Needless to say, the astute [ Those Death to Those Who Stop Updating ] immediately recognized the object of this article's homage.
Seeing [ the Ginseng Rooster ] biting his pen, [ the Death to Those Who Stop Updating ] realized that the other was stuck in a writer's block.
Come to think of it, when I was discussing creative ideas with [ Ginseng Rooster ] before, [ Those Death to Those Who Stop Updating ] discovered that this guy particularly liked to steer all topics toward the realm of erotic literature.
However, the existence of the Demonic Tide clearly doesn't have a narrow definition of a ditch, which left [ Ginseng Rooster ] unsure of what to describe for a moment.
Considering that he wouldn't receive a one-way ticket in the game world, he boldly began discussing the writing methods and key points of this article with [ Ginseng Rooster ].
An idea quickly came to them, but the two still encountered a real problem—
No one has ever seen the Demonic Tide Vanguard.
Although this title was one of the optional titles provided by [ A Huan ], who was in charge of the Seraphina Dragonborn training project, it is also the one that best fits the theme.
As for other titles, since the main characters, such as the Vampire Grand Duke, the Twin Kings, and the Fallen Cardinal, are still alive, it is indeed difficult to write about them as hypothetical enemies.
After all, the non-existent vanguard of the Demonic Tide is far away from everyone, but the undead knight legions of the Twin Kings are very close to everyone.
While this level of offense might be considered lenient by players, if a fictional scenario were created where these characters suffered a setback, the Dragonborn might not necessarily accept it.
Even Seraphina herself might not agree to this creation. This guy who looks like just a bank manager is, after all, a dragon, with the arrogance and conceit of a dragon.
"Therefore, we must use past events as a blueprint for our creations, although we can certainly incorporate a small amount of 'subtle writing,' right?"
"That makes sense, but has Seraphina really fought against the Demonic Tide Vanguard?"
"Of course we've fought!"
[ Those Death to Those Who Stop Updating ] Seeing the puzzled look on my friend's face, I thought for a moment and revealed a clever look as if I had come up with a great idea:
What do you think the Demonic Tide Vanguard Army is?
"Isn't our confusion precisely because we don't know what the Demonic Tide Vanguard Army is?"
That's it!
[ Those Death to Those Who Stop Updating ] patted [ Ginseng Rooster ] on the shoulder:
"We don't know, and others certainly don't know either. Until anyone produces proof of the existence of the Demonic Tide Vanguard Army, whatever we say the Vanguard Army is, that's what it is."
"Come, tell me about Seraphina's resume."
[ Ginseng Rooster ] pondered for a moment, his previously listless eyes gradually becoming bright and alert:
"After the Demonic Tide erupted, Seraphina stayed in the desolate mountain near Dragonborn Village. She covered the mountain with her own domain and slept there for nearly a century..."
"Hey, you're mistaken, brother."
"Wrong?"
[ Ginseng Rooster ] looked bewildered, while [ Those Death to Those Who Stop Updating ] said thoughtfully:
"You've described it incorrectly."
He briefly conceived what he wanted to say in his mind, and then spoke fluently:
"This is clearly a domain that Lady Seraphina casually created, yet it withstood a century's worth of Demonic Tide attacks, isn't it?"
"Is that so?"
[ Ginseng Rooster ] then realized what the Spring and Autumn Annals writing style was, and began to reflect on and criticize his previous writing style that focused on the lower parts of the text.
Compared to his own ditch literature, the writing style of [ Those Death to Those Who Stop Updating ] is undoubtedly a step above.
He pondered for a while, and his thoughts began to broaden:
"I understand. So, the story of Seraphina helping Gray retrieve the Antasia can be written as:"
"The great General Seraphina broke through the encirclement of the Demonic Tide's lackeys and brought the perilous Antasia back to the loyal Valhalla."
[ Those Death to Those Who Stop Updating ] looked like a promising student and gently patted [ Ginseng Rooster ] on the shoulder.
Today he did another good deed; he successfully helped a writer who was good at describing vulgar and obscene content to become an expert in template articles.
That's truly a great deed.
Meanwhile, after receiving guidance from the master, [ Ginseng Rooster ] began to write prolifically, while [ Those Death to Those Who Stop Updating ] was troubled by what to tell his story tomorrow.
With his skill level, after three days of serialization, he had already figured out pretty much what the players liked and disliked.
The biggest problem now is not that he can't write articles, but that he doesn't have enough material related to Silvis.
So where do the materials come from?
He could only get it from a few gaming guild leaders he knew.
Judging from the timeline, those top-tier players who were so dedicated to pioneering new areas seem to be in Klaf City right now helping Silvis find spare parts.
Root Network hasn't covered that area yet, it seems I'll have to resort to underhanded methods.
He hesitated for a moment, his eyes glazed over, and then he slammed his head against the wooden table in front of him, remaining motionless.
The person Ginseng Rooster paused briefly, looked up in confusion, and then revealed a look of sudden realization.
He logged off without even saying goodbye.
As he said this, he continued to write furiously, producing the wonderful tools that [ A Huan ] would use to train the Dragonborn.
Klaf City, underground.
The mission's progress is not quite what players expected, mainly due to two reasons:
First, the underground of Klaf City is incredibly complex.
Before the Demonic Tide, this city undoubtedly only had one level.
However, it now appears that the subsidence in the city's central area is far more severe than in its peripheral areas.
Although we only reached the central area of the city, the elevation difference there was already over 100 meters.
Sloping ramps are everywhere in this underground city, with the central area clearly located deeper inside.
Changing the map from two-dimensional to three-dimensional significantly increased the difficulty of the task.
The players' enemies are not only the Blood Corpse, but also the native inhabitants who live in this area.
The other reason relates to the main object of the task.
That old bastard Silvis, he never goes straight!
The players initially thought their journey would be difficult but with a clear objective, but reality proved them wrong. An undead knight trapped in a labyrinthine dungeon is capable of anything in half a year.
Over the past few months, Silvis's footprint has covered a vast area, so vast that players have hardly been able to discern any pattern.
Fortunately, the old knight still had the ability to sense the location of his armor; otherwise, the players exploring the area would have had to abandon the quest.
