Chapter 4: The Guardian
A dozen hours later, the sun had already risen.
Ragged and with half of his trouser leg missing, Oster lay in the golden wheat, awakened by the harsh sun, and sat up rubbing his eyes.
There was a sharp pain in his head, and he couldn't remember where it was, and he didn't know how he got there. The memories of the previous night were so chaotic that my mind felt like a rag had been stuffed into it, and it creaked to function.
I remember that my foot was blown off, but now it's somehow intact. I remember turning into hundreds of bats flying in the direction of the rising sun;
He had never had such an experience, hundreds of parts had their own thoughts, but they were all themselves, relying on ultrasound to communicate with each other.
After flying for five or six hours, exhausted, he landed somewhere and reunited into his body. But because they were not very skillful, more than a dozen bats did not catch up with the large army in the end, and their whereabouts are unknown. Then he fell into a deep sleep until he woke up.
Feeling that something was missing from his body, Oster stood up and examined his hands, feet, head and torso up and down, as if nothing was unusual. Suddenly, he realized something, lowered his head and slowly unbuckled his belt.
A moment later, a terrible scream streaked across the sky;
"Ahhh ——”
The scream turned into a sound wave that spread high into the air and into the distance, eventually reaching the ears of a dozen bats that were getting lost somewhere.
The bats quickly adjusted their direction and flew to their main position, and one of them was obviously different in color and took the opportunity to blend into the group. As a swarm of bats whirled into Oster's crotch, he looked intently, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground.
[After the cast of Bat Transformation (Level 5) is completed, the permission is withdrawn, and the remaining number of times is 0.] 】
A USB flash drive around the neck projects a holographic image of a book, and after displaying the above contents, the image disappears. What the hell is this?
I tried to think about it for a while, but I only remembered that I escaped from my hometown, and was attacked by various beasts along the way, and was almost chopped off by the fishman. Somehow I was attacked by a fear demon king.,It's very miserable.,It seems that the other party is still doing something.。
Then there was an inexplicable urn USB flash drive from the previous life on his neck, and he couldn't remember the rest clearly. I can turn into a bat, so it seems to have something to do with this thing.
I tried it.,I can call out the book interface at any time according to my will.,The interface has no light and shadow effect at all.,It should be something similar to retinal projection.,Only you can see it.。
Remember what the Dreadlord said about the "Book of Sargeras" or something, is it the one shown on the USB flash drive? I don't think anyone said it had to be a paper book. Thinking about it this way, it is likely that the rebirth of myself in the other world in the first place is also related to this "e-book", after all, "summoning creatures from another world" is one of the effects of the Book of Sargeras.
The few spells shown in the book, the Chaos Arrow, the Bat Transformation Technique, etc., have zero remaining times, and they really can't be released after trying - can the spells learned only be used once? Isn't that useless?
At that moment, there was a sudden movement in the crotch of his trousers, and Oster was creepy, and then a voice came out that he would never forget;
"Hey, hey, Oster, can you hear me? I'm Solarius......"
What the hell is going on?! Oster let out a second terrible scream.
"Don't get excited, I'm talking to you through magical communication. First of all I apologize for my reckless behavior last night, there was some misunderstanding between us, and I will not be in front of you again until you fully trust me. So I released a bat to replace one of your clones so we could keep in touch with each other. It should have been a part of your body by now, rest assured, completely harmless, although I don't know which part......"
You'll never know, Auster clutched his crotch in panic.
“…… Also, there's one more important thing: you've been bound to the Book of Sargeras, as evidenced by being able to parse spells. Mentally prepared or not, you're the new Guardian of Tirisfa! ”
"Where's this—Guardian, isn't it the one who hunts down your demons?" Oster shouted.
Something in the crotch rustled, like a walkie-talkie, and I have to say, magic is really handy. "I don't know where you heard that. Since its inception, the Guardians have had only one duty, and that is to hunt down the remnants of the Titan colonists. ”
??? Oster had a question mark on his face.
