Chapter 77 Going Home to Fight
In the following days, Garen had more free time. He visited Drake, teased Jaina, and harassed Kael'thas. However, there was one more person on his visiting list, the newly promoted ninth-level archmage, Kel'Thuzad.
During his visit to Dalaran, there was one attraction that left a deep impression on Garin, and that was the Dalaran Wishing Well.
In his previous life, Garin also knew this place, but the Dalaran in the game was very small, while the Dalaran in front of him was at least a city with a population of more than 100,000 people, covering an area of a small island. Garin had almost toured Dalaran before he discovered the wishing well in the center of the city.
It seemed as if magic was used when this wishing well was built. Three big fish were jumping in the air and were always suspended. On the wall behind was a relief of a high elf. The elf was holding a water bottle in his hand, and spring water was flowing out of the bottle's mouth.
I heard that this wishing well has existed since the establishment of Dalaran, and I don’t know which wizard built this fountain.
I heard that it has a magical function. When you stand by the wishing well, holding coins in your hand, which can be gold coins, silver coins and copper coins, and then empty your mind and make a wish, the coin will be engraved with what you are thinking at that time, and then you can throw the coin into the wishing well.
Perhaps it is because of the magic that Dalaran has existed for thousands of years and it will never be filled. There were also bored mages who tried to unlock its secrets, but they could never figure it out. The bored mages gave up studying this small pool when they were no longer bored.
However, because of the participation of the mage, the residents of Dalaran spread the rumor that they could make a wish come true by throwing a coin, and eventually the Wishing Well became the name of the fountain.
When Jialin discovered this wishing well, he suddenly had an idea and went to the shop next door to buy a fishing rod. I, Jialin, want to catch wishing coins to achieve the achievement today.
As a result, he was chased away by the Dalaran patrol as soon as he took out the fishing rod.
Jialin was very angry.
In my previous life, I could fish however I wanted in Dalaran, so why can’t I do that now?
Today I must go against the wind!
With an idea, Garin decided to spend gold to use the wizard's skills.
After studying the wizard expert training, the wizards of the Arcana Temple can not only greatly improve their health, mana and mana recovery speed, but also gain a new talent skill: invisibility.
He asked Gandalf and Hernie to stay away from him, and he went to the wishing well in stealth, and would not stop until he caught the coin he wanted for making a wish.
One, two, three, hook.
After nearly ten minutes, there was no movement!
Oh no, Jialin thought, my brain is crazy, reality is not a game. After throwing the hook, the float moves after a few seconds and then click the mouse to reel it in to get the fish or the sundries. This kind of situation does not exist in reality.
Since it's invisible, you might as well catch it with your hands.
"I hope my family is safe and healthy."
Oh, it’s a very simple wish. I wish all your wishes come true.
"Holy Light, let me make more money, make more money."
Holy Light rejected the identities of God of Commerce and God of Wealth and asked me to throw your coin back.
"I hope my sisters can grow up with me and get married with me."
This gold coin looks quite old.
Oh wow, I got one that I wanted, keep going!
Garin stayed by the wishing well for the entire afternoon, casting the invisibility spell several times. Gandalf and Herni had already gone back, and were replaced by Varokal and two members of the guards who were guarding in the distance.
Eventually, Garin was reported by a passerby, who claimed that there were supernatural events in the wishing well, where the coins would come up by themselves, and then some of them would jump back into the pool.
The person who came to check was the newly promoted ninth-level archmage Kel'Thuzad. When he first came over, he did not notice Garin. After all, in invisible state, he would not be able to break the invisibility without attacking or casting spells.
However, Kel'Thuzad was more cunning. Garen was too focused on his pursuit and didn't notice that Kel'Thuzad was behind him. Kel'Thuzad directly released a Frost Nova. Fortunately, he controlled his mana output just to test whether there were any invisible units around.
Garen still showed up on his own initiative, mainly for Kel'Thuzad's face. It would not be easy for him to slip away quietly, and also because he found the coins he wanted.
But before leaving, Garin took out a gold coin, held it in his hand, stood on the edge of the pool, and without paying attention to Kel'Thuzad, he cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and closed his eyes.
In my mind, I seemed to see the dilapidated walls of Stromgarde, the abandoned castle and houses. The city was filled with ogres and Syndicate thieves, and only one in ten Highlanders was left.
Then the scene changed. There was jubilation in the city of Lordaeron, while in the palace, the king who was waiting for the prince to return was stabbed through the heart by his son.
