Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 1801 27. Maiev’s first wish [Please vote 33]

Later that day, at nearly midnight, the news of victory from the front line of the Great Temple spread throughout Suramar City, making the citizens who had been frightened all day feel a little relieved.

While the demons were attacking the front line, the winged flying demons also crossed the position and launched an attack on Suramar City. Fortunately, their number was small and Suramar was prepared in advance.

The good news is that as soon as those demons appeared, they were shot down from the sky by the city's city defense army rangers.

The bad news is that the city rangers did not have a correct understanding of the vitality of demons, causing those demons to crash into the city, destroying some houses and killing some unlucky elves.

This incident made the entire Suramar panic. Fortunately, the nobles who temporarily managed the city had some skills. They ordered the mages to send unique and powerful arcane golems to patrol to calm people's hearts.

Although most of the golems have been transferred to the front line, the remaining five- to six-meter-tall arcane and metal giants can still bring a lot of illusory sense of security to the civilians when they patrol.

But for those who know the truth, the victory on the front line is not worth mentioning at all.

"The Monkey King sent me news that Lord Ravencrest's army was only a vanguard that defeated the demons, and the other demons voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield.

They didn't even come into contact with the elves' legion. They probably realized that the elves' 'decapitation tactics' were useful, so they were preparing countermeasures. "

In the Moon Temple of Suramar, Emperor Shaohao, who was temporarily staying here in the name of "recuperation", worriedly said to Blake, who was sitting by the window of his room:

"High Lord Ravencrest is a very good commander who is good at listening to suggestions. He decisively adopted Illidan's suggestions and implemented hunting tactics. The death of the demon commander plunged the demon vanguard into chaos, which led to victory.

But the battle that lasted less than an hour caused heavy injuries to the warriors on the front line.

According to the Monkey King, almost all the soldiers who retreated from the battlefield were injured, many people died in the front line, and at least one-fifth of the elite who followed Ravencase in the charge were lost.

I hate to say it, but their victory was minuscule. "

The Pandaren Emperor had seen with his own eyes how many demons there were on the Zin-Azshari Plains. He knew that killing a demon vanguard was nothing at all. To the demons, it was nothing.

What's more, the portal over the Well of Eternity is still sending out more demons, and Suramar is not killing them faster than others.

"It's just a 'hello'."

Black played with the flagon in his hand and said to the panda:

"The victory of the war does not lie on the frontal battlefield at all. Even the upgraded Plus version of the anti-demon coalition formed by me ten thousand years later will not be able to fight against the Burning Legion on the frontal battlefield.

It is obviously not necessary to play the human sea tactic with the devil. I believe that a commander of Ravencase's level must have understood this truth after today's battle.

You don't have to worry either.

I have used my own way to give them the ‘secret to victory’ without affecting the direction of their destiny. "

Pirate Chips winked and said in a long voice:

"When the time comes, they will know how to win before the demon's crushing offensive. They must especially use their brains when fighting these evil barbarians. Those fools who can't use their brains will have died long ago."

"Why can you be so calm!"

Shaohao sighed and said to Black angrily:

"What we are talking about is a war, a war in which many people will die! Do you really have no feeling about the loss of life? Didn't you say that part of you belongs to the good gods in the realm of life?"

"I respect life, so I didn't join it and bring more variables, didn't I?"

The pirate rolled his eyes and said to the angry Shaohao:

"But you have to understand, my friends, what is happening in your eyes is an established fact of the past to me. Those who have died, are dying, and are about to die are all already in my eyes. Dead people.

Just like when I listen to a story, I will feel emotions in my heart because of the ups and downs of the story, but I will not be stupid enough to ask the storyteller to change the context of the story for the happy ending in my heart.

I can't do that. "

Blake shook his head, pointed to the sky, and said mysteriously:

"Life and death are inevitable. Once I trigger large-scale changes in life and death, my time travel will be in vain. You have your troubles, and I have mine.

So, don't put any more pressure on me, okay? "

"I do not understand."

Shaohao frowned and said:

“But I can sense you’re not lying to me, and to summarize what you’re saying is that there’s an invisible ‘line’ to your actions here, right?

There are no taboos until the line is crossed, but once that line is crossed, everything is closed? "

“It’s easy to talk to smart people.”

The pirate jumped down from the window. He stretched his neck in appreciation and said:

"The story of this era ten thousand years ago is destined to have a good ending, but the ending ten thousand years later is still unknown. I can make the ending of this era better according to your ideas.

I can go to Zin Azshari alone now and kill Azshara, the 'source of all evil', with a perfect assassination.

