Shadow Trails in Azeroth

As the ancestor of the Sunstrider family, Dath'Remar Sunstrider's outstanding appearance and bearing can be seen from the beauty of his descendant Kael'thas Sunstrider, which is enough to make the pirates feel threatened.

Of course, as a great nobleman in the most prosperous era of the empire and a courtier favored by Queen Azshara, Dath'Remar was obviously more masculine than his descendants.

Compared with his handsomeness, Kaizi feels somewhat feminine.

This great aristocrat who was destined to have a magnificent life also had a big heart that was tired of his identity and temperament. After realizing that his dream seemed to involve an incredible guy, the Sun Chaser quickly calmed down.

He couldn't resist this mysterious guy, so naturally he wouldn't do something meaningless that would only anger the black prophet.

Under the gaze of Lord Evil God, Dath'Rema Sun Chaser sat on the chair opposite him with a gentle yet distant smile. After thinking for a few seconds, he said:

"My good friend Lord Ravencase has not revealed your existence to me, the mysterious prophet, but I believe that your participation and help must be involved in this war that changes three times a day.

Please allow me to express my heartfelt gratitude to you on behalf of myself and my fellow sufferers. "

After saying these words, there was no answer. On the contrary, although there was no expression on the chaotic face of the prophet in black across from him, he could feel a strange scrutiny looking at him.

"As expected of someone who will be a king in the future, this familiar diplomatic rhetoric is really easy to come by."

The prophet in black shook his head and said:

"But if you are sure that you want to waste your precious time on these useless things, then I can talk to you all day, are you willing?"

Sun Chaser was embarrassed.

He sat up straight and said seriously:

"We have gathered a group of high-borne elves in Zin-Azshari who are determined to resist. They have all been tortured by the queen's madness and the oppression of the devil.

Although there are not many in number, they are all brave men carefully selected by me.

Once the rebels decide to invade the city, we can provide a lot of support, such as temporarily closing the city's magic barrier, leading the way for the soldiers, etc. "

"This is not what I want to talk about with you, Sun Chaser. Maybe a messenger from the resistance will come tomorrow. You can discuss the war with him as much as you want."

Black said:

"What I want to talk to you about is destiny, the role you will play in this war, and the mission you are about to fulfill. I think a wise person like you has probably guessed the direction of things in the future.

But what I'm saying is, you're not ready yet. "

He touched the flaming phoenix resting on his shoulder. This cute little bird made a bright cry in the dream, then flapped its wings and flew out, turning into a raging fire between the two of them, forming the thorn that the Sun Chaser had just seen. A uniquely shaped flaming sword.

"You have to forge it. Before the battle begins, it will become a legendary blade that records your destiny. It will become a secret treasure passed down from generation to generation and a proud dependence of the Sunstrider family."

The evil god pointed at the sword and said to Dath'Rema who was listening carefully:

"You have to hold it and go into battle."

"A flaming blade?"

The great noble nodded, carefully distinguishing the shape and details of the sword, and said:

"The empress's palace forges have long been out of work. When she made a deal with the devil under the guidance of the flattering Lord Xavius, all order in the once prosperous palace was gone.

Fortunately, those excellent craftsmen escaped the massacre under my protection. It is not difficult to forge such a magic sword with their skills and the materials stored in my manor.

The only problem is the connection with the flames. "

Dath'Rema rubbed her chin and said with some embarrassment:

"This is no ordinary flame.

Based on my proficient magic skills, I guess it should come from the realm of the First Fire, the mysterious elemental plane and the legendary and extremely violent Fire Demon King Ragnaros.

Mr. Prophet, under normal circumstances I would be willing to devote time and energy to this prophecy to find a way to contact the Lord of Fire, but now is really not a good time. "

"What you need is the Fire of Savras."

The pirate didn't hide it, he said directly:

"I am not one of those third-rate prophets who dig holes but never fill them. I will give you the treasures you need to help you complete this Sun Chaser's holy artifact. But while I shape your destiny, you must also shape the destiny of others.

I know that not all night elf civilians died in the massacre of Zin-Azshari, and some lucky ones were secretly protected by some big shots.

They are in this city.

They are like a group of frightened beasts. Until they are led by a true leader, their hearts will be shrouded in fear and unable to inspire courage.

Dath'Remar Sunstrider, this is the price you pay for your prophecies.

You have to help the common people find their leader. Before you can become the king, you must help another person ascend to the throne of the leader. This is a very important step.

