The temperature on the continent of Northrend is still as cold as before, and no matter how the climate changes outside, it is like a cold hell that changes when it was first born.

The further north you go, the more cold you feel in the air, especially after entering the Icecap Glacier, a super glacier that existed in ancient times, the cruel climate is really not suitable for mortal survival, only the strongest life is qualified to live on this ice field, and here, all the "food" you can find will also treat you as food.

Demons are all afraid of heat and cold, except for some naturally eccentric guys, no demon will take the initiative to step into this desert forbidden area of life, even the Dread Demon Kings who were sent to guard the Lich King, these high-level demons, have also suffered in this strange climate.

Queen Salorath was visiting Icecrown for the first time, and like all the guests before her, she was disgusted at the first breath of air, but the deceitr had told her to take refuge here, and she couldn't disobey the deceitmer's orders, especially since the ultimate desire to survive prevailed over physical disgust, given the threat posed by Casanatier and his evil henchmen.

The Lady of Shadows wore a heavy cloak and walked alone on the path of Icecrown, around her body, the cold wind and cold mist that could freeze any life in an instant lingered, but she could not get close to Salorath, she was a high-level demon after all, even if she was seriously injured, she would still not be defeated by this cold.

And just as the demon actually entered the outer ring of the glacier, she stood on a snow-covered hillside, and through the gloomy air, she saw that in the vast snowfield, the black iron wall that surrounded almost the entire glacier was like a black serpent coiled on the ice field, and the steel wall was covered with pale ice edges, making it look not like it was poured at all, but more like it was "growing" on the glacier.

It seems to have become completely integrated with the glacier.

And in front of the black city wall was a towering dark spire, full of sharpness, evil and cold, like a war spear piercing the sky, and like a city reflecting the real hell.

It was the Icecrown Fortress, the Lich King's abode, the long-dormant stronghold of the Scourge Legion, an unknown dark settlement, the largest vanguard of the Burning Legion hidden in Azeroth.

It was a legion created by the Lich King, chosen by Kilgardan, and it was directly under the control of the fraudsters, and it did not intersect with any power, and for the past ten years or so, it had been like a giant beast hibernating in the cold of winter, never awakening, never acting, as if it had withered.

And the irony is that this force, which has been almost forgotten by everyone, has become the only lifeline in the hands of Queen Salorath at this time, and who would have thought that the high-level demon lord of the Burning Legion would be forced to a real dead end in this world with a low level of civilization?

It's almost like an irony from fate...

"Whoa, whoa"

A massive, almost entirely death-cast, dark blue frostbone dragon flapped its wings and flew from the never-ending cold storm like a silent beast flying in the air, and finally landed silently in front of Queen Salorath, the cold wind blowing her black hood, revealing her purple eyes, and the power of the shadow swirled in those beautiful eyes.

Before her eyes, a female death knight jumped off the dragon, and she walked quickly to Queen Salorath, bowed to her, and said dryly:

"The host has been informed of the arrival of your guests, please come with me, guest! The host is waiting for you. ”

The Lady of Shadows didn't answer immediately, she was looking at the Death Knight in front of her, a human woman, her skin was pale and emaciated, her hair was dry, her body was slightly twisted and crumbling, and there were terrible scars on her cheeks, and the bright red wounds were all dry and cracked.

She looked ugly, dark, and had an anachronistic madness and woodenness, and in those dark blue eyes, there was no trace of the existence of flexible thinking, in fact, this body had long since lost its will, and in this pale shell, it was a creeping and broken dazed soul.

This is the undead!

The real undead, the disgusting and pitiful undead...

The ones of the Darkblade Legion aren't undead at all, they're a bunch of crazy monsters born of death... Wait, Darkblade Legion?

Queen Saloras's eyes became a little stranger, and she couldn't help but reach out and rub her forehead:

"But I've never seen the Grimblade Undead! Oh, by the way, I've heard the losers say, ah, I'm dizzy, probably too tired. ”

She shook her head, as if there was a black singularity in her thoughts, invisibly pushing her away from the "dangerous topic", and she didn't pay much attention to it, the Shadow Girl stepped forward and sat behind the Frost Dragon, and after a short flight, she crossed the increasingly majestic and heavy snowflakes in the sky, and was sent directly into the highest part of the Icecrown Fortress, directly above the glacial platform in front of the Ice Throne.

Salorath jumped from behind the bone dragon, she stood firmly on the platform, and in front of her, at the end of the staircase covered in snow and ice, the ice that emitted endless cold was placed on the throne of ice, and there was a large and obedient formless soul, extending from it, observing the high-level demon in front of her with its own unique "perspective".

Queen Salorath could feel the "gaze" as if she were being watched by a tired old man.

"I've received orders from the fraudsters."

The Lich King's signature light and tired voice rang in the ears of the Shadow Maiden, like a deferential and old servant, and he whispered:

"Rest assured to live here, Lady Salorath, the meaning of your existence is important to the fate of the fraudsters, so you can tell me anything you need, life on this ice field may not be comfortable, but trust me... It's enough to keep you safe. ”

"Hmm."

