Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 492 45. I am just the worst of all the evil people on this island.

Tol Barad Island is divided into north and south.

To the north is an area composed of several large islands and reefs, which are now occupied by pirates, snakemen, ancestor turtles and little stars, as well as the large cemetery in Forgotten Hills.

The turtles also built a small ship repair shop for the undead pirates next to the ruined fortress they rebuilt. The equipment and other equipment were obtained from the goblins without the pirates spending a penny.

This is actually the "rent" that Black and Kojo agreed upon before, which is equivalent to paying taxes in disguise to the pirates, the current rulers of Tol Barad.

But the turtles are actually not at a loss. All transactions on the island, which has already gained some vitality, are handled by them and the fox traders.

When the pirates under Black's command robbed money, they would go to the tavern opened by the fox man to spend it.

The trophies that can be grabbed are used by oneself, and the ones that are not used are taken to the knowledgeable ancestor turtles for appraisal.

Those collectors are happy to collect things from rude and unscrupulous pirates, and then resell them through their own channels for at least two or three times the price.

A one-stop service of identifying, collecting and selling stolen goods has been realized.

Although the pirates are very cunning, they are so good at it that any turtle man who has lived for hundreds of years can play them to death.

However, because in Black's territory, the Ancestral Turtle did not dare to go too far, so the price given each time when collecting stolen goods was quite fair, and the pirates did not have too many complaints about this.

The main thing is that if you don’t sell the things you grabbed to the turtle people, who can you sell them to?

Especially for those magic items, ordinary merchants don't dare to accept them. If you dare to accept them, you have to be careful to avoid being cheated. You might as well just sell them to the turtle man.

Anyway, something went wrong. These ancestral tortoises could escape the monks but not the temple.

In short, after Blake returned this time, he unexpectedly discovered that there was a lively pirate market on the North Island of Tol Barad, which made his territory seem to be much more prosperous.

His Excellency the Commander expressed great satisfaction with this.

But how busy he is.

Where can I find the time to seek justice for the losers under my command who know they have been deceived but are powerless to do anything?

After explaining the matter to Annie, when he went to the South Island to meet the classmates and mentors of Nathalas College, he casually explained the orc captain Maimu who was currently in charge of the island.

Starting this month, the rent for the Ancestor Turtles will increase by 10%!

Let them get back some of the money they earned from the trash pirates. People don't dare to complain about the cunning turtle. He now has a "deep cooperative" relationship with the ancestor turtle.

As the hippogryph flew across the bridge connecting the center of the South Island and the North Island, a closed island reef surrounded by mountains appeared in front of Blake's eyes.

Unlike the North Island, which is split into five pieces, the South Island is an entire rolling "inland mountainous area", separated from the North Island by a strait several hundred yards long.

Apart from the bridge and the sky connecting both sides, there is no way to enter the interior of this mountainous area.

It's almost a perfect place to station troops.

In fact, before the orcs invaded Northern Xinjiang, it was indeed the logistics supply and recruit training ground for the Alliance Navy. Now you can still see the ruins of some burned-out military camps and warehouses.

And the roads built here by the alliance before.

If everything goes according to the plans of the Alliance's top leaders, Tol Barad will become the strongest position on the sea against the orcs.

However, the fact that the orcs had red dragons was beyond the considerations of all strategists, so the Tol Barad Island front, which they had spent a lot of effort building, fell almost overnight under the raging dragon fire.

The alien invaders took everything they could and burned what was left, along with the last remaining army trapped here.

Very tragic things happened here.

There is even a large remaining underground prison in the center of the North Island where a large number of resentful spirits still remain.

The first thing that Nathalas College has to do after choosing the school site is to purify those resentful spirits. Even if this work is done by the powerful elven arcana, it will take more than half of the time. months time.

From this we can see how many resentful spirits there are on this land.

"Dear Dean, I miss you so much."

The hippogryph flapped its wings, riding the wind, and landed lightly on the edge of a mud swamp that exuded a disgusting smell.

Blake jumped off his mount, opened his arms with a smile, and while trampling a frog to death, he hugged Dean Lanyue who was waiting in front of him.

The dean, who pays attention to the manners of an educator, did not reject the enthusiasm of the students who had returned from a distant trip.

