Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Well"

Tao Ya woke up dizzy.

She had a terrible headache, and her overall condition was extremely bad, as if she had been cultivating for ten days and ten nights, and her thoughts were almost exhausted and stagnant.

The chin that was hit before didn't hurt very much, and the cold feeling on my body had dissipated a lot, but it just felt like my brain had been hit hard, and now I opened my eyes and was still a little wandering.

That is to say, she has been practicing the way of shadow since she was a child. While practicing her skills, she is also destined to cultivate her mind, which makes the mental heavy blow effect of the void weaken her a lot.

Otherwise, with the force of the punch Blake just punched, she would have been unconscious for at least two days.

But the terrible sequelae of void erosion still make Miss Assassin very uncomfortable. She is now unable to hit her spirit and can only struggle to escape from the restraints.

But what was unexpected was that she was not tied up with five flowers, nor was she handcuffed or shackled. She was just suspended in the air by a rope, spinning around in the air like a suspended rice bag.

"Hey, you're awake."

The damn voice came from below. Tao Ya tried his best to swing his body to turn around, but at a glance he saw the "bad boss" sitting on the chair in front of him, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.

The room was dark, and Tao Ya's good eyesight could only see the blurry shadow of Blake. He was still wearing a pretentious hozen mask and couldn't see his face.

But that weird mask can project his emotions at this time - a big smiling face.

It made people's anger soar.

"Don't be angry. I actually admire the heroes of the Shado-Pan very much. You see, you came over to provoke me and even attacked me, but I didn't hurt you, right?

I think this has proven my goodwill and my sincerity. "

Blake said in a gentle tone to Miss Tao Ya who was hanging in the air:

“But your commander underestimated me so much that he sent a lone girl of yours to spy on me.

Alas, you Pandaren are so honest. If this were placed in any kingdom in the Eastern Continent, or the Moon Goddess Kingdom in Kalimdor, those guys would be eager to send assassins from all over the country to try to kill me with their numerical advantage.

Of course, it's my fault too.

I didn't show you my strength in advance, which made you make wrong judgments. "

The smelly pirate shrugged, raised the hot teacup in his hand to the female panda assassin Tao Ya, and said:

"But I think when they find you, they will re-evaluate my power, and then we can start a new round of cat-and-mouse games.

I really love this kind of peer-to-peer communication.

Counting the time, they should be arriving soon, and it’s time for me to leave. Hey, why don’t you speak? "

Blake looked at Tao Ya in surprise.

He soon discovered his mistake. He hit his forehead with a headache, stood up, and took off the strip of cloth wrapped around Tao Ya's mouth.

He patted the panda assassin's round, furry face and apologized:

"I haven't recovered from my injury yet. It may have affected my brain a little. Don't mind."

"Let's capture him without mercy!"

After the blockage was removed from his mouth, Tao Ya coughed hard and said:

“My failure was due to poor academic skills, but the martial arts of Master Zhu Taran and several Shado Masters are the best in Pandaria. It is impossible for you to escape from their encirclement.

If you insist on saying that you just did bad things unintentionally, and you still have repentance and want to show us kindness, then you should show it with actions!

Although the demonic invasion of Qinglong Temple was bad, no one died. Qinglong Tianzun has always been kind, so there is still room for change in this matter! "

"Well?"

Blake was stunned when he heard this persuasion to surrender.

After a few seconds, he shook his head and said:

"Your voice is very nice. This unique timbre is the most impressive among all the girls I have come into contact with. But have you made something wrong?"

Blake reached out and tapped Tao Ya's forehead and said:

"I am willing to express goodwill to the Shado-Pan because I recognize the strength of you secret warriors, and I think it is possible for us to cooperate in the future.

But when did I say that I 'unintentionally' attracted the devil in Qinglong Temple?

Why do you think I am a repentant person?

Let me just say this, I came to Pandaria for my purpose. I only want to keep you here to send a message to your masters and masters. Don't stop me from completing what I want to do. "

The pirate took a step back, and his slender silhouette could be vaguely seen through the light outside the window. He pointed to the letter on the table and said to Tao Ya, who had a complicated expression:

"That's what I'm saying. If you still pursue me persistently, don't blame me for being rude next time we meet, little girl. I'm weak now, and I can easily knock you down.

If you are still stubborn, then when I recover from my injuries, I will demolish your Shado Temple!

Oh, right.

this is for you. "

Blake took out an unregistered emblem of the Uncrowned from his bag and stuffed it into Tao Ya's bound paw.

