Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Don't be nervous, young elf."

In the forest sanctuary of Val'sharah, Cenarius, the tall and holy nature demigod, shook his antlers and said to the nervous Shadowsong brother in front of him:

"This natural teleportation is very safe. It will send you directly to the green dragon's temple, and my breath will protect you from being accepted by the dragon. But how to persuade them to join the war depends on your eloquence.

You must understand that the dragons also have their own views on the world, and they have always had no good impressions of the elven empire that abuses magic. "

"This is a mortal going to meet the dragon. How could I not be nervous?"

Jarod complained softly.

He never thought that his life could be turned around to such an exciting level in just a few days. The demigods of the wilderness were already legendary creatures, and now he had to shoulder the responsibility and go to ask for help from the more mysterious dragons. assistance.

This was beyond the limits of young Shadowsong's poor imagination.

But now that the situation was critical, Jarod was not allowed to do too much mental construction. While Cenarius was casting the spell, Jarod tried to calm down.

At this moment, the haunting voice sounded in his ears again:

“After you go there, don’t waste time and go directly to Ysera the Awakened. She is Cenarius’ adoptive mother. Use this relationship to bring you closer to her, and then ask her to take you to see the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza.

That Dragon King is the monarch who values ​​life and peace the most, and is also the Dragon King you can best convince.

Remember, if the dragon kings hold a meeting to discuss whether to aid mortals, you must tell the blue dragon king your relationship with Azshara. Remember, this is very important.

Make it clear to Malygos that those who abuse magic are the hopeless high-borne elves. The night elves who believe in the moon god are innocent, and promise him that after the demon disaster is over, the night elves will get rid of the corrupt rule of the high-borne. And establish a theocratic kingdom that is not tainted with magic.

If the Bronze Dragon King Nozdormu asks you about me, don't hide it, tell him directly that this is what I mean, and invite him to meet in Suramar City on my behalf.

He will be on your side.

at last.

The most important thing is not to have too much contact with the Black Dragon King.

It's best not to say a word to him. If he invites you to his lair, just decline with the excuse that the war is urgent.

Don't worry, the dragon is not as difficult to deal with as you think. "

Blake whispered in Jarod's ear:

"Even if you don't come forward, the dragons will still join the war against the demons. This is the guardian mission given to them by the Titans. They must maintain the security and order of the world.

So your arrival is more to give the dragons a legitimate reason to intervene in the war in advance. Be more sincere, and "properly" exaggerate the demons' methods of annihilation and the arrival of the God of Darkness that I told you, and then Remember to flatter those arrogant giant lizards with your elven rhetoric.

They are a very boring species, because they live a long life and don't have much entertainment on weekdays. Apart from sleeping, they like to listen to mortals brag about them in various ways. "

"You seem to be very familiar with dragons, you are also very familiar with demons, and you are very familiar with demigods. Is there anything in this world that you don't understand?"

After receiving precise reminders and warnings, Jarod instantly had a plan in his mind. This made the worried heart of the young Shadow Song brother calm down a little, and he asked curiously in his heart.

But Blake couldn't be bothered to answer this stupid question.

He used his thoughts of truth to throw a psychic shield to Jarod, and then allowed Cenarius's natural magic to take effect and send Jarod into the territory of the Green Dragon Legion.

Throughout the entire process, the King of the Forest, Cenarius, was completely unaware of Black's intervention.

This demigod who spread the ways of the Druid to the elves is obviously a powerful being close to the elves, and he is ready to join the war against the demons.

And his most favored disciple, Malfurion Stormrage, had already left the Natural Sanctuary with his brother Illidan, and under his guidance went to the direction of Mount Hyjal to gather the demigods.

However, the Stormrage Brothers' journey through the Val'sharah Forest at night soon ended, because Illidan noticed Black's deliberate aura at a riverside woodland in front of the forest.

"follow me!"

Brother Dan hesitated for a moment, then signaled to his brother who was riding a big horned deer, and then led the confused Malfurion deep into the jungle.

The druid did not ask his brother why he changed his route. He trusted Illidan.

The two walked through the very quiet forest at night, and easily found Blake's trace on the river bank. The Silent One did not even think about hiding it.

He is now sitting barefoot on the edge of the fast-flowing river, holding an exquisite Draenei gemstone fishing rod in his hand and fishing comfortably. There are many messy things in the fish basket next to him.

Obviously this was just a gesture.

After all, anglers can catch everything except fish.

