Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 93 3. Suggestions about strength (Part 2)

After the great warlock Gul'dan was killed, his soul was trapped in Bu Laike's soul lamp.

This thing is produced in Hell, with the power of death, and has no other attack attributes. It focuses on restraining the soul, so it is naturally powerful in suppressing the soul.

Except for one extremely evil soul, the "legacy" left by Gul'dan can be called rich.

Needless to say, the Skull of Gul'dan is the second piece of awesome legendary equipment that Laike has obtained so far.

The Heart of Gul'dan is also an excellent magic material, but it has been promised to Red Blackhand.

What remains is a pair of Eyes of Gul'dan.

These three things were left after Gul'dan's legendary body was corrupted by evil energy, and they all gathered extremely huge magic power. Compared with the other two, Gul'dan's Eye is a little less conspicuous.

This thing looked like two dark red glass balls.

If it weren't for the eyeballs from the Great Warlock, most people would definitely regard them as top-grade jewelry when they saw it for the first time.

But if Laike remembers correctly, the Eye of Gul'dan is also a necessary item in the legendary quest chain in the late game.

It's priceless, and best of all, it has two.

Bu Laike can use it for two different things, one of which is already reserved.

There is one left, which is just for the moment. Please ask Meili Dongfeng, a legendary figure, to help me plan for the future. By the way, I will brush up the favorability of this old man who can be regarded as the ancestor of all human mages.

But this demilich is very well-informed.

In the past 3,000 years, there are countless magical weapons, but it is just a legendary magic material, and in his eyes, it is probably an entry-level "favorite item".

"You young man not only knows a lot, but you are also so generous."

Meili Dongfeng, who was always bowed like an old man, stood up straight now, and took out a magnifying glass shining with arcane magic halo from his magic luggage.

Holding the dark red Eye of Gul'dan in his hand, he observed him like a jewel.

The old mage's expression didn't change much, just as Bu Laike guessed, this old guy probably has seen too many good things in his life, and has already become numb.

It's just the Eye of Gul'dan.

But his reaction was good, and after a few minutes of identification, he satisfactorily played the Eye of Gul'dan between his blotchy, bony fingers.

He glanced at the saber and skull in front of him again, and asked:

"Are these the two choices you face now?"

"Ok."

Because he was looking for advice, Laike was quite candid.

He put his hands on the table and said to the old mage:

"The Flame Blade Sanksu has been in my hands for a while, I have been exploring the secrets of this legendary blade, and now I have found some clues.

It contains some inheritance about the Fire Blade Sword Master.

According to my thinking, if I start practicing the warrior's way of wrath now, I can."

"No! You can't!"

Meili Dongfeng unceremoniously interrupted Bu Laike's narration. He stretched out his hand, touched the sharpened edge of the Juggernaut Blade, and said in a gentle tone:

"I can tell you right now that the Warrior's Profound Truth of Wrath and the Assassin's Path of Shadow are in conflict.

Before I died, in the war commanded by Emperor Thoradin, we humans did not just learn arcane magic from the high elves.

There is also the study of the path of shadows.

I have witnessed the whole process of the Ravenholdt assassins learning from the shadow walkers of the high elves, and I have seen how the prestigious Sangunar family in Quel'Thalas taught the first assassins of mankind to step into the shadows.

The inheritance of the Sangunar family can even be traced back to the ancient elf empire 10,000 years ago. They are the first batch of mortal blood in this world to step into the shadows.

Their inheritance has gone through thousands of years of washing, and it has proved that their understanding of the path of shadows is correct. "

Meili Dongfeng glanced at Bu Laike.

He said:

"You want to be a fighter and an assassin at the same time, it's not a question of talent limitations anymore.

This is about the starting point of the source of power.

The way of a warrior requires you to move forward bravely, forget fear and death, and have the courage to give it a go without fear of failure at any moment.

If you can't do this, you can't be a good fighter.

It's like I've been observing that unique orc these two days, Red Blackhand who made an agreement with you.

His blood is very good, I can feel the scorching blood flowing in his body through the body.

But if he is a real fighter, when you threatened Maim's life that night, he should draw his sword and fight you to the death.

However, he compromised.

Although this is a seemingly sensible choice, it is not a choice that a fighter should have.

So I am sure that Red Blackhand may become a famous chief in his life, but he will never become a legendary fighter like his father, Great Chief Blackhand.

He lacks the heart of a true warrior. "

The old mage shook his head regretfully, and continued to say to Bu Laike:

"But the road of shadows, you have stepped on it, you should understand the profound meaning of shadows, it requires you to hide in the dark, and you must guarantee absolute reason at all times.

I've lived a long time and I know a lot.

For example, how the Ravenholdt assassins taught novices, that was the rules their ancestors learned from the high elves, and then they learned and used the wisdom they summed up. "

Meili Dongfeng cleared his throat and said:

"As a qualified assassin, it is necessary to abandon all morality.

You don't need any face.

You are weaker existences than farmers and prostitutes. You hate fighting fiercely, you despise fair duels, and when you can't beat the enemy, you have to run away.

You can fight, but you have to escape.

The Way of Shadow requires you to learn to disguise.

Not just face!

And your real abilities.

hole card!

A well-understood assassin is an assassin on the verge of death, which is foolish and absolutely unforgivable.

There is nothing that you assassins who live in the dark cannot bear.

You don't pay attention to the process, you only want the result.

