Shadow Trails in Azeroth

At midnight, Blake was sitting alone on the beach outside the town of Losberg fishing.

The little fish man was beside him, also holding a wooden stick tied with a fishing line.

But it was just playing tricks. There was nothing tied to the fishhook. It was probably trying to replicate Blake's "magical operation" during the fishing competition with Nat in Southshore Town.

Fishing is an activity that you can either really enjoy and never feel bored alone, or you can just joke around with your friends and pass the time.

Of course, when you go fishing with friends, you must remember to wear a helmet.

This is a rule of thumb.

If these two conditions are not met, then fishing cannot be called a kind of enjoyment. In fact, Blake is now in a state of uneasiness and has not calmed down even after answering three big questions.

He just used the action of fishing to try to relieve himself.

It wasn't because of the embarrassing encounter with Little Star yesterday.

The pirate still had a big heart, and he didn't suffer any loss anyway. Besides, with Little Xingxing's temper, he probably wouldn't be able to remember this for long.

What really makes Black uneasy is the journey that is about to set sail tomorrow morning. More than a year after his rebirth, he will set foot on the land of Kul Tiras for the first time, returning to what can be called the A place for "home".

He thought he didn't care about it and felt that going there was no different from going anywhere else. But on the eve of setting sail, he had a rare insomnia.

No fear, no expectations, no bad premonitions, just pure insomnia.

My eyes are wide open and I can't sleep. Instead of lying there and wasting time, I might as well come out and take a walk.

He will be sitting leisurely on the shore, fixing the fishing rod with stones, sitting next to him and stretching his left leg, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, with stars shining above his head, and the sea breeze blowing in front of his eyes, not to mention how comfortable he is. .

"We have three things to do when we go back this time!"

Black was a bit drunk. He lowered his head and raised three fingers to the decent little fish man swinging a stick next to him and said:

"First, attend Arthur's wedding and congratulate him and the female spy under my command for a happy life! Second, give the Church of Storms a big job and destroy their obscene temple! Third, kill the Tide Sage to pieces. Stay and let them know the price of messing with me!

Hmm, the last two seem to be repeated. "

The stinky pirate laughed, raised his head and took another sip of wine, and said to the croaking little fishman:

"Anyway, as long as you understand what I mean, the first thing we do when we set foot on Kul Tiras is that as the Riptide Baron, we want to catch the unlucky Hai Xian and drown him in the sea!

At the cost of this blood, the war between the Tide Order and the Church of Storms was announced.

I'm so sick of those bastards. "

"Quack"

The little fish man waved the wooden stick in his hand and shouted a few times in support, with a fierce look on his face.

"Yes, it's too cheap to drown them. Throw them down to feed the sharks."

Blake nodded with satisfaction and said:

"This is what those bastards deserve, and their N'Zoth master certainly didn't tell them this.

I'm really looking forward to Dai Lin's expression after seeing the sea sages he values ​​​​transformed into the filthy Kesir in broad daylight.

Haha, that must be super interesting. "

"Wow"

Just when the drunkard pirate and the little fish man were chatting happily about how to kill and torture the Tide Sage, a strong wind suddenly blew down from the night sky.

It was very similar to the posture of a plane landing, and even formed a blowing storm, blowing the little fishman into the air, and was caught back by Blake.

He pressed the pirate hat on his head and looked at the sea surface that was stirred up by the strong wind. He looked up again and saw a huge black shadow falling quickly from the dark night.

She must have done it on purpose!

How shameful that this vengeful badass dragon ruined his fun night of fishing!

"Hey, fishing?"

The little star fell from the sky and turned into a human form behind the coast. He stood there with his arms folded and said hello coldly:

"It seems that the wind just now was not strong enough to blow you into the sea to wake up. Don't worry, I will definitely increase my efforts next time."

"Are you still angry?"

Blake put the little fish man on his shoulders, put the last sip of wine into his mouth, rinsed his mouth, and said helplessly:

"It wasn't my fault in the first place. It was you who didn't open the portal properly. Didn't your grandfather teach you that as a girl, you should always pay attention to your manners?"

"Say it again!"

Little Star bared her teeth and yelled at Blake:

"Stop talking, otherwise I will eat you! I am a scary blue dragon, very powerful."

"Okay, okay, Your Highness Blue Dragon, it was my fault. I was weak at the time and should have avoided it. It was my fault that I didn't shy away from your visit, okay?"

Blake pretended to bow and apologize, and Little Star snorted and said:

"That's about it, okay, I accept your sincere apology. Next time, pay attention to the tone and manner of your apology. If you make me angry, just kneel on the ground and shout long live the Blue Dragon Hero, and I won't be angry anymore.

