Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 296 5. My family is very rich, can you be my bodyguard? --——【1035】

(Added update [5/5] for brother Czh666)

"Master Black, what you just said is dangerous."

When Blake entered the tavern, Moros, who appeared like a ghost, said beside the pirate:

"When you instilled that dangerous thought into Sir Jack, it reminded me of Master Medivh's soliloquy in the meditation room. Do you really want to turn the Uncrowned into the dangerous organization you imagined?

You know, such thoughts are horribly inflammatory.

You have lit a fire with your own hands, and if Jack survives tonight, the flames will spread across the continent.

You also have no control over the direction of this fire.

Maybe it will burn you in the future. "

Moros' words were filled with worry.

As the only survivor who had personally experienced the "Karazhan Massacre", Moros had enough reason to worry that his second master would follow the same path as his first master.

"If I told you that I had no intention of controlling this fire, would you beat me up?"

Blake yawned and said to Moros:

"What can I just say, Ravenholdt is so boring. A group of assassins obviously have the ability to do great things, but they have to be satisfied with taking on tasks and making money.

They can become eagles, but they have to live like mice.

As a member of the Assassins, I am very dissatisfied with this. I just want to inject a little vitality into my colleagues. I just want this decadent organization to be reborn from the ashes.

Their vision limits their greatness. I want Ravenholdt to be great again. "

Moros fell silent.

After a few seconds, he said:

"His Excellency 'The Duke' probably won't agree with your point of view."

"Do I need his approval when I do something?"

The pirate snorted and said:

"If you are really dissatisfied, you can come to the sea and talk to me personally. Besides, His Excellency the Duke is a very wise commander, and he will see the significance of the existence of the Uncrowned.

No one will dare to laugh at assassins anymore, my butler.

Whether they are warriors or paladins, mages or priests, they must learn to fear us.

If they can't learn...hehe.

Think good things, my butler. Countless assassins will idolize me. Young people new to the shadows will regard every word I say as a life creed.

When I call them, there will be countless daggers willing to fight for me.

Just because I will restore their dignity. "

As he spoke, Black threw the last hidden sword tube in his magic bag to Moros and said:

"Tonight, it is not just Jack who will undergo the trial of the Uncrowned, but also you, my butler. Bring the hidden sword that symbolizes your identity, and then complete your trial."

Moros, the undead assassin, hesitated for a moment and held the hidden sword barrel in his hand.

He asked:

"So, Master Black, what is the content of my trial?"

"Um"

Blake rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and said:

"I heard that chocolate cake made with Gilnean white cheese is a delicacy that travelers must not miss. So, can you prepare a cake for me and my guests in thirty minutes?"

Moros was stunned for a moment.

He thought Black would ask him to assassinate the mayor of Keelport or the general of the military port.

But a second later, the undead butler suddenly laughed and put the hidden sword on his left hand. He leaned over to Black gracefully and said:

"Of course, your needs are my goals. Please wait a moment, I will go to prepare immediately."

"Well, let's get some Longgu Port flavored sparkling wine by the way."

Blake said to the steward:

"Bring some more juice. There are children here and they can't drink."

After saying that, the pirate took out the Orb of Deception, molded his original image, picked up a Gilnean tall hat from the side, and put it on his head.

Speaking of which, this tall hat has almost become a symbol of Gilneas.

In this country, everyone from kings and nobles to common people like this kind of top hat. Men wear black top hats, and women wear more beautiful small top hats.

They would also decorate the hats to symbolize different class identities.

The recognition of this thing is as obvious as the gentleman's clothes decorated with flowers and heraldry that the Gilneans also like to wear. In the entire seven human kingdoms, only the Gilneans dress like this.

They are proud of it.

Considering that Gilneas is a dreary and rainy country, it's understandable that they would choose this fashion trend.

The three children in the room on the second floor were all wrapped in blankets and sitting by the burning fireplace. The night rain outside the window was pouring more and more, and chaotic footsteps could be heard coming from the street.

Those were soldiers in the military port, searching throughout the city.

"Why can't we go down and find Uncle Gene?"

When Blake opened the door and came in, he heard the black-haired girl by the fireplace asking the queen who was lying on the bed. After receiving first aid and taking the antidote, the queen's injury had improved.

But he still looked pale.

Facing the little girl's question, Queen Mia smiled with difficulty and said to the child:

"Lona, be good, warm yourself by the fire in the house first, and I will take you home early tomorrow morning."

Her Majesty the Queen understands very well.

It's probably not the first time I've been assassinated. The response process was very professional.

Go down now and identify yourself to the soldiers. Who knows what will happen?

The assassins were able to launch an assassination in Dragonbone Harbor and also knew the route of the Queen's carriage. It was obvious that there was high-level intervention. In this case, the best way was to stay in this place with Ravenholdt's background until dawn.

"Yo, kids, I'm Dr. Black, and I've been invited over to treat this lady."

As the door was pushed open, Blake, wearing a top hat and carrying a medical kit, stepped into the room where Queen Mia and the children were.

He even pretended to wear a monocle.

Seeing the doctor coming, the queen smiled, and the little prince Liam beside her also breathed a sigh of relief. His six-year-old sister Tess, who was held in his arms, had already fallen asleep in front of the warm fireplace.

But as Blake walked back this way, Lorna Crowley, who had been staring at him, suddenly sniffed, then stretched out her hands and blocked the queen in front of her.

"No! You are not a doctor!"

The little black-haired girl shouted to Blake fiercely:

"You're the one just now! The one who dragged us to the roof."

"Um?"

This statement stunned everyone in the room.

