Chapter 718: Can’t Think of Anything but Fancy Operations? Elves Want to Livestream Their Fierce Fight in Outlast
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“Race does not dictate honor. People shouldn’t make quick judgements about people different from them.”
This n.o.ble paladin wanted to set an example for his son with his actions and words.
In the days following the trial, Fordring was stripped of the power of the Holy Light. Not wanting his son to know that he was exiled, Fordring lied and said that he had died on the battleground.
Tirion Fordring had only secretly returned to his hometown when his son, Taelan, joined the Order of the Silver Hand. From the distance, he watched his son who had grown into a paladin.
The fallen Prince Arthas betrayed the honor of paladins and disbanded the Order of the Silver Hand after killing Uther. From then on, the Silver Hand was divided into several factions, and the major ones were the Brotherhood of Light, Argent Dawn, and Scarlet Crusade.
Tirion Fordring’s son, Taelan Fordring, had also lost his faith. Disillusioned, he became a puppet of the Scarlet Crusade.
The main character of the quest was a great paladin, but during the quest, the golden griffin knights clearly sensed a father’s deep concern and expectation for his son, which was common in any ordinary family.
Taelan Fordring was a Highlord of the Scarlet Crusade in Hearthglen. From this position by the river, one could see the only road coming out from the Hearthglen. Standing by the river, this old paladin looked at the road from the distance everyday.
At this moment, Commander Elven and other knights of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion who were watching the scene from behind felt something wrenching their hearts.
Senior Fordring begged the players to help him wake up the honor and memories buried deep inside his son.
In quests ‘Of Forgotten Memories’ and ‘Of Lost Honor’, the players must find a toy battle hammer and an old battle flag respectively for Fordring.
Thinking that his father had died, Taelan had buried the toy battle hammer together with his memories about his father. After the death of Uther, the Leader of the Silver Hand, due to Arthas’s betrayal, Taelan thought that the Silver Hand had lost all its honor, which was why he joined the Scarlet Crusade. These two items signified his memories and honor.
The last item was a painting of the happy Fordring Family where Senior Fordring stood with his wife and son.
“For this painting, I must go to…” Commander Elven read the quest introduction. “Stratholme…”
“Ahh-!?” Commander Elven froze.
“Commander… what’s it?”
It was the next day when he came to this stage.
Commander Elven froze for a second and said, “15-people instance… still at raiding stage…”
“Huh…
“I only got half way through the storyline! Can’t you let me finish the quest first?!”
What happened after that? Did Senior Fordring save his son? Can’t you let me get to the end of the story first?!
He almost pa.s.sed out in a fury.
Immediately, he sent a message to some old teammates such as the Healer Dicas, “Are you going to raid today?”
“No.”
“…”
He was feeling very frustrated.
…
“Sir! When will you release Outlast?!” In the early morning, some elves skipped their way to the counter.
Sala felt like her survival skills had greatly improved after the training.
This time, I can finally show off some fancy skills in the game!
After all, she had learned lots of stuff this time! For example, she learned how to conceal her presence from someone stronger than her, how to suddenly attack when she was cornered by chasing enemies, and how to find an opportunity to grab some important figures as hostages.
She even learned some scouting and searching methods! Feeling well-prepared, she was impatient to try the game, Outlast.
“I hope you guys won’t be startled by my amazing skills! Sala thought smugly.
“It’s not released yet! What’s the hurry?!” Mr. Fang rolled his eyes at her, having never seen anyone so eager to play Outlast.
I’m still dreading the training! You must at least wait until I finish my special training!
“Why not?!” Sala was impatient with waiting. “Tell me the exact date that you’ll release it!”
“I don’t know.”
“Ahh-!” She felt like doing beating Mr. Fang. She was finally ready, but the shop owner just wouldn’t release the game.
I plan to livestream my plays!
“Then, I’ll train for a few more days…” Sala and her companions said huffily.
“Forget it!” Elina said, “Should we go back and do some more practice?
“I just came up with an awesome idea!”
“What idea…?” Sala asked curiously.
“The best survival skill is fighting back!” Elina said excitedly, “Just think, since this game is produced by the Ubisoft Workshop, we can… fight our way through it! Use Musou!”
“Killing all your enemies is the best way to survive!” Elina seemed to be proud of her smart idea. “We’ll stun them by our fierce combat techniques!”
“Good! Good!” The elves almost jumped in joy when they heard this idea!
How come you’re so smart!
“Let’s go! We’ll practice for a few more days before we enter the game and use Musou!” These people were planning to shock everyone!
“Sounds great.” Elf Rowling said cheerfully, “Let’s go and practice. We’ll enter the game together and put our fierce battles on livestream!”
The scene would be magnificent!
Elf girls such as Sala and Rowling could think of nothing but fancy operations.
At this moment, Mr. Fang heard his communication jade making a beep and saw a message from Su Tianji.
[Sir.] Su Tianji sent the emoji of a Husky’s cute face. [I watched the trailer of Outlast and found the monsters in it are not very powerful. Do we really need to flee from such monsters?]
[I’m surprised that you thought of this…?]
[What do you mean by surprised that I thought of this?]
I’m very smart, okay?
Mr. Fang said after taking a moment to organize his thoughts, “Different from all the previous games, this game strips you of all methods of resistance, and the main character is an absolutely average person. Even the main characters in Resident Evil have physical conditions far superior than those of average people, so they are not truly average people. This is a game to cultivate player’s minds and willpowers…”
“Strips of… all methods of resistance?” For some unknown reason, Su Tianji s.h.i.+vered.
