Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"You really know!"

When the old blue dragon Senegos joked about hiring an undead fleet, Black reacted.

He was not afraid of Senegos, who was lying like a mountain in the magic pool in front of him. He put his hands on his hips and shouted loudly:

"I knew that our commotion here could not be hidden from a local snake like you. You have deeply connected your power with the magic network of this land, and nothing that happens here can be hidden from you."

"It's not as powerful as you said, let alone as powerful as you thought."

The powerful old blue dragon seemed to have a gentle temperament. It said to the pirates with great interest:

"I got inspiration from the way the magic princes of the Elf Empire draw the power of the magic network. On the land of Azsuna, I can be temporarily strengthened by the support of the magic network.

I can definitely detect a lot of things, but I can’t know everything.

For example, I can't leave the Bluewing habitat, and my descendants are not many in number. Sending them to expel the Nightborne may cause damage.

After all, those mana thieves also know how to extract the magic power of the underground magic network to strengthen themselves. "

"Ha, Lord Senegos, you don't want your heirs to suffer casualties, but aren't the lives of my incompetent men life?"

Blake snapped his fingers and said:

"As the leader, I have to consider and be responsible for them."

At this point, he changed his tone and said:

“But as pirates, sudden death in battle is also a professional risk for us.

Why should you be a pirate if you are afraid of danger?

If Lord Senegos can give us some soothing, golden treasures, we wouldn't mind spilling our blood in this wild land. "

"The Blue Dragon Legion has paid for this money!"

Before the old blue dragon could express his position, Eldagosa raised his hand and said:

"Mortal wealth is of no value to dragons, but my people occasionally collect some treasures to decorate their lairs. If all you ask for is gold, silver and jewelry, Kaudala has a lot.

You will definitely be satisfied.

Since my people live in Azsuna, it is the blue dragonflight's responsibility to ensure their safety and comfort. "

"Very good, we'll take this job. Within ten days, we'll make sure that no more Nightborne will mess around here on the land of Azsuna."

Black doesn't care who pays, as long as he gets paid.

The old blue dragon Senegos had no objection to this arrangement. Azsuna was outside the boundaries of civilization. When the blue dragons arrived, it was already in ruins.

It's also difficult for them to collect treasures and the like here.

"But, Lord Senegos."

The blue dragon girl turned her head again and said to Senegos, an old Buddhist blue dragon:

"Your idea of ​​holding a backup place for the Blue Dragon Legion is noble, and I can't persuade you to change your mind. But I just saw that there are many unhatched dragon eggs in the Blue Wing habitat.

You know, when the newborn dragon hatches out of its shell, it needs a large amount of magic power to ensure its healthy growth. The power of Azuna's magic net is very violent and is not suitable for the hatchling.

I would like to ask that you send these dragon eggs to Cowdara, where our people will take good care of them.

Now our numbers have reached an endangered level, and every dragon egg that can hatch into a young dragon is extremely valuable. I would also like to invite one or two of your descendants to accompany me to Caudala.

Meet with His Majesty Malygos at the Demon Nexus and explain Azsuna's situation to him.

This is necessary, my lord.

Although we are thousands of miles apart, we come from the same origin after all, and we should not continue to be divided. "

"This request is very reasonable, Lord Senegos."

The pirate also spoke up and said:

"Although you and Lord Malygos have some ideological disputes, the blood bond of brothers is a bond that cannot be broken. You can live without contact with it until death.

But the younger generations should always be allowed to walk away from each other.

What I mean is that the divisions of your generation should end in your generation, and don’t leave the grudges to your descendants. If something happens to Azsuna in the future, won't you still have to rely on the help of the Blue Dragon Legion?

Relatives should move around more often to prevent the relationship from becoming estranged.

Besides, are you still worried that your heirs will be bullied by the blue dragons there if they go to Cordala?

No, they will definitely welcome the return of their clansmen with the highest standards of treatment.

After all, Kaudala is the holy land of the blue dragons, as well as the Wyrmrest Temple and so on. They are all "big cities" in the eyes of the dragons.

Country boys should also go and learn more about it, lest they become frogs in a well like the children of the night in Suramar after ten thousand years of isolation. "

As he spoke, Black glanced at Eldagosa, who immediately understood.

He puffed up his chest and promised in a serious tone:

"Yes, Lord Senegos. Your descendants were born here. They have never seen the scenery of the Demon Nexus, and they have never gone to Wyrmrest Temple to meet other dragon kings.

