Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 64 63. Modesty makes progress

Because of the rapid heating up of the Quel'Thalas battlefield, the situation in the Hinterlands is cooling down rapidly.

However, in seven or eight days, as the elite of the Alliance tribe retreated further north, it quickly became a secondary battlefield. The human army was still fighting the orcs here, but the intensity of the battle dropped a lot in vain.

However, it does not prevent Bu Laike from continuing to "glow and heat" here.

It is said that Major Fairbanks, who succeeded General Turalyon and commanded the battlefield of the Hinterlands, has applied for a second commendation order for Braike, in order to reward this well-deserved "orc killer". Outstanding contribution to the alliance.

"When Saurfang left the Hinterlands to support the war in Quel'Thalas, he left a few commanders here. The old warlord Triyg who was in charge of me is now in charge of the orcs in the Hinterlands. force."

Near Lake Valowin, which has been the center of the war for the past few days, Bu Laike is following Garona, heading for the big army camp where the orcs stayed.

The legendary assassin stalks the shadows while briefing Laike.

In her accented human language, she said:

"The old warlord, how should I put it, is a rare 'moderate' among the current orcs, I mean, he is as brave as other orcs.

But more brains.

I doubt very much that the reason why I escaped smoothly is that Cui Yige deliberately gave me a chance. Although he never said it, every time the old orc looked at me, there was a trace of hidden pity. "

Garona shook her head, putting the complicated emotions behind her.

She walked quietly on the edge of Lake Valowen, like a stroll in a courtyard, and led Bu Laike, who followed her, into the core area of ​​the tribal camp.

she says:

"I didn't bring you here to assassinate Cui Yige. In the barracks, there is a high-quality soul stone you need, which is in the hands of an orc warlock named Keridan.

That bastard came from the Shadow Moon Clan. He is Gul'dan's loyal servant and a senior member of the Shadow Council, but his strength is not too strong, and it is still at the level that you can deal with.

He pretended to be loyal to Orgrim Doomhammer, but actually stayed in the Hinterlands to support Gul'dan. I doubt that once Gul'dan calls, Kelidan will immediately betray him.

He has recruited a lot of mindless guys here, once Cui Yige is taken away by him, the old orc is likely to die in the hands of his own people. "

"Cridan?"

Bu Laike blinked and asked:

"Kridan the Breaker? A warlock who is good at using brimstone and fire?"

"Well, that's him. You know him?"

Garona glanced back at Bo Laike, she asked a question, and Bo Laike replied casually:

"Ravenholdt's intelligence network is formidable, and my colleagues will be on the lookout for anyone of note in the war, no matter if it's someone as famous as you.

He is also a warlock who mixes with the green skin group and likes to play with fire. "

Garona nodded.

She doesn't doubt Laike's claims.

In fact, judging from the contact with Ravenholdt in the past wars, this well-established Human Assassin Alliance can indeed do similar things.

However, Laike knew that this orc warlock Kelidan did not come from Ravenholdt's intelligence network.

It's because this guy also appeared in the game.

Well, this guy really likes to play with fire.

"He's just ahead!"

A few minutes later, Garona stood in the shadows above an orc bunker, pointing to Laike at a three-story orc-style wooden building in front of her.

she says:

"I'll help you guard your surroundings, and I'll leave the warlock and his servants to you. That guy has his own contracted demon around him, so he's a very vigilant bastard.

That gadget of yours could come in handy, but you better not get too attached to it.

If you want to go further in the shadow path, you have to use those auxiliary items as a means of life-saving, not a means of attack. From my experience, shadows obviously prefer pure assassins.

and this. "

The legendary assassin threw a circle of things with his hands.

That thing was also covered by shadows, and Laike took it in his hand, and found that it was a coiled iron coil. Judging from the blood stains on it, this thing was used by Garona very frequently.

"Warlock's magic needs to be chanted. In fact, you human spellcasters are the same. When you are not sure that you will kill with one blow, finding a way to disarm their spellcasting ability is the first choice.

Warlocks and mages who cannot cast spells are no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Your stealth might be detected by a shadow-drenched warlock like Keridan, so you'll need this.

This kind of coil is a technique I learned from you human assassins. With a little force, it can cut the throat and vocal cords. In many cases, it is better than a dagger. "

The legendary assassin glanced at Bo Laike and said emphatically:

"I already trust your wisdom, but I don't trust your skill. Facing an opponent like the Shadow Council, any mistake is fatal.

So on the way from the Hinterlands to the hills, I will train you in my way, but if I can't see, what you promised me belongs to Gul'dan's downfall

Before I die, I will cut your neck off with my own hands! "

"I serve death, lady."

Bo Laike hung the throat-cutting coil on his waist, and he said as he sneaked towards the assassination target in front of him:

"If you want to threaten me, you should do it differently."

There are not many orcs in the three-story stone castle.

Apparently the orcs didn't like to stay with the warlock even after drinking the blood of the demon. On the bottom floor lay three wounded and sleeping orcs, who were touched by Bu Laike.

Holding his mouth and nose, he killed them one by one with the dagger without making any sound.

He re-entered the shadows and sneaked to a higher level. Garona, who was watching outside, shook her head again and again. This human assassin was very talented, but he obviously had no professional assassin training.

With his shadow control, such a silent assassination should not have come out of the shadows.

But he didn't learn the technique of maintaining continuous cover in the shadows, his basic foundation was in a mess, and he didn't know how this orc killer got his name.

Perhaps, he was lucky?

Going up to the second floor, Bo Laike immediately smelled a sulfur smell.

