Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Don't look! Don't listen! Good children must learn to consider adults' privacy. Come, Uncle Black will teach you archery. Don't think I'm a stinky pirate, but I'm also an honorary hunting master of secret passages.

I can’t say that I am the best in the world in terms of my hunting skills, but I will definitely have no problem ranking in the top ten! Even Ms. Tyrande, the High Priest of the Moon, would call her an expert after seeing it! "

On the hillside outside Maris' hunting lodge, Blake took out his Solidar Moon Warblade longbow, holding a pipe in his mouth and winking at the unhappy-looking little girl Lorna and the little prince Liam behind him. explain:

"And your hunting instructor, Mr. Nathanos, is a bit 'busy' right now. I guess he will be busy until at least the evening."

"No, he will be busy until midnight."

With a weird smile, Xal'atath immediately corrected:

"Given the intensity of the emotion I aroused, Sylvanas will not 'calm down' until midnight. I hope your brother is strong enough."

"Hey! Don't say this in front of the children, okay?"

Black said to Xal'atas dissatisfied:

"Don't pollute their young minds."

"Hey, are you still using me to pollute you?"

The charming ancient venerable put her hands on her hips and looked up and down at the little prince and girl in front of her. She said in a strange tone:

"Except for not breaking through the last taboo, these two little brats have done almost everything they should do, right? The human aristocratic circle is really surprisingly chaotic. They know so much at such a young age."

"ah?"

Blake's eyes widened. The next moment, he shook his head and said:

"Hurry up and put 'spiritual chains' on them both! No one is allowed to be shy before the age of eighteen! It's okay if they don't learn well at such a young age! Both of them are as precocious as that bastard Alsace, it's really terrible!"

"Hey! That's enough for you two!"

Seeing that the pirates and Xal'atath had reached an agreement, Liam and Lorna turned around and ran away hand in hand while running to Northrend but unable to escape the shadow of the smelly pirates.

Both children have a keen sense of danger.

It's a pity that they chose the wrong opponent.

As soon as they ran out a few steps, they were trapped by a frost trap dropped by the pirates. The burst of frost caused their legs to be covered with ice, making it almost impossible to move.

He could only be approached by Xal'atath amidst the screams, and he touched his forehead with both hands, and put a spiritual chain on the two little guys who were not good at learning.

But this magic will not harm their spirits and souls, it is just a mental constraint similar to "psychological suggestion", allowing them to continue to maintain the relationship as childhood sweethearts but not to try to taste the forbidden fruit until they are eighteen years old.

"What did you do to us?"

Liam held his head and screamed, then was hit on the forehead by Blake's finger. He squatted there pitifully and was about to cry.

Next to her, Lorna behaved better, but her face flushed with anger. She took off her training longbow from behind and planned to shoot an arrow at the pirate.

But then, the little girl's attention was attracted by the photo that Blake took out.

"Hey, this is..."

Lorna looked at the photo in front of her. It was a scene of a mighty giant wolf wrapped in blue lightning looking up to the sky and roaring against the icy and snowy background.

The photo was taken at dusk, and the picture is not very clear, but it can be seen from the semi-spiritual posture of the giant wolf that this is a rare soul beast!

Or a giant wolf roaring in the sky above the snow peaks! Wow, it is definitely the war beast that all Gilnean hunters dream of!

This made little Rona, who had already embarked on the path of a hunter, immediately widen her eyes.

"This photo is an anecdote published by the Dwarf Explorers Association in the last internal publication."

Blake held his gorgeous Moon War Bow and whispered to little Lorna:

"Do you know where they photographed this wolf? It's in Northrend, my little girl, in the snowy mountains of the Storm Peaks, one mountain away from Zul'Drak.

This wolf is a very rare existence. It is not only a great creation of nature, but also related to the shaping of the power of the Titans.

It is the soul mate of all hunters, and as the Explorers Association's internal magazine is released throughout the world, a large number of hunters will soon flock to this snowy land.

I remember you once told me that you also wanted to have your own wolf, right? "

"I"

Little Lorna is a very smart child.

She knew that Blake was tempting her, but as a potential hunter, she really couldn't resist her love for this mighty giant wolf.

She was deeply entangled for a while.

"Rona wants it, but she's just still obsessed with you turning her father into a werewolf."

Prince Liam, who was covering his head, took the initiative to help his future wife and defended Blake:

“But we received a letter from Gilneas a few days ago. The northern lord said that he had completed the Wild Appeasement Ceremony with the help of the Black Crow Master, and he persuaded his daughter to let go of her hatred.

So, let me tell you for Lorna, Blake.

We will no longer be enemies.

So, can you help Lorna tame this beautiful wolf? "

The little prince touched the luggage on his waist, blinked and said:

"How about I hire you? Don't you like money? I'll give you money."

"Fool!"

The next moment, the little prince who wanted to help was scolded by Blake and Lorna at the same time.

