Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 1368 1. Safe Gilneas reminds you that driving is irregular and your loved ones will burst into tears [220]

"It's already November, and winter is about to begin. I've had a really fulfilling autumn."

On the boat from Menethil Port to Tol Barad, Blake watched the Death God go away overhead. He waved his hands to the sky and expressed a very literary emotion.

It is now the early winter of the eighth year of the Dark Portal, and the climate in the central part of the eastern continent has also become a bit colder. However, for super masters like pirates and Maiev, the temperature change has hardly any impact on their senses. The impact.

If necessary, Black can take off his clothes and run naked on the dwarf's Dun Morogh Snow Mountains or Winterspring Valley without feeling cold.

But the change of time is always sad.

Especially when so much has happened in such a short period of time, it is really emotional.

But right now on this fishing boat belonging to "Nat and Hal Fishing Company", Maiev is focused on another thing. The warden lady, wearing a Gilnean businesswoman's robe and a gold-trimmed tall hat, frowned and looked at the front of the cabin.

There was a rich young human holding a Nightborn girl in a long skirt and chatting in a low voice. Next to them, there was a little Nightborn girl taking a nap next to the man.

Maiev whispered to Blake:

"What's going on with that child of the night and that human? Why are they so close?"

"The two of us are husband and wife, okay? Isn't that the right thing to be intimate with? Do you think everyone is as cold as you?"

Blake pouted and said:

"Hal is a well-known businessman in Nanhai Town, not just because he got lucky last year and dug up pirate treasures while exploring the sea. He became rich overnight and returned to his hometown to buy several boats and start a fishing company to benefit the village.

What's more, when he was traveling around the world with a handsome and powerful pirate captain, he was lucky enough to 'pick up' a widow, a young elf woman named Son of the Night, who was in trouble in the Suramar wilderness, and then fell in love and got married to the latter.

Although Mrs. Vereny is a black-skinned elf.

Although this lady is still a bit addicted to magic.

But the fact that Hal, a poor boy, could marry an elf was almost like a legend to ordinary people in Nanhai Town.

I heard that because of the popularity of this incident, Hal is already preparing to run for the next mayor of Nanhai Town. It is said that this generous businessman gives gifts to every town citizen who supports him, so there are quite a lot of people supporting him.

If nothing else happens, I will be calling him Mr. Mayor in a few months. "

"How could a lucky businessman find a pirate treasure? I can't even make it up!"

Maiev complained softly:

"This Hal is actually the pirate spy you installed in Nanhai Town, right?"

"How clever, Mrs. Maiev."

Blake shrugged, holding his pipe around Maiev's slender waist, and whispered:

"Yes, Hal has been mine a long time ago.

Ever since I brokered the marriage between him and his elf wife, he has been completely devoted to me. But Hal is not a real pirate. He has no blood on his hands. He is a kind person in a broad sense.

The brother he grew up with is still the chief fisherman in my fleet, but the land deeds to Nanhai Town are all in my hands. In theory, that is my territory.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Nat for a long time. I wonder how that unlucky guy is doing now? "

"Nat, she's doing fine, Captain."

While Blake and Maiev were talking, Hal, the businessman who had finished having sex with his wife, stooped and walked into the cabin of the small boat. He also diligently brought breakfast to Blake and Maiev.

This guy who was living a very happy life touched the beard that he had grown deliberately to make him look more mature and steady. While pouring the captain wine, he said:

"Nat sent a letter last time, saying that with the help of his mentor, he dropped a big fish from the abyss in a hidden cave in the Barrens, and finally suppressed his 'disease' .

Now Nat is following Captain Anarres's flagship between the Sea of ​​Mists and the Broken Islands.

He also said that he planned to go to Pandaria next to meet the famous pandaren fishermen there and learn a few tricks from them. "

"That's okay."

Blake took a sip of wine, touched his fingers, and said:

"Next time you write to Nat, remember to remind him to come back. He still owes me a fishing trip.

There is still one last member of the Ring family in the abyss who has not been caught. I think no one in the world can accomplish this except him.

Although it's not a big deal, considering that both the First and Second Supreme Rings are now worn on my mother's finger, and she is not a very good person, this matter really needs to be put on the agenda. "

"Well, I'll tell Nat, Captain."

Hal nodded and was about to turn around and leave when Blake stopped him.

The smelly pirate rummaged around in his luggage, and finally took out a bag of cut draenei gems and threw it to Hal, saying:

"This is my gift to your unborn child."

"Um?"