Now, this is for you. "

She took a deep breath and threw something over.

Blake took it in his hand doubtfully and found that it was a wooden box tied with a bow. He put the thing in front of his eyes and shook it vigorously, and there was a clanking sound inside.

The pirate glanced at Little Star and said suspiciously:

"Isn't there an arcane bomb in this?

I made you angry, but this kind of treatment is a bit too much, right? Besides, you should know that an arcane bomb of this size cannot kill me. "

"what are you thinking."

Little Xingxing put her hands on her hips dissatisfiedly and said:

"That's little Gianna's birthday gift to you! Didn't you ask me to give her your gift? After we had a small party, when I was leaving, she gave this thing to me.

She said that she was going back to Kul Tiras soon. After she returned, she wouldn't be able to contact her 'brother' using Old Garni, so she asked me to bring this thing back to you.

I'll let you hand it over to His Highness Drake. "

At this point, Little Xingxing suddenly became angry again, and she said in a long tone:

"I went back to the Demon Nexus this time and learned a saying from my blue dragon sisters. When they gossiped about Eldagosa's affair story, they casually said that all men's generosity is based on guilt.

You gave little Gianna such a precious thing. It seems that the guilt you feel towards her must be as big as this ocean.

But all you gave me was a heartfelt apology.

Huh, you didn't realize your mistake at all. "

"If you want a gift, just ask."

The magic eyeball on Blake's shoulder turned, and he glanced at the little star with unhappiness written all over his face, and he said:

"Why have you learned to beat around the bush?"

"Who wants a gift? My majesty, the Blue Dragon Princess, and all the blue dragons in the Demonic Nexus love me. How can I be angry because I can't get a gift?

Don't talk nonsense. "

Little Xingxing made a duplicitous complaint, but saw the stinky pirate in front of him take out a conch-like shell horn from his bag with a regretful look on his face, put it in his hand, rubbed it, and said:

“That’s really a shame.

I originally planned to give you this 'magical magic conch' I got from the Swordfish Man as an apology gift. Since the great little star doesn't like it, I can only sell it to anyone. "

"Bring it to you!"

Little Star flashed over with a whoosh, snatched the conch from Blake's hand, protected it behind her, bared her teeth at him again, made a face and ran away.

Blake shouted after her:

"Hey, don't play with that thing! It's for summoning sea giants. It's only useful in sea areas where sea giants live, and it's possible to summon angry sea giants.

With your small physique, a stronger sea giant could push you down in the sea and drown you.

Don't play around with that without Sai Anigosa's company!

Did you hear that? "

"I heard it."

Little Xingxing replied from a distance and shouted again:

"Little Jaina invited me and Sianni to be guests in Kul Tiras. We have agreed, so I won't go with you. You can set sail on your own tomorrow morning.

See you in Tiragarde Sound! "

"This guy is really hopeless. She goes wherever there is danger. She is really trying to get all the savior achievements."

Blake glanced at the little fishman who jumped to his feet and was playing with his birthday gift. He kicked him and said:

"This is my gift, please don't touch it casually."

"Quack"

The little fish man also extended his claws with a stern look on his face and shook them towards Blake.

It also wants gifts!

Everyone has gifts, so why doesn’t it?

"Would you like a warm gun?"

The stinky pirate took out the double-barreled shotgun from the gun bag on his chest and loaded it with bullets with a click. The little fishman turned around and jumped into the sea in fright. Then he jumped up and made faces at the stinky pirate as the water rose and fell.

It just joins in the fun and doesn't want any gifts.

Every time it is robbed with its owner, it can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. It is as happy as the New Year, so why does it need any gifts?

After driving away the little fishman who needed a beating, Blake sat alone on the beach in the night, took out a bottle of wine from his bag, bit open the cork and took a sip, then glanced at the wooden box at his feet.

He looked around, reached out and picked up the box, removed the bow, and opened it in his hand.

The starlight shone down and cast a stream of light on the sea, allowing Blake to see the contents of the box. There was a lamp in it.

It looks like the kind of chandelier that people in Kul Tiran would use when traveling at night.

But after it was decorated and processed with magic, it became quite beautiful. Constrained by a silver-gray mithril frame, it is a fully carved blue prismatic crystal.

There is also a small handle on the top, which is as beautiful as a work of art.

This should have been done by Gianna herself.

Blake reached out and touched the handle of the lantern and lifted it up. The character card in front of him gave the entry for this thing:

Name: Mist Breaker·Light of the Sea

Quality: Epic·Decoration

Item effects:

1. The fogbreaker:

Infuse magic into the lantern to create a ball of light that can spread across the sea. The more magic power is injected, the brighter the light source becomes, and the sea fog cannot block such magic light.

