Chapter 20 The Cursed Evil Sword - Frostmourne
"Go back, mortal! There is only darkness and death in this abandoned treasure house."
“I don’t think there is anything below that is more terrifying than what we have ever faced.”
Roof of the World, Northrend.
This is a wasteland located in the north of the world, covered with ice and snow all year round.
It is said that the biting cold wind from here can take away people's souls.
But Alsace, the prince from the eastern kingdom of Lordaeron, was not worried. In order to find the enemy who destroyed his home, the fear demon king Melganis, he led the soldiers willing to follow him to come here from thousands of miles.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, Alsace met his old friend and swordsman, Muladin Bronzebeard.
As a dwarf with wide interest, Muladin is very interested in ancient architecture, New World, strange creatures and mysterious Titans, especially enjoying adventures around the world.
This time he came to Northrend to find a powerful weapon called Frost Sadness. However, he did not expect that before he found this legendary sword, he was surrounded by a large number of undead troops and was forced to separate from his team.
At this moment, he met his old friend Alsace.
He originally thought that Alsace came to save him after receiving the news, but he didn't expect that Alsace came here for revenge - but that didn't matter. Alsace still helped Muladin successfully meet with his team and survived the dilemma.
When he heard about Melganis from Artsas, the kind and enthusiastic dwarf naturally decided to help his old friend.
Unfortunately, even though all the undead troops were cleared nearby, they still did not find Melganis.
Arthas was not in a hurry at first, and he believed that Melganis could not hide from him all the time.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, news came from Lordaern that his father, King Terenas, was persuaded by Uther, the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hands, and ordered Arthas and his troops to return.
The soldiers who had become war-weary because of Northrend's bad weather and continuous battles heard the news and were no longer willing to continue this battle of revenge that seemed to never end.
In this case, Alsace came up with a strategy that deviated from the Holy Light.
At the suggestion of Muladin, he recruited mercenaries from this area and organized them to burn all the return ships and cut off all the retreat for the return journey.
Then he deceived the soldiers and said that the mercenaries burned the ship.
The soldiers who were originally full of joy and wanted to return angrily killed all the mercenaries under the instigation of Arthas.
In this case, they could only go all out and follow the prince to the dark.
Muladin expressed his incomprehension about this. He was both excited and puzzled by Alsace. Is revenge so important to him?
Arthas asked Muladin to forgive him, explaining that it was because Muladin did not see what Melganis did to his homeland.
At this moment, Melganis finally appeared, leading a large army to surround Alsace and Muladin.
In this case, Alsace once again asked Muladin to help him find the legendary Frost Sorrow.
Despite Muladin's ominous premonition, his kindness still made him willing to fight side by side with Arthas at the last moment.
Finally, when they arrived at the location of Frost and Sorrow, they were stopped by the powerful guardians.
"No matter how you think, kid, you can't pass."
Both sides have different opinions and the reason does not make sense, so they can only start a war.
As a result, after a big battle, although the Guardian was strong, he still lost to the Paladin Arthas and the King of the Hills.
But when he was dying, he still grabbed Arthas tightly and said intermittently: "Go back quickly...or... it will be too late... before... everything becomes too late..."
Arthas expressed his incomprehension of the Guardian. Why is this person more stubborn than himself?
"You've already done this. Do you still want to protect this sword?"
"No……"
The guardian looked at Arthas with a deep sadness: "I never wanted to protect this sword...but you!"
It’s a pity that the prince could no longer listen to anything at this time.
At this time, the Guardians could no longer stop him.
As for Muladin, although he felt something was wrong, he still lacked trust in being the guardian of the non-death spirit. He still accompanied Alsace to enter the underground cave and came to the legendary Frost Sorrow.
When he saw the frozen giant sword, Alsace trembled with excitement: "Look! Muladin, that is our savior - Frost Sorrow."
"Slow down, kid!"
However, at this time Muladin stopped Alsace from stepping forward.
He sent out an inscription on the pedestal of the sword. He was proficient in ancient texts and said loudly to the young prince, "This is a warning!
It says, "Picking up this sword will gain eternal power, just like a sharp blade tearing open flesh and blood, and power can also erode the soul."
No, I should have thought of this sword as cursed!"
It was not until this time that he realized how outrageous he was. He shouldn't have come to find this sword, nor should he tell Arthas about this matter, and he shouldn't have helped Arthas come here at the very least!
He turned his head and said to Arthas excitedly: "Let's get out of this ghost place quickly!"
However, Arthas has gone through hardships to get to this point. Seeing the sadness of frost is within reach, how could he give up like this?
Not only did he not follow Muladin's advice to leave, he approached the sword step by step, and said softly, "In order to save my home, I am willing to bear any curse."
"No! Listen to me, don't touch it!"
Muladin stood in front of Arthas, and his short body seemed extremely tall at this moment. He was excited and speechless, "Althus, forget about this, take your soldiers back!!!"
"Fuck me!" Arthas swears and pushed Muladin aside, "No one can stop me from taking revenge, old friend, even you!"
Muladin didn't expect that Arthas was so stubborn. He wanted to stop him, but saw Arthas holding up the hammer in his hand and murmured:
"The souls here, listen to my call: as long as they can help me save my people, I am willing to pay any price!"
The next moment.
The sadness of frost shook a few times and broke through the ice.
Arthas threw away the hammer of justice in his hand that represented the Paladin's identity - the revenge of the Holy Light. The moment he held the sadness of Frost, Xu Mochao's consciousness descended on the tragic prince.