He whispered to Tao Ya:

"You can give it to Zhu Taran, or you can keep it. When the fog opens and the Shado-Pan comes into contact with the outside world, you will understand the meaning of this emblem.

You heard what I said just now. I am very satisfied with your stealth skills. I think you are also an assassin with a creed and deserve to be vigorously cultivated.

Therefore, if you really want to use the power gained from years of hard work to do more for this world, we, the Uncrowned, welcome you.

Of course, you have to go through a round of tests, difficult selections and tests of creed, and then the glory and wisdom of the Uncrowned One will be unlocked for you. "

"I do not need!"

Sister Tao Ya has a headache.

But he still gritted his teeth and refused Black bluntly:

"Pandaria needs me, and I have no intention of leaving my hometown. I don't want to participate in the trials of strangers to let anyone prove myself."

"Very well, keep that thought."

Blake snapped his fingers, spread his hands and said:

"You are destined to become a hero of Pandaria, recorded in the books of scholars and sung for thousands of years, little Taoya, but your potential is definitely more than that.

People outside call me a prophet because I can see everyone's destiny.

You have to believe that I am not just as patient with everyone as I am with you. You can do more powerful things and let other races in the world think of Pandaria and the Pandaren when they talk about you. .

You can become one of the representatives of your civilization.

In addition to Pandaren, there are many innocent people in the world who also need your protection.

You Pandaren have the Shado-Pan.

But people in the outside world don't have a group of martial arts heroes guarding them day and night.

The Uncrowned Ones I lead are a worldwide force. You can think of us as an enlarged version of the Shado-Pan. Of course, we don't always do good things.

What we seek is change.

Great change!

Therefore ‘good’ or ‘bad’ can become our tools and strengths.

I know that pandaren have great wisdom, and as one of the best warriors in Pandaria, you can rely on your own judgment instead of letting others tell you whether something is good or bad.

I mean, before you criticize something, you have to take the time to understand it, right?

Besides, there is no conflict between your joining the Uncrowned and your continuing to serve the Shado-Pan. The Uncrowned also need a local master in Pandaria to lead the wolves we are about to tame here.

I think you are a good fit.

But if you don't want to, I will also find someone else, such as He Softfoot, the secret protector of the Golden Lotus Sect. Their family is also a famous Rogue family in Pandaria.

Or those mantids, they are naturally good at stealth assassination, and they certainly don't have any psychological pressure on killing.

You see, no matter how hard you choose, it’s still the best fit for you, right?

So, think about it.

I look forward to your reply. "

After saying that, Blake exited the dim room. Outside the door, Zhou Zhuo, leaning on a scholar's cane, was already waiting for him. Seeing the smelly pirate coming out, Zhou Zhuo asked:

"Now it's time to tell me, where are we going?"

"Wist yarn plank road, Yongchun Terrace."

Black named a famous location in Pandaria. He glanced at Lao Zhou, snapped his fingers, and said:

"Go to His Majesty Shaohao's palace. According to your Pandaren legends, it was there that His Majesty Shaohao obtained the sacred knowledge and turned it into mist to protect this continent and his people.

Even his enemies.

That is the center of the ten thousand year fog barrier. If you want to open the fog, you have to go there. "

"You want to open the fog barrier?"

Zhou Zhuo was shocked, grabbed Blake's hand, and yelled:

"No! We're not ready yet!"

"Then how long do you think it will take for you to be ready?"

Blake glanced at Lao Zhou's paw and asked quietly. This question stopped the traveler and he was speechless. The stinky pirate said again:

"In four months at most, the Burning Legion will enter Azeroth, and the Second War of the Ancients will begin!

Do you think it’s better to open the fog now and give the pandas some time to prepare for communicating with the outside world?

Or is it better to keep the barrier until the demons knock it open and drive straight into your continent without you being prepared?

And even if I terminate the ceremony at Yongchun Terrace, it will take time for the barrier to be fully opened. It may take a month or two for the fog in the South China Sea to completely dissipate, and Pandaria will return to the world.

With the administrative efficiency of the Pandaren, I think this time is enough for you to be prepared. "

The smelly pirate put his hand on Lao Zhou's paw and said to him:

"If you are still hesitant, I can give you several more reasons, but I think you have the highest level of wisdom among the Pandaren, Lao Zhou, and I think you already understand what I want to do.

And the rightness of what I did.

See, the Shado-Pan says you're aiding the evildoers.

In fact, you are just protecting your hometown in your own way.

