Volume 9: Disaster Chapter 553 Old Henry's Prophecy
Not to mention the outliers among the Fire Elemental Lords - the Fire Demon Lords. They are fallen elemental lords and terrifying creatures who have defected to the Fire Evil God.
This Morgan Lisa might repeat Wilfred's tragedy.
Of course, there is also the possibility that Morgan Lisa is simply unable to complete the summoning ritual. After all, a being of the level of the Fire Lord is unlikely to be summoned by a wizard alone, and the mana consumption required is an astronomical figure.
Everyone was watching intently, waiting for the result of the summoning.
The elemental magic circle had already reacted, flames shot up into the sky, swirling upwards, and the boundary between the fire elemental plane and the real plane was gradually torn apart by the powerful magic, and a fire giant about seventy or eighty meters tall appeared in front of everyone.
His enormous stature was like a mountain of fire, two or three times taller than the previous King Jaraxxus.
Lagrios (Flame Lord), world class level 3, level 90, health 3 65000.
"Oh my god, is this true? It was really summoned."
"Everyone, pay attention, add the buffs. When the fight starts, you must go all out and fight to the death."
"Damn, I know this guy, Lagrios is a player, he must have signed the contract for money, there must be something shady going on!"
The last sentence was shouted out by a contestant.
But no one paid any attention.
NPCs are completely unable to understand the concept of 'player'.
As for other players, those who know a little bit about the business know very well that even if there is an agreement and a contract, it is still very difficult to summon a Fire Demon Lord. Not to mention the sacrifices, the mana consumed is not something that ordinary spellcasters can do.
Even if a group of mages come on the field together, there may not be enough mana. How terrifying must the mana value of Morgan Lisa be.
Judging from the fact that she can summon the Fire Lord, she is definitely one of the best among the candidates.
Although Antonidas was surprised, he did not forget the real purpose of this Guardian selection event.
Antonidas (Speaker of Dalaran): "Lady Morganissa, can you control this Firelord? Can you avoid the tragedy that happened before?"
Before Morgan Lisa could speak, Laglios spoke directly.
Lagrios (Lord of the Fire Demon): "You can put away your staff, little mortal. I have accepted the summons as agreed. I have signed a contract with the elementalist in front of me. I will help you deal with those undead in exchange for my coming to this world.
As long as you understand your situation and do not try to challenge my anger, you will be safe, otherwise I will let you know what the end is coming! "
The voice of the Fire Demon Lord echoed in the air like thunder.
It really looks majestic and domineering.
Although he spoke arrogantly, Lagrios was actually a little scared in his heart. What a joke! Why are there so many adventurers?
Looking around, there were tens of thousands of them in black. If a fight really broke out, he would probably be killed by every ice arrow shot by each of them.
Of course, if Lagrios is really pushed to the limit, he can make those present pay a heavy price. If he really wants to risk his life, he can directly destroy the venue with a body-burning explosion.
But Lagrios doesn't want to risk his life unless it's absolutely necessary. He is still hoping to make a lot of money with this account.
The six-member council discussed for a while and finally came to a conclusion.
Although this Fire Demon Lord is somewhat dangerous, he will undoubtedly play an important role in the upcoming war.
Morgan Lisa's final score was a high score of 59 points, and the 1 point she lost was due to reliability.
Then several players summoned their own summoned creatures one after another.
But compared to Morgan Lisa's grand scene, it is far inferior.
What surprised Murphy was that two NPCs actually made a brilliant appearance.
One is Ronin, who is also a character with a protagonist halo in the official history. When he was young, he accidentally killed his teammates because of his reckless use of magic, and thus became a scourge in the eyes of the Dalaran mages.
Later, he led a team of adventurers to rescue the red dragon queen Alexstrasza from the Dragonmaw Clan, and seized the Dragon Soul from the orc warlock Nekros. Finally, he assisted the guardian dragons in defeating Deathwing and achieved fame.
Later, he married the third of the Wind Walker sisters, Veresa, as his wife. He can be said to be a winner in life and his life is quite fulfilling.
However, in the current timeline, this Roning does not have so many great achievements. Instead, he is quite miserable. He accidentally killed his teammates, and none of the subsequent series of highlights appeared.
As a result, he is still a person who is not loved by his uncle and grandmother, but he still has some strength, and coming to compete for the position of guardian can be regarded as an attempt to wash away the shame.
Another plot character is a dwarf - Milhouse Manastorm, and Murphy doesn't know much about this character.
I originally thought he was just a funny guy like Wilfred, but I didn't expect him to be so stable and successfully summoned a granite elemental giant from the earth elemental plane.
The seven people who finally advanced successfully were:
Morgan Lisa - Summoned Creature: Firelord.
Morgana - Summoned Creature: Demigod of the Wilderness.
Floating Dream - Summon Creature: Astral Dragon.
Voldemort's original demon - summoned creatures: a cluster of soul-sucking monsters.
