War Hymn of Warcraft [WOW] - Chapter 1

Twenty-five years of the Heimen calendar, summer.

The sun in Stormwind City is not particularly vicious, it shines on the body and is warm. Zhan Zhixing took off the silver-white Stormwind City plate armor one by one, threw them on the land by the lake, and did a few stretching exercises to activate his exhausted body after carrying the plate armor all day. Zhixing jumped lightly and plunged into the clear pool water in front of him.

Zhan Zhixing likes swimming very much. No matter how busy he was in the past, he would always swim in the swimming pool in the gym for an afternoon every week to relax his body after a busy week. It’s the same now, even though it’s a different place, the body still enjoys such relaxation after a day of exhaustion. Zhan Zhixing swam quietly in the pool like a dragon entering the water.

This is Aurelia’s pool, a small lake. Aurelia’s pool is composed of two waterfalls that are more than three meters high. The lake is not very shallow, and the deepest part is even 13 or 14 meters, but this small pool is still very suitable for swimming. If Zhan Zhixing stood up, the water here would just cover his shoulders. Of course, because the Draenei have not yet joined the alliance, the pool named after the little Draenei girl is not yet called Aurelia’s pool. Zhan Zhixing named this place West Lake, which can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for his hometown.

This is also Zhan Zhixing’s current home. The brick house that should have existed here has been pushed away. Zhan Zhixing personally designed a two-story western-style building with a rather earthy European style to replace the original low bungalow. Zhan Zhixing is quite fond of the environment here. There is a farm to the north and the dwarf area to the south. Along the dwarf area, you can quickly reach the king’s palace. Compared with the bustling trade area, the dwarf area can be regarded as inaccessible. What’s more, there is a direct subway to Ironforge, and the dwarves have no reason to stay in Stormwind City. They usually close their shops at night and take the subway back to Ironforge, which makes the entire Dongcheng District the quietest area.

Zhan Zhixing liked this location very much when he was still playing “World of Warcraft”. After arriving in Azeroth, although many terrains are different from those in the game, this house originally belonged to the training room of a werewolf druid Still won the joy of Zhan Zhixing. Because he rescued His Majesty King Varian Wrynn, no one objected to the king rewarding him with such a remote place.

Yes, Azeroth. A year ago, when Zhan Zhixing traveled here inexplicably, he had already confirmed this point. Zhan Zhixing was still twenty-four years old when he crossed over from Heimen, and his experience in this year made him confirm that he had really crossed over and lived in a real world. But sometimes he still gets a little confused, thinking it’s just a dream.

Thinking of this, he suddenly lost the mood to swim, and swam back to the shore, lying on the grass next to his plate armor, looking up at the sky. Breathing the fresh aroma of the green grass around him, he picked up a grass stalk and put it in his mouth. Zhan Zhixing could be sure that he was living in a real environment, and he closed his eyes gently. Zhan Zhixing sighed, some Things never convince themselves that the world is real…

“System…” Zhan Zhixing called out in a low voice, and opened his eyes again. There seemed to be a frame around the original blue sky, familiar icons, familiar interface, and even familiar shortcut bar settings. This is clearly Zhan Zhixing. The screen configured by Zhixing when playing “World of Warcraft”!

Now Zhan Zhixing can control the appearance of the interface menu as he likes. I think that when I first came to this world, I was lying on the beach like this. I opened my eyes and saw such a scene. The comatose man, with a green name on his head, thought that when did he buy the legendary full-true virtual online game?

Zhan Zhixing took a closer look, and the green name on the man’s head was so bright that his eyes were blinded—”Anonymous “.

Zhan Zhixing was a little embarrassed, seeing the crocodile slowly swimming up from the beach, and the loud shouts of the orcs in the distance, he was suddenly speechless.

I should be glad that Varian’s personality has not gone to the arena to become Lagash “Ghost Wolf” instead of the blind “half of Varian Wrynn” now ?

The man Zhan Zhixing met was the lord of Stormwind City, half of the King of Humans—His Majesty Varian Wrynn. Because of this, Zhan Zhixing was able to determine the time point where he was. In the twenty-fourth year of the Black Gate calendar, Varian Wrynn was torn apart by the black dragon princess Onyxia, and half of his personality lost his memory and became a gladiator. that year.

The later story was completely wiped out by Zhan Zhixing, the little butterfly pia. Although Broll Xiongpi and Varela Sangunar also appeared, the combination of the arena became a four-person group —Three of them played and one of them was preparing for the battle. Zhan Zhixing pushed Lagash’s return to Stormwind City forward by one year by relying on his grasp of the future plot, so that the leader of Stormwind City became Va Lian Wrynn.

It seems simple to say, but Zhan Zhixing has always believed that the life of this year is more exciting than the life of the previous nearly thirty years. Although with the help of the system, Zhan Zhixing’s journey in Dire Maul is still a life-and-death journey, not to mention that he also participated in the dragon-slaying journey and successfully killed the black dragon princess Onyxia. And in this year, Zhan Zhixing really understood why he was attracted by the game of “World of Warcraft” in the past. Although life is full of dangers, it is also full of adventures. This kind of life is what Zhan Zhixing has always wanted.

