Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Black asked the old lich to "check up" Windrunner's mother.

This is very necessary.

Old Merry is the person who knows the most about the power of death among all the pirates, except Bwonsamdi, and Mother Windrunner is Black's chief retainer.

It is also the most powerful weapon among the current undead pirates, but her health must be guaranteed.

This process took several hours, so the pirates and Little Star chatted with Khadgar in the castle of Tirisfal Council. After little Jaina and Ellie finished their homework, they also joined the "story meeting" "middle.

Listen to the thrilling story of their fight against the corrupted Ursoc in Northrend, told from a first-person perspective by Little Star.

Little Xingxing, a drama queen, could even write exaggerated notes in the diary she read to herself. She was naturally good at telling stories. The two girls who heard it exclaimed repeatedly, and even Khadgar was attracted.

As a witness to the "demigod incident", Blake did not join in.

The main reason was that what Little Xingxing said was exaggerated, and that kind of flattery made his cheeks turn red.

He is currently searching for things in the hall, using elemental emblems to transform those magical grimoires into air coins. Anyway, the importance of these grimoires lies in the knowledge recorded on them. It does not matter whether they are blessed by magic or not.

It is priceless knowledge and does not need such fancy embellishments.

While he was happily searching, the magic vibration in the hall reappeared.

This time it was Blake's butler Moros who came over. Wearing a mask, under Jaina's curious gaze, he walked up to the pirate and whispered something to him.

The face under the hood of Black's cassock immediately became serious.

The ship carrying Lothar and Varian Wrynn was approaching Southsea Town. The important person who caused the turmoil in Northern Xinjiang will arrive in Dalaran tomorrow at the latest.

In addition, Ravenholdt's eyes near Dalaran have also become active.

According to the reconnaissance conducted by Moros overland, as well as reports from a group of Uncrowned Ones commanded by Red Jack who were deployed near Dalaran in advance, there are signs of at least five Assassin Masters' factions being mobilized.

The purpose of the action is unclear.

"If they can assassinate Lothar before he arrives in Dalaran, I think there is still some hope."

Blake put down a grimoire in his hand that had dissipated the magic power, and said to Moros:

"If you want to assassinate Dalaran in this situation, it will be a dead end unless someone like the 'Duke' comes in person."

"Impossible, Master."

Moros said softly:

"We in Nanhai Town can see very clearly that there are at least three legendary guards around Lothar. He is also a legendary warrior himself. The assassin masters are not reckless, and they will not choose to take action at this time."

"Yes, this cannot be solved by simple assassination from the beginning."

The pirate picked up another grimoire wrapped in magic and said:

"I'm really looking forward to what kind of shit they can do."

"What about us? Master."

Moros asked again:

"Red Jack said that he has been 'asked' by many of his peers in the past few days, which faction should we Uncrowned Ones join?"

"We only have such a small number of people, and we can't do 'big things' even if we want to."

The pirate chuckled lightly and said:

"Let's wait and see what happens. Let Jack not rush to mobilize the elves of Aruin to come to Dalaran. They are too eye-catching and continue to do Alterac's things.

Stay calm and wait for my call. "

"Um."

Moros nodded and left quickly in silence as he had come.

"Brother's entourage is so mysterious."

Little Gianna, who was listening to the story, took a sneak look at Blake who was doing bad things there. She touched the beautiful Hailstone hanging around her waist. This magic sword perfectly matched her magical properties, which made the little princess happy.

Getting gifts is secondary.

The main thing is that her brother still remembers her in his heart, which is enough to satisfy the little girl, although it is a bit regretful that he can't come to Dalaran to meet his father.

But things have to be done step by step.

Well, speaking of father.

Except for the secret meeting with him when he first came to Dalaran, he didn't know where he had gone these past few days. Maybe he was fooling around in the tavern again?

Alas, my father’s character is really troublesome.

"Huh? Where is Mr. Black?"

Ellie, who was enjoying listening to the story, turned around and exclaimed. Little Gianna raised her hand and said:

"Isn't he right there? Where are the others? They were there just now!"

Blake, who was searching for things a second ago, has mysteriously disappeared.