And this result is based on your own safety most of the time.

An excellent assassin will never stand under a dangerous wall.

So, as I understand it, if there is anything in common between assassins and fighters, it is the last point, if you are cornered, we have to give it a go.

But this is also one thing that all paths of power have in common.

Since you're looking to my old man for advice, I'll tell you:

Give up the way of the sword master, give up the way of anger.

That's not what you should be after.

You can learn from the brave warriors, learn their combat skills, learn their unyielding will, and learn how they exercise their bodies, but don't try to be them. "

The old mage pushed back the heavy sword, Bu Laike nodded, put away the legendary blade Sanksu, and put it back into the magic luggage.

He stretched out his hand to hold the head of Gul'dan, which was haunted by shadow and fel magic power, in his right hand, looked at the pair of black pupils, and said to Merry Dongfeng:

"Then your suggestion is that I can walk the way of a warlock?

As far as I know, in the way of warlock established by Gul'dan in the world of orcs, in addition to dealing with demons and fel energy, part of the power also comes from the shadows.

It comes from the same source as the shadow. "

"Well, based on my research results on warlock magic in the six years since Medivh and Gul'dan jointly opened the Dark Portal and the orc war started.

They do have a lot of spells that use the power of shadow. "

When it comes to the spellcaster, Meili Dongfeng immediately brought up the topic, and he said to Bo Laike in a tone like an old pedant:

"Warlock magic, it's really a magical genre, in fact, you said that warlock magic was first created by Gul'dan in the world of Dellano.

This statement is very imprecise.

As far as I know, 10,000 years ago, before the war of the ancients began in the ancient elf empire, there was a short period of magic that belonged to warlocks.

Those Highborne spellcasters have been learning the mysteries of fel energy from the demons since Queen Azshara established contact with the Burning Legion.

It was just the Battle of the Ancients and the fiasco of the Burning Legion that interrupted this trend.

In the high elf kingdom of Quel'Thalas, which inherited the high elf school of magic, the research on warlock magic has always been in a semi-public state. "

Meili Dongfeng laughed at himself, pointed to himself, and said:

"You don't think that with normal arcane magic, you can turn me into this demilich form after death, do you? So, warlock magic has been circulating in Azeroth longer than it has been in the world of Dellano The inheritance appeared much earlier.

It's just that Gul'dan and his like recklessly learned the mysteries of fel energy and carried it forward.

Not just orcs.

During the period when the city-state of Dalaran appeared and developed, human spellcasters also indulged in summoning demons and learning those forbidden knowledge for a period of time.

Guardians of Tirisfal like Aegwynn the Younger were originally born to suppress and hunt exotic creatures illegally summoned to Azeroth.

It was also because of the appearance of the guardian that suppressed the taboo trend of human spellcasters.

Uh, I'm old, and I always talk about those old things when I talk about it. Let's go back to the connection between Warlock magic and the path of shadows. "

Meili Dongfeng smiled awkwardly.

But Laike shrugged and said:

"It's okay, I actually like to hear these anecdotes, especially when told by a witness in the first person, these past stories will become quite vivid and interesting."

"Well, there are not many young people as patient as you nowadays."

Meili Dongfeng smiled.

The expression on his dead face also became serious, and he concluded to Bo Laike:

"The learning and growth of any type of spellcaster takes a lot of energy and time. According to my current research results, the same is true for the growth of warlocks.

Although this path does not require demanding talents like the orthodox spellcasters of the arcane school, it still has certain requirements for spellcasting ability.

So if possible, my advice to you is the same as that of the legendary assassin Garona, take the path of pure shadow.

The purer you are, the more the shadow loves you.

In fact, all roads to strength are like this, but I probably know your current situation, so if you have to take the second road, let yourself become stronger as soon as possible

The Way of the Warlock is indeed a good choice.

It's just that you'd better not put too much energy into it, and only learn shadow spells, and don't touch fel and flame spells.

In the past few years of the Orc Wars, I have occasionally carried out some small outings and explorations. I have seen too many warlocks who were immersed in fel energy and became crazy.

Each of them was full of confidence when they set foot on this road, thinking that they would become masters of fel energy and demons.

But you see it too.

Even Gul'dan would step into hell because of the temptation of that brutal force.

Their defeat is the best lesson for you.

At any time, you must be vigilant against the erosion of evil energy. That power will not only change your body, but also infuse your mind and will with venom like an invisible poisonous snake.

And by the time you discover the problem, you often can't go back.

Warlock is a road of sacrifice and exchange.

When you seek power, you must sacrifice not only the lives of others, but also your own soul. "

After speaking, the old mage glanced at the Eye of Gul'dan in his hand, shook his head, pushed it back to Bu Laike, and said:

"The question you asked is too simple, and the advice I give you is not worth the reward you give. You may want to use this method to gain my favor, but I would rather you bring me more useful knowledge.

This little thing is really interesting, too bad I can't use it. The fel energy in it will disturb me, it will stimulate the demon in my body.

So, young man, leave it for someone who needs it more, and then treat it as if you owe me a favor. "

After finishing speaking, the old mage nodded to the pirates with an elegant gesture that a spellcaster should have, and turned to leave with a pine staff.

The pirates had come to him for advice, and he had given his own, along with a few short stories for free.

The equal exchange advocated by the mage is completed.

Now it's time for Laike to decide which power to pursue.
