Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Well?"

In the evening, the sleepy little Xingxing opened the door. She suddenly remembered that she had left Eragon outside today and had not taken it back, so she planned to retrieve her little pet.

But as soon as she opened the door, she saw the Mogu queens walking hand in hand into the cabin next to hers. The two shrunken Mogu ladies were still discussing whether this ghost ship was worthy of their "royal majesty". ".

She ignored the stunned little Xingxing beside her the whole time, and was full of the arrogance that a queen should have.

Little Xingxing didn't wake up until the cabin door closed.

She widened her eyes and pinched herself again. The slight pain in her arm told her that she was not dreaming, so the little star disappeared from the place with a whoosh, and used precise teleportation to send herself into the captain's cabin.

"No, bad captain! Those two mogu women found out that we had lied to them, and they came to our door! They hid next door to me and tried to assassinate me. I was scared to death!"

"What do you mean, people are trying to assassinate you? They really wanted to assassinate you and you just sent it to them in person, and there's still the possibility of them coming to tell you a joke?"

Blake, who was sitting in his chair and talking to Xiao who was wearing a crane feather cloak across from him, looked helplessly at the little star who was still awake. He held his pipe in his mouth and said:

"Also, I have just invited these two majesties on board the ship. You should be polite to them and ask them how Thor used Thunder Heart back then.

Maybe you can learn a one-and-a-half-move or something. "

"oh."

Little Xingxing responded, and then saw Xiao sitting opposite the pirate. She exclaimed and protected her body, which was only in pajamas.

But then he remembered that Shore wasn't interested in women, and he relaxed again.

He also said hello to Xiao generously, then opened the door and walked out.

"Your daily life is so fulfilling and lively."

Xiao watched Little Star leave, then turned back to Blake and said:

"Aren't you tired of carrying a group of problem children around like this every day?"

"It's okay, you'll be fine once you get used to it."

The smelly pirate coughed, lowered his head and blew out smoke, and then said:

"Continue to talk about the topic just now. Regarding the 'hope of victory' that your child king said he found in Pandaria, I roughly guessed what the 'oracle' he got was.

But I can’t tell anyone else this news at the moment, I can only show it to you. "

Blake opened the drawer, took out a document and handed it to Shore. The latter sat up straight, took it and opened it. After just one glance, his expression suddenly became serious.

He spent a few minutes reading the documents in his hand, then raised his head and said to the pirate:

"Can you confirm the effect of that thing? Can it really allow humans, dwarves and gnomes to get rid of the curse of flesh and blood, advance, or return to their original powerful form without any side effects?"

"I can basically guarantee it."

Blake put his chin on his hand and replied:

"But you also saw the explanation clearly stated in the document. This is just a concept at the moment, and its theory is derived from the homing bomb we used in Stormsong Valley.

It was a first-generation product with serious side effects. Currently, only Daelin Proudmoore is the surviving 'test sample'.

Moreover, Dai Lin's situation at that time was very complicated and could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

His situation is impossible to replicate.

Now the engineer under my command tells me that he is confident that he can transform the unstable homing bomb into a controllable mode by relying on the data knowledge copied from the Nalak'sha engine.

But it takes time.

Moreover, after the production is completed, a suitable test site and experimental individuals are also needed. "

At this point, the pirate paused.

He glanced at Shore and said:

"Perhaps you could help me arrange it?"

"This kind of thing can only be used as a plan for emergencies and cannot be aimed at results."

Xiao shook his head and said:

"I can understand the significance of the emergence of this thing, and I can also understand how important it will be once the war starts, but... I have my own difficulties."

"I can understand that life cannot be measured, let alone be used as a means to achieve certain ends."

The pirate waved his hand and said:

“Then let’s use it as a plan.

I'll wait until the war starts to find a chance to test it. I don't expect to use it as the bottom card. I just want to tell you that you have got what you came to Pandaria to pursue.

You can go back and report back to the Child King, continue to maintain your 100% mission completion rate, and make him proud of you.

