Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1801 27. Maiev's first wish [ask for monthly ticket 33]

Later in the day when it was nearly midnight, the news of victory from the front line of the Great Temple spread throughout Suramar City, making the citizens who had been terrified all day feel a little relieved.

While the demons were attacking the front line, those winged flying demons also crossed over to attack Suramar City. Fortunately, they were few in number and Suramar had prepared in advance.

The good news is that as soon as those demons emerged, they were shot down from the sky by the rangers of the city defense army in the city.

The bad news is that the city rangers didn't have a correct understanding of the vitality of the demons, which caused those demons to fall into the city and destroy some houses and kill some unlucky elves.

This incident made the entire Suramar panic. Fortunately, the nobles who temporarily managed the city had some skills. They ordered the mages to send unique and powerful arcane golems to patrol to calm people's hearts.

Although most of the puppets have been transferred to the front line, when these five or six-meter-high arcane and metal giants are left on patrol, they can still bring a lot of illusory sense of security to the civilians.

But to those who know how to do it, the victory on the front line is not worth mentioning at all.

"The Monkey King sent me news that Lord Ravencrest's army was just a vanguard that defeated the demons, and the other demons withdrew from the battlefield voluntarily.

They didn't even make contact with the elves, probably because they realized that the elves' beheading tactics were useful, so they were preparing countermeasures. "

In the Temple of the Moon God in Suramar, Emperor Shaohao, who lived here temporarily in the name of "recuperation", said worriedly to Bu Laike who was sitting by the window of his room:

"Lord Ravencrest is a very good commander who is good at listening to suggestions. He decisively adopted Illidan's suggestion and implemented hunting tactics. The death of the demon commander caused the demon vanguard to fall into chaos, which brought victory.

But the battle that lasted less than an hour caused heavy damage to the frontline warriors.

According to the Monkey King, almost all the soldiers who retreated from the battlefield were injured, many people died in the front line, and at least one-fifth of the elite who followed Ravencrest's charge were lost.

I hate to say this, but the victories they've had are paltry. "

The Pandaren Emperor had seen with his own eyes how many demons there were on the Xin Aisa Li Plain, and he knew that killing a vanguard of demons was nothing at all, which was nothing to demons.

What's more, the portal on the side of the Well of Eternity is still sending out more demons in a steady stream, and Suramar's side is not killing them faster than other people's side.

"It was just a 'hello'."

Bu Laike played with the flagon in his hand and said to the Pandaren:

"The victory of the war is not at all on the frontal battlefield. Even the upgraded Plus version of the anti-magic coalition formed by me ten thousand years later will not be able to fight against the Burning Legion on the frontal battlefield.

It is obviously unnecessary to play crowd tactics with demons. I believe that a commander of Ravencrest's level must have understood this truth after today's battle.

You don't have to worry about that either.

I have used my way to give them the 'secret to victory' without affecting the direction of fate. "

The Scrap Pirate squeezed his eyes and said in a drawn out voice:

"When the time is right, they will know how to win before the demon's crushing offensive. Especially when fighting these fel barbarians, they must use their brains. Those fools who can't use their brains have long since died."

"Why are you so calm!"

Shaohao sighed, and said to Bu Laike angrily:

"What we're talking about is a war, a war that will kill a lot of people! Are you really indifferent to the loss of life? Didn't you say that part of yourself is a good god that belongs to the realm of life?"

"I respect life, so I didn't join in and bring more variables, didn't I?"

The pirate rolled his eyes, and said to Shaohao, who was anxious to get angry:

"But you see, my friends, what you see as what is happening is to me the established fact of the 'past', and those who have died, who are dying and who are about to die, are already in my eyes dead.

Just like when I listen to a story, my heart will be filled with emotions because of the ups and downs of the story, but I will not be so stupid as to ask the storyteller to change the context of the story for the happy ending in my heart.

I can't do that. "

Bu Laike shook his head, pointed to the sky, and said mysteriously:

"Life and death are counted. Once I trigger a large-scale change in life and death, then my trip through time and space will be in vain. You have your troubles, and I have mine.

So, don't stress me out any more, okay? "

"I do not understand."

Shaohao frowned and said:

"But I can sense you're not lying to me, and I'll summarize what you're saying, there's an invisible 'thread' to your actions here, right?

There are no taboos when the line is not crossed, but once the line is crossed, everything is closed? "

"It's easy to talk to smart people."

The pirate jumped down from the window, stretched his neck admiringly, and said:

"The story of this era 10,000 years ago is destined to have a good ending, but the ending after 10,000 years is still unknown. I can make the ending of this era better according to your ideas.

