Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Ms. Lilith Tsukigun has been very busy recently.

After her "lucky escape" returned to Suramar City after her last encounter, her fortune turned and she successfully became the political advisor to Grand Magister Elisande.

This is a quite prominent position. In the upper class society of Suramar City, a family that can obtain this position means that it has gained the trust of the Grand Magister and will directly participate in the management of the city's people's livelihood.

His power is equivalent to that of the regent of the human kingdom in the eastern continent.

It has to be said that Lilith Yuejun is a woman who is very keen on political affairs. At the beginning of taking office, she was aware of the Grand Magister's determination to integrate Suramar into the new world ten thousand years later, so she went along with it. .

First, we rectified the armaments in the city, vigorously reorganized several large workshops that provided weapons and equipment for the city guards, eliminated the incompetent ones, and promoted new craftsmen, so that the operational efficiency of the workshops was greatly improved.

On the condition of supporting the reconstruction of the Streis family, in exchange for part of the city's trade network under that family's rule, he made great efforts to track down internal corruption, and spent a month to hunt down a fortune for the Grand Magister. A considerable amount of military spending.

He also participated in the reconstruction of Astava Port, which was to be rebuilt into a military port that could accommodate warships.

Although the Nightborne fleet construction plan is still on paper.

These three small-scale reforms make Ms. Elisande very satisfied.

She relied more and more on this new advisor who could guess her own thoughts, and praised Lilith's talents in public several times.

Accordingly, more important work was transferred to Lilith, making Miss Yuejun very busy every day, and she went home later and later every day.

He constantly attends various gatherings, sometimes appearing in certain areas of the city, delivering speeches to nobles and people, and participating in part of the Grand Magister's "opening" plan.

He was even invited to select emissaries among the nobles for Ms. Elisande to travel to various regions in the world.

This kind of life is very tiring, but Lilith enjoys it even though she is tired. She seemed to be born for this kind of life, and the feeling of having power made her feel like a fish in water.

Tonight, Ms. Political Advisor returned home very late. Escorted by a team of elite magic swordsmen from the Dark Night Fortress, her luxurious magic chariot slowly returned to the manor.

His butler still brought several servants to greet the mistress at the entrance of the mansion.

Lilith carried a suitcase containing important documents, and with the help of the maid, she stepped off the magic chariot and covered her mouth with a hint of exhaustion and yawned.

She still smelled of alcohol and said to her housekeeper:

"I'll wash up first and then send the late-night snack to my study. I have to deal with some work. I won't have guests tonight. Don't let others disturb me."

"Okay, Master."

The housekeeper immediately went to prepare the instructions arranged by Lilith.

Five minutes later, the consultant lady was lying comfortably in her luxurious bathtub. The water temperature maintained by magic was rolling with steam, making Lilith, who had been working for a day, become lazy after lying in the water.

A sense of exhaustion crept into her heart, causing her to take a nap in the comfortable water. She woke up ten minutes later. With a lazy temperament, Miss Yuejun walked out of the bath, put on a towel, and walked out barefoot. Bathroom.

I vaguely saw a familiar figure sitting on the sofa outside the bathroom. Without thinking much, I said casually:

"Annares, do you want to take a bath too? The water is still hot. Come in quickly."

After saying that, Lilith picked up her pajamas and was about to put them on, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she suddenly woke up and looked back while covering her bath towel.

That’s right! She is indeed my sister!

Anares, who had been kidnapped by pirates for more than a month, was currently wearing her old clothes, sitting on the sofa, holding several documents in her hands and looking through them.

That was the work Lilith put in her suitcase to take home and deal with.

"Annares? Are you back? Ah, thank the gods."

Lilith's face showed genuine joy. She took a few steps forward with her bare feet, took her sister's arm, and wanted to pull her up from the sofa and give her a warm hug.

Poor Anares, she must have been frightened after being with the pirates for over a month.

She now needs comfort from her family.

"Did Thalyssra rescue you? I knew my friend was trustworthy, so I entrusted her with this."

Lilith spoke, but failed to pull her sister on the sofa.

