Volume III: Tumultuous Beginnings (Remastered) Chapter 16: To the Psychic Academy

In the previous life, the Psychic Academy could be said to be a very famous place among players. Founded by the lich Kel'thugad at the end of the Second Age, the College of the Dead, located on the border of the Kingdom of Ashwood, is located on Lake Keldron on the border of the kingdom of Ashwood, but it has not been uprooted by humans until now.

This lich secretly spreads the idea among humans that those who are bewitched by it will eventually spontaneously come to this underground castle, throw themselves into the arms of death and shadows, become a cultist of the Damned, and believe that everything they do is to rid the world of all kinds of harm.

The Psychic Academy can be said to be an undead force outside the rule of the three undead empires, and these undead who have been expelled by the orthodox undead have gathered under the command of Kel'thugad, and they don't know what conspiracy is secretly planning. In the previous life, when the world of Entagri was fully opened to players, there were some guilds that gathered to try to eradicate this cancer attached to the human kingdom, but after tens of thousands of elite players broke through the gate of the Psychic Academy, no one could survive.

Eventually, the vast majority of these ambitious players were transformed into undead, with the exception of a small number who were resurrected for various reasons. The transformation from a human player to an undead player has caused a lot of shock in the player community.

Yu Bin also recalls the relationship between this guy named Past with the Wind and his ongoing mission of Manas's comb.

This undead thief is the only lucky one who has completed this task once and for all!

The most important reason why Manas's comb is considered to be an extremely cheating mission is that after waking Manas, when the comb made by Farina herself wakes up the poor ghost of Manas from a dream, you will have to face an extremely difficult choice, either watch the poor ghost be consumed by despair and transform into a hate-filled banshee, or escort her to the psychic academy under her own strength, and Farina will protect her childhood friend from being swallowed up by death.

The former has little to no effect on the player, with no rewards or losses, while players who want to dig out some benefits from Manas or Farina, will have to choose the latter. Escorting a fragile ghost across almost half the continent is no easy task.

I don't know how many players have paid a heavy price for this escort mission, and over time, the task of Manas's comb has naturally become an extremely cheating task under their preaching. Only the undead thief of the past Suifeng, who has always been obsessed with this tragic ghost, resolutely chose to escort Manas to the psychic academy, and finally succeeded in this feat.

No one knows what reward the undead thief received from Lady Farina, but since then, the title of Ghost Assassin has been passed on by the undead player, eventually making him one of the most advanced players.

After recalling these inside facts, Yu Bin had already made a decision to help the past complete this complex and arduous task, on the one hand, this could allow him to establish a relationship with the Psychic Academy, and on the other hand, Yu Bin also decided to test whether his guess was correct through this adventure.

"We're glad to see a fellow Clan, there are so few players who choose the Undead!" Yu Bin smiled and stretched out his hand towards the past with the wind, "I'm Ice Whisper Dry Bone, sitting next to you is Alan Shadow Song, an assassin, the guy who laughed disgustingly is called Lei Guang, a half-hung necromancer, and the last one is Keldilla, a believer in Jecob, the god of death, so let's count it as our auxiliary." ”

"Hey, what do you mean by a half-hung necromancer? You are blatant slander! Lei Guang jumped up and yelled at Yu Bin.

"Leave him alone! We can talk to each other when we have time. "As a player of the same profession, Alan is very interested in the past, he has been exploring the skill configuration and attack methods of this profession by himself before, but a person's wisdom is limited after all, Yu Bin can't help too much in this regard, at most, he can only tell Alan the way to match some assassin skills in his previous life, so he urgently needs a player of the same profession to confirm with each other whether the route he chose is correct.

The past was flattered and shook hands with Yu Bin and a few people, from the battle just now, he knew that these players were much more powerful than himself, and they were obviously masters, which made him how not excited: "Hello, hello, I am the past with the wind, German!" ”

"What's next?" After introducing each other, Alan said the problem of making the past nervous, he really wanted to ask these masters to help him complete this task, it was rare to meet such a thick thigh, it was really unreasonable to hug him well, but he was worried that Yu Bin would offer too high a reward, although he had saved some gold coins before, but it was not enough to hire a master like Yu Bin and them to help him.

