Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 525 78. How I Met Your Mother【610】

In the Elf District of Dalaran, on top of a high tower dome not far from the mage tower where Prince Kael'thas resides, Daelin Proudmoore is enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea here.

His Majesty the King wore a white sailor's blouse and hunting breeches.

He didn't take much care of his hair, letting it hang loosely.

Beside the cowhide belt around his waist, hanging sideways was an ordinary naval knife with the symbol of the Kul Tiran Navy on it. This is the only weapon he has on him during his leisure time.

He didn't even bring his handy musket.

It seems that the place where His Majesty Dai Lin is now is a place where he can relax wholeheartedly, just like his home.

On the table before the old sailor lay an open bottle of golden rum.

There are also two exquisite elven wine glasses.

It seemed that he originally planned to drink with another person, but he probably couldn't control his alcoholic habits and drank most of the bottle before his "drinking buddy" came.

"Lothar has entered the city. I thought you would at least go to greet him. Isn't that why you came to Dalaran? Why are you hiding again?"

A very magnetic voice, accompanied by the rhythmic tapping of shoes on the ground, sounded in the main hall behind the balcony, and asked with a hint of sarcasm:

"When did His Majesty Proudmoore, who roamed the sea, turn into a coward hiding in a single old woman's house?"

"call"

Dai Lin touched his beard, drank the wine in the glass in his hand, raised the empty glass, shook it above his head, and said casually:

"I didn't plan to stay longer. I just discovered that there are many delicious treasures in my old friend's wine cabinet. Drinking three bottles a day is enough for me to stay here for two months.

As I said before, I won't leave until I finish drinking all those drinks. That old man Lothar won't give me good wine, it's enough for him to know that I'm here. "

"I'm going to smash that damn wine cabinet in a minute!"

Ms. Jin Jian, who was holding her arms behind her, turned colder. She maintained her elegant demeanor and said:

"So we can get rid of you, the old drunkard who has been hanging around. Look at you now. You no longer have the grace and grace you once had. You look like a dirty scoundrel."

"Geez, how can a lady do something like breaking things?"

Dai Lin stood up, bowed in an exaggerated manner, brushed her hair, rolled up her sleeves and said with a smile:

“I’m going to smash it now.

Then make dinner for our beautiful and noble Miss Jin Jian. Would you like to try clam chowder with red wine today? That's one of the few dishes I'm good at. "

"Queen Catherine Proudmoore might like it."

Mrs. Jin Jian sneered and said:

"But I have rather picky tastes, so I won't bother you. Pack your things and leave quickly! Finna has arrived in Dalaran and will come over at any time. I don't want her motherly image to be ruined."

"Is my daughter coming back?"

Dai Lin's expression suddenly showed a hint of expectant smile.

He looked at his attire and walked indoors, probably wanting to change into more formal clothes, but was stopped by Mrs. Jin Jian with a wave of his hand.

"Now is not a good time."

The magical councilor of Quel'Thalas whispered:

"She's not ready yet."

"No, she's ready."

Dai Lin held Mrs. Jinjian's wrist and said in a gentle tone:

"She knew you would see me in Dalaran, and you warned her to stay in Quel'Thalas, but she came here without hesitation. She knew who she would meet here.

Our daughter is a warrior.

Like me, she takes the initiative when faced with threats, and is brave and decisive.

If I run away like a coward now, it will destroy the image of her father in her heart. I would rather she fight with me than call her father a coward.

Gina, trust me. "

The Admiral stretched out his hand to hug the pouty Mrs. Jin Jian into his arms. The two of them no longer had the sarcasm and tension when they were joking. At this moment, they were like a couple they had not seen for many years.

Even though it was just a simple hug, there was no more intimacy.

But the affection between the two can still be seen.

"You don't have to worry. This is between me and the child."

Dai Lin gently patted Ms. Jin Jian's shoulder and let her bury her head in his arms, gently smelling the fragrance of the flowers in the hair of the lady in his arms, just like she did many years ago.

