Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 149 Mysterious Man and Mysterious Man
Murphy: "Hello, Wang Xuan, are you there?"
Wang Xuan: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Murphy: "Have you seen the post [Varian's Call] in the forum?"
Wang Xuan: "Oh, that promotional animation. Of course I watched it. I made that one. What's wrong with that?"
Damn, this guy actually did it. Mo Fei was a little speechless, maybe he was just being too sentimental.
Murphy: "Aren't you worried? What if too many adventurers are invited? Wouldn't the opening of the Dark Portal fail again?"
Wang Xuan: "Hahahaha, you are quite concerned. Don't worry, we have made all the preparations this time. We will definitely not mess up like last time. Besides, the more people participate, the more lively it will be. It will be more exciting. It would be best if we could attract a million adventurers and expose the war in all directions. We can film the war scenes and release it as a movie. That will definitely go viral, and it will also be convenient for our game company to promote it. A million adventurers saving the world or something like that, it sounds very exciting."
Murphy thought to himself that you are really bold. How many orcs will the tribe need to kill? Historically, the entire tribe's orc army seemed to have only a few hundred thousand. If you really recruit a million adventurers, then by then there will be more people than monsters. What's the point of fighting? One orc for each person won't be enough. You can just push back through the Dark Portal and sweep across Draenor, right?
Murphy: "Are you sure it's okay? Why am I so unsure?"
Wang Xuan: "Don't worry, it will be fine. It's not convenient to talk in detail over the phone. How about this, let's find a place to talk in detail. You can come to the Pig and Whistle Tavern. I have something to tell you."
The Pig and Whistle? Murphy was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that Wang Xuan was talking about the place name in the game. He thought, okay, after all, it would be more convenient.
Murphy entered the game again, and after leaving the palace, he asked his way all the way to the dark alley area of Stormwind City.
The Pig and Whistle Tavern is not a very famous tavern with a poor environment, few customers, and average food and drinks. In addition, the security in the dark alley area is not very good, and there are many thieves and pickpockets active here. Except for dark professions such as thieves and assassins who come here to do professional tasks or buy poison, even adventurers generally don't like to come here.
Most adventurers prefer to go to the Golden Rose Tavern in the trade zone for a drink, or to the Golden Barrel Tavern to drink heartily...
Because this area was too dilapidated, Stormwind was later conquered by orcs and the entire city was almost razed to the ground. Only the Dark Alley area was preserved because it was too dilapidated, and later became the old city area of the new Stormwind.
When Murphy found this place, the whole pub was deserted with only three or five customers. As soon as he entered the door, the bartender looked at Murphy with a strange look and opened his mouth in surprise.
Murphy ignored the bartender's gaze. As a prince, he would attract a lot of attention. He was used to it. He looked around but didn't see Wang Xuan until he heard a call from the corner - "Hey, this way."
Following the sound, I saw an NPC wearing a travel cloak and a hood sitting there. The name displayed above his head was - Mysterious Man (Tavern Guest), Level: ???
Hey, this game can actually change the avatar and name? And I didn't even notice him just now, he looked so conspicuous...
Murphy walked over and sat down opposite the man, and under the hood was indeed Wang Xuan's face.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "What are you doing?"
Mysterious man (tavern guest): "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, understand? Otherwise, how can I explain if someone sees me? I am a holy envoy of the divine world, a messenger of the gods, and I come to a tavern to drink? Don't you realize that you are very eye-catching? Come on, put this on."
As he said this, he handed over a cloak of the same style.
Murphy took it and took a look, and found that it was actually a piece of equipment.
[Mysterious Man Cloak (Cloak/Normal)
Creations of Gods: Indestructible.
Equipment: Transforms you into a 'mysterious person', and your identity will automatically be synchronized with the current scene.
Item Description: This cloak made of grey wool is a must-have for travelers. It can protect against wind and rain, and is also an excellent item for concealing one's identity. Although the cloak is simple, it is enough to conceal one's identity, making one appear low-key and mysterious, and usually not noticed by people nearby. 】
Oh my god, there is such good stuff.
Murphy put it on without saying anything, and the name above his head immediately changed to - Mysterious Man (Tavern Guest), Level???
Murphy glanced towards the bartender, and sure enough, the bartender immediately stopped looking in his direction.
This cloak seems to have the effect of reducing one's presence.
Mysterious Man (Tavern Guest): "So, what plans have you prepared to deal with the adventurers?"
