Eitrigg offered Thrall the secret recipe and explained it in detail.
"Are you saying my hidden ailment is due to the loss of my Innate Divine Essence?"
Thrall didn't quite understand what Innate Divine Essence was, but he couldn't admit he didn't know in front of his subordinates, as that would make him seem unskilled. So he could only pretend to understand and feign sudden enlightenment.
"Now that you mention it, I understand. I've heard of Innate Divine Essence before; it's the foundation of all life. I was wondering why the Guardian's Magic Shield was ineffective. So that's the secret technique Kael'thas used. I think he must have paid a huge price. Eitrigg, I trust you with your work; you haven't disappointed me after all."
Eitrigg secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the old Orcs could finally relax and wouldn't have to be used as fertilizer anymore.
"We have the recipe, but the ingredients on it..." Eitrigg looked troubled.
Thrall stared at the precious recipe; the ingredients were either incredibly valuable or extremely rare.
The heart's blood of the Red Dragon Queen, the marrow of the chief Orcs Warrior, the horn of the Dreadlord, the hair of the Guardian, and the skin of the most beautiful woman in the world's feet.
"We must gather all the materials listed here as soon as possible." Thrall pondered for a long time, then said fiercely:
"The Red Dragon Queen's heart blood isn't hard to obtain. Dragons are so enormous; losing a little of their blood won't kill them. The chief Orcs Warrior is naturally Saurfang the Great. For my sake, let him contribute some bone marrow; he'll have absolutely no objection. The Dreadlord's horn isn't hard to get either. Immediately bribe some reliable mercenaries to ambush the Dreadlord Tichondrius in secret. Don't kill him; just pull out his horn, and then frame the Scourge."
"As for Guardian Medivh's hair, it's not difficult to find a few strands by bribing those around Medivh. The most difficult part of this recipe is actually the skin from the feet of the most beautiful woman in the world. How are we supposed to find that?"
Eitrigg immediately adopted a quick-witted and capable demeanor, his face full of flattery:
"I've heard that in faraway Nagrand there lives a beautiful maiden named Agna, known as the most beautiful Orcs, oh no, the most beautiful woman in the world."
"Bring her here immediately," Thrall ordered.
Eitrigg nodded quickly in agreement, then hurriedly said, "My Savior, I've thought of a good way to cover it up. I plan to find some Gnome and Goblins and create some scandals so that no one will know about your hidden ailment."
Thrall's expression darkened. The mention of the word "hidden ailment" stung him, but he knew his reputation was more important at this moment. He nodded and said, "Good idea, but be careful. The subject of the scandal can't be Orcs woman. They're not good at keeping secrets. Besides, not having conceived a child would easily arouse suspicion. How about a female Gnome?"
"The size difference is too great. My suggestion is a female Ogre, to demonstrate that the Guardian is strong, powerful, and majestic," Eitrigg said respectfully.
"The suggestion is good, but where are we going to find a female Ogre?" Thrall was also stumped.
After some discussion, the two decided to focus their rumored relationship on Jaina.
"I heard Kael'thas is coming to Dalaran. I wonder what he'll think if he finds out that Jaina, whom he's been pursuing so desperately, is having an affair with me, the Warchief." Thrall was quite satisfied with this plan that killed two birds with one stone.
After Eitrigg left, Thrall secretly examined his hidden ailment.
It had initially shown some improvement, but after learning of the deficiency in Innate Divine Essence, it is now no longer effective.
The Scourge is advancing slowly, its target Dalaran.
Robbie hadn't expected that the Orcs would enter the Dalaran Kingdom through the Portal in Silvermoon City.
Dalaran had been captured twice by the Orcs, suffering heavy losses and leaving behind a large number of human Restless Souls. Robbie reminded Arthas that he must keep a close eye on the movements of High Archmage Antonidas.
"Thrall and Jaina, that despicable couple conspired to tempt Antonidas into summoning Archimonde, Antonidas was tempted." Arthas's expression changed. Archimonde, the Demons Lord —what a terrifying being that was.
"Archimonde!" History has indeed come to pass. Robbie took a deep breath.
Ten thousand years later, Queen Azshara's reckless use of magic attracted the attention of Sargeras of the Burning Legion.
In that era, a large number of Demons from the Burning Legion entered Azeroth through the Well of Eternity. Among them, Archimonde the Defiler the Defiler was the most notable, known as the strongest creature to ever walk on the land of Azeroth in all known history. Led by Archimonde the Defiler, the Scourge launched a catastrophic and devastating invasion, destroying and slaughtering everything in their path across the ancient land of Kalimdor.
If Malfurion Stormrage hadn't had the help of some Demigods to successfully destroy the Portal, causing turmoil in the Well of Eternity, triggering the Sundering, and successfully banishing the Demons Legions, who knows what the consequences would have been?
"Antonidas."
Kel'Thuzad was furious. Dalaran, after all, where he had learned and grown, and he had deep feelings for it. Kel'Thuzad was also one of the Council of Six. He gritted his teeth and said, "I knew it. An Archmage who focuses on smooth talk and playing both sides wouldn't care about the safety of Azeroth at all."
Upon learning this news, Kael'thas was also unable to remain calm.
When the Elven Prince heard that the Orcs had entered Dalaran, he was already filled with hatred for Antonidas.
Although Kael'thas was also a member of the Council of Six of Dalaran, it was more due to his illustrious status and the secret arts of the Sunstrider family.
His influence was actually quite limited, Kael'thas, who was a womanizer, didn't care about such things.
"Most of the mages in Dalaran are nobles. Hmph, how many of them can leave our Sunstrider family, those Spellstealer Wyrm? Antonidas's plan won't be so easy to achieve. I will travel throughout the Dalaran Kingdom and persuade the nobles of Dalaran to put pressure on Antonidas."
History is not easily changed, Archimonde's invasion is unavoidable. Robbie pondered what countermeasures to take and humbly asked Kel'Thuzad, "What preparations does Antonidas need to make if he wants to summon Archimonde?"
In Necromancy, Kel'Thuzad was probably the chief in Dalaran, and thus had considerable authority to speak on the subject. After a moment's thought, he said:
"Azeroth has a powerful magical defense layer, which first requires an unstable region, enough spacetime rifts, and a fragile space, which Dalaran can provide. Then there are summoning spells; the Book of Medivh records such spells. But the most difficult thing is the source of magic. To summon Demons Lord as powerful as Archimonde, no mage has enough mana, not even the Guardian Medivh. It may require the combined efforts of all the mages in Dalaran."
According to the Guardians ' historical records, Kel'Thuzad summoned Archimonde almost immediately after obtaining the Book of Medivh.
In reality, this is impossible; it can only fool mortals who don't understand magic. If Archimonde were so easy to summon, the Scourge would have already turned Azeroth into their backyard.
Upon hearing Kel'Thuzad's explanation, Robbie realized that it wouldn't be so easy for Antonidas to summon Archimonde; at the very least, he would need to persuade most of the Dalaran Mages.
"Do we have a way to create a fake Archimonde?" Robbie suggested.
