Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Huh? I have nothing to do with him."

Faced with the question from the Moonclaw Archdruid, Miss Hisari Black Crow answered with a confused look:

"I am just carrying out the tasks and missions given to me by Moonlight Glade, hiding beside Black Shaw in a lurking manner, waiting for opportunities to gather information and collect it and send it back to my companions in Moonlight Glade.

Other than that, I have no other relationship with him. "

"Yeah?"

The Archdruid of Moonclaw looked at the seal ring on Miss Black Crow's right finger suspiciously. He thought for a moment and asked again:

"If I remember correctly, Black Crow, you are only 2000 years old this year, right? I mean, do you have a lover in Mount Hyjal?"

"Ah this."

The archdruid's question was a bit personal, making Miss Black Crow a little shy.

After all, she is a pure girl, how could she ask so directly?

Besides, the night elves have the protection and blessing of Nordrassil, the world tree. Every member of the tribe is immortal as long as they don't die in an accident.

Time is very kind to them.

For a group of eternal beings who have no desires or desires, love is really not a necessity in life.

"No."

Miss Black Crow lowered her head and whispered:

"When I joined the Raptor Druid faction, I already swore a natural oath to dedicate my life to the sky and the Mother of Birds. Lord Moonclaw, why are you asking this question?"

"Well, it's nothing, just asking."

The Archdruid of Moonclaw laughed.

This Archdruid is famous for his good temper in the Druid circle of Val'sharah. Except for those lunatics from the Rende Society, he treats all other Druids as their elders. Known for his mentor-like tolerance.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Archdruid of the Moonclaw is weak.

He is one of the most powerful wild druids in the Cenarion Order. If they really want to fight, Lord Moonclaw can easily fight someone like the Archdruid Isolarius of the Order of Rende. Three.

"Well, now I feel that it was a very wrong decision for Omulon to send a little girl like you here to carry out this task.

Maybe you should give up this lurking mission now and return to Moonglade immediately. "

Shaun Moonpaw reminded softly:

"Before it's too late."

"Huh? Sir, do you mean that Black Shaw is trying to hurt me?"

Miss Black Crow said nervously:

"Or are you aware of some curse on me?"

"Not yet, but maybe in the future. I haven't seen him in person, but I heard from other sources that His Excellency Black Shaw is a very elegant single man."

The Archdruid of Moonclaw shook his head and said:

"Young people like you may be impressed by his charm. Compared with the curse of the body, once the restraint of the mind is formed, it cannot be lifted by magic or natural power."

"Ah, this, you don't have to worry about this at all, Your Excellency Archdruid."

Miss Black Crow finally understood what Mr. Moonpaw wanted to say from his convoluted words.

Ms. Druid of the Raptor smiled broadly, patted her chest, and said confidently to the Archdruid of the Moon Claw:

"I admit that Black Shaw, the evil-minded bastard, is indeed much more interesting than the elves in Mount Hyjal. I stay with him all day long, and I can see a lot of interesting things, which makes me enjoy this lurking position. Work.

But you don’t have to worry about any further relationship between me and him.

because"

At this point, Miss Black Crow stopped laughing, showed a rather gossipy expression, took a few steps forward, lowered her voice and whispered to the Archdruid:

"I noticed that Blake Shaw didn't seem to like women.

There are many beautiful girls around him, even by our elven standards, they are very beautiful, but he does not show any pretense to any of them.

He was even very resistant to those girls having too close contact with him.

Not long ago in Tiragarde Sound, he took a bath with a male friend who was suspected of being non-heterosexual.

And for unknown reasons, Black has an instinctive resistance to all elves.

He takes pleasure in bullying elves.

It's hard for me to understand how he developed this strange personality. "

Miss Black Crow shrugged and said to the Archdruid of Moonclaw:

"Look, in this case, what can I do even if I really like him?"

"Ah, if that's the case, then I have nothing to worry about."

The archdruid finally felt relieved. He nodded with emotion and said:

"Relationships are the most troublesome of all, and the complex relationship between Malfurion and his brother and Lady Tyrande should be enough to teach you young men a lesson.

