I don't know how long it was, it could be tens of minutes, it could be hours, it could be a day or two......

Zhang Cheng only felt as if he had a long, incredible dream.

In his dream, he became a young man named Risson, who was sent by his aristocratic father to the Magic Kingdom of Dalaran at a very young age to learn esoteric mysteries, and even met many famous figures such as Arthas Minethiel, Gianna Proudmoor, and Kael'thas Sunstrider.

Normally, a young man with a bright future like this will inevitably easily step into high society in the future and become the pride of heaven in the eyes of others.

Unfortunately, with the outbreak of the Plague of Natural Disasters, Prince Arthas fell from a paladin to a death knight, and led an army of undead to raid Dalaran, stealing the Book of Medivan, and then summoning Akmund the Polluter, completely destroying this miraculous magical city.

The horrific catastrophe and successive changes not only destroyed Dalaran, but also destroyed something that Risen once believed in his heart.

In the end, disheartened, he chose to silently come to the Hillsbrad Hills, live a semi-secluded life, completely cut off contact with the outside world, and only swallowed his last breath not long ago.

I have to say that this memory is so real that it seems that he has lived for another lifetime as Risen as a person, especially the overwhelming army of the undead, as well as the power of the polluter Akmund to destroy the world, which makes Zhang Cheng's soul tremble.

Eventually, with a cold death, his consciousness finally returned to himself, no longer affected by Ressen's memories, and only a small part of his esoteric and complex magical knowledge and incredible magical abilities were preserved.

Fireball, Arcane Wisdom, Frost Armor, Ice Arrow, Water Formation, Foodmaking, Fire Blast, Arcane Missile, Transfiguration, Frost Nova, Magic Suppression, Slow Fall, Magic Explosion, Firestorm, Detect Magic, Remove Secondary Curses, Mana Amplification, Flame Defense, Blizzard, Teleportation, Mana Shield, Ice Pick, ......

The names of spells that were both familiar and unfamiliar made Zhang Cheng understand that he was no longer an ordinary person, but a mage from Azeroth, and according to the skills corresponding to the level in the game, he should be between level twenty and thirty at the moment.

Of course, compared to the role played by the player in the game, he is missing the most crucial part - talent!

You must know that whether it is arcane, fire, or frost talents, they can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of mages.

In particular, the Ice Barrier and Ice Protector in the Frost talent are simply the best choice to save their lives at critical moments, otherwise there would not be so many mage players in the game who choose Frost instead of Arcane and Fire talents.

"Damn! my head hurts!"

Zhang Cheng rubbed his temples vigorously, struggled to get up from the ground, and shook the dirt and weeds off his body.

Through Risen memory, he now knows exactly where he is, the area in the game known as the Hillsbrad Hills.

As one of the main places of human habitation, the fertile land, abundant rain, and convenient marine docks have made the local business and agriculture quite developed, and you only need to walk south for three to five days along the right-hand side path to reach the famous Nanhai Town.

But before that, there is a trip to Risson's secluded cabin to receive the young mage's legacy after his death.

After all, the class template only gives a mage the most basic combat abilities, but the mages of Azeroth don't just fight, they are good at researching, learning, discovering, and creating.

If he wants to become a complete mage, Zhang Cheng must learn all the theories related to magic from scratch like a real apprentice, and make full use of all the methods at his disposal to gain power, rather than relying on a simple castration game class template.

Knowing this, he quickly took advantage of the setting sun in the evening, and then walked straight to the crooked forest path to the west, ready to reach Ryson's secluded hut before the sun set.

Otherwise, once the sky gets dark, the wild will be filled with all kinds of ferocious beasts, such as mountain lions, grizzly bears, moss-eating spiders, etc., and if enough lackeys are unlucky, they may encounter the undead who call themselves "Forsaken".

Although these guys broke away from the Scourge and joined the tribal camp led by the orc Great Chief Thrall, their evil nature has not changed in the slightest.

Even without Risen memory, Zhang Cheng would never forget how many heart-wrenching perverted missions he took on in Tarummere when he played the necromancer in the game.

It may be fun to manipulate an evil character in a game, but in a real world, no normal person can accept what the Forsaken does.

Anyway, if an undead creature suddenly appears now, he dares to guarantee that he will use the fireball technique to greet him warmly as soon as possible, and try to kill it quickly before the other party reacts.

Filled with vigilance for the unfamiliar environment, Zhang Cheng finally saw the wooden hut towering at the foot of the mountain before the last rays of the sun disappeared.

From a distance, the hut is not very large, covering an area of about forty square meters, but I don't know if it is to defend against the attack of wild beasts, or for some other reason, the first layer connected to the ground is only a pile of wooden stakes as a supporting structure, and the real living area is on the second floor about three or four meters above the ground.

There were no ladders, no slopes, no places to climb, and the stakes were even covered with spiked thorns, making it impossible to climb with bare hands.

It is clear that these thorn plants were deliberately planted by the owner of the house.

However, this is no doubt that the mage will not fall, Zhang Cheng raised his hand and performed a flashing technique, and instantly moved from under the shelf to the balcony on the second floor.

Just when he was amazed at the plasticity and wonderful changes that the arcane energy had shown in the moment just now, a black shadow suddenly burst out of the window of the wooden house.

Since the sky had completely darkened at the moment, he couldn't see what it was at all, and subconsciously released the Frost Nova according to the habit in the game.

Syllable!

With a crisp sound, the crystal clear frost spreads around the caster, and the black shadow freezes in place.

"Roar!!

The black shadow, which felt the biting cold, desperately broke free, let out an angry roar, and the green light was refracted in the two fierce eyes.

With the help of the faint light, Zhang Cheng finally saw the true face of this black shadow.

It has an earthy yellow fur with a shaved tail and a body length of about 1.8 to 2 meters, which has typical feline features and looks very similar to that of a cougar.

You don't have to ask to know that this uninvited guest is none other than the famous mountain lion of the Hillsbrad Hills......
