Volume 2: The Road to Dragon Feast Chapter 90 Character Narration and New Specialties
Mo Fei thought that there was something else behind these words.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "What do you mean?"
Wang Xuan (Holy Envoy of the Divine Realm): "Do you know the role Deathwing plays in the plot?"
Murphy nodded.
The plot of Deathwing can be summarized in a few words.
In the early stages, he infiltrated the alliance, secretly plotted conspiracies, and colluded with tribes in an attempt to subvert the alliance.
He was exposed in the middle stage and had a head-on conflict with the justice camp, but was defeated and fled into hiding.
In the later period, he gradually fell into madness and started a catastrophe with the intention of destroying the world.
In the end, it was killed by the heroes, ending its sinful life.
Wang Xuan (Holy Envoy of the Divine Realm): "The problem is that Deathwing has been driven crazy due to a game bug. If we release him now, who knows what he will do. There is a high probability that he will start the Cataclysm early. You just saw the move he used, which is not a skill he should be able to use now.
If we really let it trigger a catastrophe, then the plot of the game will completely collapse, which is something we cannot allow to happen.
But I can't kill it, because someone else has to act out the Deathwing storyline.
So just now I suddenly thought of a brilliant idea, to find an actor to play the role of Deathwing, and then release it near the end. However, there are not many people who are capable of taking on this job, and you are the most suitable person.
If you are willing to accept this job and become a part-time BOSS, then Deathwing 's power can be temporarily given to you. How about it? Are you interested? This is Deathwing, the king of black dragons, a world-destroying BOSS that is more powerful than your ancient black dragon. There are not many of them in the entire world of the firmament..."
What Mo Feixin said sounds good, but the problem is that it cannot be used normally. It can only be used during the plot.
Facing Wang Xuan's temptation, Murphy was very calm, "Why me?"
Wang Xuan (Holy Envoy of the Divine Realm): "First of all, you are the prince of Alterac and have the legal right to inherit the kingdom. This means that after Deathwing merges with you, you meet the system's requirements of 'infiltrating the Alliance power class' and 'obtaining the right to inherit the kingdom'.
This will allow you to leave the mission area and fix the bug.
Second, you have experience in controlling the Ancient Black Dragon, and the Ancient Black Dragon is the closest being to Deathwing. That is to say, among all the players, you have the most experience in controlling Deathwing. A world-destroying BOSS is not that easy to operate, and Deathwing will have several war scenes in the future. If the actor's skills are not good enough, what if he kills Deathwing? So it's best if you take over this job.
Third, the boss Deathwing has a very strong middle school temperament, and not just anyone can play the role.
You are really into the role of a BOSS. I've watched your live broadcast, and honestly, you look like a villain. This is very important. After all, Deathwing is an iconic villain. If he doesn't show enough dominance and deterrence when he appears, it will be very bad for the reputation of our game company.
To sum up, you are the most suitable person for this job. "
Murphy thought about it and it seemed to be true.
But he was still a little unhappy. This kind of thing needs to be discussed beforehand. He had not agreed to accept this job before.
Wang Xuan (Holy Envoy of the Divine Realm): "The situation was urgent at that time. If Deathwing escaped, I would be at a loss. So be patient, brother. Don't worry, I will not let you work in vain. As long as you do this job well, you will get great benefits."
"What good can it do?"
"It depends on what you want. Salary, bonus, internal benefits, everything is negotiable."
Mo Fei thought that this was more or less okay, but he still needed to think about what benefits he wanted.
Wang Xuan (Saint Envoy of the Divine Realm): "Why don't you just come to work in our company? I can get you a job, and then we'll be colleagues."
"Stop, stop, stop. I don't want to work for others." Mo Fei thought to himself that he still had psychological trauma from all the trouble he had gone through at Xingyao Company.
"So what do you want?"
"I'll give you an answer after I think about it."
"So you took this job?"
Murphy nodded. "I'll take it, but let me make it clear first. When I need to help, I will do my best. But this is the first time I've done this, so don't blame me if I mess up."
Wang Xuan (Holy Envoy of the Divine Realm): "Don't worry, you can do it. Besides, there is a system. You have now merged with Deathwing. The system will automatically adjust the game parameters and guide the direction of the game plot to match your needs. You just need to follow the guidance of the system."
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "How do we cooperate?"
Wang Xuan (Holy Envoy of the Divine Realm): "Let's go out now. You will know soon."
The two walked in the direction they came from. Murphy opened the map. Just as the two were about to walk out of the map area, a voice suddenly sounded in Murphy's ears.
It was a deep and magnetic voice, like the narration in a game cutscene.
[Narrator: Prince Aidan looked at the corpse of the black dragon on the ground, his heart filled with the joy of surviving a calamity and the excitement of defeating a powerful enemy. This evil dragon that had been causing harm to one side was finally killed by him. From then on, the name of Dragon Slayer Aidan would be known to the world.
However, this joy was soon replaced by an indescribable excitement.
He was able to defeat such a powerful enemy. Isn't such strength the reason for him to be king?
The fire of ambition that had been suppressed in his heart for more than ten years was also ignited.
The young prince walked across the snow and strode towards the city of Alterac.
