There are as many legendary stories about the young kings in later generations as a cow's hair. Among the exciting stories of the human empire embarking on the road of revival again, descriptions of the mysterious "Emperor's Legacy" occupy many, many pages.
Some people say that it was a magical weapon unearthed in the manor where Emperor Lothar was born in his hometown on the Eastern Continent and left by the emperor for his successors.
Some people also say that it was a huge amount of wealth and armaments that the emperor had buried in a cave in the Thousand Needles Stone Forest without warning before the tragic Battle of Northern Xinjiang occurred, preparing for the revival of the empire.
There are also the most bizarre rumors, saying that it is the source of power given to the great emperor by the mysterious spirit of the world. It is precisely because the young kings found this source of power that the weak empire became prosperous again.
.
As short-lived humans, these historical records are always incorrect. They will make "tiny" adjustments to the stories according to their personal preferences. After being circulated a few times, those stories will be changed beyond recognition.
For those participants who have truly experienced the "Emperor's Legacy" incident, it was just a process of young people inheriting the great will of the previous generation in a closed dark hall, under the attention of the faith leaders of the human world... Well
Well, just as far as the process and the incident itself are concerned, this is legendary enough.
"The...legacy left by Emperor Lothar?"
Under the dim light, Alsace looked at the brass ring in his hand with some disbelief. He did not doubt His Majesty Fa'ao's statement, but several months had passed since the Battle of Northern Xinjiang. Why?
Is Your Majesty going to hand this thing over to them at this time?
Is there any hidden secret in this?
The same question echoed in the hearts of other kings and princesses, and as if seeing their doubts, the old Holy Light Pope coughed a few times, and then said slowly:
"This is what Lothar meant. Before he set foot on the final battlefield, he repeatedly told me that this was the mission he should have completed, but fate did not leave him much time. He could only leave it to those who came after him.
, but these things are too important, I must examine you first... Children, I will only hand it over to you after confirming that you are worthy of the mission Lothar left behind."
His clear gaze rested on Alsace, and he said meaningfully:
"My inspection is over. Although I am a little reckless, a little immature, and still need to grow up, but...the will to protect the empire and the people, the mutual help between each other, the integrity of character and the courage to fear hardships are all in you.
, I saw a somewhat bumpy but bright future...Open it, good children, you are the successors needed by Lothar's great will."
This low voice reached the ears of every king, causing these young leaders to look at each other. Finally, under everyone's instructions, Jaina placed the brass ring in the palm of her hand, and then slowly injected
magic.
This is an old-fashioned storage ring. It is a magic product born in the previous era. The storage space is not as large as the currently popular rings, but it is very safe. Between the faint light of light blue magic, several items
The thing appeared in Jaina's hand, and she placed it on the table next to her in front of His Majesty Faol.
"This is..."
Alsace picked up the heavy book at the top, flipped through a few pages, and his expression became cautious. He picked up the book with both hands and handed it to His Majesty Fao, who put on a pair of reading glasses.
After looking at it under the light for a few times, I handed it back.
"There is no doubt that this "Silver Ash Scripture", which records the training methods of the Ash Knights, is a glimmer of hope that Lothar has found for the war between the human empire and the undead. It should belong to all humans, and you must use it properly."
"certainly."
Several kings passed around the holy scriptures in their hands. They discussed in low voices and finally decided to send the most loyal scribes to pass on several copies of the silver-gray holy scriptures under the supervision of various countries. All of this must be done with the strictest
Everyone knows that there are still undead spies in the current human empire.
"And then this!"
Jaina spread out the second drawing and placed it on the table in front of her. There was a map of the underground city densely marked on it. There was a big x mark in the edge corner.
"This is the underground map of the Black Iron Zone. Look! There are Emperor Lothar's notes here."
Galin exclaimed, everyone's eyes were on this map. Emperor Lothar seemed to have written down the meaning of this map in a hurry. He did not explain what the x represented. He
I just want to say that it is a very important thing for the human empire.
Apparently, he wanted his successor to take it out.
"A machine? Or a captive of our own?"
Liam narrowed his eyes. He looked at the others, but no one could give an explanation. Under the light of the secret room, the kings whispered and always reached a consensus. Everyone understood what Lothar meant.
Painstakingly, since the emperor thinks this person is very important, it means that their successors have the responsibility to rescue that mysterious person from the kingdom of Dark Blade.
After all, this is the unfinished business of a great man.
But this requires a detailed plan...especially going deep into the core of Dark Blade's rule to rescue. This will undoubtedly require the use of those deep-hidden spies that the empire has gone through all kinds of hardships and placed in the federal area. This is a very difficult task.
A risky decision, but judging from the current situation, the human empire needs to take risks to find hope, otherwise their future is destined to be bleak in the face of the aggressive undead.
"The last thing is this, a sealed scroll."
Jaina used magic power to carefully explore the last ancient scroll. She recognized the text on it. It was troll language, and it was the troll language from ancient times. She used a few simple words to outline the effect of a sealed magic.
Before opening this scroll, no one can know what kind of secrets are sealed in this scroll.
"Do you want to open it?"
Jaina looked at the others, but Her Majesty Faol reached out to stop her.
"No! This scroll was left by Lothar to his true successor..."
The old pope took the mysterious scroll and put it in his hand. Touched by the warm holy light, he closed his eyes and whispered:
"Lotsa told me that this was handed over to him by a dangerous martyr. It was said that it could save his life in the most critical moment, but Lothar had already made up his mind to die at that time... He thought that he used
This thing is a waste."
"So, only the second emperor is qualified to use it?"
