Here is a little wordy to introduce the background.
Neverwinter Nights isn't inherently a good game, especially with Baldur's Gate Jewel in front of you. Its plot is weakened, the whole process is brushed, and the 3D modeling is all big triangles, which looks even more miserable today, because it is not recommended for everyone to review.
The core gameplay of "Neverwinter Night" lies in character development, which is BUILD.
Thanks to DND's extensive class tree and part-time jobs, the final level of the character surpasses Legend by up to 30! The result is hundreds of class combinations, among which the powerful BUILDS are especially talked about by players. People are always arguing about the fact that sooner or later a powerful character is formed, whether the clearing of miscellaneous soldiers is efficient or the boss is efficient, and this game is a hit.
But the protagonist with no personality, the fixed-point clearance-style game play, and the unnutritious plot have indirectly created the most impressive heroine and villain in the history of the game - Erebes de Timarande!
Jianghu people call it "Sister A".
Just like when "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was popular, there were rumors that "Lin Yueru and Zhao Linger both survived to the final hidden finale"; "Neverwinter Nights" is also rumored to have some kind of way to truly save Miss Erebeth Paladin...... So everyone is constantly brushing and brushing, trying every plot branch detail...... However, to the heartbreak of countless gamers in the end, it turns out that the hidden ending does not exist!
Shen Yan is also one of them!
So while scolding "this broken game eats jujube pills", he happily brushed and brushed, watching Miss Erebes die tragically again and again, and actually got some kind of strange pleasure...... Later, he wrote the book, "Ten Springs with Erebes".
In the book, he explores the ways to really save Miss Erebes.
Just like many bad guys become bad because of a miserable childhood. Shen Yan believes that the root of Erebes' tragedy is not in the plot of Neverwinter, although it is very cruel...... But much earlier—the moment when the Thunderwood Village, where she grew up, was destroyed by orcs. Since then, Sister A's concern and tolerance have been completely dead, and Erebeth has become a cruel avenger and a harsh law enforcement officer!
So Shen Yan's entry point is this.
It is impossible to save Thunder Wood Village, this is related to the "overall situation" of the whole world, Thunder Wood Village is doomed to destruction, and Shen Yan's little arms and legs will be crushed into powder in an instant. But he can save the country and become the only survivor of Thunderwood Village who did not die. In that way, he will become a bond to Erebes, so that she will not go further and further down the path of extremism, and eventually lead to destruction in the contradiction between faith, justice and self......
But what the hell is a brother and sister?!
When he heard Erebeth shouting "little brother" a second ago, he also regretted and rejoiced for this identity - it was a pity that he had no chance with Sister A since then, and he was happy that he was two percent more sure of the big goal of saving Sister A!
But the next second, when he saw Erebes's face, all Shen Yan's regrets and joys turned into panic......
Erebeth is Michelle?!
*****
And what the hell is laurel......
However, he didn't even have time to think about anything, and his body was violently pulled out of the ruins, and then hugged into his arms fiercely! "Little brother!" Sister A's choked voice called out in his ear, and his emotions completely collapsed, crying so that large warm tears fell on Shen Yan's cheeks.
Shen Yan was very embarrassed, because he couldn't understand Sister A's sense of disillusionment that her family was ruined, and she felt that acting was too deceptive.
Fortunately, at this time, Sister A couldn't see his reaction at all, because he was carried away from the fire, and Sister A kept telling what she didn't know, and the whole person was dominated by the emotion of loss and recovery. And Shen Yan ...... Hmm, Shen Yan was covered by two hills on his face, and he couldn't breathe. You must know that there is only a thin layer of clothing, and there is no underwear sold in the countryside in the Middle Ages, and there are two hard ......
Is this the squeezing sensation of the original Michelle?
Wait, Shen Yan is back to that tragic reality...... Michelle and I have unlocked any position, it can never be a brother and sister! Shen Yan's brain was completely occupied by this sudden ethical question, and he didn't have time to think about "why does Sister A call me Yuegui", "Why is Sister A exactly the same as Michelle, is it the same person" and other equally serious questions!
