The atmosphere in the tightly guarded headquarters was stagnant. Herod, Darion, and Jaina, after listening to Old Mograine's chilling description, all fell into a self-contradictory surprise.
Once known as "Holy Light Avatar", Grand Knight who was given the surname "Lightbringer", the symbol of Order of the Silver Hand, the Hero who almost single-handedly supported the entire broken country after the demise of Lordaeron, is this Corruption?
And to eradicate the description of Mograine Grand Knight, Lord Uther may have turned into a dark monster more terrifying than Arthas?
Holy Light is above! This is definitely news that will shatter people's outlook on life.
Everyone was shocked. Jaina was even in panic. He grabbed Dick's palm and felt the sweat in Young Lady's palm. Dick squinted his eyes and put his other hand on Young Lady's hand. He looked at Old Mograine and seemed to be organizing his words. After more than ten seconds, he spoke,
"Grand Knight, you already have Ashbringer. I believe you have also seen my Fire of Justice. If you have a chance, you can also meet Quel'Thalas's Sun King, Kael'thas-Sunstrider The Flamestrike in your hand, you are a well-informed Bigwigs, I want to ask, how do these unique weapons make you feel?"
Dick's question was somewhat abrupt. In fact, it had nothing to do with the topic they had discussed before. However, Old Mograine keenly understood another meaning from Dick's words. He Ashen raised his eyebrows. After thinking for a few minutes, Grand Knight said with some uncertainty,
"Actually, when I took Ashbringer from His Majesty Magni, this sword gave me a unique sense of familiarity."
With that said, Grand Knight placed the Greatsword behind him on the table. When he pulled away the sword wrapped on it, a domineering Holy Light aura swept across the entire hall in an instant.
That was beyond the warmth of ordinary Holy Light. Even Herod, who was also Paladin, felt a trace of burning skin from this light. Champion of Stratholme Regiment looked at the Greatsword on the table, his eyes shining with incredible light.
It was a silver-white Greatsword. Different from the general double-sided Greatsword, this sword was more similar to the machete used by Orcs back then, and it was the most destructive straight-edged Slashing Sword. On the sword, Fel Runes composed of dots of light floated back and forth, adding a mysterious feeling to this murderous weapon.
Behind the straight sword blade, in an arc-shaped depression, the crystal, the crystal that old Mograine called the "Ashbringer", was floating in it. Its surface was engraved with the palm mark of the Knights of the Silver Hand by the skilled dwarf king. Behind the sword was a strange "L"-shaped thick hilt, alternately red and yellow, and finally a red counterweight with the Mograine family emblem printed on it.
This sword is completely different from Fire of Justice. It was born for Retribution Evil. Behind it, all the darkness will turn into Ashes.
While everyone was admiring the highly offensive Artifact, High Knight Alexandros's narration continued. He reached out and grasped the hilt of Ashbringer, with a hint of nostalgia in his tone.
"When I first held the hilt of this sword, I felt a sense of familiarity. Although the nature of the power is different, I feel that the power contained in this sword and your Warhammer should be consistent. They are both interpretations of different concepts of Holy Light."
Having said this, the old knight stopped, glanced at Dick, and continued,
"If I guess correctly, this Ashbringer is the aggressiveness of Holy Light, which is the embodiment of Power of Retribution, and your Fire of Justice, although it is also used in battles, I can feel that it is the power of Redemption, even though you are not proficient in the Healing spell of Holy Light."
Speaking of which,
Old Mograine had a glimmer of understanding in his heart. Looking at Dick's smiling expression, a flash of thinking flashed through his mind. He exclaimed, "That Runeblade! Those Runeblade and Frostmourne, I understand... No wonder, no wonder you said that only that sword can save Uther... I see..."
"Huh?"
Old Mograine looked like he knew all the secrets, which made the three people around him very dissatisfied. Jaina turned his questioning gaze to Dick. The latter looked at her, opened his mouth generously, showed a bright smile, and squinted his eyes to tell the answer to the riddle.
"Grand Knight is right. Fire of Justice and Ashbringer represent two interpretations of Holy Light. They are the embodiment of different attributes of the same kind of power. This has risen to the level of understanding of power. Anna, you I have also seen the Flamestrike in the hand of Kael'thas. What I want to tell you is that it is also one of the many Artifact hidden by Azeroth. It is the interpretation of the secret of the magic Faol, Flame power."
Dick stretched out his hand, touched Jaina's hair, and said to the expectant Young Lady,
"And the "Ebonchill" you are about to pursue, the interpretation of the power of Ice, believe me, that is the most suitable weapon for you!"
"Uther Grand Knight found his liberation. The Longsword, Apocalypse, and Frostmourne are the interpretation of the two states of death. According to what I learned from Prophet Judging from the knowledge learned from Medivh, Frostmourne tends to control death, while Apocalypse and Apocalypse do not control Undead's ability, but it is a manifestation of the aggression towards death, Grand Knight, if I guessed correctly, you can also hear that whisper when you are close to Uther, right?"
Old Mograine nodded, he seemed to be lost in memories again, and his tone became sad,
"That was when Uther and I set out to return to Ironforge. That night, I once again tried to persuade Uther to put down the sword, but just when I tried to snatch Runeblade from his hands, that voice, that gloomy, corrosive voice, sounded in my mind, and it was confusing me., tricked me into attacking Uther, tricked me into snatching it from Uther. At that moment, I felt like I was in Hell...Holy Light. I couldn't believe that Uther faced that voice all day long. It was the same experience as Hell!"