For us druids who are dedicated to nature, emotions are an inconvenience that only drags down the perception of nature. It will only slow down your speed when transforming and make your reactions sluggish.

That's not a good thing, don't get too close to it, and don't get too involved in it.

But beyond that, I have another question.

How did you manage to avoid Black Shaw's detection?

A master assassin like him shouldn't be able to detect your abnormality, right? "

"because this."

As if displaying a collection, Miss Black Crow took off a series of various natural sacred objects from her clothes, from crow sculptures to crow feather gems, to the eagle feather amulet she made herself, and finally to the birds. Mother Aviana's blessed holy objects and so on.

A table was spread out with all kinds of little odds and ends.

She pointed to the gadgets she carried with her and said to the Archdruid:

"When I first lurked around Black Shaw, he was not as powerful as he is now. At that time, I could hide from him with the use of crow sculptures and my understanding of natural deformation.

Later, as his power increased, I applied for many sacred objects from Moonlight Grove to cover my aura. The superposition of so many hidden powers has allowed my natural transformation to reach the transformation level of an Archdruid. "

Having said this, Miss Black Crow puffed up her chest very proudly and proudly, and said:

"I have encountered a very powerful legendary orc hunter in the Alterac Valley before, but he failed to detect my disguise! Although Black Shaw is cunning, his power level has not yet broken through to the legendary level.

Whether based on logic or strength, he couldn't see through my disguise.

But Blake Shaw's talent is terrifying. "

Miss Hisali Black Crow said to the Archdruid with a worried face:

"He is already preparing for his own wilderness trial. Once he completes this trial, it is very likely that he will immediately complete the promotion of legendary power. At that time, I will no longer be able to hide myself.

At that time, I had to leave him.

That also means my lurking job will be over. Forget about this, Your Excellency Archdruid, I ventured here today because I must convey an important message to you. "

Miss Black Crow entered the serious state that an intelligence worker should have.

She said very seriously to Shaun Moonclaw Archdruid in front of her:

"Before Blackshaw came to Stormsong Valley, he found a very powerful weapon on a mysterious island called Mechagon.

It is not driven by magic or magic that we are familiar with, but uses a power called 'technology'.

There I overheard the conversation between Black and King Mechagon. This weapon has the terrifying power to purify all filthy flesh and blood within a huge range in an instant.

And it has extra damage for elves like us.

It seems to be because we elves originate from a special life outside the "Titan System".

Black brought it to Stormsong Valley, where he apparently intended to use the weapon to attack and annihilate the Dark Worshipers, erasing all traces of them.

He has already made up his mind to kill.

In fact, in all my time lurking, I've never seen Black Shaw hate something so much.

He will definitely use that dangerous weapon.

Therefore, please be sure to pay attention to this in your next actions.

If the price for Black's destruction of the Church of Storms was the innocent tragic death of a group of elves, then I believe he would never have any hesitation.

After all, except for those he recognizes, everyone else is a 'tool man' who can be sacrificed in his eyes.

That's not what I said.

He said this himself, and said it more than once. "

"Very good, this is very important information."

The Great Druid of Moonclaw had a serious expression. After thinking for a few seconds, he asked again:

"But I noticed that you seem to trust Black Shaw's description of the dark power here. Do you think there is nothing worthy of further investigation or doubt in his statement?"

"No, I have no doubts about any of Black Shaw's predictions."

Miss Black Crow said categorically:

“In my time with him, I have seen every prediction Blake Shaw made come true.

Even the most outrageous offhand joke will soon be revealed to me as irrefutable truth.

I had also doubted the authenticity of the words spoken by this pirate, but after he showed his magic again and again, I gave up this meaningless doubt.

He is a pretty good prophet!

I can vouch for this with my soul and my credibility, and any information he divulges must be taken seriously. Speaking of which, I would like to ask you, Lord Moonclaw, the intelligence I sent back to Moonlight Grove confirmed the existence of darkness in the Emerald Dream.

