Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Hello, Mr. Black. Oh, I should call you Senior Black."

In this lounge, little Gianna, who was about to start her new study career, was indeed very happy. She raised her left hand and waved to Blake in a tone of surprise, saying:

"I said when I said goodbye last time, we will meet again soon. I have also heard all kinds of stories about you in the field of magic research. I am looking forward to learning with you.

In short, please give me more advice in the next two years. "

"Snapped"

Looking at the polite Jaina in front of him, the stinky pirate slapped him on the forehead,

He felt his face twitch. So is this the feeling of getting a 'surprise'? No wonder those people who had received 'surprises' from him were so angry.

"Haha, what on earth was I expecting before?"

The stinky pirate sighed in his heart about the uncertainty of fate. He made a strange sound and whispered to Dean Lan Yue beside him:

"Is this the so-called 'surprise'? Hey, Dean, as a lich, you shouldn't imitate other people's preparation of 'surprises'. You really have no talent in this area!"

If this was a twist drama, I'd give it a zero.

Because now I am only frightened, without any joy. In addition, I think I should lose my temper to express my dissatisfaction with you and Merry's private actions.

You asked for everyone's consent, except for me!

I don’t think this was a mistake on your part, you just did it on purpose!

Mentor, you know, since I rescued you, I have always respected you, and the master-disciple relationship between us has been handled very well.

But this time.

You guys are going a little too far. "

"Hey, do you think I, an absolutely rational lich, would risk breaking up with you to prepare such a surprise?"

Dean Lanyue sighed, and she answered in the language of the soul:

"This is a joint request of your parents. They hope to replicate the contact process between you and Fenner, so that you and Gianna can also have the relationship between family members.

Just because this is your family matter and I can't interfere, I chose to accept their request.

It's probably the same reason why Meili didn't tell you in advance. We don't want this to damage our relationship with you.

I think you should be able to understand that, except for you, letting Jaina come to Nar'thalas Academy to continue her magical studies is currently the best choice for her.

Unless you are willing to let your sister go to Quel'Thalas, an environment full of arrogance and racial discrimination. Fenner's experience shows that it is not a good place to study. "

"I can understand it, and I'm a very rational person, but that doesn't mean I can accept it calmly."

Blake said something to the dean, took another deep breath, leaned over to little Gianna, and said in a gentle tone:

"This is really a big surprise. I welcome the arrival of the little princess, but I urgently need to deal with some things now. I may have to miss the opening ceremony today, which is really disappointing.

But after I finish my work, I will definitely prepare a grand welcome dinner for the arrival of my elementary school girl. "

"Is there anything more important today than the opening ceremony of the college?"

Little Gianna asked in surprise.

Blake put his hand to his mouth and made a silent gesture, and said with a smile:

"Of course it's something related to pirates. Good boy, don't ask too much. It's not a good thing."

After saying that, Blake, who was wearing a robe, took a step back and disappeared into the shadows.

Regarding his departure, a trace of worry flashed in the eyes of the old lich Merry. He looked at Dean Alya Blue Moon, but the latter shook her head at him, indicating that he did not need to worry.

Dean Blue Moon has absolute confidence in Black's will and his dark wisdom. She doesn't think the pirate will be a person who avoids problems.

Although this arrangement from his parents may indeed offend Blake, who has always been very self-centered and unwilling to be restrained, the dean believed that his outstanding disciple could eventually solve this problem perfectly.

Just like the miracles he has always created.

"Come on, kid, there is still some time, I will take you to meet your school girls."

Dean Blue Moon extended his hand to little Gianna and said goodbye to the old lich who was about to go to fight an evil god who had descended into the material world.

She took Jaina out of the lounge. As the dean's long skirt was swaying in his arms without assistance, the little mage suddenly asked:

"Dean, er, mentor, is Mr. Black angry because of my appearance?"

"Why do you think he is angry?"

Dean Lan Yue pushed up his crystal glasses and asked:

"Can you feel the emotion behind his mask?"

"able."