In the chronicles of the game that he knew, the relevant content is as follows: 10,000 years ago, the queen of the ancient Night Elf Empire, Azhara, gathered to study magic without authorization, which attracted the Burning Legion to invade across the stars, and the coalition of Azeroth tribes rose up to resist, known as the War of the Ancients.
In the end, the Burning Legion was defeated, the Well of Eternity exploded, and the continent of Ancient Kalimdor was blown into four pieces, forming the current world map. After that, the Legion fished for 10,000 years, during which time demons continued to infiltrate the world through rifts. The humans and High Elves of the Eastern Continent have established the Tyrius Mystic Order, infusing the power of multiple powerful mages into one person, called the Guardian, who is responsible for hunting lone demons everywhere.
Of course, continuing the repeated book-eating and self-contradictions of the Blizzard chronicles, this history contains at least three doubts. 1. Since magic is evil and can attract demon legions, why are all races, including Titans, still using it after the War of the Ancients; 2. The Well of Eternity exploded, the sky fell apart in an instant, and half a planet drifted away, why were the inhabitants of each continent safe and sound; 3. Is there any special benefit to the Guardian gathering the power of several people on one person, it is really not enough strength, and it can be used in a squad.
Solarius on the other side of the bat seemed to have insight into Oster's thoughts, and said, "Don't listen to the nonsense of the Church of Light, they themselves are a foolish organization founded by the remnants of the Titans. The Titans didn't want their former slaves to wield power, so they smeared magic as evil.
The War of the Ancients was a joint uprising of the tribes with the help of the Legion against the Titan colonists. Later in the war, the Titans did not hesitate to detonate the Eternal Crucible to stop the rebels' onslaught. Had it not been for Sargeras sacrificing himself to withstand the blast and protecting the remnants of the land at the cost of the life core, the planet of Azeroth would have been destroyed 10,000 years ago, just as Argus had been.
The Book of Sargeras is the last legacy of the Great Leader before his death, and it is full of knowledge and power. A guardian is a powerful mortal who holds and guards the Book of Sargeras. Tirisfa, and later Kenrito, were both post-war legion-aided organizations that monitored the remnants of the Titans who had retreated to Northrend until the betray......al of Medivan, the last Guardian, ten years ago.
It's messed up, it's all messed up. Oster said his head was stuck.
After a while, he finally figured it out. This is all the Dreadlord Mind Attack, don't think he doesn't know, the Dreadlord has always been a cunning villain known for being good at deception and demagogy.
“…… I hope you understand that the Book of Sargeras is a self-aware, living magic book that represents the supreme wisdom of the Burning Revolutionary Army, which chooses its guardians according to its own will. After the disqualification of Medivan, it fell into a decade of silence...... It is by no means without reason that I have chosen you now. I won't force you to accept your fate, and I have no right to interfere with your choice, so when you think clearly, please come to the Hope Mine south of Yuexi Town to find me! ”
The communication hung up. Oster gasped for breath, thinking back to what he had just heard, and for a moment felt that it made sense, at least much smoother than the Blizzard Chronicles.
He felt a pang in his heart, it couldn't be that he had been brainwashed by the spiritual magic of the Dreadlord Demon King, right?
Hurriedly shook his head desperately, trying to drive the thought out of his mind.
What is burning the revolutionary army, it is simply nonsense. What else did Sargeras say to save Ai Xing, the Holy Light Church is a puppet of the Titans or something, is this Dreaddemon King very open-minded, have you considered writing a novel?
I hope I don't have anything to do with this guy in the future. Oster stood up and looked around, trying to figure out where he was.
On the endless wheat field, the breeze blows, and the wheat waves are like a golden ripple, quickly rowing into the distance.
I remember that after I turned into a bat, I flew towards the rising sun. Given the rising sun in the west and setting in the east, as well as the nearby climate and landscape, there is no doubt that this place is the Wild West.
