“My son, the day you were born, the entire forest of Lordaeron whispered your name…”
The old and wise voice slowly whispered.
The cold wind howled. The snow was vast. In the boundless white, the black figure was like a nightmare that had come from an endless cold prison. He stepped on death and destruction and walked alone.
Such a scene was broadcast on the laptop.
This was Earth.
On the road outside the district, Kang De sat on the ground.
A shopping cart was piled up behind him.
He went to find Second Senior Brother with the gorilla and borrowed his cave abode to activate his ability to return to Earth. Kang De seized the opportunity to start preparing for battle. It was very unrealistic to directly transport resources from the valley. Firstly, some things were not available in the valley. Secondly, there was a danger of being discovered by the elves if he used a ship to transport them.
Therefore, he could only take it from Earth.
He had to take everything he needed at once.
There was a huge shopping center with all kinds of resources. On the first floor, there were various brands of clothing stores and Sephora.
Kang De first took a set of cosmetics and tools, even the hair removal ointment. Then, he took a few large dresses. Then, he thought for a moment and took a set of underwear and stockings from the underwear shop. He smiled as he took them. This was really too funny.
Of course, his goal for returning to Earth was not to take these things.
Letting the knight put on a female outfit and pretend to be a princess to trick the elf investigation team into taking the bait was only an unimportant part of the plan. The most important part of the entire plan was to fake the scene of a so-called ancient ruin and make those elves believe that the Goethe people had already gotten there first and were about to obtain the inheritance power of the ruin.
Only then could these sharp ears who had a huge grudge against the Goethe people take the bait and even come out in full strength to place all their attention on this island.
Only by doing this could the next plan have room to be used.
Therefore, how to fake this “ancient ruin” was undoubtedly the most important thing.
Regarding this, Kang De already had a plan.
As for the ancient ruins, the ancient races were all very charming. There would definitely be all kinds of impressive and high-level items… He had to scare the elves.
There was such a thing on Earth.
Technology developed and changed day by day. Many ordinary products were already like miracles in the eyes of the ancient people. It was mostly fine to scare the elves of the other world.
In particular, the cultural industry was developed. Various CG scenes and large scenes in movies appeared one after another. For example, Sargeras had devastated Azeroth with a single sword strike. If he obtained it from the other world, it would definitely scare the natives away—how could they tell the difference? They did not even have the concept of CG production.
Things like that.
However, to be able to shock the elves… he had to rely on something useful.
The most important thing in the sword and magic world of Western fantasy.
This was what Kang De was doing now.
He sat cross-legged, and the laptop beside him played the CG promotional video of the Lich King’s Wrath. This CG video had shaken the gaming circle back then and completely established the status of Blizzard Entertainment. Up until today, the scene could still be said to be well-made and shocking.
There was a sword on his knee.
The sword was called Frostmourne…
…on the Taobao page.
It was completely made of metal and weighed five kilograms. The sword was 1.2 meters long and had the head of a demon carved on it. It was engraved with curse runes and was extremely original, emitting a sinister and strange beauty.
It was more commonly known as the sword of filial piety.
He pressed his hands on his sword and looked at the image of the Lich King. He muttered, “This is Frostmourne, Frostmourne, Frostmourne, Frostmourne…”
The enchantment was activated.
The mysterious mixed elements from the white fog in his body surged into the sword.
The enchantment ability that Kang De had awakened could be divided into two categories.
The first type was to extract elements from everything and enchant them again. There was a certain logic and pattern that was similar to the enchantment techniques of the other world. It could be imitated and learned.
The second type was the so-called random enchantment. It injected the mixed elements obtained from the white fog on Earth into an object and produced random products according to the “fantasy” of Earth’s humans. It depended on the face and had an even more vague production pattern, but one would obtain very useful items.
Kang De thought about this before he slept last night. He felt that even if it was the second random enchantment, there must be an internal pattern, just like the mysticism of opening loot boxes.
Without a large-scale experiment, he could not summarize the pattern, but he could still analyze and think about it. If the product produced by enchantment relied on human “fantasy”, the appearance of the enchanted object was most likely directly related to the final product.
For example.
An ordinary two-handed sword could become the Lich King’s Frostmourne through fantasy enchantment.
The all-metal Frostmourne sword used by the cosplayer could become the peerless demon weapon used by the Lich King through fantasy enchantment.
Which of these two enchantments had a higher success rate?
Generally speaking, it must be the latter.
Kang De made this guess. Now, he was verifying it.
His collection, the collection of other gamer fans in the district, and most of the stupid items he could collect were already here.
A huge mixture of elements was injected into this evil sword.
Slowly, the sword began to tremble. The runes on the sword lit up one after another, and the bone-chilling coldness slowly spread. Kang De felt that this sword was becoming heavier and heavier. Its essence was quickly changing, and it gradually approached the legendary peerless demon artifact from an ordinary artifact.
However, soon, Frostmourne let out a low hum. A small crack appeared on the sword, and then it continuously spread. Most of the sword shattered.
—Failed enchantment.
It was originally a very ordinary craft, so how could it carry the terrifying power of the Sword of Death?
A smile appeared on Kang De’s face.
He raised the fragment of Frostmourne. The sword body had shattered, but the hilt and a small part of the sword body were still intact. Moreover, they had completed a certain degree of transformation and were now emitting a terrifying evil aura.
It worked.
It was natural for the enchantment to fail.
If he could easily enchant a sword that was worth a few hundred yuan into a peerless weapon of the Lich King, he did not have to f*cking consider how to deal with the elves. He could directly let the spotted swan fly into the sky with him and learn to throw the weapons down. Not to mention an elf’s ship, he could probably even sink an island.
He did not expect to succeed.
As long as he succeeded halfway, a fragment would be enough.
It was just like the first time he did an enchantment experiment. He enchanted more than 20 watches one by one, and one watch turned into a fake transformation device. However, it was a failed product that was half successful. Although the enchantment ultimately failed, more than half of the device’s appearance was still retained, and it was very realistic.
What Kang De wanted were these fragments.
These “fragments of a divine artifact” could completely rely on their cool appearance, remaining aura, and even the CG images on Earth to scare the ignorant elf bumpkins.
“Then, next…”
Kang De put the fragment of Frostmourne aside and took out another weapon from the shopping cart. “It’s decided that it’s you, Yamato! Speaking of which, if I have the chance to extract the true Yamato, can I extract the element of ‘perfect hairstyle’?”
Elements were injected.
“A true Yamato…”
He said in a low voice, “If there are sufficiently tough alternate world materials, a more realistic appearance, and an increase in my personal strength, will I have the chance to enchant these true fantasy weapons?”
“I’m looking forward to it…”
He continued his work.
Soon, he finished preparing all the “divine artifact fragments”.
“Done.” Kang De stood up and checked the shopping cart. “Let me see. The projector, the camera, and… Hmm, hmm, hmm. There’s basically nothing left.”
He slowly exhaled and packed everything. He carried it on his back and activated his ability to leave Earth and return to the other world.
It was time to start scheming against these elves.
Also…
He could not wait to see… Miss Fran.
