Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Are you threatening me?"

In the side hall of the Tomb of Sargeras, under the dead night, in the surge of purple light, Aegwynn's image stopped and dissipated, and became solid again.

Her tone was no longer as calm as before, but instead carried a touch of undisguised cold anger.

She said to Blake:

"Young assassin, don't forget that you are now in the seal I set. I am weak, but that doesn't mean that any junior can be so rude.

You said deeply that you and I should help each other.

But standing next to you is one of the murderers of my son! Maybe I should activate the seal now and bury you and her together. "

"I don't want that either."

Blake calmed down the anger in his heart. His heartbeat was quite fast. He sorted out his words a little and said to Aegwynn in front of him in a gentler tone:

"But as you can see, if I don't get what I want tonight, I will still die. You are probably one of the few spellcasters in human history who has sufficient understanding of the Abyss of Hell.

You should know what kind of misfortune I will encounter if I fall into the hands of Hela.

I'm in deep trouble right now, and I'm going to cling to any straw, ma'am. I candidly express my thoughts, that is:

If you don't help me, I will really drag you down with me.

I'm not kidding you.

I know this is not the normal way to ask for help, but on another occasion, I would be happy to humbly apologize to you, but now

My life is almost gone, so let’s not worry so much.

Let’s get straight to the point, okay? "

"hehe."

Black's explanation attracted Aegwin's laughter that seemed to be sarcastic and playful.

she says:

"You said you are in a desperate situation? No, young assassin, as long as you hand over the soul of Gul'dan in your hand to Hela respectfully, you can live safely.

That crazy Titan Guardian will even reward you for it.

It’s you who don’t want to have any contact with Hela anymore. It’s you who are trying to escape from the muddy waters of Hades. Let me put it more bluntly. It’s you who are longing for the freedom that you can’t get.

Still willing to risk everything for this elusive desire.

It's you who pushed yourself into despair.

Do you want to escape?

It's too simple. Just like before, bow your head to Hela and kneel before the God of Death. How simple is it? "

The image of the former guardian lady shook her head, her tone became colder and colder, and her powerful aura spread out at this moment, like a superior person in control of everything.

Just like a demigod born in human civilization.

she says:

"It is precisely because I know the truth about the Abyss of Hades better than anyone else that I know that any living person who is related to Hades is solely responsible for any suffering he encounters!

Although Hela is a lunatic.

But she is also a deity in the eyes of mortals.

She has her arrogance, and she will not take the initiative to pay attention to an ant.

In other words, you are the one who set out on this path, young assassin. Didn't your parents teach you that? The choice you make yourself must bear the cost. "

Blake shook his head repeatedly after saying this. He looked at the magical image in front of him and asked in a calm tone using the same sentence pattern:

"Ms. Aegwin, didn't your mentor Magna Skeven teach you not to judge a person's choices at will when you don't know his experience?

When I joined Hades, I didn't reject this option at all. It's time to update your knowledge of Hela. The crazy Queen of Hades has already extended her hand to the souls other than the Vrykul.

If you knew why she went crazy hundreds of thousands of years ago, you should know that this was a destined outcome, it was just a matter of time.

I have no intention of discussing the secrets of the Titan Guardians with you.

Because you are an out-and-out but extremely arrogant beginner in this area. I am not bragging. In these secret fields, I am more than enough to be your mentor.

So stop humiliating yourself, Lady Aegwynn.

Let’s get back to the point.

You help me temporarily resist the curse of Hades until I find Bwonsamdi, the troll god of death. How to get that guy with a bad personality to help me is what I have to do.

You just need to ensure that your soul will not be taken away by Hela before I complete my needs.

And once I complete my needs and escape from Hela's clutches, I will bring you the Skull of Gul'dan at the right time and help you resurrect your son Medivh.

If you need it, I will even find a way to bring you more magical items, such as the Eye of Dalaran and the Book of Medivh. "

The pirate paused, looked at Aegwynn's image, and said:

"Now, give me an answer."

"The price you offered really makes my heart flutter, young assassin."

Aegwynn thought for a few seconds and said with regret:

"But it's a pity that since you appear to be omniscient and omnipotent, you should know that I am so weak now that I can't even activate the teleportation spell to the Broken Shore.

Not to mention helping you set up a soul barrier that is at least a legendary magic level. "

"I don't need you to come in person."

Blake's eyes lit up, Aegwynn's softening of attitude was just what she needed.

He said softly:

"I just need to confirm that you really have a way to help me. As for setting up this soul magic, don't you have a friend who has been hiding in Dalaran and has been secretly helping you?

Just let him come, right?

It's impossible for a human mage who has lived for three thousand years not to be able to handle even a legendary level of magic, right? "

"you"

Aegwin was really shocked now.

Her image showed silence for a few seconds, and then said in an incredible tone:

"Who are you? Young assassin. Do you even know the existence of Merry Winterwind? I see you have the mark of Ravenholdt, but you are definitely not an ordinary shadow assassin.

After all, the League of Assassins has not existed as long as my old friend Merry has lived."

"me."

Blake showed a smile, casually took out the soul stone that sealed Sephiel's soul from his arms, threw it in his hand, and said:

"This young bronze dragon lady asked the same question before she died, but I'm in a bad mood today, so I'm not going to tell you the answer.

