Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 1608 241. I appoint you as the Chief Time Exploration Officer of the Immortal Fleet - Additional update [625]

As his strength grew and the enemies he faced became more and more terrifying, Black rarely took the initiative to negotiate terms with others.

Because if you want to dominate things like negotiating terms, you need to have strength to support it, and the current strength of the stinky pirates is obviously not enough when facing those super bosses.

For example, he could not poach the Deceiver from the Burning Legion by providing him with the position of leader of the pirate faction, nor could he expect to use his increasing wealth to bribe Emperor Denathrius to serve him.

When you can't provide enough benefits, negotiating terms is just humiliating yourself.

Blake is obviously not a person who would cause trouble for himself, but today he rarely met a guy who was no better than him and was already trapped in a desperate situation. If he didn't satisfy his desire to negotiate terms, he would be sorry for his inconsistency. After the hard work.

When Blake proposed to negotiate terms, the Eternal Tyrant who was trapped in the Eye of Aman'Thul suddenly became excited. She was very tired due to excessive blood loss and injuries, but she still screamed and made a gesture to the smelly pirate. "Dah ah" action.

"No! I refuse!"

Dark Chromie screamed:

“Don’t think I haven’t done my homework!

Ever since you were reborn as a pirate, no one who negotiated terms with you has ended well! In my opinion, your so-called "negotiation of terms" is nothing more than a noose for a suspended sentence.

That would only make me suffer more and eventually die in despair!

I reject! "

She covered her ears and screamed with a pale face:

"I don't even want to listen to any of the poisonous words coming out of your poisonous snake mouth! Go away, stinky pirate! Don't pollute my dark heart!"

"Oh my, that's very smart."

Black was not angry because of Dark Chromie's rejection. On the contrary, he looked at the miserable eternal tyrant in front of him with interest. After a few seconds, he said:

"Then have you ever thought about a question, my dear Dark Chromie.

You are not the only smart person in this world. What you can see can also be seen by other smart assholes, and many of them also know that negotiating terms with me is a very bad choice.

But guess, why do they still sit at the negotiating table obediently even though they know it is very dangerous?

Or, let me put it more directly. "

The pirate bent down with his hands behind his back, staring at the desperate Chromie who was isolated from normal time, and said:

"Have I given you the right to refuse? You just refuse blindly. Do you have the strength? Just refuse this and that.

In addition, from my professional point of view, I have been cutting people for many years. If you sustain this injury for three hours at most, you will die miserably due to the loss of two-thirds of the blood in your body.

The wounds caused by the Revenge Execution cannot be healed in a short period of time, and this Void Origin Arrow, a friendly gift from Deathwing, is also taking advantage of your weakness to crazily corrode your body and spirit.

Are you starting to see visions and hear phantom sounds?

This is a good sign, my dear Chromie.

This means that you have been noticed by the will of the Fallen Void.

Perhaps the thoughts of truth in the lightless sea will soon find you, entangle you, trap all your reason and will, and sink into the dark sea of ​​truth.

If you persist to the end, you will receive the blessing of the void and become a terrifying void creature.

If you can't hold on, it doesn't matter, you will get some bonus tentacles, eyeballs and twisted flesh as a 'consolation prize'. "

At this point, Blake let out a light laugh.

He shook his head and stood up straight, took out the pipe and held it in his mouth, slowly lighting the tobacco. As the first wisp of smoke rose, he said to Dark Cromie, whose face became more and more desperate:

"I'm a patient person, and I have nothing to do right now, so I can stand here and enjoy your embarrassment when the void or death comes to your door in the next three hours.

I will appreciate your miserable plea for mercy.

I will treat your wails begging me to save you as a wonderful pleasure.

I will reject you when you are at your most desperate, and even reach out and give you a gentle push, taking pleasure in witnessing your sobbing as you fall into the abyss.

Well, if I say this, will it appear that I am a pervert? "

The stinky pirate looked back at Elisande's time illusion behind him. The serious and boring latter nodded, gave a thumbs up, and said expressionlessly and seriously:

"In my ten thousand years, I have never seen a perverted guy like you."

"Well, let me take that as a compliment."

The pirate curled his lips and looked back at the Eternal Tyrant. He even took out a delicate hourglass and suspended it in front of him. He tapped the crystal shell of the hourglass and said in a clear voice:

"Tick tock, time is passing. Don't you Eternal Dragons always like to use 'time' to threaten others? Then, let me tell you, your time is running out."

