Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 271 90. Who is it! Dare to challenge the invincible

At this moment when the Seven Years of the Dark Portal dared to start, the world of Azeroth generally showed a "peaceful" attitude.

In such an era, all kinds of weird and ghostly things have not yet had the chance to appear on the stage. Take ghosts as an example, at this moment, this is still a rare thing.

For various reasons, it is impossible to cross the curtain of life and death and go to the kingdom of the dead, and there are not many ghosts residing in the material world.

Each one is rare.

Ordinary people are very down-to-earth and call these ghosts "ghosts". For example, the guy in front of him who is covered with Laike and holds a flaming long sword to his neck is an out-and-out ghost.

"Oh, look what you've found, my little master."

In Bu Laike's ear, the ghostly Xal'atath whispered:

"A stinky pirate like you, but dead.

Looking at his blue body, and the sound of rolling waves in his soul, he knew that this guy must have come into contact with some weird things before he died.

He also maintains a full soul form and did not die a natural death.

Well, this incident should have something to do with some supernatural power.

Just ask him.

If he doesn't want to tell, just give him to me, and I will help you dig out all the secrets.

my little master. "

"Tell me, how did you become like this? Why didn't those winged Kyrians take you away?"

Bu Laike ignored Xalatas' temptation, he waved the burning long sword in his hand, and said in a casual tone:

"Don't try to hide anything, my lord, if you don't want to suffer."

"Why are you not afraid of me?"

Grayson, the blue pirate who was suppressed by Bu Laike, was still curious. He didn't care about the magic sword in Bu Laike's hand. He just raised his head and kept his hands raised.

Say:

"Also, how did you know that those big, silly blue angels came to see me?"

"Krian's angels are a group of guys who can't sit still. They will not only look for you, but also look for all the souls residing in the material world, and try to bring them into the world of the dead."

Bu Laike stared at the ghost pirate in front of him, he said:

"Okay, I've answered your question, and it's time for you to answer mine. Did you come into contact with something weird before you died that caused you to be cursed like this?"

"how do you know?"

The ghost pirate Grayson let out an exclamation. He looked at Bu Laike with strange eyes, rubbed his hands with anticipation, and told his story to Bu Laike without reservation:

"I've been dead for so long that the stories of my life mean nothing to me, and that was all over a hundred years ago.

At that time, my friend Shandel and I were driving our own pirate ships, plundering scenery in the South China Sea, and we were very free.

Unfortunately, ever since Shandel, that idiot, yawed in a storm and ran aground on the beach in Westfall, and was killed by murlocs at night, I knew it was time for me to quit and go ashore for a safe life It's time. "

The pirate spoke of his past without emotion.

Probably as he said, it happened more than a hundred years ago, there is no need to show excitement or anger, until when he talked about his death, there was more complaint and anger in his tone.

"At that time, I was thinking of making the last deal, save more money, come to the western wilderness of Stormwind Kingdom, buy a small farm, marry two wives, have a child or something.

The news got out somehow, and while drinking on the Booty Coast, I was approached by a weird troll. "

Grayson pushed his pirate hat, and continued in a whining tone:

"I was blinded by the gold that the troll took out, and he gave me a drink, so I agreed in a daze to help him find a piece of gold that is said to be the Gurubashi troll empire in the sea area of ​​Stranglethorn Valley. Relics of the period.

is a rock.

Hiding in the ruins of the trolls submerged in the sea"

"Okay, you don't need to say it, I probably know."

Boo Laike waved his hand and interrupted Captain Grayson's story. He looked the ghost pirate up and down and said:

"Have you found the 'Stone of the Tide' in Stranglethorn Vale? You have come into contact with it? You are such a lucky and unlucky fellow."

"Yes, I touched that stone."

Grayson said with a painful face:

"At that time, my crew members were trying to persuade me not to touch the thing that didn't look right, but I was blinded by lard and wanted to keep the stone for myself.

Because I heard the sound of the tide from the stone, I thought that thing must be able to control the sea water.

If I have it, I can become the most powerful pirate and occupy the entire South China Sea route.

But that stone cursed me.

I had only been free for less than a year when the curse broke out.

With each ebb and flow of the tide, I lose a portion of my body.

The body appeared for a while, disappeared for a while, until I was dying, I threw the broken stone back to the place where I found it, and then came here alone in a boat.

Certainly not for confession or anything like that. "

Captain Ghost spat to the side very stiffly, he looked at the sea behind him, his tone calmed down in this instant, and he said:

"I just, at the end of my life, wanted to see the place where I was born. My friend Sandal had bad luck because the old lighthouse was not lit the night of the storm.

I thought, if Shandel was by my side when I touched the stone, he would definitely stop me, and I would definitely listen to him.

he died.

So I died too.

Blame the damn lighthouse, its blunders ruined two of the best pirates, and I don't want that to happen again. As for those big blue angels, I met them decades ago of.

They say they can take me to another world.

I asked them, what will happen to me when I go there?

They told me that this has to be judged by some kind of arbitrator, but a guy like me who has done all kinds of bad things in his lifetime will probably fall into a place called the Maw and suffer forever. "

Grinning an odd grin, Grayson said to Boo Laike:

"If that's the case, why should I go there?

I am not stupid.

That stone gave me a curse, allowing me to stay in the world for a long time. I should do more good deeds. After my goodness overwhelms my evil, if I go there again, I might end up in a good place. "

"You think too much."

