Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"boom"

Violent explosions resounded throughout the world, just like a nuclear bomb exploding from the ground. Its terrifying aftermath turned into the force of impact and razed all the buildings on Kui Island to the ground.

The island was flattened and shattered in an instant, and the magical holy land of Quel'Thalas was completely ended.

It's like the hasty end of an era.

The golden and dark green pollution magic was sent into the sky in the explosion, forming quite scary and strange clouds. Several teleported blue dragons spread their wings and flew. They tried their best to prevent these pollution magic from being sent into Azeroth. Sri Lanka's magic network cycle.

Like a cleaner after a big event.

So diligent and conscientious, yet so inconspicuous.

The blue dragons can come here early.

But obviously, they have no intention of getting involved in mortal wars or facing dangerous people like Azshara.

Besides, the blue dragons who are responsible for maintaining the magical balance of Azeroth have long disliked the Quel'dorei elves' Sunwell.

Such a large magic well has been here for thousands of years, and it has seriously affected the flow of the magic network in the entire eastern continent. The Quel'dorei elves used the magic well to increase the concentration of magic in their land to an exaggerated level. This kind of magic well has been here for thousands of years. The act of intercepting magic power is not acceptable to the Magic Legion.

If the Spellweaver hadn't been in an emo state for the past thousand years and couldn't fight, and if the Blue Dragon clan hadn't been depleted of people and had no chance to fight, this outrageous well would have been razed by the Blue Dragon long ago.

But the blue dragons don't care, but there are many people who do.

On the deck of the pirate ship sailing on the sea, there were crowds of elves who had evacuated from Kui Island. They were stunned to see their holy land being destroyed in the explosion, and they were all in pain and couldn't help themselves.

Every white-skinned elf and black-skinned elf had tears on their faces.

It was the pain of grief and loss.

Quel'dorei will be reduced to a second-rate force after losing its holy land, and the pain of the Nightborne is that they clearly have the opportunity to turn the holy land into their own treasure, but they sit back and watch it be destroyed in front of their own eyes.

This complicated feeling of not getting what you want is something that the pirates around drinking and watching the fun cannot understand.

In fact, this group of pirates were probably the only ones at the scene who felt happy. The "tolls" from this trip carrying the elves to escape were enough for them to make a lot of money.

On the deck of the North Sea pirate flagship "Queen Anne", which was urging the Ancestral Turtle Tide Priest to come back to "make big money", General Shandris Feathermoon was sitting tiredly on a barrel looking at the collapse of the Sunwell.

Her mood at this time was also very complicated.

On the one hand, as a night elf, she has always ignored Quel'dorei's abuse of magic. Now that the Sunwell has been destroyed, it has ended the magical disaster that the Sisters of Elune have been worried about restarting.

But on the other hand, she could feel the despair represented by the Quel'dorei's heart-wrenching cries.

Put yourself in their shoes, these white-skinned elves who do not have enough magic power are bound to usher in a bleak era. How will they survive what comes next?

If the Nightborne can't get the Sunwell, they can still go back to Suramar and drink magic wine. What should the Quel'dorei elves do?

"What are you thinking about?"

The pirate king of the North Sea, Anne Bonn, came over with a bottle of wine and said to General Shandis in the same manner as Tao:

"Do you forest elves who live in the trees also feel sorry for the magic elves? I heard that the relationship between you is very bad. Although you are both descendants of the empire, your ideas and lifestyles are completely different."

"The hatred exists and the divisions exist."

Shandris answered melancholy in human language:

"But the empathy is there, and I just feel sad for our fellow citizens who are parting ways, that's all."

"Well, is that so?"

Annie took a sip of wine, tilted her head and thought for a while, then said:

"The emotions of you elves are really delicate and rich. It's not like us humans, who can live for more than a hundred years before dying. Who has the heart to think so much?

Speaking of which, have you prepared the money to pay us for sending you away? "

"Um?"

General Shandis suddenly frowned and said:

"Didn't you pay when you boarded the ship?"

"That's the boat fare, but this is the labor fee, which is different."

Anne said plausibly:

"We have paid off the money for taking you out of the danger zone, but we still have to send you back to Sun Chaser Island. This trip is a waste of time.

So you have to compensate us for the energy wasted on this. "

"You pirates are really hopeless!"

