Volume III Kuroshio 23 Origins

-Fear?

- Hmph, of course there will be fear. There's nothing to be ashamed of here.

-The best way to get rid of fear on the battlefield is anger, anger means hatred, and the way to keep it angry is to fill your heart with hatred.

-Ethan:......

- No, if you don't kill the other person, the other party will kill you. Of course, the Warlords standing behind you will give you an arrow when they see you turn around and run backwards. Hopefully, though, you're not the first to get their attention.

-Ethan:......

- There is no way, that's how it is on the battlefield, mercy is almost non-existent in such places. This is true for everyone. Of course...... As far as I know, there is another comparison...... Noble situation.

-Ethan:......

- Of course, humans are different from wild beasts, and wild beasts will react most instinctively depending on the situation of both the enemy and the enemy, whether to bark their teeth at you or run away with their tails between their legs. But people are different, the biggest difference is the thought, people have ...... Thought!

-There is a type of person who can overcome their fears very well and are not used to that atmosphere...... But...... This kind of person has the consciousness and ...... of seeing death as if it were home. Noble goals.

-They know that they will die if they rush forward, and even they will have a lot of worries, but they still choose to charge.

-Ethan:......

- Of course there are such people. And often this kind of person will become a hero, a great man and will be remembered for eternity.

-Ethan:......

- Seen, many times. Such heroes will appear in every army.

- Uther is.

-Ethan:......

- Extremely afraid of death...... Ha, too. The Warlords will let them rush forward.

-Ethan:......

- Don't be afraid not to charge, of course, such people will most likely die at the hands of their own people.

-Ethan:......

-Beheading.

-Muller:......

- Hmph, those who dare to rush forward are warriors, bravery is not reckless, of course you have to use your brains, do you think that when we charge, we will rush to our own death without looking at the situation in front of us? It's also up to you to figure it out. To survive, you have to survive first!

- Of course, it's not just about using your brain, it's about luck.

-Ethan:......

- Yes kid, as I said earlier, the Death Knight is the most feared opponent I've ever seen so far.

-Ethan:......

- They are a terrible monster, no, they are not people...... It's the dead. All of them are our dead knights, our former compatriots, comrades-in-arms, brothers.

- But when they opened their eyes again and stood up, it was no longer the case, they were resurrected by the warlocks.

-Ethan:......

- Warlock, not a mage. Dalaran's group of pointed hats are called mages, and the orcs who control evil magic are called warlocks.

-Muller:......

-There are also people who study this kind of spell, evil spells, dark spells, they have the company of the dead, they communicate with the soul, this kind of spell is expressly forbidden, but there are also such people.

-Ethan:......

- No, I don't know. There is no precedent in humans for the resurrection of the dead.

-Muller:......

- Neither does the Holy Light, that's just a legend. If the Light could do it...... I'm definitely the first......

-Hum......

-Muller:......

- In some ways, yes. Dark magic is indeed stronger than light magic at bringing the dead back to life, but ...... The resurrected people have all become bloodthirsty and murderous! They are no longer our brothers, and they will not hesitate to kill their former brothers!

- We have suffered such losses.

-Muller:......

- It's not clear so far, but as far as I know, the mages of Dalaran still haven't figured out how orcs bring the dead back to life.

-Muller:......

- No possibility, this is absolutely impossible. This is absolutely forbidden magic, and it is completely contrary to the teachings of the Holy Light! There's no way anyone understands it and hides it, I'm sure.

-Muller:......

-Orc magic is different from human magic and the power of holy light, anyway, the orcs I've seen use magic weapons and props that are completely different from those used by normal mages, I'm sure of that, so if Dalaran's mage studies this kind of spell, it will definitely be perceived!

-Muller:......

- Don't take it for granted, Muller, unleashing your magic is like a soak of urine in the corner, and even if it dries, it will definitely leave a trace. The lowest-level mages of Dalaran could also feel the difference in this magic. Don't guess.

-Ethan:......

- Didn't I say that they are our knights, but they are all dead men, and they are ...... in appearance There's not a big difference between knights, uh...... The face is worse, the eyes are different.

- Their eyes are gray, or completely black at all, and of course red. Other than that, it's what a human being looks like.

-In addition, the attack power of these things is not one or two grades stronger than that of human knights, and it is completely crushing in one-on-one situations.

-Ethan:......

- Ha, how did you win...... I'm not really blowing to you, I'm telling the truth. If it weren't for me, maybe the war would have been completely different, and of course I wouldn't have to squat here today.

-Ethan:......

- Are you really naïve or stupid? Ethan Jr.

-Ethan:......

- The war must be lost, there is no doubt about it. Of course, this thing is full of twists and turns.

