Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"clang"

The buzzing dagger flew out in a short and violent collision.

In the dark palace, the tall assassin took a step back. He covered his trembling right hand, where there was a bleeding wound, and the black mask on his face was cut into two by a sharp object.

The Duke's well-maintained, somewhat yuppie old face was revealed.

Next to Lothar's bed, in the shadows, boots designed like high heels stepped on the ground, and with a rhythmic sound, a slender and tall figure slowly walked out.

She wore a thick dark green bladed cloak and a Warden armor covered with battle scars. On her shoulders stood a spiritual owl that shone with the gentle moonlight in the darkness.

In the closed sharp gauntlet, there is a three-sided shadow moon blade.

A drop of blood was slowly dripping from the edge of the moon blade.

"The story of the demon hunter spread in Dalaran, and a group of ignorant mages began to criticize the Kaldorei's attitude towards 'heroes'. I don't care about these slanderous rumors. For the wardens, they are ours to guard. Responsibilities.

But I'm also curious.

How do humans who mock us from the moral high ground treat their own heroes? "

Watcher Warden Ms. Nasa paused. She glanced at the painful Lothar, then raised her head and looked at the two assassins in front of her. She said in a sarcastic tone:

"We just want to lock up dangerous people, but you want to kill him. What I saw today is an eye-opener for me, an old elf who has lived for more than 10,000 years."

"This matter has nothing to do with you Kaldorei! I also heard that the mysterious Watchers are not an organization that likes to meddle in other people's business."

The Duke moved his fingers and said in a gentle tone:

"Madam, maybe you can leave now and don't get involved in this dirty political deal. It will pollute your hands and your heart in serving the Moon God."

"I don't want to get involved either."

Nasa tilted her head, and the mysterious watcher lady sighed and said:

"But the prisoner I'm chasing is a real pain in the ass.

He has completely erased his past. As an outsider, I am not very familiar with the human kingdom. I can only collect information through the extremely inefficient method of 'asking'.

Now it's hard to find someone who may know Black Shaw's true identity, but you want to kill him. Actually, this has nothing to do with me, but your assassination must be after I finish asking questions. "

"I can tell you who he is."

Lord Jorach Ravenholdt said:

"Even though it's just a guess, I think it's probably close to that."

"you?"

Nasa looked at the Duke up and down, shook her head and said:

"I don't trust a person who claims to be an 'old friend' but wants to stab him in the back. I believe more in what the human hero Anduin Lothar said. Testimonies always have to come from the mouth of a hero. Be more credible.

We Watchers are different from you chaotic human assassins. We do things according to rules. "

"Kill this elf! Jorach, time is running out."

The master dwarf assassin standing guard at the door pulled out two weird saw chain daggers and screamed:

"Isenlien is coming back. You promised me that this work cannot be discovered by others! Otherwise, my good reputation will be ruined. I will stop her while you go and assassinate Lothar!

quick! "

"You can't stop it, this is a warden, you stupid dwarf, you will be eaten by her like a sandwich cookie."

The thought came to the Duke's mind.

But as soon as he rolled his eyes and raised his left foot, the dagger that had been knocked away flew back into his hand. The leader of Ravenholdt assumed an attacking posture. He said in a deep voice to the dwarf assassin master Zach Daggerfinger. :

"Okay! You go first, be careful."

"Coming."

The master dwarf assassin was in a hurry to get away. He responded and launched his shadow step, whizzing behind Nasa. The two weird rotating chain saw blades made a scalp-numbing buzzing sound and moved towards the warden slenderly. The neck was chopped off.

Nasa didn't seem to react at all and allowed the weapon to hit her.

"Buzz"

It was like the sound of a bubble being popped. Under the stunned gaze of the excited dwarf master, the warden in front of him shattered into a bubble with flying shadows, just like the way it looked in the sun.

At the same time, the cold gauntlet poked out from the dwarf master's small shadow, and clasped the dwarf assassin's big head like a ball.

Lift this short guy up completely.

The power of the Black Moon of the Watcher lingered on Nasa's fingertips, momentarily cutting off the connection between Zach Finger and the power of shadow, and the shadow cloak that the dwarf master was about to release was forcibly interrupted.

The dwarf still wanted to fight back, but the cold moon blade pressed against Senhan's neck, causing the coward to instantly drop the weapon and raise his hands in submission.

This is simply not the same level of competition!