He comforted:

"It must have been hard for you to take care of her all these years. I know how vicious the elven nobles in Silver Moon City are, and you must have suffered a lot of grievances.

but me

I have missed this child's young years and failed to fulfill the responsibility of a father, being by her side to watch her grow. I gave all my love to other children, but failed to protect her from the wind and rain.

I once believed in a cruel view of education. I felt that only by having strict requirements can children grow up and become talents.

But after that incident, I realized I was wrong.

I realized that was just my vanity.

I don't care if they will become heroes or not. I just want to be with my family and children. I just want to watch them grow up safely.

Fenna and you are both my family. When I come to Dalaran this time, I not only want to take Fenna home, but also take you home. I will build you the best mage tower in Tiragarde Sound.

Come home with me.

Give me a chance to make it up to you. "

"No."

When Mrs. Jinjian raised her head, her eyes were filled with sparkling light. She kissed Dai Lin on the cheek and said:

"I left back then because I didn't want to influence you who was about to become the king. If I surrender to you now, wouldn't it make me look stupid for the past twenty years or so.

I will not give your Queen Catherine the chance to humiliate me. You are just a passerby in my long life. Daelin Proudmoore, don't take yourself too seriously. "

"I talked to Catherine."

Dai Lin said with regret and a hint of sadness:

"After I confirmed Fenner's existence, my wife and I talked deeply all night.

Right in front of our first son’s gravestone.

I'm sure when I told her this, my Katherine had a few seconds where she wanted to grab my gun and kill me with a well-aimed bullet.

That's the kind of woman she is.

She would not let herself be wronged, let alone her children.

But I know that Catherine's anger is not because I am out to play with women.

She was just angry that I figured it out too late. If I had had the will and determination to sacrifice everything for Fenner as I do now, Drake would not have suffered a disaster. "

The old sailor hugged the light woman in his arms tightly. He closed his eyes and said:

"It was Catherine who asked me to take you back. She is still angry with me, and she didn't come to see me off when I set out, but she doesn't want me to suffer another disaster like Drake's death.

She wanted to protect all the children of House Proudmoore, even if Fenna was not her own. "

He lowered his head, looked into Mrs. Jinjian's eyes, showed a headache-inducing smile, and said:

“There’s already a woman I can’t stand.

So, dear Gina, just be good, okay? You mages always have strange abilities of one kind or another, and you can work between Kul Tiras and Quel'Thalas.

I don’t force you to be by my side every day.

But on the land of my country, I can better protect you. Don’t let me miss my eldest daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony and her future life again, I beg you.

You know me, I'm a king, I have the most powerful fleet in the whole world, I can get everything I want.

I rarely ask for help. "

Mrs. Jin Jian was like a young girl now. She stretched out her finger and poked her chin as if thinking. After a few seconds, she reached out and touched Dai Lin's chin and said:

"Oh, who told me that I just can't refuse my little Dai Lin?

You are obviously no longer as handsome as you were when you were young, and I have obviously made plans, but after seeing you, I am still hopelessly fascinated by you again.

You must have used something evil from the legendary witch of your Kul Tiran people on me, otherwise you can't explain this unfounded attachment! "

As she spoke, she reached out to unbutton Dai Lin's sailor blouse and caressed the chest of His Excellency the Admiral.

Black is right!

Dai Lin also has tattoos.

Right on his chest, a compass and the outline of the endless sea. This wild man kept his ambition in himself in this way when he was young.

He had the same wish as Blake.

He wants the entire Endless Sea to become a territory under his control. Unlike the pirate's ambition, which has not yet been implemented, Dai Lin's wish has been mostly realized.

The admiral hugged the master of the mage tower on the balcony, and the two of them quietly enjoyed the hard-won time under the afternoon sun, just like the past few days.

The servants in the tower stepped away with a wink, and no one bothered the couple.

Until the two of them were a little confused and wanted to relive the passion of their youth, there was a harsh sound of chickens and dogs jumping under the tower. Mrs. Jinjian reacted very quickly and pulled Dai Lin, who was holding her, away. Push away.

She patted her face with cold palms to dissipate the blush on her cheeks.

"Mother!"

