Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Azshara dropped the portal and asked everyone to leave and not to disturb her as she sent Elisande on her last journey.

But not everyone wants to leave.

For example, the Sun King and his son had a reason for Anastarian's reluctance to leave. Although the Sunwell in front of him had been massively polluted by evil energy and demons had landed here, the Sun King still had to get it. to something.

"Father, I know this is hard to accept, but the Sunwell is hopeless."

Kael'thas saw his father carrying the Flame Strike and about to rush towards the land of evil energy, and hurriedly reached out to hold him. This action caused the wounds the prince had received from the queen before, making the corners of Kaizi's mouth twitch.

He tried to persuade his father, saying:

"This level of fel contamination means that the Sunwell is connected to the chaotic forces of the Twisting Nether, and we cannot prevent it from becoming a gateway for demons to enter the world.

This is not a trouble and disaster that you can handle alone. Let’s go, let’s evacuate first.”

"No, Kael'thas, you don't understand."

The old king burst into tears at this moment. He grabbed his son's wrist and said to him:

"This is a secret that only successive Sun Kings know. The Sun Well not only contains the magic tide that supports us, my son, there is also the Holy Spirit of the Sun that protects Quel'Thalas.

It was she who raised us, she who protected this country, and she is the real core of strength of the Sunwell. With her, we will be able to rebuild the Magic Well sooner or later.

We must rescue her before the demon destroys her.

Otherwise everything is lost. "

"this"

It was obviously the first time Kael'thas had heard such a statement.

But at this critical moment, his father would not lie to him. Kaizi gritted his teeth, took the Flame Strike from his tired old father's hand, turned around and rushed towards the holy land contaminated by evil energy.

How could you let your old father do such a dangerous thing?

This is the responsibility he must shoulder as his son and future king.

But as soon as Kaizi rushed out a few steps, Blake jumped out of his shadow and hit him on the back of the head with a sap.

Or how can we say that Kaizi is a genius spellcaster?

The stick didn't knock him unconscious.

This was the first time Black had missed a sap. The staggering Kael'thas was about to scold him with his flaming strike, when he saw the impatient pirate swung his stick and hit him on the forehead.

This time the stick was wrapped with a void impact, which instantly knocked Kai Ziqian out.

"Take your son away!"

Black threw the unconscious Kael'thas to the gaping Sun King. He said:

"The Holy Spirit doesn't exist, okay? That's just a superstitious legend passed down from generation to generation. Leave quickly, don't stay here and influence Her Majesty the Queen to save the world."

"You! That's too much!"

The old king was really angry.

Always elegant, he rushed forward to beat Black like a warrior, but the moment he rushed over, Anweina, who couldn't stand it anymore, took the initiative to project her response into the Sun King's soul.

"Little Anastarian, don't be so excited. You are too tired. Go and rest. Don't worry about me. I have already moved to a new place to live under the guidance of Sister Luna.

But I believe we will meet again in the future, little one.

I will bring back to you the hope that was lost through my negligence, and I will protect you as before. "

"puff"

The old king heard this voice that was as familiar as his eldest sister and his mother. After learning that the Holy Spirit of the Sun was safe, he could no longer hold on, and his left leg became weak and he collapsed on the ground.

He glanced at Black for the last time, and the stinky pirate gave him a "I'll tell you later" look. The old king sighed and was no longer stubborn. With the help of several Phoenix guards around him, he helped his son up and walked into the Ai River. In the portal set by Sarah.

"What are you doing here?"

After most of the people evacuated under the majestic pressure of Her Majesty the Queen, the Queen looked back at a few people in the Grand Wizard's Magic Salon, and she said:

"Are you going to witness my great deeds of saving the world?"

"No, Your Majesty,"

Dean Lanyue shook her head. She glared at Black, who was still angry with her, and said to Azshara with respect:

"Just mobilizing the power of the underground magic network to reverse the terrible impact caused by the explosion of the sun well into the demon world is a very difficult task.

We believe you can do this on your own.

But we also want to help, that’s all.

Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Grand Wizard Priory is a neutral organization. We will not tell the truth about what happened today to the public. We know very well that some secrets should be forgotten. "

"Of course, we also have a very wild proposal to stay here."

The former guardian Ms. Aegwynn coughed twice, stepped forward, and handed a gilded invitation to Queen Azshara with both hands. She said seriously:

"We hope that when the next high-level magic salon is held, we will be honored to invite you to join us in discussing the truth of magic, not as the queen, but as the spellcaster Azshara to guide us juniors.

We both have a common goal, Your Majesty, and the demons are our common enemies. Although our starting points are different, we may have limited cooperation. "

"What is your identity? What is my identity?"

Azshara looked at the invitation sent to her coldly and arrogantly. She crossed her arms and said:

"Do you think this invitation is appropriate? Shouldn't you get down on your knees at this time and invite me to join your ridiculous meeting? You are so transgressive, human!"

