Chapter 3~4 The North Wind and Cold Forest, the Logging Demon
(I suddenly found that the fourth chapter was missing.,It's too troublesome to revise the chapter.,It's all in one chapter.,Please forgive the author for being lazy.γ οΌ
The moon rises and the day and night go back and forth, and three reincarnations have passed.
It's early in the morning.
Wisps of golden light spread through the clouds on this field, the sun covered the snow, dispelling a little chill, and the air was filled with a thin layer of mist, where the white mist was everywhere, the sea of clouds and pine waves were hidden, revealing the vast and vast plains of snow.
Three black dots slowly moved across the land, revealing a clear humanoid silhouette as the footsteps echoed.
Walking in the front is a girl dressed in cool clothes, only revealing her shawl and long hair, although she can't see her face clearly, but the irrepressible plump waves on her chest, with her tall figure, have a temptation of youth and maturity. She and another gentle black-haired fair beauty, one after the other, silently guarded a young man wrapped in snow-white bear skin who looked like a bent and walking polar bear from a distance.
This is the Rorschach trio who are on the road in the morning.
Although the area he came to was not the inner layer of the Arctic Circle, the cold brought by the high latitudes was still beyond the limits of ordinary people's tolerance, but fortunately, the sun was clear during the day, and when it shone on the earth, it finally brought some warmth. Otherwise, Rorschach, who has been accustomed to a comfortable life for a long time and is dressed in midsummer, would have been unable to hold on for a long time.
As soon as it was dark, he got up early, took the parchment map found in the broken house, and started the first step of the rookie mission.
Already a translation benefit in the reincarnation space, which allowed him to effortlessly comprehend the written messages written in the lingua franca of the world of Azeroth, he couldn't start acting. Because as a normal social student who is accustomed to a three-point-one-line cycle of going out, Rorschach has no way to determine the position of his parameters just by visually measuring the distance between the sun and himself like the famous adventurer host in a certain food show. And trying to identify the direction through the vague constellation patterns in my mind is obviously even more delusional in this different world where the starry sky is a brilliant mess.
However, this embarrassing problem was immediately solved with the arrival of the two corpse concubines.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the identity of the two obedient beauties who are now accompanying Rorschach.
is different from the beautiful girl with long purple hair who was born in the meat-selling comic "School Apocalypse", just a modern ordinary high school student, with excellent swordsmanship and calm temperament, in the novel of "Looking for Qin", as the number one female "Ji Yanran", when she first appeared, the story was already halfway over. The number of female surnames mentioned above alone is as many as twelve, but they are not the same as each other, which can be described as a hundred flowers, down to the beautiful and pitiful widow "Mei Silkworm Niang", and the glamorous and arrogant aristocratic county lord "Wu Tingfang" and "Zhao Ya", and even the cold and lonely princess "Zhao Qian", the heroic and beautiful assassin "Shanrou", who has long been surrounded by the protagonist, can be said to have concentrated most of the elements and images that the heroine could appear in the novel at that time. Under the shining of the stars, readers whose tastes are satisfied naturally form a fixed impression of favoring surnames early in their hearts, so that no matter how amazing and glamorous the female surnames that appear later in the text, it is easy to cause aesthetic fatigue in repetition and comparison, and thus be suppressed from the limelight and become passers-by.
But this kind of thing, which was almost a foregone conclusion, couldn't stop the creator Huang Yi from seeing that the situation was not good, and he personally flipped the table and cheated. Seeing that the "characteristics" had overflowed and could not move people's hearts, Suo simply took the "unattainable perfection" in his heart as the prototype to create an image of a goddess that is almost impossible for human beings to achieve.
This is also the origin of "Ji Yanran". Her debut, although she amazed Shikoku with a role similar to the name of the song and dance, but soon led to the noble blood of her descendants of the Yue Kingdom, and in the sudden turn of the plot, the author used the reason of "being displaced and lonely when she was a child", making her one of the three major swordsmen of the Wei State after the sword saint Cao Qiudao. But at this point, the creator Huang Yi was still not satisfied, and once again arranged "Zou Yan", the founder of the Yin and Yang family who put forward the theory of five virtues during the Warring States Period, as his teacher to accompany him on his trip, thus giving her the surname of a talented woman who is a scholar of heaven. It can be said that this kind of martial arts is better than the goodness, beauty and suppression of Zhao Ya, singing and dancing beyond Feng Fei, cute and straightforward characters who are not inferior to Wu Tingfang, are simply the result of further sublimation after collecting all the heroine's characteristics in the previous article.
