Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 790 121. The Gathering of Storms

"It's so lively here, are the locals preparing for a celebration?"

Early the next morning, Ms. Emeril Shadowguard, who had just had breakfast in the temporary residence of the Uncrowned, stood by the window, looking at the bustling town street in front of her.

She saw locals on the street preparing a large ceremony.

Strong-bodied men lined the road with streamers on the trees, while women wheeled carts of ceremonial objects and, led by a priest in robes, piled them in a single The edge of the built high platform.

Even the children were beaming, following behind the nuns and ladies, helping them carry some incense and candles and the like.

People in the whole town were mobilized, and some small vendors who were doing business even closed their stalls and came to help. The most peculiar thing is that everyone's face is full of expectations and smiles.

It's like a big festival is coming.

"Is it an important holiday for the Kul Tirans recently?"

Ms. Shadow Guard turned her head to look at Nathanos who was sitting by the window repairing his war bow. The latter curled his lips and said:

"I don't know, Master, I'm from Lordaeron, and this is my first time in Kul Tiras."

"No, they're not celebrating a holiday."

A cold voice came from above.

The masked Mother Windrunner strolled down the stairs and explained to her former friend's disciple:

"Three days later, Pope Alonsus Fao of the Church of the Holy Light will come to Brennadam to hold a grand sermon on the Holy Light in this small town.

Four days later, the city will hold a princess title ceremony. The eldest daughter of the Proudmoore family who has just returned will be given a title by her king father in this city.

Five days later, the doctrinal debate between the Church of the Holy Light and the Church of the Storm will also be held here.

For the simple and tenacious people on this land, these three days will be more lively than any festival. They are starting to arrange the venue now, and there will probably be many foreigners rushing over tomorrow. "

"So that's the case, then I can understand."

Ms. Shadow Guard nodded and said:

"The Luna Celebration that we hold every ten years is also so lively. At that time, Mount Hyjal will welcome countless pilgrims, and the Priests of the Moon will hold the ceremony in a solemn manner.

However, I heard you briefly describe the current situation of this land last night. I don't think there is an atmosphere for such a grand ceremony here. "

"Those threats are a disaster for us."

General Liresa reached out and touched the window in front of her. She looked at the beaming people outside the window and said:

"Ordinary people don't see the shadows in the sun, they don't know anything about these threats. They shouldn't know, it doesn't do any good except scare them."

The Ms. Shadow Guard beside her nodded approvingly.

She clearly agrees with that statement.

After a few seconds, Mother Windrunner withdrew her fingers and whispered to Emmeril:

"Will you warn your companions, please? Especially the Priest of the Moon, she slipped into my room last night and tried to purify me. I was merciful, knocked her unconscious and sent her out.

But next time it won't happen again. "

"Well, you have to understand, religious fanatics are like that."

Emeril immediately became embarrassed.

She whispered:

"Not everyone can accept a dead spirit as a companion. Your resurrection from the dead, full of dark aura, is a taboo blasphemy in the eyes of the moon god priests."

"That's their problem, not mine!"

Windrunner's mother said indifferently:

"If they bother me again, I will turn them into my kind. You may not know, but the academy I work for has already achieved preliminary results in the research on the transformation of necromancers.

I might be able to 'borrow' it.

Believe me, the corpse of a fresh moon god priest will become the most desired 'material' of those lunatics, and they will pay me a high salary for it. "

"Well, I'll warn her."

Emmorel didn't think Windrunner's mother was joking.

She made a serious promise, and just as the two were about to leave, a watchman suddenly appeared beside the shadow guard.

The watchman glanced at Windrunner's mother warily, and whispered something in Emmoreel's ear, causing the ranger's expression to change immediately.

"What's wrong?"

Windrunner's mother noticed the change in Shadow Guard's expression, and she asked a question.

"Lane is missing."

Emeril grabbed his war bow and said in a serious tone:

"She left a message an hour ago saying she noticed someone spying on the camp and went out alone to search. But she hasn't returned yet."

"Lin Ge has only been dead for a thousand years! Has the Hidden Path degenerated from the Hunter's Temple to an undisciplined third-rate organization?"

Liresa's expression also became serious.

She scolded:

"I informed you of Stormsong's terrifying shadow last night. How dare she act alone? Perhaps it would be more appropriate for her to die outside, lest she become a drag in the upcoming battle."

