Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 740 71. Release the fisherman in your heart

"I'm back, Captain, but none of the perch was big enough today, so I put them all back in the river, maybe we can have a different dish today.

During my time in the Temple of Storms, I learned to make a shrimp platter.

On the way back I bought loads of prawns from friendly anglers.

We are lucky today. "

With the sound of joy, Nat Pagle walked into the room carrying a small bucket with a smile on his face. He put his beloved fishing rod behind the door, and diligently put the bucket of shrimp into the kitchen.

Rolling up his sleeves, he planned to show off to his captain.

Braike came out of the study with a dwarf pipe in his mouth, and Ms. Natalie Serling followed behind him. The sound of two footsteps approaching Nat who was cleaning the shrimp stopped, but then continued to work as if nothing had happened. .

"Is Ms. Selling here? That would be great."

He glanced back, smiled sincerely at the people behind him, and said:

"My mentor is a very kind person. When he was fishing with me, he learned that I was from the Eastern Continent and was a believer of the Holy Light. He kept discussing with me the similarities and differences between Haitao's teachings and the promise of the Holy Light. .

I don't know those sacred scriptures very well, I just listened to the preaching of the priests in South Sea Town. Before the disaster, faith was just an embellishment of life for me.

My scriptures are not at all good enough to debate the doctrine with my mentor.

But Ms. Natalie certainly can, and perhaps you'd like to come with me to Boralus Harbor, where my mentor is blessing the newly launched Kul Tiras warship.

I believe that the two of you will be able to discuss these matters of faith very well. "

"You can debate doctrine whether you know the scriptures or not. Nat, as long as you have faith in your heart and have your own understanding of your faith, then you are qualified to talk about it with others."

Natalie stroked the void scripture around her waist, and said softly:

"You don't need to care about other people's evaluation of your beliefs, and you don't need to doubt your own path because of other people's few words. How can belief be such an inconvenient thing?

But maybe before talking to your advisor, we could have a chat. "

"OK."

Nat didn't refuse, he just turned his head and smiled and said:

"But I'm dealing with the ingredients and I can't concentrate on it. I hope you don't mind."

"it's OK."

Natalie glanced at Bo Laike, who took off his pipe and nodded at her, the black-robed ship doctor's fingers gently clenching on his own scripture.

She coughed, and her tone became hoarse, as if some kind of dark substance was entangled in her business, and her voice became cloudy and unclear.

Amidst the lingering shadowy void power, the priest who gradually entered the shadow form said softly:

"Nat, tell me, what's the big fish you've always wanted to catch?"

This voice contained a call of void power, which mobilized the spiritual magic that the shadow priest was extremely good at, allowing it to enter the soul directly at the moment the voice sounded.

Generally speaking, this method of casting spells is the starting method of the "shadow word technique" that shadow priests are good at.

The next step is to have a hearty spiritual whip, and when the opponent is in pain, he will be followed by a full-energy spiritual blast.

If the opponent has not passed out or died due to the severe pain of the heart, then perform another Shadow Word - Death or Shadow Word - Pain.

If the opponent can still fight after all this, then it is necessary to consider using "forbidden techniques" such as Shadow Demon and Vampire's Touch.

However, today is for "talk therapy", so Ms. Natalie's aggressiveness is not so strong, she just used this method to force the "real" Nat Pagle out according to the captain's request.

"This doesn't seem to be a matter of belief, does it?"

As a result, Nat forced a Shadow Word spell, which was completely unaffected.

The Haixian robe on his body was shaking due to the vibration of energy, and the shrimps he was washing were affected by the aftermath of the shadow word technique one by one, and he died waving the claws in pain.

But Nat took the time to pick up another shrimp and said without looking back:

"I really mean no harm, madam, and the captain.

I just want to thank you for your help to me, and by the way, take up a little bit of your insignificant time to tell you about the prophecy of the tide that I understand. "

"Something's wrong, step back a little."

Natalie whispered to Bo Laike:

"I'm going to increase my strength, you'd better close your mind."

"Who is this looking down upon?"

Bo Laike was playing with the dwarven pipe in his hand, he pouted and said:

"In my heart, there is an idiot big sister who is a hundred times darker than you. If you go up casually, I will lose if I am scared. Also, control yourself, this is not our territory.

It's hard to close things out here. "

"Ok."

Natalie nodded.

Under Laike's gaze, clusters of warm voids from the depths of the shadow surged out, covering Ms. Serling's body like a layer of black gauze.

