Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 176 84. Remember My Kindness

"Drustvar, that is a place shrouded in darkness. When I was a child, I grew up listening to legends about evil witches there. When I was a child, the servants would kindly scare me.

It is said that in your ghost place, witches will take revenge on those they hate in the dark.

Using witchcraft to turn them into pigs, they sneaked into the pigsty. Careless butchers often did not distinguish, and they would bring those pigs crying for help into the slaughterhouse.

Tsk tsk, now that I think about it, I did have one or two times when I was a child, and I was quite frightened by those evil-minded guys.

So much so that I can only sleep with my father at night.

There is always peace of mind around him. "

On the side of the Naglfar, Bo Laike, dressed as a pirate, reminisces about the past, the heavy and cold water flowing in front of his eyes, which is blocked by a film of water on the Naglfar's deck.

Let this ghost ship in deep water maintain enough oxygen for breathing.

Beside him, Miss Meredith bowed her head, her hands tied around her flat stomach, listening to Prince Drake describe the past, but it didn't make her feel comfortable.

Bo Laike seemed to sense Miss Meredith's uneasiness. He glanced at the future lady and said:

"Ready to go home?"

"I"

Miss Meredith gave Bo Laike a fearful look, and the clever girl whispered:

"I'm waiting for your order, Your Royal Highness. You said earlier that you want me to do a few things for you. Old Herb has already got his task. I think I should too."

"Don't be so afraid of me, Meredith, you are Arthur's fiancée, and Arthur is my friend."

The pirate waved his hand and said:

"The first thing I want you to do is very simple, do your duty as a wife.

The war is almost over, and Arthur will return home exhausted.

His father, Old Vic Lord Reiss, was very old. After returning this time, Arthur would probably inherit the power of the family and become one of the most powerful people in Kul Tiras.

Since he and you are true love, then protect this love, serve him, accompany him, comfort him, and let his wounded heart be soothed. "

"I will, Your Highness. I will definitely take good care of my future husband and fulfill my due duties."

Hearing Bo Laike's words, Miss Meredith showed a touch of sincere gratitude and touch.

His Highness's words seemed to confirm the guess in her heart. Although His Highness Drake had undergone terrible changes, in his heart, he was still the kind and gentle prince he used to be.

"Then there's the second thing, which probably won't be so easy."

Laike looked at the cold, dark water in front of him.

He could vaguely see a hammerhead shark swimming far ahead into the abyss ahead, and seemed to be impacted by the dark breath of the Naglfar, and swam away with its tail frightened.

The pirate chuckled and said:

"What you will rule in the future is a dark and superstitious land. In the mountains of Drustvar, there are dark forces that you have not discovered.

Although in my opinion, some will not be on the stage, but that is also a matter of the future.

However, there are some places in the enclosed mountains that are rich in psychic oak, which is the best material for making ships in the shipyards in Stormsong Valley.

You know this, right? "

"Yes, Your Highness, I know."

Miss Meredith suddenly became interested, and she said with great interest:

"To be honest, Your Highness, my family is near Arrow Valley Town, and they run a century-old lumber mill. Although the business is not big, there are a few miraculous oak trees in the forest left by my ancestors.

Every few years, they will produce very good wood, and the master shipbuilders of the Stormsong family will come from thousands of miles to buy it.

Years ago, my father provided the Stormsong family with the lumber, and we later learned that the lumber was used on the deck of His Majesty Dai Lin's ship, the Great Sea Wang Quan.

That is the most honorable thing my family has done in the past hundred years. "

She also added quietly:

"My Arthur and I first met at my family's lumberyard, looking at each other across a piece of wood that had just been made.

In that moment, we felt it."

"Okay, I don't want to hear your true love story."

With a stiff face, Bo Laike stretched out his hand to reject the dog food spilled by Miss Meredith, and said in a deep voice:

"This is the second thing I entrust you with.

After you go back to Drustvar, I need you to use your family's connections in the lumberjack circle to find this psychic oak for me and make it into ship planks.

The more the merrier!

money is not the problem.

If it is not convenient for you to come forward, you can let the old Herb's chamber of commerce be responsible, and you will use your influence as a lady to push this matter forward. This matter must be completed before Arthur returns to Kul Tiras!

He is a very careful person, and I don't want him to find out some clues. "

"Yes, Your Highness."

Miss Meredith nodded and said:

"My father can do this. He is the oldest logging camp operator in the Drustvar area. He has many good friends in this industry."

"The last is the third thing."

Bo Laike nodded, lowered his voice and said to the lady:

"You can do this slowly, and I'm not in a hurry. Since you are Arthur's fiancé, you should have heard the legend of the Vic Reiss family.

Their ancestor, Colonel Alom Vik Reiss, led the first batch of ancestors of Kul Tiras 2,700 years ago to complete the exploration and conquest of the island kingdom.

They have fought against the dark powers of our homeland, and have mastered a magical 'power to slay demons'.

I want you to find that heritage for me. "

"Your Highness, with all due respect, this is just a legend."

Meredith responded with some embarrassment:

"Arthur was with me for the first time. Ahem, anyway, that night, we talked about these things. Arthur said that when he was young, his father also secretly searched the family's territory.

But nothing.

In fact, the Vic Reiss family has lost that heritage for nearly a millennium, and many previous heads have dismissed it as an anecdote related to their ancestors.

I'm not criticizing your thoughts, but it's really a little bit to pursue an illusory legend."

"Do not!"

