Volume VI Ice and Fire 62 The Fall of Kingship

Scold......

Treachery......

I also hate betrayal.

But for leaving him, I don't think it's a betrayal. If I say that I will be loyal to you, and I have sworn it with my sword and my life and honour when I am clear and sober, and solemnly, then my departure is called betrayal.

But the situation is that he killed me, and then resurrected me, and I became his subordinate, his minion, and his accomplice.

This kind of behavior of his is called murder, and he is called deprivation, or coercion.

Am I right?

No one can force me to do anything. I will definitely not allow to be forced by anyone!

"If you're in the Chapel of the Light's Wish like this......"

"No one can ask me to do anything." He interrupted me, "Never. ”

"I'm just saying what if."

"When I shove the sunflower seeds I peeled with my own hands into my mouth...... he said. Have you ever tried this feeling? ”

I was stunned for a moment, then laughed and didn't answer him.

"And what are you going to do with him?"

"I'm not going to kill him, I'm not going to transform him into a death knight, I'm going to make him watch, to see with his own eyes the home he loves, the people he loves die before his eyes, and everything he guards is destroyed before his eyes." He said, "He is my trophy, a memorial to me to be the king of this world." ”

"The dragon probably won't say yes." I say.

"If the dragons were really willing to take care of this, they would have come a long time ago." He said, "Do you really believe that those reptiles will protect the world?" Will they save you wretched? ”

He turned his head to look at Tirio, "When I bring the largest corpse in the Dragonbone Wilderness back to life, you'll see what a dragon should look like." ”

"They think they're saving, but they're nothing, and although they can transform into humans, they're reptiles, they're animals, they're beasts......"

And this man ...... The fire in the body is spit out from the mouths of those reptiles. He snorted, "If I hadn't cooled him down, this guy would have turned into a pile of char from the inside out." ”

"You mean...... Did you save him? I took the conversation.

"So to speak." He said. "I was the one who kept him alive until now, and I was the one who kept him alive now."

"What about him?" I looked at Tirio in the back.

"I said that I would keep him alive and let him see the changes in this world, and I would make him beg me to kill him, but I would refuse him. I even kind of can't wait to see his face of pain, disappointment, despair. ”

"You just routed the expeditionary force ......"

"You're saying they still have the ability to fight back, right?" His voice was full of contempt.

"You just won once." I said, "They still have people, and there are quite a few of them." ”

"They're elite, aren't they? The most elite troops. He said, "One in a million to kill me." He shook his head, "But what about the result?" ”

I don't know how to refute him, although he was really not very strong back then, and he couldn't have the upper hand in the face of the demon of Illidan, but now I don't feel like he used to be...... He's really getting stronger!

Maybe he didn't say much.

"And for you......" he looked at me, "you still won't be my subordinate...... It won't be my ...... Friend. ”

I looked at her face, and the air suddenly became a little subtle, and I could feel this feeling, in fact, I was already preparing how to deal with his attack on me at this time.

"There's one thing you said that I agree with, I ...... Like you, I never like to be commanded by others, and I will never allow anyone to force me. ”

"No one!"

"Humph!" He snorted contemptuously. "You've always been a nasty guy."

"You came to Lordaeron, and then you came back to Lordaeron, you are the plague, and every time you come brings bad luck. And I've heard of you, I've heard of you from Uther, you're a freak, he's a freak, that's why he thinks you're his friend, but obviously, you don't think he's a friend, am I right? Mr. Bill. ”

"You train Varian. Wrynn, the mud-legged prince, you seem to be very concerned, you're targeting me, aren't you? ”

"If I were your teacher......"

"Then you'd be dead a long time ago." He interrupted me again.

"I'll let you live a little longer." "But you'd better stay out of the way," he said, "and don't let me find you." He pointed his sword at me, "Your heart is of little use, but I will keep it, and if I find you one day, I will fill it with my own hands ...... you."

"Bang!"

I was not prepared for a sudden loud bang, and he was also startled, and a violent explosion behind her also knocked him to the ground.

