Hinterland is one of the few lands in the northern continent of Lordaeron that has not been set foot by humans. The Hammer Dwarves carved out their cities in the Eagle's Nest to the east, while the two troll tribes were in the west of the range.

This enclosed and fertile land is home to griffins, which are spiritual, large flying creatures. The Hammer Dwarves who moved here became their friends, giving them the best of Azeroth's air force.

The Hammer Dwarves and two troll tribes, the Wicked Trolls and the Deadwood Trolls, have been fighting for more space in Hinterland. The three fought back and forth, sometimes with dwarves fighting trolls, sometimes with two troll clans fighting among themselves. But in the northeast, where neither of them touched, Seradan hides untold secrets.

Seradan is the name of a hidden and treacherous valley. In the deepest part of its dense forest, there is a giant oak tree that rises to a height of a kilometer, and the canopy is almost as high as the precipitous mountain range that separates Hinterland and Daron Mir.

The tree may have existed longer than any of the sapient races known to Azeroth today.

Because it's called the "Dream Tree", it's the gateway between the real world of Azeroth and the Emerald Dream.

The Emerald Dream is a world created by the Titans based on Azeroth when they transformed it.

If you think of the world of Azeroth as an existing number on a computer, then Emerald Dream is a primitive backup that the Titans made when they installed the system. In the event of a virus attack or malfunctioning system, the Titans can use the prepared tools to restore it with one click.

The Watchers left behind by the Titans have been secretly monitoring the world, and if they deem it necessary, they will send a message to the Titans of the Pantheon, asking the Titans to "format" the world and "reload the system" with the Emerald Dream that they had prepared in the first place. At that time, everything in the real world of Azeroth will directly return to its original particle state, and then reform into a new Azeroth in the shape of the Emerald Dream.

Seradan's Dream Tree is one of the four passages that connect the Emerald Dream to the material realm of Azeroth, the other three being in Ashenvale, Firas, and the Twilight Forest. Of course, it's not yet the time for observers to think that Azeroth must be formatted, so it's still a secret that no one knows.

But now, the portal in front of the Tree of Dreams, built tens of thousands of years ago, suddenly lit up with a green light - for the first time in tens of thousands of years - and then a golden ball of light flew out of the portal and bounced down the marble steps with a scream.

"Ahh No, I'm going to throw up! ”

The orb of light vanished, revealing two figures inside. One of them was lying crooked at the foot of the steps, holding his head blankly. The other quickly stood up, warily surveying her surroundings - she was dressed in golden armor with snow-white wings on her back, and in her hand was a strangely shaped rune sword with a red gem inlaid with a diamond-shaped head.

Her face was almost completely hidden under the helmet, but the calm, even cold, look in her eyes was enough to dispel anyone from probing her face.

Such a shape is like a legendary angel.

The other, a young man with black hair, rubbed his forehead and stood up, looking around - the crumbling steps, the dense jungle, and the towering trees behind him - he didn't recognize him at all!

"Here it is...... I want to think about it...... Ashenvale and Twilight Forest aren't like that, so what about Filas or Hinterland? The black-haired youth was a little unsure, but the pair of large griffons resting on the branches of the Dream Tree above his head made him quickly sure.

"This is Seradan of Hinterland! Looks like we're here in Azeroth-Kyle, do you have anything to eat? I'm so hungry! ”

The angel next to "......" did not answer, but took out a large brightly colored apple out of nowhere and handed it over.

The black-haired young man took the apple and took a bite directly, chewing it contentedly, then looked around at the new world around him, and said proudly: "This is the new world we are about to conquer?" Haha, finally out of that hellish place! Azeroth, I'm Jiang Weihan! ”

Angel Kyle glanced lightly at Jiang Weihan, who was obviously guilty of secondary two diseases, and did not speak.

Jiang Weihan, also known as the black-haired youth, was originally one of the many beings on Earth. My two favorite games in my life, one is World of Warcraft (WOW) and the other is League of Legends (LOL).

Some time ago, at Christmas, the LOL operator launched a new model where you can go to the lottery after playing. Jiang Weihan decisively went to try it, and then went to the lottery page to try his luck - he drew a mysterious key. In the past, this kind of item is equivalent to a discount coupon, and you can buy virtual items in LOL at a discount. It's glittering on the page. In the dialog box below, there is a "use/discard" option.

Jiang Weihan decisively ordered to use it.

Then a dialog box pops up:

"Hero, the Heart of Valoran is calling you!"

Go/Drop

New tricks?

Jiang Weihan didn't think much about it, and clicked "go".

So after a wave of vertigo, he embarked on a long road of no return.

