Many assassin players resonated with what Sala said.
For example, Assassin Harrison began to boast about his survival skills of his earlier life. After all, this game was named 'Outlast'!
"I once got away from a level 9 master!" Harrison said excitedly.
Although he couldn't talk about his assassinations of the high-level officials of the Judgement Godly Palace, this man could reveal some of his survival skills."I always took shelter in the filthy places since I was sure that those lofty people wouldn't even expect me to hide in those places in their dreams..."
"Hey... !" Beside him, another assassin reached over and covered his mouth.
"Um... Hahaha! Anyway, we excel in this area!" Harrison laughed heartily.
After the reputation of assassins turned from that of a dirty job to a great profession, Harrison began to wonder about the imminent game named Outlast.
Is it possible that these survival skills will also become great abilities?!
Elina rolled her eyes at Harry and then told the elves, "Don't listen to him. I'm way better in this than him. I'm the best expert in fleeing elegantly from the most dangerous places and angering your enemies during the process!"
"Really?!" Many members of the Snow Pigeon Team were intrigued.
If they could do some homework and get prepared before the release of the game named 'Outlast', they might be able to progress quickly after they entered the game, right?
For example, these people had been wondering why New Snow, the girl who usually teamed with them in the game, and the tauren with the ID 'Young Master Song' and his buddies were so sharp. Sala was envious of them whenever she watched them play, and she thought that it was necessary to get some training in these skills, so she could show-off her own abilities when they began playing Outlast.
"Should we go outside of the city and have a special training for Outlast this evening after we finish with World of Warcraft?" Sala suggested.
"No problem!" Elina said excitedly, "I will teach you the secret to hiding your presence and magic energy in the body!"
"Me too! I want to learn it too!" A big white deer lifted its front hooves and yelled.
This deer's teammates always said that it was dumb when they played games together. If it could do some preparation and learn the advanced skill of hiding its presence and magic energy, it felt like it could lord over other players when it began playing Outlast!
...
In a corner not far from them, some golden griffin knights were standing behind their commander and watching him play.
"Isn't this man just an old farmer? Is he really one of the five paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand?!" Helen exclaimed while she watched the old man's self-narration on the screen.
During the first war in World of Warcraft, to fight the invading orcs and deal with the fact that warriors couldn't heal themselves in battles, Archbishop Alonsus Faol decided to create a new class which combined the abilities of warriors and priests - Paladin. Together with his disciples, he established the Knights of the Silver Hand and entrusted it to one of his apprentices, Uther the Lightbringer. This order later became the famous Silver Hand.
In other words, the Silver Hand was the first paladin order in the world. Naturally, the first five paladins at the beginning of the Silver Hand had special meaning for paladin players.
"Commander... you discovered such a great existence in the suburbs of the Eastern Plaguelands?!" One of the golden griffin knights couldn't believe his eyes."Is it real... ?"
An insignificant and dejected farmer living reclusively in the Eastern Plaguelands?!
"Commander, how did you find him?!" Helen gasped in a low voice as if she had discovered a new world.
Subconsciously, she felt like the situation wasn't as simple as it looked.
"I got lost in the spider cave and then... I came here after walking through the cave..." Commander Elven obviously was also puzzled.
"Let's see what else this paladin needs?!" Impatiently, they wanted to watch how this quest would continue.
In fact, in the world where Fang Qi lived prior to his travel through space and time, players who hadn't played World of Warcraft would still know Tirion Fordring if they had played a game named Hearthstone.
"Race does not dictate honor, Human." Helen followed the route that Commander Elven mentioned and found this paladin as well.
"While you remain on my farmstead, I ask that you remember and respect this credo. I have known orcs who have been as honorable as the most noble of knights and humans who have been as vile as the most ruthless of Scourge. But I shall not bore you with tales of my youth! There is much work to be done - if that is what you desire." Helen soon heard the instruction from this paladin.
Obviously, this was a neutral quest that could be completed by both Alliance and Horde players.
Of course, this man didn't trust the players at the beginning and didn't tell them some of the past events until these knights did some favors for this reclusive old man.
The players got the remaining parts of the story from other people. Bit by bit, they finally put together the complete and special event in the past.
"I, Tirion Fordring, was exiled for treason."
This old man seemed to have returned to the past when he recalled the period where he was young and arrogant. Once, Fordring found a reclusive orc and fought him fiercely. Then, the ruins of a nearby tower collapsed, and Fording, who had been engrossed in the battle, was caught off guard and buried in the debris.
When Fordring woke up, he found himself lying in his own bed, and the captain of his guards told him that the rescue team found him unconscious on the back of his horse a few days ago. Fordring tried to recall what had happened and surprisingly realized that the person who had rescued him from the ruins must have been the orc. After he recovered, Fordring followed the clues in his memory and found the orc named Eitrigg.
The Alliance and Horde had always met each other with weapons, but at this moment, the two heroes appreciated each other and became friends.
But soon, the Alliance found out the orc's whereabouts. When Fordring got the news, the orc had been brought to the city and was tortured inhumanely.
Of course, Fordring couldn't stand back and watch, which was why he was sent to the court with the crime of treason.
His wife and previous friends all tried to convince him to place all the blame on the orc.
Of course, this quest included more than listening to this old man's memories.
The quest's name was 'Of Love and Family'.
On one hand, Fordring did it to show respect to this orc with great virtues. On the other hand, he wanted to set an example as a father. He hoped that his seven-year-old son would learn from his noble virtues instead of despicable behaviors.
