Emperor Lothar was magnanimous throughout his life.
He believed in an open and aboveboard way of governing. In this emperor's view, there was no need to hide anything correct from the people. The same was true of his character. He would not pretend to be mysterious and hide anything. This is probably the same as his military career, which he spent half his life in the military.
Related to experience.
But just like the emperors who have gone down in history in many civilizations, Lothar also left many unsolved mysteries after his great death in battle, including the fact that after Emperor Lothar died in battle, he was completely lost in the world.
The Emperor's sword, the War Destroyer, was on the battlefield of Whispering Harbor. To this day, the Empire continues to send out elite agents to search for traces of the War Destroyer all over the world.
This sword is of course very symbolic, but according to some rumors, it seems that only the direct bloodline of Emperor Thoradin can activate this legendary weapon. Therefore, the empire's search for this lost sword is actually more for the second time.
In the emperor's handover ceremony, although Emperor Lothar did not leave any regulations similar to "only those who hold a War Destroyer can be called an emperor," for the electors who are interested in competing for the emperor's throne, it is obviously better to hold a War Destroyer.
Represent one's own "legitimacy".
After all, in the current history of mankind, there is no object that can so clearly interpret and represent the meaning of "the common master of mankind".
However, don't forget that princes like them were important members of the "Sword Hunting" team organized by Lothar back then. Of course, it was more of a formality.
No matter how crazy Lothar was, he could not let the princes, who were only 19 years old at the time, go deep into the legendary dangerous places with him.
Therefore, when Masters Lothar and Antonidas went deep into the mountains and lakes on the border of Lordaeron in search of swords, Varian and the others were more of a guard. But even so, Varian and other young kings were very concerned about this.
My understanding of swords is also obviously deeper.
The War Destroyer does not require the direct bloodline of Emperor Thoradin to be activated. This is what Lothar told them personally. As long as the bloodline has the inheritance of Emperor Thoradin, that is, as long as it is the bloodline of the first generation barbarian king.
, in theory, everyone can get the right to use the War Destroyer, but today, after 2800 years of development of human civilization, judging from the frequency of intermarriage among nobles, almost the entire bloodline in the human noble circle has
can extend to the barbarian king,
Even most civilians have a meager bloodline belonging to Emperor Thoradin in their veins. It is not pure, but it is enough.
But the most important question is that this sword has its own consciousness. Legendary weapons have their own consciousness. They choose their masters, not their masters who choose them. Therefore, it is not enough to have the blood of the Barbarian King.
You must rely on yourself to get the "recognition" of the legendary sword.
Finally, there is another secret about this sword...a secret that even kings like Varian who have participated in the "Sword Hunting" team don't know.
Lothar originally took this sword from the head of an ancient monster that resembled a giant insect. It is said that Thoradin, the king of the barbarians who mysteriously disappeared 2800 years ago, wanted to fight against the invasion of dark forces.
In order to protect the people at the foot of the mountain, and with a desperate last blow, this sword directly penetrated the head of the mysterious insect monster, causing it to be seriously injured, and Emperor Thoradin also died in the dark realm.
Lothar never revealed this secret to anyone else, and the only master Antonidas who knew this secret was dead. After the two of them took out the War Destroyer, the seriously injured bug from 2800 years ago woke up and tried to kill
He tried to kill them, but the bug was too weak... and was finally killed by Lothar and the Archmage together.
Lothar didn't know the origin of the bug. In order to avoid causing panic in Lordaeron, Lothar concealed the bug monster. However, the human emperor did not know that the bug was actually a monster named "Krasis".
The monster was the leader of the Aqir Empire when it was at its most prosperous, the most loyal and powerful general of the ancient god Yog-Saron, the world-destroying vanguard infected with the power of the void, and had almost destroyed the ancient world.
Troll Empire.
