Volume 2: The Road to Dragon Feast Chapter 56: The Gods and the King
Having confirmed the powerful function of this "character background", Murphy can give full play to it.
Four or five ideas suddenly popped up in his mind. Murphy smiled and started to try them out.
[Your name is Aidan, you are the descendant of the Storm King and the goddess of life Notina...]
Prince + demigod, this background is powerful enough.
System prompt: The character's background setting conflicts with the plot and cannot be created.
Murphy was not very surprised. It seemed that the character background setting could not exceed the existing framework of the plot. Secondary settings were not allowed. Only those that conformed to the original background settings could be generated.
Obviously, King Storm and the Goddess of Life do not have any romantic relationship, so having children is obviously impossible.
It seems that parents can only choose one side when it comes to this matter.
[Your name is Aidan, you are the biological descendant of the goddess of life, Notina, a powerful demigod...]
System prompt: It takes 500,000,000 points to generate this character background. The balance is insufficient, please recharge.
Five hundred million points was already quite cheap compared to the reincarnation of the God of Creation, but it was still something Murphy couldn't afford.
If being a son is so expensive, wouldn’t being a grandson be cheaper?
[Your name is Aidan, you are the grandson of the goddess of life, Notina, a weak demigod...]
System prompt: It takes 300,000,000 points to generate this character background. Are you sure?
Hey, it’s indeed cheaper, the price has been cut by 40%. That means that the divine bloodline can actually be sold by weight!
Murphy was quite excited about his discovery; he felt that he had found the entry point.
[Your name is Aidan. You are the great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson of the goddess of life, Notina. The divine blood in your body has become very thin, and only a little divine power remains...]
System prompt: It takes 5,000,000 points to generate this character background. Are you sure?
Murphy clicked "no", and in his heart he lamented that it would cost five million to dilute the bloodline of the gods for eight or nine generations. It was really not cheap to have a relationship with the gods.
However, he still planned to create a background setting of divine blood for his character. It was not because he was attracted by the attribute bonus and blood talent of divine blood, but mainly because many hidden professions, hidden tasks, and hidden skills could be triggered through special identity background.
Even if the chance of triggering it is only 1%, you may get lucky a few times over time, but if you don't have the background in this area, it will be 100% impossible for you to encounter it.
This is the difference between 0 and 1. It may seem like a small difference, but in fact it is a world of difference.
However, there is no need to choose which god's grandson you will be. The decision will depend on the specific country of your birth.
In addition to the background of divine bloodline, there is of course also the background of royal bloodline. Gods and kings are basically the top identities in Western fantasy stories.
Murphy is planning to find himself a prince.
Players with the title of "Prince" can obtain a simplified lord module, with their own fiefdoms and vassals. In addition to killing monsters, leveling up and completing quests, they can also try farming and enjoy the feeling of being a local emperor.
Moreover, the 'Prince' can lead troops in the early stage. With his younger brothers helping in fighting, the upgrade speed is naturally guaranteed. Other heroes have to worry about being accidentally killed by the plot when they are at a low level, but the prince is much safer in this regard.
[Your name is Aidan, you are the eldest son of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and have the right to inherit the throne...]
System prompt: It takes 300,000,000 points to generate this character background. The balance is insufficient, please recharge.
Murphy sighed in his heart, three hundred million, almost as much as the price of being the goddess's biological son, Menethil, Menethil, your throne is too valuable.
He thought about it and felt that the key should be the right of inheritance. If the player really inherited the throne and became the King of Lordaeron, he could then buy and sell titles and fiefs. There would be too many ways to make a profit. From this point of view alone, three hundred million is not too expensive.
[Your name is Aidan, and you are an ordinary prince of the Kingdom of Lordaeron...]
This time it’s much cheaper, only five million.
There is indeed a big difference between having inheritance rights and not having inheritance rights.
But Murphy still couldn't bear to do it. He felt bad for spending 100,000 yuan to build a hero template, and 5 million... it was like robbing money.
After thinking about it, how about lowering the standards a bit?
[Your name is Aidan, you are the illegitimate son of the King of Lordaeron...]
This time it’s even cheaper, only 500,000.
However, spending half a million to buy the identity of an illegitimate child seems too cheap, and I don’t know if the illegitimate child has the title of prince. If not, it would be a big loss.
After thinking about it, Murphy decided to try another kingdom.
He opened all the optional forces and first removed several non-human forces such as Ironforge, Quel'Thalas, Gnomeregan, and Eyrie.
The remaining human forces were lined up, arranged from high to low according to their strength. Generally speaking, the stronger the force, the higher the price of the royal family would be, and the weaker the force, the cheaper the price would be.
At this time, Murphy looked closely.

Murphy tried them one by one, and it was just as he thought. The highest prices came from the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Stormwind. A biological son cost about five million, an illegitimate son cost half a million, and the eldest legitimate son cost over 100 million.
There is no royal family in Dalaran, so there is no choice. The prince of Kul Tiras is 3 million, while the princes of Stromgarde and Gilneas are only 2 million.
The cheapest one is the prince of the Kingdom of Alterac, who costs only 500,000 , the same price as the illegitimate child of Lordaeron, and the illegitimate child costs only 50,000.
The price for the eldest son is even cheaper, only 15 million points.
Murphy couldn't help but sigh. It was true that there were no human rights in a weak country. He didn't want to spend too much money. The total value of this account, one million, was already the limit he could afford.
The bronze hero template costs 100,000, the prince template costs 500,000, and the remaining 400,000 is enough to get some divine blood, and then you're done.
After struggling for a long time between the illegitimate son of Lordaeron and the biological son of Alterac, Murphy finally chose the latter. As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. The prince of a weak country is still a prince after all. He has territory and vassalages, which is better than an illegitimate son with no status.
Once the kingdom of birth is determined, the choice of gods becomes easier. The gods of the world of the sky all have human incarnations, and many of them have given birth to offspring with mortals. Generation after generation, who knows how many descendants they have. The ancestors of the royal family of Alterac were famous heroes after all, so they must have some connection with the descendants of gods.
The main belief of the people of Alterac is Anronas, the god of storms, so just start with him. If that doesn't work, try someone else.
[Your name is Aidan, you are the son of the King of Alterac, you have royal blood flowing in your body, and at the same time, you are also a distant descendant of Anronas, the God of Storms. Although the blood of the gods in your body has long been thin and undetectable, occasionally when a storm comes, you can still feel the restlessness in your heart, as if there is still a trace of storm power flowing in your body...]
After reading the character background generated by the system based on keywords several times, Murphy nodded with satisfaction and clicked "Generate".
[System prompt: 850,000 points are required to generate this character background. Do you confirm?]
The character background is 850,000, the hero template is 100,000, a total of 950,000, which is okay and not over the limit.
Confirmed, Murphy gritted his teeth and pressed it hard.
