Chapter 51 Silverpine Forest
He dragged his feet, as if time meant nothing to him.
"Time is money, my friend..."
......
Back then, internet access cost about two yuan per hour, and a game card cost 29 yuan, which only gave you 4000 minutes of game time.
If this is your first time activating an account, you will only have 2000 minutes of game time.
Back then, high school boys usually relied on their parents for living expenses.
Luo Lin is a child from an ordinary family. He only has 10 yuan a day, which includes transportation and food expenses.
He scrimped and saved, lied to adults, and sold scrap paper, scrap metal, and broken water bottles just to earn enough for internet fees and game cards...
......
Back in the day, Rowling and his classmates cherished every moment they logged into World of Warcraft.
Every second counts when completing tasks or exploring the unknown...
Upon arriving in a new place, he eagerly explores everything, like a country bumpkin in the city. He's incredibly enthusiastic about completing tasks, carefully analyzing the quest descriptions, checking the map, and challenging himself to collect various items.
I often encounter accidents, turning into a spirit to collect corpses, leaving behind countless small tombstones and skeletons along the way...
Even if you can only play for one or two hours each time, and you have to wait in line for tens of minutes, it's still an unforgettable experience.
Full of energy!
......
After I started working and was finally able to afford the game cards, my friends had all gone their separate ways...
Gradually, the passion for exploration faded, and the details of the missions became irrelevant; all that remained was killing...
A peculiar feeling gradually faded away.
It's a pity, something that can't be explained or described.
......
Even if he were to lose his sight now, Roland probably wouldn't care at all.
Looking at his student who was always clueless in certain areas, the teacher really wanted to give him a good scolding.
Even if the Forgotten truly possess endless lifespans and bodies impervious to death, they shouldn't waste their time trying to earn a little money...
My personal life and death are nothing to me, I'm just a wisp of a soul anyway...
But you're different.
......
Lorraine, you are the disciple chosen by the great guardian of magic, Aegwynn. You bear the mission of stopping the demons and the Scourge. Your future is limitless, while I am just a poor chatterbox!
......
"Teacher, are you jealous?"
"Nonsense, I'm just afraid you'll ruin your account."
To his surprise, the young apprentice Lorraine discovered that he could now hear his teacher's thoughts without even realizing it!
Now things are much better. The "rift" between master and disciple doesn't seem so obvious anymore, and their status seems more equal!
......
He wouldn't make his teacher suffer for a single gold coin.
He wanted to liberate teachers from his own body, freeing them from being controlled by anyone.
Although this idea might be difficult to realize when facing a powerful demon...
However, touching the tidal amulet pendant swaying with his steps in his chest, he recalled the words of the merman chieftain.
If I could become that necromancer feared even by the gods, it wouldn't be impossible...
......
Following the road along Lake Lordaeron, Lorraine soon reached the Silverpine Forest.
Along the way, there were often guys riding Dark Night Bats flying overhead.
The teacher told Lorraine that as long as he could reach Thurbercher...
Go to the flight administrator to register.
Next time, he can ride a Forsaken Night Bat or a wyvern and quickly traverse the Horde territories of the Eastern Kingdoms.
Alternatively, if you have enough military merits and gold, you can consider returning to Brill to buy a skeleton horse as a mount.
Running on two legs is really not fast.
......
Having a mount is certainly much better. Back then, my teacher's favorite mount was the highest battle reward from the Frostwolf Clan in Alterac Valley.
The snow-white giant wolf native to Frostfire Rift in Draenor: [Frostwolf Howler] This giant wolf has spiked shackles around its neck; once you blow its horn, it will assist you in wreaking havoc...
However, to acquire Frostwolf Clan membership, one must reach Exalted reputation with the Frostwolf Clan.
You also need to achieve enough military merits.
If you really want a mount early on, it's best to buy a pony from Brill first...
......
"A pony costs about 80 gold coins, while an undead skeleton warhorse costs 1000 gold coins."
"Basic riding skill costs 5 gold coins, intermediate riding skill costs 20 gold coins."
"If your reputation with Undercity reaches Exalted, you'll get a 20% discount; those with the rank of Sergeant or higher will receive an additional discount..."
The teacher seemed very excited when talking about mounts and riding skills.
......
A mount only has value if it has been tested on the ability to walk on two legs.
Only by trying it out and only being able to ride a small horse can one truly appreciate the value of a thousand-gold horse.
Only flying in special places can be called an experience and exploration.
Only when you go back and forth, chase and pursue, and knock someone off their horse can it be called a battle!
"Unfortunately, some idiot designers don't understand..." (This only represents Luo Lin's personal opinion...)
......
The teacher is just reminiscing again...
.......
The apprentice thought riding a giant white wolf as big as a carriage would be incredibly cool.
The already incredibly cool Forsaken archmage rides his frostwolf across deserts, mountains, lakes, and the stars of Outland...
