Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The power of the Wolf God's Dream is dissipating.

Blake's mind is being sent back to the physical world, and his mind is in turmoil.

All he could think about was the "grievances" between Goldrinn and Lady Elune.

He knew that the druids of the Cenarion Order were very familiar with the demigods of the wilderness who appeared to help the elves in the War of the Ancients. Both dead and undead demigods were worshiped by them.

But Goldring was an exception.

The aloof wolf god is a rather magical existence in every sense of the word.

The druids, who specialize in the power of nature, are not even sure of Goldrinn's current state.

Some people say that it died on the tragic battlefield of the ancient war. Legend has it that the wild wolf god slaughtered an entire demon army on his own before his death.

Some people also claim that they have seen Goldrinn appear in the wilderness of Feralas. They firmly believe that the powerful wolf god has escaped death and is still running through the endless wilderness, silently guarding the world it loves.

But there are different opinions, but no one can give a definite explanation.

The aloof Goldrinn almost disappeared completely after the War of the Ancients, and there is no definite evidence of his reappearance in ten thousand years. This guy is definitely a very lonely existence.

Its popularity among the wilderness demigods is definitely not good.

But at this moment, the stinky pirate looked at the blurry demigod body in front of him, and he could already conclude that Goldrinn had indeed died in the ancient war ten thousand years ago.

Well, not completely dead.

After all, it is also a genuine demigod of the wilderness, and its soul should still be hiding somewhere in the Emerald Dream.

And Goldrinn now wants Black to help him destroy the natural sacred object, the Scythe of the Moon, which carries his own power. This request sounds incredible at first. After all, it is the only remaining power of a dead demigod left in the material world. It is its last connection with the living world of Azeroth.

If destroyed, Goldrinn would live in a dream world like a ghost.

Eventually he was forgotten by the world.

But if you think about it carefully, you can find that this is not the Wolf God going crazy. When it says that it hates the sickle that symbolizes wild power, it is not bragging at Versailles or in the opposite direction.

The existence of the Scythe of Luna was indeed embarrassing to Goldrinn.

The reason is just as it said itself, there are insurmountable differences and conflicts between it and the moon goddess Elune, and they can even be regarded as "enemies".

Therefore, in its view, the existence of the Moon God Scythe, which carries both the Wolf God's divine power and the Moon God's divine power, is the ultimate humiliation to it.

In addition, although Goldrinn is difficult to compare with Elune in terms of strength, it does have a quite complicated intersection with Lady Elune.

"Hey, do you know the ancient story in elven mythology about Goldrinn's rebellion against the moon god Elune?"

As the power of the dream dissipated, the stinky pirate suddenly asked Xal'atath.

Void Essence said in a stunned tone:

"Of course I do. Anyone who has some understanding of elf culture knows this story. It is an entry-level elf fairy tale. Don't tell me, you, a prophet, don't even know this?"

"Of course I know."

The smelly pirate snorted and said in his heart suspiciously:

"I just feel that Goldrinn's request is a bit strange. I don't seem to understand the true thoughts of the Wolf God. I always feel that there is something in Goldrinn's words.

It said it was asking me to return the favor, but I don't think it's that simple.

It knows that I am Lady Elune's chosen reserve. It probably wants me to convey some information to the Moon God through this matter.

Tell me again the story about the Wolf God and the Moon God recorded by the elves. "

Black said to Xal'atath:

"I want to clear my mind. Maybe those old stories can give me some inspiration."

"Okay, little master, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you."

Xalatath always tried her best to meet Black's demands. No matter how outrageous the stinky pirate's demands were, she coughed in the pirate's heart and began to talk about that ancient past in a very gentle tone.

And Xal'atath has an absolute "advantage" in telling these stories from ancient times.

She didn't hear it from others, she was one of these ancient stories called "myths". As we all know, bragging is the most enjoyable when used in the first person!

"It is said that when the elven civilization was just beginning, the moon god Elune tried to tame the white wolf god Goldrinn as his spokesperson in the material world.

Just like the story of the moon god and Malorne, the white deer, another demigod of nature. "

As soon as Xal'atath started, he said in a long voice:

"I can testify that this is true. When Moon Goddess and Malorne first met, I was still serving as a holy relic in the yet-to-be-formed Troll Empire.

This incident was such a big deal that even trolls were discussing it.

The shameful "appearance party" Lady Elune is obviously very fond of these handsome and powerful demigods, but unfortunately, Goldrinn is not Malorne.

It is not willing to obey the kindness of the Moon God, and it is not willing to become Lady Elune's "plaything".

Ahem, this is not a mockery of the great Moon God.

