Kenan Lieti, the Tauren possessed by Experiment 335, did not have a smooth start in his career at Thunder Bluff. He was too weak and did not know magic, so he could not even become a centurion.
Although they can Stealth, the Tauren have hooves, making too much noise when they walk, which makes them inherently unsuitable to be thieves.
With no other option, Kenan Lieti had to take a risky gamble, since he wasn't afraid of death anyway.
His methods were not only despicable and shameless, but also insidious and vile. He used the Orb of Deception to transform himself into a Gnome, spied on Cairne Bloodhoof's favorite youngest daughter Xiaolan Bloodhoof, while she was bathing, and even took photos as evidence.
Xiaolan Bloodhoof is a very traditional female Tauren. After being seen naked, she cried bitterly and vowed to marry no one but Kenan Lieti.
After becoming Cairne Bloodhoof's son-in-law, Kenan Lieti rose rapidly through the ranks. With his insightful vision of the future and his exceptional eloquence, he was successfully appointed High Priest of Thunder Bluff on the recommendation of his chieftain father-in-law.
"Judging by the time, Arthas hasn't killed Kel'Thuzad yet, so he's not too late."
Experiment 335 has a great wish: to change the tragedy of the Lich King Arthas.
"As long as Arthas doesn't touch Frostmourne, Lordaeron won't become a land of the Undead. Now that I have this opportunity, I'm determined to do something. To hell with the idea that history can't be changed, I'm going to show everyone."
Leaning on the airship's railing, Experiment 335 pointed to the ground with an air of triumphant arrogance, and solemnly addressed his two attendants:
"This is Lordaeron, the most prosperous human kingdom. We are about to meet the great King Terenas, who established the Orcs internment camps, allowing the Orcs to survive after the war. In the future battles against the Burning Legion, the Alliance and the Horde fought side by side, and the Orcs played an indelible role in saving Azeroth."
"The person I admire and worship the most is Thrall, the great leader of the Orcs. He was so just, kind, and approachable. He dedicated his life to the peace between the Alliance and the Horde, and in the near future, he saved Azeroth more than once. He is truly Savior."
The two attendants looked down in the direction pointed to by Experiment 335 and saw one quiet town after another, vast stretches of barren farmland, and herds of deer leisurely grazing on wheat seedlings in the fields.
Even a human cannot see it.
"Isn't this the largest human kingdom? Why is there not a single person here?" the attendant asked curiously.
"Perhaps it's because we flew too high." Experiment 335 sensed something was wrong.
"Look, there's a group of humans over there!" one of the attendants exclaimed excitedly. "So humans like to hide in the ground!"
"Humans aren't Earthen, so why would they hide in the ground!"
Experiment 335 scoffed at this.
Below the airship, in the silent Wilderness, a group of Undead emerged from the earth to bask in the sun, pointing and gesturing at the airship in the sky.
"Is that a meat steak flying in the air?" an Undead asked, drooling.
"Fool, that's Dragon. I saw it with my own eyes when I was alive, during my adventures in Northrend."
"Don't talk nonsense, that's clearly a flying Kodo," another Undead said.
"These are Undead!"
Experiment 335 more knowledgeable than his two attendants and could even distinguish between the Undead and humans.
"What exactly is going on?"
Experiment 335 was puzzled, but quickly figured it out. It wasn't surprising that there were Undead in Lordaeron at this time of year, but the fact that there wasn't a single living person in sight was rather perplexing.
The first to discover the airship was Alexandros Mograine. Old Mograine was patrolling the Tirisfal Glades, searching for surviving civilians and tirelessly replenishing the Orcs' rations when he discovered the airship about to land.
Old Mograine had his men surround the airship. Upon learning that the airship came from across the ocean and that a distinguished messenger from Thunder Bluff wished to meet King Terenas, Old Mograine sensed the gravity of the matter and immediately reported it to Uther.
Uther considered it for a moment:
"The reputation of the Silver Hand must be as pure as the bricks of Azeroth, unblemished in the slightest. We must not let the alien races across the seas know of our deeds, for that would bring shame upon the banner of the Silver Hand. We must establish a glorious and great image in the hearts of the Tauren, and the name of the Silver Hand must be passed down to future generations."
And so, a grand performance began.
Lordaeron is a tomb, and its inhabitants, who survive by Soakwater, are as fragile as dried-out straw.
Uther wouldn't let the Tauren see this horrific scene; it would be a disgrace to the Silver Hand and a shameful disgrace to the Paladins.
Fortunately, Uther's territory Thorium Territory, was not far from Lordaeron. He sent men to hold off the Tauren envoy while simultaneously dispatching a large number of civilians from Thorium Territory to occupy several streets leading from Lordaeron to the Royal Palace.
When Experiment 335 entered Lordaeron, what he saw was exactly what Lordaeron had imagined.
The streets were teeming with pedestrians, shoulder to shoulder, and the shops on both sides of the street were bustling with activity, displaying goods from all over the country. Vendors were calling out their wares loudly, and customers were constantly bargaining, creating a lively and extraordinary scene.
"Look, this is the most prosperous city in human history. It truly lives up to its reputation."
Experiment 335 was captivated by the bustling city, and his doubts vanished instantly. His two attendants were also dumbfounded. Thunder Bluff was far more prosperous and lively than any other city.
Old Mograine led the way, guiding the three envoys into the Royal Palace of Lordaeron, Royal Palace the Guards had been replaced by members of the Silver Hand.
The elderly King Terenas sat on his throne, looking slightly embarrassed. Uther had asked him to play along, and of course he dared not say anything, so he could only go along with the act.
Uther, however, sent a large amount of grain and meat, making the old King, who had not tasted meat for many days, unable to resist swallowing his saliva.
He had a premonition that this was probably his last supper.
The dinner was exceptionally lavish, accompanied by beautiful music, as waiters continuously served various dishes.
Braised beef, roasted beef, boiled beef, steamed beef, beef soup.
There was even a golden-brown roasted calf covered in milk cheese.
Experiment 335 didn't mind these things at all, chewing on the tender and delicious beef with gusto, his mouth dripping with oil, while clinking glasses with Uther and Mograine.
He recounted the customs and traditions of Kalimdor, the power of the Mulgore Tauren tribe, the cruelty of the Centaur tribe, and his loving married life with Xiaolan Bloodhoof.
When the alcohol was almost gone, Experiment 335, burping, said, emboldened by the alcohol:
"Paladins, do you know why I, Kenan Lieti, am able to become the High Priest of Thunder Bluff? It is because I can see the future, and my prophecies have never been wrong."
Experiment 335 raised a glass to the taciturn King Terenas:
"Your King, please forgive my bluntness, but the end of Lordaeron is nigh."
Old Mograine's expression changed, Uther was even more stunned.
The end of Lordaeron is nigh. Everyone present knows perfectly well that the Orcs army could arrive at any moment. Lordaeron has no soldiers to defend it, and its fall is inevitable.
Did the Priest actually see through everything? Was all this acting for nothing?
Experiment 335 looked around, seeing everyone's surprised expressions, and felt extremely pleased with himself, thinking that his moment to shine had arrived.
"The key lies with Prince Arthas; just days from now, he will kill Kel'Thuzad in Andorhal. It's actually a conspiracy."
