Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 404 113. The Research Career of Marius Demon Calamity

Marius Demonbane was one of the last demon hunters to join the Illidari during the War of the Ancients.

He had just completed his hunter training when Stormrage Brothers and Tyrande, under the cover of dragons, ventured into Zin-Azshari's palace, blew up the Well of Eternity, and ended the demonic invasion.

However, this does not mean that Marius is a recruit with no combat experience.

For a short time after the Burning Legion was driven back into the Twisting Nether and the world shattered, he and his companions continued to hunt and slay demons in their new homeland of Kalimdor.

It's just that compared with his comrades who have made great achievements in battle, Maris doesn't have many outstanding achievements.

He is also unlucky.

Before venting his anger of losing everything on the demons, Lord Illidan was raided and arrested by the watchmen without knowing what Lord Illidan did on the top of Mount Hyjal.

Furthermore, being locked up in the Watcher's Catacomb until now, 10,000 years have not extinguished the anger in his heart, and the feeling of powerlessness lost is as clear as 10,000 years ago.

Those feelings tormented him, making him long to swing the blade at the demon.

But fate is so bizarre.

In Maris Calamity, he has sharpened his war blade and appeased his inner demons, and is ready to follow Commander Altruis to use the transcontinental portals set up by those Nightborne Arcanists to go to Eresala When he was doing a big job in the ancient city of Si, the commander gave him a strange task.

A task that almost caused his demons to lose control.

As a recruit, he wanted to bid farewell to his second period of war career that had just restarted, and instead served a group of stinky pirates. Although he could feel the arcane stamp emanating from the invitation letter in his hand.

Although it is nominally going to be the "Instructor of Demonology and Demon Power Defense Class" in the Nazaras Academy rebuilt 10,000 years ago, although this new title sounds cool.

But Marius still felt that he was exiled by his companions.

This made him very unhappy.

But there is no way.

In the Illidari, a recruit like him couldn't refuse orders from higher ups, and the Commander of the Victims had secretly explained to him the truth behind the mission.

This was a matter related to Lord Illidan, and it had to be taken seriously, so Altruis chose Marius Demon Calamity after carefully selecting among his companions.

Because he was an apprentice arcanist before becoming a demon hunter, he was best at dealing with those magic teachers.

Although the commander exaggerated the importance of this task, Maris still felt that he was an unlucky exile.

After experiencing a short period of anger, the evil disaster instructor who had reassured his inner demons carried his bags, bid farewell to his companions who were going to Elesalas, and embarked on the road to the Northland alone.

Uh, this journey is much "faster" than he imagined.

"hum"

In an underground hall outside the city of Suramar, after passing through a portal, Maris Calamity arrived at his destination—a large black ship floating on the sea of ​​ice floes.

When the light of the portal faded on him, he immediately heard the whispers of the group in front of him.

"Is it him? Is it him?"

"Is this the Demon Hunter? Wow, he has cool tattoos! He must be a bad boy!"

"They were indeed blind as the captain said. Look at the black cloth strips covering his face, covering his eyes. He is so fierce, with a knife behind him.

That knife has tattoos on it too! "

"Hush! Keep your voice down, they are blind, but they are not deaf. If he hears you speak ill of him, beware of him cutting you with a knife. I heard that these demon hunters are a bunch of lunatics."

"Mate Marci, look at the tattoos on her body, and then look at yours, you are too ugly!"

"Bah, how did you see the tattoo on my body? Did you peek at me taking a shower? I should have your eyes gouged out and sent to this blind demon hunter as an apprentice."

Well, the moment Maris the Disaster Master arrived on the Alpaca, he was seen by a group of chaotic pirates of various races as a diorama.

These guys were drunk one by one, and they didn't speak with guards, and they said everything.

Fortunately, Demon Calamity is an upper elf. He has been trapped for 10,000 years. The only languages ​​he can understand are Salas and Devil's language. He can't understand the messy language spoken by the pirates in front of him.

