Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Facing Black's invitation, the Archdruid seemed a little reluctant.

But there were only three of them in the cave, plus the legendary Queen of the Swarm, and Malfurion knew he couldn't escape. He wasn't worried about the pirates rising up and hurting people. He knew very well the limits of Black's current strength.

When he and Tyrande teamed up, Black could only kill one at most even if he tried his best, and under the watchful eye of the Moon God, a pirate would not choose to take such a risk.

The archdruid is such a warm man.

He specially summoned some vines to make a temporary bed for his resting wife, and then got up and followed Blake to the edge of the giant incubator.

Black carefully released a small barrier that could isolate the sound, then took his pipe and looked at the Archdruid.

He said:

"Although we have just met, I already know a lot. Maiev, Illidan, Hurn Highmountain, maybe even Queen Azshara, and you.

I know that I have been to 10,000 years ago, and I may have participated in the ancient war. I won’t hide it from you. I don’t know why I went there or what I did.

I guess you must have some taboos that prevent you from telling me everything, but if you have really met me and gotten to know me, you should know that I am a very curious person.

So I suggest you break some taboos today.

Because I have cards in my hand that can threaten you.

I wasn't willing to do it, but if I didn't get what I wanted, I had to take the risk. "

Black coughed and said directly to Malfurion:

"I know that you and Cenarius, the King of the Forest, are as close as father and son."

"You wouldn't do that."

Malfurion sighed, stroking his long beard dotted with green leaves and blooming flowers, and the archdruid whispered:

"Just because I know you, I'm sure you won't risk antagonizing the Cenarion Order, the Green Dragonflight, and the Wild Demigods all just to learn something from me that you will definitely know in the future.

Blake, all I can tell is that we are not enemies, and the person who forbids us from revealing information is none other than you!

It is you who have to make sure that the trajectory of your life is not disrupted.

Because you know that once it is disturbed, it will cause terrible and terrible things. You will lose a lot of things that you are not willing to lose, and all you can get are some prophecies that are meaningless to you.

You are a prophet, aren't you?

You know that disturbing the past is scarier than disturbing the future. "

"Ah, this is really troublesome!"

Blake said with a headache:

"I feel like my current self is competing with my future self, or in other words, my past self. It's probably hard for you to understand this terrible experience. It would be great if I were a bronze dragon.

You can call your past or future self for a chat at any time.

But since you said that, let me ask another question. "

The smelly pirate blew out a smoke ring and said:

"You just answer yes or no, and I ask the questions."

Malfurion looked at him with a complicated expression, nodded, and said:

“I will only answer questions that will not affect you.

If I remain silent, you should know what I mean. Tyrande will wake up in ten minutes, and it will be difficult for us to see each other for a while, so you don't have much time.

Try to ask questions that put you in a good mood.

You and I both know that you are actually a very nosy person at heart, but I don’t recommend that you waste your time, such as asking questions about the personal relationship between Tyrande and me.

This makes me feel like you have a bad personality again and are boring. "

"So, Tyrande doesn't know about my existence?"

Blake blinked and said:

"Only you and Illidan know?"

"Um."

Malfurion nodded and said:

"You have always had a problem with Tyrande. You have admitted it yourself. You don't like her way of doing things. You think she is reckless and brainless. You just got lucky and got Elune's attention.

You have always been aggrieved by what happened to Maiev, perhaps because of the complicated relationship between you and Maiev. "

"Have I seen Azshara?"

Blake asked with squinting eyes.

The archdruid nodded, shook his head, and said:

"I guess I may have seen it. Illidan said you must have seen it, but we have no evidence to confirm this, and Queen Azshara has never revealed any details.

We haven't seen each other for ten thousand years, so we naturally won't communicate about your problems. "

"I entered ten thousand years ago after the full-scale attack of the Burning Legion?"

Blake thought for a while and asked again:

"It should have been after Ravencase was assassinated? He didn't seem to have seen me."

"Um"

Malfurion nodded, but did not explain in depth. Obviously, this question touched some core.

