Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The children of the night are still very efficient in their actions.

Especially after Elisande became queen, she promulgated a series of decrees to centralize power. After ruthlessly eliminating many useless civil servants and vigorously promoting officials from lower-level backgrounds, the administrative efficiency of the entire Suramar was at a high level. The highest moment in ten thousand years.

In the early morning of the next day after Elisande made his decision, a letter stamped with the twilight lily emblem of the Children of the Night was sent to the captain's cabin of the Nagfar by Old Garni.

Also sent over was a souvenir from the Elf Pirate King Anaris Yuejun.

As a pirate messenger, Old Garni has become accustomed to locating the elusive Nagfar on the endless sea.

This ghost ship also opened space permissions for it, allowing it to freely enter and exit Blake's captain's cabin. This is a rare treatment for outsiders, which fully proves the "traditional friendship" between Blake and Old Garni.

However, the delivery of the letter this time somewhat "frightened" Lao Gani.

"You! What's wrong with you?"

Old Garni, who emerged from the mist, was dumbfounded as he looked at Blake, who was slumped on the big round bed in front of him. His face was pale and thin, and he looked as sluggish as if he was seriously ill.

It screams:

"You were obviously fine when you left Zandalar, why did it suddenly become like this? Have you gone to fight big monsters like Deathwing in the past few days?

Why are you so aggressive?

wrong!

Who else in Azeroth now can beat you into such a miserable state? Please tell me the name of that big shot and let me thank him properly. "

"Asshole! Stop talking sarcastically."

The weak pirate leaned on the bedside, coughed a few times, and said to Old Garni:

"Bring me a glass of water, not alcohol. My ship's doctor, Natalie, said that I have damaged the foundation of my body and cannot drink alcohol for the time being."

"What's going on?"

The god of the slender jaw dragon is a critic, and he is still very reliable when he is really in trouble.

It disappeared with a whoosh and reappeared a few seconds later, with a pot of water at a suitable temperature and fresh fruits picked from the jungles of New Nazmir in its paws.

These fruits were bred by the energy of creation and were full of pure vitality. They were most suitable for weak wounded people like Blake to replenish their bodies.

Facing Old Garni's inquiry, Blake covered his face, showing a weak posture that he couldn't bear to look back on and had been bullied miserably. He took off the quilt and showed Old Ghani his "tortured" body.

Huo, good guy, there are "scars" everywhere!

How can an ordinary person withstand this?

"I'm so stupid, really."

Under Old Garni's suppressed smile, Black said sadly:

"I thought that I would be satisfied by giving her a body, but I didn't expect that an evil spirit like her would be affected by biological instincts. What I didn't expect was why I was stupid enough to give her a snake. Make the body.

That's a snake, you bastard!

It is a terrifying creature that, driven by crazy physiological instincts, will cause its mate to "exhaust herself and die".

I'm so stupid.

real. "

"Gee, this isn't a big loss, is it?"

Old Garni squeezed his eyes and gently patted Blake's messy hair with his paws. Like a gentle and intimate brother, he suppressed a smile and comforted:

"This kind of beauty is beyond the imagination of other men. It's really enviable for a demigod lady to be so in love with you. Speaking of which, do you need me to go to Wharton to catch a few snakes and make soup for you to vent your anger?

I heard that the Zandalari troll witch doctors can also prepare a lot of fun medicines. How about I get you a few packs? It is not so easy to satisfy the desire of a demigod. "

"Go away, you bastard! You were obviously laughing all the time! You never stopped!"

The pirate gritted his teeth and said:

“我昨晚可是把爱情药水当酒喝的，见鬼，我真的不想再来一次了。好了，别偷笑了你这混蛋，在我开始揍你之前，我们说正事吧。”

"Now, this is business."

Old Garni had laughed enough, so he took out two letters from the letter bag on his back and put them in the hands of the pirate. He also thoughtfully helped him tear them open to prevent the "seriously wounded man" from using too much force and getting hurt again.

Black picked up the letter written by Elisande, glanced at it, sneered and threw it aside.

This diplomatic nonsense means nothing.

He then picked up Anares' letter and read it carefully before nodding with satisfaction. Lilith's work efficiency is really impressive. She is worthy of being the head of the Yuejun family, and she is really good at politics.

Even though Elisande knew that the Yue County family was having an affair with pirates, she could still make the Queen of the Night Son trust her so much.

"She asked me to meet her outside Suramar tonight."

Blake shook his head, picked up a pen and paper, wrote a reply, handed it to Old Garni, and said to him:

"Send this letter to Anarres, and ask her to use her sister's method to deliver it to His Majesty Elisande, and don't come in or out of Suramar.