In this way, the author also avoids the problem of comparing favorite female surnames in the reader's mind in an almost "rogue" way, because no matter which one the reader likes, he can always find some of the shadows in Ji Yanran, but he feels that it is more vivid and amazing than the prototype, no matter how he compares, he can't give birth to a disgusting mood.
Fortunately, after becoming a corpse concubine, although this peerless beauty did not have the rich feelings and amazing wisdom of the past, the memory and knowledge in her mind were still retained. It is impossible to think flexibly or to innovate, but there is nothing wrong with simply applying the knowledge fixed in your mind under clear commands. Naturally, with the assistance of this almost "female Zhuge master", Rorschach, a road idiot, can easily use the map in his hand.
It's just that this wool roll in his hand is not the kind of all-purpose plug-in in the game after all. The route is sloppy, and even the content only draws the approximate terrain within a radius of dozens of miles. Fortunately, two clear routes were marked: one was to the largest pioneer settlement in the vicinity, the "town of Heenim"; The other is to cross the mountains and mountains to the end of the northern coast, and it is unsigned, only marked with a hammer, and it is not known whether it refers to a blacksmith or a mine.
Rorschach thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to go to the populated town to find out where he was and find out where he was, and then move on to Valgard. And, more importantly, there......
Supplies can be obtained.
Naturally, Rorschach could not have imagined that an assassination attempt would become a prelude to a wonderful adventure, and in the first place, for the sake of lightness and convenience, he only had half a bag of refreshing chocolates on his body except for a black gun. This bit of food was also consumed as early as the night, and the reason for the early action was not so much the influence of a good biological clock, but the unbearable torture of the peristalsis stomach.
Although there is a little greenery along the way, most of them are actually plants with the surname of cold moss, which does not mean that the temperature has warmed up. Once at night, without the shelter of the hut, the cold temperature alone was enough to freeze him into a cloud of ice slag.
From the half-dark and faint early morning to the high sun hanging at noon, after nearly four hours of arduous trekking, the terrain in front of him began to change. The wilderness and plains that had once been deserted gradually turned into rolling hills, and the vegetation along the roadside began to thicken, but most of them were cedar forests or shrubs and grasses covered in snow, and they did not bear any edible fruit at all. What made him quite strange was that after walking such a long way in the primitive wilderness, he couldn't find any trace of wild animals, even the birds and birds were sparse, and it really didn't match the surrounding environment.
"Maybe Azeroth hibernates earlier than Earth." Rorschach shook his head, no longer thinking about it. I gasped for a moment with my legs, and it was easy for the soreness to subside, and then I opened the wool map for chest warming, and after some comparison, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
According to the information on the map, if you go at this pace, you will probably pass through this forest and walk under the river for half an hour to reach the location of the town on the map.
With the momentum to move forward, the hunger in his stomach also subsided a little, he relaxed his sore muscles slightly, and then accelerated his pace and started the trip, and even because of the strenuous exercise, his whole body was hot and sweaty, and even the cold of the weather became unfeeling.
Soon, Rorschach was pleasantly surprised to notice something different. If the entrance to the forest is still a primitive and wild natural scenery, and near the other end of the river, there are already obvious traces of human population. He even found a winding, narrow dirt path with footprints from long trampling and ruts from horse-drawn carriages.
With the road, the direction of progress is naturally clear, and the speed of Rorschach, which saves time to identify the road, is further increased, and soon the murmuring sound of the river is heard - in the map, there is a small lumberyard along the lower bank of the river, and the only town can be found by walking more than ten kilometers east along the lumberyard.