Just Blake Shaw, a new recruit of the Watch, could kill three assassin masters in a row. Now this elite warden came out to kill a dwarf master with an out-of-character personality. It was just like playing.

What made the dwarf master even more desperate was that the moment he rushed out to stop Ms. Nasa, the old thief Jorach Ravenholdt, who had agreed to come with him, quietly took a step back and disappeared. In the shadows.

Damn it!

Before he left, he even had time to wave goodbye to himself

It’s really a “ceremonial feeling”!

I was sold!

"You should choose your friends carefully, little dwarf."

Nasa's cold voice came from above, making Zach Yaozhi shake his body. The dwarf master showed a flattering smile on his face under the armor, and he tried to explain:

"I am a tall and powerful elf who was coerced. I am not usually such a reckless person. People who know me praise me for my calmness. They all say that I am not as peaceful as an assassin.

I just."

"Snapped"

Before the dwarf could finish his words, he was thrown to the ground by Nasa. He tried to escape, but a vengeful spirit hidden in the shadows took over Nasa's guard and pressed the moon blade, which was completely composed of shadows, against On the dwarf's forehead.

If he makes the slightest move, he will be hacked to death by the revengeful spirit.

This cold incarnation of the power of the Black Moon formed after death has no emotion at all. It is a pure killing machine that only obeys the watcher on whom they depend.

The master dwarf assassin knew how powerful he was, but he could only maintain an awkward posture of raising his hands, not daring to move.

Nasa ignored him at all.

The Watchers are all a group of target-focused hunters. She is not here to save Lothar, she is just here to find out the details and origins of Black Shaw.

She stood beside Lothar. The favor of the Holy Light had faded. The old marshal's poison had spread throughout his body, and he was only one last breath away from death.

"Never seen before, a tricky poison. Well, it's worth studying."

Nasa grabbed Lothar's neck and turned it over to check the condition of his neck.

The Wardens are the leading poison masters in Azeroth. Because most of the targets they can hunt cannot be killed with moon blades, poison has become one of their deadly weapons.

The research on toxins passed down for thousands of years allowed Nasa to see through the difficulty of the toxins in Lothar's body at a glance. Even for them, it was almost impossible to expel the toxins.

Because it is not just venom, Kargas must have added some non-material power to it.

But fortunately, Nasa didn't need to cure Lothar, she just needed to make the old marshal wake up.

The Watcher put a Watcher's Elf Secret Medicine that he carried into Lothar's mouth, and then looked at the palace door in front of her, and she heard footsteps.

There isn't much time left for her.

"Wake up! Bald old man."

The warden slapped Lothar's cheek with gentle movements, relying on the efficacy of the Watcher's secret medicine to suppress the toxins flowing into his body, preventing it from further damaging the old marshal's body.

As Nasa slapped her cheek with her cold gauntlet, Lothar opened her eyes with difficulty. His mind was still confused and confused at the moment, which was the perfect time for interrogation.

"Who is Black Shaw's true identity?"

Nasa asked in a deep voice.

Lothar opened her pale mouth, trying to tell the answer under the guidance of the watcher, but in the next moment, veins popped out, and the confusion in her eyes quickly faded.

"The iron will of the legendary warrior is really difficult to deal with."

The warden moved his fingers, and the footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer.

Nasa hesitated for a moment, then took out another secret medicine and stuffed it into Lothar's mouth. While quickly suppressing the toxin, she also brought Lothar into the hallucination that comes with the treatment.

She put her hand on Lothar's forehead, and this time there was a trace of flowing black light on her fingertips.

It's not that the Watchers can't cast spells, they can also use divine spells, but in most cases they can't.

"Anduin Lothar, tell me, who is Black Shaw's true identity?"

She asked again.

Under the guidance of the Moon God's dark magic, the old marshal's entire body began to tremble. It was his will resisting this confusing spell.

But he was too weak.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Lothar spoke in a difficult and weak tone, causing the fingers of the watcher's other hand to clasp together instantly.

"Damn it! Why does he still have this identity?"

The warden whispered.

As soon as the palace door was pushed open, Nasa and her spirit of revenge jumped into the shadows at the same time. The "hijacked" dwarf master Zach Yazhi also wanted to run, but in the end he was a step too slow.

"Assassin! There is an assassin!"

High-ranking priest Yi Senlien pushed open the palace door and saw unconscious guards on the ground, three high-ranking priests lying in a pool of blood, and a dwarf assassin trying to escape.