Let’s talk about it after this period of time has passed. "

"OK."

Lao Gani readily agreed.

Before it left, it turned around and winked and asked:

"You really don't need me to help you make a pot of snake soup to relieve your anger? It can also replenish your body."

"roll!"

The pirate roared angrily and threw his pillow at Old Garni. The God of the Slender-gnathed Dragon let out a series of strange laughs, wagging his tail and disappearing into the smoke with a bang.

It really likes to see Blake's jokes.

I must write down this dark history today, and use it to blackmail this bastard pirate if necessary in the future.

The plan works!

After Old Garni left with a strange smile, the captain's cabin became quiet, and Black lay on the bed with a helpless expression in the shape of "Tai".

In fact, he is not as weak as he looks on the surface. After all, he is the chosen one of the Moon God. How could his physical strength be so poor? He just used this method to protest against Xal'atath's excessive demands.

Now it seems that the effect is okay.

"Hey, come with me to Suramar tonight."

Blake closed his eyes and said:

"I'm going to discuss this joint operation with Elisande, and by the way, confirm whether our Queen of the Night has really fallen into a trap.

She is a very smart lady, just in case she wants to take advantage of me.

Uh, no!

She would definitely try to take advantage of me.

I have to find a way to make her feel that she has taken advantage of me. Do you think I should tell her about Sephiel? "

"Do you take the initiative to expose your weaknesses to the enemy?"

Maiev, holding a pot of hot soup, appeared next to the pirate. She nodded and said:

"It's a very good deceptive tactic, but if you want Elisande to believe you, you have to act more realistically, just like you pretended to be sick to deceive Xal'atath."

"I did not lie to Xal'atath, my dear Maiev."

Blake sighed and said:

"She just feels sorry for me, so she pretends to be fooled. She has always cared about me, unlike you who sells her lover to other women just for your own leisure.

Gee, it really makes me feel chilled. "

"It's all like this, does it just make you feel chilled?"

Maiev leaned down and kissed the pirate's forehead. She said seriously:

"It seems that my status is indeed very high in your heart. Okay, don't be childish. I also have the right to express my attitude, don't I?

Get up, eat, clean up your appearance, and let's go to Suramar together.

Oh, by the way, I want to ask one more question. "

The warden stood up straight, looked at Black, and said:

"Nassa just informed me using the Watcher's contact information. Elisande also sent a messenger to the Kaldorei. She requested a temporary alliance with the Kaldorei elves to deal with the threat of the Deep Sea Empire.

Based on my understanding of the members of the Sisterhood of Elune, they have a lot in common with Elisande when it comes to dealing with Azshara, so it is very likely that they will reach a certain degree of cooperation with Elisande. protocol.

Since you are about to make Elisande your next prey, I have to ask you, will the Kaldorei be involved? "

"No! I have always been clear about grudges."

Blake waved his hands and said:

"Actually, this is an opportunity. As long as Elisande leaves Suramar and goes to Quel'Thalas, I can prevent her from ever returning to the city of ten thousand years.

But Queen Azshara wants to restore the territory and dignity of the Elf Empire. You don't want to see Suramar fall into the hands of Naga, right? "

"What are you implying?"

Maiev blinked.

She felt that there was something in Blake's words.

The pirate shrugged, put his arm around Maiev's neck, pulled her ear to his mouth, and whispered in a whisper:

"I haven't been to the ancestral home of the Shadowsong family yet. I want to see the place where you grew up as a child. I want to see your boudoir. Although the Kaldorei have always been Buddhists, as the largest elven faction at present, you You should shoulder your responsibilities to your fellow citizens.

Perhaps, you can take over Queen Elisande's unfinished business.

I mean, unite with other elven factions and form the Alliance to Resist the Queen or something like that. Anyway, His Majesty Tyrande and Queen Azshara have a never-ending relationship.

This would serve the interests of the Sisters of Elune, wouldn't it? "

"."

Maiev was silent for a moment, then she said:

"I will convey your suggestions to Tyrande, but what she decides is none of my business."

"Well, although Ms. Tyrande is sometimes stubborn and sometimes reckless, I trust her decision-making on such important matters. Also, if anyone asks, don't scare me out."

Blake patted Maiev's slender waist and said:

"I am the chief of the palace guard of Queen Azshara, and I receive a salary from her. I don't want to be disliked by my queen and lose my job."

"Do you really like to play both sides and call yourself a loyal servant of those guys?"

Maiev complained:

"Do you really have no idea of ​​turning over and becoming the master?"