It is also a responsibility you must bear. "

Sun Chaser's expression changed slightly.

The fact that he quietly gathered a group of civilians who had nowhere to go and faced death threats when the massacre occurred was one of his biggest secrets. He only saved those poor people out of noble responsibility.

They originally planned to send them quietly out of the city after the situation calmed down, but who would have expected that the queen would go so completely crazy. Seeing that there were more and more demons in the city of Zin-Azsali, those civilians who had escaped the massacre would die if they dared to show their faces.

But the demons' patrols have become more and more strict, and those civilians who escaped the massacre have become a hot potato in the hands of the Sun Chasers.

He is a person with a bottom line and cannot send those innocent people into the hands of the devil again, but if the situation continues to deteriorate, the civilians hiding in the large estates on the edge of the city will definitely be discovered by the devil.

By then, he will not be able to protect himself.

What's more serious is that he was not the only noble to shelter the common people during the massacre.

Dath'Remar knew that many of the nobles who now chose to join his small organization to resist the tyranny of Queen Azshara had more or less civilians hiding in their estates.

The resistance of these upper elf nobles was indeed because they could not stand the double oppression and humiliation of the queen and the devil, but part of the reason was that they could not resist.

In the choice between loyalty and conscience, they chose conscience.

Now it's time for them to pay the price for their conscience. This uprising will definitely happen. Dath'Rema has been preparing. Ravencase and the resistance are a surprise, but the pressure on the Sunstrider is also great.

"The total number of civilians hiding there is several thousand."

Sun Chaser said in a difficult tone:

"We can provide them with weapons. Anyway, our private soldiers have been dragged to the large construction site of the Well of Eternity, and there are plenty of sophisticated weapons.

But the leader.

After the massacre, the night elves no longer trust the highborne except us.

I can't leave this city under martial law, so where can I find a qualified leader for these civilians? "

"Well, that's your problem, my dear Sunstrider."

Blake, who likes to watch other people's misfortune the most, said in a pleasant tone:

"I think a destined king is obviously capable enough to complete this important task easily. As for those leaders, she is not outside, she is in this city.

No need to worry, Sun Chaser.

A prophet as good as myself would not send unfulfilled revelations to those who have already entered their destiny.

She's right next to you.

All you have to do is observe carefully and take risks when necessary. "

"I still have some questions, I guess"

Dathrema raised his head, wanting to ask more about the prophecy about the "King's Destiny", but the moment he raised his head, what he saw was the cold dinner in front of him.

The fireplace in the hall still burned.

But there was no longer the elegant phoenix or the mysterious prophet on the sofa. Before I even realized it, I had woken up from the dream.

"what is this?"

The nobles also lost their appetite for food.

He frowned and stood up and walked to the fireplace, looking at the burning flames in front of him, he said:

"Am I too tired and stressed recently to have this weird dream? But I remember the details of that sword clearly.

By the way, I seem to have had the same dream a few years ago.

The same flaming sword.

I also discussed this matter with Faroldis at the time, and he said that it just revealed the pursuit of bravery in my heart. Now it seems that it is more than that.

correct!

Didn't the prophet say that he would leave a portion of the fire for forging? "

Sun Chaser looked around and saw that there was no trace of gifts left in the hall. Finally, he focused on the fireplace in front of him. There was a trace of flame burning in the dancing flame that was particularly strange.

It was completely different from the coquettish bitches burning randomly next to it. It was not attached to the charcoal at all, and just burned out of thin air to enjoy itself.

There was only a trace of flame, but it attracted all the attention of Dath'Rema Sunstrider.

He squatted down in wonder, used his not-so-powerful magic to wrap his fingers into the flames, and took out the quietly burning rootless fire in the palm of his hand.

After leaving the fireplace, the fire was still burning, illuminating the Sun Chaser's eyes.

It also dispelled the doubts in his mind.

If the original fire left behind is true, it means that the bizarre prophetic dream is also true. When he accepted this gift, he also accepted a responsibility.

To find a leader for the helpless civilians trapped in Zin-Azshari

The prophet in black said that the person was in the city and called her "her".

The great nobleman narrowed his eyes and carefully recalled what happened in the city recently. After a while, he summoned his butler and asked:

"When I came back yesterday, I heard you said that a new prisoner had been placed in the Queen's palace cage? Do you know her identity?"

"Yes, my lord."

The old housekeeper who was responsible for collecting intelligence for the great nobles whispered:

"According to the information I got from chatting with the palace guards when I was delivering food to you, the prisoner was captured by demons sent by Lord Xavius. It is said that the Queen even specially summoned her.

