Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Speaking of which, why did you happen to pass by the Fire Demon King's evil ritual?"

In the air from Ulduar to the mountains of Storm Peaks, Black sat in the cab of the Shadowsong and asked the little star sitting in the back seat, swaying left and right, curious about everything:

"Shouldn't you be taking care of the Spellweaver in Kaudala? Why do you come here?"

"Caifeng! Caifeng, do you understand?"

Little Xingxing consciously prevented an evil conspiracy from the Lord of Fire to invade the material world, so she was very excited and proud. She shook her head and said:

"I am preparing to write an adventure story that truly belongs to me, which is the love and hatred between me and the fallen Arygos. Didn't that happen in the Storm Peaks?

I just came here to take a look around and see the strange scenery here, and then added it to my autobiography as an environmental description.

As a result, as I turned around, I felt an abnormal gathering of fire elements. "

Little Xingxing snorted proudly, folded her arms and said:

"It's not easy to have such a huge gathering of fire elements in a place like Storm Cliffs that is full of winter atmosphere. I heard that the civilization of the fire giants that once lived here has long since died, so the scorching atmosphere must not have been born naturally.

So I ran over and took a look.

As a result, at first glance, it was discovered that the Black Iron Emperor was leading a group of shamans to kneel down and worship the flames, and also threw the holy objects just made by the dwarves into the flames.

I sensed something was wrong right then.

So my divine weapon appeared from the sky, using the flying thunder and the powerful and righteous power of the dragon to drive Ragnaros' power back to the dangerous realm of fire.

And that coward Thaurissan escaped while I was fighting Ragnaros' evil servants. They were riding in a dwarf drilling machine. I wasn't very familiar with those mechanical things, so I didn't catch them.

Oh, what a shame. "

"Look at you, your little tail is almost raised to the sky."

Blake, who was holding a pipe in his mouth, shook his head and whispered:

"This story has also been 'slightly processed' by your excellent grammar, right?

What I mean is that if the Firelord really projected his illusions into the material world, Ulduar's defenses would be activated immediately without you.

This was essentially a 'steal' operation.

If the Fire Demon King wasn't stupid, he wouldn't have started a big fight to expose his whereabouts. I guess you killed at most a few lava dogs or fire demons that came to rescue you."

"What happened to the lava dogs? Lava dogs are also dangerous, okay?"

Little Xingxing complained unconvincedly:

"Do you know what terrible things would happen if you let a dangerous lava dog roam around in the material world? The poor farmer can't kill that dangerous thing with a pitchfork.

The flames it releases can burn down a village and kill many, many people. "

"Uh, I have to remind you, little star."

Blake sighed and said:

"This is the Storm Cliffs. Based on the ecological environment here, even if a lava dog ran over, it would be treated as a delicious picnic by the dangerous creatures here.

They can't even defeat the mammoths who are at the bottom of the food chain here. "

"Huh, no matter! Anyway, I saved the world from Ragnaros' evil conspiracy!"

Little Xingxing crossed her arms, closed her eyes, twisted her neck to the right, pouted and shook her hair and said:

"I'm going to write that in my book."

"Okay, okay, whatever you want, that's your story, you can write it however you want."

Blake helplessly comforted Little Xingxing like a child, and then whispered to Maiev, who was sitting in the driver's seat and searching the ground:

"If our child becomes like this in the future, I will definitely beat her."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am a clergyman! I am also a chosen one."

Maiev suddenly blushed, widened her eyes and scolded:

"You are blaspheming!"

"What happened to the clergy?"

Blake rolled his eyes and said:

"You have kissed and hugged the pirates and held them high. I think this is definitely not allowed in the Moon God's teachings, right? You see, if you do one wrong thing or many wrong things, you will go to hell.

It's better to do ten thousand wrong things according to your mood and become a legend in hell directly after going down.

Moreover. "

The pirate lowered his voice, pointed to the sky and said:

"We are in a special situation. There is someone above us protecting us. What are we afraid of?"

"Shut up, you devil."

Maiev clenched her fists.

She wanted to refute but couldn't think of a reason, because everything seemed logical if she followed Blake's evil train of thought.

The overly explicit conversation between adults also made the innocent little star in the back seat widen her eyes. She pretended not to care, whistling and looking at the scenery, but at the same time she pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on Blake and Maiev's whispers. .

Then I exclaimed repeatedly in my heart.

Wow, the topic of having children comes up right now!

