Chapter 18: The Ruins of Lordaeron

Mochi spent another day making the Nogerfogg Elixir.

A total of three bottles were made, and the reason why so many bottles were made was thanks to Moqi's housewife-like saving experimental operation methods, and all the preparation links were also very well controlled, without wasting a little raw material. There is no way to do this, there is only so much mushroom powder ground from purple aquatic mushrooms, and Mo Qi can only save raw materials to the maximum.

In the review panel, there is no explanation of the effect of the Nogfog Elixir. However, because this potion is so famous, Mo Qi knows the three effects that come with this potion -

The first is to transform into an undead, which lasts for 10 minutes. ATTACHING A STATE THAT STOPS BREATHING, ALLOWING YOU TO MOVE FREELY UNDERWATER, THIS BUFF IS MEANINGLESS TO THE FISH-MAN MOCHI.

The second is the reduction of the body, and the effect lasts for 10 minutes. Aside from making himself look more obscene, Mochi didn't see any practical use for it.

The third is to make the user's body lighter, which is equivalent to a parachute and a slow-fall potion, and it will not take damage if you jump from a height during the potion's effect, but this effect only lasts for fifteen seconds.

Each bottle of Nogerfogg Elixir will give the user one of the three states at random. In other words, as long as Mo Qi is not particularly unlucky, and drinks three bottles of potion, he can always get ten minutes of time to transform into an undead.

This also requires that Mo Qi cannot use this potion too far away from the Undercity, and the safer way is to take the potion near the entrance of the Undercity, and if he gets the Buff that stops breathing, Mo Qi will quickly enter the ruins of Lordaeron and take the artifact before the potion expires; If he gets the buff of shrinking his body, Moqi will wait for ten minutes before taking the next potion after his shrinking state is over; If the luck is very bad and none of the three potions are transformed into undead, then Moqi can only quickly move away from the Undercity and give up looking for artifact fragments.

Mo Qi had to stop when he was still a hundred or two hundred meters away from the entrance of the ruins, the sentry posts near the Undercity were very dense, and if he continued to advance rashly, it was very likely to be discovered by the guards on the airship tower.

Tucked away on a hill and with a view of the grandeur of Lordaeron's ruins, Mochi is still impressive in its size, despite the creepy atmosphere of the streets.

The high walls around the ruins resemble a gray curved cliff, ten meters high, dotted with silver and white markings. Mochi knew he was supposed to be circular, but couldn't estimate how long it was.

The capital of the Kingdom of Lordaeron was once the greatest human city on the continent, and its exquisite architectural reliefs and beautiful white domes are a marvel in the history of Azeroth's architecture. Mochi could imagine merchants from the Seven Kingdoms trading on the streets here, chatting with each other about the capital's politics, culture, commerce, and beautiful girls...... Everywhere there is a scene of peace and abundance.

Now, after the Third War and the battle for the Frozen Throne, it has become a ruin of death and sorrow.

As the official story tells, the above-ground part of the city has long been abandoned, and the courtyard is littered with weeds. There is not much left of the roof that has not collapsed; The collapsed walls formed patches of rubble and broken bricks on the street. The tower was broken in half, leaving only the edges of the canine fangs. The head of the alabaster sage has been cut off in half, and the fountain made of white stone has only a thick layer of dust.

Stepping on the city walls, the masonry made a crushing sound with each step. The arched gate of the tower is only a stone structure, and the huge iron bell has long since decayed, standing alone in the middle of the road, which makes people feel the passage of time......

However, these dilapidated scenes did not dampen Moqi's excitement at being able to see Lordaeron and the Undercity in real scenes, and he couldn't help but exclaim—

"Lordaeron, I'm coming! I'm here in the Undercity! ”

Mochi took out the potion and prayed for a while, "Elune bless!" May Mother Earth be with me! Even Cthun shelters me! Opening the cap of the bottle of Nogferg Elixir, he was a little worried about whether the lake-blue potion in the bottle would be difficult to drink, and after experiencing the devastation of the taste of the tonic potion, Moqi always felt insecure in the face of unfamiliar potion.

Mochi looked up and took his first sip.

"It's fine! It seems to have only a mushroom flavor...... "A potion made with purple freshwater mushrooms only has the taste of edible mushrooms, a bit like mushroom soup. It's not very delicious, but it's many times stronger than that terrible healing potion.

Since there was no problem with the taste, Mochi poured the entire bottle of potion into his mouth.

With a bang, Mochi's body changed, and he touched his face and arms—no longer the greasy feeling, shriveled and inelastic, like a dusty sponge to the touch; Look at his hands again, there is no blood, and the nails at the ends of his ten fingers are grayish white without the slightest luster.

Luckily, Mochi was able to get the effect of transforming the undead after drinking the first bottle.

When questioned by the patrolling sentinels, Mochi only said that he had just woken up from the Deathknell graveyard and planned to visit the Undercity and report to the Queen.

"The Queen doesn't have time for someone like you. Man, if you have time, I advise you to remember to get some clean clothes. If you're like this, others will think of you as a ghoul without a mind! Seeing Mochi's outfit—plaid shorts on his lower body and a linen windbreaker on his upper body—the sentry didn't have any doubts, but just gave Mochi a few more words before leaving.

Because of his undead appearance, Moqi didn't receive much suspicion and made his way to the wooden suspension bridge. Moki was a little stunned by this drawbridge, and it was through this bridge that Arthas, who had just received the Frost Sorrow, entered the city in the very distant past, bringing death and destruction to the city.

And now, although the moat under the bridge has dried up, Mochi still vaguely imagines what Alsace was like.

Across the drawbridge, there are tall Stitch Monster guards standing at the gates of Lordaeron, and it is said that Gerdor of Carlstone Manor was one of these guards, and it is unknown if the two guards in front of him know Gerdor.

The two guards only glanced at Moqi and turned their gaze back to the front. Presumably, in their opinion, undead spirits like Mochi should be common.

Walking on, Moch saw the gates of Lordaeron. The iron gate was closed between the cracks in the stone wall, and the sharp steel tips were already covered with rust. As he walked through the stone-walled porch, a breeze blew, and Mochi stroked his hand over the smooth stone wall, feeling a breath of ancient history.

Today, he finally saw the real ruins of Lordaeron!
