Shadow Trails in Azeroth

At noon, the "Magic Salon" held by Ms. Aegwin finally came to an end. Dean Blue Moon and Merry were both busy, so they left first.

Black saw Dean and Aegwynn exchange crystal balls.

This is the magic version of "Add WeChat". It seems that strong women will always attract each other.

Although it was a joyful thing for Ms. Aegwynn to find her old best friend, the news brought back by Blake made the former guardian who had just been relieved for a long time feel in a bad mood again.

"A bunch of sandfury trolls? Came all the way here to steal my Abyss Crown?"

Aegwynn looked at the frozen Sand Fury Water Diviner Veresa at her feet, and a cold light suddenly flashed in her eyes. A ball of light like a thundercloud gathered in her hand, and she was about to stab it.

But Blake stretched out his hand to stop him.

The pirate whispered:

"It's useful for me to keep her. The next stop is to go to Zul'Farrak, and we are in need of a guide. Don't look at her weakness, this blue-haired troll is still a Loa priest.

She has a very noble status, and killing her here will cause you trouble. "

"There won't be any trouble."

The Archmage of Elam standing behind Aegwynn had a frosty face. He looked at the troll at his feet and said quietly:

"I still have some connections in Dalaran. Maybe I should borrow a team of battle mages and take advantage of my vacation to visit the Sandfury Trolls. Their hands are stretched a bit too long."

"You'd better enjoy your vacation, and you'll be busy when the college starts again."

Blake shook his head.

He said to Aegwynn:

"Madam, I am willing to help you solve this trouble. I heard her say that you were targeted by those trolls when you went to Gadgetzan to purchase.

The situation of the Sandfury Troll's holy beast is in bad condition, and a guy named Zul the Sandwalker also got a reminder from the Dark Prophet Zul.

They need your Abyss Crown to save their sacred beast.

This is a big job.

Do you know what I mean? "

Aegwynn glanced at Blake, reached out and took off a string of gorgeous jewelry from his neck, stretched out his hand without looking, took off the jewelry and threw it to the pirate.

explain:

"This is the Crown of the Abyss. Now it belongs to you. If I hire you, I have only one request."

"Please say."

Blake admired the Abyss Crown in his hand and asked.

Aegwynn's tone became cold for a moment, and she seemed to have returned to the attitude of the ruthless guardian who dared to confront the Dark Titan head-on. She said:

"That Sandwalker Sur! And all the Sandfury Trolls who have the idea to act must disappear! If you still have time and energy, go to Dazar'alor for me to visit the Dark Prophet.

Convey my words to him.

If there are any clues related to me in any of his future prophecies, I will be happy to send my last servant, the Maid of Guards, to temporarily put aside her work as a guard and go to the court of the Zandalari Trolls to pay my respects to the Golden King. Chen Lisu'. "

"No, no, no!"

Blake's eyes jumped when he heard the name "Guard Maid", and he waved his hands and said:

"Let her continue to stick to her position. The Dark Prophet is a wise and reasonable person. I believe that he can understand your difficulties.

As for the Sandfury Trolls, don't worry, I will definitely carry your warning.

But how to use this Abyss Crown? "

The pirate looked over and over at the magic pendant in his hand. The character card could only give a rough description. It was a legendary jewelry, but it did not have any attribute entries or item effects.

"It is just like the Tide Stone in your hand. It is a rare thing belonging to the sea."

Aegwynn glanced at her son, who was being held to sleep by Taresha next to her. A gentle expression appeared on her face, and she explained to the pirate in a soft tone:

"That's something I made when I was young. I used it to raise or lower the Tomb of Sargeras that sank at the bottom of the sea. It can control the sea water.

But the biggest effect is to temporarily change the terrain and environment of a place.

I've heard of the sacred beast of Zul'Farrak.

Those sandfury trolls were so confused that they insisted on placing a Loa belonging to the sea in a scorching desert. No matter how powerful the beast was, they could not withstand such treatment.

They want the Crown of the Abyss, probably to create an underground lake for their holy beast under the desert city of Zul'Farrak, and at the same time solve the Sandfury clan's daily water supply. "

The former guardian shook his head and said:

“I have lived here for decades and have some knowledge of the situation in the Tanaris Desert, where the water sources have been drying up for unknown reasons.

According to my guess, it should be related to the spreading Qiraji nests in the southern part of the great desert. "

"Well, that's a reasonable guess."

