Chapter 7: Elves
"Welcome to our adventurous team, my name is Arthur, and I hope to have a good time working together in the future." The middle-aged man said to Su Chen with a smile, and at the same time stretched out his hand to him enthusiastically.
"Thank you." Su Chen nodded in thanks, although he still had doubts about this so-called 'Dark Side of the Moon' adventure team, joining them was the fastest way to get horses to go north.
What's more, Su Chen himself didn't actually know the way to Andohar.
Although he was familiar with the map of World of Warcraft, in this real world, it could only provide some approximate geographical location, and in this real Azeroth, a forest or swamp on the way could take people around for more than half a month.
Just as Su Chen was congratulating himself on his good luck, a somewhat disdainful voice suddenly came, and it was the mage who had talked to the middle-aged man before.
"This kid is sloppy and not even as good as a refugee, can he join the dark side of the moon just because he has been jumping around and hiding for dozens of minutes?"
Su Chen couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, this mage with a wisp of goatee looked quite noble, but he seemed to have a lot of opinions about himself.
"His strength is okay, and there are too few people who are willing to go north now." The middle-aged man who called himself Arthur sighed.
"Then you can't just find someone to make up the numbers, I agreed to join because I took a fancy to the strength of your 'Dark Side of the Moon' in the past, I was from a noble family, if you take such a ragged refugee to act together, then I don't dare to follow you to Lordaeron." The mage sneered, and at the same time played with a very delicate badge in his hand, which seemed to be Dalaran's emblem.
Su Chen's heart sank, this noble mage seemed to have joined this adventure team temporarily like himself, but it was very likely that the status of the mage who was born in Dalaran would definitely be higher than his own 'refugee', if he insisted on opposing his joining, he would definitely be kicked out of the team at that time.
The middle-aged man named Arthur immediately frowned when he heard this, probably thinking about the gains and losses, but soon frowned and looked at Su Chen, seeing that his hesitant appearance should be thinking about how to euphemistically persuade Su Chen to retreat.
The mage had a smug look, his head held high, his goatee under his chin cocked high, obviously he was quite confident in his position, and thought that he could use this to blackmail Arthur into refusing Su Chen's joining.
Being discriminated against by the other party just because of his ragged clothes, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, but at this moment, some information suddenly came from Zhi Brain, which made him stunned, and his eyes immediately shifted from the mage to the dark corner where the woman's voice came from before.
Although he couldn't see the sneaking thief, his brain could sense its existence, and even rely on the analysis of energy to outline the appearance of the other party in Su Chen's mind.
It was a tall woman, dressed in perfectly fitting black leather armor, which set off her delicate figure extraordinarily attractively, and her face was wearing a dark red scarf, but the eyes alone were staggering enough to captivate all beings.
Su Chen couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, it was normal for a stunning woman like this to appear at a nobleman's banquet in a gorgeous long dress, why would she choose to become a thief.
Especially according to the preliminary analysis of Zhi Brain, this woman's comprehensive strength is as high as 120, which shows that this woman's physical fitness is amazingly high, even surpassing Alsace as a paladin.
However, he soon noticed something unusual in the woman—her ears were longer than normal and the tips were sharper, which looked very seductive.
"Elves?" This word immediately appeared in Su Chen's heart, and he couldn't help but whisper it.
Arthur was thinking of the wording and opened his mouth to say something to Su Chen, but after hearing the murmur in Su Chen's mouth, his face changed drastically.
"You...... Can you see her? Arthur couldn't help but glance at the dark corner, and his face became solemn.
"No, it's just a mental feeling, it should be a young lady with beautiful eyes." Su Chen said with a smile, he didn't want to fully expose his abilities, but he couldn't behave too badly.
As soon as his words fell, there seemed to be some subtle anomalies in the shadow.
"She's gone?" Su Chen's eyebrows were raised slightly, in fact, the wisdom of his mind had already given the information that the other party had left.
"Hmm...... Old drunkard, you go and prepare a set of equipment for him, and the quality should be of the highest quality. Arthur nodded slightly, but the latter words were said to the 'profiteers' next to him.
"Damn, the equipment is so expensive now, and the high-quality goods are now all exchanged for gold, and it's all money......" The 'profiteer' dwarf muttered in his mouth, and shouted to Su Chen with some reluctance: "What kind of equipment do you kid want?" ”
Su Chen couldn't help but be slightly stunned, originally thought that he was going to be kicked, but now it seemed that Arthur was willing to let him join the adventure team even if he did not hesitate to offend the mage of Dalaran.
"Could it be that the elf female thief has something important to do with this Arthur......" Su Chen secretly wondered in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I need a set of simple armor, and a two-handed sword, which is a little thicker." ”
I am now in rags, since someone is willing to give him equipment, then he naturally has to accept it, not to mention that these people are going north at this moment, it must be an extremely dangerous task, and he will definitely have to take some additional risks with them, which can be regarded as getting paid in advance.
