Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Why did Khadgar leave without saying a word?"

When Black came to the deck, he heard the old cow Kane asking Finna about Khadgar.

His cabin was right next to Khadgar's, and the old cow could clearly hear the fuss last night. While sleeping with his ears covered, he could only lament that young people nowadays just know how to play.

But when Lao Niu got up early in the morning, he saw Khadgar packing his things.

The girl he had an affair with last night was also missing. Lao Niu is usually not such a gossip, but considering that Khadgar has fought alongside him after all, he asked an extra question.

Fenner is quite gossipy.

She excitedly told Lao Niu the love story about Khadgar and Garona, some of which were described in very detailed and tear-jerking details. Little Xingsing, who liked to collect stories, also supplemented Fenner's information.

Lao Niu was stunned for a while after hearing this.

Is this also related to the conflict and hostility between two civilizations? Is it so complicated? Why is it a bit like the "Romeo and Juliet" he watched at the Opera House in Nagfar?

"Don't listen to their nonsense, it's not that complicated."

Blake leaned over and said to Lao Niu:

"Garona had something to do, and Khadgar went to help her. That's all. There weren't so many weird things. But it's probably true that they are getting married soon. Maybe after a while, after the war. , right in Garona’s hometown.”

"Hey, hey, you can't say this!"

Little Star rushed over and screamed, covering Blake's mouth, and shouted:

"This is unlucky."

"Yes, yes, as long as this sentence appears in the novel, people will disappear."

Fenna also glared at her stinky brother and said:

"Can't you say something nice?"

"You guys are so boring."

Blake pushed Little Star's hand away with a straight face, and said to the trio of warlocks standing next to him:

"ready or Not?"

"It's all ready, Captain, the ritual stone can be activated at any time!"

Evil Eye and his apprentice Yolin Dead Eye are finalizing the frequency of the ritual stone. He assured Blake:

"This time the teleportation will definitely not be bumpy. We modified the magic operation cycle of the ritual stone under the suggestion of Master Sakir, reducing the magic pressure during teleportation. It is already very close to the mages' teleportation gate."

"Then let's get started, don't wait any longer."

The pirate waved his hand, and the warlocks immediately activated the ritual stone. Hunters from the secret passage far away in Cenarion Fortress also began to call, and soon the Shadow Rift was opened.

"Sephiel, take Nagfar to the sea behind the Ahn'Qiraj Empire and wait there for Gaz'rilla to join. I will contact you when the time comes."

Before Blake walked into the rift, he turned back and told the first mate:

"Keep an eye on her and don't let her play all the time. Although she passed the test, she should also read the books in my room one by one. This job will be left to you."

"Okay, Captain, I'll take care of her."

Sephiel nodded.

Next to her, Nagfar looked unhappy, but he waved goodbye to her father obediently. Miss Shipling cheered as she watched the group disappear behind the crack.

She took out the Hellfire Orb from her arms, which she hadn't touched for a long time, and planned to continue her demon unparalleled performance.

Sephiel also wanted to teach her a lesson.

But thinking that Nagfar had been very well-behaved recently, he just let her play, gave her a day off, and continued studying tomorrow.

This little fool didn't know that Black had asked Old Garni to send her test paper back to Tol Barad Island for Dean Blue Moon to check.

If the dean is also satisfied, Nagfar will probably have to receive personal instruction from the dean when he is not sailing on weekdays. Black is still hiding this news.

Sephiel wanted to see the look on his little baby's face after hearing the news.

She looked at the cheering Nagfar with a trace of pity, and said to her heart that this child's happiness was really simple.

On the other side, in the Cenarion Fortress in the center of the Silithus Desert, Black met Rexxar and other Secret Path Hunters in a large room.

They had recovered well here in the past two days. When the pirates came over, Lexa was feeding Misha.

The pirate came over, took out a jar of honey, generously opened the lid and poured a large amount of amber honey on Misha's steak. The big bear sniffed with satisfaction, and also used his wide flesh to He patted the pirate on the head.

"Ouch"

In the loud hawk's roar, the black-feathered falcon with folded wings accurately landed on Blake's shoulder, but then another shadow fell, and Lexa's falcon Spire also landed on his master's broad shoulders. .

