Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 1370 3. Why can’t I be a warlock and a pirate at the same time? 【420】

"Well, the legendary Tol Barad!"

When Hal's fishing boat passed through the leafy shadow barrier around Tol Barad Island in the afternoon, Miss Caitlin, who had changed into a spellcaster's robe, suddenly let out an exclamation.

It was as if the ship under her feet had inadvertently crossed through a magical door, and two large islands separated from the sea suddenly appeared on the empty sea in front of her.

The North Island is lively and the South Island is majestic.

From the rugged sea, you can easily see the towering, elven-style mage spire of Narthalas College on the South Island.

In particular, the large observatory built specifically for astrologers is like a lighthouse shining with magical light. The white tower body and violet top make this building resemble the scenery of Suramar.

Caitlin had only seen the scenery of Narthalas Academy from the album brought back by the mages of Dalaran.

Now seeing it with my own eyes made this girl who was pursuing a free life widen her eyes, greedily wanting to carve the scenery in front of her deeply into her heart.

"I heard that Dean Elya Blue Moon even bought all the greenskin slaves in Gilneas to build this academy, and there were also prisoners from the Gilneas fleet who worked here for more than a year!

It is said that many people died. "

Caitlin turned back to Queen Mia, who was hanging her arm with a bandage behind her, and said the third-hand gossip she didn't know where she heard:

"I also heard people say that all the wealth for building this magic academy came from the plundering of undead pirates in the South Sea. It is said that Lord Black Shaw continuously unearthed the treasures of many ancient pirates, and even brought him to rob Dalaran. All the treasures were taken out to raise enough funds for the construction of Nathalas College.

The goblins in Stranglethorn Vale and Booty Bay have made a lot of money from this business. Some mages in Dalaran complained that the splendor and majesty of Narthalas Academy was based on the hollowing out of Dalaran. Up.

Therefore, they almost hate Black Shaw.

In the current war on the North Sea, there are still many Dalaran mages who volunteer to join the Alliance fleet. They want to impose the shame of Dalaran being plundered on Black Shaw's fleet.

But to be honest, I don’t feel much about these things.

I don't like Dalaran anyway. "

Caitlin adjusted her mage robe and complained:

"Originally, that city was filled with stubborn guys like my dad. They regarded their understanding of power as the truth and suppressed all voices that differed from their ideas.

It's just stupid in my opinion.

In the period after Dalaran was destroyed by the Defilers, the old men began to absorb spellcasters from other factions.

It has become more open and tolerant, and the image of the city where I was born has improved a lot in my eyes.

I think it's really not a bad thing that Dalaran was looted and destroyed. Rotten old things always need to be beaten to realize the reality. "

"maybe."

Queen Mia looked at the island in front of her with a complicated look.

She whispered:

"But the captured naval officers had been released home a few months ago. Although this pirate island was founded by Black Shaw, the management of this island is not in his hands now.

An old friend of mine runs the place.

But the rise of Tol Barad is indeed the greatest humiliation that Gilneas has suffered in the past century.

Our fleet suffered a disastrous defeat on this sea. Not only did we lose control of Tol Barad, it even allowed the pirates to arrogantly regard our outer sea as their back garden.

My husband and his generals have always remembered that tragic defeat and they are desperate to regain their glory.

I thought so too. I am a Gilnean after all, and I love my country deeply.

But it wasn’t until I saw firsthand the madness born of hate that I realized we might have gone too far down the wrong path.

I wish I could get my hands on this problem.

You know, if you leave all grievances to men, it will always end in war. The useless men of Gilneas are trying to turn themselves into monsters to gain the power of revenge.

This is stupid.

Maybe this time, it's time for women to sort things out. "

"Wow, ma'am, what you said really cheers me up as a woman, but it also makes me feel a little scared."

Caitlin looked at Queen Mia, who seemed to have made up her mind, with a strange look, and she whispered:

"Are you planning to assassinate Black Shaw alone? You'd better not do that. That guy is very powerful. Everyone who knows him says so.

In fact, he is the second most ruthless character in my heart! "

"Enough of this stupid talk that has become popular among you young people lately!"

Queen Mia covered her forehead with her hand and said helplessly:

"My son is less than ten years old, and he has been telling me on his fingers all day long who are the fighters he admires the most. You guys are really deeply influenced by Black.

Ever since his bizarre list of admirers was circulated, it seems like overnight, you young people all have such a list in your mind.

