Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The ghost ship docked in Tol Barad Bay has been very busy since this morning. In addition to the ghosts on duty, other ghost sailors are gathering and walking around on the deck.

It was like a big happy party, and all the invited crew members were in high spirits.

They even played the "traditional arts" of pirates.

Someone brought a few pigs from the shore, greased them and let them run around on the deck. A large group of weird-looking ghost sailors screamed and caught pigs everywhere, making the originally quiet and solemn Nagfar become chaotic and lively like a vegetable market. Same.

But this weird scene is definitely not because the ghost sailors are crazy, but because they have been "trained" by Captain Black to be too discerning.

After the second mate on the ship took over the position of the first mate last night and began to take over the ghost ship and implement his own "rule", the sailors knew how to please the "new first mate" who likes to have fun. .

It turns out that the lively scene they created really satisfied the little star mate who started patrolling the ship early in the morning.

Unlike Sephiel, who is virtuous and pursues order, Little Xingxing obviously prefers the chaotic scene in front of her that is full of vitality and everything is competing. Her little mind, which is different from ordinary people, stubbornly believes that only such excitement is more suitable for a pirate ship. The chaotic momentum it deserves.

"Let's make some noise and laugh! That's it!"

Her Royal Highness Little Star, who was wearing a pirate uniform, was lying on the railing on the second floor of the stern of the ship, waving the command knife in her hand happily toward the deck below, and she shouted:

"Whoever can catch the pig will be rewarded with meat! Fish people, let out all your snails. The most lively and gorgeous snail competition in history will be held at noon today!

I got a super giant snail from the sewers of the Isle of Thunder in Pandaria!

I am determined to be the ‘King of Snails’ this year! "

In the shouts of Little Star, the fish-man pirates quickly obeyed the new first mate's order. They lifted the snail racing track from their cabin and quickly occupied the best position on the deck. .

Little Xingxing nodded with satisfaction. Miss Milly, who was also wearing a pirate costume behind her, blinked and looked around. This loyal book fan and secretary of His Highness Little Xingxing whispered to his proud Highness:

"Isn't this too noisy? Your Highness, I heard from those pirate stories that our captain is probably a big bad guy who likes to hide in the dark and think about conspiracies.

Will our fun outside affect his dark wisdom? "

"Won't!"

Little Xingxing patted her high chest and said confidently:

"No one understands Captain Stinky better than me. Sephiel is gone. How can he, who has always been affectionate, still be in the mood to think about conspiracies? He is probably hiding in the captain's cabin secretly wiping his tears.

Our captain is the most beloved person in the endless sea of ​​Azeroth.

He wasn't even willing to give up on that dangerous little bitch of Xal'atath.

Besides, although I made the Naqfar lively, I have done all the things I should do as the first mate. Now I am just waiting for the last batch of fresh water and food to be delivered to the ship. We can set sail at any time!

Don't worry, it'll be no problem. "

The idiot Blue Dragon turned around and patted his secretary on the shoulder arrogantly, and she warned:

"You are going to record our pirate journey to Zandalar. Such a record can be used as a footnote in my new autobiography. Describing a journey in the third person will make the story more realistic.

If you do a good job, my dear Milly, I will consider making you the second author in the author column of the new autobiography. "

"Uh-huh!"

Miss Milly, who comes from a family of brewers in North County, heard the cake that Little Xingxing drew for her. She suddenly felt yearning and expectation. She nodded vigorously and immediately took out a pen and paper to record the journey of His Highness Little Xingxing. All the stories that happened.

The fact seemed to be as Little Star had expected. Although under her order, the style of the Nagfar changed almost overnight, Blake, as the captain, did not care about it.

He never even left his captain's cabin.

Of course, the reason why the pirates didn't leave was definitely not because they were hiding in the cabin wiping tears as Little Star slandered.

"Now, I know from the dean that you performed very well in the last weekly exam, which made me very satisfied, so I prepared a reward gift for you."

In the captain's cabin, Blake took something out of his bag and placed it on the ground in front of him.

Miss Ship Spirit, who ran back hand in hand with Little Leshi, had her eyes widened. She still maintained the demeanor of a red panda, but the student robe of Nathalas Academy of Magic she was wearing gave this energetic Ship Spirit a It brings a rare bookish atmosphere.

When he saw his reward, he let out an exclamation and reached out to play with his "gift".

