Chapter 532 Vanilla Era
Speaking of the Scarlet Monastery,
we have to talk about the Scarlet Crusade.
The history of the Scarlet Crusade in the background story of World of Warcraft is quite complicated. To put it simply, it is the last remnant of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and one of the branches of the Silver Hand. After the filial son Arthas caused the entire Nordaeron to fall, the Silver Hand was disbanded, and the fanatics among them formed the Scarlet Crusade.
But Nordaeron has always been under the control of the Burning Legion.
The Scarlet Crusade was undoubtedly targeted by the Burning Legion again. They were bewitched and used, and then went astray again.
The Scarlet Monastery is one of the four fortresses built by the fanatical Scarlet Crusade around the world.
This is a very famous dungeon. It is
also one of the earliest prototypes of the "World of Warcraft" dungeon group.
Later, in the most famous version of Warcraft, the Burning Crusade, this interlocking dungeon group design was widely used.
Yes.
The Scarlet Monastery is not a single dungeon, but consists of four areas, each of which constitutes an independent team dungeon.
Because the equipment inside is just at the level 40 stage, which is a link between the previous and the next, and can perfectly transition between the levels 30 and 40, plus the excellent design of the dungeon itself.
So in Lin Yao's previous life, this place was once a paradise for leveling in the minds of many people, and later it was also a paradise for many trumpets to level up.
Many people can brush here all day.
Many people's trumpets are also brought up here.
Including Lin Yao's own account.
In addition, the story of this dungeon group can be said to have too many elements...
There are patricide, adultery, revenge, sacrifice, and redemption...
Of course,
many of them are later stories.
For example, the revenge and redemption of the old Mograine, the Ashbringer, and the story of the young Mograine in the future.
Now for the players here.
What they care more about is how to pass this dungeon group.
Live broadcast room.
The anchor didn't know that Lin Yao was watching the live broadcast.
He led his teammates, and after getting ready, he officially entered the library dungeon on the right side of the Scarlet Monastery.
They were a team, with melee and pets rushing up.
So the fight was like a group fight...
It was quite interesting.
The anchor was already level 36, and his teammates were slightly lower than him, but not much lower.
In addition, the anchor seemed to have been in this dungeon before and looked very experienced.
After clearing the monsters along the way, they arrived at the corridor in front of the central courtyard.
The anchor immediately stopped the other teammates.
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't rush in. Shoot and lure them over and kill them one by one. Otherwise, it's easy to add."
"Here I come."
The hunter came to the door leading to the central courtyard and fired a shot to lure a 'bloody hero' over. Then he asked, "But captain, how are you so skilled? Have you been wiped out here before?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Fight quickly."
The anchor's mouth twitched. He didn't want to answer. He followed the other teammates and rushed over to surround the monsters. Then he explained:
"They are humanoid monsters, not undead. They will run away when their health is low. It's easy to attract more monsters while chasing them, so we have to lure them over."
As the anchor spoke, he hit the monster with an axe, which directly reduced the monster's health to a certain level: "-Look, it's running away! Chase it quickly."
The 'bloody hero' had reached the bottom of his health. He turned around and ran away regardless of the hatred.
The anchor quickly led his teammates to chase him and output.
Finally, he dealt with the opponent before he ran away.
"Linmu Studio always has a strange insistence on certain details."
The hunter complained in the black channel at this time.
The anchor smiled, responded, and then said: "Keep attracting monsters."
"Okay."
The hunter fired again and attracted a 'bloody hero'.
After the monsters in the courtyard were almost cleared.
The anchor began to charge and kill the monsters.
The monsters in the central courtyard were successfully solved, and then, led by the anchor, the group came to a small courtyard on the side.
"There is a small BOSS inside..." The anchor reminded.
"What are you waiting for, charge!"
The hunter rushed up without waiting for the anchor to finish.
The others had no choice but to rush in.
"Close the door and release the dogs!"
The hunter shot the BOSS from a distance.