"I haven't had any interactions with dragons, right?"

Blake took a deep breath and said:

"None of the dragon kings know me, except Nozdormu.

The issue of time cannot be hidden from it. Now I feel more and more that the bronze dragon evacuated the timeline not because I destroyed the integrity of time, but because the matter itself was arranged.

Was I sent ten thousand years ago by Nozdormu? "

"no."

Malfurion said:

"The Bronze Dragon King will never come back after he leaves. This is what you personally told me when I was young."

"I went there to save the world?"

Blake raised his eyebrows and said:

"Or for other reasons?"

"Do you think you're a world-saver?"

Malfurion asked rhetorically.

"Hey, don't play tricks like this on me! Don't answer rhetorical questions!"

Blake said dissatisfied:

"Guys like you who don't follow the rules of the game will be punished. Believe it or not, I will poke a few holes in your wife right now to calm you down?"

"Don't be angry."

The archdruid seemed to enjoy this feeling of "teasing" Black. He laughed and said:

"Of course you didn't go back to the past to save the world. You are far from that great, but you did go voluntarily. I also guessed what you are going to ask next.

I will answer you.

Yes! "

Malfurion took a step back, stared into Black's eyes, and said:

"The three people who destroyed the Well of Eternity. Me, Illidan, and you! This is my last question to answer you. Don't ask it again. The next area is something you shouldn't step into.

I believe Lady Elune has given you a warning as well. "

"No, Ms. Elune never cares about what I do. I'm just a wild child she picked up."

Blake snorted and blew out a smoke ring nonchalantly.

But he couldn't hide it from himself.

On the translucent character card in front of him, Elune's reminder was clearly visible:

Lady Elune advises you to stop playing this dangerous game, as it will make her think you are immature.

The two fell silent for the next moment.

Nearly a minute later, Black crossed his arms and said to the Archdruid:

"Then I won't ask about the past, let me ask about the present. Since you met me ten thousand years ago, I think you should have received my 'warning', right?"

After finally defeating his brother and winning Tyrande's heart, why did he spend so much time sleeping? In these ten thousand years, as long as you stay awake for a little longer, Tyrande should have at least one child.

You are so wasteful.

Might as well leave her to Illidan. "

"I refuse to answer that question."

Malfurion said with a dull face.

The natural war lines on his face were shaking, obviously because the annoying Black asked a question he shouldn't have asked.

But the pirate just raised his eyebrows and made a gesture to speak.

His meaning was obvious. If Malfurion really understood Black's character, he would have known that the stinky pirate would not give up until he received a satisfactory answer.

Under the pirate's gaze, the Archdruid finally shook his head helplessly.

He looked at his wife with tender eyes and said softly:

"It's not what you said, it's just that we made an agreement.

This was what Tyrande asked of me when she chose to spend her life with me. If possible, Tyrande doesn't want to hurt Illidan and I's feelings because of her.

But love is so unreasonable.

We were too young and too reckless, forcing our beloved girl to choose between us. Tyrande has been feeling guilty because she hurt Illidan.

She had wanted to reject both of us and dedicate her life to her beliefs.

This is all my fault.

I got my wife, but left my brother wandering all his life. We decided not to have children. This is our apology for Illidan's life in exile.

It is also my comfort to Tyrande’s soul.

She no longer needs to choose between Lady Elune and me. We already love each other, and offspring are no longer a necessary option.

What's more, we are elves.

We have eternity to spend with each other. "

The pirate stared at Malfurion's face, listening to Malfurion's words.

He did not doubt the authenticity of what the Archdruid said, and he also got the answer he wanted from this weird question.

He definitely did not tell Malfurion everything, such as the elves who would lose their immortality in the future, or that he prevented the destruction of the World Tree.

Of course, knowing this means nothing.

But at least it can give the Pirates a little bit of certainty about the future direction.

"Okay, that's all I want to know."