After sobering up, Jiang Weihan came to a strange space: he felt that his spirit could expand in all directions, and the places he passed were as if he had seen them with his own eyes. This space seems to be filled with green mist, but if you look closely, there is none. He could feel his body, but he felt that his spirit and ** had been separated.

It's like the whole person is in the middle of a dream, between the real and the illusion, between the soul and the flesh, mysterious and incredible—and then a white-bearded mentally ill old man who claims to be Kieran, the guardian of time, appears in front of Jiang Weihan and tells him: You have answered our call, hero! Thank you for the sacrifice you made for Valoran!

The mentally ill old man said a lot of crazy things.

Of course, Jiang Weihan knew about Kieran. The old man of time in League of Legends! He felt that he should be dreaming, and laughed at himself that he must have played too much.

People sometimes do this, realizing that they are in a dream, but they do not wake up.

But the old man then cited a lot of factual evidence to prove that he was not dreaming.

For example, ask him 1000-7=?

In fact, the process is not so harmonious. Because the crazy old man let him feel the pain, let him witness a time bomb hanging on the head of an elk walking in the woods, just like in the game, Jiang Weihan saw a virtual clock with a countdown on the elk's head, and then after the countdown ended, the elk was blown into a pile of minced meat - and then a time bomb was hung on his head!

Jiang Weihan was so frightened that he ran wildly, and he found that the countdown was about to end all around him, on the branches, on the grass, and in the bushes. The explosion in his ears shook like thunder, and the air waves from the explosion were mixed with dead branches and leaves, dirt and rubble, making him a wolf. It was as if he was being chased by a hundred MLRS, and he was just running for his life!

Jiang Weihan didn't know what he was running, because the time bomb on his head only had a 15-second countdown, and listening to the ticking sound was like urging his life, and when it was about to reach zero, he finally shouted "I believe" - and then all the voices disappeared, he collapsed on the ground, and the crazy old man still appeared in front of him with a kind smile, but Jiang Weihan felt that this madman was hateful no matter how he looked at it! Wrapping a cloth around his head is an otherworldly version of Uncle Ben!

……

The past is unbearable, and finally came to the real world from the jade dream, Jiang Weihan now sees everything much more pleasing to the eye, and keeps saying to Kyle: Look at how tall that tree is! You look at how green the grass is!

Kyle still looked at him calmly, not speaking.

Kyle is a good girl, but he talks too little!

Jiang Weihan's enthusiasm for the first time in Azeroth gradually subsided, looked at the silent Kyle, thought about it and added in his heart: And always don't show your face! Bad review!

Thinking of Kyle, Jiang Weihan couldn't help but think of the reason for his crossing:

The crazy old man Kieran told him that the Valoran continent in the League of Legends backstory was not fictional. It does exist in the true history of the multiverse. But the world is facing a catastrophe.

Although the establishment of the War College resolved most of the disputes on the continent of Valoran. But after years of destruction by magical forces and erosion from the Void, the Runeterras are still dying. Therefore, the powerful men of Valoran united and began to explore new hope for the outside world.

They test and explore new soil suitable for the survival of the Valoran civilization in various ways, and the game "League of Legends" on Earth comes from their projection of consciousness.

Earth itself is also one of the planes they explore.

However, after some argumentation, they abandoned their intention to move to Earth in their entirety.

Because the earth has no magical energy and corresponding rules, technology is king here, but the Valoran continent is more dependent on the rules of magic.

But here they have made a new discovery: there is another cosmic civilization that has left a projection on Earth in the same way - it is called Azeroth.

In each other's projection games, they discover that this is also a plane where technology and magic blend. There are many things that Valoran have in common.

After a series of verifications, the powerhouses of Valoran believe that Azeroth is the land they have been looking for.

Therefore, after many complicated processes, Jiang Weihan from Earth took him to Azeroth through time and space without knowing it, the artifact "Valoran Heart", which was created by the powerhouses of the Runeterras.

After recognizing the reality, Jiang Weihan also asked the crazy old man very seriously why he chose the ordinary him, and the crazy old man said this at the time:

"You don't have to be presumptuous. Each one has its own peculiarities. You can hear the call of Valoran's Heart, which means that you have the potential to become a hero. And other earthlings don't have it. ”

Hearing the crazy old man praise himself, Jiang Weihan was so happy that he was about to jump up. Later, I realized that Kieran was purely fooling himself - because in fact he was the tragic hero who was kidnapped and had to work for others.

But in any case, now he didn't want to look back on the nightmare encounters of the past two years in the Emerald Dream Realm. What a name, O Azeroth! It's better to devote yourself to the great cause of changing the world!

"So, let's take the first step towards changing the world!"

Jiang Weihan crossed his waist in a high-spirited posture of a great man and took a small step forward, "Okay, the first step is over!" ”
