Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 298 7. This is how grudges begin——[1235]

(Additional update for the assassin Gilu brothers [2/5])

Early the next morning, it was still rainy in Dragonbone Harbor, which perfectly proved that the country of Gilneas had a damp and cold climate that was absolutely unpalatable.

Queen Mia recovered well after resting overnight.

In order to capture her alive last night, the assassins left only skin wounds. After being rescued, they used a healing potion from Dalaran to quickly get rid of her weakness.

There will definitely be scars on the body.

But with King Jean's character, he might be even more excited to see his wife so brave.

The children were a little frightened last night and were still resting in the room. Her Majesty the Queen picked up the loose clothes sent by the servant from the bedside. After washing, she opened the door and walked out, and then went downstairs.

It would be early in the morning, it would be raining, and the bar business would be terrible.

The door was closed and the light was dim, but at the table against the wall, there was an assassin wearing black clothes, wearing a full-face leather helmet, and covering his face, waiting for her.

Queen Mia glanced at him, then took down a bottle of Desolate Land whiskey from the wine cabinet behind the bar, unscrewed the lid, poured herself a glass of wine skillfully, and added ice cubes.

She held up the cup, sat opposite the assassin, took a sip of wine with the fierceness unique to Gilnean women, and then said:

"Did I finish my commission last night?"

"It was done two hours ago."

Jack took out a bloody letter from his arms, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards the queen.

He said in a hoarse voice:

"The mayor of Dragon Bone Port is in Warehouse No. 15 in Crime Alley. Your Majesty can ask more from him. I am only responsible for finding out the employer. I will not participate in the subsequent political infighting.

Please forgive me. "

"From the time I was attacked to two hours ago, it took less than six hours to find out so clearly. It seems that Master Black really has elite soldiers and generals."

The queen put away the letter without opening it, but expressed appreciation.

Jack laughed inwardly when he heard this.

It’s so funny. There are currently no more than five assassins in the entire Uncrowned faction. But it doesn’t matter. Pretending to be a ghost is a must-have skill for high-level assassins.

So in the face of this praise, he responded with silence.

After a minute he said:

"Then, it's time to ask Your Majesty and the Prince and Princess to leave here. We still have to open the door for business. The master must have informed your Majesty of the rules here.

If you leak the secret, we will not accept any more commissions from you in the future. "

"Snapped"

Queen Mia took off the gorgeous jewelry from her neck, put it on the table, pushed it to Jack, and said:

"Now, I want to issue a second commission to escort me and my children back to my husband. He should be in the military port of Keel Harbor now. This commission shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"It's not difficult."

Jack glanced at the hidden sword barrel on his left hand. He pushed the jewelry back and said:

"But we don't accept escort missions."

"Um?"

The queen looked at the assassin in front of her in surprise. She took another sip of wine and said:

"Aren't you an assassin?"

"No."

Jack replied in a gentle tone:

"I am the Uncrowned One."

"What difference does it make?"

The queen asked again enthusiastically. Jack shook his head, stood up, covered his body with his cloak, and said:

“You’ll find out later.

The carriage in the tavern has been prepared in the backyard. Please ask Madam to drive to the military port in person. Don't worry, all the people who should not be present along the way have been cleared away. "

After speaking, Jack leaned slightly toward the queen, retreated into the shadows, and saw the assassin about to disappear. The queen stood up and asked:

"Is Master Black still there? I want to issue a commission to him, in the name of the Greymane royal family!"

"The master has left this place."

Jack's voice came out faintly as the shadows gathered:

"His time is very precious. There are currently no matters worthy of the master's attention in this country. Her Majesty the Queen's entrustment can be left to our second-rate colleagues.

I believe they will do a good job. "

——

"Gee, it feels so good to be back at sea."

On the outskirts of the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Gilneas, in the cabin of the Nagfar that was sailing quietly in the deep water, Black was sitting in his gorgeous and somewhat vulgar captain's golden chair.

He left Keel Harbor at dawn and took a rest in the reassuring cabin. He was now looking at the thick chart in his hand with great energy.

The cover of this thing is also marked "Top Secret Document of the Gilnean Navy", but the process of getting it by the ship's doctor, Ms. Natalie, is definitely not difficult.

In fact, it was the Commodore of Keel Harbor who personally handed this thing to Ms. Natalie when the chaos occurred last night.

The mind control used by the shadow priest who specializes in playing with the mind is so magical.

"This biting reef is really troublesome."

The pirate was checking the marks on the chart. Sephiel was floating behind him, looking down at it carefully, but she was just a layman watching the fun.

It is difficult to understand things like nautical charts without professional study.

"It is almost all over the entire Gilneas coastline. Only the Shipwreck Strait where Dragonbone Harbor is located is not affected. If external forces want to intervene, they can only take that sea route."

Blake rubbed his chin and rubbed his fingers on the lines marked on the chart. After a few seconds, he said again:

"Either we can blow up this reef zone from under the sea, but this is basically impossible. The workload is too great, even the Kul Tiran fleet can't do it.

The purely natural defense line is a headache. No wonder there have been no rumors of pirates in Gilneas for hundreds of years.

Ordinary pirates simply cannot survive in such sea conditions. "

"So, Captain, are you giving up on Gilneas?"

Sephiel was confused by the chart in front of her and simply stopped looking at it. She hung beside Blake and asked softly:

“Although we cannot plunder the mainland of Gilneas, outside of the mainland, they also have several military ports on Zulred Island and Tidefall Island, which are also the home ports of their fleets.

