Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 205 24. Make a Wish, Please Close Your Eyes

Ten minutes later, the "Nanhai Town Fishing Contest" ended.

Nat, as expected, lost.

Boo Laike caught four fish, he only caught two, and Boo Laike still caught the fish with no bait hook, which was much better than his homemade dense bait.

"Am I really going to your ship?"

Nat didn't try to deny it, he just said with hesitation and lack of confidence:

"But I don't know anything except fishing and dreaming. I'd rather go on a boat, broaden my horizons, travel around the world, and visit Kalimdor by the way.

See if the scenery there is the same as in my dream.

But I'm afraid I won't fit in your boat. "

"Don't be afraid, the crew on my ship are good people, and they're all friendly. Take this, and you'll set out to Tol Barad sometime, you know that place, don't you?"

Bo Laike popped out an Elven gold coin, put it in Nat's hand, and he said to the fisherman:

"Show this to the people over there, and they will know that I let you go, and they will definitely entertain you in the most friendly way. Uh, if you feel a little scared by yourself."

The pirate patted Nat on the shoulder and said:

"You can take your friend Hal with you, and you just need to convince him. The ones in my side are treated well, and they are paid every month. They have a better future than staying in this small town.

If Hal doesn't want to go, you tell him so."

Bo Laike said something in Nat's ear, and Nat said suspiciously:

"Is this really good? I remember those people said that the elves wouldn't"

"Hush!"

The pirate made a silent gesture and said:

"I am not as good as you at fishing, but you are not as good as I at understanding the thoughts of young people. Don't worry, Hal will definitely go with you. As for the customs of the elves, don't worry about it.

They will obey, trust me. "

"Well, it was a pleasure chatting with you today, Nat, and I'll see you on board."

While speaking, Braike waved towards the water, and the little murloc rushed out of the water with a croak, covered in water stains, and jumped into Braike's arms, with big eyes wide open, waving at Nat fist.

"You cheated!"

The fisherman finally realized that he did not lose technically.

But Laike won't give him a chance to back out.

The pirate blinked and said:

"It's just about the game, and you didn't say you can't cheat, right? Nat, Nat, you're still too young. Look at how funny I am. Believe me, you will definitely have a good time on my boat.

I'm leaving for Dalaran.

Please tell Mayor Marebu for me that the town is very clean and there are no loopholes in defense. I will speak a few good words to the high-level military on his behalf. "

After finishing speaking, Bo Laike put the little murloc on his shoulders and walked towards the military griffin fence at the pier. After the Wildhammer dwarves joined the alliance, these brave and swift flying mounts finally became popular.

Carrying two fishing rods on his back, Nat watched Bo Laike leave surrounded by several officers enthusiastically, and he also saw those low-ranking officers asking for autographs from Bo Laike.

And on the pirate's shoulder, the little murloc kept making funny faces at Nat, probably annoyed that he had worked very hard, but still couldn't stop the two fish from biting Nat's hook.

The fisherman glanced at the elf gold coin in his hand.

This thing is exquisite.

And when it touches the skin, there will be a slight coolness, as if it goes straight to the soul, and it looks like a very expensive treasure at first glance, but Mr. Laike handed it to him casually.

"It must be a big man."

Nat put away the gold coins with a headache.

As he said, he is actually quite satisfied with his current life, but since he promised to work on the ship, he should not renege on his debt.

Fortunately, I have my good friend Hal to accompany me.

Thinking of this, Nat suddenly felt relieved, and when he thought that he had the opportunity to go to those places in his dream, his mood suddenly improved.

He quickly came to Hal's house, and shouted to Hal, who was packing his luggage and seemed to be planning to join the army:

"Hal, I found you a good job! There is a rich captain who invites the two of us to work on the ship, and we are paid every month.

No longer will you be despised by the girl you love because you can't afford a farm. "

"Captain? Go to sea? I won't go."

Hal, now that his anger had passed, looked back at Nat, and said:

"I'm going to join the army, you know."

"But the captain told me that he knew some single, hot and open elf girls!"

Nat repeated to Hal what Boo Laike had taught him:

"He said he could introduce you. The captain looked like a decent person. He chatted with me for a long time. I don't think he would lie."

"Elf?"

Hal raised his head abruptly, and said with bright eyes:

"The one with the pointed ears, the one with a good figure? Is it as beautiful as the high elves we saw in Tarren Mill?"

"Uh, I don't know."

Nat scratched his hair and said:

"But since they are elves, they should all have pointed ears, right? And the captain said his ship is still in Tol Barad."

"Then go!"

Hal grabbed the packed clothes on the bed, excitedly took Nat's arm, and rushed to the pier.

As he walked, he said:

"Tol Barad, I know how to get there. From Palatine Bay all the way to the west, just follow the ocean current. It will only take three days. We can set off with some dry food and water."

"But aren't you going to join the army? Hal, I"

"Shut up, Nat! No matter how good Marshal Lothar's army is, they won't give me a wife. It's all because of your weird dreams, which made me want to find an elf wife since I was a child.

It's all your fault, Nat.

You have to take responsibility! Let's go, stop talking, let's find a wife and go to sea! "

——

What should the capital of magic look like?

Are there traces of magic everywhere, mage towers all over the place, and mages walking all over the streets?

