To be precise, it is a study of the six primordial energies: the evil energy representing chaos, the shadow energy representing the void, and the death energy representing the withering of life.
The characteristics of death energy and negative energy are basically the same, and both will cause almost irreversible effects on the soul, making it become increasingly indifferent in character and full of hostility and hatred towards the living.
But the difference is that spiritual power will also be strengthened in the process.
No matter whether it is a lich, death knight, banshee, crypt lord or any other undead creature, when completing the transformation from life to death, they will more or less gain some ability to control low-level undead, and their magical power will also be greatly enhanced.
And this situation means the growth of mental power.
The Lich King's ability to cross continents and control all the Scourge undead on the entire planet is also a manifestation of his terrifying spirit and mental power.
Therefore, while the death energy of the Azeroth universe causes the withering of life, it also makes the souls of the dead more focused on themselves, thereby stimulating huge undiscovered potential and making them spiritually stronger than when they were alive.
This is why so many mages and priests actively seek to rely on the Scourge, just to get a chance to transform into a lich.
Because transforming into a lich not only means immortality, it also means that one can instantly surpass oneself, allowing the magical power to instantly expand several times or even dozens of times.
Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to reach such a level through study and training in a lifetime.
In contrast, evil energy has a strong predatory property and can absorb other energies, including vitality, and transform them into a part of itself.
This is why wherever the Burning Legion has conquered and polluted a place, there will basically be large areas of forgiveness color, and even the magma gushing out from underground volcanoes cannot escape the disaster.
To eliminate these residual evil energies is even a hundred or a thousand times more difficult than to restore life to the land killed by the plague.
As for shadow energy, it is more like the opposite of holy light energy, just like the creation myth of the twin goddesses of light and darkness on the crystal wall of the planet Toril, the two can hardly coexist.
But considering the existence of special creatures like the Naaru, perhaps there is some unknown connection between holy light and shadow, and they can even transform into each other to achieve an overall balance in the universe.
When a person connects to and uses Shadow energy, they almost completely cut off their connection with Light energy, and vice versa.
In this regard, there is still room for negotiation regarding the energy of death, which seems to be equally opposed to the holy light.
Although undead creatures will be seriously injured or even completely purified by the holy light energy, as long as they firmly believe that what they do represents justice, they can still summon the holy light energy to use for their own benefit.
This is also the reason why Zuo Si was able to master the holy light energy in a very short time.
Although the purpose of saving the people ravaged by the undead scourge is not simple, in his value perception, it undoubtedly symbolizes justice and kindness, so it is easy to trigger resonance between himself and the Holy Light, and it is a very, very strong resonance.
In addition, due to the idealistic nature of the Holy Light energy, this can even be achieved through self-hypnosis and brainwashing.
The extreme and crazy priests and paladins in the Scarlet Crusade are the best examples.
So in terms of threshold, among the six major energies in the Azeroth universe, Holy Light is the easiest to obtain and the easiest to use, without a doubt.
The most important thing is that it requires almost no cost to the user and has no known side effects.
The only thing that may be criticized is that it always fails at critical moments.
Once doubts arise about the legitimacy of one's actions and thoughts, one's resonance with the Holy Light will quickly weaken, to the point where one may no longer be able to use it.
Arthas's reaction after he made up his mind to pick up Frostmourne is the best example.
"The relationship and characteristics between the six major energies in this universe are really interesting. Perhaps after a deeper understanding of arcane and life energy, it will give me more inspiration..."
Zuo Si, who had not slept for the whole night, was in high spirits. Although his body had inevitably begun to feel tired, his eyes were sparkling with excitement.
At this moment, the energy ball in the palm of his right hand continued to transform from golden holy light to green evil energy, the green evil energy quickly turned into gray death, and then from gray death into black shadow.
This kind of energy conversion between adjacent elements is actually not difficult at all.
Especially when transforming from holy light to the opposite direction of the void, even if there is a problem in between, it is not a big deal.
This is also the reason why both the Undead Scourge and the Burning Legion have a large number of members who use shadow magic.
