Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The farewell to Shaohao was a bit uneventful.

This is normal. Hot-blooded men who advocate chivalry have always regarded the chic farewell as the creed of life. The chic index of a mighty pirate like Black must be at least five stars.

In short, after giving a few bottles of the wine in his luggage to the Pandaren Emperor, who was determined to embark on the battlefield, Black prepared to head to Zin-Azshari City.

Of course, before that, he still had to finish reviewing the magic test paper that Dean Lan Yue had just completed.

It has to be said that a genius is a genius. In just over half a month, Dean Lan Yue easily kept up with Pirate Pirate's course schedule, and was even able to ask some tricky questions by drawing inferences from one instance.

And it was only at this time that the mighty evil god realized that it was not unreasonable for the dean to call himself an unlearned warlock ten thousand years later.

She was so powerful ten thousand years ago. No wonder she can defeat the spellcasting masters of later generations with her profound knowledge ten thousand years later.

"You're almost emptying me."

In the dean's tent, the pirate reluctantly handed a 100-point test paper to dean Lan Yue, who had a relaxed expression. He complained softly:

"If this continues, the stuff in my mind won't be able to satisfy your immense thirst for knowledge. Fortunately, I still have a lot of forbidden knowledge spread from the Sunless Sea, otherwise I wouldn't have the guts to teach it to you. Knowledge."

"I taught you all your arcane knowledge, Black."

Dean Lanyue said slowly while arranging the pen and paper at hand:

“I taught you this knowledge first, and then you came across time and space and returned it to me, so theoretically, it’s me who is teaching myself.

What I'm saying is, don't flatter yourself, my disciple.

You are not the producer of knowledge, you are just the courier of knowledge.

I guess I will give you the title of ‘uneducated and unskilled’ in the future? "

"boom"

Blake expressionlessly took out a stack of test papers from his bag that could be thrown to kill a succubus and placed them in front of the dean. Under the astonished gaze of dean Lanyue, he said:

"Master Dean, your attitude just now made me very unhappy, so I decided to give you more 'make-up lessons'. Anyway, you have to stay in the forest to hide and prepare for the past few days.

You are the nominal commander and do not have to participate in military decision-making, so finishing these papers before you attack Zin-Azshari. In terms of your ability, it should be fine, right? "

"So, is this revenge?"

Dean Lan Yue curled her lips, rolled her cute eyes and pushed up her glasses, she said:

"You know that if you retaliate against me now, it means that I will retaliate against you in the same way ten thousand years from now, right? So in theory, if you want to make your life easier in ten thousand years, the best thing to do is The solution is

Please me. "

She pointed to the test paper in front of her, looked at Blake again, and asked softly:

"Do you think this is a way to please me?"

"You like knowledge, don't you?"

Blake said in a long voice:

"It would be an insult if I gave you a big diamond ring. My dear dean, I know you better than you do. This is what you like, so stop pretending."

"well"

Dean Lan Yue sighed, picked up a test paper and put it in front of her eyes to admire it. After a few seconds, she said:

"Well, this is indeed what I like. The feeling of constantly acquiring new knowledge is so happy that I can't stop. I haven't felt like this for a long time.

My disciple, you really understand me very well.

But as a mentor, being so understood by my disciples shows that I am really an unqualified educator. Speaking of which, you have never told me what kind of trouble I will encounter in 10,000 years and need you to time travel. Time and space to reverse? "

Lan Yue looked at Blake and said:

"I feel like you told my mentor about my problem. What the mentor said when he left was really strange. Now that you're leaving, aren't you going to tell me?"

"Well, let's not talk about it."

Lord Evil God scratched his head and said:

"In order for our teacher-student relationship to develop more healthily, these things should be left to your own experience. As for what, I am going to Xin Aisali to prepare for the meeting with the Queen, so you can continue to work on your papers.

I won't interrupt you to enjoy this simple and fulfilling happiness.

See you on the battlefield. "

After saying that, Pirate Pirates slipped out with a whoosh. Dean Lan Yue looked at his running back, shook his head, picked up his pen and started to write the test paper.

But I can't calm down today. Every time I think about it, my hair is running out of nowhere, my heartbeat is a little fast, and my cheeks are a little hot.

Don't you have a fever?

This experience is really bad.

Ms. Lanyue thought so, waved her hand and slapped a small ball of ice shards on her face to "force herself to calm down", then took a deep breath and continued to paddle in the ocean of knowledge.

On the other side, in the light of near dusk, Blake, Maiev, and the sisters of the Black Moon Priests who followed the first watcher quickly infiltrated into the city of Zin-Azshari, which had been completely occupied by demons.

Wrapped in the shadow of Master Yueying, these big sisters and little girls move quickly and stealthily.

