Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 506 59. The Windrunner family is too much, consider our Proudmoore

Pirates guard the cabin of the Naglfar on the eve of a magical visit to Narthalas College.

He opened the window and let the moonlight shine into the dark place.

The moonlight shone through the window on Bo Laike's pipe-smoking body, leaving parts of his body in shadow, as if eerily sliced ​​open by something invisible.

There is also part of the moonlight shining on the black coffin placed in the cabin. The loyal Demonsaber Mionix is ​​lying on the coffin like a big cat, wagging its beautiful tail.

She also seemed to know that her master would recover tonight, and she was waiting patiently.

The pirate had the Golden Xiqin sent by Quel'Thalas by his hand, and planned to use it as a gift to congratulate Windrunner's mother on "reborn".

If it wasn't that he really didn't know the rhythm, this would be accompanied by this quiet and horrifying picture, and he should play a song to cheer up the fun.

There are dexterous crows flying around outside the window.

This is in line with the biological habits of trade wind crows foraging for food at night. Miss Hisalie Black Crow is really serious. As long as there are pirates, she strives to improve her camouflage interpretation to full marks.

Bo Laike exhaled smoke rings and watched the crow fly by with a green worm in its mouth outside the window.

There was an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

He decided that at the moment when this "pretend game" ends, he must personally present Miss Hei Ya with a certificate of honorary actor from the Karazhan Theater Company to reward her for such a hard-working performance.

"But what is it that drives her to drink dew and eat bugs every day, just to stay by my side to scout for intelligence? Is it her loyalty to Elune?

How did the raptor druids cultivate such loyal spies? "

Rubbing his chin, Bo Laike thought to himself:

"There must be a knack for this kind of thing, right? It's not like this Miss Hisalley Crow is a natural showman? Does she really enjoy this kind of deception and the pleasure of prying into privacy?

For this reason, they can even endure such boring and harsh living conditions.

Huh~ Thinking about it carefully, this is too perverted, and the humanoid camera belongs to it. She is also having a miserable life every day, why don't you start preparing special bird food for her tomorrow?

Nat has bait specially made for fishing, which is said to have been learned from the tuskarr.

Grind it with several kinds of worms and mix it up. It smelled pretty good when I passed by last time. I don’t know if it suits her taste? "

Bu Laike's thoughts were running a little bit for a while.

The main reason was that the waiting time was a bit long. After he finished smoking the pipe in his hand, he turned his head and glanced at the coffin under the moonlight.

The countdown to Liresa Windrunner's soul reconstruction and career transformation given on the character card had been reset to zero more than ten minutes ago, but Windrunner's mother showed no sign of waking up.

"Could something have gone wrong?"

Bu Laike stepped forward, reached out and touched the big purple leopard lying there, drove it off the coffin, and stretched out his hand to hold the edge of the coffin.

At this moment, Thisalie Crow landed on the window silently. While she was neatly arranging the feathers on her body with her sharp beak, she also looked at Bo Laike inquiringly.

She was also very curious, what was the purpose of the pirates to steal back the remains of Liresa Windrunner?

It's not like resurrecting Windrunner, is it?

As a druid who uses the power of life, Miss Black Crow is very clear that it is impossible to resurrect from the dead, okay? Otherwise, Archdruid Staghelmet would have resurrected his son who died in Silithus a thousand years ago.

Miss Druid had every reason to believe that the evil pirates must be doing some sacrilegious things.

As a bystander, she wanted to record this incident and send it back to the Cenarion Order as "criminal evidence" for Bo Laike, so that she could use it in the liquidation of the bad-hearted pirates.

Of course, on this boring night, it's not bad to come and see the excitement.

"click"

Bu Laike opened the coffin that had been closed for half a month.

What came oncoming was a thick dark force, very similar to the cold fog formed when the high-level death divine power was transformed and dissipated, causing the temperature of the entire cabin to drop several degrees at this moment.

After dispelling the black mist, Liresa Windrunner's pale body still greeted her eyes. Compared with half a month ago, there was no change, except for her face.

Bo Laike found that his mentor's eyes looked like he had put on smoky makeup.

Dark red tear spots formed around her closed eyes, and her cheeks were thinner than before, and the outline of her jaw could be clearly seen.

This thinness brings Liresa a sense of "sarcasm" and indifference, making her image infinitely closer to the Queen of Darkness in Bu Laike's memory.

"This wave, this wave is the mother stealing her daughter's future career plan."

The pirate complained, and stopped the big purple cat who was poking around and trying to jump into the coffin. He stretched out his hand and put it on the mentor's neck, wanting to see her current situation.