This will severely limit their knowledge and make them ignorant of the rules of the five-color dragon army.

There is also the threat of the Dragon Soul.

You may not know that the red dragon queen, Alexstrasza, has been imprisoned by the evil orcs for several years, and the red dragons have been discussing how to rescue their queen.

The green dragon has also responded, and we blue dragons should also participate. This is a major event for the dragon clan. Should the Blue Wing Habitat stay out of it? "

The words made Blake blink.

He got a very important piece of information from the blue dragon girl's words, but he didn't make it public. Senegos, who was lying in the magic pool, hesitated for a few seconds, seemed to be thinking, and finally nodded.

it says:

“Then let my granddaughter go with you.

My other heirs have important tasks in the Blue Winged Habitat, and my little star really should go out to see the world, and then come back ready to inherit the duties of the queen of the Blue Winged Habitat.

Perhaps she could gain some valuable experience and teachings from her other elders.

But you must keep her safe! "

"No, Grandpa!"

Eldagosa looked delighted and was about to answer when she heard a rejection coming from behind. She turned around and saw her grandfather's favorite granddaughter, Little Xingxing, flashing towards her carrying a large bag of things.

The little princess shouted to her grandfather like a spoiled child:

"I received an invitation to enroll at Narthalas College, grandfather! I'm not going to some magic hub to meet that stubborn Spellweaver. I'm going to school at the Magic Academy.

Ms. Elya Blue Moon has already stated that she will teach me personally.

Haven't you commented before that Dean Lanyue is already a very powerful spell caster among mortals? I was able to learn valuable knowledge from her. "

"Um"

Senegos looked at his silly granddaughter, and then at the pirate Black next to him. The pirate turned his head away and whistled as if nothing had happened.

After a second, probably because there was a hint of suspicion in the old blue dragon's gaze, Blake stretched out his hand and explained:

"No! It's not what you think, Lord Senegos! Believe me, I didn't arrange this! In fact, I skipped classes and slipped out.

I was not a good student, and I had no idea my dean would leave that invitation.

If you know Dean Lan Yue, you should know that she is the kind of educator who values ​​knowledge very much and is unwilling to miss out on any ‘creatable talent’.

She probably has some kind of hopeless obsessive-compulsive disorder in this regard.

This really has nothing to do with me! "

"What does it mean?"

Little Xingxing looked at the silent grandfather, then at the pirate, and asked doubtfully:

"Does Dean Lanyue's invitation have anything to do with Mr. Black?"

"Yes, I have."

The pirate turned his head and looked at the little star up and down, and explained:

“Nathras Academy is moving.

I convinced the dean to move the academy to Tol Barad, an island off the eastern continent. The current temporary teaching space of the college is on my ghost ship.

If you want to join the academy, it means that you also have to temporarily join us and become a Blue Dragon Pirate. I already have a young dragon as my first mate, and you might be able to keep her company.

In addition, if you want to accept the dean's admission invitation, you will have to call me "senior" from now on.

I am also a student of the dean.

Although Dean Lanyue never said it, I know that in her heart, I am her most valued and favorite student.

Our dean is such a arrogant character, just get used to it. "

"Ah this."

Little Xingxing's eyes widened, looking at the human pirate in front of her who smelled of alcohol, and she asked belatedly:

"The note left by the dean said that she was able to escape from her tragic fate because of the help of a student. Could it be..."

"That's right, it's you!"

Blake whistled proudly and said;

"When Little Xingxing gets to know me, you will know that I am a very magical person. I have... eh?"

The pirate was mid-sentence.

He suddenly noticed a surge of magic power rising around him, as if a portal was about to open.

This caused the pirate to immediately grab the hilt of his sword and prepare for a surprise attack.

But in the next moment, Senegos, who was lying in the magic pool, waved his huge, crystallized claws and gently swatted the ground beside Black like a fly.

There was a loud bang.

Any fluctuations in magic power, opening of portals, or magical attacks were all smashed to pieces by this claw.

The old blue dragon retracted his claws and glanced at the ground that was completely shattered into a big pit.

It said to Blake:

“It seems there are a lot of people who want your head, Mr. Black.

You probably belong to the kind of person who is troubled, so when my granddaughter is studying with Ms. Lanyue, please stay away from her and keep your distance.