The shadow is so dim, it seems to be actively absorbing the light. When the gauze is completely covered, Natalie is like wearing a pair of the darkest hood and cloak, covering the skin of her robe and the long hair on her cheeks. superior.

As she raised her head, a pair of purple eyes slowly opened on the shadow's swaying cheeks.

Any life that looks directly into her eyes seems to be able to feel the call of the frenzied mind.

Good guy!

This shadow form is almost complete!

At least compared to when Bu Laike first met Natalie, her shadow form was more complete and powerful. Perhaps the infiltrating combat mode in front of her should be called void form.

After all, Bo Laike, who was standing next to Natalie, could even hear the faint murmur of chaos.

"Nat, don't resist, tell me, what's the big fish you want to catch?"

The place where Natalie is is like the junction of the void and the material world.

As the shadow priest asked again, the magic with shadow words before had evolved into the induction of mind domination, and with a cold malice during the interrogation, it invaded Nat's spiritual world.

"Stop!"

Nat finally responded.

The shrimp in his hand was crushed by his veined fingers, and the sticky blood stained his fingers, causing him to retreat pale and fell to the ground. He covered his head with the other hand and let out a deep growl .

Hai Xian's secret method is failing.

Something special inside Nat was awakening.

He may have sensed a threat, or he seemed to be summoned by the void frenzy. The false pretense is being torn away, and the truest Nat Pagle is emerging.

"I won't hurt you, don't resist."

Natalie raised her hand, and created a shadow phantom exactly like her from the shadow entanglement, facing her body in all directions, trapping Nat who was retreating in four directions.

The shadow priest crossed his hands on his chest as if praying, and the three shadow phantoms did the same.

At this moment, Ms. Serling's voice has turned into a shadow quartet that can drive a coward crazy, and every sound will make waves in Nat's spirit.

One weight was higher than the other, which caused him extremely terrible psychological pressure, and also made the evil thing "break out of its shell" faster and faster.

Laike looked at the penetrating scene in front of him. Something was rolling under Nat's skin. The blood flowed across his arm and even tore the skin, revealing the horny black fish scales.

The stinky pirate felt angry.

His left hand was lowered, and the moonblade of source quality jumped into the palm of his hand. As a member of the Watcher, no matter what the creature in front of him was, he had to hunt and imprison dark things.

He questioned:

"Did Nat conceive it? Or, Nat became it? What role did the tidesage play in this process?"

"Hush."

Natalie in void form looks like a real "African". No part of her body is white. Putting on the void robe, she made a silent movement and said:

"You'll know the answer right away, but he's really special."

Nat wailed.

He may have begun to blend into the void, but Natalie made the void her home.

The two understandings of void are not on the same level at all.

Now facing Ms. Sellin's questioning and guidance, the dark things in the fisherman's body could not be hidden at last.

With a deep roar, the Nat stood up, and he still maintained his human form, but another form formed in the gradual evolution of darkness has been exposed in front of Laike and Natalie.

Nat's lower body has turned into octopus-like tentacles in the tearing of flesh and blood, and there are rolling yellow eyeballs dotted between the black horn and white suckers.

Those tentacles were like feet, supporting Nat to stand in place.

And his upper body hasn't changed much, except that his right hand has grown fish fin scales and black barbs, and his left hand has turned into a gloomy claw. Only the left cheek is covered by a fish scale-like cuticle, and his left eye has become a single pupil. fish eye.

A large mass of flesh and blood grew on the back of the head, like a small octopus with compound eyes opening and closing.

"I didn't hurt anyone!

My heart is only grateful to Mr. Bou Laike, who rescued me from the fear of cowards, who showed me the way, and who sent me to the temple of the sea.

It was also he who guided me to realize the true meaning of fishing!

fishing?

That's a little girl's game! "

Nat waved his hands, trying to force back the shadow phantoms that were staggered in front of him, and he shouted:

"I'm fishing for a very big fish! It's in the dark stream, I've seen it in my nightmares, I've seen it in the night, I've seen it in the morning light.

It roared to devour my sweet dreams and inject poison into my nightmares!

This is a war between the fisherman and the fish.

I am waging my own war, and I mean no harm to you! Let me go, I won't hurt anyone. Captain, I won't hurt anyone.

Those eyes are looking at me, they are everywhere!

I have to stay far away from you, otherwise those eyes will also fall on you, which is not good. I know that all eyes will eventually open.

but not now!

Shut up!

not now! ! ! "

To be honest, both Natalie and Bo Laike were shocked by the change in front of them.

