Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 1384 17. I will drain every coin out of the leader’s wallet! 【1820】

In the Pope's prayer room, His Majesty Alonsos Fao wanted to scold Blake as an ambitious bastard, and wanted to personally drive this crazy guy out of his territory.

But he didn't do it in the end. He looked at the box in front of him where the Naaru fragments were stored, and then at Velen, who nodded slightly to him, so he reached out to take it but saw the pirate's fingers still pressing on the box.

Blake raised his head and looked at Fao, and he warned seriously:

"You have to go get this, Your Majesty.

I will arrange everything, and you remember to send a proper person to take charge of this matter. In addition, I know that the church has sent paladins to the continent of Northrend.

But I want to advise you not to have contact with Lothar recently, let alone try to 'awaken' him with your holy light. What the Lich King needs is not redemption or purification.

After he has satisfied his thirst for victory, he will become calmer, and then the conversation can continue. "

"I don't think this is a warning, more like a warning."

Old Fao stared at Black, and he said angrily:

"But you have to understand that as the leader of the church, I cannot completely determine the decisions made between the various factions."

"Ah, I understand when you say that."

The pirate raised his finger and said:

"I almost forgot that there are various small factions within the Holy Light Church, various religious orders and so on. If they are the ones sent by them, you cannot be blamed.

Let me tell you, how could such a wise leader do such a reckless thing? "

"Your words are even more sarcastic."

Fao shook his head, as if unwilling to discuss this issue further.

On the contrary, the prophet Velen next to him looked at the pirate up and down. When Black was about to say goodbye and leave, the prophet suddenly said:

"You have promoted the search for Frostmourne. I think you must know the battle helmet that matches the magic sword. The Dread Lord we captured provided us with very important information.

They are tempting us to go to Argus to find the Helm of Domination. Faol and I tried to persuade others not to listen to the demon's slander, but the concern for Marshal Lothar made them somewhat at a loss.

Especially His Majesty Varian, the relationship between him and Lothar is too complicated, and he seems to have made some determination.

Aren't you going to intervene? "

"Why should I intervene?"

Blake turned around and said in surprise:

"The child has to do something for his father. This kind of father's kindness and son's filial piety are not enough for me to rush over to drink tea and watch a movie. Why should I ruin the fun with my own hands?

Are you worried about Varian Wrynn's fate? Prophet, when you came into contact with the child king, didn't you notice how violently the thread of his fate fluctuated?

Even I don't dare to get too involved in his fate, otherwise the exploding soul will bring me a 'surprise' if I'm not careful. "

"I saw."

Viren stroked his beard and said:

"The life of that young king is deeply related to the future of human civilization. The Song of Souls showed me several fragments of Varian's future. In each future, he occupies an important position in his actions.

If there is such a thing as a 'son of the world', then Varian Wrynn undoubtedly belongs to this kind of person.

He cannot be bound.

He will always find the ladder to greatness, but what really worries me is that when I left the Kingdom of Stormwind, I sensed signs that Varian's destiny was returning to its original path. "

The old prophet paused, looked at Blake, and said:

"You've changed it, but it's resetting. It's pushing Varian Wrynn back to his original role, more powerful and full of unknown possibilities than he was before."

"Is there such a good thing?"

After hearing Velen's warning, the pirate asked in surprise. He grinned, shook his head and said:

"The young lion began to roar, perhaps because he was once again caught by fate, but whether he can become the Lion King not only depends on his own efforts, but also takes into account the process of history.

As for the changes you're seeing, all I can say is that I'm looking forward to it.

Perhaps the Alliance's 'Supreme King' may reappear in the future?

That would be so interesting. "

After saying that, the pirate looked at His Majesty Faao and confirmed again:

"Then we have an agreement? Your Majesty."

"Um."

Old man Shengguang nodded, stood up and said:

"I will immediately go to Lordaeron and Stromgarde to personally alert King Terenas and His Majesty Solas of the crisis, but are you sure you don't need the church's help?"

"What I have to deal with this time is a pack of wolves, and the Paladins are never good at hunting."

Blake declined:

"I don't want you to rush into the hunting ground I have arranged and rudely make a mess of the wolf trap I set down. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know what you are worried about.

But Gene won't die!

It is clearly in my interests that he be alive than that he be dead.

Gilneas's rule will not fall either.

That suffering country needs a wise king, and I guarantee that Gilneas will still be a member of the Alliance and they will still play a key role in future wars.

Please trust me.

