Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Ah, how long have I been asleep?"

General Shandris Yuyue woke up leisurely after more than ten minutes.

Probably because she had seen Jarod risking his life in front of his lover when he was attacked by Archimonde, which caused her to withstand more energy shocks, making Shandris' injury more serious than Jarod's.

However, the power of the Life Titan is indeed powerful. After Freya's treatment, Shandis and Jarod recovered very well.

But when General Yuyue opened his eyes, he saw Jarod with a bruised nose and face, sitting on the edge of the bed, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he had touched a wound, which made the commander grit his teeth in pain.

In front of him, Ms. Maiev, who was wearing a Watcher armor, was wiping the blood off her gloves and preparing to leave. The pirate was holding her hand and giving instructions.

He looks like a good man to his mother-in-law.

"What's wrong with you?"

Shandis asked weakly.

Jarod covered his face, waved his hands and said casually:

“Well, it’s the aftereffects of the curse.

The Defiler was so vicious. In addition to cursing us to transform into demons, he also cast such cruel magic on me that it made me look like I had been beaten up by a pair of bitches.

But don't worry.

The breath left by the Life Titan will help us heal quickly, and we will be fine early tomorrow morning. "

"You just said 'dog man and woman', right? I seemed to hear it, and it was very real."

Blake turned his head and said something cold and sinister.

Jarod shook his head and said with an upright expression that Black must have heard wrongly. How could a high-ranking commander like him, and a ten thousand-year-old elf, use such vulgar adjectives?

"For the rest of the battle, you will stay in the Hall of Valor honestly."

Maiev stood at the door, holding her thorn blade, showing the majesty of a sister and said to her brother:

"The situation in the Antolan Wasteland is not a borderland like Crokuun. If you go there with your little ability to protect yourself, you will be in danger at any time. As the commander-in-chief, you should not put any pressure on the soldiers!

I think what happened this time is a lesson for you.

If Black and the others hadn't rescued the cosmic soul of the Living Titan, I would have lost my brother, and there would have been one more damn demon name on my very long hunting list. "

"Sister, please don't exaggerate this horror, okay? I'm not a child anymore."

Jarod wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and said helplessly:

"This time it was just an accident. After all, the grudge between Archimonde and I was forged ten thousand years ago. Besides, didn't my brother-in-law kill it already?

The other demons have little interest in a weak elf like me. "

"Don't call him 'brother-in-law'!"

Maiev scolded:

"As a clergyman, I have dedicated everything to Elune, and secular marriage has long since left me."

"Ah, yes, yes, I know, I was wrong, okay, you have been saying this for ten thousand years. If this is self-hypnosis, that would be too bad."

Jarod shrugged and said helplessly:

"It was Lord Black, who has a 'close relationship' with our family, who saved me from the disaster, but I am too weak now to express my heartfelt thanks to him, so I asked my sister to convey this to me and Shandis. grateful.

Well, I'm going to rest.

I am a patient, so can you two go to other places to show your affection? In case I hear something I shouldn’t hear again, you will join forces and say it to me.

Uh, I won’t say any more!

I go to sleep. "

After saying that, Jarod closed his eyes and lay on the bed. He also covered Shandris' ears beside him to prevent her from hearing those extremely disgusting words.

With this attitude, Maiev clenched her fists in anger and was about to perform "Eldest Sister's Care", but Blake, who was smiling happily, stretched out his hand to stop her.

He took out a package of things from his pocket, threw it next to Jarod, and said:

"Your child is about to be born, and I don't have anything to give you. These are some scraps I got from Archimonde, and I have already processed them.

Take it back and give it to your children to play with.

It can help them resist some curse magic and so on, so it can be regarded as an amulet.

I'll send your sister away from here and come back to see you later. "

After saying that, Blake pushed Maiev, who was still angry, to leave the command post. Only then did Jarod open his eyes. He sighed and lamented that his sister had indeed still had this awkward personality for more than 10,000 years.

If she could be bolder and establish a relationship with Black earlier, there would be no other women beside the pirate.

He sat up from the bed, opened the small package left by Blake, and took out a crystal clear ball from it, which was about the size of a fist and looked very beautiful in his hand.

It can still emit light in the dim night, just like amber, which looks very warm.

"I have never seen this kind of gem before. Is this a crystal unique to Agusta?"

