Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 492 45. I'm just the worst of all the evil people on this island

The island of Tol Barad is divided into north and south.

To the north is the area where several large islands and reefs are combined, which are now occupied by pirates, snakemen, tortoises and little stars, and the large cemetery of Forgotten Hills.

The tortoises also built a small ship repair yard for the undead pirates next to the ruined fortress they rebuilt. The equipment and everything were obtained from the goblins, and the pirates did not need to spend a penny.

This is actually the "rent" agreed upon by Laike and Kojo before, which is equivalent to paying taxes to the pirates, the current rulers of Tol Barad, in disguise.

But the tortoises are actually not at a disadvantage. All the transactions on the island that has already become a little bit angry are in charge of them and the fox people traders.

The pirates under Bu Laike's command will go to the tavern opened by the fox people to spend when they get the money.

As for the trophies that you snatch, you can use them if you can, and if you can't use them, you will give them to the well-informed tortoises for identification.

Those collectors are happy to collect things from unscrupulous pirates, and then sell them at least two or three times the price through their own channels.

A one-stop service for identification, collection and sale of stolen goods has been realized.

Although the pirates are very treacherous, but they are so good, any turtle who has lived for hundreds of years can play them to death.

But because the Tortoises didn't dare to go too far on Braike's territory, the price they gave each time they collected the stolen goods was fair, and the pirates didn't have much complaints about it.

The main thing is that if you don't sell the things you snatched to the turtles, who else can you sell them to?

Especially for those magic items, ordinary merchants dare not accept them, and if you dare to accept them, you have to be extra careful to avoid being scammed, so you might as well just sell them to the turtle people.

Anyway, something went wrong, these tortoises could run away from the monks but not the temple.

In short, after Laike came back this time, he unexpectedly discovered that there was a bustling pirate market on the North Island of Tol Barad, which made his territory seem to be much more prosperous.

Your Excellency the Commander is very satisfied with this.

But how busy he is.

How can there be time to seek justice for the group of trash under his command who know they have been cheated but can do nothing?

After explaining things to Annie, when he went to the South Island to meet the classmates and mentors of Nazaras College, he casually explained to the orc captain Maim who currently manages the island.

Starting this month, the rent for the tortoises will increase by 10%!

Get back some of the money they earned from the trash pirates. The cunning tortoises did not dare to complain, he and the first tortoise are now in a "deep cooperation" relationship.

As the Hippogryph flew over the bridge connecting the South Island and the North Island, a closed island reef surrounded by mountains appeared in front of Laike.

Unlike the North Island, which is split into five pieces, the South Island is a whole rolling "inland mountainous area", separated from the North Island by a strait several hundred yards long.

Apart from the bridge and the sky connecting both sides, there is no way to enter the interior of this mountainous area.

Almost a perfect place to station troops.

In fact, before the orcs invaded the northern border, this was indeed the logistics supply and recruit training ground for the Alliance Navy, and now you can still see the ruins of some burned barracks and warehouses.

And the road built by the alliance here before.

If everything goes according to the plan of the high-level alliance, Tol Barad will become the strongest position on the sea to resist the orcs.

However, the fact that the orcs had red dragons was beyond the consideration of all strategists, so the Tol Barad Island front, which had been built with great effort, fell almost overnight under the ravages of dragon fire.

Those alien invaders took everything they could take with them, and burned what was left, along with the last remaining army that held the place.

Terrible things have happened here.

It even led to a large number of resentful spirits remaining in a large underground prison in the center of the North Island.

The first thing Nazaras Academy has to do after choosing the school site is to purify those vengeful spirits, and even if this work is done by powerful elven arcanes, it will take more than half a year. month time.

From this we can know how many wraiths are on this land.

"Dear dean, I miss you so much."

The Hippogryph flapped its wings, harnessed the wind, and lightly landed on the edge of a swamp that smelled disgusting.

Bu Laike jumped off his mount, opened his arms with a smile on his face, and at the same time crushed a frog to death, he hugged a frog who was waiting in front of him.

The dean, who pays attention to the manners of educators, has no enthusiasm for rejecting students who have returned from a long journey.

Then Bu Laike asked a question:

"You want to rebuild the academy here? Who came up with this bad idea? This underground is a big prison, who knows what disgusting things happened inside?

