Traveling through the game world

Lordaeron in the height of summer is destined to be the most bustling kingdom on the continent of Azeroth. During this period, it seems that all the storylines on the entire continent of Azeroth are concentrated in this originally powerful kingdom.

"Arthas, my friend, I think I'm going crazy with all these parties every day!" Lian Yang, who had rarely taken off his military uniform and put on a standard, luxurious medieval nobleman's outfit, was full of complaints. World of Warcraft was the most mentally exhausting world he had ever been to.

Arthas smiled warmly on his handsome face and said, "Viscount Lianyang, I think as a nobleman, you must adapt to this environment, although I know you are still a warrior at heart!"

That's right. After all, Lian Yang helped Arthas successfully eliminate the Blood Mountain Bandits and the powerful Blackrock Tribe entrenched in the south of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. In particular, the elimination of the Blackrock Tribe completely removed a major threat to the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

In addition, Lian Yang had twelve terrifying black dragons under his command, along with twelve powerful dwarven musketeers, and his own formidable strength. Therefore, despite Lian Yang's relatively low contribution, King Terenas of Lordaeron still granted him a noble title, starting as a viscount.

Medieval European peerage was not much different from that in China, with the highest ranks being duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron, with duke being the highest and baron the lowest.

Although the viscount is only the second to last rank of nobility, in fact, as long as one is a nobleman, one will have a fiefdom. The fiefdom is the foundation of a nobleman. Taking the Warring States period as an example, although the seven states of the Warring States each claimed the title of king, in essence, the seven states of the Warring States were all just barons and viscounts.

Although Lian Yang is powerful, he is not considered top-tier in the entire world of Azeroth. He is even somewhat inferior to Uther. But there's nothing he can do about it, given that Lian Yang has twelve black dragons and a particularly good relationship with Arthas.

King Terenas of Lordaeron's thinking was simple: since Lian Yang had a good relationship with Arthas, then he should let Lian Yang assist Arthas. Now that Lian Yang had been given a high-ranking position and generous salary, he would surely be devoted to Arthas in the future. It could be said that the old king's calculations were quite meticulous.

"Viscount my ass!" Lian Yang sighed and sat down on a rock, saying impatiently, "It's a real hassle for an adventurer like me to have a title, especially since I'm too lazy to manage my fiefdom!"

In fact, Lian Yang's obsession with power is natural, but as for the power over Azeroth? Come on, let's forget about it. This world is hardly ever peaceful. It's as if the heavens think the world isn't chaotic enough. All sorts of enemies and disasters swarm towards this world. Horde wars, undead swarms, the Scourge, the Burning Legion, Deathwing and other terrifying calamities have never brought a moment of peace to the continent of Azeroth.

The nobles of Azeroth were truly nobles; they were capable of governing the country and bringing prosperity, and of conquering the world on horseback. To put it bluntly, the conditions in this world simply did not allow the vast majority of nobles to engage in prostitution. They were risking their lives; prostitution was a sure way to die.

"I knew you couldn't stay still, so I'm going to take you with me on this mission!" Arthas smiled faintly. He knew Lian Yang's personality. If it were a matter of nobles indulging in extravagance and debauchery, Lian Yang would probably be eager to join. But in this situation, he had to bite the bullet and go for it. It just so happened that Antonidas had given him a mission, and he figured it would be more reliable to take Lian Yang with him.

"An operation?" Lian Yang's eyes lit up when he heard Arthas's words. He asked suspiciously, "Let me think. This mission was given to you by Master Antonidas, right?"

"Huh!" Arthas exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know, kid! Hmm, that's right, Antonidas sent me to escort someone!"

Lian Yang rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that he knew it was true. In fact, Lian Yang had known the direction of the plot for a long time. The current timeline of World of Warcraft was actually the beginning of the human race storyline in the single-player version of Warcraft.

In the human storyline, the Blackrock Horde campaign that just ended is followed by Arthas escorting Jaina. Basically, from this point onward, it signifies that Arthas's tragic life is about to begin.

"Just guessing!" Of course, Lian Yang wouldn't tell Arthas that he was a transmigrator who knew the history of their world, so "just guessing" was the best excuse.

"Bullshit, fine, don't just guess!" Arthas was already used to Lian Yang's mysteriousness, but as a friend, Arthas knew very well that Lian Yang had no ill intentions towards him. As for secrets, everyone has secrets, so he said, "If you're so good at guessing, do you know what Medivh said to Antonidas?"

"Disaster is imminent, is the continent of Azeroth about to face its end..." Without even thinking, Lian Yang replied to Arthas, "To put it simply, this news is half true and half false. Disaster is definitely coming to the continent of Azeroth, but to say it's the end of the world is pure nonsense!"

Medivh is the prophet and guardian of the human kingdoms, but he is also the possessed body of Sargeras, the leader of the Burning Legion. In short, this guy is a very complex being.

Of course, this person is not inherently bad. In fact, he never does anything bad. On the contrary, he takes it as his duty to protect humanity. However, as the body possessed by Sargeras, the leader of the Burning Legion, he naturally knows more and does more, but these are things that others do not know.

"Lian Yang, my buddy, your thoughts coincide with Master's!" Arthas's expression was somewhat surprised, but not unexpected. He knew that Lian Yang wouldn't speak without reason.

"Alright, forget about all that. Let's take it one step at a time. Azeroth is so big, it's not something the two of us can handle. It requires the efforts of all humanity, including those green-skinned guys and the dark-skinned ghosts hiding in the forest. Thinking too much is a waste of brain cells! Hmm, I think we should hurry up and set off to see your little sweetheart, Arthas!"

Standing up, Lian Yang patted his butt and looked at the bewildered Arthas, saying, "This world is too complicated. Don't think about it anymore. Let's go!"