Jarod put the thing in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and he admired:

"As expected of the Draenei who are proficient in gem carving. Look how perfectly they have treated this crystal ball. The children will definitely like it."

"Those are eyeballs, you idiot."

General Shandris is indeed a veteran warrior who has been on the front lines in the War of the Ancients and fought with demons. She is completely different from commanders like Jarod who sit in the rear.

She saw the truth about the "crystal ball" in Jarod's hand at a glance.

She said quietly:

"It should have been completely removed with extremely high skills when the corpse was disposed of. I have only seen such evil materials in some manuscripts recording dark knowledge.

It is said that because of the extremely high concentration of magic power in the bodies of high-ranking demons, once their eyeballs are removed, they can become very good magic items without much processing.

The eye crystal in your hand comes from Archimonde, but there is no trace of evil energy on it. It must have been carefully processed by Lord Black.

But I still think you can use these things yourself and don’t give them to children to play with. "

"Well"

Jarod's hands shook, and he said in an awkward tone:

"Well, I'm not a spellcaster, so you should just take it and use it. I'm not going to the battlefield and won't be able to use this. Let's look at other things. The gift from my brother-in-law really has 'pirate characteristics'."

As he spoke, he poured out everything in the small bundle and spread it out in front of his eyes. He held the weak Shandis in his arms and asked General Yuyue to identify the materials of these things for him.

"Well, this should be an arrowhead made of devil's teeth. I know this. It is a dagger made of devil's claws. It is born with a devil's curse. These two things belong to me, and they will be used in the subsequent battles.

and this

Is this a talisman made from the tailbone?

It doesn't seem to come from Archimonde. Judging from the curvature of the bones, it should be material from the Abyss Lord. Uh, Jarod, are you okay?

You look so pale. Do you want me to call a doctor for you? "

"Uh, it's okay. I just... just don't think these things are suitable as 'children's toys'. You can take them all away. I think I'm going to have a nightmare at night."

On the other side, Black sent Maiev to the edge of the position, where a group of Watchers were already lined up, preparing to set off to the Antoran Wasteland with the demon hunters under Illidan.

After seeing Blake and Maiev walking over, everyone lowered their heads and went about their own business in a tacit understanding, and no one rushed them.

Maiev felt a little uncomfortable and pushed the pirate to let him go about his business, but Black obviously didn't intend to leave just like that. He pointed to his cheek and said to Maiev:

"I need a farewell kiss, right?"

"There are so many people!"

Maiev, who was wearing a battle helmet, waved her fist and said:

"Do you want me to punch you?"

"also."

The pirate winked and said:

"As long as you are willing to fight, I don't care."

Maiev was very angry.

But she soon calmed down and said:

"You want a kiss, don't you? You greedy pirate, do you really need such a ceremony?"

"Of course, I won't leave without this kiss."

The pirate is so thick-skinned. He doesn't care at all about the looks of the watchers next to him who are secretly looking at him and Maiev. As for the demon hunter, there is no need to worry.

These guys are blind.

What they can't see.

"I won't kiss you, Blake, but I can give my heart to another person and ask her to do it for me. Do me a favor, will you? Xal'atath."

Maiev snorted and took a step back.

"Of course, I'm happy to, stinky Maiev, I owe you a favor today, but don't worry, I will never return the favor to you!"

By the time the pirates sensed something was wrong, it was already too late.

Amid Xal'atath's happy laughter, a gust of black wind blew up, just like a monster leaving its nest. Blake was caught off guard and was swept into the air and flew whistling towards the edge of the mountain.

He could still see Maiev standing on the ground from the air, waving goodbye to him solemnly.

This stinky woman, she actually learned bad things!

But this is not the primary issue that Blake has to consider now. Wrapped in the evil wind, he has already felt the twisted passion of Xal'atath erupting.

He was like a giant snake in heat wrapping around its miserable prey and dragging it back to its lair.

At this moment, he felt it.

He might be doomed.

——

"Change! Change quickly!"

Three hours after the pirates sent Maiev away tenderly, in a secret corner of the Wall of Krokuun, Xal'atath was blocking the disheveled Black in a cave and facing the pirates. Scream to:

"I know you already have the appearance of the abyss, let me see it quickly!"

"Sister Sa, don't want it!"

Blake, who had been so high-spirited just now, was now screaming with his arms trembling.

