How could he have forgotten about him? Lu Li slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered Innocent Child, who had just joined the Ruling Sword club.
If he had to rank all the classes, then the Druid class would definitely be Child's Words. In previous games, he often played this kind of obscure class because he could always discover the intentions of the designers to design this obscure class, and from there, he created his own style.
The Druid profession was not as good as Mages or Warlocks in terms of damage output, not as good as Warriors or Thieves in terms of physical damage output, not as good as Main Tanks and not as good as Priests in terms of healing.
However, the game designers didn't use this profession just to make up for the numbers.
Innocent Child was a Druid who could heal, go into Stealth, deal damage and even tank monsters when necessary. This Druid was a headache for many people on the field.
If Lu Li wanted someone to do the scouting with him, Innocent Child was the perfect choice.
The absence of these people didn't have much of an impact on the First Clear team. The few of them quickly gathered at the Frozen Hill Stronghold.
At this time, the Light's Hope Chapel had been temporarily occupied. The Frozen Hill Stronghold had become the outpost of the Alliance Army. Many players had gathered here and most of them wanted to participate in the System Event. Even if there was no meat to eat, it was still good to have some soup.
In fact, this was indeed the case. The number of quests here was the highest in the game.
Even those with poor Charisma could find some quests here. For example, burning corpses was something that almost everyone could do. It was just that the rewards were slightly lower and the content of the quests was a little disgusting. The feeling of the corpses and the stench of blood couldn't be avoided.
The spread of the plague seemed to be getting worse.
Those bastards from the Cursed Temple were spreading the plague and researching it. Any corpse could become a medium of infection, so burning it was the only and most effective way to deal with it.
"Fortunately, we don't need to do this," Scarlet New Moon said as he covered his nose.
"Actually, this is not a bad job. We can get Reputation and earn a lot of gold coins. There's also no danger," Innocent Child said. He was used to this kind of thing and didn't think that it was unacceptable. In fact, he had done even more disgusting things than this when he was playing the game.
"It's not like there's no cost. If they move too many corpses, they'll be infected with the plague's poison. The poison can be stacked, so they have to buy the antidote from an NPC," Lu Li said.
"The game company is getting better at collecting gold," Innocent Child said as he shook his head. He was quite impressed with Dawnlight. At the very least, the gold in the game was pretty good, and the ratio of gold to real world currency was relatively stable. All sorts of measures were taken to collect gold, and the total amount of gold in the market didn't change much.
"Are we leaving now?" Water Fairy asked.
"Wait a minute, someone will be here to deliver the supplies," Lu Li said.
"I thought I'd bring my own stuff. I brought a backpack full of stuff." Water Fairy was stunned.
"What's wrong with that? What's his is yours, and what's yours is still yours. Isn't that the same thing?" Innocent Child joked.
"Ahem, it's fine to bring more. More is better than less," Lu Li said nonchalantly.
The person who delivered the supplies was White Bread, the club's logistics butler. Lu Li mainly brought some potions that increased the effects of Stealth, as well as some other potions and items that were suitable for adventuring and lurking. She didn't seem to be in good health in real life, so she hadn't been online much recently. Lu Li chatted with her for a while before bringing the supplies to see the commander of the Frozen Hill.
He needed some information. Going into the Plaguelands without any preparation was tantamount to courting death.
"Do you have any military information, Second Lieutenant?" Ashram Varofest was a Captain, which was higher than Lu Li. He had a handsome face that was rarely seen in frontline soldiers, and he always had a smile on his face. He was even more radiant than the nobles in Stormwind City.
He had led the Alliance troops stationed in the Frozen Hill, and had been through many battles. He was a true warrior.
"I just received a mission from the military and rushed over. I have something to ask you, Your Excellency," Lu Li said politely.
Ashram Varofest nodded. "What do you want to know?"
"I want to know something about the Cult of the Damned. How much do you know about them?" If one were to ask who knew more about the Plaguelands, apart from the Scarlet Crusade, it would only be Captain Ashram Varofest and the other local tyrants.
"The Cult of the Damned," Captain Ashram Varofest said with a look of resentment. "Those bastards aren't the so-called Undead. They're normal humans. They're traitors!"
"Oh," Lu Li said calmly. Of course he knew what the Cult of the Damned was.