It's not because of Nat's ugly appearance. Pirates and shadow priests are well-informed people, and they won't judge a creature's good or evil from its appearance.

It's just because Nat still maintains the ability to speak even in this situation.

And the words are clear, he still maintains his sanity, except for a little frenzy and agitation due to the guidance of the void, his mind is completely clear.

"Nat Pagle! Get me sober!"

Bo Laike and Natalie exchanged glances.

He withdrew the moon blade, mobilized half of the void divine power that Xalatas had left in his body, covered it on the palm, and flashed over to grab Nat's collar.

He swung his left hand and slapped Nat's changing face across the face.

The two void forces from different sources collided at this moment, causing Nat to fall to the ground screaming, but when he raised his head, the change on his face had subsided.

It just left a slap mark on the cheek.

"Huh? Does it still have this effect?"

Bu Laike's eyes widened. He looked at his palms that were shining with gloom, and then at his feet covering his face, with a frightened expression of "the captain loves me again".

He noticed the change in Bo Laike's eyes, saw the stinky pirate eager to try.

He seemed to guess what Bo Laike was going to do.

"No! I can control it, don't"

Nat screamed, trying to explain that he was awake.

But what does Boo Laike care about?

With a grim smile, he waved his fists and punched Nat at his feet. Anyway, in his current "half-man, half-fish" state, he probably wouldn't die just because of punching and kicking.

so.

"Okay, don't take the opportunity to bully people."

A few minutes later, Natalie, who was out of the void form, stepped forward and grabbed the vigorously beating Laike. At his feet, Nat, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, curled up and trembled like a little girl who had been raped.

The sea tide priest's robe on his body was already torn, and his arms and body were covered with blood, which looked very oozing.

But that's not what Laike typed.

The pirate had been holding on to the force as he punched him, and that force would never have done Nat such serious damage.

The blood was caused by breaking his own skin when he "transformed" just now.

"Tell me, 'Dark Fisherman' Nat Pagle."

Bo Laike exhaled comfortably, looked down at Nat, and said:

"Are you awake now? What's going on here?"

"I've been wide awake, Captain."

Nat said aggrievedly:

"Actually, you don't have to beat me up. I haven't lost my mind. Just now... just now is just the 'enlightenment' I got from the Ye Ming Pearl after I overcame my fear."

"Revelation?"

The pirate tilted his head and said:

"What revelation could have turned you into that?"

"It's that fish! It's that murloc that keeps appearing in my nightmares! It lives by devouring dreams. It's an evil thing. The Ye Ming Pearl I got is its treasure."

Nat, bruised and bruised, danced and said:

"It cursed me with that Ye Ming pearl, and I must fish it! I must fish it out of the deep by myself, or the curse will not fade away.

It will consume my sanity and eventually make me one of them.

But my mentor taught me to use the wisdom and power of the tide sages to suppress this curse. I must recite the "Tide of the Sea" every day to continue to suppress the curse and take effect. "

"He told you so?"

Bo Laike curled his lips.

He said to Nat seriously:

"No, you poor bastard. You are just borrowing the power of a big monster to deal with a small monster. You are a typical drinking poison to quench your thirst! I seriously doubt that this is the conspiracy of your 'mentor'.

The way you talked to me just now was completely the lunatic raving of a poor bastard who has been deluded by the teachings of Haichao. You still want to preach to me and let me listen to the wisdom of Haichao.

Is this something a normal person can do? "

Nat was also taken aback when he heard that.

He hastily threw aside the bloody tidal scripture in his hand.

Apparently, between his "mentor" and Bo Laike, he trusted Bo Laike more.

This action pleased the pirates very much.

"That's my curse if I can't recite the scriptures."

Nat asked anxiously.

Bo Laike glanced at Natalie and said:

"My ship doctor, are you interested in accepting an apprentice? You just saw that my fishing friend Nat was infected by the void and can still maintain his sanity, and he still has the ability to have 'prophetic dreams'.

This is the talent of a natural shadow priest. "

"I'd love to, but I need to examine his mind to make sure he can step into the deeper, darker void without being affected."

The ship doctor rubbed her chin and said:

"In addition, he must hurry up to end the dispute between him and the strange fish that devoured the dream. Before this problem is resolved, if he does not recite the holy scriptures of the tide, then he will not be able to sleep well.

But since you call yourself a fisherman, hurry up and catch that fish!

It is a shame for a fisherman to be beaten by fish. "