I can go to Zin-Azshara alone now, and kill Azshara, the source of all evil, with a perfect assassination.

It's easy.

But the price of doing so is that the world after 10,000 years will go from the balance I managed to maintain to the doomsday. Now, if you were me, how would you choose?

Do you still want me to intervene and save more people? "

"Farewell, you should stay in Suramar and fall in love with Miss Maiev."

Shaohao curled his lips, and the pandaren emperor rolled his eyes and took the wine from Bu Laike, then raised his dragon staff and said to the pirates:

"I'm off to the front right now, and I'm not at ease here. But I have to double check, you can't meddle, but I can, right?"

"Well, you can move freely."

The pirate nodded and said:

"But we can't leave too obvious traces of history, it's better to keep a low profile.

The demons stopped marching now not out of kindness, they realized that the elves had discovered the weakness of their command system, and they should be waiting for the arrival of a more advanced demon commander.

I mean, if those guys show up, don't be reckless.

I've made all the arrangements, and when it's time to act, you'll have to fight, but if the Pandaren Emperor dies in the world of elves, then Pandaria is doomed.

This is your action constraint, always put your life first. "

"understood."

Shaohao nodded, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and rushed out of the window of the Moon God Temple with the swiftness of a monk.

Bu Laike watched him leave, shook his head again, and disappeared into the room in a flash. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the Moon Chamber of the Temple of the Moon God.

He walked in the floating candlelight. In the quiet hall in front of him, there was only a familiar figure praying under the altar of the Luna sculpture.

"You are really on time."

The pirate said something softly. He stepped forward, half-kneeled beside Miss Maiev, closed his eyes as if praying, and said softly:

"Have you recovered?"

"I'm not hurt."

Maiev said something in a low voice, then the trainee priest pursed his lips, and said:

"About the strength you left me, when I closed my eyes during the lunch break, I could feel you guiding my shooting and fighting skills, it was like a dream.

But after I woke up, I really felt that my combat skills had been greatly improved, as if I had really participated in a battle.

Mr. Bu Laike, are you trying to train me? "

"You can think so."

Bu Laike's shadow stretched and twisted on the ground in the candlelight jumping in the moon chamber, the abyss spread in the darkness, and soon covered the walls and windows around the chamber, isolating all the outside world. probing.

Like a sincere believer, he said to Miss Maiev:

"You are destined for great and heavy responsibilities, and like so many warriors of this age, you will soon be on your own path.

But there is not much time left for you, so I used a little 'acceleration' method.

Does this bother you? Maiev. "

"No, no, I am not against it, especially after seeing the ferocity and terror of the demons with my own eyes, I know that I must have more power to protect Lady Elune's people."

Maiev shook her head.

The young white-haired elf was silent for a moment, and then said:

"Sorry, Mr. Bu Laike, without your permission, I told Priestess Dejana your name, and I told them that they can pray to the 'Shadow of the Moon' in critical times.

Is this causing you trouble? "

"No, that's exactly what I want you to do."

The pirate shook his head and said:

"This is what Ms. Elune wants to see. His Majesty the Moon God is a benevolent deity. She is troubled by the fact that there are too few followers to help her in this era.

My appearance can make up for her regret, and the changes in the realm of the gods will not be noticed by those who are interested. The shadow of the moon is the power of Elune, and I just brought its true mystery into this world 10,000 years in advance.

But, Maiev, you have to be ready. "

"Ok?"

Maiev turned her head to look at Mr. Bo Laike, who was mysterious and powerful, who was especially kind to her, and who was so gentle that she was a little scared. She whispered:

"what to prepare?"

"God's choice."

Bu Laike opened his eyes with a smile, and the dim moonlight was reflected in those blue pupils rolling like the sea.

He said softly:

"You will be the God's Choice of the Shadow Moon, just like your companion Tyrande Windspeaker will be the God's Choice of the Bright Moon. This is what Ms. Elune entrusted, and I will replace him in this important events of the era.

You have to understand that when Azshara ruthlessly abandoned the night elves, these people of the moon god needed a new leader.

The elves are more fortunate than other races in that other civilizations can only hope to have one leader, but you can have two at the same time. "

"this"

Maiev's eyes widened. She tried to defend herself, but Bo Laike cut her off with a hand.

He said:

"This is the will of the Moon God, and it is also the choice of fate.

I know you're not a showman, and Tyrande is a better leader than you, but you can protect your people from the shadows. "

"I'm not refusing, it's just that it's too sudden."

Young Maiev whispered:

"It's too much of an exaggeration to be chosen by the gods. There are obviously so many priests who are better than me, and I'm not even an official priest. Why did the Moon God like me?"