General Yuyue shook his head and said:

"What if I don't give it?"

"Then get off the boat exactly where you are!"

The North Sea Pirate King said unhappily:

"My boat does not carry poor people. You can swim back to Sun Chaser Island from here. This method costs no money and you can exercise. How great."

"They just lost the Holy Land and fled in a hurry. How can they give you any money?"

General Yuyue clenched his fists and said:

"Be careful to arouse their anger and steal your ship."

"Who dares?"

Annie snorted, raised her hand and waved, and immediately there was something bad going on under the water. The North Sea Pirate King said proudly:

"If I dare to let you on board, I won't be afraid of you causing trouble. Pay me quickly! This is the order of Commander Black. If you don't pay me, you will go into the water to feed the fish! Hey, I didn't capture the beloved Silver Moon City. I'll suffer a big loss this time. .

The money we don’t earn comes from you.

Of course, General Yuyue is so noble that we stinky pirates can't afford to offend him. The boss said that for the sake of his traditional friendship with the night elves, you and your night elves don't have to pay.

But no one else can lose a penny! "

"Don't you have any sympathy at all?"

General Yuyue looked better after hearing that she and her subordinates did not have to pay, but she still complained:

"Look at these poor people, can't you be merciful for once?"

"We all put them on the ship, why are we not merciful? If we were really cruel, we should leave you all on the island to die."

The hard-hearted Annie snorted, pushed up her pirate hat and stopped talking nonsense with Shandis.

But a few minutes later, General Yuyue suddenly seemed to feel something. She quickly grabbed a cable and climbed to the observation deck on the mast like the most dexterous monkey, looking towards the southwest sea.

A few seconds later, General Shandis jumped down from the height and performed three graceful somersaults before landing in front of the drunken Captain Anne.

With a strange smile, she pointed to the sea in the distance and said to the North Sea Pirate King who was counting money:

"Hey, you guys are in trouble."

"What?"

Anne raised her head in surprise, then picked up the telescope and looked in the direction pointed by Shandis. She kept adjusting the focus of the telescope. After a few seconds, the North Sea Pirate King's body started to tremble.

"Damn it! The Sea King! Why did it appear here? And those Lordaeron warships! What's going on? Kul Tiras participated in the war?"

"Quick! Find old Gani and pass this news to the commander-in-chief!"

"We're in trouble."

——

As the magical aftershocks of Quel'Danas, which was razed to the ground and the islands exploded, gradually subsided, Black sat on a collapsed palace wall and looked at the devastated land in front of him.

The corpses of the demons who were killed by the explosion were everywhere. The most conspicuous thing was the location of the original sunwell, where a large pit appeared, and in the pit lay two half-dead scorched hounds.

Xiu Gou, who was tamed by Lord Sargeras himself, was indeed extraordinary. He was not dead even after ingesting the power of a sunwell explosion at close range.

Black didn't intend to go up and hit the target.

These two half-dead but still terrifying demon demigods will become a disaster that ravages the northern border, and their existence can better remind those stupid kings and lords.

The devil is with you.

"Are you sure you don't want this?"

The pirate was playing with Elisande's skull in his hand. In his other hand, he held a ball of anima that emitted earthy yellow light. On his wrist, there was also a delicate and surprisingly large soul stone imprisoning the great magister. A weak soul.

Lord Ravencrest would pay a handsome price for the soul he destined for.

Black looked at Queen Azshara standing next to her. Her Majesty the Queen has been in this emo state since Elisande's death. If she didn't know the cause and effect, she would think that the Queen was bullied by someone.

But the actual situation is that she has just single-handedly bullied all the high-level combat forces in the entire alliance.

Her melancholy at this time probably came from Elisande's accusation before her death, or the "curse". The queen would indeed accept her own trial in the future.

She has a lot to lose.

Even she herself will become a miserable prisoner.

Black has seen that future firsthand.

"I don't have the habit of collecting skulls. If you like, you can take them yourself."

The Queen whispered:

"What should I say? The things that I may have been avoiding were told by Elisande to my face, so that I can no longer force myself to forget the past.

I.

I did do something wrong.

I personally destroyed my empire and almost destroyed the world.

I was so arrogant at that time."

"Hey, Your Majesty, although I can help others perform operations, I am not a psychiatrist."

