Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 1295 45. Did I say I would put a collar on you? -Added updates for the "Sword of Philio" brothers【55】

The news about Illidan has been obtained, which puts the pirates at ease.

Facts have proved that Illidan Stormrage is indeed the magical man in his memory, and he is still very popular in the devil's stronghold.

The pirates suspected that Illidan might have regained his "good traditions" there and integrated the Broken ones remaining in the world of Argus.

Otherwise, it cannot be explained that this guy can move freely back and forth in Argus, where demons are everywhere. He must have received the help of some power to be able to lurk in the demon's stronghold for so long.

When it comes to living under the eyes of the devil, what could be more powerful than the remaining indigenous people who have lived in that world for more than 20,000 years?

But Black didn't explain much.

Although he knew the situation in the world of Argus very well, others knew nothing about it. Even Velen did not know the situation in his hometown very well. It was not good to talk too much about this kind of thing.

Although he does have to pretend to be a good guy occasionally, revealing too much information won't make others like him more, so why bother?

The biggest benefit after contacting Illidan was that the morale of Illidari's demon hunters suddenly reached its peak.

After hearing Lord Illidan's voice with their own ears, these blind men who followed Blake to the other world finally calmed down their restless hearts.

After confirming that Lord Illidan did have some secret plans with Black, the Illidari no longer resisted working for Black temporarily.

They probably identified Black as a "human non-staff member" of the Illidari.

Well, even though he's not blind and doesn't use fel powers very often, he does have hunting marks and is always in the shadows.

Let's just treat him as one of our own.

In addition to legitimately gaining full command of the Illidari, Black also successfully gained a lot of reputation with the Draenor Expedition and the Draenei because of this wave of "air talk" with Illidan.

On the one hand, he consolidated his "good reputation" as a prophet, and on the other hand, he also demonstrated his abilities to others, letting others know that he had a "plan" in hand.

This allowed Black to virtually take the lead in the subsequent conversations with all parties.

After all, facing the current situation in Draenor and facing the demons of the Burning Legion all over the world, no one can come up with a complete and effective rescue plan. It is better to follow the pirates' path to darkness.

At least they really planned this carefully.

No matter how bad the plan is, it is better than no plan at all. What's more, Black's legendary experience in Azeroth has told everyone in front of them that all plans made by him are excellent.

“So, the most important thing next is to transfer all the Draenei civilians to Azeroth before the demons sent by the Burning Legion to replace Kazzak as commander of Draenor arrive.

this point is very important. "

In a specially cleared room in the Broken Hall, Blake sat in front of the conference table, playing with a fragment of devil's horn that he got from nowhere, and said to everyone in front of him:

"This is not only to reduce the risk to innocent people in the war, not only to boost the morale of the draenei warriors, but also to warn those stubborn fools in Azeroth.

Magtheridon invaded Azeroth and almost destroyed Nethergarde Keep. Later, a group of Draenei civilians who were tortured by demons came forward to speak out. I believe that no matter how stupid you are, you should seriously consider the possibility of demon invasion. .

Lord Velen, can your spaceship pass through the Dark Portal? "

The pirate looked at the Draenei prophet, and Velen nodded. He wiped his neatly trimmed white beard and said:

"Storm Fortress also has the ability to travel through space, and its internal space is very large. Not only can it take away the civilians of Shattrath City at once, but it can also take away civilians of other races.

Our ship only needs to get close to the Dark Portal to capture the coordinates of the world rift and Azeroth. It can use some of the last stored energy to complete a one-time jump.

However, our spaceship cannot move after it passes. "

The prophet sighed and said:

"We have no choice but to stay in Draenor. After the Guinidal spacecraft crashed, our fleet was severely damaged and has lost the ability to travel between stars.

This is probably the last time the Storm Fortress is activated until suitable replacement energy is found and materials are found to repair the ship. "

“The location is great.”

Grand Knight Turalyon spoke on behalf of the Holy Light Church:

“Pope Faol has been working hard in the human kingdom to find a place for the Draenei to settle, and there are also large uncultivated areas in the eastern continent for the Draenei to settle.

Is it just that your spaceship is as huge as the Exodar we just saw? If it's such a 'ship', it's really not easy to hide. "

"Quickly put away your hopeless imagination of the Paladins."

