Chapter 9: The Queen of the Storm

When Rod returned home, all three of his sisters had woken up.

The youngest sister Xiaoxiao was lying on the table at this time eating preserved egg and lean porridge, Xiaoxiao was very cute, and the big eyes that blinked under the little broken hair were like jewels, and when she saw Rod coming back, she shouted in that delicate voice: "Brother, you want to hug!" ”

Rod picked up the little guy a little helplessly, and gently rubbed the little girl's hair, and the little girl felt the temperature on the rough big hand, and let out that "giggle" laugh.

At this time, Yue'er was coming back with a basin of dirty clothes.

looked at Xiaoxiao, who was smiling very happily, Yue'er also showed a sweet smile, and Rhodes found that Yue'er had shallow dimples, especially when she laughed, the little tiger teeth with small dimples looked very cute, it was a smile that could heal everything.

There were some beads of sweat on her forehead, and Yue'er skillfully dried up these clothes.

Rod looked at her with some distress.

In this family, Scarlet is more like a cold assassin, although she is the oldest, she doesn't know how to take care of a home at all, in the days when Rhodes is away, it all depends on Yue'er, a little girl, who uses her thin shoulders to hold up this small home, Yue'er, who is only seven or eight years old, she always tidies up this home, and everything is taken care of in an orderly manner.

Sou!

Not long after Yue'er came back, the figure of Scarlet appeared in Rod's field of vision. As always, her face was expressionless, with a dagger pinned to her waist, and she was not at all surprised by Rod's return, and it seemed that she had been protecting her two younger sisters near home.

Looking at this big family, Rod's eyes gradually drifted a little, obviously his thoughts had begun to fly.

He wanted to protect the home.

One month is too short, and he has to think seriously about how to quickly improve his strength to cope with the upcoming big changes.

"Stormwind ......"

Rhodes is now located in Stormwind City, and since he is not a player born in the [Shadow Domain], there are too few secret realm dungeons that have an impression of the vicinity of Stormwind City.

In "The Eve of the Holy War", it is easy to say that the improvement of strength is simple, but it is difficult to say. Players must kill monsters corresponding to their level to gain the experience needed to level up, that is, when you are level 10, you may only need to fight some wild wolves and hyenas to gain experience, but when you reach the legendary realm, you will even need to challenge the existence of the level of lich and dragon to gain experience.

Rhodes was now thinking about the uncharted dungeon that was right for him.

"Stormwind...... Horror Castle! Hunting Mountains!! ”

Hunt the mountains!

This is a location that Rhodes is more familiar with, and during a certain period of time, Rhodes came to the [Shadow Domain] several times, and spent a large part of his time in a certain dungeon in the Hunting Mountains.

Within the confines of Stormwind's domination, there is a subordinate castle, the Horror Castle.

It is a historic castle with origins dating back to the Age of Dry Bones, and its original owner was the Dreadknight, the legendary lich's most loyal subordinate of Stormwind's erstwhile saga.

A legendary-level Dread Knight rules the Horror Castle.

However, after Croft defeated the legendary lich, he also killed the Dreadknight, and he eventually sealed the ancient castle to a loyal subordinate.

And near the Horror Castle there is a mountain range, called the "Hunting Mountain", which is a mountain range that is often infested with demonic beasts, and there are many precious resources in it, and many adventurers in the Shadow Realm like to explore there.

Rhodes was very impressed.

Because there used to be a group of gamers called "brick movers" who often haunted here.

Migrant workers who move bricks!

Rhodes is one of them.

It is not a formal organization, nor is it a well-known trade union, it is simply a synonym for the composition of a civil society.

There is a quest in the depths of the Hunting Mountains called [Black and White Secret Realm].

It was a magical place, where the divine power from the heavenly realm and the demonic power from the abyss intertwined, because a rare metal vein was bred beneath the hunting mountain range itself, and under the influence of both forces, a new ore was formed there.

Mutant Magic Stone!

This kind of stone was excavated in the later stage, and it has a wide range of uses, which can be used as a weapon material to be forged, or as a magic item to be processed, and more importantly, it was also purchased by an NPC at a high price, and the most rare thing is that the [Mutation Magic Stone] has a special role in an ancient dungeon in the future, and its price has been high because of this.

And this kind of stone is only found in the deepest part of the [Black and White Secret Realm].

It's very dangerous there, and it's hard to entangle the monsters that infest, but the price of the mutated magic brake stone is high! As a result, many players who are short of money have formed teams to go deep into the black and white secret realm to mine.

This group of people who specialize in mining to make money call themselves "brick movers".

Rhodes, who was once very short of money, was also a member of the migrant workers in the past, and perhaps countless people never dreamed that the sword god with a sharp sword in their hearts also had a history of hard work in moving bricks!

"At this point in time, if you go to the [Black and White Secret Realm]...... Can't you still meet the [Terror Angel]?! ”

Rod's eyes flickered, he held his chin in one hand and held Xiaoxiao in the other, but Rode, who was in thought, didn't realize that the little guy had broken free of his arms and was jumping up and down on Rod's body like a little monkey.

