Shadow Trails in Azeroth

In the ancient palace filled with the power of the void, the Dark Naaru floats quietly above the Archon's platform, spinning her body as lightly as she once did when she was the incarnation of the Holy Light.

But what emanates from that dim light is no longer a song full of courage and hope. Instead, the dark song of despair is echoing, tugging at everyone's heartstrings.

Even the simple-minded little star felt upset and angry after listening to it for a long time under the protection of the ancient god Black.

After taking a picture of the dark Naru's gloomy posture with her camera, she retreated with the little murloc who was also affected.

She felt that such a sunny and kind-hearted blue dragon princess should not stay with such a dark creature for too long. She would definitely be polluted, and then she would not be able to be a beautiful girl full of vitality!

But this Dark Naru is also strange.

Although as a singularity of void pollution, she constantly spreads the aura of corruption outwards, but she herself does not actively attack the surrounding creatures, and is as lazy as if she has not woken up.

After walking out of the palace, Little Xingxing saw a Dual Realm Walker standing by a stone and reciting something. She rolled her eyes and ran over to ask this strange virtual spirit a question.

The Dual Realm Walker also answered Little Xingxing's doubts in his very calm and rational tone.

"She didn't attack you because she was about to die. The death of Lula, a blue dragon from another world, was a very long and painful process. What's even more miserable is that she was left here to wait for death alone."

It told the little star:

"Rula was once one of the guardian Naaru of the Draenei. In the golden age of Argus, she was regarded as the guardian of the world by the believers of the Holy Light headed by Velen, and she was also a staunch follower of the ancestor Naaru Adal. By.

Leura is the bravest and most dedicated member of all the Naluri, as she treats the eredar as her own children because of their innate connection with the Light.

When the devil came to the world of Argus and Velen fled by boat with the people who trusted him, Lula took the initiative to shoulder the most terrifying responsibility even though he knew the danger.

She remained in the Seat of the Triumvirate to defend Kil'jaeden, who had surrendered to the Burning Legion, and the endless demons.

She bought enough time for Velen to escape. It was not until the Stormhold and the Exodar disappeared into the stars of Argus that Leura gave up the fight.

She was already covered in bruises.

If you had looked carefully enough just now, you could have seen on Lula the terrible scars left by the brutal battle that year, and those scars have not yet healed to this day. "

"Ah! Is that so?"

Little Star's eyes widened.

She quickly recorded this touching story in her notebook, and then asked:

"But you just said that Lula was left here to die?"

"Well, she thought the demons would kill her mercilessly, and Lula was also waiting for that opportunity."

The dual realm traveler narrated the story he knew. It said:

"As a follower of Adal, Rula knew exactly what would happen when Naaru died. She had already made up her mind to use the tide of darkness that erupted when she died in battle to destroy the demons that destroyed her beloved world of Argus. Completely kill.

She wanted to die with the evil beings born in the Twisting Nether. However, she underestimated the cunning of the demons, or in other words, she underestimated the cunning of Kil'jaeden.

The fallen garrison commander ordered the demons to let the seriously injured Lula go.

He just so coldly threw the Guardian Naaru, who had guarded the eredar for thousands of years, deep into the seat of the Triumvirate, which symbolized the weak past.

Kil'jaeden wanted to say goodbye to his past in this way. The big demon knew exactly how to make Lula suffer the greatest pain, and it did so. "

Xu Ling shook his head and sighed:

"Seriously injured Lula was left here to die.

She was too weak, she was unable to stop the flow of her life, nor could she resist the calls that kept coming from the void because of her weakness.

She works hard to resist her dark side, but no one can help her.

She could only stay so lonely in this dark place, witnessing the world she loved and protected fall into the disaster of evil energy. This despair further deepened Lula's corruption.

After twenty-five thousand years of torture, the former defender of the world has become what you see.

She is the God of the Void shaped by despair and pain, and she is only one step away from her final fall. This is why I wanted to prevent Black from getting close to her before.

She was already very unstable.

Any stimulus may completely turn her into the dark form of the Entropy Demon. With her power and the extent of the darkness's corruption, once she falls into the darkness, Mac'Aree's end is imminent.

That's what the demons want to see.

They hope to see the land that is not under their control and represents the last life of Argus be swallowed up by darkness, so that they can completely defeat the last resistance of Argus's world star soul.

Lula's fall will create a dark titan born from the infusion of fel energy. "

"She's so pathetic, oh my God."