Because it imitates the skill and craftsmanship of the Mistbreaker's Lantern made by the Tidesage, it can be used as a temporary lighthouse for night navigation.

2. The light of the sea:

The main crystal of this lantern was forged with the help of the Holy Light Miracle, the Holy Hammer of the Silver Hand, so that this lantern has the effect of dispersing and containing the forces of disorder.

Wherever the light it ignites reaches, the power of darkness will be dispelled.

Low-level non-order creatures will fear this light of order and retreat. But this may also be regarded as a provocation by powerful non-order creatures, thus triggering an active attack.

3. The road back home:

The maker of the lantern places a specially processed fine hearthstone in the lantern, and only needs to inject magic power to transport the user to the maker.

Note that this effect can only take effect once before changing the hearthstone.

Item Description:

May the power of darkness be unable to touch you, may the power of order protect you, may you always remember the way home, may you appreciate this long longing for me, my dear brother.

——

Jaina Proudmoore.

"well."

After reading the description of this item, Blake's expression became a little more complicated.

He stood up, placed the silver lantern in front of his eyes, and poured his own magic into it. Although it was the magic of the shadow, the lamp was still lit and emitted silver light in the darkness.

Illuminating the surrounding darkness.

As the light danced, Blake reached out and took off the red blindfold on his eyes, and released his long blond hair coiled in the pirate hat.

He moved his hair and glanced behind him at the town of Losberg, which was still noisy at midnight. It's so annoying that those stinky pirates keep making trouble when everything should be sleeping!

You're not letting anyone sleep anymore, you bastard!

You should all be thrown into the ocean to feed the fish, you noisy bilge rats!

Blake cursed fiercely, and then looked at the lantern in his hand.

or

Go out for some quiet time?

——

"Buzz"

Silver light shone in the darkness, and Black, wearing a hood and a Kul Tiran sailor uniform, appeared in Jaina's room quietly.

He looked at Jaina who was already asleep holding the core of the glacier element in front of him. He was about to get up when unexpectedly a cold and faint sharp blade made entirely of death frost was handed to him from behind.

Blake turned back, took off his hood, put his finger at the corner of his mouth, made a silent gesture to Merry Dongfeng behind him, and pointed at his special outfit.

The old lich glanced down and understood immediately.

There was no eye patch, no pirate costume, her hair was neatly tidied, hair oil was applied, and her stubble was cleaned. It looked like she had taken a shower and applied men's perfume.

Wearing a bow tie, he looked polite.

Um.

It's not Black Shaw who's here tonight.

Coming tonight is Derek Proudmoore.

"I'm pressed for time. I'm setting sail in four hours."

Black lowered his voice and said to the old lich:

"So, don't disturb us, okay?"

"certainly."

The old lich put away the ice blade in his hand. He leaned on the staff of the guardian, and a smile appeared on his cold face.

He said:

"I'm very happy to see that you have finally overcome your mental illness and taken the first step towards truly solving the problem. This is a good start, Mr. Two-Face."

"I think you deserve a beating, Merry."

Blake said coldly:

"I don't like that name! Stop calling it."

The old lich shrugged, showing an expression that said, "If you don't accept it, hit me." Shi Shiran turned around and left with a flash spell.

Blake took a deep breath.

He turned around, quietly walked to Jaina's bedside, sat on the edge of the bed, and tried hard to adjust his emotions so that he could behave like a qualified brother for a while.

"Holy Light, this is really difficult."

Ten seconds later, he complained.

Jaina also opened her eyes with emotion. The little princess rubbed her eyes and looked at the guy in front of her blankly. She instinctively wanted to scream and summon her powerful "Vampire Water Man" to protect her.

Then, she saw the blond hair scattered in front of her eyes, and the blue eyes that were exactly the same as hers, but appeared deeper.

She suddenly became sluggish.

Let Blake put his hand on her little head and rub it hard, just like he remembered when he and Gianna were playing and joking.

"My annoying incompetent subordinate Blake told me that every time he sees you, you have to complain to him that I don't come to see you and that I'm not a good brother."

The smelly pirate said in a gentle voice:

"What's wrong now? I came as promised, but you have to remain silent? My sister."

"elder brother!"

Jaina cried loudly and ran into Black's arms, hugging his waist tightly. She no longer had the rationality that a good little mage should have.

"Shhh"

Blake patted the sea girl's shrugged shoulders and whispered:

"There are people outside. This is a secret meeting tonight. Be good and let's leave some time to talk. I can't stay here for too long. There is a war of evil and darkness calling me, just as you stubbornly call me hero

I must respond, as always. "
