The sudden collapse of the priestess girl startled everyone, but fortunately after checking, they found that she was just too tired and exhausted, and it was nothing serious. Clark immediately arranged for someone to send the priestess girl to rest, and he also prepared a room for Fang Zheng... After all, he was a great benefactor of Tianshui Town, so of course he had to treat her well.
Fang Zheng also took this opportunity to make an unwelcome request to Clark. He hoped that Clark could help him collect the spirit crystals from the black wolves. Clark agreed without hesitation. Hunters like them would occasionally go to the mountains to hunt some low-level monsters, and then dig out the spirit crystals to sell for money. They were already familiar with this process, so after hearing Fang Zheng's request, they immediately patted their chests and said that they would leave this matter to him personally, and guaranteed that no one would dare to embezzle Fang Zheng's spirit crystals.
Clark was still very fast. It didn't take him long to give all the spirit crystals he dug out from the black wolf's body to Fang Zheng. Unfortunately, the quality of these spirit crystals was very average. Except for the spirit crystal of the wolf leader, which could bring Fang Zheng 20 points of crystal energy, the other spirit crystals were only worth one or two points of crystal energy. Moreover, not every monster had them. In the end, Fang Zheng only gained 50 points of crystal energy. Although it was a little less, it was better than nothing.
Out of boredom, Fang Zheng began to curiously ask Clark about a very important matter.
Where on earth is this?
"This is the territory of the Northern Alliance... Uh, Mr. Fang Zheng, don't you know?"
Clark was obviously a little surprised when he heard Fang Zheng's question, but he still answered Fang Zheng's question honestly. But then he also carefully expressed his doubts. You know, Tianshui Town is at the border of the Northern Alliance. How did this gentleman get here?
"Hey, don't mention it."
It would have been fine if Clark didn't ask, but as soon as he did, Fang Zheng looked embarrassed.
"My teleportation spell went wrong. I don't know how it got me here... I walked in the wilderness for two days before I got out. But then again, what on earth is going on here? I walked in the mountains for two days and didn't see a single animal, and there were those black wolves... I remember that Warcraft rarely appear in civilized territories, right?"
"It seems that your luck is really bad."
After learning the reason why Fang Zheng was here, Clark stared at him with a twisted mouth and a complicated expression.
"You may not know yet, but now is the beast disaster season..."
After Clark's explanation, Fang Zheng finally understood why he said he was unlucky.
The Northern Alliance is located in the north, close to the Twilight Border, and there is a beast disaster here every year. The reason is actually very simple. Magic beasts are wild beasts contaminated by the magic of chaos, and many of them have the instinct to migrate. They may act according to instinct, or they may be threatened by those powerful magic beasts. Every winter, they will attack the heartland of human civilization.
The Northern Alliance was naturally the first target of these monsters. Although they blocked most of the monsters' attacks with the help of natural barriers and fortresses at the pass, there were always fish that slipped through the net in such a large forest. These black wolves were probably the "fish" that took advantage of the chaos to sneak in.
However, when talking about this attack, Clark frowned and looked gloomy.
"To be honest, I'm very worried. We used to encounter beast disasters every winter, but this year's disaster seems to have come especially early. Moreover, these monsters appeared too quickly. Logically speaking, even if there are some that slip through the net every year, they usually appear after the third snowfall. But now, the first snow has just ended, and they have appeared here. I'm really worried that something has happened at the border fortress..."
Clark was also depressed. As he said, the beast disaster has not been going on for more than one or two years. Since he was born, these monsters would try to attack the hinterland of civilization every winter when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow. But all this basically has a pattern to be found. Although Tianshui Town is close to the border, it is actually quite far from the border. They usually pack up before the first snow, and then pack up and leave when the first snow is over, because the mountains are blocked by heavy snow at this time, and the beasts in the mountains have already run away because of the threat of monsters, so there is no danger. If it is a few days later, the river will be completely frozen, and it will not be so easy to leave at that time.
But this time, the monster...came a little too fast.
But Clark had a sad face, while Fang Zheng's eyes lit up more and more as he listened.
Countless monsters?
The plague of Warcraft?
Oh my god! How many spirit crystals is that? How much small change?
How many ten-draw five treasures can I draw? !
Fang Zheng's biggest headache now is that there are too few dimensional points, but there is nothing he can do about it, because he only made the main framework of the game, and the copies are not his responsibility. He doesn't know how this "Dimension Code" connects to those strange worlds. What makes Fang Zheng even more upset is that the dimensional points given in each copy are super few!