I'll pay extra for it.

Well, my brother Malygos will be happy to do it for me. "

——

Time goes back to five minutes ago.

At the junction of the lands of Azsuna and Suramar, there is a swamp delta formed by the impact of the sea water. It is very large and contains some sporadic murloc tribes, as well as a large area of ​​low wetlands.

This is the "forbidden zone" between the two places.

The nobles of the Nightborne who occasionally come out to hunt never come near here. The reason is simple. There are many magical hydras living in this swamp delta.

It's the legendary beast that was killed by Captain Grayson before.

The magical hydra here is a large settlement, and there may be "real" legendary creatures in it, but the hydra is a beast that is both savage and ferocious, and is too stupid to obey orders.

This results in very few hunters taking the initiative to tame them.

On the land outside the delta, a Shal'dorei vanguard army is marching. Each of them wears elegant magic armor, rides a mysterious purple magic saber, and carries the battle flag of the Children of the Night, heading into the wilderness. Where Azsuna advances.

This group of Shal'dorei Vanguards was not many in number.

But spellcasters account for a large proportion.

This is a unique tactic of the Shal'dorei. The caster opens a portal at the intended target and summons the elite legions waiting for work in Suramar City to rush into the battlefield.

This is a "leapfrog raid" tactic that only the children of the night with powerful magical power can afford.

The magic vanguard was led by Thalyssra, the chief arcanist who was deeply trusted by Ms. Elisande, and her two friends. When the vanguard stopped to rest and drink magic wine, the tower Lisa's little friend is having a tantrum.

"No! We must catch that nasty pirate!"

High-level arcanist Valtroy said angrily:

"He made me embarrassed. My favorite robe was soaked in water and I can no longer wear it. My mother left it for me. I have to try it again!"

"But you don't have a beacon in your hand."

The hooded chief teleporter Oculus dissuaded him coldly:

"They threw the enchanted silver coins made by Thalyssra into the trench. You can't pinpoint their location without positioning.

I won't risk it for you either. "

"No, Oculus, Valtroy's idea is right, we can try again."

Thalyssra, who had remained silent, took a sip of the magic wine.

She took something out of her pocket and placed it in front of her two friends. It was an exquisite gold coin with the image of Queen Azshara printed on it.

There was a slightly cold force wrapped around the gold coin.

The chief arcanist looked at the gold coins in his hand and said to the two friends:

"I got this from Lilith. It was given to her by that damn pirate leader. It has a trace of power connected to that pirate leader.

It can help us accurately locate the pirate leader.

We don't need to go to war, we just need to swoop in, capture him, move in and out quickly, and resolve the battle within a minute. Oculus, this sophisticated raid portal is something only you can control.

Let's try again. "

"It's too risky. You don't know what arrangements he will make, and that guy is very strong. Geniuses like Oruriel were defeated by him, and their confidence collapsed and they left the city."

Oculus shook his head steadily and said:

"I don't want to take any chances."

"No, that pirate is not that powerful. When we set off, I specifically asked the great astrologer, and he told me that the pirate used weird power to temporarily strengthen himself.

His own strength is not worth mentioning.

Try it once, just once! "

Valtroy gritted his teeth and said:

"If it doesn't work this time, we will admit it."

"just one time!"

Ocles hesitated for a moment, took the elf gold coin, and said:

"You can't continue to act like this! You are high-level arcanists of Suramar, not children dominated by hatred."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared the portal materials.

The chief teleporter is very strong in this aspect.

In just a few minutes, a temporary portal was set up. He glanced at Thalyssra and Valtroy, who were preparing for a raid, stretched out his hand to attract the power of the magic network, and activated the portal.

Arcane magic sparkles and swirls in the portal's outline.

In another second, it will open a portal leading to Blake's side. The pirate leader who is pretending to be a ghost will definitely panic, and then be beaten by the two of them.

"boom"

A loud noise came next.

The newly formed portal seemed to be forcibly destroyed by a huge force without reason. The terrifying magic power rolled back and hit the three unlucky guys who were caught off guard.

Just a small punishment.

The old blue dragon Senegos had no intention of killing them, but the out-of-control explosion of magic power still blasted a large crater with a radius of three to four meters on the spot.

"No!"

A miserable scream sounded from the bottom of the pit, with a touch of crying:

"Valtroy! Don't scare me, wake up!"