Arthas turned to look behind him, and before he could get up, a figure jumped out of the smoke, and Tirio shone brightly, and he jumped in front of Arthas with his greatsword raised.

Arthas raised his sword to block it, but this time he knocked it crooked.

Tirio spun around and twisted his wrist, and the Ashbringer turned his blade and slammed it upwards, stunned me. As soon as Arthas looked up, the whole person flew up.

As soon as he landed on Tirio's sword, Arthas raised his sword to block it, but it was obvious how powerful Tirio's burst of power was, and the sword in Arthas's hand was now only capable of parrying and had no power to fight back.

One, two, three! Arthas flashed backwards, and at this time he pulled away, he raised his long sword, and this time he could fight back, but the light that erupted from Tirio's body was no longer golden light, but an extremely dazzling white light, and he slashed at Arthas.

The stone shattered, this time it was definitely the rock breaker, and the huge cracking sound surprised me. I knew what was shattering, but I couldn't see anything under the blinding light coming from Tirio.

Suddenly I heard a sudden cry of utterness and a roar of rage, and suddenly the wind began to blow around me, and the wind was so strong that I could not even stand on my feet.

Suddenly, I was hit by something, and when I turned my head, I saw that the Scourge soldiers had just crawled out of the ground in a panic, and they seemed to be the kind of conscious people who were frightened and began to scurry around.

Suddenly, the extremely dazzling light suddenly disappeared, and I turned my head to look, and saw Arthas lying on the ground, and beside him stood countless souls, almost all transparent, and this kind of ghosts was still gradually appearing, and as the wind became stronger, these souls were swept up like snowflakes. They flew into the sky!

More and more! There are more and more of those ghosts! They circled in the sky, around Arsar, above his head. That's what they roared about!

Suddenly, Arthas's body lifted off the ground, and the spirits all stretched out their hands, and they cried out angrily.

At this time, his body actually flew, really flew, his body seemed to have lost weight, and it seemed to be hanging by something, he was struggling, but now he was like a puppet with a string, he could only do senseless struggles in the air.

Tirio had a sword in his hand, and he looked up at the struggling Arthas.

At this moment, the souls of the dead on the ground gradually flew up, and they surrounded Arthas, surrounding him. The contrast between the way Arthas, who had been invincible just now, was too great to the contrast between the way he was struggling just now.

Bursts of blue light erupted from Arthas's body, and the blue light that flew out seemed to be fleeing from his body.

"What did you do!" I yelled at Tirio.

Tirio heard my shout, and he turned his head, "This is the end of the Lich King!" ”

Tirio's loud shouts shocked me, and that's the end of it? What did he do!

I hurriedly walked forward against the wind, and suddenly I heard a voice. "Bill!"

Although I no longer have a heart, I still feel my body tremble, and the voice is very familiar to me, and I turn my head sharply!

It's him!

"Uther!"

The outline of him in front of me is not very clear, but I recognize him, it is him! That's what he was like before he died! The armor!

"You ......," I was speechless for a moment.

"Thank you......" he said.

"No......" I shook my head in disbelief, "I ......" I was suddenly a little speechless, I couldn't believe it, I never thought that I would see him again one day!

"You're here...... Avenge me? ”

For a moment, I felt like my body was losing strength.

"Uther ......"

"Thank you......" he said, "I finally ...... Free! ”

As he spoke, he turned his head slowly to look at Arthas, who was hanging in the air.

"It's all ......," he said slowly, "it's over." ”

"I ...... I'm so sorry. "I didn't know what to say.

He turned his head and pressed his hand gently against my chest. "I know ......"

I looked at him in amazement, his looming, translucent face, and his eyes were extraordinarily bright.

"I know he killed you!" He said, "I've seen you...... I know! ”

His words made me stunned.

He slowly raised his hand and pointed to the side, and when I followed the direction of his finger, it felt like someone had hit me on the head.

I saw myself!

I was standing there, just like that, looking at me quietly.

"You were killed by him a long time ago, didn't you?" Uther's voice was ethereal.

"Back then, I died in front of you." He said, "Do you remember? ”

His words were like knives, and they pierced my heart.