Little Lorna sighed and said:

"A hunter cannot tame a war beast without others intervening to help. This is what mentor Nathanos taught me. This soul beast is so majestic, I will definitely not be able to handle it now.

I'm just a junior hunter, and I still have a lot to learn. "

"Well, that's not necessarily the case."

Blake thrust the photo into little Lorna's hands, winked and said to the promising little hunter:

“I know that this giant wolf named ‘Zhu Ri’ has a ‘fatal weakness’. If you try to tame it head-on, you will definitely be bitten to death by it, and then eat it as a midnight snack delivered to your door.

But if you can catch its weakness and you are cunning enough, there is no chance that it will become your soul mate. "

At this point, Blake made a rubbing motion with his fingers.

He said to Lorna:

"But I can't give you this valuable knowledge for nothing, right?"

"What do you want me to do?"

Lorna lowered her head and thought for several minutes, and finally raised her head to look at Blake. There was still the anger of the little girl in her eyes, but the hunter's persistence made her finally choose to let go of the little hatred in her heart.

"That's good."

Blake laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Lorna's little head, and said:

"After the incident in Northrend is over, go to the High Mountains of the Broken Islands to receive a full set of hunter training. Your talents should not be wasted. You are not allowed to leave the High Mountains until you become a master of hunting.

This is for your own good, future Miss Guns N’ Roses of Gilneas.

And you, Liam.

You and Lorna go there together, I want to change your destiny, I have programmed your future, and I really look forward to your future growth. "

After saying that, the pirate looked back at his dark little girlfriend and said:

"My dear Xal'atath, please take them to the Storm Peaks. Just treat it as a sightseeing trip."

"OK."

The always evil Xal'atath readily accepted this task. She didn't even bargain, she just raised three fingers and waved at Black.

The meaning of this gesture made the pirate's face turn pale for a while, and his lower back began to hurt.

He shook his head and held up a finger in response.

Xal'atath snorted in displeasure, and finally withdrew one finger and turned it into two. The two of them each took a step back. This was considered a dirty and dark deal between adults in front of the two children.

"You have to rely on yourself to find traces of the sun in the snowy mountains. This is very difficult for you, so I will send my big wolf Frostclaw to help you."

The pirate handed something to Lorna, who looked excited and expectant, and said:

"After you find a Sun, don't try to tame it right away. Keep the minimum contact first, and then look for opportunities to tell it that you can help its owner recover from a terrible fall.

Show this emblem to it and ask it to sign the Beast Pact with you.

Of course, with your current soul tenacity, you cannot withstand the pressure brought by a soul beast, so that is just equivalent to restraining 'belonging' in advance.

It's equivalent to giving you a chance.

It's not until you return from Highmountain's Marksman Camp that you can truly tame the Sun Chaser.

The soul beasts are all a bunch of unruly bastards. If you don't defeat them on your own, they won't truly belong to you. I think Nathanos should have taught you this. "

"Yeah, I know."

Lorna nodded and kept the Hall of Valor emblem in her hand properly before leaving the place with Prince Liam under the leadership of Xalatas.

Watching Xalatas leave with the two children, the pirate shrugged, turned around, picked up his bow and disappeared into the snow with a flash.

Ten minutes later, near a destroyed temple in Zul'Drak, Black found Maiev, who was investigating and tracking here. He appeared in the shadow beside the warden, and the two dogs and men were very close to each other. close.

And in front of them, the black knights who had not seen each other for more than a month were digging around in the ruins. This group of cursed knights also got a lot of black-clothed servants for them locally, digging the ruins of the temple to look like an archaeological site.

They seemed to have discovered an ancient tomb here. Several large boxes had been piled up next to the excavation site, and two black knights were guarding there.

At first glance, this scene shows that this group of Azeroth's "top treasure hunters" have discovered something incredible.

"These losers are hopeless!"

Blake complained:

"Let them serve as the vanguard for His Majesty Lothar, but the battle is still going on over there and they come to dig graves. They are really unworthy bastards."

"Say what you say!"

Maiev scolded in a low voice:

"Take your hands out of my clothes! You haven't been taught enough by Xal'atath, have you?"

"Ahem, I'm used to it."

The pirate withdrew his fingers in embarrassment and put them under his nostrils for a sniff. This salty action made Maiev furious, and she wanted to turn around and give the stinky pirate a knife.

But just before Maiev broke out, a rush of wind came from high in the sky, causing both of them to raise their heads at the same time. Ten seconds later, the Death pirate flagship belonging to the cursed pirate Gaboya swayed down from the sky.

This dark and majestic pirate ship landed next to the ground excavation site, and the ship's planks were lowered. The black knights immediately commanded their black-clothed servants to send the collected treasures onto the ship.

Good guy!

It turns out that it's not just the Black Knight who's fishing on the battlefield, but the bastard Gaboa is also involved. With the help of this pair of "crouching dragons and phoenix chicks", His Majesty Lothar's great cause of conquest will have no need to worry about being undefeated!

