Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Although he didn't understand why Blake had to help N'Zoth's believers awaken the three ancient holy objects, Xal'atath, who returned temporarily, was ultimately unable to resist Blake's request.

After all, the "persona" she created for herself was that of a black-faced, slutty big sister who responded to every request. If she refused Black's request because she felt sorry for her power, it would definitely destroy the "friendly relationship" between herself and Black.

It is difficult to build up the personal reputation of a stinky pirate.

Xal'atath had finally managed to get her reputation to "Intimacy", and she didn't want to waste all her efforts just because of a little strength.

Under the exquisite control of Xal'atath, the genuine Void Essence, the purest void power was broken down into balls of powerful lower shadow magic, which penetrated into the finishing process below in a "moisturizing and silent" way. During the ceremony.

The surge in magic power made the sea sages ecstatic.

They felt the familiar sound of the void calling again, as if N'Zoth himself appeared and praised their great dedication.

And it wraps their bodies with warm shadows, washing away their mental fatigue and infusing them with new and endless energy.

This invigorated the spirits of the sea sages who were already running out of gas in the hall, and even the voices chanting the temple became louder.

Unfortunately, this "blessing" is just an illusion.

"These guys are dead."

Xal'atath spoke in Black's mind in her signature sarcastic tone:

"The three holy objects have been sleeping for too long, and their internal power has dissipated a lot. In order to reawaken them, these guys forcibly performed a void infusion ritual.

But is it so easy to recharge the fallen relic created by N'Zoth himself?

They use their bodies as void carriers and their souls as the medium to supplement the weakness of the three holy objects, as if they are actively sending themselves into the mouths of hungry beasts.

Let this corrupted thing devour their life force and pour its cold malice into their bodies.

After the ritual is completed, they will die in the most miserable way for up to a week, allowing the malice derived from the void to dominate their bodies again and turn them into cursed forms.

The saddest thing is that they don't even have a complete soul to perceive all this happening.

They are long dead!

The moment they intervened in this ritual, they had put their heads into the noose, and all they could see now was the slow tightening of the noose, bit by bit squeezing the last breaths out of their lungs.

The most sad thing is that even though they have been so dedicated to the void, the void does not love them that much. "

Xalatas sneered, put on a cold and arrogant tone, and said:

"The results of their work in the past few days are not even comparable to my help in these few minutes. They are really pathetic skin and soul, they are completely the tools used by N'Zoth to break through the seal.

Not even cannon fodder. "

"I said that after you went to the outer lands, why did you say this more and more often, and there was this weird emphasis? Did you learn it from the black dragons?"

Blake was now sitting on the edge of the chandelier, crossing his legs and looking at the fanatical storm believers below. His leisurely posture was about to pick up the wine and take a sip.

The pirate complained:

"You are worthy of being the essence of the void who is good at disguise. In just a few words, you can convey the arrogance and indifference of the black dragons to the bone. Speaking of which, my dear princess, are your actions in the world of Draenor going well? ?

The most important thing is, have you received the reward I gave you? "

"It went smoothly! It was quite smooth. After all, I was the one leading the team myself. How could it not be smooth?"

Xal'atath gave a long laugh and said:

“We crossed the wasteland of Hellfire Peninsula, passed through a muddy low-lying swamp, and entered the desolate and vast Gorgrond Highlands.

According to the request of the Dragon Mother, we built a nest in the vast mountains.

The ancestral land of the Blackstone Orcs is actually not bad. Although it is wild and infected by evil energy, there are finally some creatures surviving there, which is enough to satisfy the appetite of the Black Dragon Legion.

It's those Gronns and ogres that are so annoying.

They have been harassing us. The Dragon Mother led the black dragons to hunt down several Gorons before letting them calm down.

But they heard that the barbaric Gronns were also preparing to fight back, and the ogres who obeyed them formed an army to besiege the Black Dragon's Lair.

But that has nothing to do with me anymore. "

Void Essence paused and said proudly:

"I have completely gained the trust of the Dragon Mother. She mobilized a group of black dragons as my servants and asked me to establish a second territory for the black dragons elsewhere in Draenor.

Apparently the young master guessed it right again. The Mother Dragon has seen the threat of the Gorons. Those barbaric things are not inferior to the black dragons in terms of brute force. Although they cannot fly, they can control the power of the earth.

