…………

The secret of the Dark Cathedral was buried forever, and those who participated in that operation were all discussed afterwards that they should seize the opportunity to destroy the Lich King. I do not regret that if the victory was exchanged for Fordine's sacrifice was not called victory. The Silver Northern Expedition owed a favor to the Forgotten. And as Arthas's heart disappeared, there would be no longer any possible hope to save the fallen prince.

………

"Try his heart?" A cold smile appeared on Nathanos' face: "Do you want me to see how evil he is?"

"Go to the Ice Crown Fortress, there is a forgotten cave underground. Jump down and pay attention to the ice in the water." The boy waved his hand... and disappeared completely.

It is dangerous to go deep into the Ice Crown Glacier, and approaching the Ice Crown Fortress undoubtedly sent himself under the nose of the Lich King. Nathanos asked himself if he would do such a fool in his heart. He just laughed, called the Bone Griffon, and headed in the opposite direction of the Northern Expedition Army camp. The boy just used very particular words, the forgotten cave? Will the Lich King let the Scourge sweep the entire world, and will there really be a place he has forgotten?

...

He crunched slowly to the edge of the cave, looking at the ice cave wrapped in clouds and mist thousands of feet below. There was no sound, and it looked like a trap. The space around was very open, covered with stone pillars of Saron's evil iron, and above it was the stairs in front of the gate of the Ice Crown Fortress. Logically speaking, the Lich King should not leave such a place to build a fortress, but there were neither guards nor places to train recruits.

Or to hide something, Nathanos stared at the bottom, and one foot had already stepped out.

Just falling like this may not cost him his life: his body is just a layer of skin, and his soul cannot be killed by physical means. But what is the need? Why did he appear here? Arthas's humanity became like a child, and he also found him and told him to explore the prince's heart.

Why do this? I should now find a way to thwart the Lich King's plot, rather than taking huge risks to come here to experience a high-altitude fall.

After a brief entanglement, the other foot of the withered man, who was still on the ground, also pushed forward. Until every inch of his body was in mid-air, he did not understand why. His thoughts and behaviors were always the opposite after death.

The shape began to change, the cloak and armor on his body became empty, the scarlet red in his eyes became even more fanatical, and the withered legs turned into black fog, and he quickly advanced toward the bottom of the cave.

I don’t know which idiot said it, the darker the lower the view. But did the exit at the bottom of the cave flash with light? After Nathanos passed through it, he immediately noticed that he had come to a sea of ​​crystals. It was full of bright crystals and a lake formed by fresh water. It was so cold that it made people tremble, but the lake was not frozen. It was really strange!

Nathanos changed back to his original form. This transformation was not anytime and anywhere. After each transformation, he would briefly enter a weak state. He happened to observe here while he was recovering.

It is very suitable to describe this place as "forgotten", but it is somewhat inappropriate, because there are still creatures in the cave. The tall and distorted faceless people actually wander here. They walked around aimlessly, and even after Nathanos broke into this place, he did not launch an attack.

Pay attention to the ice in the water. The last sentence before the boy disappeared seemed to remind Nathanos to focus on the lake. Because of the light, the color of the water and the crystal color were mixed together, and it was all purple, so it was difficult to see what was under the water. There were no ice...

If there is no water surface, then it is under the water. The wither pounces on the lake and verify that his ideas are correct.

The situation in the water is different. In the mud pond at the bottom of the water, there are many broken skeletons, some scattered items and clothes, and... crystal?

Nathanos noticed a piece of crystal floating in the middle of the lake, emitting a dark blue color different from other crystals. This is what the boy said? It is indeed like ice, but what is the difference? Nathanos understood everything when he got close.

This thing is not crystal at all, but some kind of organ wrapped in ice. The wither stretched out his hand to try to touch it, and it was only a distance from his fingertips to touch it, and a sharp pain came, and it felt like his hand had been cut off, but Nathanos saw no wounds. When he focused again, he heard the voices of the boy nearby floating.

"Don't touch it, you really shouldn't have done that."

Nathanos poked his head out of the water and approached the little ghost standing on the shore. "Why? Why is his heart here?" That is the most important organ of the human body. Nathanos saw clearly that he was not a fool. The boy was born from the human nature of Alsace, and he found a heart with himself. You don't have to doubt that you know who the owner of the heart is!

"Do you know?" the boy looked at Nathanos, who was wet. "I saw him throw it away and throw it here. He said he no longer needs it because it only makes him weak..."

Pain and helplessness were almost about to fight Nathanos. He could not imagine what kind of person could dig out his heart and abandon it. The prince's behavior has always been cruel, and so has it to himself.

"You really shouldn't touch it. Although it's only a little bit away, he's already known. He knows that someone has found his heart. Arthas abandoned it, but it doesn't mean he doesn't care. He will never allow anyone to make a fuss with this heart. He will come soon, you have to leave quickly." A small portal lit up behind the boy, "You can go through it and go back to the top of the cave."

"Why do you want me to know all this?"

"If the Lich King stood in front of you and you had a chance to kill him, would you seize the opportunity without hesitation?"

Nathanos didn't expect the boy to ask this question suddenly, and he fell into silence and stared at the portal with a serious expression.