In the next scene, a huge human figure appeared in Dalaran, roaring angrily, and cast a spell to make a model of Dalaran appear in his hand. Then he clenched his palms hard, and the model shattered. The newly built city of Dalaran in Hillsbrad Foothills exploded violently and turned into ruins in an instant.
Jialin opened his eyes instantly, his eyes full of determination. Even if the road ahead was bumpy and the enemy was powerful, he was determined to change this predetermined fate.
Then he looked down and saw that the fist mark that originally belonged to Stromgarde on the gold coin in his hand had disappeared, and a line of words appeared on the smooth gold coin.
"Stronghold will last forever, and Azeroth will be at peace and prosper."
Square characters, Chinese.
Everything was done in a flash. Garin threw the gold coin into the wishing well.
"I don't think so, Garin. You have also heard the legend of Dalaran. Do you also believe that the wishing well can fulfill wishes?"
Garen and Kel'Thuzad turned and left together. He said casually, "After all, this is my first time in Dalaran. I don't have to spend too much money anyway, so I'll just have some faith. Master, you've been in Dalaran for many years. Have you ever made a wish here?"
"I only believe in the truth, and in my world, the truth is the endless arcane knowledge. I will keep searching on the path of magic!"
Kel'Thuzad spoke very enthusiastically, and Garen believed that he really thought so now. However, he did not think so when he was a mage apprentice more than ten years ago.
Garin turned sideways and looked at Mr. Kel'Thuzad. Kel'Thuzad was a little surprised to see Garin stop.
Garin opened his arms and gave Kel'Thuzad a big hug. From behind, Garin could see that he had a few coins tightly clenched in his palms.
"Sometimes, I really wish someone could give me a long hug. I lack love."
—Kel'Thuzad
…………
The vacation was over, and Garin gathered the troops and prepared to return to the eastern part of the kingdom.
There was a piece of fat meat there, and he had been thinking about it for a long time. He waited patiently for two months, just for a wave of soldiers to burst out and eat this piece of fat meat with certainty.
In the past two months, Garen has been leisurely living in the city of Dalaran, playing with the little loli, practicing martial arts with his new best friend Drake, and going to check in at Kael'thas to make himself familiar with him.
Drake is worthy of being the most outstanding heir of Kul Tiras. At the age of sixteen, he has already entered the eighth level. Perhaps in a few years' war between orcs, he will be able to enter the ninth level.
Garin was able to break through to the eighth level only because of the support of tens of thousands of people in the base. Otherwise, if he had practiced diligently according to his talent, he might have needed to wait until adulthood to break through to the eighth level like Drake.
But I have cheated, hey.
However, while Garen was taking a leisurely vacation, Omar and others far away in Helm's Deep and Aragorn who was stationed in Deadbeard Gorge were not having an easy time.
The Deadwood Village sent more than a dozen waves of messengers to seek help from Shadrano of Hinterland. Although most of them were intercepted, a long-term defense will lead to a loss, and one team of messengers broke through the defense line.
Although the pursuit was carried out in time, the forest troll lived up to his name and ran in the forest as if it were flat ground, ignoring the obstruction of various bushes and rocks. Finally, one troll escaped Aragorn's pursuit.
When Garin received the news in Dalaran, he didn't take it seriously. Asking for help was useless; it couldn't change the fate of the destruction of Deadwood Village.
Shadrano did not dare to send out a large-scale army. Did he really think that the regular armies of the Kingdom of Stromgarde were just decorations? Naturally, the kingdom's army would help Garin intercept the large reinforcements. When the small reinforcements came, Garin was so happy that he ate them as dessert after dinner.
After Varokal gathered the team, they prepared to go to the eastern dock of Dalaran, ready to take a boat to the Hillsbrad area, and then find a secluded corner and let Gandalf perform a group teleportation.
"Big brother, if you have time, come and play with me. Bring me some lollipops and cakes!"
Drake came to see them off with young Jaina, and Garin and Drake gave each other a big hug and wished each other well:
I wish you can achieve the ninth level soon!
At the same time, Garin gave Drake the last teleportation scroll he brought with him and asked him to carry it with him.
The scroll was improved by Gandalf. Gandalf drew a protective magic circle on the main scroll, as well as an automatic activation magic circle. As long as it is subjected to a fatal attack, the shield will be automatically activated, and the shield will then drive the activation of the magic circle and activate the return scroll.
It’s still a little early to give Drake this life-saving item now, but we are all friends, so give it to him as soon as possible to keep him safe!
Garin collected the coordinate axis himself. When the return scroll is activated, it can make the user invincible. I hope Drake can save his life in the future.
