Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 202 21. The Second Albatross

"When the pretentious human sergeant brought the things over, I kept emphasizing to him that we couldn't contact you either. But he insisted that you would definitely come to pick it up.

I also left a letter for you. "

Tarma, the dwarf quartermaster, was leading the way drunk. She said to the pirates boldly:

"Fortunately, Mr. Bo Laike, you came here tonight, or tomorrow morning, I will follow the army to support the front line, and your package will probably stay here for a long time.

Come with me, and I'll hand it over to you. "

Laike nodded, bid farewell to the dwarves beside him, and picked up the drunkard murloc who had already been drunk and drunk, and followed the quartermaster to the castle warehouse.

After walking a few steps, he looked back at the carnival bonfire and asked in a casual tone:

"Why don't you see Greif Madheart? Did that good hunter go to war? He also taught me some hunting skills before."

"Greve left more than a month ago."

Talma Stormpike was still drinking beer while walking crookedly. This dwarf dwarf was no less bold than those men.

She answered Boo Laike's question by saying:

"Greve is a well-known mountain ranger and musketeer among our bronze beard dwarves, and he was seconded to Marshal Lothar's vanguard army as a scout captain before.

It is estimated that we have reached the Burning Plains by now.

With a good hunter like him around, the orcs would die. "

"Really? But I always feel that Greif is mysterious."

Bu Laike said something softly, which immediately attracted Talma's approval, and the female Stormpike quartermaster also complained with the strength of alcohol:

"It's not just you, everyone thinks that Greif is very mysterious! He often goes out hunting with his bear alone, and he goes for several days without returning with his prey.

However, some people said that in Ironforge, some people saw Greif drinking with old Hemet, so it is understandable that he got into some bad habits.

Do you know old Hemet? "

"Know."

Bu Laike slammed the head of the little murloc who was drunk and squealing in his arms, and said in admiration:

"Hemet Nesingwary, dwarf, no, one of the most powerful hunters in all of Azeroth, it is said that no beast can escape the gun of old Nesingwary.

I heard that he also has a son who also likes hunting? "

"That's right, the dwarves of the Nesingwary family were born for hunting. Before the war started, old Hemet was looking for terrifying legendary beasts throughout the eastern Great Lu Xun to satisfy his hunting desire.

But after the war began, the old dwarf turned his guns on the greenskin invaders.

He didn't escape from Khaz Modan at all, he hunted those green skins in the snow mountain like a wild beast, blowing their heads one by one!

He is a real hero. "

Talma Stormpike was rummaging through Laike's package in the warehouse Curry, which was full of various boxes, and chattered to the pirates waiting at the door:

"In the past few years, the number of greenskins who died under Old Hemet's gun must have exceeded a thousand! He alone destroyed a clan of orcs!

Seriously, Bo Laike, you League warriors who also love to hunt, you must pay old Hemet sometime.

Get me an autograph by the way!

Want three!

My parents and I are big fans of old Hemet! We've read every one of his autobiographies! "

"Oh, yes, besides being a legendary hunter, the old dwarf is also a well-known author, I almost forgot."

Bo Laike laughed.

A few minutes later, the drunken quartermaster finally found Bo Laike's package in a cabinet, blew on the ashes, and handed it to Bo Laike.

Then he lay down on the table and fell asleep.

Every dwarf is an alcoholic, and they're either drinking or on their way to it!

Regardless of gender.

Bu Laike shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand to open the package, it was an exquisite box, and after opening it, there was a red orb the size of a palm inside.

With magic running through it, it's a magic item.

The shape of the orb made Bu Laike's eyes shine. He took the thing in his hand and glanced at the new entry in the equipment column of the character card:

orb of deceit

Excellent quality

Comes with magic:

Deceitful Face: Unleash a special camouflage technique on yourself, changing your appearance. During the duration of the magic, it can be canceled actively. When suffering from a powerful magic attack, the camouflage technique has a certain chance to fail.

The camouflage effect lasts for one day, and the cooling time is three days.

This thing doesn't have any attribute entry, just like the previous tidal charm, it only has a hardening magic on it, but it makes Bo Laike's heart ecstatic.

He stroked the magic orb with magic power flowing inside.

I thought of:

"This Oridon is unexpectedly reliable. He is indeed a branch of the royal family. Everything he finds is useful, and his family is very rich. I thought I would have nothing to do with him in the future.

Tsk tsk, now it seems that it is a rare commodity to live in. "

After the pirate assassinated Juggernaut Old Dahl, he helped his "friend" Auriden Perenold with a "private job" while staying in Steinbrad City.

The reward was negotiated before the action, and that somewhat cowardly and cunning human aristocrat had no guts to covet the reward of a shadow walker.

However, that guy is indeed a careerist.

Although he is still a little immature now, and his strength is not much, his ambition has already swelled. Along with the Orb of Deceit came a short letter.

In the letter, O'Riden entrusted Laike with a private job.

"Are you going to hire me to assassinate the collateral nobles of the Alterac kingdom? Is this an attempt to seize the throne of the king? It's really a simple and crude strategy.

After killing all the other successors, he will be able to successfully ascend to the throne as a side branch. "

After Bo Laike read the letter, he grinned and planned to tear up the letter.

He is no longer interested in this private matter.

What are you kidding?

Now Laike has a small-scale pirate fleet under his command. He wants to start his own business on the sea, and he has no time to play this kind of political assassination game with an ambitious person.

However, before tearing up the letter paper, the pirate suddenly rolled his eyes.

He just doesn't have time for this.

