Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 747 78. Bu Laike's Caged Bird (pseudo)

Arom's Stand is an important local military stronghold of the Vik Reiss family, and a tall wall against the enemy stands outside the town located in the valley.

Every day, heavily armed Vic Reiss family soldiers patrol the surrounding area.

They are well-trained and well-equipped. They are all veterans who have participated in the orc wars, and they have left their own legends on the battlefields of the Eastern Continent.

On the high platform of the cliff at the edge of this fortress, stands a black sculpture, which describes the story of the pioneers of the Arathor Empire in the barbaric era who went to Kul Tiras to pioneer.

The sculpture itself, on the other hand, depicts their lord, Colonel Alom Vik Reiss, in a heroic battle posture.

He was also the first lord of the Kul Tirans.

Of course, this fortress was not only built to commemorate the ancestors of the Vic Reiss family. Its own military terrain is almost perfect, and it is stuck on the main traffic road in the Drustvar Mountains.

With this military town and this north-south mountain range, the Drustvar Mountains are perfectly divided into east and west.

When necessary, the Vic Reiss family only needs to hold this fortress, and they can completely block the only road on land leading to Klein City, the largest city in the area.

The local barracks and armament warehouses are also set up north of Arom's Tower and west of the Drustvar Mountains, so that even if they are surrounded, the Vic Reiss family can stay in the city. Persevere until the last moment on the land of our ancestors.

I have to say that the local mountain people are really tough.

They are definitely the most capable group of people in Kul Tiras. As long as the Vik Reiss family gives an order at a critical moment, an elite army with exaggerated combat power can be formed in this mountainous area in an instant.

Therefore, when Dai Lin said that the army of Kul Tiras was inferior to the Gray Wolf Brigade of Gilneas, that was just being polite.

But Genn Greymane would be a fool if he really believed that.

"Arthur and I are about to get married in six days. According to the ancient tradition of the family, before each Patriarch succeeds to the throne, he needs to burn incense and pray at the Alom's Altar, praying for the blessings of the ancestors."

On the watchtower of Arom's Terrace, Meredith explains to Boo Laike why she and Arthur are here.

This tall Kul Tiran beauty leaned against the railing of the watchtower, looking at the towering snow-capped mountain ridges in the distance under the night. She twirled her hair and said to the gentlemanly Laike who was five steps away behind her. :

"This was once the place where the first lord of the Kul Tirans fought desperately with dark creatures, and the heroic ancestors of the Vik Reiss family defeated the legendary Drusts of the 'Death' here.

Here, for every Vic Reiss, it means a lot. "

"I've heard this story. After all, I was born in this country. When I was a child, I fell asleep listening to the stories of those heroes and ancestors almost every night."

Bou Laike held the flagon and said as if chatting with the countess-to-be on the watchtower:

"Arom's Terrace was not only where Colonel Arom Vik Reiss won his wars, it was where he spent most of his life.

Soldiers in his era honored lifelong service, and even though he was appointed as a lord by Emperor Thoradin, he still maintained his true colors as a soldier until the day of his final death.

Colonel Arom's former residence can also be seen from here.

The lord never lived in the manor built for him by his people all his life, and even when he died of old age, he took his last breath in this fortress.

All the mountains and forests of Drustvar weeped his farewell when he was gone.

His beloved eagle bumped headfirst on Lord Arom's tombstone and chose to leave this world with him. He was not just a warrior, a lord, and a general.

Arom Vik Reiss is also a rare legendary hunter among humans.

His natural affinity was so gifted that it has rarely been seen in the entire history of mankind. "

The pirate vividly recalled the stories he had heard in his childhood. He looked at the snow-capped mountains at night and said:

"It is said that Lord Alom maintains a good friendship with the gods in the Drustvar Mountains, and the mountains have always sheltered his children. This is why the Vic Reiss family has been able to survive for 2,700 years. The reason for maintaining the inheritance."

"But that should be just a legend, right? Your Highness."

