Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Following an order from Thaqir, who tried his best to remain calm but still acted crazy, the secret power that the old guy had hidden in the arcane academy was immediately activated by the gatekeeper Qualam.

Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

After all, this ruin has been abandoned for more than 20,000 years, and has experienced demolition-style excavations by demons. Coupled with the change of magic caused by the fragmentation of the world, all the originally exquisite magic pathways of the Arcana Academy have been destroyed. Into a mess.

If Thakir wanted to activate his arrangement back then, he had to reluctantly rebuild these magic pathways first. With the Mystery Academy occupying a huge area of ​​several mountains, it was quite difficult to complete this task.

Fortunately, Thakir did not come alone.

Around him are a trio of warlocks with bad conduct but good spellcasting abilities, a cowardly archmage like Little Xingxing, bad students like the Eredar Twins, and the archmage Yimi who has been tempered by more than 20,000 years of war. Pull such a good student.

The most important thing is that he has an omnipotent pirate and a group of academy guard robots who cannot do fine work, but are absolutely obedient and powerful.

There are also outstanding "excavation experts" such as Old Brian and Zhou Zhuo to help out.

They quickly got busy, with one person responsible for the magic passages in a large area, and under Sakir's brief explanation, they began to restore the damaged passages.

The good news is that the Secret Academy, as the former supreme academy of Argus, has a very complete and sophisticated magic defense system. Even if the buildings on the ground were wiped out by Archimonde and experienced a real earthquake, the various underground buildings were still intact. The magic node system remains stable.

The bad news is that after spending a whole day successfully repairing the magic node, Thakir encountered a very embarrassing and unexpected problem.

Argus's world magic network collapsed long ago.

After the heart of the world is occupied by evil energy, pure arcane magic can no longer breed in this world, and the magic system of the Arcane Academy is advanced around arcana.

In other words, the old man still has to find a powerful enough magic source to solve the final energy problem.

Luckily, he and Black quickly found a replacement.

"Ah! I knew it! You must have had bad intentions when you brought me to this hellish place. I thought you just asked me to help you fight and dig in the soil. I didn't expect you to want me to be a battery now!

You are so bad!

I will file a complaint against you to Lady Catherine! "

Amid the screams of the little stars, Princess Blue Dragon's Thunder God Throne was temporarily placed on a cleared magic node in the ruins of the Arcane Academy.

This is due to the fact that the weapon platform created by Titan technology can achieve energy conversion, and Little Star himself was asked to temporarily act as a magic source.

After all, her natural huge mana pool as a blue dragon and the thunderous heart beating in her chest combined were enough for her to help Old Man Sachiel complete the restart of the Mystic Academy.

But just because Little Xingxing can do it doesn’t mean she is willing to do it.

This little bastard who is always looking for ways to catch fish is definitely not willing to dedicate her precious magic power. She will yell at Blake and make a gesture of "If you dare to force me, I will run away."

"Hey, old man, this is to help you, so the job of persuading her is up to you."

Blake was too lazy to argue with Little Star, so he turned around and said something to Sakir with his pipe in his mouth.

The crazy great initiate laughed twice, stepped forward and whispered a few words to Little Xingxing, then took out a secret scroll from his bag and stuffed it into Little Xingsing's hand.

The blue dragon was very hesitant. She glanced at the scroll recording the mysterious magic in her hand, and then she was heartbroken and waved her hand towards Sakir.

It means one portion is not enough.

This kind of greed made the old man very angry. He glared at the innocent pirate with his burning skull. He felt that Little Star's greed must have been learned from Black.

The innocent pirate looked confused at this.

A few minutes later, Little Xingxing, who had almost emptied out all of Tha'kiel's treasures, looked at the Ulthalus Headwind Reaper Scythe in Tha'kiel's hand with unsatisfied eyes.

She was still somewhat sensible and did not ask for this thing from the great initiate who was about to go berserk.

After her shameful greed was satisfied, Little Xingxing snorted, roared up to the sky, transformed into the form of a thunder dragon, and lay on the Thunder God's Throne. Amidst the thunder and lightning, she buried her head under her huge wings like a cat. , and said to Sakir with a howl:

"Hey, please slap it gently. If it hurts me, I will have to settle the account with you."

Sachiel was too lazy to pay attention to this request.

He waved his hand, and his three students stepped forward and stood at the three directions of the magic node, and began to cast spells at the same time according to Sakir's instructions.

As the dazzling arcane magic power was extracted from the little star, the dancing violet magic sparks quickly jumped in place.

