A mage is a bit like the scholar mentioned in the barrage, who has a strong thirst for knowledge about everything in the world.

If it further involved their professional field, the fanaticism made even Sharlayan feel amazed.

Cutting-edge scholars like Kel'Thuzad, who are dedicated to ordering, usually don't have any clear concept of good and evil. As long as they are helpful to their pursuit of truth, anything can be brought to the trading table for negotiation.

Kel'Thuzad spent many years on the path of the arcane, and after becoming an archmage with his powerful talent, he gradually realized that this path was not suitable for him, and he could not reach the end of the path of the arcane.

During the Second Orc War, Kel'Thuzad initially came into contact with the relatively advanced concept of death spells through the study of orc death knights.

Until this time, he finally found the path that suits him best.

However, in Azeroth, a world dominated by the living, death spells are kept secret even in Dalaran, which claims to be academically open, and are even demonized to a certain extent, and are listed as prohibited research projects together with fel energy.

However, having said that, the so-called taboo in Dalaran is fart for the archmage who is at the apex of the mage class.

Nearly every archmage Kel'Thuzad knew was secretly studying forbidden spells.

Some are evil energy, some are void, but death spells are rarely used because of the instinctive repulsion of the living.

Even if there were, from Kel'Thuzad's point of view, their accomplishments were pretty lame.

Through his authority as a member of the Kirin Tor, Kel'Thuzad rummaged through the records in the Dalaran library and discovered a secret left three thousand years ago.

The literature records the first lich in human history. He was a hero in the troll war and one of the founders of the Tirisfal Council.

The man's name was Merry Winterwind.

It's a pity that even Dalaran didn't keep the ritual of Merry's transformation into a lich.

The research was deadlocked, and Kel'Thuzad was very upset for a while.

In the original history, it was in this state of anxiety that he could not continue to pursue the truth that Kel'Thuzad was recruited by the Lich King.

Needless to say, Kel'Thuzad went to Northrend without hesitation to join the Lich King.

However, after actually coming into contact with the Lich King, Kel'Thuzad suddenly hesitated.

Because he found that the Lich King didn't have a deep understanding of death spells, and it was essentially the way the orcs made death knights.

In fact, this is quite normal, after all, Ner'zhul's death spell was learned from Gul'dan's head, which is exactly the same as Gul'dan's technique.

It's a pity that Kel'Thuzad, who boarded the thief ship, has no room to turn back, so he can only follow this road until the dark.

Sharlayan, who stepped in, came at the right time. He made Kel'Thuzad agree to his undead spy plan on the condition of the lich transformation ceremony preserved by Quel'Thalas.

Afterwards, he took the bait of the Shadow Realm, the destination of all the dead, and deliberately hung Kel'Thuzad's appetite to ensure that he would not turn his back halfway.

What? Can the Lich King also communicate with the Shadowlands?

Ner'zhul knew nothing about the Shadow Realm. Under the intentional guidance of the Dreadlord, this guy thought that his will was still free, but in fact he had already unconsciously become a **** of the warden Zovar.

Frostmourne, this magical sword that is said to be forged by the fearful demon king himself, is actually produced in the Shadow Realm, forged by the warlord controlled by the warden.

In order to prevent Kel'Thuzad from believing the cakes drawn by Ner'zhul, Sharlayan told him some information about the Shadow Realm in advance, broadening Kel'Thuzad's vision.

After obtaining a lot of information about the Shadow Realm, looking back, you will find that the so-called Lich King is nothing more than a **** in the hands of others.

As for who is the chess master behind the Scourge, Kel'Thuzad doesn't care at all. It doesn't make any difference to him whether it's the warden, the fraudster or Sharlayan. All he cares about is the truth he pursues.

After officially breaking away from Dara, Kel'Thuzad, who had been busy with government affairs, was finally liberated and went on a world tour.

During this trip, Kel'Thuzad gained a lot of knowledge, and also truly experienced Sharlayan's powerful contacts all over Azeroth.

From the night elves who occupy most of Kalimdor, to the tauren who live in Mulgore and regain their vitality, to the tol'vir in Uldum at the southernmost tip of the mainland.