"No, Ms. Lane Wolfwalker is a pretty good member of us."

Shadow Guard explained:

"She has been the spokesperson and leader of the Sentinels in the Kaldorei society for many years, and she is also an elite veteran of the Silver Wing Sentinels. She could have been awarded the rank of general, but she declined that honor.

She is a guardian of nature from Ashenvale, and she would never be so reckless.

If it is really the dark aura, she will definitely inform us in advance, and she can go to track it alone, which means that she believes that the guy who spies on us is not one of those dark ones. "

"Ah, this is even worse."

Windrunner's mother covered her eyes with a headache and said:

"If it's Bu Laike.

Damn it!

My naughty disciple has a strange desire to tease all elves, and as a master assassin, he hates active pursuit from others the most.

That would be seen by him as a provocation.

Let's hope he takes it easy this time! Maris! What are you doing in a daze, call Xiao Er, put on your magic disguise, and follow me quickly! "

Half an hour later, in the depths of Briarback Swamp beyond the hills southeast of Brennadam, Mother Windrunner led Shaw, Nathanos, and Emmoreel Shadowguard to kill ten people. A few wild boars blocking the way finally followed the "mark" intentionally dropped by the wicked Braike and chased them all the way here.

This swamp has a huge area and is surrounded by several hills. It is the biggest disaster in the local area—the wild boars occupy the wild land, and the locals will definitely not come here to play if they have nothing to do.

"Hey, mentor, and my two brothers, you reacted very quickly, it seems that you have received my message, and you are still as sharp as before.

This is really touching. "

In the depths of the Briarback Swamp, in a large cave that should have been reserved for the leader of the wild boar, Bo Laike, who was sitting on a rock drinking wine, saw the crowd walking in, and immediately cheered and opened his arms towards them.

Very enthusiastic.

If one ignores the elven ranger who was knocked out behind him and hung in the air in the cave, still whirling, this enthusiasm would be even more touching.

The armor on Ms. Ryan Wolfwalker was pulled off, and even the spear and bow were thrown on the ground, leaving only her close-fitting clothing.

Two of her warbeasts, a Graydale wolf and a spotted tiger, had been weakened by Laike's now elusive trapping skills and placed in the wooden cages where the wild boars kept their captives.

Apparently, this legendary ranger, who was embarrassed and humiliated even in a coma, failed.

Completely defeated.

The stinky pirate didn't even show signs of fighting, let alone being wounded.

Beside him, Maris stared at two strange dwarfs.

It was the first time he saw a mechanical gnome, and Shaw, who was shadowed by the mechanical gnome's "black technology", took a small step back. The last time he suffered a loss at the hands of these dwarves who possessed strange technology, it was enough for Shaw to learn to be cautious.

"Put her down! She's a companion! What a look."

Windrunner's mother scolded.

Bo Laike shrugged, and the magic eyeball on his shoulder glanced at Lane Wolfwalker who was hanging there above, and he said with a curled mouth:

"But she didn't say that.

She didn't listen to my explanation as soon as they met, she said that I had committed a crime against Kaldorei, and she was going to arrest me, and that after the trial, she would lead me to join the hidden passage.

Hehe, what a joke.

Can a small secret passage accommodate a 'big man' like me?

Especially after Ms. Namulia Linge died in the Battle of Quicksand, this organization has gone downhill for a thousand years.

Am I right?

Miss Yingwei, don't pout, I'm not mocking you.

I'm just telling the truth. "

The stinky pirate sat back on his rock, spread his hands and said:

"A thousand years ago, even General Shandris Feathermoon was an honorary member of the Hidden Path, but now? There is not a single outstanding elf hunter named.

Old Hemet was one, but he was a dwarf.

The 'Batman' I sent is also considered one, but it's a pity that he is an orc.

Nothing else.

There is also Ms. Ryan Wolfwalker, who probably stayed in Kalimdor for too long, causing her to be ignorant of the technological power of the new era. "

Bu Laike picked up a small electric disk from his hand, threw it in his hand, and said:

"I didn't even hold on to the bow. I just subdued her with a jetpack and an electric shock trap. Wow, you elf hunters are really tired of learning."

"Hey, Captain, the amount of shock traps you just dropped is enough to paralyze a giant dragon."

Trixie whispered next to her:

"This elf is just in a coma, which is powerful enough."

