Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 145 Divine Skills
Tianxiu: "Yes, of course I am a king-loving person. I am a bastard, so it is not my turn to be the Lich King. Moreover, even if the Lordaeron Empire is established, the more than 70 princes and princesses would have already taken all the money. What can a bastard like me get?
So the best choice is to follow Arthas. Being an illegitimate child also has its advantages. After all, if we are all princes, it would be difficult to lower our face to rely on a twelve-year-old brother. But I am not a prince, so naturally I don’t have any concerns in this regard.
So now I have a good relationship with him. This time he specially chose me to accompany him on the mission to Stormwind City.
When he becomes the Lich King in the future, I can at least become one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which is much better than being a court swordsman."
Mo Fei thought to himself that this was a good idea and it had a great chance of success.
Aidan: "What's up with that Morgan Lisa?"
Tian Xiu: "That woman is a lunatic. She doesn't care about any faction at all. She just wants to study magic and challenge powerful enemies. But she has a good relationship with Arthas, so she came along this time."
Aidan: "Haha, this woman sounds quite interesting."
Tianxiu: "Interesting? Haha, not only interesting, but also sick. This woman actually thinks this game is so real. Maybe the magic in the game can really be practiced in real life. So every day she has nothing to do, she collects all kinds of magic spells, mysterious rituals and other information, especially those missions to eliminate cults. She has accepted many missions, but she has not completed many of them. She has learned a lot of cult rituals. She is crazy and I don’t know when she will turn evil."
Murphy was shocked. He didn't expect that he was not the only one who had similar thoughts.
He had such an idea because of Morpheus and the success of the Dragon Feast Ceremony, but he didn't know why this woman had a similar idea.
Murphy occasionally wanted to talk to Morgan Lisa, but this woman had been offline since she got on the boat.
I haven't seen him for several days.
In this atmosphere of suspicion, we arrived at King's Port of Storm Kingdom.
Seeing the open dock of King's Harbor in the distance, Murphy took a deep breath and said, Stormwind City - here I come.
The fleet slowly sailed into the port, and several warships of the Storm Kingdom followed behind, half as if to greet them and half as if to be on guard.
The port guns fired a twenty-four-gun salute of welcome, which was returned by salutes from the warships.
Soon Murphy and everyone got off the boat, and the officials in charge of the port came out to greet them. When they learned that the envoys from the Kingdom of Alterac and the Kingdom of Lordaeron had arrived, they hurriedly reported to the palace and asked everyone to make some corrections at the port.
Murphy was not surprised by this. For a special envoy of such a national level to visit, there must be a welcoming ceremony and special reception staff.
It's impossible to let them go straight into the city in such a confused manner.
He wandered around the port and suddenly discovered a temple of the God of Storms.
Aidan: "Don't worry, I'll go to the Storm Temple first to thank Anolos for his protection along the way."
He asked the others to rest first and walked into the Storm Temple alone.
The Stormwind Temple in Stormwind is quite grand in scale. It is located on a coast not far from the port. It seems that its status is only slightly lower than that of the Temple of the Church of the Holy Light.
The relationship between Stormwind City and Storm Temple is quite interesting. It is said that the founder of the Knights of Stormwind was once a believer of the God of Storms. There are still many members from the Church of the God of Storms in the Knights of Stormwind. Even the names of the Knights of Stormwind are related.
Murphy walked into the temple, explained his purpose, and was immediately led into a prayer room.
After the priest left, Murphy prayed in a low voice in front of the statue.
"Oh Anolos, the God of Storms, I have completed your mission. Please pass on your wisdom to me."
As soon as Murphy finished speaking, a list of exchangeable divine skills immediately appeared in front of him.
Murphy heaved a sigh of relief. He had thought something strange was going to happen, but it seemed that the gods still kept their words.
Generally speaking, completing this kind of deity mission under normal circumstances will directly reward you with a skill scroll. As for what skills can be obtained, it all depends on luck.
This time Murphy is a special case and can choose freely, which is a great opportunity.
The God of Storms mainly controls the two major areas of storms and thunder and lightning, so his skills are mainly based on these two factions.