"Well, maybe so, but we humans, who have only existed for three thousand years, are so rude. This is due to our bad nature and cannot be changed."

Aegwynn rolled her eyes and responded to the Queen rudely.

It’s true that Azshara is the most powerful woman in the world, but she, Magna Aegwynn, even beat Sargeras when she was in her prime. Who among these people here hasn’t done a few glorious things?

Everyone should be embarrassed, okay?

You, a down-and-out Queen of the Deep Sea, can't show off at this time, okay?

"Ahem."

Seeing that the invitation was at an impasse, Dean Blue Moon and the old lich Merry looked at each other and took a knowledge scroll from Merry's hand that was very familiar to Black.

She stepped forward and spoke a few words to Queen Azshara in a very special language that seemed to be a variant of Thalassian, and handed her the scroll in her hand.

The always arrogant Queen frowned and opened the "Graduation Thesis" belonging to Black Shaw in her hand. After quickly browsing it, Azshara's five eyes shone with interest and faint anticipation.

She hesitated for a few seconds, took the invitation from Aegwin, and said to the others:

"This is not a ridiculous meeting that I hope to join you. It's just that my pursuit of magical truth makes me unwilling to miss any possible magical breakthroughs."

"Ah, yes, yes."

A group of people in the Grand Wizard Salon expressed their understanding of the Queen's high integrity, and then they went about their own business.

It's all the same old thing.

Blake had done this kind of thing with them more than once, and everyone was familiar with the job.

After everyone left to do their own business, Azshara suddenly turned to look at Black. The silent gaze made the pirate extremely stressed. Until a few seconds later, the Queen suddenly said:

"I want to meet the dark demigod that was 'artificially bred' by you."

"ah?"

Combined with the previous discussion, Black immediately understood what Azshara wanted to do. He frowned and said:

"Xalatath is in Northrend. Your Majesty, you can see her at any time, but with your strength, it is very troublesome to complete a 'life form reshaping'. The flesh and blood curse on you is N'Zoth himself. released.

I’m afraid it’s difficult to return you to your previous form using ordinary means.”

"Then kill it!"

Azshara said coldly:

"Kill N'Zoth first, and then reverse the curse of flesh.

You can turn a Void Essence into a real flesh and blood demigod. I believe that I can do the same without N'Zoth's influence. "

The Queen reached out and touched her scaly face, her hands shaking.

she says:

"No one can stop me from taking back what belongs to me! No one can!"

"But there is no 'container' in the world that can perfectly carry your strength."

The pirate whispered:

"Too strong is also a kind of trouble."

"There are so many demigods in this world."

Azshara sneered and said:

"This may be the greatest use of their birth in this world. I will always find a suitable container, but N'Zoth must die!"

"Well, let's deal with Elisande first."

Black felt that this was very unreliable, so he suggested to Azshara:

"If this drags on any longer, that desperate guy will probably join the legion and shamelessly choose to become a devil and live freely. You don't want to see this ending either, do you?"

——

Deep in the Sunwell, the place has been filled with all kinds of demons.

As Black said, after suffering consecutive losses, the two great demons of the Burning Legion also learned wisely.

They feel the temptation of the majestic magic of the Sunwell. As long as they respond to the call of this magic, they may be able to enter Azeroth from the world of Argus in an instant and complete a conquest.

But it happened suddenly, and it looked like a bait.

Therefore, the great demons did not act rashly. They sent two hounds released by Lord Sargeras in the world of Argus to explore the way.

If the Dark Titan's hound can return alive, it proves that there is no trap in this matter.

However, although the true form of the great demon has not yet arrived, their will has shrouded the Sunwell through the portal. Therefore, when Elisande entered this place alone, the Deceiver immediately sensed this strange life.

"You! Elf, what do you want to do when you step into the land of Legion?"

Kil'jaeden's low and hollow voice echoed in the ruins surrounded by a large number of demons. It examined Elisande and finally noticed the scepter of Sargeras in Elisande's hand.

"That weapon! It is a plaything that belongs to Lord Sargeras. Did you bring it here to provoke the Legion?"

"No, fraudster."

Elisande took a deep breath, raised the scepter of Sargeras high in her hand, and said:

"I return the property to its original owner. I offer this legion's holy relic just to win a chance to join the legion. I also bring valuable information.

Azshara!

The former Queen of the Elf Empire, now the descendant of the Ancient God, has made a fierce determination to resist the arrival of the Legion in Azeroth.

She arrogantly wanted to face the Dark Titan again.

She wanted to gain from the Legion the power she had been promised but never received.

The contamination and summons of this Sunwell are merely traps set by Azshara's cunning servants, who hope to win a victory against the Legion here. "

"Are you here to show your loyalty?"

The Deceiver let out a low laugh and said:

"Do you sincerely admire the power of the legion, or are you forced into desperation and just want to use the legion to save your life? Haha, I have seen many opportunists like you.

When desperate, he will pray for the protection of the Legion, and once the danger is over, he will want to return to his previous life.