Jaina was a little confused and said:

“I’m not a particularly observant person, but when I’m with Mr. Black, I can always feel his emotional changes, even the slightest changes.

Although he tried hard to maintain calm when he left, there was anger shining in his heart. Was it because of my sudden appearance?

Come to think of it, even though he served his brother, how could a pirate like the daughter of an admiral? Maybe my arrival was a mistake. "

"No, he's not angry because of you."

The dean shook his head and said in a gentle tone:

“The reason for his anger is himself.

He can play with kings and chiefs in applause, he can set off a storm of war in the endless sea, and he can influence the rise and fall of countries and civilizations.

He is a powerful man.

But even he couldn't fight against himself.

One is longing for change, chaos and the endless sea, while the other is looking forward to peace, reunion and everything beautiful.

He is complex and changeable because the two villains in his heart are constantly fighting. No one can subdue anyone, and no one can defeat anyone, but any war will eventually end.

Whether my disciples want it or not.

He has to learn to reconcile with himself.

He has to accept his past in order to better shape his future. Black Shaw has subtle inner demons, which I felt when I met my disciple.

This has nothing to do with you, this has nothing to do with us, and has nothing to do with this world.

That's his private matter.

We shouldn't get involved.

Let's go, kid, you may be able to deliver a speech at the opening ceremony on behalf of this year's freshmen at Nasarath College. I hope you have prepared your speech in advance. "

——

"What's going on! Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"

On Tol Baradnan Island, at the pirate tavern in Losberg Town, Finna, Sephiel and Little Star rushed over together. After entering the tavern, they saw the ground was in a mess.

A lively tavern brawl just broke out here. A stinky pirate wearing a warlock's robe raised his fists and beat down all the bastards in the bar.

Now he was sitting alone in front of the broken bar, letting the frightened fox bartender pour the pirate commander's drink tremblingly.

"Hey, I have a question for you."

The idiot Fenner was wearing a long skirt, holding up the hem of the skirt as she stepped over the drunkards lying on the ground, and kicked a dwarf pirate unconscious who tried to peek under her skirt.

Walking to Blake's side again, looking at her smelly brother who was losing his breath, she said dissatisfiedly:

"What's wrong with you today? You're so angry? It's not like you. Tell your sister if you're unhappy. Maybe you'll be happy if you say it.

Hey, bring me a bottle of wine, don't mix it with water, or I'll beat you up. "

Fenner popped out a gold coin and gave it to the fox-man bartender, who quickly served a colorful cocktail to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and also prepared drinks for the two ladies behind.

"I'm planning a hilarious plan!"

Blake drank wine in a stale manner, and said to Fenner without raising his head:

"I plan to get an unfinished mechanical return bomb from Mechagon and throw it at the opening ceremony to see how many lucky people can survive the light of return.

I think this plan is great, what do you think? "

"I think you're going crazy. Maybe it's because of your years of drinking that your brain has finally been damaged."

Fenner scoffed at this.

She leaned on the bar, admiring the embarrassed postures of the weak chickens beaten to the ground by her bratty brother, and said:

"This is not what a normal bratty brother should say. If you want to do bad things, you have to do them with benefits. I don't see any benefit from you doing this kind of thing.

Seriously, what happened? "

"Gianna was placed in Dean Lanyue's class and will stay there for two years, but I haven't been able to graduate yet."

Blake picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a wooden face:

"The most annoying thing is that this matter was arranged by Catherine and Dai Lin together. They thought that you and I could become the siblings they see as colluding with each other, so they took it upon themselves to think that Jaina and I could also develop a relationship through this.

I doubt very much that Catherine must have brought Tanred with her, probably for the same reason.

I can understand a mother wanting her children to be in harmony, but "

"Wow, I told you back then that Catherine's mother must have good intentions when she suddenly came to be a pirate! You didn't believe it at the time."

Fenner also drank the cocktail in her hand angrily and said angrily to Blake:

"Look, did I tell you right? She is just using you."

"Well, although it's the captain's personal matter I shouldn't express my opinion casually."

