Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Three hours later, a crescent moon climbed up in the night sky little by little, and finally hung above the pirates' heads.

In the ruins of Shandara, which had been slaughtered by the demons, Black, who was sitting under the ruins of the ruins of the Temple of Elune, quietly opened his eyes.

The temple he was in had been completely destroyed in the impact more than 6,000 years ago, and only a few broken crystallized stone pillars remained, symbolizing the glory of the past.

In such a big explosion that year, it was impossible for any complete arcane relic to remain. Everything in this city was torn to pieces by the violent crystallized magic power.

Only the pool of water in front of me remained.

Most of its arc shape like the full moon has been destroyed, but the water flow in it is still calm, but only a thin layer of water spray remains after thousands of years of circulation.

This is the Moon Well, which emits strange water with gentle stars under the moonlight.

It can heal wounds and is the most important spellcasting material for the Moon God Priests. It is also the manifestation of the power of the Moon God Elune in the world of Azeroth.

The thousand-year-old moon well in front of the pirates has lost its healing power, but it is enough for Black to complete his black moon ritual.

Blake ritually took off his helmet and took off his clothes one by one. He only wore close-fitting blue boxer briefs and held the Black Moon Canon that he had copied with his own hands.

He lifted his feet and stepped into the moonwell in front of him.

The cold water touched his skin, causing the pirate to shake his body. Wearing a red eye patch, he half-knelt in the water and opened the Black Moon Book in front of his eyes.

In standard Salas language, the first sentence of the Black Moon Canon was read:

"I, Black Shaw, who has the blood of elves, call the phase of the dark moon in your warm embrace."

"Buzz"

The bright moonlight in the sky seemed to gather strangely at this moment.

In the astonished gazes of the little star and the little fishman, the scattered moonlight seemed to converge on the moon well water like a light at this moment.

The gathering moonlight made the surrounding night appear darker, while the bright spots became even brighter. The moonlight shone like spots on the pirate's body that was as strong as a leopard due to long-term exercise.

It seemed that oil had been applied to his body.

Blake continued to recite the Black Moon Scripture, and the moonlight here became more and more concentrated, and there seemed to be a vague voice resonating with his voice.

The brighter the moonlight is, the darker the surroundings are.

The little star standing outside the ruins felt the night coming at this moment. She couldn't help but look at the night shadows around her and shuddered quietly.

This scene is a bit too personal.

How come something from Watcher is so hellish?

The little murloc next to Little Star was also a little scared. It hid behind the blue dragon and peered at Blake who was performing a ritual in the ruins.

Mengmeng's big eyes were full of worry.

But Blake didn't feel anything was wrong at this moment. Although he was in the bright moonlight, he felt as at ease as hiding in the shadows.

The moonlight flows on his body, and during the Black Moon Ceremony that is activated, the power that symbolizes Elune is examining him and washing away the "filth" on his body.

Xal'atath will now hide in the pirate's mind.

Blake could feel Miss Black Heart trembling. This was the first time the pirate clearly felt Xalatath's fear. He had always thought that there was no such emotion as fear in creations of the void.

"What are you afraid of? I'm scared."

He sneered in his heart, adjusted the divine power in the character card, and imprisoned Xal'atath "protectively".

As the scriptures are recited to the end, the character card continues to explain what is happening to the pirates like a screen:

External divine power access

Divine Discernment Path: Pale Lady, Lord of Elves, Immortal, Moon Goddess Elune

The second phase of the Dark Moon Phase Ritual begins.

The Black Moon inheritance begins.

A creature of order, in line with half-elf bloodline, in line with Assassin Master, in line with Hunting Master, but not in line with Black Moon Power Shift Confirmation, shadow (void) dominance, life force waiting to be replenished.

Confirm that basic abilities are met.

The inauguration of the legendary profession [Watcher] begins!

Infusion of divine power

"Buzz"

The brightest moonlight in the dark night suddenly went out like turning off a light, and the entire Shandala ruins fell into a silent darkness that could not be seen.

This sudden change scared the little star and screamed.

She is not afraid of the dark.

But unfortunately, the dark night in front of her was no ordinary darkness. Little Xingxing felt that her five senses were instantly stripped away, and she became blind and deaf. A curtain of darkness shrouded the area.

Let all things be silent and let the heaven and earth be solemn.

Blake also received the same treatment, but he was not panicked. Such a long period of blind sense training was not in vain. He maintained his original posture in the darkness.

He felt a force of darkness pouring into his body through the boiling water of the Moon Well under his feet, as if falling into warm sea water, covering his whole body in an instant.

fine.

There are also detailed descriptions on the character card:

[Night Walker] Talent replacement:

Moonwalker:

The basic ability of the Watcher recruits, Elune's Black Moon Blessing, allows the Watcher to gain the [Passive Stealth] ability in a dark night environment. After standing still in the dark for one second, the Watcher will enter a stealth state.

