Chapter 489: The Hermit and the Intelligence Officer

Azeroth continent, Ironforge.

Tristan was walking alone on the street.

This is the territory of the dwarves. After the hermit elder Tristan is fully armored, his nearly three-meter height and large and sturdy body make him very conspicuous when he walks on the road. Some narrow alleys in the city even require him to turn sideways to pass through, but he is not overly conspicuous - after all, this is the World of Warcraft universe, and there are all kinds of strange races here.

The race settings in World of Warcraft are very complex. The three main planets in the World of Warcraft universe: Azeroth, Draenor, and Argus, have a total of more than 50 different races and subspecies. Not to mention the Space Marines, which are just biochemically modified humans with different shapes from ordinary people, even alien races from other reincarnation worlds can easily blend in with the World of Warcraft universe without appearing particularly abrupt.

Minotaurs, Ogres, and their respective subspecies are all comparable in height and build to Space Marines, not to mention species like Mountain Giants or Storm Giants.

However, the above species are either too rare or belong to the Horde. Ironforge, as one of the five major cities of the Alliance, rarely sees them appear.

Tristan didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he put on a loose linen robe over his power armor and put on a hood - Lord Cypher's classic style, blocking the slightly curious and inquiring gazes of passers-by around him.

Tristan, as a former paladin of the Knights of the Silver Hand, had been in the Alliance for many years. He was very familiar with this city. He walked around and arrived at a building, an ordinary blacksmith shop, which could be seen everywhere in Ironforge.

The only difference.

There is a secret symbol of the Order Alliance on the door next to it.

The chief priest pushed the door open and entered, and a wave of heat hit him. Inside, they were busy forging various weapons and equipment and drilling holes and enchanting them. The main staff were either dwarves or gnomes. Tristan came to the counter, and a dwarf lowered his head, picking his nose while browsing the Sports Illustrated magazine, and didn't even look at the Space Marines in front of the counter.

"I want a one-handed warhammer."

Tristan tapped the table and got straight to the point.

"What's the budget?"

The dwarf turned a page and asked without looking up.

"Twenty thousand assimilation points."

Tristan said calmly.

"How many!?"

The dwarf suddenly raised his head and widened his eyes.

"Twenty thousand... assimilation points."

Tristan emphasized the currency type again.

Assimilation points are the most popular currency in the samsara world, far exceeding any local currency in the universe. Using assimilation points to pay is the most popular payment method for the Order-Maintaining Alliance. Moreover, the other party paid a full 20,000 at a time...

This is a big order!

The dwarf immediately threw away the Sports Illustrated and stood up straight. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his hand carefully after digging his nose. He treated it as a VIP customer, took out a piece of white paper and a pencil from under the counter, spread them out, and then looked up and asked:

"What kind of war hammer?"

Tristan lifted his hood and said,

"Adapt to my size."

"The size of a minotaur or an ogre. For humans, this is a two-handed warhammer. Okay..."

The dwarf lowered his head and took notes quickly, then asked:

"Do you need to drill holes? How many holes?"

"One is enough."

Tristan placed a golden crystal on the counter.

"Wow, Naaru fragments."

The dwarf raised his eyebrows and nodded, saying,

"I understand. I will arrange a material plan and an enchantment plan for you based on this Naaru fragment, mainly to increase the power of Holy Light, right? Please wait a moment..."

The dwarf lowered his head and began to write quickly.

After a moment, the dwarf stopped writing, blew away the graphite dust, and held up the white paper in his hands to show it to Tristan.

Tristan took a closer look. The white paper was filled with densely packed material ratios, just like a Chinese medicine doctor's prescription:

"500 grams of Sun Dust, 600 grams of Eternal Crystal, 300 grams of Resonance Crystal, 300 grams of Soul Dust, 800 grams of Sacred Fragment, 800 grams of Kryptonite Ore, 10 Golden Pearls, 10 Orbs of Justice, 900 grams of Powerful Plane Essence…"

"Can."