I'm just telling the truth. "

Xalatas was silent for a few seconds. Seeing that she was not punished by the Moon God, she became bolder and complained to Black in a low voice:

"For example, after receiving the blessing of the moon god, the big white deer Malorne became a "father" not long after."

"Hey, you're going to die, you can't say this!"

The stinky pirate was horrified and hurriedly interrupted Xal'atas' unbridled description.

Of course, Black himself was skeptical about the birth process of Cenarius, the King of the Forest.

He did not think that the great white deer Malorne and the moon goddess Elune had an "intimate communication" that made the moon goddess pregnant and gave birth to Cenarius.

According to Black's guess, the birth of Cenarius may be more similar to the fact that Lady Elune obtained some life force from the great white deer Malorne, mixed it with her own divine power, and "pinched" a child for herself.

It's like a snail made a human being.

After all, it's hard to imagine how a high-ranking concept god would do something shameful with a wilderness demigod in the form of a beast.

His statement was highly recognized by Xal'atath, and the Void Essence also believed that the birth of the King of the Forest was by no means a "childbirth" understood by flesh and blood.

It is more like the manifestation of a higher power on the material level.

Blake didn't even dare to think about it.

He was afraid that if he was very good at association, he would use his brain to conjure up exciting scenes like Elune in human form and a big white deer, and he would soon be greeted by a scorching moonlight that would instantly purify him and his filthy thoughts.

Lady Elune was staring at him.

This is the true sense of being a god with your head up and down, and saying "Holy Female Boss's Dog Love.AVI" is a bit too exciting.

"Hey, put your bad thoughts away and stop thinking about it. If you want to die, don't take me with you!"

In the exclamation of Xal'atath, the stinky pirate changed his mind very sensibly and did not explore the strange aesthetics of the great Lady Luna and the real XP of the suspected "Furi Control" to avoid suffering "divine punishment". .

"Okay, okay, I don't want to anymore, and don't bring the topic to weird places. You know that my mind is very active, and sometimes I really can't control what I think about."

The pirates complained:

"Let's just talk about Goldrinn's story, forget about other legends about Moon Goddess's preferences. I already knew the fact that Ms. Elune is a beauty.

You can see how superb her aesthetic sense is when she chooses a handsome pirate like me as her reserve god.

He is indeed a concept god of extremely high status. "

Black flattered him and boasted about himself. Xal'atath made a sound of disdain, but still changed the main line of his story to the gossip of the wolf god Goldrinn and the moon god Elune.

In short, in ancient times, the wolf god rejected the moon god's domestication.

The wild and aloof Silver Wolf God felt that rather than accepting the "support" of the Moon God, it obviously preferred to roam freely in the world that had not yet been divided.

It likes to hunt, it likes to kill.

It likes to do things casually and does not follow rules.

Although he is a demigod of the natural alignment, Goldrinn's acting style is hardly related to "order". It can even be called "chaotic neutrality" where everything goes as he pleases.

This is in sharp contrast to the earth monarch Shi Mu who is in the chaotic camp but loves order.

In the legend, Elune tried to persuade Goldrinn several times, but the wolf god never obeyed and still went his own way. This made Elune disappointed that Goldrinn insisted on his savage nature.

The Moon God felt that the Wolf God was unwilling to tame the savagery and bloodthirsty in his heart, thus overshadowing his noble and aloof heart.

The Wolf God was dismissive of the Moon God's comments.

It is unwilling to lower its proud head to any existence.

He even turned against the Moon Priests, disgusted with the elves who worshiped it, and dispersed his mortal servants in response to the Moon God's rude claims.

Therefore, when the moon is full, the bright moonlight illuminates the darkness, as if the eyes of the moon god are judging the white wolf god walking alone in the wilderness.

But Goldrinn was enraged at Elune's condemnation of him, and became even more bloodthirsty and tenacious as a result.

"Actually, the trolls have a different view of the source of Goldrinn's power than the elves."

When Xal'atath said this, she added to Blake some strange stories she had collected from the troll civilization. She explained to the pirate:

“According to some monastic schools of trolls, they believe that the source of the unexhausted unbridled animal power of the Steppenwolf God Goldrinn actually stems from his endless anger towards the moon god Elune.

The more Luna suppresses it, the stronger its animal power becomes, and the more Luna tries to persuade it, the fiercer its fire of resistance becomes. Until the outbreak of the War of the Ancients, Goldrinn's power had made him one of the most powerful demigods of the wilderness.