Two falcons, one black and one gold, stared at each other, revealing an unfriendly aura.

Hisari Black Crow has not forgotten that she was severely bullied by Spire when she met her in the Alterac Valley. Now that she is powerful, she will naturally bully her back.

From the time she arrived at Cenarion Fortress until now, she has been chasing Spire. The two falcons were tearing and fighting in the yellow sand. It seemed that neither could do anything to the other.

"You 'little bird' are pretty good."

The silent Lexa glanced at the black-feathered falcon on Blake's shoulder with a strange look, and whispered to the pirate:

"Where are your bears and wolves? Didn't you bring them over?"

"I assigned them to guard my treasure house. It is a vast mountain forest, which is very suitable for them to live."

Blake threw a bag of tobacco to Lexa and said:

"This is what you taught me. Ferocious beasts should be left alone in nature to avoid losing their wild nature. By the way, you seem to be living a good life in the secret passage?

Like it here? "

"Quite comfortable."

The orc said frankly:

“Away from disputes and intrigues, staying with a group of peers, roaming in the wilderness far away from human habitation, if there was not an imminent war, this kind of life would be perfect for me.

Look at the vast desert in front of you, what a beautiful scenery. "

Lexa looked into the distance, was silent for a few seconds, and said to Blake:

"It's a pity that after I finish the work here, I will go home."

"Um?"

Blake blinked and said:

"Which home should you return to? Draenor? Gorgrond? Didn't you sever ties with the Mok'Nathal clan?"

"It was cut off. My father personally expelled me from the clan."

Orc Batman touched his falcon and said:

“But on the way to Silithus, I received news from Draenor, which was sent by Old Garni on behalf of Chief Red.

He told me that the ancestral land of the Moknasa clan was invaded by demons, my father was seriously injured, and the whereabouts of my clan are unknown.

I'll have to go back and see. "

"Then follow me."

pirate said:

"I may also go to Draenor in a while to run some personal matters. We can go together and save you the trouble of looking for a boat.

As for your father and your clan, what's the use of going back alone?

Although Delano is small, it is not a world that can be measured with two feet. Let me help you find someone to ask. I also have connections there. If possible, I will find someone to help them. "

Lexa was silent for a moment and said:

"Thanks, but I'm not a pirate."

"No one asked you to be a pirate."

Blake rubbed his hands and said without politeness:

"I just want to learn something from you. Regarding the secret of 'running beasts', why don't we discuss it some time? I also want you to see my animal nature, please give me some guidance.

I can't find many peers in this area. "

"OK."

Lexa was also interested.

It is true that as Black said, although there are many hunters in Azeroth, hunters who are proficient in beast nature and beast control are still rare. Most of them in the hidden passage are rangers. Except for Lion Wolfwalker, there are also few beast king hunters.

But Ryan is an elf.

What she walks is not the way of hunting that awakens the beast's nature, but prefers to control a group of beasts to hunt.

Lexa also has trouble finding a true soulmate.

But the pleasant conversation between the two beast kings was quickly interrupted. Emeril came over and said to Black:

"The commander of the fortress wants to meet you, Lord Black. He wants to hear about your plans regarding the Scarab Wall and the Qiraji Empire's raid."

"You go back and tell your Excellency, Commander. It's not that I don't want to talk about it, but this matter is of great importance. I will give a unified answer after other important people come over."

Blake said without raising his head:

"Explain politely to others so that they don't think I'm an arrogant person. In addition, commander doesn't have to worry about inviting others over.

I had sent the letter before we arrived.

The Church of the Holy Light for humans, the orthodox tribe of orcs, the death knights of Black Crow Castle, the Holy Land of Val'sharah for druids, the Silver Wing Sentinel Fortress of Feralas, and even the Sisters of Elune on Mount Hyjal, etc. .

I have already arranged these.

Now all we have to do is wait for news. "

"!!!"

Emeril's eyes suddenly widened and he said:

"Why don't you tell us before executing such a big thing?"

"This is a strange question for you to ask."

Blake glanced at Emeril strangely and said:

"Why should I discuss with you when I make a decision? Even if you don't agree, I will do it. What's more, we are going to war with the terrible insect empire. How can we win without swaying?

