Chapter 4 Trial Day
Neither Duke nor Aurelia knew that just after they left, a third group of people found the wild boar.
"Isn't this the 'Prince'?" A servant let out a cry.
"Prince?" A young man dressed like an aristocrat let out a disdainful voice.
The servant immediately bowed his head: "Well, respectful master, that's just a nickname. The Blackwell family has a prize-winning pig named 'Princess'. This sow is huge and often sneaks into Stone Vegetables were stolen from Field’s farm! Sometime this princess fell in love with a bigger murderous wild boar, and three farmers have already died on this boar. So in the reward order, this boar His name is 'Prince'!"
Hearing this, the noble youth became interested.
"Huh? If I bring this 'Prince' back, won't it increase my reputation?"
The servants are all sycophants, and they immediately understood it.
The current king is a very wise man. In order to maintain the self-motivation of the nobles, he even established the iron law that the descendants of the nobles must have meritorious service to inherit their father's title.
It's a pity that there are policies and there are countermeasures. In this era without large-scale wars, people's lives are relatively stable, and there are not many thieves or robbers. The only thing that can be counted as the enemy of human beings is the wild beasts, monsters, and subhuman races all over the mountains and plains.
If human beings want to expand their territory of survival, they must seize territory from other creatures and open up new territories. Therefore, killing the monsters on the reward order can also be counted as meritorious service.
"That's right, that's right. Young Master, you used magic to kill this 'Prince' on the first-level reward order in the town, and you will definitely win the favor of the Viscount."
Seeing the servant so upbeat, the noble young man smiled complacently.
Duke had no idea of the series of events that happened behind him.
He is still struggling to survive. After finally crawling out of the slightly turbulent river, he was shocked to find that he had been rushed a long way.
Lying on the river beach, panting heavily, feeling the sunshine behind him.
The system suddenly said: "Dear host, this system wizard feels obliged to remind you. With your physique, the chance of catching a cold is 68.3%."
Duke bared his teeth and finally agreed.
Almost struggling to take off his burlap clothes, he collapsed on a relatively dry boulder by the river, and he collapsed on it like a dead dog.
Too bad, as expected, time travel is a combination of physical labor and technical work.
Such a primitive natural environment is indeed very difficult for a college animal who suffers from military training.
With a mess in his mind, Duke recalled everything in the world of Azeroth.
Suddenly he smiled wryly, complaining all day before crossing that he was reincarnated to **** and turned on the difficulty mode of hell. Compared with Azeroth, it doesn't even count as the gates of hell. There is such a saying-people in any war years seldom live beyond the age of 40.
Holding his forehead, Duke muttered to himself: "There is too little information. The only thing we can know is that if Aurelia is still there, then this should be a very early time in Azeroth. Because in Warcraft In the world, Alleria should have disappeared completely after encountering a siege after an expedition with Turalyon to Outland."
After finally regaining his breath, Duke stood up, put on his underwear again, looked around, and finally found what he was looking for—cooking smoke.
Where there's fire, there are humans...well, at least humanoids.
With hope and apprehension, Duke walked to the place where the cooking smoke rose in the distance.
Finally, half an hour later, Duke, who was going down the stream, found what he wanted—a human settlement.
Several four-story brick and wood buildings broke through the blockade of the tree canopy, proudly declaring to nature that there is human civilization here.
For some reason, Duke had the urge to cry when he saw the gabled roof, which was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary. At the very least, they found human towns, not ogre human flesh barbecue conferences.
With excitement, Duke quickened his pace. Soon he found a dirt road. The road was paved with gravel, leaving little room for anything other than grass. The feeling of walking on it is still not comparable to the sidewalk before crossing, but it is much better than the complex terrain in the forest where one foot is deep and the other is shallow.
Looking from a distance, a large area of trees has been cut down, leaving a large open space. The area near the forest is full of reclaimed cultivated land, and the central town of the cultivated land is bustling with people coming and going.
The eyes are full of farmhouses with Western European style, and a taller and larger building with a white background and black borders stands out among the farmhouses.
Colorful flags are hung everywhere on those quaint brick and wood houses, even the roofs of the thatched cottages have been replaced with fresh thatch, and there are noises and cheers everywhere.
Passing through the woods and the last section of the dirt road beside the town, Duke saw two smiling guards in front of the town. The armor they wear is based on silver with blue trim, and the breastplate and shield have the lion's coat of arms on a blue background and gold border.
This is a typical Stormwind guard who couldn't be more typical.
Different from the machine-polished, laser-engraved, one-piece stainless steel armor in the movie, not to mention the rough handmade armor in cosplay, the armor of the guards in front of him gave Duke an extremely real feeling.
Looking at the dense forest in front of him, Duke could only think of Elwynn Forest when it was related to Stormwind City. As the gateway near Stormwind City and the main settlement of the residents of the Stormwind Kingdom, this place should be relatively safe, as there are not many battles.
But what did Duke see?
Armor covered with large and small scars!
There are scratches, small holes from sharp objects, and bumps from blunt force blows, but the armor is still in good condition. Small pieces of rust were smoothed out, and large pieces of damage were filled with iron sheets and hammered into shape again. Coupled with the uneven tone of hand-carburized, a series of small details not only give the armor a supreme texture.
Also told Duke one thing - danger!
Even in the most peaceful Elwynn Forest in the game, there are still dangers that Duke doesn't know. For some reason, Duke thought of the beasts in the novice area and all kinds of monsters he looked down on back then...
Anyway, seeing them, Duke still breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh!"
In the world of Azeroth, there used to be a very powerful human empire Arathor. However, about 1200 years ago in the history of the game, the Arathor Empire split into seven small countries, namely: Lordaeron, Dalaran, Alterac, Kul Tiras, Gilneas, Stromgarde and Stormwind. The seven kingdoms.
Stormwind City is the novice area for all human players in the game.
Duke didn't know if the history here was the same, but it seemed that it was no different.
"Hey, little brother, are you also here to participate in the inauguration trial? It seems that you can't be a guard in Stormwind with your small body. Hahaha!" Seeing Duke, the guard on the left made a very blunt joke.
"Maybe he was born as a hunter, so he can become an archer?" The guard on the right also laughed.
"No, no, look at his white and tender palms, maybe he is a noble mage master! Hahaha!"
Duke didn't know what kind of job he could have, but he knew that if he didn't do anything, then in this world full of war and destruction, sooner or later he would be finished and turned into a ghoul.
But... Young master, no matter how downcast I am, it won't be your turn to make fun of me, two funny soldiers!
Just when Duke was about to punch these two guys desperately, an officer with blond eyebrows, a Chinese character, and a big sword on his waist came.
"Enough! Shut up, you two idiots."
Seeing their boss approaching, the two guards immediately shut up and stood at attention. A drop of cold sweat could be clearly seen dripping down their cheeks.
The legion turned to Duke with a gentle smile on his face: "The nobility of a person depends on whether you or your ancestors have ever contributed to the prosperity of mankind. It is certainly a good thing to be promoted to the elite class as a professional. If you fail, don't be discouraged, the prosperity of Stormwind City needs talents from all walks of life. Young man, do you think I'm right?"
"Uh, yes."
The officer held out his hand to Duke: "My name is Viri, deputy captain."
"Duke." Duke also reached out to shake hands with Veri, and then Duke's palm received 100 points of critical damage...
Dry! This guy has great hands!
"Okay, Duke, welcome to the Northshire Abbey Proving Grounds. I hope you can become a professional. I sincerely hope that human beings will have more elites."
Duke went in just like that.
Viri looked at Duke's back and touched his chin: "This young man is not made for a soldier."
