Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 122 32. The Lizard's Gratitude

After a busy night, when the desert dawn came, the ruined towns around the Akunda Temple had been looted by pirates.

When several vulper tribes around drove a caravan and rushed to the temple in the dawn sunlight, they saw a large pile of various items piled up on the square of the temple.

There were still shirtless green-skinned orcs around who picked up more heavy objects and continued to pile them on top of it.

The orc warlock Xieyan played the "treasure appraiser" as a guest.

In fact, his knowledge is not necessarily higher than other orcs, but as a warlock, he is always more sensitive to magic items.

Moreover, he was specially instructed by the captain to keep only those treasures that are of high value and easy to carry, and those that are slightly heavier will be discarded.

"Little foxes, come here, come here, I have something to tell you."

Seeing the leaders of fox people from several different tribes gathered together, they hesitated to come up to the platform, probably because they were frightened by the group of fierce orcs who were fully armed and guarding the treasure.

Now Laike, who was smoking a pipe, beckoned to them, and Udora stepped forward to act as a bridge of communication, and the leaders of the vulpes came over with confidence.

Fox people are not a matrilineal clan, and both men and women may become leaders.

But these leaders are much older than Eudora.

Well, these cowardly natives who are helpless in the Wharton Desert and have not been able to develop are actually fucking immortals.

According to Yudora, under normal circumstances, fox people can live to be two hundred years old.

Calculated in this way, the entire world of Azeroth basically has human races as ephemeral races, and other races are always at the bottom of two or three hundred years, which is really frustrating.

But there are benefits too.

Accumulated over a long lifespan is a sufficiently steady wisdom, the kind of wisdom that they can know the situation in front of them without Laike's further exaggeration.

Therefore, when they walked up to the pirate captain, several vulper leaders bowed down and saluted at the same time, their attitudes were very submissive, probably treating Laike as a vicious character similar to the leader of the desert gang.

But no.

Bu Laike is much worse than those little bandits who nest in the desert and dominate.

"The envoy sent by my quartermaster should have told you my needs."

Bu Laike was smoking a pipe, and without any nonsense, he directly pointed to the pile of things on the square beside him and said:

"I want all the caravans and hyena mounts in your tribes to be paid for with those things. How you divide it is up to you to discuss, and I will not participate.

I will take away all the troll exiles near the Akunda Temple.

So after this temple, it will be handed over to you to control.

Is there a problem? "

Facing his question, several hooded vulper leaders looked at me and I looked at you, and finally the oldest vulpe said:

"Mr. Laike, we are willing to give our caravans and coyotes, and we are willing to take over this temple and transform it into the largest market town in the Vol'dun Desert.

But we have a small request. "

The fox elder secretly looked at Bu Laike's expression, and said:

"The Akunda Temple is very close to the ruins of Atu Aman, where a group of vicious desert bandits are entrenched. If we take over the temple, they will definitely know that something happened to the god Akunda.

They must come to rob us, how about you and your warriors?"

Pirates can feel the tangle of these fox people.

The little vixen race is really unbearable in terms of force. This is determined by innate quality, and it is not as powerful as these Zandalari trolls.

As for the Zandalari trolls who straightened their backs, they are almost the tallest in Azeroth in terms of height alone, so the tauren who have not yet shown up can compare with them.

With the blessing of god belief and the regeneration ability of the race, it is not afraid of being injured when fighting, and it is extremely fierce.

An adult vulpe is not even as tall as the waist of a Zandalari troll, and unlike the dwarves, although they are short, they are full of muscle bumps.

Once the Zandalari desert bandits gathered near the temple really attacked, the foxes really couldn't stop them.

"It's okay, that shameful loa of Akunda will wake up soon."

Bu Laike waved his hand, giving these vulpes a reassurance first, then rolled his eyes, pushed his blindfold, rubbed his chin, and said to several vulpe leaders:

"Plus, I'm going to the Wind Flower Oasis, and the ruins of Atu Aman just block my way. Today, the warriors under my command will spend a day cleaning it up.

But we are not familiar with the local terrain”

"We can provide guides!"

The fox elder rolled his eyes, immediately pricked up his ears, and said to the pirate:

"We can also provide healing potions and food. We live nearby and are familiar with the ruins. Although our people can't fight, we can help in the rear."

"Then it's settled."

The pirate grinned, and left his quartermaster, Yudora, to discuss the next thing with the vulpe leaders, and called the two Black Hand brothers who were drinking.

Instructing them to prepare for battle and capture prisoners, the warlike orcs responded immediately, and soon began to sharpen their swords.

"Captain, this is your share."

The orc warlock Xieyan sneaked forward and handed two full magic bags to Bu Laike. He said:

"There are not many magic items in this place, but they are all very ancient handicrafts. If you bring them back to the Eastern Continent and sell them to knowledgeable collectors, you can get a lot of money."

Bo Laike nodded, put the two bags back around his waist, and hooked his fingers again.

Xieyan handed over two small packages of treasure with winking eyes.

The pirate carried the two packages, took a look at the rising sun, and walked into the silent Akunda Temple. As soon as he opened the door and entered, he saw Meili Dongfeng feeding some kind of hot water to the big lizard. Foaming purple potion.

A stench echoed in the temple.

The legendary assassin Garona leaned on the pillar of the temple, playing with a troll-style throwing knife in her hand, watching the scene in front of her with interest.

