Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 287 106. With a ‘good friend’ like you, what more enemies do I need? --——【135】

(Additional update [1/5] for "Brothers Spreading Breaths and Getting Nests", the title is too long to write down.)

The orc jumped into the shadow quickly, and the mage reacted quickly. He waved his hand and threw a teleportation spell, sending the two horses into the camp where the signpost had been left.

He himself planned to use the power of magic to hide his figure, but unexpectedly, a hand came out of the shadow, grabbed his collar, and pulled him into the shadow package.

"do not move!"

Garona, who wrapped Khadgar in her shadow suit, whispered.

The human mage didn't want to move either. The problem was that the postures of the two of them were very bad now. He was almost in a princess hug position, being held in Garona's arms.

The mage didn't hate this posture, but he was afraid of offending Garona.

But at this moment, the half-orc had no energy to pay attention to any posture issues. All her attention was focused on the two strange black knights running on the mountain road of the Headwind Trail.

The two guys were wearing heavy black knight armor and weird dark horned helmets. One was carrying a sword and shield, the other was carrying a war hammer, and they were riding on the backs of two majestic horses composed entirely of dark magic.

They each seemed to be carrying something in their arms.

Speeding towards Karazhan.

"If your hand goes up two centimeters, I will chop it off..."

Garona said coldly.

Khadgar immediately retracted his left hand, pretended to cough as if nothing had happened, and explained to Garona in the shadows:

"Those are the Black Knights of Karazhan, a group of bold profiteers who angered Medivh, who was dominated by darkness. They were cursed by him. Throughout their lives, they have to continue to collect treasures for the dark god, but they can never occupy those treasures. baby.

But by the time we assassinated the Mentor, the vaults where the Black Knights stored their treasures were full, and their cursed souls could find temporary rest.

They haven't appeared for several years, so why are they active again now? "

"of course?"

A weird smile appeared on Garona's wild face, and she said:

"It must have been some unscrupulous pirate who plundered a lot when he arrived in Karazhan. You just said that the Black Knight will only collect real treasures, right?"

"What are you going to do?"

Khadgar immediately sensed something was wrong and was about to stop him when he felt his body suddenly empty. Garona, who was holding him, disappeared from the place in a shadow step.

When he reappeared, he landed behind a black knight. The regicide drew out his double blades, and the cold and stunning dance brought up the afterimage, and the cursed black knight let out a roar.

By the time he drew his sword, it was already too late.

The soul-breaking power attached to the Kingslayer's double blades was accurately cut open by the legendary assassin's swing. A gap in his armor was accurately opened. As the double blades were stirred, a roaring head flew out.

There was no blood escaping from the fallen corpse, but energy like dark mud was rolling around.

When the other black knight saw his companion being attacked, he immediately drew out his war hammer and swung it at Garona with great force. Of course, it missed her.

The wild orc jumped into the air and made a goodbye gesture to the black knight.

It dissipated into nothingness before landing, and at the same time, Khadgar behind him waved his hand.

Three completely different magic powers, arcane, ice, and fire, were mixed together and converged into a super magic bullet, which roared like a cannon and hit the black knight.

At the moment of contact, the poor guy and his armor were torn into dark fragments flying everywhere. The terrifying power of the escape almost blew the mountain road in half.

"I said, it didn't take a day or two for you to get Medivh's magic power."

Garona emerged from the shadows with her hands on her hips and said to Khadgar with a sense of contempt:

"Why can't you stop? Aren't you the genius of Dalaran? Is this the control of a genius?"

"Stop talking sarcastically."

Khadgar curled his lips, glanced at the chaotic magic power remaining on his gloves, and said:

"Although only a little bit of the guardian power remains in my body, how can this kind of demigod-level magic be so easy to control? I have tried my best to restrain it.

Moreover, the curse of the Black Knights is very powerful. If they cannot be destroyed at once, they will be reborn soon... What are you doing? "

"Touch the corpse. Don't you want trophies after the battle?"

The half-orc assassin squatting on the ground whistled. She had learned many bad habits from Black, and waved her left hand, with a green one-handed sword clasped in her fingers.

explain:

"This looks like a good thing at first glance, so I took it. Before I can find a way to control the dark aura of the Kingslayer, I need two replacement weapons.

The thing in that guy's hand belongs to you. It looks like a pretty powerful magic accessory.

All in all, it was a pleasure to work with everyone and everyone enjoyed the meeting. "

"Where did you learn this?"

Khadgar glanced at Garona with a strange expression and said, "Have you been taught a bad lesson?"

"That's how pirates divide their loot."

The Orc handed the beautiful green dagger to Khadgar, picked up the rein that exuded dark magic, shook it in his hand, and said:

"I think this is fair. You weak mage, do you have any opinions? Why don't you come over quickly and use your treasure appraisal skills to see the grade of these two things.

Don't you always brag that your treasure identification skills are great?

Come, let me open my eyes. "

"Look at the unique pattern on this sword. It looks like a weapon forged by elves."

Seeing that the orcs were about to open their eyes, the human mage Khadgar immediately assumed the posture of a professional.

In a very elegant and prudent manner, he took off his gloves, revealing his fingers that already had age spots. He gently stroked the blade of the dagger in his hand, and slightly vibrated the weapon with his magic power.

A few seconds later, he said to Garona in front of him:

"This is a perfectly forged high-level magic weapon. Even in Dalaran, I have never seen many weapons as exquisite as it.

Moreover, the vibration of magic power told me that this elf sword should have been enchanted by dragon language magic. The power of nature surrounding the sword should be a blessing from the green dragon. "

"What's its name? What effect does it have?"

The orc asked.

