Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"It's a bit of a rollback this time."

The Pirate Pirate was sitting on the eaves of Lord Suramar's hall, watching Miss Tyrande cover her eyes and run out. Maiev was still chasing after her. Illidan was excited to jump down from the window on the second floor to explain, but was stopped by Malfury. Ao held on tightly, and there was a group of elite guards from Black Crow Castle beside him who seemed to be standing guard, but in fact they were watching the fun and flying up.

What a sad drama.

But Black could swear to Luna that he really didn't arrange this. Didn't you see that he showed his true feelings when he spoke to Brother Stormrage just now?

Although he did sense the auras of Tyrande and Maiev in advance.

But Lord Evil God didn't expect that this young Ms. Tyrande would be so reckless, facing the bloody life so bravely without saying a word?

Come to think of it.

Two friends who grew up together actually like her, and what kind of hell of a gentleman's agreement have they made? Two grown men don't want to break up the brotherhood and put all the pressure on themselves. What young girl can bear this?

"Quack"

The little murloc stood on the dome next to Black, grabbing the delicate flagpole while making murloc jeers at the pirates, but Black didn't bother to pay attention to it.

The stupid little fish man just wants to watch the fun. He has seen enough for today, but he has to do some serious business.

"Let's go and see if Jarod's contact with the dragons goes smoothly."

The pirate drank half a bottle of wine, picked up the little murloc and said:

"I also want to take a closer look at Neltharion's current situation. I'm also very interested in the details of how he fell in this era. Maybe it can become the next sample for in-depth research on the power of the void.

To be honest, I have always been curious about how the ancient gods corrupted the Black Dragon King when it had the authority of the Titans. This is a high-end research project. "

The little fish man barked twice unhappily.

It doesn't want to do any experiments, it just wants to watch the fun, and if possible, take a few more photos to make history, and then take them back to brag to its fish-man pirates.

But Blake wouldn't let it run around. With how miserable Brother Egg was, it was better not to let this little idiot add insult to injury. In the end, the blame would still be thrown on him.

Black ran to eavesdrop on the contact between Jarod and the dragon representatives. He knew that the person who stayed in Suramar on behalf of the dragon army was the red dragon prince Krasus, who was supposed to have traveled to 10,000 years ago to save the world. , but its job was defeated by Black, so there is only one native red dragon in this time and space.

But the alliance between the Elf Resistance Army and the giant dragons is a big deal. This is the first time that the dragons in the guardian system have cooperated so deeply with mortal civilization, and the Dragon King must give their approval.

Tomorrow at the latest, the five dragon kings will definitely gather in Suramar.

Therefore, in addition to observing the "unlucky dragon specimen" Neltharion and recording the journey of the Black Dragon King's degeneration into Deathwing, the pirates had to prepare for a meeting.

A meeting with Nozdormu, the Bronze Dragon King.

He believed that the Lord of Time would not give up this opportunity, and now that he had ascended to the realm of gods, he would go back and tell Maiev his past stories in the past few days. When he was bragging in the first person, he would disdain the pirates. I also discovered some details that I had not noticed before.

In the time between his rebirth in Azeroth and the timeline of the Bronze Dragon's withdrawal, his actions seemed to go too smoothly.

The Bronze Dragon Legion that was supposed to capture the time stowaways made a huge mistake. From the beginning to the end, only Sephiel, the young dragon, ran out to be the unlucky one.

After reviewing the history of their own fortune, the pirates had to suspect that there might be some deep-seated "fishiness" involved.

This meeting with Nozdormu may solve the mystery in Black's heart.

However, although the stinky pirate is gone, the aftermath of the emotional drama he caused is still unfolding.

When the priests in the Moon Temple were about to take a rest that afternoon, Brother Stormrage was already waiting outside the Moon Temple.

Poor Brother Dan was still on crutches, and Malfurion, who also looked haggard, stood by his side. The two brothers just looked at the ancient temple in front of them with longing eyes.

They still remembered that they and Tyrande liked to come here to play when they were children. The priestess in the temple was very polite to them. Tyrande was also exposed to the teachings of the Moon God at that time.

At that time, the three little brats made a promise to become the high priests of Lady Elune. Of course, later on, Brother Stormrage found out that the Sisters of Elune still did not accept male high priests in this era, so that was another story.

In short, things have really changed now.

But the two innocent and unlucky people waited for more than an hour but did not see Tyrande come out. Finally, a short young priest came. The girl's eyes were shining with gossip, but she said to Brother Stormrage with a straight face. :

"Tyrande asked me to tell you two that she is sorry for being angry with you today, and that she would be happy to see the differences between you brothers healed.