Now she is imprisoned in a palace cage.

Those talkative guards told me that Her Majesty the Queen's favorite maid, Lady Vashj, would take time to go to the cage to talk to the mysterious prisoner in the past few days.

It is said that he is a priest of the moon."

"Priest of the Moon?"

Dath'Rema's eyes suddenly lit up.

Unlike the high-level elves who advocate magic and are loyal to Queen Azshara, the biggest feature of the low-level night elves commoners is that most of them believe in Lady Elune.

Priests of Lady Elune are also very good at organizing civilians to carry out various activities and guide their beliefs for the use of the Empire. If a group of frightened civilians are looking for a leader, then a Moon Priest is definitely the one. The most suitable candidate.

Maybe, she is

The nobleman had an idea in his mind, but he did not act rashly. Instead, he decided to talk to the prisoner tonight to see if she was the "leader" in the prophecy.

"Sanggunar, my dear butler, please do something for me again."

Sun Chaser took out a weapon blueprint he had just drawn and a magic box containing the fire of Savras from his luggage, and handed the two things to his most trusted butler.

He whispered:

"Go to the manor to find the palace craftsmen who have been protected by me, and open the warehouse to them. I want them to forge this weapon for me, and they must be quick!

We don't have much time.

I will see my ‘Flame Strike’ within three days. "

"Our warehouse has the most perfect sword embryo left by the family craftsman, sir."

Butler Sangunar said softly:

"Three days are enough to forge a magic weapon for you, and the guards at home and I will be ready to go to the battlefield like you.

Flamestrike is such a majestic name, and it fits your last name perfectly. "

"Well, Sangunar, I told you that you are really not good at this kind of flattery."

The nobleman sighed, patted the butler on the shoulder, and said:

"Let's go do the work. I'm going to the palace to meet the mysterious prisoner. There's no need to make me a midnight snack at night. I'll stay there until early tomorrow morning and go directly to work on the Well of Eternity.

God, I never thought that one day I would become a poor tool exploited by the devil.

Enough of this damn life! "

——

"I'm warning you, next time you have such an obscene dream, I will convert!"

On the way back to the Watcher's hiding place, Miss Maiev was very dissatisfied and said to her crooked god:

"I'm a clergyman, and I don't mind serving my gods, but dreams like this really put a lot of pressure on me."

"Well, I didn't do anything."

Blake said in surprise:

"It's just a story. I haven't even touched your hand, okay?"

"But you're talking about how shameless we will be in ten thousand years! That's enough! I can't become that person. I am a priest who believes in Lady Elune."

Miss Maiev covered her face and screamed:

"I wouldn't be so shameless."

"But it's all true."

Blake whispered maliciously:

"Stop struggling, my little Maiev, you, like a poor little beast, will eventually fall into the trap of a shameless hunter and get deeper and deeper. Those futures are doomed.

Well, we have guests. "

The evil god pointed forward, and Maiev took a deep breath and jumped into the shadows and walked into the hiding spot.

Black followed her hidden in her shadow. When they entered the house, in addition to the vigilant watchers, there were also the Stormrage brothers, Shandris Feathermoon dressed as a hunter, and the scout of the Vanguard, Taranas Windrunner. .

"I feel it. Mindo's location is in Azshara's palace."

Shandris said to Brother Stormrage:

"But I can't just break in there, we have to wait for the opportunity, Mindo's aura is not weak, she is not tortured."

"But that's a matter of time."

Brother Dan, who was wearing an eye patch, moved his fingers and said:

"I can disguise myself as a demon believer and go there to investigate."

"Too risky."

Malfurion immediately refused:

"We should first contact Mr. Sun Chaser and ask for his help."

"No need."

Maiev strode over and said hoarsely:

"We have taken care of this matter. Lord Dath'Rema will help, and he has already started taking action. You will be able to see Ms. Tyrande in three days at the latest.

Also, I have some bad news for you.

There are still thousands of civilians hiding in this city. They are protected by Dath'Rema and other nobles, but they may be discovered at any time.

I know Tyrande's character best. It is impossible for her to give up on these Moon God believers. Therefore, you all must be prepared. The original rescue plan needs to be changed.

Maybe you have to escort Tyrande and the civilians to break out of Zin-Azshari, or fight here to the end.

This is almost like dying.

Of course, Watchmen will be in the mix too, we're here for it! "
