Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"boom"

The luxurious cane made of the finest century-old pine wood was whipped down. The old father, who was angered by the damn joke, panted and glared at his unfilial son.

Blake looked innocent and even stretched out his hand to block it.

But the old man's lifelong martial arts skills were more powerful. Although he no longer had the blessing of strength, the cane that he swung down like a sword still bypassed Blake's hand and hit his shoulder.

It hurts, it definitely doesn't hurt.

But Pirate Pirates still screamed exaggeratedly, as if he was begging for mercy when being lectured by his old father, but his acting skills were really bad tonight, and the anger in Dai Lin's heart disappeared suddenly.

He glared at his inattentive son fiercely, angrily pulled up a chair and sat on it, and unbuttoned his collar uncomfortably.

Throwing the heavy saber aside, the thud echoed.

"I was just joking."

Blake grinned and said:

"It's not your fault that the elderly go to the toilet frequently. It's just the natural aging of the body. It's all fine now. In another twenty years, you'll probably have to change your sheets every day.

Uh, okay, okay, why don’t I stop talking? "

"Are you really here to say goodbye, not to provoke?"

Old Dai Lin scolded:

"Or are you planning to piss me off to death before leaving, and take my soul with you through life and death? This is actually true. After all, you, a third-rate captain, cannot sail a good ship across the River Styx."

"Hey, do you have such a poisonous mouth?"

Blake said unhappily:

"After all, I commanded a fleet and defeated the great admiral's pirates head-on. You actually said that I'm not good at sailing."

"What do you call beating me?"

Dai Lin snorted, leaned on the chair and took a sip of wine, waved her hands and said boldly:

"I just don't want to see my stupid son crying in his lover's arms, so I let go. Give me your power back, and we can have another fight."

"Don't make trouble."

The evil god rolled his eyes and said:

"Do you know how much energy Lord Eonar and I spent to rescue you from the desperate situation of a ball of mud? Don't think about power, unless you are willing to experience the feeling of growing up from a baby, otherwise even if Even I can't give you any more strength.

You know, Dad, you were supposed to die. "

"Then you should let me die!"

Dai Lin suddenly became angry.

He suppressed his voice so that the family members outside the door could not hear it. He grabbed Blake's hand and yelled in a low voice:

"I should have died in the decisive battle of Argus, like a true veteran and a true warrior. Let me protect my daughter with my life and repay everything I owe her.

Let me die there!

Let me live in the hearts of the people, like Grom Hellscream. God, I never thought that one day I would envy a damn greenskin.

I was very satisfied with that ending, Blake, my son, but you dragged me from that happy ending back to the human world and made me a miserable old man who even needs help to go to the toilet!

do you know?

This is not a gift, I feel like you want me to suffer.

When the demons came, I couldn't even kill a demon hound with a knife, and your mother had to save me from having my neck chewed off by that damn beast.

I.I don’t want this! "

Veins popped up on Old Dai Lin's fingers. He seemed to be complaining and venting. He whispered:

"Gina wanted to take me to her mage tower for refuge, but I drove her away. It was the first time I treated my lover so rudely, and I even poured tea on her.

I.

I did not do it on purpose.

I just don't want them to see me weak.

I knew I needed their protection. Daelin Proudmoore, the hero of war, the destroyer of greenskins, the king of the south seas, the conqueror of the sea, became a useless person who couldn't even swing a sword.

Blake, I know you're helping me.

But I really”

"Hey, you won't cry anymore, will you?"

The evil god looked at his old father who lowered his head like he was looking at a Western scene, and said:

“Now I really feel that it was a mistake to rescue you.

But if I don’t save you, I will have to face a mother who has lost her wife and is all alone but still pretending to be strong, an elf aunt who will most likely draw a sword and wipe her neck to accompany you, a mother who has lost her father and lost her whole life. A sister who blames herself, a sister who is extremely painful and stimulated and embarks on a dark path, and an artist brother who may turn into a war madman after losing his father.

Especially the last one, that's no joke.

I would be dealing with a broken family.

I will get all this mess just because my father is cowardly and doesn't want to admit that he is old. He calls himself a waste when he has returned to an ordinary person, but he doesn't care how much his nonsense and willfulness have brought to the people around him. pressure. "

Blake paused, stretched out his hand, and pushed Dai Lin back to the chair.

He looked at his old father seriously and said:

"So, Daelin Proudmoore, are you a coward who will evade responsibility? You can face the devil on the battlefield you are familiar with without frowning, but you have to choose to be a coward on this battlefield called 'life'. deserter?

You see, you now have a wife who loves you, a charming and loyal lover, a pair of sons and daughters who adore you and a country waiting for your leadership, as well as a godly son and a rebellious daughter.