Mysterious man (tavern guest): "It's not what I prepared, it's what the system prepared. The system will automatically optimize and update the game mechanism based on previous game data. As a GM, I have the authority to check it in advance. There are three updated mechanisms this time, which are enough to ensure that the plot unfolds according to the script.
The first mechanism removes the resurrection points in the battlefield area. Once an adventurer dies, he can only be resurrected outside the battlefield.
The second mechanism is that all adventurers who die on the battlefield will receive a DEBUFF called [Wounded], and all attributes will be reduced by 30%. The second time they die, they will receive a DEBUFF called [Seriously Wounded], and all attributes will be reduced by 60%. The third time they die, they will receive a DEBUFF called [Dying], and all attributes will be reduced by 90%.
These three DEBUFFs cannot be cured or removed by any magic or divine arts, and can only be eliminated automatically after the battle is over.
Therefore, even if the adventurer is resurrected or enters the battlefield again, he will basically not be able to exert much combat power.
In this way, adventurers can no longer win the war by mindlessly resurrecting and mindlessly piling up heads.
The third mechanism is that the system adds a BUFF called [War Frenzy] to the tribe. With the blessing of this BUFF, the population growth rate of the tribe increases by 300%, and the probability of the birth of advanced soldiers increases by 100%. In addition, as the population grows, the system will spawn elite and BOSS-level units such as Orc Centurions, Orc Warriors, Orc Generals, Orc Warlords, and Orc High Warlords with common faces and random attribute skills.
So don't worry, the number of orc armies will definitely be enough for adventurers to defeat, and they will definitely win the final victory in the second Battle of the Dark Gate.
Besides you, there is also you."
Mysterious man (tavern guest): "Me? What does it have to do with me?"
Mysterious man (tavern guest): "Why are you playing dumb? Don't forget that Deathwing has now joined forces with Sargeras. If the Horde really can't beat the adventurers, you, as Deathwing, will naturally lead the black dragon army to join the battle. Wouldn't that be safe?"
Mysterious man (tavern guest): "But at that time I was just bluffing to protect myself. In the event of [The Demon King's Conspiracy], my plot identity is Prince Aidan."
Mysterious man (tavern guest): "You don't understand this. As long as there is a plot event, it will be entered into the system's database, and the system writes the script based on the data that has already happened.
Think about it, your meeting with Sargeras must have happened in history, right?
So what is the truth of history? There are only two possibilities.
1. Prince Aidan pretended to be Deathwing and fooled Sargeras.
2. Deathwing transformed himself into Prince Aidan and secretly reached an agreement with Sargeras to destroy the world.
Which one do you think is more plausible? Definitely the second one. The Sky Chronicle is not a collection of bad jokes. If Sargeras was fooled by Aidan so easily, it would be too fake.
Therefore, the system has already taken Deathwing into account as a variable, and it is only natural for Deathwing to assist the Horde. I have already checked the script written by the system in advance, and it is clearly written in the script that [During the Battle of the Dark Portal, Deathwing led the black dragon army to secretly spy on the war between the Alliance and the Horde, and was ready to intervene at any time]. As for whether to intervene, it depends on how the battle develops at that time.
Damn, he even wrote the script.
Mysterious Man (Tavern Guest): "Can I see the script?"
Mysterious man (tavern guest): "That won't do. How can we easily reveal the secret? The system's script is like the flow of the river of fate in the context of the game. As one of the countless creatures in the world of the sky, neither Deathwing nor Prince Aidan can understand the true meaning of fate. You can only go with the flow and wait for fate to call you back."
Mysterious man (tavern guest): "Then how come you can watch it?"
Mysterious man (tavern guest): "I am the Holy Envoy of the God Realm. The gods are beyond fate. As the messenger of the gods, of course I can predict some future scenes in advance."
Mysterious man (tavern guest): "But I remember that the original script didn't say that."
Mysterious man (tavern guest): "There will definitely be some changes in the details, but it doesn't matter as long as the main storyline remains unchanged. Are you afraid?"
Mo Fei thought, how could he not be afraid? He would have to face hundreds of thousands, or even millions of adventurers. What if he died?
Humph, if Deathwing had died early in the Battle of the Dark Gate, I would like to know how you would write the future plot.
But think about it, it shouldn't be that necessary. If you can't win, you can always run away, unless you are really stubborn.
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare."