So, are you actually a ‘pirate admirer’ too? Miss Catelyn, no wonder your father wants to lock you up in the manor.

Take my advice, little girl.

You can learn from Blake's adventurous spirit and use his story of rise as extracurricular reading to encourage you, but don't learn from his chaotic style.

Don’t even take the initiative to think according to the so-called ‘dark wisdom’.

That turns you into a psychopath. "

"But I think that's very handsome."

Caitlin tilted her head and said something, then she happily held Queen Mia's hand and whispered:

"To tell you the truth, eldest sister, although we have known each other for a short time, I have decided to learn from you. You are the kind of brave, beautiful, smart and successful person I want to be in twenty years. big sister.

Of course, it would be great if I still have the same figure as you in twenty years. "

"Then eat more meat, drink more milk, and spend three hours a day riding horses and hunting."

Queen Mia grinned as Caitlin blew her rainbow fart.

She glanced at the eldest lady of the Qiao family and said:

"Look at you, little girl, you are as skinny as a stick."

"Ladies, please get ready, we are approaching the shore."

Hal, who was steering the ship at the rear, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He said to the two people in front of him:

"I have sent news to the island before. There may be the captain's cronies to greet you, especially you, Miss Caitlin. I heard that the college's entrance examination is very strict, and you are a transfer student.

So, you'd better prepare quickly.

I have sent some students who failed the exam away from here before. They cried miserably. There are also a few young people who are still staying in cram schools in Nanhai Town.

If you miss this entrance exam, you will have to wait another three years. "

"Ah, is there still an entrance exam?"

Caitlin, who was full of energy, panicked now.

She hurriedly opened her luggage, grabbed a few stolen magic notes belonging to her father, and flipped through them frantically, trying to use this "quantum reading" behavior to increase her chances of passing the exam.

But this kind of sharpening a gun before battle is obviously of no use.

Queen Mia pulled her up and told her that she should relax at this time. If she was too nervous, even her own wisdom would be knotted in her mind, which would be too bad.

A few minutes later, Hal's fishing boat docked at the pier in Losberg Town. He greeted a few old pirates who were familiar with him. With their help, he fixed the boat and took off the planks to let the two ladies Board the dock.

As soon as he landed, Hal saw a bored Blake sitting on the rocks of the pier wearing a Pandaren-style loose "house robe" and drinking wine, with a fishing rod and an empty bucket at hand.

On his shoulder sat a beautiful but languid bird.

Is this the Air Force again?

Although the captain is great in all aspects, he is really a third-rate fisherman.

"Hey, Captain, didn't you say you wanted to take that elf lady to play on the island?"

Hal asked curiously:

"Why are you staying here alone?"

"I actually don't know what happened."

Blake put down the bottle and said with a stern face:

"But my mother seemed very happy that I had brought back a living, beautiful, normal girl without tentacles or scales.

She kicked me out of the house and told me not to go back until evening.

He also said that he would cook his own dishes for the guests to taste.

I don't know what the grudge is between her and the elves, but I just hope my dear prisoner doesn't die of poison from a Kul Tiran-flavored lunch.

Um.

Is your name Caitlin?

If I remember correctly, you are the daughter of Archmage Ansrem? "

The stinky pirate took a sip of wine and looked at Miss Caitlin whose eyes were shining behind Hal. He curled his lips and said:

"Why do you, a direct descendant of Dalaran, come to the territory of our Nathalas Academy? Also, have you changed your alcoholism? Are you still hanging out in bars at night and getting your bodies picked up?"

"No way!"

When Caitlin heard the smelly pirate mention this, she lowered her head shyly and whispered:

"I've given up drinking. Well, at least I won't drink outside of home. I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. Mr. Black, thank you for saving me."

"Well, I actually wanted to kidnap you and ask the Archmage to extort a sum of money."

Blake said maliciously:

"But you were underage at the time and you were covered in vomit, so I gave up. If my daughter becomes like you in the future, I will definitely break her legs.

It's really hard for your dad to raise you up like this all by himself.

Oh, speaking of which, I saw your dad when we were playing in Draenor. He was so timid, you know? We were both about to die at that time, and he was still wiping away his tears as he wrote a suicide note to leave to you.

He really cares about you. "

"Oh, don't say that."

Caitlin reluctantly and awkwardly interrupted Blake's pirate joke. She took out her treasured admission invitation letter from her pocket and handed it to Blake with both hands.

