35. If you are not afraid of a teammate like a pig, you are afraid that a teammate like a pig will become a god-like opponent!
No one knows better than Gao He that the secrets hidden in the world of Azerohi are far more unfathomable than the areas that adventurers have explored and developed so far.
Because of this, when he heard that Momiji and the others, under the strong luck of Miss Long Tsundere, accidentally unearthed a brand new copy through the "Legendary Quest Chain" mentioned by Guò before, he was not too surprised, but after carefully inquiring about the dungeon, he approved the application for team merger and in-depth exploration.
"So far, our exploration of this brand new dungeon has been limited to the lowest areas, but I believe that this dungeon will not be inferior to any of the larger dungeons in the Outlands, and it is very likely that once the exploration reaches a certain stage, a team of only 10 people will not be enough to deal with the next troubles."
Momiji's caution didn't mean that she had overestimated the difficulties she was facing, in fact, when she said the name of the copy, anyone who knew anything about the history of the world of Azerohi would have made the same judgment as her.
That's because, now the two teams of girls are gathering to explore not anywhere else, but the legendary mage tower located on the Windwind Trail, which once served as the center of the entire world of Azerahi and caused the world to surge.
Karazan!
As a legendary archmage and the "last guardian" of the world of Azerohi, the mage tower built by Medivan is said to have broken the boundaries of time and space, and even connected to the deepest depths of the warped void.
Unlike the powerful beings who are generally named "heroes", Medivan's strength. Perhaps he has already surpassed the boundaries of what the term hero can encompass, after all, as a Guardian, he has faced countless enemies, including powerful Elemental Lords, demons from the depths of the Twisted Void, and the Old Gods who dwell deep beneath Azerohi and threaten the safety of this world.
In a lesser-known legend, the leader of the Incineration Legion, the Dark Titan Sargeras, once invaded the world himself, and in that one-on-one battle. Medivan's previous Guardian easily defeated this powerful demon who had crossed the border. and bury its body and will in the deepest part of the Endless Sea.
As a guardian passed down from generation to generation, Medivan has inherited the great power of his predecessor, and his strength has also grown, in his limited combat record. Whether it's demons, dragons, demigods, or heroes who don't think enough to challenge him. The greatest were buried in this Karazhan mage tower. Become the source and nourishment of the endless power of this mage tower.
It's a pity that the darkness hidden by the great power eventually eroded the soul of this guardian, eventually. Fallen Guardian dies in Anduin? Under the sword of Lothar, this evil mage tower has also become a forbidden place, a mysterious realm that no one dares to set foot in.
And now, the female priest Momiji and the others unexpectedly received the legendary task of exploring Karazhan, and I have to admit that this situation really makes Gao He have some doubts in his heart.
However, this doubt did not last long, because soon, he heard a familiar name from the mouths of several girls.
"The NPC that posted the quest is called Egwene?"
"Well, that's the name, what, boy, where have you ever heard of it?"
"No ......"
Gao He shook his head—in fact, it was not accurate to say that he had heard it, because he had really met this woman of unknown age several times.
However, as far as he knew, this Egwene, who was Gianna's spell advisor, should be a high elf, but now he was inexplicably involved with the human guardian, and the deep meaning contained in this was really thought-provoking.
"In short, the exploration work will continue without delaying the level and equipment upgrade, and ...... Deputy Head of Regiment. ”
"What do you command the despicable?"
The ghost crab waiting on the side has long been accustomed to the difference between respect and inferiority, but Gao He is a little uncomfortable with the demeanor of his real-life "elder".
“…… Oh, I mean, please adjust your personnel recently, prepare a strategy for small 10-player team dungeons, improve the overall strength of the team, and prepare for the next 25-player or even 40-player large dungeons. ”
"Rest assured, the contemptible will take care of it."
To be honest, with the help of think tanks and managerial talents such as ghost crabs, human model workers, red leaves, and southeast winds, Gao He, the head of the regiment, has already become dispensable, but he has always considered himself the soul of the team to exist in the role, and these little things do not need to be done by himself, not to mention, at least so far, his prestige in the team is still irreplaceable.
"So, there's one more thing that comes next...... Are any of you planning to participate in this Savage Gladiator Tour? ”
Originally, Gao He just asked casually, because next, he planned to select the strongest and most suitable for him from many girls as teammates, and take this year's gladiator honorific title into his bag, but the development of things was beyond his expectations.
"Huh? Abu, do you want to participate in that too? ”
The warrior girl Xia Lu was the first to pat him on the shoulder.
"A few of us have already filled out the registration form and handed it in."
"Ah, what a coincidence, our side also participated......"
"Wait...... You actually ...... Momiji."
Takawa was shocked - in his plan, the female priestess Momiji was undoubtedly the best role as a healer in the five-person team, and now, this woman had actually formed a team by herself?!
"Didn't you say that the regiment commander told us to fight separately and disperse?"
Gran, the animal trainer, pursed his lips and expressed some dissatisfaction with Gao He's inconsistent behavior.