Blake played with the Abyss Crown in his hand and said with a sigh on his face:

"Speaking of the Sandfury Trolls, they were once a prosperous and powerful clan. After the Troll Empire's tragic victory in the war with the Insects, they voluntarily stayed on the battlefield to guard the borders for the Empire.

Now I'm trapped in that desert. It's so miserable.

However, the Sandfury Trolls are doing well. I heard that in the Golden King's court, the general who now controls the Zandalari Sword Guards is a warrior from the Sandfury clan.

No wonder the dark prophet Zul wants to make prophecies to the Sand Fury Trolls, they are very proud. "

"I don't care about this!"

Aegwynn shook her head and said sharply:

"It would be fine if I was the only one here, but now my child is here, and the sneaky actions of these giant devils have threatened my son's safety.

As a mage who has lost his power, it is difficult for me to guarantee that my child will not be implicated in their attack.

Blake!

If you take my things, you must do what I ask for! I have given enough to this world, but if they are going to reach out to my lost son

I will let them know what it means to be disabled! Tolerate! "

The last two words were spoken through clenched teeth, and the surge of magic power caused the entire swamp around Shuiyue Manor to shake. Obviously, the "weakness" that Aegwin calls himself is not the same word as the "weakness" that most people understand.

"I can completely understand your needs, and I also know how to implement them. Please rest assured, I have always been very ethical in this regard."

The pirate promised and put the Crown of the Abyss in his bag. He glanced at the clean rooms around him that were cleaned up by Moros, and then at Aegwynn and Elan.

explain:

"Then I won't disturb the two of you enjoying your family happiness. I will leave now. Please wait for my good news."

After saying this, he said goodbye to the two of them, then turned and left. His elemental servant also followed the pirates out of the manor with the frozen troll hydromancer, and was ordered by Black:

"Aquilien, my servant, take my prisoner back to the ship and tell Sephiel that I won't go back to eat tonight. I'm going to the depths of Dustwallow Marsh. Well, hunting!"

I'll be back on board tomorrow to get my boat ready to sail.

Let the boatswain Finna, the second officer Little Star, the spellcaster Sachiel, the marine commander Heya and the shield girls be ready for battle. The next step will not just be a simple adventure.

We've received the bounty and our employer has generously paid for it, and it's time to fulfill our responsibilities. "

The elemental servant purred in response, waved his hand and picked up the block of ice that imprisoned the prisoner, turned around and swished into the swamp, speeding towards the seaside.

As for Blake.

The stinky pirate watched his guards leave, and his face suddenly fell.

Any talk of hunting is a lie.

Next, he has to fulfill a terrible agreement, in the dragon's lair belonging to Her Royal Highness Princess Onyxia in the deepest mountains of Dustwallow Swamp.

Xal'atath, who has not seen anyone in recent days, must have been prepared there, like a hungry dragon in all aspects, waiting for delicious prey to come to his door with his mouth wide open.

Stinky pirates are very reluctant.

But if there is any way, I have agreed to it.

The pirate melancholy summoned a hell horse and galloped alone on the angry road in Dustwallow Swamp, kicking the horse under his feet as he walked.

It’s not that it’s too slow, it’s that it’s too fast.

Walk slower, take small steps forward, isn't it fun to catch fish? Why are you in such a hurry? Do you also want to watch me being sent to that damn dragon's lair like cooked sushi?

The stinky pirate complained silently in his heart.

On the way to the dragon's lair, Blake sensed the beacon of death prophecy again.

Maiev is no longer on Watch Island, and the current coordinates of that stinky woman should be in Stranglethorn Valley on the eastern continent.

She seemed to be heading towards the Dark Portal in the Cursed Land.

She is going to the world of Draenor to detect the movements of the Burning Legion. Her behavior pattern has always been easy to predict.

I don't know if she knows that Blake can clearly sense her location in the entire world, just like a pervert putting a sensor collar on an innocent girl.

The stinky pirate didn't even know why he suddenly thought of Maiev at this time.

Perhaps it was because the situation he was facing now was very similar to the situation on Eagle Claw Peak that day?

Well.

If Maiev was waiting for him in front, it wouldn't be impossible.

After all, it's not the first time.

It's shameful to avoid this kind of thing, but it does work.

"Alas, it turns out that comparison is still harmful."

Blake was sitting crookedly on the saddle, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and while riding the horse forward, he poured it into his mouth. He was now eager to get drunk.

As long as you are drunk enough, you don't need to be afraid of any difficulties.

Damn life has forced him into what he is now, and the heavy pressure has bent the back of the stinky pirate. If possible, who would be willing to dedicate himself to the peace of this world?

