Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The sea sages in the Sage Fortress are performing a long-lasting ritual.

According to Windrunner's mother, who was previously sent to Stormsong Valley to collect information for Blake, this ritual had already begun before she arrived.

The Sea Sages adhered to the Church of Storms' tradition of "keeping a low profile". They limited the scope of the ritual to the fortress between the mountains and the coast, and did not even spread the power of the ritual outward.

Blake was probably the first outsider to penetrate deep into the fortress without alerting the Krasis aberration that was entering the material world.

But as the pirate went deeper inside, he could more clearly sense the power of shadows and waves.

"This ritual is not used to summon the Krasis. They seem to be charging something."

The pirate squatted on an eaves of the Sage Fortress. He used the energy detection he learned from Dean Lan Yue to carefully observe the direction of magic power underground and in the air.

The black, cold magic power is transported to the castle in the center of the fortress along the underground magic network, and only a small part will be sent to the aberration that is stepping into the world.

Blake is no longer what he once was.

Although he always calls himself a "neither learned nor skilled" warlock, through the magic test papers he practices every day, he has indeed mastered a wealth of magical knowledge that his profession should not master.

The minimum theoretical experience is definitely rich.

So soon, the pirates guessed the purpose of these magical arrangements.

"They are using the method of controlling magic power to arrange the time when the Krasis aberration enters the material world. They are not trying to summon it immediately.

Instead, they must leave it at a specific time and release it into the material world, creating a panic and destruction that can be precisely controlled by them. "

The pirate narrowed his eyes and thought:

"A self-directed disaster? Or using the power of the void thing to create an unexpected assassination? Well, it seems that Faao's arrival has indeed caused a 'little trouble' to the Haixians.

Are you planning to send the old pope to report to the Holy Light in such a violent way on your own territory?

A demigod from the void suddenly descended

The invasion of the evil abyss and the violent death of the righteous Pope sounds really great. "

Blake pursed his lips, wrapped the "Void Battle Clothes" around his body tighter, then threw out the hook lock, swayed into the air, and jumped into the castle ahead with a precise flash.

Although the pirates cursed and swore that they would not use this dangerous void power after Xal'atath's will left, in the current scene, without the protection of this thing, it is really difficult for the pirates to achieve the silent infiltration they are now. .

And Xal'atath did open up all the authority of the void power to Black, allowing the pirates to use this energy that warms the void at their disposal.

It is extremely docile.

The pirate doesn't even need to adapt to it, it can help him just right, it's like Black's innate power.

"Xal'atath's little bitch must have foreseen that I would have to deal with the malicious void when I returned to Kul Tiras, so she deliberately left this power to tempt me.

She wanted to use this to guide me from the lower shadow into the realm of the upper void. "

Blake walked quickly in the shadow-filled castle, saying in his heart:

"Hey, you really underestimate my willpower, I am a determined and cold-blooded pirate!

Isn't it a power that can perfectly strengthen the shadow connection and shadow magic, adapt to all my combat modes, and easily and quietly corrode the opponent's mind?

I don’t need it to be very powerful. It’s such a big deal to just give up.

Speaking of which, I haven't contacted Xal'atas for a long time.

I don’t know how her and the group of black dragons’ exploration in the world of Draenor is progressing? Counting the time, the first batch of dragon eggs they took to the outer lands should have hatched, right? "

He told himself this, and by the way, he made the void suit outside his body more reliable. This kind of duplicitous behavior is simply the best description of the word "true fragrance".

"Control the magic power! Inject the will of the tide into the holy objects! They are about to be awakened. Brothers, hold on, the long ceremony is about to end."

When Blake stepped into the upper hall of the castle, he suddenly heard a hoarse voice, which seemed to be encouraging his will, but the voice was full of exhaustion.

It's like a traveler walking in the desert who is hungry and thirsty.

But it happened to be mixed with a touch of enthusiasm that could be felt without deep experience. This made the pirate walk forward a little faster, and he jumped to a higher place like a monkey.

Use your own hidden magic eyeballs to look down from the crystal chandelier at the top of the hall.

It was brightly lit, and the entire hall was surrounded by the smoke of burning candles and ritual incense.

