Freedom! Freedom!!

Nathanos should have shouted loudly, or jumped into the river to vent his inner joy with splashes of water. A few days ago, he was a slave of the Lich King, spreading death in his name, but now, he is...

become free.

Indeed, he should be ecstatic about this. But where is the joy under the curse? When Nathanos came near the Sodoril River, through the reflection on the water, he saw clearly that he was still trapped in the Undead Drive.

Still a hateful monster.

"I... am still a slave to death." He angrily smashed himself in the water with a punch, and then the restored image reminded him of the fact, forcing Nathanos to look away. He was approaching Maris

He couldn't think of anywhere else to go but here. Quel'Thalas was far away from here, requiring several days' journey. Before setting off to go there, he had to find a place to stay.

When he arrived, someone was already waiting for him.

"Medivh?" The last time he met the Guardian was half a month ago, and they parted here at that time.

"I told you earlier that the time to be free is coming soon."

Medivh looked at Nathanos jokingly, but the other man seemed completely unhappy.

"You look in pain. Doesn't it feel good to be free again?"

"So what if I regain my freedom? What's the difference between me and Alsace in the eyes of others? I'm still a slave who suffered."

At night, the desolate scenery of the farm added to the sadness in Nathanos's words.

"It makes sense. It seems like you really have no reason to be happy."

"I don't need you to remind me, take your things and leave." Nathanos threw the book written by the guardian to its owner, "This is probably why you came here."

Medivh opened the book, flipped through two pages, then closed it, confirming it, and said to Nathanos: "I did come for it, but I won't take it away. I said you need my knowledge.

To understand the whole world, but you can't use it now, and it's too dangerous for you to carry it. I will hide it in a place with the spring water of the Well of Eternity. You can take it away when you need it."

"Speaking of which, I will bring the spring water to Quel'Thalas now."

"I advise you not to do this." Medivh shook his head.

"Why?"

"Do you think the blood elves will accept the magical energy brought by an undead?"

"I will go find Alleria." Nathanos explained. He believed that this would be possible. As long as a female elf testified for him, the blood elves would accept his kindness. Of course, this was not for them.

, but for Alleria.

Medivh chuckled, which made him angry.

"You don't agree?" he asked sharply. At least death did not change his temper.

"No!"

"Then why are you laughing?" he asked with a roar, because his answer seemed to make the guardian laugh uncontrollably.

"After you separated, I have been thinking about this matter, thinking about whether mortal love can build a bridge of communication between life and death."

Nathanos narrowed his eyes, trying to tolerate his ambiguity as much as possible, and he also wanted to know the answer to this question: "What is the result of thinking?"

"There's little hope."

"In other words, there is such a possibility, but it's just slim?"

The two were silent for a while, mainly because Medivh did not continue to speak. He found that the small hope revealed in his mouth was infinitely greater in the eyes of Nathanos. But the mage knew that this kind of hope was blind and wrong in itself.

.Because what they said was not the same thing at all. Nathanos' hope did not come from the living, but from Alleria. He only cared about whether the female elf would accept him.

"Don't put all your hopes in Alleria, Nathanos."

The man in his mouth sneered and replied with a hint of anger: "You still question the bond between me and her? How stupid. Have you forgotten that she went to Kalimdor to find me? Although I don't understand her.

Why did you have to leave quietly again, but I know that when we meet again, all problems will be solved!"

It turns out that all the hidden dangers are here! Medivh suddenly understood that this was more exciting than making a breakthrough in magic experiments, and even he himself had neglected it. Sylvanas' behavior caused all of this by mistake.

.

The mage lowered his head to hide his smile, and then spoke to break the silence. "I'll give you a message, Nathanos. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

Nathanos glared at him hard, tightening his jaw. After a moment, the anger disappeared from his face, replaced by a look of contempt. Stupid mage! There is no need to say anything between Alleria and me.

"I also want to send you a message, Medivh. Our hearts...are connected."

The coast of Lordaeron

Arthas arrived here accompanied by Kel'Thuzad, and dozens of ships were waiting for him.

"Is the severe pain getting worse?" Lich Wen asked.

It was such a shame and humiliation to escape from his own kingdom, and Arthas wanted to rip off the heads of the three Dread Lords. But at the moment, he had more important things than revenge, so he answered Kel'Thuzad's question simply.

"Yes, with the loss of power, I am about to lose control of the undead soldiers. The Lich King warned that if I don't rush back to Northrend as soon as possible, I will lose everything."

"No need to worry, Your Majesty. Everything is ready. You can leave at any time." Lich pointed at the ship docked on the shore. Everything needed to get to Northrend has been prepared and will definitely meet Alsace's needs.

"You have always been my loyal friend, Kel'Thuzad..." Arthas paused, and he wanted to continue to say Nathanos's name. But now, his former friend has left him, which makes the death knight

I have always been worried about it.

Of course Nathanos defected. But at the most critical moment, he did not collude with the three fear lords. Instead, he reached an agreement with Kel'Thuzad and handed the lich next to him a good army.

With the help of these soldiers, he was able to escape from the trap with great difficulty.

It seemed that Nathanos was expressing that he was done with him, but Arthas knew that everything was far from over. He was not sure what Nathanos would do after he was freed from control, but no matter what,

From now on they will be enemies.

"I don't know what the future will be like, or even whether I can come back. But I want to leave this land to you to take care of, so that my kingdom can last forever!" Alsace tightened the reins of Invincible and walked towards the ship.

Go, only Kel'Thuzad's voice echoed behind him.