The BOSS named 'Dog Tamer Roxy' shouted immediately.
Then the dogs around him rushed directly to the player.
The anchor rushed to attract hatred.
But because he was not prepared, he was still OT.
The three dogs chased the mage directly.
The mage was jumping around in the small courtyard, panicking.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! You idiots, I'm out of control! I'm going to die."
"Hold on! The BOSS itself is very weak, just kill the dogs after you kill it!"
"Hold on! I'm a mage."
"Hold on!"
"Fuck! I shouldn't have joined this team!"
"..."
In front of the screen.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yao rested her snow-white chin on Mu Wanqing's shoulder and couldn't help laughing.
This BOSS is also related to "Hearthstone Legend".
The card is called "Close the Door and Release the Hounds", and the effect is to summon a 1-1 charging hound for every enemy.
And this BOSS is also one of the four giants of the Scarlet Quest.
"How miserable."
In the dungeon.
The mage was almost chased to death by the hounds.
The whole small courtyard was a mess.
The hounds were running around everywhere.
Lin Yao hasn't seen such a scene for a long time.
After all, in her previous life's "World of Warcraft", like this kind of old dungeon, even in the nostalgic server, everyone has experience.
It is difficult to have such a chaotic situation after OT.
Even players who have seen similar scenes in person probably have a vague memory.
After all, it happened a long time ago.
...
Although the mage was almost bitten to death by three hounds.
But fortunately, this was just a small BOSS.
In the end, they still passed it safely.
But the mage was not in a good mood.
"I can't use this equipment, and it's not yours. Don't click on the demand, just click on greed."
The anchor shouted when he saw the equipment roll point system.
No one messed up.
Everyone clicked on greed.
Now, the World of Warcraft players here have their own set of unspoken rules for the equipment distribution system.
Even if Linmu Studio has never given any suggestions.
This is the players' own ability to adjust.
Of course, there are definitely bad apples. If a bunch of people agree to click on greed, and one person clicks on the demand, then even if 100 points are rolled out, the equipment will belong to the player who clicked the demand.
But the players' ability to adjust is also strong. I believe that most players will know what to do when facing a player who makes the whole team distrustful.
Everyone started to roll points.
In the end, the mage had the highest points.
He was happy again, although he couldn't wear this equipment.
But what he wanted was the feeling of having this kind of equipment, the emperor of luck!
The group regrouped and began to continue to advance into the dungeon.
They became more and more skilled.
But not fast.
Pull a small monster, and then they have to fight for about two minutes.
But at least it's safe.
The team fought all the way and pushed forward to the depths of the library, and finally saw the boss of the final level - the arcane mage Duan.
The melee immediately rushed forward.
"The boss will silence the group and self-destruct. If it is
silenced, use a basic attack. If it self-destructs, run to the door and hide first." The anchor reminded him in the interval.
Not long after the reminder.
[Burn in the flames of justice! ]
The boss suddenly roared.
Several people immediately turned around and ran.
They ran behind the door in an orderly manner, avoided the self-destruction, and then turned around and rushed back again, surrounding the boss again.
After a while, they successfully dealt with the boss.
"Staff! Phantom Staff!"
When the equipment roll came out, the mage immediately exclaimed, and then said: "I can use this!"
"You click the demand, and others can give up or click greed."
The anchor replied.
The staff fell into the hands of the mage smoothly.
"Shall we continue?"
On the other side.
The anchor picked up the key behind the boss and asked for the opinions of others.
"Is the difficulty of the later dungeons the same as this one?" Others hesitated.
"It's a little harder than this one, but it's a warrior's paradise. I asked a few friends, and they said that the equipment dropped by the final boss is the graduation equipment of the warrior department."
"Okay, let's try it!"
Several melee fighters were instantly tempted and responded immediately.
The mage had just got the equipment and agreed very happily.
Seeing that no one objected, the anchor led a group of people to return to the dungeon, arrived in front of the wooden door on the right, and then walked into the armory dungeon of the Scarlet Monastery.