Also, I may be passing through Stormwind City in a short time. "

Blake took off his jade pipe and said to Shore, who suddenly raised his head:

"I plan to drop by to see Lothar. Can you help me make arrangements?"

"That's no problem, as long as you keep a low profile."

Shore nodded.

He said:

"Actually, King Varian has always wanted to see you again. He is deeply impressed by you. He cares about the Kingdom of Stormwind. He may need some advice from the prophet.

For my sake, would you like to arrange a royal dinner for you? "

"Eating, okay! Prophecy, no."

Blake shook his head and said:

"I am also a famous person now. You know, any magician who has a certain status and fame will bear the burden of idols, and your King Varian is not a person who will obey the destiny.

I don't want to make predictions for such a guy.

I didn't bother to argue with them. "

"Ha, that's between you and His Majesty Varian."

Shore stood up, pulled his beloved cloak, and said to Black:

"I will be responsible for completing the invitation. I can't guarantee whether I can get the prophecy of the pirate prophet. I will get off the ship when passing by the waters near Kul Tiras. I will find my own route back, so I won't bother you."

"Hey, the leader of MI7 also has idol baggage."

Blake said in a long voice:

"What? Will showing up with a stinky pirate like me undermine your dignity? Lord Shore?"

"Why do you think so?"

Shaw glanced at the pirate with a strange look and explained:

"I just stopped by Kul Tiras to handle some official business. If you want to know, I can tell you about the Ashvane family's secret transfer of family assets to the Kingdom of Stormwind.

The Naval Intelligence Office under His Majesty Dai Lin has been cooperating with us, and this time we went there just to exchange the information we both have.

In addition, the Navy of the Kingdom of Stormwind also plans to send a group of cadets to the Kul Tiras Naval Academy, and I will also be responsible for helping them establish good relations. "

"Why are we sending students to Kul Tiras?"

Blake leaned back in his chair and said with a smile:

"Tol Barad also has a 'Naval Academy'. Because of our relationship, I can give your students a 20% discount, and the learning effect is absolutely first-rate.

You know, trash can't survive two battles here.

Going to the Kul Tiras Naval Academy to learn how to live on the sea is just Tuyile. If you really want to learn naval warfare, we pirates have to come! Absolute practical training with outstanding results.

Don't you think about it?

Speaking of which, I am currently preparing to recruit a group of desperadoes to go to the North Sea to serve as cannon fodder for me. This is a great opportunity to mix in sand. You won't miss it, right? "

"How do you know that there is no spy of mine in your fleet?"

Xiaoer smiled implicitly.

He waved to Blake and prepared to leave.

After taking a few steps, he looked back at Blake and warned in a low voice:

"Also! Stop arranging things between Chi Jing Tianzun and me. Nothing happened between us! And you are dancing on the line of fire. You know that I can't be angry with you, but Chi Jing Tianzun is not necessarily. "

"What are you afraid of?"

The pirate snorted and said:

"I have a good relationship with Chi Jing Tianzun. You should hurry up and go about your business. We will see you in the Kingdom of Storm. Then you must do your best to be a landlord.

By the way, I would like to tell your grandmother, who is always strong and healthy, not to cause trouble for me when the time comes. "

Xiao nodded, pulled up the hood of Heyu's cloak, opened the door and left.

In the captain's room where only one person was left, Blake laughed a few times in a weird tone, and then glanced at the empty captain and Xal'atath, who was sleeping soundly in his heart and had no plans to wake up for the time being.

He suddenly felt a little melancholy.

Sephiel temporarily left for a few days due to official business, and is now in the sea southeast of the Emerald Forest, where he is helping Kane and the others hunt down the hiding buffalo man Vulcan. It may take a day or two to come back.

Without the company of the first parasaurus, Blake was rarely lonely.

He stood up and walked to the window, opened the window and looked outside, just in time to see the little star calling his starlight dragon pet on the deck, and Eragon, whose body was shining with starlight, was flying gracefully from the night sky.

But the strange thing is that there is a drunken little fish-man sitting on the head of the Starlight Dragon. I don't know how Benbolba reached an agreement with the brainless Eragon.