They pass through the magic crystal bases erected by Thaqir at various locations in the Arcane Academy, and like the beating of electric current, they quickly pour pure magic into the ground, activating a mysterious spell system.

This scene fell in the pirate's eyes and he was amazed.

Although it has long been known that draenei spellcasters possess strange gem magic, the magic inheritance is very weak due to the draenei exiles' conversion to the Holy Light, making it rare for pirates to see such an orthodox release process of super large gem magic.

Its principle is nothing more than an extension of the arcane theory, but its mode of action and magic transmission are completely different from the arcane magic of Azeroth.

This made the pirates very concerned.

He rubbed his hands and looked at the process of magic brewing in front of him, thinking that this unique magic system would definitely enable him to write at least ten high-quality papers.

However, as the magic advanced to the next stage, the pirate immediately let out a cry of surprise.

He turned back to look at Thaqir, whose eyes on the burning skull shone with satisfaction and pleasure, and asked:

"What's going on with your magic? What you got from the Burning Legion was pure evil knowledge, right? How could it turn to the level of soul magic?

You set up a ‘Thousand Soul Banquet’ in your academy? "

"Well, is this how you describe soul magic in Azeroth? The name is quite majestic, but I didn't learn this knowledge from the Burning Legion, Black."

Thaqir let out a sneer.

He felt the cold wind around him and said proudly:

"Argus's magic system already has research on the soul. Don't forget that we have evil knowledge like phrenology. How do you think that cruel knowledge was summarized?

The development of magic in every civilization will not always be bright, there will always be some dark parts. Of course, after I founded the Arcana Academy, those forbidden magics were sealed, and only a few instructors could access them.

I am not using this soul magic to do evil things, Black. I was once a very qualified college principal and an educator like your mentor, Dean Lanyue.

I will not reach out to my students and colleagues.

I'm just trying to protect myself. "

Thakir explained:

"As I said just now, I lost myself after coming into contact with the knowledge of evil energy. I studied crazily the powers that fascinated me. I once wanted to share these powers with my compatriots and use them to fill the gap between Drai and Drai. The shortcomings of the Nigerian magic system.

But after I reported my knowledge to Velen and Kil'jaeden, I received no attention from them. Velen scolded me that I was studying evil, and Kil'jaeden was Velen's pathetic yes-man at the time.

My efforts failed.

I knew at that time that I would get myself into trouble if I continued to study evil powers, but I could not give up my pursuit of forbidden knowledge. Every aspiring researcher could not return empty-handed after opening the treasure house.

In order to prevent me from being treated as evil by the Vindicators, I must have some leverage to negotiate with Velen and Kil'jaeden when necessary.

So I quietly ordered my loyal academy caretaker Qualam to help me modify the magic node of the academy to make it an area where souls can be stored.

You have to understand, Blake, I really didn't mean to hurt them."

"I can totally understand, you don't have to explain, you bastard who used your own academy as an escape bargain."

Black whistled and said:

"Like a dastardly blackmail, bet Velen on a reasonable choice between a madman studying forbidden knowledge and the safety of the entire Arcanum Academy's students.

A key in a desperate situation and an escape route in a disaster are really smart strategies.

It's a pity that you didn't expect that before Velen and Kil'jaeden decided to eliminate this restless factor like you, your most trusted student stabbed you first and stepped on your head to gain a high position. "

"Yeah, betrayal from within, that's the only thing I didn't expect."

Thakir spurted flames from the nostrils of his skull. He looked at the magic that was completely activated in front of him and the magic spirits that were summoned from under the ruins in the cold wind.

They were like ghosts that are now very common in Azeroth. They were summoned by magic to rise from the ground and formed an array on the ground in front of Thal'kiel.

With the continuous infusion of magic power, more and more spirits are being called.

Under the stunned gazes of Imira and Ereda, even Ms. Verara, the Archdeacon of the Academy who was known for her strictness, was awakened.

Thaqir looked at them and said in a pleasant tone:

"Who could have imagined that fate is so wonderful that the evil power I set up to protect myself would come to fruition today, saving the souls of my dear colleagues and my students in this era of disaster. years, and let them return to the trajectory of this world today.

You have an army of undead in Azeroth, Black, and you arranged it yourself.

We Argus also have the same power of death, and it stems from my unintentional mistake. Maybe the process is not beautiful and mixed with dark and evil calculations, but the result is good and everything is fine. "

After saying that, Thaqir stepped forward and moved the magic sickle in his hand on the ground. He assumed a majestic posture like a principal and shouted to the spirits in front of him:

"Now, open your eyes and start class!"

"boom"

The flowing magic makes waves, like a heavy hammer on the soul level, awakening the shaped spirits one by one.

