Chapter 109 The foster father is here
"Our godfather is quite satisfied with our performance and hopes we will continue to do well. He has prepared more gifts for us, although he hasn't said what they are... It's okay to be a little excited!"
"Teacher, what is this 'godfather' you're talking about?"
"Sigh, we can't be rude... A godfather is a godfather! He's very important. We must be loyal to him, loyal to him."
"Is he a demon...?"
......
"Who cares if he's a demon! I've said it so many times: what matters is who wields the power and what they do with it. Good and evil are just empty words and moral constraints... Look at Eggman, so full of suffering and hatred, all for the sake of Azeroth..."
Who is Boss Egg?
"Illidan the Demon Hunter!"
"Oh. So my godfather is Illidan?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Illidan may be powerful, but he's still no match for our adoptive father. Our adoptive father is a top-tier being. At first, I thought he was just toying with us, but now I understand! This is our chance to become true heroes! Lorraine, this time we've really struck it rich..."
Lorraine suddenly walked to the magic circle and poked the phantom of Lorraine... He suspected that the phantom of his teacher was a demon in disguise... He simply couldn't accept seeing his teacher's true appearance...
This is even more magical than a fantasy world...
"Stop fooling around, time is running out. Let me explain!" Rowling waved his hand...
Continuing with the story of the master and apprentice's mission...
To be honest, on the edge of the deep, dark Silverpine Forest, in a corner behind the ruins of Pyrewood Village... there's a ghostly figure of a young man in shorts wearing glasses, explaining fate and responsibility to a necromancer...
This scene is indeed eerie.
The eighth day passed by in the blink of an eye, dawn was breaking, and the battle in Silverpine Forest was nearing its end...
Lorraine has yet to spot any of its own kind around Burnwood Village. The undead army's advance is far too slow! Elite legions like the Hand of Vengeance and the Hand of Death are attacking several small areas and still haven't made a breakthrough? Is the Forsaken's combat strength really that weak?
Countless questions cannot compare to the mystery surrounding that godfather's existence...
Fortunately, the young teacher in shorts, though speaking rapidly, still got to the point... although Lorraine still didn't understand where Blackrock Mountain, Naxxramas, and the Caverns of Time were...
He roughly understood that his next mission was to find the ruins of the Wild God, the Titan Guardians, the lost city of the Elves, and the treasures of the barbarians and dragons... because his adoptive father had hidden parts of his teacher's body there...
He wasn't sure if this was his mission, or the mission of a teacher.
The teacher has no physical form, he can only rely on Lorraine...
Therefore, Rowling's mission is Lorraine's mission, but Lorraine's mission is not necessarily her teacher Rowling's mission. Or perhaps their fates have long been intertwined without them even realizing it.
Whether the road ahead is difficult or easy, the teacher has already helped him a lot.
Lorraine is Lorraine, and Lorraine is the one who guides Lorraine... This is somewhat similar to many legendary adventure epics... In the past, in his spare time, Lorraine would also listen to bards tell magical stories in taverns.
Often, listening to other people's stories can be dull, but only when you experience them yourself do you realize that what seems exciting is often accompanied by pain and difficult choices...
The teacher told Lorraine that he had thought life was a game.
Playing games with life is an attitude, but life is indeed much more complex than a game. Its rules overlap and repeat, and there are countless paths, making it impossible to make sense of it all.
Things are alright now, as my godfather is pointing me in the right direction.
Whether it was a routine, a trap, or the path to godhood, this period was still extraordinary. The journey ahead is different for me now; my strength has increased dramatically, and my relationship with my teacher is more like that of a mentor and friend.
They will not be alone, nor will they be afraid... Even if death comes again, including the consequences of a failed cliff-jumping maneuver, Lorraine is willing to bear it...
"Do you want to live a life as vibrant as summer flowers, or to live like livestock...?"
These are the words the teacher has been saying lately. Lorraine remembered them. He didn't care. No, he was no longer afraid!
.......
However, the godfather has already informed the teacher that obtaining the remaining body parts won't be so easy...
The Eye of Light was just the first gift given... The limited-time mission was also to keep the master and apprentice on track and prevent them from always straying from the timeline.