But when the fingers approached, they were pinched precisely by the hand wearing the black gauntlet.

The next moment, Liresa opened her eyes, which startled the pirates.

Those were a pair of dark red eyes, completely different from the pupil color of Windrunner's mother before.

With the undead race currently in the ascendant, this weird eye color is definitely rare in Azeroth, and it's not quite right to say it's the fire of the soul.

"hum"

Liresa's body turned into black mist and disappeared into the coffin. Bu Laike reacted very quickly, turned around and swung the moon blade, smashing the shadow blade in the hand of Windrunner's mother who appeared behind her.

He also disappeared under the moonlight, and started a short but intense close-quarters battle with Liresa in the small cabin.

Relying on the unreasonable moonlight enhancement of the watcher, he suppressed the newly awakened Windrunner mother from beginning to end, and took another opportunity to banish Liresa from the dimension of reality with warlock magic.

After the exile ended, Windrunner's mother stood up with the help of the bulkhead, and when she looked up again, the soul fire in her eyes had returned to the normal faint blue.

She coughed and said in a hoarse and weird voice:

"Very good, you haven't regressed in half a month, my disciple"

"Stop pretending, mentor! You can't pretend to kill me just now. You are all good teachers. Why do you have this bad habit of not admitting your own weakness?"

Bu Laike appeared from the moonlight. He frowned and said to Liresa:

"What happened just now?"

"Interference from the Shadow Realm."

Windwalker's mother didn't hide anything, she rubbed her head and said frankly:

"Since the reintegration of the soul and body, I can hear the whispers on the other side of the curtain of life and death. It scolded me for violating the law of life and death, and asked me to take the initiative to go to the world of the dead and accept the judgment of my own fate."

"Don't listen, don't respond."

Bu Laike suddenly understood, he raised his hand and said:

"Let's go to Dalaran to discuss this matter.

Now, my dear teacher, I have prepared for you the gift of 'rebirth'. It took me a lot of work to get this out of Quel'Thalas, so I hope you'll keep yourself in a good mood.

Because I have very bad, very bad news for you. "

The pirate obsequiously lifted up Jin Xiqin, and gave it to his chief retainer with both hands, while Windrunner's mother also showed a look of nostalgia on her thin face.

She stretched out her hand, caressed the Jin Xiqin in front of her, held it in her hand, flicked it lightly with her slender five fingers, and an extremely beautiful melody came out from this fairy lyre.

Bu Laike didn't disturb the memories of Windrunner's mother.

He stayed there quietly, listening to the revived Liresa play an ancient song, and then used her hollow voice to sing a cappella in Salas to the melody.

This song is very familiar to Laike, and he can even beat the beat.

It is called "The Elegy of the Highborne", and it is a ballad created by the artists of Quel'Dorei for the lost elven empire. It is also mostly used by the high elves when they mourn or are buried.

To put it simply, this is a sad song.

Not so auspicious.

But considering the special form of Windrunner's mother at this time, it's not particularly abrupt.

The little crow standing on the shoulder of the pirate was also immersed in the elegy, and even relaxed his vigilance in disguise for a few seconds, following the song to recall the ancient and prosperous empire era.

Bu Laike is more concerned about another thing. When Windrunner's mother played the golden zither, several buffs appeared on his character card.

They are all temporary buffs, and the effects last for ten minutes, but there are various types, from boosting mental resistance, to temporarily strengthening movement and attack speed, to dispelling negative states with clear mind, and so on.

This made him realize that the Phoenix King's Jin Xiqin is not just good-looking.

It is indeed a rare magical weapon.

At the end of the song, Windwalker's mother, who had finished mourning for herself, removed her fingers from the strings, looked at her disciple again, and said:

"You just said you have bad news for me?"

"Uh, yes."

The pirate glanced at the window and was ready to escape at any time, so he whispered:

"Well, your youngest son came to me and said he wanted to follow you. That young man was really determined, and he swore a manly oath in front of me.

I was so moved that he is now surviving in the wilderness of the South Island forests in Tol Barad.

I let Nathanos protect him.

Moreover, I used the way you trained me, my mentor, to strictly demand him. After beating him several times, I finally made some progress, and I am no longer that bitch.

Hey hey, mentor, this Jin Xiqin is a rare work of art! It's not what you use! "

"Ah, if you have something to say, don't swing the ax!!!"

——

On the southern island of Tol Barad, in a forest where trolls are said to roam, Lilas Windrunner, dressed like a savage, finally ended his "seven-day trial" when dawn arrived.

