Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1595 228. We can't come here for nothing

"Oh, can you be gentle! That's my face, not your assassination target!"

In the carriage back to Stormwind City from Westfall, Bo Laike was sitting opposite Shaw, letting the SI:7 spy chief help him apply healing medicine to the wound on his face with a smothered smile.

Although the smelly pirate was full of anger and showed no signs of injury, but just looking at his appearance, he was definitely very, very miserable, as miserable as being run over by a hundred elephants in turn.

"I said, why did we have to fight in the end?"

Shaw wrapped one of the best magicweave bandages on Braike's "seriously injured" forehead. He looked back at Long Beach, which was almost completely destroyed by the storm, and sighed in his heart that the Kingdom of Stormwind had lost a tourist attraction forever. Curiously, he looked at the unlucky-faced Braike with his pipe in his mouth and his eyes closed.

He said:

"The relationship between you and Queen Azshara seems to be beyond ordinary monarchs and ministers. I just secretly saw her asking you in a low voice if the beating hurts before she left?

Maybe I'm crazy, but I always feel that the proud empress is guilty of you.

Tell me honestly, did you sleep the dreadful Empress of the Deep, as rumored? It is said that you enjoy the feeling of tentacles entangled. "

"Okay! You Shaw, let me tell you where these damned lower body rumors come from. I didn't expect you to be one of those damned spreaders!"

Bu Laike suddenly lost his temper, he patted the table in the carriage and complained:

"I've had enough of the bloody gossip about me having an affair with Her Majesty Ysera.

As the gossip queen of the dreamland, Her Majesty Ysera has been so dissolute in the outrageous rumors that she has had an affair with every druid of some reputation, and she doesn't care about it anyway.

But how can you so shamelessly declare that I like tentacle girls?

Although Queen Azshara does have an exotic style that most women do not have, but as my brother, shouldn't you say a few words for me?

Why do you stand by and watch while they spread bad things about me, and even take part in spreading the damn gossip yourself? "

"But I don't think this is a sarcasm for you?"

Xiao Er solemnly took out a cigar, put it under his nose and sniffed lightly, and said:

"You don't know the joy of those sailors on the pier when they spread the gossip about you after they got drunk, but they all have a look of envy and wish to replace it.

The story between you and Queen Azshara is already the most popular erotic novel nowadays. Almost every lady in Stormwind has a copy, and Mary still insists on me asking you for an autograph.

By the way, I would like to ask about the details of the relationship between you and the empress that make people blush and heartbeat.

I think with your pirates' chaotic and crazy worldview, this might be considered a bragging rights for you.

that's azshara

It's a character in myths and legends.

You slept with a god! my dear brother.

And seeing with my own eyes that the Queen has to control her strength so as not to break you when she beats you, I really don't think they are talking nonsense.

There's a good chance that this comical thing is true. "

"Okay, stop talking about this damn stuff, you want to know why I ended this disagreement with Queen Azshara by destroying Long Beach?"

The pirate curled his lips, exhaled a smoke ring and said:

"Don't pretend to be a baby bird, it's impossible for an old silver coin like you not to know what it's for."

"Did you call N'Zoth?"

Xiao Er laughed and said:

"Fight a battle with a broken attitude, pretending to be defeated and fleeing, so as to give the desperate N'Zoth a little sweetness of hope, let him think that he can really win Azshara as an ally to deal with the Titan Guardian and you inevitable attack?"

"That's about it."

Bu Laike sighed, looking at the calm sea in the distance, he said:

"To be honest, if possible, I would prefer that the crusade against N'Zoth be completed by myself, Azshara's character has some uncertain factors that are scary.

I really can't confirm whether the revival dream of an empire can really restrain the waywardness and indulgence hidden deep in her soul.

You know, she belongs to the bad character of a rich lady who looks noble but acts recklessly. She can't control her desires at critical moments.

In other words, she has become used to seeing her existence as the king of the world who can dominate all things and bear all consequences.

Although most of the time, she is.

What she doesn't realize is that she's actually playing a dangerous game of tightrope walking, where a single mistake at a critical moment could kill her.

She has already made a mistake once.

That has kept her stable for ten thousand years, but now that she is seeing victory in sight, that kind of personal character flaw is just around the corner again.

Thanks to me

Otherwise, I don't know what shocking event she is going to do this time.