Or dedication in a physical sense.

Although, Onyxia is definitely not ugly in every aspect.

Blake's psychological activities along the way were very, very complex, and he even felt ashamed to talk about life with other women behind his girlfriend's back.

But no matter how long the journey is, it must come to an end.

Even though the pirates have been restricting the speed, for the hell horse that can gallop quickly on any terrain, a mere swamp really cannot prevent it from taking its owner to the destination.

At dusk, when the first ray of night fell, Blake could already see a scorched valley ahead.

It was also part of the swamp, but there was scorching power emanating from it, which flattened it into a piece of black scorched earth. All kinds of plants remained in a burned state, and there were streams of smoke emanating from the dead leaves and branches.

In the pirate's memory, there should be many black dragon cubs circling around here, and some black dragon cubs who followed Onyxia settled here.

But when he actually came, he found that there was nothing around him.

Those young dragons and young dragons are no longer here. When the Black Dragon Legion left the world of Azeroth, they took away all the valuable members. The remaining ones should be in Blackstone Mountain.

Her Royal Highness's lair has been essentially abandoned.

Blake curled his lips and glanced at the bones of various beasts buried under the valley floor, as well as the defeated skeletons of giant whales in the sea that were captured and eaten, half-buried under the swamps on the edge of the valley.

It fully proves the "good appetite" of the owner of this place.

He rode into the valley and walked straight towards Onyxia's lair. This princess was a beautiful black dragon, and the entrance to her lair was different from other black dragons.

She specially set up a mechanism to carve the intertwined rocks into the shape of dragon's teeth, staggering up and down to protect the road to the dragon's nest.

But few people come to this poor place, Dustwallow Swamp. It belongs to a wilderness area within a wilderness area. She made such a strangely beautiful lair just for the blind.

"get out."

The pirate jumped off the saddle of the war horse and kicked the mighty war horse, which breathed fire from its nostrils. The latter neighed and disappeared in the reverse sending of the summoning ceremony.

This dog seemed to sense that the pirate was going to be in trouble, and his neighing was filled with joyful celebration when he left. The pirate was so angry that he wanted to summon it back and give it two more blows.

But here we are, how can we say that the stinky pirates are people we dare not face?

He drank the last sip of wine from the flask, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to "knock on the door", but as soon as he raised his hand, the door of the dragon's nest closed in front of him opened up and down with a rattling sound.

A path leading to the interior of the lair was revealed.

In front of Blake's eyes, Xal'atas, who was wearing a black robe and dressed extremely dignifiedly, was greeting the stinky pirate who came here to guide the work in a humble and respectful manner.

She didn't say a word, but her sparkling eyes revealed a sense of joy and anticipation that came after all the hardships, as if she was about to swallow the stinky pirate in one gulp.

It's not easy, we have finally reached this point.

"Your place is not bad."

Blake said something against his will.

Walking towards the Dragon's Nest smelling of alcohol, the heat gets hotter the further inside, the magma drawn from the center of the earth flows along the ravines of the cave, and the orange light is a natural light source.

It gives this place a mysterious temperament in the darkness.

"Didn't I say before that you sent a dragon who is loyal to you to guard here?"

The pirate felt it from side to side and said:

"Where did the dragon go?"

"You'll see it in a moment."

Xal'atath chuckled and said:

"Want to have dinner first? Take a shower first? Or..."

"Okay, stop playing."

Blake rubbed his forehead and said:

"Let's finish our work quickly. We have to leave for the Tanaris Desert tomorrow. Although the Sandfury Trolls are in despair, they are not easy to deal with."

"Aren't they just a bunch of trolls? If you need anything, I will satisfy all your needs."

Xalatath said something meaningful.

She led the pirates into the deepest part of the dragon's lair, a huge cave wrapped in magma, where Onyxia slept. But today's place is completely different from the empty space of the past. It has been decorated with great care.

Those Moon God emblems that came from unknown sources, as well as the Elf-style cabinets decorated with wood, the table, the Elf wooden bed placed in the center, and a decent Moon God sculpture.

Blake looked confused at this scene.

He glanced back at Xal'atath, who had a weird smile and unbuttoned his black robe, revealing the moonlit armor underneath.

The pirates gasped at this scene.

But Xal'atas behaved very dignifiedly and did not step forward to seduce him. Instead, he stepped forward with cat steps and stepped on the warm "black carpet" under his feet.

She clicked on the combat boots on her feet, put on a cute posture, and said to the pirate:

"Master, do you think my new carpet is beautiful?"
