Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Gul'dan will enter the Tomb of the Gods. That's what he came for. As for whether he will bring others in with him, I don't know."

In a hidden cave on the Broken Coast, Black sat cross-legged in the darkness, applying poison to his Blade Fist and Thrash Blade. He said to Garona, who was leaning against the entrance of the cave on guard with her arms folded:

"That's your mission, it's very simple. After they open the Tomb of the Gods, follow them in. Don't rush to assassinate, just follow them.

Wait until I find the domination orb that controls you outside and shatter it, then it won't be too late for you to take action. "

"Although this is not the first time I heard this, this task is really simple. So, what is the difficulty?"

Garona turned back and said:

"As long as the Master Orb is not in Gul'dan's hands, I am sure that I will not be discovered by him in the shadows. When exactly do I have to wait? And, are you sure that you can get the Master Orb by yourself?

Gul'dan must have given it to his most trusted subordinate, perhaps Cho'gall, the seemingly honest but cunning ogre, or perhaps...

That guy! "

"Um?"

Blake raised his head, looked at Garona, and said:

"That guy? Which one? I have never heard that besides you, there are other famous assassins in the Shadow Council. And if you know who may have the Master Orb, you should tell me earlier!"

"I am not sure."

Garona waved her hand, looking at the seriousness in Blake's eyes, she explained:

"I don't know what that guy's name is, but he has been with Gul'dan a long time ago, before the Shadow Council was even established.

After I was picked up by Gul'dan, he trained me in assassin skills.

But he is very mysterious, and I once doubted that he was Gul'dan's most trusted person, not Gul'dan's disciple Taron Gor, or the ogre Cho'gall joined halfway.

No one knows his name or where he comes from.

But one thing is for sure, he is very old, almost as old as Gul'dan.

His skills are no longer as brave and agile as before.

And after the Horde came to Azeroth, he rarely appeared. The last time I heard about him was four years ago, when he conducted a successful assassination under Gul'dan's instructions.

It was that assassination that directly led to the head-on conflict between Orgrim Doomhammer and the Blackhand Warchief at the time."

"etc!"

Blake suddenly stretched out his hand, interrupting Garona's description.

He asked rhetorically:

"Is this the guy who assassinated Durotan, the chief of the Frostwolf clan, and his wife Dekara in the Hillsbrad Hills?"

"Huh? You even know this?"

Garona blinked and said:

"According to your own statement, you should have been still in Kul Tiras at that time. How did you know what happened in the northern border of the Eastern Continent?

This matter is a secret within the Shadow Council. "

"I have my own channels of information."

Blake waved his hand and said:

"You just had to tell me, didn't you?"

"It's him."

The legendary assassin said with certainty:

"I know this because Gul'dan originally planned to send me to carry out the assassination, but he was replaced at the last moment. It is said that he took the initiative.

It is possible that he has an old grudge with the Durotans.

In short, after that assassination, there was no news of him showing up again, and Orgrim has been looking for him.

He should be hiding, and now that Gul'dan is going to do such a big thing, as long as he is still alive, Gul'dan will definitely summon him to his side!

And if Gul'dan wants to choose someone to prevent me from disrupting his big event, then he will definitely choose that guy.

After all, he was the one who trained me in the first place.

He knows me very well. "

Having said this, Garona touched the Kingslayer double blades at her waist and added:

“Also, he’s obsessed with power.

I can confirm this because he tried to take these two daggers from me more than once before the Horde entered Azeroth. But he failed. "

The legendary assassin looked at Blake and said seriously:

"His physical strength is his biggest disadvantage. Even if he drinks the blood of demons, he will become old. That is a fate that mortals cannot avoid. And as an assassin, he cannot drink too much evil blood.

That would only weaken his connection to the shadows.

If you want to fight him, it's very important to grasp this. His strength is not legendary, so if you count your gadget, you do have a certain chance of winning.

But Blake, I have to tell you frankly, this is a battle between assassins. If you can't push your understanding of shadows to the next stage at this last moment.

Your chances of winning are not great.

Assassins are not a profession that relies on strength to fight. Old assassins like him are more dangerous as they get older.

He will make up for his lack of experience and wisdom, but you.

you are too young. "

"Well, I understand."

Blake didn't feel hurt by Garona's confession.

Instead, he glanced at the translucent character card in front of him and looked at the experience bar that showed that the pirate class card could not increase at 99% at level 30.

That thing is locked.

Blake had previously realized that he needed to undergo a "shadow trial" like Shore did to prove his understanding of the way of shadow before he could continue on this path.

The information Garona told him about the mysterious assassin next to Gul'dan made Blake realize that that guy should be his shadow trial.

As long as you can defeat him!

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to challenge Gul'dan's followers alone. Members of the Ravager Clan and the Twilight's Hammer Clan have been scattered across the beach."

