Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"boom"

The door of Shadowsong's ancestral home was pushed open, and Blake stuck his head out and looked at Maiev Shadowsong standing in front of him.

The pirate frowned, looking at the dirty ashes and burnt hair on Miss Shadowsong's face, as well as the black dusty footprints behind her.

He said:

"This is the Shadowsong family's mansion. I just cleaned it up. This young lady who looks like a little mud monkey, are you going to the wrong place?"

"I'll accept my fate!"

Maiev plucked up the courage to answer.

Blake raised his eyebrows, pretended to think about it, shook his head and said:

"No, I still refuse to let such a dirty God's Chosen step into my home. Maybe you should change your clothes and take a shower or something."

"How can I change my clothes if you don't let me in?"

Miss Maiev, who had been cheering herself up and making up her mind along the way, now had veins popping out on her forehead. She clenched her fists and said to Black who was blocking the road in front of her:

"And this is my home, okay?"

"is that so?"

Blake winked and said:

"But I have been living here for the past few days. This heroine who seems to have killed hundreds of demons in one breath and rolled in the lava, did you admit to the wrong family?

Let me tell you, my girlfriend who is staying here is very fierce. She will be back soon. You should leave quickly. I don’t want her to misunderstand.

You don’t even want her to carve a few words on your face, hey, it’s too bloody. "

"Who is your girlfriend!"

Miss Marvel blushed and said:

"I have given everything I have to Ms. Elune, Mr. Black, please don't talk nonsense."

"Huh? I mean a female friend with whom I have a good relationship. Where did you think of that?"

The pirate explained seriously. He raised his hand and tapped Maiev's nose gently.

A breeze surged up and wrapped around Maiev's feet, spinning upwards and blowing away the dust on her body. The warm breath of life turned into light rain and fell from the sky above Miss Shadowsong's head, washing her face clean.

But doing this made Maiev immediately become "wet", and the tattered robe on her body stuck to her skin.

Then, Maiev saw the smelly pirate in front of her looking at her with admiration.

The strange look in her eyes made her lower her head. After seeing that the robe that was almost clinging to her body was no longer able to cover her body, the young priest screamed, pushed Blake away and rushed into the room with a bang. The footsteps left behind a series of wet footprints.

"Hahaha"

The smelly pirate laughed happily. He looked around at the door, then slammed the door and walked into the hall. With a flick of his hand, a warm flame ignited in the fireplace.

Blake picked up the half bottle of wine on the table and moved back, causing the slightly old easy chair to shake.

Twenty minutes later, Miss Shadowsong, who had taken a shower and changed her clothes, walked out of the second floor with a cold face. She glared fiercely at Mr. Black, who was leaning against the fireplace and enjoying the warmth.

She felt that this guy had no merit except that he was like a god. He was an out-and-out bad guy.

"Did you arrange it?"

Maiev asked in a low voice as she walked down the stairs.

Blake said without looking back:

"While you led a group of priest girls to bravely rush into the demon battlefield, I was still watching the fight between demigods and demons on the great plains, and by the way, I arranged a few classic stories that would be passed down to future generations.

It’s true that I am a god.

But I can’t be in two places at the same time, right? That's too tiring. Do you think a lazy guy like me would do that?

Of course, I didn’t expect that Shandris Feathermoon was actually rescued from the ruins by you. I thought she had been following Tyrande from the beginning.

I swear, girl, I didn't arrange this. "

"Yeah?"

Maiev looked at Blake suspiciously. After a few seconds, she walked down the stairs and said:

"But I think this is too coincidental. Tyrande received Lady Elune's blessing in front of me and used that power to save the child, and I also made up my mind at some point between facing war and death.

Everything is exactly as you predicted. "

"Doesn't this mean that my prediction is accurate?"

The pirate immediately stared and said in a long voice:

"You should be shouting long live the prophet in black. How can you still doubt me?"

"Because I heard the story from your own mouth!"

Maiev said:

"The secret of prophecy is to let your destiny follow your will. This is what you told me personally. From this perspective, I think you have every reason to arrange such a 'trial'?"

"It's well-founded and convincing. If I hadn't known the inside story, I would have thought it was arranged by me."

Blake nodded seriously.

The next second, he said:

“But I told you the first night we met, when I told the story of Drake’s death and rebirth, I’m not here to change something, I’m here to find something.

Maiev, with or without me, you will eventually follow the path of the Moon Warden.

With or without me, Tyrande Windspeaker would have become High Priest of the Moon, with or without me, Shandris Feathermoon would have survived.

Even without me, Suramar will survive the demon attack, and so will Ravencrest. I didn't change your destiny, I just pushed it according to my ideas. "

Blake stood up, picked up the last glass of wine, and glanced at Maiev.

He said:

"Doubt is a good thing, it is an essential quality of a good hunter, but you must also learn to trust, especially when you are determined to become my chosen one.

I don't mind if my Chosen One thinks I'm a bad guy who can't be trusted. Anyway, I can give anyone a chosen one if they pay enough.

