Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Then that's just obsession! The sad obsession of the undead"

Faced with the bad students' malicious ridicule, Dean Lanyue in the darkness held on to the staff with an unprecedented shame and anger, lowered his head and said to Black:

"Never again, I swear on my phylactery! Take it, Black."

Dean Lanyue took out a teardrop elf gem and put it into the pirate's hand. She said in an excited and serious tone:

"If I lose control again, don't hesitate to destroy it! I would rather remain silent forever than let the pure teacher-student relationship between us enter an embarrassing future."

"Well"

Blake looked at the cold and gloomy Lich Phylactery in his hand. He didn't know how to respond to the dean's extreme apology.

"Look up, Dean, and let me see your eyes."

The pirate said something.

Because he was holding the Lich's phylactery, Dean Lanyue raised his head obediently.

Black looked into Dean Lanyue's eyes. Although they were still the gloomy eyes of a lich, the pirates could still distinguish from them a surge of longing and the despair of having no love after death.

"trouble."

The pirate frowned.

To be able to activate the mental activity of an emotionless lich to this extent, things seem to be really troublesome. Suppressing obsessions is like raising a puppy. Once the puppy sees blood, you can't hold it back, so you can't keep it.

When the dean handed over his phylactery to himself, he probably anticipated the possibility of a second loss of control in the future.

This is a terrible danger.

Because of this incident, Dean Lanyue has developed the most terrifying self-destructive tendency for an undead.

Black knew that he had to solve this problem immediately. He did not want to see the dean of Nathalas College die inexplicably in an experimental accident.

The pirate thought for a moment, glanced at the lich phylactery in his hand, and whispered to the dean:

"Did you have a lover ten thousand years ago? I mean the kind of past memories that can be used to replace your twisted obsession with me."

"No!"

Dean Lanyue felt insulted, and she said seriously:

"I never join the ranks of my dissolute compatriots, and I am never alone, for magic and truth are my lovers."

"very good."

Blake showed a weird smile and said:

"I know how to solve this problem. Leave it to me. Mr. Dean, your illness is cured, so you'd better keep this thing yourself.

What I mean is, find a corner where no one is and bury it.

I heard that the Storm Peaks will be permanently closed soon and will not be opened until the end of the next era. Maybe you can consider sending it to a hall in Ulduar. Our friend Mimiron will definitely keep it safe for you. its.

Of course, it's best not to let that madman know where you hid the phylactery.

I'm afraid that he might use this thing on a whim and perform terrible experiments. "

The pirate put the gloomy phylactery back into the hands of the dean. He hummed a weird pirate song and walked down the stairs leading to the underground. Dean Lan Yue pursed his lips and followed him down.

This tunnel leading to the depths of the ground is incredibly long. In terms of height, the underground area of ​​the newly completed No. 13 Teaching Experimental Building is much larger than the above-ground area, at least five times larger.

It is simply an underground palace.

But its design is very interesting. It was not excavated to look like a real underground palace. Instead, it was shaped into an inverted spire column surrounded by stone slabs and columns carved with various magic runes.

And the further down you go, the more amazing the flow of magic power from the magic network gathers, as if the energy of the entire Palatine and even the Demon King's node underground in the Eastern Kingdom's sea area is directed here.

Logically speaking, this level of energy gathering will definitely attract the immediate attention of the Blue Dragon Legion, but considering that the Blue Dragon Legion is now busy taking care of the weak Spellweaver, and their next Blue Dragon Queen will He was studying at Nathalas College, so the Magic Legion chose to turn a blind eye.

Also because the entire Azeroth has been fully supporting Argus's expedition in the past period, and all adult blue dragons have been summoned to Ulduar to assist the guardians in harnessing the Titan energy of the Forge of Origin. They have no time to pay attention to Tolbara. The magic power gathered under the German Sea.

It was equivalent to the members of the Grand Wizard's Magic Salon having a secret game under the blue dragon's nose.

By the time Blake returns to Azeroth, the preliminary preparations for this magic well have been completed, and they will complete the last operation of the Well of Destiny tonight.

Fill it with water!

Well, certainly not ordinary water.

When Blake reached the ring at the bottom of the Well of Destiny, there were already many people gathered here.

In addition to Ms. Aegwynn, who was holding her baby son, and the top spellcasters under her command, there were also members of the elves, the three Windrunner sisters and their mothers who came on behalf of Quel'Thalas, and Sangunar. baron.

These are the helpers who helped Alleria obtain the Sunwell design plan during the naval battle of Quel'Thalas.

On Suramar's side were Thalyssra, the First Mate and Chief Arcanist of the Nightborne Pirate Fleet, and her two friends, the current Archon Lilith Yuejun and her sister Anarres Yuejun.

and their mutual fiancé Lilas Windrunner.