This kind of character caused the Wolf God to gain some warrior believers after losing his natural followers. "

Void Essence paused and gave an example:

"For example, in the war between the Troll Empire and the Insect Empire, there were Troll Spirit Warriors who believed in the power of Goldrinn's anger to participate in the war. Unfortunately, that faction did not survive in the end.

Because Goldrinn was too aloof.

Just like what it said to you just now, it never cares whether others like it or hate it. This lone wolf never lives for others.

Its indifference to its believers eventually forced those warriors to give up worshiping Goldrinn's power.

No matter how hard they try, they can't get the Wolf God to recognize them.

Even looking at them.

It’s really disappointing to think about having such a cold and arrogant source of faith. "

Xal'atath snorted, seeming to disdain Goldrinn.

Because Goldrinn, who said he wanted to be free and not give in, finally joined the war when demons invaded the world 10,000 years ago.

That was generally regarded as a compromise between the Wolf God and the Moon God, but Goldrinn never responded to this statement. The well-known historical truth is that the aloof white wolf finally dedicated his power to the world.

This seemed to conclusively prove that Luna's conviction of Goldrinn was indeed biased.

But it is precisely because of the story of the grudge between the Wolf God and the Moon God that Xalatath relayed that few druids would take the initiative to follow the wild Wolf God.

Especially after the tragedy of the Werewolf Druid in the Satyr War, the power of the Wolf God was completely excluded from the natural camp by default.

It is definitely the most miserable official demigod right now.

Not to mention the Familia, there are only a few admirers. It is said that Goldrinn's temple on Mount Hyjal has long since fallen into disrepair and collapsed into ruins due to lack of care.

It's really eye-opening for a wilderness demigod to be so miserable.

But Black was dismissive of Xalatath's conclusion. He sneered, and the stinky pirate, whose brain was thinking about the Wolf God's words at high speed, said disdainfully:

"It's not that Goldrinn doesn't care about other people's opinions, it's just that his eyes are too high. How can those ordinary people let the aloof wolf god give them glory?

Goldrinn didn't even show respect to the lady of Elune.

But as long as there is someone who can make Goldrinn look at him differently, the wolf god is willing to generously give him the whole world. You have to know that in every mean heart, there is a disappointed idealist.

The reason why the Wolf God is so indifferent to the world is that it has not yet found the chosen mortal god that it can sincerely recognize.

hiss. "

At this point, the pirate took a sharp breath.

He blinked and looked at the fog of the dream that was gradually dissipating in front of him. He could still vaguely see the spiritual form of the silver-gray giant wolf.

The damn silver wolf still maintained that indifferent look, but in the eyes of the pirates, the wolf god who was about to be forgotten by the world really looked like a lonely old man with nothing.

Holding on to the pride that no one can understand in his heart, he is unwilling to submit to power or share his power with the crowd, guarding his dignity like a miser.

Until an heir who can convince him appears.

Blake snorted, pursed his lips and said:

"I already know the reason why Goldrinn must leave this matter to me. Tsk tsk, what a arrogant old bastard. He even has to rely on others to accomplish such things as subjugation.

But since I do owe you a favor, leave this to me.

Talk about it."

The pirate put his hands to his mouth and shouted towards the phantom of the wolf god, who saw only smoke in front of him:

"Hey, I said, Goldring, don't you think about me? I think I'm pretty awesome too, and we've worked well together before, haven't we?

Shouldn't it be considered an insult to me to inherit your power? "

"You don't deserve it! Pathetic pirate."

Goldrinn roared in response, and the aloof demigod refused with a wolf howl:

"As a scoundrel of Elune, you dare to covet my power. I have never bowed to your evil master, and I will never respond to your dark desires.

Hurry up and do something!

If you delay any longer, I will bite you to death, believe it or not! "

"Shua"

The last light and shadow dissipated, and the pirate's will returned to the material world. He picked up the Wolf's Edge in his hand. This hunting sacred object was once again blessed by the Wolf God.

Make it more sharp and powerful.

However, the pirate did not set off immediately. Instead, he looked up at the sky. He made a praying gesture and whispered:

"Lady Elune, you have also seen that I took a job from the rebellious Goldrinn who refused to obey you. If you are still bothered by his rudeness, I can give up this well-paying job. .

You know that I have always been loyal to you.

So, give me a hint, should I help it? "

"Buzz"

As soon as the pirate finished speaking, a line of words popped up on the translucent character card in front of him:

Lady Elune is very satisfied with your cautious work attitude. She feels that you can freely decide who to serve under the premise of loyalty. But she also hopes you can make up for her regrets.

She hoped for Goldrinn's obedience.

really hope!

"understood."

Blake nodded, bowed to the sky, and said:

"Then I'll try my best."