The most peculiar thing is that there is no moon tonight and the weather is gloomy, but there is still a dim moonlight surrounding Blake, giving the black prophet a very mysterious aura.

"Who is that?"

Malfurion jumped off the antlered deer and cautiously asked his brother. Illidan replied in a low voice:

"A mysterious man, I don't know his origin, but he helped me, and he also taught me the knowledge and weaknesses of demons. This is a being who is not weaker than Cenarius, Malfurion, but his behavior Style is much more dangerous than Cenarius.

We need to be more cautious. "

"What are you two brothers whispering over there? How rude! If you meet a big shot here, shouldn't you two come forward and kneel down to show your respect?"

Lord Black Crumble snorted, picked up his smoking pipe, and pulled his hood down.

He pointed to his side in an arrogant tone and said:

"Come here, I don't have much time. I have to go back after I finish this for you. There is a woman I like who is still waiting for me to go on an appointment. I don't want to miss my good time tonight because of two stinky men. "

After saying that, the pirate glanced at the alert Illidan again. He snorted, casually took out a stack of magic test papers on demonology and threw it over, landing accurately at Illidan's feet.

explain:

"I've taught you a lot in the past few days. I'll give you some time to finish it. If your score is lower than 90, it means you haven't studied hard at all. Of course, you can choose not to do it."

Black showed a sinister expression under his hood and said:

“I care more about practice than test results.

I'll throw you into a demonic world where you'll team up with a bunch of terrified Breaker wimps to kill 30,000 dazed demonic lunatics.

I'm a very tolerant person, so it's your choice. "

Illidan hesitated.

According to his aloof character, he should fly up and kick the test papers under his feet all over the sky, and then accept Black's evil request and enter the demon world to kill everyone.

But after carefully comparing his current strength, Brother Dan calmly picked up the test paper on the ground.

He had to drain the magic power of several moon guards to kill a hellfire in the Moon Protector Fortress, and now he was left to destroy tens of thousands of demons alone. Well, this was still a slight disadvantage.

Brother Dan is just arrogant but not stupid, nor does he want to commit suicide.

When encountering someone who couldn't beat him but helped him, it was not shameful to bow his head strategically. After all, the mysterious man in front of him had indeed taught him a lot of useful things in the past few days.

But seeing Illidan so submissive made Malfurion next to him widen his eyes.

No one knows his stubborn brother better than him.

When Illidan was still an apprentice, he dared to contradict the demigod Cenarius. When he was a child, he even looked down upon the arrogant upper elf nobles.

He has been a naughty kid who has had his own way since he was a child, but actually someone could control him so obediently. This made Malfurion immediately become very interested in this mysterious man in front of him.

He could also feel the will of the surrounding forest surrounding the mysterious existence under the moonlight, and the breath of nature surrounded Blake singing with joy. This kind of active natural will was rarely seen even in Lord Cenarius.

This made Malfurion feel that the mysterious man in front of him should be a great being who followed the way of nature, which gave the druid a sense of closeness as a "fellow-minded person".

While Illidan began to immerse himself in writing the paper, Malfurion carefully adjusted his forest robe and took a few steps forward to bow to Black.

He said:

"Thank you for your help and teaching to my brother, great being. Is there anything you need us to do for you while you are waiting for us here?"

Faced with Malfurion's humble inquiry, Black did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked up and down at Malfurion with a strange look.

After a while, the pirate said in a strange tone:

"No wonder she chose you. You were really handsome before you grew horns and wings, and you had a calm and reassuring temperament that your bratty brother didn't have.

My dear Brother Dan doesn’t regret losing. "

"ah?"

Malfurion couldn't understand the words of the great being in front of him at all, but Black didn't care either. He put away his empty fishing rod, glanced at the future Archdruid, and said:

"You're going to find the Wild Demigods, right? To Mount Hyjal?"

"right."

Malfurion nodded, and Black nodded too. He appeared next to Malfurion with a whoosh, and as if by magic, he took out a large bag of bits and pieces from his hand and stuffed it into Brother Stormrage's hand. inside.

He patted his shoulder again and said:

"Don't say that I don't take care of you two brothers. I have given you all the 'tokens' that can connect the demigods with my own hands, and there is no need to go to Mount Hyjal to blow the cold wind.

I just ask you, Malfurion, are you ready to talk to the demigods and convince them to participate in saving the world? "

"This kind of thing"

Malfurion, who was still very young and had never experienced the dangers of the world, looked at the strange bag of things in his hand. He shook his head and said honestly:

“How can you prepare for something like this in advance?