Led by eldest sister Dejana who was born in Zin-Azshari City, they crossed the city wall of the capital without any danger and entered the city that was already ruled by demons.

Nearly twenty days have passed since the abominable Zin-Azshari Massacre, but large areas of filthy blood stains still remain in the streets and corners of the city.

These bloodstains, which represent disaster and pain, are like the stains on the city that have been corrupted to the bone, representing a kind of hopeless madness and depravity.

Blake didn't even need to turn on his spiritual vision to sense that the city was full of weak spiritual bodies that had been eaten by demons.

They were crying and screaming, making the place so gloomy that it looked like ghosts on earth.

The watchmen who followed him walked silently through the streets and alleys. Although there were roars and noises from the demon bastards everywhere, the city seemed extremely silent to them.

This is a city of death.

Save for Azshara and her band of loyal Highborne subjects, there is no one left alive in the city.

"Turn off your vision, for the sake of your mental health."

When entering an edge area with fewer demon branches, Pirate Pirates paused to rest, and said to the big sisters and girls behind him:

"I can feel your boiling anger and desire for revenge without having to sense it, but the Watcher should remain calm at all times. That is the virtue of the Darkmoon Hunter.

You have one hour to get back to your best.

Before I come back, I want to see a group of calm stalkers, not a bunch of berserkers looking to unleash their fury. "

"As you command, Your Majesty Yueying Mian."

The eldest sisters accepted the order, and the pirate made a signal to Maiev. The two left this temporary hiding place, speeding on the eaves of the gloomy city like parkour, approaching the upper elf city.

To be honest, it is indeed a deep honor to see Zin Azshara in its prime in this era. The city under the night is much more majestic than the withered ruins on the coast of Azshara.

This place is like an enhanced version of Suramar. The city is larger and the facilities are more luxurious. Just a large walkway that separates the upper city from the civilian area is made of pure marble. The glowing trees on the road and the surrounding heights are scattered. The spiers and domes add a lot of gorgeous ceremonial feel to the place.

The elves are indeed a group of guys with great artistic talents.

Don't worry about whether it's practical or not, just say whether it's handsome or not, right?

The entire city is built around the Well of Eternity, with towering mountains on the other side of the semi-arc city.

There is also a town-sized palace on the slopes of that high mountain. It is the Queen's favorite viewing platform. When the weather is good, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Hyjal and the Great Plains of Suramar.

Unfortunately, it has now become the lair of the Dread Demons and Doom Guards. Large swathes of magic bats flapped their wings and walked through the evening night. The fountain platform that was once used for public gatherings has also become the camp of the Demon Guards. Beautiful flowers and plants The large garden consists of demon hounds chasing and biting.

The gorgeous city was ruined like this, and the end of civilization probably felt so desolate.

The Highborne abandoned everything they had built for a sad dark fantasy and placed their future on a cold-blooded star god.

Perhaps Azshara's people went mad before she went mad.

"To build such a big city in 10,000 years will require at least ten years of taxes from the seven human kingdoms. Her Majesty the Queen is really extravagant and generous. If it were me, I would not be so generous and let the demons in my city. It’s building a nest in it.”

Standing on a tower whose top was burned by flames, Black said something distressed. Behind him, Miss Maiev silently looked in the direction of Zin-Azshari's Moon Temple.

The largest and most ceremonial temple in the Elven Empire was the most severely damaged building in the city.

The demons almost razed the place to the ground in a gesture of venting their anger. According to the people who escaped, when the massacre occurred, the temple was far away from many innocent people, who bravely fought against the invaders under the watchful eyes of the Moon Goddess sculpture. .

"Elune has not given up on this country yet."

Maiev whispered:

"We're also not giving up that maybe we can rebuild it."

"Think too much, little sister."

The pirate grinned and said:

"From now on, you will live on the trees, pick fruits and eat them. Take one last look at this city. There will never be such a magnificent city in this world again."

"I admit that what you say makes sense, my god."

Miss Marvel slapped Black's hand away and said:

"But can you restrain your overly strong desire for pleasure when you speak? We are at war. Can you be serious?"

"Oh, boring."

The pirate curled his lips and said:

"You are as boring now as you were ten thousand years ago. As a clergyman, you are not even willing to take risks for the gods. Sure enough, a god as powerful as me cannot expect to get some normal believers."

"I have never seen any god use tentacles when believers are dedicating themselves to him. This is beyond my poor imagination, Lord Moon Shadow."

Maiev's voice was full of dissatisfaction.

There is certainly a reason for this.

The guilty Lord Evil God laughed twice and hurriedly changed the subject and said:

"I have found Dath'Remar Sunstrider's mansion. Let's go there now."

"Huh? Won't you save Tyrande?"

Maiev asked in surprise, Blake shook his head and said:

"The beloved Miss Tyrande has people to save her, so we don't have to intervene. Of course, I will support them secretly. Now I need to make up a dream to talk to Sunstrider safely.