Blake narrowed his eyes even more.

The camouflage effect of the Deceit Orb is not omnipotent, as the pirates knew when they got it, but it is a magical camouflage and can be seen through by high-level spellcasters.

How could even a little girl who was eight or nine years old at most be able to see through this disguise?

Hello.

Miss Lorna Crowley, I know that you have inherited the fine blood of your legendary warrior father and will become a very powerful hunter general in the future.

But, can you learn to cheat at such a young age?

"You have a very strange fishy smell."

Little girl Lorna screamed:

"I smelled it just now. It's not an ordinary fishy smell. It's not unpleasant. I'll never forget it after I smell it once."

"Yes, Lorna's nose is as sharp as a puppy's."

The ten-year-old little prince Liam next to her immediately followed and took out the ceremonial dagger from his waist to protect his mother.

But what he said was supposed to be a compliment, but the fierce little sister Lorna turned around and punched him.

"Who are you calling a puppy?"

Seeing that the two children were about to fight, the queen lying on the bed sighed helplessly. She looked at Black, who shrugged and dispelled the magic disguise.

Fortunately, the helmet of Night Killer's suit was concealed enough, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and his face could not be seen clearly.

He put the little fish-man that was poking its head in the pocket of his belt and lifted it up with two fingers. It was the smell of this little thing that was smelled by Lorna.

But to be honest, Liam was not exaggerating at all when he said Lorna had a dog nose.

Benbolba loves to be clean, and this little fish-man has no smell at all.

At least Blake couldn't smell it.

He is indeed a good hunter in the future, and he has such a talent at such a young age.

The pirate smiled and threw the little fishman aside. Murlocs are not a rare thing, there are them on the Gilneas coast, but this is the first time for the two children to see such cute little murlocs.

They immediately walked over to the little fish man and tried to touch it.

But the little fish man stared with big eyes, drew out his downgraded version of Devil's Strike with a swipe, waved it twice in a decent manner in the air, and successfully drove away the two human cubs.

"Then, Your Majesty the Queen, since I made a mistake and my identity was revealed, I will not be polite."

Blake pulled out the chair and sat in front of the queen. He looked at Queen Mia in front of him and asked in a shy voice:

"In your wisdom, what do you think of tonight's assassination?"

"This was not an assassination. They wanted to kidnap me and the children to threaten my husband."

The queen leaned on the head of the bed and whispered:

"The reason why this happened is probably related to Marshal Lothar and the rumored 'Emperor's Sword'.

Gilneas has been involved in the orc war. Our country's interests are different from those of other countries. When there is a threat from the orcs, we can unite with other countries.

But once the war is over, conflict will emerge.

Jean is reluctant to get involved in matters related to Marshal Lothar, and my husband doesn't even agree much with the concept of 'alliance'.

But it's clear that there are people, maybe at home, maybe abroad, who want Gene to get involved.

Thank you for your help tonight, Master.

Without you, my husband would be extremely passive.

It may even affect the future of this country. "

"Well, your analysis is very reasonable. Just as the rumors say, you are a wise 'virtuous queen'. His Majesty Jean is really lucky to have you by his side."

Blake nodded and said:

"But I have no intention of intervening in Gilneas's internal affairs. I came to see you with only one request. Please keep tonight's affairs, including the existence of this tavern, secret.

You will gain the goodwill of the Uncrowned, but if you break the agreement"

"Will not."

Queen Mia shook her head and assured:

"The people of Gilneas have clear grudges. Master, no one else will know what happened tonight. These children are very smart. I will persuade them to keep it a secret."

"very good."

Blake stood up, nodded to the queen, and was about to leave.

But after taking a few steps, he saw the little girl Lorna following quickly. The little black-haired girl blinked her eyes, looked up at Blake, put her hands on her hips and said:

"Hey, you look very powerful, much more powerful than my father's guards. Can you be my guard captain? I will give you a lot of money."

"Lorna! Come back quickly."

Her Majesty the Queen, who had been calm just now, was so frightened that she clenched her fists when she heard Lorna's words.

This stupid kid had no idea who she was talking to.

Although she doesn’t know much about Ravenholdt, Queen Mia understands the meaning of the word “master” very well, which represents a power that transcends status and class, as well as good and evil.

Black waved his hand to the queen, signaling Tong Yanwuji.

He knelt down and looked at Lorna Crowley in front of him. He looked at the fierce-tempered little girl in front of him and recalled what this girl would do in the future.

He chuckled, whistled, and summoned the reluctant ghost wolf Frostpaw.

When the spirit beast appeared around Blake, the two children, including the queen, were startled, but Lorna's eyes immediately lit up.

She stretched out her hand, ignorantly and fearlessly wanting to touch the ghost wolf's head, but Blake grabbed it.

The pirate said to the little girl in front of him:

"Is my wolf pretty?"

"Uh-huh!"

Lorna nodded fiercely and said with bright eyes:

"I like it! Our family's crest is a wolf as powerful as it, but all the wolves in Gilneas were killed long ago."

"If you can find an identical wolf in the future."

Blake rubbed the little girl's head and said:

"I will agree to be your guard. You are very talented, Lorna Crowley, and you will become one of the best hunters in the world. When your father comes back, you can discuss it with him.

The way of the warrior is not for you, but I can find you a good teacher. "

He took a throwing knife that was sharpened into a bat shape from his waist and put it in Lorna's hand. He whispered to the little girl:

"If you are willing to try the fun of hunting, take it with you, go to Lordaeron and find a guy named Nathanos. But you have to promise me not to tell anyone else about this.

If you make a mistake, don't ask me to be your escort. "