Likewise, on the other side, holy light can be easily transformed into life, which manifests itself in the fact that both can heal injuries.
Life is inextricably linked to the Arcane, and the Arcane can be corrupted by the Shadow.
It is not difficult to see from this process that holy light is actually a creative type of energy, while shadow is devouring and absorbing, and the other four energies are different stages of this evolutionary process.
If creatures like the Naaru represent two sides of the same coin, light and darkness, proving that shadow and holy light can be transformed into each other, then the six primordial energies can be seen as a whole and a cycle, rather than the fierce conflict and opposition that many people imagine.
When the overall balance is broken, the weaker energy will transform and replenish itself from the adjacent energy, and eventually continuously absorb and transform each other to maintain a constantly fluctuating but very stable state.
However, the above are all rough inferences made by Zuo Si based on the knowledge and information he currently possesses, combined with the theory of cosmic camp balance where the planet Toril is located, and are not necessarily 100% accurate.
Just as he was about to finish his last experiment and lie down to sleep, Prince Alas, who had just finished breakfast after a night's rest, walked in from outside the tent and said in a slightly heavy tone: "In five minutes I will leave for Stratholme to continue my unfinished duties. Do I need to leave some soldiers for you to help defend it?"
“No, that’s not necessary.
I have more than three thousand militiamen who have just experienced the baptism of war, more than a hundred priests and more than four thousand almost recovered residents of Stratholme, enough to resist the possible undead army.
What's more, in yesterday's battle I killed the lich who was the commander, and also destroyed a large number of undead creatures.
If nothing unexpected happens, the other party should not dare to easily attack the camp again.
On the contrary, you have very few troops to begin with. If you send more troops to garrison the camp, you will probably be unable to move forward after entering Stratholme.
After all, after a night of chaos, I believe the number of civilians turning into undead will skyrocket, so you'd better be careful.
Oh, by the way, here's some freshly made holy water.
It can not only heal injuries and prevent plague infection, but also cause damage to undead creatures by splashing.
You can have the soldiers take some with them in case of emergency."
As he spoke, Zuo Si pointed to a jar not far away that contained clear water that was emitting divine energy.
He had made these last night when he was testing the properties of holy light energy, so he could just do them a favor.
"You stayed up all night doing this?"
Arthas was obviously moved.
After all, anyone who is not blind can see the heavy dark circles under Zuo Si's eyes.
Although his descended consciousness does not need rest, the container he occupies is still a mortal body. If he does not sleep for several days in a row, he will most likely die suddenly.
What's more, the prince had just experienced the darkest moment of his life. Whether it was the departure of Jaina, the betrayal of his mentor Uther, or the need to massacre the residents of Stratholme, he felt pain and despair.
Now, suddenly there is a group of people who not only choose to stay with me, but also go out of their way to help me, so it is natural that some strong emotions will inevitably arise.
Especially a young crown prince like Arthas who is eager to achieve success and be recognized by the people of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
But unfortunately, he obviously misunderstood something.
Zuo Si never appeared here to help anyone, but had his own plans and purposes.
The so-called kindness, mercy and compassion are merely means to gain faith and strengthen the connection with this world.
Looking at the prince's humane eyes, Zuo Si suddenly felt a little amused and responded casually: "Yes. In order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers and to save more innocent people in Stratholme, please use this holy water well. I hope that by the end of this operation, at least 10,000 people can be saved."
"Don't worry! I swear on my life that I will never let Mal'Ganis win this victory. No matter what the cost."
After saying this, Arthas immediately ordered the soldiers to fill the holy water into water bags and carry them with them.
This way they can always apply holy water on their weapons, shields and armor to gain more advantages in the battle with undead creatures.
Compared to the terrifying number of undead, the number of human soldiers is too small.
Even if only one or two hundred people died every day, it would be quite unbearable.
After a brief repair, the prince quickly led his small army into the city of Stratholme, intending to continue along the streets that had been cleared yesterday, searching house by house.
Destroy undead creatures immediately upon discovery.
If there are sick civilians who have not died yet, their health condition will be assessed, and those whose condition is not serious will be allowed to leave the city and go to the military camp for treatment.
