Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Black took care of Suramar's reinforcements with just a few words.

He originally thought that the recalcitrant Nightborne in Black Crow Keep would last at least three days before surrendering, but he did not expect that on the night when the news came back that the druids refused to allow Suramar's army to enter Val'sharah, the Shal'dorei decisively Voted.

The "rebellion" came very suddenly.

The pirates themselves didn't expect it.

The Nightborne who were loyal to Elisande were swept away by the Sarlayin elves hiding among them. After seeing the high-ranking advisor Fandos appear in a new form, Sha'dorei's morale instantly fell to the bottom. .

According to Dean Lan Yue's idea, it doesn't matter if these children of the night are let go.

They were not important people, but the greedy Blood Matron Aluriel was eager to expand her power, so she made a cruel decision.

At midnight, after the barrier in the main city of Black Crow Castle was removed, the Nightborne magic swordsmen who came to welcome Blake and Dean Blue Moon into the castle had all been transformed into blood elves.

And they were having a "carnival."

The magic wine that they regarded as their lives was smashed down from the castle one by one, and the wine hit the ground, letting the sweet and sour aroma of the wine overflow.

Those who have completely overcome their addictions celebrate their "rebirth" in this way.

On the highest spire of the castle, Elisande's last loyalists were tied to pillars by Salaine. Under the watchful eyes of the Blood Mistress, the new-born blood elves stepped forward one by one. The guy who yelled was bleeding.

They use this to satisfy their own thirst for blood.

The feeling of blood flowing into your mouth is much more wonderful than taking a big gulp of magic wine.

Although they themselves are well aware that they are replacing one addiction with another, as the Blood Mistress Aluriel famously said:

There is always more blood in this world than magic.

They were finally free from the torture of ten thousand years of magic addiction. Although the price was to become bloodthirsty monsters, their hearts were no longer bound by the ridiculous magic wine.

This made them feel pleasure they had never experienced before.

The scene was like a complete cult ritual, mysterious, dark, and cruel.

In the shadow of the castle, the Blood Matron and the high-ranking Lord Saleen Fandos, who was transformed by her own hands, embraced each other, caressing each other like lovers, asking for each other's warmth in the darkness.

Obviously, this dark victory of Sarain made the two leaders become leaders and gained the first batch of die-hard guys.

However, neither Black nor Dean Blue Moon cares about the fate of these crazy Sarain and Nightborne loyalists. They are all ruthless commanders who will do whatever it takes to win.

Well, at least tonight.

"Where's Tarongor?"

Under the escort of more than a dozen death knights, Dean Lanyue's first words when he walked into Black Crow Castle were this.

This made Black curl his lips, thinking that the dean had become a lot more cautious after becoming a lich.

It seems that the Blood Demon cannot escape this disaster. Facing the dean's questioning, Elisana Ravencase, who was wearing a black eye patch and was thin, pointed to her feet and said:

"That bastard is in the Ravencrest family cemetery below the castle. He manipulated the souls of my people and tried to create a death aberration to fight against us.

But he underestimated the will of the Ravencrest family. Several of my tribesmen attacked him with the help of Sarain. Now he is imprisoned in a cage, waiting for your trial. "

"very good."

Ms. Lich nodded with satisfaction. She leaned on her staff and said to Elisana who was equally excited but still suppressed her inner feelings:

“Go, child, and unlock the magic lock on your father’s grave, and I will awaken your father myself when I have completed my education of the Blood Demon.

Lord Culotas Ravencrest, the last light of courage in the Elf Empire, the supreme role model for all nobles, my old friend, I will personally guide him from his long sleep back to the material world.

At that time, it will be up to him to decide whether he goes or stays. "

"Um."

Elisana nodded sharply.

She paid tribute to Dean Blue Moon and strode towards the secret place in the castle.

The ones following her were not death knights, but her fellow demon hunter Marius Demonbane.

This guy inherited the bad temper of the demon hunters. He obviously didn't believe in these guys who were resurrected from the dead. He felt that his compatriots were now very vulnerable and needed his protection.

Although Elisana Ravencrest, a high-level Illidari hunter, can beat him, a former recruit, with one hand, Elisana is very excited now, and she must pay special attention to the recurrence of inner demons at this time. .

And she is a girl, and he is an elf gentleman, and it is his duty to protect her.

"Be careful to maintain your emotions and don't let your inner demons pop out here."

Blake said behind Elisana:

"You also know that your father hates demons the most. If he sees a demon living in his precious daughter, then the great lord will probably be angry to death again."