It’s so dirty and exciting, so is this the dirty world of adults?

"Hey, can you hear me? This is the Ulduar Wisdom Spark Laboratory. I am the mechanic Mimiron. I called the broken spaceship on the front line. I heard the answer!"

Just when Maiev and Black were about to have an in-depth verbal exchange of views on the issue of faith and blasphemy, a noisy voice sounded on the Shadowsong's communicator, coming from Mimiron's weird voice that always seemed to have a touch of comedy. .

"Hey, you bastard, I was discussing the education of my children with my wife, and you interrupted this important matter! Can you choose a better time next time?"

Blake grabbed the communicator and cursed, and then there was silence for a few seconds. Then came Mimiron's nervous inquiry in a lowered voice:

"Huh? Giving birth to a child in a spaceship? Is it so hot and exciting? Ah, I have long heard that you flesh-and-blood beings are extremely dissolute in this regard and have ruined the good traditions left by the Titan Guardians.

Now it seems that is indeed the case. "

"You're crazy! That's not what you said in the dirty jokes. This is considered sexual harassment! I'll sign you up with Our Lady of Purity quickly and see what's going on in your head."

Blake cursed and asked angrily:

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Oh, I was so immersed in this dirty conversation that I forgot about the real thing."

Mimiron apologized and said again:

"The monitor of the Forge of Will near an exhaust outlet in the mountains has just been destroyed. It should have been caused by the Dark Iron Dwarves' inferior drilling machine passing underground.

Thaurissan is in that direction, hurry up and catch him.

I would like to use this to evaluate the mental and physical effects of the Firelord's elemental curse on the earth spirit creations.

Oh, by the way, I just had a discussion with Ignis about the physical properties of the Archon's Hammer and the Scepter of Valanaar the Kings.

We pessimistically believe that if Ragnaros uses the precious Fire of Savras to destroy them, the two civilization artifacts belonging to the earth spirits and dwarves are likely to be completely damaged in a few days.

After all, it is the elemental fire that was born in the world, and its pure destructive power is no less than the flame of the Creation Furnace. So after you capture Thaurissan, you must immediately prepare to enter the realm of fire.

The dwarves were now clamoring to launch a punishment expedition, and the belligerent Odin was so angry that he even decided to personally lead the dwarves into the Fire Realm to punish Ragnaros for desecrating the land of creation.

Leyden is reassuring them. "

"Okay, I understand, let them wait."

Blake hung up the communication, heaved a sigh of relief, stood up in the passenger seat, changed into the Moon Night God of War armor in a second, turned to Maiev and said:

"You take the Shadowsong back to Ulduar and give it to Mimiron. The madman said that he wants to make some modifications to the ship to adapt to the parameters of interstellar travel.

Then wait for me there. "

The stinky pirate stretched out his hand, pinched Maiev's delicate chin domineeringly, and said in her ear:

"Tonight we will seriously discuss the future education of our children."

After saying that, Blake disappeared into the cockpit with a whoosh.

He stood tall in the air in the cold wind of the north. The Wind Rider Anima on his combat boots gave him the ability to ride the wind, allowing his already exaggerated speed to continue to increase in the air. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the stormy cliffs and wind and rain. Desire comes in the snow.

Maiev sighed helplessly and moved the joystick to prepare to return. Then she noticed the little star in the back seat with her head lowered and her face flushed.

At this moment, the priestess was shocked.

Damn Blake!

There were kids next to me, and they were actually saying those damn dirty things.

"Well, little Xingxing, ahem, we don't usually get along like this, so don't think too much."

Maiev awkwardly planned to comfort Little Xingxing, but the Blue Dragon Princess raised her hand to stop Maiev's pale explanation. She lowered her head, covering her eyes and said:

"Is this the dirty world of adults? Woohoo, you and I are indeed not the same kind of people. I'm sorry, I'm a sewer-level person and I'm still trying to blend into your crazy and nasty daily life.

No wonder the captain always avoided spending time alone with Sephire and me.

I thought he was ostracizing me, but now it seems that he was protecting me. No wonder readers said I should not write about love in my autobiography.

Ah, it turns out that’s what they meant. It’s because I’m too good at it.

Sorry, I apologize. "

——

"Whoosh"

Blake's figure emerged from the wind of shadows. He moved his neck and put the helmet full of dark punishment on his head. This time he raised the bully blade that was very suitable for torturing vegetables. He held it above the two pirate scimitars. In the BGM singing obscene and vulgar pirate songs, I walked into the hiding place of Thaurissan and his gang at this time.