Miss Meredith whispered:

"I asked Arthur, and he told me that there is no record of this matter in Lord Arom's handbook, although the old people in Falconwood Town will still tell the story of the colonel and the heart of the forest vividly.

But are there really gods in these mountains? "

"Hehe, you mortals."

Bo Laike took a sip of his wine, let out a weird laugh, and said:

"I always think that those legendary stories are only added by later generations, in order to make the ancestors famous.

But every legendary story has its blueprint.

Regarding your question, I will tell you that there are indeed gods in the mountains of Drustvar, and there are two of them! Colonel Arom did maintain an excellent relationship with them.

The legend of the Vic Reiss family being protected by the gods is also true.

There is absolutely no doubt about this. "

"It's really like this?"

Miss Meredith's eyes widened. Although she has a lot of knowledge and has integrated into the high society of Kul Tiras, she is just an ordinary person after all.

Things like gods are still like stories and fairy tales to her.

Bo Laike looked at her face, and after a few seconds, the pirate stroked his chin and said:

"Well, I probably thought of the most appropriate gift I should give you two. On your wedding day, I will give you a surprise as a reward for your loyal service to me."

"We serve the monarch of this country's destiny. This is the loyalty that the Vic Reiss family has always insisted on. This kind of loyalty does not need to be repaid, Your Highness."

Mrs. Meredith replied gracefully, and after a few seconds, she took out a not-so-thick book from her bag, and handed it to Bo Laike.

she says:

"This is a gift from Arthur and I, Your Highness.

According to your instructions, two months ago, when Arthur and I were traveling in mourning in the former residence of our ancestors, we found a secret passage leading to the mountain behind Colonel Arom's bookshelf.

There, as you say, are guarded by formidable rock formations.

Fortunately, we brought loyal family knights and spellcasters and spent a lot of money to pass the test of the structure. In the depths of the ancient cave, we found this book.

This is the heritage of the Ashes Knights that has long been annihilated in time, and it is called the secret biography of the "Silver Ash Code". "

Bu Laike looked down and "looked".

The book Meredith gave him was a scribal edition, inside which was a complete copy of the "Silver Canon" that the young couple had found in the ancestral sanctuary.

It is said to be a holy book, but it does not record any teachings.

This book internally records the training methods of Colonel Arom Vick Reiss and the evil druids of the dead, that is, the most elite "Ash Knights" under the command of the Drusts when they fought.

And the alchemy secrets they use that are effective against dark things, including teaching in detail how to use silver weapons to fight darkness and so on.

This is basically the equivalent of a "Drust and Dark Wizard Slaughter Guide".

The things recorded in it are of little use to Bo Laike, but they are very useful when dealing with the threat of dark evil as an individual.

Because this book does not teach those already powerful warriors and knights how to fight against the darkness, it is left by Colonel Arom to teach ordinary people how to prevent the invasion of the power to drive away the darkness.

"Very well, it is a surprise that you found it."

Bu Laike threw the manuscript back into his bag, looked at Mrs. Meredith in front of him, and said to her face to face:

"When Pope Fao presides over the wedding ceremony for the two of you, you and Arthur can present the "Silver Codex" as a gift to His Majesty the Pope.

Believe me, the old man will be ecstatic about it.

Now he is worrying about how to make the believers of the Church of the Holy Light more able to protect themselves in the face of the hidden darkness. This Holy Book will bring back a lot of resources for the Vic Reiss family.

The whole Church will be there to help you. "

"Well, Arthur has been planning to rebuild the Knights of Embers since he discovered this holy book."

Mrs. Meredith took down the pirate's suggestion, she shook her head again, and said helplessly:

"My Arthur is childlike in this respect.

He believes that the reappearance of the "Silver Ash Code" is the inspiration given to him by his ancestors. He believes that the glorious and powerful Knights must be rebuilt in order to better defend this land.

I can't convince him no matter what.

The remaining poisonous witches on this land have all been wiped out under your strike, and the darkness of Drustvar has been washed away. "

"Well, I wouldn't be so optimistic if I were you, my albatross."