It's really annoying, they're a big nuisance.

I will build a lair in the arakkoa ruins in the Aklan Peaks. The gorgeous ruins left by the arakkoa empire, which has been mostly exterminated by the orcs, are in line with the aesthetics of the black dragon.

My servants are enthusiastically rebuilding the palace, planning to use it as the new 'Black Wing Lair'.

Now I just need to wait for the Dragon Mother to be killed by the Gronns in a surprise attack, and I can naturally become the Black Dragon Queen.

As for the reward you gave me."

Xalatas paused, as if to reveal the answer to a riddle, and with a sense of emotion, she said to Black:

"I sneaked into the orcs' ancient holy mountain of Washhu in the Nagrand grassland. I saw the dying Naaru. It had completed most of the process of transforming into an entropy demon. It was about to become a half-god of darkness and void. god.

That was really a big surprise.

When I saw it, my heart was filled with happiness. My little master, I knew you loved me, so you were willing to send such a wonderful thing to me.

You really have me in your heart. "

As he spoke, Xal'atath made the strange sound of a passionate kiss in Black's mind, like kissing a pirate's heart, but Black felt nothing.

He grinned and said:

"From your tone, you are very satisfied with it, so what is your decision? Are you going to leave me right now? The void power contained in that entropy demon is enough to allow you to reshape your body in the material world, right?"

This is a good opportunity to escape the evil pirates who have been imprisoning you. Little girl, listen to my advice. Opportunities like this are rare, so you must seize it. "

"Do you really want to see me have a physical body? Little Master."

Xal'atath said in a playful and lustful tone:

"What are you going to do to me now that I have the eye candy entity?"

"Be serious, this is serious business."

Blake said quietly:

"I will ignore you while you are here. Seriously, can you, a flesh and blood monster covered with abscesses, eyeballs and tentacles, have some self-awareness?

Just because I'm wearing a blindfold doesn't mean I'm blind. "

"You are stereotyping the things in the void! My dear little master, our species are no less diverse than the creatures in Azeroth, and the ugly Old God is just one of us.

They don't represent all of us. "

Xal'atath retorted:

"And with the strange power given by the void, I can easily change my appearance and body shape. I can turn into whoever you want to see. From the perspective of flesh and blood, I am her, without any pretense or falsehood. .

Isn’t this what you men long for most?

Okay, I won’t joke with you anymore, my innocent little master.

Although I was very moved when I saw the entropy demon, I will not choose to leave you at this moment and live alone in a cold world that is not friendly to me.

well.

Happiness belongs to others, my happiness is only yours.

I gave up on extracting the power of the entropy demon. I just tasted it briefly and then gave up on it. Now that thing has been taken over by the Dragon Mother's servants.

They hide in the holy land of the orcs and use the void power of the entropy demon to corrupt the dragon eggs they bring.

That's a terrible plan.

Following Deathwing's instructions before his defeat, Nefarian made evil weapons for his father in Blackwing Lair that could defeat the Aspect Dragon Legion.

What the Mother of Dragons wants to make for Deathwing is the Void Divine Dragon that can devour the world. "

Xal'atath told his young master all the secrets he knew about the Black Dragon Legion. But when she saw the disapproving expression on the pirate's face, she knew that the information she brought was meaningless to the little master.

This magical pirate prophet has undoubtedly seen it all.

So in order to please her little master, she decided to tell some information that Blake might not know.

While maintaining the infusion of void power transformation magic into the three holy objects below, Xal'atath whispered to Black:

"Of course, I will not hide all my thoughts from my little master. I have always been so loyal. There is another important reason why I did not take away the power of the Entropy Demon.

Little master, the world of Draenor is going to be in chaos. "

"Um?"

Blake asked in surprise:

"The orcs have brought that world to the brink of death. It is wailing and falling into death every day. It is a world that is about to collapse. How can it get worse if it continues to be chaotic?"

"The Legion has its sights on it."

Xal'atath did not play word games and said straightforwardly:

"In the past month or so, a new group of forces has emerged in the polluted ocean of Draenor. They are your old friends, the Black Spirit pirates who have appeared inexplicably in the orc world.