Hal's eyes widened and he looked at the elf wife who was busy outside the cabin with surprise and joy. He lowered his voice and asked ecstatically:

"Captain, you mean me and Vereni."

"Yes, a half-elf child with a weird life experience will be born in about eight or nine months."

Blake shrugged, showed a malicious smile, held the wine glass and said to the surprised man in front of him:

"But I suggest that you let your wife drink less magic wine recently. It's not that you can't drink it, but you should control the amount of alcohol so as not to have any impact on the children.

I don’t know if the Nightborne’s addiction is hereditary.”

"Yes, but it's not as serious as you think."

Maiev beside the pirate shook her head and whispered in Salas:

"As long as they are separated from the environment of Suramar, children's addiction can be suppressed through long-term training.

As long as they do not abuse magic wine, the newborn children of the night's desire for magic is like a slight alcohol addiction, and will not endanger the children's growth and their minds.

But you'd better take your child to Mount Hyjal after he or she is born and ask for the blessings of the Moon Priests.

The bright moonlight can help elf babies get rid of their illnesses. "

"Ah, I understand. I want to write this down. Thank you for reminding me, kind lady elf."

Hal hurriedly took out his account book and wrote Maiev's instructions on it.

He took another look at the close relationship between Maiev and Black, then raised his eyebrows, as if he was planning to say a few words to bless the two talented and beautiful women in front of him, but was stopped by the dirty pirate's eyes.

Blake snorted and asked:

"Seeing you living such a happy life really makes an evil pirate like me unhappy, so I decided to find something for you. My dear Hal, I gave you a dividend to go home and start a business, but I also gave you A mission.

You probably haven't forgotten, right?

Say it.

Has there been anything noteworthy around Hillsbrad Foothills lately? "

"Well, it's not a big deal."

Hal scratched his head and thought hard about the news about his hometown during this period. After a few seconds, he said hesitantly:

"However, a lot of terrible things happened in Gilneas not long ago. It is said that King Zeon there found a solution to the werewolf curse.

Legend has it that he brought a treasure back from the land of the elves and claimed that the power of werewolves could be used by humans. But I asked Vereni, and she said she had not heard of any elf treasure that could counteract the werewolf curse.

And I heard that in the big cities over Gilneas, many people have taken the initiative to request to become werewolves at the call of the king. When several of my ships were restocking there, I also heard that the king had sent the people in Gilneas’s cells to become werewolves. All prisoners were transformed into werewolves. "

"This matter is over."

Blake waved his hand and said with regret;

"I have known about this for a long time. It seems that you are really careless when doing things for me. Hal, I have to punish you."

"Captain, please don't punish dad!"

Just as he was talking, Connie, Howl's daughter of the Nightborn, ran in with a plate of washed berries. She smiled and put the berries in front of Maiev's eyes, then grabbed Black's hand and shook it. Go and beg:

"Dad works very hard every day. He has to do business and have to go to meetings with those who support him. He doesn't have much time to collect information. But I did hear some information from my classmates at the church school in Tarren Mill. Interesting news, Captain, do you want to hear it?"

"Little Connie is still awesome."

Blake was always generous and tolerant towards children. He knocked little Connie on the head, took out a bag of Gnomeregan gummies and gave it to her, and asked again:

"What news did your classmates tell you?"

"This is great news!"

Connie stuffed the gummy candy into her mouth and said to Blake mysteriously:

"I have a friend who is very good at playing. Her hometown is in Fenmu Village. She secretly told me a few days ago that when she and her parents went back to her hometown for vacation, she unexpectedly saw very ferocious werewolves chasing and killing them in the forest. Druid!"

"Um?"

Blake and Maiev blinked at the same time. It was little Connie's news that really carried the weight, and the child may not have understood the implications of what she had heard through the grapevine.

The smelly pirate and Maiev looked at each other. He looked at Connie who was eating candy and asked:

"Have your friends ever described to you the appearance of the druids who were being hunted? And their identities?"

"She said it."

The little night elf tilted his head, frowned, thought for a while, and said:

"But I forgot.

But I remember she said those druids were not good people either! In the past, when werewolves didn't cause trouble, those druids used very bad methods to prohibit hunters from hunting.

They forced many hunters to change careers, and some people almost starved to death as a result.

So when they saw those bad guys Druids being chased by werewolves, the hunters in Burning Wood Village were very happy. They said this was retribution and they wanted to hold a banquet to celebrate. "

"Oh, Rendehui."

When little Connie said this, Blake and Maiev immediately understood the whole thing.