*****
It wasn't until Erebeth let go a little and carried him out of town that Shen Yan had time to take a good look at the "place where he was born".
However, the whole place called Thunderwood Village or Thunderwood Town no longer exists, and there are broken walls everywhere, and the roofs are burned through by the raging flames, and the thick black smoke drifts into the sky. All sorts of corpses lay on the road, men with sickles, women with children, and old men blocking the doorway...... The vast majority of them are humans, and there are very few monsters that look like wild beasts, and this is a massacre without resistance!
The point is that some of the human bodies are still missing, and there are bite marks on them...... And the orcs who left obviously did not think about taking the bodies of their accomplices, and the dead orcs were directly discarded here.
Shen Yan was silent, this was the first time he had seen such a brutal scene, and the scene of the massacre overwhelmed him.
Erebeth behaved even worse than him, after all, to Shen Yan these were strangers, and to Erebes - they were neighbors who lived on the same street, uncles who sold vegetables, naughty little bastards, and shy friends waiting to marry...... Seeing them turn into lifeless corpses one by one, lying on the cold ground with their eyes open, Erebeth collapsed!
She staggered with Shen Yan in her arms, her eyes were piercing pain wherever she looked, and in the end she could only look down at Shen Yan who was being held by her princess...... The only survivor left in the entire town. Fortunately, the person who survived was the younger brother...... She felt a little ashamed and a little glad. By the way, Shen Yan is already a young man in his twenties with full civil liability in the eyes of humans, but in the eyes of elves, he is definitely still a child who has not yet reached puberty.
Elves have different views from humans, and they do not judge age by height. In their opinion, no matter how tall a fruit tree is, it is still a small tree before it can bear fruit.
"Little brother, your legs?" While walking, Erebeth finally discovered the problem with Shen Yan's legs.
"It seems that I can't move from the waist down." Shen Yan replied with a wry smile, he really should smile bitterly, because paralysis is completely his own pot! If he goes up to the mountains and eventually encounters a tiger, he can be regarded as reaping the consequences......
"It's okay, it's good to be alive, my sister will definitely take care of you and get you back on your feet, I swear!" Erebeth's eyes seemed to suddenly explode with light, and the dead gray was no longer so thick.
Shen Yan didn't hear how much sadness there was about this from Erebes's words, but he seemed to be a little excited? It's like rediscovering your purpose in life.
"Michelle ......" Shen Yan tried to call, he wasn't quite sure if this person with eyebrows and eyes extremely similar to Michelle was her. As far back as he can remember, Michelle was 100% Moon Elf, and Erebeth's background was half-elf; Michelle is a legendary druid, while Erebeth is a priest and part-time paladin who later degenerates into a Blackguard; The difference between the two sides is stark.
But the appearance is so similar...... Unless he took off his clothes and asked him to carefully confirm some differences that only lovers knew, Shen Yan really couldn't be sure.
"Smack!" As a result, his question was not exchanged for "Who is Michelle?" Instead, Erebeth slapped him hard with the hand that was holding his leg.
"I'm going to call my sister!" Erebeth said "fiercely" with his big apricot-like eyes.
In other words, Michelle is the right name? Shen Yan was completely confused.
After being speechless all the way, after arriving at the edge of the village, Erebeth carefully put Shen Yan on a large stone and half lay down, then turned his back to Shen Yan, and paused for a long time before saying to him.
"I'm sorry, little brother. Your Michelle sister may be disappearing for a while...... But I'll give her back to you eventually! ”
The red sky outlined Erebes's straight back, and Shen Yan looked at her in a daze.
Looking at the village engulfed in flames at the foot of the hill, the woman pulled up her waist-length hair and tied it in a casual knot, then took out a knife and cut off the excess directly at the waist! She tossed her hand, her tousled hair fluttering in the wind, drifting towards the burning Thunderwood village......
"I'm Erebeth de Timarand now, the Avenger!"
