Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"boom"

The tall figure fell down after running for a few steps. It looked like a stone statue that had been pushed down. It was shattered when it hit the ground. No blood flowed out. Only the gray and white gravel left on the ground represented the dissipation of a strange life.

Blake stepped forward and pulled out the Wolf's Blade inserted into the broken stone statue. He then looked back and found it hard to imagine that there was such a large area of ​​urban ruins deep in the wild and humid Krasarang jungle.

The area of ​​​​the ruins is equivalent to several Qinglong Temples.

But obviously, no one has maintained the ruins of the buildings well, causing it to become dilapidated over a long period of time, and even the tall city walls have weathered into disrepair.

But judging from the size of the tall stone statues and collapsed palaces that remain in the ruins, it must have been very grand and magnificent in its heyday.

The style of the ruins is very similar to the tall buildings of Everspring Terrace. It is not difficult to see that this place also belongs to the mogu people who once ruled Pandaria.

"They despised the weakness of flesh and blood and chose to live as stone statues. After the afterglow of the empire was extinguished, these guys who were once created to build the world actually became miserable bandits.

It seems that loving strength is really harmful to intelligence. "

Blake kicked the head of the ferocious lion-like stone statue at his feet into pieces, then put the Wolf's Edge on his shoulders, and with a wave of his hand, in the magic power of shadows and flames, his inner demons, the Ereda twins, were temporarily " freed".

The two tall demon girls have no physical body, but the abundant magic power from the pirates allows them to maintain a form similar to that of a spirit body.

"There are still many Mogu people in the Duyang ruins. Go get their souls back."

Blake waved and said:

"Because you still don't understand my style of doing things, I would like to emphasize that you can keep 10% of all the souls you get."

"Only 10%?"

Orese, a high-level sorcerer with a flaming personality, folded her arms and screamed:

"You drive us sisters like dogs, but you don't even want to give us enough bones?"

"Then 20%?"

The pirate blinked and seemed to take a step back, but the dissatisfied Oreses continued to argue, but was stopped by her sister, Queen Saloras.

The Shadow Witch glanced at Blake and whispered:

“One thing gets done, we will do it right.”

"Oh, you are so obedient that I can't get angry even if I want to. I still hope that you idiot sister will anger me and give me a reasonable reason to punish you."

Blake rubbed his cheek and complained:

"It seems that the elder sister of the eredar twins is responsible for making suggestions, while the stupid sister is responsible for showing off and fighting? It's really a good cooperation model.

You guys want this, right? "

The pirate took out the Initiator's Mark from his bag, threw it in his hand, and said to the Eredar twins in front of him:

"It's not like I can't give it to you. After all, you are the source of my power now. It won't do me any harm if you become stronger.

It contains the evil magic of the Defilers, but some of it is based on the eredar's spellcasting methods. I hope you will learn it quickly so that I can gain knowledge from you.

Now that you have a powerful inner demon, you can't just let me do all the fighting. "

"Our bodies have been torn to pieces by you, and we have become lonely ghosts. Just like this, you still want to squeeze our wisdom and strength."

The Flame Witch screamed:

"The most despicable demons of the Burning Legion are not one-tenth as shameless as you."

"Thank you, thank you. I still have to continue to learn from the devils when it comes to the bottom line. You should learn more from your sister. Everyone knows how to respect me, the titular master."

Blake snorted and flicked his fingers.

The magic pattern on her arm shone for a moment, causing the flame witch who had been shouting to cover her head and howl in pain, and even the spirit body became distorted.

"Look, I said she will definitely irritate me. She is not used to the situation of being a slave and a prisoner. As long as you give her a little time, she will dig her own grave."

The pirate looked at the Shadow Witch Saloras. He threw the Enlightener Mark to her and said:

"Please give your sister more advice and help her recognize the reality. I am a very good servant to a loyal servant. As long as you don't cause trouble for me, I will give you a lot of freedom.

Go ahead, girls.

Do something bad to please yourself.

But remember to bring back enough souls for me. "

After saying that, he turned around and carried the Alpha Wolf's Edge and walked towards the depths of the Duyang ruins. After watching the pirates disappear, Queen Saloras floated to her sister's side and injected magic into her to help stabilize her body.

