Chapter 669: The sword of kingly way, the ax of domin

Remember [New] in a second! The point of view of this barrage moved Sharlayan's heart.

"How do you say that?"

[It's just a whim, it's not guaranteed to be correct. 】

[Among the two most famous artifacts during the Arathor Empire period, Stromkar Warbreaker represents the kingly way, and Trollbane should represent the domineering. 】

Stromkar represents kingship, there's no questioning that.

This two-handed sword brings together part of the inherited weapons of the major human tribes, symbolizing the unity and unity of the human clans, and is a proper kingly sword.

Trollbane, the troll slayer, symbolizes killing. Countless trolls have fallen under this battle axe.

According to Merry's letter, it was precisely because of drinking a large amount of troll's regenerative blood that Trollbane could be sublimated into an artifact after being enchanted by mages.

As a witness of the troll war, Merry was very familiar with Trollbane's abilities.

When facing races other than trolls, Trollbane's quality is actually not at the level of a real artifact, and it is a high-level epic weapon like Quel'Sera.

Trollbane has a special ability for trolls. Any trolls injured by this battle ax will completely lose their innate regeneration ability.

Even if the wound inflicted by Trollbane is only a slight abrasion, it is permanently disabled, and the troll's regeneration ability will not resume as the wound heals.

During the Troll War, this battle ax followed the first generation of Trollbane-Ingnaus in the north and south campaigns, and made great contributions to the final victory of the human and elf coalition forces in the war.

Under the background of the times at that time, it is not a problem to say that Trollbane is a weapon representing dominance.

Stromkar Warbreaker is the portable sword of Emperor Thoradin. He was buried in Tyr's tomb along with Thoradin in his later years. It was only unsealed by Sharlayan and his party not long ago.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or necessity, another ancient artifact from the time of the Arathor Empire was also found not long after.

Combined with the clues that Emperor Thoradin deliberately left Anasteria, Sharlayan had reason to suspect that he had premeditated.

Few people know about Trollbane's being taken out. For the time being, only Merry and Tinagosa who acted secretly, and General Haas and Alex who knew the inside story in advance.

This murderous artifact is temporarily kept by Meri. Before Trollbane officially appears in the world, the old lich who is willing to seek knowledge (and die) will definitely study it thoroughly from the inside to the outside.

"Is it a symbol of progress..."

Sharlayan rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "It's not impossible, maybe Emperor Thoradin had already expected that the Arathor Empire would be in trouble in the future, and hoped to use this domineering ax to rekindle the fighting spirit and enterprising spirit of the Arathi people. heart."

"but…"

Valeera spread her hands: "I'm afraid Emperor Thoradin didn't expect that he would die suddenly without a clear designation of an heir."

"Because of the infighting among the heirs, the Arathor Empire collapsed much faster than he expected."

Sharlayan sighed softly: "No one can accurately predict what will happen in the future, not even the Bronze Dragon who is in charge of time."

"It is precisely because it is full of unpredictable variables that our life will not be as boring as if it is arranged in advance."

"Let's get down to business."

Sharlayan snapped his fingers, imitating flames with an arcane technique that he was not very proficient in, and burned the secret letter sent by Meri on the spot.

"Merry is also a little uncertain whether to tell Inselton about Thorbane's reappearance, and he asked us for advice in the letter."

"This problem is really difficult to deal with." Valeera analyzed with her chin in her hand: "Announcing this matter can boost the morale of the Alterac Kingdom in a short period of time, but at the same time it will also increase the morale of the people including Lordaeron. Other human kingdoms covet it."

"As you said, Trollbane represents the hegemony of the Arathor Empire, and its symbolic meaning is very important."

"With the current strength of Alterac Kingdom alone, can it keep this ancient inheritance artifact?"

Sharlayan artifact shook his head solemnly: "If you want to talk about dominance, Terenas, who wants to unify the seven kingdoms of mankind and reproduce Thoradin's great achievements, needs it even more."

"Once Lordaeron knows that Thorbane's battle ax has reappeared, Terenas will continue to raise the stakes on the battlefield, desperately trying to carry the symbol of 'dominance' back home."