Another reason the teacher was excited was that he told his apprentice that his godfather was actually very likely the system.
Although Rolin disliked the system, it was indeed a good thing, and his previous rejection was entirely unfounded arrogance.
Only after experiencing a series of pains and struggles will one understand that the true ability lies in making good use of one's talents to easily obtain what one needs...
Everything else is nothing but scraps obtained by risking one's health, gambling, and betting everything...
Lorraine had always been able to understand some of what her teacher said; some was rambling and feigned sentimentality, while others were inexplicable reflections and experiences...
The teacher said that his logic was erratic, which is why his way of doing things was so strange.
In the past, I accomplished nothing, spending most of my time making haphazard moves and wasting opportunities...
It wasn't until I turned 30 that I realized... I didn't play hard enough, I didn't do things seriously enough, I didn't speak thoroughly enough, I didn't cry freely enough... I didn't curse enough, I didn't write fluently enough, I didn't sing melodiously enough, I didn't hear clearly enough, I didn't hit hard enough, I didn't act purely, I didn't forget cleanly, I didn't break off cleanly enough, and I didn't distance myself enough...
Suppressed, frustrated, bored, angry, lazy...
Like a walking corpse, his heart was filled with restlessness and anxiety, and the light in his eyes had faded...
Using his runic right eye, Lorraine could see extremely intense negative emotions emanating from his teacher. He even felt that if his teacher were suddenly devoured by him, it might be equivalent to the energy of 100 high-level vengeful spirits...
He then realized he shouldn't have such thoughts; he and his teacher were on the same page. He had spent almost half a month with his teacher, and they had just met again...
He was afraid of upsetting his teacher.
In reality, the incessantly talking Luo Lin was quite eccentric; he didn't care whether his disciple wanted to devour his soul...
His godfather praised him this time, saying that he had finally persevered.
He thought that someone like Rowling, who lacked motivation, would have a hard time completing the first simple task.
Obtain the Eye of Light...
Although Lorraine lived an ordinary but not particularly painful life, she was unable to realize her great ambitions.
Bandits and monsters coexist in the territory of the human empire. Although the area near Westfall is a paradise compared to the deep and dark Silverpine Forest, Lorraine herself knows this:
"No matter where you are, if you're suffering in your heart, it's like being in hell..."
The so-called heaven is too far away, and hell is very close. The pastor of the Holy Light Church comforted the believers, saying that only by doing more good deeds and turning their hearts toward the light can they succeed.
After death, all is over, but the Eye of Light gave Lorraine a reason to live...
He filled in the teacher's part...
Go all out...
......
In fact, obtaining the Eye of Light is not easy.
The other Eye of Shadow is still nowhere to be found.
I roughly know it's in Dalaran.
Lorraine didn't know why her teacher was so excited.
......
After meeting her teacher, Lorraine suddenly realized that her teacher was the same age as her.
They're just not from the same world after all...
It turns out the teacher was a talkative person, a sentimental person, and a chatterbox...
Because in just five minutes, the teacher rambled on and on about so much information that Lorraine couldn't possibly process or record it all... and much of it consisted of Lorraine's personal complaints and comments...
Lorraine patiently remembered only the excitement of meeting his teacher and the future of the most powerful necromancer in history that his teacher had described...
Dalaran is a must-go, but for now, I'll head to Ambermill and try to collect more wraiths...
Wraiths are Lorraine's food... The master and apprentice's primary duty and mission is to resolve the regrets and sorrows of this world...
The teacher told him a strange piece of information: the more vengeful spirits he collected in his right eye, the higher their quality. This would grant the teacher more freedom and greater soul power...
He can even try to possess his summoned creatures in battle...
Ah, that's it! He finally understood why the teacher was so happy...
Perhaps it means being able to briefly possess a skeleton or death knight in battle, truly controlling a body...
"I need to work even harder!"
Lorraine secretly made up her mind; this wasn't just for herself...
......
After all that trouble, there were finally no more time-limited tasks.
Lorraine can finally take a good look at her gains and losses...
His clothes were mostly intact, though some were torn...
It was just a linen robe he made himself, the kind that gives +1 to Spirit, so it's not important. He has replacements...