Looking at her sister's pain with a distressed look on her face, this more calm female devil said softly with reproach:

"Didn't we all agree? Don't offend him.

An evil being that can manipulate polluters into applause is not something we can disobey. Before receiving support from outside forces, we must learn to lie dormant and endure. "

"Appropriate resistance will make him relax his guard, sister."

Olaise's eyes were twitching as she was suppressed by the soul contract. She whispered:

"If we obey from the beginning, he will definitely be suspicious. We have to gradually make him relax his vigilance, and then look for opportunities to contact the legion.

He is not using a demonic contract. This strange imprisonment allows our power to be used by him, but our souls are still free.

He made a terrible mistake. "

"I don't have any hope for that."

Queen Salolas shook her head. She supported her sister a little decadently and said:

"He doesn't need to mentally manipulate us. The crazy void lady in his body can easily destroy and rebuild our minds. Our current thoughts may not come from our own thinking.

But I don’t want to experience the feeling of having my mind torn apart by the void again, my sister.

Maybe my desire to resist is not as strong as yours, but I still feel that we alone cannot defeat this evil one, and we have to endure until the Legion lands on this world.

Only by contacting the fraudster can we possibly regain our freedom.

We have put on shackles.

Although obedience is shameful, at least it will prevent you from being whipped again. "

"You must have been brainwashed by the void! Saloras!"

Her sister's weakness made the Flame Witch very unhappy, and she shouted:

"You were not this weak before. Maybe you should check your mind."

"I will."

The Shadow Witch held the Mark of the Initiator and walked towards the other side of the ruins. As she walked, she said:

"I suggest you also check your thoughts and your soul. Your unwarranted impulse is really inappropriate. You would not have been so reckless before.

Could it be that you are in love with this kind of tortured pain? "

"Shut up!"

"It's you who should shut up! It's your stupidity that has put us in this predicament. Just because I'm tired doesn't mean I won't beat you up, sister! You'd better not mess with me now!"

The two sisters just quarreled.

But in the end, he chose to work together to clean up the remaining mogu in the ruins. In another place, Blake stood by a spring. He had been observing the actions of his two inner demons.

When he saw that invisible cracks had appeared in the eredar twins, the stinky pirate raised his eyebrows happily and put away the demonic anima in his hand.

"A hint of fiery anger, mixed with a bit of cold despair, and finally a delicious spoonful of doubt, and the souls of loving sisters will gradually drift apart.

This thing is so useful. "

Blake applauded.

Miss Hisari Black Crow on his shoulder couldn't help but shudder. Miss Druid looked at the anima container in the pirate's hand with disgust, and she said in human words:

"In the past, you at least needed time to lay out a vicious conspiracy, but now you can inadvertently sow seeds of doubt. You are really becoming more and more annoying, Black.

You are really good at this. "

"You really give me a headache."

The pirate puffed his beard and stared:

"When I experimented on elves, you would definitely say I was cruel. If I experimented on small animals, you might want to beat me up. Now I am forced to experiment on demons. Are you still unhappy?

What do you want from me to make you happy? Wouldn't it be nice to use such evil power to deal with demons? Do you want me to destroy it to make you happy? "

"I'm just complaining."

Hisari's "arrogance" was completely suppressed by the pirates. She complained softly and said:

"No matter how you look at it, what you are holding is too evil, and any righteous person should stay away from it."

"This thing was obtained from the remains of an ancient god, but you use 'evil' to describe it. Are you looking down on it a little too much?"

Blake snorted, put away the anima container, and did not argue with his druid followers. He stretched out his hand to release the falcon and said to her:

"Go catch two rabbits, they need them alive."

Xisali spread her wings and flew into the distant mountain forest with a whoosh, while Blake stared at the strange spring water flowing out of the rocks in front of him. The sun shone on the water, reflecting a beautiful and cold light.

He took out the emblem of the djinn and rubbed it in his hand twice. As a breeze blew, the marshmallow-like djinn appeared next to the pirate.

"Let's not talk about business this time."

The pirate raised his hand, interrupting the Djinn's intention to ask, and said:

"Let's talk business. I have a big deal to discuss with you. Let's work together. You find customers, I ship the goods, and we get a 30-70 share of the profit."

"I think this distribution standard can be discussed again, my friend."