This dungeon is similar to the library. There is a courtyard not far from the entrance.
But this time, the anchor changed his way of playing.
"Don't attract monsters this time, it's too slow. Walk close to the wall to minimize the number of enemies you encounter. Let's kill the boss first and see if there is any good equipment."
The anchor shouted, and then the group began to move forward.
This really reduced the number of monsters encountered.
After a while, the group quickly ran to the boss room.
Looking at the BOSS below from a distance.
"The mage should stand on top, we will go down for melee combat, and you can deal damage from above."
The anchor looked at the terrain, recalled the strategy he had read, and then led the melee combat to jump down from above.
The mage stayed on top to deal damage alone.
The BOSS this time, named 'Warrior Herod', is a typical melee BOSS that can only fight in close combat.
After the warrior attracts his hatred,
the mage can almost output without restraint.
The only thing to pay attention to is when the boss shouts 'Blade of Light' and transforms into the second form of the warrior, a small spinning top.
At this time, you must leave his vicinity.
And the anchor does not need to remind you of this.
When the others saw the BOSS transform into a small spinning top and spin in circles, they immediately left the BOSS.
Very tacit.
Then.
The BOSS also looked stupid, just spinning in circles in the same place.
After people left, it was still spinning in the same place.
The scene became weird.
Several melee fighters stayed away from the BOSS and stood aside and watched.
Even if there were no enemies in front of the boss, it would still spin in circles in the same place.
"Did Linmu Studio miscalculate this boss? It feels so stupid." The hunter looked at the boss and laughed.
"This is not a miscalculation. I'm just giving the players face. If they can really chase us quickly, we will probably be killed. The damage is quite high..."
The anchor responded, and then rushed up again after the boss stopped spinning.
The group did this. If the boss spun around, they ran away, and if it didn't, they fought...
They also defeated the boss very smoothly.
Ding.
Along with the prompt of the boss's death,
the equipment roll point system also appeared.
This time it was an axe.
The moment I saw the attributes clearly.
"Fuck! It really exploded!"
The anchor immediately exclaimed, excited and excited.
"What?" The hunter asked curiously.
"The boss's two-handed axe, the destroyer, the effect... Those who can't equip it, give up or click greed. If I can get it, I will show you later."
The anchor said directly.
The person who couldn't equip it clicked greed.
After rolling the points.
The anchor was lucky and successfully got the destroyer.
He excitedly said "Yeah", it was enough level, so he equipped it directly.
Then he led the team members and walked back along the stairs to where they had just come from.
After the boss fell to the ground.
Suddenly, a bunch of monsters came out of the door.
"Let me do it!"
The anchor yelled, then he charged to attract the monsters and started to attack.
As he attacked ,
he suddenly started to spin like a top, just like the boss.
"This is the special effect of the destroyer, just like the boss!"
The anchor circled in place to attack the monsters, and said happily: "If you hit it, you may swing your weapon like a whirlwind... I see that many top guilds who come to "World of Warcraft" want to get this axe, but we didn't expect it to fall off the first time we hit it. Look! Am I awesome?"
"Awesome, awesome."
The others shouted awesome in a very respectful way.
Only the priest reminded quietly: "Captain, you are out of blood."
"Fuck! Then why don't you add blood? Why don't you come to help?"
The anchor looked at his blood bar and immediately panicked.
"I said I asked you to come."
"So you are just watching from the side, right?"
"Hahaha..."
The others heard the anchor's words and immediately laughed.
Then they killed four small monsters!
Then,
they discussed again and
decided to continue pushing forward and head to the Scarlet Cathedral
to kill the last boss.
Anyway, they have already reached this point.
They have come here.
Even if they don’t know whether they can beat it later, they have to try.
The way to fight the Cathedral
is still the same. They also clean up the small monsters along the way.
But this time it is slower.
It takes longer and longer to clean up a small monster
. They don’t even dare to attract two monsters at the same time. They
are afraid of being wiped out
. They advance with difficulty.