But he has someone beside him who is capable of doing it for him.

"My butler, are you there?"

Bu Laike called.

Soon, Moros appeared from the shadows around him. The undead butler rubbed his head and said:

"These dwarves are so rowdy."

"I really like their straight temper. It's easy to make friends with dwarves, and you rarely need to worry about being stabbed in the back by them. They rarely have such complicated thoughts in their muscular minds."

The pirate laughed, handed the letter in his hand to Moros, and said:

"Look at this. Do you know anything about the royal blood lineage of the Kingdom of Alterac?"

"There are some."

Moros took the letter, looked at it, and said:

"As a steward of a high-ranking person, it is a basic skill to know the important families of various countries and their members. When the master of Medivh was young, he had exchanges with the great nobles of the seven human kingdoms at the level of etiquette. .

But Alterac Kingdom is an exception.

Although they enjoy the title of king, the royal family still can't get rid of the habits of merchants, so they are rarely invited to banquets by Master Medivh.

However, the great nobles of the Alterac Kingdom, the Barov family, were also an exception. That family is the Chuangu family, and their current head, the old Count Barov, was also invited to Karazhan to attend the banquet.

But Master Medivh didn't think highly of him.

I remember that he once commented that the old Earl Barov's fear of death had crossed the moral bottom line and would eventually make him do terrible things in the future. "

"Well, this evaluation is so accurate."

Bu Laike nodded approvingly. He waited for Moros to finish reading the letter, and then said to him:

"Oridan Perenolde is a young man who is very ambitious and has certain abilities, but there are cowardly and hypocritical factors in his personality, so it is difficult for him to achieve great things.

However, if he is given some support, he can also become a partner of the Undead Fleet in the chaotic Alterac Kingdom in the future.

He can become the second 'albatross' in my hands.

So, I decided to send you to help him. "

The pirate took out the weak Skull of Gul'dan from his bag, played with it in his hands, and said to Moroes:

"King Aiden of the Kingdom of Alterac, because he foolishly surrendered to the Horde at the wrong time, almost caused the city of Lordaeron to fall, leaving the Alliance in a state of ruin.

He's now a sinner for the alliance, and everyone hates a traitor!

At present, Marshal Lothar is commanding the army on the front line to chase down the remnants of the tribe.

And Terenas II is coordinating the military affairs of the entire alliance in the rear. In the near future, with the great victory of repelling the tribe, it is inevitable that the prestige of the Kingdom of Lordaeron among humans will reach its peak.

Terenas II, who is quite powerful now, must have imprisoned the "traitor" Aiden in the palace of Alterac, and will only wait for a big victory before launching a liquidation against Aiden.

That family will likely be disinherited, so you can help Oriden weed out his rivals and form his small faction.

But be careful not to get too involved in the succession of the soon-to-be chaotic kingdom.

In that country, there are some pre-existing shadows entrenched, which are quite terrifying forces, and contact with them should be carefully avoided.

For a month, no matter what the outcome, you must join me at Tol Barad. "

The undead steward nodded.

He waved the letter in his hand and said:

"Does this kind of help start with the assassination?"

"No, this assassination is just your 'resume' for joining Ravenholdt's Assassin Club, Mr. Moros. They are very strict in selecting people."

Bu Laike held the head of Gul'dan in his hands and said to Moros:

"I believe that my housekeeper will not let me down, but in order to make it easier for you to complete these 'jobs' that you were not good at before, I will give you some help.

Come on, hold it. "

The Undead Steward glanced at Gul'dan's skull, without much hesitation, reached out and took off his glove, revealing his weathered hand, and placed it on the skull.

As Bu Laike stimulated the residual shadow magic power left in the skull, he entangled those powers on Moros' undead body.

Giving Moroes the same power as the way he acquired the "Shadow Affinity" talent.

"It will make you walk in the shadows more quietly, and it will make it easier for you to feel the tolerance and caress of the shadows. You need to perceive the rhythm of the shadows, and learn to be in it, not against it.

That is the basis for becoming a high-level assassin. "

The pirate imparted all his experience. After the shadow magic power was absorbed by Moros, he took out another elven gold coin, put it in the butler's hand, and said:

"You are already an undead body, so naturally you are not afraid of death. But this gold coin can bring you some 'good luck', or bad luck, just don't rely too much on it.

Sorry to make you do this dark work for me, my steward.

But I am different from Medivh after all, I am not as talented as him, every victory and every ounce of my strength must be carefully obtained.

My current group of incompetent subordinates has strength, but they lack wisdom.

It is very difficult for them to move freely in the present Eastern Continent. "

Bu Laike said softly:

"If you feel that such a job is detached from the duties of a housekeeper, Mr. Moros, you can choose to refuse."

"No, sir."

Moros put the elven gold coin into his close pocket.

He gracefully put the gloves back on his hands, straightened his tuxedo again, and replied:

"A qualified butler will never refuse the work assigned by the master, the disappointment in the eyes of the master is the greatest shame in a butler's life.

I have served Master Medivh for nearly fifty years, and I have never disappointed him.

I will not let you down, Mr. Drake, this is my obsession as a butler.

No matter the moment, you can trust your butler.

The job may be hard, but it's challenging.

It would be a good starting point for my second life as a housekeeper, as I did during the difficult time when I came to the side of the eccentric Master Medivh. "

"I'm going to perform my job, and I may not be by your side for a while, please take care of yourself."

Moros took a step back and quietly disappeared in the shadows. He said softly:

"Now, please allow me to retire, sir."
