"This is … a Gryphon?? It really is a Gryphon! "
Lin Xue instantly recognised the creature that was unique to Western Fantasy.
It was a snow-white Gryphon, with a sharp beak and snow-white feathers, but its body and tail were similar to that of a lion.
Its body was also covered in special armor that protected its head, chest, and other vital parts. On the armor plate in front of its chest was the unique symbol of the Alliance in Azeroth.
The Gryphon was quite large, standing on all fours, it was about the same height as Lin Xue's avatar.
However, this ferocious-looking beast didn't show any signs of aggression, instead it laid on the ground, as if waiting for Lin Xue to ride on its back.
"Is this … for me to ride it?"
Lin Xue walked over, half believing and half doubting.
The Gryphon had a very obvious saddle and reins on its back, it was obvious what it was used for.
Lin Xue didn't expect Chen Mo to bring a creature that only existed in Western Fantasy into Seaside Mansion.
Although the Gryphon looked a bit out of place, it didn't seem to be out of place in the setting. Its model, movements, and textures were all done according to the highest standards in Uncharted Waters, one could even see the fine textures on its feathers.
Lin Xue walked over and rode on the Gryphon.
The Gryphon took two steps forward, then immediately flapped its wings and flew towards the sea in the distance.
"Where … where is it taking me?"
Lin Xue was a bit confused. Before the update, there was nothing on the surface of the sea, and if players tried to swim over, they would quickly run into a wall of air.
But this time, the Gryphon kept flying towards the surface of the sea. When Lin Xue turned around after a while, she couldn't even see her seaside mansion anymore.
"Is this the present Chen Mo prepared? A new setting? Could it be … no way! "
Lin Xue had her own guesses, but she wasn't sure.
The journey wasn't long, only two to three minutes, and the entire journey was covered in the vast sea. But Lin Xue knew that this was to allow the players to get used to the change of scenery, so that they wouldn't have to skip scenes.
"That, that's …"
The silhouette of a city appeared on the horizon in the distance.
A magnificent human city appeared in front of Lin Xue amidst the rolling mountains.
The nearest place was a huge harbor. Many wooden ships were anchored in the harbor, and one could vaguely see people coming and going on the ships.
On the left side of the port, a lighthouse stood on the surface of the sea, guiding the ships coming and going.
In the distance, more buildings were faintly discernible. The tallest fortress was at the far end of his field of vision, and he could only vaguely make out its grand outline.
"This is … Stormwind City!!"
Lin Xue was shocked beyond words. She was very familiar with the story of Azeroth, and had visited Stormwind in Minecraft before, so she recognized this magnificent city at first glance.
Before Lin Xue had the time to be shocked, the Gryphon had already flown over the port and was flying towards the Gryphon Station at the main entrance of Stormwind City.
At this moment, soothing and majestic background music started playing at the same time. Coupled with the stunning scenery in front of her, Lin Xue was inexplicably shocked!
The Griffin circled gracefully in the sky, giving Lin Xue a better view of the entire Stormwind City.
It was a densely packed complex of buildings with distinct levels.
Lin Xue tried her best to recall the structure of Stormwind City, comparing it to the scenery in front of her.
The purple roofs were the Mage District, the blue roofs were the Trade District, and the yellow roofs were the Cathedral Square …
The tallest building in the distance was the Stormwind Fortress, with a moat and a grand statue at the entrance …
The Snow Griffin landed on the Griffin Perch within the walls of Stormwind City, and Lin Xue got off.
At this moment, she was still in shock as she looked at everything in front of her.
On the wall in front of her hung a huge Alliance flag, and there were piles of straw on the wooden floor. Many Gryphons were resting on the straw, waiting for their next mission.
The Griffin Keeper was actually a Dwarf girl (auntie?). She was wearing leather armor, and was carefully brushing the Griffin's feathers.
There was also a human Griffin Keeper, who was tidying up the junk nearby.
The entire scene was made with the highest level of art in Uncharted Water. Lin Xue could even feel the silky texture of the Alliance flag on the wall. The entire scene was incredibly realistic.
Lin Xue had been worried that she would look weird in a T-shirt and shorts, but when she turned around, she saw a few boxes on her right that seemed to contain ready-made armor.
The busy human Griffin Keeper walked over. "You're new, right? Take off your weird clothes and change into a new recruit's armor. Welcome to Stormwind City! "
Lin Xue walked to the boxes on the side and found that there were three default starter equipment: Chain Armor, Leather Armor, and Cloth Armor. There was also a small room that seemed to be a 'fitting room'.
In the fitting room, players could change their equipment at will, and they could mix and match different body parts.
After trying it on, Lin Xue felt that the chain armor was too bulky, and the Cloth Armor robe didn't show off her figure, so she chose the Leather Armor.
Once she put it on, she really looked like the real deal.
After putting on the Leather Armor, Lin Xue was confused about where she should go. She thought for a moment. Should she ask the NPC?
She didn't know if the NPCs here were as advanced as Nuannuan, and if they could understand players.
Lin Xue walked over to the Dwarf Keeper. "Excuse me … what should I do now?"
The Dwarf Keeper stopped what she was doing. "Anything. This is Stormwind City. As long as you don't steal or attack the guards, you can walk around freely."
"Oh." Lin Xue asked again, "Then, I want to see the main gate. How do I get there?"
The Dwarf Keeper replied, "You need to go out from here, go down the stairs, and cross the entire trade zone. Or you can just jump into the moat, but I don't recommend that. After all, it's quite troublesome to fish out corpses. "
Lin Xue was speechless.
This NPC was really smart. Not only could she understand players, but she could also tell corny jokes when she answered …
Obviously, these NPCs also used some artificial intelligence and could answer some questions in the game. However, they probably couldn't answer questions that were too complicated.
Lin Xue originally wanted to go to the gates of Stormwind City to take a look. She wanted to get a closer look at how the statues looked like under the new artistic standards.
But since she had to pass through the trade zone, she might as well walk around it first.
She would just treat it as a vacation.
Lin Xue was just about to leave when the Dwarf Keeper said, "This is your first time in Stormwind City, right? There's an adventurer's map here. Take it. "
