Shadow Trails in Azeroth

It was already dawn when we left the stonesmith's manor in the gorgeous and dark carriage of the Venthyrs. Of course, there is no way that gorgeous sunlight can appear at dawn in a ghost place like Revendres. At most, it is only on the horizon. A pale, temperatureless white light emerged, announcing to this land that the night full of conspiracy and cruelty was over.

On the carriage that was rocking towards the main part of Nasriya Castle Palace, Blake played with the "hand-made" rock statue in his hand.

This was a "gift" given to him by the Stonesmith, representing a true friendship between the two.

The Evil God actually has a similar figure, which was also made by the Stonesmith a long time ago. He took out the small rock statue of the blind hunter Howling Wing from his pocket, and combined it with the newly acquired "Death Beast Figure" Put together.

The two are at odds.

After all, Xiao Yi was a work made a long time ago.

They were the first stone demons created by the Stonesmith during the Holy Light Naaru's expedition to Revendreth. They were primitive, savage and powerful. They used the broken crystal bodies of countless naaru that were shattered by them to lay their foundations. majesty and status.

But at that time, the stonesmith's skills had not yet reached perfection, so the artistic style of Xiaoyi, a powerful demigod stone descendant, was far inferior to that of the exquisite Death Beast that had just been produced.

Compared with the exquisite version of the figure, Xiaoyi seems very "rustic", especially when this guy was carved, there were some technical problems, which caused it to become a rare "blind man" among the stone demons.

"I love this thing! It looks cool, infused with the dual power of death and rage, and it's definitely very punchable."

The pirate tapped his fingers on the rock figure of the Death Beast. He took the blind hunter who had been following him for a long time and tossed it up and down in his hand with a slight disgust. Then, he shrugged again and said:

"Of course, I personally prefer those old things that are comfortable to use, although now I rarely need this powerful stone demon to fight for me."

After speaking, he picked up the two demigod-level rock figures and placed them in the hands of Maiev, who was resting with her eyes closed beside him.

He picked up his wife's shoulders, rested his head on Maiev's forehead, and said:

"You need them more than me. The current Princess of Sin and the Queen of Sin in the future also need some arrangements when traveling. They can't do everything by themselves."

"I do not need."

Maiev felt the simple intention of the man beside her who wanted to give her all the good things. This made her feel very satisfied, but she shook her head and said:

"I'm not being polite to you, I really don't need it."

As she spoke, Maiev opened the window of the carriage, and in the bloody halo of the sinful lanterns swaying at the two corners, she called out to the dim jungle in the distance like the best hunter.

The next moment, a streak of blood flew over and landed on Mrs. Maiev's wrist as the pirate looked at her in surprise.

It was a small twilight bat, a beast that was abundant in Revendreth.

It is said that every month, the sin lord Dreadhunter, who holds the Medal of Fear, organizes a hunt to clear out the excess bats in the Doomforest.

These creatures are blood-sucking, ravenous in nature, and attack silently in packs. If they are allowed to grow, other beasts throughout Revendreth will soon be exterminated.

The most terrible thing is that more than a year ago, there was an inexplicable Twilight Bat Lord in the Calamity Forest. It was a powerful demigod beast. It was said that he escaped from the Hall of Atonement and soon became the overlord of the Calamity Forest. .

The creature was cunning and vicious, showing no mercy to any Venthyr hunter who dared to hunt it, causing even the powerful Dreadhunters a headache.

"Although I am still in the stage of adapting to the new power, with it protecting me, there will be no danger in Revendreth."

Maiev placed the blood-red bat lying on her wrist in front of Blake's eyes. The little bat blinked its black eyes with blood and stared pitifully at the evil god.

It's like saying:

Didn't we just agree to explore a way?

It has been a year, where is the new life you promised?

I have become Revendreth's "Beast Calamity", boss. If I don't close the net, I'm afraid I will be killed by the sin lords.

"Hey, look who this is!"

Blake let out an artificial scream to hide her embarrassment.

He reached out and took the obedient demigod bat crawling on Maiev's wrist, and while stroking its head, he said:

"It seems that Lord Roathric the Bat, who is domineering in Azeroth, can still stand out even if he comes to the Kingdom of Death. Look at you, this sinful anima is much stronger than before. "

That's right, this little bat with a new face is the big bat Sirik who was deceived by Blake into Revendres in the name of "path exploration".

At that time, in the jungle of Nazmir, this guy was unlucky enough to be infected by G'huun's blood god power and had no way out. It was Black who gave it a way out when it was desperate.

Sirik had no choice but to obey. Now it seems that the pirates have not broken their promise. Loa, who was supposed to go to the Sunless Sea to suffer, has been completely reborn in the world of death.