Little Xingxing recorded this story. She felt worried about Lula's fate. She looked at the Double Realm Walker and said:

"Then is there any way you can help her?"

"No more, at least there is no way to save Lula in the material world. She fell too deep into the darkness, unless a powerful ancestor Naaru is willing to sacrifice himself to purify Lula and let her return to the Holy Light. middle.

Otherwise, the Sunless Sea will be her final destination. "

The dual world traveler sighed:

“And it has to be fast!

I have made an agreement with Blake to send Lula into the Sunless Sea when she is about to die. Once she becomes an irrational dark entropy demon in the material world and is allowed to devour this broken earth, she will most likely grow. The other end is the 'devourer of worlds'. "

"The Devourer of Worlds? It sounds so majestic, but who is it?"

Little Xingxing asked curiously, and the Dual Realm Walker glanced at her and whispered:

"Dimensius, a god of the void who wanders among the material stars without control and has a gluttonous desire to devour the world as his instinct.

It was that monster that devoured our beautiful hometown of Karesh, and it was the pollution it spread that caused all the ethereal spirits to lose their physical form and become energy beings.

The Void Gods in that form are the manifestation of the darkest side of the Void Power. They pursue the heat death destruction of the material world as their ultimate goal and are pure destroyers of order.

Even the Old Gods hate them. "

"Wow, your Void Spirit story sounds so awesome."

Little Xingxing and I chatted for a while, and she patted the Dual Realm Walker on the shoulder in a familiar manner and said:

"When we have some time, I will definitely hear the story of Karesh's destruction from you, but for now, you hurry up and help Lula.

Captain Stinky is already waiting for you.

I will cheer for you from afar! My will is with you. "

After saying that, Little Xingxing threw a teleportation to keep herself away from this potentially dangerous palace. She stood far away on a pile of ruins and took out a telescope to look over here.

The dual realm walker ignored the powerful but timid appearance of the little star. It went through the "talking skills" of negotiating with the will of the void in its mind, and then entered with the special flickering style of the void spirit moving forward in different phases. The dark hall.

The pirates have now helped all the Holy Light Walkers here cut off their ties with Zeira.

They were all in great pain.

The sudden loss of the perception of the "source of faith" made these Holy Light warriors feel empty. It was as if the most important things had been taken away from them out of thin air, and each one of them looked depressed.

But this is at least much better than the crazy attitude of a group of people just going crazy to the point of death.

After eliminating the interference of blind faith in Zella, these weak and painful guys were finally able to face the cruel reality with a more just attitude.

Of course, if they hadn't seen Lula's corruption and had doubts about the "Holy Light Omnipotence" that they firmly believed in, Black, who was even more capable, wouldn't have been able to cut off their connection with Zella so easily.

They will be at a loss at this time. It is the time when the world outlook, outlook on life and values ​​collapse. However, no experienced old silver coin will miss this "perfect" opportunity.

So what the Double Realm Walker saw when he walked into the hall was a group of bewildered Holy Light warriors sitting in a circle around Blake, and his outstanding counterpart was transforming into a devout clergyman to "spread the gospel" to this group of lost lambs. ".

Blake would adjust his tone and use his gentle and magnetic voice to soothe the hearts of these confused warriors.

He also changed himself into a set of white holy clothes, holding a holy light scripture that he didn't know where it came from in one hand, and a pure flame incense burner that emitted sacred light in the other hand.

His compassionate attitude made him look like an old missionary, but his words were somewhat unorthodox.

"You have seen with your own eyes the two sides of light and darkness. Although this has brought you great pain, I do not think this is a form of excommunication, children of the Holy Light.

You should realize that what you see and feel today is the spiritual test that you must endure on the road to pursuing order and justice. The moment your once stubborn faith collapses, your sins of ignorance and blind obedience will be forgiven.

Your horizons have been broadened, and you are no longer limited by the bits of truth you see with your eyes.

Your hearts and your eyes have accepted all possible paths.

What you have been given today is to no longer rely on the will of others but your own choices to become protectors or punishers. Although what you do after that will be no different from before, I believe that you have all been transformed.

Do not hate the shadows, do not be hostile to the darkness, children.

Light and darkness are one.

It is precisely because of the light that darkness cannot cover everyone's eyes, and without darkness as a foil, the bright light will become meaningless.

look!

I have here a secret book from the Church of Shadow in Light in Azeroth, which completely records the feelings and thoughts of a devout priest who put on the cloak of darkness in the name of the Holy Light.