"Horror Angel......"

A glimmer of memory welled up in Rod's eyes.

That god-like figure is believed to be an eternal dream in the hearts of countless Shadow Domain players. It is a creature as holy and graceful as an angel, but she also has the power of a demon, just like the combination of a demon and an angel, the temperament of an angel and the figure of a demon have haunted countless people, and Rhodes, who has advanced to the legend, once glanced at that figure from a distance, and he was shocked by the strength of that creature.

"Terror Angel, Diana!"

The pet of the "Terror Knight", one of the three major knights in the late stage of Stormwind City, was once a strong existence of a demigod-level demon.

In the late stages of Stormwind.

Almost all of the older generation of powerhouses have been damaged, and thankfully, the successors of the new generation are better than the blue, and the most powerful of them are the three NPCs known as the "Three Horsemen of the Storm".

And the guy known as the "Terror Knight" is famous for relying on his powerful mutant pets.

He seems to have made a pact with the young Terror Angel to borrow the power of the Terror Angel Diana on the battlefield, and with the help of this power, his combat power is close to that of the demigods, so he is one of the Three Horsemen of the Storm.

Rhodes used to deal with him.

Rod didn't like him, despite his generosity.

The Terror Knight is a very generous NPC, many adventurers have accepted his hire, and he always pays more than the rest of Stormwind, and his generosity makes players feel very good about him.

But Rhodes knew very well that pay and labor were equal.

This Terror Knight is an ambitious fellow, and his generosity is to win over some adventurers to fulfill his wishes, and he has always wanted to overthrow the rule of Stormwind and sit in that supreme position.

But this is a joke in Rhodes' opinion.

Among the three knights of Stormwind, this "Terror Knight" is the weakest, but he steals high positions and uses Stormwind City's resources to buy people's hearts, and his generous behavior does give many people a good impression, but there are that kind of elite players who finally figure out his purpose, and no player is stupid enough to help him.

Because, the flag-bearer in Stormwind City made everyone awe-inspired.

Queen of the Storm.

The strongest of the Three Knights of Stormwind, the lord of Stormwind, a legendary hero, and one of Ash's strongest NPCs......

"That's a respectable figure!"

When it comes to this person, Rhodes can't help but be in awe, as a sword professional, he is not in awe of any strong man, even the gods are in front of him, he dares to draw his sword and cut people, but in the face of this "storm queen" Rhodes can't help but feel a trace of admiration.

She is just, kind, heroic, and fearless...... She has all the qualities that a leader should have, and in any war, her figure will always be the most solid support for her subordinates, and her figure carrying the banner of the storm was once the propaganda animation of "The Eve of the Holy War".

Unlike the generosity of the Terror Knight, the Queen of the Storm pays the least for any task, and she fairly follows the principle of equal exchange, and reasonably allocates every bit of resources in Stormwind City.

Although Rhodes felt that the woman was a little stingy, it was undeniable that she had a noble soul.

If the Terror Knight is an ambitious pseudo-knight, then this Storm Queen is a knight of true character.

In the later stages of the Shadow Domain, it was she who carried the banner of the storm single-handedly, and she inherited Croft's "Will of the Storm" and became an iconic figure on the order side of the Shadow Domain, and it was precisely because of her appearance that the level of collapse in the later game was delayed by at least two versions.

"Hehe, others say that the terrifying angel Diana is from the [Black and White Secret Realm], and today I can finally test it myself!"

[Black and White Secret Realm] is a brick moving field, many players have been to that place before, and [Mutant Magic Stone] is a rare ore, and there is only one NPC willing to buy it in the Shadow Domain, the Horror Knight.

It seems that there is something wrong with the body of his pet Terror Angel, and he must use this [Mutant Magic Stone] to suppress the problem in the Terror Angel's body.

There's always a group of people in the game who are particularly boring.

In order to move bricks more efficiently, some people have made [Black and White Secret Realm Strategy Post], some people have boring research [Black and White Secret Realm Birth Exploration Post], and some people have written [Black and White Secret Realm and Storm Incident Potential Connection Post]......

And the most popular of them is the post [Black and White Secret Realm Reveal].

The original owner of this post didn't know which boring player seemed to be in pain, he actually found a bunch of clues from the "Stormwind City Incident" and the subsequent Shadow Realm incident, and then idle boredom revealed a bunch of various small easter eggs about the black and white secret realm.

For example, he found the origin of the Black and White Secret Realm from the chaos caused by the later Tempest, and he believed that the Black and White Secret Realm originated from the last Holy War Era, the era when the Celestial Realm and the Abyss were fighting, and the "Horror Castle" was established by the legendary lich to cover up some of his purposes.

There are also some interesting conclusions, such as the fact that the Terror Angel was actually born in the Black and White Secret Realm, and the Terror Knight is just a lucky one, who happens to conclude the ignorant and ignorant Terror Angel who has just been born.

"Looks like I can get closer to finding the truth!"

Rhodes actually felt a little funny at this moment, the post that used to be read as a story with relish, will now be verified by his own hands.