Those seriously ill patients who cannot even stand up and walk are given a "merciful" death, and their bodies are dragged to the streets and collectively burned, no matter how much their families plead.
To be precise, almost every soldier who followed Arthas to participate in the massacre had already prepared himself mentally for the rest of his life to be hostile, despised, and insulted.
In their eyes, this was a sacrifice that had to be made for the greater good, the only way to save the entire kingdom of Lordaeron and free it from the terrible plague.
Just when the whole street was filled with sounds of wailing, screaming, crying, and begging, the Dreadlord Mal'Ganis suddenly descended from the sky, grinning wildly and issuing a provocation.
“Hahahaha! My dear Prince Arthas Menethil, I hope you can perform better today after a night’s rest.
After all, I converted a total of 5,000 people in yesterday's competition, while you only killed less than 1,500 people.
If you continue like this, you will lose."
"Demon! Don't be so proud! Although I only killed fifteen hundred people, I saved four thousand lives. They survived the plague." Arthas retorted loudly without showing any weakness.
"save?"
Mal'Ganis showed a mocking expression and said sarcastically: "It is just a temporary survival.
You can't stop the spread of the plague.
As long as they continue to live on this land, it is only a matter of time before they join the Scourge.
If I were you, I would not waste precious time on rescue, but instead kill all the residents of Stratholme in the fastest and most efficient way.
Only in this way can they be prevented from becoming part of the undead army.
Okay, enough small talk, let’s get on with today’s competition.
In order to put a little more pressure on you, I will give it my all today."
As the last word came out of his mouth, the Dreadlord waved his hands violently and released shadow energy to directly destroy a large area of houses behind him, and many infected people hiding in the houses and basements were instantly exposed.
The next second...
He directly used necromancy to forcibly turn living people into zombies and ghouls.
In a flash, these undead creatures swarmed towards the civilians who were fleeing out of the city. Whenever they caught up with one, they would quickly knock him down, kill him, and dismember him. The scene was extremely bloody and cruel.
"No!!!!!!"
Arthas was instantly enraged. He raised his warhammer and released holy light to purify a large number of undead, and quickly organized soldiers to establish a defense line.
After just one encounter, the battle between the two sides entered a completely intense stage.
Seeing that he had successfully angered the prince and made him lose his mind, Mal'Ganis immediately burst into shrill laughter.
After clearing out this wave of undead creatures, Arthas rushed to the next street like a madman, kicking or smashing open doors like a robber, and hammering to death those civilians he thought were hopeless.
With each kill he counted in a very low voice.
"Two thousand one hundred and fifty-one, two thousand one hundred and fifty-two, two thousand one hundred and fifty-three..."
At the beginning, every time a number was added, the prince's heart would be cut by the knife called pain and become bloody.
But as we all know, people have their limits when it comes to enduring pain.
Once a certain critical point is crossed, the brain gradually adapts and becomes increasingly numb in order to protect itself.
When most of the people in the city died in this massacre, Arthas's kindness and compassion completely disappeared, and were replaced by another stronger emotion - hatred.
He had no idea that he had unknowingly abandoned his original purpose, which was to save the kingdom of Lordaeron and protect unarmed civilians, and began to use any means necessary to kill Mal'Ganis.
In the end, in order to win this so-called "killing competition", they no longer let any infected people go, but killed them all without leaving a single one alive.
Even the loyal Falric couldn't stand this kind of behavior. He tried to persuade them several times and told them that this was actually a trap set by the Dreadlord.
But unfortunately, the prince at this time could no longer listen to any words and completely turned into a monster dominated by hatred.
As a witness who personally learned how Arthas, a good crown prince full of justice and responsibility, degenerated into his current state in just a few days, Zuo Si's first believer and priest, Lanny, felt that the whole world had collapsed.
After watching the former lead the few remaining troops to board the ship to Northrend, he finally couldn't help but ask his god in despair: "Why? Why did it turn out like this? The prince is obviously a good man. When resisting the attacks of the undead army in Hearthglen, he always led the way and was even injured more than once to protect others."
