The Land of Spirits, Taquiline.

In the early morning, a thin layer of fog fills the forest, and the buildings in the distance appear a little ethereal and hazy. Merchants were already busy in the streets, and every once in a while a heavily armed soldier patrolled by.

Gently pushing open the wooden door, a young elf in leather armor stepped into the morning light. Roland opened his arms widely, took a greedy breath of fresh air, felt the bright and warm sunshine, and smiled happily - finally recovered!

Roland Morning Song, a common High Elf of Quel'Salas, became a reserve soldier in the Wraith Lands as soon as he came of age. But after only half a month of service, he encountered an incoming troll on a daily patrol mission, and was shot twice, and then there is a plot that often appears in novels - a soul from another world invades this body that hovers between life and death and merges with the original soul.

Reality and games are different, after "recuperating" for a whole month and accepting the memories of his predecessor, Roland deeply understood this, this is Azeroth, but not the World of Warcraft in his memory.

After a long time, he closed his eyes and said silently in his heart: "Gaia, open the character interface." ”

After about half a second, a series of green lights formed a framework in the eyes:

Name: Roland Morning Song

Race: High Elves

Attributes: Strength 3, Agility 5, Constitution 3, Mana 6, Will 3

Health 30/30, mana 60/60, stamina 60/60

Talents: Arcane affinity

Class: Warrior (2nd Order) / Mage (Trainee)

Language: Salas, lingua franca

Perk: Beginner Weapon Mastery (Longsword)

Skill: None

That's right, this is the system that all time-traveling novels are indispensable, but the important artifact of the light is missing, the experience bar!

However, it is also a benefit for the data-based information to allow him to grasp his own state, Roland comforted himself in his heart, checked his backpack again, and walked towards the south with his feet raised.

Roland was originally a reserve soldier attached to Taquilin, but because he had been seriously wounded, the lord of the city, Lady Oliphilos, out of humanitarian love, signed an order to retire himself and left a demobilization fee of 100 gold coins.

You must know that the gold coins in this world are not ordinary valuable!

In the game, one gold coin is one hundred silver coins, one silver coin is one hundred copper coins, of course, in reality, the exchange ratio will fluctuate, but most of them are around 1 to 90, and 10 copper coins can make a person simply solve the day's food!

From this, we can know how much purchasing power 100 gold coins have.

However, according to Roland's inherited memories, these are nothing more than a drop in the bucket for the High Elf nobles. Intricate artifacts and a variety of spell scrolls and enchanted items bring a share of benefits to Quel'Salas every year. To use an inappropriate analogy, the current trade relationship between the High Elves and humans is equivalent to the relationship between China and the West before the ** War, and a large amount of gold and silver will flow into Quel'Salas from the various kingdoms of the Lordaeron continent every year, but due to the force of the High Elves, the human kingdom did not dare to make a move against this group of arcane maniacs.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, Roland met a blonde female elf who was leading a little girl who had just grown to her knees to practice walking at the door of her house, and she greeted the young man: "Little Roland, are you going to go far away?" ”

After speaking, she lowered her head and shook the elf's small palm, "Kyr Nara, say hello to Brother Roland." ”

"Brother, say hello." The elf raised her flushed face, looked at the young man with big watery eyes, and said a crisp Salas.

This is the Kelena family who live next door to Roland, and the child's father was killed in a battle with the trolls, leaving only a mother and daughter. According to Roland's memory, their family usually takes care of themselves, and they can almost be regarded as half of their own family.

"Kellnara is so good, will my brother bring you a gift when he comes back?" Roland squatted down and took the elf's white and tender little hand.

"Gifts, gifts!" The little girl clapped her hands happily, and then said a long list of words.

"Lie, kid, Demon Spring Leopard, take it away!"

"Well, the little one is so smart." Roland rubbed her face with the little girl affectionately before standing up, "Aunt Kerena, I'm going south with Uncle Leonic, and you will usually be troubled to take care of the family." ”

After a brief chat, the young man waved goodbye and walked towards the south gate because of the time, and as he walked, he could hear the little guy shouting behind him, "Brother, gift." ”

Roland lives in the south of the city, so it's only ten minutes away from the south gate.

Although it had only been light for a long time, there were already a lot of people gathered here, dozens of carts were parked around, and at least a hundred heavily armed soldiers were scattered around, including not only warriors with swords and shields, but also elven rangers with longbows, in addition, Roland even saw several large golems.

This is a regular army!

According to Roland's inquiry, in order to defend against the increasing attacks of forest trolls, the Silvermoon Council has finally decided to establish a small fortress on the shores of Lake Ekalan, about two hundred kilometers south of Taquilin. The fortress will be taken over by Baron Andillin from Silvermoon City as the first line of defense against the Amani trolls, blocking the trolls' westward exit and also serving as a backup for the Salas Sentry post.

The force in front of you was the vanguard of the fortification.

Soon, however, the young elves noticed that something was wrong—in addition to the skilful soldiers guarding the carriage, the female rangers were surrounded by a group of lazy fellows. They didn't participate in the transportation of the goods, just stood from afar and watched the bustle, and occasionally a few guys stepped forward to try to set up with them, and they were almost immediately driven back coldly.

However, Roland didn't care too much, you must know that this is the elite army of the High Elves, and even twice as many troll warriors can't get any benefit when they come, let alone the guys in front of them who don't seem to have any combat effectiveness.

