Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 888 218. Well, I knew this damn thirst for knowledge would kill me one day

"Little master, your complexion is unexpectedly good. It seems that you slept soundly last night."

Early the next morning, when the sun was shining in the early morning, Xalatas entered the captain's cabin with a breakfast prepared by the chef. She glanced at Bu Laike who was sitting up from the bed, and said teasingly:

"Single virgins like to sleep alone because it makes him feel satisfied? Or is there a secret date with his own hands that no one knows?

Speaking of which, you do have reasons to be wary of me. After all, your hands will never betray you, right? "

"Go ahead and laugh."

The pirate paid no heed to the malevolence of the grown-up jokes in Xal'atath's words.

He moved his shoulders and said:

"But I did sleep well last night, as if I were held by someone who reassured me, and you cannot understand the feeling, my dear Xalatath.

Because you, who see everything as purposeful, don't love anyone, you don't even love yourself.

I said it long ago.

If you are more sincere and less routine when you get along with me, I will accept you faster. "

"If I did that."

Xalatas put the fork and knife away, and made a "please" gesture for Bo Laike, and she said:

"Then I really want to be played by you in the applause, that means I will lose the fatal attraction to you, man, what you can't get is always the best, because distance creates beauty, and fantasy can make up for it defect.

Once you get it, no matter how delicious the dish is, you will get tired of it sooner or later.

Little master, no one knows your dark mind better than me, you are the one who really doesn't love anyone. "

Bu Laike stared at the red irregular stone on the dinner plate. He held it in his hand and looked at it in front of his eyes. After a few seconds, he put it away and said softly:

"I should probably give you a kiss, Angry Heart, I'm really starting to thank you."

"What are you waiting for?"

Xal'atath lifted Laike's chin domineeringly, and was about to kiss it full of anger.

next moment.

"Mr. Bo Laike, breakfast is here."

At the moment when the pirates did not refuse, the door of the captain's room was pushed open.

The reckless "chief maid", Taresa Foxton, a young girl who has no presence on board, broke in with a steaming breakfast.

Then she saw the breakfast in front of the pirate, looked at the breakfast in her hand, and finally took a last look at Xalatas, who was dressed in an Arabian style and looked down at her with her arms folded.

The latter pecked at the corner of the pirate's mouth just like a superficial touch, and tried to stick his tongue into his mouth, but was rejected by the ruthless pirate.

This is a little too fast.

But the chief maid who hadn't seen much of the world froze in place.

"From now on, the little master's breakfast, lunch and dinner will be taken care of by his loyal and powerful servant! That's me!"

Xalatas looked at the dazed little girl in front of her. She was very angry, but said majesticly:

"Little master doesn't need a clumsy chief maid. I can do everything you can do, and I can do everything you can't do."

She added another sentence.

Looking at Taresa's blank expression in front of him, Xalatas, who was cut all black, sneered in his heart, with a wicked pleasure.

She said in her heart:

"Yes, that's it!

The meaning of your existence has been deprived by me, little girl from the countryside, cry, cry freely, and then fear me forever, live in my shadow for the rest of your life.

you poor

Alas!

what happened? "

Before the Void Essence's malicious thoughts were over, she saw a bright smile suddenly appear on Taresa's blank face. She nodded vigorously, and stretched out her hand full of joy to stuff the breakfast plate into Xalatas. hand.

While moving her arms, Taresa said to the Void Essence with a dull expression:

"That's really great! I'm so busy, I have to take care of Miss Maiev recently, help her change clothes and prepare fruit juice, and also be responsible for the purchases and food schedule in the kitchen.

Sister Seifel said that she plans to assign me more work, but I'm already exhausted.

Good-hearted sister, it would be great if you could help me share the pressure, hey, this is what you said, and you are responsible for everything related to Mr. Bu Laike. "

The chief maid happily took out a wooden key from her bosom and put it in the palm of Xalatas. She said:

"There are two sets of Mr. Bo Laike's dirty clothes in the laundry room. You can wash them in a while and remember to dry them behind the poop. The Nagfar doesn't like me hanging clothes on its mast.

Oh, right!

And Mr. Laike’s captain’s cabin is cleaned three times a day, and the cleaning tools are placed in the captain’s cabinet outside.

At noon, remember to feed the 'Flying Shadow'.

There are also Frost Claw and Big Horn, they are both mysterious, always running back during meal time, and disappearing after eating, I don’t know where to go to play.

So you have to prepare three meals for them.