You still have everything.

You can spend the rest of your life surrounded by happiness, but you have to give up all this in exchange for a death in battle that only makes you feel glorious.

You want to throw your responsibility on me. Why didn't I realize that you are such a selfish person before?

Are you crazy? "

Dai Lin didn't speak, just drank with her head down.

When something is on his mind, no matter how good his drinking capacity is, it is no different than a piece of paper. A few mouthfuls will make Old Dai Lin drunk.

He was in a mess.

Probably because it is rare to share such profound thoughts with children, and rarely to be taught such straightforward lessons by children.

"I didn't bring you back to this world just to see you become decadent like this, father."

Blake sighed. Without the majesty and glory of the evil god, he was like a wanderer who was about to leave, and said to his father in a gentle tone:

"I have met many, many people who are so powerful that they can be called great. Those who have truly shined are never afraid to walk into the desolate night. You are also one of those people.

You are the man I admire most, don't show such a weak posture.

I know this is difficult. Maybe when I get old, I will have the same thoughts as you, but you can live for at least another forty years. Where is this? It is just a small turning point in life.

I need you to be strong, Dad. "

The pirate took a sip of wine and turned to look at the dark night lit by war outside the wall. He paused and said:

“Like I said, I’m leaving.

I may not be able to return to this world and to you for a long time. I want to entrust my family to a man who can make me feel at ease before I leave.

That's why I brought you back to reality from death.

Just like the time when I died in the waters of Khaz Modan, I hope you can protect my mother, my sister and brother, and this family on my behalf when I am away.

But you definitely can’t do it now that you’re so decadent, you even need help to go to the toilet.”

"Can we not talk about this?"

Dai Lin gritted her teeth and said something.

"No, no, this is actually very important."

Blake showed a weird smile, coughed a few times, and said seriously:

"You know, when the Life Titan and I reshaped your flesh and blood, it was fixed at the moment when you were killed by Aggramar. In other words, you are not yet at that old age where you can't even control your bladder.

The reason why you are so weak is because your heart has given up to reality. You feel that you are old and useless, so your body becomes old and your life becomes bleak.

But that’s not the case, as long as the fire in your heart is rekindled, you will”

"Will I get my strength back?"

Dai Lin suddenly looked up with surprise on her face, but saw Blake shrugging and saying:

"No, you can't get your power back, but at least you can become the admiral who makes your enemies fearful. I'm really not kidding. I'm here to say goodbye, not to leave a riddle."

Having said this, Blake poked his forehead and said:

"In about ten months, Caliya will give birth to a child. I hope that you and your mother can grow up with him, just like you raised me, ahem, just like you raised Gianna."

"I thought Arthas was joking."

The decadent Dai Lin suddenly became interested. He looked at his son with burning eyes and said:

"Is he really my grandson?"

"What do you think?"

Blake rolled his eyes angrily.

What kind of devil father is this!

Do you actually doubt that your son can even have a child?

"Okay! If that's the case, then I really should be strong again. I can't let my grandson say I'm a useless grandpa."

Dai Lin stood up suddenly, raised the bottle of wine in his hand and drank it down. He wiped his mouth boldly, glanced at the pirate again, and said seriously:

"I will make him the heir to House Proudmoore."

"No!"

Blake shook his head and said:

“Everything here belongs to Gianna!

She is the most suitable queen for Kul Tiras. Perhaps she will become the Grand Duchess of the Empire in the future. I believe she will rule this land in a perfect way. "

"Too."

Dai Lin frowned and thought for a while, then said:

"Lordaeron also needs an heir. Old Terenas will not let go. He also expects his grandson to become the emperor. Tanred's character is not willing to get involved in politics. Jaina is indeed the perfect heir.

But what about Fenna? Do you want to take her away? "

"I don't know."

Blake lowered his head and said:

"I'm also very conflicted. Fenna won't let me leave her in a world without me, but crossing the veil of life and death as a living person represents a terrible choice.

And Mrs. Jin Jian will definitely not be willing either."

"Then take her away!"

Dai Lin waved to interrupt Blake's hesitation, and the old father said seriously:

"Fenna's biggest regret is that she was not accompanied by her father when she was a child. That is also the biggest regret in my life. I failed to withstand the pressure and stay by my lover's side, which made them, mother and daughter, spend a difficult time alone and regretfully.

Don't make the same mistake again.

Gina may be sad, but I will be there for her and time will heal her. "

"Aren't you angry?"

Blake looked up at Dai Lin and said:

"I slept with your daughter."

"You are still my son."