Zuo Si answered very straightforwardly: "Because there are very few things in this world that are truly eternal.
Mortals in particular are most susceptible to sudden changes caused by external factors and environment.
The tragedy of Prince Alsace stems from his hugely flawed character, which is inextricably linked to his upbringing, environment and the people he met.
Remember the humanity he still has now. Maybe the next time we meet, we may be enemies.
By the way, how is the progress of the people I asked you to send to collect the ownerless properties in Stratholme?"
"I have asked the church to organize believers to search the city for anything that can be used.
At present, he has accumulated quite a large number of gold, silver and copper coins, as well as some valuable goods and collectibles.
If we can find a way to sell it, we should be able to buy a lot of merchant ships.
As for food, after the wheat and oats in the fields are harvested, plus the purified food in barns across the country, it should be enough to feed more than 100,000 people for a year.
But are you sure we really want to leave the Kingdom of Lordaeron and settle in the tropical Stranglethorn Vale far to the south?"
There was obvious hesitation in Lanny's tone.
Because he knew that not everyone was willing to leave their homes and venture into a tropical rainforest filled with wild beasts and trolls.
After all, the end of the Stratholme incident led many civilians to mistakenly believe that the Scourge and the plague had been eliminated.
They once again found peace and tranquility and could continue with their previous lives.
Little did they know that the Scourge did not disappear, but was hiding under the order of the Lich King.
When Prince Arthas returns as the Death Knight, an extremely brutal massacre will take place again.
And this time there will be no mercy or compassion. Ninety-nine percent of the creatures from East Wilder to Silverpine Forest will be slaughtered.
“I’m absolutely sure.
Because the only result of staying is death, you'd better not have any fluke mentality.
As for those who don't want to leave, just respect their choice and let them stay. There is no need to force them.
I only help those who believe in me and are willing to be saved by me, and the rest are left to fend for themselves.
As for the cashing out of wealth, we can ask Jaina for help.
I believe that Kul Tiras, with its extremely developed shipbuilding industry, would not mind selling some merchant ships to us.
In addition, as long as they can afford the money, the goblins should be able to provide similar services.
Plus, there are definitely enough ships docked in Stratholme Harbor."
Zuo Si had obviously made adequate preparations for this migration and took advantage of the chaos and power vacuum in the region after the war.
Otherwise, when King Terenas reacts and sends officials and nobles to restore his rule, such a large-scale population migration will inevitably be ruthlessly blocked and suppressed, and he may even be charged with treason.
"Understood. I will do my best to persuade all believers to follow the main group and leave by boat."
Lanny placed one hand on his chest and bowed deeply.
He never had even the slightest doubt about the great god in front of him who had saved himself and tens of thousands of innocent civilians, but instead gave him complete and unreserved trust.
On the main roads, one could see groups of villagers bringing their families in horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, and ox carts heading to Stratholme at the call of the church. The population gathered in the suburbs outside the city quickly reached a huge population of 100,000.
Although this number of people is only a fraction of the populous Kingdom of Lordaeron, it looks extremely spectacular from a distance.
In order to avoid the troubles caused by management and a series of chain reactions caused by the large-scale gathering of population, Zuo Si quickly ordered the church to organize personnel to clear the port first, intending to board a ship there and go out to sea.