The smell released when burning candles made from the oil of certain deep-sea creatures is not unpleasant, but combined with the smell of incense, it makes people feel drowsy.

The surrounding candlelight danced, dispelling the darkness, lengthening the shadows of the sea sages surrounding the altar in the hall, and even distorting the shadows on the ground.

Many people were reciting the "Tide Scripture" in a low voice, and those low but unclear voices were superimposed and echoed in this secret hall.

The high-level sea sages wearing hoods turned the shadow magic and the power of the ocean tide extracted from the underground magic network into black torrents, wrapping around the altar in circles.

Pass through the ancient Octopus Altar and imbue the three objects placed on it with power.

Blake carefully manipulated the magic eyeball to rotate in the hall, and through the layers of intense swirling waves, he could vaguely see what was on the altar.

The one on the left is a black irregular smooth stone. The light in the hall seems to be absorbed, and the darkness seems to be pregnant with the whirlpool of the deep sea.

In the center is an ancient long-handled trident. Its appearance is not surprising, and it looks like a weapon that has been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.

It wasn't even edged, or all the edges had been worn away by the long battle.

It looked unremarkable, but most of the magic power poured into the altar by the tide sages was absorbed by this trident. It was like a greedy and hungry beast.

Just woke up from a long sleep.

It's very hungry.

The one on the right is a strange-looking crown.

It is not the thorn-tooth crown often worn by kings, but more like a crown worn by spellcasters, with blue-gray metal shaped into the outer ring of the crown.

It is dotted with rust-green silk and blue jewelry. The shape of a trident is shaped at the front of the crown, and a round gemstone is inlaid with extremely superb techniques.

It looked extremely luxurious, but when Blake changed the position of his magic eyeball and looked at it again, he unexpectedly discovered that the jewel on the crown looked like a round eye.

"As expected, it is indeed them."

When the pirate saw these three things, he breathed a sigh of relief in hiding.

He knew the three "holy objects" in front of him, and it could be said that he knew their origins and effects very well. He also verified what he had heard from Nat before when the sea sages were preparing gifts for Dai Lin.

There are quite a few hidden treasures hidden by the sea sages.

But after all, only these three things can be done to boast about the sacred objects that Haikou can bring to Dai Lin and help him achieve his great career as the "King of the Sea".

"The Void Stone that was born in the abyss, the Trident that controls the sea, and the Summoner's Crown that controls the storm. Wow, I haven't noticed it before. Doesn't this just fit in with the three major power characteristics of the Church of Storms?"

Blake observed them carefully and thought:

"Perhaps the Church of Storms can be established because the first generation of Hai Xian 'accidentally discovered' these three treasures in the sea. It's a pity that although the treasures are good, they are the purest 'cursed holy objects' in Azeroth. '.

These ancient gods were really uncreative when it came to developing followers.

He always likes to attach his own power to these strange treasures and then give them to 'destined people'.

N'Zoth's Three Sacred Relics of the Abyss, Yogg-Saron's Mystery Box, C'Thun's Black Stone Obelisk, Y'Shaarj's Seven Shas of Power, and even our most shameful Miss Xal'atath... Made myself the Blade of the Dark Empire.

The most amazing thing is that these seemingly problematic things can actually be passed down from generation to generation in the material world.

These guys have really accurately grasped the instinctive pursuit of power in life. They are all the best fishermen, and they can always easily catch those fish that they think they are lucky.

It seems that the great Her Majesty Dai Lin is the next 'fish' that N'Zos has set his sights on.

But, what do I do with these things? "

The pirate lay down above the hall and followed the crystal chandelier to land on the lamp holder. He was as light as a feather and did not let the candle-lighting lamp sway at all.

He held the Defiler Fragment and the Warp Cutter sword at his waist, and looked at the sea sages below who were exhausted from presiding over the ceremony for a long time with a predator's eyes.

"Twenty seconds!"

Blake arrived at a precise time.

The power of these sea sages to trigger the tide has been poured into the holy objects, filling the hall with the breath of the ocean. The strengthened Proudmoore bloodline has been activated. With his ultimate move fully activated, he is sure to win within twenty seconds. Kill all the Haixians below.