Among them, divine arts are the main one, while combat skills are relatively less, and magic is even less.
Murphy silently browsed through the divine arts, combat skills, and magic that could be learned.
Storm Spear, Storm Blade, Wind Walk, Storm Assault, Summon Tornado, Summon Wind Elemental, Hurricane Armor...
Thunder incarnation, thunder spear, thunder spell, lightning storm, chain lightning, lightning arrow...
There are quite a lot of skills to learn, but Murphy was not dazzled by the choices. First of all, he had to remove all the divine arts and magic. He was a strength and agility type, so he also had to increase his physical fitness and endurance. He definitely couldn't increase attributes such as intelligence, mental perception too much, so no matter how good his spell skills were, they would be useless.
However, there are still many combat skills.
Murphy thought for a moment and decided that he should first have a displacement skill, something like Fearless Slash, which would be very useful whether he was running away or cutting the back row.
The thing that melee professions fear most when fighting against magic professions is that they cannot get close to the opponent.
Murphy took a fancy to two skills among the divine skills: Wind Step and Storm Assault.
Wind Step: Increases your movement speed by 50% for 30 seconds. During this period, your physical collision size is reduced by 50%, and your next attack gains additional speed damage bonus.
Storm Assault: Use the power of the storm to soar into the air and launch an aerial assault on a distant target, knocking back enemies around the target when landing.
Having to choose between the two, Murphy considered it for a moment before choosing Storm Assault as his charge skill. The instantaneous displacement effect is definitely better than having to run away. This Wind Step has no stealth effect, so in comparison, Storm Assault is more useful.
This thing is basically an enhanced version of the Storm of the Fearless Slash. Not only can it jump farther, but it also has a group knockback effect when it lands, making it easier to decapitate in melee combat.
For the second skill, Murphy also found two good options.
Hurricane Armor: You are surrounded by a fierce hurricane for 30 seconds. During this period, enemies within 5 yards around you will be affected by a continuous slowing effect, and any ranged physical attacks targeting you will be affected by the deflection effect.
Thunder Incarnation: Your body is filled with thunder power for 30 seconds. During this period, your physical attacks will cause an additional 55 points of thunder damage to the target hit, and there is a 33% chance of triggering a paralysis effect.
Both skills are status skills, one is mainly for defense and the other is for attack.
After hesitating for a moment, Murphy chose Hurricane Armor this time. This skill is very effective against both melee and ranged enemies.
In comparison, although the Thunder Incarnation has cool sound and light effects, with lightning in his eyes and lightning on his body, and looks like the God of Thunder, to be honest, it is not very practical. His current melee attack damage is already high enough, and the additional 55 points of lightning damage is better than nothing. As for the paralysis effect... If a thing as big as the Dragon Slaying Sword hits a person, it will most likely cause a stiffness effect. This short-term paralysis effect also feels a bit redundant.
After selecting the two skills, the list in front of him immediately disappeared. A breeze surrounded him, swirling around him, making a melodious and pleasant sound, which made his body and mind refreshed for a moment. An invisible knowledge was injected into his mind, and he instantly mastered the use of the two skills.
Is this a divinely granted skill? Haha, it's quite convenient.
Murphy was quite happy.
He turned and left the prayer room.
When he left the Temple of the Storm and returned to the waiting area at the port, the people sent by Stormwind City to greet him arrived.
Anduin Lothar (Captain of the Stormwind Knights): "Welcome to Stormwind City. May I ask who you are?"
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "I am Prince Aidan from Alterac, and these two are my brothers, Prince Sigrette and Prince Darabonba.
This is Prince Arthas, the envoy from Lordaeron, and this is Princess Morganissa, and Prince Muradin Bronzebeard of Ironforge. We have accepted Stormwind's invitation to attend the Alliance meeting and investigate matters concerning the orc invasion."
Anduin Lothar (Captain of the Storm Knights): "Ah, welcome, welcome. It is a great honor to witness your arrival. On behalf of King Llane, I welcome you all. Please follow me. Most of the Alliance's envoys have arrived. Only the elves from Quel'Thalas have not arrived yet. I will take you to the palace to check in and wait for the meeting to begin."