[Every man is innocent, but pregnant is guilty. 】

[Let's handle it with caution, I don't recommend letting Intherton know about this too early. 】

【But I don’t think it will be long. After all, Thoradin’s secret room is hidden in the outskirts of Steinbride. With the ability of Ravenholdt’s thieves, sooner or later he will find out. 】

"Um…"

Sharlayan lowered his head and pondered for a while: "How about we let Merry temporarily keep the Trollbane battle-axe in the name of the Tirisfal Council?"

"The Tirisfal Council is also a product of the Arathor Empire period. It has a long history and is relatively neutral among the seven human kingdoms. They will take care of it. Even Terenas would not dare to make small moves blatantly, right?"

[Good idea, if you can't find a suitable owner for Stromkar Warbreaker in Quel'Thalas, you can also send this kingly sword to the Guardian Temple. 】

[Merry can take this opportunity to increase the reputation and influence of the rebuilt Tirisfal Council, so as to attract talents from all races of Azeroth as soon as possible. 】

Stromkar Warbreaker is an artifact of warriors, but there are very few warriors in Quel'Thalas who can be called famous.

Sharlayan didn't want to hand over the artifact to inappropriate people. If he didn't have enough ability to control it, the person holding the artifact would be like the money-giving boy mentioned in the barrage.

The reconstruction of the Tirisfal Council has been put on the agenda, but it is by no means an easy task to rebuild an organization that has been wiped out from scratch.

Even with the help of relevant countries including Dalaran and Quel'Thalas, recruiting talents cannot be completed in a short period of time.

What worries Meri the most is the reputation of the Tirisfal Council. As a hermit organization, the general public has no understanding of the Tirisfal Council.

In the past, when the Risfa Council recruited people, it was basically an internal recommendation, and the members of the Council secretly recruited people they were familiar with and recognized.

After the council was destroyed by Medivh, everything had to start from scratch, and the rebuilt Tirisfal council would definitely not be able to use this inefficient way of recruiting people.

According to the results of discussions between Meri and Sharlayan, the first batch of core personnel must still be drawn from Dalaran and Quel'Thalas, which can be regarded as a continuation of the tradition of the old Tirisfal Council.

For the follow-up talent recruitment plan, Sharlayan suggested adopting a semi-open method, specifically targeting high-end talents in Azeroth.

Most talented people have their own pride and will not be easily persuaded.

That being the case, the reputation of the Tirisfal Council is extremely important.

To put it more simply, if you want to recruit high-end talents, the organization must be worthy of them. Otherwise, why should others surrender their status to join a little-known pheasant organization?

Meri has already considered the matter of reshaping the force. He plans to take some time to go to the Kalimdor continent in person and try to convince the former guardian Aegwynn.

Although Meri lived in seclusion for many years and did not care about worldly affairs, at least he still remembered the contact information left by Aegwynn.

After Meri's preliminary spatial positioning, Sharlayan was surprised to find that the thieves of Backlight Blade really found the right place.

Aegwynn was hiding somewhere in the Barrens, not the Dustwallow Marsh that Sharlayan and Barrage had thought at first.

In addition to recalling Aegwynn, Meri also thought of many ways to improve the reputation of the Tirisfal Council~lightnovelpub.net~ If the two famous artifacts from the Arathor Empire period can be included in the name, Meri's plan can be greatly improved accelerate.

"Stromkar?"

Sharlayan is still a little undecided for the time being: "Let's keep this suggestion for now. After the situation in Alterac is over, I will go back and ask Kael'thas for his opinion."

"Earl Deep Shadow! Are you in the tent?"

When Sharlayan and Valeera were discussing the ownership of the Trollbane battle axe, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the tent, and a familiar voice asked anxiously outside the account.

The corner of Sharlayan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he had some guesses about the purpose of the Haas envoy's visit.

'Could it be...'

"I'm here, please come in."

A handsome female officer hurriedly opened the tent and walked in.

"Earl Deep Shadow, General Haas invites you to discuss matters on the city wall."

"Our scouts discovered a change near the camp of the Knights of the Silver Hand!"
