Chapter 1: Departure from the Eastern Plague Lands

An ordinary orc pub, made of massive stone and rough wood, with the 'Tribe' logo painted on a red curtain hanging outside the door.

This sign represents strength and glory.

The orcs sat at the table made of logs, eating roasted meat, drinking spirits, and talking about the topics that the orcs liked to talk about. From time to time, he would slap his thick palm on the table and let out a hearty laugh.

At a table, Lin Fei very attentively spent a few gold coins to buy a bottle of high-quality high-purity rum, and then poured it into Emma's silver wine glass opposite with a smile.

The latter, holding his forehead, was looking at a map on the table.

Perhaps smelling the aroma of wine, the female night elf raised her head, smiled at Lin Fei, and then reached out and raised the wine glass to drink it all, and continued to study with her head down.

Looking at such a large number of female night elves, Lin Fei shook the rum that was already left in his hand, then gritted his teeth, beckoned to the boss, pointed to the rum bottle in his hand, and said hatefully: "Another bottle!" ”

Taking the unopened wine bottle from the smiling orc boss, Lin Fei pressed his fingers, opened it with a 'bang', and then filled Emma again.

"Okay, you finally got a friendly reputation in the tribe, and you can buy some items, but the money is not picked up by the wind, so it's better to save it, after all, you are my disciple, even if you don't buy me wine, I will help you with some things!"

Emma said as she poured the wine into her mouth without hesitation, a hint of rosy flashing across her cheeks.

"The letter and the stitches you showed me last time have been traced to be from the Scourge Legion's Chief Stitcher. And the letter, he sent a technician to help Ramsden, the swallower in Stratholme, stitch up the wound. However, these two things are of no use to us, the Eastern Plague Land is full of evil monsters, and Stratholme is the source of evil, and the Weeping City has witnessed the rise of the Lich King, and it is a truly ominous place! ”

Speaking of the Lich King, Emma, a level 60 elite, also showed a trace of indescribable fear on her face.

Lin Fei naturally knew where Emma's fear came from, there was no doubt that Emma was to the Lich King what he was to Emma, and the Lich King was to himself, it was the difference between heaven and earth, and now even if he killed Lin Fei, he didn't dare to hit the other party's attention.

"So I advise you, it's better not to go, even if I take you there, the chance of your death is as high as 90%!" Emma looked at Lin Fei and pushed the map on the table over.

The map is the Eastern Plaguelands, with a red circle on it, and that is Stratholme.

"I still want to go!" Lin Fei was very persistent.

Emma raised her eyebrows, and then snatched half a bottle of rum from Lin Fei's hand in great annoyance, and then poured it into her mouth.

"Although Stratholme is not as good as the Outlands, the danger inside is even more terrifying, if you die, it will also kill you with curiosity!"

Ever since Lin Fei got the letter and the sewing thread a few days ago, he thought that this might be a trigger item for a 'hidden mission'. Later, he remembered that the 'Ramsden' in the letter was a terrible monster in the depths of Stratholme, so he came to find Emma, whom he knew best, in Orgrimmar.

Of course, in a few days, he also took over all the tasks related to the 'Raging Rift', and the monsters in it kept dying and living, living and dying, and while Lin Fei killed them, he also raised the reputation of the tribe to more than 900 points, reaching 'friendly'.

That's why he can buy things in the tribe and invite Emma to drink in the tavern.

Emma didn't want to help, but she couldn't resist Lin Fei's constant requests, so she finally nodded and agreed to take Lin Fei into Stratholme. Just now, she was studying the map, and at the same time, she was trying to make a last-ditch effort to get Lin Fei to give up this idea, which seemed to her to be 'unrealistic'.

In fact, even Lin Fei himself was beating drums in his heart.

So far, he has not received any hints about the 'hidden mission', and he has nothing to rely on other than the letter and the sewing thread. And his biggest reliance comes from the speculation in his heart.

Lin Fei decided that this must be the trigger key to a hidden mission. Supporting this speculation is because the sewing thread was obtained from the corpse spider in the ghoul's nest, at first Lin Fei felt familiar after seeing the corpse spider, and then he thought about it, isn't this the same as the natural disaster 'abomination', both monsters are stitched together from corpses.

Well, this is a point of connection, and a 'natural disaster' is also a point. As for the letter, Lin Fei estimated that it was typed by Brother Huang after he entered the ghoul's lair last time. Then there is reason to believe that the Ghoul Lair and Stratholme are somehow connected, otherwise it would not be possible to explain that both things came from the Ghoul's Lair. But no matter what, Lin Fei actually had to take the letter and the sewing thread to Stratholme, although Lin Fei knew that it must be dangerous, but he couldn't convince himself not to go.

After a few days of hard work, his level has been raised to level 8, and even with Alice, his level has also reached level 8. And there are still more than ten days before the Demon Chapter World reset, so during this time, Lin Fei plans to improve his strength.

Special skills, powerful equipment, runes, and pentagrams, all of which can increase strength. And after Lin Fei saw Luo Xin's new skill 'Summoning Ghouls', he felt that he couldn't handle the skills he was currently mastering.

