Shadow Trails in Azeroth

“Look at that pirate god who was beaten up with a bruised nose and face. Hey, what a shameful bastard. I don’t know where he got the courage to go up on stage to accept the knighthood award with his beaten face!

There are some people who are determined to be shameless.

What a disgrace to the pirates and demigods. "

During the ceremonial celebration of the Wind God Throne, it was the turn of Gaboa, the "Servant of the Dragon", to step onto the cloud platform made of elements and receive the wind element badge symbolizing the identity of the "Storm Duke" from the Wind Chaser Sunderland. A sharp voice suddenly sounded from the wind element and water element who were watching the excitement.

Probably in order for the elements to get the ridicule and malice in these words, the stinky pirate also repeated these words in the elemental language, which perfectly simulated his previous weird accent and attracted a group of wind elementals with low IQs. There was a thunderous laugh.

But on the stage, Gaboa, whose face was bruised after being beaten by Storm's big fist, and whose nostrils were swollen, even stuffed a wad of paper into his nostrils to stop the bleeding, just viciously made a threatening slit-throat salute to Blake.

Then he continued to laugh and proudly enjoy the highlight of his long life, despite his bruised and swollen face.

So what if I get beaten?

How many people in this world can survive the heavy blow of the "Devil with a Thousand Tongues"?

Judging from the pirates' worldview that basically has no bottom line, this is not a humiliation at all, but an honor that proves one's strength, okay?

Isn’t there a saying that goes well?

If you don't regard other people's humiliation as humiliation, then this so-called humiliation is meaningless. This is the same as when the abyss looks directly at you and you take off your pants to the abyss, then it is not you but the abyss who is defiled. .

Of course, in a magical world where the Void Abyss really exists, the kind-hearted pirate Black Shaw really doesn't recommend that XP-specific lunatics do this.

Because the consequences of offending the will of the void are really serious.

This is not a small problem of a few missing parts, but it is very likely that there will be a few extra "parts" that you don't want in unexpected places.

"Hey, even stupid pirates like Gaboa can get a place in the new sky wall. This is the value of this so-called 'new era'.

Not interesting. "

The pirate looked at Gaboa holding the Elemental Duke Medal triumphantly. He curled his lips in disdain, turned around and yawned to leave this boring ceremony.

The elements have little experience in holding ceremonies, so the celebration to celebrate the Wind Chaser's ascension to the throne of the Wind God was very "simple" and there was not even a delicious meal prepared for the guests.

Not to mention the wine that the pirates were so eager to drink.

This made Blake feel greatly disappointed.

Of course, although the ceremony was simple, it was very valuable. Not only did the Tide Hunters attend the ceremony in a dignified manner, but after Sunderland sent the djinn to represent themselves in Deep Rock Continent, the Stone Mother and her two daughters also happily came. Came to attend the ceremony.

This is the rare time in the millions of years since the War of Lords that the three elemental lords are in the same frame. At least for the elemental creatures and the shamans who believe in the power of the elements, it is a truly major event.

Well, when it comes to this, I have to diss the only guy who was not invited.

Hey, annoying Ragnaros, we're having a cool party at the Throne of the Winds, Tidehunter and Stonemother are invited, but guess which poor bastard didn't get the invitation?

If you think about it this way, Lord Ragnaros, who is ostracized by everyone, is really miserable.

No wonder it has such a violent temper and thinks about how to destroy this sad, indifferent world that hurts it every day.

People who lack love are really terrible.

Blake was holding his pipe in his mouth and thinking about all these things. He had already done all the things he should do in the Wind God Throne, and a busy big man like him was not in the mood to participate in the subsequent political adjustments and adjustments in the Wind God Throne. Going to rebuild.

He planned to leave here, go to the Forge of Origin, and then return to Ulduar with Leiden and the Virgin of Purity.

There is another big event over there that requires his participation.

However, when Blake took out the Scepter of Sargeras and was about to leave, the djinn Al Abbas, who had been appointed as the Grand Vizier of the Skywall, found him.

"Hey, this is a promotion. Look at you, my old friend. Even your funny Asan turban has been replaced. This prime minister's robe really suits you."

When Blake saw the "new appearance" of the djinn, he whistled improperly.

The djinn that appeared in front of him was indeed different from before.

Not only was Sunderland given the purer and more powerful power of wind with the power of wind from the Sky Wall, but he also completely changed his previous casual Asan businessman-style dress.

Now it is wearing a white solemn prime minister's robe, and the turban that originally hugged its head has been replaced by a more formal crown of the four winds. When it moves, completely different winds surround it, telling it every wind of the entire world. Hear what you see.