Alas, the long training session is not over yet, if only I had been given a little more time. "

"Teaching?"

Xiao Er stared at his crazy brother with wide eyes, he was silent for a while, and said:

"You evil guys are really playing, it really opened my eyes. Oh, by the way, did I tell you that Her Royal Highness Princess Calia is traveling in the Kingdom of Stormwind these days."

"?"

Bu Laike blinked, he looked at Shore, frowned and said:

"What do you want to say?"

"Ah? Aren't you going to Stormwind City for your future wife?"

Xiao Er pretended to be surprised, but actually said with a suppressed smile:

"Oh, this seems to be an impermanent fate, just now when you were whispering to Queen Azshara, I sent someone to notify Her Royal Highness.

According to Her Royal Highness’s reply, I moved your accommodation tonight from the SI7 dormitory to Her Royal Highness’s residence. Now she should be packing up and waiting for her fiancé to arrive.

Need me to help you send someone to inform Her Royal Highness that you can't go tonight because of something? "

"You bastard!"

Bu Laike covered his forehead and said in pain:

"I'm very busy now, don't make trouble for me, okay? Are you happy to see me having a headache? I just had a fight with the most powerful woman in the world, and I have to go to Heishi Mountain to deal with the black dragon." Well, I really don't have time to waste on these things."

"I know, men, you should put your career first."

Xiao Er laughed, took out a stack of documents from the hidden compartment of his carriage, and handed it to Bu Laike, who took a look in his hand, and suddenly looked at Xiao Er in surprise.

He said:

"It seems that I underestimated SI7. You have collected so much information about the black dragon on Black Rock Mountain. Are you planning to launch some plan for them?"

"Well, I had this plan, but it had to be put on hold due to the recovery of His Majesty Lothar and the invasion of the devil spies."

Shore explained:

"Actually, you mocked the time when we were infiltrated like a sieve, because I sent all the capable spies to the Burning Plains and Scorching Canyon, and the spies who stayed in the headquarters were all caused by a group of novices.

The concern for the black dragon is not only related to the national security of the Stormwind Kingdom, but also related to my personal strength. "

The Spymaster took out his own dragon's tooth blade, stroked the blade and said to Bu Laike:

"Since you gave me this powerful weapon, I have been looking for traces of the black dragons and obtaining source quality gems from them. According to your reminder, I have strengthened these sharp blades to the limit.

Next, it is time to obtain the power of the powerful black dragon to complete its second promotion. This weapon may become an artifact to protect the country of the Stormwind Kingdom and even the future human empire. It is too careless.

We also got the help of the red dragons from the Ruby Holy Land. Several blue dragons also participated in this operation. They were eager to see the black dragon suffer bad luck, so they put in a lot of effort.

I've planted some insiders among the dragon's minions in Blackwing Lair.

If you plan to take action against the black dragon, then we can advance this matter together. "

"Uh, it's not impossible. We two brothers haven't been on the battlefield together for a long time anyway, but this time you probably have to overcome your dislike of green-skinned orcs."

Bu Laike flipped through the file and said to Shaw:

"This time, the orc warriors under the command of Chief Red will also participate in this matter, as well as the Dark Iron Dwarves. Their queen can't bear the black dragon's infiltration in Darkforge City."

Xiao Er was silent for a few seconds, nodded and said:

"I can cooperate with the orcs, which is for the benefit of the country. By the way, now that we have talked about this issue, we can also talk about the orc shelter in Redridge Mountains.

The castle that was specially used to hold orc prisoners was recently attacked by the black dragon. In order to defend it, the soldiers of the Morgan Legion suffered heavy losses.

His Majesty Varian wants to get rid of this burden.

After all, the money used to maintain the castle comes from the kingdom's tax revenue, and His Majesty does not plan to keep those green-skinned captives who can't do anything anymore. "

"Send someone to talk to Red about this."

Bu Laike dropped the file, spread his hands and said:

"I don't care about these, and I don't bother to care about them. Anyway, you are not far from Black Rock Mountain. I believe that SI:7 must have the means to contact Reid.

Perhaps you can become an example for the seven nations of mankind. "

"Of course the Kingdom of Stormwind can, but you have to consider the situation in the northern border."

Xiao Er knocked on the table and reminded:

"Releasing the orc captives to the orthodox tribe will undoubtedly arouse the anger of the people, not to mention Gilneas, that country has almost lost its burden during the werewolf rebellion.