"Can't you say something nice?"

Xalatas, wearing her most beloved "clothes", covered her face, shrouding Onyxia's graceful figure in a black robe. She followed the little master and whispered:

"What a wonderful thing it is for father and daughter to meet again after ten thousand years. If it weren't for the fact that I am an emotionless essence of the void, I would be moved."

"Yeah, but it would make your words more true if you could remove my hand from your chest."

The pirate said with a wooden face:

"open."

"whispering sound"

Xalatas curled his lips, let go of Black's hand, put on a dignified look, and followed Dean Blue Moon down the catacombs of the castle.

At the base of the castle is the family cemetery of the Ravencrest family, where all members of the family are buried after their death.

Although it is difficult for Blake to understand the idea of ​​building a castle on top of a cemetery, there is no way. This is the aristocratic culture of the Elf Empire.

The catacombs at this time were extremely eerie, and when the pirates walked in, they could feel the cold air around them almost turning into frost.

The concentration of death aura here is extremely high, but it is not controlled.

"I've learned something, so I'm not hopeless."

Dean Lanyue looked at the death aura surrounding her and nodded with satisfaction. This was what Tarongor created during his desperate counterattack.

That cunning orc must have gotten inspiration from the group of real death knights under Dean Blue Moon and understood the difference between shadow and death.

This proves that Blood Demon is indeed a very good researcher. If you give him some time, he may really be able to understand the knowledge of death.

Unfortunately, his wisdom was not used in a reasonable way.

This is why Dean Lan Yue is so angry with him.

If you were a fool from the beginning, that would be fine.

But obviously having talent, but having to waste time on other useless things is a terrible waste of talent. This kind of waste is intolerable in the eyes of educators.

"boom"

The holy staff of Aluneth was touched on the ground. With the control of energy by the ancient elements and the "swallowing" of the lich, all the death aura in the entire catacombs was absorbed into the dean's soul in one "deep breath". In the body.

This made the dean's spirit body become more solid.

Her entire lich form is different from that of old Merry.

The dean's bones have weathered over a long period of time, so if she wants to reshape herself into a lich body, she must first find some bones that are full of the essence of death.

This thing is not easy to find at this time.

Therefore, the dean has always maintained the spirit form, but this does not prevent her from releasing those powerful death magics. Also, because of the spirit form, Ms. Alya Blue Moon has the ability to "occupy" Terrible ability.

As long as the dean is willing, she can seize control of the body from others at any time, crush the soul of the poor man, occupy the magpie's nest, and permanently own a body of flesh and blood.

With Dean Lanyue's current strength, she can even easily complete the occupation of the Legend if she has made arrangements in advance and has her own bad students to help.

However, given the dean's character, she would not do such an evil thing.

The premise is that other people don't offend her. Once the emotionless lich bursts out with murderous intent, it is very terrifying. There are few things in this world that can stop them from slaughtering the weak and weak living beings.

One blast of death and blight is enough to destroy a small town.

"Talon Gorefiend!"

Blake walked to the cage in the center of the tomb and looked at the Nightborne elf slumped in the cage. Although his face had been changed, he could still see the cunning and vicious character of the Blood Demon in those hazy eyes. soul.

The pirate stole his helmet and looked at the extremely embarrassed Blood Demon in the cage.

The ghosts of the Ravencrest family hated him for using evil methods to enslave them, so they were particularly vicious in their revenge. The Blood Demon's body was almost torn apart.

The wound in the abdomen is unbearable for any living person.

Fortunately, the Blood Demon died long ago. Now he is just a lonely ghost who can never return to his hometown and cannot control his destiny.

"Do you still recognize me?"

The pirate squatted down outside the cage and looked into the dim eyes of the Blood Demon. The latter looked at the handsome guy with blond hair and blue eyes in front of him. He carefully distinguished the man in front of him. After a few seconds, he let out a deep laugh.

He replied in orcish:

"It turns out to be you, 'Orc Killer'.

I heard that Gul'dan died at your hands, and that idiot Cho'gall was almost killed by you, and at that time you were just a bug that could be easily crushed.

The bugs I once had have grown to the point where I look up to them.

Tsk tsk, this is fate. "

After saying that, he closed his eyes, leaned against the cage, put on a "I don't care" attitude, and said:

"Kill if you want, don't humiliate me."

"What are you pretending to be?"

Blake sneered:

“You’ve never been a guy who doesn’t care about death, so stop pretending to be a tough guy here.