During this year, Zhan Zhixing also gained a lot. Clicking on the friend list, it is the friendship that Zhan Zhixing has gained in this year. Reginald Windsor, Bolvar Fordragon, Broll Bearskin, Varela Sangunar, Varian Wrynn, Tylan Fordring, Tirion. Fording and Jaina Proudmoore are all figures who have left a few strokes in the history of Azeroth, but what makes Zhan Zhixing feel very speechless is that he always makes friends because of various reasons. Such a “life-saving grace”.

After Zhan Zhixing first came to this new world, the three friends were all very strong, but just like this, he still created a “life-saving grace” in the adventure with the three of them. The famous four-person group of Dire Hammer: night elf druid Broll Bearskin, blood elf thief Varela Sangunar, human warrior Lagash, and paladin Zhan Zhixing. The depth is well-known in Dire Maul. Even now Varian no longer calls himself Lagash, but in private, his relationship with Zhan Zhixing, Ibrol, and Varela is still the same as before. What’s more, because of Zhan Zhixing’s credit for leading Lagash to reunite with the other half of Varian and killing Onyxia, Varian Wrynn trusted him.

As for Bolvar Fortagan and Reginald, it was because of the “life-saving grace”, because he knew that Marshal Reginald would have an accident, and Zhan Zhixing couldn’t bear to see such a young and hearty Marshal pass away like this , at the critical moment, prevented Onyxia’s dying counterattack, saved Reginald’s life, and became close friends with the young Marshal Reginald. By the way, Bolvar Fortagan was very appreciative of the commoner who brought the king back, and entrusted him to visit old friends in the Plaguelands.

Who knew that the old friend Bolvar mentioned was actually the famous paladin of the “Silver Hand” [Note 1], Tirion Fordring. Originally planned to take time to go to the plague land, Zhan Zhixing, who prevented the tragic death of little Fording, naturally received another “life-saving grace”: Old Fording, who blamed himself here, learned that Zhan Zhixing was from After the old friend Bolvar came, he was saddened by the tyranny of the Scarlet Crusade and the depravity of his son, and gave Zhan Zhixing a very famous commission in the game – the most touching questline in World of Warcraft “Love and Family” [Note] 2】. However, the final outcome will naturally not let Old Fording helplessly watch Tailan Fording die. Zhan Zhixing, who has been fully prepared, has also experienced many dangers, but in the end he persisted until the arrival of Old Fording and persuaded him to stay. took the life of a noble paladin who had just emerged from the fall.

Although the current old Fording did not suffer from the pain of bereavement, under the persuasion of Zhan Zhixing, he secretly started to reorganize the “Silver Hand” while dispelling natural disasters in the Plagueland; and Tailan Fording He returned to Stormwind City with Zhan Zhixing, trained new paladins in the Holy Light Cathedral and North County Abbey, and also became friends with Varian and Reginald.

The sound of footsteps gradually came from a distance, the hearty laughter and the clang of iron armor made Zhan Zhixing know who was coming without turning his head. Sure enough, after Zhan Zhixing blocked the system interface and stood up, he heard Tai Lan’s voice.

“Zhan Zhixing,” Tai Lan saw the paladin standing against the sun from a long distance, and walked a few quick steps involuntarily, leaving Reginald behind. The current appearance of Zhan Zhixing is obviously that he just came out of the water, his naked body glows bronze-colored under the rays of the setting sun, there are still water drops and broken leaves of green grass hanging in the gullies of his muscles, and he holds a piece of green grass in his mouth Duan Duan looked helplessly at the arrival of the two of them. For some reason, Tai Lan remembered the male sculptures he saw in the art gallery, and suddenly felt his face was a little hot, and his heartbeat suddenly became a little faster. He couldn’t help slowing down, shook his head annoyed, and praised the Holy Light , while throwing away the messy things that just flashed through my mind.

Reginald who was beside him didn’t notice Tailan’s strangeness, he smiled cheaply and moved to Zhan Zhixing’s side, and slapped him on the chest: “I just came out of Stormwind Fortress and ran to see no one in your house. Looking for you here, you are indeed here. But you are the most relaxed among the four of us. You don’t need to deal with government affairs with His Majesty in the fort every day like me, and you don’t need to pray to the Holy Light in the church every day like Tailan. I really don’t know why there is such a big difference between you and him, who are also paladins.”

Because of Reginald’s words, Zhan Zhixing didn’t pay too much attention to Tailan, shrugged helplessly, spit out the grass stalks in his mouth, sat on the grass and put on his clothes, and replied with a smile: “I Haven’t I explained everything to you, I don’t know how my holy light came from, I just know that somehow, I have this kind of power in my body.”

In Azeroth, all the power sources of paladins and priests who look up to the Holy Light come from their belief in the Holy Light, so they both pray in churches around the world every day to strengthen their beliefs and gain greater power. strength. Zhan Zhixing is an exception, perhaps because of the system, he does not need to believe in the Holy Light to release the Holy Light. Although Zhan Zhixing still needs to use skills through the system’s skill templates in the first few months of time travel, but now, Zhan Zhixing can basically control and use the holy light freely.

