Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Half an hour later, the Jotunheim Force returned with a full load of victory. After putting down the undead pirates who had satisfied their desire to fight on the dock, Captain Grayson took a few ghosts to the side of the Nagfar. side.

The fog has now cleared.

The three ships of the North Sea pirates have also been controlled. The pirates were dejected, their hands tied with ropes, and escorted by the ferocious-looking snake people, they headed southeast outside the village of Losberg.

There is a naval observation tower that was burned by the orcs before. It is now in ruins, but it can be used to imprison these dishonest pirates.

"Wow, this ship is so majestic and beautiful."

When the Vrykul raiding ship approached the ghost ship, little Dorothy, who was sitting on the side of the ship, screamed, pointed at the cool and cold ghost ship in front of her, and said to Captain Grayson who was manning the sail behind him:

"Uncle, that ship is much more majestic than yours."

"Uh, you kid, you really can't speak."

The ghost captain curled his lips, glanced at the real ghost ship in front of him, and then glanced at his "sampan". Not only was it two times smaller in size, but it also had no advantage in appearance.

But the captain was still against his will and said very harshly:

"My boat is also great, okay? I bet that boat can't run as fast as mine, and you can see how flashy it is, which is just to scare people.

If we really want to fight, we still have to look at my assault ship.

Humph, just wait, my ship will definitely be more majestic than it is after it finds a powerful crew! "

"Bragging! Don't be ashamed!"

Little Dorothy made a face at Captain Ghost, which made Captain Grayson look unhappy. However, he was still a classy old pirate and could not lose his temper with such a child.

Then he sprinkled his own fire on Romeo and Juliet who were still showing off their affection.

"Hey, you two, if you want to do something eye-catching, go somewhere else and show your affection again, or I'll throw you away!"

"Huh, I don't understand the style."

The ghost swordsman glanced at Grayson, then held her in his arms as a princess, amidst the joyful screams of the nymphomaniac ghost Juliet, and went to the stern of the ship to continue their affectionate love.

As a result, it disturbed Mr. Barnes, the stage manager, who was sitting there, writing a new play based on today's pirate battle, and caused the three ghosts to quarrel again.

Although this Juliet usually looks like a nymphomaniac, when they quarrel, she actually behaves like a shrew.

In such noise, a few minutes later, the two ships approached.

On the deck of the Nagfar, several ghosts of witches who were bound in the hull came over to the cold ship plank. Ms. Natalie, who was reading the scripture, stood up and held the hand of the little ghost Dorothy. Walk towards the plank.

Captain Grayson straightened his clothes and stepped onto the ghost ship with the three ghosts still arguing behind him.

As a result, as soon as the four ghosts boarded the boat, they were immediately noticed by the ship spirit. In the perception of the four ghosts, a huge creature was rushing towards them, trying to swallow them in one bite.

"You can't eat those ones, be good."

The pirate dragon Sephiel flashed to the edge of the deck with a whoosh.

After preventing the Nagfar from swallowing four ghosts, the ship's spirit was not angry when he heard the stop, and just lay dormant quietly as when he appeared.

In this terrifying version of the encounter, the first mate of the Nagfar glanced at the Jotunheim Power from the side of the ship. With a bit of teasing, she said to the ghost captain Grayson who was wiping cold sweat next to her:

"Is that your ship? It doesn't look good. It's also a ghost ship. Look how majestic my Nagfar is."

"Huh, I just got my ship."

It was about the dignity of the captain, and Grayson, an old pirate, was not polite.

He put his hands on his hips and said to Sephiel:

"I will train her carefully. Just wait. One day, she will become a ghost ship as powerful as the Nagfar!"

"She? Ah, I understand. You are the kind of dirty sailor who treats the ship as his wife, as the captain sometimes says, right?"

Sephiel grinned, patted Grayson on the shoulder with a strange expression, and said:

"Courage is commendable. Do you know that once the ghost ship becomes conscious, it will shape itself according to the captain's ideas. If you continue to treat it as your wife, sooner or later, it will really become what the captain said. 'ship girl'.

But it looks like a Vrykul ship.

Do you know how fierce Vrykul women are? "

"Um?"

Grayson, the old pirate's eyes lit up for a moment. With a strange urgency, he looked at Sephiel and said:

"Really? Will my ship turn into a girl and stay with me forever? Are you sure?"

"Well"

Sephiel was stopped by the question. She glanced at the excited old pirate Grayson with a strange look, and quietly took a step back to keep herself away from this guy who didn't seem to be normal.

she says:

"You've completely missed the point! What I want to tell you is that your ship will be shaped into a vrykul woman, with arms thicker than your waist."

"Wouldn't that be better?"

Grayson raised his hand with a smile on his face, sketched obscene curves in the air, and said:

"I just like big ones, I like them."

"Ah~tui! You hopeless stinky pirate! Go to hell!"

When Miss Pirate Dragon heard this, she immediately took a few steps back, raised her foot during the run-up, and kicked Grayson's spirit body, sending the dirty bastard old pirate flying into the air.

Like a meteor, flying to the distant sea.

The Force of Jotunheim, which was traveling with the Nagfar, quickly detached itself from the ship's plank amid the screams of its captain, dropped its sails, changed course, and headed towards the direction where Grayson fell into the water.

It doesn't have its own consciousness yet.

But it must obey the captain's orders.

After kicking the obscene guy away neatly, First Mate Sephiel clapped her hands and noticed the fearful looks of several ghosts next to her. She immediately coughed and straightened up her demeanor.

Let yourself return to the posture of a lady pirate.