"Enough! How can we deal with the undead disaster with such insects! As the 'Hand of the Lich King', I really can't stand it anymore. I must teach His Majesty Lothar a lesson to his incompetent subordinates."

Blake scolded righteously:

"Let's go to that ship to see what good things they have got recently. We'll share half of it when we meet. This is the rule of pirates."

"Do you always talk about robbery in such a high-sounding way?"

Maiev said in a contemptuous tone, blinking her eyes:

"No wonder your peers hate you so much."

"Why do I care what they think? No matter how much they hate me, they have to learn from me. I am the benchmark in the pirate world of Azeroth!"

Blake snorted proudly.

He stopped bickering with Maiev, and instead slipped onto Gaboa's Deathship with the Warden Lady. As a result, Black frowned as soon as he got on the ship.

Maiev beside him also summoned her own Thorn Blade Wheel.

The two looked at each other and immediately walked quickly towards Gaboa's captain's cabin in silence.

They felt the chaos of divine power. Three completely different forces were colliding and rolling, like a suppressed bomb that might explode at any time.

Needless to say, this must be because the greedy guy Gaboa continuously extracted the divine power of two Loa, causing him to be a little unable to control the surge in power.

Like a python that has swallowed an elephant, it is definitely full, but there is also the risk of being stuffed to death.

"boom"

The closed captain's room door of the Death was kicked open by Blake.

He walked into it with the cheering and screaming pirate sword, and at a glance he saw the old troll pirate lying on the luxurious element captain's chair, holding his stomach and groaning, with a painful look on his face.

The latter's expression looked very much like he was constipated.

But looking at his bulging cheeks and neck, you can tell that this guy is in great pain now.

He was clumsily trying to coordinate the three divine powers within him, but it was difficult for him to do it on his own.

"What are you doing, you bastard?"

Blake stepped forward in amazement and circled around the painful Gaboa several times. He rubbed his chin, blinked and said:

"Are you planning to commit suicide because you don't want to live anymore? This is the first time I've seen a troll that swallowed too much divine power and was about to choke to death. Tsk, tut, I still have to learn from you in terms of greed. ah."

"Stop talking sarcastically and help me."

Gaboa wailed:

"I'm about to go find you, my dear Black, save your stupid friend, I overestimated my appetite, and the conflict of divine powers between the two Loa almost killed me!"

"Hey, you need to pay someone for help. Do you understand the rules?"

Blake picked up his pipe and said in a long voice:

"For a powerful pirate like me to come out to help, it's unreasonable for you not to give me something good."

"Take whatever you like!"

Gaboa held his big belly as if he was about to give birth to a baby, and howled miserably:

"Besides this ship, I'll give you whatever you want, damn it! Help, I'm in pain!"

"That's what you said."

A light flashed in the pirate's eyes, and he stepped forward with a smile and patted Gaboa's bulging belly like a big fat man, making it make a muffled sound like a bag filled with water.

Through this contact, an entry on Gaboa's situation immediately appeared in front of the pirates:

Name: Disaster of the South Sea/Gaboa "The Cursed"

Race: Descendant of the Serpent/Resurrected Undead

Occupation: Level 60 Pirate·Elite/Level 60 War Druid·Serpent Form·Elite/Level 60 Witch Doctor·Elite

Legendary profession: Level 12 Elemental Lord [Flesh Form]·Leader/Level 12 Faith Thief·Leader

Mythical profession: Level 0 Loa [Promoting]

Status: Serious conflict between Storm/Shadow/Poison powers

Endless hunting·Weakness discovery:

In order to obtain the powerful Loa power for itself, the greedy Gaboa indiscriminately stole the power of two Loa gods with completely different divine attributes, plus the power of the Troll Pirate Priesthood that it designed for itself. , the three divine powers could not complete the fusion in his body, causing him to enter the worst state of divine power chaos.

If he could not help him complete Loa's promotion before his body was burst by the divine power, this greedy and unlucky pirate would die in an unprecedented funny way and become the laughing stock of the entire Azeroth pirate community.

Character description:

The greedy and ambitious pirate captain Gaboa is only one step away from his lifelong goal, but he is dying of pain, which means he has to accept a sad fate.

Even if he becomes a god, he still has to be inferior to others.

Perhaps no one would laugh at his ambition, but everyone would laugh at him when he was only one step away from victory but fell into the abyss of failure because of his own stupidity.

The premise is that he has to survive the chaotic divine conflict that is about to break out.

"Tsk, tsk, if you meet another doctor for your disease, it will definitely be hopeless."

The pirate held his pipe in his mouth and winked proudly at Gaboa, who was so uncomfortable that he kept howling. He said:

"But the magical Black never disappoints those who have expectations for him. My poor Gaboa, bear with me, I will take you to a doctor right now.

Oh, by the way, in order to prevent you from dying suddenly, do you want to buy a life insurance policy from Goblin first, and then write my name as the beneficiary? "
