Chapter 32: The Mountain of Blackstone
When it comes to strength, it naturally refers to combat power, but combat power is not easy to accurately assess, and the most convenient comparison is the strength level.
If a professional wants to increase his strength level, there are generally two paths to follow.
One is to strengthen the life force and improve the level of creatures, and the other is to cultivate hard and improve the level of the Force.
Gauss originally planned to cultivate hard and improve the level of the Force.
However, after careful consideration, he found that this road is not easy to walk.
You must know that true professional cultivation does not refer to the study of spells and combat techniques, but refers to the cultivation of exercises or meditation methods. For professionals, practicing the exercise method or meditation method is equivalent to cultivating internal strength, and studying spells and combat skills is equivalent to practicing combat skills such as palm, fist, and swordsmanship.
Gauss's current strength is basically inherited from the game character, because the role in the game can only be upgraded by fighting monsters to improve the four-dimensional attributes, so the professional knowledge he inherited is naturally only spell skills, and the most fundamental meditation method of the mage is missing.
Although it is not difficult for Gauss to find a meditation method to practice, the problem is that his own biological level is already comparable to that of a demigod, and if he wants to increase his strength level on such a basis, ordinary meditation methods will definitely not be of great use.
In fact, at this time, he had a copy of the legendary ogre Clago's "Code of Demon Breakers", as long as he deciphered the ogre language, he could use it to practice.
If the "Demon Breaker's Codex" contains Clago's meditation method, there is no doubt that it must be a legendary-level meditation method.
However, even if the legendary-level meditation method is used by Gauss for cultivation, the effect will not be too great.
If the demigod creatures are easy to advance, Azeroth, the true gods are all over the place.
Demigods in the profession refer to the mythical level, beyond the mythological level, is the true god.
In the World of Warcraft, there are not fifty or thirty demigod-level creatures or professionals, but when it comes to true gods, there are only a handful. Among the existing true god-level figures, except for the Void Lord, Sargeras, Akmund, Kilgardan, Elune, and the four ancient gods, Gauss really couldn't think of anyone else for a while
Therefore, for Gauss, relying on meditation to increase his strength level is not feasible, at least temporarily.
In his opinion, the really feasible and immediate solution is to move up a few more levels.
Gauss's game characteristics have not been completely eliminated, so while he upgrades, the four-dimensional attributes can also be improved simultaneously.
The four-dimensional attribute is improved, which is equivalent to strengthening the life force, and making it possible for one's creature level to jump.
His wizard template is still there, as long as he kills monsters, he can get experience, and if he has experience, he can continue to level up.
Although Gauss's biological level is comparable to that of a demigod, it means that he has not yet officially stepped into the sixteenth order.
However, his professional level at this time was still at a high level.
High level to mythology, at least he can, three more levels.
Although the previous two upgrades, the low-level to the elite, the elite to the elite, and the slight increase in all aspects, had little impact on Gauss, but when the legend was promoted to mythology, it meant that Gauss's wizard profession would also enter the mythical level at that time. At that time, in addition to the demigod creatures, add another professional demigod, and it is not surprising that his life force will be directly doubled. Although the true god is not available, at least he will truly become a veritable demigod wizard.
Speaking of upgrades, Gauss knew that Nomorigan's monsters, no matter how much they killed, should be useless.
This situation also proves that there are indeed some game characteristics in him.
Monsters seem to have levels, and you can't get much experience by killing low-level monsters.
However, Nomorigen can't do it, you can change places.
As soon as Gauss's mind turned, he thought of Blackstone Mountain.
Bordered by the Scorching Canyon to the north and the Burning Plains to the south, Blackstone Mountain is a volcanic mountain range created by man.
The legend of Azeroth's Blackstone Mountain is no different from the game's story.
The source of the appearance of Blackstone Mountain began with the civil war of the dwarves - the Battle of the Three Hammers.
The Copperbeard Dwarves united with the Hammer Dwarves and overwhelmingly defeated the Black Iron Dwarves twice, and killed Mordgood, the queen of the Black Iron Dwarves. The Black Iron Dwarf Emperor Thorison, grief-stricken, made a terrible mistake and summoned Ragnaros, the Fire Elemental Lord and the Lord of the Fire Demons, in the depths of the magma of the Red Ridge Mountain.
With the advent of the King of Fire Demons, the landform of the Red Ridge Mountains has undergone earth-shaking changes, the mountains are shaken, the grass and trees are gone, the flames are crisscrossed, and the wails are everywhere. All creatures that did not submit to the flames were reduced to ashes, and those who obeyed became permanent slaves of Ragnaros. A roaring volcano rises from the ground, creating a mountain of black rock with scorched stone and molten lava.
Blackstone Mountain is not only close to Stormwind City, but more importantly, it has the largest group of dungeons in the game.
Unsurprisingly, the Blackstone Mountains of Azeroth, after the Day of Tranquility, should also have formed seven sub-primatures, namely the Blackstone Abyss, the Lower Layer of the Blackstone Tower, the Upper Layer of the Blackstone Tower, the Molten Heart, the Blackwing Lair, the Blackwing Blood Ring, and the Blackstone Grotto.