大概两天之后，第一批难民便乘船出海踏上了建设新家园的旅途，总数量差不多在一万人左右。
至于目的地，当然是部落后来在荆棘谷建立的格罗姆高营地南边的三岔河口。
这里不仅地势平坦适合耕种，而且可以充分利用水上运输的便利控制整个荆棘谷北方大片的区域，同时还能与暴风王国进行贸易。
属于除了藏宝海湾之外荆棘谷最具有战略价值的地方。
可能唯一的缺点就是离祖尔格拉布有点近，需要时刻提防古拉巴什巨魔发动的突袭。
不过左思传送到藏宝海湾花费重金收买了大财主里维加兹，后者承诺会提供足够的火枪手和投弹手来保护城寨建设完毕之前这段时间难民的安全。
必要的时候他本人也可以传送过去进行救援，所以问题应该不大。
另外，黑水海盗们也会沿海岸线巡逻，防止臭名昭著的血帆海盗趁火打劫，同时提供远程火炮支援。
随着大规模的迁徙开始有条不紊的进行，左思也终于变得清闲了不少，可以把主要精力投入到如何让自己这幅脆弱的身体变强上。
这显然并不是一件容易的事情。
因为任何人体改造都意味着巨大的风险。
更何况他现在手里能派得上用场的只有一份恐惧魔王的血液，危险性简直高到爆表。
如果有的挑，左思更希望能获得守护巨龙的血液，不管是代表生命的红龙还是代表魔法的蓝龙都是相当不错的选择。
但是非常遗憾，他根本没得选，只能硬着头皮把这些血液中所蕴含足以改变体质的部分剥离提取出来，配合九环的【奇迹术】注入血管之中。
由于奇迹术的本质就是牧师向信仰的神明或类神力祈求干涉，所以该行为基本属于一缕降临的意识向本体请求支援。
大概二十到三十秒钟之后血液流遍全身，无法用能够语言形容的精神冲击涌向大脑。
那感觉就像是有一万根针在反复穿刺，以至于眼睛、耳朵、嘴巴和鼻子都流出了暗红色的血液。
不过值得庆幸的是这种非常危险且几不稳定的物质最终没有造成什么严重的负面效果。
反而大幅度提升了对于暗影、死亡两种能量的亲和力。
并且可以像术士一样把普通的元素火焰转化成为邪能火焰。
除此之外，身体所能存储的魔力也翻了好几倍之多，终于不用再为如何在战斗中分配那点可怜的法力值而发愁了。
唯一的问题就是皮肤开始呈现出一种不健康的惨白色，就好像恐惧魔王一样。
而且总是会产生莫名其妙的饥渴，想要吸食周围那些脆弱凡人的精神力。
不过这种饥渴尚在控制范围内，并不会出现失控或丧失理智的情况。
“呼——真不愧是精神领域的吸血鬼。
惧魔王的能力简直就像把噩梦投影到现实世界。
不知道艾瑞达、深渊领主、末日守卫、希瓦尔拉、魅魔这些恶魔种族又有怎样的天赋和能力。
能被燃烧军团选中，多少应该有两把刷子才对。
伊利丹制造恶魔猎手的技术，还有黑龙王子奈法利安正在研究的暮光龙也相当值得借鉴。
极北之地的诺森德还有留下来的泰坦造物引擎。
这个世界还真是有不少有趣的东西呢。”
左思感受着这具临时身体的变化，用只有自己才能听见的声音喃喃自语道。
虽然他看起来依旧给人一种瘦弱没什么力气的感觉，但实际上在体质、敏捷和力量方面都已经足以媲美高等级的战士。
也就是说，现在即便被某些法术击中也不用担心肉体会瞬间崩溃，起码抗两下是没问题的。
正当左思打算试试暗影和死亡法术威力的时候，紧闭的大门突然被敲响了。
砰！砰！砰！ 紧跟着一名守在外面卫兵的声音透过门缝传了进来。
“大人，吉安娜女士和光明使者乌瑟尔来了，他们想要立刻见您。”
听到这句话，左思立刻把桌子上那些实验设备和比较敏感的东西清理干净，然后才从里边打开了反锁的大门，结果一眼便看到了满脸疲惫的两人。
很显然，为了阻止阿尔萨斯疯狂的行为、拯救斯坦索姆的居民，不管是吉安娜还是乌瑟尔都在拼尽全力的想办法。
只可惜，他们并未找到任何解决方案，因此只能尽快赶回来查看情况。
结果却看到了几乎被完全烧毁的城区，大量被焚烧到焦黑的尸体，还有城外聚集的海量难民和生活物资。