Those crazy and domineering little animal protectors of the Rende Society finally encountered a group of werewolves who attacked them physically.

This wave.

In this wave, evil people will have their own troubles, and dog bites dog is the right thing to do.

The "Gu Raising Tactics" promoted by His Majesty Jean in his own country seems to have entered the "finals". I don't know which evil force will dominate Gilneas in the future?

It’s really exciting to think about it.

“Well done!”

Blake patted little Connie on the head and said to the smiling little girl:

"You are a much better little spy than your father. I want to reward you. My dear little spy, do you want to go to Tol Barad Island with me for a few days?

I will send someone to take you back when school starts. My daughter and her friends are taking classes there. You will definitely become very good friends. "

——

"Hey, the bad old man still wants to trap me? What a dream!"

At the same time, but not at the same place, Miss Caitlin Ruinweaver was carrying a small bundle and ran out of a manor located in Silver Pine Forest near Lake Lordamre over the wall.

Her movements are agile and vigilant. Judging from her flexible posture when climbing the wall, she does not look like a spell caster at all, and she does not have the reserve and grace that the daughter of an archmage should have.

Instead, she looks like a female thief who has been trained for many years.

But looking at the dark gray on Miss Caitlin's fair face, she knew that her escape from the prison her father had set for her was definitely not smooth.

The Archmage of the Council of Six, Ansrem Ruinvivor, was still working in Stormwind City. He never expected that his daughter would actually run away at this time.

He would never have thought that the two female apprentices he had left to look after his daughter had been knocked unconscious by his daughter using her self-taught sap skills.

"Oh, I can finally pursue the life I want!"

Miss Caitlin, who came out of the manor, put her hands on her hips and laughed proudly, moved her shoulders and body, and took out the "disguise props" she had prepared long ago.

She hid in the stable and changed her clothes, transforming into a standard-dressed Gilnean businesswoman.

She even prepared a caravan for herself in advance in a farmhouse not far from the manor, which was often used by Gilnean merchants traveling north and south.

In this way, they all live together.

"I heard from the mages that the Wolf Cult in Gilneas has been in a lot of trouble recently, so it's not suitable to go from Dragonbone Port. I want to go southeast from Amber Mill to Nanhai Town, and then find a boat to go out to sea."

Caitlin skillfully drove the carriage onto the road as the sun began to rise.

While waving her whip, she imitated the Gilnean merchants and shouted to both sides of the road, while planning her own route in her mind.

In the clothes of Miss Caitlin's stand-in was an admission notice from the Warlock School of Narthalas College. This thing was the reason for her to dare to run away from home.

As long as I can rush to the magic academy in Tol Barad and formally enroll before the old man takes me back, then the old man will never try to bring me back no matter how angry he is.

Narthalas Academy was not a place where a rigid old man like him, the Archmage, could run wild.

As long as he runs there, he can escape from everything that is suffocating in Dalaran.

"I will first go to the Warlock Academy to study for a few years, then get a professional title and then join the Undead Pirate Fleet. In this way, I will be able to realize my long-cherished wish in life.

Be a pirate!

What freedom and what a wonderful life. "

As Miss Caitlin hurried on, she had already begun to dream about her future career. She even thought of her own pirate nickname.

From now on, I will be called "Blade" Caitlin!

Gee, that sounds very majestic.

Of course, it is very scary to have your mind wandering while driving a carriage. It is basically equivalent to wandering around while driving. Therefore, Miss "Blade" Caitlin soon encountered the first "danger" in her young life. traffic accident".

Just as she was driving a well-camouflaged carriage, waving her whip and cheering as she crossed the downhill slope of a forest road, a woman covered in blood suddenly rushed out from the forest next to her.

The latter weakly opened his arms as if he wanted to say something, but by the time Miss Caitlin reacted, the galloping old horse had already knocked the poor woman asking for help away.

The moment Miss Caitlin saw the woman being knocked out by her carriage, her mind went blank. The first thought that came to her stopped mind was:

Ruined!

Now the bad old man has to find a way to get his daughter out of the Gilnean prison!

I heard that Gilneas officials are forcing all prisoners to be transformed into werewolves. So, will I become Caitlin "Howling Wolf" in the future?

Hello! This is not the life plan Miss Caitlin wanted to take the risk of running away from home.

asshole!

Are you so unlucky?

However, there are dense forests on both sides, and it's still early morning before dawn. No one sees the bad things I accidentally did, so why don't I run away?

By the way, as long as you run fast enough, no one should be able to find you, right?