Nine black knights and their evil minions are wreaking havoc on Draenor's coastline. In the past week alone, I have felt at least ten medium-range demonic invasions.

The Legion is executing a new plan in that world

And that's not the worst.

The old orc who was able to return to his world because of your kindness, the crazy Ner'zhul. In the second week after returning to the already damaged Shadowmoon Valley, he summoned an incredible creature from the stars. s things"

"A dark star orbiting beyond the world of Draenor?"

Black suddenly said a noun, which made Xal'atath silent for a few seconds. Void Essence sighed helplessly and said:

"Well, I know that none of this can be hidden from the magical you. Yes, the old Ner'zhul summoned the terrifying Dark Star, which was a Naaru that had been voided hundreds of years ago. .

It is already a demigod of the void in the true sense, and its power is what I long for. When it crashed into Shadowmoon Valley, it easily destroyed the Burning Legion's landing there.

At least ten demons from the vanguard legions fell into the man-made void abyss overnight, and their bodies were left behind after they died tragically.

But their counterattack also left the Dark Star in pieces. I heard that he was already gathering the remaining orcs from all over Draenor to go to Shadowmoon Valley.

No one knew what Ner'zhul was doing.

But there is no doubt that he has his own plan, and I think his plan should be related to you, right? Little master, what kind of agreement did you reach in private?

Allows you to control the changes in another world in the world of Azeroth. "

"I have no idea."

Blake shrugged calmly and said:

"Although in your opinion I am omniscient and omnipotent, that is just the blind awe of the little fan girl who admires me. I am not really as omnipotent as you think.

I really don't know what Ner'zhul is going to do, although I can guess a little bit. It's no wonder that the Lord of the Djinn has been very inactive on the endless sea of ​​Azeroth recently.

I thought it was tired of making deals with other people and was going to retire to the mountains and forests.

Now it seems that our Lord Deng Shen has taken a ‘big order’ and is quietly making a fortune. Let’s talk about my human friends. Is their adventure in the name of the Holy Light going smoothly? "

"Probably as you expected."

Like most qualified intelligence workers, Xalatas reported:

"They entered the world of Draenor later than us, and almost came to the Outland with the expedition of the Quel'dorei elves, but compared to the unlucky Quel'dorei elves who were chased by the ogres, the Paladins Our journey went incredibly smoothly.

According to the reports from the black dragon servants I stayed in Hellfire Peninsula, as soon as those Paladins entered Hellfire Peninsula, they encountered Draenei scouts who took the initiative to wait for them there.

Then he was taken to the draenei's hidden city on the edge of the Hellfire Peninsula, and a few days later he was sent to the draenei's large city deep in the swamp.

According to the latest news I got, they were sent to the ruins of Shattrath City to meet with the leader of the Draenei. There is no doubt that the Paladins are close to the knowledge they seek.

If everything goes well, it is estimated that they will be able to return home next month.

This terrible efficiency shocked me. "

"Nothing surprising."

Blake looked like he had everything under control and said casually:

"This is the cooperation of two prophets. For two people who can see into the future, we don't even need to meet, and we can arrange everything in a "tacit understanding".

Well, the world is going to be as lively as I expected.

The power of the Holy Light will grow greatly, and the old man Faao will definitely jump with joy. With this outstanding contribution I have made to the Holy Light, he will selectively forget the 'career' I am about to advance.

But what about the Atama Crystal?

My servant, have you found it? "

"not yet."

Xal'atath whispered:

"But I already have some clues, and I will go find the legendary holy object myself. But little master, in your words, my loyalty needs to be praised.

I want to ask you for something. "

"what would you like?"

Blake rolled his eyes and said:

"Please don't say anything stupid like asking me to give you your life."

"Uh, okay, then I'll change it."

Xal'atath hesitated and said:

"Although this undercover career is very interesting, I am tired of wandering alone, and I want to return to you, my little master.

After I bring you an Atama Crystal, I want you not to say anything crazy like giving me freedom.

The world of Draenor is in a state of flux. This is not a long-term place to live. I want to stay by your side. Only by your side will I feel at ease.

Ah, this is the fate of a woman, she has to spend her whole life fighting for the love in her heart.

Without me by your side to take care of you, you would be lonely, right? "