Salorath didn't like the cold soul in front of her, and she didn't want to say too much, but before she could turn to leave, the Lich King's deep voice rang out again, and this time, with a faint hint of inquiry.

"Wait, guest, I have a... A small doubt. ”

The call caused the Shadow Maiden to turn her head, and she looked at the Lich King's ice, the soul sealed in it dancing with an eerie glow in the refraction of the ice, looking like a faint star.

"How did I not know that the undead still have such a strong curiosity?"

The Lady of Shadows said casually, she looked at the ice cube of Neozu, and said:

"Say, for the sake of your service to the fraudsters for so long, I'll try to satisfy your curiosity."

"Well, it's not too important."

The Lich King's low laugh rang out on the platform, so clear and empty that it looked somewhat strange and oosing.

"I just want to ask you, after all, you are the most trusted cronies of the fraudster, I want to know, I have been waiting in this world for so long, ten years, more than ten years, I already feel too tired, I want to ask, fraudster, when the hell will give me the order to scatter death to every corner of the world, waiting, it is too painful."

The Lich King's question made Queen Salorath pause, and she whispered:

"Do you hate the world so much? Would you like it to die right before your eyes? ”

"No, it's not about hate, ma'am."

The Lich King Neozu said in a calm tone:

"I don't like this world, but I don't hate this world either, its existence has no special meaning for me, and the reason why I want to destroy it is simple, the moment I came here and became the vanguard of the Legion, the fraudster promised me that the moment I die in this world, I will be truly free..."

"Freedom..."

Naozu's voice was like a flutter in the wind, like the low whistling of the north wind:

"The only thing I'm still craving, I'm so tired... I don't want to wait any longer, fraudster... When will he destroy this world, and when will he give me freedom? Can you tell me? Lady. ”

"I don't know."

Queen Salorath replied crisply:

"It's not that I'm perfunctory to you, it's that I really don't know, but... You may be able to keep waiting, maybe that day will not be too long, maybe, maybe you will be able to see the moment when the world will be set on fire by fraudsters. ”

"Will you be able to see him soon?"

Naozu whispered:

"That's... That's great. ”

He seemed relieved, and seemed to have received all the answers.

The large, cold soul became silent, as calm as it had been at the beginning, and seeing that he should have no other problems, Queen Salorath turned around and was about to leave the cold glacial platform, but just before she stepped into the teleportation array that shone with necromantic runes in front of her, the circle was suddenly activated, and a slender elf wearing a black swordsman's robe appeared in front of Queen Salorath in the light of teleportation.

The two looked at each other, the Lady of Shadows was in a trance, the elf with a cold face made the Daughter of Shadows feel very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, and just when Salorath hesitated, the great lord Tyrion standing in front of her waved his hand to her very familiarly, and greeted her friendly:

"We're meeting again so soon... It's really fateful. ”

And before Queen Salorath's brief reflection was over, the archlord's interlaced fingers made a crisp sound, as if a non-existent switch had been turned on, making her lose control of her body and soul again, as if she had entered that strange state of time suspension in an instant.

The High Lord did not pay attention to Queen Saloras, who was standing in place like a puppet, he folded his hands, and in the bone-chilling cold, he walked straight to the Ice Throne, he stood under the staircase covered with frost, the High Lord raised his head, looked at the ice that froze his soul above the stairs, and said:

"I rushed over when I heard from you, so what's going on? Will Kilgardan come to this world? If he's coming, how much time do I have to prepare? ”

Faced with the Great Lord's inquiry, Naozu's soul replied slowly:

"The fraudster didn't tell me this, apparently he didn't trust me that much, he just asked me to mobilize the elite of the Scourge Legion... And shelter that demon chick, but it also proves that your plan is half the battle, well, a little half... The deceitr felt the pressure, but from what the demon chick was saying, I could sense that Kilgardan was probably still hesitating. ”

"That demon, he is a very thoughtful leader, he is not so easy to put his fate in an adventure, even if he finally makes a decision, it may take a while to wait and see, even if the opponent on the surface has the ability to overturn the table."

This answer caused the High Lord to nod, and he glanced back at Queen Salorath, and said:

"So that said, we did put pressure on Kilgardan, but it wasn't enough, not enough for him to make an immediate decision, and he thought he was capable of taking control, alas... Sometimes I really envy these confident people, and I don't know what kind of material their unjustified confidence is made of, so strong. ”

"But it's nothing... It is said that the will is the strongest thing in the world, and it can never be pierced, but I don't believe that there is an indestructible will in this world, and the fraudster may have a lot of confidence in himself, but we all know that he actually relies on nothing more than the favor of Sargeras. ”

The High Lord smiled, he turned and hooked his finger at the marionette-like Queen Salorath behind him, and he whispered:

"We need to put more pressure on him and the system he's maintaining, to make him lose sight of one or the other, to toss and turn, to make him burnt out... He had to die like a fish in a net, so he had to give up thinking and make a desperate bet..."

"Well, I suddenly remembered some people, some people I didn't really like, some people who never wanted to settle down, some people who were chasing war in a frenzy, I used to think that everything they did was just a small fight, but now it seems..."

"They... Maybe it really comes in handy! ”

"Let's give him a little pressure!"