King Drake, who had been silent all this time, this young man who had just recently become the King of Kul Tiras with the support of the four major families of Kul Tiras, rubbed his chin and looked at the Pope's hand.
He stayed on the scroll inside for a moment. Finally, he looked back at his sister, who shook her head at him:
"No more, the ring only has these three things."
"Well, a gift."
Alsace looked at the silver-gray holy book in his hand, then looked at the map in front of him and the scroll in the Pope's hand:
"A responsibility, and a guarantee... It's really like the emperor's style of doing things, no leaks."
"What about this ring?"
Jaina looked at the brass ring in her hand. This magical storage ring was not too expensive, but judging from the wear and tear of the ring, it must be a favorite thing that Emperor Lothar often used. Maybe it was Lothar.
It is an heirloom, after all, its production style has been popular hundreds of years ago.
From this point of view, this ordinary ring also has a strong symbolic meaning. If it is placed at auction or on the black market, there will definitely be many people who will spend everything they have to get it.
"Give it to me."
Arthas stretched out his hand and took the ring from Jaina's hand. He looked at the others and shrugged:
"Don't look at me with that look, brothers, I know what you are thinking, but don't worry, this is not my challenge to the position of emperor, I just want to return it to the person who is truly qualified to inherit it.
..Varian Wrynn, the person I regard as my elder brother, was raised by Emperor Lothar as his own child. He is the most qualified to inherit this relic."
The king of Lordaeron shook his finger and emphasized his tone:
"To us, Lord Lothar is the noble emperor, but to brother Varian, Lord Lothar is more like his father..."
"But when the emperor died in battle, I didn't see him... maybe he had given up all his responsibilities."
The youngest prince, Tanred Proudmoore, complained, but was glared at by his brother and sister. Such angry looks made Tanred shrink his head, then walked aside and stopped talking.
Already.
"One more thing, Your Majesty Faao."
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. Gianna gave Arthas a wink. The latter immediately coughed lightly, took out a simple silver ring from his arms, and placed it in front of the Pope. He looked around,
Lowered his voice:
"Your Majesty, these are the trophies we got after a difficult battle when we encountered the Dark Blade King in Northrend... There is something in it that I think you should take a look at."
"Um?"
The somewhat tired Fao Mian blinked his eyes. He instinctively felt that Alsace, who had escaped from death, might have brought him a problem...
"What?"
Fao asked, Alsace let out a sigh of relief and said:
"This ring was taken from Tyrion's finger after I cut off his wrist. It has complicated cipher text on it, but with the help of the dragon friends, we opened it. This
There are a lot of evil materials in the ring, and we have destroyed those blasphemous things, but there is one thing in it that even the well-informed Red Dragon Queen doesn't know its origins."
As he spoke, Arthas, with the help of Jaina, took out a black box from the silver ring. He carefully placed it in front of Fao, and then explained:
"Since this thing is carried by Tyrion, it proves that it must be very important to the King of Dark Blade, and I can feel that... this thing has a great connection with the Shadow Demon Sword in his hand."
"Pa"
The box was opened, and a dark, deep, and strange dark power rushed out from the box. The other kings immediately responded with a fight, but the next moment, the wide-eyed Pope stretched out his finger and chanted
Following the sacred scriptures, and between the beats of the golden holy light, the dark power was pressed back into the box.
Only then did everyone see clearly what was placed in the box.
They were gem-like fragments, like corners cut off from a complete gem. It could be seen that the cutter was very skilled in craftsmanship. Even these scraps did not damage the internal structure of the gem.
And these scattered gems themselves seem to contain the entire universe of stars. In the dark light, there are light points of stars beating in them. If you look at the texture of the gems themselves, this is not at all
It is undoubtedly the most beautiful treasure that everyone has ever seen, but the desperate dark aura exuding from it means that this gem itself is not simple.
"I've seen it!"
Fa'ao stared at the few gem fragments in the box, and said in a serious and low voice:
"A few years ago, in Lordaeron, I saw it! It was a trophy obtained by the great knight Mograine in the Burning Steppes War. He showed it to me, but the gem was not just that, it was
It's a gem the size of a fist... How did it fall into Tyrion's hands? And it was cut into pieces like this... Wait, Arthas, you just said, these gems and the Dark Blade
Is it related to the magic sword in the king’s hand?”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Alsace nodded cautiously:
"I have been in close contact with that sharp magic sword that can summon a dark sword shadow to attack the opponent. I can feel that the aura coming from the blade is exactly the same as the fragments of these gems. That sword should be made of this piece.
Forged from the body of the gemstone.”
"Holy light is above."
Upon hearing the news, Fa'ao immediately closed his eyes in pain and drew religious symbols on his chest:
"If I had carefully observed the dark gem sent by Lord Mograine at that time, maybe I would have been able to see its threat. If we had destroyed it in advance, maybe the Dark Blade King would not have obtained the dark weapon.
, Lothar will not... This is all my fault, Holy Light, please forgive me."
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, do you think that this gemstone is very similar to the "angry heart" that the prophet used to help us?"
As a naval commander who had personally experienced the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, Drake stared at the dark gem in the box. After a moment, he said to the self-blaming Fao:
"Although the power emitted is completely different, I can feel that maybe they come from the same source... I also asked the prophet about the heart of anger, and the prophet told me that it was inherited from the ancestors of the Draenei people.
There are 7 treasures... Could this black gem be..."
Faao closed his eyes and thought for a moment. When he opened his eyes, the old man's eyes were full of determination:
"Then invite the prophet to come over! Now, right away!"