Bo Laike turned around, looked at Meredith seriously, and said:

"That's not a legend, it's real power! The Ember Knights founded by Colonel Arom have magical powers, but the younger generation can't live up to it and can't keep the inheritance.

I can even tell you the exact location of the Holy Book of Ashes, but there are powerful structures that protect the inheritance.

I therefore advise you to proceed with caution.

Well, when Arthur returns to his hometown and you are officially married, you can create an opportunity to guide him to pursue the power left by his ancestors

The kind of combat techniques and secret techniques that have a strong restraint effect on dark magic.

You'll all be using it sooner or later anyway.

I just need a set of copies.

A copy that doesn't leave anything out, you'll find it for me, right? "

"I"

Meredith looked into Boo Laike's eyes, she swallowed hard, nodded, and said:

"I will try my best."

"Well, very good, you will be a wedge for me to drive into the kingdom of Kul Tiras, and you will be my eyes, taking care of all the changes in my hometown instead of me.

Whether on the bright side or in the dark. "

Boo Laike put his hand on Meredith's slender shoulder and said:

"In return, I will also help you sit on the throne of the Lady, so that you and Arthur can rule Drustvar safely, and I can even help you solve many problems that you are not aware of yet.

We help each other and benefit each other.

The interrogation between me and you will be completed through the branch of Ravenholdt Manor in Drustvar. In Klein City, there is a small assassin organization. It should be called "The Society of the Red Hands" or something.

Those little assassins didn't have the guts to disobey the demands of a master assassin who was about to gain power.

Therefore, at critical moments, they are also the strength you can rely on. "

The pirate let go of his hands and helped Meredith smooth his collar, and took out a gorgeous pearl necklace decorated with sapphires the size of pigeon eggs and fine rubies from the tortoise bag at his waist.

Putting it on Miss Meredith's swan-like white neck with her own hands.

During this process, the future lady did not dare to move, allowing Prince Drake in front of her to give her this string of priceless and rare jewels as a gift.

"You and Arthur's wedding, I guess I won't be able to go. This string comes from the ancient elf empire and probably belongs to a certain magic prince's collection of masterpieces. I will send it as my congratulatory gift."

Bo Laike admired the string of jewels in front of him. It was worn around Meredith's neck, making the lady look even more radiant.

He said:

"But it's not just a string of ordinary expensive jewels, it can save your life at critical moments. Notice the elven gold coins hanging on the jewels?

Hold it! "

The lady saw a gold coin hanging under the jewelry pendant. It was very delicate and elegant, and after being hung, it did not destroy the luxury of this rare treasure.

It also adds a more mysterious temperament to it.

So according to Laike's request, she stretched out her hand to hold the cold gold coin. At the moment when her five fingers clenched tightly, a cold air erupted in vain, seeping into every part of Miss Meredith's body.

She felt that her beautiful cheeks were sunken, and felt that her plump skin had also become dry, as if her life had left her.

The pirate maliciously took out a hand mirror and placed it in front of Meredith's eyes, allowing her to see her undead self.

A face wrinkled like a mummy.

Those horrible, exposed teeth.

The skin clings to the bones like a mummy.

That pale, disheveled hair, blue and white eyes. So ugly.

"Do not!!"

Miss Amy covered her face and screamed, and the gold coin slipped from her hand. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes again and looked at herself in the mirror, still as beautiful as ever.

It was as if it had just been a nightmare.

"What I give you is power, but also a curse.

It is protection and warning. "

Bu Laike put away the mirror and threatened the lady in front of him:

"From the moment you put it on, your life is not yours alone, Meredith. Go, go back to the world of the living, and enjoy the good life of being a great nobleman.

But always remember.

In every deep night, when you look back at the shadow behind you, you will see me. That reminds you that you made a little deal with a pirate

Remember your mission, and remember my mercy.

go.

My 'albatross'. "

——

After seeing off old Herb and Meredith, Bo Laike returned to the cabin of the Naglfar, a ghost ship that sailed through the sea in the direction of the pirate fleet.

In the dark and cold poop, Laike stopped walking.

He turned his head and looked at Knight Joan Cridan who came out of the shadows behind him, as well as his companions. They looked at their captain with indifferent eyes.

Everyone has a weapon in their hands.

"What is this for? Mutiny?"

Bu Laike yawned and asked:

"Are you really going to aim your weapons at me, at the monarch to whom you owe your allegiance both in life and in death?"

While speaking, he quietly switched the title of "Prince of Kul Tiras", looked at the knights in front of him, and said:

"Back off, I can pretend that this offense never happened!"

Kul Tiras, the knights of House Vic Reiss did not retreat.

Their chief, Cridorn, strode forward and stood a few steps from Boo Laike. He looked at the captain, and after a few seconds, he asked in a hoarse voice:

"Your Highness Derek Proudmoore, will you protect the heritage of the Vic Reiss family?"

"Of course, Arthur is my friend."

Bu Laike said casually:

"The Vic Reiss family is also a part of Kul Tiras. Of course I will protect its existence. This is my responsibility."

"boom"

Credone half-kneeled in front of Bo Laike, holding the long sword in his hands, and all the knights behind him did the same. In the cold cabin, the knight said loudly:

"Then, Vic Reiss Family Knights, I pledge my allegiance to you! The Mandate of Kul Tiras."

"Very well, I accept your allegiance."

Bu Laike reached out to pick up the sword in Cridorn's hand, tapped him twice on his left and right shoulders, and said:

"Just don't be so high-profile next time. I am just a pirate who needs to remain anonymous. Before I defeat my terrifying old father, I am not qualified to make a high-profile appearance."
