Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Blake was just so happy. As a pirate, he must be happy to see his beloved ship become so majestic.

But that mouth of his... Well, I won't say anything anymore.

In short, after some comfort, the pirate who was all wet finally returned to his loyal ghost ship. And when he was sitting in the more spacious captain's cabin, the entries for the Nagfar in the character card were finally sorted out and took on a new look:

Name: Nagfar

Quality: Legend

Status: The hull is moderately damaged [can be repaired. Magic wood is required]

Special effects:

Forged from Dragon Bones [Black Dragon Disaster]:

With the assistance of Captain Blake Shaw, the Nagfar finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish and became a real keel battleship. Because of the extensive use of black dragon keels during the transformation process, the new hull of the ghost ship also has some characteristics of the black dragon.

Its defense is greatly enhanced, its impact power is increased several times, it is no longer afraid of flames, and it also has a certain degree of magic resistance.

But completing the keel casting is just the beginning.

This ghost ship still has great potential. It is seeking to transform from a soul boat into a real ghost battleship.

If Captain Black Shaw can continue to provide it with more black dragon keels and find more and better magic wood, the Nagfar can continue to transform itself.

Until it reaches the limit of how much a ghost ship can grow.

New special effects:

Ambition【0/3】:

The completion of the keel casting has ignited new ambitions for the legendary battleship Nagfar. It is eager to pursue strength with its captain.

Until one day he returned to the Abyss of Hades and told Hela its anger over the past tens of thousands of years.

But to achieve this arrogant goal, the Nagfar feels that it needs to transform itself at least three more times.

Special effects upgrade:

1. Ghost Battleship【1425/2000】

The powerful hull allows the Nagfar to restrain more ghosts, which can be used to gain an advantage in gang-hopping and raiding battles.

2. Ghost Guard【0/200】

After the hull is strengthened, the Nagfar can extract the black dragon essence contained in the hull and transfer it to the imprisoned powerful ghost spirit body, creating an enhanced guard for guarding the ghost ship.

Their lethality and defense will be greatly enhanced.

However, as a guard, it can only be used as a defense force for the ship's hull and cannot fight without the ghost ship.

New skills:

1. Submarine hunting:

The strong hull makes the Nagfar no longer afraid of battle.

When fighting with the captain, it becomes more confident of winning.

Under the command of Black Shaw or Sephiel, the ghost ship can launch a brutal collision against a specific target on the sea surface from underwater.

Any ship whose size and defense are weaker than that of the Nagfar will have a high chance of being hit by the keel and tearing the hull apart, and a small chance of causing a [rollover] effect.

2. Charge of the sea (pseudo):

Because of the captain's unrealistic fantasies and demands, the hard-working Nagfar has been secretly learning the battleship's fighting methods, but it is still in the learning stage and therefore lacks confidence.

When sailing on the sea, if the number of our own fleet is greater than that of the enemy fleet, the Nagfar will be confident. Under the command of Blackshaw or Sephiel, you can launch a brutal attack on enemy warships at close range.

Ships that are weaker in size and defense than the Nagfar have a high chance of being torn apart by the keel collision, and a small chance of causing a [Crush] effect.

If the number of our own fleet is smaller than that of the enemy fleet, the Nagfar will adopt a defensive strategy rationally. This skill cannot be activated in this case.

"You are really cowardly."

Blake read the entry on the upgraded Nagfar in detail.

It was fine in the front, but when the sea charged (pseudo) in the back, he couldn't help but frown, patted his captain's table, and said to his beloved boat:

“You’re learning from me, right?

You can attack someone underwater, but you can't fight them head-on. What's the reason for your lack of confidence? You are a ship, okay?

Even if it breaks, it can still be repaired, so what are you afraid of? "

The ship spirit was unwilling to answer the question, and it remained silent, giving the pirate a headache.

"Forget it."

Blake waved his hands and said:

"In a few days, we will attack the rogue port. Then we will test the combat effectiveness of your new hull. Now go and clean up the ship, mend the tattered places, and make ends meet first.

After taking care of the North Sea pirates, I'll get you some good wood.

Well, speaking of North Sea pirates, I wonder how Grayson’s operation to persuade them to surrender is going? If all goes well, we will be about to welcome the third ghost ship in the fleet.

I heard it is also a ghost gunboat with powerful firepower.

Look at them, then look at you. Okay, I won’t say any more, don’t throw me out, okay? I am the commander after all, and the issue of face is very important.

