Later generations have a long history of legends about young kings, and in the exciting stories of the revival of the human empire, descriptions of the mysterious "Emperor's legacy" occupy many, many pages.

Some people say that it is a divine weapon left by the emperor for his successors unearthed in the manor where Emperor Lothar was born in the eastern continent.

Some people also say that it was the huge wealth and armament that the emperor had prepared for the revival of the empire before the tragic battle of the northern frontier buried in a cave in the Thousand Needles Stone Forest like an unpredictable prophet.

There are also the most bizarre rumors that it is the source of power that the mysterious spirit of the world has given to the great emperor, and it is precisely because the young kings have found this source of power that the weak empire has flourished again.

Humans, as short-lived species, are always incorrect about these historical records, and they will make "minor" adjustments to the stories according to their personal preferences, and after a few times, the stories will be changed beyond recognition.

For those who have truly experienced the events of the "Emperor's Legacy", it is just a closed and dimly lit hall, where young people inherit the great will of the older generation under the watchful eye of the faith leaders of the human world... Well, that's legendary enough for the process and the thing itself.

"The Emperor of Lothar left behind... Heritage? ”

In the dim light, Arthas looked at the brass ring in his hand in disbelief, he didn't doubt His Majesty's claim, but it had been several months since the Battle of the Northern Frontier, why did His Majesty hand it over to them at this time?

Is there something hidden in this?

The same question echoed in the hearts of the other kings and princesses, and as if to see their doubts, the old Holy Light Pope coughed a few times, and then said slowly:

"This is what Lothar meant, before he set foot on the final battlefield, he repeatedly told me that this was the mission he should have completed, but fate did not leave him much time, he could only give it to those who came after him, but these things are too important, I must examine you first... Children, I will only give it to you if I am sure that you are sufficient to take on the mission that Lothar left behind. ”

His Crown's clear gaze rested on Arthas, and he said meaningfully:

"My investigation is over, although I am a little reckless, a little immature, and I still need to grow, but... Guarding the will of the empire and the people, helping each other, integrity and courage to defy hardships and dangers, I see in you a somewhat bumpy but bright future... Open it, good children, for you are the heirs needed for Lothar's great will. ”

The deep voice reached the ears of each king, causing the young leaders to look at each other, and finally, at the suggestion of everyone, Gianna placed the brass ring in the palm of her hand, and slowly infused it with magic.

It was an old-fashioned storage ring, a magical product born in the last era, the storage space was not as large as the current popular rings, but it was very safe, and between the faint light blue magic glow, several things appeared in Gianna's hand, and in front of Fao's crown, she placed it on the table beside her.

"This is..."

Arthas picked up the heavy booklet at the top, flipped through the pages, and his face became cautious, he took the book with both hands, and handed it to His Majesty Fao, who put on a pair of reading glasses, looked at it by the light, and then handed it back.

"There is no doubt that this Silver Ash Sacred Book, which records the training methods of the Ash Knights, is the ray of light that Lothar has found for the war between the Empire of Man and the undead, and it should belong to all human beings, so you should use it properly."

"Of course."

Several kings spread the word and looked at the holy book in their hands, they discussed in a whisper, and finally decided to send the most loyal scribes, under the supervision of various countries, to copy several copies of this silver gray holy text, all in the most rigorous way, everyone knows that in the current human empire, there are still undead agents.

"And then here's this!"

Gianna spread out the second drawing and placed it on the table in front of her, which was densely marked with a map of an underground city, with a large X mark in the corner of the edge.

"This is the underground map of the Black Iron District, look! Here are the notes of the Emperor of Lothar. ”

Garin exclaimed, and all eyes were on the map, and the Emperor of Lothar seemed to have written the meaning of the map in a hurry, he didn't say what the X stood for, he just said that it was something very important to the Human Empire.

Apparently, he wanted his successor to take it out.

"The same machine? Or is it a captured man of his own? ”

Liam's eyes narrowed, he looked at the others, but no one could give an explanation, under the light of this secret room, the kings whispered, and always agreed, everyone understood Lothar's painstaking efforts, since the emperor thought that this X was very important, then it meant that it was their responsibility to save the mysterious X from the kingdom of the Dark Blade.

After all, this is the unfinished business of great people.

But this requires a detailed plan... In particular, it is a very risky decision to go deep into the core of the Dark Blade's domination, which will undoubtedly require the use of the hidden agents that the empire has planted in the federal area after all kinds of hardships, but in the current situation, the human empire needs to take risks to find hope, otherwise their future is destined to be bleak in the face of the aggressive undead.

"And finally this one, a sealed scroll."

Gianna carefully probed the last quaint scroll with her magic, she recognized the words on it, it was the language of trolls, and it was also the language of trolls in ancient times, with a few simple words, outlining the effect of a sealing magic, until this scroll was opened, no one could know what kind of secret was sealed in this scroll.

"Do you want to open it?"

Gianna looked at the others, but was stopped by Fao's crown.

"Nope! This scroll was left by Lothar to his true heirs..."

The old Pope took the mysterious scroll, put it in his hand, and between the caresses of the warm light of the holy light, he closed his eyes and whispered:

"Lothar told me that it had been handed over to him by a dangerous martyr and that it was said that he could save his life in the most critical moment, but Lothar had already made up his mind to die... He thinks it's a waste to use it himself. ”

"So, only the second emperor is eligible to use it?"