Blake sneered, stretched out his hands and made a big gesture, and said:

"The Exodar is just one of the frigates of the Storm Fortress' Ark. The size of the Draenei's Ark is more than ten times the size of the Exodar.

Its internal volume when fully expanded is equivalent to the area of ​​Stormwind City plus one-third of Elwynn Forest. It is a huge flying object that has never been seen in Azeroth.

If it weren't for the fact that it could be transmitted directly into the world through magical black technology, I wouldn't dare let it approach our world from the stars.

The gravitational chaos caused by a spacecraft of that size as it approaches the ground is enough to cause permanent damage to the continental shelf of the eastern continent.

It was also me who forgot to tell Faao Mian.

There is no need to find a place on land for the Draenei. They are a racial civilization that travels with their own country. They only need to demarcate an area on the endless sea.

Where their fleet lands, a permanent archipelago will be formed, which will be the future country of the draenei. "

Black's description did not surprise Lord Ravencrest too much. This old elf who had fought in the War of the Ancients also saw the battleships of the Burning Legion during the war.

Although he comes from a magical civilization, he is no stranger to giant battleships that are more than ten kilometers in length.

But this description made the human paladins and archmages widen their eyes. The draenei in front of them just laughed and said nothing.

It's clear that the pirate's description is not an exaggeration.

They really have this strength.

This also made the contempt and pity that a group of humans had for the Draenei who were originally slaughtered by the orcs disappear. The heritage of this race is really terrifying.

But it also gave them new doubts. How could the Draenei with such powerful black technology be harmed like this by the orcs of the nomadic civilization?

But this issue is not the focus of today’s discussion.

"I suggest you land in the South China Sea."

Black took out a map of Azeroth from his arms, spread it out in front of Velen, pointed to the large area of ​​​​the South China Sea and said to the prophet:

"The climate here is mild and the environment is peaceful. It is very suitable for your civilians to rest and recuperate. The most important thing is that it is close to Pandaria, a famous food-producing area. You can buy enough food and drinks at low prices from the friendly Pandaren.

Furthermore, the South China Sea has the most developed commercial system in the entire Azeroth, and you can quickly integrate into our world by relying on those merchant ships traveling north and south.

In fact, the North Sea is better. It is my territory and there are no sovereignty disputes. But the problem is that my compatriots are planning a deportation war against me.

So the North Sea is not suitable for the peaceful draenei. "

Viren nodded, put away the map in front of him, and said:

"I will discuss this issue with our Archbishops, and thank Azeroth for taking in our group of homeless people. But in addition to the events of the civilians, we must also consider the situation in the world of Draenor.

I mean, this war! "

The prophet emphasized his tone and said to the others in front of him:

"Before you all arrived, I had been trying to build a joint force to resist the demons, but the grudges between us and the orcs were too deep.

The tribesmen are unwilling to cooperate with the orcs, and the orcs are also afraid of us. Although I have private discussions with Mr. Ner'zhul, who is currently the orc leader, the two of us cannot reach an agreement on this issue.

Maybe your arrival is an opportunity.

Taking the lead from you, a third-party force, can create a buffer between the draenei and the orcs. Only by uniting together can we have a better chance of saving the world. "

"We're already doing this."

Turalyon, the interim leader of the Draenor Expedition, glanced at Black, who was wandering in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking. He said:

"We humans also have blood feuds with the orcs, but as far as I know, Lord Black has channels of communication with the orcs in Azeroth and Draenor."

"We can also do it for you."

Hamuul Runetotem, the silly cow, waggled his tail and said:

"If it is inconvenient for you all, I can go to Shadowmoon Valley as an envoy for both parties. It is said that the orcs there have been advancing a mysterious plan. If we can participate in it, then"

"It's not that it's possible, it's not that it's possible, but it's necessary! You must be involved in the matters in Shadowmoon Valley. Every force present cannot escape. What Ner'zhul is planning is a very important matter related to the existence of Draenor."

Blake suddenly came to his senses. He stood up and said to the others:

"I will be responsible for the contact with the orcs. Let's discuss the Azeroth camp's action plan in Draenor first, using Hellfire Citadel as a base.

Lord Ravencrest took over from me to chair this meeting. I suddenly had something important to do, and the following discussion was not something I, a pirate, should participate in.