It was a huge demon head.

It was a "dedication" from the superior demon, the doomsday overlord Kazzak. Black had spent time processing the head so that it would not emit a strange smell while still retaining the majesty and evil of the head.

This new stern figure is awesome!

Little Nagfar fell in love with it as soon as he saw it.

She decided to put this "jewelry" given by her father on the stern platform of her ship soon. It would definitely improve the ghost ship's style by several levels in an instant.

"Dad! If I can get full marks in every exam in the future, will there be such a great gift every time?"

The boat spirit happily threw herself into the smelly pirate's arms. She nuzzled him like a little panda, and then raised her head to look at Blake with her bright eyes.

That look and that question made Blake Alexander.

The smelly pirate rubbed his head and said:

"Even a mighty big daddy like me can't guarantee that I'll get you a high-level devil's head every week. This time I met you.

However, if your monthly exam results this month can satisfy the dean, I can consider preparing a great 'birthday gift' for you. "

Blake patted the boat spirit's daughter on the head, then looked at the envious little Leshi, he sighed and said:

"As for you, little Lei Shi, you failed in four subjects in the weekly exam last week. It's not like your talent can produce results. Maybe you can explain the reason. Is it because you are not adaptable to the teaching pace of the college? ?

Do you need me to give the dean some advice? "

"Uuuuuuuuah, it's not the dean's problem, it's just that I'm too stupid."

Little Leshi let out a whimpering cry, covered his big head with both hands, lowered his head and said in shame:

"Compared with little Nagfar and little Gianna, I am a big idiot. What they can understand quickly, it takes me a long time to learn.

But the dean and tutor said that my situation is special.

She will not judge my future or my talent based on my test scores, but if the test is so bad, extra homework will definitely be necessary. "

"It's because Xiao Leishi's foundation is too poor."

Nagfar nuzzled in Blake's arms, and she explained to her friend:

"She knows nothing about the basic principles of magic, and she relies on her talent to fight against anything she encounters. The dean said that she doesn't expect Reshi to learn anything in the past few months, and must first reverse the bad habits she developed in the past.

I'll help her finish her homework.

In fact, I found that the homework assigned by the dean was not very difficult, especially when doing homework with little Aunt Gianna, she would always tell me stories about dad when you were young.

I like to hear it.

But do you really not need me to go to Zandalari with you? "

The ship spirit raised her head and looked at Blake. She asked worriedly:

"And Mother Sephiel, does it really matter if she goes to fight the very bad bronze dragon by herself? I can't feel her presence when I return to the captain, and I always feel so flustered."

"You have to have faith in your mother Sephire."

Blake rubbed Nagfar's little head, kissed her furry forehead, and said:

"I will bring her back safely. Just study with the dean and help me when you grow up. Go ahead and go out with little Lei Shi to play with the stupid little Xingxing.

I know you both like the excitement that Little Star has created.

But remember to say goodbye to your mother, Maiev, before you leave.

Be a good boy. "

"She's not the mother!"

Nagfar shook his head stubbornly and said:

"I don't like her. She used to bully me for being stupid and used the soul stone to seduce me to keep her secret. I already gave her face by not throwing her into the sea.

snort. "

The boat spirit snorted proudly, jumped down from the pirate ship, and used magic with Xiao Lei to hold up Kazak's head. He left the captain's room with a roar, and shouted to a group of ghost sailors to help them lift this The devil's head hangs from the back of the ship.

Watching the Ship Spirit's daughter leave, Blake immediately rubbed his head, then turned to look at the window of the captain's cabin, where a burning falcon stood quietly.

"You can definitely go through the main entrance!"

Blake said dissatisfied:

"This window is my 'pet passage' to the sky, what? Do you want to miss the old days?"

"I think you just deserve a beating, Mr. Black."

Standing on the window, the Great Druid of Hisari Black Crow combed the flame feathers on her body with her sharp beak, and she spoke in human words:

"I'm very busy right now, with a lot of things happening in Gilneas, but I rushed over as soon as I received your message, so don't waste time, okay?

Is there anything important that I need to make a special trip to deliver? "

"this!"

The pirate took out a silver-gray anima container from his luggage, held it in his hand and opened it to the black crow. What was inside was a ball of black floating anima.

Of course, what a creature like Black Crow, who cannot see the existence of anima, sees is a strange floating mist.