There are still mud swamps around, it's disgusting!

Look, there's a six-legged crocodile over there trying to sneak up and eat me for lunch.

If you really want to choose a school site, isn't there a ruins of an armored barracks under the mountain in the north?

How convenient it is there, condescending. It is really impossible to go to the south. Although there is no ready-made road there, the environment is good.

It's good enough to raise several local mountain monsters, and if I remember correctly, there are some violent bears.

Anyway, no matter which one you choose, it's much better than choosing this poor place, um, the person who established the school here must be out of their minds. Huh? Dean, why do you have such an ugly expression?

Are you feeling unwell?

My ship's doctor also came back, do you want her to show you? "

Faced with the pirate's greetings, Dean Alya Lanyue put the Sacred Staff of Aluneth away from the noisy laughter in his hand expressionlessly, raised his head again, and said coldly to his disciple:

"Have you finished the homework assigned to you before you leave? Take it out and let me check it."

"It's finished."

Bu Laike shrugged his shoulders, and handed a small package of magic test papers to the dean, saying that it is really hard for single women who have been single for ten thousand years to guess their minds.

Just now he greeted him with a smile and a kind face, but now he has become as cold as ice.

whispering sound.

It must be some dumb, blank-minded students in the academy who are pissing off the dean again.

Alas, education work is not easy to do.

With such emotion, he followed the dean all the way deep into the swamp.

In the center of this huge mud pit, there is a stone gate that has been repaired, leading to the deep underground. There are some students of Nazaras College around, under the command of the instructor, using magic to transform the swamp environment .

The solid foundation has also been laid, and in the large construction site that has been made very dry around, there are disgraced "slaves" working everywhere.

Those North Sea pirates in Rogue Harbor, they've had a rough time lately.

When some old pirates who had seen Bo Laike saw the commander coming, they immediately dropped the shovels and hoes in their hands and rushed towards them howling.

The pirates thought that some unscrupulous people were trying to assassinate the dean, so they immediately drew out the moon blade, and bravely stood by the dean's side. Even though all the slaves here could not hurt a single hair of the legendary mage, they had to wink at critical moments.

It's just that these guys didn't come to assassinate.

Under the surprised gaze of Keir Rogge's eyes on Bu Laike's shoulder, the originally rebellious North Sea lunatics rushed over and knelt on the ground in unison.

One of the leading fellows cried out mournfully:

"Captain Laike, we are willing to dedicate our all to the cause of the undead pirates, and our dogs are born to serve you.

Please let us continue to be pirates!

Wherever you tell us to go, we will go there, there is no reward for being smashed to pieces. "

While wailing, the guy crawled over and tried to kiss Bo Laike's muddy boots, only to be kicked away by the pirate.

"Is it disgusting, you guys?"

Bu Laike cursed.

He manipulated his magic eyeballs to look around, and he found that apart from the unruly Gilnean sailors who had just been captured a few days ago, the other slaves were all looking at him eagerly.

These guys were all skinny and out of shape, and the pirates who saw them were astonished.

He turned back to Dean Lanyue and said:

"Dean, don't you give these guys something to eat?"

"Give it. Speaking of it, you humans are really fragile,"

Dean Lanyue, who was checking Laike's homework, said without looking up:

"We haven't eaten for 10,000 years, and we can continue to exist. As a result, they can't work after starving for ten days. They are all waste."

"Eat once in ten days of hunger, and work every day? Just like that, do you still think they are fragile?"

The pirate opened his mouth wide, then pursed his lips again, and said with emotion:

"I thought I was the most evil guy on this island. Now I am convinced, Master, my little evil is my younger brother in front of you highborne.

Well, it looks like the 'reform through labor' of these guys should be over.

I let them go, no problem? "

"They let go, who will do the work of digging the foundation?"

Dean Lanyue lowered his head, summoned a magic pen, drew a big red cross on a grammatical error in a test paper, and continued to say without raising his head:

"How about you and the group of pirates under your command?"

"Simple, there are few other things in the Eastern Continent, but there are plenty of slaves."

Bu Laike pouted and said:

"I've already sent someone to talk to the people of Gilneas. After a while, many green-skinned war criminals who people hate as dogs may be sent over. When the time comes, you can do whatever you want, and you won't feel bad when you're exhausted.