"Alright!" Arthas shook his head and said, "You mysterious fellow, I have no idea what you're thinking all day! But speaking of which, Reinhardt's talent is undeniable; Uther keeps praising him to the skies!"

After all, Reinhardt had officially become Uther's apprentice, so as soon as he returned from southern Lordaeron, Uther began to train Reinhardt individually. And Reinhardt, as one of the three most powerful of the twelve apostles of the former Mech Age, certainly did not disappoint Uther.

No matter what Uther taught Reinhardt, Reinhardt could usually learn it immediately, and even master it very well. Moreover, Uther found that Reinhardt's values ​​were very upright, and he especially admired Reinhardt's incredibly honest character and flexible yet not pedantic mind.

Therefore, Uther often praised Reinhardt to his other prized disciple, Arthas, because Arthas, as a prince, was very well-mannered and magnanimous. If it were someone with a narrow mind, they would probably have given Reinhardt a hard time.

"Not surprising at all. This kid is just missing a good teacher... He doesn't seem to lack anything else!" Lian Yang wasn't surprised at all by Reinhardt's performance. This guy was just born into a world like Mech Age. Moreover, Lian Yang was quite certain that even in the Mech Age world, Mars wouldn't be Reinhardt's final destination. It's just that Reinhardt is still young, and Lian Yang has only entered the early stages of the Mech Age storyline.

In a forest north of Lordaeron

Arthas's captain of the guard was clearly not a patient man, though of course, Prince Arthas himself had almost no airs.

“Your Highness Prince Arthas, we’ve been waiting here for hours. Are you sure your friend will come?” Arthas’s guards were not a fixed unit; clearly, this was a newcomer who didn’t understand Arthas’s feelings.

However, Arthas was an easy-going person. He smiled casually and said calmly, "I'm sure she'll come. Jaina is usually a little late."

Seeing that the captain of the guard was about to say something, Lian Yang spoke up, "I say, Salen, if you ask me, you're only fit to be single for the rest of your life. Don't you know that when you're on a date, the man should wait for the woman a little longer?"

Who is Jaina? She's Arthas's childhood sweetheart and girlfriend, someone he hasn't seen for quite some time. Let alone making Arthas wait in this grove for hours, even days, he probably wouldn't get impatient.

Salen wasn't stupid. Someone who'd risen to the position of a prince's guard couldn't be a fool. The moment Lian Yang said that, he immediately realized they weren't waiting for Arthas's friend, but clearly for Arthas's girlfriend. To put it more bluntly, this was his future mistress. He promptly shut up and continued his investigation.

Salen reacted quickly, but Arthas's face also turned red just as quickly. Upon hearing Lian Yang's words, Arthas immediately smiled brightly and said, "Hey Lian Yang, are you really an adventurer? Are you sure you're not a private detective? You know about me and Jaina?"

Lian Yang waved his hand casually, looking indifferent, and said, "Well, I don't know everything, I just know about your relationship. Come to think of it, your relationship has never been a secret, has it? My prince!"

Lying on the ground with a blade of grass in his mouth, Lian Yang looked utterly lazy, hardly befitting a viscount of a kingdom. Arthas shook his head helplessly at Lian Yang's appearance and said, "Alright, my friend, you're right, but don't you think your current state is very impolite to the lady who's coming later, my viscount!"

"It's alright, it's alright, this is what makes Your Highness Prince Arthas shine!" Lian Yang said casually, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth. Since arriving in World of Warcraft, although Lian Yang's strength was still at the bottom, he had never felt any pressure. On the contrary, he felt much more at ease and preferred to be a free-spirited wanderer. To this end, he even sent the other members of Hyde's Hope Squad to his fiefdom. He needed a unique journey.

"You always make perfect sense!" Arthas was utterly exasperated by Lian Yang's shamelessness, especially since every word this rogue said seemed to leave Arthas speechless.

As the saying goes, "Speak of the devil, and he appears." While Arthas and Lian Yang were still chatting about Jaina, Sarn spotted Jaina from afar. "Your Highness," he said, "I think I've seen your friend, Lady Jaina, but she doesn't seem to be in very good condition."

Upon hearing Zhang Saren's words from the guard, Arthas took two steps to the front and saw Jaina's figure in the distance, along with the two monsters that were constantly attacking Jaina.

Without saying a word, Salen drew his knife and rushed forward, shouting, "We must help him!"

Arthas, displeased by Salen's actions, said, "Captain, put down your knife. She can handle this herself!"

Arthas was extremely annoyed with the captain of the guard. "Damn it," he thought, "you wouldn't let me wait while I was waiting, but now that you know who I am, you're being incredibly obsequious." Of course, Arthas was also well aware of Jaina's strength; otherwise, he would have been the first to charge forward.

Jaina remained calm despite the two monsters following behind her. With a wave of her staff, she casually summoned a water elemental with azure fur.

Compared to the two ferocious monsters and the water elementals summoned by Jaina, they suddenly looked much smaller. Even if Sarn was stupid, he would know that the incredibly beautiful woman in front of him was also a powerful hero.

"Drink!" While the water elemental attacked from the side, Jaina herself was not idle either. Cooperating with the water elemental, she kept bombarding the two monsters in front of her with magical energy balls, and easily killed the monsters that followed her in no time.

Jaina, having easily dealt with the two monsters, looked at Arthas, whose long golden hair was bathed in the setting sun, and ran over with great joy.

Arthas stepped forward, pulled Jaina into his arms, and proudly introduced her to everyone: "Gentlemen, come and meet Miss Jaina Rodmore, the special envoy sent to Kalinkor, one of the most talented mages on the continent!"

"Hmm, Prince Arthas of Lordaeron's girlfriend..." Lian Yang added casually from the side.