Summoning a ghoul, you can summon a level 6 ghoul with 500 and 85 HP and defense, although this ghoul can't carry the 'plague', but it retains the ability to devour corpses to restore health, which is definitely much stronger than the 'skeleton warrior'. Relying on this skill, Luo Xin can even go on his own without the assistance of other professions. Because as long as the ghoul doesn't die, he's not in any danger.

This alone has made the fat man and Gu Xiaolin envious, of course, even Lin Fei is quite envious.

Look back at the tavern.

"Now that you've decided, let's go now, but before we do, I'll help you improve your Rogue skills!"

Seeing Lin Fei's persistence, Emma didn't say anything anymore, but put away the map and beckoned Lin Fei out of the tavern.

This time, through Emma, Lin Fei improved the skills of 'Stealth', 'Shadow Attack' and 'Deboning' by one level each, and in addition, he also learned the skill 'Chiseling'. Chisele, which deals damage and disables the target for 4 seconds, but cannot attack during this time, otherwise the 'Paralyzed' state will be removed.

Rogue is known as 'control' melee combat, which is inseparable from some abilities that can control enemies.

In addition to these skills, Lin Fei also gained two specializations, 'Dagger Mastery' and 'Sword Mastery', and if these two weapons are equipped, any damage will be increased by 5%.

In Emma's words, Lin Fei is now considered an entry-level thief.

Once the two were ready, they stepped on the airship bound for the 'Dark City'.

The Undercity, the Forsaken's main city, a tribal domain. Because of his reputation and friendliness, Lin Fei could be said to be unable to be attacked by tribe members for no reason in any tribal territory. Even the Forsaken.

Looking at the ghostly walls of the Undercity, Emma said, "I have always disliked this place, but we need to take a bat, otherwise if we rely on walking, we will only be able to reach the Eastern Plague Land in the Year of the Monkey!" ”

Following Emma, Lin Fei entered the dark city like a labyrinth.

Until now, Lin Fei feels very lucky. Originally, he showed Emma the letter and the sewing thread, just to try his luck and get some hints. Unexpectedly, in the end, Emma was willing to take herself, I have to say, this is because I helped Emma last time. And every time he came, Lin Fei would visit her, which also made the relationship between the two closer and closer.

It's just that when he thought that if the demon chapter was reset, then Emma would no longer remember what happened before, and Lin Fei was a little gloomy. It's just that he can't do anything about this kind of thing.

Circling around, Lin Fei followed Emma without saying a word. During this period, Lin Fei also saw two 'abominations' with big bellies and fat intestines guarding a passage in the Dark City. This was the first time Lin Fei had come into contact with this terrifying creature, they were indeed very strong and fat, with many sutures on their bodies, and the flesh on their stomachs was turned over, and the fat intestines and internal organs inside could be clearly seen.

The visceral system of the Abomination had obviously been redesigned, and Lin Fei took advantage of his 'friendly' reputation to get closer and take a closer look. The hatred didn't care at all, but just stood there respectfully.

If it weren't for Emma finding out that Lin Fei didn't follow and returning to pull Lin Fei away, the latter would have to stare at the last one endlessly.

When they arrived at the bat administrator, Emma and Lin Fei picked a rather strong flying bat, and then the two of them sat down one after the other. In the next second, the professionally trained giant bat flipped its wings and flew the two of them towards the eastern plague land.

Nothing to say all the way.

When Lin Fei set foot on the Eastern Plague Land, he found that this place was really the most 'desolate' place he had ever seen. The so-called desolation does not mean that the yellow sand is everywhere, but that there is no 'life'.

Here, anything that can be touched, is corroded. The dirt, the rocks, the trees, the animals that lived here, everything was spoiled by the plague. Even the air was yellow and foggy, inhaled into the lungs, full of rotten breath.

"Although the monsters here are not as good as those in the Outlands, any one of them can kill you. Truth be told, it's too late for you to regret it now! Emma glanced back at Lin Fei and persuaded her with kind words.

Lin Fei shook his head, he was sure that his choice was right. No matter what, he must come this time, even if there is really no punishment for the hidden mission, Lin Fei will not regret it.

Seeing that Lin Fei had made up her mind, Emma didn't talk nonsense, she summoned her mount, a huge wolf horse, and carried Lin Fei to Stratholme.

Along the way, it was fortunate to have Emma, otherwise Lin Fei would have died many times. Not to mention those terrifying undead creatures, even some infected animals, any one of them can kill Lin Fei.

Fortunately, with Emma here, if you can get rid of it, you can get rid of it, and if you can't, this night elf will go directly to kill the monster. The monsters here are only about level forty, and they don't pose any threat to Emma.

Finally, half an hour later, Lin Fei saw a large iron gate hidden among the trees. The iron gate was covered in rust, and the surrounding brick walls were crawling with withered plants, and a few mutated rats crawled through the corners, occasionally stopping to look at the uninvited guests who had arrived.

The dilapidated brick walls and rusty iron gates are the back gates of Stratholme, the City of Weeping.
