Chapter 3: Retrieving the Lost Discipline

"Don't thank me, I'm just getting rid of a vicious beast for the rest of the forest. Go to heaven in peace. ”

Everyone said so, and Duke knew that this short exchange should be over. In his soul state, he placed his right hand on his left shoulder and bowed to Aurelia.

Aurelia nodded, and with a single dodge she quickly disappeared into the woods.

"Whewβ€”" Duke let out a long sigh of relief.

Well, it's time to pick up the lost festival.

Shaking his head, Duke ran to his corpse, and sure enough, he saw the huge boar that had fallen. Two arrows pierced the boar's eyes with great accuracy, piercing the brain, and the third arrow was stuck in the boar's throat.

"Shhhh

What a terrible archery!

Fortunately, I was clever enough just now, otherwise these three arrows would not have shot wild boars.

The system elf's voice rang out again: "You've found your lost discipline, oh, it's the corpse." Is it resurrected now?"

"Please, your joke isn't funny at all. ”

"That'...... Whether to resurrect or not. ”

"Nonsense! Of course resurrection!"

As I clicked 'yes' to the pop-up window in front of me, the scene around me quickly changed. Duke could clearly see that his miserable corpse, which had been disemboweled by a wild boar, immediately turned into a ball of light, and in a matter of seconds, it was completely decomposed, leaving no traces of blood.

All the light began to converge on Duke's soul.

Duke could feel a feeling of incomparable fullness in his body. Crucially, the moral notion that seems to have become diluted has returned.

Lost Temperance is back!

Look at the world that has become colorful again, listen to the birds around you, and smell the earthy aroma that emanates from the earth.

For the first time in his life, Duke felt - it's good to be alive!

I wanted to laugh three times, but unfortunately looking at the labels of 'Soul Power 99' and 'Humanity 99%' in the system prompt, Duke's joy faded again.

"Okay, I'm alive, my journey to the other world has officially begun, right? So, how can I become a strong man enough to protect myself before the [Dark Gate] event comes?"

The goal is clear, and the process is confusing.

"Uh, it seems that before you become a strong man, are there any newbie packs?" The terrible burlap clothes on his body made his body ache, and Duke, who was used to wearing modern industrial clothes, was not used to it.

The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, Duke touched his body, and found that he was not only up and down, penniless, and his pockets were completely empty.

Before he knew it, Duke set his sights on the beast that killed him.

"Such a big wild boar is definitely not a cat or a dog. I remember that the skins peeled in the game can be sold for money, right?"

Immediately, Duke figured out what the problem was.

", do you want me to peel the skin with my bare hands?" had no choice but to give up.

Duke walked away a little frustrated, a little blind for about ten minutes, when suddenly he heard the sound of the creek. Throughout the ages, places where there is water have often been inhabited...... Right?

After a few steps along the river, Duke's foot slipped, and he slipped into the river like this.

Unbeknownst to Duke, who was being swept downstream by the river, Aurelia suddenly appeared next to the dead boar when he reached the river.

For some reason, she instinctively felt that something was wrong, walked for a while, and decided to look back and retrieve the arrows by the way. When she came to the scene, she immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Only the boar and her arrows, the smell of human blood she had smelled just now was gone.

Looking at the traces of fierce struggle on the ground, the Ranger General could definitely determine that there was once a human victim here.

However, there were no corpses, no fragments of corpses, not even traces of blood, no signs of any other creature passing by.

"What the hell is that?" Aurelia smirked in her heart, and then Aurelia smiled, a smile blooming on her beautiful face.

Yes, she's interested.

On the planet Azeroth, which Duke traveled to, it is mainly composed of two continents, the continent of Kalimdor to the west, and the continent of the Eastern Kingdom to the east.

About 9,000 years ago, a group of High Elves were exiled from the continent of Kalimdor to the Eastern Kingdoms because they were unwilling to give up their precious magic. They traveled to Quel'Salas in the northern part of the continent, where they re-established their civilization.

For thousands of years, Quel'Thallas has been considered a place of magical gathering, a magical source called the "Well of the Sun" that provides an inexhaustible source of energy for every High Elf who harnesses the power of nature to gain immortal life and power.

Therefore, the High Elves are a race with immortal life, and it is not a matter of living for 10,000 years.

However, a long life has both advantages and disadvantages.

The upside is that there's endless time to splurge.

The disadvantage is that you have experienced so much that you know almost everything, and you know everything. This is undoubtedly a kind of torture for the 'Windranger' who likes to like new things and likes to wander around.

If it is a state of war, as the ranger general of the High Elf Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, Aurelia certainly cannot leave her post without permission.

But she's on vacation, and she's here after a walk.

"It seems...... Something interesting at last!" Aurelia's beautiful face was filled with an ecstasy dominated by curiosity.

Ranger, an expert in guerrilla warfare, the darling of the forest, and one of the strongest trackers.

Aurelia dodged and jumped on the treetops, and it didn't take much for her to find Duke's footprints.

"Oh, the first footprint was more than forty yards away from where the body was?" Aurelia's smile grew stronger, the expression of finding a fun toy.

Barely touching the ground, the sturdy Ranger General galloped on the branches of large and small trees, and his speed was almost a phantom.

In a few moments, she came to the river.

She lost track of Duke. The creek is full of pebbles, and it is difficult to leave footprints unless you step on it on purpose.

"Oh, and some anti-reconnaissance skills. ”

It is difficult to leave footprints, it does not mean that there will be no footprints at all, and the weight of an adult pressing on the stone floor will still change slightly.

Aurelia followed a few steps, only to find that the footprints had disappeared.

"You can't be stupid enough to be swept away by the water, right?" Aurelia quickly sketched another image in her mind, a mysterious man pretending to go downstream in order to avoid being tracked, but after taking a few steps, he quickly stepped into the deeper water and went upstream.

Aurelia really misunderstood Duke, and at this moment in her heart, she immediately increased Duke's cunning by an unknown number of times. The High Elf's graceful figure suddenly disappeared into the river, and it rushed upstream.
