Chapter 669: The Sword of the Royal Road, the Axe of Domineering

The point of view of this barrage reassured Sarai.

"What do you mean by that?"

[It's just a whim, and it doesn't guarantee that it's correct.] 】

[Among the two most famous artifacts of the Arathor Empire, the Sdomka Destroyer represents the royal road, and Torbairn should represent the domineering. 】

There is nothing to question that Sdomka represents the king's way.

This two-handed sword brings together a part of the inherited weapons of the major human tribes, symbolizing the unity of the human clans and the proper sword of the royal road.

Troll Killer Thorbain symbolizes the killing, and countless trolls have fallen under this battle axe.

According to Merry's letters, it was because he drank a large amount of the blood of the trolls, which contained regenerative powers, that Thorbain was able to sublimate into an artifact after being enchanted by the mages.

As a first-hand witness of the Troll Wars, Merry is intimately familiar with Thorbain's abilities.

When faced with races other than trolls, Torbain's quality is not up to the level of a true artifact, and it is a high-level epic weapon like Quirsera.

Tolbain has a special ability for trolls, and any troll injured by this tomahawk will have their innate regenerative ability completely nullified.

Even if the wound inflicted by Torbain is only a minor abrasion, it is permanently disabled, and the troll's regenerative abilities will not be restored as the wound heals.

During the Troll War, this battle axe followed the original Tolbane-Agnaus to conquer the north and south, and contributed to the final victory of the human and elven alliances in the war.

In the context of the times, it was not a problem to say that Tolbain was a weapon that represented hegemony.

The Sdomka Warbreaker was the sword of Emperor Soladin the Great, who was buried in the tomb of Tyre with Soladin in his later years, and was recently re-sealed by Sarean and his party.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or a necessity, another famous artifact from the Arathour Empire was also found soon after.

Combined with the clues that Soladin the Great deliberately left for Anastria, Salian has reason to suspect that he was premeditated.

Very little is known about Tolbane's removal, except for Merry and Tinagosa, who are secretly operating, and General Haas and Alex, who know the inside story in advance.

This murderous artifact is in Merry's custody for the time being, and the old lich who is willing to learn (and die) will surely study it thoroughly from the inside out before Thorbain officially appears.

"A symbol of progress......"

Saljan touched his chin thoughtfully: "It's not impossible, maybe Emperor Soladin has long expected that the Arathor Empire will be in trouble in the future, and hopes to use this overbearing axe to rekindle the fighting spirit and enterprising spirit of the Arathi people." ”

"But ......"

Valera spread her hands: "I'm afraid that Emperor Soladin didn't expect him to die suddenly without a clear heir." ”

"Because of the infighting between the heirs, the Arathso Empire collapsed much faster than he expected."

Salaan sighed softly, "No one can predict exactly what will happen in the future, not even the Bronze Dragon, who is in charge of time. ”

"It is precisely because of all kinds of unpredictable variables that our lives are not as boring as being arranged in advance."

"Straight to the point."

With a snap of his fingers, Salian burned the secret letter sent by Merry on the spot with a fire simulation using his unskilled arcane simulated fire.

"Merry is also a little unsure whether to inform Turnton of Torbain's reappearance, and he asks us for advice in his letter."

"It's a really hard problem to deal with." Valera held her chin in her hand and analyzed, "Announcing this matter can boost the morale of the Alterac Kingdom in a short time, but at the same time, it will also make other human kingdoms, including Lordaeron, covet it. ”

"As you said, Tolbain represents the hegemony of the Arathso Empire, and the symbolism is very important."

"With the current strength of the Alterac Kingdom, can you keep this ancient inheritance artifact?"

The Sarjan artifact shook his head solemnly: "To be domineering, Tyrenus, who is bent on unifying the seven kingdoms of mankind and reproducing the great cause of Soradin, needs it even more. ”

"Once Lordaeron knows that the Torbain Tomahawk has returned, Terenus will continue to raise the battlefield and desperately carry the symbol of 'domineering' back to his home."