The pirate carefully poisoned the weapon, stood up, and said:

"Probably tonight, those belated arrivals may also arrive on this coast, and they are coming with Orgrim's wrath.

Their arrival will bring a lot of chaos to this beach, which is the perfect time for me to seize the Orb of Dominance. "

"You mean, the two brothers Red and Mina?"

Garona showed an expression that she didn't know how to describe. After a few seconds, she said with regret:

"I don't doubt the hatred of brothers Red and Maim for Gul'dan, nor do I doubt their will to avenge their father, Warchief Blackhand.

But I doubt their strength can do this.

Those two brothers inherited the warrior bloodline of Chief Blackhand, and they indeed had great potential.

But like your question, they are both too young.

At this time, Orgrim drove the two of them with their own small clan to hunt down Gul'dan. Rather than venting his anger, it was better to use Gul'dan's hand to get rid of these two hidden dangers.

But you are right.

The Black-Toothed Grinning Clan is a group of violent young people who are not accepted by other clans. They may not have enough strength, but they are good at running rampant and causing chaos.

Once they land, they will definitely not waste time. They will immediately launch an attack on the Stormrage Clan and the Twilight's Hammer Clan.

But according to the expectations of the group of dead people, they should have opened the Tomb of the Gods when they land in Gul'dan tonight, so we should split up? "

"Well, let's split up."

Blake walked outside the cave. He glanced outside and said to Garona:

"You go follow Gul'dan, and I'll go find the Dominator Orb. You can take action after I'm done, so remember this!

There are too many things in that tomb that can kill you easily, so when following, don't think too much and just follow Gul'dan.

Wherever he goes, you go, and don’t make a mistake!

He is destined to go to the depths of the tomb. There is a fate there that he cannot avoid. Everything on this island is arranged.

You and I are 'intruders' who shouldn't be on this stage.

Therefore, never make random decisions based on your temper! "

The pirate moved his fingers. He was silent for a few seconds and said:

"If I'm slow, or I fail, and I die, don't take the initiative, hide there, and watch Gul'dan die.

I made a promise to you that you would see Gul'dan die, and that promise will come true tonight.

He was dead.

Whether you interfere or not, he is dead. "

The sudden change in Garona's expression was quite subtle.

The legendary assassin looked at the double blades at her waist and then at Black. She said in a strange tone:

"You mean, I didn't have to come here, I just had to wait patiently to be free? And now you have tricked me into coming here, and I have to risk my life to help you do some terrible things?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

Blake grinned and showed a "you are very smart" smile to Garona. He tilted his head and said:

"Sit back and watch your enemy die at the hands of others, and take revenge with your own hands. Those are two concepts. My Ms. Garona, of course you can hide in a safe place and wait for freedom to come and the hatred to subside.

But I ask you, I am now giving you the possibility and opportunity to take revenge with your own hands. Will you refuse?

What's more, there's the matter of the Dominator Orb.

If you don't break it, you will never get the freedom you want in your life. "

Garona did not answer the question.

Just as she slipped into the shadows, she made a very rude orcish gesture to Blake, she said;

"If you and I can survive tonight, then, Black Shaw, remember, you owe me a favor!"

"You owe me, right? Madam."

Blake laughed and took a step back, escaping into the shadows.

He said:

"good luck!"

"good luck."

The voice of the legendary assassin came out with an illusion, and the next moment, the two assassins rushed out in two directions.

The hunt begins! ——

"They're coming."

A few hours later, on a cliff on the Broken Beach, Blake was playing with the little murloc when he heard Sephiel's warning coming from the soul stone in his arms.

The bronze dragon ghost whispered:

"Reid and Maimu of the Black-Toothed Grinning Clan, the sons of Black Hand, landed on the other side of the coast, just as recorded in history and engraved by fate, even the time of arrival was so precise.

You summoned Dai Lin to join in this incident that he should not have participated in, but it did not affect the fluctuations of the world line. It seems that your first attempt was successful. "

"I have calculated in my mind countless times how to gain benefits from the given destiny."

Blake patted the little fish man's head, put it into his backpack, pulled down his long hood, and said to Sephiel:

“This is just the beginning.

I think we'll eventually become friends, but right now we're obviously just two strangers complaining about each other.

Tonight, I need your help.

Whether you are ready or not! "

"I'm just a ghost now."

Sephiel replied in a low tone:

"I can't even appear in the sun. I have no body. I can't even feel you in the shadow. How can I help you?"

"Don't underestimate yourself, there are so many things you can do."

Blake chuckled lightly, made a bumping motion, and said:

"All I need is you, at the right moment, don't worry about anything and rush out as quickly as possible. The assassin's battle is fleeting, and just one second at the critical moment is enough to kill someone.

To prevent you from saying no.

Let me remind you again, if I die, you will enter Hades with my soul.

You hate Hela and I hate her too.

Look, now you have a reason to help me, right? "