Dark Chromie is a big bad guy who has destroyed many timelines. She certainly knows that Black is deliberately using words to arouse the fear in her heart, so that she will be overwhelmed by fear and eventually become a plaything in the hands of the stinky pirates.

But she knew that didn't mean she could resist.

Because even for the eternal dragon who can travel freely through time, fear is something she cannot control by herself, especially when she sees the quicksand in the damn hourglass in front of Blake constantly falling.

That was a real torture for Chromie.

She is a time dragon.

Even though she has turned black, she is still very sensitive to time. The drops of the hourglass are like a clock with constantly rotating hands, and every time she walks, it will sound a heavy blow to her heart.

What's worse is that she doesn't know if psychological factors are at play. Chromie actually heard strange murmurings in her ears, and visions of the past flashed before her eyes.

She felt herself getting weaker.

Whether it was physical or psychological, she urgently needed an outlet to release all the fears in her heart.

"I will negotiate terms with you!"

Dark Chromie bit his lip and said:

"Say it, I'm listening."

"Um?"

Black blinked in surprise. He stared at Chromie in front of him as if he were an ignorant brat. His eyes made the eternal tyrant shiver all over.

After a few seconds, the pirate said:

"Is this your attitude when negotiating terms with a villain who holds your life? I think you should at least be more sincere in this situation, right?

Or should I leave your rudeness to my Drake and let him teach you the rules?

It doesn't matter, we still have a lot of time to waste.

At least I have plenty of time. "

"I was wrong!"

Now that he has decided to bow his head, the Eternal Tyrant doesn't care about things like the dignity of the strong.

Faced with Blake's deliberate trouble, Dark Chromie fell to her knees with a helpless thud. She begged helplessly with the expression of a pitiful dwarf when she was in trouble:

"Give me a chance! I can help you. I am an eternal dragon who is evil and has no bottom line. Your first mate Sephiel is a stupid er, I mean a simple bronze baby dragon.

She has just grown up and has poor control over time.

Whatever she can do for you, I can do it better and without any psychological burden.

If you give me a chance, my evil and powerful captain, I can go back in time right now and nip your enemies in the bud.

I can also help you fine-tune your past to make it more perfect without affecting your life.

Aren't you worried about your relationship with Fenner Golden Sword?

This is easy to do!

I can go back in time and modify Fenner’s origin so that she has nothing to do with you, so that you can..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing that the eternal tyrant was getting more and more outrageous, Blake waved his hand to ask her to stop. The pirate rubbed his chin and looked at the pale but flattering Dark Chromie with strange eyes. He said in surprise:

"Is this really possible? I heard Seifer and Toki say that any change in my life will lead to the collapse of this timeline."

"They know nothing!"

When Dark Chromie mentioned his areas of expertise, he immediately became energetic.

She held her bleeding belly and said proudly:

"The bronze dragons are a bunch of pathetic bastards who only follow boring dogma. They have the power to change time but stick to meaningless order and rules.

This self-restraint makes them completely unable to understand the beauty of time.

But we Eternal Dragons don’t care about this.

We travel freely through various timelines. We are not deliberately provoking war, my evil captain, we are just trying to add more possibilities to the unchanging destiny.

Although occasionally some uncontrollable things will happen and cause the entire timeline to collapse, it is not an important thing. Anyway, we don’t need so many meaningless and identical timelines.

In such continuous attempts, we have summarized a set of luckily effective rules for getting things done.

In a situation like yours, of course you cannot move at key points in life. It is like the load-bearing wall of a tall tower. If it is demolished, it will lead to terrible consequences.

But on some non-critical nodes, we can let us play as we wish.

Not to mention modifying the origin of idiot Fenner. If you want, I can even make Mrs. Golden Sword and her daughter fall in love with you. Maybe you hope to win the Windrunner Family Grand Slam? "

"Well, this is so evil, you dirty eternal dragon. I'm starting to think that negotiating terms with you is a bad choice."

Blake immediately covered his ears to prevent this bad Eternal Dragon from continuing to pollute his pure pirate heart with obscene thoughts. He immediately changed the fucking topic and asked:

"Then have you heard of the 'Circle of Destiny'?"

"ah?"

Black's question immediately stopped the Eternal Tyrant. Dark Chromie blinked his eyes curiously, coughed up blood, and said in a weak tone:

"Where did you hear this professional vocabulary in the field of time? I have only heard of this theory in legends. It is the ultimate concept of the 'Circle of Time' used by weak Toki to trap Eternal Toki.

