Chapter 1911: Through His Stomach
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
A lot of flying mounts had already come out now, but most of them were factional flying mounts . After reaching a certain amount of reputation and learning how to ride, they could spend a huge sum of gold and purchase one .
Aside from reputation, to learn to ride and obtain the mount would cost at least over 1000 gold .
This sort of expenditure also successfully stopped the worth of gold from dropping . On the black market, the trading price was at more than 20 . For a game that had already been released for more than 2 years, this was a favorable result .
With a flying mount, players could soar at the horizons, fly through the fiery-red clouds of Hellfire Peninsula, or get a bird’s-eye view of those waves of green of the Nagrand grassland .
Players had complete control over the flying mount, able to explore every nook and cranny of the Outland .
Actually, within the shards of the Outland, there was an area which was floating around in thin air . Because of this, only adventurers who were riding on flying mounts could get there .
Dawn purposely put a treasure chest here on this unassuming location to encourage players to come explore .
Most of these treasure chests didn’t need Unlock skills . Anyone could open them, and inside, there was gold, equipment and materials as well . Although it wasn’t worth all that much, it was another benefit in addition to enjoying the scenery .
Players could finish off the Netherwing quest and come to get EXP and money . At the same time, they could also increase their Netherwing Reputation and obtain the Nether Dragon mount .
This sort of epic flying mount was pretty damn awesome!
As soon as your Netherwing Reputation reached Worshiped, when you completed a series of tasks, you would be rewarded with the Nether Drake mount for free .
If they wanted to get Nether Drakes, players first needed to chat with the NPC Mordenai, who was in the Moon Shadow Valley of the Nether plain . As long as they completed the series of quests that he provided, players would reach neutral Reputation with the Netherwing .
Moon Shadow Valley was the stomping ground of wild Orcs and Demons . Wild Orcs were nothing to be scared of, but those demons had been fighting against the Wildhammer Stronghold and Shadow Moon village with no end in sight .
Fortunately, those townsfolk were relatively strong, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to protect their places of rest .
One of these places was the Wildhammer Stronghold, featured in one of five famous hero statues of Stormwind City’s Valley of Heroes . It was an Alliance stronghold founded by the group led by the Dwarf hero Kurdran Wildhammer . It was also the only capital city of the alliance in this precarious Moon Shadow Valley . Apart from being a center of military strategy, there was another reason it was important, especially for adventurers – it was a place where you could buy riding skills and high-level flying mounts!
Mordenai looked like a Blood Elf from his appearances . He had a head of blond hair and was ridiculously handsome .
Of course, he was still no Wandering . After all, NPCs were NPCs . No matter how intelligent they could be, they had to comply with pre-programmed things to exist .
Even a pretty face would still look quite stiff and unanimated .
Since the first MMORPG ‘New World’ came out, games didn’t construct NPCs to be overly intelligent . One reason was the problem of cost, and other was that these intelligent NPCs would actually start thinking about life, which terrified humans .
Dawn’s intelligence was done well . It was just that the core of the intelligence was given to just a few NPCs . Mordenai, this quest issuer, could just be considered a low-intelligence NPC .
Netherwing reputation began at Aggravated, and players could only complete ordinary quests to get to Neutral . Only right after that could they earn Reputation by different methods . They could complete normal, Netherwing-related quests to gain Reputation, all the way until Worshiped .
“So, it’s a Night Elf couple . What are you doing coming on my turf?”
Mordenai’s database was evidently enough for him to complete a simple conversation, and his tone wasn’t that friendly either . One reason was because of the rough relationship between Night Elves and Blood Elves, and the other was because Lu Li and Water Fairy’s Reputation were mediocre .
“We are adventurers, hoping to find something to do and earn a bit to make our way home,” Lu Li lied openly .
But how would Mordenai believe this? After some deep thought, he said, “See those drakes? They are starving but they lack skills to hunt effectively . Get them some meat . I think that’s the most suitable job for you . ”
“Ok, Mr . Mordenai . I guarantee we’ll be done with this task very soon,” Lu Li immediately agreed .
The quest wasn’t hard to activate . They just had to do things according to what he said . There were a lot of monster near Dragonmaw Stronghold that dropped pieces of meat and innards . After fighting for a bit, Lu Li and Water Fairy had collected a backpack full .
“It looks like these meat pieces can be synthesized,” Water Fairy realized .
“Then let’s combine them into big pieces . It’ll probably increase our reputation a bit . ”
Lu Li took a piece of fresh, red meat, weighed it in his hand and asked, “Why don’t we roast a piece and try it? I’ve never tried your workmanship before . ”
“You’re so evil! This stuff is from monsters,” Water Fairy said with disgust .
“It’s just something exotic . If you don’t want to eat it then don’t eat it . I heard it doesn’t taste that bad at all . ”
Lu Li felt it was quite a shame that this girl of his wouldn’t actively go and make something for him to eat . Didn’t they say that the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach?
Water Fairy didn’t know what Lu Li was thinking about, otherwise, she definitely would have given him a Ghostclaw . Enough about stomachs – she would let her heart be clawed out .
After synthesizing eight large pieces of meat, they went to feed the dragon babies . They just had to put the meat on the ground and the dragons would come by themselves . Water Fairy was relatively interested in this, placing down a chunk of meat with great enthusiasm . She then kept her eyes on those drakes doing their dance in the sky, waiting for them to fly down to eat .
However, the little dragons only circled around in the sky honking and not coming down .
“Go back a few steps . These dragons haven’t grown up yet, so they’re even scared of people,” Lu Li reminded .
“I just wanted to pat them when they came down,” Water Fairy mumbled to herself .
“You can when they eat . Actually, Nether Dragons don’t really feel like much . ”
Dragons as creatures weren’t like cats and dogs, which were furry and cuddly . Dragons had rough skin, and the Nether ones gave off a kind of cold feeling .
Water Fairy retreated a few steps . Finally, she saw a small dragon come down somewhat cautiously, stretching out an evil little claw .
And so in this way, they fed the drakes a few times . Lu Li and Water Fairy’s reputation had finally reached Neutral, even slowly crossing into friendly . This allowed them to continue the quests of the next stage .
