The Headless Knight is truly an unlucky character. He first gained notoriety because in gameplay demonstrations of new characters in the game, the Headless Knight was always the one getting attacked. Later, someone on the Cuckoo Forum imitated his Unlucky Knight style of posting with the Headless Knight 'Headless Knight avatar and nickname, leading to a surge in ridicule of him. Finally, the official release of a video showing the Headless Knight being hit by a four-control combo with a 10% or higher chance of being caught, solidified his reputation as Headless Knight unlucky character.
Many people started spontaneously imitating the Headless Knight comments. In the comment sections related to The Wizard Legend, the first comment was always "There's an end to jokes." This led to the Headless Knight's popularity increasing, firmly ranking below the three female characters, and even surpassing one or two of them in some humorous polls.
Draco glanced around but found no trace of Ella. He first clicked on the "Server-wide Heat Value" event.
"Random special bosses will spawn on the map, and defeating them will yield special rewards," Draco muttered to himself, glancing at the rewards. "I'll check the Cuckoo Forum later to see if there are any guides, whether there's a daily limit to the number of bosses I can encounter, and which type gives the most rewards."
He had just closed the page when he suddenly saw a brown mouse wearing a Santa hat next to his little character on the screen.
Red name...
Could this be another type of boss?
Although Draco is a pragmatist who strives to maximize the rewards he receives during events, he will not hesitate to take advantage of such unsolicited or mysterious rewards.
When Draco entered the battle, it was the little mouse that made the first move. It seems that special bosses have their own mechanics. The opponent used a move called " Severed Finger Escape ". Draco's Ella couldn't even unleash a single normal attack. She could only watch as the mouse left behind a finger and then left the battle. It even waved mockingly and drew a humiliating pattern on the ground with its tail.
"What does this mean?" Draco exclaimed in fury. "My Ella is so fast, yet she can't keep up with a piece of junk rat, and it even dares to mock me! How dare it!"
Draco had long since developed the good habit of immediately reporting any problems to Cuckoo. He immediately switched to the backend, logged into Cuckoo, and vented his frustrations on the forum.
[ The Free-Spirited Dragon: What are the special bosses on the map? What kind of stinky rat is this? It runs away as soon as I enter combat and even taunts me. I hope I never encounter it again.]
[ Wang De'er: It's Long Lao! Long Lao, you're already starting the event? I haven't even logged into the game yet.]
Because Draco frequently shares information about his team compositions and skill combinations across his three games on forums, and occasionally reveals his character levels, many people are already familiar with this nickname and know that the game account associated with it is not only a high-spending player but also a veteran player since the game's launch.
[007: What do map bosses look like? I thought there was a map boss next to me, and it took me more than ten clicks to realize that I had accidentally set the Headless Knight to follow me.]
[ Headless Knight: Even jokes have an end, right?]
[007: The Headless Knight Arrives, Though Late]
Draco had been playing on his Magic Mobile Phone, and he was probably among the first to enter The Wizard Legend; others likely hadn't even logged in yet. He was just here to complain and, incidentally, to start a thread summarizing the upcoming special bosses, not expecting immediate answers.
Meanwhile, in London.
Hermione lay in bed, still reliving the final battle of her third year.
Time is a dangerous thing, like steam and electricity, Hermione thought. If used well, it can be an unparalleled asset; if used poorly... or even worse, steam, electricity, and time are deadly things in themselves.
In the Muggle world Hermione dared not use spells casually, but that didn't stop her from practicing. She recited all the spells she learned and recorded them into a tape recorder, which she played on repeat by her bedside. She looked at the books in the library and knew that the highest level of mastery for a spell was silent and Wandless Magic, and to achieve this, one needed to be extremely familiar with the spell. She was working hard towards this goal.
She learned this method from Director Lorne. Once, when Director Lorne was listening to a class at the back of the classroom, she heard Director Lorne mutter to himself, "How do we control it? Should we insert a magic wand into the tape recorder and play ' Cruciatus Curse' repeatedly?"
Having finished her studies for the day, Hermione tidied her desk with satisfaction, then took her Magic Mobile Phone out of the drawer.
Hermione's time spent on games was relatively short compared to those addicted teenagers; she focused more on the experience. For example, she would watch the entire storyline that Harry Hermione skipped, afraid of missing any details. She even noticed that Director Lorne's background settings in certain scenes had deeper meanings. For instance, the bookstore setting in Wizard Legend still contained Professor Lockhart's books, which had long been banned by the Ministry of Magic.
As someone who loves the story, Hermione has to say that if the Wizard Legend Saga were adapted into a novel, it would definitely be a bestseller.
Lockhart's books are widely known for their storytelling, but the Wizard Legend reach the pinnacle of storytelling. Each daily episode is full of twists and turns, not to mention the grand and complex main plot. Hermione still can't figure out how Morgana has been committing so many evil deeds throughout history.
"The main storyline is entering its final chapter?" Hermione looked down in surprise. " The Chamber of Stilled Time? Is it related to time again? It seems that Director Lorne also has his own thoughts on time."
Hermione immediately began experiencing the main storyline. She found the most comfortable position on the bed, and her hand subconsciously reached for her neck. However, the hourglass that had been hanging around her neck for a semester had been returned to Professor McGonagall, and now it felt empty, which made her feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
In the scene, Hermione's blond figure continues northward, all the way to Somerset, England.
Hermione was very familiar with this place name; in Muggle lore, Somerset had always been a top contender for the legendary capital of Camelot.
Could it be that Director Lorne is trying to connect Merlin, the legendary wizard of Arthur, with Merlin, the supreme wizard of the Wizarding World?
It must be, otherwise why would Morgana suddenly appear?
But the timeline of the Arthur legends is several hundred years earlier than the Wizarding World, so how could Merlin possibly have traveled to that timeline?
Hermione continues to advance the plot, manipulating tiny figures to fight against Morgana's minions and solve various mysteries in Somerset, finally entering the final scene.
This is a dark purple stone chamber. The light is like a venomous insect lurking beneath the stones, insidious and deadly. Unlike the outside, it doesn't draw the eye to every corner, but instead stays on the stone walls, leaving a shadow in the room.