When the pirate opened the door and came in, Rilas was being scolded by his mother with his head lowered, and several sisters were still helping him. Obviously, they were not very satisfied with this deviant marriage.

Even though the other party's family background is much more prominent than that of the Windrunner family, even though the other party's wealth is far greater than that of the ranger family, which has always been neutral and therefore poor, and even though the other party's family has basically controlled Suramar's financial power, Lilas "married him" "After that, you can justifiably go to Queen Azshara to ask for a title and become the "King of Sh'dorei" in the true sense.

But is this enough for the Windrunners to send the only male of this generation out for marriage?

Of course not!

Even though everyone in Quel'Thalas, from the Sun King Anastarian to the lower-level members of the newly rebuilt Silver Moon Council, wanted to knock out the little puppy Lilas, strip him naked, and send him to the bed of the Yue County sisters, Let them have sex on the first day and get pregnant and have children the next day, so as to strengthen Quel'Thalas' influence in Shal'dorei society.

But this incident itself is still not an "honor" for the conservative Windrunner family.

In addition to these people, there are several special characters on the edge of the underground circle of the Well of Destiny.

Including Farodin, the Druid of the Hidden School of the High Elves, who holds a gem box containing the Arcandor tree species, and Farodin, the Druid of the Hidden School of the High Elves, who has always had no sense of presence in the pirate faction, and has now been reduced to guarding the gate of Nathalath Academy. The Faldorei Spider-Elves.

The former is already one of the tutors of the Natural School of Nathalas College, and the latter... well, how should I describe it?

Although Black has always despised Fat Red as a disgrace to the entire Undead Fleet, saying that bastard was used to lying flat and rotten, and was the most beautiful and motivated bastard among all pirate factions.

But the fact is that compared to these spider-elf Faldorei who have followed Black early, Red can be regarded as a three-good orc who is diligent in government affairs and dedicated to making progress.

These Faldorei spider elves were distorted in appearance by the great explosion of Arkandor, and they hate sunlight and can only live in the dark forest of Tol Barad and the underground tunnels of the academy.

Their combat effectiveness is limited to scaring those students who have never seen the world and like to run around, and because of their small number, they have not been able to develop.

Blake had given up on them long ago and was then assigned to the college by Dean Blue Moon to take charge of night vigilance and protect underground buildings.

Such a mundane errand is boring to do.

But for the Faldorei spider elves who have long been smoothed out by suffering, being able to get such a small amount of money, with less to do, close to home, and no need to worry too much is a blessing from the sky. Difference.

Even their nominal queen Oraxis happily gave up the honorable title of "Queen" and walked through the college's huge underground facilities all day long under the title of "Security Supervisor of the Underground Area of ​​Nathalas College" From time to time, he swaggered around, and occasionally was responsible for disposing of various magical garbage in the experimental building.

His life is almost as good as that of old Ghani.

Because although these Faldorei are not that aggressive in character, their appearance is indeed beyond the aesthetics of ordinary people, and the existence of spider elves is the secret of the academy. As soon as they come and go, rumors like " The strange rumors about the "Seven Mysteries of Nar'thalas".

Well, they live underground, are cruel and vicious, and feed on the brains of disobedient bad students. They are said to be mysterious elf spider monsters transformed from the resentful spirits of students who were unable to graduate. They are ranked sixth in this rumor.

It's right between the fifth place "No one can find the mysterious Assassin Academy that doesn't exist at all" and the seventh place "The weird spirit that always collects treasures in the garbage dumps of various colleges at night."

But the Faldorei, who have always been useless and not taken seriously by anyone, have indeed made great achievements this time. In the huge underground area of ​​​​the Well of Destiny, they relied on workers to dig up to the end of the dog year and horse month. .

80% of this huge underground construction area was dug and decorated by the Fadorei.

They are very passionate about this life.

Almost all of the less than 600 members of the clan gathered here to dig day and night, because the Faldorei knew that their appearance and will were distorted by the Arcandor explosion, and only Arcandor could The fruit can be cured.

This is their only chance.

"O noble spirit, your servant has a humble request."

When Blake took over the half-bottle of concentrated Well of Eternity water essence from the hands of Dean Blue Moon under the gaze of everyone, the leader of Faldorei, who was always small and transparent, always looked cowardly Spider Queen Ou Laches burst out of the crowd wearing a white engineering helmet.

This guy is quite safety-conscious and knows to wear a helmet when digging underground.

She humbly lay at Blake's feet with her eight legs and begged in ancient Salas language:

"For the sake of our best efforts to serve you and the academy, can we give this quiet and safe underground area to Fadorei to use as the territory of our new kingdom after the Well of Destiny is completed?

Please understand that we are not trying to monopolize the Well of Destiny.