Little Xingxing held the fruit wine, squeezed her eyes and said:

"But I think this shouldn't be considered taking advantage, right? Lady Catherine's intentions are good. No matter from which point of view, this is not a bad thing.

Although Captain Stinky must have some psychological problems and has been hiding his identity, I think the family should be neat and tidy. "

"Shut up you two!"

Sephiel, the first mate who knew Blake best, shook her head. As the pirate's pillow, she obviously had a better understanding of Blake's mentality.

The first parasaurus snorted and drove Fenna and Little Xingxing out, who looked unhappy, and asked them to guard the door.

She stood next to the pirate and poured a glass of wine for Black with her own hands.

She whispered:

"Captain, everyone around you wants you to be happy and to be accompanied by your family. But you are the only one who has been resisting this. I don't want to delve into the past of my beloved man.

But these problems will not be properly resolved just because of delay.

You also know that little Gianna's mentality is changing, she is in the growth stage, and she needs an excellent role model to lead her to grow. She has always separated you and Drake into two images.

I think if we keep it a secret like this, the result might not be very good.

Maybe it will make her hate her out of love.

You said it yourself. After experiencing the baptism of the Sha of Pride in Pandaria, you also started to solve this problem. You originally planned to reveal your identity after the trip to Draenor.

Although this incident is sudden, I think, isn't this a better opportunity?

Maybe it's fate. "

Blake didn't answer.

He just silently raised his glass and drank it in one gulp. After a long silence, he lowered his head and whispered:

"I was used to moving around the world as Black Shaw, but everyone around me wanted me to go back to being Derek Proudmoore.

I've made a compromise.

I regarded Catherine as my mother and called her mother. I regarded Fenner as my sister and allowed her to enter my life. There was even a time when I tried to accept Dailin.

But His Majesty Dai Lin is too powerful.

Having a father like him really puts a lot of pressure on me, and I think I need to relax, so for the time being, I will maintain this weird situation of mutual hostility and cooperation.

I truly consider little Jaina my sister and Tanred my little brother.

But I really no longer want the only thing they see reflected in their eyes is Drake's face.

I was even afraid to see the me in their eyes. It was not the real me, it was just their memories of the person in the past.

But Drake is dead.

He left in Khaz Modan's dragon fire, and the person who came to life in the hell under the sea was called 'Black Shaw', and the person who controlled this body was called Black!

Blake has done so much for Drake that he doesn't owe him anything anymore.

Blake doesn’t want to be Drake either!

Not at all!

Can you understand me? Sefir.

Or let me ask you a question. "

The stinky pirate raised his head and looked at the first parasaurus.

He said:

"Who do you like? Blake? Or Drake?"

"What I like is the person in front of me."

Sephiel also picked up a glass of wine, and the dress she wore gave the Parasaurus a unique beauty.

In this messy bar full of fallen people groaning in pain, the first parasaurus raised his glass to the pirates.

she says:

"No matter what he calls himself, what I like is not his name, but his soul, a free, wild, unfettered soul that fights the sea."

"Well, my dear Saphire, this is the most touching thing I have heard this year."

Blake threw away the wine glass and hugged the big parasaurus in front of him in a graceful manner. The two kissed in this messy place until several minutes later, under the gaze of the panting Sephiel, the stinky pirate blinked. Eye.

He asked:

"I suddenly had a crazy idea, my dear Sephiel, what do you think, if I ask little Gianna this question, how will she answer me?"

"I'm not your sister, how do I know?"

The first parasaurus shrugged, straightened his hair, and said:

"Maybe you can ask her yourself."

"good idea!"

Blake snapped his fingers and instantly changed from decadent to enthusiastic. He rubbed his chin and said:

"Then let's go ask. This may destroy the spiritual world that a girl has carefully built for herself, but considering that I am a pirate who does all kinds of evil.

So, whatever.

Come, my first mate.

Let's do something bad to entertain ourselves. "

There will be an update tomorrow, 3+25, so stay tuned.