Wherever Kel'Thuzad went, he could hear rumors about Sharlayan's adventure team, which further strengthened his idea of ​​maintaining a long-term cooperation with Sharlayan.

Being able to leave his influence all over the world like a courtesan, from this we can see the hidden energy in Sharlayan's hands.

Kel'Thuzad boldly speculated that if Sharlayan and Quel'Thalas broke up one day, with the power he secretly controlled, he might be able to create a brand new country.

Further speculation, if Sharlayan had that idea, he might even hope to usurp the throne of Quel'Thalas.

Of course, Kel'Thuzad, who was once a member of the Kirin Tor, was very aware of the friendship between Sharlayan and Kael'thas, and also learned about Sharlayan's personality from the side through this trip.

As long as Kael'thas is alive, Sharlayan will never try to usurp the throne, but...

Who can tell what will happen in the future.

Just as the barrage half-jokingly said, the death rate of the kings of Azeroth has always been high, and no one can guarantee whether Kael'thas will be lucky enough to get rid of this curse in the countless crises in the future .

Strolling on the snowy field of Dragonbone Wilderness, Kel'Thuzad's brain, which moved his legs mechanically, kept running.

After he really received the persuasion from the Lich King, he thought about it a lot and thought about it a lot.

Thanks to Sharlayan's early vaccinations, Kel'Thuzad found nothing but disappointment in his interactions with the Lich King.

Ner'zhul's understanding of the nature of the power of death is relatively shallow, and he is completely sorry for his title of Lich King.

The Lich King, as the name suggests, means the Lich King.

After some communication and exploration, Kel'Thuzad looked down upon Ner'zhul, who claimed to be the Lich King.

From the perspective of pure strength, the Lich King's spiritual power is indeed very powerful, far above Kel'Thuzad, but that's all.

For a scholar-type mage like Kel'Thuzad, combat power is by no means the main factor to measure personal value.

Feeling this, Kel'Thuzad firmly planned to infiltrate the Scourge as a spy. He deliberately squirmed his lips when talking with the Lich King, conveying the hint to some people who were hiding in the dark and watching him.

On the surface, Kel'Thuzad was very excited and offered to learn more advanced death spells from the Lich King, satisfying the pathetic vanity of Ner'zhul who had failed all his life.

Kel'Thuzad, who has been transformed into a lich, can't feel the severe cold of the snow field~lightnovelpub.net~ He changed his original plan to go to Grizzly Hills, and turned to the north, intending to go to Icecrown Glacier through Crystalsong Forest.

Kel'Thuzad believed that Sharlayan would appear before he left the range of Crystalsong Forest.

However, in order to avoid attracting unnecessary suspicion from Ner'zhul, Sharlayan would not blatantly interview Kel'Thuzad who was in the investigation period, at most he would say hello secretly.

After exchanging information with Malygos, Salayan did not bring Onyxia, who was still biding farewell to Teligosa, nor Tinagosa, who was flirting with her grandfather.

With the help of Spellweaver Malygos, he teleported directly outside New Sandara in Crystalsong Forest.

If it wasn't for the influence of the city's enchantment, Malygos could even send him to any coordinate in the city precisely.

Today, Sharlayan is already a marquis, and holds a pivotal position in the noble circle of Quel'Thalas.

In order to avoid unnecessary attention when entering the city, Sharlayan did not intend to enter New Sandara to greet the local lord, but silently guarded the only way from Crystalsong Forest to Icecrown Glacier.

After several years of development, the scale of New Sandara City is still expanding, and the people who immigrated from the native land have gradually adapted to life in this new city of Northland.

The day after Sharlayan arrived in Crystalsong Forest, a traveler wearing a gray hood appeared in his sight.

Icecrown Glacier is a place where birds don't shit. The severe cold climate makes the place not suitable for most mortal races to survive, and the high elves are no exception.

Therefore, few people passed by in the direction leading to Icecrown Glacier. Through the rather familiar magic power fluctuations, Sharlayan quickly recognized the true identity of this hidden traveler.

"Is it finally here, Kel'Thuzad."