But when he got here, he slowed down, not rushing forward, but carefully looked around and looked at the surrounding environment:
At this moment, he stood on the mountainside of this hill, through the gaps where the trees intersected, he could faintly see the cold waves, the water surface shimmering silver in the sunlight, and above the river, that is, at the bottom of the mountain, there was a large clearing, and countless tree stumps lingered around, revealing the scene after felling. If you look further into the distance, you can catch a glimpse of the black edges and corners, which seem to be the outline of the roof inside the lumberyard.
"It seems normal...... But why do I always feel that something is wrong? Rorschach groaned for a moment, ignoring the pain of hunger, and his brain raced. After all, the blueprint of this world, whether it is the expansion of the World of Warcraft, or the prototype of Warcraft, as far as he knows, although the Arctic continent of Northrend has been isolated from the world for thousands of years, it is the base camp of the evil villain "Scourge Army" throughout the plot, so he can't be careless.
He compared the map, looked at it for a moment, and suddenly reacted.
The stump at the bottom of the hill was originally a circular clearing, but as it continued to stretch upward, it suddenly became seven or eight criss-crossing gaps, no longer a method of harvesting that spreads outward from the origin, but an intricate straight line. It is as if after the harvester has cut down the trees in front of him, he ignores the nearby timber resources on both sides and continues to collect them from the next one in front of him, which is very different from the thinking of ordinary people, just like ......
"It's like a monkey that has no wisdom and is driven by instinct alone, and when he sees the watermelon in front of him, he immediately throws away the sesame seeds of the previous moment......"
"Do you have no basic judgment and rely solely on visuals to support your actions?" Rorschach recalled a game he had played before, and had a vague feeling of bad luck.
He hesitated for a moment, staggered the path, and walked towards the most deserted logging road on the lower right, and finally stopped at a tree stump, looked at it carefully, and looked solemn.
At this moment, even if he didn't have any experience in cutting, he could easily detect the strangeness of these tree stumps, the edge of the remaining trunk cylinder did not have any smooth traces of jagged teeth, but there were still seven or eight chiseled gaps in the bark below, not like the slash of the axe blade, but more like the repeated scratching of sharp claws, faintly filled with a rotten stench.
Moreover, in order to fully collect the wood, the average lumberjack often only leaves the last ten centimeters of the tree stump that is difficult to eradicate, but in front of these fir trees only cut off the upper part, leaving a space about half a meter high, as if a group of dwarfs suffering from spondylosis and unable to bend over, they can only cut down the upper cut of the same amount of wood, and they are helpless against the remaining resources.
Rorschach then looked down at the ground, but unfortunately the climate here is cold, the soil under the shirt forest is similar to hard frozen soil, it is difficult to leave footprints, and he is not a professional who is proficient in detectives, so naturally he can't see any clues.
Rorschach thought for a moment, and suddenly dived sideways into the woods, and then leaned along the stump of the tree by the side of the road, although his steps were extremely slow, but as the distance narrowed, there began to be a faint rustling sound in front of him, and from time to time there was a strange whimper, as if the beast had deliberately suppressed its breath.
With the condescending terrain, he easily saw the scene more than twenty meters away, and couldn't help but feel a heartbeat, with a cold chill, staring for a moment, before shaking his head slightly...... The worst happened. β
Two ugly monsters, one large and one small, were lying under the tree, their bodies curled up and rickety, like deformed standing wolfdogs, but the heads poked out were human features, but the cheeks were deeply sunken, the canine teeth were outward, the gums were generally exposed outward when they lost moisture, and the yellowed fangs were closed one by one, and they were biting against the cedar wood, making crunching chewing sounds from time to time.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The al-ghul (ghoul) is a monster that originated in Arabic legends in the Middle East, but it is not an immortal spirit in the consciousness of ordinary people, but a kind of transformation demon that can transform into an animal as opposed to the caste of angels in religion. Its usual image is the prototype of a scavenging "sideburn dog" with obvious regional surname characteristics. They would raid graves, feed on the flesh of the dead or young children, and lure travelers into the desert wastelands to kill and devour, a reputation that would make any scimitar-wielding, faith-fervent Arab warrior shudder.