He looked around vigilantly, and could feel the fluctuation of the shadow. There should be a demon hiding in the shadow nearby. If he guessed correctly, it should be a succubus.

And his target, Kelidan the Breaker, was busy with something on the stone platform at the edge of the second floor, and he could see wisps of green fel energy shining, probably doing some evil attempts of warlocks.

Bu Laike took a few steps over there, and the busy warlock immediately looked back.

Be noticed!

As expected of a warlock who is also soaked in the power of shadows, he is so sensitive to fluctuations in shadows.

Bu Laike didn't waste any time, started his shadow step, crossed the shadow in an instant, and appeared behind Keridan.

Stretching his hands forward, the slender and trembling iron coil was like a noose, twisting around the warlock's neck fiercely. Bu Laike burst out of the shadow, and as the black smoke-like shadow shattered, he stepped on the back of the warlock with his left foot, and his hands slammed back pull.

The sharp iron coil pierced into the warlock's flesh and blood in an instant, destroying the vocal cords of the throat and causing the orc's neck to splatter with blood.

However, the warlock's skin is abnormally tough.

It's like growing some kind of fine scales.

With the power of Bu Laike, under such a garrote attack, he could easily cut a human's throat, but at this moment, the coil was blocked when it entered the neck, and it could not continue to cut.

"boom"

The warlock's reaction was also quick. The moment he realized that he was attacked and lost his ability to cast spells, a group of flames filled with sulfur breath was smashed behind him.

At the same time, the succubus hiding in the shadows also howled and swung its bone spur whip, and rushed towards Laike.

"Well"

Brimstone and fire added to his body, making Bo Laike feel like he was in a furnace for a moment, and the burning pain made his body shake for a while, but the next moment, when the orc warlock picked up a flame amulet, the tidal charm was activated.

"boom"

Tidal thumps slammed all around, knocking Keridan and his succubus into a stun at the same time, and Laike stepped back, dropping the heavy black saber into his hand.

He swung it with both hands with the skill of Kul Tiras military swordsmanship, and swung forward a large-scale cleave.

"puff"

Blood splattered everywhere.

Perhaps the warlock has magic gains similar to magic armor and demon skin.

Perhaps the vitality of a demon like a succubus is far beyond the ordinary.

But in the face of the sharpness and magic-breaking ability of the legendary blade, cutting them down is not as difficult as cutting wood.

The warlock and his succubus were nearly cut in half.

But this time, Laike didn't gain any "experience" directly. Amidst the ear-piercing howls, on the stone table in front of Keridan, there was a strange purple crystal-like thing, and the surface lit up with a purple streamer.

Soul Stone!

Warlocks used special magic containers to store their souls. When Bu Laike hacked Keridan to death, the soul stone also absorbed his soul.

Succubus also has no experience accounted for.

These demons will be recalled to the twisting void beyond the stars at the moment of death. Unless they are prepared, it is difficult to truly kill a demon in this world.

They respawn in the Twisting Nether, but long-term weakness is certain.

"This is it."

Bu Laike propped up his body with the sacrificial sword, and the pain caused by the sacrificial fire just now was disappearing. He reached out and picked up a few soul stones on the table in front of him, and listened to them.

Screams could still be heard inside.

"None of these will work, it's too weak, I can't get in."

Sefiel's voice also sounded at this time, she said:

"There must be a soul stone of higher quality, he should have it, search it, just like you did in the past seven days, I hope you have better luck this time."

"I've been lucky, like now."

Bu Laike put away the saber, picked up the magic spell that Keridan wanted to activate just now from the pool of blood, and within a moment, a new entry popped up in the equipment column of the character card:

Amulet of the Breaker

Excellent quality. Enhanced haste. Enhanced magic power

Additional Magic: Hellfire (needs channeling)

"cool."

Satisfied, the pirate wore the orc-style magic amulet around his neck.

Although this thing is completely used by the caster, it is the second piece of equipment he has obtained with active magic effects after the tide spell.

You can tell from the description of the entry that this talisman can activate a warlock magic hellfire.

No loss!

Bo Laike grinned, bent down and rummaged through Keridan's body, and soon, he got a small leather pouch with two distinctive soul stones in it.

It was bigger, greener, and more crystal clear, like a green gem in his hand, and Laike held it up in front of his eyes, and could even see the refracted light in it.

"This should work, right?"

he asked.

Seifel didn't answer, but directly with the help of Bu Laike, he struggled to extract his soul from the shackles of the soul lamp.

It turned into a small dragon-shaped phantom again, and rushed into the soul stone in front of him.

“very crowded”

young dragon said:

"But it's barely enough. The magic power of this stone is losing. It's estimated that it will have to be replaced in a month at most."

"One month is enough."

Bu Laike put away the soul stone and put Sefiel's in his close pocket. He looked around, jumped into the shadows, and glanced at the character card with a subtle expression.

In the skill column, there is an extra active skill given by a non-class:

Choke (Elementary)

"So that's how it is."

Bu Laike glanced at the blood-stained iron coil in his hand, and his mind turned a little bit.

Class promotion will bring talents and skills, but there will only be one every five levels. Although those skills are very powerful, it is obviously impossible for a brilliant assassin to rely on those few skills to run rampant on the battlefield.

The rest of the ordinary skills that are not given by the class are not non-existent, but he needs to take the initiative to train and learn under the guidance of the instructor.

"The character card is just the beginning. This is the real way to become powerful. Moreover, I probably know how to complete the 'Shadow Trial' of the pirate class."

The pirate put away the coil and grinned.

He was already a little eager to try.