The wind elements are the ones who are best at inquiring about information among the four elements. As long as there is a place where the wind blows, the secrets and everything happening there cannot be hidden from the eyes of the sky wall.

It's a pity that the Sky Wall previously focused too much on being united and overcoming differences when the Lords of the Four Winds were fighting each other, causing them to seriously lack attention to the outside world.

But such times are gone.

As Al Abbas, who has the clergy of "God of Trade" in the mortal world, is very familiar with the set of rules of the mortal world, and is committed to spreading the prestige and power of the wind element throughout the world.

With such an enlightened guy as the Grand Chancellor, coupled with the strong support of the enterprising Windseeker Sunderland, perhaps in the future in the mortal world of Azeroth, the Sky Wall will become the force most closely connected with world civilization. Maybe.

"Your Excellency Black, the distinguished guest of Sky Wall, before you leave, I want to talk to you about something very important on behalf of my lord."

As the Grand Chancellor, the Djinn became much more serious, but the intimacy and relaxation it felt when talking to Black could not be concealed. After all, these two guys had been "in league with each other" a long time ago.

The elemental emblems of the God of Trading are circulating everywhere in the eastern continent, and the stinking pirates also have a share of the credit for this.

Speaking of which, Al Abbas's magic lamp itself is still stored in the Sacred Relics Exhibition Hall of Nasarath College.

Blake also heard some gossip from his daughter and sister, such as the tragic incident where some stupid students secretly tried to trade with the magic lamp to help them pass the exam, but were caught on the spot by Dean Lanyue.

The prime minister didn't ask for such important things. It seemed that he was determined to use such things to bring the relationship between the Sky Wall and the Nathalas School closer.

"Speak, my friends, what do you need the faithful Black to do for you?"

The pirate blew out a smoke ring, waved his hands and said:

"The relationship between us can already be called our own, so there is no need to hide your needs from me. I will try my best to do it."

"It's about the spread of the majesty of the storm."

The Grand Chancellor was really busy, so he was not polite when facing the pirates. He talked about business and said:

"The chaos of the Sky Wall may take some time to recover. With the scattered nature of the elements, it will take hundreds or even thousands of years to rely on ourselves to restore the prosperity of the Sky Wall. However, this is obviously not what His Majesty Wind Chaser and I hope. have witnessed.

After much discussion, we decided to take a different approach.

We plan to learn from the evil methods of Hell Queen Hela and share the power of the storm with all mortals who desire this power, thus establishing an elemental contract.

After those mortals encounter misfortune or die, their souls are connected to the sky wall to perform the elemental ascension ceremony.

With this, we can greatly increase the number of elite wind elements in a short period of time.

Moreover, the elements ascended by mortals often have extremely high wisdom. The moment they enter the sky wall is the moment they enter the court of His Majesty the Wind Chaser. "

Al Abbas paused and said to Black:

"I know that this method seems a bit evil, but based on my understanding of the mortal world, there are many people who are thirsty for power who are willing to accept this harsh condition.

This can be regarded as a kind of getting what you need.

But you also know that elementals are generally stupid, and eloquent elements like me are completely rare in the Sky Wall. We intend to let Duke Gaboa take the lead in this matter, but Duke Gaboa's influence in the world is still limited. There are some shortcomings.

He could practice with his fellow trolls first.

Before he becomes familiar with this process, my master and I hope that you can advance this matter and at least help us build a stable and sustainable framework. "

"Ah, I understand, it's sustainable to catch all the fish from the lake."

Black laughed, not feeling troublesome at all because of the evil logic inherent in this matter. On the contrary, he accepted the request without any psychological barriers.

He rubbed his chin and said to the Djinn with great interest:

“There is an elemental school in Narthalas Academy, including orcs from Draenor, tauren and centaurs from Kalimdor, as well as apprentices from some smaller races.

They are all outstanding young people with shamanic heritage. I will help you find a mentor position in the elemental school. Sky Wall will just send an elder of the wind element to teach for a long time.

For professional shamans, they are well aware of the risks and temptations involved.

I believe you can harvest a group of elite reserves there.

However, it is a little troublesome to promote and penetrate the secular world. After all, shamanism has disappeared in the human world for a long time. Currently, only some spiritual organizations remain in the Drustvar Mountains of Kul Tiras, but they are also very declining.

The promotion of the wind element doctrine will inevitably be obstructed and hostile by the Holy Light Faith. Although those guys are very righteous, they take matters of faith very seriously.

Even when my friend Lao Gani organizes scavengers in some nooks and crannies, they will notice it.