Frostclaw only likes to eat meat, and occasionally add some soul fragments. Bighorn needs fruit and honey, so don't put them in the wrong place, or it will get angry.

It takes a long time to coax well. "

Taresa babbled a lot, then raised her head to look at the big beautiful eyes of the black-robed sister in front of her, and asked with concern:

"Sister, do you understand?"

Xal'atath was speechless, and Bu Laike, who was eating breakfast with a suppressed smile behind her, said without raising his head:

"She's very smart, she understands, little Taresa. Go ahead, go about your business, you don't have to worry about me from now on. Also, don't write to Sal anymore.

Don't make it difficult for old Garney who can't send letters across the world.

As for finding a lamp god to deliver a letter, it’s too extravagant.”

"Oh, I see, Master Captain!"

Taresa responded energetically, and skillfully summoned her magic broom, carried it on her shoulders and turned to walk outside the captain's cabin.

But after walking a few steps, she turned back to Bo Laike and shouted:

"Well, Captain, I'm going on vacation next week, and I plan to get a good night's sleep in Tol Barad. Can you let your personal maid sister help me take two shifts?"

"Do not"

Xal'atath was about to refuse immediately.

As a result, before the words were spoken, Bu Laike "helped" her to answer:

"Of course it's okay. Although your sister Sara is a big villain, she is the most helpful. She knows how to please me, so don't worry."

"Thank you Captain, thank you Sister Sara!"

Taresa cheered, and ran out with the broom.

And Xalatas turned around with a face full of anger, and tore off the veil on his face with a swish, revealing Onyxia's charming face that could be broken by bullets. She looked at Laike and screamed uncontrollably arrive:

"Is that all you want to see me unlucky?"

"yes."

Bu Laike said without looking up:

"I'm a bad-hearted person. I'm happy when people are unlucky. Didn't you say that last night? You're willing to do anything to please me.

Could it be that you are just talking? "

Xalatas was so angry that he couldn't speak, the stinky pirate raised his head, glanced at her, and said:

"I said it all, be more sincere and less routine.

I was joking with you just now, Sefiel has already found someone to lead Taresa's shift, my first officer is not as incompetent as you think, she is doing very well in her position.

However, Taretha's words reminded me that I do need a personal maid. "

Bo Laike stroked his chin and said:

"You can't have Taresa wash your underwear. Although she doesn't care, I still want to face it. Then, Xalatas, my servant.

Would you like to be my personal maid? "

The pirate raised his head and looked at the frosty Xalatas. He blinked and said softly:

"I need you"

"you!"

The Void Essence really wanted to slap the breakfast in her hand on the face of the increasingly annoying stinky pirate in front of her, but in the end, she let out a sigh of relief and put on her perfect fake smile again.

She said sweetly:

"Of course, my little master, I am willing to be your personal maid, whether it is food, clothing, travel, or warming the bed, I will do it perfectly.

Come, this is the second breakfast of the day.

eat it. "

Xal'atath placed the second breakfast in front of the pirate's eyes, rubbed his fingers in front of him, and dropped strands of black shattered light into the seafood porridge.

She said maliciously:

"Eat, as long as you dare to eat."

"What dare not?"

Bu Laike laughed and said:

"Isn't it just adding some void debris? Do you think I, a pirate covered in venom, would be afraid of this?"

Say wow, the pirate grabbed the bowl and was about to pour it into his mouth, but was pushed down on the table by Xal'atath. She stared at Bu Laike and said:

"It will kill people. This is 'Ethereal Toxin'. The advanced use of void power in poison is the second lesson I teach you. Listen carefully, you naughty student!"

Xalatas had an expression of "There are ways to cure you" on his face.

She licked her lips and said:

"There will be an exam after the course ends, and I will prepare the test paper for you. If your score is lower than 70, my students, believe me, I will give you a lesson that you will never forget."

"you can not do that!"

Bu Laike said coldly:

"You are abusing the rules."

"No, no, it can be done without the law, my student."

Xalatas stretched out her hand, put it next to the pirate's mouth, and made a silent movement. She said softly:

"We agreed before that I will teach you the knowledge of the void. Dean Alya Lanyue taught you really well, and I will learn from her.

Now.

Put away that disappointed look on your face and start class! Call me Sister Tutor from now on! Do you understand? "

——

Two days later, in Thelsama, the territory of the copperbeard dwarves, Braike riding on a hippogryph was rubbing his forehead, while the recovered little murloc was sitting on his shoulder, croaking and admiring the snow-capped mountains in front of him. Green land.

Obviously, it likes this picturesque mountain with pleasant temperature.