She lowered her head in confusion, and saw the eyes of Anares looking up at her. They were still those beautiful eyes, but what shone in them was a light that made Lilith feel unfamiliar.

With a touch of coldness, a bit of sarcasm, and finally the helplessness and joy of seeing each other again after a long absence.

The eyes are very complicated.

"Thalissra did go to rescue me, sister. Your best friend's loyalty to her friends is very trustworthy, but she failed to fulfill her promise to you.

In fact, my coming back has nothing to do with her.

I fought for my own freedom. You can't imagine how I spent these days in the fleet, and I have no intention of explaining those hardships to you. "

Anaris held Lilith's wrist, pulled it down, and pulled her sister to the sofa, letting the bath towel wrapped around Lilith spread out, revealing her slender and slender body.

Lilith felt a little trembled when her dark skin was exposed to the air.

Especially what her sister said next made Miss Yuejun feel like she was struck by lightning.

"I came back on the captain's orders, sister."

The girl from Yue County took out a blood-stained elf gold coin from her pocket, placed it in front of her sister, and said:

"You 'lost' the token His Highness Black gave you, I helped you find it."

"I"

Lilith Yuejun was able to win Elisande's trust within a month, which proved that she was a very smart woman. She tasted something ominous from Anaris's expression and words.

Not caring about the way her love was revealed, she held her sister's hand and said in a deep voice:

"I didn't betray him!

I have been doing things according to his instructions this month. What happened to Talisa was just an accident. She is very strong and I can't hide the news from her.

I have been serving him, and I have earned Elisande's trust.

I do all this for you, sister.

I'm sorry that I left that ship that way and left you there alone, but trust me, Captain Black and I made a deal.

As long as I do things for him, you won't be harmed. "

"I know and I believe that you don't have to explain this to me, sister."

Anares sighed, put the blood-stained gold coin on the table at hand, and picked up the documents. She looked at the words on it and said softly:

"You don't have to worry anymore that I don't understand you.

Living outside Suramar for more than a month, I have learned a lot. I am no longer the stupid and rebellious little girl who did not understand the hardships of the world and responded angrily to the kindness of my family.

Now I can understand why my father wanted to pass on the position of head of the family to you instead of me.

I was really not qualified back then.

I know that you made an agreement with His Highness Black to protect me. I thank you for your devotion to me. Sister, the first thing I do when I come back tonight is to say thank you sincerely. "

She stretched out her hand to hold Lilith Yuejun's cheek that was very similar to hers, and said in a gentle tone:

"You are my only family, Lilith. Not only will you protect me, I will also do my best to protect you in the future. I will report everything you did in the city to the captain.

He has established an underground network for his followers in the city.

You don't have to take the initiative to find them, they will send people to contact you, and they will cooperate with you to complete many things. From now on, you will be on the bright side, and those followers will be on the dark side.

You will become the eyes of the undead fleet in Suramar City, observing and recording everything that happens in this city for His Highness. "

"What about you? Anarres?"

Lilith felt an ominous sense of separation from her sister's words. She held her sister's finger on her cheek and asked urgently:

"Won't you stay? Won't you stay with me? If you insist on leaving, then what's the point of doing this? I will still lose you!

You're already one of them, right?

While I was still persisting, you chose to give up. This shouldn't be the case!

This is not the tradition of the Yuejun family. "

"That's the second thing I have to say to you, my sister."

Anares stood up, took out a bottle of good magic wine from the wine cabinet outside the bathroom, took two more wine glasses, poured wine for himself and his sister, and put the wine glasses into her hands.

She raised her glass to Lilith and said:

"Goodbye, my sister, I will sail away tonight, but there is no need to be sad about my departure. In the past thousand years, I have been enjoying a life that can be seen at a glance.

For trivial stimulation, I lived a stupid and rebellious decadent life. I never knew what I wanted to do or what I wanted. I could only regard the better you as a role model and an enemy in my life.

He always makes things difficult for you and makes trouble for you, in order to gain a little sense of shame.

But those boring days have passed. During this more than a month of sailing, I have found my goal and I have made a new plan for my life.