As a result, Khadgar was brought down by the question, and the mage said embarrassedly:

"You are making things difficult for me, Garona.

How is it possible for treasure appraisal to directly know the name and origin of this weapon? I need to go back to the library in Dalaran and look through the information about the green dragon before I can possibly find the story about it. "

"Isn't your treasure appraisal skills too bad?"

Garona took the emerald green one-handed broad-bladed sword and played with it in her hand.

The balance was perfect, the blade was sharp, and the weight was appropriate when swinging, which made her very satisfied. However, when he put the sword on his waist, the orc said disdainfully to the human mage in front of him:

"My pirate friend also knows the art of treasure appraisal. If he touches anything with his hands, he will know the name, origin and effect. That is the real treasure appraisal skill.

What you do is best called identification. "

"I don't believe it."

Khadgar snorted very proudly, raised his head and said:

"What you said is not magic at all. There is no such kind of treasure appraisal in the world! Even Medivh can't do it. You must have been deceived by your pirate friends.

Let me tell you, there are a lot of bad people out there, especially those stinky pirates, they are the best at lying.

Don't stay with him for too long in the future, that liar will lead you astray. "

Garona laughed in a strange tone, ignored Khadgar's complaints, grabbed the strange rein in her hand and stroked it. She felt that this thing seemed to be a magic item.

As for the mage Khadgar, his attention was attracted by what was found in the remains of another black knight.

That's a crystal.

Irregular in appearance, but crystal clear, it is very big, about the size of a fist. If you get it in Northern Xinjiang, it will definitely make the noble ladies scream loudly.

But this crystal is very strange. When Khadgar placed it in front of his eyes, through the faint light, he could see the green smoke lingering in the crystal.

It's like ink dripping into water, spreading like smoke.

The mage tried to inject magic power into the crystal, and the strange smoke beat faster, as if it was forming some kind of roaring monster.

"Dream... subverting... the will of the abyss... marching... the nightmare is coming... warning... darkness..."

A faint whisper sounded in Khadgar's ears.

It was not a human language, but this moment made the mage, who was only one step away from the legendary realm, drowsy, as if he would fall into coma the next moment.

"Snapped"

Garona's curled fingers struck Khadgar's forehead hard, waking him up from the call of his dream.

The moment the human mage regained consciousness, he threw away the green crystal in his hand. His forehead was covered with sweat. He said in a serious tone:

"This crystal! There is something wrong with it. There is a huge will inside. It speaks dragon language! And it has the power to communicate with dreams. It is definitely not a mortal creation.

It should be related to the Emerald Legion.

Where on earth did these Black Knights find it? "

"I have no idea."

Garona took out a piece of animal skin from her bag, threw it on the crystal from a distance, wrapped it through the animal skin, and looked at the elf sword at her waist.

she says:

"But it must come from the same place as this sword. You also said that these black knights will only look for real treasures. Things that can be cursed by the dark gods and considered treasures must have extraordinary origins.

Do you want to throw this thing away?

still…"

"It must be brought back to Dalaran."

Khadgar stood up, very cautiously threw a sealing spell at the crystal in front of him, then took it in his hand and put it into his pocket.

He looked at Karazhan in the distance and said to the orc assassin:

"There is another thing I must tell you. Any treasure touched by the Black Knight will be marked with a curse. No matter where you go, it will be sensed by the Black Knight.

They will take back the treasure, no matter the cost. "

"Not afraid."

Garona waved her hand and said:

"If the Black Knights are this strong, they won't be able to catch me no matter how hard they come. What's more, my pirate friends will definitely get more. If they want to chase me, they will chase him first."

"It's not that simple. This curse was released by Sargeras through Medivh's hand."

Khadgar shook his head and explained:

"The Black Knights are forced to chase treasure. They must collect enough treasure to find peace of soul. If they never get it, the curse will strengthen.

While torturing them, it will give them greater strength.

Do you get me?

The more treasures you take away from them, the stronger their revenge will be. Sargeras may just be playing a cruel joke on them.

But the jokes of the dark gods are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

I estimate that if some more are taken away, the power of these black knights may exceed the legendary... The stalkers composed of nine immortal legends, do you think you can still resist them? "

Garona's expression changed, but she still didn't care much. She touched the sword in her hand and said:

"My pirate friend must have a way. If he dares to rob the Black Knight, he must have a complete plan. Let's go and have a look in their cellar.

If there are any treasures there, take them all. "

"You're crazy!"

Khadgar felt that all his explanations just now were explained to the dog.

He was about to stop him when he heard Garona say helplessly:

"I owe him a favor, and that feels bad. I have to find a way to pay it back, so that he doesn't blackmail me into doing something dangerous with the favor in the future.

The last thing he did was to fight the Hell Vanguard Army of Hell Queen Hela, and played with several Loa gods along the way... Khadgar, you have to understand my situation.

Don't touch those cursed objects. I will take them. After a while, I will send them to Ravenholdt through Ravenholdt's channels. "

Garona snapped her fingers, showed a "planned" expression, and said:

"Just think of it as a 'gift' for him to become a master assassin and establish his own faction. He will definitely be very happy."

"Your friend is not stupid."

Khadgar felt that the Orc Assassin was thinking too simply, he said:

"He knows these are cursed objects, so why would he accept them? This is not repaying a favor at all. You are causing trouble for him."

"No, no, you don't know much about him, my sweet, stupid Khadgar."

Garona stretched out her fingers and touched Khadgar's chin. She said meaningfully:

"Believe me, a greedy person like Blake will only think that what I give is too little. He always has a way to turn crises into opportunities. He is such a magical man

As amazing as you are. "