"Shh, I'm talking, shut up!"

Bo Laike gave her a stern look, but Trixie couldn't catch his expression because he was wearing a blindfold.

"Okay, Laike, we're down to business, time is running out."

Windrunner's mother shook her head and said something in a serious tone. The magic eyeball on Bu Laike's shoulder glanced at the silent Shadow Guard who was holding the bow tightly.

He shrugged.

Well, what I said just now was really hurtful.

This "little girl" among the elves took over the inheritance of the mentor, propped up the entire organization with her own strength, and sought to bring the lonely secret passage back to the peak. She is already considered a very powerful person.

This girl has a good personality and has a wide range of friends. During her game career, she helped the players a lot.

"I was wrong, I apologize, there is a lot to be done in the secret passage."

Bu Laike stood up and said something, then threw a shadow throwing knife casually, breaking the vines binding Ryan Wolfwalker.

"Stop pretending, Your Excellency Wolfwalker, you woke up five minutes ago, and you're holding a skinning knife in your hand, ready to sneak attack on me, but your 'fake death' technique is really amazing."

The smelly pirate took a sip of wine, pointed to his ear, and said:

"If it wasn't for my keen hearing, I would have been fooled by you."

"You might as well not say this apology. There is no sincerity at all."

Nathanos groaned.

Windrunner's mother ignored these things, and she looked around.

This place is very hidden, and Bo Laike certainly didn't choose it randomly. There are no tidesages stationed nearby, and there are quilboars outside to cover it. It's a good place to talk about things.

"Look at this map first."

General Liresa handed a map he had hand-drawn to Laike, and the latter opened it in his hand, and his expression became ugly. He said:

"It's only been over a year, and the situation has gotten so bad?"

"It's worse than you think."

Xiao Er was playing with a small flying knife beside him, and then said:

"The Church of the Storm seems to have sensed that a storm is approaching, and since ten days ago, they have been sending their members out for various reasons.

Judging from the information collected by the eyeliner of the Uncrowned, the number of high-ranking sea sages remaining in the Temple of Storms is less than two-thirds of what it was in its heyday, and the furthest ones sent out are probably all in the South China Sea now.

Even so, their local control has not been weakened in the slightest.

Among the mountains in the north of Brennadam, the defense of the sage fortress has been greatly strengthened in recent days. Many sea sages come in and out there, and the power of the sea protects it. Our people can't get in at all.

I can only guess that they are planning a conspiracy.

Finally, this is it. "

Shaw threw a letter over.

Bu Laike opened it and took a look. It seemed that it was just an ordinary greeting, but when he saw that the recipient of the letter was "Duke" Farrewell, the largest sea merchant in Kul Tiras, the pirate raised his eyebrows.

He said:

"Is this going to be a desperate attempt? Or do you want to jump over the wall? I have always known that Hai Xian has secret connections with some big businessmen, but this step is a bit too much, right?

This is blatant treason!

Dai Lin will not let this behavior go. "

"Unless the Haixians are sure to turn Dai Lin into one of their own before this terrible thing breaks out."

Windrunner's mother said in a low tone:

"Or get rid of him with a ruthless hand, and support a new king who is easier to control to be crowned.

Anyway, the system of the Kul Tiras navy and the sea sages has long been perfected, and the presence or absence of Dai Lin will not affect the combat effectiveness of the fleet too much. Dai Lin is too powerful, and he is not the best candidate for a puppet.

According to Xiao Er and I's investigation during this period of time, it is obvious that the Church of Storms feels some kind of threat.

Perhaps it is the threat from you, so they have already started to make two-handed preparations.

If they can't completely control Kul Tiras in one go, then it is in their interest to stir up the chaos of the sea and create a scene that is more beneficial to them.

The Church of the Storm is no fool, my disciple.

You secretly promoted the oppression of the Church of the Holy Light, and released Neptulon, the water elemental monarch, all of which made them feel malicious against them.

They have already started to act. "

"It's a good response. Unfortunately, it's too late. They should be faster."

Bu Laike flicked the letter paper in his hand, sneered and said:

"Well, the storm has blown, right here on this land, and I'm going to give them a gift to 'repay' those rats for what they've done for me and this country.

It's time for them to pray.

All prayers to their evil masters that they will ride out this storm I have created. Unfortunately, they couldn't escape.

Stormsong Valley is destined for some new graves this fall. "
