Chapter 36: Hogg
Duke's Little Life...... It's not worth the money!
Duke's Discipline...... It's also worth a few bucks.
Duke's oath is still somewhat effective.
Duke felt a tremor come from the deepest recesses of his heart, and once again he felt the prank of fate after entering the world of Azeroth: the four Windranger sisters or something was enough of talking nonsense. Now even the magic system has a strong sense of crossover.
However, magic is magic.
Almost as soon as Duke opened the note, he could already feel the mysterious resonance between himself and these magic.
It was like a sense of identity, a more circumstantial way of thinking that entered his mind. At that moment, it was as if the definition of 'mage' that had been solidified in the game had produced the most eye-catching chemical reaction.
Once upon a time in Duke's mind, mages only represented ranged turrets with high attack power and the strongest field control class. However, at this moment, it seemed that there was a brightest light that illuminated his spiritual sea, and in this light a door opened.
It was as if he had passed through this door and seen so much more than he could think of.
Before he knew it, a list of spells popped up in his head.
All magic is reclassified:
There are nine categories: Protection, Spells, Prophecy, Enchantment, Plasticity, Illusion, Necromancy, Change, and General.
Most of the categories are still hazy and pitch black.
But after all, it represents more possibilities.
This is not just an illusion that dissipates in the most brief moments, but a pioneering spirit that breaks the rules of Azeroth's magic. Even with this magic classification table, it can be repeatedly called up in the horizon through the system sprite.
Duke also found one thing, whether it was the [Flame Explosion Technique] and [Ice Arrow] at the beginning, or the current [Dasong's Quenching Prison] and other spells, it seemed that the spells that were only related to his previous time crossing would be greatly enhanced.
In spells related to fire and ice, a bunch of thermodynamic calculation formulas popped up by the system are just counted.
Even the [Mage's Hand], which should have been classified as level 0, that is, the trick class, has been greatly strengthened.
The reason for the reinforcement made Duke speechless.
"Detects that there is a large amount of [motion capture] technology in the host's memory, is typing and improving the corresponding rules...... The thought propagation node has been preset in the [Mage's Hand] magic, and it is estimated that the [Mage's Hand] flexibility will be increased by 180% and the strength will be increased by 230%. Your Mage's Hand Magic Advancement ...... The rank is unknown, and it is expected to exceed level 2 ......"
The so-called motion capture, before Duke crossed, was most widely known for filming. By attaching dozens of trackers to key parts of the actor's face, the muscle movements of the entire face can be converted into data that can be processed by a computer, such as the measurement of dimensions, the positioning of objects in physical space, and the determination of orientation.
Unexpectedly, this can be reversed by the system wizard.
Right in front of Macaro, Duke snapped his fingers.
After a "snap", in front of a kind of mercenary, a magic palm the size of a human hand with a pale blue glow appeared out of thin air.
The vision startled the mercenaries, who, despite their horror, quickly raised their swords.
However, they immediately came to their senses and found the source of their tremors, for the 'ghost hand' floating in the air had the exact same movements as Duke's right hand.
They finally understood that it was Duke who had let him go.
A gentle smile bloomed on Duke's face: "Macaro, thank you for your generous gift, I owe you a favor. ”
Macaro quickly recovered from his shock: "No, no, no, Dear Lord Marcus, for me, my son is my priceless treasure. You can be satisfied with my return gift, that is the greatest comfort to me. ”
The so-called human relations are often like this.
After a back and forth, the relationship between the employer and the employee, which was originally a little indifferent and estranged, also quickly heated up because of this small episode.
At Duke's insistence, Macaro was willing to leave out the word 'Your Excellency' in private and call Duke Marcus.
Before you know it, it's night.
Coming into this world, Duke still has all kinds of unaccustomedness. Everything in this world is so primitive, and after nightfall, there is almost no light.
There was no moonlight, and only the dull yellow of the western wilderness could be faintly seen in the range of the firelight.
The convoy was camped on the leeward side of a hill, and after a meal, only one or two campfires and night watchmen were left in the makeshift camp, and everyone fell asleep.
In a quiet and dark environment, Duke should have fallen asleep quickly, but the strange scenery around him made it impossible for Duke to sleep.
Duke began to review the few spells he had.
Just then, Duke suddenly overheard a conversation between the two night watchmen.
"Caron, did you hear a sound?"
"Something seems to be approaching. ”
Almost at the same time, Duke heard a hint from the system sprite.
"Host! Detected a large number of life signals judged to be dangerous...... The enemy is judged to be a gnoll! number...... Fifty, sixty...... Hundred...... One hundred and seventy ......"
In the darkness in the distance, countless dwarf shadows approached the place silently at high speed.
"Enemy attack-" The mournful and loud cry of the night watchman woke up all the mercenaries who were sleeping.
"Oh-hell, it's Hogg-"
"Oh my God, it's really Hogg!"
The name Hogg seems to have a terrifying magic that makes people shudder.
People who grew up in the Elwyn Forest are often awakened by the howls of the gnolls, because no matter how powerful the humans have become, whether they have become masters of the Elwyn Forest in the actual sense of the word, they cannot forget the nightmare of the Elwyn Forest, Hogg.
The dark memories brought to them by the giant gnolls who roamed the southern part of Westspring Fortress. Legend has it that the name 'Hogg' was simply a code name given to this or this vein of gnolls. It's not clear what the life span of a gnolls is, but the people of the Elwyn Forest always call the leader of the largest gnolls Hogg.
Legend has it that Hogg was twice as large as a normal gnoll, that his claws could easily tear an infantry shield in half, and that his strong legs could easily catch up with poor adventurers who tried to escape.
But these are just legends, because no one can come back alive after actually facing Hogg.
If you count the most famous and powerful villains in the vicinity of Stormwind, Hogg has already dominated the headlines of Stormwind's bulletin boards, and almost all adventurers who have been tempted by the bounties set by Stormwind have died at his feet.
Now, Hogg is here, with his army of gnolls!
