Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Beholder, this is a very strange and rare demon.

Even among the Burning Legion, their number is very small, and they often undertake very important missions of guarding, reconnaissance, and tracking.

These guys have weird looks.

To briefly describe them, they are squid-like intelligent creatures with multiple eyes that float in the air.

Their head is their body, like a large ball of flesh wrapped in tough skin, with a hard crown on their forehead and top of their head.

There are gills on both sides of the body, and more than 10 tentacles on the lower part.

The big beholder in front of Blake was obviously old. Its skin had grown tough green and black horns over a long period of time.

There are two rows of fangs and seven eyes on the big face plate.

One of them is particularly large, occupying more than half of the front of the body, and the other six are smaller and distributed around the main eye.

These eyes can emit magical rays, and the properties of the magic emitted by different eyes are also different, but generally speaking, the longer the beholders live, the more types of magical rays they can emit from their eyes.

Fire, arcane, ice and so on are the most basic.

These guys can also master weird moves like poison rays, and the individual named Glazer in front of Black is more powerful than its kind.

It can unleash powerful eye-prismatic pulses and is very cunning.

Back then, when Blake was fighting against this guy in the dungeon, he would often perform the "blood bar disappearing technique" inexplicably.

It is one of the most powerful creatures imprisoned in the Watcher's Vault, and a much-coveted trophy for the pirates on their trip.

As a sorcerer, he once praised old Merry.

He said that he didn't bother summoning those coquettish bitch demons in the twisted void, and he wanted to find those rare and strange demons in the world of Azeroth to make a contract with.

This is not just a casual talk, Blake really has this plan.

Just like as a hunter, he caught a soul beast as his first battle pet and planned that the second battle pet must also be a soul beast. In these matters that others regard as trivial matters, pirates have extraordinary abilities. Persistence.

The process of warlocks recruiting demons to fight for them is like a card drawing game in Black's understanding.

Good-for-nothing warlocks like Evil Eye and Zarak would be very happy if they were lucky enough to summon a powerful demon to serve them.

In their poor knowledge and miserable careers, the "rarity" and "fashion value" of demon servants are not something they can pursue.

Mainly because I don’t have that condition.

The inheritance of warlocks does not form a professional and complete system like that of mages. Each specific demon summoning ritual and spell is the "secret tradition" of the warlocks.

With their cunning temperament, how could they casually teach others the precious knowledge that only they possess?

This caused a lot of trouble for Blake's "rare pet" collecting business.

But it doesn't matter.

The pirates have read the script and know how to cheat.

Just like the big beholder in front of you, in the current worlds of Azeroth and Draenor, there are basically no warlocks who can summon them, because the rituals used to summon beholders are very complicated.

The beholder race often migrates in the Twisting Void.

The location of the summoning ritual must be the destination to which they voluntarily travel. Without the cooperation of the beholder itself, summoning the creature is nearly impossible.

Knowing the history that Black knew, the first warlock in Azeroth to summon a beholder would have to learn this forbidden knowledge nearly thirty years later.

That undead sorceress Jubica Shattered Shadow is probably not weaned yet.

Therefore, the Pirates are destined to light up a special achievement today! ,

He wants to become the first warlock in Azeroth to contract a beholder!

Gee, this is a "full server achievement".

"Come on, sign a contract with me and become my summoned demon, Glazer. I will give you a new name, I will call you 'Dark Eyes'."

In the beholder's sealing hall, Black, who was wearing a red cloth eyepatch, carried his war scythe indifferently and walked past the large elven-style mirrors placed in a specific order and position.

There's nothing special about these mirrors. They break when hit with a fist.

But it was these fragile things, with the clever use of the watchers, that sealed the powerful demon in front of them in the cave for thousands of years.

The pirate waved the contract parchment in his hand and faced the Big-eyed Demon Glazer, who was suspended in mid-air and whose mouth was so big that he could swallow Blake in one gulp.

Using devilish language like a tape playing backwards, he said to the weak beholder in front of him:

"I will not promise you anything other than this new name. You will only exist as a commendable collection of my warlock career so that I can teach other useless warlocks a good lesson.

Let them open their eyes and take a closer look at what a real summoning master is.

I guess, being trapped in a pile of mirrors for thousands of years is a rough feeling, right? "

Blake put his hand on the nearest mirror, trying to push it out of position. This action caused the seven eyes of the beholder suspended in front of him to open at the same time.

But the pirate was just playing with it.

He didn't move the mirror, but let out a nasty laugh, raised his head, and "looked" at the beholder in front of him.

When the latter noticed the red strips of cloth on Blake's eyes, the dozen or so drooping tentacles suddenly twitched. Perhaps this represented the fear and wonder floating in its heart.

Apparently, it recognized the origin of the eyepatch.

"Serve a pirate with great origins and ambitions?"

Big-eyed Demon Glazer's muddy voice, as if there was a piece of cloth stuffed in his throat, sounded in the pirate's mind through a kind of spiritual contact. These guys have sharp teeth and mouths, but they basically don't use this organ to speak.

In that strange tone, it said to Blake:

"This is indeed a strange experience that I have never had before. I have been trapped here for too long. I am sick of this hell made of mirrors. I hope you can take me away, and for this, I am willing to serve you.

But before that, I want to ask.

Can you bring me more knowledge and insights? "

This question from Big Beholder did not surprise the pirates.