Or riding a skeleton horse that's just a skeleton would be pretty good too...
......
However, Lorraine, who used to consider herself very wealthy, couldn't help but twitch her lips after touching the less than three gold coins in her pocket:
"Eighty gold coins is too expensive..."
......
As they continued forward, away from Undercity, the number of Forsaken soldiers patrolling the roads decreased.
Unlike Deathstroke, Brill, and Undercity, which are the Forsaken's main rear areas.
Silverpine Forest is located to the left of Tirisfal Glades.
Separated by mountain ranges.
Heading south along the coast, you'll reach Thurbercher.
That was the Forsaken's air base and frontline outpost...
It's actually a cemetery. It contains the remains of many former Lordaeron citizens...
......
Further ahead lies the war front, bordering the human settlements of Pyrewood Village and Shadowfang Keep.
This is the front line of the Kingdom of Gilneas, one of the seven kingdoms protected by humankind, hidden in the bay.
Gilneas has now erected high walls, closing off the bay and prohibiting all personnel from entering or leaving.
The Alliance and the Horde don't interact, so their internal situation remains unknown...
......
After walking for several hours, Lorraine discovered that there were large farms in the area around Thurbercher, from the valley to the sea on the left.
Due to the different climate, fruit trees are mostly grown here.
Black wolves and brown bears are frequently seen roaming the forest, some of them even being zombie bears infected with the plague...
......
Because of the heavy sea air near the shore, a lake as bright as a mirror forms in the middle of the silver pine forest.
......
Lordaeron is located north of Undercity and south of Alterac Valley, with Dalaran once situated on its southern shore.
To the east lies the Silverpine Forest Avenue, bordering Lorraine, and to the west lies Darrowshire, once a very prosperous region in the Western Plaguelands.
This lake is large enough to be formed from the snowmelt that accumulates year-round in the Alterac Valley.
There are also large groups of murloc tribes living on the shore. The location where the murloc chieftain teleported me from Deathstroke Town was close to the lakeside of Undercity.
In the middle of the lake lies a small island called Fenris Island, which contains a magnificent castle. To reach it, one must either swim or take a boat...
.......
Lorraine never expected that she would end up back where she started...
The water's edge is always the fish-men's happy home, where they move and play freely like little water sprites.
However, it seems that the merfolk by Lake Lordamere have also been infected and cursed.
When I was teleported to the fishman's side, I was almost torn to pieces.
They were clearly more ferocious than the dark tide tribes by the sea.
......
The teacher advised his apprentice to avoid getting close to the water as much as possible.
The water here has been polluted...
The apprentice, however, believed that if any foolish monster dared to provoke him, he wouldn't mind storing some of his soul for future use.
......
Besides, the Tide Charm can subdue the Murloc tribe, and we might even need to use these seemingly ferocious guys!
.......
Lorraine was quite excited as he trekked through Silverpine Forest alone, as he was originally a resident of Stormwind Kingdom.
The scenery in the Northland is very different from that in the western wilderness. Although it is similar to Tirisfal Glades, it is also shrouded in rain and mist.
The ground was black, scorched earth, and the forest was bitterly cold...
The enormous pine trees also had black needles; those who didn't know the reason might have thought they'd been splashed with ink... But Rowling, who understood the cause, knew it was the erosion brought on by death and plague...
......
The further they went, the more black wolves appeared in the woods.
There were also many ghouls roaming around the farm; they moved swiftly.
Even if a black wolf gets close, it will be torn to pieces.
The black wolf that miraculously survived the bite also began to slowly transform into a zombie wolf...
Wolves and bears don't welcome uninvited guests, and zombies and ghouls exterminate all living things. Lorraine unleashed an ice arrow, dispatching several ghouls that had crossed the line.
He discovered that these guys were indeed much stronger than the undead monsters of Brill and Deathstroke.
......
He had clearly become much stronger and even changed his weapon.
It will take some time to completely eliminate a ghoul, and you may even have to use the teleportation spell you just learned.
The Flash rune was a prize from the pro player Aegwynn.
Without the teacher's prompting, Lorraine had already begun trying to learn how to use it.
.....
Teleportation is an arcane spacetime magic spell. It only requires infusing magic power, channeling arcane energy throughout the body. It's like being pushed hard from behind, instantly appearing eight yards in front of you.
Only a faint afterimage dissipated from the spot, accompanied by a wisp of arcane energy dissipating...
......
When surrounded by several black wolves, Frost Nova freezes the target, teleports to a distance, and then releases Frostbolt to slow down the attack.
This completes the standard procedure for the ice-washing magician.
Now all that's missing are Ice Spike and Ice Lance.
Then, apply the Ice Protection skill.
Ice Armor.
A standard ice mage capable of endlessly kiting warriors is now complete...