Next time if something happens, let’s deal with it privately, okay? "

——

At the same time that the Nag'far completed the keel casting, it was on the other side of the Northrend Sea, on the edge of the frozen sea outside the area called Howling Fjord, in the easternmost part of this ice-covered bitter cold continent.

After accepting Blake's order, Ghost Captain Grayson came first to inquire about information and "persuad surrender" by the way, and finally found the target of his trip.

In a large, inaccessible glacier, in a dangerous sea full of broken ice, the Jotunheim Force was moving forward at a very slow speed.

Fortunately, this ghost ship can sail flexibly under Grayson's control. Otherwise, ordinary ships would not dare to enter this kind of sea area. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed.

"It's right in front."

The blue spirit captain had his hands on his hips and a somewhat rusty telescope in his hand. He stepped on the side of his ghost ship and looked around at the cold glacier ahead.

He could vaguely see a tattered black warship docked in a small bay in the glacier. It was not anchored, but it remained docked in silence.

It was a true ghost ship.

The entire ship was pitch black, as if it had been burned by fire. The broken and decaying hull was covered with repaired wooden boards that were different in color from the hull.

Like a dirty rag with many patches on it.

Its size is large.

According to the specifications of the Kul Tiras fleet, this ship is at least a second-class battleship. The number of black naval guns installed on the shabby hull is comparable to that of a first-class battleship.

However, it can be seen from the appearance that this is a gunboat transformed from a large merchant ship. It has only two artillery decks, but with so many guns installed on it, it seems a bit top-heavy.

Above the towering main mast on the deck, a red pirate flag hangs brightly, representing its ownership and identity.

But the pirate flag, like the ship, was already in tatters, and it felt like it hadn't been replaced for at least several decades.

As he got closer to the strange ship, Grayson saw more details.

The tattered hull of this black ship was covered with seaweed, and there were a lot of barnacles on the hull. The hull was soaked and turned white, as if it had been fished out again after sinking underwater for more than ten years.

"Tsk, tsk, if the Commander sees this ship, he will definitely go crazy."

Grayson put away the telescope and complained:

"Despite the commander's usually fierce appearance, he has some quirks. I have discovered that he has an almost paranoid pursuit of the cleanliness of the ship.

Just like the requirements of the navy, every ship must be neatly maintained.

Are you right?

Little Jotun? "

The ghost pirate didn't know who he was talking to, but he did appear to be talking to someone, even though he was the only one on the Vrykul plundering ship.

But if you look carefully, you can find that there is a blood-red evil magic circle under the deck of this dragon-headed ship, as if it is smeared with blood.

"Fly our pirate flag! Show my old friend a good look."

Grayson gave the order.

On the empty deck mast behind him, the undead fleet's pirate flag composed of crows, daggers and skulls was quickly hung on the top of the mast as the cable worked on its own.

The raising of the flag was immediately noticed by the broken ship parked not far away.

As Grayson watched, several ghost sailors rushed out of the dilapidated gunboat and aimed the guns at his side.

"What kind of bastard dares to get close to the Sisters of Mercy!"

The ghost sailor on the ship yelled and cursed rudely:

"Another weakling from Port of Scoundrels? Get out of here! Today is the day of prayer for the evil and crazy Captain Alrez. We don't kill anyone, but if you come any closer, your toy ship will be doomed!"

"Ha, a day of prayer? I knew that old dog has been dead for almost a hundred years, and he still can't change his hypocrisy! If the Holy Light knew that there was a believer like him, he would definitely send a paladin to come all the way. Get rid of this disgraceful thing like him."

Captain Grayson stood at the bow of the ship and spat rudely to the side. He shouted:

"You blind bastards look like rookie sailors at first glance.

Go and tell Elres that his old rival, Captain Grayson, the powerful pirate who killed him in the golden waters of the South China Sea, has come to visit him.

I have something important to talk to, the 'former' leader of the North Sea pirates.

This is a big business, and you brats can't decide it.

Go and report it quickly, and ask him to come to my ship to talk secretly with me. "

This self-introduction made several ghost sailors on the Sister of Mercy look at each other. Their captain Elres had been dead for decades.

As a result, the guy in front of me actually said that he had beaten his captain in the South China Sea. Doesn't it mean that the ghost pirate in front of him was from the same era as his captain?

Then he must have been dead for at least seventy or eighty years.