Although the method was different from what she imagined.

In short, Tyrande said that she needed to calm down for a while and that people should not come to her in the past few days. "

These words made Brother Stormrage look sad. They knew that they had hurt their best friend, but the short girl in front of them, who had just become an official priest, lowered her voice and said after passing the words:

“Hey, you two have to work harder!

Tyrande is the beauty of our Suramar Moon Temple. Recently, several upper elf nobles came to the Moon Temple to pray, hoping to stay with Tyrande for a while longer.

We all agree that rather than letting those arrogant nobles take advantage of the situation, it would be better for one of you to become Tyrande's partner. At least everyone will know that you two are war heroes. "

"Well"

Malfurion was embarrassed. He glanced at his sad brother, twitched his mouth, and whispered to the gossip priest in front of him:

"Okay, thank you for your blessings, we will work hard."

"Come on!"

The short girl also waved her fist, with an amused expression on her face.

But then he coughed, displayed the majesty of a formal priest, waved them away, and then winked and whispered to Brother Stormrage:

"Come here after you have figured it out. We will leave the door open for you quietly. Don't come here during the day. Do it at night when there are fewer people. You two guys really don't understand the thoughts of girls."

"Let's go, brother."

Illidan watched the young priest return to the temple. He glanced at the Moon Temple at dusk and said to Malfurion:

"We both need to calm down. Are you going back to Val'sharah tonight?"

"Well, the mentor called me back. The demigods were also injured in the previous battle. They are all recuperating in Val'sharah. The demigods must have reached a conclusion after discussion. I may become their spokesperson in the elven society. "

Malfurion helped his brother leave and said softly:

“I’ll leave as soon as I send you back, but I’ll be back in two days at most.

Have a good rest here and don't work too hard anymore. You know, when you were teleported back by the mysterious mage, I was almost scared to death when I saw you unconscious. "

Having said this, Malfurion hesitated, glanced at Illidan's expression, and whispered:

"Almost all the Moon Guards brought by High Lord Ravencrest were killed in the battle, and the remaining ones have been sent back to Black Crow Castle to recuperate. Do you want to continue to serve the High Lord?

I mean, you could probably break away from the Moon Guard and become an official mage. When you were in a coma, Ms. Blue Moon came to me and said that she could personally teach you magic if you wanted.

She also said that the forbidden magic of the Moon Guard has a great impact on the soul and mind, but you have used that forbidden magic many times."

"I know, Malfurion, you don't have to say it anymore."

Illidan didn't want to discuss the topic.

He could always think of the faces of those brave mages who died because of him and the encouragement they gave him when they left. This made him very stressed.

After a few seconds of silence, Brother Dan glanced at the dusk sky, and he made up his mind and said:

"I want to break away from the Moon Guard sequence. I am already learning the inheritance of another power. That knowledge is very important for us to defeat the devil.

The Forbidden Technique of the Moon Guard.

I won't use it anymore, don't worry, brother, I will work hard to become stronger, so strong that I no longer need to sacrifice others in order to win, that feeling.

Too bad.

And the devil

When facing demons, sacrifice alone is not enough, Malfurion. "

Brother Dan moved his bandaged fingers and said in an extremely firm tone:

"We must be smarter, we must fight in a smarter way. Until now, we don't even have complete basic information about the Burning Legion. This is so inappropriate."

"Illidan, what do you want to do?"

Malfurion sensed from his brother's firm words that he might be about to make some big news. He said with a serious face:

"You can't be impulsive. You must discuss it with me before doing anything. Have you forgotten the agreement we made before? Whether you want to prove yourself or show your determination to Tyrande, you can't take such risks again!

I only have one brother, you. "

"Don't worry, brother."

Illidan touched his unique amber eyes, showed a smile, and said while leaning on a crutch:

"I've grown up and I don't need to prove myself to anyone anymore."

He walked between life and death and somehow became a respected war hero. He also accidentally revealed his love for Tyrande.

Those sacrifices, those killings, those heavy things made the arrogant young elf seem to be transcended. In the past, he always wanted to do great things to prove his God-given talent, but now he just wants to end this disaster.

Whoever it is, just end it.

A few hours later, at midnight, when Black returned to Shadowsong's ancestral home and took the fully armed Warden Maiev to start tonight's hunting teaching, Illidan Stormrage also changed his clothes and limped. He left Suramar City in a low-key manner. He told the Black Crow Guard who held the protective shield that he was going to the battlefield to honor his comrades.