Tristan glanced over it and nodded.

"What are your design requirements?"

The dwarf then asked.

The chief priest lifted his full-body robe and pointed at the metal relief patterns on the shoulder armor on both sides and said:

"The eagle wings and the skull are the must-have elements. This is my society's emblem, and this is my personal emblem."

"Okay, got it."

The dwarf nodded and took note, then added,

"Well, I can exempt you from 50% of the enchanting fee, provided that you allow us to engrave the symbol of the Order Alliance on the hammer handle. What do you think?"

Tristan thought about it.

"Okay."

This is a good thing. Not only can it save some of the enchanting costs and replace them with materials of equal value, but the other party's proposal shows that they want to make this warhammer a typical example and a case to advertise the Order-Maintaining Alliance.

"OK."

The dwarf bowed and took out a blank scroll:

"Let's sign the magic contract now."

…

The World of Warcraft universe is undoubtedly a high-magic universe. It was opened earlier, and the Alliance of the Order has also established many bases. It is rich in various magic equipment. In contrast, the Warhammer 40K universe is still dominated by technological equipment. The number of magic equipment with names can be counted on one hand:

Nemesis Blade, Stinging Sword, Emperor Sword...

Of course, these few magical equipments would not be bad in the World of Warcraft universe, probably at the level of "Frostmourne". Power is only one aspect, and more importantly, the degree of participation in various great events is the legendary level.

Although the World of Warcraft universe is rich in magic equipment, this "richness" is only relative to other reincarnation worlds, and the actual situation is not as exaggerated as in online games. For example, in the game, every player can own a "Dean's Staff" as long as he has enough money and a high enough level, but for the reincarnation world, there is only one "Dean's Staff", which is a unique spell equipment. The number of these magic equipment is limited by the output of various magic materials.

This is why Olivia felt heartbroken for a long time when her magic jewelry was stolen, and this set of magic jewelry could also be auctioned for a high price in the Order-Maintaining Alliance.

Tristan waited for a long time in Ironforge and finally got this warhammer. There is a difference between "maul" and "hammer". The latter is mostly "T" shaped, while the former is just bulging at one end. In fact, "warhammer" is called "scepter" in the Warhammer 40K universe.

The Iron Pagoda Hermit has now spent all his fortune on this magic hammer, and put all his savings in his reincarnation career. If he were a lone wolf player, this operation would be very risky, but Tristan, with the support of the Iron Pagoda Corps, can choose to spend all his wealth to build a super weapon.

Because there is no Holy Light in the Warhammer 40K universe.

He must rely on external forces.

......

Mountains of the Moon, Uganda, Africa.

Number 56 walked down the hillside step by step, and looked back at the sacred mountain hidden under the dark clouds and moonlight. In the eyes of Muggles, Moon Mountain is just one of the many high mountains in the East African Plateau, and in the eyes of wizards... it is the Uagadou School of Magic and Wizardry, one of the eleven magic schools in the wizarding world.

Fifty-Six spent a long time in the Harry Potter universe for a simple reason—to learn magic. After the successful brain surgery on Murdoc, Fifty-Six awakened his psychic talent, but the Chapter did not have the conditions to systematically teach him magic skills, so Fifty-Six took a different approach and wanted to learn magic through other channels.

So he came to the Harry Potter universe.

This is how he solved his identity problem:

No. 56 claimed that he was a half-giant, just like Rubeus Hagrid, with a giant mother and a wizard father. Although Hagrid was 3.5 meters tall and No. 56 was only 2.7 meters tall, there was still a big difference between the two, but people in the wizarding world could barely accept this explanation.

