Shadow Trails in Azeroth

After sending away the group of third-rate warlocks in Dalaran, Black and Rexxar also set off.

Rexxar brought nearly every remaining warrior of the Mok'Nathal clan with him, but he didn't need these hunters to hunt for him.

They were just "audiences" and "witnesses" to the war ceremony for Rexxar to take over as warchief. This was Black's idea.

Since you are going to do good deeds, you must let people see you.

If others don’t see you doing something good, isn’t that the same as not doing it?

When the two of them left the Evermore Forest with a group of wounded hunters, Rexxa looked back in the evening darkness. He could vaguely see his "people" standing at the exit of the jungle. on the hill.

It seemed to be saying goodbye to them.

The Beastman Batman also discovered his father who was as stubborn as stone. The old Beastmaster Leolocs remained silent as before. He just looked at his son and his own with a cautious and farewell look. tribesmen.

No need to say goodbye.

Because they are long gone.

The gap between life and death is a sad chasm, a chasm that cannot be crossed with emotion, just as Leorox himself said.

He is already dead, and all that remains here is a dead soul using his name and identity.

As he had wished throughout his life, he had become one with the land beneath his feet that had nurtured the Moknasa clan for countless years. He and his tribe had become a part of this land.

They can't leave and don't want to leave.

"Stop looking, you can't go back."

But this scene, which should be very warm and a little sad, could not make the smelly pirate feel any more waves in his heart. Black whispered to Lexa, who was dressed in black:

"They represent the past that cannot be changed, and you represent the present that requires effort. The conflict between you lies in the uncertain future.

You are standing in the present and talking to the past. You can only move yourself but cannot change reality. Instead of wasting time here saying sensational words, let's show them with practical actions.

Prove to them that you will win for what you and they are protecting together, a future that is a hundred times more perfect than anything they could have ever imagined.

What's more, if you sensationalize here, you will only be called a weakling by your father.

To deal with rocks, you have to use a sharper pickaxe! "

"I know."

Lexa nodded.

He took one last look at the evergreen woodland behind him and said:

"I will not come back again. After this battle, I will take them away from here. This wilderness is the cradle of Mok'Natha, but our clan cannot stay in the cradle forever.

I will cause Mok'Nathal's name to spread across both worlds, and then to the stars!

I swear! "

"Very well, keep up the momentum and let's leave quickly."

Black was riding on the back of his phoenix, and he urged:

"I still have a group of useless apprentices who need to be taught. Although I taught them the knowledge of the barrier the day before departure, no matter how well prepared they are, they will always be in a hurry the first time.

This is true of everything.

I'm ready to wipe my ass with those losers. "

"Are you sure you're wiping their butts instead of kicking them into hell?"

Lexa snorted and said:

"I know how to treat students strictly, but it is no longer 'strict' to bring a group of apprentices to this place. To be honest, I seriously doubt that you want them to be cannon fodder."

"What are you talking about? I'm a mentor! Do you understand, educators? Do you understand treating illnesses and saving people?"

Blake retorted.

The stinky pirate straightened the collar of the Corruptor's robe that he had specially put on today. He said:

"Even if we are lucky enough to win the massive invasion of the Burning Legion, it will take at least ten years for everyone to unite to expel the demons scattered in the two worlds.

Therefore, I just let them adapt to the life they will face every day in the next ten years.

If you can't even stand this, you'd better go back and change careers as soon as possible.

I heard that Old Garni is also recruiting people. That guy probably wants to imitate the Djinn and expand his garbage-picking 'business' in Draenor.

Therefore, my apprentices don’t have to worry if they are eliminated this time. Being a garbage man is also very suitable for them. "

——

Spending the night in the wilds of Gorgrond, which is 80% occupied by demons, is no fun.

Although there was no intrusion from any demons during the night, and not even a noisy hellhound that liked to run around was seen, the night was surprisingly peaceful, but it also attracted a large number of warlocks who came to Draenor to participate in the "weekly exam" The apprentices were so frightened that they couldn't sleep well all night.

When they headed to the Devil's Mine early the next morning, 90% of the apprentices were yawning, with expressions of hopeless immortality on their faces, and there were big dark circles under their eyes.

But this journey has been very smooth.

The route chosen by Grand Instructor Blake Shaw is indeed awesome!

On the way through the entire mountain corridor to the Devil's Mine, I didn't encounter even a single demon.

We encountered several demon-casting camps on the way, but they were empty. According to the information the warlocks found in the camps, the demons here seemed to have been temporarily transferred to prevent attacks from the Moknasa clan.

The apprentices would only be excited and happy for their good luck, but several warlock mentors leading the team had already discovered that something was wrong.