It could be seen that they didn't seem to be trying to hide.

The escape after being hit and damaged by a small star before was out of shameful instinct. Now after calming down, these self-defeating black iron dwarves just threw their damaged drilling machine into the snow in the valley plain.

He hid in the cave nearby and shivered.

They were frightened.

A dozen Dark Iron Barbarians, including Thaurissan, gathered around the campfire in silence and threw many wine bottles on the ground beside them. As Black walked over, no one stood up to explain or explain. Resist.

They did terrible things.

When the Three Hammers dwarves were just preparing to hold a nominally unified celebration ceremony, they acted as a vicious backstabbing blade that pierced into the hearts of those compatriots who had given them trust.

Still the worst kind of behavior, even though it was not their intention.

"I said, this is actually not a bad thing, do you understand?"

Black walked into the cave with a knife, but did not immediately kill a few black iron dwarves who no longer resisted. He sat on the stone next to him and looked at the royal griffin approaching in the wind and snow in the distance, and the griffin behind him. The angry dwarf king with his warhammer.

He turned to Thaurissan, who was lost and his eyes were blank, and said:

"Actually, in my opinion, these expeditions and forging among you dwarves will not change the fact that you are currently hostile.

What you want to do is something more profound, to completely reverse the stubborn and awkward resentment of your race once and for all.

I mean, the things that can be called 'great' are passed down by word of mouth at best, but to reverse the ancient hatred, you have to pay for something far more tragic.

sacrifice"

As he spoke, the pirate bent down and looked at Thaurissan, whose eyes were out of focus. He frowned, and in the next moment he slapped the Black Iron Emperor on the face.

This void impact instantly awakened Thaurissan from despair, but the next moment, flames burned in the dark red eyes of the Black Iron Emperor.

Thaurissan covered his head and screamed a few times, then let out a low and weird laugh.

he.

No, it stared at Black. The evil soul that dominated Thaurissan's body shouted to Black provocatively:

"I should thank you for killing that coward Al'Akir! I should thank you for uniting the other elements, sending them to me, and then being mercilessly defeated by me!

Blake Shaw!

You spent so much energy and time to let the dwarves see the hope of unity, but it only took me a few minutes to destroy everything you did!

You, who are widely spread in the material world, are nothing more than this."

"Alas, I really don't know what N'zoth promised you to make you dare to speak such nonsense in front of the Thousand Tongue Demon. You must know that the Thousand Bearded Demon can't even protect itself.

You actually believed in its promise. "

Black was not provoked.

He stared into Thaurissan's eyes. Through the gaze of these eyes, he seemed to be able to see a burning world and the fire giant laughing wildly in the flames of the burning sky and earth.

The pirate's expression turned cold under his helmet, and then he waved his hand again, this time wearing the power of the ancient god, and slapped Thaurissan on the other cheek.

The Black Iron Emperor didn't feel any pain.

But the impact of the void followed the connection of will, hitting Ragnaros's burning will like an invisible slap. This behavior obviously provoked the Fire Demon King.

It roars.

"Why are you laughing? You, for a bastard with one foot half in the coffin, your mentality is really good."

Blake sneered and said:

"I will come to you soon, Ragnaros, and I will show you how the mighty empire you spent millions of years building was razed to the ground in a matter of hours.

I hope you can still laugh by then.

get out.

Let’s talk next time! "

As he spoke, the pirate pressed his hand hard on Thaurissan's forehead, and the Thousand Tongue Demon's void attacks continued to erupt, forcibly dispelling the power Ragnaros had left in Thaurissan's will.

But this is only dispelled by power, and the curse engraved on the soul and blood is still there.

The Dark Iron dwarves will never be free until they kill the Firelord, the source of the curse.

"I"

Thaurissan, who was completely awake, stood there blankly, he wanted to say something. But Black pointed outside the cave, at the angry short man who jumped down from the gryphon.

He said:

"You should tell him.

Go ahead and have a son-in-law conversation with His Majesty Magni. Correct your attitude. If you really want to marry his daughter, behave decently.

I don't want my drinking buddy to be a widow so young.

I know that you still have the stubbornness of black iron in your heart, but my dear friend"

Black patted Thaurissan on the shoulder and said softly:

"As a father, think more about your children."