The wonderful ideas recorded in it will definitely help you better understand the teachings of the Holy Light.

You can't always let others tell you what is right. You must learn to distinguish this complicated world on your own and use your own power for what you think is the right path.

You must also learn the virtue of not being disturbed by others.

I have twenty scriptures here. I charge you 10,000 gold coins for each one. It is considered a friendly price. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money now. I can just make an IOU and stamp it with the seal of Grand Duke Mograine. I will then go to his family to ask for the account. .

The Mograine family is the top tycoon in our area, so there is no need to worry that this little money will burden him. "

The pirate noticed the Dual Realm Walker. He quickly ended his sermon and handed a stack of light and dark scriptures to Captain Faria, who resisted.

But he still took it in his hand and turned the first page, softly reciting this scripture from another world to the other companions.

Blake retreated quietly. He came to the Double Realm Walker and looked at the Holy Light Warriors with a pleased look. He whispered to the Double Realm Walker:

"Give me one more day, and I can make all these devout believers who have lost their allegiance become lackeys of the void, or war dogs that only obey my orders, and do cruel and ruthless things for me just to get from me. Get meager appreciation.

Tsk, what a pity.

We don't have that much time to waste. "

Blake sighed and said:

"What happened to Mac'Aree cannot be hidden from the Burning Legion. After Kil'jaeden realized that Lula's existence was about to die, it would inevitably speed up the final corrosion of the soul of Argus.

This war is accelerating before it even begins.

I also exposed my existence, and I can imagine how crazily the demons will chase me and then be killed by me. "

"I'm leaving here too."

Dual Realm Walker did not hide his thoughts, he said:

"Although you didn't tell me your ultimate purpose in Argus, I can probably guess why you came.

The era of imbalance in the Force is coming. I must unite my compatriots who can still be saved. There is no hometown left for us in this star. We must at least ensure that the fire of our civilization will not be extinguished in the dark era. "

"Maybe you can come to Azeroth."

The pirate shrugged and said:

"Anyway, we already have a group of Draenei people with horns on their heads and tails on their backs. It's not a big deal to have a group of bandaged people.

Those druids must be very interested in your eco-dome technology, which is a black technology that can build a self-sufficient environment in the doomsday wasteland. "

"This is also a good choice, but I have to convince those picky and ambitious node princes. This is not an easy job."

The dual world traveler shook his head.

It looked at Lula on the other side of the palace and said:

"Let's solve her problem first. She has been suffering for too long. It's time to let her rest in peace."

"Hold on."

Black made a gesture, and he walked to Archbishop Mograine, who was standing alone on the other side of the palace, keeping a distance from the Holy Light Warriors. He walked to the Archbishop who had his back turned to him and kept praying in a low voice, and whispered :

"Hey, what should I call you now? Archbishop? Grand Knight? Grand Duke?"

"Call me Mograine."

Mograine said in a hoarse and deep voice:

"Damn it! I feel like I have had a nightmare that has lasted for thirteen hundred years. Those lights, they are so bright, they cover my eyes and my heart. They tell me the great mission to let me know." I suppressed my longing for my hometown and relatives.

They transformed me into another me, a me that I imagined was indeed more perfect, a me that was so serious that I even hated myself.

I feel.

I feel like I've been mentally castrated!

Damn it!

My mind is still groggy, and the memories of the two personalities are constantly tumbling in my mind. I know that they are both me, and I have not been replaced, but I don’t know which identity should I choose now?

Stinky pirate, you look a lot more powerful again, and you also seem to have a long-term identity problem. I heard your dad complain that you are always hesitant between the two identities of Drake and Black.

So, please tell me, is this normal for me? "

"Well, this is most likely a precursor to schizophrenia, my poor Grand Duke."

Blake curled his lips, patted Mograine's shoulder in a serious manner and said:

"But don't worry, I know a lot of very helpful psychiatrists in Azeroth, and I have connections with them. I can arrange an urgent hospital stay for you and give you a discount or something.

If you can't trust them, I can personally help you treat them in my spare time.

However, the consultation fee must not be less.

Now, I need you to stand up, don't feel sorry for yourself like a sissy here, we need strong holy light to help Lula end the dark life.

You are the only paladin who can fight here. Do you remember the solar bombing you guided before with Krokuun?

I need you to grab your solar battle ax and do it again.

Come prepared and warm up.

Wait for my signal. "
