Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 717 48. Priest of the sea? Haha, the thief of the sea is pretty much the same - more updates for the crying brother [55]

Seeing that Blake and the Tide Hunters had reached a preliminary cooperation agreement, the core figures belonging to the stinking pirates on the ghost ship, such as Prince Sephiel and Faroldis, as well as the three warlocks, all showed rather strange expressions.

Especially Sephire.

The unbearable smile on the Pirate Dragon's face could no longer be suppressed.

Prince Farodis had to secretly throw a small flame on her ghost body, which was like twisting the flesh, making her "face full of sadness" for a moment.

On the surface, this cooperation agreement seemed to mean that Black was forced into a corner by the Tide Hunters and had to take the initiative to attack the incarnation of the Fire Lord to show his sincerity in order to gain the favor of the Hydraxia Legion.

But this is not the case at all.

As the henchmen of the evil stinking pirate, they know part of Black's next plan.

Fighting into the Molten Core, killing the incarnation of Ragnaros, and quenching Black's weapons and armor with the fire of Savras, the ancestral flame from the Fire Realm, this was what he decided to do next. things to do.

Now it is equivalent to the evil captain "whoring" the Hydrasian water element to help as a thug.

As a result, the tide hunter who was prostituted for free still looked happy, as if he had taken a big advantage.

"This guy doesn't look very smart, does he?"

"Yes, as the king of elements, he was tricked by the captain. He was sold by the evil captain and even helped him count the money. Maybe the captain can trick it into cleaning the deck of the fleet if he works harder."

"No, no, no, the captain wouldn't do that. He likes to see us sticking our butts out and wiping the deck. He calls it a 'trial'. In fact, he just likes to see us unlucky."

The trio of warlocks exchanged glances with each other, using complex expressions to express their thoughts at this moment.

Prince Faroldis, who looked calm but was actually not calm in his heart, looked at Black with sighs in his eyes. Why is this guy so brave?

Playing with the World Destroyer and Defiler before was beyond the limits of what the Magic Prince dared to imagine, and now he has actually begun to deceive the Tide Hunter, the elemental monarch.

Is Black going to play with the most powerful group of guys in the entire world to gain the title of "Deceiver"?

Is there no fear in his heart?

It's really curious.

"Your Excellency Tidehunter, since we have agreed to attack Ragnaros together, then we are friends."

There was no expression of successful fraud on Black's face at all, and Sargeras' cursed vision obscured his eyes, making it impossible for the Tide Hunter to tell what the pirate was thinking at this time.

The smelly pirate spread his hands and said to the elemental monarch in front of him:

"Now that we are friends, I have to tell you some necessary information about Naga so that you can compete with Naga for dominance on the sea in the future.

Of course, I am definitely on your side.

I wish all those Nagas would die, but I can only share this top-secret information with you. It concerns some of the secrets of the twisted pustule behind Azshara in the material world. "

"Well, it's prudent, and that's appreciated."

The tide hunter nodded, put down his left hand, and sent the ghost ship in his hand into the sea.

Black turned back and said a few words to his subordinates, asking them to move the ship farther away and not to eavesdrop on the upcoming secret conversation between him and His Majesty the Tide Hunter.

Take the opportunity to bring back the pirates who are still plundering in the waters of Vashj'ir.

He also named Kojo and the commander of the Swordfish Men to stay, and secretly met with the Tide Hunter with him. By the way, he worked as a coolie and brought the fragments of the Tide Stone with him.

Kojo, the turtle man, had a strange expression at this time.

His turtle head looked toward the Tide Scepter hanging in Blake's hand, and then furtively toward the Tide Hunter.

The wise Ancestral Turtle has probably guessed why Black wanted to keep him.

Kou Qiao frowned, obviously using his brain quickly to think about the matter in front of him and the difficult choice he was about to face.

As for the commander of the swordfish people, he didn't think about anything else at all at this time, and became Black's "tool fish" with a sense of humility like a "pilgrimage".

It carried five fragments of the Tide Stone on its back, boarded the wave hand extended by the Tide Hunter together with Blake and Kojo, and then dived deeply under the swift and deep dive of the King of Water Elemental, returning to the previous place in just a few seconds. Escape from the Throne of Tides.