It's easy.

But the price of doing this is that the world in ten thousand years will move from the balance I have managed to maintain to the end of destruction. Now, if you were me, how would you choose?

Do you still want me to step in and save more people? "

"Farewell, you should continue to stay in Suramar and fall in love with Miss Maiev."

Shaohao curled his lips. The Pandaren Emperor rolled his eyes and took the wine from Black. He then picked up his Dragon Staff and said to the pirate:

"I'm going to the front line now. I feel uneasy staying here. But I want to confirm again. You can't interfere, but I can, right?"

"Well, you are free to move."

The pirate nodded and said:

“But we can’t leave too obvious historical traces, and it’s better to keep a low profile.

The fact that the demons have stopped marching now is not because they have good intentions. They realize that the elves have discovered the weaknesses of their command system, and they should be waiting for the arrival of a higher-level demon commander.

I mean, if those guys show up, don't rush in and fight.

I have made arrangements, and when it is time to act, I will not miss your fight. But if the Pandaren Emperor dies in the elven world, then Pandaria will be doomed.

This is your action restriction, always put life first. "

"understood."

Shaohao nodded, raised his head and took a sip of wine, then jumped out of the window of the Moon Temple with the swiftness of a monk.

Blake watched him leave, shook his head again, and disappeared from the room in a flash. When he reappeared, he had arrived at the Moon Chamber in the Temple of the Moon.

He walked in the light of floating candles. In the quiet hall in front of him, there was only a familiar figure praying under the altar of the moon sculpture.

"You're really on time."

The pirate whispered something. He walked forward, half-knelt down beside Miss Maiev, closed his eyes in a praying posture, and said softly:

"Recovered?"

"I'm not hurt."

Maiev whispered something, and then the trainee priest pursed his lips and said:

"About the power you left me, when I take a break at noon, I can feel you guiding me in my shooting and fighting skills when I close my eyes. It's like a dream.

But after I woke up, I really felt that my combat skills had been greatly improved, as if I had actually participated in a battle.

Mr. Black, are you trying to groom me? "

"You can think so."

Blake's shadow stretched and twisted on the ground as the candlelight danced in the Moon Chamber. The abyss spread in the darkness and soon covered the walls and windows around the chamber, blocking out all exploration from the outside world. .

Like a sincere believer, he said to Miss Maivey:

"You are destined to bear great and heavy responsibilities. Just like many warriors of this era, you will soon embark on your own path.

But there isn't much time left for you, so I used a little 'acceleration' method.

Does this cause you trouble? Maiev. "

"No, no, I have no resistance. Especially after seeing the ferocity and terror of the demon with my own eyes, I know that I must have more power to protect Lady Elune's people."

Maiev shook her head.

The young white-haired elf was silent for a moment and then said:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Black, without your permission, I informed Priest Dejana of your name, and I told them that they can pray to the 'Shadow of the Moon' in times of crisis.

Will this cause you trouble? "

"No, that's exactly what I want you to do."

The pirate shook his head and said:

"This is also what Lady Elune wants to see. Your Majesty the Moon God is a benevolent god. She is troubled by the fact that there are too few believers to help her in this era.

My appearance can make up for her regrets, and the changes in the realm of the gods will not be noticed by those who are interested. The Shadow of the Moon is Elune's power, and I just brought its true mystery into the world 10,000 years in advance.

But Maiev, you have to be prepared. "

"Um?"

Maiev turned to look at Mr. Black, who was mysterious and powerful, especially kind to her, and so gentle that she was a little scared. She whispered:

"what to prepare?"

"Chosen by God."

Blake opened his eyes with a smile, and the dim moonlight reflected in his rolling blue eyes like the sea.

He said softly:

"You will become the chosen one of the Shadow Moon, just like your companion Tyrande Windspeaker will become the chosen one of the Bright Moon. This is what Ms. Elune has entrusted. It is I who want to replace him in this Important events that completed the era.

You have to understand that after Azshara ruthlessly abandoned the night elves, these people of the Moon God needed a new leader.

What makes the elves more fortunate than other races is that other civilizations can only have the luxury of having one leader, but you can have two at the same time. "

"this"

Maiev's eyes widened, and she wanted to defend herself, but Blake reached out and interrupted her.

He said:

“This is the will of the moon god and the choice of fate.

I know you are not a public person, and Tyrande is a better leader than you, but you can protect your people from the shadows. "

"I'm not refusing, it's just that it's too sudden."

Young Maiev whispered:

"It's too exaggerated to be chosen by God. There are obviously so many better priests than me, and I'm not even a formal priest. What does the Moon God see in me?"