Ronin - Summoned creature: giant two-headed hellhound.
I Am the Only One - Summon Creature: Giant Arcane Aberration.
Millhouse Manastorm - Summon Creature: Granite Elemental Giant.
Finally, the first round of Guardian selection came to a successful conclusion.
Next, Antonidas announced the content of the second round of tasks.
In the upcoming battle with the Scourge, the seven candidates will need to prove their courage and determination on the battlefield.
Kill a Death Lord of the Scourge. The stronger the target is, the greater the chance of advancement.
This time, it was a seven-to-three round, and finally three candidates were selected to enter the final round.
Murphy was speechless after hearing this. This old guy Antonidas really had a plan. He had these candidates completely under his control. Now let's see if you guys don't fight hard.
It is true that Dalaran's foundation and hidden strength are very powerful, but the mages are shrewd and calculating creatures. During the war, they just work but do not put in any effort. They always want to preserve their useful bodies for magic research and exploring the mysteries of magic.
So when they get to the battlefield, they often don't fight hard enough.
He is not as brave and aggressive as a warrior, nor as hostile as a paladin.
This is why, despite having such a powerful lineup of heroes, Dalaran has little presence in every story battle.
Now, after being messed around with by Antonidas, they finally became eager to fight.
When Antonidas announced the end of the game and everyone was leaving, Lothar stopped Murphy.
Lothar (Regent of Stormwind): "Lord Aidan, can we talk?"
Aidan (Protector of Alterac): "Of course, Grand Duke Lothar, what do you want from me?"
The two men walked to a deserted place, and several of Lothar's guards surrounded them and formed an area where they could talk in secret.
However, a look of shame appeared on Losa's face.
"I'm sorry that I didn't believe you before and didn't send troops to join you in the expedition to Northrend, but as the regent of Stormwind, I must prioritize my people. I hope you can understand."
Murphy nodded. "Of course, I can totally understand that. Grand Duke Lothar doesn't have to mind. Other kingdoms haven't sent troops either."
"I came to you because I want to ask you a favor. Varian did a terrible thing. Although he is not a bad person by nature, it is just that the heavy burden forced him to take risks. However, he did bring a terrible threat to himself and the entire alliance.
If it weren’t for him, the disaster of the Scourge might not have happened…”
Murphy shrugged noncommittally. This was not necessarily the case. The Scourge would definitely appear, it was just that the personnel would be different.
Lothar continued: "But I still hope to save him, not only because he is the king of Stormwind, but also because I watched him grow up.
I have a feeling that maybe only you can save him. Please forgive an old man for making such an excessive request. "
Murphy nodded with a serious expression, "Varian is also my brother. I will do my best to save him, but this requires a little cooperation. Lord Lothar, are you willing to be my brother?"
"brother?"
"Yes, it is essential to saving Varian."
"If that's the case, of course I'm willing - and if Prince Aidan really can't save Varian, I hope you can promise me one thing."
"What is it?"
"If you can't save him, then save his soul. I believe he definitely doesn't want the evil orc warlock to use his body to commit all kinds of evil deeds. If you can't save him from this doom, then put an end to him and let him die as a human being."
Murphy was shocked. Looking at Duke Lothar's painful expression, he thought that this old man was also a ruthless person.
"Okay, I promise you, I will definitely save him."
…
Just as the Alliance heroes in Dalaran were gathering their strength, the Scourge was also advancing along the predetermined route.
At this moment, they have arrived at the territory of the South Sea Kingdom.
South Sea Kingdom - Hillsbrad Foothills - Darkwood Town:
Old Henry stood in the crowd, looking at the densely packed undead warriors around him. He felt as if his whole body was soaked in cold water, with fear and despair constantly surging.
(Fool Henry, why did you stay? The king has clearly ordered the evacuation, why did you still insist on staying on your farm?
Working in the fields in broad daylight! Now it's all over, you're going to die, and Emily, she's done for too.)
Old Henry's eyes fell on his wife beside him. Emily had a confused and frightened expression, just like all the villagers.
Villagers are NPCs with common faces, and they are usually refreshed with a 50/50 ratio of male to female.
Since villagers, as the most common NPCs, are often killed by monsters, new ones will be constantly refreshed to fill the vacancies, and sometimes they will be disrupted and reorganized.
Old Henry was also lucky enough to get a wife one day.
He always felt that he was so lucky. With his wife, old Henry was extremely happy every day. Even if he still lived a boring life of farming and cutting wood every day, he seemed to have a purpose.
It would be even more perfect if another child was born in the family one day.
However, it seems that this luck has finally come to an end.
A terrifying knight in skeleton armor galloped slowly past the crowd and stopped in front of an even more terrifying knight. The knight was riding a giant dragon that exuded a chilling coldness. The chill came from the dragon.
'Famine Knight' Winter is Coming (Death Knight): "Master, these are all the captured residents."