Blake complained:

"Perhaps I should go and bring you a priest now to listen to your confession?"

His joking joke did not win a response from the Queen, and the silence that followed lasted for a long time until the tide began to rise, which meant that the Queen was leaving what she considered a barren land.

But when she moved her tentacles and submerged half of her body underwater, Azshara suddenly turned back and said to Black:

"Come here and I'll tell you a secret."

"Um?"

Hearing the secret, the pirate immediately became energetic and took a few steps towards the queen. The next moment, without any preparation, Azshara reached out and pulled him into the water.

The Queen's four arms moved forward to hug Black into her arms, and then, a cold kiss fell on the pirate's lips.

The movement frightened Blake.

Well, although he doesn't hate the enthusiasm of the girls, Azshara

Hiss, it’s scary to think about it.

"Don't think too much, this is just a reward from your queen for your perfect service, black prophet."

Azshara didn't take a step closer. She pushed the pirate away and said to him seriously:

"Do you know what kind of prophecy you made to me after you played with me in my court ten thousand years ago?"

"Well, I can probably guess."

The pirate touched his lips, which seemed to still contain the special feeling brought by the queen's kiss. Speaking of which, does Queen Azshara also like to use raspberry-flavored lipstick?

It's sweet.

"I guess I prophesied to you the destruction of the empire and your fall."

Blake tilted his head and said:

"But what I'm very curious about is, I clearly predicted all this, why are you still unwilling to fight against fate and instead go with it?"

"Because you gave me more than one prophecy."

The Queen sank into the water little by little, and she whispered:

"Just now, I finally understood the meaning of the second prophecy you gave me. Black, you must help me complete the reshaping of the curse of flesh and blood, and you must help me rebuild the empire.

That was the second chance you promised me.

I have been paying attention to you, helping you, and even willing to drive you, all for that hope.

You said I could be the light of lights again.

Remember your promise!

If you fail me, I will show you what the most powerful woman in the world can do to men. "

Azshara's figure completely disappeared into the flow of sea waves.

As she left, the water became gentle again. Blake stood in waist-deep water, and he felt like he had another piece of the puzzle that revealed the truth from ten thousand years ago.

Well, that future is becoming clearer and clearer.

It's like a list of things that pirates must do when they return to 10,000 years ago, one by one.

"Hey, I just saw it!"

Old Garni's sharp voice suddenly sounded behind the pirates. Blake looked back at the avant-garde phantom of the God of the Slender Jaw, who had already found a lot of strange garbage in the ruins of the Sunwell. This rich harvest made Old Garni Smile brightly.

Of course, there is more than just the joy of harvest in the smile of this damn expressive God of the Slenderjaw Dragon.

It winked at Blake and said:

"Okay, you have hooked up with Queen Azshara. You have really strong tastes, but you have also done what all men want to do but don't have the guts to do."

"Hey, I can pretend I didn't hear your nonsense, but the Nagas under Queen Azshara will not think you are farting."

The pirate picked up his pipe and said unhappily:

"If you have something to say, pick up trash if you have nothing to do. Look at how great this ruin is. There is enough trash in it for you to pick up for several years."

"Yeah, yeah, I like this place that was bombed."

Old Garni said cowardly:

"But I will only act after those two dogs leave. They are too dangerous. I think they can bite Akunda to death.

What a terrible demon.

In addition, I must have something to come to you for. Just now, your subordinates discovered the Alliance fleet and Quel'Thalas fleet returning from Northrend at the border of Quel'Thalas sea area.

But guess who is leading them?

You'll never guess it. "

"whispering sound."

Blake curled his lips, moved his neck, and said:

"Isn't it Dai Lin? Besides him, who else has the prestige and ability to regroup the Alliance fleet in just a few days? I guess the Sea King Power is here too?

He was determined to have a good fight with his rebellious son on the sea.

very good!

That's it. "

The pirate flexed his fingers, his eyes flashing with cold light.

He took out a few pieces of magician used to locate space and threw them to Old Garni and said:

"I thought I had no chance to complete this family ritual. Fate is really generous to me, so come on, let us defeat Dai Lin in the field he is best at.

I will use irrefutable victory to prove who is the boss in this sea!

Dear old Garni, come and deliver some letters to me. "