Of course, this embarrassing posture was because he had just been drained several times and now he was asked to transform again. Just by looking at the burning desire in Xal'atath's eyes, the pirate knew that he was in big trouble.

If he really transformed here, Xal'atath would never let him go so easily.

The "savage battle" between the two ancient gods was beyond the strength of Krokuun's continental shelf, which was already very fragile. The result of any riot would be for the newly recaptured land to fall apart in the tremors of the earth.

Of course, the more important reason is that Blake cannot waste his precious transformation opportunity on this kind of thing, although his turbulent heart really wants to try this "outside" taboo experience.

To be honest, in terms of the casual long looks of the ancient gods, Xal'atath's abyssal appearance is no longer ugly, and can even be regarded as "fair-faced".

But now is really not the time to do such a thing!

"There's no moonlight here, my little darling."

Blake sighed and said:

“If you change the past, you can’t change it back.”

"Wouldn't that be better?"

Xalatas' beautiful and charming face showed an expression of "This is what I want". She proudly let out a sharp laughter like a queen and said:

"This way no one will compete with me for you. Only I can withstand that form. Sephiel and Maiev will only be crushed by you and pinched hahaha. The consequences of size mismatch are terrible.

good.

Just change it here. "

"don't want!"

Blake screamed and said:

"Be normal, you and I are here to talk about business. Regarding the destiny of the ancient gods, it is definitely okay for you to stay in Draenor as a variant of the ancient lord, but I have been given the compulsion to devour Argus. Order.

You know what this means, right? "

"That means that my dear baby has embarked on the great path of prosperity as the God of the Void, that means that I will have a godly husband, that means that my little cutie's reputation will spread throughout the Sunless Sea .

That means no one will dare to bully me again. "

Xalatas didn't care about her naked body, and just wrapped around Blake, kissing her passionately. In the tenderness of the dog and woman, she licked her tongue and whispered:

"I knew you would protect me, my sweet little man, and my swarm and I are ready to go, and I give my all to my only god.

Isn't it Argus?

I will help you complete this great undertaking, help you wrest Him from the hands of the demons, and witness with my own eyes the moment when my little cutie becomes a god. "

"But that's not what I want."

The pirate hugged Xal'atas, who was feeling hot, and said with a sullen face:

"This is beyond my plan. Once I complete my mission of devouring the heart of the world, I will be absorbed by the Sunless Sea, and it will be difficult for me to set foot in the material world.

But my great plan is not yet complete.

Perhaps I can sacrifice Argus to the Sunless Sea."

"No, you must devour the world!"

Xal'atath was immediately frightened when she heard the pirate's plan, and she warned sternly:

"The mission of the Sunless Sea has been issued, and you and Argus are completely tied together. If you cannot complete the feat of devouring the heart of the world, you will become a loser who will be abandoned forever by the Sunless Sea.

You can send the unborn world soul into the void world to add future allies to yourself, but once it is conceived, you must eat it!

Otherwise, the rejection of you by the Sunless Sea itself is enough to make you lose everything you have worked hard to achieve.

You will become a void exile.

That is the most terrible punishment that a void creature can receive. Don't ever have such thoughts.

However, if you are just worried about not wanting to enter the realm of the Sea of ​​Void now, there is nothing you can do about it. "

The ancient venerable chuckled lightly and said to Black:

“My little cutie, you walk a rare path of balance, you always have two choices.

As long as you can maintain neutrality, no matter it is the Sunless Sea or the Life Realm, they will have to fight first to seize your ownership."

"This is what worries me."

The pirate picked up his pipe and said helplessly:

"Elune's light cannot shine on Argus, and I cannot serve the life force here at all."

"What's so hard about this?"

Xalatas lay on Black's chest, and the big pirate was dizzy. She held Black in her arms, stroking his hair as if comforting a child, and whispered viciously:

"Isn't the annoying Tyrande here? I'll help you kill her or we can arrange a trap for her to die in the hands of the devil, and then you drain her of the grace of the moon and the life force from her body.

Who says Order Walkers can't devour each other?

As long as we find the right way, all the Moon Gods among the stars will be your ‘reserve food’. As for Luna's condemnation, don't worry at all, my little cutie.

This is Argus.

There are dangers everywhere here. Isn't it normal for a delicate moon god to choose to be killed by a demon here? All you need is to make up your mind and leave the rest to me

ah! Be gentle! "