不管是哪一个都远远超出了两人的想象，根本搞不清楚究竟发生了什么。
“阿尔萨斯呢？他去哪了？”
吉安娜一见到左思就立刻焦急的开口询问男友下落。
“王子殿下在解决了斯坦索姆之后，启程前往诺森德追杀恐惧魔王玛尔加尼斯了。他带走了剩余所有的士兵和几艘船。”
左思没有隐瞒什么，大大方方给出了阿尔萨斯前往的目的地。
“解决？你的意思是……”
乌瑟尔脸色勃然大变，转身把目光投向远处那些正在挖坑掩埋烧焦尸体的民众。
他明显已经意识到，自己最担心的事情终究还是发生了。
左思微微点了下头用略带沉重的语气解释道：“是的，就是你们认为的那个样子。
我们的王子下令对斯坦索姆展开了屠杀，甚至还跟玛尔加尼斯展开了一场竞赛。
最终这座城市超过三分之二以上的居民都死了，只有不到三分之一侥幸逃过一劫。
整个东威尔德的平民都被这场惨剧吓坏了，正在争先恐后的逃离家园去更加安全的南方建立新定居点。
毕竟与瘟疫和亡灵天灾相比，连荆棘谷吃人的丛林巨魔也会显得格外温和好客不是吗？”
“该死！王子简直疯了！他怎么能犯下如此暴行！他可是洛丹伦的王储！未来的国王！”
乌瑟尔气得浑身发抖，语气中更是充满了痛心。
“真的是阿尔萨斯干的吗？这……这怎么可能！我不相信！”
吉安娜望着远处那些正在哭泣的女人和孩子，内心之中顿时涌出无比的自责，并且开始后悔当初为什么没有用魔法控制住王子，而是独自返回了达拉然，还听了一场肯瑞托议会上毫无意义、压根没有得出结论的争吵。
“不然呢？
王子还能怎么做？ 如果他不进行这场屠杀，现在整个斯坦索姆就是一座死城了，连一个活着的幸存者都不会有。
现在至少有一万多人活了下来。
即便是那些有亲人死在王子手上、对其无比痛恨的民众，也不得不承认是他拯救了自己的生命。
当善良和道德无法解决困境的时候，冷酷残忍未尝不是一种迫不得已之下的选择。
不管任何时候，保障自身生存永远是最优先的。
只有活下来的种族和文明才有资格去谈善良、道德。
而那些消亡的，只会成为历史书籍上的一段文字。
有些甚至连记录都不会有。”
左思难得替阿尔萨斯说了句公道话。
他能理解乌瑟尔这种守序善良圣骑士对于底线的坚持，也能理解吉安娜想要借助达拉然的魔法力量来快速破解瘟疫制造解药。
可问题是坚守道德底线并不能拯救斯坦索姆的民众，解药也绝不是短时间就能研究出来的。
到头来只有王子一个人站出来主动背负起了沉重的责任，选择独自去承受这份痛苦。
所以谁都可以骂阿尔萨斯，但唯独眼前这两个在关键时刻逃避责任的家伙没有这样的资格。
毫无疑问，左思的这番发言直接把天给聊死了。
原本还愤怒不已的乌瑟尔迅速变得悲伤、没落、自责，双手紧紧地攥成了拳头。
他并不是那种沽名钓誉的伪君子，所以不会替自己当初离开做辩解。
无论是没能教导好阿尔萨斯，还是没能拯救斯坦索姆的居民，严格意义上都是这位光明使者的失职。
相比之下，承受了巨大压力的年轻吉安娜更是忍不住开始流泪、啜泣。
过了良久，乌瑟尔才最先打破沉默，注视着山坡下边那些正在整体物资往船上搬运的难民问：“所以你们打算带领这些洛丹伦王国的致命前往南方荆棘谷建立新的家园？”
“是啊。
随着瘟疫、亡灵和兽人在洛丹伦王国肆虐，北方已经变得不再安全。
相比之下，南方反而要平静许多。
自从黑暗之门关闭之后，除了诅咒之地还比较危险，其余地区、尤其是暴风王国早就进入了重建阶段。
如果在荆棘谷安家的话，刚好可以跟他们做邻居相互照应。
你该不会是想要阻止迁徙吧？
我奉劝你最好不要那样做。
Because if you do this, you will become a sinner in history, responsible for countless tragedies and deaths that follow."