What an amazing little guy.

The pirate lay beside the window, looking at the bright moonlight above his head. His mind wandered a little far, and he subconsciously activated the [death prophecy] he had given long ago.

Following the prophecy mark, he could feel the location of his hunting "target" at this moment.

Maiev Shadowsong was far, far away from this world, so far away that even the perception of the death mark became blurry, but he could still feel the weak heartbeat of the life under the mark.

This feeling is amazing.

The pirate raised his head and looked at the stars under the moonlight. He couldn't help but guess whether Maiev was in one of the stars above his head.

You can still feel the "bond" with another person across the entire sea of ​​stars, just like no matter where you go, you can feel the heartbeat of another world.

That weak heartbeat meant that Maiev was still alive.

This is good news.

Blake was immersed in such silence until after a while, he suddenly said:

"What are you doing in my captain's cabin? My Lord Clerk."

"Well."

The traveler Zhou Zhuo, who secretly pushed open the door, pulled his pirate costume uncomfortably. He was wearing a three-cornered hat and whispered awkwardly:

"I have little sailing experience, and I felt a little seasick tonight, so I wanted to find some books to read, but there were all books on Little Star that seemed strange to me. Your sister Fenna was very enthusiastic about sharing hers with me. Collection of books.

But I'm actually not interested in chivalric novels.

I heard someone said that your captain's cabin has the largest collection of books on the entire ship, so I plan to borrow a few books to read. Doesn't it bother you? Black. "

"No rules!"

The pirate turned and stared at his new secretary, Zhou Zhuo, and said:

"You want to call me 'Captain'! The books are all there. You can choose them yourself. It seems that you remember to send them back. Don't touch those magic books. I don't think you can understand them even if you take them.

By the way, I have just compiled a set of "Geography of Azeroth" by myself, and I just want you, a professional, to help me polish it. "

Blake walked to his bookcase that occupied two walls of the cabin, took out a thick series of books and placed them on the table. Zhou Zhuo walked forward with interest, picked up a book and opened it.

It was discovered that this was a folded map, which accurately marked the area where the Immortal Fleet had currently set foot. The content was so detailed and complete that Zhou Zhuo was hooked after just one glance.

He did not go back to his cabin, but sat at Blake's desk, eagerly looking at the world map in front of him, which was probably the most detailed one among many civilizations.

For a pandaren traveler who had just stepped out of Pandaria and welcomed the new world with anticipation and trepidation, nothing could make him feel happier than the map in front of him.

"Your continent is here, and the Tauren's continent is here. Ah, it turns out that Pandaria is close to the south of the world, and there is another wild and cold continent in the north.

But what about these white spaces?

What do these blanks represent? "

Zhou Zhuo raised his head and looked at Blake. He pointed at the large blank space on the map and said to the pirate:

"Is there any place in this world that you haven't been to and don't understand?"

"Yes, I have."

The pirate curled his lips and said:

"Although I don't want to admit it, I don't know everything about the geography of Azeroth, such as the legendary Dragon Island, the wild continent on the back of the legendary world, etc.

These are the most popular legends in the Endless Sea. Some of them have existed for many years, but they have never been confirmed. I guess there must be a more complete world map in the palace belonging to Queen Azshara in Nazjatar.

But the queen was a miser.

She would not share her collection with me so easily.

But this is also a good thing. It means that in my eyes, this world is still unknown and worth exploring. I can also allow you to record all my adventure stories. This is your duty as the secretary of the Nagfar. "

Blake looked at Zhou Zhuo who was full of satisfaction and said:

"But one thing, when you go out exploring with me, you must keep your hands closed. If you dare to touch anything, I will chop it off!"

Zhou Zhuo was about to curse and swear that he would change his past, but before he could speak, Blake suddenly stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture.

He frowned and felt it, then said:

"There is something approaching under the water. This is really strange. Just when we mentioned Her Majesty Queen Azshara, she sent an envoy? She said she was paying attention to me, but I thought she just said it casually.

Now it seems that she is actually playing it real. "