So now, allow me to take my leave, you two. "

The stinky pirate waved to the two old men behind him, retreated and disappeared into the shadows. Watching Black disappear, the old prophet Viren glanced at Faao's crown beside him, and he whispered:

"In addition to his long list of exaggerated titles, Mr. Black is said to be an internal staff member of the Holy Light Church? Having such a subordinate who likes to do nonsense must make you feel exhausted, right?"

"Yes, if the Holy Light hadn't always taught me to be kind and humble, I would have wanted to pick up a war hammer and smash his head with my own hands. I'm not kidding, it's really difficult to suppress such an impulse."

Fao sighed and said:

"Blake Shaw is the absolute worst subordinate and employee you can think of, but what can I say? He always gets into all kinds of trouble, but he has his own damn way of fixing it.

Since he became the Grand Knight of the 'Shadow in the Light', the church has been able to prepare in advance and calmly enter the scene when facing various crises, although he has caused us unexpected trouble.

But he never let us suffer.

I think this is probably why I can tolerate his constant nonsense.

And no matter what other people think of him, in my eyes, he is always the helpless young man who crawled out of hell with the curse of death in the night of Lordaeron and staggered to me for help.

he tells me.

He walks in darkness but serves the light.”

"Can such emotional words convince a leader like you?"

Viren asked curiously.

"I didn't believe it before, Lord Viren."

Fao smiled. This living saint in the world of human faith glanced at the light-cast patterns on the back of his hand. After a few seconds of silence, he said:

“But I don’t know why, the more Blake shows his deviant descent into darkness, the more I believe what he said to me in the first place.

Perhaps, he is just serving the light in his own way.

Without further ado, we still have some time before I leave, so let’s continue discussing the previous topic. "

The old man of Holy Light took a look at the list of the Knights of the Silver Hand that the two of them visited, and he said to Velen:

"Then half a month later, we will send seventy of the best paladins to Shattrath City. I will leave it to you regarding their light casting ceremony."

——

"Good guy, they had no intention of hiding it from me!"

Black, who left the Holy Light's Hope Chapel, did not rush back to Gilneas immediately. He stroked the trembling King of Pain Seal on his finger and searched for mirrors in the town near the chapel.

While walking through the shadows, he whispered:

"Such a big list is there. I really don't treat me as an outsider. But, seventy lightcasters? Maybe this is an important matter for Velen to come to Azeroth?

If the Holy Light Church can allocate 70 light-casting quotas this time, this can only prove that the Draenei are preparing for a larger-scale light-casting ceremony.

They are really doing their best to prepare for the invasion of the Burning Legion again. In comparison, except for the elves on Azeroth, the performance of other civilizations is really disappointing!

The ignorant are truly fearless!

Lothar should be asked to talk to you one by one with Frostmourne! asshole. "

Xal'atath has already gone to Zandalar, and there is no one to chat with and complain about the stinky pirate in the little theater of Black's mind. The little firebird Qiong on his shoulder is eager to try, but there is really nothing to talk about with a beast.

Do you want to discuss with the sky which insect tastes better? This seems to be Black Crow's "professional field", and the Pirate Pirates are not good at it either.

This made Blake feel a little lonely.

This loneliness continued until Blake found a somewhat cracked half-length mirror on the third floor of the town's hotel.

Because he was close to the Holy Light's Hope Chapel, Blake did not create a particularly exaggerated dark effect this time. He just closed the curtains and touched the ring to communicate with the emperor.

But this time it was not Emperor Denathrius who appeared in the mirror, but a Dread Lord.

The same guy Blake had met once.

"Hey, isn't this Lord Mal'Ganis?"

When the pirate saw that he was not the emperor, he immediately returned from being humble and respectful to his usual demeanor. He held his pipe in his mouth, blinked and said:

"You are so anxious to contact me. Is there any news about the Arden Fairy Wilderness?"

"Well, there is indeed a spiritual seed infused with the power of twisted nature that is resurrecting in the Queen's greenhouse that has been abandoned for a long time."

Mal'Ganis said in a businesslike tone:

"Judging from the clues found by our spies lurking in that country, your guess is basically correct. The dark evil god that is resurrecting on the land of Gilneas does come from the Shadow Realm, and it is most likely that it was the work of the Winter Queen.

What the emperor means is that you can handle this matter yourself.

He had already gotten the information he needed, and he didn't care about the outcome of a mortal kingdom's war. "

"I thought the emperor would prepare a reward for me."

