Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 208 27. You're so handsome on stage, Mr. Catman

"Ok."

Under the warm street lamp, cloth Laike wearing camouflage magic nodded.

Answer out loud with simple words.

The orb of deceit can disguise the appearance, but it is very poor in disguising the sound. It would be a mistake to say too much. He directly reached out to the vigilant Jaina and sent something.

In his chubby palm lay the silver anchor-shaped pendant. It was slightly melted by the dragon fire, but its original shape could still be seen.

The slender chains are intertwined, reflecting a slightly cool-toned light under the magic street lamp.

The moment she saw this thing, all the vigilance and apprehension in little Jaina's eyes completely disappeared, replaced by an unconcealable surprise.

She immediately reached out to hold the silver pendant in her hand, and checked it repeatedly with the unique meticulousness of a mage.

She recognized this thing.

This was a gift from her father when her big brother Drake Proudmoore was born. Every child in the Proudmoore family has a similar pendant.

Gianna has one herself.

It is worn around her neck and never leaves her body.

Outsiders don't know this tradition of the Proudmoore family at all, and they can't imitate an identical pendant at all. The fact that the fat businessman in front of him can take out this thing proves that he has indeed seen his big brother.

This also proves another thing!

According to outsiders' legends, his big brother who had died in battle in the waters of Khaz Modan and sank with the third fleet was really still alive!

He's somewhere in the world right now!

"I'm big brother him."

Little Jaina's heart was filled with surprise and warmth.

She held the pendant with both hands and placed it on her chest. When she raised her head, her big eyes were filled with tears. She seemed to want to question the person in front of her:

Since my big brother is alive, why didn't he come to see her?

Why hide the news from the family again? Doesn't he know how uncomfortable and painful this will make his family members?

My father has become like that because of the pain!

Why doesn't big brother appear all the time?

But before she could ask a question, she saw the fat businessman in front of her, smiling, narrowing her eyes, putting her finger to her mouth, and making a silent gesture to her.

Bo Laike purposely hoarse his voice, imitating Hablon's decadent voice, and said softly to Jaina Proudmoore in front of him:

"Prince Drake is doing great things, little princess. He has embarked on a path undisturbed by fate, and it will be difficult to return to the world of us mortals until he achieves greatness.

As for me, I'm just a humble messenger.

Nor can I tell you much about his fate.

But he told me that one day, after he has finished his work, he will come back to you, he will come back to his loved ones.

It's just that now, what he can give you is something that represents his life.

He hopes that you can comfort your heart with this, so that you can inherit his will.

Please also understand his difficulties. "

"Thank you, Messenger, but I want to see him."

The little princess's doll-like face showed a hint of gratitude and loss. She pursed her lips and said softly:

"He keeps appearing in my dreams, and every time I want to talk to him, he disappears into the sea with a smile on his face. I asked my mentor, and that seems to represent a kind of misfortune.

I want to meet him, I just want to tell him that no matter what kind of bad luck he has, he can come home and get through it with us.

No matter what he becomes, I don't want to give up on him.

Can you help me bring this quote to my big brother?

Just say that his sister is waiting for him in Dalaran, and I will work hard to learn magic, until one day I am strong enough, I will take the initiative to meet him.

I believe he is doing great things, my big brother is His Highness the Prince of Kul Tiras, he will do great things, he will achieve great things.

And I, I will help my big brother, help him defeat all the bad guys who stop him from coming home!

Tell him not to worry about me. "

Jaina wiped away her tears and tried her best to smile at Bu Laike. It was obvious that she didn't want to worry the Messenger in front of her, so she turned her face away and adjusted her expression.

He went back and said:

"Please tell my big brother that I am fine, I am waiting for him to send me a letter, if it is really impossible to come back and meet, you can always write a letter, right?

If he's really busy, he doesn't have to reply.

I write to him as long as he can get it. "

"He will reply, sensible little girl."

Bu Laike stood up, and under the light of the street lamp, he said softly to the little princess in front of him:

"I will also bring your words to your big brother, I promise, he will hear the original. But I also have a request, please help him hide the news about your big brother for the time being.

Your Royal Highness, you are a promising mage. You know that there are many mysterious forces in this world. Your big brother is now fighting some of them.

He didn't want this danger to extend to his relatives because of him.

This is what he asked me to tell me.

He said, this is a secret that only belongs to the two of you. Then, I want to ask you, His Highness Derek Proudmoore, can you be trusted? Lady Jaina Proudmoore. "

"Can't you even tell your father?"

Jaina hesitated.

She made a "little bit" gesture to Laike in front of her and said:

"Father is in pain. Although he has been hiding his pain in front of me, I can feel it. Can you reveal a little bit, just a little bit."

"cannot!"

Bu Laike shook his head and said:

"If you can't keep the secret, Jaina, then I have to take this pendant back. Your big brother is trying to protect you, and you have to understand his difficulty.

Be good, will you? "

"okay then."

Little Jaina immediately clenched the pendant in her hand, as if holding the most precious treasure, she nodded, and said to Bu Laike very seriously:

"I swear on the name of Jaina Proudmoore that I will not break this news to anyone until the big brother is finished.

But if I had to write to him, to whom should I send it? "

"Bu Laike Shaw."

Bu Laike pretended to be serious, picked up his cane, leaned on it in his hand, and said to little Jaina:

"A soon-to-be famous assassin, a soon-to-be-traveled pirate, he, like me, is a credible follower of your big brother.

