Archmage and Keeper of the Esy, Medivan, the last guardian of the Tirith Puja, was supposed to be tasked with protecting the world of Azeroth against demonic invaders.

Unfortunately, the pride and selfishness of Medivan's mother, the previous generation of Guardian Egwen, caused the soul of Sargeras, the most powerful demon in the universe and the master of the Burning Legion, to lurk in Medivan since the day of his birth, without her knowledge.

As an adult, Medivan has always struggled with Sargeras's influence on him. However, the Juggernaut was so powerful that he eventually took over the elderly Archmage and opened the door to the planet Draenor, the home of the orcs.

Infinite armies of orcs have poured in from the Dark Portals in a protracted war against the defenders of this world. In order to confront the powerful orc horde, the many forces of this world form an alliance and fight side by side.

However, at the end of the First Orc War, the Kingdom of Alterac, one of the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity, betrayed the Alliance. The authorities deliberately placed their armies and generals on a path that the tribe would not pass through, and gave up the pass to the kingdom of Lordaeron, the heart of the Alliance.

With the Horde's army approaching the city, Lordaeron was in danger, and Solas Thorbaine, the king of Riptide, led his army to the aid of Alterac Mountains. Together with the upright Altranac general, General Haas, he launched a fierce assault from the rear of the Horde. After a bloody battle, the defeated Horde army was finally crushed, but the alliance also suffered heavy losses.

At the end of the war, an enraged Dalaran destroyed the traitor's royal city, and Alterac's original realm was given to the other kingdoms. Today, on the site of this mountain city, only a ruined wall is left telling of its past glory.

- Archmage Medivan's anomalous behavior has also been revealed. The Kenrito cult that rules Dalaran has always been suspicious of Medivan and has formed a secret organization, the Violet Eye, to spy on Medivan and the mage tower he has established in Karazhan, and eventually they discover the truth almost at the same time as Lady Egwene.

With the help of Medivan's apprentice Khadgar and fellow orc female Assassin Garona, Sir Lothar, a close friend who grew up with Medivan, raided Medivan's Mage Tower, where they defeated the Guardians who had been overrun by evil. To Sargeras's surprise, and without the warriors themselves' knowledge, the soul of the Fallen Titan was banished from the world of Azeroth, and the soul of the good Archmage Medivan was released.

- After banishing Sargeras's soul, Khadgar agrees to the Violet Eye conducting a "limited investigation" into Karazan. "If we could have known more about what Medivan had done when he was occupied, perhaps we would have been better prepared for the war that followed" – the Violet Eye at least claims.

- On the other hand, instead of executing the Alterac nobles who made peace with the Horde, the Alliance expelled and stripped them of their domains. There are also some of the former Alterac elites who have always cherished the city of the mountains and the removal of their homeland from the world, who have been hoping to restore her glory after the destruction of the royal city.

Now they are gathered together - under the common goal of restoring the kingdom of Alterac, although this goal hides conspiracy, assassination, greed, and hatred...... the Syndicate was formed, and one of its actions is to lurk among the ruins of the royal city, waiting for an opportunity to breach the security of the border of Dalaran.

- Adventurer, Dalaran needs your help...... Of course, they are generous in return, and they will never fail to live up to your efforts.

……

After reading these records, Jin Shaolan flipped through the old notebook again, confirming that there was no discrepancy between the information provided on it and his own memories - strictly speaking, the soul of Sargeras hiding in Medivan's body was actually just a projection of this fallen Titan god. As such, he can be defeated by Egwen, or he can be banished with Medivan's death. But this does not mean that there is a problem with the information, or that the world is different from what he knew when he played the game, because, Jin Shaolan judged, these differences should belong to the secrets that need to be further explored to reveal.

Closing the old note, he looked again at the parchment on which the mission was written. Unexpectedly, in just a few minutes, the handwriting on it was already faint as if it had been blistered, and as he gazed, the mission introduction quickly turned into a wisp of green smoke from the first word, until the last punctuation point and the last ink stain also "burned" and disappeared into the air. Jin Shaolan was stunned for a moment, but as he shifted his attention to the content of the task, the mysterious symbol on his chest began to heat up slightly, and then, this information quickly appeared in his mind.

"It's really magical," the "welfare" that only appeared in fictional works undoubtedly surprised and admired Jin Shaolan, and he tried this new experience of "reading" and "browsing" the mission description in his mind, and groaned. In the blink of an eye, the young director clapped his hands and whispered in annoyance, "This kind of good thing!" If I could get one for all my stumbling newcomers and idols who can eat by their faces, then my movie ......! ”

Jin Shaolan suddenly stopped talking and didn't continue. The smile vanished, and his face turned cold, and he pursed his lips tightly. After a while, even though Jin Shaolan was the only one in the room, he still said coldly, "No." There is no 'my movie'. ”

He shook his head and refocused on the mission information in his head, trying to see if he could discover more of the capabilities of this wonderful system. As his mind moved, a parchment-scroll-like menu appeared in front of him, and the words he had just read slowly appeared on it. Of course, as always, the bold "out" in red is still eye-catching, reminding him that the consequences of not completing the task are by no means something he will be interested in knowing.

In addition, another message also came to his mind: the mysterious symbol on his chest called "Nightmare Mark", which was the embodiment of the contract between him and space; At the same time, the Nightmare Mark can also provide him with access to existing information, and if he needs to query additional information, he will need to pay a fee depending on his permissions. Of course, depending on his authority, there are some questions that he may not get answered.