[The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. 】

[Let's be cautious, I don't recommend letting Yin Yeton know about this too soon.] 】

[But I don't think I can hide it for long, after all, Soladin's secret room is hidden outside Steinbled, and with the ability of Ravenhold's thieves, sooner or later he will find out. 】

"Hmmm......"

Salaan bowed his head and muttered for a moment, "Why don't we let Merry temporarily keep the Torbain Tomahawk in the name of the Council of Tirisfar?" ”

"The Council of Tirisfa is also a product of the Arathor Empire, with a long history, and a relatively neutral position among the seven kingdoms of the human race, which is kept by them, even Terenus does not dare to make a blatant small move, right?"

[Good idea, if you can't find a suitable owner for the Sdomka Slayer in Quel'Thalas, you can send this royal sword to the Guardian Sanctuary as well.] 】

Merry can take this opportunity to increase the prestige and influence of the rebuilt Council of Tirisfa, so that he can recruit the best of the nations of Azeroth as soon as possible. 】

The Sdomka War-Destroyer is a warrior artifact, but Quel'Salas is a rare warrior to be called.

Sarean didn't want to give the artifact to the wrong person, and if he didn't have enough ability to control it, the person holding the artifact would be like a fortune boy in the barrage.

The rebuilding of the Council of Tirisfara is on the agenda, but it will not be easy for an organization that has been destroyed to re-establish it from scratch.

Even with the help of countries such as Dalaran and Quel'Salas, recruiting talent will not be done in a short period of time.

What worries Merry the most is the prestige of the Council of Tirisfa, as a hidden organization, the general public has no knowledge of the Council of Tirisfa.

On the premise that the Rhysfa Council recruited people from within, it was basically recommended internally, and the members of the council secretly recruited people they knew and approved.

After the destruction of the council by the Medivan Regiment, everything had to be started from scratch, and the rebuilt Tirisfa Council could no longer use this inefficient method of recruitment.

According to Merry and Sarren's discussions, the first core personnel must still be drawn from Dalaran and Quel'Thalas, which is a continuation of the tradition of the old Tirisfa Council.

For the follow-up talent recruitment plan, Sarayan suggested a semi-open approach, specifically for high-end talent in Azeroth.

Most talented people have their own pride, and they will not be easily moved.

That being the case, the prestige of the Council of Tirisfa is particularly important.

To put it in layman's terms, if you want to recruit high-end talents, the organization's own qualifications must be worthy of them, otherwise why would others surrender their identities to join a little-known pheasant organization?

Merry had already considered the reinvention of the Force, and he planned to take some time to travel to the continent of Kalimdor himself to try to convince the former Guardian Egwene.

Although Merry had been in seclusion for many years, he at least remembered the contact information left by Egwene.

After Merry's initial spatial positioning, Sarean was surprised to find that the thieves of Backlight Blade had really found the right place.

Egwene lived in seclusion somewhere in the Barrens, not in the muddy swamp that Sarean and Barrage had thought at first.

In addition to recalling Egwen, Merry has also thought of many ways to increase the prestige of the Council of Tirisfa, and if he can bring two famous artifacts from the Arathor Empire under his name, Merry's plans can be greatly accelerated.

"Slimka."

Sarjan was still a little undecided for the time being: "This suggestion will be put aside for the time being, and when the situation in Alterac is over, I will go back and ask Kael'thas for his opinion first." ”

"Count of the Deep Shadow! Are you in a tent? ”

As Sarren and Valilla discussed the ownership of the Torbain Tomahawk, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the tent, and a familiar voice asked questions in an anxious tone.

The corners of Sarjan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he had some guesses about the intentions of the Haas envoy.

'Isn't it ......'

"I'm here, please come in."

A delicate-looking female officer hurriedly opened her tent and walked in.

"Count Deepshadow, General Haas invites you to the city walls to deliberate."

"Our scouts have spotted something unusual near the camp of the Knights of the Silver Hand!"