The djinn shook its fluffy and soft body, looked at the pirate with its blurry eyes, clasped its paws together and said unsteadily:

"Although I don't understand what you want to do in partnership with me, I think 50-50 is a very appropriate ratio."

"Hey, don't talk so much. You'll know after you read it."

The pirate snorted and leaned down to take a glass of water from the pool at his feet.

When Hisali returned to the pirates with the two rabbits, under the gaze of the djinn, Black condensed a shadow flying knife in his hand, and stabbed into the neck of the rabbit on his left with a pop.

The strike was precise, causing the cute rabbit to fall to the ground in an instant.

He laughed, held up the dead rabbit and shook it towards the djinn, poured half of the spring water into the dead rabbit's mouth, and then signaled Miss Hisali Black Crow to pour the remaining half into the living rabbit's mouth.

Under the gaze of the djinn and Miss Druid, something magical happened.

The living rabbit didn't run a few steps before twitching and falling to the ground.

Its vitality drained away rapidly, while the bleeding wound of the dead rabbit in Black's hand healed quickly, and came back to life a few seconds later with blank eyes blinking.

Moreover, its vitality was much stronger than before, and its body expanded in a circle, turning into a ferocious big rabbit.

"After roasting it, this fat rabbit will taste the best."

Black threw the big rabbit to Hisari and gave instructions, then turned back to the djinn and said:

"Look, this is the business I'm going to do with you."

He pointed to the pool at his feet and explained:

"This thing is the 'Fountain of Youth' in Pandaria's legend. It is said that drinking the water here will give you endless life, and in fact it is true.

As long as you don't care about other people's lives, then you do have an infinite life to enjoy. "

The pirate glanced at the ruins of Duyang behind him and said:

"This city is a remnant of the most prosperous dynasty of the Mogu people. It was once the most brutal city of the Mogu people and the city most likely to maintain the hope of the empire after the great Thunder God tyrant.

At its most prosperous time, hundreds of thousands of mogu troops lived here.

But look now, there are less than a thousand people left here.

There are no creatures in this jungle that can pose a threat to them. The main culprit for the destruction of the Duyang clan is this spring. Their warlord relied on it to survive until just now.

Well, about ten minutes ago, that stupid ‘undead’ was killed by my own hands.

This spring water can transform life force into another form and transfer it between different lives. The best thing about it is that it has no side effects and will not bring about physiological changes to the user like other forbidden magics.

It has no faults except evil.

And I want to sell this poison of eternal life to anyone in the world who desires it, and you are my best 'channel distributor', my dear djinn.

Do you think this business can be done? "

"This is a hugely profitable deal."

The djinn shook its body and smiled like a storm. It laughed and said:

"Three to seven, right? I agree! When do we start?"

"Of course now!"

The pirate pursed his lips and smiled, raised a finger and shook it, saying:

"But I promised the guardians of this spring that we must restrain the serious consequences it may bring. After all, immortality sounds very expensive.

Therefore, our pricing is also more expensive.

Just a glass of water can superimpose a complete life on another dying person and give him a second life. Such a good thing cannot be measured by money.

So my dear djinn, please tell our customers not to humiliate us with vulgar money! "

"Then how should we price it?"

The djinn asked doubtfully.

Blake held out two fingers and said:

"Two requests, one big and one small. The small request is yours. I don't care what you want him to do. It can be exchanged for money. You can decide the price.

But it is my request, he must do it!

No matter how difficult it is!

When he fulfills our requirements perfectly, people who long for eternal life will be able to get this nectar representing life. I think this pricing method will be perfect.

What do you think? "

"Ah, I've never done anything like this before."

The genie hesitated a little and said:

"I doubt the marketability of this 'Eternal Water'."

"Then let me introduce you to a potential customer."

Black laughed and said to the Djinn:

"In the powerful Barov family of the Kingdom of Alterac, although dear Count Barov is still in his prime, he is already troubled by the loss of energy and enthusiasm.

As far as I know, he has begun experimenting with the Troll Witch Doctor's herbs in an attempt to regain the energy of his youth.

But that stuff is poisonous!

We have to think about our client's physical and mental health, go find him and show him our 'gift'. "

The pirate took a glass of water from the pool next to him, handed it to the djinn, and said:

"When he regains his life, tell him that he owes me a debt. When he needs to repay the debt, he must not hesitate."