The pirate dragon first mate coughed, made a "please" gesture to the ghosts around him, and said:

"Everyone, please come with me. Cabins have been arranged for you on the ship. This ship is not familiar with you yet, and the ship spirit is a glutton. Therefore, it is best not to run around in the past few days.

If you are accidentally eaten by the Nagfar, things will become quite troublesome.

This is not to scare you.

You must be self-aware. Special spirits like you are quite delicious snacks in the eyes of the Nagfar. I’m talking about you, pretty little girl in a skirt, take your hand back.

Be careful, this ship will eat you in one bite.

Ah, don't cry.

I'm just scaring you, just kidding. "

——

"Little Dorothy's spirit body was created by Medivh with a summoning spell. Not only can she summon the ferocious hell hound, but she can also summon her 'friends'.

and her nemesis, the weird witch. "

In the cabin of the Nagfar, in the prepared "interrogation room", Black said to Archmage Nielas Ellan who was reading a book next to him:

"I tried to activate that spell before, but failed. Apparently, my magical attainments are not enough to deal with the magic left by the Astral Mage.

Therefore, I can only ask you to help little Dorothy and summon her friends to this ship. They are Medivh's creations, strange and powerful, and will be part of the Nag'far's defense system. "

The pirate laughed and said:

"You want to study magic. You must not encounter any enemies. Please deal with them."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

The somewhat lonely old mage nodded, put away the book, and said to Black:

"When the child adapts to the environment of this ship, I will help her activate the summoning magic. Hmm? I feel a powerful magic approaching.

It's a strange smell. "

Elan stretched out his hand, and a ball of flame sparks vibrated at the tip of his finger, turning into a ring of fire and spreading.

"That's my new ship's doctor, Sir Elan, don't be nervous."

The pirates hurriedly blocked the archmage's spellcasting. At the same time, Ms. Natalie, wearing a long hood, also walked into the cabin under the leadership of the ghost dragon.

As a result, she saw an archmage locking her aura.

Natalie was horrified.

Not just because of Elan's threat, but also because of his face. She had seen a portrait of this face in Stormwind Fortress, and she could recognize it as the former Royal Archmage of the Kingdom of Stormwind.

The father of the astral mage Medivh, His Excellency Nielas Ellan.

Natalie had no idea that she would see Lord Elan on the ghost ship, who had been dead for more than fifty years. She subconsciously touched her waist, but found nothing.

The magic dagger that should have been hanging there is long gone.

"A priest who walks between the shadow and the holy light is really strange."

Ellan looked Natalie up and down, then looked back at Blake. The lonely old mage said in a strange tone:

"You can always find such strange companions, Captain Black. This may also be a strange talent. But when you are done with your business, don't forget to meet Ms. Windrunner."

After saying that, Elan tapped his feet on the ground and disappeared.

It's not that he uses the flashing technique, but as a "passenger" on the Nagfar and a ghost, he can naturally travel anywhere on the ship.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, the interrogation begins."

The pirate held his pipe in his mouth and waved to Natalie. In the cabin in front of the two of them, the five leaders of the North Sea pirates were being guarded by Knight Joan Creedon and his men.

Except for the tattooed girl Marci, the other four people were seriously injured.

But as the leader, Anne Bonn's injury had nothing to do with the undead pirates under Black's command. She was already seriously injured when she started this journey.

"I treat the patients first."

Natalie pulled her hood, took a few steps forward, raised it with both hands, and the warm holy light reverberated in the cabin, causing the semi-undead around her to move away unconsciously.

They are naturally resistant to this kind of warm power.

But the warm golden light lit up, and a glimmer of hope appeared in the panicked eyes of several pirate leaders, especially Anne Bonn, who was the most seriously injured.

She had previously thought about leading her pirates into the Dragonbone Harbor of Gilneas, kidnapping the priest and returning her to heal her.

Pirates cherish their lives.

"Well"

Just when Natalie's holy light came into contact with the wound on Anne Bonn's chest, the former second-in-command of the North Sea pirates let out a painful groan, and the wound on her chest was healing.

But as soon as Natalie's hand left, the wound would reopen.

"There's something wrong with this injury that won't heal."

The ship's doctor sister turned around and said to Blake, who had his hands behind his back:

"The damage to her soul must be healed first, but there is a cold force entrenched in the wound, and I cannot expel it."

"You shouldn't have helped her, my little master."

Xalatas, who had been quiet for a few days, whispered in Blake's ear again:

"This is just a fool with a weak mind. Real power should belong to the strong, and the strong never pity the weak with weak hearts. This miserable pirate is already scared of death.

She may have been passionate about adventure, but now, she is just a sacrifice about to sink into darkness. "

Blake was unmoved.

Sataras laughed again and said:

"But, if you think about it carefully, it's better to save her. The reason is that I don't need to remind you, my little master.

I'm sorry that I didn't know you well enough before.

But when I saw the Naqfar obeying you so obediently, I knew that my admiration for you was correct. My master, your strength and your ambition are so charming.

Hela is your enemy, and the death of the soul in front of you is related to her.

I smelled a conspiracy that happened thousands of miles away, but it was against you.

You really pissed off that lunatic. You are at war with a god. You will need my strength, my master. I have dealt with them for a long time.

I know how to deal with them. As long as you give the order, I will dedicate everything to you."

"Thanks, but I also know how to deal with them."

Blake said to himself:

"Nice try, Xal'atath. But next time, please bring me some information that I'm really interested in, rather than these old things.

Don't let me underestimate you. "

After talking to himself like this, the pirate moved his chin, looked at Anne Bonn who looked desperate, pointed to the table next to him, and said coldly:

"Take off your clothes and lie down!"

"The others will leave for now, but the ship's doctor will stay to help me. Dr. Black will be the one doing this surgery!"