Then Blake asked a question:

"You want to rebuild the academy here? Whose bad idea was this? This underground is a big prison. Who knows what disgusting things happened in it?

There is still a mud swamp all around, it’s so disgusting!

Look, there is a six-legged crocodile over there that is planning to sneak over and treat me as its lunch.

If you really have to choose a school site, isn't there the ruins of an armored military camp under the mountainous area in the north?

How convenient and condescending there is. It is really impossible to go to the south. Although there is no existing road there, it is better because the environment is better.

It's all good enough to raise several local giant mountain monsters, and if I remember correctly, there are also some violent bears.

Anyway, no matter where you choose, it will be much better than choosing this shabby place. Well, the people who set up the school site here must have something wrong with their brains. Huh? Dean, why do you look so ugly?

Are you feeling unwell?

My ship's doctor is also back. Do you want her to take a look at you? "

Facing the pirates' greetings, Dean Elya Blue Moon expressionlessly put the Holy Staff of Alunes, which was making noisy laughter in her hand, farther away, raised her head again, and said coldly to her disciples:

"Have you finished the homework I assigned you before leaving? Take it out and let me check it."

"It's finished."

Blake shrugged and handed a small package of magic test papers to the dean, saying that it was really hard to guess the thoughts of a single woman who had been single for ten thousand years.

Just now, he greeted me with a smile and a kind face, but now he became as cold as ice.

whispering sound.

It must be some stupid students in the college who are careless and empty-headed and have made the dean angry again.

Alas, education work is not easy to do.

With such emotion, he followed the dean all the way deep into the swamp.

In the center of this huge mud pit, there is a stone gate that has been built, leading to the deep underground. Surrounded by some students from Nathalas College, under the command of their mentor, they are using magic to transform the swamp environment.

A solid foundation has been laid, and in the large construction site that has been very dry around it, there are gray-headed "slaves" working everywhere.

It's those North Sea pirates in Rogue Port. They've been having such a miserable life recently.

When some old pirates who had seen Black saw the commander coming, they immediately dropped their shovels and hoes and howled at him.

The pirate thought that some unscrupulous man was trying to assassinate the dean, so he immediately drew out his moon blade and stood bravely at the dean's side. Although all the slaves here can't hurt a hair of the legendary mage, they must be careful at critical moments.

However, these guys are not here to assassinate.

Under the surprised gaze of the Eye of Kilrogg on Blake's shoulder, the originally unruly North Sea fanatics rushed over and knelt on the ground.

One of the leading guys shouted sadly:

"Captain Black, we are willing to dedicate everything to the cause of the immortal pirates. Our dogs are born to serve you.

Please accept us and continue to be pirates!

Wherever you tell us to go, we will go there, smashing our bodies to pieces with no retribution. "

While howling in mourning, this guy crawled over and tried to kiss Blake's muddy boots, but was kicked away by the pirate.

"Isn't it disgusting, you guys?"

Blake cursed.

He used his magic eyes to look around, and found that except for the unruly Gilnean sailors who had just been captured a few days ago, the other slaves were looking at him eagerly.

Each of these guys was so thin that they were almost inhuman shape, and the pirates were shocked to see them.

He turned back to Dean Lanyue and said:

"Dean, don't you give these guys food?"

"Give it. Speaking of which, you humans are really fragile."

Dean Lanyue, who was checking Blake's homework, said without raising his head:

"We haven't had anything to eat in ten thousand years, and yet we can still exist. But they can't even work after being hungry for ten days. They're all really useless."

"They are fed once every ten days and have to work every day? Just like this, do you still think they are fragile?"

The pirate opened his mouth, pursed it again, and said with emotion:

"I thought I was the most evil guy on this island. Now I'm convinced, mentor, my evil side is like a younger brother to you upper elves.

So what, it seems like these guys’ ‘re-education through labor’ period should be over.

I let them go, is that okay? "

"If they let me go, who will do the work of digging the foundation?"

Dean Lan Yue lowered his head, summoned a magic pen, made a big red cross on a grammatical error on a test paper, and continued to say without raising his head:

"How about you and your group of pirates do it?"

"It's simple. There are few other things on the Eastern Continent, but slaves are plentiful."