As a druid, this is the first time for me to look for other great demigods. I know that they are all incarnations of the will of nature and the power of life, and they will definitely be willing to fight for the survival of nature.

But to be honest, I'm not confident that I can convince them immediately.

The King of the Forest told me that the personalities of demigods are not uniform, and some demigods have very strange behavior styles, but I am already prepared for this. "

"Very good, what you need is this firm will and indomitable spirit. I'm really optimistic about you."

Pirate Pirates gave young Malfurion some hypocritical encouragement. He looked around at the forest under the night sky and whispered:

"But I think you should spend some time thinking about how to persuade a group of angry demigods to help you two save your beloved girl. You may not have enough time, but I believe this will not be difficult for you and your brother."

"etc!"

Malfurion immediately noticed the strangeness in the pirate's words and said:

"Why a bunch of angry demigods?"

"Well, I can't tell you this. Anyway, say hello to my friends who haven't established friendships yet, my dear 'thief servant' Lord Malfurion."

The pirate let out a weird laugh, took a step back, and under Malfurion's gaze, he pulled out a weird wolf-headed war spear and inserted it into the ground with a bang. Then, under the stunned gaze of Brother Stormrage, it roared like a wild beast.

The beastly aura belonging to Black soared into the sky in an instant, turning into a blood-red stream of light shining in the jungle of Val'sharah. At this moment, the Stormrage brothers felt that the mysterious man in front of them seemed to be transforming into a beast and making crazy provocations. All around.

But in the next second, Black disappeared from the sight of the Stormrage brothers. When the bastard disappeared in the dark moon, he specifically stretched out his hand to wave to the two brothers.

A friendly farewell.

Just a feeling of impending disaster enveloped Brother Stormrage in the next moment.

Malfurion's hands shook, and the bundle that Black had thrust into his hand fell to the ground. After the bundle was loosened, something strange was revealed inside.

Feathers with the power of the storm, wolf fang amulets naturally transformed from animal nature, rough boar tooth daggers, beautiful bear tooth badges, black panthers' flowing manes and several forest short staffs with strange powers.

Although the things were very complicated and did not have a unified style, Malfurion immediately recognized that these garbage-like piles of things had a shocking aura.

These are the beloved objects of the wilderness demigods!

"Ouch"

A low and desolate wolf howl suddenly sounded in the jungle of Val'sharah, and the gloomy murderous intent made the Stormrage brothers, who were looking at each other, at a loss.

Then a night storm echoed in the sky, completely blocking the two brothers' escape route.

And in the gloomy shadow, a cold and faint light jumped back and forth in the shadow of the trees, and finally turned into a beautiful, elegant and deadly black panther lying on the branch above the two shivering brothers.

Amid the tremors of the earth and mountains, a huge wild boar rushed out from the dreamland and rushed through the forest towards the river bank with the momentum of a pig.

Under Malfurion's desperate gaze, a snow-colored giant bear looked at them with indifferent eyes, and slowly crossed the dream gate and stepped across the river. Behind this northern giant bear where the stars gathered, there was another giant bear with a huge body. A werebear demigod with iron claws.

Well, in the blink of an eye, the Stormrage Brothers accomplished their mission.

Black was right. They didn't need to go all the way to Mount Hyjal to catch the cold wind. The wilderness demigods they were looking for would take the initiative to appear in front of the two brothers.

But the problem is that the Pirates' prediction was too correct.

When these demigods appeared, they all had a low-pitched anger that made people panic. They stared at the "thief" in front of them, and then saw the treasures stolen from their lairs at Malfurion's feet.

ha!

Now everyone has gained the stolen goods.

"Shameful thief! Dirty dirty hands! Dirty elf!"

Avina, the Mother of Birds, who descended from the sky with flapping wings, stared indifferently at Brother Stormrage who was helpless on the river bank. She scolded:

"Where are my other feathers? Hand them over! Or suffer the wrath of the storm!"

"You demigods."

Malfurion Stormrage was stunned.

Even if he will become the "World Virtue" who saves the world in the future, this does not prevent him from being just a fledgling young Druid now.

Where has he seen such a posture before?

Surrounded by the angry demigods, he only had time to protect his younger brother who had drawn out his staff and was about to fight to the death, and said in a difficult tone:

"I can explain! Please listen to me."

He must explain the origin of these "stolen items" before the demigods launch an attack and tear them apart. This is definitely the most exciting and crazy thing that Malfurion Stormrage has encountered in his ordinary life so far.

Well, that's if he and his brother had a life to live after tonight.