That monster also intercepted and killed the powerful Titan Guardian Tyr in the past, and ultimately directly led to the death of the powerful Tyr. It was the ancient god of death and fear. When it comes to pure power, they
It's even the same as the ancient gods... And the War Destroyer, this legendary weapon is inserted into the head of such a void creature, and it suppresses evil creatures for 2800 years according to the last wish of Emperor Thoradin.
Logically speaking, this weapon should have been corroded by the power of the void a long time ago, but no... Not only has it not been corroded, this legendary long sword has also accumulated a powerful resistance to the power of the void in the thousands of years of will confrontation.
Resistance and lethality.
The fact that Lothar finally used this sword to kill Krasis, who was unmatched by mortals, already explained the problem... This Emperor's Sword not only has the ability to materialize the anger of the warrior, but also has extremely strong effects on void creatures.
In terms of lethality, it can even give the sword holder strong resistance to the void.
This is how Varian was able to finally stay sane in the chaotic realm of the Shadow of the Old God...
After Tyrion, the Blade of Dawn, forgot the Council of Kings, this legendary sword also recognized him!
Now, with the sharp blade in hand, there is only one thing left for Varian to do...
"Shua"
The human warrior raised his head, and Varian's blue eyes burst out with a wild look like a wounded lone wolf. He subconsciously licked the blood on his lips. The smell of blood was like the most delicious food.
It made every cell in his body come alive.
He stared intently at the shadow of the ancient god who was trying to corrupt the wilderness demigod Agamaggan. As the masonry beneath his feet shattered, the warrior pulled out a phantom entwined with endless thunder and fire in the air.
Warrior...Charge!

"Click, click"
The lifeless body of Sword Emperor Vikranis is still lying twitching in this realm of chaos. The powerful insect emperor's frightening crystal war sword is stuck on the ground on one side. This sword is as wide as a door panel.
The crystal giant sword is decorated like an insect beetle, and the hilt is also decorated with black skulls and spikes, which looks very wild.
But unfortunately, its owner can no longer wield it.
The Insect Emperor did not die from the raiders' attack. Although it had suffered heavy losses during the siege by warriors and demigods, its final cause of death was because its soul was taken away.
Along with its younger brother Demon Emperor Veklor, the tenacious and powerful souls of the Qiraji twin emperors were ruthlessly taken away by the dark god they believed in, and used to shape the violent demigod Agama of the wilderness.
Gan's chain.
C'Thun's phantom did not feel that what he did was wrong. It "mercifully" gave the Twin Emperors powerful power, gave the Qiraji the ability to evolve, and even helped them attack the invading Kalimdor coalition forces.
As the god that the insect people believe in, it feels that it has achieved its ultimate goal.
But these losers! Weak ones! failed it...
The weak are not worthy of becoming servants of the ancient gods! Fortunately, their souls are somewhat useful.
The phantom of the ancient god let out a low laugh. This huge eyeball was lifelike. It was suspended in the darkness. The pupils in its eyes were staring at the wilderness demigod who was trapped in place by two soul chains.
Agamaggan, the wound on this resurrected demigod has not yet healed, but it still has brute strength that even the ancient gods were surprised by.
"Death...is not far from you..."
The blasphemous and depraved voice of darkness resounded in Agamaggan's mind, causing this mountain-like creature to struggle crazily. As a wilderness demigod, its soul is as powerful as its body. However, it wants to
What he faced was a terrifying monster that existed from the beginning of the world and continues to this day.
That is the darkness that has shrouded the entire world for millions of years. It is far beyond what a wilderness demigod can fight against. Although C'Thun's body is still trapped in the Titan's cage, he is doing everything he can to free him.
Escaped, but even the illusion infused with the power of the void in front of him was not something that Agamaggan could resist.
After all, this is C'Thun's territory...
"You have no way out... There won't be one in this life! There won't be one in the next life either!"
C'Thun's voice sounded again, and the strange voice was like a wet python, tying up the soul under the wilderness demigod's body bit by bit with an attitude about to swallow its prey.
It seems that it can't wait to feast.
The supplies obtained by devouring the soul of a wilderness demigod are more useful than those from devouring a hundred thousand creatures... Maybe, maybe the day it can escape is today!