This elemental temple, located at the boundary between the material world and the elemental realm, was mostly destroyed in the previous big explosion. It was filled with the corpses of Nagas and looked like a ruined wall on the seabed.

But the Tidehunter doesn't care if his palace is damaged.

This is just the "gate" to its huge palace of elements.

Following here into the Throat of the Abyss, you can see a fantasy undersea palace that stretches as far as the eye can see, standing in a bright sea filled with water elements and various strange underwater creatures.

Blake looked envious.

What is a big dog owner?

The seven royal cities of the human kingdom combined are less than half the size of His Excellency the Tide Hunter's palace. In terms of luxury and nobility, they are not even worthy of licking the Tide Hunter's shoes.

The Ancient King is indeed the "Eternal One", and even his artistic taste is so elegant and shocking.

"Ah, although the material world is vast, as an element, you should live in the territory of the elements. This place you call a 'cage' is actually not only filled with bitter memories of failure."

The tide hunter was in a good mood today, so he shrank his body and led the three guests around his palace and residence like a guide.

Wherever he goes, those strange water elements and sea creatures will humbly salute their rulers, but His Majesty the Tide Hunter turns a blind eye to this.

As a master, it briefly introduced the history of this elemental holy land and hometown to the three flesh-and-blood beings who came to the elemental territory for the first time.

It said in a rather gentle tone:

"The first water elementals and I were born here. Before it was transformed into a disappointing prison by the hateful Titan Guardians, this place was called the 'Elemental Plane'.

This is the home of all water elements and the place where living water returns after death. It is also the source of life in the material world and the soul of the endless sea and all waters.

Although he has been a prisoner for millions of years.

But honestly, it's not a bad feeling to be here.

This is home after all.

And you three are the first batch of mortal beings allowed to enter this place since the birth of the Water Elemental Plane. You should feel honored and proud of this.

Um?

Why don't you talk? "

This gentle and cunning king looked at the three flesh and blood beings behind him and found that the three of them were almost frozen into grandchildren.

Blake was okay, just holding his shoulders, shaking like a person who ran out to urinate in a snowstorm in the cold winter.

The swordfish people and the turtle people are very miserable.

They are very sensitive to temperature changes, especially the ancestor turtles. These guys have to hibernate in places where the temperature is too low. At this moment, Koqiao was slapping himself in the face, trying hard to wake up.

But the ice skates hanging all over his body made him feel in a trance and even saw the dream calling.

"Ah, look at my stupidity. I forgot that this elemental land is not tolerant of flesh and blood. It's my fault."

The tide hunters were entertained.

It laughed and waved its paws, making the surrounding water warm up, just like turning on a heater. The ice on the three people's bodies melted quickly, allowing them to comfortably look at this otherworldly scenery.

Compared to the admiration in the eyes of the swordfish man and the turtle man, the look of the magic eye on Black's shoulder was very subtle.

The smelly pirate saw the fist-sized golden pearls scattered all around, used by the tide hunters to "pave the floor", and then looked at the original Azeroth diamonds in front of him, which were used by the King of Elements to support the palace.

Good guy, such a big pure diamond, if brought back to the mainland, would be enough to buy half of Booty Bay.

But here, it was actually used as a goalpost.

Hey, Lord Neptulon, you are showing off your wealth, right?

Show off your wealth in front of a greedy pirate?

You are testing my state of mind.

Blake felt a little itchy.

He had already begun to think about whether the Tide Hunter's palace would collapse if this "doorpost" was taken away quietly.

Well, probably not, right?

"Come, follow me, and we'll talk about N'Zoth's secrets."

Neptulon suddenly felt an uncomfortable chill. It felt that its territory seemed to be threatened by some evil. This unreasonable feeling made the tide hunter feel a little worse.

A free and uninhibited element, it waved its hand and lost interest in showing guests around the palace.

Soon, they entered the tide hunter's "bedroom".

This place is much more low-key, without using those luxurious gadgets. Perhaps Neptulon's understanding of "treasures" is different from that of mortals, but its residence is actually made of rocks.

It looks very rough, in sharp contrast to the luxury of the palace outside.

But as soon as he stepped into it, Blake felt that the magic power in his body was suppressed. This area is full of pure power of flowing water, and other suppressed powers cannot be exerted at all, which is equivalent to a disguised "forbidden demon".