However, with the thousands of years of religious disputes between the Western European world and Arabia, the continuous march of the three crusades, and then the opening and decline of the Silk Road. The continuous collision and exchange of Eastern and Western civilizations made the image of the desert ghoul gradually flow into the Mediterranean basin, and finally extended to India and the Far East, which derived the image of the undead ghoul "Bishesha" similar in Brahmanism and Egyptian mythology. Even now, it is also widely used in various game creations, film and television screens, and creations.
In Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, a once-popular strategy game, ghouls are the basic melee units of the Scourge Legion, as well as the undead who work part-time in gold mining and wood gathering missions.
But that doesn't mean that their strength is much weaker than the legendary demon prototype.
This kind of monster infected by the undead plague has completely shed the shell of humans, its limbs are as narrow as cheetahs, although the muscles of the whole body have atrophied, but they have also become tough, their claws are sharp enough to easily cut through the thick bark, and the black fingers are even more poisonous, and according to the introduction of the game, this monster also seems to have the ability to recover from eating corpses.
To make matters worse, the two ghouls didn't act alone, and there was a group of accomplices standing sideways. But it's better to call it a coolie than a companion: on either side of the two loggers, one large and one small, are flanked by seven or eight bony skeletal monsters. The bones were not all made up of human bones, but rather a patchwork of animal models, and Rorschach could vaguely recognize the crooked skeletons of cattle and sheep. These animals, which had worked for their masters during their lifetime, were not allowed to rest after death, and several logs were pressed against each of their inward recessed backs, as if they were used as tools to carry resources.
However, Rorschach was sure that if he rushed over like this, most of these skeletons and necromancers would not be able to watch the play obediently, although the skeletons transformed by these animals seemed to be weaker, but if they swarmed up, it would also cause a lot of trouble. He retracted his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly asked the corpse who was serving beside him:
"Can you deal with these monsters?"
If the two girls gave a negative answer, Rorschach didn't say a word, turned around and withdrew. Judging by the linen worn by the two ghouls, it is likely that civilians from nearby lumberyards were infected after death. If he couldn't even deal with this lowest-level squad configuration, he could only abandon this area, detour several times the distance, and then turn the corner to reach the town to seek the help of the indigenous forces.
After listening to his question, the two obedient and well-behaved beauties looked at each other silently, and then began to act in tacit understanding. The girl with long purple hair first bowed in a traditional posture, and then took a few steps back with the sword at her waist, and before Rorschach could react, the whole person walked in a tone of small steps, seemingly very slowly, but in the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of more than a dozen steps, and approached the undead team who were concentrating on logging.
"She's ...... alone," Rorschach was stunned for a moment, and before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a cold and stiff voice.
"Okay......" Under Rorschach's surprised gaze, the slim black-haired beauty standing on the side suddenly brushed her hair, showing a kind of classical lady-like beauty, pale as jade with a shallow smile, staring at Rorschach, and said slowly and slowly:
"We ...... Protection...... Master. β
No...... I was amazed...... It turns out that how do you communicate with each other, you can make detailed plans and arrangements just by looking at each other, is it similar to the information sensing of insects?
Rorschach's heart was in a mess, and when he heard the well-behaved title of this beauty's "master", he suddenly recalled some of his indecent actions yesterday, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he had to snort, and turned his head to look at the battlefield on the other side.
In the next second, he suddenly understood why Bai Wu's kind of waste wood could be leisurely and comfortable in the adventure of infinite space, and he also vaguely understood why the reincarnation space threw him, a pink newcomer, into this magical world full of dangers.
The purple-haired girl with the knife first tentatively strode forward, seeing that this group of evil ghosts did not react, she pursed her lips vividly as before her life and chuckled, her dignified and soft face revealed a kind of bloodthirsty madness, her slender five fingers gently stroked the handle of the knife on her waist, and she chopped her toes seven or eight meters away from the enemy, and Rorschach, who was hiding on the side, only felt that her eardrums were shaken, and a twisted roar seemed to sound in the air.
This delicate girl with beautiful long hair and the appearance of a high school student suddenly turned into a cold white light, and her body was like a lightning flash, just like a bird. Only a soft groan sounded in the air, and a snow-white horse swayed in the wind, and Rorschach only saw a few lightning flashes, followed by two sharp blades tearing into the flesh in his ears, and then .......
Then he was stunned to find that the battle was over.
