Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Black and his gang went to Macaire to hunt for treasures on the Zenidar spacecraft. The entire world of Argus was now shattered into slag. There were only three main continents left, and there were seas of evil magma that penetrated deep into the earth's core. With demon starships cruising everywhere, it is impossible to safely and quickly travel through the three demon lands by other means.

The Scepter of Sargeras was left in Ulduar and handed over to Mimiron for the cross-star sea violent teleportation during the official war, which limited the "commute methods" that pirates could choose in this demonic land.

Fortunately, he developed a new strategy in advance to deal with this new scenario. After the "reputation" of the Holy Light Legion was turned on, the pirates could use Zela's large spaceship to quickly travel across the Demonic Continent.

Of course, the Holy Light Legion was not specifically carrying Blake across two places this time. For the Holy Light Walkers, the status of an ancient god was not yet so noble.

They were going to carry out a "secret mission" to a secret location in the Twisting Void outside the orbit of the planet Argus.

This time it was just a ride on Black's group who didn't buy a ticket.

Looking at the way the Blades of Light on the entire Zenidar spacecraft are getting ready to go, you know that this "secret mission" is of great significance to them. Even Zera is preparing for battle and cannot spare time to discuss with Blake. The true meaning of "destiny" is that they are definitely prepared.

Although, this matter was actually secretly manipulated by Blake from beginning to end.

"Is the Temple of Light of the Void actually here? I thought it was far away from Argus, but I didn't expect that it hasn't left the satellite orbit of this demon world."

On the command platform of the Zenidar, Blake saw the relative changes between Argus and the surrounding planets from the magic technology similar to holographic projection, and found the light of the void in the strange star ring formed by the shattering of the world. The location of the temple.

He rubbed his chin and looked suspiciously at Archbishop Mograine, who was wiping his red eyes with a handkerchief and asked:

"You just said that you intercepted encrypted communications from the Dread Lord's servants and found this place where important prisoners are being held. Are you so sure that there must be something important here?

Maybe this is a trap for you.

Based on my understanding of the Dread Lord, those bastards can definitely do such a thing. "

"It may indeed be a trap, but what's inside is too important to the Legion of Light, and we are willing to take the risk."

Archbishop Mograine wanted to express his attitude with a serious voice, but a crying man really had no majesty at all.

His state made the pirates a little worried. Could it be that the strength of the psychic shock just now was not grasped well? Did it directly turn Mograine from a mighty man into a sentimental fool?

After all, he is also a powerful light-forged god, and he has experienced a thousand years of war, so his will is not weak to this point, right?

"What are you looking at, you evil ancient god?"

The archbishop sniffed, and he yelled at the pirate very unhappily. Then tears flowed down again, and he helplessly covered his eyes with a handkerchief.

He really wasn't sad at all.

This was just an instinctive reaction after the mind was attacked by the power of the void. Those thoughts of truth entangled his spirit, constantly stimulating the tear glands to secrete tears.

As for the sadness and despair projected in his vision, they could not impress Mograine's tenacity armed with the Holy Light, but the light-forged body could not resist the malice of an ancient god.

"Oh, I was in a bad mood just now, so I was too harsh."

Blake waved his hands and said hypocritically:

"Who told you to get close to me when I was a baby? To be honest, even if I am 99% at fault for this matter, don't you have the 1%? We are all adults, so be sensible.

What should be forgotten, let it pass.

We're going to Mac'Aree soon. You'd better wear a helmet or something. Don't let your subordinates see you like this. It's too embarrassing for a commander.

If the demons see a crying archbishop, the deterrence you have built up over the years will be over. "

Having said this, Blake tilted his head and thought for a while, then suggested to Mograine, who was covering his eyes:

"You'd better set off to find Zella to help you purify the remaining thoughts of truth in your body. Mac'Aree is not as simple as it seems to you. Going there with the thoughts of the ancient gods may lead to unexpected consequences for you. Trouble outside."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Mograine closed his red rabbit-like eyes and said in a surprised tone:

"You mean, there is still void power in Mac'Aree?"

"You don't know?"

The pirate pretended to be surprised and covered his face and said:

"You don't really think that the Burning Legion doesn't contaminate Mac'Aree because Kil'jaeden wants to preserve the 'good memories' of the past, right? Although there are indeed factors in this regard, believe me, one thing that can make all demons The place you are willing to set foot on is definitely more dangerous than you think.

After Argus was captured and tainted by the Burning Legion, the fel hearts within the stars naturally attracted the attention of the Sunless Sea.