Along the map, they move forward carefully along the wall.
Soon,
the group cleaned up the cathedral garden.
"It looks so beautiful."
The group came to the center of the cathedral garden and looked at the center of the map. They couldn't help but stop.
"Yes, the art of Linmu Studio is really awesome! Even in a copy, you can see that they put their heart into it."
"Yes."
"..."
Lin Yao watched the live broadcast and heard what they said, and couldn't help but smile happily.
There are not many people watching this live broadcast room.
Occasionally, a few real-time comments will pop up to ask for details.
Lin Yao believed that they sincerely thought that Linmu Studio was awesome,
so they were very happy.
On the other side,
after all, they were playing games, not enjoying the scenery.
Soon,
the team continued to move forward, all the way up, and came to the "Crusader Chapel".
Pushing open the door of the chapel.
At the end of the chapel.
The final BOSS of the dungeon, "Commander Mograine", stood quietly, the hatred was not triggered, and there was no movement.
And the first time.
After the anchor cleared the monsters at the door, he went directly to open the boss Commander Mograine.
Then, Commander Mograine entered the battle, and came up with a sentence "Invaders entered the church, destroy them!"
Then.
The boss didn't even make a move.
The other monsters inside the chapel rushed up in a swarm.
The team was directly wiped out!
The anchor and others began to curse.
They didn't expect that there would be this...
In front of the screen.
Lin Yao was also amused.
In fact, she just wanted to post a real-time comment to remind them.
But in the end, she held back.
It's best to let the players figure out the rules themselves.
After all, she died the same way back then... Let the players try.
Seeing that they seemed unwilling to give up, Lin Yao chose to continue fighting, and was very patient, and did not turn off the live broadcast.
She patiently waited for them to push in front of Commander Mograine.
Waiting for the famous line to sound.
The anchor regrouped, and then this time they entered the chapel and learned to be smart.
They ran around the chapel where the boss Commander Mograine was, clearing the monsters one by one until they were sure that the monsters were all cleared.
Then they came to the boss Mograine and started the boss battle.
This time.
No monsters disturbed them from killing the boss.
Although it was slow, and although the main tank died once, in the end, they successfully killed the second most filial son of Lordaeron - Commander Mograine.
And Commander Mograine had just fallen to the ground.
Behind him.
The door was suddenly pushed open.
[Mograine fell! ? You will pay the price for this! ]
A new boss named 'High Inquisitor Whitemane' ran out.
Second round!
"Fuck! There's a second phase!"
This change was obviously beyond the expectations of the anchor team in the live broadcast room.
But there was no other way.
They could only fight.
Fortunately,
this boss was about the same strength as Commander Mograine, and soon.
The anchor team beat it to half health.
But before they could get excited.
'High Inquisitor Whitemane' directly put a group of people to sleep, so that they stopped attacking.
Then he ran to the commander Mograine who had just been killed and released the resurrection spell.
The anchor team watched the boss they had just killed stand up again.
"Resurrect, my warrior!"
"Fight for you, my lady!"
The two shouted the famous lines.
Then they began to fight side by side.
Fighting the heroes...
"Fuck! Are you dogs!?"
The anchor's mouth twitched: "I just killed it!"
"Yeah, dogs and bitches..." The hunter responded.
But complaining was useless.
The average level of their team was still a little low. It was a bit difficult to fight two bosses... The health bar began to drop rapidly.
Seeing this, Lin Yao pursed her lips slightly, but still couldn't help laughing: "Haha..."
Mu Wanqing seemed a little confused and tilted her head slightly.
Lin Yao knew that Mu Wanqing was confused, so she smiled and explained: "Do you know the background story of this copy?"
"...I don't know."
"The BOSS of this copy, Commander Mograine, is the son of the great lord. He was shrouded in the halo of his father since he was born. He was competitive and always felt that he could succeed his father.