You are not worthy of being relied upon, let alone being favored. You do have great strength and talent, but unfortunately, what the Legion never lacks is strength.

Leave the Scepter of Sargeras behind and go away, elf.

I will spare your life mercifully, but I can't even think of dragging the Legion into your despicable conspiracy. Our power only exists for Lord Sargeras! It will not be exploited by conspirators like you. "

"Hahahahaha"

When the Deceiver's voice fell, a burst of laughter that made the Deceiver extremely angry suddenly rang out in this place full of demons. When Elisande turned back in despair, she saw Black striding out of the shadows.

This arrogant human actually walked in front of Queen Azshara this time, but the Queen did not express any dissatisfaction with this transgression.

Frankly speaking, this made Elisande, who was already in a desperate situation, feel jealous.

"The desperate mouse wanted to join the villains so that he would not be bullied. However, the demons who were deceived again and again also learned their lesson.

They don't want to be dragged into a war that doesn't belong to them by some damn personal grudges.

Tsk tsk, they say that to buy and sell souls, you need to find someone who pays for it, but your pathetic soul can't even be looked down upon by the demons. How ironic, Grand Magister, Queen of the Children of the Night. "

Black stood carelessly in the circle surrounded by a group of demons. He flexed his fingers and walked towards Elisande, who had closed his eyes and completely given up struggling.

He said:

"I gave you a chance, Grand Mage.

We used to be able to work together, but you tried to take advantage of me first and I just fought back.

I have done many, many bad things, but this time, I feel like I am doing justice. "

As he spoke, the pirate spread his hand on Elisande's forehead, raised his other hand, and in the pulling and grabbing of magic power, a large amount of evil energy mixed with the magic power of the Sunwell was taken into his hand.

He looked at Elisande and said:

"Do you have any last words?"

"Yes, but it's not for you."

The Grand Magister closed his eyes and said something.

The pirate shrugged and glanced at the queen behind him.

"Your Majesty, I have let you down, and this is the punishment I deserve."

Elisande took a deep breath and said:

"But what about you? When you were immersed in selfish desires and wanted to dedicate the empire to the Dark Titan 10,000 years ago, did you ever think that you would be in the downfall you are today?

You keep saying that we have failed you.

But the fact is that you abandoned us first. It was you who abandoned your people just for your way to the gods.

I.

Haha, I just made a poor imitation to pay tribute to your behavior.

Your Majesty, I will die today, but your punishment will come one day. I hope that by then, you can perform more perfectly than me. "

"You dare to speak nonsense even when you are about to die?"

Black shook his head, and he used his body as a relay to infuse the captured evil magic power through the fingers pressed on Elisande's forehead.

The magic energy drained from the big pirate made the entire Sunwell shake.

In the low shattering sound, Elisande howled in pain, and dark green torn streams of light emerged under her skin, like the cracks of a sun-dried clay doll.

The infusion of evil energy became more and more intense, causing the Great Mage's eyes, nostrils, and mouth to shine with hot evil light, like a pain that was continuously injected with water until it burst at the last moment.

With a loud "boom", the life named Elisande was shattered into ashes in the explosion of evil fire, flying in the magic flow in front of the pirate.

Black glanced at the delicate skull in his hand that was still exuding evil flames and scorching aura. He turned around and presented it to Azshara in an exaggerated gesture.

He said:

"This is my promise, my majesty. I said that the traitor's head will eventually be presented to you. Of course, her soul has been reserved by the Black Crow Chapter. It is a pity that no matter how good the suture master is, A way to seal the broken bones.

But that doesn't matter.

To the lich, the body is just a burden. "

In front of the pirates, Queen Azshara's face did not show the joy that should be expected from punishing rebellion. On the contrary, Her Majesty the Queen seemed to be waning at this moment.

Without even looking at the hot skull in the pirate's hand, she waved her hands and said:

"The evil here disgusts me, ruin it."

After saying that, Her Majesty the Queen turned around and walked towards the outside of the Sunwell. Behind her, the Deceiver let out a low laugh. Kil'jaeden said:

"Your Majesty Azshara, I heard that you want to take yours back"

"Shut up!"

The Queen responded with an extremely cold voice:

"If you dare to talk any more, I will go through the portal to your world, drag you out of your doghouse and crush you to death! You despicable bitch, didn't Sargeras teach you how to speak to an emperor?"

Kil'jaeden fell silent.

The entire Burning Legion knows that Azshara is not easy to deal with.

Although the current Queen has lost her Well of Eternity, even without the increase of that thing, the Deceiver cannot guarantee that she will be Azshara's opponent.

"Haha, this bitch deserves to be taught a lesson like this. How dare you speak so rudely in front of my loyal Majesty? Come on, tell me your threats and your harsh words. Let's see if my queen and I dare. Past Argus.”

Black played with the Skull of Elisande in his hand, waved to the portal behind him that finally fell silent, and said in a long voice:

"See you next time, my dear man is defeated."
