Chapter Seventy-Four: Gariba Appears

A classic of Heroes of Might and Magic 3, it is recognized! As for the plot inheritance to Heroes of Might and Magic 4, due to the change of the core mechanics of the game, it has become a matter of opinion!

β€”β€”Excerpt from "Essays of Ling Zikai"

Lao Fu's vampire saw the little boy locked up in the basement of Loscan, and Lao Fu controlled the vampire to pick up the little boy directly and run out of the basement.

Getting the little boy's old payment, my heartbeat is a little faster! I rescued this little boy in advance, can I directly affect the main plot after the cataclysm caused by the collision of the Doomsday Blade and the Ice Sword?!

In the case of causality, if the result has changed significantly, is the cause also significantly changed because of the butterfly effect caused by the major change in the outcome?! So the Doomsday Blade and the Ice Sword, don't you have to touch each other?! After all, for many players, Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is an eternal classic, and the cataclysm caused by the collision of the Blade of Doom and the Ice Sword, and even Heroes of Might and Magic 4 are seen as a failed plot, which they don't want to see! And Lao Fu is one of the supporters of this view!

Lao Fu wants to make the plot of Heroes Invincible through his own efforts, and not to repeat the mistakes of the plot of Heroes Invincible 3 back then!

On the other side, the NPC black-haired man suddenly changed the situation of the hate target, which caught Lao Fu a little off guard!

Lao Fu frowned, is the system forcing the plot to develop towards the original path?

……

The NPC black-haired man was not affected by the layout of the villa in Loskan in the slightest, and without taking a detour or turning back, he found Lao Fu's vampire holding the little boy.

When they met, they waved a giant sword directly, and a half-moon-shaped sword light was cut out by the NPC black-haired man, and the sword light touched the old man's vampire with the word -200 on the top of Lao Fu's vampire's head, and Lao Fu's vampire was directly killed in seconds. The splatters of blood spurted directly into half of the little boy's body.

The NPC black-haired man stepped forward quickly, picked up the little boy, and looked the little boy up and down, triggering the dialogue deduced by the system

The NPC black-haired man asks the little boy, "Where's your badge?" ”

The NPC black-haired man used an honorific title for the little boy!

Looking at the numb expression of the little boy whose half of his body was covered with blood, the NPC black-haired man did not continue to ask, and reassured: "Forget it! You've suffered, and I'll take you back to Stavik City! ”

At the end of the system deduction, Lao Fu controls his class and steps forward to besiege the NPC black-haired man, hoping to recapture the little boy and continue his goal of changing the plot!

While the two sides were fighting, suddenly the battle screen stopped, and they entered the system animation again.

In the system animation, a necromancer with pointy ears with monocles appears, and carries a large number of undead classes.

The pointed ears indicate that they were supposed to be elves, and elves have a longer lifespan than humans, so elves rarely appear among necromancers!

Seeing the pointed ears of the necromancer, Lao Fu sighed in his heart, it's over, Gariba is here, and it's a failure!

The sharp-eared necromancer looked at the black-haired man and said, "You, a human, dare to run to my Withered Leaf City to commit murder?!" Why did you interrupt my research on the day I was on duty? Your sin is not light! ”

The pointy-eared necromancer waved his hand, and the various undead creatures around him pounced on the black-haired man, fighting with him.

The black-haired man was unable to fully exert his strength because he had to protect the little boy in his arms.

At this time, the attention of the sharp-eared necromancer was also attracted to the little boy, the necromancer narrowed one eye and looked at the little boy with one eye through a monocle, and the necromancer was surprised: "Huh! This human kid has a great talent for magic! Don't hurt him, catch him and let me study it! ”

……

Regarding the plot of the game of Heroes of Might and Might 4, there is a document called "Lost Manuscript", which has a more detailed record of the plot protagonist and the protagonist's related characters in Heroes of Might and Might 4, including Gariba's past, there is such a record:

Once upon a time, Gariba was a handsome elven lord.

Suddenly, one day, he is attacked by a gang of vampires and subsequently becomes unconscious. When Gariba woke up again, it was in his family cemetery. The dark immortal power bound Gariba's mind and made him hungry for blood like never before. That night, Gariba slipped out of his family's tomb and attacked his entire family. Eventually, Gariba was chased away by his former bodyguards.

Decades later, Gariba joined the Necromancy Order and earned a reputation as a "cold-blooded killer wizard", especially when it comes to targeting elves......

……

The NPC black-haired man in the Loskan villa failed to fight the wheel battle of the many undead troops brought by Gariba after all.

As a last resort, the NPC black-haired man had to escape through the window alone!

Gariba stared at the little boy who was brought up by his undead men for a while, and then nodded with satisfaction: "The closer you look, the more I feel that your magical talent is outstanding!" Gremlin! I'll take you as my apprentice, would you like to!? ”

The little boy nodded as if he didn't understand.

Gariba's pale face of the undead smiled with satisfaction, picked up the little boy, turned and left. As soon as Gariba took two steps, he looked back at Lao Fu's hero again, threw something to Lao Fu's hero, and then said: "With you fighting with that black-haired human until now, I can receive such a good apprentice, this can be regarded as a reward for you!" ”

After Gariba finished speaking, he turned around with the little boy in his arms, and this time he really left without looking back, and the undead soldiers he brought with him also followed......

This is the end of the system animation. Lao Fu looked at the thing in his hand, what Gariba threw over, this is a ring, on it is the mark of a vampire bat, if nothing else, it should be the ring that exploded when Loskan died just now!

Lao Fu sighed, just one step away, but after all, he still couldn't change the direction of the plot! Gariba couldn't have come at the right time, right?!

Many people may ask who is Gariba?

Players who have carefully understood the plot of the Heroes of Might and Might 4 campaign will know that Gariba is the master and master of the protagonist of the death camp in Heroes 4, "Half-Dead" Gao Duosi!

And the little boy who was just taken away by Gariba was none other than the young Gados!

Lao Fu, who was about to change the fate of Gao Duos, was about to leave the villa in Loskan as well, when suddenly something seemed to be remembered in his mind, and the remaining troops who controlled him immediately began to search in the villa in Loscan......