I can finally walk out of the shadow you have brought to me. I will no longer be bound by the surname "Yuejun". I will leave the place of glory of my family and write in the endless seas that belong to Anares. , not the story of Yuejun. "

She clinked glasses with her sister.

In a clear voice, she said:

“When I return to my hometown from the waves of the sea with my legend, the family tree will also extend a new branch, and I will be worthy of the greatness left by my ancestors.

My story will also be a new beginning for the family tree.

I will be the Pirate King of the Nightborne.

Thousands of years later, children born in this city will fall asleep listening to my adventure stories, and countless young people will take me as their example and plunge into the blue sea of ​​plunder.

They will start their story imitating me.

What I will create is a history that is completely different from that of the Yuejun family in the past ten thousand years. I will be proud of it, and you will be proud of me.

Our family emblem is a flower and a sword.

Lilith, do you understand? This is fate. "

Anares drank the wine in her hand and said to her sluggish sister:

"You are the flower blooming in the glory of the family, and I am the sharp sword that cuts through the thorns. The twin sisters are destined to leave their names in history. We are no longer proud of our family's inheritance.

The name of Yuejun will shine again because of us. "

After a brief silence, Lilith also laughed. She poured the wine from the wine glass into her mouth gracefully, then looked at her sister, and finally at the blood-stained gold coins placed on the table.

She laughed dumbly and said:

"It seems that I have really underestimated my sister. You don't need me to intervene or worry about you to live well. Then go, Anares, and take the share that your father left for you. family property.

I will give you as much wealth as I can to support your career.

The first two things have been said.

It’s time to talk about the last thing.

Our Highness is not a pedantic and benevolent person. He once told me that he is a person who has a clear sense of grudges and grudges. I had involved Thalyssra in this matter, and my negligence and distrust had let him down once.

So, you are here tonight not only to say goodbye, but also to carry out punishment, right, sister? "

Lilith brushed her hair and stood up.

She opened her arms to Anarres and said:

"Come on, complete the task he gave you, and let me remember this mistake."

Anares Yuejun pulled out the black snake-shaped Devil's Strike from her waist and held the weapon that Black personally gave to her.

She walked up to her sister and hugged her tenderly.

The sharp blade opened a scar on Lilith's slender and naked lower back. The blood surged, making the consultant tremble in pain. The younger sister covered her mouth with her hand and placed the tiger's mouth on Lilith's teeth. middle.

"Let me share your pain, let me remember your lessons. Leave me a wound too. This is the bond between sisters. No matter where I go, when I see it, I will think of you.

Never forget”

Captain Yuejun said in his sister’s ear:

"Don't worry, I've grown up and I'm not afraid of pain anymore."

The next moment, Lilith, who looked pale, bit her sister's hand. As the dagger slid around her waist, Anares' hand was also bitten, and her sister's blood also flowed out.

This bizarre scene of punishment completely fell into the eyes of Blue Dragon Girl Little Xingxing, who was holding a few pieces of Anares' clothes and stared at this bizarre scene in front of the bathroom in stunned silence.

The plump little blue dragon on her shoulder also covered his eyes with his paws, not to look at the blood flowing down Lilith's body.

"Have you picked out your clothes and jewelry?"

Blake's voice suddenly rang in Little Star's ears, startling the blue dragon.

She looked back and saw Black's Eye of Kilrogg floating next to her. She snorted and said:

"I've chosen. I've chosen several boxes of jewelry, but the two of them..."

"That's not something you should worry about."

The pirate was also admiring the scene in front of him. His voice sounded from the vibration of the magic line of Kilrogg's Eye and said:

"As expected of an upper elf whose whole body is full of artistic cells, even the punishment for rebellion is so artistic. I really asked Anares to teach her sister an unforgettable lesson, but I didn't expect that she would do it in this way. realized.

But it’s not bad, Lilith will never make the same mistake again, and I also gained an ambitious and qualified captain, as well as a treasure of a ten thousand-year noble family.

It feels good to be a rich man again. "

"Go and clean up, little star. We have to leave here. It's time to set sail."