Don't think I don't know, during that time a large number of orc prisoners belonging to Gilneas were secretly sent to Blackrock Mountain by the Uncrowned.

But it is not so easy for other nations, especially Lordaeron and Stormgard, and now, you have an opportunity, my brother. "

"What the hell are you implying?"

Bu Laike stared at Shaw with staring eyes, obviously, he knew what Shore was talking about, he was just pretending to be confused.

"Princess Calia, who has been confirmed as the next king of Lordaeron."

Shaw didn't hide it either.

He tapped the table again and said to Bo Laike:

"As long as you convince her, King Terenas, who has already decided to abdicate, probably won't object to the release of those orc prisoners. To be honest, in the past few years, in order to feed those orc captives, various countries have been under great pressure.

Everyone is waiting for an opportunity, either kill all those orcs, or throw them out like garbage. Anyway, all countries have ambassadors in Dellano world, and the reconstruction of that world requires a lot of manpower.

Everyone is waiting for the first bird to stand up.

I mean, it's not impossible for these greenskins who committed war crimes to be sent back to their world if some kind of agreement can be made with Dellano in favor of the kingdom.

To be honest, now that the demon war is coming, leaving a large number of greenskins suffering from manaemia in the hinterland of human civilization is a potential threat no matter what.

As an intelligence collector, I hope, more than anyone, that we get rid of this hot potato. "

"Is that what you meant, or what Varian meant?"

Bu Laike was silent for a few seconds and asked a question.

"His Majesty Varian regards Princess Calia as his biological sister, and he also hopes that Her Highness will have a perfect life and a happy marriage.

But because of some reasons known to everyone in the past, it is no longer possible for Princess Calia to obtain all the happiness she desires from ordinary men. "

Shaw sighed, lit his cigar, and said:

"From a personal point of view, I sympathize with her very much. There are really not many people in this world who can protect her, and your identity and your strength are doomed to be the most suitable one among them.

Her Royal Highness's appearance and personal temperament are very outstanding regardless of the aesthetics of any race. I don't understand why you must resist this marriage that everyone wants to see?

There are so many women around you, she is not bad, right? "

"I'm not resisting, Shaw."

Bu Laike propped his chin up on the table, looking at the scenery from the Westfall into the Erwin Forest, he saw the towering Fortress of West Springs in the distance, and also saw a group of Boy Scouts being trained by soldiers in the forest.

He rubbed his forehead and said:

"It's not difficult for you to understand that all Calia needs is a husband who can protect her in name.

Although many people accuse me of being promiscuous, I can tell you responsibly that my wives and I are true love. Don't laugh, bastard! I'm serious.

Our relationship is based on taking each other very seriously.

But political marriage is different.

I can absorb Calia as my pirate captain, give her the status of a pirate governor, and even help her complete this marriage, protecting her with a nominal husband and wife relationship.

But I really don't want to pay extra emotion for it.

I know her identity, know her information, know her past and character, but emotionally, she is a stranger to me.

Would you have a sudden burst of love with a stranger?

If you do, you're crazy.

Do you think I look like a madman? "

The pirate sighed melancholy, he would be melancholy like a young man in his twenties who has no serious job and fantasizes that he is a literary and artistic writer.

He said:

"I killed Elisande for Sephiel and overthrew a nation. I hunted down two ancient gods for the resurrection of Xal'atath. I am about to travel through relentless time for my Maiev, and even to finish The difficult task of balancing the stars.

You see, every relationship puts me under horrendous stress, and it would not have been wise for me to start another relationship under the circumstances. "

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, he and others really hadn't thought about the problem from this angle.

He nodded and stopped persuading Bo Laike to accept Princess Calia, which meant that Shaw had given up the mission His Majesty Varian entrusted to him, but the person opposite was his brother.

Some things always go beyond duty.

"Put me down in Gold Shining Town. I'll rest at the Lion King's Pride Hotel for one night, and then I'm leaving for Black Rock Mountain."

The pirate exhaled the smoke ring and said to Shaw:

"Send my regards to His Majesty Varian, and may the great High King complete his great cause of unifying the empire at an early date. By the way, get SI:7 ready.

Let's hunt a few dragons for our own amusement, for the power my brother already has close at hand. "