It's just that as the cursed ones, we are destined not to live under the sun, but we like the quiet environment of the college very much, and we hope to live here forever.

By the way, I will forever guard for you the great miracles that will be born in this world."

"You heard the news about Azshara's rise in the deep sea, so you felt afraid, right?"

How could Faldorei's little thoughts be hidden from Black? Lord Moon Shadow chuckled, reached out and patted the obedient Spider Queen on the head, and said:

"Of course, I have great sympathy for a group of poor people who have lost everything, and I am also deeply moved by your useless but loyal loyalty.

I will allow you to have this vast underground area.

But you have to control the speed at which you lay eggs. I don't want my Well of Destiny to be crawling with spider webs and become a spider nest. If you have to lay eggs, go to the Black Forest. I heard that the snake people there have a good relationship with you. "

"Thank you for your mercy, great spirit."

The satisfied Faldorei cheered all over the underground area. Their hard work was rewarded, which made the spider elves feel happy.

"let's start."

Behind Black, Ms. Aegwynn, who was holding her son, urged. For today's event, she specially changed into the gorgeous robe she wore as a guardian.

The other spellcasters also dressed up to attend. The slutty old man Sachiel even wore the robe of the principal of the Arcane Academy, while the three warlocks dressed themselves up like walking jewelry display racks, as if they were afraid that others would not notice. Knowing they had made a fortune in Argus.

Introverted at all.

Hey, pathetic bastard. The other spellcasters commented with sour tones.

The next moment, as Blake unscrewed the stopper of the eternal well water, everyone held their breath and watched as Blake raised his hand and poured the bright liquid exuding seven colors of light from the edge of the hall into the almost substantial violet that echoed in front of them. The bottom of the well of erotic magic tide.

The moment the concentrated blood of the world was poured into the magic tide, a bright light burst out in front of everyone's eyes. A majestic energy was brewing on the magic node under their feet. The ocean around the entire island was surging at this moment.

And at this moment, the door of the underground hall was kicked open.

In the screams of the "undercover" little star who was finally exposed, she was pulled into the hall by the ears by the angry Spellweaver in human form, followed by her grandfather.

However, the ancient blue dragon Senegos appeared in a strange troll form this time.

A large group of blue dragons followed behind, as well as guardian dragon kings such as the Red Dragon Queen and the Green Dragon Queen. They were all murderous, and everyone behind Blake also drew their weapons at this moment.

Especially the elves.

They did not allow the future of the rebirth of the race to be destroyed by a group of unknown dragons. Even the weak Faldorei were surrounded from all sides with their claws and teeth.

This is a matter related to the future of the race, and there is no room for them to hesitate at this time.

"Stop! Blake!"

Spellweaver held up the Focusing Iris and shouted:

"Otherwise I'll blow it up! There can't be another Well of Eternity in Azeroth, it will open the way for the demons to get here, you crazy people!"

"Captain! Continue!"

The captured little star didn't know where she got the courage. She pushed Spellweaver away and opened her arms to block the dragon compatriots. She screamed:

“This gift belongs to everyone!

The devil has been defeated by us, and the Well of Destiny will make the world a better place! I will not allow you to destroy this future, even if you are my compatriots

The era of dragons being foolish and indifferent to the world's strife is over! We should realize that we are just a part of this world and not the master.

Captain, go on!

I can withstand their siege. "

"No, you can't stand it, poor and cute little fool."

Blake didn't care at all about the tense scene behind him. He maintained the action of pouring the water from the eternal well and said:

"Who asked you to come? Dragons, are you our great Lord Norgannon? Well, I know that He who is so controlling will not allow such a miracle to fall into the hands of a group of creations that He regards as imperfect. .

But when do I need their permission to do things under Lady Elune's instructions?

Please be quiet, everyone! "

The power of the Quiet One's godhead exploded at this moment, and the shadow of the abyss howled and surged up to block all light.

It bared its teeth and claws and let out a divine roar at all nearby beings, pushing them all into a state of forced calm where their minds were frozen, making everyone's eyes focus on the pirate.

And Blake casually threw the empty eternal water bottle to the illusion of old Garni who was shaking his head at his feet.

The guy didn't reach out to catch it. Instead, he waited until the water bottle was smashed before proudly collecting the precious garbage.

In the grand background of intertwined light and shadow, where the bright golden stream of light goes straight into the sky and the reflection of the abyss slowly recedes, the roar of the Well of Destiny vibrates along the magic network of the entire world, turning its new will into a stream of light that shoots straight into the sky, declaring a and The emergence of something different and great.

In this reverberation, Blake turned around and opened his arms towards the people behind him.

The bright moonlight shone and turned into wings, making him say with a smile like a sermon:

"The prophet's mission is to bring about change, whether you want it or not. Anyway, welcome to the new world, everyone."