The two girls looked at each other in confusion, and Little Xingxing was not satisfied with the interruption of the rhythm of the story. She picked up the teacup on the table to moisten her throat, and then curled her lips and said:

"The captain is so annoying, he's so elusive. He doesn't want you to know where he is, so you'll never see him. Hey, little old man, I heard you had a fight with the captain just now?

You are very brave. Did you know that the captain has beaten several legends?

He definitely didn't mean to fight you, otherwise you would have died long ago. "

"I don't think so."

Khadgar rolled his eyes and said:

"How about calling me Khadgar? I may not be able to defeat your captain, but it's not a big problem if I teach you a lesson, little blue dragon."

"You dare to teach me a lesson?"

Little Star said dissatisfied:

"My respected mentor Blue Moon is in Dalaran right now, and I am her favorite disciple. If you touch me with one finger, you will be finished.

Does Nathalas Academy understand?

That is a famous school that has been around for thousands of years. It is so much better than yours in Dalaran.

The captain and I are the mentor's most valued disciples. Do you want to debate the ways of arcane magic? Having finished two hundred papers, I am not afraid of you in terms of theoretical knowledge.

Whoever loses, do the other person a favor, okay? "

Princess Blue Dragon blinked her beautiful eyes and dug a hole calmly. She then looked at the two little girls beside her and said:

"You two have been studying with Master Merry for so long, so you must have a lot of magic knowledge. Do you want to challenge the tradition of our Narthalas Academy?"

"What tradition?"

Little Gianna asked curiously.

Little Xingxing liked this cute doll-like girl very much. She touched Jaina's hair, took out a stack of magic test papers from her magic bag, and placed it on the table.

He said proudly:

“Of course it’s the homework part.

Come on, come on, take fifty pieces each, don't be polite. We compete. Whoever completes the most and makes the fewest mistakes within an hourglass period wins.

Fair enough, right? "

As she spoke, Little Xingxing also took out her Ursok Beast Tooth Sword and placed it on the table. She stroked little Amygosa who was sleeping soundly on her shoulders, and said to the other three:

"My sword has been authenticated by the captain. It is a true legendary item. I named it 'Usoc's Wisdom', so let's use it as a bet."

"Just come."

Khadgar touched the magic sword, took out a magical violet emblem from his arms and placed it on the table. He took fifty papers from Little Star and said:

"This is a battle of wisdom, and it doesn't mean that I am bullying the weak. I am Medivh's apprentice, and I know a little bit about all the weird magic theories in the world."

"Stop talking nonsense, are you ashamed?"

Little Xingxing sarcastically gave the other test papers to the two girls, and used magic to create an inverted hourglass from her arms. The four of them lay on the long table in the hall and began to write the magic test papers quickly.

A few minutes later, the old lich who was examining General Lyressa came out to get an instrument. He glanced down and saw four guys writing furiously.

That serious energy made the old lich very satisfied, and his cold face became happy.

Not bad.

Such seriousness is the attitude you should have when studying magic! It seems that this little blue dragon princess is a good child who can lead people around her to learn together.

Admitting her to the council was indeed a good choice.

With such new friends, he finally doesn't have to worry about little Gianna and little Ellie's schoolwork.

The old lich moved gently and did not disturb the four people's writing. He thought in his heart:

To think that a pirate as stubborn as Black could be trained by Dean Blue Moon to become a qualified, excellent and powerful warlock. Well, the teaching tradition of Nathalas Academy seems to be very promising.

I will have to have a good exchange with Dean Lan Yue on my thoughts as an educator some other time.

Both of his disciples are very talented and must be well educated to become talents.

——

"yawn"

Black was walking on the streets of Dalaran when he suddenly sneezed.

The malicious thoughts coming from the pirates made him feel that there must be bad guys speaking ill of him behind his back. Hey, there are so many bad people in Dalaran. It's such a nasty place.

With this in mind, he planned to go find Fenna, confirm Dai Lin's current location, and put a mark on him, just like hanging a bell around a cat's neck.

To avoid encountering him unexpectedly during future activities in Dalaran.

However, while walking through the Magic Commercial Street, Blake suddenly saw a familiar figure from behind, a tall and thin human mage, holding some newly purchased spell-casting materials in his hand, with a cat lying on his shoulder.

Oh, isn't this Mr. Ke?

Out to walk the cat again.