Grand Knight finished speaking with a sad look on his face, and then turned his suspicious eyes on Dick.
"Also, I'm curious, where did you get this secret knowledge?"
"Grand Knight, I heard that you were also present when Black-Robed Prophet warned King Terenas. Before you set off, I also told you that it was Kirin Tor Medivh who had died and was in the soul state Resurrection. In fact, I was fortunate enough to study with him for a short time."
Dick picked up the cold teacup and drank all the tea in one gulp to cover up the fleeting nervousness on his face. He pursed his lips and said to Grand Knight,
"Grand Knight, you don't have to worry about Mr. Uther turning into a monster like Arthas. During the time when I was studying with Prophet, I learned the secret of Apocalypse, the Runeblade that Mr. Uther is holding. It is a real Runeblade. It has been bewitching the will of the sword holder and making him obey. But when the sword holder truly obeys, his soul will be swallowed by Runeblade."
Looking at Grand Knight who jumped up in surprise, Dick stretched out his hand, interrupted him, and signaled him to listen to what he said.
"As for Mr. Uther's will, I believe you, who have fought side by side with him for more than ten years, know best. He is not someone who is easily defeated. As long as he does not yield, Runeblade will not be able to control him, and when fighting with In the confrontation with Runeblade's bewitchment, Mr. Uther's will will only become stronger and stronger. Please believe me, he will eventually regain all his sanity and completely get rid of the influence of death on him. At that time, the Uther you are familiar with will come back."
Dick glanced at the worried Mograine and added something in his mind, which was what he didn't say.
"Even if Uther fails, his soul will be swallowed by Apocalypse, and he will never become the next Arthas."
After Dick finished speaking, the dull atmosphere in the whole room became a little more relaxed. Even Mograine, who had always been very stressed, finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Dick tell the secret of Artifact, Jaina Young Lady heard these mysteries of Artifact, and began to have a little fantasy about "Ebonchill" in his heart.
But another young guy was aroused by Dick's words.
Darion, after thinking for a few minutes, this lucky guy finally couldn't help but stand up. He glanced at his father, gently put Blade of Wrath behind him on the table, and asked in a low voice,
"Brother Dick... Then the "Old Geezer" I am using now, is it the same?"
Before Darion finished speaking, Blade of Wrath, who was close to Ashbringer, started to vibrate violently. This time it was not a small fight like before. Darion could feel that the sword "came alive" instantly, and its buzzing was a provocation!
One of the aggressive Artifact, Blade of Wrath, or Strom’kar, felt the sharp and domineering aura coming from Ashbringer next to him. This aura It was regarded as a challenge, which was unbearable for this wild weapon. At the moment it shook, the brutal iron blood, madness and desperate will to kill, the kind of temperament that only existed in the bravest Champion, filled the whole room.
This momentum woke up the thoughtful Old Mograine. His eyes immediately fell on Darion, who was holding Blade of Wrath with both hands and using all his strength to suppress the provocation of "Old Geezer".
At this moment, the sudden change of the younger son and the reason why he chose the rude Warrior's Path exploded in Old Mograine's heart. With his knowledge and the secret of "Artifact" just mentioned by Dick, how could he not know that the weapon that the younger son had always carried on his back was actually a Artifact!
No wonder...
At this moment, the old knight's previous choice of Anger for Darion, and his ardent hope that Darion would inherit Paladin's Path, all turned into water and dissipated.
How could he not see that Dick valued Darion, and even gave Artifact, a treasure that could cause war, to Darion for use, and as the user of Ashbringer himself, he could vaguely I feel that these Artifact of Pride have their own souls. If he continues to force Darion to follow the path of Paladin, it will undoubtedly make this Artifact choose to abandon Darion.
After weighing the two aspects, Old Mograine silently put away Ashbringer and wrapped it with Enchanting's Runecloth. Unlike Darion who could not control Artifact, Old Mograine's strength was already the top of Azeroth. Based on his understanding of Holy Light, controlling an Ashbringer was as simple as eating and drinking for him.
"Darion, my son... practice well in Stratholme Regiment! Don't lose the face of Mograine family!"
Grand Knight Before walking out of the headquarters, he said something to his son, who had his head lowered, and then decisively turned around and left.
"Father!"
Darion did not expect that his father, who had always been rigid and strict, would actually support his rebellious behavior. But after all, he was only a 19-year-old child. He had no idea what Old Mograine was thinking. At this time, he was simply moved by his father's love.
The purpose of Grand Knight's visit this time has been achieved. After confirming that the future road of his friend Uther is relatively safe, he will rush back to West Darrowmere as soon as possible. With Ashbringer in hand, defeating Scourge is no longer impossible!
But Dick was still sitting there, holding in his hand the latest battle report left by Old Mograine. After seeing the information "Tirisfal region Undead's army is suspected of gathering", Dick's brows raised. He knew that Dalaran... was being targeted.
But just after everyone left, Jaina Young Lady's eyes rolled, and suddenly he gently took Dick's hand and leaned his head on Dick's shoulder. This action made Dick very warm, but Young Lady's next words turned Dick's face into a bitter melon.
"Little rascal! I want you to do me a favor."
"Ah?"
"Mentor wrote to me this morning, asking me to submit an academic paper as a graduation assessment. Originally, I planned to write some theories about Ice's magic, but now, I find that what you just said is very interesting."
"...Anna, my baby, I want to help you, but you have to know that these Forbidden Knowledge shouldn't..."
"~Help me, okay~be good~"
"Okay... okay..."
"~So good~mua~"