The stubborn priest immediately waved his hands angrily, and a circle of dazzling holy light struck in all directions with him as the center like a waterfall.

It did not cause any harm to the dwarf master, and also healed his minor injuries.

But it dispelled all the shadows he relied on to escape.

"Ouch"

In the low roar of the beast, the great druid Omulon, the Skyroarer, who was invited by Varian, transformed into a black cheetah and disappeared into the shadows. When he reappeared, his claws covered with wooden claws grabbed the dwarf who fled in panic. The master slapped his whole body on the ground.

Zach Yaozhi’s eyes were full of despair.

Especially when he saw the legendary Elven Moon Priest holding the Moonlight Scepter, and Varian striding towards him with his sword drawn and an angry look on his face, that desperate fear suddenly overflowed in him. mind.

He was so unlucky.

"It's not me! No!"

The dwarf shouted desperately, trying to tell the truth.

But at this moment, he thought of his family and friends in Gnomeregan. If he told them, the ruthless Duke would never let them go.

"Okay, it's me."

Zach closed his eyes in pain, raised his head, and prepared to kill him with his neck.

"Don't kill him."

The moment Varian swung his sword in anger, a weak voice came from the side.

With the help of the surprised high-ranking priest Isenlien, Lothar, who was on the verge of death just now, held his wound and sat up from the table with a pale face.

With the help of the Watcher's secret medicine, the old marshal was not out of danger yet, but his consciousness was already clear.

He said to Varian:

"This pathetic dwarf is just a scapegoat. Leave him alone, and there is someone else who is the real assassin! In addition, go find Black Shaw immediately and ask him to come see me.

There is something very important that I must tell him. "

"We can't stay here any longer."

Varian supported his adoptive father. He frowned and looked at the mess around him and said:

"It's not safe here at all. I have to send you to His Holiness the Pope. Damn it, I don't know who I can trust now."

"Are the people from Dalaran here?"

Lothar, who was being supported, asked weakly.

Varian nodded and replied:

"Just now, Master Antonidas took two archmages across Lake Lordamre by boat. They have entered the city and are gathering at the church in the royal city."

"Just go there."

The old marshal nodded, then looked back at the master dwarf assassin who was lifted up by the archdruid's neck, and said:

"Bring him with you!"

——

"Snapped"

Ten minutes later, Lothar was properly resettled, and the dwarf assassin master Zak Flashfinger, who had been stripped naked from top to bottom, was thrown into the arcane cage created by Archmage Modera himself.

It was like a bubble shining with purple magic light, and the dwarf was thrown into it, like a fish being thrown into a fish tank.

His hands and feet were shackled by magic, and his face was full of misfortune.

In front of the arcane cage, Varian Wrynn, who was holding a sword, was looking at him with a deadly look. Shore, who had changed his clothes after the battle, stood quietly behind the king.

Varian asked in an indifferent tone:

"Who ordered you to assassinate Marshal Lothar? Was it the Black Dragon?"

"I refuse to answer any questions."

The dwarf curled his lips and said in a sharp voice:

"Kill me."

Varian wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Shaw. The MI7 commander stepped forward, took out a list from his arms, and pasted it on the light wall of the arcane cage, with densely packed names written on it.

Shaw said in a gentle tone:

"I ask you the same question again for my Majesty, Master Zac, but this time before answering, think more about your family and friends."

"I can't say!"

The dwarf gritted his teeth and replied:

"I said they would die."

"If you don't tell them, they will die too!"

Xiao'er's tone became cold. He played with the green seal ring in his hand and said:

"I just killed Callu Aurelius, Farad is dead, and Ravenholdt's broken ship is finished. If Master Zak thinks that our MI7 is doing things above board, I will be happy to show it to you. The dark side of us.

Let me ask you one last time, who ordered you? "

"You must save my family!"

The dwarf shouted.

Shore shrugged and made no promise, but the desperate dwarf had no choice but to squat there and whisper one name after another.

The more Varian listened, the more uncomfortable he became, and the more he listened, the angrier he became.

Until finally, when the dwarf said the name Terenas Menethil, Varian swung his fist and hit the wall next to him.

The young king gritted his teeth and said to the expressionless Xiao next to him:

"Get rid of him! Send him away, no matter where he is sent, make sure he never returns to the Eastern Continent! What he said cannot be known to anyone, especially little Alsace.

The child's persistence in justice supported his faith.

Don't tell him, he can't accept this. "