You have to know that when Fang Zheng designed the game, it was a mobile game. In a mobile game, there must be at least a dozen levels in a chapter. Players can at least accumulate enough resources for a ten-draw after clearing a chapter. But for some reason, after coming to this world, Fang Zheng traveled to those "dungeons", and the "Dimension Code" was very stingy, basically giving a main quest, and occasionally triggering a side quest, which might not even include dimensional points.
This made Fang Zheng very depressed. He now regretted that he should have adjusted the dimensional points to 999999, even if it was just for an experiment.
Now that's good, the dimensional points he can get in each copy are really limited. Although he has also gained a lot of benefits, after all, for Fang Zheng, the soul stone is the core.
Not to mention that he still lacks a big move! [Arthas] and [Kerrigan] are both shameful, and now Fang Zheng only hopes that he can summon a real angel next time. In this way, whether he is going to cheat or fight against the boss, he will still have some confidence. It won't be like the previous time when he faced the Lich Lord, where he was almost forced to have nowhere to escape and could only rely on luck.
Now Fang Zheng has determined his own route. The dungeons are used to brush equipment and skills. As for dimensional points...looking at the nature of the system, I might as well rely on myself to earn points instead of relying on tasks!
And now, the front line is in a time of crisis for the party and the country, and it is a time of need for manpower. As a guardian knight of the temple, I must devote my life to the cause and die for it... Forget this.
But no matter what, I absolutely cannot let go of such a large amount of small change!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng had already made a decision deep in his heart.
Go to the Fortress of Order and earn money!
Fang Zheng made this decision not just for the sake of money. As a member of the Holy Temple, he knew very well that most of the dusk border fortresses were the territories of the Holy Kingdom. This was a bit similar to the overseas enclaves of Hawaii on the Bald Eagle on Earth. Although this seemed to infringe on the territorial sovereignty of other countries, in fact, just like the small countries on Earth were eager for the military bases of big countries to be stationed there, the border fortresses of the Holy Kingdom were the same, and were even more popular with those small countries.
Because the enemy of the fortress built by the Holy Kingdom is not human, but Chaos monsters. And those small countries certainly do not have enough manpower and material resources to build such a fortress to protect their own safety. Now that the Holy Kingdom is willing to help, they are naturally very grateful. Not to mention that the army of the Holy Kingdom is well-ordered, which is many times higher than those so-called British and American monsters. At least for Malte and Stone, who Fang Zheng has met, their ideological awareness is definitely "serving the people". From this, it can be seen that the reputation of the Holy Kingdom in this regard is also better than that of other major countries.
Just look at the priestess who fainted from exhaustion before. She had never met the people here before and was not very old, yet she was willing to fight alongside them. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Fang Zheng had to admit that this temple was indeed different from those he had seen in novels.
Of course, there are bad apples, such as Connie... But it's okay this way, at least it proves that the Temple is a mortal force, and the people inside are still human. If everyone in an organization has extremely high ideological awareness and can be regarded as a model party member, then Fang Zheng would really doubt whether this Temple is controlling its members through brainwashing or something like that.
After all, it is acceptable if most of a force are good people, but it would be terrifying if they were all good people.
After learning about the situation from Clark, Fang Zheng decided to rest here for a night and then go to the Order Fortress. In addition to earning money, he also reported back to the organization. Fang Zheng was a little curious about this. He hadn't shown up for more than half a year. Would Shi Dong and the others really report him as dead?
After learning of Fang Zheng's decision, Clark tried to dissuade him, but seeing Fang Zheng's determination, he stopped talking. However, as their savior, Clark certainly would not neglect Fang Zheng. He gave Fang Zheng the best carriage in Tianshui Town, and Fang Zheng gladly accepted it. The Order Fortress was still several days away from Tianshui Town, and if he had to rely on his own two feet, he would probably be exhausted. Now that he had a carriage to travel, it was of course what Fang Zheng wanted.
However, what Fang Zheng did not expect was that the priestess girl actually took the initiative to find him, hoping to go with him to the Order Fortress. Fang Zheng was a little surprised by this, but he nodded and agreed without thinking too much. After all, the two of them were colleagues, and it would be good for them to take care of each other along the way.
Just like that, after resting for a night in Tianshui Town, Fang Zheng and the priestess girl set out on their journey to the Order Fortress.