A strange smile appeared on Black's face under the hood of his cassock.

He looked around, hid by the alley, coughed a few times, pinched his fingers lightly, and threw a dart of shadows towards the cat on Kel'Thuzad's shoulder not far away.

"Um?"

The high-level mage who had just finished shopping and was about to go back to the mage tower to continue his hard training reacted quickly. He took out the wand from his waist and tapped it lightly in front of him. A small arcane enchantment was applied to the sleeping cat.

Let the shadow darts thrown over be absorbed like stones on the water.

This dart is not very powerful.

Even if Mr. Bigglesworth is hit, it will not be hurt, at most it will be frightened. But this still made Kel'Thuzad turn around with anger, intending to see who had pulled this prank on him.

Then he saw a figure curling his fingers at him and disappearing at the edge of the alley behind him.

The high-level mage's heart moved.

He hesitated for a few seconds, then followed.

This alley is not deep, but it is right between the Magic Commercial Street and the Lucky Fountain. Today, because we have to receive a delegation from Nathalas College, the flow of people here is a little deserted.

When Kel'Thuzad walked deep into the alley, he saw the guy wearing the Corruptor's robes and a skull decoration on his chest. He didn't look like a good guy. He was leaning against the wall with his arms folded and whistling boredly. .

"Why did you attack my cat?"

The high-level mage asked in a bad tone. Judging from his appearance, he would use his magic at any time to beat up this bastard who was provoking casually.

"The momentum is pretty good, much better than last time."

The pirate grinned, and the Eye of Kilrogg on his shoulder moved up and down. The opening and closing eyes finally locked onto the shopping bag in Kel'Thuzad's hand.

Under the full-covering hood, where only a shadow could be seen flowing, he said angrily:

"Perhaps learning necromancy secretly gave you a feeling of being powerful? Do you want to summon a skeleton or something to scare me? Kitten Man?"

"It's you!"

This unique, contemptuous title made Kel'Thuzad react quickly. The man dressed as a warlock in front of him was the evil guy who beat him up in Dalaran last time.

"What about necromancy? You, an outsider, don't understand the rules of Dalaran, so don't slander me casually."

Kel'Thuzad immediately became alert.

While using arcane magic to block the exit of the alley, he took out his staff and said in a cold tone:

"The study of necromancy is absolutely prohibited in Dalaran!"

"I know that the ruler of this city likes to ban this and that to show his 'majesty'. For the mages of the Arcane School, this is a pure pursuit.

But for spellcasters who are interested in other schools of thought, this is a disaster. "

Black had no intention of taking action. He spread his hands and said to Kel'Thuzad as if complaining:

"For example, a warlock like me is treated like a rat in this city. If I learn warlock magic here, the Violet Prison will be my only destination.

Same for you, Kitten Man.

You finally realize that your talents lie outside the realms of fire, arcane, and ice. You have chosen the right path, but you have chosen the wrong place. Staying here will only hinder your 'academic research'.

They may throw you into the Violet Prison and charge you with a weird crime. Of course, your mentor is Antonidas, which is always a bit privileged.

Maybe being kicked out of Dalaran is where you end up. "

The pirate took something out of his arms and threw it to Kel'Thuzad.

His figure disappeared into the shadows, and before leaving, he said:

"Have you heard of Ur? The archmage who was expelled from Dalaran. He died. He died a year ago. He died alone in his forest 'laboratory' and died quietly. Death is worthless.

Give it a change, Kitten Man.

The secluded and feudal Dalaran is not worthy of having a deviant genius like you, and our Narthalath Warlock School needs talents like you. "

Kel'Thuzad watched the pirate disappear and glanced down at the thing in his hand.

It was an invitation letter written in Salas. It was different from a student's admission invitation. The one in his hand was an "external tutor" invitation signed by Black himself.

The "openness" of its academic atmosphere can be seen in an academy that tolerates even sorcerers who are like street rats and allows them to establish sects.

Considering his current situation, to be honest, Kel'Thuzad was a little tempted.

But he is a rigorous person after all.

He didn't make a decision immediately. He stroked the kitten on his shoulder and thought:

There will be magic lectures and debates at Nathalas College in the next few days. Go and listen to them first to see how powerful this "famous school" is, and then make plans.