"Hey, your share."

Bu Laike casually threw a bag of treasures to Garona, the assassin was not polite, took it, and threw it into his magic bag without even looking at it.

At her level of strength, there is not much demand for money.

She is a shadow walker, and she really needs money. Just go to the royal treasure Curry in any country, and you will have everything.

At this node in Azeroth, there may be many people who can beat Garona.

But those who could find her in the shadows could be counted on one hand.

"Master, when will Akunda wake up?"

Bu Laike waited until Meili Dongfeng picked up the empty potion bottle, then asked in a low voice, the demilich shook his head, and reached out to touch Akunda's thick scales that were no longer beating lightning.

He said:

"That peculiar toxin is not only affecting its demigod body, but also disturbing its beast mind, and perhaps arousing the dark side in its heart.

I can weaken poison, but I'm not a priest or a warlock, I don't have the ability to touch souls. "

"I am!"

The pirate's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward full of confidence.

Holding Gul'dan's head in his left hand, he flicked the shadow magic power with his right hand, and threw the only magic fear technique he had mastered so far towards Akunda's huge body.

The old mage did not interfere with the process.

He looked at Bu Laike's poor technique, the mana model was full of details and errors, the power should have been very small, but under the magic boost of Gul'dan's head, the fear spell that reached a very exaggerated level disappeared in the lizard god on the body.

Akunda's huge body shook, and an electric arc ran across his body, but he still didn't wake up.

"A few more."

The old mage leaned on a pine stick and said:

"Don't be afraid, it is very weak, even if it wakes up, it won't attack you immediately.

In addition, pay attention to the movement when casting spells and the construction of the mana model. At your level, in Dalaran, you will be expelled from the mage tower by the instructor and moved to the sewer to live. "

"it is good."

The pirate was embarrassed for a moment.

The second spell casting was much slower, and he paid attention to the details. After that, he cast spells three times in a row, but Meili Dongfeng found fault with them all.

But the result is good.

When the fifth enhanced fear technique was thrown into Akunda's body, the lizard god finally woke up from the weakness of his soul.

"Aw!"

It raised its head and let out a strange howl, as if it had a nightmare, causing the electric arcs on its body to spread out densely like clusters of explosions.

In an instant, a terrifying static field was formed.

Bo Laike could feel his newly grown hair standing on end, and his whole body was enveloped by the blue electric grid.

I dare not move.

For fear of attracting an attack from Akunda who just woke up and his mind is not clear yet.

This thing is a real loa.

The demigod derived from the life force is much higher than the legendary power. If he really wants to get angry, even if Garona and Meri Dongfeng are here, Bu Laike may not be able to escape.

Purely in terms of strength, Akunda is already the most powerful creature that Laike has encountered since his rebirth.

Well, Deathwing doesn't count.

That guy can't be summed up in a normal power system.

It is heterogeneous in every way.

"Ah, brave little creatures, you saved me."

Akunda quickly recovered from the waking stress response. It shook its head like a dragon, and immediately withdrew its thunder power, quieting the temple.

Outside the temple, after witnessing Akunda's divine power, those Zandalari exiles who had been poisoned for a long time and their brains were not clear, knelt down in an instant.

The foxes who came to receive the temple also trembled, praising Akunda's greatness and power just like the exiles.

But the big lizard obviously didn't want to pay attention to them.

With some difficulty, it used its weak limbs to prop up its body, wagging its tail, like walking on a hill.

He used those pure white eyes wrapped in electric arcs to look at the three creatures in front of him. Although it was unconscious before, it seemed to be able to perceive what was going on around it.

Then in a low voice, he said to the three people in front of him:

"Akunda the Wise, Akunda the Bad, and Akunda the Lockpicker, thank you for your heroic assistance in escaping that terrible fate.

Della's web of intrigue has wrapped itself around me, Gibble's warnings are right, I was too dull to notice the darkness creeping towards me.

Ah, even the peaceful Wodun Desert is being dragged into the political struggle of the Zanchuli Council.

The brazen machinations of those Zandalari trolls make me angry.

After I fall, they may still extend their claws to the courageous and righteous Jibul. Perhaps, I should leave the temple and go to Zuldazar with Jibul to report this matter to the mighty Rezan.

But before that, as Akunda, I must give you my thanks and praise. "

The big lizard was shaking its head and talking, it seemed to be a little articulate, of course, it may be that the big lizard speaks like this. However, it still worked hard to maintain the majesty of being a loa, and said to the three people in front of it:

"Tell me, little ones, what do you want from Akunda, don't be restrained."

The three looked at each other.

The old mage was the first to speak. He bowed to Akunda and said:

"As a spellcaster, I am very concerned about the dark forces on Zandalar Island. I need answers from history."

Garona was the second to speak, and she said to Akunda:

"I am a shadow walker, I pursue the way of shadows, and I am eager to know the mysteries of shadows."

Boo Laike made the last opening.

Compared with the vain things that the first two pursued, such as wisdom and power, what the pirates want is very pure and direct.

He raised his head and said to Akunda:

"I'm being pursued by a madwoman's minions who are worse than old Bwonsamdi, and I'm ready to fight to the death with the villain's minions.

I need you to help me, Akunda.

I need you to use your storm and thunder to crush that bastard when necessary! "