You can send the letter to him through Ravenholdt's channel. Just like the process I gave you this note, I believe this will not trouble the daughter of the sea.

Be sure to keep confidentiality and communicate in code words when necessary.

If you need anything, if you need something urgently, or if you feel that you are in danger and need help, you can reach out to him.

When your big brother doesn't come forward, he can help you fulfill your request, but don't contact too frequently, he also has his own things to do.

All right, little princess.

You've been away from the mage tower for too long, and that raises suspicions.

Let's go back.

Hide your joy in the bottom of your heart, pretend nothing happened, from today onwards, you are also your big brother's little guard. "

"Well, goodbye, sir."

Little Jaina immediately looked around vigilantly, as if she was really a secret defender, she bowed her head to Boo Laike politely and said goodbye, then leaned on her staff and walked away quickly.

But just a few steps away, Bu Laike stopped her again:

"Wait, there is one more thing, your big brother found a good mentor for you.

He doesn't think that Antonidas can complete your magic teaching and life education, don't worry, I just told you the news in advance.

You don't have to do anything, he has already arranged everything for you, you just need to follow your big brother's arrangement, that's all. "

"but"

Jaina turned her head suddenly, she tilted her head, and said to Bo Laike:

"But I think the mentor treats me very well, and he is also very powerful, he."

"No, Antonidas isn't great, especially when compared to your new mentor."

Bu Laike waved his hands disapprovingly, made a gesture of farewell, and said:

"Please trust your big brother, little Jaina, obey his arrangement, he will not harm you. Be obedient, don't disobey your big brother's request, he will reward you."

"That's fine."

The little princess pursed her lips, she thought of Bu Laike and waved her hand, wrapped her hood again, leaned on the ice staff taller than her, and walked quickly to the mage tower.

When she entered the mage tower, she looked back, and under the magic street lamp across the street, the fat gentleman was no longer there.

"Followers of big brother, how mysterious."

Thinking so, the little princess stepped into the mage's tower.

A smile she hadn't seen for a long time finally appeared on her face, and she hummed a song in a relaxed mood, but soon she remembered Bu Laike's advice, and hurriedly put on a straight face.

She looked around again and found that no one noticed, she quickly returned to her room, looked at the silver pendant in her hand, and smiled foolishly.

Then he took off his pendant and hid it carefully.

And put the big brother pendant around his neck.

She picked up a piece of parchment and a quill, lay down on the table, thought for a while, and began to write her first letter to big brother.

"Dear big brother Uh, it can't be written like this, it's confidential. Well, then it's not good to write it as dear Bo Laike. Oops, it's so complicated.

How about this.

Written as dear Mr. S, that's not bad. "

——

"The current Jaina is obviously very obedient, so obedient, why would she do such a thing like killing relatives and beasts in the future?"

The pirate complained in his heart.

Under the guidance of the magic street lamp, he turned forward and turned a corner, intending to cross the alley, go back to the Brilliant grocery store, and spend the night in Ravenholdt's stronghold.

Wait for Merry Winterwind to arrange his hospitality.

But just as Laike walked into an alley, a beam of teleportation light suddenly lit up behind him.

The fluctuation of that magic power was obvious, and it was obvious that the visitor did not intend to hide his presence.

The pirate stopped.

He glanced back.

After the blue teleportation light shattered, a dark-haired young man appeared in the shadows of the alley.

He wears a robe with the symbol of the Kirin Tor's purple magic eye, and holds a staff wrapped in four red crystals in his hand. He has thin cheeks, a beard, and a pair of piercing eyes.

It is worth noting that there is a black kitten lying on his shoulder.

That kitten looks very interesting.

The whole body is white, only the cheeks, ears, four paws and tail are black. It also has a pair of blue eyes, very beautiful, very delicate, small in stature, which makes people feel affectionate at first glance.

It must have been a beloved pet of the benign black-haired mage, too.

As a kind of magic that has been used by high elves for thousands of years, normal teleportation shouldn't have such drastic arcane fluctuations.

It must be that the mage deliberately increased the mana injection in order to protect his cat when the teleportation technique took effect, but this also meant that the mage was very confident in his own strength.

Otherwise, he would not appear here with his pet.

"you are?"

Bu Laike pretended to be confused and asked.

"Hush!"

The mage made a silent movement, and then glanced at the sleeping kitten on his shoulder. He changed the staff to the other hand so that his shoulders were flat and would not disturb the kitten's sleep.

In a light voice again, he said to Bu Laike:

"Kel'Thuzad, the high-ranking mage of the Kirin Tor, transferred to Archmage Antonidas a few months ago, and conducted magic research under his guidance.

I live with Jaina Proudmoore in the Archmage's Mage Tower.

Before the great master left, he told me to take good care of his valued disciple.

Little Jaina is a very well-behaved magic apprentice. Her talent is amazing, but she is too young and doesn't know much about magic except ice magic.

Just like the camouflage technique on you, sir.

This is a very special way of using magic power that the high elves from Quells have researched in the long past. As far as I know, this kind of camouflage magic was originally used for elf assassins and rangers to perform tasks.

So, sir, are you from Quel'Thalas?

And, why are you privately approaching Jaina Proudmoore? "

He asked two questions.

And it seems that he won't leave unless he gets an answer.

Bu Laike moved his shoulders, took out a gray-white dice, gestured to the mage in front of him, and said:

"Wait a mininute."

"I'll decide how to answer you after I throw the dice."
