[Brothers, come to the voice channel, there are professional commands! 234xxxx]

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

But supporters continue to come in droves.

This is partly because today is Wednesday, the last night before the raid CD is updated.

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

In addition, the "three-season rice" is a hated enemy, notorious and everyone wants to kill it.

This led to this crusade.

But up to now, no one cares what the cause was, or where Sanjidao, the mage who killed the small trumpet, is.

All I know is that anyone who can see the health bar must die!
Ge Shengli looked at the prompts that kept popping up and the honor points he gained, and exclaimed that it was so exciting.

Even though he had experienced multiple deaths and his equipment was in tatters, he still charged into the battlefield again without hesitation.

As I was fighting with my blood boiling, the ringing sounded in my ears again.

When I looked again, another call came in.

Ge Shengli was a little dissatisfied. I am fighting hard for the glory of the alliance. What do you mean by keeping calling me?
Hang up again.

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

In the end, both sides became 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?

I asked within the team.

Only then did I know about a setting in the game.

The Alliance and the Horde each have three main cities.

Massacre of a city does not mean literally killing everyone in the city.

Instead, kill the leader of the main city!

The goal of the Horde is to defeat Bolvar Fordragon, the leader of Stormwind, 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 Undercity.

Listening to it, I feel my blood boiling.

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

How cool!
Isn't this a decapitation operation?

Just as they were about to enthusiastically follow the commander's orders to gather and prepare, they were poured a bucket of cold water.

[Brother, you can't go here, right? There's no mount. By the time you run over there, the battle will be over.]

[And your equipment level is too low, even if you go there it won't help. Just a small AOE will kill you before you can heal yourself.]

Ge Shengli instantly wilted.

I could only withdraw from the team helplessly and listen to the young and somewhat immature voice of the commander in the team directing the battle.

Why.
Sighed.

exit the game.

He did not exit completely, but went to a small house decorated in a very cozy style.

Then, I saw the reminder of 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, a somewhat puzzled question was asked.

"what?"

"There was a massacre in World of Warcraft today. I arrived at the game cabin too late and I'm not at a high enough level to go."

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

Ge Shengli said unhappily, "You can't just buy it and not play it, that would be a waste of money."

There was a mixture of laughter and tears on the phone.

"Dad, this is not 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 call ended and there was a knock on the cabin door.

"Dad, I'm coming in."

Seeing his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for almost half a year, come in, Ge Shengli realized that
This thing is called a game cabin, but it's more than just a game console.

My daughter bought it for herself, perhaps not for playing games.

But in order to meet through this medium
The mobile phone can play videos, but it can only be viewed.

In the virtual space of the game cabin, you can chat, see each other's movements, and even have a virtual family dinner, just like meeting in real life.

This is the original purpose.

Seeing her father like this, Ge Jing felt both angry and amused.

It’s okay to let my old father become an internet addict.

No, it’s the middle-aged and elderly people who are addicted to the Internet.

The two chatted for a while.

Under the pretext of taking a break, Ge Shengli hurriedly logged off.

Ge Jing was not in a hurry to leave, she knew the situation too well.

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

really!

Secretly online!

It's exactly the same as when we were young, agreeing to finish this little work, then rest and work all night!
【dad!!!!】

With a few exclamation marks to emphasize the tone.

Ge Shengli’s profile picture dimmed again, and he did not log in again this time.

The next day.

Apart from eating and drinking, most of the time is spent 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 too different from the real thing. There is no comparison except that they are both called fishing.

But it's enough to satisfy your craving.

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

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

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

Human imagination can never exist independently of reality.

Every story has 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 and taking over the throne.

But they are not exactly the same.

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

The character is based on parts of Celtic mythology, medieval unofficial history, and the history of the British kings.

The best-known story comes from Thomas Malory's 15th-century novel The Morte d'Arthur.

"King Arthur's name Athur is a bit similar to Arthas' 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 blonde 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 their swords. 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 Undead Scourge trains Death Knights.

Avalon is where King Arthur's soul returned after his death, and New Avalon is where the Death Knight was reborn.

Is this a coincidence?
Ge Shengli touched his chin.

“This production team is quite interesting.”

Suddenly I had an urge.

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