The effect of this talent is enhanced in areas with moonlight. Any attack or defensive action under moonlight will not break stealth.

[Soul Extraction] Talent replacement:

Shadow Armor:

Each time night and day alternate, the Watcher can obtain a layer of shadow armor with an effect equivalent to [Higher Magic/Divinity Defense]. This talent is treated as a magic shield effect.

Shadow Armor is always consumed first before it is magically destroyed.

The defense power of this talent gradually increases with the Warden's understanding and use of shadow magic.

When equipped with the Watcher standard Moon Night Armor, the shadow armor effect is increased by 100% and the physical defense is increased by 100%.

[Stealth] Skill replacement:

Shadow Escape:

The shadows will actively protect the watcher, thereby raising the stealth skills to a higher level. When entering and leaving seclusion, all shadow fluctuations caused by movements will be actively hidden.

Flares will no longer be able to disperse the shadowed areas carried by the Warden.

You will truly become an unperceivable ghost in the darkness, and the effect of this skill increases with proficiency.

[Shadow Step] skill replacement:

Flashing:

The powerful affinity from the shadow allows the Watcher to use the flow of the shadow to perform magical space jumps. With the help of perceived positioning, the Watcher can travel back and forth between different areas.

This skill ignores the influence of terrain. When encountering an impenetrable obstacle, the flashing will be forced to stop.

[Sneak Attack] skill replacement:

Shadow Raid:

Each Warden is a true shadow master. They can use the power of shadow to shape various weapons, and they are equipped with sharp shadow magic damage.

This skill is true damage, and the damage caused ignores armor effects (except divine armor).

This skill can be stacked with [Poison], allowing the Warden to apply various toxins he carries with him to the shadow weapons he creates. Every Warden who can use Shadow Strike to its extreme is a true master of poison.

New skills:

Watcher Combat Skills: Passive skills, this is a set of exquisite combat skills that only Watchers can learn.

Including but not limited to heavy armor assault, watcher somersault, shadow jump, as well as skills on the use of abnormal weapons such as hunting cloak, moon blade, blade wheel, pyramid and so on.

Imprisonment Blade: Passive skill. The blessing of Elune grants you divine aid in combat. Opponents you fight are subject to a Root roll at the start of combat.

When the opponent's movement speed is slower than yours, he will be subject to the [imprisonment] effect, lose all vision, be forcibly grounded, and fall into a dazed state.

The imprisonment time depends on the strength of the opponent.

The shortest time will not be less than one second, and the longest time will not exceed five seconds. This passive effect can only take effect once per minute on the same target, but it can be applied to multiple people at the same time.

Blade Storm: Passive skill. As you understand and practice the Warden's combat skills, you will become more and more experienced in using the Stalker's Cloak.

Each rotation movement in combat will cause the Hunting Cloak to release a [Knife Cyclone] to all enemies within five yards. Its destructive power increases depending on the proficiency of the Warden's combat skills.

For this skill to be effective, you need to equip the [Watcher Standard Cloak].

Note:

The cloak may be damaged after repeated use. Watcher recruits are advised to pay attention to the wear and tear of the cloak at any time.

Endless Hunting: Passive skills. The tracking skills from hunters are summarized by the Watcher into a set of effective hunting tactics.

Any object identified as a hunting target by the Watchers will leave no traces that can escape the Watchers' detection.

During the hunting process, all traces left by the target will be actively discovered in the watcher's perception, and no detail will be missed.

The effect of this skill increases as the user's hunting skills improve.

Note:

This secondary skill is the core skill of a warden as a jailer. Because your hunting skills have not yet reached the master level, the effect of endless hunting will be affected.

Please improve your hunting skills as soon as possible, otherwise the advancement of the Warden profession will be seriously hindered.

This series of explanations made Blake, who was shrouded in darkness, look overjoyed.

He almost howled like a werewolf in his mind.

What is a legendary career?

have a look!

This series of super double enhancements is worthy of being called a legendary profession!

The pirate feels that his combat power has been conservatively estimated and has at least tripled this time. This is still on land. Once activated on the ocean, the super effect of +1 proficiency in all talents and skills of the family bloodline is activated.

He can be promoted from a new recruit of the Watcher to an elite combatant in no time.

If I had had this set of strength when I fought Granny Xiao, I might not have been able to defeat her head-on, but I would never have been forced by that stinky old woman to the point where she had to cheat to win.

This is a professional advantage.

But it's not all good.

The pirate looked at the descriptions of the talents and skills on the character card in front of him, and his expression in the darkness became strange.

He complained:

"How come the natural skills of this warden are all about confinement, imprisonment and other effects? They are really enhanced jailers, and their control power is fully maximized.

