Chapter 4 Utgard Castle
The burly Viku are the most powerful natives of the Howling Fjord, and their largest fortress, Utgard Castle, stands at the center of the Howling Fjord, where the King of the Vikus, Imiron, is located.
Here are two relatively simple five-player dungeon dungeons in the game.
With his current weak state, it is definitely impossible to enter the castle of Nautgard, but there is still a chance to get some food in the Veku settlement on the periphery, not to mention that the Viku are also good at shipbuilding and navigation, and the keel ship is impressive in the game, and even its dead use the ship as a coffin.
Thinking of this, Su Chen had already begun to secretly get excited, with the size of the Viku people who were several meters tall, even if it was their 'small boat', it was a big ship for him, if he could get one, he would have a chance to return to Lordaeron.
He began to continue his way through the snow, trying to find the huge castle that should be in the center of the map.
However, in the real world, the Howling Fjord was far bigger than he expected, and until nightfall, he still didn't see the slightest shadow of the castle.
Su Chen could only find a sheltered corner to rest in order to save his physical strength.
It was his first night in this world, but he didn't expect to spend it in the howling of the cold wind.
The next day, after climbing a mountain with difficulty, he finally saw an extremely large and majestic fortress in the sky.
With his familiarity with this fortress in the game, Su Chen soon quietly came to the gate of the castle.
However, to his surprise, he saw no trace of the Viku along the way.
The castle is majestic, almost towering into the sky.
However, the stone walls of the fortress were mottled and seemed to have not been maintained for many years.
"Why doesn't anyone seem to have anybody?"
When he was surprised, Su Chen seemed to remember something, and his face instantly became strange.
"Remember that these Vekus were only awakened after Arthas became the Lich King, and they should have been ...... before Sleep all the time! Su Chen's brows jumped, according to this, this huge castle was probably empty as well.
He dared to enter the castle, and it was silent, and the dust on the floor was so thick that it almost covered the vamps of his shoes.
"A castle of Utgard without monsters!" Su Chen's mood at the moment was like seeing a beautiful woman without clothes, and he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, there might be a large number of treasures waiting to be found in this huge empty castle.
But the excitement only lasted for a short time.
He saw some huge rusty weapons on the castle floor, all of which had been reduced to iron filings at the slightest touch.
"How long have these Viku been asleep? Remember 10,000 years or 20,000 years......" Su Chen recalled the information related to the game, and his heart was suddenly full of frustration.
Ten thousand years, even if it is a peerless treasure, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the erosion of time.
All that remains is this monumental castle.
"I wonder if those Veku boats are rotten?" Su Chen was most worried about the ship, if there was no big ship capable of sailing, it would be difficult for him to return to Lordaeron in his life.
Su Chen hurriedly searched in the huge castle, walked through the oppressive hall that was so tall that it was depressing, climbed the staircase that was half a man high, and even came all the way to the top of Utgard.
In the end, he found several keelboats.
Perhaps these ships are really made of keels, and they have not completely decayed after 10,000 years.
Su Chen began to repair the ship in a patchwork manner, and at the same time began to collect all kinds of materials that could be used for sea voyages.
He had absolutely no idea how long he needed to sail at sea, so he had to stock up on food and fresh water in large quantities.
It took him nearly a month to prepare, and finally enough dried bacon and preserved fruit was made, and the boat was finally repaired.
What's more important is that his weakened state has finally recovered a little, although he still can't use the power of the Holy Light well, but he can still be easily killed in the face of ordinary monsters and beasts, not to mention that he still has the razor-sharp Frost Sorrow in his hands.
Su Chen pushed the keel boat into the water with trepidation.
The ship did not sink.
He immediately climbed up with joy.
The keelboat went down the river, and a large number of undead could be faintly seen hovering on the shore on both sides.
Su Chen remembered that some of the soldiers brought by Arthas in the game were survivors, and even set up a camp in this Howling Fjord, which later became the port for the Alliance to land in Northrend.
But at the moment, he didn't care about looking for these surviving soldiers, or at least in his current state, he couldn't afford to look for them.
One can only hope that they will survive as they were in the old history, and that they will send a ship to pick them up when they return to Lordaeron.
After drifting for almost a day, the keelboat finally broke out of the fjord, with the endless sea in front of it!
Su Chen couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart while he was excited, the scale of this keel ship was not small, and it could completely withstand the storm at sea, but he was the only one on board, although he had the help of his brain, he couldn't control the ship at all, so he could only let it drift on the sea.
Su Chen didn't know how long he had been adrift on the sea, and at first he remembered the days, but soon he realized that it was meaningless.
In the end, he could only estimate how long he had been adrift at sea based on the length of his beard.
Fortunately, there is also a relatively clumsy smart computer that can be used for chatting, otherwise this kind of day staring at the sun rising in the east and setting in the west is really difficult.
However, after spending nearly two months on such days, Su Chen found that his food and fresh water were a little insufficient, and what was more serious was that the temporarily repaired keel ship had begun to show signs of collapse after a long period of sea storms, and perhaps it might sink in the next storm.
Su Chen could only pray to reach the shore as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, until the keelboat disintegrated in a huge storm, the coast was still nowhere to be seen.
"I knew that it would be better to become a death knight, at least I don't have to worry about breathing, maybe I can use the Frozen Road......" Su Chen held a piece of the ship's plank undulating with the sea, in order to lighten the burden, the original armor on his body had already been thrown away by him, only the frost sorrow was wrapped in rags by him and tied behind him.
Su Chen didn't know how long he had been soaking in the seawater, and even his mind became a little groggy.
If it weren't for Zhi's mind staying awake all the time, it is likely that he would not have noticed the life-saving sailboat passing by near him.
"Thank goodness I was saved." It was almost the last bit of strength that Su Chen used to climb onto the sailboat called the 'Goddess of Waves' with the help of a cable.
However, to his surprise, the ship was full of refugees, and even the deck was crowded with people.
Of course, Su Chen's appearance now looks more like a refugee than a refugee.
"May the Light bless you!" A young priestess kindly cast a recovery spell on him.
Su Chen couldn't help but show a wry smile, he wanted a loaf of bread more than the favor of the Holy Light.
He was about to ask some questions about Lordaeron when he heard what appeared to be someone in the crowd saying his name, Arthas.
"Arthas who killed that day would have degenerated like this, and all the people in our village were killed by him with those undead!"
"Alas, how could the prince do such a thing, not only to kill his own father, but also to destroy the whole of Lordaeron." Someone shook their heads and sighed, the look of regret and heartache looked like they should be the people of Lordaeron.
"What's going on?" Su Chen was shocked in his heart, he was obviously here, why would these people say that Arthas destroyed Lordaeron!