"Just wait patiently! It depends on the captain's mood to see you. If you dare to move, I will blast you to death with a cannon!"

Several water spirits discussed it and sent an unlucky pirate trainee to inform their captain and threaten Grayson at the same time.

The old pirate is not a coward at all.

He sat on the edge of his boat, took out a bottle of South Sea rum, and took a few sips with a leisurely look on his face.

And the pirate trainee rushed into his captain's cabin. Before he could speak, Captain Alrez, who was kneeling to pray to a tattered and decaying holy light icon, raised his hand and drew his musket.

With a bang, he opened the guy's head with a bullet.

It is inexcusable for you to dare to interrupt your confession during your monthly prayer day!

Well, even though he is a pirate, he is still so sincere, which proves that the ghost captain in front of him is not a serious pirate. But there are ghosts on the ship, and bullets alone cannot kill them.

The pirate trainee who had his head blown off quickly recovered. He touched his head and said to his captain:

"There's a guy named Grayson outside who said he wanted to"

"boom"

Another shot came, blowing the unfortunate guy's head open again.

"Who? Old dog Grayson? Why didn't you tell me earlier! You bastard, I have many scores to settle with him for hundreds of years."

Captain Alrez, who looked calm just now, will now be as angry as an ox.

He stood up, grabbed his blue pirate hat, put it on his head, covered his strong Mediterranean hairstyle, and rushed out of the captain's room with his musket in hand.

Compared to Grayson, who maintained his middle-aged form, Captain Alrez was already very old when he died, and naturally looked like a skinny and crazy old man in his ghost form.

The captain's uniform seems to be one size too big.

But when he rushed out, he looked angry.

But when he walked to the deck and saw Grayson drinking on a Vrykul ship ahead, Elres's expression became complicated again.

There was some nostalgia, some gritted teeth, and finally a smile appeared on the gloomy face.

"Hey, old dog Grayson, are you really dead? It must feel terrible to have your body corroded by a curse, right?"

Elles lay on the side of his tattered boat and shouted sarcastically:

"When you defeated me with the Tide Stone, I cursed you. I said you would definitely die in the hands of that evil thing. Ha, was I right?

You poor thing!

Why don't you see your good friend Sandel? Where is that sly old dog? He robbed my boat back then, and I haven't even settled the score with him yet!

I have written down all these shames in my diary one by one, and I will settle the accounts with you today. First mate, first mate! Bring me my diary! "

"What are you shouting for! You old and immortal bitch."

Grayson also cursed without fear:

"Sander died in the hands of a group of fishmen. I also died. Your curse came true. If I hadn't been rescued by a junior, I would still be guarding the lighthouse in the Western Wilderness.

But then again, aren’t you dead too?

We two old ghosts who lived more than a hundred years ago, what’s the point of talking about these past things here? Come on, come on my boat and let's have a good chat.

I came here with a mission.

Look at you, poor thing, being kicked out by your own descendants from the rogue harbor you built with your own hands, and hiding in such a useless place. It's so embarrassing.

It's as disgraceful as it was a hundred years ago. "

"you."

Grayson's words undoubtedly hit Captain Alrez's most irritating taboo.

The old pirate gritted his teeth and raised his left hand.

His ghost gunboat seemed to be awakened.

The more than thirty naval guns on the left side automatically raised their muzzles without anyone in charge, waiting for Elreis's order to sink Grayson and his ship in front of him.

"You dare to fire?"

Grayson put his hands on his hips without fear and shouted:

"Your Sister of Mercy was such a beautiful ship back then. Look at what she looks like now. What a bear you have turned her into? If you dare to fire a volley from the left bow, your ship will fall apart immediately.

You can't hide this from me.

I am also the captain of a ghost ship now, and the screams of pain from your ship cannot be hidden from me.

It was too badly injured.

It can no longer support your anger.

Those of us who are captains must consider our own ship first before doing anything. So, stop being pretentious, Elres, come over here, and let's talk big business!

My fleet is going to attack the rogue port and Hela's thugs. The end of the North Sea fanatics is coming.

And you, an old lone wolf who was ruthlessly abandoned by your cubs and can only hide in the nest and lick your wounds, need to find a new wolf pack to accept you so that you will not be forgotten by the world.

Come, Elreth, join us, enjoy the eternal voyage and plunder, and let the world think of you and fear you again.

If you choose to say no, my old man.

Then your ship will probably have a new owner soon. "