The fog is destined to dissipate. You and I both know this. In this case, why not take the initiative into our own hands? Passively enduring all disasters and turning a blind eye to well-intentioned warnings, is this also the ancient wisdom of the Pandaren? "

"Ouch"

The purple-red Xianglong Mishi next to Zhou Zhuo screamed twice and flew around Zhou Zhuo, making Blake laugh. The stinky pirate patted Mishi on the head, and Mishi almost bit off his finger.

But the pirate was not angry, he just smiled and said:

"Look, Master Mi thinks what I said is right, why are you still hesitating?

Let's go, let's go quickly, otherwise we will be surrounded by Master Zhu and the Shado Masters soon. With you as a dragster, it will be difficult for me to leave again. "

"You bastard!"

The usually gentle Lorewalker rarely used foul language. He clenched his fist and hammered the pirate's waist, blowing his beard and saying with a glare:

"Why are you so good at persuading people? Your mouth is filled with honey and poison."

"That is."

Blake whistled proudly, pointed to his mouth, and said:

"This is our special skill. Even a panda can't convince me. It's better for me to commit suicide as soon as possible."

"Ouch"

Following the roar of the Xianglong Mi Master, Zhou Zhuo's Xianglong soared into the sky carrying the Lorewalker and a weird guy, and quickly disappeared in the shadows of the shadow masters who were stationed at the edge of the bamboo forest and swamp. The end of the sky.

At this moment, Chiyan Tengwu knew that their plan was exposed.

He no longer hesitated and rushed into Huangliang Pavilion with the gathered shadow trace masters.

They soon discovered Tao Ya who was hanging in the woodshed. Teng Wu stepped forward and swung his sharp blade to put his companion down. He was about to help the weak Tao Ya up, but the panda girl grabbed his paw and said to him:

"Where is the leader?"

"The master is on his way."

Teng Wu helped Tao Ya out of the woodshed and comforted his companions:

"Don't worry, you managed to hold them back.

Although they ran away, the leader and masters would definitely be able to intercept them halfway. If the bad boss has something to say to the boss, he can say it himself in the cage. "

"No, it's not."

Tao Ya rubbed his sore forehead and said to Teng Wu:

"It's not that I held them back, but that the bad guy calculated the right time before leaving. I didn't even go through ten rounds in his hands. He is more dangerous than we thought.

I suspect that he is leaving now just to ambush the leader on the way.

You go and help the leader, don't worry about me.

I will go back to Qinglong Temple to rest. "

After hearing that Tao Ya was defeated by the stinky pirate within ten moves, Teng Wu's expression also changed.

He no longer hesitated, gathered his team members and called the Xianglong who was ambushing nearby to take off, and chased in the direction where Blake and Zhou Zhuo left.

Watching her companions leave, Tao Ya stood up unsteadily. She held the letter left by Blake in her hand and glanced at the emblem of the Uncrowned in the other hand.

Tao Ya hesitated.

She pursed her lips and thought for a long time, and finally carefully put the emblem into her purse, then mounted the crane Aqiu in Huangliang Pavilion and flew towards the Qinglong Temple.

She had rarely seen a guy as complex as Black in Pandaria, and she couldn't tell whether the pirate was trustworthy.

Therefore, she decided to hand over the letter left by the stinky pirate to Yulong Tianzun, and asked the Wisdom Tianzun to make a judgment based on her supreme wisdom. As well as the conversation between Blake and Zhou Zhuo just now, Tao Ya listened to it in the woodshed. Clearly.

The stinky pirate didn't even want to hide it from her.

Sister Tao Ya must convey the news that Blake is about to open the Mist Barrier to the Supreme God. This is no longer a situation that a mortal like her can participate in.

But it wasn't until the crane flew to the Qinglong Temple mountainous area that Tao Ya suddenly reacted.

All her actions after escaping from trouble were most likely part of the pirate's plan, and that guy probably used her to convey the news to Yulong Tianzun.

And he did it without even thinking about it.

hiss.

Is this the terrifying thought of the conspirators outside the fog?

Are all the bad guys out there monsters? ——

"Hiss, are all your great monks in Pandaria monsters?"

At the same moment, Blake stood on top of Master Mi's head and looked at the mysterious guy standing on the water below, blocking the way. He held his teeth and complained:

"I've only been delayed for a long time, and this bastard is already stuck in the road. I really don't want to fight him. But, forget it, let's just move the body to speed up the recovery."

With a leap of faith, he landed on Master Mi's head and said to the wide-eyed Zhou Zhuo in the air:

"You go first, to the shore of Mifeng Orchard."

"I will meet you after I take care of Zhu Taran."