However, what he didn't know was that the mysterious black dragon was not really dead. At the moment he stabbed the sword into the black dragon's heart, the mysterious black dragon used the power of magic to possess him. It was now dormant in his body, affecting his mind and bewitching his soul, waiting for the moment that belonged to it to come...】
[System prompt: Complete the plot event [Hunting the Black Dragon]. In this event, Prince Aidan of Alterac led an army to Dragon's Roar Peak and was attacked by a mysterious black dragon. Although all his soldiers were killed in the battle, Prince Aidan still fought bravely and finally succeeded in killing the black dragon with his own hands.
However, the moment he stabbed the sword into the black dragon's heart, the black dragon disappeared mysteriously. This incident has been recorded in the Chronicles of the Sky.
Based on your performance in this plot event, you have received 999 plot points, 100 reputation points, and your popularity in the Sky World has increased slightly. 】
[System prompt: The hero's rank has been upgraded to Bronze 3, and you have gained a new hero specialty.]
The voice of the narration and the system prompt sounded one after another, leaving Murphy stunned for a while.
Wang Xuan saw his expression and immediately realized something. "What's going on? What happened?"
"I just heard a narration saying that a mysterious black dragon possessed me..." Murphy repeated the content of the narration.
Wang Xuan laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, this is all the system making up the story. This narration function is actually a built-in function when the game is tested. It is used to give prompts to the internal testers when they are going through the story. It was deleted after the official operation.
It seems that the system has discovered your special situation. Since you are a player, the character narration function has been enabled for you. You can understand it as a script outline sent to you by the system. After all, there must be a reasonable explanation in the plot for Deathwing's fusion with you.
You can't say it's the result of the gods' intervention, so it's most reasonable to explain it as Deathwing's conspiracy."
Murphy nodded and thought that was good, but he was still a little worried.
"Another question, could this Deathwing suddenly appear?"
"Hahaha, don't worry about that." Wang Xuan said as he took out a fist-sized crystal stone. The human figure of Neltharion suddenly appeared on the cut surface of the crystal. He roared silently, but it was useless.
Wang Xuan tossed the crystal gently as if he was catching a ball. "Deathwing's soul is in my hands. Its body is just an empty shell. It will not cause any trouble to you. Don't worry. I will keep it in the prison of the God Realm. It will be absolutely safe."
As he was speaking, his feet suddenly slipped and he lost his grip on the crystal, watching it fall to the ground.
With a snap, Murphy caught the crystal in mid-air and looked at Wang Xuan speechlessly.
Wang Xuan also smiled awkwardly, "Haha, what a surprise, absolutely a surprise."
Murphy looked at the crystal in his hand and wondered if this was the legendary soul crystal?
He handed the crystal back to Wang Xuan, who quickly put it in his bag and never dared to show off again.
The two men walked down the hillside and under a big tree, Murphy's horse was standing there leisurely. When he walked over, the horse let out a fearful neigh.
"Stop yelling."
The horse stopped neighing immediately, and Murphy climbed onto the horse. Originally, he only had elementary riding skills, and the horse would be somewhat bad-tempered when riding, but this time, the horse was obedient and submissive, like a well-behaved young wife.
It seems that the Dragon King's majestic intimidating effect is also effective on mounts.
Murphy nodded at Wang Xuan, then spurred his horse and galloped towards the city of Alterac.
[Narrator: Prince Aidan ran impatiently towards his future. He was driven by an unknown sense of urgency and wanted to return to the familiar city. Although he didn't know why, he still quickened his pace.
The power of darkness stirs in his heart, and a tragedy that is destined to happen is about to unfold...】
Damn, this character's narration is so annoying. Even though I know it's all fake, it always makes me feel creepy.
"System, can you shut up for a while? Remind me when the crucial plot comes."
[Narrator: Prince Aidan felt inexplicably anxious, as if there was a voice whispering in his ear. He roared a few times at the air as if to vent his anger, and the whispering voice finally disappeared.
Prince Aidan was able to relax. He thought what he had just heard was just some hallucinations. However, what he didn't know was that this nightmare had just begun...
This evil whisper from an unknown world will eventually lead him to madness. It is only a matter of time...】
Murphy went crazy. Now he understood why Deathwing went crazy. If he had such a voice nagging in his ears every day, it would be hard not to go crazy.
Fortunately, the narration really stopped now.
…
Wang Xuan looked at Mo Fei's receding back and breathed a long sigh of relief. He had finally managed to fool around with the BUG temporarily. However, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart that this crappy game was too crude. It was promised to have an intelligent system with self-consistent logic.
There have been constant bugs since the game's public beta. When will this daily process of checking for deficiencies and fixing them end?
Without thinking too much, Wang Xuan took out a Hearthstone and chose to teleport.
A white light flashed, and his figure appeared on a small island. The island was very small. There was only a small house and a few coconut trees on the bare island, surrounded by the vast ocean. Although the waves were surging, there was not even a trace of wind on the island, nor the sound of waves hitting the beach, nor the cry of seagulls. It was surprisingly quiet.
The sun was hanging in the sky, without any glare. Even the sunlight that was projected down seemed lazy, like a fake texture.
The entire island exists in , yet seems isolated from the world.
Wang Xuan pushed open the door of the hut and saw that the room was full of shelves with rows of soul crystals displayed on them, and each crystal had a yellow sticky note on it.
Wang Xuan placed the crystal in his hand on an empty space, tore off a note from the desk next to him, wrote the four words "Neltharion" on it and stuck it on the soul crystal.
"Okay, man, just calm down here."
…
With nothing to do, Murphy opened the expertise system while on the road.
