Chapter 700: You...Put Poison in the Milk?!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Scarlet Monastery was in the Tirisfal Glades to the northwest of Undercity, the northeast of the spawn place for undead players.
For undead players who liked to explore the land, they had found this place long ago. But due to its difficulty level, players lower than level 30 couldn’t possibly pass it, which was why no one had wasted time on this higher-level instance even though they had found it.
Only players over level 30 could enter and explore it.
Different from the Deadmines, which solely belonged to the Alliance, and the Wailing Cavern, which solely belonged to the Horde, Scarlet Monastery was accessible to both Alliance and Horde players under the instruction of their quests. Of course, since it was closer to Undercity of the Horde, it was friendlier to Horde players.
The Scarlet Crusade had fought the Scourge Legion on the front lines. Many paladins and priests, who fought in the name of the Holy Light and justice, and countless excellent warriors had joined the Scarlet Crusade with glory, loyalty, and pride in their hearts. They had the lofty dream of eliminating all the undead creatures on Azeroth.
However, they had now almost been driven to crazy by their hunger for revenge. They thought that all the people not wearing crusade uniforms had contracted the undead plague, and they mercilessly tortured the innocent people, who they suspected to have contracted this plague.
This was a super large building consisting of four instance zones. The monastery had once been the pride of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the holy place for pilgrims. However, after the war, it became an important stronghold for the fanatic Scarlet Crusaders who were the fiercest enemies of the undead race.
This was a castle-like grand building full of Scarlet Crusaders. The portals of the four instance zones were located in the graveyard, library, armory, and cathedral respectively. The magic portals leading to the four instances were called gate 1, 2, 3 and 4 by the players in accordance to their positions. The difficulty level increased in the order of gate 1, 4, 3 and 2.
Most players wouldn’t waste their time on instance zone No.1 due to its low difficulty level and poor quality of item drops. After all, the players who had diligently explored and raided previous instances had obtained many good pieces of equipment.
Dicas’s party naturally wouldn’t enter this instance zone. After watching Dicas’s raid for a while, Mage Adolf led his party directly toward instance No.4.
“Follow me! Don’t waste time on the Horde players. Enter it directly!” Adolf obviously knew the situation.
His party had one mage, one hunter, one warrior, one druid, and one rogue.
“After we enter, we need to first clear the Scarlet Crusaders along the corridor.” While running forward, Adolf tossed orders to his team, sounding like an old timer with a lot of experience.
“Leader, are you experienced?” the rogue asked cautiously.
It was quite difficult to find a player who could pass the Scarlet Monastery at this point in the game.
“Of course!” Adolf was very confident in himself. As a grand level 9 mage, he had watched the process and was sure that this instance wouldn’t be difficult for him.
“Follow my orders, and I’ll help you pass at least two instances.”
“Okay! Okay! Okay! I’ll follow your orders all the way!” Thinking that he had found a great player, the rogue said in exhilaration.
“They are frozen by Frost Nova! Do damage now!”
“Heal the tank!”
“Missed some. Hunter, unleash the bears and stop them!”
“...”
The first part of the raid went on smoothly. Although some members hadn’t done instances before, they were masters in the real world and could easily deal with the mobs.
After the corridor, they came into a big garden-like courtyard.
The group walked across the courtyard cautiously, trying not to alert more Scarlet Crusaders as they cleared the ones in the courtyard.
Discovering the invaders, herds of Scarlet Crusaders swarmed out and attacked them in the narrow corridor.
The dwarf warrior and Elder Sauk’s bear managed to block the bulk of these fearless zealots with the advantage of the terrain. The Scarlet Crusaders who managed to bypass the two iron walls and lunged at the players at the back were frozen by Adolf’s Frost Nova and then instantly and easily killed by the rogue using his dagger with shining chilly lights reflecting off it.
Even though a few mobs managed to charge to the back, they were not enough to pose any great danger.
“How come I feel like... my HP is not right...”
The dwarf main tank who stood before the herds of mobs obviously couldn’t block and hold off all the attacks.
Although the green lights of Rejuvenation kept flashing, his HP got even lower while more wounds appeared on his body.
“Ah-!” With a scream, the dwarf warrior fell to the ground.
“How come the tank is down?”
“I’m healing...” Elder Sewell was puzzled too. Meanwhile, the mobs rushed toward the backline.
“I just cast Frost Nova!” Adolf roared immediately, “Let the bear take more of them! We will eliminate these mobs together!”
“Hurry! Hurry!”
“Healing! Heal us!”
“???” They still felt like their HPs were dropping quickly!
“Heal me!” Covered in blood, Elder Sauk battled and roared from the center of a large group of Scarlet Crusaders.
A green light bloomed and shined over his head.
The wounds on his body healed at snail speed. “???”
“Milk! Give me milk!” On the other side, the rogue had used all his skills while there were still several Scarlet Crusaders surrounded him!
About to wave her wand, Elder Sewell heard another roar. A blood-covered mage jumped out from the siege of Scarlet Crusaders while yelling hoarsely, “Milk! Give me milk-!”
“Give me milk-!” His face covered in blood, Elder Sauk yelled wildly.
“Me! Give me milk! I’m dying!” The rogue player reached out a hand from the herd of mobs and yelled with tears on his face.
“Give me milk! Ahh-!” A big herd of mobs were in hot pursue of Adolf.
Turning her eyes from Elder Sauk to the rogue to Adolf and then back to Elder Sauk, Elder Sewell felt dizzy while listening to these loud yells. “How can I give you guys milk in such a situation?!”
Her beautiful bright eyes started to turn around...!
Milk! Milk! Milk! How can I give milk to you guys at the same time!? Do I look like I have ten ‘breasts’?
Three minutes later, the five of them all had grey screens.
“What’s going on...?” They had watched Dicas do this with ease...
How come we had been wiped out!? We haven’t even seen the boss yet!
Since there were no druids in the real world, and few players chose this class in the game, these players had the feeling that there was something wrong with this ‘milk’.
In the graveyard, five transparent souls appeared. “...”
“How come the milk was not effective...?” The dwarf warrior said loudly, “My HP got lower with this milk!”
“Leader...” The rogue glanced at his poisoned dagger and remembered the green spell, and he voiced his doubt hesitatantly, “I suspect... the milk... is poisonous!”
“What?!” Remembering Rejuvenation which looked as green as a poisonous liquid, Dwarf Elder Sauk, who had been beaten so hard the mobs that his mouth was filled with blood, held his wounds and glared at Elder Sewell. “You... You put poison in the milk?!”