Therefore, I do not recommend that you adopt a missionary approach to promote your own majesty. "

At this point, the pirate blinked and said:

“Don’t lead people to look for you, but look for those who already have needs. In this way, they will take the initiative to offer contracts to the Sky Wall.

Even if you are caught by the Holy Light Church, you can get rid of all troubles.

No initiative, no refusal, no responsibility.

If you grasp these three points, there will be no problem. I will let my uncrowned ones help you collect such guys. Anyway, there are a lot of such low-life people in the human world.

And there are pirates on the sea.

They are not bound by secular beliefs. They are the most realistic and superstitious group of people. They are eager to be protected by the storm so that they can make a fortune. All they need is a little sweetness from you to make them line up to sign the soul contract.

But the problem with pirates is that you may have to be prepared to share their souls with the Maw of the Abyss.

Although His Majesty Neptulon has no such plan yet, according to my understanding of it, once the Sky Wall's plan to ascend has a miraculous effect, it will definitely follow up quickly.

By then, a 'war of faith' in the elemental world may be brewing. "

Blake glanced at the brooding Grand Chancellor and said softly:

"With the good cooperative relationship between us, I hope you can prepare in advance. The elements cannot be peaceful for a long time. Chaos and disputes are your nature.

Maybe in decades, maybe hundreds of thousands of years, sooner or later you will go to war again, so you must seize this hard-won period of peace.

I won’t hide it from you either.

If His Majesty Neptulon asks for my help, I will not refuse him, and I will say the same thing to him, if I am still alive when you go to war and you still need my help, then"

The stinky pirate grinned, showed a malicious smile, and made another action that is common in the universe. He said:

"At that time, both of you will be ready to be slaughtered by me, so prepare treasures in advance. I may no longer need wealth.

But that's proof of your sincerity. "

After saying that, Black gave a very elegant farewell ceremony to the Grand Vizier, then waved the scepter of Sargeras and disappeared into the sky wall where the dynasty was changing.

Almost three hours later, he, Leiden and the Virgin of Purity, who had dealt with the furnace of origin, returned to Ulduar.

This dilapidated city needs the guardians to work together to restore it to an operational level faster, but before that, Raiden is responsible for presiding over the ceremony for the dwarf Three Hammers clan to return to the order of Titan Guardians.

Because the master of the furnace, Ignis, had just reshaped the scepter warhammer Varanaar and the Keeper of Kings commanded by the earth spirits in the Creation Furnace, this ceremony was also related to the selection of the king of the earth spirits.

This is what really matters.

"Both the Wildhammer and Bronzebeard clans are easy to talk about. The only one that is more troublesome is the Dark Iron."

When arriving at the Iron City of Ulduar, Great Guardian Raiden was frowning and said to Black:

"If they want to return to the order of guardians, they must first remove the curse of slavery left by the Lord of Fire in their blood and souls, but this job is not easy.

That means we have to go deep into the Firelands and deal with Ragnaros just like you dealt with Al'Akir.

The cruel and disorderly Fire Demon King is also one of the unstable factors in this world. If it were normal, Odin's Legion of Heroes might be able to shoulder this important task.

But now, they have to protect Ulduar and prepare for the Argus expedition, and they can't spare any time. "

After saying that, the eyes of Leiden and the Virgin Mary fell on the yawning stinky pirate at the same time. Blake immediately felt the gazes of the two people. He turned back suspiciously and said to the two guardians:

"Why are you looking at me like this? Do you want me to shoulder the heavy responsibility that you should shoulder? No way? You don't think that I killed the Wind Rider lightly, and you think that I can handle Yan with the same ease. The Demon King?

Hey, the combat capabilities and threats of these two guys are completely different, right?

The weak and abject Sky Wall and the powerful and brutal Fire Realm are completely different concepts! "

Blake blew out a smoke ring and looked at the dwarves in the square in front who were cheering and preparing for the ceremony. He curled his lips and said to Leiden:

"I mean, I can do it. But, you have to pay more. Uh, no, this is not a problem that can be solved by adding more money. It's easy to say at the moment.

I mean, I need help!

I can understand why I can't recruit the Heroic Spirit Legion, but can the guardians at least give me one or two?

This opportunity to prostitute a gold-medal thug for free and fake the power of a tiger is very rare and precious. Don't think that I will miss it.

And you have to sign a peace contract with the three-element monarch on behalf of the guardians to officially end the hostility between the two parties, so that I can convince them to send troops to do great things together. "

After saying that, Black rubbed his stubble-covered chin, rolled his eyes and said:

"Besides, before I do this, I may need to deal with some 'personal grudges', which may waste a few days. If you are not in a hurry, then I will take care of this."