But his father did not approve of his performance, found fault with him everywhere, and often scolded him in public. Mograine, who had a strong self-esteem, did not understand his father's intentions, and the seeds of hatred were planted in his heart...
In addition, he also had a childhood sweetheart named Whitemane. Nuo, who was the BOSS who just came out. The two fell in love when they grew up, but their love still did not get the support of his father, because old Mograine believed that his son must abide by the doctrine of the Paladin."
Lin Yao put his arm around Mu Wanqing's waist, shook his head gently, and continued:
"All this disapproval made Mograine hate his father! He was jealous, resentful, and in pain... Then he was bewitched by the Scourge and chose to betray his father, stabbing his father in the back with his own hands.
Then, he became the commander of the Scarlet Crusade, and his lover Whitemane was able to take over the position of High Inquisitor because the previous prosecutor was infected by the plague. This is the cause and effect of the two appearing together in the Scarlet Monastery."
"Then there's no need to laugh at this, right? It's obviously... a very helpless story."
Mu Wanqing was even more puzzled.
Lin Yao rubbed her shoulder with her chin, without explaining.
Because they still have a follow-up story.
Later, Mograine's younger brother defeated and resurrected old Mograine, and took back the famous Grand Crusader Sword in World of Warcraft - 'Ashebringer'.
In order to redeem his father's soul, Mograine's younger brother took 'Ashebringer' to the Scarlet Monastery.
When the player carries 'Ashebringer' on his back and walks back into the Scarlet Monastery.
You can see a plot.
The originally hostile Scarlet Crusaders all knelt down to salute.
Even the boss Mograine knelt down after seeing the 'Ashebringer'.
After that, the soul of old Mograine appeared, and he personally dealt with his son who had betrayed him, leaving only one sentence - "I forgive you."
So far.
The story of the Scarlet Monastery... has ended.
In the later "World of Warcraft" plot, the "Fallen Ashbringer" disappeared, and the related purification quest line ended badly.
The entire series of plots has been changed and updated.
The biggest change is that the Scarlet Monastery copy is still there, but the boss Mograine is dead, so the boss can only be replaced by Commander Durand.
Subsequent players go to brush this copy.
After defeating the previous boss.
Whitemane will still come out and say "Resurrect my warriors."
But the new boss Durand will no longer say "Fight for you my lady."
Because the new boss Durand is not Mograine.
They are just tools to maintain the copy.
So this conversation is not only a copy of the line, but also represents an old time, a player's memory...
Lin Yao didn't know how to explain this to Mu Wanqing.
At this time.
On the screen.
The anchor team barely stabilized their position and finally killed two bosses.
Finally.
The defeated Whitemane called out the name of his sweetheart with resentment.
"Mograine..."
Lin Yao was attracted and looked at the screen again. She felt as if the old days had come back.
She smiled again.
Why did she smile...
maybe it was because she missed the old days.
Lin Yao gently rubbed Mu Wanqing's shoulder with her chin again, feeling a little happy.
As the mobile phone project progresses.
Lin Yao has a hunch.
"World of Warcraft" may be the last phenomenal online game...
Looking at the happy anchors and players in the live broadcast room.
Lin Yao thinks that using this game to end the glorious era of terminal games.
Maybe... not bad!
Before "The Burning Crusade", the first official version of "World of Warcraft" did not have a version name.
It was officially determined that each version has a theme, starting from "The Burning Crusade".
But among the player community, the first official version of "World of Warcraft" has a special title, called the Vanilla Era.
It means a beautiful first love.
... A little late, sorry.
The main reason is that I was unlucky during this National Day. On the 30th, the air conditioner broke down, on the 1st, the sewer was blocked, and the legs of the chair broke that night. Today... the light exploded in front of me, and none of the lights can be turned on.
I sat in the dark, typing on a chair with a broken leg... the screen would occasionally make a popping sound.
I am lucky to be able to type this chapter...
the screen will explode later, which will be even more fun... although it is highly unlikely.
(End of this chapter)
