Live Streaming: Azeroth

When Sharlayan went to Frostfire Ridge to meet with the high-level officials of Free Will, Kel'Thuzad expressed his intention to discuss private matters.

At that time, Sarlayan and the others still had many important matters to be done, and they temporarily suppressed the private discussion that Kel'Thuzad said.

After that, the ensuing scuffle on Blade's Edge Mountain, the search, transshipment and rescue of the dragon eggs, as well as the continuing search for the whereabouts of the ancient god of Draenor, involved most of Sharlayan's mind, and he couldn't spare time Ask Kel'Thuzad for the exact details.

"It's me, the three of you don't rush to do it."

Kel'Thuzad, wearing a lich robe, floated out of the forest with his hands raised high.

Sharlayan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said meaningfully: "So urgent? It seems that what you want to discuss with me is probably not just the private matter you said?"

Kel'Thuzad didn't shy away from this topic, and honestly admitted it.

"Indeed, due to the importance of the matter, it is inconvenient for Solas and Alonsus to know about this matter."

"huh~"

Sharlayan put his hands on his chest and snorted noncommittally. Jaina immediately used the soundproof magic circle to cover the grove where the four of them were.

"Tell me, what is it?"

Kel'Thuzad: "Related to the Shadowlands."

"oh?"

Sharlayan's face changed slightly, and the expressions of Jaina and Onyxia also became serious.

The Black Dragon Princess frowned and asked: "As far as we know, since the undead army left Azeroth, the Shadow Realm can no longer easily get in touch with you, right?"

Kel'Thuzad nodded: "That's true. Without the special signal amplifier of Icecrown Citadel, even after Frostmourne, which hosts someone's soul, is taken away, in theory, the Shadow Realm can no longer pass through. Contact us in the normal way."

"Theoretically, conventionally."

Sharlayan immediately extracted key words from Kel'Thuzad's words.

"In other words, some people from the Shadow Realm contacted you again through unconventional means... No, it's just you?"

"exactly."

Kel'Thuzad spread his hands in a self-deprecating way: "Perhaps my delicate egoistic nature has long been seen through. A certain boss in the shadow world thinks that as long as he pays more chips than Azeroth, I am unscrupulous." The Lich will turn to him for profit."

"Heh~" Salayan twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile: "Isn't it?"

"Kel'Thuzad, we have known each other for many years. We know what kind of person you are."

"There's no need to go around the bush, just talk about it."

Sharlayan's expression remained calm: "What do you want from Azeroth? Is there anything worth giving up the high-priced bargaining chips proposed by the mice in the Shadow Realm?"

Kel'Thuzad didn't care about Salayan's evaluation. He smiled hoarsely: "The answer is actually very simple."

"Salayan, just like you know my nature very well, I have known your temper for many years."

"If I abandon Azeroth for the higher stakes paid by the Shadow Realm, you will never let me go as a traitor. I don't want to lose and die so early."

"Besides, perhaps on the surface, the bargaining chip paid by that adult in the Shadow Realm is indeed very exciting."

"But from a long-term perspective, I think you...or Azeroth can provide me with more resources than him."

"After all, the younger generation of defenders of Azeroth, including you, is still in a period of rapid rise, and the future of the shadow world bosses can already be seen at a glance."

Sarlayan smiled meaningfully: "Is there a trade-off between short-term benefits and long-term benefits?"

"Forget it, the temptation ends here, let's get to the point."

Sharlayan's expression became serious again: "What does the Shadow Realm want from you? How did they get in touch with you?"

Kel'Thuzad also retracted his joking attitude before, and solemnly answered Salayan's question.

"Let's talk about the contact information first. During the period when I was sent to the Black Temple to support Illidan, a nathrezim under Shahras suddenly found me mysteriously and privately."

"Nathrezim..."

The eyes of the three of Sharlayan flashed at the same time.

"I understand." Jaina's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Illidan has a long-term vision, but because of his long-term vision, he ignores the threats that may come from around him."

