Stormwind...... It's a little different from what Duke imagined.

The game's huge white walls of Stormwind City, the majestic music that comes from the gates, and the statues of the five heroes on both sides of the avenue full of explosive power, give people the first impression of blowing up the sky.

But Stormwind at this time feels ordinary to Duke.

The 24-foot wall was clearly unrepaired, and Duke could see some cracks in the wall. The towering towers, with their walls peeling off in large chunks, are doubtful how long they can be carried when attacked by trebuchets.

As a mage, you naturally have privileges. There was no need to follow the people in the long line to enter the city, and the convoy entered directly from the other side of the door.

Entering through the huge gate hole, Duke did not find the huge moat behind the walls, nor did he find the inner walls.

Seeing this, Duke couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

For Stormwind City at this moment, this is the first time it has encountered a foreign enemy in nearly a thousand years. Scattered monsters simply cannot threaten the center of this human kingdom. Fortunately, the warriors of Stormwind City still have strong combat power under the tutelage of Anindo Lothar, otherwise Stormwind Kingdom is just a flashy and huge empty shell.

Even so, the Stormwind Kingdom is still a giant in deep sleep, unaware that his hands and feet have been corrupted by something called 'noble'. Only under the test of blood and fire did the Storm Kingdom, which was almost completely wiped out, usher in a new life after withstanding the first orc war.

The thought of such a huge human city about to be destroyed by war is not pleasant to feel like everyone is drunk and I am alone.

Beside him, Danielle and Itana, two guys who had never seen the world, had opened their mouths wide enough to fit an egg in their mouths.

The difference in the reactions of the three of them made Old Man Norton feel amused, and he asked Duke, "What? Stormwind has let you down?"

"I didn't ...... Well, yes. My impression of Stormwind City is supposed to be a 50-foot-tall white outer wall, the walls are covered with the Union emblem with blue background and gold edges, and there is a 100-foot-wide inner lake as a moat inside the outer city wall......" Duke used the standard length unit of this world to say the Stormwind City in his impression, but he didn't know that at this moment, a big man patrolling the city wall unconsciously heard all this. The big man looked thoughtful as he glanced at the terrain inside the city walls.

The carriage drove all the way through the bustling streets, and after getting rid of the hustle and bustle of the trade area, the convoy quickly crossed a small river and entered the mage district where the Royal Family Magic Academy was located.

As soon as he crossed the bridge, Duke heard an explosion.

"Exploded again?"

"This time it's the laboratory of a mid-level mage in Barral. ”

"Damn, a high wall should be built, and the citizens of the trade zone are scared all day long. ”

Through the windows of the carriage, Duke saw that the guards of Stormwind were routinely dispatching men, some to maintain order, some to put out fires, and a few to the church square to call for a priest who knew how to heal.

"Uh, this...... Just get used to it. Old man Norton was embarrassed either.

Duke suddenly felt that the mages were a bunch of strange people who were going farther and farther down the road to death.

Well, thinking that he would soon be part of this strange group, Duke suddenly lost his mood.

"Luckily, there's still great goblin engineering in the world in front of you......" Duke muttered to himself.

Well, it's the little green-skinned people who are only thigh-high enough to make explosions when they tinker with mechanical products.

It's very different from the game. Stormwind in this timeline is home to a huge magic academy. The 10-meter-high iron door inlaid with pure gold patterns is larger than the gates of many colleges and universities before Duke crossed.

On the square made of pure white marble tiles, Old Man Norton was the first to get out of the car.

"All right, lads and girls, here we are. The old man pointed to a library-like house on the edge of the square: "Go in and report." Your documents have been delivered one step ahead of schedule. Inside...... There's going to be a troublesome dorm keeper who's going to play a little game with you. If you win, you'll get an extra prize. That's all I can say, good luck to you. ”

The old man's eyes rolled: "As for you, Duke." After arranging the dorm, you came to my lab, and it was about the things you exchanged with me. ”

"Yes, Master Norton. "When outsiders are around, Duke must not be less courteous to the old man. After all, the old man's qualifications and identity are there.

Ascending the nine stairs, the three Duke entered the 'library'. They didn't see anyone, but there was no one in the huge, hollow hall.

The huge glass spheres hanging from the ceiling emitted a soft light that was brighter than the candle flames, which made Duke ring energy-saving lamps or something.

"Here...... Oh here!"

The three Duke were taken aback, especially the less timid Itana, who let out an exclamation.

Because, the oil paintings on the walls of the hall moved, and the people in the paintings beckoned to Duke and them.

Obviously, there are so many pictures of the same guy with a brown hood who can't see his face clearly.

"Hello, I'm the dormitory administrator of the Wang Family Magic Academy, 'Raven'. Well, a harmless ghost of humans and animals. I think the mage who brought you here should have told you about me. ”

The three Duke shook their heads like rattles at the same time.

"Didn't you say that? Oh my God, who led the team? What a wicked guy that almost scared my lovely juniors. ”

Not a handicap...... It's already scared!

Duke could clearly feel that Itana's ten little fingers had grabbed his left arm like iron hooks. It made his left arm ache.

"Well, if you're scared, be scared. Anyway, this is the Wang Family Magic Academy, not a library, so a really brave guy is only worthy of being a librarian. With that, he beckoned, and the three young men were involuntarily sucked into three different oil paintings.

I felt a trance, just like when I crossed over, the jolting feeling of crossing the space made Duke extremely uncomfortable.

Coming back to his senses, Duke found himself in the middle of a void. Surrounded by twinkling stars, in front of him was a huge chessboard large enough for Duke to do eighteen somersaults in front of him, and then thirty-six times to the side without falling.

The black and white grid indicates that this is a standard chess board.

However, what is on the chessboard is special.

It was a huge chess piece arranged neatly on two sides, each one about two people tall.

On the left is the human-looking Confederate side, and on the right is the more tribal-like orc side.

Duke suddenly remembered a level in the game, the chess level in Karazhan, the nest of the Guardian Medivan!