Blake pouted and said:

"I have already sent people to talk to the Gilneans. After a while, green-skinned war criminals that many people find disgusting may be sent over. Then you can do whatever you want, and you won't feel bad even if you are exhausted.

But this matter is a bit tricky, since it is an official matter after all.

It would be even better if we could establish a good relationship with Dalaran and rectify the name of our academy. "

"Okay, then take them away."

Dean Lanyue replied without raising his head.

Blake looked back at the group of pirates in front of him and said coldly:

"After finishing today's work, go to South Island to report to Annie.

You all know her, and she will be your commander from now on. You losers will be incorporated into the fourth-class pirate Marun commando team. Only those who can survive a battle are qualified to join my command.

I don't keep trash in my fleet.

You did the wrong job over there, and I don’t want your lives. Just keep coming back and digging. Do you understand? "

Under Black's scolding, a group of pirates howled in tears, but they did not dare to howl loudly for fear of angering the devil-like and arrogant elf overseers around them.

They shouted Long Live Black.

But the pirates ignored them and followed Dean Lanyue into the original Paladin Prison.

The Palatine Prison has been around since Blake, er, Drake was a kid.

In times of peace, this was the place where human nations in northern Xinjiang exiled various felons and political prisoners. It was famous among the nations for its internal strife and cruelty.

At its peak, this prison housed nearly 3,000 hopeless scum, but had less than 300 guards.

No one cares about the life or death of those scum, and even the prison door is open all year round.

Anyway, with the terrain of Nan Island, even if the criminals escape, they will never be able to escape.

Their best fate is to escape into the mountains and become savages, but the final fate of most criminals who escape is to become a smelly mountain monster poop.

Those "ogres" native to Azeroth will eat anything.

Therefore, the Palatine Prison has been the most famous "landscape" of Tol Barad Island in the past years. It has become a vicious story to scare children in the praise of countless people.

Even the children in the Kingdom of Stormwind have heard of the "good reputation" of Paladin Prison.

In Kul Tiras, the reputation of the Paladin Prison is not that great, because Kul Tiras has the famous Black Prison of Tordago.

That's a real hell of a place.

There are endless stories to tell about that place for ten days and ten nights.

Even with Black's current power, he has no plans to rob Tordago's Black Prison to recruit pirate subordinates, which shows how dangerous and crazy that place is.

Now Nasarath College has decided to transform this large underground prison, which is as large as a small city, into the main teaching place of the college. Naturally, a dedicated person will be responsible for the internal transformation.

When Blake walked down the first floor, he also saw the two dwarf warlocks from the Sparks couple working together to paint a sculpture of "Hermit" Maitri.

The elves kept this place very clean.

In the large central circle, several instructors were drawing a huge magic circle on the ground that made Blake dizzy. When he saw it, the pirate suddenly realized:

“Ah, no wonder we chose this damn place to build the academy.

This is the center of the magic network in the sea near Tol Barad. I am really stupid. Such a genius idea must be something that only a wise spellcaster like you, the dean, can come up with. "

"Stop talking nonsense."

Dean Blue Moon finally finished checking Blake's homework.

She threw the seven test papers with errors to the pirates, then leaned on her holy staff of Alunes and said to the pirates:

"The homework is well done. It seems that you have put your heart into it. This is the attitude you should have when studying magic. Okay, come with me. You have made progress in your research project."

"Which one?"

Blake experienced a lot during his long trip, and he didn't realize it for a while.

As a result, the dean turned around and glared at her. Ms. Lanyue pushed up her crystal glasses and said:

"Who else could it be?"

"The idea you proposed, the high-level warlock's magic 'Devil Transformation Spell' has been roughly designed. You prefer to call it 'demonization', right?"

follow me.

There is also the final modification of the magic pattern and spell model, which needs to be completed by yourself.

And, now that it’s here, it’s here. "

A cold light shone on the dean's lenses, and she said:

"It just so happens that today, you will be the test subject for the first test of the 'demonization' spell. Why are you grimacing? This is dedication to the exploration of magic, and it is the glory of a spellcaster.

If you dare to run, I will activate the binding magic here!

That magic circle is not perfect yet, and I don’t know how much of your body it can bind. Maybe it’s one-third, maybe half. Maybe we should test it?

Come on you!

Stupid student! "