"By the way, the old lady has already formed a team, and even if she really meets the captain's team in the arena, she will never show mercy!"
"Mercy or something...... Oh yes, you. ...... over there."
"The Arena Squad is Full (Booth Hands)"
Even such a powerful teammate as Yu has been pulled away? So......
"Xiaya, you must not have ...... yet"
"Right...... I'm sorry, Mr. Abu, I didn't think you would choose me......"
The dragon knight girl lowered her head a little uneasily, avoiding Takazu's sad gaze.
"Black cat?"
“kukuku…… I'm waiting for the moment when I can defeat you head-on in the arena. ”
"Long name?! Senpai?! Bilibili?! Zilong?! You guys...... Aren't you all already in your own teams?! ”
"As far as I know, there are no people in the team who have made up the Arena team so far...... Maybe you're the only one left, Abu. ”
The faint tone of the Holy Temper made Gao He feel a chill in his heart for no reason.
"That's right."
On the other side, the death knight named Kill My Brother suddenly spoke.
"Just now, because the head of the regiment did not mention my name, he has already agreed to the invitation of the other team...... It's really disappointing. ”
“……”
It seems like...... I made an irreparable mistake.
I thought that many girls would not be too enthusiastic about this kind of fight-and-kill game that only men would be interested in because of their focus on leveling and upgrading equipment.
Ultimately. Gao He still misestimated the enthusiasm of the girls for this national event. And the other thing that is more important is...... He also greatly underestimated the number of violent PK maniacs in the team.
"I'm in trouble now......"
After repeatedly confirming that the girls were not joking with him but were extremely serious, Gao He had to face the fact that he had a large number of powerful opponents instead of stealing chickens.
And the most important problem at the moment is not this, but the next, he has to be in a short time. Find 4 reliable ones for yourself again. Teammates who can participate in the Gladiator Tour together.
"If the teenager is bothered by the problems of his teammates...... I do have a built-in yì. ”
"Huh? Let's hear it! ”
For the demon sage Momiji. Gao He is both fearful and dependent, after all, this woman's ability to be resourceful is directly proportional to her ability to have a black belly.
"I don't think you necessarily need to assemble a team of five, young man. After all, this gladiator competition, two or a combination of three people can also compete for the honor of gladiator. ”
That's right...... I almost forgot about this!
Gao He, who had been entangled in the number of people, was awakened by a sentence from Momiji and suddenly enlightened.
That's right, this time the Gladiator Tour, it's not just the five-member group that can be awarded the title of Savage Gladiator - in fact, the duo and trio classes will also give birth to the same "Savage Gladiator".
I have to admit that this is the occasional humanization of goblins under the essence of profiteers...... Of course, it may also be because the goblins feel that the number of people is too strict, and the income from the entry fee will be reduced.
Well, at least now Gao He feels that his pressure has been reduced a little, and there is still some time, if there is really no way, he can only find a few pig teammates to make up the numbers, and rely on his own hard power to play a piece of the sky.
After all, the girls gather together, and many of them have not been able to see each other since they came to the Outlands, although the act of chatting through the guò communication channel has hardly been interrupted, but it is still more important to exchange heads and ears face-to-face to enhance the friendship between girls.
As for Gao He, after explaining the follow-up matters, a man wandered around this probably the only entertainment venue in Shattrath City with a wine glass, thinking about how to find his teammates next, and the next steps forward.
Despite the chaos in the Outlands, with orcs, demons, draenei, and the advance forces of the Alliance and Horde from the world of Azerohi, as well as the forces of Kael'thas and Bilidan and others, there is a tendency to rebuild this already shattered world, but at least for now, the people who stay in the city are still in the mood to occasionally come to this elegant inn and bar to enjoy a rare break from adventure.
Since it's clubbing, then, of course, the sister is an indispensable link, for example, now, Gao He saw that a drunken ogre was flirting with a beautiful woman standing by the counter, with a fluttering long skirt and elegant demeanor.
"Come on, little girl, come and have a drink with Uncle Ogre, uncle, I'm ...... I'm the steward of the Circle of Blood Arena! There are gold coins! ”
Shattrath City is actually very well managed, but after all, this is a slum in the old city, and even if the guards patrol diligently, there will always be gaps, and in areas like bars, fights and brawls are common.
However, just when Gao He felt that he couldn't see it, and was about to go up and beat up this drunken ogre, a surprising scene happened.
"Buzz ......"
With the faint fluctuation of energy, Gao He saw that the ogre who was pounced on the woman suddenly froze in the air.
It may not be appropriate to use the word "solidification" to describe it, but in fact, Gao He feels that at this moment, it is more appropriate to use another word "static".
Moreover, that energy fluctuation was all too familiar to Gao He, and because of this, when he looked at the woman who looked calm, he was a little more cautious in his heart.
However, there is no doubt that at this moment, he has already fallen into the other party's field of vision, so soon, a gentle whisper of a woman came from his ear.
"Brave adventurer, how about a drink?" …… (To be continued......)