He pretended to cough a few more times and introduced himself:

"Your Excellency, Grand Master of Warlock Academy, I, Caitlin Ruinvivor, would like to apply to join the Warlock School of Narthalas College. Please approve my admission."

"Ah, this is none of my business."

Blake grabbed his chin and shrugged indifferently and said:

"I am no longer the leader of the Warlock School of Narthalas College. Just a few days ago, I did something in the Kingdom of Stormwind that had a bad impact.

Although the matter has not spread yet, in order to draw a clear line between me and the senior management of Nathalas College, Dean Lan Yue has ordered me to be relieved of all my duties. Fortunately, the spellcaster title I worked so hard to obtain has been retained.

So you have to go to the current person in charge of the academy, His Excellency the Great Enlightener Saqir.

But, as the former leader of the school, I still have some rights to make suggestions, such as entrance exams and so on. "

Having said this, the stinky pirate looked up and down at Catherine who looked nervous. He poked his face with his finger, rolled his eyes and asked:

"Can you cast spells?"

"Um."

Caitlin said sheepishly;

"I can throw fireballs and ice arrows, but I haven't had time to learn the others yet."

"Are you seventeen years old?"

Blake squinted and said:

"You have a father who is a great mage, and you just learned the fireball technique? Your talent is really bad. Fortunately, we warlocks don't talk about this. Krypton life learning is really great.

Let me ask you again, can you name more than three demons? "

"able!"

Caitlin clapped her fingers and said:

"Imps, demon guards, succubi, and um, hounds? Damn it! I clearly memorized the demon illustrated book, but now my mind is blank. Maybe I am excited to see someone I admire?"

"Um?"

Blake blinked.

A few seconds later, he clapped his hands and said to Caitlin, who looked desperate in front of him:

"The talent is terrible, the mentality is terrible, and your spell-casting skills are probably terrible, too, but it doesn't matter! Because you have mastered the most beautiful qualities of a warlock.

You know how to please others.

You are very discerning.

And you are very discerning.

I am honored to have a place on the list of admirers in your heart. My dear little sister Caitlin, tell me quietly, which person do you admire in your heart?

If this ranking is high enough, I may consider giving you some kind words. "

"Second."

Caitlin raised her hand and waved.

Blake nodded with satisfaction. He took out his magic pen, wrote his name on Caitlin's admission invitation, and then gave it back to the energetic girl.

He said:

“Go ahead, take it and report to the Warlock Tower.

From today on, you are one of the warlocks filled with dark glory. If you can survive the first three months safely, you will definitely have a bright future. "

"Thank you Captain!"

Caitlin jumped up excitedly and waved her fist, but before leaving, she rolled her eyes and asked:

"Well, I actually want to join your fleet. I have always wanted to be a heroic female pirate, just like the legendary Queen of the North Sea, Ms. Anne Bonn.

I originally planned to become a warlock first and then a pirate, but now I realize that maybe I can be a warlock and a pirate at the same time?

Please, Captain Black, my second most admired man, please grant this humble wish of your admirer. "

"Your father will definitely be mad at your rebellious daughter."

Blake grinned and said:

"But what does this have to do with me being a stinky pirate who doesn't want to get involved in other people's family conflicts? You want to join the fleet, right? OK! For the sake of my bad mood today, I will grant your damn wish."

He took out a pirate emblem from his arms, threw it to Caitlin, and said:

"It happened that the North Sea Fleet asked the academy to send a group of warlocks to sit on the ship. It is said that it is because the annoying elf spellcasters always harass them with magic.

Just go to Beihai as one of them.

If you can survive the first sea battle, I will buy you a drink. The female pirate "Blade" Caitlin is destined to be very majestic in the future. "

"Eh heh heh!"

Caitlin's eyes widened and she exclaimed:

"How do you know the nickname I just gave myself?"

"Because I'm a pirate prophet, you idiot!"

Blake drank down the wine in his hand and scolded Caitlin:

"Now, sailors, and new surgeons, go to your tower and take lessons. If you continue to be undisciplined, I will punish you by wiping the deck!

Oh, by the way, this is for you. "

The smelly pirate casually took out a good-quality pirate scimitar inlaid with draenei gems from his bag and threw it to Caitlin. He said:

"You must protect yourself on a ship full of stinky men. Miss, if any bastard wants to touch you, just use this thing to chop at the hardest part of their body.

I mean brain

Don't think too much about it. "
