Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 162 70. What the Turtles Care About

On the second floor of the warehouse, when Laike picked up the shell containing the epic item, the two tortoises who had been having a tantrum with each other just now immediately cheered.

They were so happy that they even jumped up and slapped their hands with their heavy shells on their backs.

This strange reaction made Bu Laike wake up for a moment.

He looked at the two tortoises in front of him, and belatedly realized that he seemed to be the protagonist in the story about educating children that Kou Qiao was writing.

These two cunning guys actually colluded together?

No wonder Totaka demanded from the very beginning that Bo Laike must be blindfolded.

The pirate's senses are sharp enough to detect the movements of the tortoise, but they can't detect the eye contact of the two turtles.

In this case, everything makes sense.

Kou Qiao first used two rounds of games to prove that Bu Laike really has a talent for treasure hunting, and then Totaka, who looks silly and stubborn, took over and played the role of a loser.

Losing to Bu Laike four times first put the Pirates off guard.

Then in the last round, using the pirate's ability to "smell" treasure, he set a small "trap" for him.

"The highest quality must be the treasure, but not necessarily the most valuable thing. My pirate friends, these are two concepts. The breath from the treasure blinds your eyes and makes you lose the game in the end.

But don't worry.

We didn't mean to set you up on purpose, it's just that your talent for treasure hunting is too terrible, we have to play this trick that doesn't work. "

Kou Qiao, the collector, stepped forward, took out the shiny gray object from the ten turtle shells, and placed it in front of Laike's eyes. He made a "please" gesture while explaining.

Cloth Laike stretched out his hand to hold the worn scroll in front of him, and took off the black cloth that covered his eyes. This thing was obviously a piece of garbage emitting gray light.

But in the equipment column of the character card, the entry belonging to it is shocking:

Hand Scroll of Fate

Broken Quality [Cursed Items Relics of Gods]

With special effects:

Unfold the scroll and have a heart-pounding "Hand of Fate" match with your enemies. The rules are simple: winners stay safe, losers keep their souls.

Item description:

It once belonged to a powerful loa, but unfortunately its owner has been permanently expelled from the material world, and the last vestiges of his divine power are attached to the scroll, making it a strange energy

Be careful, once you turn it on, but fail to please the hand of fate, then you will meet with bad luck.

"It turned out to be this thing."

The pirate rubbed his forehead with a headache.

This thing is also reflected in the game, and it is indeed from the hands of the ancestor turtle.

There are not many descriptions about it in the game, but once this scroll is opened, its power is indeed very, very amazing.

In terms of "value", the value of this unremarkable scroll and its attached power is indeed much stronger than an epic item.

No complaints about losing this time.

"I lost."

Laike nodded, put the scroll on the table, looked at the two tortoises in front of him, put his left hand on the thrashing blade at his waist, and a strange light flashed in his left eye.

Say:

"But I'm a pirate, don't you think that I will obediently fulfill my promise?"

"No, no, don't use your weapon, my friend. You do have something we must have."

Kou Qiao waved his paws, looked at the pirate exuding malice, and said:

"But it's not the collectibles that you value. Believe me, it has a very small role in your hands, but it is very important to us tortoises."

As he spoke, the collector stretched out his paws, reaching for the collection in front of the pirate.

His gaze didn't stay on the few legendary items, and he directly grabbed the most inconspicuous tidal charm in Bo Laike's hand, as if he had obtained the most precious treasure.

Hand it over to Totaka, and in the language of the tortoise, seriously exhort:

"Send it to Nora as quickly as possible, and send it to the wisest scroll sage among us, and we will definitely find clues about the Tidal Stone from it.

To stop the vicious Naga from chasing and slaughtering our compatriots, we must find that artifact! "

"wait!"

The pirate raised his hand, interrupting the conversation between the two tortoises.

He raised his head and looked at the two of them with puzzled eyes. A few seconds later, Bu Laike asked in a jerky tortoise language and couldn't help laughing:

"Friends, you played so many tricks, and you deliberately lost so many treasures to me just to find the Tidal Stone?

Why don't you just ask me directly?

I know exactly where that thing is, and I am willing to share its hiding place with my generous friends. "

"You, do you know our language?"

Totaka immediately grabbed the turtle man's war halberd, while Kou Qiao focused on another matter.

The collector looked at the pirate in astonishment, and then at the tide spell in his hand.

He said:

"You know the Tide Stone? And where it is? Really? I don't quite believe it, my friend."

"Ahem, then listen carefully, I'll just say a little bit."

The unhappiness of being tricked in Bo Laike's heart will disappear completely, he slowly took out the dwarf pipe, put it in his mouth, coughed, and exhaled a puff of smoke rings.

Slowly raised a finger and said:

"First of all, the Tidal Stone, one of the five Pillars of Creation, is called 'Gorgonar's Tidal Stone'. It is said that the appearance of Azeroth's oceans originated from that artifact.

Secondly, 10,000 years ago, this artifact was stored in the elven city Azsuna near the capital of the ancient elven empire, Zin-Azhali, and was kept and controlled by Farondis, a magic prince under the command of Queen Azshara.

In the end, it has not moved anywhere for ten thousand years.

Do you want me to go on? "

"Tortola! We have never heard of what you said!"

Kou Qiao, the turtle collector, exclaimed.