"Arthur, you insist on keeping this kid?" The noble mage's face was gloomy at the moment.
"He does have the strength to stay, not to mention that in the 'Dark Side of the Moon' it is not my final say." Arthur said and looked at Su Chen with a somewhat complicated expression before continuing: "Medierli is the captain of our 'Dark Side of the Moon', her profession is a thief, but because of her professional habits, she is generally reluctant to show up, so most of the trivial matters in the team are handled by me, this time she wants to leave you, I don't know what to call you?" ”
"Oh...... My name is Su ...... Well, it's called Sue. Su Chen was surprised by the identity of the female elf thief, and almost said his original name, as for the name Arthas, it was estimated that it would not be able to be used until Uther was found.
Arthur nodded slightly, he obviously knew that Su Chen must have used a pseudonym, but as an adventurer who had no fixed place, it was not normal to use a pseudonym.
The 'profiteer' dwarf had quickly brought the equipment that Su Chen needed.
"Produced by Ironforge Castle, it must be a high-quality product, this set of chain mail was recently acquired from a nobleman, it is similar to new, and this silver sword is also a good thing." The 'profiteer' muttered, and with some reluctance, he handed Su Chen a set of heavy armor and long sword.
Su Chen took it, this armor did look good, but the weight of the silver sword was a little lighter.
"Yes...... Forget that Arthas used the power of the warhammer Minethir. Su Chen frowned slightly, but it was not good to ask for a two-handed hammer again.
He didn't know if these things were expensive or not, and even in Arthas's memory, there was no concept of money or price.
Su Chen quickly left with Arthur with his equipment, and the noble mage stood in place staring at his back, his face turned pale for a while before he finally followed after letting out a cold snort of indignation.
Su Chen also quietly used his brain to probe this mage who was obviously aimed at him.
However, Zhi Brain's evaluation of its combat effectiveness was only 20, which made Su Chen a little speechless, obviously Zhi Brain's analysis could only focus on the target's physical fitness, and it was completely impossible to judge this type of mage.
"If the energy is sufficient, I will be able to analyze his magical ability from the power fluctuations it emits after I open the second-level clearance, and even tell at a glance what kind of magic he can do." Zhi Brain Xiao Hei said with some resentment.
Su Chen couldn't help frowning, energy was always the biggest problem that plagued him, and it was really unreliable to supply this smart computer only by relying on the physical strength obtained from eating.
However, there should be many ways to obtain energy in this world, for example, Illidan obtained quite powerful energy from Guldan's skull.
The Demon Hunter should still be locked up in a small dark room, but he has a chance to get the skull of Guldan.
"Our team is almost complete, and we originally wanted to find a priest to accompany us, but now that the war is raging, the people in the church are too busy, so we can only carry some holy water to expel the evil." Arriving at the location of the expeditionary team, Arthur took out a few delicate snail vials and handed them out.
The staffing of this adventure team does seem to be pretty good.
The dwarf named Liquor and Brute Hammer was a warrior, and the person in charge named Arthur looked like a knight, plus a beautiful elven female thief, and a paladin and a noble mage who was not against him.
Of course, his strength has not yet fully recovered, and this paladin is at best a punishment horseman, and his healing ability is unbelievably weak.
"As for the mission of our trip, I can tell you now that someone in the south has paid us a lot of money to reclaim Lordaeron's crown, and it is said that the crown hides a great secret." Arthur laughed.
"Lordaeron's crown? Wouldn't that be to enter the palace? It's a nest of the undead, and we can't even get through the gate, so it's all about going to die! The noble mage from Dalaran frowned slightly, mages had never liked to fight in cramped buildings, let alone face the most powerful undead troops.
"Well, but according to the latest information, Arthas has already led the main force of the undead to Andorhar, and there are only a small number of troops left behind in Lordaeron's palace, and we know a secret underground entrance to Lordaeron, so it is not difficult to enter." Arthur quickly explained.
Although this guy said it extremely seriously, it seemed that there was really something like that, but Su Chen didn't even believe a word of his words.
He is Alsace, Prince of Lordaeron!
Even if there was a big secret in Lordaeron's crown, it was impossible for even the adventurers thousands of miles away to know about it, and his Royal Highness, the prince destined to take the crown, knew nothing.
"Presumably this so-called crown is just an excuse, and I don't know what they are really looking for?" Su Chen secretly thought in his heart, but his heart couldn't help but tense when he thought that the guy who was disguised as himself had led the main force of the Undead Scourge to Andohar.
"Uther, you've got to hold on......"
Su Chen only hoped that Uther, as the boss of the Silver Hand, would take the initiative to see through the other party's disguise.