But sometimes, the pointing and malicious curiosity of the onlookers can be distinguished without understanding.

These stinky pirates.

Marius was very upset, a dark voice floated in his heart, tempting him to draw out his war blade, and hack all these bastards to death!

Mo Calamity has become accustomed to this kind of dark voice, it is his inner demon speaking. Every demon hunter has this experience, a mature demon hunter will automatically filter out these dark sounds.

But Maris, who is not in a good mood, really doesn't mind if these pirates continue to watch him.

"It is said that demon hunters are very good at fighting, but you see that the elves in front of you are as thin as hemp sticks. Maybe the legends are blown out. Otherwise, how could they have been imprisoned by the watchmen for 10,000 years?"

A bald-headed pirate with a bad accent, now drunk, wearing a red and dirty acolyte robe, speaking the Salas language he just learned, hiding in the crowd and talking nonsense.

That's right, it's that elf control 'Silver Moon' Harry, a bastard who likes to talk nonsense when he drinks too much.

Maris raised his head, a provocative smile appeared on his stern face, he accurately located Harry's position in the crowd, stretched his neck, and threw his backpack on the ground casually.

"boom"

With a soft sound, he took off the battle blade on his back and threw it casually, and the two war blades were inserted into the ship board with a whistling sound. This thin, stick-like demon hunter squeezed his hands together and moved his joints.

"I understand that sentence."

He replied to the drunken Harry in Salas:

"Want to test if I can fight? Stinky Pirate?"

He made a provocative gesture.

There were at least 30 pirates of various races in front of him. What was terrible was that they held a welcome banquet in advance and got drunk. The pirates all saw the demon hunter's provocative gestures.

They looked at each other.

"beat him!"

A Vulpera pirate yelled.

The next moment, the entire cabin was in chaos.

Five minutes later, Maris Demon Calamity, who was moving his shoulders, walked out of the cabin with a relaxed pace, carrying his bag and war blade on his back.

The unhappiness and anger in his heart dissipated a lot, and a smile even appeared on his stern face.

And on the deck outside the cabin, an undead butler in a black and white tuxedo and a half mask was waiting for him. The butler was holding a pocket watch in his hand.

When seeing Maris come out, the butler said with a smile:

"Master will be very pleased to see His Majesty the Disaster and his pirates 'fighting' together. It seems that you have understood and enjoyed the 'welcome ceremony' of the Undead Fleet.

Then, please come with me, Your Excellency Marius.

On the poop, a welcome banquet is prepared for you, and the dean and tutors of Narsalas College are waiting for you on another ship. "

"There is no need to attend the banquet or something."

Demon Catastrophe replied with the characteristic indifference tone of a demon hunter:

"I didn't come here to make friends with the pirates. I brought a message from Commander Altruis, and I need to see His Excellency Bu Laike Shaw."

"You may have to wait for a while."

Butler Moros shook his head and said:

"Master is swimming in the ocean of knowledge. He must pass today's 'wisdom test' before he can spare time to meet you. If you don't like the lively welcome ceremony, then please come with me, let's go to the Naglfar.

You can meet your future colleagues first.

Dean Lanyue and the instructors are all looking forward to your arrival. The new warlock course opened by Nathalas College also needs your professional knowledge to be more perfect. "

"My commander told me that I am only here to tell the teachers about the information, habits and weaknesses of various demons."

Maris Moloch followed Moros off the Alpaca, boarded the boat of the ghost captain Grace, and headed towards the direction of the Nagfar.

On board, the Demon Hunter said to the Steward:

"I'm not in charge of teaching."

"Of course, this is your freedom."

Moros maintained an excellent demeanor and said to the demon hunter in Salas:

"However, in addition to imparting the knowledge of demons, as the new logistics deacon and head of the dormitory of the college, I have a little request for your help."

"Say it, as long as it doesn't disturb my daily combat training."

Maris replied indifferently, showing the demeanor of a master.