Ms. Aegwynn, don't try to trick me like a newbie.

Contact your friends, I don't have much time.

I will wait for him at the Broken Shore, only for an hour. At the same time, you can also ask your friends to be witnesses, so you don't have to worry about me defaulting on the payment.

As long as I finish what I have to do, I can give him the Skull of Gul'dan immediately.

He will hand it over to you and help you with all his strength to resurrect your son. But after your son is resurrected, this thing must be returned. It is my most proud collection. "

Aegwynn nodded.

But a few seconds later, she asked again:

"I don't doubt your determination, young assassin, but have you ever considered how the trajectory of your life will change after today?

You should know that once you accept my help, you will stand on the opposite side of the entire Dalaran and the entire human spellcaster camp.

Once the news is leaked, all battle mages in Dalaran will become your enemies.

Those old immortal bastards will even activate the magical assassins of the Tiris Mystery to deal with you. Do you know what this means? "

"I know."

Blake smiled, pointed to Garona beside him, and said:

"I have gotten mixed up with this regicide, madam, and the entire MI7 is already my enemy. Granny Pasonia looks kind, but she is actually a very cold old man.

I've been targeted by a legendary assassin.

I still have the legendary warblade of the Burning Blade clan in my hand, and the legend of the orcs will not let me go.

What's more, I am planning a gorgeous and grand betrayal against Hela! The hell force in human legend, a god of death will become my enemy.

Madam, in front of all these things I am carrying, what does a mere Dalaran or a Kirin Tor Council of Six count?

Just like what you just said.

This is my life.

I make the choice, I suffer the cost, that's it. "

"good!"

After hearing this, Aegwynn nodded, and there was even a touch of appreciation in his tone.

This is normal.

The most powerful spellcaster in human history was a deviant for the first eight hundred years of his life.

She is the "problem girl" trained by Dalaran, and has caused countless headaches for countless archmages of the Kirin Tor Council of Six over the past hundreds of years.

The most embarrassing thing is that no matter what methods they use, they can't do anything to Aegwynn.

If Aegwynn herself "didn't want to play" anymore and seduced the elite magic assassin sent by Dalaran to kill her in a very bloody way, the two would have even had a child.

She can still pull all the mages in Dalaran together, hang them up and beat them.

She has always been an anti-traditional person, and Aegwynn's free and wonderful life is actually the life that Blake is pursuing. He does not want to be restricted.

He worked so hard to come to this other world not just to kneel to anyone!

"Just wait by the beach."

Aegwynn's image dimmed, and she said:

"Merry will come over as soon as possible, but I want to remind you, young assassin, Merry has lived as an undead for too long, and his personality has become very weird.

He is not an easy person to deal with.

You'd better not try to drag him into your feud with Hela. If you can convince him to help you, that's the best. If he doesn't want to, don't force it. "

"Thank you for the reminder, ma'am."

Blake breathed a sigh of relief and leaned over to say goodbye to Aegwynn in front of him. As the purple light dimmed, Garona, who had been watching all this, also relaxed.

She glanced at Blake and said in a complicated tone:

"Do you really want to help that woman and resurrect Medivh? I don't think this is a good thing. You haven't seen the guardian, but I have seen it with my own eyes.

The darkness surrounding him was not apparent on the outside, but during the time when I was sent by Gul'dan as a messenger, every time I saw him in Karazhan, I would tremble from the bottom of my soul.

There is something very terrifying in the soul of that human guardian. Even when Gul'dan opened the Dark Portal in our world, he was the one who guided it from behind.

The source of these six years of war was the madness of the guardian who was supposed to protect humanity and Azeroth after he fell into darkness.

Whether it's power or threat.

Medivh is a hundred times more dangerous than Gul'dan!

Even if Lothar and Khadgar and I assassinate him, I will still wake up from nightmares about him."

"Your understanding of Medivh is too shallow."

Black picked up the Skull of Gul'dan. He glanced at Garona who hesitated and said:

"I know something, but I can't tell you that his resurrection is inevitable, just like Gul'dan's death tonight, no one can stop it.

I just stepped in to get some benefits for myself.

You see, I tell you my purpose so frankly, and I also have a question to ask you, Ms. Garona, and I hope you tell me frankly. "

The legendary assassin and Blake walked out of the temple together, and she asked:

"what is the problem?"

"Let's talk first, this question is a bit personal."

Blake grinned and showed a malicious smile. He felt relaxed now and asked as if he was joking:

"When you were sent by Gul'dan to serve as a messenger to Medivh, did you have any super-friendly relationship with that guardian? What I mean is"

"No! Shut up! What a stupid question this is!"

Before he could finish asking, Garona slashed at her with a murderous sword, quickly and quickly. In the flash of the sword, Blake activated the shadow cloak he had just learned.

As the shadow suddenly shattered, Garona's blade seemed to have pierced into a cloud of smoke, and at the next moment, it was blocked by the Devil's Strike Dagger and pushed back.

In the echoing shadows of black smoke, Blake chuckled.

He played with the dagger and said casually:

"That's really a shame."

"It seems that little Med'an, the savior of destiny, still received a 404 in my world line. It's really miserable."
