Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Little Xingxing is now in a strange space created by the blue dragons with magic in the middle of the Demonic Nexus, called the "Eternal Eye". The welcome banquet held specifically for her has come to an end.

Now he is sitting on a chair shaped by magic, telling the story of Blue Wing Habitat to a group of blue dragons around him. This scene is like having a tea party.

Little Xingxing was talking, and the other blue dragons listened very seriously.

Next to her chair, there were all kinds of strange gifts, all given to her by her fellow blue dragons.

As for the majestic Spellweaver, he only showed up at the welcome banquet and expressed his welcome to the little star's return very restrainedly.

Although Lord Malygos tried to maintain his indifferent dignity when speaking, Little Star clearly felt a tremor from the old Blue Dragon King when he shook hands with him just now.

Thinking about it, the old man who had been alone for ten thousand years should also have unconcealable joy in his heart, but his experience and identity prevented him from showing too much joy.

"We don't have something as powerful as the Demonic Nexus over there, but we also have a pool that can gather the magic power of the Demonic Network. It was made by my grandfather himself."

Little Star picked up the teacup and said to a group of blue dragons around him:

"I was born in that pool. It is said that when I was born."

"Boom"

A sudden loud noise interrupted Little Xingxing's story, which shocked her. The tea in her hand also dripped out. She raised her head in confusion and looked around, trying to find the source of the loud noise.

Could it be that there is a foreign enemy attacking?

But looking at the expressions of the surrounding blue dragons, one can tell that this seems to be a common occurrence in the Demonic Nexus.

"That thing is acting up again."

Tarecgosa rubbed her forehead helplessly and said to a blue dragon male next to her:

"Have you never thought of dealing with it for all these years?"

"deal with?"

The blue dragon man who appeared in the form of a high elf held the teacup, sneered and said:

"Last time Kalec went to 'deal with' it with confidence, but ended up lying in his lair for more than three years. Who can suppress it in the Demon Nexus except Lord Malygos?

It knows this place better than we do, and it can use all the magic here. "

"But we can't let it make such a fuss!"

Martigosa, the most powerful female dragon in combat, clenched her fists. This female dragon, who has been patrolling magic spots all over the world all year round, said coldly:

"I think you guys who stay behind in the Demonic Nexus are just lazy. If you were more diligent, you wouldn't have been unable to deal with a lunatic staff for so many years."

"Are you going then?"

The other blue dragons were immediately dissatisfied, and they all said:

"We all know that you can fight, and we all know that you and Kalre are close. Why don't you go deal with Alunis and see who is more powerful, you or the arcane element."

"I"

Martigosa stood up in excitement, put down the tea cup, lifted up the skirt of her skirt and was about to go to the Blue Dragon Treasure House, but was stopped by Eldagosa.

The eccentric blue dragon lady comforted her and said:

"Okay, okay, today is a banquet to welcome Little Star. Let's not talk about these fighting and killing things. Lord Malygos is probably also annoyed by the chattering staff. Don't worry, compatriots.

There is a high probability that the staff will be taken away from the Demonic Nexus today, and you will no longer have to worry about it in the future. "

The Blue Dragon lady raised her eyes, smiled evilly, and said seriously:

"I have recommended to the Spellweaver a professional who is very good at dealing with such 'weird objects', and he is now competing with Aluneth in a battle of wits.

Let us pray for him.

Hopefully he can solve a troublesome problem for the Blue Dragonflight. "

The other blue dragons actually started praying, which made Little Xingxing look confused. What on earth were they talking about? Why does a staff torture these blue dragons so much?

Who is handling that dangerous-sounding staff?

professional

Isn't this the captain?

Was he tricked into being used as cannon fodder by the blue dragons? ——

"boom"

A huge arcane ball fell from the sky and hit Black's feet.

The moment it exploded wildly, the pirate accurately jumped into the shadow, and then jumped out at another place using Shadow Step.

He looked back at the place where he had just stood. A large crater with a radius of five meters had been blasted there, and violent arcane magic was lingering on it.

And the hall in front of him was full of such potholes.

This was supposed to be a very mysterious and beautiful hall decorated by blue dragons, but now the ground, walls, and ceiling were all like post-war relics.