Moros laughed lightly.

He said:

"Once the warlock courses are taught on a large scale, the demons summoned by the apprentices through formal or informal channels may become troublesome.

As you know, Nathalas College upholds the quality of teaching, and it is impossible for students to contract unqualified demon servants. Nor can we let those demons who are summoned into the physical world run around.

Therefore, we also need a 'professional cleaner' who specializes in dealing with 'abandoned demons', I don't know."

"You don't have to be so polite."

Maris grinned a weird smile, he stroked the war blade in his hand, his tone was no longer indifferent, but very gentle, and even said with an eagerness:

"I'm happy to help you deal with the 'abandoned' demons, it doesn't matter how many you have, and it doesn't matter how tired you are. I don't even need a salary, I will 'serve' you for free.

I just have one question, when will it officially start working? "

"Well, let me check the time."

The Undead Steward looked at his pocket watch and said:

"In fifteen minutes, the 'Elementary Demon Summoning' course for the third-year apprentices will start. Maybe you can go and listen in first. After the course is over, the demons summoned by those students will be at your disposal.

It's all low level imps and hell hounds, hope this isn't a waste of your time. "

"No no no, I like doing this."

Maris said humbly:

"As long as they are demons, no matter how big or small, no matter how strong or weak, I am happy to send them back to their hometown. Of course, I am a little weak now and need to replenish evil energy.

So my process of disposing of the waste may be a little bloody. I hope I don't scare the students.

But don't worry, I'll clean up the classroom when I'm done.

To be honest, at first I was very resistant to this trip, but now I suddenly realized that accepting the invitation of Nazaras College is a really good thing.

I'm full of motivation. "

——

"'Test Subject No. 1' is here."

In the poop of the Naglfar, Bu Laike, who has just completed three magic test papers, is hiding in Blue Moon Dean's cabin, looking out with the Eye of Keir Rogge.

Seeing that Grayson's boat was about to approach the Naglfar, he rubbed his hands excitedly, and said to the dean beside him:

"It took me a lot of effort to cheat from Altruis. Ahem, the invited demon hunter instructor, I asked my butler to say something to him to 'soothe the soul'.

From now on, we only need to keep summoning demons, while studying demon lore, and 'feeding' Marius Demon Calamity with fel energy.

Find another time, let this real demon hunter complete a demon transformation in front of us, and we will be able to collect enough research materials. "

"One transformation may not be enough."

Dean Lanyue replied in a very academic tone:

"To complete the extremely complicated magic energy ritual, we must first understand the transformation principle of the demon hunter. It may require him to demonstrate this ability two or three times."

"Stop messing around, Dean."

Bu Laike says:

"He's just a recruit. Two or three demon transformations in a short period of time will cause his own demons to get out of control and fall into the dark side of his soul. After this semester's 'seconded teaching' is over, I don't want to put a madman The hunter returned to Altruis.

This will make those demon hunters who are united, stubborn and capable of fighting come to their door to explain. "

"No, you are wrong."

Dean Lanyue took off his glasses, wiped the lenses with a ball of arcane magic, and said slowly:

"In addition to your 'warlock version of the devil's transformation' subject, my mentor Deliana and I, the Archmage Ellan, also have a private subject about 'fel energy corrosion and healing' that needs to be studied.

'Experiment One' isn't just for you, my student Laike.

He is also our research object.

He is a very valuable sample. His super tolerance for evil energy can allow us to study the secrets of how evil energy corrupts flesh and spirit.

Do not worry.

I am sure that he can maintain his sanity after completing multiple levels of demon transformation.

This academic research topic is not harmful to Marius Demon Calamity, as long as he cooperates, he can improve his strength in a short time. Based on my understanding of demon hunters, he will not reject this kind of 'researched' project.

Of course, you can't tell him from the beginning.

so as not to frighten him.

He's coming, keep smiling. Hold back! Boo Laike, your not-good-guy smile is so scary! "