Their minds obviously still lingered on when the Secret Academy was destroyed by Archimonde. After being awakened, the senior students instinctively called for magic power to fight back, while the junior novices screamed and raised their hands. Hold your head and hide on the ground.

In the chaos, Ms. Villala, the Grand Consul of the Academy, was the first to wake up. She still had the remains of a weathered staff in her hand and scolded in a stern voice:

"Everyone stop! Look at your appearance! It's so disgraceful! If you scream and disrupt order again, 10 credits will be deducted from the final exam!"

This shout is so useful.

The chaotic spirits calmed down almost instantly. Ms. Villala first glanced at her illusory spirit. She sighed, knowing that she was dead, and then raised her head to look at the burning enlightener in front of her.

Her eyes first shrank and she made a defensive gesture.

"Okay, Verala, I know that you played a role in Archimonde's betrayal of me, and this gave you, who is not very talented, the opportunity to become the Archon of the Academy.

But those things are in the past. "

Old man Sachir waved his hand indifferently, and said with a hint of sarcasm:

"Look at your pathetic appearance now. It's obvious that Archimonde doesn't regard you as a confidant. Your betrayal only brought you a shameful death. Only the shameful Grand Prime Minister Galasum seems to be messing around with the Burning Legion. Not bad.

It is said that he also changed his name to Jaraxxus and called himself the King of the Eredar. What a pitiful fool. Fortunately, I had already taken a small revenge before. I think that shameful guy will reflect on its shameful sin when it melts in C'Thun's stomach.

Tell me, then, where is Argon, my devoted disciple who has taken over my position as initiate? "

"Mentor! I'm here!"

A tall eredar spellcaster spirit holding a ghost blade walked out of the crowd. He bowed to Thaqir with great respect, so humble that he almost knelt down and kissed the old man's toes.

He shouted:

"I knew you wouldn't give in so easily. My persistence paid off in the end, and the Secret Academy was once again in your hands.

Please lead us, mentor!

Revenge against the shameful Archimonde and his Burning Legion! "

"That's what I'm here for, my students."

Sakir was holding the Scythe of the Counterwind Reaper with gusty winds, and he shouted to the spirits in front of him with high spirits:

"Thanks to my advance preparation, you escaped the sad ending of having your souls devoured by demons, but there is no need to thank me, students.

This is what I should do as the principal of the Arcane Academy.

As you can see, I have also suffered shameful and painful treatment during this long period of time, but this may be the motivation for us to understand our shame and then be brave.

Those betrayals, those deaths, those times filled with dark memories.

After the world collapsed, you saw the light again.

This means that you have to shoulder a heavier mission, not only to fight against the Destroyer, but also to rebuild the great heritage of the Arcane Academy and the Eredar Magical Civilization.

This road is difficult to follow.

So I will not force you to follow me. Those who want to avoid this responsibility come forward now and I will generously grant you eternal freedom. "

The old man's burning eyes glanced in front of him. The trio of warlocks behind him, who were making weird laughs, had already taken out the blank soul stone. Looking at the way they were gearing up, you knew that these three guys were ready to take care of them. Sad bastard's preparation.

This is the main job they hold in the Narthalath School of Magicians.

They are clean.

Facts have proved that the Secret Academy is indeed the highest academy in Argus, and the students here are very smart.

Although most of the spirits showed signs of madness, in the face of Sakir's "death trap", no stupid student stood up against their old principal at this time.

Even the Grand Consul Lady Verala, who had betrayed Thakir, bowed her head in humility to show her obedience.

"very good!"

Thaqir nodded with satisfaction, and as the skull fire burned more intensely, he shouted:

"Then the motion to 'rebuild the Arcana Academy' was unanimously passed. What are you still doing? Look at the desolate ruins around you. How can you continue to teach in such a terrible environment?

Move it!

In three days, I want to see a clean Secret Academy! Well, I also learned and borrowed very effective new thought management models from fellow outstanding educators from the alien planet.

I decided to govern the freshman academy with paramilitary rules.

Those who dare to be lazy, those who are lazy, those who have failed three consecutive assessments, those who have not earned enough credits before graduation, those who cannot complete homework independently, those who engage in academic fraud, those who dare to discuss the principal's decision in private, and those who are afraid of the devil.

You'd better get rid of your bad habits, otherwise you'll be waiting to become the soul core of the Academy Guards!

Now!

Start cleaning before school starts now! If successfully completed within 24 hours, 0.5 credits will be added to each person, and 50 credits will be deducted for each person who cannot complete it tomorrow afternoon.

Do you have any opinions on this? "