This is the characteristic of beholders.

They are creatures in the endless darkness. Witnessing everything they see around them and recording what they see is part of their growth as a beholder.

The beholders are eager to witness various spells, all kinds of novel knowledge and insights.

This is a deep longing.

They will even voluntarily serve the summoner in exchange for the opportunity to absorb new types of magic. This is how the Burning Legion absorbed beholders into their own camp.

"I told you, I didn't intend to promise anything to you, the big beholder, when I came here today."

Blake threw the contract parchment in his hand into the shadow under Glazer's huge body. He looked at the battle scythe and used ghost vision to observe the flow and changes of the evil energy in the big-eyed demon in front of him, and said:

"As for whether your career after becoming my contracted devil will be exciting, and whether it will satisfy your shameful thirst for knowledge, you have to judge for yourself.

After all, I've given you the most precious gift a pirate can give.

I will release you from this ridiculous mirror hell. Look, I have given you the most precious freedom. What else do you expect? Are you a little too greedy? "

"Well, it seems my new master is a shameless warlock with a wicked sense of humor."

Glazer, the big-eyed demon, responded with his weird mental communication:

"I have a hunch that the next period of following and serving you will be an experience worth recording. Then, please take me away from this monotonous hell.

My master. "

It said so.

He put a tentacle hanging low under his body into his sharp-toothed mouth, biting it, and dripped the flesh and blood wrapped in evil energy onto the contract parchment in the shadow beneath him.

The contract is reached.

As the parchment was ignited by the sparks of evil energy, Blake's character card interface and the warlock professional skill column also had a spell to summon the beholder Glazer.

"Go, go back to the Twisting Void and find my other two servants. Let Cliflan and Daglop hunt down some weak waste for you to eat and nourish your weak body."

The pirate raised his left hand and dismissed Glazer, who had become a contracted demon in front of him. As the evil magic in his body spread, a crack leading to the twisted void appeared behind the Big Eyed Demon.

Blake said to it again:

"By the way, give me a message for my treacherous and shameless little devil Daglop, and ask him for me.

Why hasn't the demonic treasure from that big Eredar that it promised me when it killed its enemy Shalazane not been delivered to me yet?

Could it be that my 'loyal' little devil servant is planning to secretly swallow up my share of the treasure? No way? It shouldn't have such arrogant ideas, right?

It may not understand what a bad act it is to rob a pirate of his treasure.

So, you can 'supervise' it for me.

I helped it kill its enemy, and I want my share of the reward. As I said before, I want 80% of the demon treasure left by Sharazane! "

"Of course, I will be happy to recover the loot for you, the master of my shameless robbery of servant treasures."

The big-eyed demon Glazer suspended his huge and strangely soft body. With the waving of his tentacles, he stretched his body like a giant octopus swimming in the sea and disappeared into the evil energy rift.

"boom"

Watching his servant leave, the pirate grinned and hit the mirror behind him with his bodyguard. With a clear cracking sound, the mirror exploded with spiderweb-like cracks in an instant.

After losing the sealed object, this carefully designed mirror cage has completely lost its meaning.

"Ah, thank you for your gifts, Watchers. I will always remember your generosity."

Black carried the war scythe, wore a very textured Warden cloak, and hung the Shadow Moon Blade around his waist. While walking outside the sealing room, he said to the empty sealing hall in Salas language:

"I promise I won't rob you again, well, at least until this cage is refilled with fun prisoners, I won't rob you again.

I swear!

Well, God bless you, the mess here is all caused by the bad guys Nightborne and Naga. The vicious and cruel Ms. Maiev, please don’t come after me.”

"Captain! We found something amazing nearby! Come and take a look."

After Blake walked out of Glazer's sealing hall, the skinny boy Kanrisade ran over carrying his Jordan robe and shouted to Blake excitedly.

Pointing to the sealing room across the hall, he danced and said:

"It's a giant! A real giant! A flaming giant. Evil Eye said that before he became a warlock, he learned some shamanic traditions. He very confidently told me that what was sealed there was an elemental lord."

"You damn elemental lord, listen to his nonsense.

There are countless elemental lords in Azeroth, and they serve the four kings. The one locked here is just a more powerful fire elemental general. "

Blake snorted and "looked" around the hall again.

With his keen senses, he noticed that the pirates under his command were carrying large boxes of supplies and transporting the loot to the Nagfar through the portal maintained by the spider elves.

"Tell them to retreat immediately."

The pirate said to Canrezad:

"After this batch of things has been transported, don't come again. If you can't take the rest with you, I guess Maiev may be back soon. After taking care of the elemental general, we must retreat immediately.

Has your new demonic contract arrived? "

He "looked" at Kanrezad and asked. The skinny boy nodded and said happily:

"I contracted a fear demon, a demon guard, and a succubus. Unfortunately, the destroyer witch was preempted by the dog Zarak.

Phew, I obviously saw it first. "

Kanrisad stamped his feet angrily.

But Blake shook his head and said in a subtle tone:

"It's a good thing, little Canrisade, you are growing. One succubus is enough for you, but you can't control a wild demon like the Witch of Destruction.

Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore, don't look at me with that look, it seems that your adolescent education has to be put on the agenda.

Well, I'll have to take you to the tavern in Kul Tiras some other time. "