Blake complained:

"I presented him with such important news, which is a secret between the Eternals. If I sell such news to the greedy brokers of the Sai Consortium, they will have to give me a house. The brokerage market will be your reward, right?"

"Um?"

The pirate's whispered complaint made the Dread Lord on the other side of the mirror raise his eyebrows.

Mal'Ganis knew that Black was deliberately luring it into the trap, but the Dread Lord's innate desire for secrets made it somewhat unbearable to find this terrible secret.

"You also want to know the secret that even the supreme emperor desires? My dear Mal'Ganis."

Blake seduced in a low voice:

"Go and get me the Helm of Dominance, and I will tell you. I guarantee that you will be the third creature in the entire material stars and the realm of death to know this secret.

It will bring you endless benefits.”

"Don't try to seduce me, you stinky pirate!"

Mal'Ganis woke up with a start, and scolded:

"Jin Taisha's tragic ending is enough to wake me up and stay away from you, a conspirator covered in poison. I will not betray my supreme emperor!"

"I didn't ask you to betray our best emperor, I just wanted to share a secret with you."

The pirate spread his hands aggrievedly and said:

"Just because you know the secret from me doesn't prevent you from continuing to contribute your strength to the Emperor's endless great cause? Also, when will the Stone Legion that the Emperor promised me arrive?

I just need them. "

"Urgent! Urgent! Why?"

Mal'Ganis scolded:

"The Stoneborn Army has its own responsibilities, and it is very troublesome to mobilize it, okay? Just wait patiently, and it will definitely be delivered to you within a month!

That's all.

My magic mirror is out of energy. Let’s talk next time. "

There was a "click", and the moment the Dread Lord hung up the phone, the mirror in front of Blake fell to the ground with a shattering sound. The pirate shrugged, not knowing where the Dread Lord could get such resentment.

He dropped a few silver coins on the table and left them with the shopkeeper as compensation for the broken mirror, then jumped into the shadows and disappeared.

Now that the details of the dark evil spirit that is about to descend on Gilneas, Lycanthos the Howler, are now confirmed, pirates no longer need to be lonely when doing their work.

Ms. Elune's crazy sister is causing trouble for her. If she, a wage earner, can retaliate hard against such provocation, the moon god will probably be very happy.

Big bosses like people who can show their initiative and solve problems proactively without being told to do so.

Oh, right.

This matter also involves Goldrinn.

Goldrinn is the wild demigod that Ms. Elune has always longed for but can't get. If this wave of events can bring Goldrinn to Ms. Elune's eyes, then his achievement will be great.

Although it sounds shameless to take the initiative to find a mistress for the leader, it is really useful.

You have made contributions to the leader a hundred times, but nothing is as good as taking the blame once for the leader. This is the only rule for career advancement.

Maybe when the moon god Elune, whose family and emotional problems have been resolved, will be happy, she will pass on the inheritance of the moon night war god to herself.

Hehe, the plan works!

A bewildered smile appeared on Blake's face. He rode the sky and flew out of the Stratholme area. In the soul link, he shouted to Frostclaw, who was still wandering around in the High Mountains with a pack of wolves:

"Idiot, stop being mad at the she-wolf. Tell Thessaly Black Crow for me and ask her to wait for me in Silverpine Forest. I'm going to visit the rebel organization in Gilneas, and then I'm going to start working."

"Oh, why do you ask me to send a message?"

The big wolf Frostclaw said very unhappily:

"I have a date with two little female wolves tonight. Let Big Horn go! It lies in your treasure house and sleeps in all day long."

"Just go if you are told, why is there all this nonsense!"

Blake scolded:

"As for Dajiao's eloquence, can it convey my words well? It doesn't have that ability, you know, right? It's up to you to do this, so be obedient!

When we kill the dark wolf god of Gilneas, I will give you something that will make you more powerful. "

"That's what you said."

Frostpaw howled over there:

"All my thirty-seven brothers have heard it. You can't default on your debt, bastard master, otherwise I will take them to the port of Tol Barad every day to curse and shout your dark history to everyone who passes by. listen.

Not to mention, those ignorant antlered bull hunters want to tame me again. Haha, let’s have some fun with them today. Boss, you’re busy first.

I went to play. "

"This damn big stupid wolf sounds like his life is much more interesting than mine, and he actually has someone to 'play with' on the High Mountain."

Black cursed unhappily, but soon, a smile appeared on the pirate's face.

He rubbed his chin and thought about one bad idea after another. There was no need to envy others. After all, he also had his own fun.

If you really don’t have any fun, go find it yourself.

What a simple thing.