"Look at what you said. It's like what a fool would say."

The pirate rolled his eyes and said:

"When I serve one monarch, of course I am a slave, and I have to do my best to meet the needs of the big shots. But when I serve ten monarchs at the same time, it is the monarchs' turn to satisfy my needs to achieve their goals. purpose.

My worth is only to the extent that my dark wisdom serves someone.

When I call them 'Your Majesty', it means that I can hide in their shadows and plan my own conspiracy. Those idiots who shout for justice want to kill me?

sure!

As long as they can defeat the dozen or so majesties in front of me first and come to me alive, they can take my head as they please.

You don’t really think that just because I call myself a ‘loyal servant’, that means I’m working for someone else, right? "

"It makes so much sense to jump left and right, I have nothing to say."

Maiev complained:

"Hurry up and put on your pants. It's a long way from here to Suramar. It's time for you to set off to serve your 'Your Majesty Elisande', you 'Loyal Servant of All'."

——

In the evening, on the Suramar coastline, in the swaying light of the portal, a gloomy-looking Black wearing a pirate uniform appeared in the wilderness of Suramar, accompanied by Maiev wearing a moonlit night armor.

Of course, Maiev has a special status. She follows the pirates in an invisible manner.

If Queen Elisande is planning to do something dangerous, Maiev will definitely give her a big surprise.

On the beach in front of the pirate, the very impressive Queen Elisande was already waiting for him. Elite magic swordsmen were guarding the Queen of the Night, and they all stared at the pirate with cold eyes.

But Blake paid no attention to these pathetic junkies.

His eyes fell on several blind Nightborne men in formal clothes behind Elisande. Those guys gave him a very familiar feeling. It was the resolute aura of the demon hunters from Illidari.

With the poor spiritual training of the Children of the Night, I don’t know how many lives Elisande spent to train so many demon hunting masters?

"Hello, Lord Black."

Seeing the pirate approaching alone, Queen Elisande, who was sitting on a luxurious chair in the style of Nightborne, gave a gentle greeting.

Blake stared at her, his eyes moving down from her face to Elisande's almost nonexistent skirt. The two long legs decorated with magic accessories were intertwined in front of the pirate's eyes.

"Ahem"

The stinky pirate pretended to be innocent and turned his head. He said as a "kind reminder":

"Although I think the purple thong really suits your style, the strange welcome custom of exposing your underwear in front of a man you meet for the first time is really refreshing to me."

"you"

Black's answer made Elisande feel angry. She changed her sitting position and said coldly:

"I heard that you have a great elf arcanist as your mentor. Didn't Alya Blue Moon teach you etiquette?"

"Taught, but I am a pirate, my lord."

Blake coughed a few times and said:

"I can't control what I want to see with my eyes. Shamelessness is our virtue, and despicability is our style. In fact, if I don't keep peeking at your perfect body, it is already an act against professional ethics.

Well, my Majesty, I am not here to irritate you, but I am very interested in your joint proposal.

Those stupid white-skinned elves actually dared to join the Alliance's attack on me regardless of life and death. This made me full of disgust for them. I really wanted to teach those idiots a lesson.

You may not know it, but my pirates have circled back to the shores of Stratholme, and we are ready to launch an attack on Quel'Thalas at any time.

We need powerful spellcasters like you to help us break those nasty magic barriers. "

The pirate spread his hands and said bluntly to Elisande:

"But before we can truly cooperate, I must make a personal request that may offend you a little, but my first mate is a dead ghost bronze dragon."

"Ms. Sephiel, the 'Pirate Dragon', her name has spread across the endless sea along with her reputation as an undead pirate. Even an ignorant person like me has heard of it."

Elisande looked at Black and said:

"I heard that she is still your lover?"

"No, please don't listen to those boring gossips. Sephiel is not my lover."

Blake explained:

"She's my wife.

I won't hide it from you, but my wife is having some time flow troubles.

I asked my mentor to look into it, and she told me that in the absence of some magical object that could affect time, there was absolutely nothing we could do to help my wife, who was lost in the time stream.

Coincidentally, as far as I know, only Suramar has a rare item that can affect time.

Eye of Aman'Thul"

The pirate looked at Elisande in front of him. He raised his hand and threw out a treasure house key composed of wind elements. It fell into the hands of the Queen of the Night. Black said:

"This is the key to an elemental treasure house near Zandalar. I extorted it from Gaboa. Now it and the elemental treasures in it belong to you.

I want to borrow the Eye of Aman'Thul!

If the money is not enough, you can always ask, Your Majesty, I must borrow your treasure. This is the basis of our cooperation, no negotiation! "