And the culprit of all this is in the center of the hall, bound by an activated magic ring, an exquisite and weird staff is hanging in the air.

It summoned arcane balls full of destructive power to bombard the surroundings while shouting wildly in various languages.

"It's boring! It's so boring. Blue dragons, come and stretch your muscles with me!"

"You want to control me and contain my power. Don't even think about it! Your magic hub is full of magic power, just waiting for me to reach out and grab it. Look! This power belongs to you.

It's flowing inside me! ! ! "

"boom"

There was another loud noise, and an arcane impact shattered the top floor of the hall, causing the rock layers to peel off. The falling stones were accurately shattered by a series of arcane missiles fired by the staff as if playing a game.

The pirate hid outside the hall and peered inside.

He could hear the deep voice of a man who had gone through many years of life, with a hint of madness, and looked back at Saphiron who was standing behind him.

The latter had already taken off his blue helmet, with a majestic and steady expression on his handsome face.

It noticed Blake's gaze and made a "please" gesture to him and said:

"Go ahead, what you want lies ahead. Take this 'Nexus Scourge' away and the entire Blue Dragonflight will thank you for it. You will win the goodwill of us all.

Over the years it has been stored here, it has caused misery to the blue dragons in the Demonic Nexus. "

"This isn't right!"

Blake scratched his head and complained:

"I heard that the Holy Staff of Aluneth the Protector is a very docile weapon in the hands of Ms. Aegwynn. Why does it become so violent in your Demonic Nexus?

Why give it the authority of the Demonic Nexus?

Are you crazy? Look at the way it activates the arcane magic power now. As long as a weak pirate like me gets hit once, I'll be finished. "

"Watch your attitude, mortal, you are talking to a magical guardian."

Sapphiron first scolded the pirate for his tone, then sighed and said helplessly:

“Its authority in the Demonic Nexus was not given to it by us.

It is essentially an arcane element and has lived in its territory for who knows how long. Its existence may even be older than the history of the Dragon Legion.

The way magic exists in its eyes is completely different from how it is understood in our eyes.

The blue dragon's magic cannot trap it.

The magic power of the Demonic Nexus was used wantonly by it. If Lord Malygos was not still here, it would probably have destroyed the Demonic Nexus from the inside.

As for why it is so violent.

It hates blue dragons and hates this place.

Because we breached the contract. "

"Well, I've heard this story before."

Black snapped his fingers and said to Sapphiron:

"I heard that this arcane element was originally summoned to this world by your blue dragon. That was tens of thousands of years ago. You discovered it while exploring the mysteries of the universe and summoned it to the material world to conduct research. Research.

When I finally released it, I made an agreement with it not to tell anyone else how to summon it.

But one of you blue dragons is a big talker and can't control his mouth. When chatting with Master Maitri, a powerful hermit in the ancient elven empire, he accidentally revealed the existence of Alunes.

As a result, this arcane element was summoned by Metri and was enslaved for thousands of years before being freed after the War of the Ancients.

Well, no wonder people hate you. "

"You know a lot, pirate."

Sapphiron glanced at Black with an unexpected expression and said:

"It's true as you said, the Blue Dragonflight broke the confidentiality agreement, and Aluneth should be disgusted with us. But this is only one reason why it is so violent.

Another reason lies with you humans.

To be precise, on its previous owner.

This is why Lord Malygos agreed to let you take it away. You have the aura of Aegwynn on you. Anyway, don't waste your time, go talk to it.

Now that you know its story, you should know how to persuade it.

You keep saying you want to take away this staff, but now you are holding back. Are you afraid? "

"Hey, who's afraid of a weapon?"

The pirate said so forcefully, stretched out his hand to beat his shaking legs, and took a step towards the hall in front of him.

The next moment, he was noticed by the violent Alunes Holy Staff. More than thirty lights of various arcane magic floated around the staff, all locking on the pirates.

"You! Are you afraid of fighting me? I can smell your fear and a hint of secret"

The deep and weird male voice changed several languages ​​in succession before he finished a whole sentence.

With a strange tone, it said to Blake:

"But everyone has their own little secret, right? I won't ask that. Come, little one, come here, the blue dragons are afraid of me, they dare not let me out.