Onyxia stroked her chin with great interest and asked, "Does Mistress Shaheras know about this?"

"I don't know." Kel'Thuzad shook his head and explained, "After we separated from that Nathrezim, I tested Shahras in a circumstantial way, and I can basically confirm that she didn't know about it."

Sharlayan nodded: "It's not surprising. Although the Shivalla family is also quite scheming, they are still inferior to Nathrezim who is good at controlling people's hearts."

"This group of ace spies from the Shadow Realm has infiltrated all the organizations with names and surnames in the universe, even the Holy Light Legion, which is theoretically incompatible with all evil forces."

[Indeed, the light-forged Dreadlord named Losakson knew something was wrong at a glance. 】

[Will there be a life-type fear demon king in the future? Arcane Dread Demon King? 】

[Theoretically, it is possible, but the corresponding individual has not been encountered yet. 】

Dreadlords are not natural demons, they are artificial life forms created by Denathius, and the purpose of making them is to collect information from all corners of the universe.

Later facts proved that the Nathrezim, who were proficient in camouflage and infiltration, were good at manipulating people's hearts, and indeed completed the tasks entrusted by their masters very well.

If the barrage hadn't informed the true origin of the Dreadlord in advance, Sharlayan might not have linked them with the Shadow Realm until now.

"You probably didn't startle the snake, did you?"

"Of course not." Kel'Thuzad said without hesitation: "Since the lord behind Nathrezim thinks that he can spend money to win me over, I simply follow their wishes and ask for information in the opposite direction. .”

"Unfortunately, that Nathrezim was very vigilant. Until I was called back to Frostfire Ridge by Solas, I couldn't get any valuable news from him."

"As for their purpose... Actually, I don't need to tell you, you should be able to guess the general idea."

Sharlayan touched his chin thoughtfully: "Is it related to free will?"

"Yes." Kel'Thuzad taunted sarcastically: "It seems that the adult doesn't seem to be living very comfortably in the Shadow Realm, and he desperately hopes to get more powerful foreign aid."

Sharlayan narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled meaningfully: "I understand, that guy took the risk to carry out this win-win plan for the sake of your hearts."

...

Anima is the necessary energy to maintain the normal operation of the Shadowlands.

Anima cannot be produced out of thin air, it can only be transformed through the achievements of souls that enter the shadow world after death, and the more legendary a soul can provide, the more anima it will provide.

It needs to be emphasized here that achievements and popularity are neutral terms, and the amount of heart energy depends only on the achievements of the soul, and has nothing to do with good or evil.

Regardless of whether it is a hero or a villain, as long as the achievements in front of them are great enough, the Shadow Realm will get the corresponding anima equally without discrimination.

Among the former Scourge and today's free will, there are many excellent souls worthy of the attention of the shadow world.

Leaving aside the three leaders Kel'Thuzad, Faol, and Solas, their respective subordinates are in charge of a group of undead with great potential.

Solas held an elite army of death knights in his hands, among whom there were many capable elites like Osmar Garithos.

Kel'Thuzad was responsible for managing the Lich Legion, and the Arcanists and members of the Sect of the Damned who died in the Scourge were all included in his name without exception.

Fao gathered those undead priests who once lost their faith after death.

Under his guidance, the undead priests found the way forward again.

The dim light in their hands can in turn heal the wounds of their fellowmen in battle without harming the undead.

In addition, undead races such as nerubians, ghouls, abominations, and gargoyles also have outstanding talents.

Sharlayan had long suspected that "that lord" had a way of smuggling souls around the Arbitrator... just like Bwonsamdi.

If Kel'Thuzad can be used as a breakthrough, and the entire free will can be drawn in, the psychic resources in the hands of that adult will increase significantly, and it may help him quickly break through the current predicament.

"It's a beautiful idea."

Sarlayan sneered and tried his best to use his brain: "Kel'Thuzad, I have a very old-fashioned plan. I don't know if you are willing to take risks and cooperate."