These seven vice-primaries, in general, are entrenched in four forces.
The Blackstone Abyss and Molten Heart, occupied by Ragnaros' Elemental Legion and the Black Iron Dwarves, the lower levels of the Blackstone Tower, the Blackwing Lair, and the Blackwing Blood Ring, dominated by the Black Dragons, the Blackstone Orc Clan, and multiple ogre clans led by Nefarian, the upper levels of the Blackstone Tower, where the vanguard of the Iron Tribe are entrenched, and the Blackstone Grotto, which is the territory of the Twilight's Hammer.
However, the game is not reality, and the reality of the Black Stone Mountain sub-current metagroup will definitely change.
Gauss's speculation is definitely well-founded.
In the game, Nefarian, the eldest son of Deathwing, and Onexia, the black dragon princess, not only appeared in Blackstone Mountain, but traces of these two can also be found in other dungeons. The same goes for Ragnaros, the Lord of the Flame Demon, who has not only appeared in the Molten Heart.
There can be conflicts in the game, but real characters naturally cannot appear in different places at the same time.
Gauss could not think of any way in which such a conflict could be rationalized in Azeroth.
Also, the Black Stone Mountain dungeon group, in the game, the entry level is not high, but appealing to reality is not the same thing.
Not to mention the fire elemental lord Ragnaros, the leader of the Black Dragon Legion, the king of black stone, Nefarian, and the black dragon princess Onexia, what kind of strength are these three, just the adult black dragon, each one, is a legendary creature.
Needless to say, every boss-level character must be of the legendary level.
Could it be that the Black Iron Dwarf Emperor is just a high-ranking professional? Of course this is impossible.
Therefore, the power level of the Blackstone Mountain dungeon group is bound to be much higher than that in the game.
It is still necessary to break through, but you need to be more careful in your actions.
Of course, there is no need to rush to attack Blackstone Mountain.
Gauss is stationed on the sandbank, and there are still some things that need to be dealt with first.
Time was unhurried, and another two days passed.
Finally, the annual day of mourning has arrived.
The whole city of Stormwind is closed, and the atmosphere is solemn.
However, Gauss had no position to express his condolences on behalf of the High Elves who died in Dalaran.
In the expansion film, he saw Dalaran destroyed for the third time, and the only feeling he had was that Ackmund was too awesome. Although in the game, the only faction that players can choose is the Alliance or the Horde, but after all, the player is not a native of Azeroth, and there are really few who are too deep in the play.
Gauss now, in fact, is no different.
The joys and sorrows of the Azeroth race, he really couldn't understand.
So on the day of mourning, he was full of joy and went to the Academy of Power to pick up Ariel.
Ariel was also very happy to see Gauss, and without waiting for him to signal, he happily took his arm.
Gauss looked at her demeanor and eyebrows, revealing a vigorous heroic spirit, and his heart suddenly became hot.
Back in the Nest of Miracles, he was furious, and within two minutes of kissing, he flayed Ariel into an aries.
Ariel obviously missed him very much, not only did he not hide, but also took the initiative to cooperate with him and took off his clothes and pants.
Gauss divided himself by two, stripped himself naked, and fell to the bed with Ariel in his arms.
Of course, the two of them still pretended to be and didn't break through the final level.
After a few rounds of trouble, Gauss led Ariel to visit the Nest of Miracles.
Although Ariel was amazed, he did not expect that the beautiful nest of miracles would be built by Gauss himself, with every pillar and stone, every window and every wood.
"What a miracle!" she thought.
Gauss felt the obvious adoration in her gaze, and of course he was very proud.
People, you still can't be too proud, as soon as you are proud, you will get carried away.
In Gauss's mind, without even having time to think about it, he told Ariel that Helena also had a room in the Nest of Miracles.
As soon as the words came out, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly paid attention to Ariel's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Ariel looked as usual, as if he hadn't heard it.
Ariel didn't squeak, and he was even happier himself, but he didn't have to do it.
Of course he consoled himself, maybe Ariel, he really didn't hear clearly.
While everyone was having dinner at noon, Gauss introduced the members of the Miracle Hand to Ariel one by one.
Ariel was amazed, he didn't expect that in a month, he even accepted dozens of followers such as fishmen and kobolds.
In the afternoon, Gauss found a small boat, went down the canal, and took Ariel to the sea.
Boating on the sea is a different kind of fun.
In addition to playing, Gauss took the opportunity to practice fishing.
It wasn't until the sun went down that the two returned to the sandbank station.
Gauss personally cooked, and made dozens of catties of fish into more than a dozen dishes.
After a lively meal with his followers, he sent Ariel back to the Academy of Strength.
After the day of mourning, Gauss took matters into his own hands and worked with the members of the Miracle Hand to renovate the prison fortress.
When the Miracle Inner Fort was re-established on the site of the prison fortress, he set his sights on Blackstone Mountain.