However, compared to hiding in the disaster forest of Revendreth and acting fearfully, Sirik obviously hopes to go to the Ardenweald, the "heaven" after the death of the Loamen.

It also hopes to use the spiritual seed reincarnation system there to return to Azeroth and be reborn.

"Don't think about it, it's hopeless."

The evil god knocked Sirik on the head and said in a serious tone:

"There is a lack of anima in Ardenweald. The Queen of Winter has ordered the Wild Hunting Group to start processing those fringe spiritual species to obtain more anima to maintain the prosperity of the forest.

Even the real demigods of the wilderness can't please you. If you run over as a fake Loa, you will only be treated as a victim.

Let me tell you quietly that I have arranged people over there. Old Bwonsamdi has organized a 'resistance army' for me, and is gearing up to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Winter Queen.

You can go if you want.

But you have to be prepared to charge into the battle, or even be prepared to die there. Old Bangsang will definitely arrange a good job for you to die. Don't doubt the insidiousness of that nasty guy.

You don't have any hope for Bwonsamdi, do you? "

Sirik was stunned after hearing this.

It was hiding in Revendreth and had no way to get news about Ardenweald. It just knew that the entire Kingdom of Death was lacking anima.

Now when I heard Blake's warning, I suddenly felt a little shiver in my heart.

After thinking carefully for a few seconds, Sirik in the form of a twilight bat howled a few times, flew onto Maiev's shoulder obediently, hid himself in the long hair of the Sinful Princess, and looked around in all directions.

This cowardly look made Blake burst into laughter, and Maiev shook her head helplessly. However, having a Loa as a pet really made Blake feel more reassured about Maiev's situation.

The dog man and woman were making love to each other in the carriage. Ten minutes later, they entered the front of the palace in Nathriya Castle, where a large number of Venthyr attendants were already preparing for a ceremony.

The pirate looked out of the window and curled his lips when he saw the collected black and white flowers. He thought the emperor was joking when he said he wanted to hold a funeral for the three sin lords who died accidentally.

I didn’t expect that He would come for real.

What a disgusting formalist.

"I will not participate in this unfortunate ceremony."

The evil god withdrew his gaze and kissed the panting Mrs. Maiev on the cheek. He said:

"I'm going to meet the Stoneborn general who the Stonesmith has high hopes for. I'll also go to the Ember Wilderness for a walk. If the Emperor asks, I'll tell him that I've gone to the Ardenweald to do great things."

"will you come back?"

Maiev rested her head on the pirate's chest and said:

"As you get closer to the secrets of the Firstborn, I have no doubt that Denathrius and his collaborators will hold me hostage, especially since you have shown such attachment to me.

You did it on purpose, right? "

"How could you say that? How could you doubt my feelings for you?"

The evil god flicked Maiev's forehead in displeasure, and said seriously to his wife, whom he finally met:

"I am showing my true feelings, which of course does not prevent me from letting them feel that they have indeed grasped my weakness. If I predict correctly, after I open the passage to the secret place of the First Born, they will Trapped you somewhere in the Maw.

I have seen this future in my dreams.

But don't worry, I will come to get you, just like I crossed the curtain of life and death to see you.

And the next time we meet, I promise, no one will dare to threaten me with you. If Denathius gives you the Medal of Sin in his hand, remember to be polite.

That's what you deserve. "

After saying that, the two hugged each other and ended this brief reunion after a long separation with an unreserved passionate kiss.

A few minutes later, the carriage stopped at the palace entrance covered with red carpet.

As the car door opened, Her Majesty Maiev, who was holding a red umbrella, walked out of the carriage expressionlessly with the support of several Venthyr guards, and walked onto the red carpet amidst the bowing salutations of a group of Anima Vampire servants.

She was as cold and noble as before, except that she had an extra beautiful jewelry ring without any magic power on her finger, and two petite and cute rock pendants on her wrist.

In the end, I still couldn’t refuse the gift from my lover.

——

The terrain of Revendreth is complex, ranging from plains to hills, rift valleys, and even swamps.

The area of ​​this mainland floating island is equivalent to the entire province of Stormwind Kingdom. It is extremely easy to hide someone in such a huge area.

After leaving Fort Nathria, Black followed the information given by the Stonesmith and headed towards Fallen Pride Village, finally arriving at the ruins of a military outpost hidden on the edge of the rift valley.

This place was destroyed by the rebellion launched by Prince Raysonar, and was swept away mercilessly by the stubborn stone army loyal to the emperor. However, there were actually many hidden details in that rebellion.

For example, there was actually a split within the Stone Corps.

Most of the Stoneborn warriors were loyal to the Emperor, but a small group of Stoneborn became aware of the truth that the Emperor was trying to conceal and defected to Prince Raythonar.