So, farewell, everyone. "

After saying that, the stinky pirate left the table.

This decisive style made the Draenei a little stunned, but everyone in Azeroth was not surprised. They all knew that Black was such a "free and casual" guy.

And in his absence, everyone became more relaxed.

After all, there is a master assassin sitting next to him who controls the information network all over the world. No one knows that if he says the wrong thing, he will reveal some terrible black information.

In this regard, Black has always had a criminal record.

But some people are also curious about what the stinky pirate did after leaving this meeting that he actively facilitated.

Is it really important? ——

"Hey, where are you going?"

On the lower floor of Hellfire Fortress, outside a very quiet house, Maiev Shadowsong, who was wearing a "hospital gown", had just tiptoed out of the room when an expressionless Black appeared in front of her.

The pirate looked at the weak and retreating warden lady in front of him, and he sneered and said:

"I knew you were pretending to be seriously injured again."

"I'm not pretending."

Maiev shook her head and said:

"I'm really tired, but I don't want to be here."

"It's not a question of whether you want it or not, ma'am."

Blake flexed his fingers and said:

"You still owe me a lot of questions, and I should have said before, don't even think about telling Viren what you know? Why are you so misbehaved?

Lady Elune has allowed me to act freely, and she has judged from my past behavior that giving me great autonomy will do no harm to the Order camp.

The gods you believe in have already acquiesced, why do you, a little priestess, have to be so persistent? "

Maiev bit her lip.

She looked really bad now, with her lips looking grayish white.

Her weakness was not a disguise, but in the face of Blake's question, the warden was silent for a few seconds and raised his head to look into Blake's eyes.

She said very seriously:

"Tell me honestly, will what you are preparing for cause many people to die?"

"meeting."

Blake didn't hide anything and said frankly:

“Not only will many people die, but the peace of those who have died will also be broken, and all civilizations, including the Kaldorei elves, will suffer greatly.

I want to start an eternal war!

Filling in the gaps for a schemer on his chessboard, the balance of life and death among the stars is disrupted, causing the world of the dead to open up in the physical world.

A turbulent era is coming, and I will push it away with my own hands. "

"Why do you do this?"

Maiev shook her body and asked again.

"Because. Only in this way can I enter the realm that belongs to Him."

Blake said quietly.

Maiev wanted to listen carefully, but as soon as she leaned over, the stinky pirate held her wrist, and with the latter's light movements, she was put on a very strange thing.

"you!"

The warden lady touched the thing around her neck in astonishment, which looked like a necklace, but was actually much worse. She looked at Black angrily, and the latter shrugged.

Amid Xal'atath's wild laughter, Black whispered:

"I told you before at Karabor Temple that I would put a collar on you, right? Don't think about running around this time. Maiev, come, tell me, what happened ten thousand years ago?"

Maiev remained silent.

Blake took a step forward and she took a step back.

The two of them just danced back into Maiev's lounge. The house was very dark, with only one small window, and a faint ray of moonlight shone in from it, becoming the only light source in the house.

"You know, there are lots of ways I could ask."

Blake whispered:

"Don't let yourself suffer, okay? If that's my future, I feel like I have the right to know. Tell me, what did I do ten thousand years ago?"

He questioned, and Maiev hid in the darkness. It was not until Black's third question that the warden lady finally made a move.

She opened her arms and threw herself in front of the pirate. She hugged him and said in his ear:

"I won't tell you. Just give up. You asked me to keep it secret from you when you cruelly left me. I just obey your orders."

"What if I must know?"

the pirate asked rhetorically.

Maiev brushed her white hair, breathed softly in his ear, and whispered:

"There are only two of us here, and when you faced me who was helpless, did you just ask for the truth about ten thousand years ago? Do you know?

Ten thousand years after you left, I faced countless moons every lonely night, missing the same you? What I’m more curious about is, in the ten thousand years before you were born, did you miss me?

Blake.

And you ridiculous collar, it doesn’t have to be like this!

As early as when you left me, you had already hung the invisible chain around my neck.

Hang in my heart.

You annoying guy, I know you are not the one who loves me deeply. You have complicated feelings for me, I know it.

but now.

Stop asking, let me prove my thoughts through actions, okay? "