I am indeed very happy to see the guy I once had to look up to being trampled under my feet, but your embarrassed look really makes me feel unfulfilled.

I don't even bother talking to you anymore.

But don't be afraid, my dear Tarongor, I am not your judge and executioner today. I am just here to observe a trial. Don't pay attention to my existence, just think about how to deal with my mentor. "

After saying that, the pirate stood up, stepped aside with his hands behind his back, and made a "please" gesture for the dean.

Dean Lanyue walked to the blood demon with the holy staff of Alunes. The latter couldn't help but tremble. He felt a kind of death pull from the spiritual lich in front of him.

Something cold seemed to emerge from the darkness, sneering at his already exhausted soul.

It wasn't until he saw Dean Lan Yue's true face that the Blood Demon truly understood the meaning of the so-called "warning of death" that the dean had told him before.

He was just a scavenger picking up shells on the beach by the sea of ​​death knowledge. Any scraps that rushed over from the dim sea of ​​death were extremely satisfying to him.

And the woman in front of me is an explorer traveling alone in the sea of ​​death.

She has touched upon the true knowledge of death, and she has established a close connection with the world of the dead. In this material world full of living beings, lichs like Elya Blue Moon can even call themselves "the agents of death."

The two are indeed not on the same level in terms of knowledge.

Even the former Gul'dan.

No, the powers she and Gul'dan studied are not consistent and cannot be compared together.

"Talongor!"

Ms. Alya Blue Moon did not say any meaningless greetings.

She got straight to the point and said in a cold voice:

"You are the worst spellcaster I have ever seen!

You have wisdom but don’t use it well. You have talent but let it go to waste.

You have knowledge but never study, you have time but never cherish it.

You have no reverence for the truth of magic, you never fulfill your thirst for knowledge, and you regard the ultimate goal of the spellcaster as dispensable.

You regard knowledge as a means of profit and wisdom as a ladder to power. What you do is the greatest blasphemy against the power you have.

I even respect Gul'dan's thirst for power.

That proves that the orc's thirst for knowledge is as strong as his desire, but unfortunately, he will not teach his disciples that you are not worthy of everything you have.

So I'm going to take it away! "

"boom"

The staff in the dean's hand hit the ground, just like judgment falling.

The green energy originating from the aura of death poured into the cage and turned into ghastly claws, tearing at the blood demon's soul and making him scream in agony.

During Taron Gor's howl, the dean used strange methods to extract all the shadow magic he used to cast spells, stripping away all his spellcasting abilities without harming his soul.

All that is left is a weak soul and a rotting body.

But the dean did not take away his wisdom.

"From now on, you, Tarongor, will become an apprentice of the Theosophy School of Nathalas College. You must rely on your own learning ability and pass the assessment of all subjects in the college, otherwise you will have to stay in the college to study. .

I will watch over you, and if you fail, I will punish you, and your punishment will not end until you become a true seeker and scholar.

Now, pack your things and report to the academy immediately! "

After saying that, the dean turned and left without looking back.

The lich is so sassy, ​​even though she has eternal life, she is not willing to waste a second of time.

As for the blood demon.

He was lying in the cage with question marks all over his face.

He thought he was going to lose his mind today, but in the end, the strange lich just asked him to be an apprentice and learn knowledge?

Damn it, is this lich out of his mind?

What's wrong?

"Tsk, tsk, judging from your expression, you seem to think this is easy?"

The pirate asked curiously as he watched the excitement.

"Just studying."

The blood demon snorted and said:

"I have always been very confident in my learning ability. Can I gain freedom by passing all course examinations? Haha, it sounds easy."

"Oh, the ignorant are fearless. Look at you, so ordinary and yet so confident."

Blake said quietly:

“The oldest apprentices in Narthalas Academy who aspire to become learned scholars have studied for a full ten thousand years, but they are still not sure that they can pass the final test.

I really want to cut open your head and see what material your unfounded confidence is made of.

But since the dean has praised your talent, I have begun to have confidence in you. My junior, maybe you can graduate successfully in only 5,000 years? Become a legend and a miracle?

Well, you must work hard! "

After saying that, the stinky pirate laughed and led his servants deeper into the catacombs. There was a death aberration created by the blood demon there, and Black planned to go see if he could "use it".

The blood demon in the cage was lying there with a blank look in his eyes.

5000 years?

Rounding things off, what’s the difference between this and permanent imprisonment?

Damn it!

He is indeed a cruel lich, even capable of torturing people.

I am finished.