"You're beautiful, aren't you?"

The pirate grinned and said:

"Tylande is also one of a kind beauty. You two should be regarded as the two most outstanding-looking among the Moon Priests in this era."

"How can this be!"

The sudden change in Maiev's expression was very exciting. She opened her mouth wide in shock, showing disbelief. She said in a fierce tone:

"How could this be the reason! How could Ms. Elune be so superficial and only rely on appearance to choose the Chosen One? I don't believe it. This is too much."

"Well, the truth may not be as complicated as you think, my young Maiev."

Blake shrugged, glanced at the majestic Luna sculpture, pointed at his face, and whispered:

"Do you think I'm handsome? Is this face handsome enough?"

"Well"

This sudden question made young Maiev blush with embarrassment.

I thought in my heart that Mr. Black was obviously very powerful yet so immoral, how could he ask such a straightforward question to an elf lady.

But considering that this issue was probably related to the will of the moon god, Maiev tried to calm herself down.

She looked carefully at Lord Black's face in the floating light of the Moon Chamber.

The face is quite soft, without the lines of an elf face, but it has a very strange and carefree and lazy look of a prodigal, especially those outstanding eyes, which are as gentle as the sea and the mystery of the moonlight as they perfectly blend together, just like It's like a whirlpool that attracts the girls' attention.

But there always seemed to be an indelible sadness deep in those eyes. Every time she looked into those eyes, a soul-shaking feeling would emerge in Maiev's heart.

It made her seem to be sinking into it, unable to extricate herself.

Maiev quickly moved her eyes away and continued to observe other parts of Blake's face. His long golden hair was scattered on his shoulders, and he had a well-kept beard that gave him a sense of stability.

The lips that always show a smile fit perfectly with this face.

Overall, this is definitely not a face that makes people feel stressed or disgusted, but if you really want to compare it with the handsome guys among elves, this face is honestly not as good as it is.

Miss Marvel felt her heart pounding, and she felt like her face was burning with that strange feeling that would rise whenever she was near Mr. Black.

She hurriedly lowered her head, silently chanting Ms. Elune's name in her mind to calm herself down. Under the pirate's expectant gaze, the trainee priestess made a weak voice like a mosquito and said:

"Yeah, he's quite handsome, but I've never been very good at this, so just give me your conclusion."

"Alright alright."

The pirate got the answer he wanted and was very satisfied.

Probably because he was in a happy mood, the abyss in his shadow calmed down bit by bit. The moment it receded, the bright moonlight shone in from the window, shrouding Blake and Maiev like gentle Like silver star yarn flowing out.

In this quiet moonlight, Blake whispered:

"Our Moon Goddess is good at everything, but the pursuit of 'beauty' has become the stubbornness of the gods. She will not choose an ugly guy to be her divine choice.

Only beings with perfect appearance like you, me, and Tyrande can meet her vision. Of course, this is only the first step.

To the gods, the beauty of the soul is equally important as the beauty of the appearance. "

At this point, the pirate paused and whispered:

"Maev Shadowsong, you are a person who knows how to love and how to respond to love. You have a heart as beautiful as your appearance. This is probably why Ms. Elune chose you."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Maiev's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest.

She felt that the atmosphere in the Moon Chamber was getting more and more ambiguous. What was even worse was that she, who had always been stoic, did not resist this kind of ambiguity with Mr. Black.

She felt that she could not go on like this, so she changed the subject and said:

"You said last time that I could make a wish to you, right?"

"Well, I did say that."

Blake nodded and said:

"Every time you listen to a story, you can make a wish, but I feel that I am at a disadvantage, so I decided to add a restriction. You must do one thing for me every time, and I can fulfill your wish.

Don’t worry, I won’t let you violate the teachings of the Moon God. So, have you decided to make a wish? "

"Um."

Maiev nodded and said in a sincere tone:

"I am ready to hear the second part of your story. I hope that the innocent creatures in the empire can survive this disaster."

"Wow, what a terrible wish."

The pirate curled his lips, stood up, stretched out his hand to Miss Maiev in the moonlight, and said:

"But I can promise you to help those elves who escaped to survive this ancient war safely. In exchange, you have to accompany me tonight."

"??!"

"Shopping with me"

Blake made a deliberate joke.

He admired the panic-stricken Maiev in front of him like a deer bumping into each other, and said:

"Suramar is beautiful at night, isn't it? A lot happened the last time I was here, and that's the story I tell you tonight.

The story of the pirates Black and Suramar. "