When the Burning Legion marched into Azeroth, they captured some mortals and handed them over to the Lich King. The Lich King quickly destroyed their minds and filled them with fanatical zeal. This group of new followers would help the Scourge wreak havoc in Lordaeron. Their first job was to spread the terrible plague that killed countless Lordaeron residents and turned them into the Scourge's minions.
These people were truly despicable, but what could they do?
The military didn't protect the civilians and turned them into prisoners. In the face of a powerful existence like the Lich King, there was nothing they could do other than obey.
Even if they chose to die, no one would laughably think that death was the end for them in front of the Lich King. The dead would be resurrected and raised their butcher's knife against their comrades.
"These living humans are even more disgusting than the Undead," Captain Varofest said angrily.
"I understand, I understand," Lu Li understood these angry youths very well, but this wasn't something he wanted to talk about. He needed to know more about the Cult of the Damned in the Plaguelands. It would be best if he knew where their camp was. As humans who hadn't been infected yet, they still needed to set up camp.
"In the battle of Mount Hyjal, the Alliance and Horde forces defeated the Burning Legion …"
However, they weren't the only victors, because the Cult of the Damned believed that this was also a victory for the Undead Scourge. With the defeat of the demons, the Lich King was free from their control. He could now carry out his plan with the help of the powerful Death Knight Arthas.
The Lich King had already gained control over half of the Lordaeron Kingdom, and he hoped to expand his influence even further.
The Lich King's liberation caused the disciples of the Cult of the Damned to rejoice, and they continued to serve him after the war. When Arthas broke the cage that imprisoned the Lich King, took out Ner 'zhul's soul, and merged it with him, becoming the strongest Lich King in the world, they didn't even blink.
As long as the new Lich King could advance the cause of the Undead Scourge, the disciples swore loyalty to him, just like how they swore loyalty to the old Lich King.
Considering that the current Lich King had a physical body, the disciples of the Cult of the Damned believed that one day, he would personally come to Lordaeron and be crowned the king. From then on, they worked even harder. They worked with ghosts, studied dark psychic magic, and looked forward to the day when they could truly become immortal. The Cult of the Damned was a terrifying organization.
"Where are they … I received orders to disrupt a ceremony that the Cult of the Damned is holding," Lu Li interrupted the talkative captain. No wonder this guy was so talented and had so many achievements, but he still hadn't been promoted.
"Ceremony? What ceremony?" The captain was surprised.
"It's confidential. You should know the rules, but time is tight, so can you make it short?" Lu Li said mysteriously. In fact, he didn't know what kind of ceremony it was, but he had to act like he had a big mission to do, and he had to tell him everything he knew.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you …" Ashram Varofest nodded bitterly, and told him everything he knew.
"Thank you, these things are very useful." Lu Li was very satisfied.
As the highest commander of the outpost, Ashram Varofest not only knew the general area of activity of the Cult of the Damned, but also some of the Undead units that guarded these disciples.
These Undead units were very important, and Lu Li was even a little scared when he found out.
If they hadn't come to talk to Ashram Varofest, and directly entered the Plaguelands, their corpses would probably be cold by now.
Smell!
The Cult of the Damned had tamed a group of Corpse Dogs. These Corpse Dogs only needed to eat the flesh of corpses to survive. The flesh of the undead did not have any additional effect. A real undead might be completely naked or only have a few strands of flesh hanging off their bodies.
These Necrophagous Dogs were in between the Undead and the living, and they had two very powerful skills.
One was Rabies, a very vicious debuff that lasted for up to an hour. It slowed down, weakened, and sustained damage.
This was fatal to Rogues, and the continuous damage meant that they couldn't sneak.
The other was a passive skill, Enhanced Sense of Smell.
As the name suggested, their sense of smell was very good, to the point of being abnormal. Even if Lu Li and the others did not enter their range of perception, they could still detect Lu Li and the others through their smell.
"Well, since we're all on the same side," Ashram Varofest said with a smile as he put his arm around Lu Li's shoulder, "I have some things that I can help you with, but you also know that the world is not peaceful right now, and it's not easy for me to get these things …"
"It's not easy for our brothers to be stationed here. If I can have the opportunity to improve everyone's lives, I think it'll be my honor," Lu Li said seriously.