A touch of cruel joy and desperate expectation emerged from C'Thun's hazy thoughts.
After it breaks free... what does it do?
By the way... Find Xalatath who is hiding behind the scenes and started this stupid war, and devour her last remaining body in the world. The soul of an ancient god will definitely make it go away in a short time.
He has returned to his full strength, even stronger...even surpassing the original Y'Shaarj...
"Your courage has completely disappeared."
The whispers of the ancient gods blew through Agamaggan's body like a cold storm, causing the struggling demigods of the wilderness to tremble, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes as bright as stars.
Obviously, the ancient god has begun to twist its will.
"You will be abandoned by your friends."
"You would betray your friends."
The tentacles extended from C'Thun's invisible soul bound Agamaggan tighter and tighter, and then turned into an open dark fang, biting Agamaggan's soul fiercely.
Ah, the taste of flesh and blood...so wonderful!
The Ancient God was so addicted to the beauty of this devouring power that it even relaxed its vigilance at this moment. It did not even realize that behind the eyeball illusion, a figure had stood up tremblingly.
"You are too weak."
C'Thun's soul devouring made Agamaggan feel extreme pain. The wilderness demigod began to struggle again. Even the immortal one felt the coming of the end. The desperate struggle made C'Thun's
The illusion had to devote most of its power to suppressing it.
After all, this is just an illusion, not a powerful entity. Otherwise, it would just be a tentacle with a suction cup that can suck up all the life energy in front of you.
"The void sucks your soul...hehe, it enjoys it slowly and contentedly."
C'Thun began to enjoy his delicious meal again, but at this moment, a hot and threatening edge struck from behind it like an assassin's dagger. C'Thun's eyeballs turned in an instant, and the terrifying
The pupils dilated at this moment... It saw Varian covered in blood, the hero it almost killed, the image of him dragging his steps to assassinate him, and the image that made it feel very uncomfortable.
, a special-shaped sword wrapped in blue-white thunder and fire.
"Your heart is about to explode!"
C'Thun's whispers sounded like thunder in Varian's heart. The warrior's heart felt like being stabbed by a dagger at this moment, causing him to spit out a mouthful of hot blood. But even in this extreme pain,
The wild smile on Varian's face, which was covered in blood, and his forward stabbing movements were not out of shape at all.
"You can't...touch me!"
C'Thun's voice echoed in the palace, and everything in front of Varian was distorted. Even the thunderfire sword in his hand turned into a poisonous snake full of sharp teeth, about to bite his wrist, and the black
The soul shock pierced Varian like a war spear. At this critical moment, a red figure roared between the two.
"Lok "tar ogar!"
The trembling old orc stood in front of Varian like a shield. The next moment, he was hit by a dark spear in the body, and his whole body flew backwards, but in front of Varian's eyes... the blood-spattered
In the dark mist...the enemy is already close in front of you!
There are no obstacles on the road to charge!
The difference between warriors is life or death!
"Bang!"
The scorching, thunderous long sword easily tore apart the void power all over C'Thun's illusion, and then pierced hard into the center of the pupil of the constantly moving eyeball.
"Danglang"
Like the sound of breaking glass, Varian felt a storm of power blowing through the entire palace, involving him and everything around him. He heard Agamaggan's angry roar, and a sound of if
There was a scream of Ruowu, and then between the collision and oppression of endless energy, Varian was thrown into the sky and fell into the earth.
Before he completely passed out, his eyes looked towards the top of the palace, and he vaguely saw a slender figure holding a little girl's back slowly walking into the darkness.
That's... Tyrion?
He...why is he here?
——————————
"They've reached the next level..."
Tyrion, who was watching the battle, stood up, pulled the reluctant Yuna and turned around and walked into the passage of the Realm of Death. The great lord said in a gentle tone:
"The power of that sword is really impressive... The enemy of the Titans is so brave..."
"Varian's knife test is over, now it's my turn..."