The old admiral bared his teeth and his eyes fell on Blake's legs. He clenched his fists and unclenched them, sighing and saying:

"The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. The elves don't care about this. Besides, will it be useful if I stop it? If you don't say anything, Fenna can tear apart my old bones with one hand.

I don’t want to turn into a stubborn old man who prevents my daughter from pursuing happiness after ‘Heartless Daddy’.

go Go.

Just go with it. "

As she spoke, Dai Lin hesitated, pulled off the silver anchor pendant hanging around her neck, threw it to Blake, and said:

“The child of the Proudmoore family is about to sail away, and he will explore a place that no one has ever been before. As a father, I am only proud and have no regrets.

May the waves protect you, my child.

Of course, remember to write a letter if you have time.

I heard that the postmaster is a very powerful guy and can send your letters back from the other world, right? "

"You should call him 'He'."

Blake corrected:

"Of course the omnipotent postmaster can do it. I will send back photos and maybe a few children who need your help in changing diapers."

After saying this, Lady Catherine, who was hiding above her head at the door, could no longer bear it.

The mother rushed in crying, hugging her son and not wanting to let go. Jaina and Tanred also knew that their brother was leaving tonight, and the two little guys held his hands tightly and begged him to stay.

This painful scene made the ruthless evil god feel a little emotional, but when he looked back, he could see this devastated world praying and waiting.

Do you want these people who miss you to live in a world shrouded in war forever?

No.

of course not.

That's not a choice a man should make.

The night was not very comfortable, especially when Alsace, who was fighting with the demons on the front line, was called over, and the scene became even more chaotic.

Although the arrogant Prince was almost beaten to death by the evil god, fortunately, they finally sat down together and had some words.

And in the dark night before dawn, Blake sat back on the wheelchair that could drive cars, and disappeared into this uneasy night as his family watched.

While the crying women were waving, Dai Lin, who stood upright, glanced down at Alsace, who was bruised and swollen by Black. He then looked at his little daughter.

The admiral shook his head and cursed the national essence of the Kul Tiran people.

Then he reached out and took the heavy Proudmoore family sword from his waist. As Arthas stared in shock, Dailin thrust the graceful and domineering legendary command knife into his hand.

He said to him angrily:

"What are you still doing here? Go fight on the front line!

If you can't regain the position in Huifan Market tonight, then go back to Lordaeron tomorrow. The Proudmoore family doesn't need such a weak son-in-law. "

Arthas didn't react for a while, until he was secretly kicked by Jaina and his eyes widened.

He looked at the family sword in his hand and suddenly became energetic. Without saying a word, he held the sword and rushed into the night under the critical gaze of his father-in-law. In the distance, he could hear cheers and screams like crazy monkeys.

"What do you see in him?"

Dai Lin patted her daughter on the shoulder and sighed:

"Compared to your brother, this Alsace is too far behind."

"Just blow it."

Jaina wiped her eyes and retorted angrily:

"Brother is not as powerful as him at his age. This is what he said himself. He said that you gave all your best talents to me and Finna, leaving him and Tanred to be members of the Proudmoore family. of dross.

Hey, speaking of which, I haven’t seen Fenner yet.

Where has she gone? "

Dai Lin did not answer, but just looked at the ray of moonlight floating from the clouds above his head from a distance with his hands behind his hands. He said softly:

"Fenna, she's back home."

——

The Nagfar sank quietly into the sea under the night, just as it came, and when it left, it waved without taking away a single cloud of its hometown.

First Mate Sephiel was a man of his word. He was probably upset by the bad words of the pirates before, so he did not come to welcome the captain back.

Blake pushed his wheelchair back to the captain's cabin alone, but was startled when he opened the door.

He looked blankly at the stupid soldier in the captain's cabin who was standing in front of the full-length mirror and posing. When Fenner turned around and blew a kiss, Blake closed the door with a bang and opened it again the next moment.

In the end, what I saw was Fenner's face.

"Okay, I went to the wrong parallel world."

Blake complained.

He squinted at the weird armor Fenna was wearing, squinted and said:

"Where did you find it? I remember I left it ten thousand years ago."

"you guess?"

Fenna jumped over with a whoosh, and picked up her weak brother from the wheelchair in a womanly style. She carried her to the big round bed like a princess, with the armor on her body clashing.

In a sweet voice she whispered:

"You won't drive me away again because of other people's gossip, will you?"

"Let them talk as much as they like, and I won't lose a piece of meat. Hisari's incident has taught me a profound lesson. When I am afraid of accusations, I have already lost. "

Blake lay on the bed, stretched his body, and felt the trembling and hot temperature of Fenner's skin when his fingers crossed. He closed his eyes and said:

"This is our story, so from now on, you can do whatever you want."