If we can occupy those islands, we can blockade the entire Gilnean sea. "

"Of course those islands must be occupied, but not now."

Blake closed the chart in front of him, opened the desk drawer, and threw it in. He stood up, put on his pirate hat, walked out of the cabin, and said to Sephiel beside him:

“Let’s wait for us to develop for a period of time, go around the Northrend Sea, and turn it into our hunting ground, and then come back to plan those Gilnean military ports.

You have to pick a good time.

Once the kingdom on the eastern continent faces the threat of pirates, the Kul Tirans will definitely participate. This is their traditional way of 'promoting their national prestige'.

It would take a chance for the Kul Tirans to be entangled by other forces. "

As he spoke, the captain and the first mate walked out of the stern of the ship and came to the deck. Blake held the steering wheel with his free hand, glanced ahead at the bright sea water, and said:

"That should be Vasqir. According to the current sailing speed of the Nagfar, it will take half a day to get there.

Still not fast enough.

It seems that the dark wood of Drustvar is not strong enough to support my ship at its top speed. "

"Whoosh"

As soon as the pirate finished speaking, Ms. Lylitha Windrunner landed next to him in the form of a ghost shuttle. Black gave a slight salute to the Windrunner general.

After all, he is a mentor in name only.

"Your ship is already very fast. It can reach fifteen knots underwater, which is almost the cruising speed of the magic battleship of the Yangfan Fleet on the sea.

It can also submerge, which already surprised me. "

Windrunner's mother commands all the ranger troops in Quel'Thalas, and naturally knows a lot about her own navy's warships.

She looked at the shining sea water at the far end in front of her, and said to Blake next to her:

"I heard what you just said, can the speed of this ship be increased further?"

"Of course, the Naqfar is a legendary battleship and has unlimited potential."

With a hint of pride, Blake patted the steering wheel and introduced Windrunner's mother, who was now one of his own:

"As soon as I complete all the upgrades to my beloved ship, it will become the fastest ship on this plundering sea."

"But it has no weapons."

Ms. Windrunner hugged her shoulders and said to the point:

"Running fast is not a core advantage, my disciple. If you aspire to become the most fearsome pirate, then your ship must be equipped with fangs. In this regard, its advantage is also its disadvantage.

A ship that can submerge cannot use artillery, and it cannot even be equipped with a siege crossbow.

The weapons it needs may not exist in this world at all. "

"Yes, mentor. There are many strange and strange places in this world that even long-lived elves like you and legendary experts cannot know about."

Blake wasn't worried about that at all.

He waved his hand and said:

"I know very well where there are weapons that can be used by my Nagfar, but my schedule is too full and I don't have time to pick them up right now. Having said that, since we talked about the high elves' magic battleships,

Can the instructor reveal some information about Yangfan Fleet to me?

It also saves me from having to figure out how to get it myself. "

"cannot."

Windrunner’s mother decisively rejected the proposal. She said:

"I am willing to teach you because I owe you a favor.

This does not mean that I want to betray my country. With the current strength of your fleet, it is no match for the Sunsail Fleet at sea, so don't enter the territorial waters of Quel'Thalas, my disciple.

Although the Yangfan fleet was no match for the Kul Tiras fleet, it was by no means a group of pirates that could be bullied. "

This is said rudely.

The first mate, Pirate Dragon, clenched her fists. She couldn't bear to hear others say something bad about her ship.

But Blake waved his hand, not showing any anger.

He grabbed the steering wheel and slightly adjusted the direction of the submarine. In the pale halo reflected by the morning light on the water, the pirate said softly:

"I have no intention of provoking high elves recently, but I know that the country you protect will eventually face disaster. You have things you shouldn't have.

That is a source of disaster that you will never let go of.

high elf

Huh, a group of poor people who are terminally ill and unable to extricate themselves do not need me to spend time to deal with them. "

A few hours later, the Nagfar officially entered the waters of Vashjir, but instead of heading towards this incredibly bright seabed, the ghost ship floated up.

Entering the sea from underwater, it started to sail on the endless sea like a normal ship.

Soon, it was close to the location of Blake's fleet.

The huge Alpaca and the four merchant ships escorting it could be seen in the distance, but as they got closer, the Windrunner lady beside Black suddenly put her hand on the pirate's shoulder.

She said in a deep voice:

"Your ship is under attack, it's the naga! They're attacking your crew from under the sea. There are so many of these deep-sea moccasins."

"many?"

Blake shook his head, took out the bow image of the Nagfar, and communicated with the ship's spirit. After a few seconds, the cold, thick gray fog quickly spread toward the sea with the Nagfar as the center.

"Teacher, I haven't fought for a long time since your death. Are you interested in hunting down a few Nagas to get a feel for it?"

The pirate handed his hurricane hunting bow to Mother Windrunner.

The latter took the hunting bow with a look of disgust, threw it in his hand and said:

"It's far worse than what I've used before, but... hunting Naga, right? It's quite interesting. There are still some unresolved grievances between us high elves and these upper elves."

"What a coincidence."

Blake held the war scythe and put the Night Slayer war helmet on his head. He said:

"As a Kul Tiran, I also have a small 'conflict' with Her Majesty Queen Azshara that needs to be resolved. But I am well aware of Her Majesty's arrogant nature.

A person like her wouldn't bother paying attention to a little pirate.

So, let's take a stab at her servants who don't know what they are called. Maybe when I kill enough Nagas, the arrogant Queen will be willing to have a 'talk' with me. "