Especially the Warlock trio.

They jumped from their wyvern saddles and stood close together, discussing their speculations and discoveries in low voices.

"I thought the captain was just joking when he said he had 'arranged it', but now it seems that he has really arranged it in advance!"

Evil Eye, who was carrying a magic weapon shield made from the crystallized heart of Gul'dan, narrowed his one eye and whispered:

"The demon aura in these demon-casting camps has not even dispersed. They were mobilized and left for no more than twenty minutes. There must be the captain's 'eyes' in that demon fortress, and the level is definitely not low!

That guy was obviously cooperating with our actions. "

"More than that, look at the concentration of evil energy on the ground around you."

Zarakra said in a long voice:

“There must have been a lot of demons going back and forth between this alpine corridor and the Demon Mine for a long time, but now they can’t see any of them, and there’s a terrible hole in their defenses.

And we are walking in this loophole.

The demon hunters also took this road. They were going to assassinate Agona, the king of the abyss who ruled Gorgrond. This was like a 'special road' specially prepared for this assassination.

If we hadn't followed the captain for a long time, I would have doubted whether the captain had really defected to the legion, and this was a trap set for us. "

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Kanrisad, the youngest but the most talented, scolded:

"Why would the captain set a trap for us? If he has defected to the legion, he must have his reasons. We can just follow him. Why are there so many complaints?

Look, this is an 'armed outing' specially arranged by the captain for these apprentices who have never seen the world.

As long as they are not afraid, don't run around, don't make trouble, and complete their work as required, they will be able to pass the weekly exam safely and gain insights.

Gee, what a gentle mentor the captain is. "

"Yeah yeah."

The other two guys were also sighing, and then Xieyan complained again:

"Then why didn't we enjoy this kind of tenderness when we followed the captain? All I can remember is the taste of the captain's fists and whips. Alas, it's so miserable."

"Can that be the same?"

Kanrisad rolled his eyes and glanced back at the apprentices who started to make a fuss because they were close to the Devil's Mine. He scolded and cursed a few times, then turned back to the two guys and said:

"I would be afraid if the captain's character were gentle to me. That means I might be sent away as cannon fodder. That gentleness is the final comfort to the cannon fodder.

I would rather get scolded twice, at least he is willing to spend time scolding me, right? "

"Yeah, that's true."

The other two warlocks nodded repeatedly, but while they were chatting, they saw the burning flaming phoenix falling from the sky. Blake jumped down in mid-air, landed right in front of the three warlocks, and cursed:

"You're still chatting here? You're going to die, aren't you?

The demon hunters are taking action! Hurry up and help Sachiel stabilize and suppress the barrier! Kill that damn devil here, and if he messes up, I'll skin you! "

"Yes, yes, let's go right away."

The three warlocks were scolded and fled away. Before leaving, Evil Eye said to Black again:

"Captain, where is the barrier that the apprentices are responsible for?"

"Are you blind in your remaining eye too?"

Blake stamped his feet, blew out a smoke ring, and cursed:

"Isn't it right here?"

"?"

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the reins of the flying dragon and took off.

After reaching a sufficient height, he looked down. The entire Devil's Mine and the nearby ancestral land of the Blackstone clan, which had once been the Blackstone Clan's ancestral land, had now been shaped into a fortress by the devil. A large circular barrier was spread all over the hillside in the center of the fortress. .

With Evil Eye's sorcerer's magic skills, he could tell at a glance that this barrier was used to drive away demons.

As long as it is activated with enough magic power, it will instantly cover the entire Demon Fortress and a small half of the Demon Mine, temporarily creating a "pure" area while extracting evil energy from the ground.

The reduction in the concentration of evil energy will completely drive away low-level demons, and will also make high-level demons very uncomfortable.

This thing is original to the Narthalas Warlock School. The Warlocks got inspiration from the "Great Dispelling Magic" of the Priests.

But the problem is that the layout of such a large barrier requires a lot of manpower. When the captain came to Gorgrond before, he only had a group of garbage pirates under his command.

They simply can't play with something that requires professional knowledge to arrange.

The warlocks came here just last night. They had been marching all night and had no time to set up such a magic circle. After calculating and calculating, Xieyan came to a frightening, surprising and unbelievable conclusion in his heart. .

This thing.

It was probably the local devil who did it last night!

Only they have enough manpower and materials to create such a large-scale array effect.

But are the demons losing their minds and going crazy? Why are they doing this? Do they feel that they are too comfortable, so they plan to create some challenges for themselves?

"The captain said it, he has 'arranged' everything."

Seeing Xie Yan dazed, Zarak flew over with his flying dragon and said to his good friend:

"Why don't you still believe in the captain's connections? He has friends in the Void Realm. Isn't it normal to have several high-level demon friends in the Burning Legion?