But this is a bit tricky, after all, it is an official matter.

It would be even better if we could establish a good relationship with Dalaran and rectify the name of our academy. "

"Okay, then you take them away."

Dean Lanyue replied without raising her head.

Bu Laike looked back at the group of pirates in front of him, and said coldly:

"After finishing today's work, go to South Island to report to Annie.

You all know her, and she will be your commander from now on. You wastes will be incorporated into the fourth-class pirate Marun commando, and only those who can survive a battle are eligible to join my command.

I don't keep junk in my fleet.

You did the wrong job over there, and I don't want your lives. Go back and dig the soil, do you understand? "

Under Bu Laike's scolding, a group of pirates cried and howled, but they didn't dare to howl loudly, for fear of offending the demon-like arrogant elf overseers beside them.

They shouted long live Bo Laike.

But the pirates ignored them and followed Dean Lanyue into the original Palatine Prison.

The Palatine Prison existed when Bo Laike, er, Drake was a kid.

In peaceful times, this is the place where all kinds of felons and political prisoners were exiled by human countries in northern Xinjiang. It is famous for its internal chaos and cruel atmosphere.

At its peak, this prison held nearly 3,000 hopeless scum, but the guards were less than 300.

No one cared about the life and death of those scumbags, and even the prison gate was always open all year round.

Anyway, given the terrain of the South Island, even if the criminals escaped, they would definitely not be able to escape.

Their best end is to escape into the mountains and become savages, but the final end of most escaped criminals is to become a pile of stinking troll shit.

Those "ogre" native to Azeroth can eat anything.

Thus the Palatine Prison was in the past years the most famous "landscape" on Tol Barad, and it has become a vicious tale to frighten children in countless people's tales.

Even the children from the Stormwind Kingdom have heard of the "good reputation" of Palatine Prison.

In Kul Tiras, the reputation of Baladin Prison is not so great, because Kul Tiras has the famous Tol Dagor Black Prison.

It was a real ghostly place.

About the story there, ten days and ten nights could not be finished.

Even with the current power of Yibu Laike, there is no plan to rob Tol Dagor's black prison to recruit pirate subordinates at all, so you can see the danger and madness of that place.

Now Nazaras College has decided to transform this large underground prison, which is as large as a small city, into the main teaching place of the college, and the internal transformation is naturally in charge of special personnel.

When Bo Laike walked down the floor, he also saw the two dwarf warlocks of the Spark couple, who were working together to paint a sculpture of "The Hermit" Metri.

The elves kept it clean.

At the big central circle, several instructors were outlining a huge magic circle on the ground that made Laike dizzy. Upon seeing it, the pirate suddenly understood:

"Ah, no wonder this ghostly place was chosen to build the academy.

This is the Nexus of the Ley in the sea off Tol Barad, how stupid I am. Such a genius idea must have been conceived by a wise spellcaster like you, Dean. "

"Stop talking nonsense."

Dean Lanyue finally checked Boo Laike's homework.

She threw seven wrong test papers to the pirates, leaned on her Aluneth staff, and said to the pirates:

"The homework was done well. It seems that you put your heart into it. This is the attitude you should have when studying magic. Alright, come with me, your research topic has already made progress."

"Which one?"

Bu Laike experienced a lot of things in one trip, and he didn't realize it for a while.

As a result, the dean gave her a glare, and Ms. Lanyue pushed her crystal glasses and said:

"Which one else could it be?"

"The imagination you put forward, the high-level warlock magic 'devil transformation spell' has been roughly designed, you prefer to call it 'magic', right?

follow me.

There is also the last modification of the magic pattern and spell model, which needs to be done by yourself.

And, since they are here, they are all here. "

There was a glimmer of cold light on the dean's glasses, and she said:

"Just today, let you be the test object for the first test of the 'enchantment' spell. What are you doing with a sad face? This is to dedicate yourself to the exploration of magic, and it is the glory of a spellcaster.

If you dare to run, I will activate the binding magic here!

That magic circle is not perfect, and I don't know how much it can restrain your body, maybe it's a third, maybe it's half, maybe we should test it?

Come on you!

Stupid student! "