Unfortunately, His Highness the Prince failed, causing those stone descendants to have to hide around as fugitive prisoners.

Fortunately, the stone descendants have a background.

The protection from the Stoneforger prevented them from being captured and executed by their own compatriots, and the Emperor did not pursue them further. He probably spared the rebellious stone descendants for the sake of the Stoneforger's face.

"Buzz"

Blake, who dressed himself in the classic attire of the Black Prophet, stepped out of the shadows and looked at the eerie ruins of the outpost around him.

He could see the broken stones when the killed stone descendants collapsed. Some stone descendants were even killed directly on the resting base. The battle here must have been fierce, even the mountain was shaken. Broken apart.

"General Delevingne, I brought news about Karl. She asked me to tell you that you should wash your neck and wait. She seems to be very dissatisfied with you as a traitor."

The pirate shouted in the dead ruins at the top of his lungs:

"I heard that she was the disciple you taught yourself? I'm sorry to see you part ways between master and disciple.

Karl works for me now, and I have given her a lot of benefits. She has eaten too many hearts to make herself stronger and stronger. Maybe tearing you off with my hands is nothing. Well, I found it! "

Black grinned and held a Solidar war bow in his hand.

The moment he pulled the bow string with his left hand, a purple energy formed a void arrow on the bow string, and in the next moment, it pierced the space and appeared at the target landing point.

A wall was blown down, and with bricks and stones splashing everywhere, the tall stone-born who was hiding there and integrated with the wall roared out and rushed out. He seemed to be fighting Black to the death with his bare hands.

But there is very little a demigod stoner can do in front of the evil god.

Before the short charge was over, several moonlight living wood arrows were inserted into the stone man's body.

And under the stimulation of Black's life, he made the arrow grow on his body, and in an instant, a big tree was created to trap the demigod stone descendant in it.

Although this stone descendant is very embarrassed, he is dressed very powerfully.

His shoulders, chest, waist, legs, and even wings and arms are all decorated with heavy black rock armor. There is a battle helmet on his head and a pair of amazingly large gray rock horns. The tail on his back is especially strong, just like a wagging Like a dragon's tail wagging back and forth.

His skin is green, and when paired with the protruding teeth, he looks like he has a green face and fangs.

This guy is quite powerful, and its strength is higher than that of General Karl, but it must have been injured, resulting in its strength not being at its peak, and it was controlled by the evil god in the blink of an eye.

"I guess you're going to call me Denathrius' lackey."

Blake put away his bow, walked slowly to the bound Stoneman General, put his hands behind his back and said:

"It is indeed true. I do serve the Emperor, but I also offer my loyalty to Prince Renathor. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. I have this here!"

He took out the stonesmith's personal seal.

The moment this thing appeared, the angry General Shiyi immediately calmed down.

He glanced at Blake with his small gray eyes and said in a deep voice:

"You wouldn't have been so embarrassed if you had taken it out earlier. Are you trying my power on purpose?"

"I was just curious if you used an axe, my dear General Draven."

Blake said something that was not what he asked. Looking at General Draven's blank expression, the pirate curled his lips and dispersed the vines and trees shaped by the life force to let the injured stoneman be free.

He looked at General Draven, who was moving his claws and wrists, and said briefly:

"Prince Renasor has reorganized his army in the Maw. He may come back soon. You can't continue to escape like this. Go back to find the stonesmith.

She will give you new tasks.

In addition, use your connections in the Stone Legion to win more Stoneborn support for Reinasol. The Emperor no longer hides his ambition and madness.

You may not know it yet, but three sin lords died last night, all of them noble ladies who had helped Renathol. "

"He has gone crazy! He is no longer the wise master before. He has been blinded by power. We once swore to guard the order of this earth, but now he wants us to kill each other.

How crazy is this? "

Draven scolded a few times, obviously very angry by the news brought by the pirates, but Blake had no intention of arguing with him. He said:

"That is a matter between you and Denasius. I will not interfere. I have a purpose for finding you. I know that in the long past, you secretly set up traps in the other three kingdoms under the orders of the Great Emperor. A magic mirror passage for transmission and penetration.

That's a secret only you know.

I need to use them now to travel to other countries, and you activate those magic mirrors. "

Blake took out a silver pocket watch and checked the time, then said to the silent General Stoneman in front of him:

"I will come back to you at dusk. Seriously, why don't you consider learning how to use a one-handed axe? I think you will be very suitable for this kind of weapon and this kind of fighting technique.

After all, the souls of the last man named 'Draven' could already circle Revendreth several times.

Of course, the cumulative number of his own corpses could probably be laid out from Nasriya Fort all the way to Oribos. "