Those great druids who have been unable to wake up, are they okay now? "

"They're in a bad situation."

The Archdruid of Moonclaw said sadly:

"More than one-third of the archdruids have had nightmares eroding their minds, and their souls have even shown signs of transcending their bodies. The power from dreams binds them, preventing them from waking up or being free.

After your information was sent back, I, several archdruids, and Staghelm investigated various beast dens. With our efforts, some of our companions who had not been completely captured by the nightmare returned to the material world with difficulty. .

The situation for our compatriots trapped in the dreamland is getting worse every day. We call on the Green Dragonflight for help, but the awakened ones have their own troubles to deal with.

It is said that her spouse, the powerful Dream Dragon Lord Eranikus, has disappeared in the dream and is suspected to have been corrupted by the nightmare.

The originally perfect and heavenly Emerald Dream seemed to suddenly turn into an unknown and dangerous hell. Even Malfurion, even the best among us, could not escape that terrible trouble.

Finally, there are the satyrs under my care.

Those half-demons who are good at walking in dreams and harming people with evil power have also escaped from the cage of the Holy Tree through the mutation of the Emerald Dream. I discovered that some of them came to Kul Tiras via dreamwalking.

They seem to be on a hunt, but it's unclear who their target is. "

Moonpaw pursed her lips.

Hesari Black Crow, who was listening carefully in front of her and looked ugly, said:

“That’s one of the reasons why I came here in person.

After discussing with the senior leaders of the Temple of the Moon and the Cenarion Order, we very much suspect that the Naga rebellion in the ruins of the underwater city in Ashenvale, the Warden being attacked and captured, and the sudden escape of the Satyrs are all related to something. connect.

Perhaps these dark things happening simultaneously on both continents stem from the same source.

The Temple of the Moon has also received revelations from Elune. The terrible darkness is eroding the material world. A turbulent era has arrived. Ancient evil is awakening, but we Kaldorei will no longer fight alone.

We must end this matter here before the darkness spreads. "

Miss Black Crow nodded worriedly, but soon she smiled again and said:

“Blake has found many powerful guys to gather here, and their purpose is to eradicate the Church of Storms, a cancer that pollutes the soul and spreads malice.

We can use their power to resolve the issues plaguing the Kaldorei once and for all. "

"I hope so."

The Archdruid is not as optimistic as Miss Black Crow.

He has experienced the Ancient War, the Satyr War, and even the Quicksand War, and he can be said to be a veteran who has fought all the wars in ten thousand years.

He had really fought against the legendary darkness.

He knew deeply that this kind of thing would never be simple.

Because he was quite curious about Black Crow's optimism.

After a few seconds of hesitation, he asked softly:

"You, a young man, may not understand what kind of power you are about to face, but I am curious, does your confidence come from that magical pirate Black Shaw?

Do you trust him that much?

Do you think as long as he is here, this battle will be won? "

"Well, it might be an exaggeration to say yes."

Hisari Blackcrow shrugged and said:

"But I think if Black dares to come here, he will definitely be able to complete his plan. But if you insist on asking this question, then I can only answer you, yes, Lord Moon Claw.

I have a lot of confidence in Blackshaw, and if I'm going up against an enemy I can't beat, then just being around him makes me feel confident for no reason.

Although he is not a hero or warrior in our traditional knowledge of Kaldorei.

But past experience tells me that as long as you have expectations for him, he will not let you down. "

"Um"

The old druid Moonclaw nodded. He was silent for more than ten seconds, and then said to Miss Black Crow in a serious voice:

“After this war is over, you can come back to Val’sharah with me.

Your Eagle God power needs a demigod to guide you in how to use it better, and the crisis in the Emerald Dream also requires the assistance of outstanding young people like you.

The most important thing is if you don't leave.

I'm afraid you won't be able to leave. "

The well-informed Lord Moonpaw sighed. He glanced at the ring on Miss Black Crow's finger and whispered:

"This ring seems to be covering more than just your hand."