Winter is coming and he pointed at the group of villagers in front of him with numb expressions.
Gul'dan was slightly stunned when he looked at these people. "Only these few people?"
For such a big town, there should be at least several thousand people, but there are only a hundred or so villagers in front of us.
This disappointed Gul'dan very much.
"According to the interrogation, the King of Nanhai had already evacuated most of the townspeople in advance. Only these people stayed behind because they were unable to evacuate in time."
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. All of them will be transformed into zombies and used as cannon fodder."
As Old Henry listened to the conversation between the two monsters, a strong sense of fear and anger suddenly surged in his heart.
No, this cannot happen! I cannot just sit there and wait for death, I must do something!
However, he could do nothing. As a farmer of only level 5, he had no combat skills except farming and logging, and he didn't even have the ability to actively attack.
Moreover, he was in a 'captive' state at this time, in which he could not launch an attack.
No matter how scared he was, old Henry could only stand there stupidly, waiting for disaster to come.
The villagers walked towards the group of undead wizards in black robes in a daze, and were transformed into zombies one after another.
However, before old Henry could find a way out of the impasse, misfortune had already befallen Emily.
An undead wizard raised his staff and pointed it at Emily's face.
After a spell, Emily's beautiful skin dried up in an instant, and her brown eyes emitted a faint blue light. She instantly turned into a walking corpse without any independent consciousness.
No!
Old Henry cried out in despair in his heart, his hands were shaking, and his face turned red because of the rage in his heart. A skeleton pushed him from behind, and he should have walked over obediently and become the next victim. However, at this moment, the anger was so intense that the color of the name above his head turned red.
Old Henry (Angry Farmer), Elite, Level 15, 550 HP.
Old Henry (the angry farmer): "Get away you monster and don't touch my wife."
He knocked the skeleton soldier in front of him off balance with a punch, snatched the rusty sword from the other's hand, and rushed towards the necromancer with a shout. The necromancer shot a magic at him in surprise, but old Henry suddenly bent down to avoid it, and the sword pierced the necromancer's heart.
-682 (critical hit)!
Did I kill someone?
Before old Henry could recover from his shock, he was surrounded by seven or eight skeleton soldiers.
Winter is Coming looked at the commotion not far away with a look of surprise. A level 5 villager could actually kill two level 20 skeleton soldiers. How could this be justified?
No, how did this guy become an elite?
However, even if they are elites, they are of no significance. In front of the Scourge, they can only chop down a few more skeleton soldiers.
Soon old Henry was knocked to the ground and dragged in front of Gul'dan like a dead dog.
Gul'dan was also a little surprised. "This is really interesting. A useless farmer can actually burst out with such courage."
At this moment, old Henry seemed to have broken through the invisible shackles and was no longer as timid as before.
"Damn monster, damn undead, don't be too proud too soon. The Alliance will definitely defeat you and avenge us. You rotten corpse, filthy soul, you will definitely pay the price for your atrocities. I curse you, and curse your soul!"
“Hahaha, curse me? I’m afraid you don’t understand the true meaning of curse.
Humph, those nobles of your alliance have already fled, your so-called king has abandoned you, and the warriors of the alliance have been defeated before me. Your words are meaningless, no one can defeat me, no one!"
"No, that's not the case!" Old Henry suddenly remembered something. It was a few years ago when he was farming in the farmland near Nanhai Town and met Prince Aidan. Ah, Prince Aidan was so noble and kind, and he had a cordial conversation with him.
And thanked myself.
Unfortunately, I didn’t know what kind of demon I had found at that time, and I couldn’t say a word .
Yes, Prince Aidan, he would never flee incompetence like other noble kings.
He will definitely defeat the monster in front of him.
"Prince Aidan, Prince Aidan will definitely defeat you!" Old Henry shouted, with a fanatical light in his eyes.
"Yes, that's right. Prince Aidan will defeat you on the battlefield and kill you with his own hands. Your fate has been determined. I believe that this will definitely happen.
Gul'dan's face looked a little ugly.
Aidan... Aidan Delon... the King of Ancient Dragons... He still remembered that terrible opponent.
For some reason, he felt an inexplicable hatred for this name, as if they had been enemies long ago.
"Hehe, your ignorance makes me laugh. The Prince Aidan you mentioned is not much stronger than others. I defeated him once, and I will defeat him a second time. Do you want to see Prince Aidan avenge you with your own eyes? Well, I will do as you wish..."
Gul'dan suddenly stabbed out with his sword, and old Henry, who was pierced by Frostmourne, instantly lost his life. His eyes emitted a faint blue flame, and the name above his head changed again.
Old Henry (Undead Warrior), Elite, Level 25...The color of his name also changed.
Like other undead, it joined the undead army in a daze. It was not known whether it was a coincidence or not, but as it walked, it and the zombie named Emily gradually approached each other and were no longer separated.