Don't think too much and leave quickly. Those blind men have already rushed into the fortress. Damn it, they can really fight. They're crazy. "

Under the urging of Zarak, who was holding the Skull of Gul'dan, the trio of warlocks holding important items quickly flew towards the already "busy" demon fortress.

The stinky pirate watched them leave, and then gave a few instructions to the sky that was flying happily around him. The latter howled and flew into the sky, expanded its body and began to patrol in place.

The demon fortress where the King of the Abyss, Agona, was attacked, was equivalent to a general attack that blossomed in the center of the enemy.

The demons don't understand why the "cunning" enemy suddenly appears in the core of the area they rule without warning, and can directly enter the fortress where the demon commander is without disturbing any peripheral defense lines.

But they heard the frightened and angry roar of the King of the Abyss, which meant that all demons had to go to the fortress immediately to support the battle!

"Papa pa pa"

Blake clapped his hands and asked the hundreds of apprentices around him to look at him. The Grand Master, who was wearing an evil corrosive robe, announced in a cold voice:

"Everyone, you are all talented apprentices carefully selected by the Black Scythe Hermitage. My warlock subordinates think that you are very talented in this dark path.

As long as you can live to the day when you make achievements, you will definitely gain fame and success.

And now, it is your first test on the road to warlock. "

Although Black's voice was calm and magnetic, the apprentices here were not in the mood to listen to a long speech by the crazy dean of their own academy.

Because the entire Devil's Mine is rioting!

Under the summons of the King of the Abyss, at least 100,000 demons poured into the fortress where the battle had begun. Although most of them are low-level demons responsible for labor, who has seen this formation before?

It was like a sea of ​​demons rushing over. Although their position was far away from the charging line of the demons, it was not safe on the flanks!

Some timid guys were already squatting there with their hands on their heads, shivering.

"Okay, my apprentices, this is the content of your weekly exam.

In front of you is a demon expulsion circle that was personally invented by this instructor. Each time it operates, it requires at least 50 low-level warlocks like you to charge it.

In my estimation, just fifteen minutes on each node is enough to drain all your magic power, and there are almost three hundred people here.

This means that you need to take turns to activate this magic circle, which can protect you from being attacked by demons! "

Black's voice sounded again, but this time it brought hope to the desperate apprentices. Everyone looked at him, looking at the hopeful eyes in front of them, the evil master shrugged and said:

"But unfortunately, this ritual was 'slightly modified' by me. As long as one person stops the supply of magic power, the dispersal effect will be reduced by 10%.

If five people stop the supply of magic power, the dispersal effect will be greatly reduced.

If ten people stop the magic supply, a large group of demons will rush in and eat you little cuties as lunch in less than two minutes.

This is the difficulty of this weekly exam.

You must supervise each other's classmates and scold them not to be lazy so as not to kill everyone.

You should also encourage each other to persevere until the end, constantly explore your potential, and then pray that your demon hunter uncles are powerful enough to end the battle before you are completely drained of your magic power. "

The smelly pirate shrugged and said loudly:

"There is no such thing as failure in this weekly exam, because the result of failure is that everyone will die here.

Either pass them all or fail them all!

What a touching unity. Isn’t this the purpose of our Narthalas Warlock Academy? Either be the best or die the most handsome!

My dear apprentices, the first batch of demons will rush over in five minutes. It's time for you to show your real skills!

Come on, open my eyes.

Oh, by the way, don't expect me to help you.

The most I can do is let you die a happy death. This is the last mercy I can give to my apprentices.

Come on, everyone! "

"Blake Shaw! You bastard! If I were eaten by a demon, I wouldn't let you go even if I turned into a ghost!"

As soon as the pirate finished speaking, a heartbreaking curse came from the crowd.

This curse made Blake's eyes light up. He waved his hand and shouted:

"Kanrisadban, plus ten points! This sentence is really good. It's a pity that it would be perfect if it were a little more angry. This is the wisdom I want to teach you. You must remember it.

Warlocks never respect authority. Your first enemy as a student is your mentor. Of course, you must also be in awe of power.

So, whoever dares to scold me again, I will kill him before the devil comes! "

"boom"

A loud bang exploded in the demon fortress in the distance in front of the apprentices, causing soaring evil energy to pour into the sky. In the background of this big explosion, the stinky pirate took out a pocket watch and pretended to look at it.

He loudly announced:

"The weekly exam has officially begun! What are you doing standing still? Activate the magic circle. Apprentices, haven't you seen that your great mentor is trembling with fear?

Get to work quickly so I can have some time to calm myself down. "