Yu Bin glanced at the past with the wind, and he could roughly guess what this undead thief was worried about: "Since we met fate, we don't have anything important anyway, everywhere we go is leveling, let's do a favor!" ”

"I knew you would say that!"

In the past, Suifeng thought that he had heard it wrong, but he didn't expect that he didn't speak, and these masters offered to help themselves, and looked at them as if this was a gesture.

"This ...... I...... I didn't...... Enough money ......"

"Don't be paid! Boy, you're in luck, this time you're volunteering! Lei Guang waved his hand and said arrogantly.

"I bet this guy must want to taste what it's like to be a big brother!" Keldila spit unceremoniously.

"Okay, now that everyone agrees, let's think about how to get to the Psychic Academy! If you don't find Lady Farina, it's useless to say anything! ”

"What do you suggest?"

Yu Bin thought about it for a moment: "Originally, the most common way was to go through the hills of Hillsbrad and cross the city of Andohar, this road is not easy, you have to go through a short section of silver pine forest, then follow the shore of Lake Lordammere all the way to the Tirisfal glade, and from there along the Valley of Nightmare and the Clear Lake, through the Poison Canyon, and then over the Cameth Trail, and then reach the ruins of Andohar. Even horseback riding takes at least a week! ”

"So troublesome?"

"It's not just troublesome, it's dangerous. Silverpine Forest and Lordamere Lake are okay, Nightmare Valley is now the territory of a group of elemental creatures, and there is a Spider Lord in the Poisonous Spider Canyon, even if you reach Andorhar City safely, you will have to face a large group of crazy undead monsters. ”

"Isn't there a more convenient and faster route?"

"Yes!" Yu Bin pointed to the Alterac Mountains in the distance, "The Sheehan River connects the Hillsbrad Hills and Lake Kelderon, and you can reach your destination directly along the river. ”

"Then why don't you just say the route in the first place? Oh, I see, this route is more dangerous, huh? ”

"The Sheen River flows all the way through Icewind Hill, Regret Ridge, Eagle's Nest Mountain and Poison Mist Canyon, Ice Wind Hill is relatively easy to deal with, but Regret Ridge and Eagle's Nest Mountain are two difficulties, the Heart Eaters on Regret Ridge have always been the closely guarded enemies of the Ashwood Kingdom, not to mention the Hammer Dwarves on Eagle's Nest Mountain, if they are discovered by those dwarf griffin knights, you will have to experience the thrill of a high-altitude fall." Yu Bin would rather choose a detour than challenge the hammers of those brute hammer dwarves.

Everyone fell silent, in order to ensure that Garol Gold Coin would not have some accidents in the process of trading with the Fireblade Clan, such as being cut off by a group of pirates, Yu Bin left Sasarian in Ratchet City, otherwise, with Thassarian's protection, he still had half the chance of success to safely cross the Eagle's Nest Mountain and the Ridge of Remorse and reach the Psychic Academy.

"It's useless to just think about it here, I think it's better to go to the upper reaches of the Sheen River to see the situation first, anyway, it will take at least a week to get around the city of Andohar, and I don't care about spending an extra day or two."

There was no objection from the crowd, so they took the past with them and set out for the Alterac Mountains.

Located at the intersection of the Silver Pine Forest, the Tirisfal Glades and the Hillsbrad Hills, the Alterac Mountains are a small mountain range that stretches for no more than a thousand kilometers, and the highest peak is only more than 2,000 meters high, the Broken Ridge occupied by the dark pine trolls is near the Hillsbrad Hills, and the Sheehan River originates in the middle of the Alterac Mountains, and the snow from the summit provides a part of the water for this river, which, combined with the continuous convergence of other small rivers, eventually forms a rapids that is more than 100 meters wide.