One big and one small, the two ghouls that can only be infected and transformed by strong humans, didn't have time to react at all, but they were swept up by the rippling sword light, and the two heads had already flown high, sliding out of two projectile arcs, and falling to the ground one after another. And it seems that because of some kind of bad taste of the attacker, the lips of the two skulls are just aligned up and down, and they roll down together in the shape of a kiss.
As for the seven or eight oxen and sheep skeletons used by the packs, they were somewhat unexpected by Rorschach, but they just stayed motionless with the logs on their backs, allowing their masters to be beheaded in public, and did not make any resistance. This move made the man who was about to continue slashing stop his knife momentum, turned his head to look at Rorschach to the side, straightened up, and waited for the next step.
It's not a rigid way to take orders...... Do you have the most basic judgment?
Rorschach shook his head, vaguely aware of the strength and intelligence of the corpse princess, before getting up and approaching under the support of another lady of the Wonderful Man.
However, when he emerged from the forest, the animal skeleton that had been standing still suddenly became agitated, looked around for a moment, and let out a "click" sound of loosening, and then turned his head at the same time to look at Rorschach, and two pale blue flames appeared in his empty eyes.
"Why did you suddenly move again, could it be that beautiful women have privileges in front of the undead?" After personally slashing Qiu Wei, Rorschach's mentality was much calmer, at least he didn't feel afraid in the face of this kind of attack, he laughed at himself, his body had already retreated, and his right hand quickly touched the holster on his waist, ready to meet the enemy.
However, his response was clearly in vain, because someone took the first step.
Seeing that the protector who had fallen behind him moved, and in the blink of an eye, he had crossed in front of Rorschach, and he only felt a fragrance like a musk like a lily attack, and then he watched the delicate female surname move forward with a sword, facing the ox and sheep skeletons rushing towards the heavy logs.
Different from the sharp and thin knife light of Poison Island Tsuiko, this stunning beauty from the pre-Qin era of China, as if demonstrating a wonderful song and dance, in the face of the charge of seven or eight skeletons, the whole person took the initiative to fall into it, surrounded by white bones but skillfully avoided the impact of edges and corners in all directions, and then the person suddenly turned like a spinning top.
"Sneerββββ"
Like a brilliant white lotus flower suddenly unfolded, the figure seemed to be holding not a sharp sword, but a soft and wide snow practice that instructed Ruyi, and like a table knife cut into butter, a circle of lingering white bones flew into snow chips in the blink of an eye, and the soft black hair flew like silk, and in an instant, a line was closed, the dance stopped, the long sword was like a sheath, and the person had retreated.
At the same time, the skeleton monsters constructed by seven or eight animals suddenly stiffened for a moment, and then made a crisp sound like popping beans, but at the same time, the skull and the ghost flame inside were cut through, losing the support of the power of magic, and were immediately crushed into pieces by the heavy wood on their bodies.
Witnessing all this, Rorschach was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and sighed with palpitations: "Fortunately, the real world has sealed this physique...... Otherwise, I'm afraid that even if I hold the cannon, I won't even be able to squeeze out the time to pull the trigger, and I will be ......"
Before he could continue to think about it, the "Book of Reincarnation" suddenly jumped out, and automatically turned the pages of the book, revealing lines of handwriting.

(PS: The following is not the text, purely the author's fungus complaint.)
Seriously, now those authors of the harem and multiple heroines should really learn this trick from Mr. Huang, this kind of creation of a sublimated surname of the female surname character as the palace, is simply to put an end to the source of the scolding war of readers with different tastes in the novels of multiple heroines
It's no wonder that "Xun Qin" can become the second book to be a real breed * Ma Tui Mei, but it is wonderful and popular, so strong that it is made into a TV series.
By the way, the first book is "The Story of Deer and Ding".
The protagonist in the previous article is an ordinary person.,You must force him to participate in the plot early.,I believe you don't want to see that kind of Celestial Dynasty high school student Olympiad math question tongue twister rage ++ Lich arcane chanting.,A bad student knocks down a death knight with a brick.,A schoolboy stabs a ballpoint pen through the rune sword funny story (although if you think about it carefully.,It seems to be quite interesting.γ οΌ