"This is an anima sphere from Lycanthos the Howler. I was planning to use it myself."

Blake closed the container, tossed it up and down in his hands, and said:

"But I soon realized that if I took this ball of anima, it would mean that the relationship between me and Lord Goldrinn would deteriorate again, which was not good news.

I also don’t want to be hated by the now awesome Wolf God.

Therefore, I ask you to send this thing to Draenor and teach it to Old Staghelm yourself. "

"You're really crazy."

Hisali Black Crow jumped down from the window and transformed into the form of a flame elf in front of the pirates. She pulled her crimson hood to cover her face, and whispered to Black:

"Give the power of an evil spirit to a highly respected archdruid. You used to be secretive about doing bad things, but now you don't even pretend to do it?"

"Huh? Highly respected?"

Blake squinted at the black crow and said:

"You seem to have no idea who Old Staghelit is. If you knew what he had done in the past, your outlook would be shattered on the spot.

If you are interested, you can ask him yourself. I don’t think he will hide anything from you in his current state of mind. I can only say that it is really good for everyone that Staghelm chooses to stay in Draenor.

In addition, the power of this evil spirit is extraordinary.

The wild and bestial potential of this mass of mind is secondary to its truly precious core, which is where it was born. "

The pirate raised the anima container in his hand in front of his eyes, as if looking at the rarest jewelry, and said softly in front of the suspicious Miss Black Crow:

“It comes from the realm of the dead that Old Staghelm dreams about. It was sent into the material world by an Eternal when the curtain of life and death was stable, which means that it retains the characteristics of both life and death.

It's like a key and a signpost.

It can open a door for Old Staghelm to 'reversely sneak' into Ardenweald under impossible circumstances.

It couldn't give Staghelm what he wanted now.

But it allows Staghelm to satisfy the endless desire in his heart at some cost, and even satisfy the desire of his family.

Young people like you who have never lost a loved one will not understand the pain of not getting what you want, so you cannot understand the price Staghelm would pay for this piece of heart. "

Blake shook his head and put the silver-gray anima container in Black Crow's hand.

He warned:

"The existence of this thing cannot be known to anyone else. You must deliver it to Staghelm yourself, suppress your curiosity, Black Crow, don't open it and don't touch it.

Anyone who tries to get close to it needs to be taught a lesson.

Because once the thing in your hand falls into the hands of fools, another Lycanthos can be created in an instant. You don’t want to see that terrible evil spirit resurrected in the world you love and protect, right? "

"this"

Upon hearing the pirate's instructions, Miss Black Crow immediately felt that the cold anima container in her hand became hot to the touch. She frowned and said:

"You should probably choose someone you trust more to ship it."

"That's why I called you."

The pirate slumped on his vulgar and luxurious captain's chair as if he had no bones. He took his pipe and said:

"I don't even dare to let the Uncrowned escort this thing. It's not that I don't trust my subordinates, but they really lack the experience to resist the bestial conscription.

You are different.

Go ahead and get this done as quickly as possible, and tell old Staghelm that I owe him nothing, and he owes me nothing.

It was clear between me and him. "

These words made Miss Black Crow look up at Blake with a complicated expression, but she ultimately did not choose to refuse the task.

Throwing the anima container into his luggage, he turned into a flaming eagle and flew out of the window, quickly disappearing in the sky of Tol Barad.

"I thought she would give you a farewell kiss. After all, when you said you trusted her the most, Miss Black Crow's heart was filled with strange sweetness.

You really brought her out, evil little master. "

Xal'atath's voice suddenly sounded in Blake's ears, making the stinky pirate blink his eyes, and he asked:

"Didn't you go to Zandalar to show off your 'new clothes' to the Loa? Why did you suddenly come back?"

"My true body is still in the Wharton Desert."

Xal'atath said dissatisfiedly:

"I came back to tell you, hurry up and don't waste any more time. Just yesterday, the faithless snake people dug through the seal under the ruins of Atuaman.

I have seen with my own eyes what lies beneath the seal, and I am suppressing it, but not for long.

Come here quickly!

Seriously, the situation on Zandalari will soon enter a very, very bad situation. That thing in Uldir has awakened. If nothing else, it should be N'Zoth again.

Our Corruptor is itching again.

It needs a good beating from the lawless 'Corruptor Bane' stinky pirate! "