But you are different from them.

Please believe me, I didn't come here to make you hate me. "

Maiev was a little skeptical, but she finally nodded.

She decided to believe Blake's explanation. There was no reason, it was purely intuition. There was a strange voice in her heart telling him that the mysterious man in front of her would not lie to her.

The devil in her heart said that Mr. Black would definitely not make her angry if he lusted after her body, but the angel Maiev nodded vigorously and agreed, wouldn't it be better to lust after her body? If you don't get married, you will become an old girl.

The priestess shook her head violently to throw away the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and she let out a sigh of relief.

"I want to be the Watcher, the man you predicted."

Miss Maivey looked into Blake's eyes seriously and said:

"As a priest, Maiev can do things that other priests can do, but there are some things that only Maiev, the watcher, can do. If my 'awakening' can make this disaster end faster, then I I am willing to wear your moon veil."

"Uh-huh, be careful, miss, you are saying terrible things in a serious manner."

Blake raised his eyebrows and said:

"The relationship between the two of us hasn't gotten that close yet. It's too scary to put on a wedding dress or something."

"I obviously didn't mean that!"

Miss Maivey finally plucked up the courage again, but she was made embarrassed and angry by Black's bastard words. She felt that Mr. Black in front of her just wanted to see her embarrassed and take pleasure in it.

"I just don't want this process to be so serious, even if you think you're ready."

Blake stopped smiling, shook his head and said:

"The birth of the first Watcher was not in this era. Maiev, in the past history, you have always participated in the ancient war as a priest.

For a period of time when Tyrande was in trouble, you even served as the leader of the Sisters of Elune and the High Priest of the Moon. I have to say, you did a good job.

But I still think that if you can obtain this power in advance, it will not be a bad thing for you and the world. "

He took out a thick book from his bag.

There was a black crescent symbol on the cover of that thing. He stroked the Black Moon Scripture that he had copied from Watch Island ten thousand years later, and said with emotion:

“When I first saw this thing, I thought its blabbering narrative must have been compiled by a psychopath, but it wasn’t until then that I realized that I was that psychopath.

Well, it turned out to be the circle of destiny. I cursed myself for achieving another strange achievement.

Of course, you cannot use my name when publicizing to the outside world in the future. "

The pirate put the Black Moon Book into Maiev's hands, and he said seriously:

"From now on, this is your work."

"Um?"

Maiev opened the scripture in her hand in surprise. After reading a few pages, the real cleric nodded against his will and said:

"Actually, it's not as bad as you said. At least the grammar is very good, and the words and sentences are also very fluent."

"Nonsense, this is a modified version please Little Xingxing."

The pirate whispered:

"You didn't see her damn smile when she saw the original version. Thinking about it now, she's still angry."

"Little Star? Who is that?"

Miss Marvel said curiously:

"Is she your girlfriend?"

"No, he is my cowardly but smart blue dragon servant who knows how to make a fool of himself."

The pirate glanced at Maiev, pulled out a large box from his bag, put it at Maiev's feet with a bang, and said:

"Speaking of it, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I still miss her a little. Come, take a look at your armor. I specially ordered it before departure. I will host it for you at midnight tonight in the moon well of the Temple of the Moon. Black Moon Ceremony.

Remember to clear away other people then. Of course, it doesn’t matter if there are people watching, but they won’t be able to see me anyway. "

"Is there anything else to prepare?"

Maiev asked again.

Blake thought for a moment, shook his head and said:

"If someone else wants to become a Watcher, they will definitely have to undergo a long period of training to meet the standards of the power of the Black Moon, but that is when the professional system is not complete yet.

You're a special case, Maiev.

There is not much time left for you to slowly practice the skills of shadow combat. I will send them into your mind in an engraved way, and then adapt to it in actual combat. "

"Mr. Black, I've always wanted to ask, why are you so nice to me?"

Maiev squatted down holding the Black Moon Canon and opened the armor box at her feet. She gritted her teeth and finally asked the question. She said:

"Is it true that you are pursuing me as Jarod said? A god, pursuing an ordinary moon god! What kind of blasphemy is this?

Mr. Black! How could you show such a thing in front of an elf lady? "

"ah?"

The pirate looked at Maiev, whose expression changed drastically, in surprise, and said doubtfully:

"It's a standard-style Warden armor. It's specially made to fit your figure. I can't remember it wrong."

Before Blake could finish his words, he saw what was in the box.

His expression suddenly became dull, and Maiev beside him blushed and glared at him fiercely, turned around and rushed out of the room with the Black Moon Scripture in her arms.

What was placed in the box in front of Pirate Pirate was indeed a set of Watcher armor.

But unfortunately, it is not the kind of armor used in "traditional occasions". The hollow breastplate, ambiguous greaves, lace-decorated gauntlets, and the unseemly-looking belt and mask all make it difficult to see. The pirate's expression is as wonderful as a spinning kaleidoscope.