However, the frontal destructive power is somewhat inferior to the Demon Hunter's enhanced transformation and domineering power of slashing everything.

And the experience bar is locked, which is a bit painful. "

The experience bar under the entry for the legendary profession Warden on his character card is indeed locked. This is because Black's hunter profession has not yet completed the wilderness ritual.

The locking of the experience bar means that the pirate is restrained in the "recruit" state until the wilderness ritual is completed.

In addition, legendary professions are different from ordinary professions.

Its upper limit is only 12 levels.

Every three levels, the talent is strengthened and a new skill is given.

Super-powerful skills such as Black Moon Binding, Watcher's Cage and Vengeful God, which Blake covets, can only be obtained after career advancement.

This made the pirates very worried.

It's really a typical example of having to look forward to Shu and having unsatisfied desires.

At the end of the descriptions of these character cards, there is an option that makes the pirates squint their eyes: the legendary profession has been inaugurated, the ordinary profession [Master] has been achieved, the life form has reached the [critical] state, whether to turn on the life form - [Legend] to enter Order?

Frankly speaking, when seeing this option, the pirates did feel a little excited.

But in less than a second, he decisively rejected the power promotion at this moment.

It's not time yet.

He has already made a decision to advance in the best condition. Naturally, he must reach Master in all three ordinary professions. After laying an extremely solid foundation, he can then become a true legend.

Rather than the current half-empty state, if you advance to a legend with a single profession, your combat effectiveness may increase in a short period of time, but your destructive power will only reach the level of Granny Xiao at most.

Frankly speaking, with the pirate's current vision and knowledge, he no longer looks down on that kind of power.

This is a matter of upper limit and advanced growth, so don't be careless. As the saying goes, towering buildings are built on the ground, and castles in the air are not necessary. Things like foundations naturally need to be as solid as possible.

With the end of the black moon ceremony, the first ray of moonlight finally shone down on the dark ruins of the city.

The process of dispelling the darkness that stripped away the five senses only lasted a few minutes, but for the little star and the little fish man, it was like a year.

When the moonlight shone again, making the Crystal Song Forest seem quiet, the pirate shook off the water stains on his body, walked out of the dry moon well, and changed into clothes.

Under the surprised gaze of Little Xingxing, his own captain stepped towards him, and as soon as he raised his feet, he disappeared under the moonlight, his breath completely disappearing.

It's like a ghost.

"Snapped"

The pirate put his hand on the little star's shoulder, emerged from the moonlight again, and said:

"Okay, let's go to Grizzly Hills. Huh? Why don't you say anything? Why are you fainted? Hey, wake up! Can the effect of the Confinement Blade be triggered with your hands?

Well, probably because I brought a hidden sword, my fingers became weapons. Well, this is not equivalent to carrying a 'strongman identification device' with me.

But you, the blue dragon, are too useless, right? "

——

"Ma'am? Mai Lin said you summoned me?"

On the distant Watch Island, at the highest point of this bare island, the figure of Watcher Commander Nasa appeared silently from the dark night under the moon.

She stood on the edge of the cliff and asked Maiev Shadowsong, the warden of the Watchers, who was holding the Thorn Blade in front of her and quietly raising her head to watch the changes in the arc of the moon:

"Is there any important task for me to perform?"

"Um."

Maiev withdrew her gaze from the moonlight above her head and looked at the vast sea in front of her. She said softly:

"I summoned Sera back from Val'sharah. She will accept your responsibility and be responsible for tracking the demon hunters. And you, Nasa, as my most trusted lieutenant, I will take over Sera's original mission. here you are.

Sera was too impulsive.

She has great talents, but her personality is not suitable for a mission that requires long-term hunting. "

"Ma'am, you mean, hunting that pirate?"

Nasa hesitated and said:

"With all due respect, madam, the secret passage has been deployed, and the lunatics from the Rende Society have also been sent to chase him. The pirate will not be at large for long.

We have a limited number of people, so maybe we should use every ounce of our strength.”

"They can't."

Maiev interrupted Nasa and said quietly:

"They, including you, underestimated that pirate, and they will pay the price for their arrogance. Go, Nasa, don't ask why, go hunt him.

Fight him.

If he is no match for you, take him back to Watch Island.

If you fail, don't be discouraged, keep hunting until you succeed. Do not return to Watch Island until this task is completed. "

"As you command, ma'am."

Although she was a little confused about Ms. Maiev's order, Nasa's long-term obedience made Nasa not think too much, turned around and left to prepare for the hunt.

Maiev watched her leave.

Under the moonlight, the warden lady smiled and said softly:

"Go on a mission that will never end, so you won't die miserably, my poor adjutant. Ah, he hasn't stopped. It's time for me to start again."
