Chapter 404 Mythology Archaeology

[Brothers, come to the voice channel, there is a professional conductor! 234xxxx]

Alliance players' main activities are near Stormwind City and Ironforge. The journey to this battlefield is not short and time-consuming.

But there is still a steady stream of supporters.

Part of the reason for this is because today is Wednesday, the last night before the group book CD is updated.

Without guild activities, many players would have nothing to do.

In addition, "Three Season Rice", a hated enemy, was notorious and everyone wanted to kill it.

That's how this crusade came about.

It's just that until now, no one cares about the cause or where San Jidao, the mage who kills trumpets, is.

All I know is that anyone who can see the blood bar will die!

Ge Shengli looked at the prompts that kept popping up and the honor points he received, and he was extremely satisfied.

Even though his equipment was in tatters after experiencing many deaths, he still went to the battlefield again without hesitation.

Just as his blood was boiling, the bell rang again in his ears.

Looking again, another call came in.

Ge Shengli is a little dissatisfied. I am fighting bloody battles for the glory of the alliance. What do you mean by calling me all the time?

Hang up again.

He didn't know how long this battle lasted. He only remembered that the phone hung up countless times.

In the end, both sides got angry.

The leader gave the order.

withdraw!

Get ready and then massacre the city!

Hearing these two words, Ge Shengli took a breath.

Can this game still be played like this?

Asked within the team.

Only then did I know a setting in the game.

Each of the Alliance tribes has three main cities.

Massacre does not mean massacre of the city in the literal sense.

Instead, kill the leader of the main city!

The goal of the Horde is to defeat Bolvar Fordragon, the leader of Stormwind City, Magni Bronzebeard, the leader of Ironforge, and Tyrande, the leader of Darnassus.

The alliance's goal is to defeat Thrall, the leader of Orgrimmar, Cairne Bloodhoof, the leader of Thunder Bluff, and Sylvanas, the leader of the Undercity.

Listening to it, I feel like my blood is boiling.

Rush into the opponent's main city, kill the enemy camp leader, and then leave in style.

How cool!

Isn't this a beheading operation?

Just as he was about to follow the commander's orders to gather and prepare with great interest, he was poured cold water on him.

[Brother, you can’t go here, can you? I don’t even have a mount, the battle will be over when you run over on foot】

[And the level of your equipment is too low. You won’t be able to help if you go there. Just a small AOE and you will die before you have time to increase blood]

Ge Shengli instantly withered.

I had no choice but to quit the team and listen to the young and somewhat green voice of the team leader directing the battle.

Why.

Sighed.

exit the game.

He did not exit completely, but arrived at a small house decorated in a very warm style.

Then, I saw the reminder from the game cabin.

The call came again.

This time I chose to connect.

"Hello? Dad, why don't you answer the phone?"

"Why didn't you buy it earlier?" Ge Shengli couldn't help but complain a little.

Then there was silence on the phone.

A few seconds later, there was a somewhat puzzled question.

"ah?"

"Today we are massacring a city in World of Warcraft. I came to the game cabin too late and I am not level enough to go."

On the phone, my daughter's voice hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "But Dad, don't you like playing games?"

Ge Shengli said angrily: "I bought it all, so I can't stop playing it. Isn't that a waste of money?"

I couldn't laugh or cry for a while on the phone.

"Dad, this is more than just a tool for playing games. Please accept my application."

[Do you accept Ge Jing’s visit application? After accepting, the other party can enter your cabin. 】

accept.

Then the phone was hung up and there was a knock on the door of the cabin.

"Dad, I'm in."

When he saw his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for almost half a year, walking in, Ge Shengli realized, yes

This thing is called a game cabin, but it’s not just a game console.

My daughter bought it as a gift for herself, maybe not just for playing games.

But to use this medium to meet each other

You can play videos on your phone, but you can only watch them.

In the virtual space of the game cabin, you can chat, see each other's movements, and even have a virtual family dinner, as if you are actually meeting each other.

This is the original purpose.

Seeing her father like this, Ge Jing was both angry and funny.

It’s okay to turn an old father into an Internet-addicted teenager.

No, they are middle-aged and elderly people who are addicted to the Internet.

The two chatted for a while.

As an excuse to take a rest, Ge Shengli hurriedly logged off.

Ge Jing was not in a hurry, she understood too well.

Sure enough, five minutes later, the Ge Shengli Online logo lit up again.

really!

Go online secretly!

It's exactly the same as when I was young and promised to rest after finishing this work and then stay up all night!

【dad! ! ! ! 】

With a few emphatic exclamation points.

Ge Shengli's profile picture went dark again, and this time he did not log in again.

The next day.

Except for eating and drinking, I basically spent all my time in World of Warcraft.

Ge Shengli also discovered many interesting little ways to play.

For example, fishing.

The feeling of fishing in the game is very different from that in reality. There is no comparison at all except that they are both called fishing.

But it’s enough to get addicted to handcrafting.

Even in my spare time, I paid attention to the background story of the Warcraft series.

It would have been better if I hadn't paid attention to it, but I was immediately attracted.

Especially the transformation of the character Arthas in the story, a classic story of the prince's fall from grace.

Human imagination can never exist independently of reality.

Any story must have its origin.

The first thing that came to Ge Shengli's mind was Sophocles' play "Oedipus Rex", a story about a son killing his father to replace the throne.

But it's not exactly the same.

At the same time, he also thought of a classic character story - King Arthur.

This character comes from part of Celtic mythology, medieval unofficial history and the history of British kings.

The well-known story comes from Thomas Malory's novel "The Death of King Arthur" in the 15th century.

"King Arthur's name Athur is a bit similar to Arthas's name Arthas. If this is a coincidence, then King Arthur's father Uther and Arthas's master Uther have the same name Uther. Is this also a coincidence? King Arthur and Arthas both have blond hair and blue eyes. Blonde hair is common, but blue eyes are a rare eye color. Jaina left Arthas, and Guinevere left King Arthur. Arthas pulled out Frostmourne, and King Arthur pulled out the Sword in the Stone. Both became kings after pulling out the sword. Hmm? Wait."

Ge Shengli's eyes lit up.

Some more information was found on the official website.

There is a very inconspicuous small map on the official website, called New Avalon, which is one of the places where the Scourge trains death knights.

Avalon is where King Arthur's soul returns after his death, and New Avalon is where the death knight is reborn.

Is this a coincidence?

Ge Shengli touched his chin.

"This production team is interesting."

Suddenly there was an impulse.

Make a video of the research on the cultural background of the game and post it!

Let the players know that you are not just exploring in a virtual world.

As for the name of the video, let's call it Mythology Archaeology. (End of this chapter)