Thanks to the forbidden knowledge discovered by your mentor, Ms. Lin Ge, we can avoid launching a large-scale war and defeat the command center of the Insect Empire through a small group of elite raids.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I believe that the big shots I invite will definitely support my adventure. You should also be calmer, lower-key, and tight-lipped, you know?

Don't cause trouble in the city, and everyone in the world knows about it.

This is a secret war, do you understand? "

"Hey, I think the person who should keep a low profile is you, Mr. Black."

Emeril Shadowguard was going crazy.

She grabbed her hair and said:

"You have summoned so many forces just because you disagree. Are you planning to defeat C'Thun in one battle? Just like the war in Kul Tiras?"

"It's not like that war."

The pirate emphasized:

"We let N'Zoth escape last time. We must be fully prepared this time. We must not let C'Thun escape again. It is the best to deal with among the three ancient gods currently sealed in the world.

If you can't even take it, fighting against the void to save the world will just be a joke. "

After saying that, Black stood up, waved to Rexxa, and said to Emeril:

"Where is my mentor? She seems to have been avoiding me these past two days. Did I do something bad? Help me find her and ask her to look for me outside the ruins of Nanfeng Village.

I need to talk to her. "

"What are you doing there?"

When Emeril heard the name of Nanfeng Village, she fell into a sad silence and said:

"That is the sad place of the Kaldorei. The local druids will never take the initiative to mention it, and there is nothing there anymore, only a desolate wasteland.

It is said that some flying insects often appear there. "

"I know you guys lost a lot out there."

Black rubbed his chin and admired the desert scenery outside Cenarion Fortress. He said:

"I just want to pay my respects to the elf warriors who died there. Moreover, if I want to talk about something with people close to me, I have to find a place where no one will disturb me, right?"

After saying that, the pirate whistled habitually.

But after he finished blowing, he realized that it was impossible for the sky to respond to him anymore. The poor hippogryph was still being treated in Tol Barad.

This made the stinky pirate feel unhappy all of a sudden, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the looks of the people around him.

The blue demon bat wings opened in a flash, like demon hunters taking off into the air, breaking through the wind and sand surrounding the fortress, and flew towards the southeast sky.

Thanks to the substantial improvement in physical fitness after the pirate was promoted to legend, his flying speed was also very fast. After ten minutes, he arrived outside the ruins of Nanfeng Village.

The top of the tower of Cenarion Fortress can still be vaguely seen here, but the wind and sand in the sky seriously obstruct the view.

Blake shook his head and landed outside the ruins of the elven village that was mostly buried in the desert. The ruthless time was not kind to everything here. Thousands of years of neglect left the place without any trace of its former glory.

Except for the remains of the sentry that stood there and mostly collapsed, the village's moon well has been buried under the sand.

There are many ruins of villages like this in Silithus. They all existed as strategic locations during the Quicksand War thousands of years ago.

But that war has ended long ago.

Black did not enter the village. He took out Bwonsamdi's mask outside the village and knocked on it several times. After waiting for several minutes, Bwonsamdi's consciousness came to the mask.

"What are you knocking on? It's rude, you know?"

The troll Death said fiercely:

"How can you be like this? I'm just helping you with something. Please be patient, okay?"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Blake was even more blunt. He asked directly:

"Have you found the person you were asked to find? He should be somewhere in the Blazing Blue Fairyland, and maybe he is still an official in the Court of the Night Faye. The spirit of an elf should be very conspicuous there."

"It's been a thousand years."

Bwonsamdi complained:

"It's not that easy to find. You also know that souls from other worlds can freely choose new shapes in Arden Fairyland, and they may not necessarily be in elf form.

However, I did meet with Huon Highmountain and Narmus Highmountain. Those two cows said that they and the entire Highmountain clan owe you a favor, so they are willing to persuade the Wild Hunt to help me regain it. That realm.

The Winter Queen actually didn't intervene in this matter, and those pesky fairies pretended not to know.

Hehe, you have a lot of face.

Old Bangsandi is convinced. "

"Take my favor and do something good for me, you bastard."

Black said:

"Try to find him, find that guy named Valstann Staghelm. He'll be really useful to me."
