"Go back, mortal! In this abandoned treasure trove there is nothing but darkness and death. ”

"I don't think there's anything more frightening than what we've ever faced."

Roof of the World, Northrend.

It is a wasteland located in the northern part of the world, covered in snow and ice all year round.

It is said that the cold wind that comes from here can take away people's souls.

But Arthas, the prince of the eastern kingdom of Lordaeron, was not worried, and in order to find the enemy who destroyed his homeland, the Dreadlord Melganis, he led his soldiers who were willing to follow him.

It was here that Arthas met his old friend and sword master, Muradine Copperbeard.

A dwarven with a wide range of interests, Muradin is very interested in ancient architecture, the New World, strange creatures, and mysterious Titans, and especially loves to venture around the world.

This time, he came to Northrend to find a powerful weapon called Frostmourn, but he didn't expect that before he could find this legendary sword, he was surrounded by a large number of undead troops and forced to separate from his team.

It was at this time that he met his old friend Alsace.

He originally thought that Arthas had come to his rescue after getting the news, but he didn't expect Arthas to come here to get revenge - but that didn't matter, Arthas still helped Muradin successfully rendezvous with his team and survive the difficult situation.

When he heard about Melganis from Arthas, the kind-hearted dwarf naturally decided to help his old friend.

Unfortunately, even after clearing all the undead armies in the vicinity, they still couldn't find Melganis.

Arthas wasn't in a hurry, believing that Melganis couldn't stay away from him all the time.

Unexpectedly, at this time, news came from Lordaeron's side that his father, King Terenus, was persuaded by Uther, the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand, to order Arthas and his troops to return.

The soldiers, who had become war-weary from the bad weather and continuous fighting in Northrend, heard the news and were no longer willing to continue this war of revenge, which seemed to have no end in sight.

In this situation, Arthas came up with a plan to deviate from the Light.

At Muradin's suggestion, he recruited mercenaries in the area and organized them to burn all the ships on the return journey, cutting off everyone's way back.

Then he deceived the soldiers that the mercenaries had burned the ship.

The soldiers, who had been overjoyed and wanted to return, were instigated by Arthas to kill all the mercenaries in a fit of rage.

In this case, they can only break the kettle and follow the prince all the way to the dark.

Muradin was puzzled by this, and he asked Arthas with both excitement and puzzlement, was revenge so important to him?

Arthas begged Muradine to forgive him, explaining that it was because Muradin had not seen what Melganis had done to his homeland.

It was at this moment that Melganis finally appeared, and he led a large army to surround Arthas and Muradin.

In this case, Arthas once again asks Muradin to help him find the legendary Frost Sorrow.

Despite a sense of foreboding, Muradin's kindness made him willing to fight alongside Arthas in his last moments.

Finally, when they reached the location of Frostmourning, they were stopped by powerful guardians.

"No matter what you think, kid, you can't pass."

The two sides insist on their own words, and the reason does not make sense, so they can only go to war.

As a result, after a great battle, the Guardians, despite their strength, were still defeated by the Paladin Arthas and the King of the Hill, Muradin.

It's just that when he was dying, he still dragged Alsace and said intermittently: "Go back quickly...... Otherwise...... It's too late...... At...... Before it gets too late......"

Arthas couldn't understand the Guardian's obsession, how could this man be tougher than himself?

"You're already like this, do you still want to protect this sword?"

"No ......"

The Guardian's gaze at Arthas contained a deep sadness: "It was never this sword that I wanted to protect...... It's you! ”

It's a pity that the prince at this time can't listen to anything.

At this time, the guardian had no way to stop him.

As for Muradin, although he also sensed that something was wrong, he still lacked trust in being the guardian of the undead, and still accompanied Arthas into the underground caverns, to the legendary Frost Sorrow.

When he saw the frozen giant sword, Arthas's whole person trembled with excitement: "Look! Muradin, that is our savior, the Frost Sorrow. ”

"Wait, kid!"

At this time, however, Muradin prevented Arthas from coming forward.

He issued an inscription on the pedestal of the sword, and he was well versed in the ancient script and said loudly to the young prince, "This is a warning!

It says, 'Draw this sword and you will gain eternal power, like a sharp blade tearing flesh apart, and power can also eat away at the soul.' ’

No, I should have thought of it a long time ago, this sword is cursed! ”

It was only at this time that he realized how wrong he was, he shouldn't have come to find this sword, let alone tell Arthas about it, and he shouldn't have helped Arthas to come here!

He turned his head and said excitedly to Arthas, "Let's get out of this place quickly!" ”

However, Arthas has come to this point after a lot of hard work, and how can he just give up when he sees that frost's sorrow is within reach?

Instead of following Muradin's advice to leave, he approached the sword step by step, and whispered, "I am willing to bear any curse in order to save my homeland." ”

"Nope! Listen to me, don't touch it! ”

Muradin stood in front of Arthas, but his short body looked extremely tall at the moment, and he spoke incoherently excitedly, "Arthas, forget about this matter, and take your soldiers back!! ”

"Fuck the soldiers!" Arthas burst out with a foul sentence and pushed Muradin aside, "No one can stop me from taking revenge, old friend, even you!" ”

Muradin didn't expect Arthas to be so stubborn, and he wanted to stop it, but he saw Arthas raise the war hammer in his hand and muttered:

"The soul of this place, listen to my call: as long as it can help me save my people, I will pay whatever the price!"

The next moment.

Frostmourn shook a few times and broke through the ice.

Arthas did not hesitate to throw away the hammer of justice in his hand, the revenge of the Holy Light, which represented the identity of the paladin, and the moment he held the sorrow of the frost, Xu Mochao's consciousness descended on the body of the prince of sorrow.