But the pirates were not happy.

because

"The first stage of entry-level void knowledge assessment will be held in a week, my little master, in the past three days, I have told you a total of 27 void knowledge in three categories.

A week should be enough time for you to review them all. "

Xal'atath whispered in Bu Laike's ear:

"In addition to the test paper, I also prepared a spellcasting assessment for you. If the total score is less than 80 points, it will be considered unqualified. In addition to retaking the course, I will impose punishment on you.

But I hope you'd better not fail the spellcasting test.

You know, the knowledge of the Void is actively seeking you, and you have felt their echoes, and if you fail, you will fall into the Void.

But don't worry.

After you completely degenerate, I will 'love you' in the void, pinch hahahaha. "

After many failures, the Essence of the Void finally managed to master the "correct way" to communicate with Bu Laike. She used knowledge as bait and bound the pirates to a strict study rule.

She has become serious.

It's as if all the pomp has faded overnight, but this kind of seriousness is not what Laike wants.

Under the guidance of Dean Lanyue, the pirates' knowledge learning efficiency has been very high, but when dealing with the obscure knowledge of the void, the progress is still slow.

The knowledge that comes from the dark side of things is not the same as all the magic that Laike knows.

What's more, it's very dangerous.

Every study will trigger the echo of the void at the mental level. If the pirates relax their vigilance a little, they may be taken advantage of by the echo of the void.

The power of these pure void knowledge piles is pure, and pirates don't need to worry about being marked as corrupted like facing the ancient gods, but the pure void is also a threat.

In Xal'atath's words, the void is a mirror.

When you look directly at it, it will give you the most realistic reflection. But there is the dark side of all things that exist in the material world, and everything that comes from the void will have darkness attached.

The reflection it reflects is naturally not a harmless thing.

When Laike learned the Lore of the Void, he also heard the whispers of the mind, but those whispers were no longer from the visible Old Gods, and no longer represented corrupted evil.

Those whispers came from his mind reflected in the void.

In other words, it was he who was "speaking" and he had to learn to capture real knowledge from these whispers, not false information.

The more cunning a person is, the more and more complicated they will hear in the reflection in the void.

The true, the false, and the false are fused together. If you do not have the wisdom to distinguish the true, you will easily fall into the wrong temptation.

Go deep into the Void the wrong way, and the Void will reward you with even greater falsehoods, until you are stuck in error and your soul is twisted by forbidden knowledge.

At that time, there were only two roads left in front of Bu Laike.

Either accept the distortion, kneel down to worship the taboo, become a servant of the void, and completely integrate with Xalatas to preserve his last sanity.

Or give up everything, get lost in the void, and can no longer find the way to the world.

But the principle that the greater the risk, the greater the reward is also true in the power of the void. As long as Laike has been walking on the "right path", the void will give him valuable power back.

After just three days of study, the pirate's way of assassin and the way of warlock have a deep understanding of the power of legend.

Probably because shadows and shadows are the lower powers of the void, when Laike set foot in the reality of the void, his understanding of shadows and shadows was also greatly strengthened.

This is the way he must move forward, and he cannot retreat.

On all the roads of strength, Bu Laike never backed down.

After a ten-minute flight, Braike, wearing a hunting suit and a mask, rubbed his head, walked into the dwarf tavern in Thelsamar, and sat in front of the warm fireplace bar with a sense of exhaustion after studying hard. Dwarf bartender says:

"Warm my soul with a glass of wine for the weary learner, and treat my stomach with a delicious blood sausage. My thirst for knowledge is rumbling, and so is my stomach.

Also, I want to find out about some girls, there is a stupid girl with blue hair, she should be fine"

Before Bo Laike finished speaking, the loud dwarf bartender laughed and said:

"Well, you're talking about Little Star, that cute girl with a lot of money took her friends to fry fish on Lake Locke today. She even rented a boat."

Pirates are not surprised that Little Star can become a household name in a matter of days.

The little blue dragon princess has such a magical affinity, and he doesn't care about it, as long as he finds someone. He held up the wine glass exuding the aroma of wine, and said:

"Okay, fishing, this is the activity that should be done on vacation, but it doesn't sound like she would choose it. Wait, I seem to have hallucinations because of long-term study.

Either you mispronounced a word and confused 'fishing rod' with 'dynamite'. "

Laike put down his wine glass and "looked" at the dwarf bartender who was preparing delicious blood sausage for him. Beside him, the little murloc holding the wine glass had covered his eyes.

Bu Laike asked seriously:

"You just said, what did she do?"