When I fall asleep, my most trustworthy, beautiful and beloved little Maiev will protect me, okay? "

"Pay attention to your identity, Lord Yueying, don't be so disgusting, okay?"

Maiev said angrily, but Blake then winked and said:

"Don't laugh if you have the ability. You obviously like to be together like this but you still have to be so serious. We are in the stage of passionate love now, right? Don't you think it's appropriate if you don't pounce on me and plant some strawberries for me?"

"Sir, be more decent."

Maiev helplessly held her helmet and sighed:

"I really can't continue to believe in you when you're like this. This is not what I imagined it would be like to be in love with someone."

After saying that, she glanced at the dissatisfied Evil God, thought for a moment, reached out, took off her helmet, kissed Blake gently on the cheek, and said:

"That's good, be good."

"whispering sound."

The pirate snorted and said:

"See how I will torture you when I rescue you after I go back, you unbehaved believer."

After throwing harsh words, Lord Evil God slightly used the power of the Quiet One's godhead. Without affecting the stability of the time network, a dream that enveloped the upper elf area was compiled in the blink of an eye.

Maiev beside him shook her head, and the world in her eyes was split into two at this moment. The material world was still peaceful, but the dreams in her mind returned to Shadowsong's ancestral home as if the world had changed.

Seeing the evil-smiling Evil God move his fingers, Miss Maiev realized that something was wrong.

"My dear little Maiev, I haven't finished telling my story yet, but we don't have much time left so we can only finish it in our dreams. But maybe we can listen to the story in a different environment.

Relax and listen to me, this dream won't end so soon. "

Damn it!

His own insincerity angered his own god.

Now this evil god is going to send down "divine punishment".

I'm finished.——

On the other side, the great aristocrat Dath'Rema Sunstrider, who had returned to his mansion after a tiring day at the "big construction site" of the Well of Eternity, just leaned on his chair and was about to enjoy dinner when he felt an irresistible feeling. sleepy.

This dream came so suddenly that he fell asleep within a few blinks.

"Damn it, I have to go to work tomorrow."

The Sun Chaser thought so.

But the dream in front of me has quietly unfolded.

He saw a ball of flame bursting out in front of his eyes and flying in sparks. The flame danced around Dath'Rema Sunstrider as if it had a life of its own, and finally turned into a beautiful and noble flaming phoenix.

It flapped its wings, and in the arc of light drawn by the elegant tail feathers, it led Dath'Rema forward in this weird dream, as if it were stepping into a future that was not so clear.

Sun Chaser saw himself in the fragments of time and space passing by on both sides.

Surrounded by a group of fellow elves, he boarded a battleship, sailed through a majestic ocean he had never seen before, and finally set foot on a magical and wild continent like an explorer.

Before the Sun Chaser could take a closer look, another fragment of the scene unfolded again.

The scorching sun of dawn shone down the morning light, and in a gorgeous city that was very similar to Zin-Azshari, there were red and gold towers all over. He, who was already old, held an elegant golden harp and played his hometown tune melancholy. .

Those fragments are constantly changing, some are battlefields, some are deep palaces and mansions, and there is also a large area of ​​white-skinned elves outside a towering mausoleum saying goodbye sadly.

In the end, those fragments flew and turned into a flaming gorgeous long sword amid the neighing of the phoenix and stuck on the ground like a flagpole. The flaming phoenix that had led him along also folded its wings and landed on the flaming hilt.

"Is this some kind of prophecy?"

Mr. Sun Chaser is a great nobleman of the empire, although he is not as powerful as a great arcanist.

But he is also a very good spellcaster and has a very deep family background.

He immediately realized that his dream was unusual, and the long sword that appeared in the dream might be the key to unlocking this prophecy.

"Touch it."

A low voice sounded in Dath'Rema's dream, causing the Sun Chaser to turn around cautiously, and saw a mysterious man wearing black clothes and black robes, holding a crow staff, coming from his dream.

There was only a chaotic fog under his hood, and the sense of mystery was filled in an instant.

"Dath'Remar Sunstrider, who is destined to do great things, welcome to the place between the past, present and future. You are about to embark on your own magnificent destiny, and I will be your guide."

Pirate Pirates glanced at the founding king of Quel'Thalas in front of him.

He waved his fingers to reorganize this fragmented dream into another scene. Dath'Rema saw the familiar hall and himself sleeping soundly on the dining table not far away.

He didn't wake up, he was still dreaming.

"The familiar surroundings may help you let your guard down, come on."

The mysterious man sat on the sofa behind him, letting the flames of the fireplace burn. The elegant phoenix landed on his shoulder, tilting his head to look at the Sun Chaser.

He said:

"Open your mind to your destiny and speak to the Black Seer."