"You're beautiful, aren't you?"

The pirate grinned and said:

"Tyrande is also a beauty like no other in a million. You two should be regarded as the two most outstanding-looking priests of the moon in this era."

"how can that be!"

The sudden change of Maiev's expression was very exciting, she opened her mouth wide in astonishment, showing unbelievable doubts, she said fiercely:

"How could this be the reason! How could Ms. Elune be so superficial and only rely on appearance to choose the Chosen One? I don't believe it, it's too much"

"Uh, the truth may not be as complicated as you think, my young Maiev."

Bu Laike shrugged, glanced at the majestic statue of Luna, pointed to his face, and whispered:

"Do you think I'm handsome? Is this face handsome enough?"

"Uh"

The sudden question made young Maiev blush.

He said in his heart that Mr. Laike was so powerful but so dishonest, how could he ask such a blunt question to an elf lady.

But considering that this problem might be related to the will of the moon god, Maiev tried her best to calm herself down.

She studied Lord Bu Laike's face carefully in the floating light of the Moon Chamber.

The face shape is quite soft, without the lines of the melon-shaped face of an elf, but it has a very strange chic and lazy look of a prodigal son, especially those brilliant eyes, the gentleness like the sea and the mystery of the moonlight perfectly blend together, just like It is a whirlpool that attracts the girls' attention.

But there always seemed to be an indelible sadness in the depths of those eyes, and every time I looked into those eyes, a heart-shaking feeling would emerge in Maiev's heart.

It made her seem to sink into it, unable to extricate herself.

Maiev hurriedly moved his eyes away, and continued to observe other parts of Laike's face. His long golden hair was scattered on his shoulders, and he also had a beard that was well repaired and brought a sense of stability.

The lips that are always smiling are the perfect combination with this face.

Generally speaking, this is definitely not a cheek that would make people feel pressured or disgusted, but if it is really to be compared with the handsome guy in the elves, this face is not as good as it is to be honest.

Miss Maiev felt her heart pounding, and that strange feeling that rose every time she was near Mr. Bo Laike made her face burn.

She hastily lowered her head, silently chanting Ms. Elune's name in her heart to calm herself down. Under the expectant gaze of the pirates, the young lady apprentice priest made a weak voice like a mosquito, and said:

"Well, it's pretty handsome, but I've never been very good at this, so you can just say the conclusion."

"Alright alright."

The pirate got the answer he wanted and was very satisfied.

Probably because of his happy mood, the abyss in his shadow calmed down little by little. The moment it faded away, the bright moonlight shone in from the window, covering Braike and Maiev, like It flowed like a gentle silver star yarn.

In this quiet and beautiful moonlight, Bu Laike said softly:

"Our Moon God, everything is good, but the pursuit of 'beauty' has become a god's obsession, she will not choose an ugly guy to be her God's Choice.

A life with a perfect appearance like you, me, and Tyrande fits her vision. Of course, this is only the first step.

For the gods, the beauty of the heart is as important as the beauty of the appearance. "

Having said this, the pirate paused, and said in a low voice:

"Maiev Shadowsong, you are a person who knows how to love and how to respond to love. You have a heart as beautiful as your appearance. This is probably why Ms. Elune chose you."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Maiev's heartbeat almost jumped out of his chest.

She felt that the atmosphere in the Moon Chamber was getting more and more ambiguous, and what was even more terrible was that she, who had always been ascetic, did not resist this ambiguous relationship with Mr. Laike.

She felt that she couldn't go on like this anymore, so she changed the subject and said:

"You said last time that I can make a wish to you, right?"

"Well, I did say so."

Bu Laike nodded and said:

"Every time I listen to a story, I can make a wish, but I feel that I am at a disadvantage, so I decided to add another restriction. Every time you have to do one thing for me, I can fulfill your wish.

Rest assured, you will not violate the teachings of the Moon God, so, have you decided to make a wish? "

"Ok."

Maiev nodded, and she said sincerely:

"I am ready to listen to your second story. I hope that the innocent souls of the empire can survive this disaster."

"Wow, what a terrible wish."

The pirate pouted, stood up, stretched out his hand to Miss Maiev in the moonlight, and said:

"But I can promise you that I will assist those elves who survived this battle of the ancients safely. In exchange, you will accompany me tonight"

"??!"

"Shopping with me"

Bu Laike deliberately made a joke.

He admired Maiev who was panicked like a deer bumping in front of him, and said:

"Suramar is beautiful at night, isn't it? A lot happened when I was last here, and that's the story I want you to tell tonight.

A story about the pirates Bu Laike and Suramar. "