But should I really do this?

Even if he didn't think about alerting the enemy, just talking about these three abyss sacred objects, Blake didn't have the slightest idea to seize them.

This thing is a scourge!

Although they are powerful, the combination of three things into one can indeed give a person the power to control the ocean instantly, but the price to pay for using them is too high.

Moreover, these are the three holy objects of N'Zoth, which are an excellent bait to attract Dai Lin to join them. The Thousand-Beard Demon will definitely be hiding in his cage and paying attention to the status of the three holy objects.

Once Black kills all the sea sages and takes the holy objects away from the fortress, he may immediately attract the attention of N'zoth, or even attract the attack of the Thousand Beard Demon.

The Krasis aberration outside the fortress that was slowly walking towards the material world might be sent into the real world immediately.

And the purpose of risking everything is just to save Dai Lin?

Hmm, no matter how you calculate it, it doesn’t seem to be worth it.

"Can I still expect him to say thank you to me? He has placed a reward on my capture, and he stubbornly believes that the small victory last time has damaged my confidence.

I should also give him a 'surprise', right? "

Blake complained in his mind.

He's in a bit of trouble now.

But is the pirate's evil wisdom well-earned?

A new idea quickly formed in his mind, and in the blink of an eye he outlined a plan that was very beneficial to him. The three holy objects correspond to three different powers, and Blake can use them to complete the three most urgent things at hand.

Simply perfect!

After repeatedly thinking about the details of the new plan, the stinky pirate couldn't help but give himself a big thumbs up in his heart. He was really sharp in thinking.

The pirate lying on the chandelier inserted the Defiler fragment back into his waist.

He rubbed his hands, squatted there, and began to mobilize the void power in his body, decomposing them into the magic power of the lower shadows, and integrating them bit by bit into the magic flow of the underground magic network.

This change was quickly noticed by the tired Haixians below.

The leader of the old man shouted happily:

"The magic power is increasing! The sacred object must be awakened soon, and our ritual is about to be completed! Children of the Tide, cheer up and work harder! Complete the ritual tonight.

The tide will bestow upon us great praise, and we will be given the whole world. "

This call and the entanglement of the increasingly thick shadow magic in the hall cheered up the spirits of the sea sages who had not eaten or drank for a long time, and their voices in reciting the holy scriptures became more and more sincere.

"What are you doing! My little master, I left my power to you, not to let you use it to nourish N'Zoth's holy relics! Is it easy for me to save so much pure void with so much hard work?

Even if you don't use it, you shouldn't waste this precious power like this! "

Just as the pirate was happily "helping" to complete the ceremony, a familiar scream echoed in his heart. Sataras, who had been away from Black for some time, felt distressed and angrily screamed:

"You loser! I'm starting to regret leaving you with control of my powers."

"Huh? Why did you jump out suddenly?"

Blake was surprised and asked in his heart:

"Didn't you say that it's difficult for you to contact me from a world away?"

"Because you have entered this place filled with the breath of the void, the power of N'Zoth spread here has strengthened the perception between the essence of the void.

how?

I came back temporarily to see my dear little master, but aren't you happy? "

Xalatas said fiercely while taking over Black's carelessly wasted power again:

"You don't love me anymore?

You must have hooked up with other females while I was away, right? I knew that you men are the ones who can't control your lower body!

Look at you, how long have I been gone? You just pass the gift I gave you to another void creature.

Is N'Zoth nice to you? My little master.

Why do you want to help it complete this ritual?

Huh! Aren’t those the three sacred objects of the abyss!

Why are they here?

They should have been deliberately scattered around the world by N'Zoth thousands of years ago to spread its reputation for depravity. "

Xal'atath said suspiciously:

"Why do you always pick up these strange things related to dark forces, my little master? Do you have the kind of magical physique that naturally attracts corrupt forces?"

"I do not know."

Blake shrugged and replied:

"Stop talking nonsense now, you come and control your power to awaken the three holy objects quickly.

I'm still waiting to see Dai Lin's expression when she gets them.

This is a gift to my old father. As the successor, I have the responsibility to make them more perfect to please the old man.

Are you right? "