But it is not something as low-level as a period of time that loops forever. It is an almost impossible link completed on the orbit of destiny with the help of the power of time.

It is said that once formed, the Circle of Destiny cannot be broken unless the flow of the timeline is cut off from the source.

Well, I get it! "

Dark Chromie suddenly clapped her hands. This action made her wound twitch and roll on the ground in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and said tremblingly:

"I know why you appeared ten thousand years ago, that is your circle of destiny!

Damn it!

You have set yourself a trap of eternal cycle, eternal loss, and no escape. Hahahaha, I am beginning to pity you, Black Shaw.

But you must love that woman very much.

Otherwise, a conscienceless bastard like you would not have allowed yourself to fall into that terrible whirlpool. You must have taken the initiative to travel through time for a terrible purpose. "

"Hey, don't you think it's a good thing for you to talk so much in this situation?"

Blake's expression hardened.

He stared at Dark Chromie and said:

"I'm starting to think you're getting more and more annoying, so I'd better let you die here. Don't worry, after you fall into the void or die, I will come back to collect your body.

I won't let you expose your body in the wilderness, that would be too 'wasteful'. "

"Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, boss, give me another chance."

Dark Chromie coughed twice in embarrassment. She lay on the ground and said to Blake:

"Give me a chance. I will do whatever you want me to do for you. I don't want to die. I didn't turn into an eternal dragon just to die in an abandoned timeline.

I still have so much unknown future that I haven’t explored, and so much tragic past that hasn’t changed. I’m tired of watching all the tragedies happen and feeling helpless.

Actually, I'm not a bad person either

The timelines I destroyed all had their own reasons for destruction. In a sense, I just helped those people 'rest in peace'.

You should understand that sometimes living long in an era destined to be tragic is actually not a good thing. "

"Of course you can quibble, or I can choose not to listen, and I have no interest in what you have done in the past."

Blake had lost interest in the conversation.

He no longer enjoyed teasing Dark Chromie. He yawned and said directly:

"I will let you leave this timeline, Eternal Tyrant, I said, I have no interest in your soul, but only your soul, and I will arrange a 'warden' for you.

Toki!

Come here, I know you are hiding and watching. "

Black called out, and Time Tinker Toki jumped out of nowhere with a whoosh. She was accompanied by Chromie and Sephiel, who had just been brought back from ten thousand years ago.

The three girls all took the time to take a shower and change clothes, and now they appeared fresh and refreshed.

They stared at Dark Chromie with complex sensory eyes, especially the normal version of Chromie, the light in her eyes was very indescribable.

"As the Watcher Prince, I appoint you as the Honorary Warden. From now on, Dark Chromie's soul will be detained by you, and you must take her away from this timeline until everything settles."

Black held the scepter of Sargeras and tapped the clock pauldrons on both sides of the excited Toki's shoulders, like a medal.

He said:

"I will leave my mark of the Old Gods on Dark Chromie's soul. Once she escapes custody, that mark will take effect immediately and sacrifice her to the will of the void.

If you don't want her to die without a burial, then fulfill your duties. "

"Uh-huh."

The crazy time tinker Toki waved her fist, she pushed up her golden monolithic goggles that made Kazilan's big eyes, and she screamed:

"I will definitely be responsible to the end! I will become the eternal jailer of the eternal tyrant. This is my honor as a time hunter! Lord Black."

"As for you, eternal tyrant."

Blake looked back at Dark Chromie, who looked desperate but somewhat thankful, and said:

"Before releasing you, I will appoint you as the 'exploration officer' of the undead pirates in the time network. You just said that you are eager to see more of the future.

What a coincidence, this is also the wish of a prophet like me.

Give up destruction and destruction, follow Toki around in the time network, and mark all the interesting timelines. After I finish this timeline, I don’t mind going to other parallel worlds. . "

The pirate grinned, turned his head and extended his little finger to Toki, who looked surprised, and said:

"Last time you said that your timeline also needs the help of a powerful prophet like me? Very good, we made an agreement in advance. When I get tired of this world, I will find you to pick me up.

But you have to know, Toki, asking me to help is very expensive, so I hope that you can prepare a reward that satisfies me in advance. "

"Okay, I'll go back and get ready!"

Toki cheered, stretched out his little thumb and ticked Black.

A few minutes later, when Black took Sephiel and Chromie away from the Fountain of Night, Sephiel seemed to have something to say, but the pirate put his hand on his lips.

He looked at Shadowsong's ancestral home on the edge of Suramar city and said softly:

"Don't tell me. Just give me something to look forward to."