If the Maw of the Abyss is the soul of all water sources in the material world of Azeroth, then this Tidehunter's palace is probably the soul of the Maw of the Abyss.

In this realm, Neptulon could probably put up a good fight with the Titan Guardians.

This guy is definitely not weak in strength, and he is above average among the "top powers" in Azeroth.

"Tell me the secret you know."

The King of Water Elements stayed comfortably in his palace. He looked at Blake. The stinky pirate did not hesitate and immediately said:

"During the millions of years that you were imprisoned in your realm by your evil guardians, N'Zoth has wreaked havoc in your seas.

Not only did it win over the unlucky upper elves and their queen, it used void magic to turn them into fallen naga, as its spokesperson in the material world.

It has also extended its hand into our human civilization.

This is the secret I'm going to tell you.

In my hometown, the human kingdom of Kul Tiras, there is a group of worshipers of N'Zoth who call themselves the 'Priests of the Sea'. They preach to my ignorant compatriots about the usurper of this sea. Dark majesty.

They view N'Zoth's power as the power of the tide.

And they added twists and turns in their holy books and said that this was a gift from the tide hunters and the ocean. This is not nonsense. In fact, I carry this "Tide Book of Tides" with me and it will explain everything. "

Black took out a copy of the Tide Sage's holy book from his bag and placed it on the stone platform in front of the Tide Hunter. This thing was spread everywhere in the endless sea. It was obviously a means of preaching for the Church of Storms.

He added with added fervor:

"Those sea sages are the main culprits of human spellcasters who wantonly enslave the water elements under your command, imprisoning their freedom, and forcing the elements to give up their free will.

They used the power they stole from the sea wantonly to discredit the real owner of this sea area.

And I also know that behind the Church of Storms is N’Zoth’s ‘little pet’ Azshara. I know that these disguised priests of the sea are nothing more than bugs to you that you can easily crush.

But for me, their existence is a cancer that must be removed.

Just as I fought for you against the incarnation of Ragnaros' power in the material world, I am also willing to serve as a vanguard in your war against the Nagas. I am willing to personally destroy the lair of these blasphemers to prove my sincerity to you.

But the evil power they draw from N'Zoth forces me to handle these disputes with caution. "

The magic eyeball on Blake's shoulder glanced at the tide hunter who was reading the "Tide Codex". The latter's blurred face did not have much vivid expression.

But the pirate knew the weird characters of these elemental creatures, so he said:

"Or we can find another way to regain the respect and love you deserve in mortal civilization. Those shameless thieves arrogantly call themselves the 'Pastor of the Sea' without your consent.

Their poor rhetoric should be overturned by the facts.

If you need it, I can help you establish a "priest faction" that truly belongs to you in the material world, and use the power of truly pure ocean waves to cleanse away those dark poisons!

It is clear that N'Zoth wants to return the sea to its dark realm.

I'm not trying to make a fuss, but the Demon of Thousand Beards has indeed begun to seize your territory.

The sea is the source of your power, and with each additional piece they occupy, your territory and power will weaken. If left unchecked, the Hydrasian Legion will truly become history. "

"No, I don't need the faith of mortals to strengthen my strength. I am not one of those weak Loa. My strength comes from the existence of this world itself. No matter whether your compatriots praise me or not, I will not be stronger because of it. Or weak.”

Tidehunter first corrected Blake's statement about arching fire.

But after a few seconds, it muttered:

“But what you said is not unreasonable.

Allowing these insects to continue jumping will only pollute the purity of this sea. Although I don't care about my reputation among the ants, this Church of Storms is indeed too transgressive.

They view my water elementals as servants and the sea as their domain. This is so ignorant and so offensive.

These thieves must be taught a lesson.

Let them learn humility.

They must realize that N'Zoth cannot protect them in my realm. "

The Tide Hunter was silent for a second. It looked at Blake and said:

"You must gather for me my elemental servants, and I will give them the power of the sea, but I will not send my legions into battle. This is a mortal dispute.

Let you figure it out on your own, I just want to see a pure sea. "

"I have brought you the best possible servants, Your Majesty."

Blake smiled and took a step away, pointing to the confused Kojo and the swordfish man behind him, and said:

"Aren't they the best people to spread your majesty?"