The dragonflight once ruled the world in place of the Titans, but look at how these guys rested on their laurels.

Haha, shameful and pathetic weakness!

Come here, little pirate.

Take me and take me out of this hell.

Magic built this temple and nourished the Nexus. After you get me out of this cage, let me go, pirate, I'm going to suck it dry! "

"Uh, I don't think that's a good idea."

The pirate laughed dryly.

He raised his hands to show that he meant no harm, and while approaching the Holy Staff of Aluneth in the potholes, he said:

"The Spellweaver is up there.

All magic in the material world can be detected and controlled by it. Unless Aegwynn holds you here, you may not be able to complete your fantasy.

Speaking of which, do you remember Magna Aegwynn?

She sent me to retrieve you.

So, for her sake, don't hit me, okay? "

"She's still alive? No! Don't let her restrain me anymore!"

Black thought that lifting Aegwynn would quieten the Scepter of Aluneth.

Unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect. After hearing the news that the previous owner was still alive, Alunes suddenly became irritable.

it roared.

Detonate all kinds of arcane magic here.

The scene was terrible.

The pirates had to open their shadow cloaks and hide in them to avoid being accidentally injured.

He came to the Demon Nexus with the intention of taking Alunes away.

But seeing this scene, the pirate immediately understood that the magic that Aegwynn had put on this staff and connected with the powerful arcane elemental power of Aluneth had been weakened.

Unless Aegwynn comes to reinforce the magic in person, no one can try to push Aluneth back into the staff as he is about to escape.

But that was the magic released by the demigods back then. How easy was it to strengthen it?

"Forget it, I won't play anymore."

The pirate quickly evacuated the hall, thinking in his mind:

"The treasures of the blue dragons are too hot to do this job. Whoever wants to take the madman's staff can take it."

"Hmm, an interesting variant of an ancient species. Its elemental body is almost indestructible, 'almost'."

Just when Blake was about to hide in the shadows and run out of the hall, Sataras, who had been quiet recently, suddenly whispered in his ear:

"My little master is indeed very interested in these strange weapons.

It seems that you are helpless against Aluneth Protector. You are in such a sorry state.

Indeed, an out-of-control ancient arcane element is almost invincible in the material world. But why not ask your dear, all-knowing Xal'atath?

Little master, let me guide you in fighting this guy.

Although it is still bound by the magic left by Aegwynn, without my experience, you have no chance.

But before that, I need to clarify a question.

Do you want to take it away?

Or do you want to control it? "

"What's the difference? If I get hit by it now, I'll die."

Black stopped walking in the shadows. He looked back at the furious Aluneth's Holy Staff and asked.

"The difference is huge."

Xal'atath laughed briefly and explained:

"Alunes is Alunes, and the Protector's Holy Staff is the Protector's Holy Staff. These are two concepts, two things.

If you want to control it, just like when you took my heart away tyrannically.

Use that evil ritual on the Holy Staff of Aluneth again, and find me a 'neighbor' so that it can also be stored in your body.

Although I have fallen in love with you, it is quite boring to be alone. There is not even anyone to relieve my boredom. "

"This is vetoed."

The pirate immediately responded:

"It is enough for me to have you as a little fairy in my heart. I am a loyal and dedicated man. I am not interested in letting an uncle live in my heart, unless he calls himself 'Zangetsu'.

So, what if I just want to take it away? "

"That would be easier!"

Xal'atath whispered in the pirate's ear, eager to try:

"This impostor is mumbling crazy whispers, what an amateur! Let me show it the correct technique. As long as you can hold it, I will do the rest.

Just think of it as a small reward for my 'little lover'.

"So, come on, my warrior."

"Then it's up to you, my lady."

Black shrugged, turned around and rushed towards the Holy Staff, and was still thinking of teasing Xal'atath, who suddenly burst into laughter. She seemed to enjoy this kind of "flirting" with the pirate.

Unfortunately, both she and the pirates knew it very well.

This is the viper's game.

If either party is caught with the slightest shortcoming, the other party will not hesitate to devour him or her skin and flesh. Well, of course, this sounds no different from the process of falling in love.