"Brother......" he said, "I have never hated you......"

This made me feel a "boom" in my head.

"Thank you......" he said slowly, "thank you ......"

Do you know how I felt at the time?

Ashamed.

For a moment, I felt this in my heart, and I was ashamed! Unspeakable!

I set my eyes on me, and I looked at me blankly, his eyes filled with sadness. He must have known that he was dead, that he had lost the body that originally belonged to him, and now that he saw that this body no longer belonged to him, a body with an independent mind, and he didn't know how he felt at this time.

Actually, there was a moment when I felt a little embarrassed.

"You ...... Ever seen? "That's all I can say.

"All those who are killed by him, their souls will be absorbed into that sword, that sword...... It is a cage in which we are trapped and subjected to the corrosive and devastated power of the evil attached to the sword. The more we suffer, the stronger it becomes, and the more people who die, the stronger it becomes. ”

He paused, "But now...... It's all over, sword...... It was shattered, and this prison was opened, and we ...... And then freedom. ”

It was Tirio walking over, "Uther! ”

"My brother......" Uther looked at Tirio.

"Is that you?" Tirio was unbelievable.

"Thank you, thank you......" he thanked again, "you guys...... Saved me...... And all that. ”

When Tirio saw the other me, the look on his face was full of surprise.

"That's ......"

"Our souls." Uther said, "I am free, and I will ...... Left. ”

He said: "I can't stay in this world any longer, and now is my last time in this world, all the souls that have been released...... Unleash their anger on Arthas and seek justice from Arthas. ”

He ...... Root...... It's okay not to be like this. I said.

"Are you...... Do you think so? Suddenly, an old voice came from behind me. The expressions on the faces of the people in front of me changed at this time. Tirio's eyes widened in surprise.

I turned my head, and the majestic, familiar face appeared in front of me.

"Terenus!"

"I've seen you......" he said, "Bill......" his face, those eyes didn't change at all, he looked at me, "you're by his side...... You know what he's been through, right? ”

I nodded slowly, "Yes." ”

"What did you just say...... Is it true? His words and voice were suddenly filled with the concern and temptation of his father.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw everyone around me, and I nodded slightly, "He...... He just wanted to save his kingdom and save his people......" I looked at Terenus' face, "he just wants you to ...... Recognize him...... Nothing more. ”

He was silent, silent for a long time. He shook his head slowly, "Let this all be over......

He looked up at Arthas, who had stopped struggling. "Enough!" His cry was still powerful, and that majesty came only from a true king.

The spirits of the dead around Arthas were scattered all at once, and Arthas fell from the sky and fell heavily to the ground.

Terenus walked briskly up. The revenants saw that it was Terenus and flashed aside.

This king is also a king when he dies!

Arthas fell to the ground, and the frost sorrow shattered to the ground.

Terenus leaned down and gently removed the helmet from his head with his hands outstretched.

At this time, Arthas's face was finally revealed, and the face at this time was miserable and white, completely lost its blood, but his appearance did not seem to have changed much, and it was still the same as I remembered back then. The only difference was that the blue light in his eyes had become very faint at this time.

"Child......" The king threw away his helmet and picked him up.

"Father......" Arthas raised his hand and grabbed Terenus' left hand.

"My child ......" Terenus at this time was no longer a king, he was now a father, a sad father.

"I seem to have a dream...... "he was weak," he said, "a long dream." ”

"It's over, kid." There was a hint of sadness in Terenus' deep voice.

"I dreamed ...... I did a lot of wrong things. He said, "I dreamed of ...... I killed...... A lot of people. ”

"This dream...... You can wake up, my child. Terenus said.

"Father......" Arthas looked into Terenus's eyes, then he turned his gaze to us to the side, and suddenly his eyes were full of fear, "Father...... They...... Did they come to me for their lives? At this time, there was a hint of crying in his voice.

"Kid...... You're tired. Terenus said, "I know you're tired...... Sleep, just like when you were a child, I will be by your side, I will be with you when you wake up...... You will find that I am right there for you. ”

"Father...... I'm sorry! Arthas's hands were shaking.