His original delicate skin became a little rougher, and the femininity on his body also dissipated a lot. Herbal battle makeup was smeared on his handsome face, and his body was covered with camouflage leaves woven by himself.

There are still many small wounds on the body, a bracelet woven with bear teeth is worn on the wrist, and a processed bear head is contained in the bag made of broken clothes on the back.

That is the tradition of the Windrunner family. The first prey that is hunted by oneself will be made into a specimen, which symbolizes the transformation from prey to hunter.

The former Lilas did not understand the meaning of this slightly barbaric tradition.

Now he has learned not to think about these emotional things.

He walked out from the edge of the forest, looked back at the wilderness behind him, grinned, put the broken war bow on his waist, took off his "original ecological equipment" and threw it on the ground.

After bowing towards the forest, he followed the route of departure and headed towards the evacuation location agreed with "Second Brother-in-law".

"Aww"

The deep roar of the beast came from the darkness, making Lilas quickly ready for battle. He pulled out the bear bone dagger from his waist and looked around vigilantly.

He saw a slender figure riding on the armored magic saber slowly walking out of the darkness.

"boom"

Two things were thrown in front of Lilas by that familiar figure.

The one on the left is a beautiful golden lyre, and the one on the right is a simple and rough cane, like two different paths of life, before Lilas.

"Take Jin Xiqin and go back."

Mother Windrunner in black armor says:

"The Windrunner family has enough excellent hunters, you are not missing one! But our family has not yet had a bard, maybe you can be the first one.

Let's go back.

Your sisters need your company more than I do. "

"The Windrunner family has enough excellent hunters, and I'm not missing one."

Rilas straightened up like a soldier being inspected by a general.

He picked up Jin Xiqin and the cane on the ground at the same time, and repeated what Windrunner's mother said, saying:

"I can also be the first bard in the family, but my sisters are strong enough to accompany each other, and you are walking in the dark, and you need me to follow you so you don't lose your way.

I've lost you once, Mom.

This time I won't let you go alone. "

A second later, Lilas shouted loudly:

"Honorable Ranger General, Lilas Windrunner, a recruit of the Farstrider Legion, has completed the wilderness trial, and now applies for rejoining the team!"

The mother of the windrunner in the dark looked at her little son again.

After a few seconds of silence, she sat down and put on the armored Demon Saber Minnie and let out a low growl, then turned around and walked into the night without saying a word.

At the moment when Lilas felt disappointed, he heard a hollow voice:

"Come on, recruit."

"It's time for you to enter the next stage of training."

This answer made Lilas very excited. He responded, carrying the head of his first prey, leaning on an ancient rune cane, carrying Jin Xiqin, and strode up to follow.

Farther back in the darkness, a poker-faced Laike was hiding in the grass with his brother Nathanos, and the sentimental Lordaeron ranger-general had a peaceful smile on his face.

In the eyes of the pirates, it is the same as a mentally retarded.

Maris patted Boo Laike on the shoulder and said:

"This is so touching, why can't you just smile?"

"Why am I laughing?"

The pirate said with a wooden face:

"I understand the truth, but why did she use my things as a reunion gift for her son? I'm her favorite disciple, okay? I went through life and death for her, and I didn't get any good rewards.

This is too discriminatory. "

"My mother has sacrificed her life for you, and you still feel sorry for a magic cane!"

Maris rebuked dissatisfiedly:

"You guys are really hopeless."

"Oh, I don't feel sorry for you, anyway, I'm going to have a better war bow soon."

Bu Laike sighed and said:

"My silly brother, I'm complaining for you. Do you know that although Ms. Liresa didn't say anything, I, who is good at perceiving people's hearts, have tasted what she meant.

If you want to continue to develop contact with her daughter, you have to show 'sincerity'.

I gave her son a cane, and it was over.

But to make a mighty warbow out of my staff, I need an enchanted dragon sinew."

The pirate patted Maris on the shoulder maliciously, and said:

"Do you understand now? You have to prepare a 'betrothal gift', don't expect me to help you. Tsk tsk, as expected of the Windrunner family, if you want to marry her daughter, you have to fight the dragon.

Fortunately, I am not interested in the three sisters, otherwise I would be as unlucky as you. Hmm, that wry smile of pleasure on your face? Or a happy frown?

I think she is deliberately embarrassing you.

Otherwise, I don’t want Cirvanas, I’m at a disadvantage, allow you to pursue Fenner, okay?

Our Proudmoore family has very low requirements for choosing a son-in-law, just help me kill any head priest of the Church of Storms! It may not be easy for Dai Lin, but I believe you can handle it.

Think about it. "