Fenna Jinjian rushed up to the dome hall of the Mage Tower with her black ice in hand. She saw her mother arranging her clothes in a panic, and saw the guy on the balcony also wearing buttons on his back.

Of course she misunderstood.

He glared hard at his hopeless and uncontrollable mother, without saying a word, he mentioned Hei Bing and killed Dai Lin who bullied his mother.

The blood-red seal on her finger resonated with the anger on her body, making Fenner's charging momentum like an irresistible surge of the sea, as if Dai Lin was about to be torn to pieces in the next moment.

The reason why she came so late was that she ran to Dean Lan Yue to help deal with the "gift" given to her by her bratty brother.

"Get out! You're not welcome here!"

Fenner roared and swung the halberd towards Dai Lin. The admiral looked at Fenner's anger like a sea wave, and a trace of surprise and satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He shifted his body lightly to avoid his daughter's first blow, and when the ax gun swept over him, he drew out the navy sword at his waist like a smooth blade.

Block, counterattack and disarm in one go.

Before Fenna could react, Hei Bing had already escaped and was held in Dai Lin's hand.

"boom"

His Majesty the King pressed the ax gun in his hand against the ground and glanced at the navy sword whose curled blade was broken due to the huge collision. He shook his head and said:

"I really need to find a good knife."

Finna lost her weapon, but she had a spare.

The thick Bulwark of Azzinoth was taken out of the bag by both hands.

The half-elf warrior used a heavy shield as a weapon and hid his body behind the shield. He rushed forward like a bull and pushed the shield forward. He tried to push the annoying Dai Lin off the balcony with his powerful shield attack.

So I can crush this bad thing to death!

Dai Lin just wanted to talk to his daughter, but as a warrior, he knew exactly how to calm down another angry warrior.

He stood there holding the black ice in both hands, accumulating power in a weird posture.

Waiting for his daughter's unrivaled shield attack to reach him, bloodshot threads like spider webs gushed out from the admiral's eyes, and the anger of the sea, which was at least twice as big as Fenner's, surged, making Dai Lin's whole body seem to swell.

He moved his left foot forward, swung the weapons in both hands, and used the strongest blow without using the legendary power, followed by the heavy blow of the ax gun, and hit Fenner's shield hard.

Although Dai Lin was afraid of hurting Fenna, the surge of anger subsided in an instant.

But at this moment, the half-elf warrior still felt as if he had been hit head-on by the most violent waves, and even felt as if he could not breathe.

Like a rock washed away by the tide.

She tried hard to steady herself, but the impact from the shield made her hands lose all feeling for a moment.

"哐"

A thunderous bang resounded in the dome hall of the Mage Tower. The collision of forces produced a shock wave, blowing everything around into a mess.

Ms. Golden Sword, who was well prepared, sighed and threw a weakened arcane impact in front of her, weakening and canceling out the spreading shock wave. Fenna's hands were paralyzed by the concentrated brute force, and she fell to the ground.

The heavy shield in her hand was also snatched away by Dai Lin.

Mrs. Jin Jian, who was next to her, flashed to her embarrassed daughter, helped Fenna up with trembling hands, and yelled at Dai Lin with an angry face:

"Is there anyone like you! She is your daughter, not the greenskin you hate!"

Dai Lin shrugged, holding a heavy shield in one hand and an ax gun in the other, looking at her daughter who didn't want to admit defeat.

The angry light in those eyes satisfied him greatly.

He threw the ax gun back towards Fenner, who caught it in her hand. Dai Lin held the shield, assumed a standard defensive posture, hooked Fenna, and said:

"The attack just now is called 'City Breaker'. It is one of the secret martial arts of the Tide Warriors of Kul Tiras. You have one afternoon to learn it.

After you learn it, we will have another communication between father and daughter. You can choose the time, place, and method.

Or just don't talk about it at all, just think of finding yourself a warrior mentor.

I'll teach you everything I know you want to learn.

Come.

It's your turn to attack this time.

Do it with all your strength, don't be afraid of hurting me, show me your anger, my daughter. "