So, despite some curiosity, Roland continued to look for his target—a burly male elven warrior with loose blonde hair and the usual delicate appearance of a High Elf, but with a well-defined face that inadvertently exuded a battle-hardened aura with every move.

This is an excellent fighter!

"Uncle Leonik!" Roland walked forward quickly and said hello respectfully.

Leonik is a high-ranking warrior, and Roland's grandfather (yes, you read that right, grandpa) used to be good brothers who went on adventures together, and he is also the elder who watched Roland grow up, and has always taken good care of himself, and the news of the fortress in the south is coming from his mouth.

"Coming?" The blonde warrior nodded, a smile appeared on his face, and patted the young man on the shoulder, "Follow me after you go, talk less and see more, the young man should come out and walk more." ”

Perhaps because he had traveled to the Eastern Kingdoms in his early years, Leonik understood the truth that "it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books", and he was even more dissatisfied with the current situation of the High Elves being content with the status quo and reducing communication with the outside world.

"Well, after going to the south this time, I would like to go to the human kingdom if I have the chance."

Leaving Quel'Thalas is Roland's current primary goal, and according to the memories he has accepted, Prince Arthas of the Kingdom of Lordaeron was born four years ago, in other words, if the completion of the construction of the Dark Gate is the starting point, this year is the year of Black Gate 0, and the army of orcs will sweep through the entire Eastern Kingdom in a few years!

If possible, he even planned to drag this elder who was close to him to Kul Tiras to hide for decades!

"That's what a man looks like!" Leonik laughed heartily, this kind of smile Roland had seen from his father's face when he was admitted to a major university in his previous life, which was the relief of the elders to see that the juniors were angry.

For a moment, Roland didn't know what to say, but fortunately, a cold female voice helped him out.

"Captain Leonik, the cargo has been loaded, is it time for us to go?"

It was a tall elven ranger, slender and athletic, wild and graceful, with long sun-like blond hair that hung down to his waist in white silk, and blue eyes as clear as the ocean. Her appearance was enough to turn all beings upside down, but she didn't seem to be in a good mood, and her face was iron-blue.

"Hey, little girl from the Windranger family!" The older warrior didn't care about the other party's face, and teased, "I'm annoyed by those guys, right?" ”

"I don't know where the Advent came from, even the mages from Silvermoon City know etiquette better than them, I feel sick when I see their eyes!"

The female elf cursed fiercely, and it seemed that she was entangled by the guys who had accosted her before.

"The Advent?" Roland's eyes lit up and he interjected, but he didn't want to attract the frowning and squinting of the female elf.

"Little girl, don't look like an adult!"

Leonik patted the young man on the back and introduced Roland to him, "This is the junior of a friend of mine, Roland Morningsong, a man who once fought trolls and was heroically wounded! ”

At this, he paused.

"Roland, don't be intimidated by this little one, she's Sylvanas of the Windranger family, the sister of the Ranger General, three years older than you-"

It's a pity that before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the other party.

"Roland Morning Song?"

"The recruit who set the record for the fastest retirement? A silly boy who can't even dodge a troll's spear? ”

The elf apparently had thought of something funny, and her face suddenly turned cloudy, and she covered her mouth and giggled.

As soon as he got rid of the shock of seeing a historical celebrity, the young man was defeated by the sharp words of the female elf. He could feel the blood in his face gathering in his face, a reaction of shame, but he couldn't explain it, because his predecessor was indeed a complete recruit, a stupid boy who was nervous about throwing a spear when he first came into battle!

What about the King of Banshees, who is serious and ruthless and decisive in killing? Are you sure you're not possessed by a certain wave of jokers? Give me back my three views! The young man, who could not argue with words, could only roar silently in his heart.

"Uh", for a while, Leonik couldn't find a word to excuse the young man, so he could only change the topic, "What did you say before?" Yes, let's go! ”

As he spoke, Leonik pulled Roland up and walked towards the front of the group, arranging for the others to give the order to go.

Without wasting much time, the whole convoy was moving at a rapid pace, and some of the guards carrying the goods climbed into the wagon and began to move south.

The rangers, armed with bows and arrows, rode the Landing Birds to find their way ahead, and they would take on the task of scouting. Even ordinary caravans will have some scouts scattered to investigate the road conditions, detect the activity of nearby monsters, and often do some road cleaning work like laborers, such as cleaning up new saplings on the road, filling in some large potholes that cars can't pass, etc.

You must know that this is not in the modern era of industrialization, there are no cement roads, there are dirt roads everywhere, just like Mr. Lu Xun said, "There is no road in the world, and there are more people walking, so it becomes a road." And the power of nature is very terrifying, even in the ancient history of the earth, it only takes two or three years for cultivated land to become a deserted bush, let alone this world where magic manifests itself and nature has its own will.

Even in modern society, the author can still remember that when he was in elementary school, after receiving the books on the first day of school at the end of the summer vacation, the school would organize everyone to go to the small playground paved with cement bricks under the teaching building to pull weeds.

Therefore, adventures in another world are never as easy as they are in the novel, except for those who are "I'm an adventurer", such as Harrison Jones and Brian, most adventurers are just trying to get a bite to eat, and most of the really capable people will find a stable job, such as being a nurse or a city guard.

At the same time, never underestimate the caravan guards, in today's terms, they are all technical jobs with combat ability, and those who don't have any real skills will have long since died without a place to be buried, and the kind of caravan guards that set off the protagonist can only be seen in novels, and the real world is cruel and realistic.