He hurriedly grabbed the scroll at hand and recorded what Bu Laike said just now. While writing, he said to the pirate:

"Even so, I don't think you are deceiving us. But since you know this legend, you are a pirate who roams the sea.

In her hand, Queen Naga imitated the divine power of the tide stone, made it, and distributed it to the leaders of the various Naga clans under her command, such as tidal charms.

Why don't you look for the artifact that can rule the sea?

With it, you will become the real king of the sea in Azeroth! In the endless sea, no one can match your majestic power! "

"Really? This tide spell has this effect? ​​I don't even know it. It seems that there are many blind spots in my memory and knowledge."

Laike rubbed his chin, sighed a little, then looked at the two excited tortoises, and announced the regrettable answer:

"Because the Tidal Stone has been broken. It was broken ten thousand years ago, and most of the power of the artifact has already dissipated.

Ten thousand years ago, after sensing the betrayal of Prince Farondis, Queen Azshara, the "Light of Light", shattered the artifact with her own hands, and borrowed its creative power to cast down a terrifying force that lasted thousands of years. curse.

The effect of that curse is much more powerful than the little trick played by Bwonsamdi and Hela.

It remains in its prime until today. "

Bu Laike's words, like a basin of cold water, ruthlessly splashed on Kojo and Totaka, causing the joy in the eyes of the two tortoises to quickly turn into a touch of shock and loss.

"So, if you want to find the Tidal Stone and use its power to fight against the thriving Deep Sea Naga Empire, you are basically doing nothing."

Bo Laike exhaled the smoke ring, rolled his eyes, and a brilliant plan took shape in his mind.

and said to the two silent tortoises:

"But don't be too desperate. The fragments of the artifact should still have some power to manipulate the sea. If you can find one or two of them, it shouldn't be a big problem to set up a shelter with powerful divine power in the sea.

I've always been nice to my friends.

So I would like to help you, my generous friends. "

The pirate stretched out his hand to hold the scroll in front of him, waved it in front of the eyes of the two tortoises, and said:

"I took this thing as a deposit, and the Tidal Stone is still in the Azsuna area of ​​the Broken Isles. When you are ready for the expedition, contact me.

I will come with my fleet to support you. "

"you"

Kojo watched as Boo Laike dropped the Hand of Fate scroll into his bag, and the Collector wanted to stop it.

But the raised claws finally clenched.

He thought for a while, and said to the pirate:

"According to what you said, if the fragments of the Tidal Stone still have divine power, we must get it. The attacks of the Naga are becoming more and more frequent.

Our cities in Vashj'ir have been destroyed by their berserk armies.

The night elves are willing to help, they and the naga are also enemies for generations, but their sentry troops are strong, but they are not good at underwater combat, we must get that artifact."

"Uh, in fact, if you have the spirit of sacrifice, it's not just the Tidal Stone that can be used by you."

The light in Bu Laike's eyes darkened.

He looked at the two tortoises in front of him, thought for a few seconds, and said:

"Just in Vashj'ir, in the waters controlled by the Naga, there is actually a weapon that can also manipulate the power of the sea. But that thing is Azshara's favorite thing.

do you understand me? friend.

Once you snatch that thing, while gaining the power to protect yourself, it will inevitably attract the endless pursuit of Naga. "

"They're already killing us!"

Totaka said grumpily:

"Our city in Vashj'ir is not the first city to be destroyed by the Naga, they hate everything related to the night elves, and our god, Tortola, is a demigod worshiped by the night elf druids.

They see us, too, as enemies that must be eradicated.

If you can bring us the power to protect ourselves, then all the tortoises will regard you as a true friend! Your fleet is at sea and can get help from all the tortoises.

Our strongholds, our charts, and our collections will all be open to you!

Captain Boo Laike, this is our promise.

but you must

Let us first see the power of your promise. "

"okay."

Bu Laike played with the worn-out sword hilt in his hand, he said:

"I have to think about whether it is worth offending the powerful Naga for you.

But you can start preparing now, divide some people to go to Azsuna, look for the fragments of the Tidal Stone, and I will give you a detailed map.

And that weapon in Vashj'ir, friends, you well-informed collectors, have you heard of the name Sarah Hill?

Or its other name, Azshara's Tidal Scepter. "

Kojo and Totaka looked at each other, and the two tortoises nodded at the same time.

They've heard of it.

"Very well, then I don't need to explain its power."

Bu Laike snapped his fingers and said to Totaka:

"You see, my subordinates had conflicts with your subordinates, but as leaders, we have to be more rational.

You want that ship to transport supplies to your suffering compatriots. This is an act of kindness. Although I am a pirate, I don't want to stop it.

How about this.

That ship belongs to us.

After I finish my work on the Eastern Continent, I will try my best to help you find the Tidal Stone.

It just so happened that when we were going back to the Eastern Continent, we barely made it to Vashj'ir, so I helped you deliver the supplies there, and saved you the trouble of finding escorts everywhere.

As for the sea area of ​​Vashj'ir, I'm not talking about it, I'm very familiar with it.

I also know where the Tidal Scepter is hidden by those Naga sea witches. "

The pirate snorted, nodded his head, and said:

"But it must be very difficult to seize it when the Naga has an absolute advantage.

You and I will have to pay a very high price, so, after we find the Tidal Stone first, and after the trust level of both parties has increased, we can move forward with this adventurous plan.

Sly friends. "