Zuo Si issued a meaningful warning.
"What do you mean? Do you and your gods think that the Scourge of the Undead will come back again?"
Uther was obviously very alert and grasped the key point immediately.
"It's not what we think, but the Scourge of Undead has never disappeared."
Zuo Si corrected very seriously.
"They are just hiding temporarily and waiting for the best opportunity.
On this point, I suggest you take a look at the Stratholme cemetery and you will see what I mean.
The hundreds of thousands of corpses buried there are now nowhere to be found.
Guess where all the bodies went? Many of the large graves in the East Wilder area have been dug up.
So the power of the undead is much greater than you think.
When they really start to attack, the pitiful defense force on this land will not be able to hold on, and a brutal massacre will soon take place.
I am now taking refugees away and in fact saving them.”
There is no doubt that these words instantly made Uther feel an unprecedented sense of crisis. Without saying a word, he quickly led his men towards the cemetery.
He needed to confirm the situation with his own eyes before deciding how to report it to King Terenas.
If Zuo Si's description was not exaggerated at all, then Arthas's massacre in Stratholme was no longer important. What was important was how the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the entire Alliance would survive this terrible disaster.
After Uther was completely gone, Zuo Si handed Jaina a handkerchief and comforted her casually, "Don't be too sad.
Now that it has happened, blaming yourself will not help at all except making yourself feel miserable.
If you really want to do something, why not do something to help these refugees.
At least for those who have just experienced a nightmare, there is a place where they can heal their pain and restart their lives. "
“Thank you. But I don’t know how I can help.”
Jaina quickly took it and wiped her tear-stained face.
"I hope the Kul Tiras fleet can help transport and protect these refugees, and exchange their property for some ships and necessary supplies."
Taking advantage of the other party's sadness and self-blame, Zuo Si took advantage of the opportunity and quickly made a request.
Jaina wiped her tears, smoothed her long golden hair, and thought for a moment before quickly answering, "I will contact my father as soon as possible, but I can't guarantee whether he will be willing to help."
"It doesn't matter. As long as Marshal Dai Lin is willing to come and see me, I will naturally find a way to convince him."
Zuo Si's tone was full of confidence.
Because no one knows better than him what the Kul Tiran naval commander desires.
He doesn't care about the life and death of Thrall and the orcs.
“Well, I hope you’ll still have the same confidence when you meet my stubborn father.
But in exchange, you have to come back to Dalaran with me.
My mentor, Anthony Das, the leader of the Magic Kingdom, wants to see you and talk about the God of Contract.
Don't worry, it's just for understanding and recording, there's no other meaning."
Jaina also revealed another purpose for this action.
After all, with the appearance of a new god, especially in the human kingdom, Dalaran naturally has to respond accordingly.
Just like when the Scourge broke out this time, Dalaran also sent envoys to form a joint investigation team.
"Okay. Give me some time to make arrangements. We can set off the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Zuo Si gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
He originally had the idea of going to Dalaran to acquire knowledge of the arcane magic in this world, so naturally there was no reason to refuse.
What's more, with Arthas returning to Lordaeron from Northrend, the current magical kingdom will soon face an unprecedented disaster and destruction, and it is unknown how much knowledge will be lost in this catastrophe.
With the two of them having reached an agreement, Jaina went to visit the survivors of the Stratholme massacre and listen to their stories of what the prince had done and the changes from the beginning to the end.
The more I listened to the end, the more I felt that Arthas's heart was filled with hatred, and he was no longer the kind, just and responsible boyfriend I knew.
Similarly, after seeing the empty cemetery in Stratholme, Uther did not stop for even a second, but rode his horse straight to the capital of Lordaeron.
He simply couldn't imagine what a horrific sight it would be if so many corpses were pulled up.
No town could withstand the overwhelming undead horde.
No matter how many casualties occur, these enemies hiding in East Wilder must be found, otherwise the tragedy of Stratholme could happen again at any time.
(End of this chapter)