King Drake, who had not spoken, the young man who had only recently become King of Kul Tiras, with the support of the four families of Kul Tiras, rubbed his chin, his gaze lingered on the scroll in the Pope's hand for a moment, and finally, he looked back at his sister, who shook his head at him:

"No, that's all there is to the ring."

"Well, a gift."

Arthas looked at the silver-gray tome in his hand, then at the map in front of him and at the scroll in the Pope's hand:

"A responsibility, and a guarantee... It's really like the emperor's style of doing things, and it doesn't leak. ”

"And what about this ring?"

Gianna looked at the brass ring in her hand, this magic storage ring was not too expensive, but judging from the degree of wear and tear of the ring, it must be a beloved item often used by the Emperor of Lothar, perhaps an ancestral heirloom of Lothar, after all, its production style has been a popular style hundreds of years ago.

And from this point of view, this innocent ring also has a strong symbolic meaning, and if it is placed at auction or on the black market, there must be many people who will do everything to get it.

"Give it to me."

Arthas reached out and took the ring from Gianna's hand, and he looked at the others and shrugged:

"Don't look at me like that, brothers, I know what you're thinking, but rest assured, this is not my challenge to the throne of the Emperor, I just want to give it back to someone who is truly qualified to inherit it... Varian. Ureon, the one I consider my brother, who was raised by the Emperor of Lothar as his own child, is the one who is most qualified to inherit this relic. ”

The king of Lordaeron shook his finger and accentuated his tone:

"To us, Lord Lothar is the Honored Emperor, but to Brother Varian, Lord Lothar is more like his father..."

"But when the Emperor died in battle, I didn't see him... Maybe he's given up all his responsibilities. ”

The youngest prince, Thanreid. Proudmore grumbled, only to be glared at by his brother and sister, and the angry gaze made Tenred shrink his head, then stepped aside and stopped talking.

"One more thing, Your Majesty."

The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward, Gianna gave Arthas a look, and the latter immediately coughed lightly, took out a quaint silver ring from his bosom, and put it in front of the Pope's eyes, he looked left and right, and lowered his voice:

"Your Majesty, this is the spoils of our hard-fought battle when we met the Lord of the Blades in Northrend... There's one thing in it that I think you should take a look at. ”

"Huh?"

The tired Fao blinked, he instinctively felt that Arthas, who had escaped death, might have caused him a problem...

"What's that?"

Fao asked, and Alsace let out a sigh of relief, saying:

"This ring, which I took off from Tyrion's finger after I cut off his wrist, has intricate ciphertext on it, but with the help of our dragon friends, we opened it, and this ring contains a lot of evil materials, and we have destroyed those blasphemous things, but there is one thing in it, even the well-informed Red Dragon Queen, whose origin is unknown."

As he spoke, Arthas, with Gianna's help, took out a black box from the silver ring, carefully placed it in front of Fao, and explained:

"The fact that this thing is being carried by Tyrion proves that it must be very important to the Lord of the Blades, and I can feel it... This thing has a lot to do with the Shadow Demon Sword in his hand. ”

"Smack"

The box was opened, and a dark and low, deep and strange dark power rushed out of the box, causing the other kings to react immediately in battle, but the next moment, the wide-eyed Pope stretched out his finger and chanted the sacred scriptures, and between the beats of the golden light, the dark power was pressed back into the box.

It was only then that the crowd could see clearly what was in the box.

It was a gemstone-like fragment, like a corner that had been cut from a whole gemstone, and it was evident that the cutter was very skillful, and even the scraps were not destroyed by the internal structure of the gemstone.

And these scattered gems themselves, like the universe that contains the entire stars, in the dark light, there are stars of light beating in it, if you look at the texture of the gem itself, this is undoubtedly the most beautiful treasure that everyone has ever seen, but the desperate dark aura that emanates from it means that the gem itself is not simple.

"I've seen it!"

Fao looked at the fragments of the gems in the box, and he said in a serious and deep voice:

"A few years ago, in Lordaeron, I saw it! It was the trophy of the Mograine Grand Knight in the Burning Plains War, and he had shown it to me, but the gem was more than that, it was a fist-sized gem... How did it end up in Tyrian's hands? And it was cut into pieces like this... Wait, Arthas, you just said that these gems have something to do with the magic sword in the hands of the King of the Darkblades? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Arthas nodded cautiously:

"I have come into close contact with the sharp magic sword that can call out the dark sword shadow to attack the opponent, and I can feel that the aura coming from the blade is exactly the same as the fragments of these gems, and that sword should be forged from the main body of this gem."

"The Holy Light is above."

Hearing this, Fa Ou immediately closed his eyes in pain and drew religious symbols on his chest:

"If I had looked closely at the Dark Gem sent by the Grand Knight of Mograine, perhaps I would have been able to see its threat, and if we had destroyed it earlier, perhaps the Lord of the Darkblades would not have obtained the dark weapon, and Lothar would not have been... It's all my fault, O Light, forgive me. ”

Wait, Your Majesty, do you feel that this gem resembles the "angry heart" that the Prophet used to help us? ”

As a naval commander who had personally experienced the Battle of the Northern Frontier, Drake stared at the Dark Gem in the box, and after a moment, he said to Fao, who blamed himself:

"Although the power emanating from it is very different, I can feel that maybe they come from the same source... I also had to ask the Prophet about the Heart of Wrath, and the Prophet told me that it was an ancestral treasure of the Draenei, and that there were seven of them... This black gem, could it be..."

Fao closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and when he opened them, the old man's eyes were full of determination:

"Then please come here! Now, right now! ”