Or should it be majestic and mighty, like the city of Lordaeron?

The answer is, neither.

When Bu Laike landed on the steeple flying platform on the edge of Dalaran city in the afternoon sun, what came into view was a rather desolate city.

There are very mysterious violet domes and white towers of different heights.

And the planned very charming wide streets.

But it's not lively at all.

It is very different from the overcrowded grand occasion in Dalaran in Laike's memory.

He used the Orb of Deceit on the way, which transformed into a suitcase-carrying, slightly potbellied Gilnean trader with a top hat and a walking stick in his hand.

The little murloc couldn't pretend.

It will be lying in the lining pocket of the cloth Laike coat, with big eyes, curiously looking at the city with many slender and tall mage towers.

Bu Laike is like a tourist, wandering around in the quiet city of Dalaran.

The city is of course much bigger than in the game.

According to Bu Laike's estimate, it would take several hours to walk around on foot, and there are many places where non-legal professionals are prohibited from entering.

There are also battle mages wearing violet battle robes and holding staffs patrolling the streets.

Outside the city gate, there are many farmers hired from the surrounding area as workers, repairing the city wall damaged by the red dragon of the orcs during the war, and the place looks noisy.

It is in stark contrast to the bleakness elsewhere.

However, the buildings here are really interesting.

The large and small towers in the city, including the places where civilians live, are mostly purple bud-shaped spires, and there are also circular domes.

There is also the magical pattern of violet patterns winding back and forth, which can be seen everywhere in Dalaran.

This thing is not only the official emblem of Dalaran City, but also the magic flow embellishment that human mages often use when casting spells.

It has to be said that the mages chose this beautiful and mysterious pattern as their symbol, which is really a stroke of genius. At a glance, ordinary people can perceive the "mystery and power" of magic.

But that thing can also deceive people who don't know how to do it.

Laike is considered a spellcaster now, and the inner meaning of those lines can't fool him. After half an hour of sightseeing, the pirates lost interest in this magic city full of secrets.

too big.

He couldn't ride out the hell horse in a fair and honest manner.

Moreover, many places in the city have opened the mage tower for investigation, and they cannot enter stealth at will. The battle mages patrolling the streets also make the pirates feel very insecure.

He followed the direction he remembered to the Magic Commercial Street, intending to buy some materials.

There are shops selling all kinds of spell-casting materials everywhere on this street. It is built on the outskirts of Dalaran City. It is a V-shaped street, and the shape of the shops is different from those exaggerated and gorgeous mage towers.

Most of the shops here have flat roofs, and some of the more famous shops are also decorated with purple bud-shaped spires, which represent that they are doing business related to mysterious arcane magic.

The pirate held a list in his hand.

After going around in several magic shops, he finally bought all these rare materials, which cost him a lot of money.

But these materials are very important.

Especially in what the pirate was going to do next, without these things, he couldn't do a big thing he had been planning.

After walking around like this, the time has come to the evening.

Bu Laike relieved his shoulders, looked left and right, reached out and took out a letter from his pocket, and put it into the magic mailbox on the street.

It was to remind Meri Dongfeng that he had come, so that the old mage was ready for reception.

"Tsk tsk, magic fountain!"

Bu Laike walked forward for a while, came to the central square of Dalaran, and then saw the legendary Wishing Fountain on the edge of the square.

This is a very magical place, and one of the mysterious legends of Dalaran.

It is said that this fountain has magical powers. Write your wish on a coin, then throw it in, and pray to the arcane magic sincerely, and your wish will come true.

This rumor spread in the human kingdom is miraculous.

Even country farmers know this.

Bu Laike walked over to take a look, and found that under this small lion's mouth fountain, at the bottom of the clear pool, there was a whole layer of coins of various colors piled up.

From the lowest copper coins, to shiny gold coins, to rare elven coins, it's all there.

It seems that there are many people who make wishes, but there are probably very few people who can make their wishes come true.

"It's all here, right?"

Bu Laike looked left and right, took out a copper coin from his pocket, thought for a while, changed it into a silver coin, and was about to engrave it.

Gritting his teeth again, he exchanged for gold coins.

Then he picked up the knife and carved a line of words in a swish, and when he was about to throw it in, he turned the gold coin over and carved another line of words on the back.

Only then did he put his palms together in satisfaction, closed his eyes and prayed a few words, and threw it away.

"Pala"

The gold coin entered the water and splashed a small splash. Watching the splash rippling, the pirate's mood improved, but then he shook his head.

No way to fountain Alas, this is too childish.

I am a vicious pirate!

How can you believe this?

"If you don't dare to fulfill my wish, next time you come here, I will tear you down!"

Bu Laike spoke viciously to the small fountain, and stretched his body again, but as soon as he started, he heard a noise from the street behind him.

He looked back and found that there was a disturbance at the entrance of a tavern. Several drunken young mages rolled up their sleeves to fight, and they didn't know what they were arguing about.

But the pirates keenly saw something discordant.

Outside the crowd, a few sneaky guys were dragging a girl who was unconscious from drinking into a dark alley.

"No way! Is it so effective?"

The pirate's eyes widened for a moment, then he looked back at the small fountain that was still quiet.

He said:

"But are you granting Drake's wish? Or Laike's wish? Hey, there's a big difference between the two, don't play dead, you bastard!"
