In addition to the message from the wood elf Aerin, Orion also received a message from Arthas.
"My friend, do you still have any Darkflame Stones?"
The message had been sent half a month ago. Since the onset of winter, the dark beast tides had kept Orion incredibly busy, leaving him little time to check the Survivor's Platform.
The Darkflame Stone Arthas referred to was actually just firestone.
"Not at the moment!"
Orion didn't outright refuse Arthas, leaving a glimmer of hope with the words "not at the moment."
"Hulk, my friend, get me another Darkflame Stone, and I'll have a surprise for you!"
"What kind of surprise?"
Orion's reply showed enough interest to keep the conversation going.
"A method to quickly advance from Hero-level to Alpha-level!"
"Not interested."
After sending this message, it seemed as though Arthas had been struck speechless, as there was no response for a long time.
