength to defend the glory of the Light and justice. ”

"So don't associate the Church of Light with the Light, it's just a narrow perception of power."

Arthas glanced at the five people who moved slightly, and did not force the five to join, and said lightly: "If you figure it out and are willing to join the Life God Sect, you can come to King Lordaeron to find me." ”

It was still too hasty for the veteran paladins to accept the new ideas of Arthas.

However, the demonic power of Arthas has turned into a seed buried deep in their hearts, and one day, a great tree will grow into the sky.

That's the beauty of power.

This is the nature of human pragmatism.

……

Zhang Yi stared at the "Naru Core" in his hand, and said lightly: "It is rumored that the Naru clan has the power of shadow and holy light by nature, and they have the strength of this demigod at the moment of birth, and they are really the darlings of the universe. ”

Arthas respectfully said, "I beg my god to forge an artifact for me." ”

Zhang Yi said: "As you wish." ”

Arthas thanked, "Thank you for the grace of my God." ”

……

Alien, Skylab.

Zhang Yi stared at the "Naru Core" in his hand and muttered, "Naru, an energy creature, is really an interesting race. ”

Zhang Yi casually put the "Nalu core" into the template database, and copied an identical "Naru core" with the template rule.

……

Moon star, lava center.

Zhang Yi walked in the cave at the center of the earth, glanced at the dark red magma under his feet, and with his left hand, the "Naru Core" emerged and threw it into the air. The divine power of his right hand flowed, and he sucked the magma in the leyline, and the liquid dark red magma seemed to turn into a fire dragon, centered on the "Naru Core", and it was sharply condensed, forming a large magma ball in an instant.

Zhang Yi squinted, his right hand was weakly grasped, and the divine power compressed the big magma ball, and in an instant, the big magma ball was half a circle smaller.

Divine power flows, and the metal essence in the leyline lava is continuously extracted into the magma balls in the air.

……

A day has passed.

Zhang Yi stared at the pan-alloy metal ball that had been tempered by divine power, and nodded with a little satisfaction.

Then, according to the model of the great sword in my mind, I began to forge the sword shape of the pan-alloy metal ball.

……

Another day has passed.

The metal ball was forged into a one-meter-seven pan-metal greatsword, with a dark sword body, which was not affected by the ultra-high temperature of the leyline lava at all.

Zhang Yi led his right hand, grabbed the dark sword, opened his heart and stared at the big sword, staring at the texture of the big sword, the divine power was running, Zhang Yi's line of sight was magnified a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, under the eyes of the heart, the texture of the big sword did not fluctuate a little.

A "Law Mark" appeared in Zhang Yi's left hand, fusing it on the core of the big sword.

Based on the Mark of the Law, we began to add three major skill effects: "Soul Suck", "Life Feedback", and "Lava Descending".

"Soul Sucking", the soul of the slain creature will be sealed in the great sword.

"Life Feedback", the big sword can absorb the life essence of living beings and replenish the energy consumption of the sword master.

"Lava Descending", the big sword is forged from the leyline lava panmetal, with a super high affinity for the fire element, through the depicted "Fire Element Magic Array" can absorb and store the fire element between heaven and earth, release the "Forbidden Spell Lava Descending", or release the elemental magic of the fire attribute.

……

Finally, Zhang Yi used the Bronze Bell Law Mark as the basis to set the soul binding combination lock. It is equivalent to signing a "reincarnation agreement", and the law mark will bind the right to use the great sword according to the soul mark of the reincarnation.

Zhang Yi nodded with satisfaction and muttered, "This great sword is to deal with the Lich King's Frost Sorrow, so let's call it 'Fire Joy'." ”

……

Barracks on the northern outskirts of Lordaeron, night.

Arthas stared at the night sky, Zhang Yi's words echoing in his mind, "The joy of the artifact fire will descend on the northern outskirts of Lordaeron at noon tonight." ”

Suddenly, a meteor appeared in the sky, drawing a silver line, and hit it in the direction of the barracks.

The soldiers in the barracks were in an uproar and exclaimed, "Meteorite attack, run." ”

Arthas looked at Arman on the side and said lightly, "Tell the soldiers that this is the joy of our lord to give the artifact fire." ”

Arman was stunned for a moment, then showed a fanatical expression, "No." ”

The mutinous barracks, as Arthas's order was handed down, fell silent in an instant, and everyone stared at the "Joy of the Artifact Fire" that fell from the sky.

Carrying the earth-shattering artifact Fire Joy, a hundred meters above the ground, suddenly stopped, and flew to Arthas's side as if he had a spirit.

Arthas stared at the "Artifact Fire Pleasure" with a fascination on his face, his right hand holding the hilt of the sword, and a message suddenly flowed from the blade to Arthas's eyebrows.

"Soul Suck", "Life Feedback", "Lava Descends", "Soul Binding".

In addition, there was also an affinity of holy light coming from the body of the Fire Happiness Sword, which slowly guided the holy light fighting qi in the body, as if forming a part of the body.

Every time the Holy Light Fighting Qi passed through the joy of fire, the Holy Light Fighting Qi became purer and more condensed.

The Holy Light seemed to tear a faint curtain in front of Arthas's eyes, and all kinds of feelings about the Holy Light came to Arthas's mind.

At a certain moment, a golden pillar of light rose into the sky, and Arthas's understanding of the holy light reached a higher level, breaking through from the middle stage of the holy realm to the peak realm of the holy realm.

……

Chapel of the Light's Wish.

Uther, who was stationed here, looked slightly in the direction of Lordaeron's capital and whispered, "The kingdom has given birth to another paladin at the peak of the Holy Domain?" ”

The Eastern Plaguelands, some unknown corner.

Tirio Ferdin's head looked up at the west, revealing a hint of joy, "It's been ten years, and the alliance has finally given birth to a new Sanctuary Peak Paladin. ”

Cathedral of Light in Stormwind.

Archbishop Benedictas frowned, glanced north, remained silent, and continued the sermon.

Tirisfal Glade, Scarlet Monastery, Southwest Direction, Alonsosfao Necropolis Cemetery.

A zombie opened its blank eyes, stared in the southwest direction, and muttered to himself, "Holy ...... Light...... Saint...... Ride...... Taxi ......"

"I ...... Be...... Pander to...... Prosperous...... Alonsos Fao, the creator of the Paladin. ”

……