"Sleep, child, don't wake up again, it's all over." He was actually appeasing this rebel who killed him with his own hands.

"Everything...... All...... It's over? Arthas's voice was filled with disbelief, confusion, sadness.

"It's over." Terenus's voice was ethereal.

"I want to ...... Prove it to you......" He said, "I can create...... A Greater ...... Country. ”

"Kingship...... There is no eternity...... There is no eternal ......" said Terenus, "let go, embrace the light, let go, you can be free." ”

"Father......" Alsace's voice was already very weak, "I feel so cold......

His voice trembled softly, "Father...... Why my ...... Now...... Only...... It's dark......"

The moment his hand slipped off Terenus's hand, I was in a trance.

Just now he killed all the elites, even the most elite troops in the world are like tigers facing sheep in front of him, he is the most powerful man, he is the Lich King, the king of all the dead! But in the blink of an eye...... He died like that!

This contrast is a bit unacceptable to me.

But he really just died.

Looking at Arthas on the ground, his face was still so young, the ice and snow here had frozen his age for so many years, his hair was flying with the wind, and his father was looking sadly at his only child. I don't know how he felt at this moment, or if he had hatred and resentment towards him.

But when I turned my head to look at Uther, I saw that his face was solemn, and his serious face seemed to have a hint of confusion.

I put my hand lightly on his shoulder. I seemed to touch something, but it was empty. It was a strange feeling of being there, but I felt cold, I felt sadness, I felt tangled and painful.

"It's all over."

Uther froze for a moment and then shook her head slightly, "No, not really. ”

I was a little surprised.

"The books he did were too numerous to mention." He said, "I am his teacher...... I felt guilty of myself. ”

"Everyone's life path is different, and everyone's experience is different, and the outcome is ...... Vary. I said, "But...... This is your destiny. ”

"We are both the same, with the same ending, and we are both dead, but the difference is that after I die, I will continue to fight for him and continue to help and abet him." I snorted, "But...... He is now getting his fair share of retribution. ”

He shook his head, "No, it's not over. ”

Terenus took over and said, "His death only represents the end of his life, but many of the things he brought with him will continue. ”

Terenus looked up, "This world can't live without the Lich King. ”

I was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?" ”

"Didn't you hear the wailing?" He looked at me.

"What wailing?"

"The wail of the dead." He said, "Arthas is dead, and the reign of the Lich King is over, but his death brings with it all the undead scourge that will be out of control." ”

"We can wipe them out." I say. "This war will eventually end."

He shook his head, "You don't know how many secrets and unreleased energy are buried beneath this land. ”

"I didn't understand what you meant." I said, at this time, in my thoughts, the Lich King is dead, his reign is over, his world of the dead is about to be destroyed, and it is inevitable to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, even if the leader is dead, the rest must be eliminated.

"What else do you know?" I asked.

"The Lich King...... " he said, putting down Arthas and picking up his helmet on the ground. When I was in that sword, I often heard a voice, and that sound came not only from the sword, but also from the helmet. ”

"Then smash it!" I pointed to the helmet.

"......No," said Terenus, "I heard not one, but several. He held his helmet out in front of me. I gave him a puzzled look and took the helmet.

The moment I took it, I instantly felt ...... It's weird!

It's this feeling, it's a strange feeling, it's even stranger than my contact with the Elder Gods.

How do you describe this feeling? It's just ...... It's weird, it's not the same as the darkness I'm exposed to, it's like you see purple in the dark, purple with red and blue on it.

But one thing I can admit is that this helmet contains more power than I have come into contact with the two ancient gods. And in this helmet I heard at least three people's voices, one was Salsas, I couldn't mishear that voice, one was a heavy voice, the other was a little hoarse, and the other one I couldn't hear clearly, it was the kind of feeling that seemed to be real and illusory, extremely ethereal.

I couldn't understand what they were saying, not even Alsace's voice. But they seem to be one and can no longer be separated.

"This helmet...... I want it. I said.