Bo Laike shook his head.

He stood up and said:

"The Heartwitches are just negligible evils derived from the power of darkness in the depths of the Drustvar Mountains. Arthur's concern is correct. There is indeed darkness lurking under this land that has not been discovered by human eyes.

The rebuilding of the Order of Embers is a must.

I can't say when those darkness will make a comeback, but with a knight order that has defeated them in the past, no matter how the darkness comes, you will have the power to fight back. "

"Ok."

Mrs. Meredith's countenance grew grave, and she said:

"Since your Highness said so, I will fully support Arthur in rebuilding the Knights.

However, if this is done, the income of the Albatross Chamber of Commerce will be tilted to the Vic Reiss family, and the taxes we pay for your fleet may be "

"The taxes that should be paid still have to be paid. If I start this, I will have a headache in the future. But if you can't save money, you can open source."

Bu Laike shrugged and said:

"The fleet has now passed the most dangerous moment, and the business circle in the North Sea is also taking shape. You can suggest that the Albatross Chamber of Commerce become the first batch of merchants in Kul Tiras to set foot in the North Sea, and set an example for others.

The profits these shrewd businessmen obtained from the North Sea can be used to support the establishment of the Knights of Ashes. "

"Well, that's a good idea."

Shrewd Mrs. Meredith nodded and said:

"Old Herb is really worried about the stagnation of profits recently. As the later chamber of commerce, we really have no way to squeeze into the businesses controlled by big merchants on the South China Sea. We can only drink after them. soup.

He will be ecstatic when he hears the news. "

"Let him go to Beihai with confidence and boldness."

The stinky pirate waved his hand and said in high spirits:

"That is our territory, going there is the same as going home, expand the business as much as possible, and how much profit you can make depends on his ability.

Well, it's dawn.

You should go back and be with your husband.

It's not a good thing to have a secret conversation with another man in the middle of the night. "

Laike took a step back and looked down at the height of the watchtower. He turned his head again and looked at Meredith who was leaning over to leave. Before she left, the pirate suddenly seemed to sense something.

He frowned and said:

"Your vitality flow is a bit strange, are you pregnant?"

"what?"

Mrs. Meredith covered her flat stomach in shock, and it was clear from her expression that she was not aware of the strange changes taking place in her body.

"Good Arthur, you claim to be a devout follower of the Holy Light, but you are still like the great nobles behind your back."

The pirate laughed, and said to the flushed Mrs. Meredith:

"Fortunately, you are going to have a wedding soon, otherwise you will not be able to hide it. For the strict and rigid Vic Reiss family, this is a real scandal.

Of course, you don't want to hide it from His Majesty the Pope.

For a legendary priest like him, his perception of life force was already extremely exquisite, he might feel dissatisfied because of this, and it would leave a bad impression on Arthur.

But that "Silver Ash Canon" can definitely calm all the anger of the old man.

He was a devout believer, but also a rather shrewd pragmatist. However, since it is my friend Arthur's first child, and I happened to meet it, there must be another gift. "

Bo Laike coughed.

He stood up straight, stretched out his left hand and gently pinched the air.

With the shining of the azure streamer, a small ball of gem-like substance entangled by water was condensed on his fingertips with the power of "Baron Torrent".

"The essence of water, the condensation of elemental water in the material world, after the child is born, dissolve it into water and give it to her within seven days."

Bo Laike put the shimmering and cold essence into a crystal vial and handed it to Mrs. Meredith.

He said:

"This will make the child have the ice affinity of the water element. Of course, it will definitely not be as exaggerated as Jaina Proudmoore, but it will also make the child

Well, in the words of those of you who are parents, win at the starting line. "

The pirate smiled strangely.

He looked at Meredith, who was constantly thanking, and said again:

"If she's a girl, let's call her 'Lucille', she will definitely bring long-lasting light and peace to this gloomy mountainous area.

Well, I should go too.

Go back and continue serving our cause, my albatross. "