- And the person who made this happen is the one I just mentioned, Master Alonthos Fao.

-He's the second person I've seen since I infiltrated the royal city. It was a bit ...... when I met him at the time It was rude, but I knew him well, and the old man had not yet gotten up when I broke into his room. He was awakened by me from his sleep, and his face was of course a little ...... Well, it went from surprise to embarrassment, and before I had time to be angry, it went from shock to surprise.

- Do you think we have a good relationship?

-I didn't expect him to react like that, I hurt him before I was expelled from Lordaeron.

-Stephen:......

- Uh, exile and expulsion are the same thing, don't bite Stephen like that.

-Stephen:......

- I was in a mess of my brain after being injured by that Farrell Nerta, when he wanted to treat me...... Well, that's another story. Don't interrupt, Stephen.

But when I saw this lovely old man, my heart was more joyful, I was very happy to see him, and I looked forward to seeing him again. I just don't know what kind of magic this old man has cast on himself, and he doesn't seem to be getting any older than he did a few years ago. He still has a long gray beard and eyebrows, but the feeling of white beard is a little dazzling.

- Master Fao, don't look at such an old age, his skills are still very agile, he turned over and got out of bed and walked quickly in front of me......

-Stephen:......

- It's already dawn by this time! Stephen, if you interject again, I'll put your head in the fence.

- Master Fao grabbed my arm, and he looked at me as if he couldn't believe it. I told him a brief account of my experience, and he almost screamed in surprise as I took the treasure off my body.

-Ethan:......

- That's the three books I took from the king!

-Ethan:......

- King Lane.

-Ethan:......

- It was dead, so it was taken from him. By then, Varian had already fled by boat.

-Ethan:......

- It's three books, hum...... Look at you like that. Don't you think it's something else?

-Ethan:......

-The magic things in Grandma's story are all staffs, magic lamps, rings, necklaces, etc., right? Those are all stories, but the three books that I have worked so hard to dig out from under the king's body are the most precious treasures of humans and elves on this continent!

- Soladin's Legacy!

-Ethan:......

- Ha, Soladin doesn't even know! Stephen...... You...... You...... Forget it, you better shut up and stop talking! Gatsby, do you know who he is?

-Stephen:......

- Who's ...... Willie, what about you?

- Hey, who's that...... Carlisle, your name is Carlisle. You know what?

-Your taciturn speech is very similar to John's, tsk......

- Hmph, even Soladin doesn't know, it seems that you are all ...... Illiterate...... Gee.

- Soladin the Great, the first emperor in recorded human history, and the true founder of human history, know it.

-Ethan:......

- Why can't it be a book, little Ethan. Those five books were written thousands of years ago when Emperor Soladin defeated a man called ...... What's that...... Zakhaz is still a relic left behind by some kind of ancient monster.

-Ethan:......

- Ah, yes, he died. He died in the land ruled by his brother, Lorda.

-Muller:......

- Ah, it's really a hassle to explain to you. Soladin ...... Yes......

- Soladin was originally ...... Well, now the kingdom of Stormgard was originally called the kingdom of Arathus, but in the earliest days, when there was no concept of a kingdom, Soladin was a tribal overseer in the Arathi Heights, and after defeating the trolls in the northern forest, he became the king of the Arathi Heights. But then he wanted to unite the mountain kings to the northwest and the people who still inhabited the Tirisfa Forest, the birthplace of humanity.

- He followed ...... Ignaus, the king of the mountains of Alterac, fought and defeated him, and after subduing the Alteracs, he continued his way to the Tirisfa Forest, now known as the kingdom of Lordaeron.

-The leader of the kingdom of Lordaeron is the warrior Lorda, and he and the people of Tirisfa under his leadership are not at all subject to the force of Soladin, but war is cruel, and the dead are necessary. Lordan finally agreed to Soladin's request for a truce, but only if Soladin respected their faith.

- That's it, Soladin the Great...... At...... Forehead...... It was the Sanctuary where I met with Uther and Master Fao who made a blood alliance and fused his oath and blood into this ancient and mysterious land, and who swore and believed in the religion of Tirisfa.

-In fact...... The Tirisfa Forest is a mysterious place...... Well, it's mysterious. How mysterious is it? It is...... As I said, Soladin was trying to unify the north, but he eventually died here.

-As I said earlier, in his later years, he became interested in the origins of humanity, the secrets of the ancient giants, and the increasing number of magical energies that were gradually discovered, and in the vast forests of Tirisfana there were countless mysterious ruins, where he searched for the secrets he wanted to explore, and he never tired of it!

-But!

- He also died because of it!

-Ethan:......

- Intellectual curiosity is good, little Ethan, but ...... Sometimes, intellectual curiosity kills you, like ...... King Soladin is the same!