For a period of time, the Duke of Bolvar would persuade him to go to church to pray every day for the sake of fighting spirit. But later, Bovar found that even if Zhan Zhixing didn’t pray, the holy light on him still didn’t weaken in the slightest. Regarding such a situation, the two senior paladins, Tirion and Bolvar, had been discussing for a long time and couldn’t explain why, so they could only believe in “existence is truth”. However, this also allowed Zhan Zhixing to successfully escape the fate of being forced to stay in the church every day, and became the most leisurely one among the four.

Seeing his friend’s helpless expression, Reginald grinned and then turned serious, and started to talk about business: “Speaking of which, I was sent by His Majesty this time to find you and Tailan. He Let you go to Stormwind Keep to meet him as soon as possible.”

“What happened? Your Majesty wants the two of us to go over at such a late hour?” Tai Lan couldn’t help interjecting. When Reginald went to church to look for him just now, he just said that he would come to Zhan Zhixing, because the two often Came to Zhan Zhixing’s house for dinner, so Tai Lan didn’t know that there were other things to do.

Zhan Zhixing knew something else when he saw Reginald’s clothes. Although Tyran, as a paladin, usually wore plate armor all day long for his practice, Reginald today was also dressed in a basic suit when he was resting. The bright silver marshal’s plate armor that he can’t wear is obviously the equipment that soldiers only wear when they meet foreign guests. While putting the plate armor into the package, Zhan Zhixing interjected and said, “Looking at his flamboyant field marshal’s plate armor, you should know that there is something else, I guess it must be the envoy of another race from the alliance. But what’s the use of calling us over, isn’t it to go to the battlefield?”

“Sure enough, they are indeed the emissaries of a race.” Reginald handed the plate armor on the grass to Zhan Zhixing, and explained, “It is a brand new race, it is said that they come from the same planet as the orcs. The aircraft just landed on the Azuremyst Island in the west of the Black Coast, and they are reaching an alliance agreement with the top leaders of the alliance. It is said that their race believes in the holy light, and there is a pure holy light creature called ‘Naru’, the great lord Fording and The Duke of Bolvar has already rushed back. His Majesty asked me to call you two paladins as a show of respect. There is no need for Tailan. We will go to your house to change our plate armor in a while. I remember your collection. Is there a set of golden plate armor in here? Put that set on later.”

“Is that race… called Draenei?” Zhan Zhixing was stunned when he heard this, and turned to Reginald and asked.

“Eh… how do you know, maybe you have seen them before?” Reginald was surprised when he heard what his friend said, and then he thought about it, “They also use holy light, your holy light can’t be Let’s learn from them, hurry up, it’s getting late, let’s not keep the envoy waiting too long.”

As soon as Zhan Zhixing said something, he knew it was not good. Just as he was about to explain his words, his friend immediately made up his mind. At this moment, Zhan Zhixing was very grateful to Reginald for his powerful brain power. The different places, Reginald can perfectly fill in the brain, and it is completely 360 degrees without any leakage or dead angle. Zhan Zhixing, who was enjoying his success, naturally didn’t say much, packed up the standard plate armor, and rushed to his home with Reginald.

The reason why Varian asked Zhan Zhixing to meet the Draenei was naturally only because he was a paladin, and Zhan Zhixing knew it very well. I once revealed the future plot to a few people such as Varian and Duke Bolvar, and used “prophecy” as an excuse. There is no shortage of prophecies on the continent of Azeroth, but the accuracy is not particularly reliable, so Duke Bolvar and Varian naturally have no doubts. At that time, Zhan Zhixing had revealed some things about the Burning Crusade to Varian and the others, which naturally included the forced landing of the Draenei and the opening of the Dark Portal. Now that the forced landing of the Draenei has been confirmed, Zhan Zhixing was called to go there this time to prepare for the opening of the Dark Portal.

Reginald, who completely thought he had guessed the truth, was instantly full of curiosity about the Draenei, and kept asking while following Zhan Zhixing’s pace.

“The holy light of the Draenei must be very powerful, allowing you to use the holy light without even praying.”

“By the way, how did you know the draenei? Could it be that you met a draenei’s sister by chance and had a wonderful relationship or something, and then because of the strict family rules of the draenei, you had to separate Yin and Yang forever, before the girl died Give you the last holy light?”

“Or the draenei happened to encounter you falling off a cliff and died, and found that your skeleton was a big responsibility, so they will be better trained by the clan later?”

“Or…”

“…”

Zhan Zhixing felt that he must have had a brain twitch just now to thank Reginald for his brain power. If the brain is too big to make up for anything, it is a disaster, okay…

After walking a few steps, Zhan Zhixing suddenly found that Tai Lan didn’t keep up, but seemed to be standing still and thinking about something. Although he didn’t want to hide this boy who was thirty-four years old but still as pure as his younger brother, Zhan Zhixing still had to divert his thoughts, pretending to be nonchalant, turning his head and smiling and said to Tai Lan: “Taylan, hurry up, don’t keep the messengers waiting.”

“Understood, come here right away.” Tai Lan was stunned for a moment before realizing it. As for what he was thinking, only he knew.