Perhaps because he was too old, too cruel, too strong, too evil-looking, etc., No. 56 was not admitted to Hogwarts, and other European magic schools did not want him. So he joined Grindelwald's Blood Alliance, hoping to learn a few tricks from the first generation of the Dark Lord. But the Blood Alliance was a sports organization after all, not a magic school, and there was no way to systematically teach magic. No. 56 was not a genius, and his talent was limited. After learning a few tricks of black magic from the Dark Lord, he looked for an opportunity to escape from the Blood Alliance and find another way.

Number 56 spent a lot of energy to whitewash his identity. He would rather be a "mudblood" in the eyes of pure-blood wizards than lose his admission qualifications because of his involvement with Grindelwald. In the end, he could only find some after-school tutoring institutions, such as the correspondence courses of the "Fast Spellcasting Company".

At the beginning, No. 56 placed his hopes on Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This school of witchcraft and wizardry is located in Ilvermorny Castle on the top of Mount Greylock in Massachusetts, USA, and recruits students from all over North America. Because one of the founders of the school, James Stewart, is a No-Maj (the American wizarding world calls mortals who cannot do magic No-Maj, while the British wizarding world calls them Muggles), Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is recognized as one of the most democratic and impartial great magic schools, and is also the only magic school known to have been founded by No-Maj.

But he still failed to get into school.

After many twists and turns, he came to Africa.

The Uagadou School of Magic is located in the Moon Mountains of Uganda. It has a history of at least a thousand years and is the largest of all magic schools because it recruits students from all over the African continent. The only African magic school that has withstood the test of time and achieved an enviable international reputation is Uagadou.

The admission method of the Ugadu School of Magic is very metaphysical. When students obtain the admission qualification, a dream messenger will bring the admission news from the current principal and leave a token for them - a stone engraved with an inscription. After waking up from a dream, they can pack up and go to the magic school with the stone in their hands.

After No. 56 knew about this enrollment method.

Decided to take a different approach again.

Fu Qinghai once got the dream machine and automatic dream element from the Inception universe (Volume 5, Chapter 75), and originally intended to give them to No. 56 to steal intelligence. The intelligence officer asked the warband leader for these two things, increased the dosage of the potion and the power of the machine, and forced himself into a "waking sleep". Then he caught the dream messenger in the dream and talked about the African Renaissance Strategy and the rise of black wizards. In the end, he persuaded the admissions office of Uagadou with his eloquence and successfully enrolled in the largest magic school in Africa.

The students of Uagadou are particularly good at astronomy, alchemy and transfiguration. Number 56 did not know that at the Animagus International Wizarding Conference held in the future from 2015 to early 2016, the Uagadou delegation demonstrated transfiguration and transformed into large animals such as elephants, cheetahs, and wildebeests, which once made the European wizards who could only transform into small animals tremble in fear and even complained to the International Confederation of Wizards.

A wizard from the Uagadou School of Magic.

A druid from the Harry Potter universe.

But this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that the Uagardo School of Magic in Africa and the Castrobus School of Magic in South America are the only two magic schools in the world that teach wandless spellcasting.

For No. 56, this is very important. He doesn't want to wear thick power armor, hold a power sword in one hand and a bolter in the other, and try to find a way to free up one hand to pick up a chopstick to cast magic - it's really stupid!

The magic wand was invented by European wizards and was introduced to Africa from Europe in the last century. The magic wand can greatly reduce the difficulty of casting spells and increase the success rate. This unique skill of wandless casting can basically only be mastered by magic schools outside Europe. Most of the spells of the Uagadou Magic School are cast through hand gestures.

Today, No. 56 graduated successfully.

About to leave this African magic school.

Wizards also face employment problems. Because he showed great athletic talent and strong willpower during his time at magic school, someone invited No. 56 to join the league and become a professional Quidditch player. Someone also invited him to join the African Magic Department and become an Auror - the Interpol of the wizarding world. But he declined all of them.

Number 56 is not about this.

He doesn't want to live in the Harry Potter universe for long.

"Am I the strongest magician in the chapter?"

Number 56 asked himself this question.

He has just finished his studies.

Can't wait to show your skills!