He gritted his teeth and squatted down, looking at the erotic armor in front of him that was made by Xalatath, and then reached out to pick up a piece of paper from under the mask.

There was nothing on it, except a big smiling face that was full of evil and mocking.

"Xal'atath."

The pirate held the note tightly in his fingers and said through gritted teeth:

"Let's see how I deal with you when I get back!"

The direction of things suddenly became awkward.

Fortunately, Mr. Black has always been a tolerant person. He put away the sexy armor, took a bottle of wine and began to drink away his sorrows. But while drinking, he suddenly realized that this might not be a bad thing.

He has been trying very hard to have a love affair with Maiev that will last forever.

But he doesn't seem to be the kind of guy who can talk about relationships patiently. The result of being a tauren and insisting on being pure in love is probably not going to be good.

Looking at the flames burning in the fireplace in front of him, Blake narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin, thinking in his mind.

perhaps

It's time for Maiev Shadowsong to meet the real Black Shaw.

After all, he is not here to lie, there is no need to pretend.

——

At midnight, in the backyard of Suramar's Moon Temple, in front of a moonwell reflecting the stars and moonlight, a drunken Blake fell from the sky and landed accurately and silently next to the moonwell.

He looked around, then waved his hand to create a wave of shadows that enveloped the surrounding area. Then he took out a pocket watch and placed it in the palm of his hand to watch the time second by second.

The stars and the moon interacted with each other in the starry sky above their heads. The bright moonlight was approaching its dimmer moment during the changing moon phases. If Maiev hadn't appeared yet, she would have missed tonight's dark moon phase.

A guy with such a tolerant mind as Blake felt a little anxious at this moment, but he patiently counted the seconds.

When the countdown was three minutes, the sound of hurried footsteps made Pirate Pirate suddenly turn around. He saw Maiev hurriedly walking towards him with his head lowered while holding the scripture.

The steps she walked on the gravel path were still full of lingering anger. It was obvious that Miss Maiev was still very dissatisfied with the stinky pirate's mistake today.

but.

She came anyway.

Hold it!

Can't laugh!

We are still a little far away from success, so don't be complacent, Lord Evil God.

Blake's mind was racing, and he hurriedly changed his expression and assumed a majestic posture. He opened his arms toward Maiev in front of the well water reflected in the moonlight.

The traveler's attire changed under Miss Maiev's surprised gaze, and was reshaped into the black owl armor in the dark night wind.

The thick black cloak was blown up and then fell down like wings folded together, covering Blake's body.

Of course, after becoming a god, low-key but luxurious wind-drawing special effects must be added, so there is a dark moon veil lingering behind the armor, just like the shadow of the moon.

After putting on this extremely religious style outfit, Miss Yingge was still dissatisfied, but she couldn't help but become serious in the aura exuded by Master Yueying.

"Maev Shadowsong, before you is a choice that is accompanied by loneliness and danger. When you set foot on this path, the warm and bright moonlight will no longer shine on you."

In order to avoid embarrassment, Blake didn't waste any words and said in a low tone:

“You will disappear from the world you know, you will abandon all glory in the light and join the darkness, you will become the hunter and protector of the shadows.

You will awaken the fear of sinners with the doctrine of punishment, correct the deviated order with cold killing, and guide the good thoughts of all living beings with silent judgment.

You will become the forgotten warden, you will become the stalker that no one praises, and you will become the sword of the dark moon that is feared by all living beings.

You will go one step further and become a symbol that hangs high above the evil of darkness.

In the name of Lady Elune and Lord Moony.

Maiev Shadowsong, I ask you:

Are you willing to give up the rules of the Moon Priest, hide under the moonlight, and embark on this black moon road full of hardships and thorns? "

"I"

Maiev took a deep breath and placed her hand on the Black Moon Scripture.

She once again saw her helpless figure sitting in the ruins. She saw her embarrassment and joy in rescuing Shandris from the ashes. She saw the remains that she couldn't let go of, the burning city. , that howling demon, that fearful people.

She lowered her head and said hoarsely:

"Guarding without strength is meaningless. This is my second wish, Mr. Black, I do it!"

"very good."

Blake raised a finger.

The moon in the sky accurately turned into the darkest moon phase at this moment. He said to Maiev:

"Then, take off your clothes and step into the moon well, and I will guide you through the Black Moon Ceremony."

Miss Maiev, who had already made up her mind, subconsciously held the collar of the priest's robe. She pursed her lips and whispered like a mosquito:

"Do I have to take off all my clothes?"

"Well, this is part of the ceremony."

Blake had a headache again, and he said vaguely:

"But you are in a special situation, so keep your underwear on."

Maiev breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to untie the priest's robe. Black turned around like a gentleman and stopped peeking. Lord Moon Shadow angrily yelled in his heart:

Why does this crazy editor's job transfer ceremony look so obscene? He looks like a hopeless person. According to the setting of Circle of Destiny, this seems to be his own design.

Well, that's okay.