You have to know that although the war between evil energy and void is not well known, the battlefields between them are indeed filled with various areas of the entire star sea.

Where demons gather, shadows of the void are often cast.

By the way, are you too good at intelligence work? Do you need the help of the Uncrowned? We can cooperate as long as the price is right. "

"That's a whole continent! We don't have enough manpower to go there for long-term reconnaissance before crossing the demonic blockade."

Beside Mograine, the Lightforged adjutant Captain Faria, who looked worried and indignant, retorted for his commander:

"Argus is the base camp of demons, and the Legion of Light cannot launch a full-scale attack here. In fact, if it weren't for your chaos that caused the Zenidar to be trapped in Argus, we would not have a head-on war with the demons.

Coupled with the fact that Mac'Aree is not a strategic location, our observations there were very limited. "

"Okay, Faria."

Mograine waved his hands with a headache and said:

"You go gather the guards, prepare to land, and control your mind, okay? I am the most vivid example in front of you. Don't argue with void power users, you will only get deeper into trouble."

"oh."

The Lightforged Commander, who had been filled with indignation just now, responded obediently. The hoof girl glared at Black fiercely, then helped Mograine change a handkerchief with concern, and then swayed away from the command podium.

The pirate said in a long voice beside him:

"Ha, the more she cares about you, the more she will fall into the evil trap of this void. My Lord Mograine, I suddenly found that it is much easier to corrupt these blades of light than I thought.

As long as I open a gap, I don't even need to worry about it, and they will jump out one after another, because you trust each other extremely and will not leave any compatriot behind.

This unity is a good thing most of the time, but in some cases it can be an opportunity to destroy you.

Well, I feel like I've discovered something amazing. "

"What does this mean to you?"

Mograine said helplessly:

"We are not your enemies. Instead of focusing on us, it is better to think about how to deal with the devil."

"Yeah, it doesn't mean anything, but it's interesting, and that's enough for me."

Black showed a perverse smile that made people want to punch him, but Mograine stopped talking to him. He decided to reduce the conversation with Black in the future.

It's best not to say a word at all.

This demon with a thousand tongues is very good at using words to penetrate and influence other people's thoughts and emotions, and cannot give him any chance to break through.

Soon, the Zenidar used its extremely superb driving skills to pass through the blockade of the demon starship and arrived over the Mac'are continent, facing Crokuun across a sea of ​​fel energy magma.

As soon as the starship entered here, Blake immediately felt the reactivation of the previously suppressed void power, and even the local natural will "said hello" to him very gently.

This proves that Mac'Aree's natural environment is still generally intact, which is really rare in a world that has truly ended.

However, when everyone looked down from the observation tower, they easily discovered the truth that the MacKaele continent was not contaminated by evil energy.

This continent is different from Krokuun. It is "suspended" on the broken crust of Argus. Its continental shelf has no connection with the doomsday world. It is like a super huge floating island.

It's just that the gravity of the broken star is still in effect, preventing Macaire from breaking away from the star and floating into the star sea.

In the absence of any connection between the two parties, even if the heart of the world has been corrupted by evil energy, this land can still maintain its "purity" on the surface.

From a high altitude, Blake could even see the lush and strange trees below, like a maple forest, as well as a large mirror-like lake in the center of the floating island continent.

"Pure natural water source, my God! Is this something that should exist in a collapsed star? This simply overturns all my previous common sense in geography.

This is simply impossible to happen! "

The old dwarf standing next to Blake held the telescope and exclaimed. As a professional explorer, Brian felt that everything he saw was so unreal.

It's like accidentally discovering a "paradise" in an evil apocalyptic world.

"There's something in that lake!"

As the Zenidar spacecraft quickly lowered its altitude, the sharp-eyed little star quickly grabbed the pirate's hand and pointed there and shouted:

"A dragon! Look, it found us and is diving to the bottom of the lake."

"No, idiot, that's a water snake."

Black held his pipe in his mouth and corrected:

"Don't look at me like that. Of course I know that ordinary water snakes cannot grow to a length of several hundred meters, but considering that the water source is close to the void spreading area, it is understandable that the water snakes transformed by the infection will grow into anything.

At least it didn't grow three heads. "

"Is that Cirithorne?"

A light-forged archmage named Hoomei who was on the observation deck was surprised and cast an eagle eye spell on herself.

This white-haired lady with beautiful bangs carefully observed the frightened big water snake under the lake. After a few seconds, she said with some uncertainty:

"It seems to be a 'lucky snake' that was released into the lake by the former principal before the Arcana Academy was destroyed. When the Arcana Academy was still there, many students would go looking for it and ask for blessings whenever exams were approaching.