When Yu Bin and the others came to the Alterac Mountains and stood on the shore of this rapid, they all had sad faces.

"The current is so fast that the raft can't support much time! Even if you have a boat, it's useless! Along the way, Lei Guang and Keldila were discussing how to make an improvised raft from the trees of the Hillsbrad Hills and make it down the Sheehan River, but after seeing the rapids of the river in the field, they did not hesitate to reject the plan.

"It looks hard to walk along the shore! At this speed of the current, I am afraid that after passing the Ice Wind Hills, there will be cliffs on both sides. Alan climbed to the nearby vantage point and looked in the direction of Eagle's Nest Mountain, and said disappointedly.

Yu Bin rubbed his chin, found a stone about the size of his head from nearby, and threw it into the river.

"What are you doing?"

"Check the specific impact of the water flow, Lei Guang, do me a favor!"

"Ha, I didn't expect you to have this day! Say, what do you want Uncle Lei Guang to help? That's a big deal! Lei Guang looked proud.

Yu Bin smiled and beckoned to the second goods: "Come here." ”

"Huh?"

"Come closer!"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Go down to you!"

Yu Bin flew up and kicked Lei Guang into the river, and then stood on the shore and watched Lei Guang struggle in the turbulent river water leisurely.

"Oh, looks like it can hold on!"

With the help of Alan and the past with the wind, Lei Guang was finally pulled up after soaking in a cold shower for nearly twenty minutes.

Without waiting for the angry thunder to get angry, Yu Bin clapped his hands at a few people: "Okay, everyone prepare the following, and then let's go!" ”

"Go? Where to? Detour to Andohal? ”

"That's too much trouble! From here, of course, go straight to Lake Kelderon! ”

"You said you went straight from here? How to get there? Keldila didn't react for a while, until she saw Lei Guang's dripping appearance, and finally came to her senses, "You don't want to say that you were rushed over like this, right?" ”

Yu Bin had an expression of amazement: "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing!" ”

"I'm rubbing, you're kidding! I almost drowned, you know! Lei Guang couldn't wait to pounce on Yu Bin and fight hard.

"I think you're kidding! Have you ever seen a ghost drowned in water? Yu Bin looked at Lei Guang with caring eyes.

Everyone was stunned there, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the truth, they had only seen the undead who were burned to death by fire, and they had never heard of the undead who were drowned in water. How could an undead who couldn't even breathe suffocate in such a situation!

"Well, but the current is so fast, I'm afraid it's hard to grasp the direction, and if you are carried by the current and knock down the cliffs on both sides, I'm afraid it will cause death."

"No, Lei Guang can struggle in the water for so long just now, as long as we add a little more weight, the impact of the water flow will not affect us too much, at least we can maintain control of our bodies in the water." Ailan finally understood why Yu Bin kicked Lei Guang down just now, "The two of you are wearing cloth armor, which is relatively light, you can hold a stone to increase the weight, and the weight of the equipment for the three of us alone is enough to maintain balance." ”

"Don't rush, make some preparations first! With the wind, how much soul can you have? ”

"That's at least three hours!"

"Then it seems that it is too late today, even if you follow the river directly, the whole journey will take at least several hours. Keldilla, how many raw materials do you have on you to make potions, can you make them without alchemy equipment? ”

"There are still a lot of materials collected before, and the success rate of field production is very low, less than one-fifth!"

"Use it all, do as much as you can! Find a safe place for everyone to go offline, and after six hours, everyone will go online on time! ”

The past is Suifeng watching Yu Bin giving instructions there, his eyes reveal a longing gaze, for the past Suifeng, who is still just a young man, Yu Bin's calm appearance is exactly what he has always dreamed of, it is a feeling full of leadership temperament.

The German lad subconsciously followed Alan and gladly accepted the order, completely forgetting that he was not really a member of the group.