"'Permissions' ...... 'Fees'...... I learned two more things. It seems that the "conscription" of the "Nightmare Space" may be more complicated than my imagination can reach? Jin Shaolan pondered silently and continued to explore her "system interface".

In fact, there is no need for him to "grope" by himself, as the task information is browsed to the end again, the task bar disappears from front of his eyes, and is replaced by a simple column of "current mission description" on the right side of the field of vision, in addition to Jin Shaolan's avatar in the upper left corner of the field of vision - well, the "current" avatar - and the familiar red physical strength bar, blue mana bar, and an electronic clock, it feels like he is playing a first-person perspective of the "World of Warcraft", except that there is no minimap in the upper right corner - naturally, There's also no skill bar at the bottom of the Screen. The clock is displayed as a gray immobile 48:00:00, with a small line underneath, "The distance to officially enter the World of Warcraft: 00:08:11", and this small red clock is beating and decreasing. When Jin Shaolan's eyes fell on this line of words, a series of information emerged:

"Time: Seven years after the Dark Gate opened." **

"Location: Silver Pine Forest, Ambermere." **

"Scenario: World of Warcraft"**

"Difficulty: Very Easy (Grade E)"*

"Pain attenuation: 70%." *

"Personal Ability Bonus Enhancement: 50%." *

"Current Scene Exploration: 0.00%." **

"As a side note: This scene is a peaceful scene, the contractor will not drop any items if he is killed, and the digital character information module will be turned on at the same time. The contractor can view their personal attributes at any time through the Nightmare Mark on their chest. ”*

"You'll automatically master the language and be able to interact fluently with people in the world. Leave the world and forget. ”*

Number of Tasks Accepted: 1*

"Your appearance has been processed and automatically restored when you return to the real world. You can also adjust the appearance settings in Nightmare Space. If you have any questions, you can silently recite the relevant questions in your mind and inquire through the Nightmare Mark, and if you have the permission, you can get an answer. ”*

"Contractor 14120, this is your first nightmare world to experience, and due to your status as a seeded player, you will be given the following additional choices: Do you need space to disguise your race while doing the outward manipulation to allow you to better communicate and communicate with the characters? Yes/No"

"Huh?" Jin Shaolan couldn't help but let out a loud voice, the information he had just received was quite surprising to him. "What is a 'seeded player'?" He asked immediately. The explanation given by the Nightmare Mark is that the "seed player" is a contractor who is judged by space to have potential and talent, and has cultivation value; The tip just now is the special treatment for "seeded players". And about the content of the prompt...... Is it for him to choose his race before entering the "game"? It was a bonus. Jin Shaolan hurriedly inquired about the Nightmare Mark, and got a straightforward and rigid mechanical answer:

"Seed player, Contractor No. 14120, this is only a disguise to provide you with further ease of movement, only in the first world you experienced, only by the Nightmare Mark's analysis of the current world and the task, you can only choose to accept it or not."

"Okay," Jin Shaolan muttered, "It means that I just need to know that I am taking advantage." Thank you, acceptance. ”

His avatar in the field of vision immediately changed, but Jin Shaolan didn't have time to pay attention to it, he almost couldn't wait to run to the mirror to check his new image: as Jin Shaolan had a vague premonition and expectation, this time, what appeared in the mirror was a handsome, pointy-eared, fair-skinned elf, with long blond hair and blue eyes—a high elf.

In the world of Warcraft, the elves are the oldest race, and the High Elves are the discoverers and users of magic, as well as the teachers who teach magic to humans. In this war, they also joined the alliance initiated by the Seven Kingdoms of Mankind.

This sparsely numbered race has an affinity for magic that no other race can match, and most of them are excellent spellcasters or alternate spellcasters. And the mage kingdom of Dalaran is a country that has maintained a deep friendship with the High Elves from beginning to end. Obviously, a High Elf apprentice, even if he is just an apprentice who has just started to learn magic and has not yet mastered the ability to cast spells, will gain the natural favor of Dalaran's side.

This is the preferential treatment given by the space according to Jin Shaolan's identity as a "seed player" after analyzing the situation that Jin Shaolan is facing. It can't give Jin Shaolan a higher starting point in the process of completing the task, but the popular person has an advantage at all times—even if it is a small advantage. On the other hand......

Young director Jin Shaolan, in his spare time after work, he is a hardcore player who is obsessed with the online game "World of Warcraft". And his character in the game is an elf - the "Blood Elf", which is the new name given to him by the High Elf race in order to remind him to never forget to avenge the death of his compatriots. There were also some elves who did not join them, retaining the original title of "High Elves". The difference between the two is their eyes - the High Elves both have a pair of azure eyes, while the Blood Elves have emerald green eyes.

On the other hand, this is really the treatment of the seeded players: the task world assigned by the nightmare space and the small preferential treatment given are obviously targeted after analyzing Jin Shaolan and his people.

The world of Azeroth, where the story of Warcraft takes place, and the race he chooses for himself in the game: for Jin Shaolan, a deep addict to the online game World of Warcraft, there is probably nothing more appealing than this. But the person didn't — and couldn't spare the time — to think about that right now.

Jin Shaolan looked at the new image that was quite similar to her beloved game character, and her face was glowing. He tried to touch himself, and a smile appeared from the bottom of his eyes to the corners of his mouth.

“…… Bal'a dash，malanore.”

(Elven language in World of Warcraft.) "Hello, traveler", the usual greeting. ）