When I was studying in the Academy, I fed it many times.

I didn’t expect that it could survive the collapse of Argus and still survive to this day. It is truly a ‘lucky snake’. "

"Um?"

The Holy Light Archmage's speech made Little Xingxing blink. The idiot Blue Dragon turned to look at her and said:

"I heard that the Arcane Academy was the highest academy before the destruction of the world of Argus. Those who can study there are the smartest people among the Eredar. Are you one of those supreme wise men?"

"Well"

Little Xingxing's question made the Holy Light Archmage a little embarrassed. Under the pirate's gaze with a strange smile, the Lightcast lady hesitated and said with a straight face:

"Yes, I am one of the graduates of the Arcane Academy.

Of course, I encountered a demonic invasion before I graduated. Some of our last batch of students who survived the disaster followed Velen and left Argus, but there were also people like me who were unwilling to abandon their hometown and chose to This broken world continues to fight.

I was lucky enough to join the Legion of Light.

To be honest, I never thought that I would be able to return to the Arcane Academy alive one day. This place left a very 'deep' memory on me. "

"Wow!"

Little Xingxing exclaimed, and immediately took out a pen and paper to prepare for a "live interview". She excitedly said to the final graduate of the Academy who claimed to be a secret academy:

"You have been through so much, so you must be very powerful, right? I guess you must be the best graduate in the history of the great arcane academy, right?

The college I belong to happens to be very interested in the former supreme institution of learning in Argus. Can I ask you a question?

There are also a few academic questions, about the strange gem magic used by the draenei people. Alas, don't leave, it won't take up too much of your time.

I'll pay, okay? "

"That. I don't have time. I have to serve the Holy Light."

The Holy Light Archmage, who was entangled by Little Star, said with an embarrassed look:

“As for the past of the Arcane Academy, I don’t really want to talk about it.

You have to understand, that was already 25,000 years ago, and it was a story of destruction, not a good memory for anyone. "

"Ha ha ha ha"

After hearing this, Blake finally couldn't hold it any longer.

He held his stomach and laughed loudly, almost lying on the ground and rolling around, making a group of people around him look at him in surprise, wondering, has this stinky pirate finally gone crazy because he has done too many bad things?

Hey, congratulations, but this psycho pirate hopes you won't go crazy in public, okay?

Pay attention to the impact!

Blake didn't explain anything. He patted his chest in front of everyone. As the demon hunting tattoo on his body shone, two of his inner demons were released.

The cold-faced Queen Saloras and the curled-up Olaise with her hands on her hips were released.

They maintained the evil aura that high-level demons should have, and wore two pirate knives of the same style at their waists. They wore obscene pirate clothes and spread their wings to protect the pirates.

Even the proud demon twins in the Holy Land of Holy Light are not timid at all.

But the one who had the biggest reaction among the crowd was the last graduate of the Mysterious Academy just now. When the Holy Light Archmage saw the Eredar Twins, his eyes widened, he covered his face and was about to run away.

As a result, her reaction was too intense, and she was immediately noticed by the Eredar twins.

The twins looked at each other, and then showed evil and wanton smiles. Oreses snorted and said in a long voice:

"Hey, isn't this the 'crane-tailed senior' Imira? I really didn't expect to see you, the 'shame of the secret academy,' again in this long time.

By the way, fifty years after we two sisters graduated with the most outstanding achievements in the history of the Secret Academy, I heard that you, senior sister, are still repeating the grade to make up the exam? "

"Yes, after the legion occupied Argus, the two sisters made a special trip to the Secret Academy to look for you, my dear senior sister."

Queen Saloras also said sarcastically:

"We have always thought that your poor talent in gem magic may be because you chose the wrong path. If you had devoted yourself to fel magic, you would have definitely become an eredar demon lord with your 'diligence'.

But unfortunately, we didn't find you in the ruins. We thought you were dead.

Today we meet old friends, senior, why are you covering your face?

At least say a few words.

If you don't follow us two sisters like before, we will definitely protect you from being laughed at by those bad students who ridicule you. Come on, senior, give us a pat on the back like before. "

"I am now the Archmage of the Holy Light Legion!"

Ms. Imira, the Lightcast Archmage, grabbed her staff. It was obvious that she was scared, but she still shouted:

"I'm not afraid that you two will fall into evil bastards! I'm not who I used to be, and I won't let you bully me anymore. Come on, evil, let's fight the Holy Light!"