Black dispersed the barrier and said to the Archdruid:

"Go take care of your wife, and heal her pet by the way. The life link between the hunter and the war beast will allow Hahoran to absorb Tyrande's vitality to heal itself.

that process

Not comfortable”

He walked outside the cave and said to Malfurion:

"I'm going to Moonglade in a while. Will I meet you there? Maybe I'll want to talk to you again."

"Not anymore."

Malfurion shook his head and said:

"I will be stationed in Val'sharah next. The nightmare has corrupted the Emerald Dream far beyond my imagination. For a long time to come, the Cenarion Order will spend its energy on repairing the dream.

I would also like to express my gratitude to you for this. Without your prophecy, it would be difficult for us to prevent Xavius ​​from continuing to harm the Kaldorei.

So, I will express my gratitude to you in my own way.

You don't have to worry about Rendehui anymore. "

The archdruid shrugged and said;

"I will mobilize them all back to Val'sharah. Compared with the natural balance of the material world, the Emerald Dream needs the power of these compatriots who are full of faith and vitality."

"do not!"

Blake said in surprise:

"I think it's quite interesting to play with them. The Eastern Kingdom would be boring without these living treasures. Let's continue to let them stay there.

I also hope Gilneas can be more lively. "

"Are you serious?"

Malfurion glanced at him, and Black nodded seriously and said:

"I'm not kidding, let Ren Dehui continue to enjoy their vacation. When they see with their own eyes how the devil destroys nature, I believe they will explode with 500% destructive power.

I believe that every life in this world has its own meaning of existence. It is nothing more than whether you can discover their advantages.

Fortunately"

The pirate pointed to his eyes and said:

"I have eyes that discover beauty."

With that, he disappeared into the insect nest with a whoosh, leaving Malfurion and Tyrande resting there. After leaving the Queen Bug's nest, Blake continued to walk deeper into the nest.

Along the way he found many strange bugs.

They wandered around the nest aimlessly, as if they were drunk and had nothing to do. This was in sharp contrast to the busy bugs in the past.

Even when Black appeared and walked between them, he would not be attacked by the vicious Hive Guards. This was obviously a change brought about by Tyrande after taming Princess Hahoran.

Of course, it may also be due to the chain reaction caused by the other princess being tamed.

Under the "protection" of the insect swarm, Blake turned all the way into a very remote corner of the insect nest. There was also an incubation room here, but it could not compare with Princess Haholan's nest in terms of size or scale.

The smelly pirate walked into this remote and small cave, and immediately saw Windrunner's mother sitting on the stone platform at the end of the cave, resting, and the huge blue armored bug lying next to her.

That's Princess Yalki.

A "child" who is not liked by C'Thun.

Although it was born in the same insect nest as Princess Haholan and has a very noble bloodline, its treatment is obviously not comparable to Princess Haholan.

One look at this shabby lair will tell you the embarrassing situation of this princess.

"Huh? Why don't you see Princess Yalki's husband?"

Blake looked around in surprise.

There was only one insect in the cave, the innocent-looking but beautiful Princess Yalki, and there was no trace of the other two insects that were the "Three Lucky Treasures" in his memory.

But soon, Blake realized his mistake.

It was more than ten years later that Princess Yalki married Lord Kerry and gave birth to the "cute" baby Wim. Now Princess Yalki is still a single "lady".

"She's not ugly either."

The pirate walked into the cave and admired Mother Windrunner's new pet. He said:

"I like this blue shell very much. Speaking of which, mentor, has Staghelm left?"

"Well, he helped me tame Yalki and left."

Mother Windrunner raised her head and said to the pirate:

"He said he was waiting for you on Mount Hyjal. Whatever work you had for him to do, he would do it. He had only one request."

"Needless to say, I know that he is also a poor man."

Blake waved his hand and said to his mentor:

"Let's not talk about him for now. The matter of Moonlight Grove can be put on the agenda. I just confirmed that Malfurion will not be there for a long time, which is suitable for us to take action.

Now it's up to the tutor whether your daughters can complete their work on time.

I know you and I don't want to force them.

But after all, it’s not a bad thing, right? "