No one could stop this brave war hero, and Illidan declined the escort of the guards.

He took one last look back at the city of Suramar, which was shrouded in a great barrier, and disappeared into the cold night alone in the night wind.

Illidan is indeed here to honor his comrades.

But this was only the first step of his action tonight. In the ruins of the great temple, those bricks and stones that had been burned by evil fire and still had a lot of evil energy left were kicked away by Brother Dan.

He looked around to make sure no one was nearby, and then took out a large bag of spellcasting materials prepared in advance from his luggage, where he would complete the ritual of summoning demons.

During this time, Lord Black, the evil god, has been teaching Illidan the knowledge of warlock demonology through "dream teaching" during his rest. Those dark and forbidden knowledge opened a new door for Illidan.

He is keenly aware of the huge improvement that this knowledge can bring to the resistance. Firstly, it can determine the habits and characteristics of various demons, giving the hunters more preparations in exchange for the possibility of survival. Secondly, warlocks can directly Summon demons from the Twisting Nether to gain first-hand knowledge of the mobilization of demonic legions outside the world.

This kind of enemy intelligence is what the current rebels lack most.

Illidan is a soldier. He knows that if you want to win, you can't fight a powerful enemy blindfolded. He has to try and give results to persuade the top brass of the resistance to accept his idea.

It's risky.

Illidan knew this very well. If his actions were discovered, he would instantly fall from a war hero to a traitor who colluded with the Burning Legion. However, Illidan believed that Lord Ravencrest was an enlightened leader. When he saw himself After achieving great results, I will definitely adopt this suggestion.

As he said, after exchanging the lives of his colleagues for a meager victory, he had had enough of this disaster. He didn't care about his reputation and just wanted to end the war as soon as possible.

Of course, the personal affairs that happened today also stimulated Illidan to a certain extent. He was originally an impulsive person, and he decided to take a risk out of irritation.

"The disgusting Black has taught me all about it."

Illidan was setting up a demon summoning circle in the cold and collapsing ruins, while repeatedly confirming the process of summoning demons in his mind. Although he was impulsive, his talent in spellcasting was really frightening, and a demon summoning ritual would not be a problem for him.

"Since we want to obtain information, we need to summon a cunning high-level demon. Don't sign the contract first to prevent me from being contaminated with evil energy and it will be difficult to explain when I return. Use a suppression circle to trap it and ask for enough important information."

Brother Dan modified the runes of the ritual and took out a magic seal from his arms. This was also made under Blake's guidance and could be used to suppress the devil's mind.

He made up his mind, and after getting everything ready, he took a deep breath and began to mobilize magic power to infuse the summoning ceremony in front of him.

Everything went well, and the several soul stones placed as sacrifices also trembled in the magic circle, which meant that demons in the twisted void had responded to their call.

The next step is to use yourself as the coordinate to "pull" the summoned demon on the other side to the material world.

Illidan followed the knowledge imparted by Blake and exposed his will to the rotating magic circle. He felt the scorching power from the twisted void.

It is the violent power from the realm of evil energy, and it is a source of power that every warlock must be exposed to and familiar with.

If Brother Egg plans to continue on the evil path of a warlock, he is destined to use this kind of energy that is more violent but more destructive than arcane magic in the future.

He felt that he had come into contact with the cunning mind on the other side, and now, there was only one last step left.

"boom"

A loud noise on the spiritual level exploded in Illidan's mind.

Just when he was about to complete the final contact with the demon who responded to the summons, an unimaginable power suddenly intervened in the ritual.

That will bound Illidan's mind in the Twisting Void in a gesture that swept across all things. It "pulled" Illidan's soul completely out of his body using completely unscientific and magical means, catching the young man off guard. The entire elf was pulled back into its domain.

But such a powerful force did not harm Illidan's weak soul during the whole process, which is really amazing.

Illidan raised his head as a spirit body while being dizzy, and what he saw was a ball of scorching flames burning like the sun among the dark stars, and there was a vague figure in the flames.

He could only see a pair of eyes filled with violence and indifference, and that aura made Illidan despair in an instant.

"An elf who actively summons demons is interesting. I smell your ambition, little elf, do you want to join my legion?"

At the same time, Blake, who was teaching Maiev how to dissect the Doom Guards to capture their evil souls, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the Grand Temple.

He patted Maiev on the shoulder and said:

"Tonight's hunting instruction ends here. Now you can move freely and don't run around here. It will be a surprise to wait for me to come back. I have to go to the appointment in advance."