Boo Laike relentlessly struck down the ghost pirate fantasy, saying:

"The good and evil in the Shadow Realm are not calculated by you. The way the arbitrator decides where you go is definitely not a simple balance of good and evil. Forget it, I don't want to discuss this with you.

See my ship? "

The pirate pointed to the ship next to him, and said to Grayson in front of him:

"Do you want to continue to be a pirate? If you want to, this ship will belong to you, but in the future, you have to follow me!"

"Pooh!"

Grayson, who just raised his hand as a military salute, jumped up immediately, and he shouted:

"At any rate, I was also a famous pirate in the South China Sea a hundred years ago. How old are you? You're not even thirty years old. Why should I work for you? Besides, I still want to guard this lighthouse.

In the past few years, the green-skinned orcs have occupied the western wilderness, and all the tower guards have run away. The green-skinned orcs don't care about the sea, but I do! "

"I can give you this."

Bu Laike popped a gold coin from his finger, and it landed in Grayson's half-truth hand.

The moment he grabbed it, Captain Grayson let out a scream, and his weak ghostly body quickly became solid after receiving the cursed gold coin from Bu Laike.

It was as if he had transformed from a pathetic ghost back into a real entity.

He snatched the flagon from Bo Laike's hand, lifted it up, poured wine into his mouth, and looked insane, because he was not related to natural death, and after the death power filled his soul, part of his senses also returned.

"Ah, that's the taste! South China Sea Golden Rum mixed with water, I think I'm going crazy thinking about this taste!"

Grayson laughed and jumped up and down like a monkey.

But in the next moment, Laike snapped his fingers, and the death power on the cursed gold coin was withdrawn. Grayson had just enjoyed the real feeling for less than three seconds, and it dissipated quickly.

He was back to his weak self again.

"I can replace your curse that has begun to fade with a stronger curse."

Bu Laike played with a handful of cursed gold coins, and said to the eager Captain Grayson:

"You are a pirate, so don't play redemption tricks, I know that there is indeed a small reason why you stay here, because you miss your friend who died earlier than you.

The rest of the reason, is that you have nowhere to go.

You can't go into the sea, you will melt when you come into contact with sea water, don't look at me like that, what is a tide stone, I know better than you.

The freedom you want, only I can give you.

Come on, do you want to do it with me? "

"plop"

Grayson knelt down on one knee decisively and shouted:

"Take me to the sea, Captain! To rob, to rob, to deceive, to slaughter, in the name of freedom, I will serve you."

"very good."

Bu Laike raised his finger and tapped lightly on the gold coin in Grayson's hand, and the curse power returned again. Amid Captain Grayson's wild laughter, Bu Laike pointed to the ship and said:

"Go, get ready to sail, we set off at midnight, to Tol Barad. Have you ever been there?"

"Of course! Tol Barad, the territory of the North Sea pirates, I know."

Grayson patted his chest and said:

"I can sail the boat with my eyes closed."

"The North Sea pirates were defeated by the Kul Tiras fleet forty years ago, and now they are huddled in the Northrend waters, and they dare not come to the eastern continent at all."

Bu Laike said quietly:

"I believe in your navigation skills, but I don't believe in your old knowledge. Hurry up and make up for the current sea power."

——

Under the night, the light of the old lighthouse shines on the sea.

Captain Grayson is making preparations before the voyage, and by the way tells the curious Ms. Natalie Serling some of her own pirate stories. Bu Laike was resting in the lighthouse, holding a magician's grimoire to study curse magic.

And the little murloc, Benbo Erba, was not by his side.

The little murlocs are fighting on the beach outside the lighthouse!

The sand is white, in stark contrast to the yellow hues of Westfall, like a strip of white sand inlaid around the endless coastal plain.

Under the light of the lighthouse, the beach reflects crystal light.

The locals call it "Long Beach".

As you can tell by the name, this beach is very, very long, from the place where the West Wilderness and Erwin Forest connect, along the coastline, and spreads to the area where the wilderness and the Stranglethorn Valley blend.

In Captain Grayson's story, his best friend, Captain Sander, was stranded on Long Beach during a storm and was killed by murlocs.

This proves two things:

One, it is not suitable for long-distance voyages in stormy and rainy days.

Two, there is a tribe of murlocs on Long Beach, and they are powerful enough to kill a whole ship of tough pirates.

Under the darkness of night, the murlocs on Long Beach gathered together. There was no difference in appearance between these local murlocs and the murlocs distributed in other parts of Azeroth.

All slimy, slippery bodies with limbs, staring at a big fish head, walking hunched over, with weird spines growing out of their backs.

But they are more vicious.

As far as the land of the western wilderness is concerned, they have lived and multiplied here for thousands of years before humans reached the southern border.

They are the oldest masters on this land.

And tonight, the Long Beach Murloc tribe ushered in a "challenger".

"Mrgllll glrrm gl!!!"

The current murloc leader is a guy called "Old Blind" by the locals. He is purple all over and has only one blind left eye. His body is two circles larger than ordinary murlocs.

It was as tall as a human teenager, and held a rusty harpoon in its claws.

Old Blind is a legend in Long Beach!

Old Blind not only killed local farmers with his harpoon, but also killed Gnolls who competed with murlocs for territory.

The old blind man even led his own soldiers to attack the orcs!

The two orcs in the lighthouse were killed by Lao Blind.

Old Blind is definitely powerful, agile, violent, overbearing, and most importantly, Old Blind is cunning, not cunning like an empty-headed murloc.

The old blind man is the symbol of invincibility among the murlocs in Long Beach!

This little alien murloc is dead!
