Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Mrs. Jin Jian undoubtedly misunderstood something.

She only saw the surface, but it was difficult to accurately guess Blake's true identity without any evidence, but this did not hinder Ms. Jinjian's desire to protect her daughter.

To be honest, when a responsible mother saw her drunken daughter staying with a dangerous person, she didn't immediately pull out her staff to break Black's legs. This proved that Mrs. Golden Sword was very calm.

But her request made Blake's eyes widen, followed by a burst of laughter.

The pirate laughed up and down, as if he had heard the funniest joke, but he still maintained his body stability and did not wake up the drunk Fenna.

After he finished laughing, the magic eyeball on his shoulder turned to look at the frosty-faced Mrs. Golden Sword.

He said:

"You misunderstood, madam. Your daughter and I do have a closer relationship than friends, but it's definitely not what you thought. In fact, I was just enlightening her.

After you made her so sad, taking on the work that should have been yours.

As I just said, your behavior of linking her future to elven politics made Fenner very disappointed. It was already a very rare concession for her to accept the princess title given to her by Dailin.

Maybe you should do it gradually.

Furthermore, I really don’t think Fenna’s character is suitable to be your spokesperson for Quel’Thalas in the human kingdom. She, well, has a standard warrior-like thinking and can easily mess up some things.

It might be better for you to serve as Quel'Thalas' envoy to Kul Tiras. "

"Thank you for your advice, human. I will think about it carefully."

Mrs. Jin Jian said with an indifferent look:

"But I think Fenner should go back. She has had enough of being petty. She cannot miss tomorrow's ceremony."

"Tsk, tsk, I finally remembered why I don't like elves."

Blake grinned and said:

"If you have to say things that can be said in such a dismissive tone, you elves of Quel'Thalas who have high ambitions but low power really deserve a beating.

Alas, there is only one elf as humble and gentle as my friend Kael'thas, and there cannot be a better Quel'dorei than him.

But you are an elder, so I don’t have the same experience as you.

Take her back.

I'm done enlightening her, she'll know what to do. "

As he spoke, Blake gently helped Fenner up.

She drank too much today, staggered to her feet and was still talking nonsense. When Black handed her over to Mrs. Golden Sword, the pirate suddenly asked in a low voice:

"I'm very curious. Did Dai Lin pursue you back then because he liked your aloof style?"

"No, you misunderstood, Mr. Pirate."

Mrs. Jinjian supported her drunk daughter. She looked at Blake and said:

"My companions and I are friendly to our friends. We become indifferent only when facing conspirators and evil people. Do you think you are the former? Or the latter?

Get out of here.

The best a pirate can get in Kul Tiras is the gallows, but you claim to be Finna's friend, and I don't want to cause her any more grief. "

"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am."

Black chuckled lightly and performed standard elf etiquette in a serious manner. He took a step back and said:

"I'm leaving now, but I believe we will meet again. Please remember what you said today and don't make this stupid warrior sad anymore. It's really troublesome for her to cry."

After saying that, the pirate disappeared into the rhythmic shadow, as if disappearing into his own elongated shadow under the sun. After he disappeared, Mrs. Golden Sword relaxed her clenched fingers.

This pirate is undoubtedly a dangerous person. She is now very worried about Fenner's standards for making friends, and is thinking about whether to tell Dai Lin about Blake's appearance.

But after much thought, the lady decided to hide the news.

She knew that if she chose to tell the truth, Fenner's character would definitely lead to an even more troublesome situation.

"Oh, my stupid daughter, you must not follow my old path."

Mrs. Jinjian held her daughter who was talking nonsense and smelling of alcohol. She reached out to brush Fenner's hair and said softly:

"Speaking of which, Dai Lin seems to attach great importance to this pirate. I once saw him reading information about this pirate in the study. Does this guy have any secrets?"

With such doubts, Mrs. Jinjian opened a temporary portal and disappeared on the hillside with Fenna.

After she left, the pirate's figure reappeared in the shadow of a branch not far away, and beside him was the watcher's adjutant Nasa, who was wearing moonlight armor.

"Do you like doing these extraneous things?"

Nasa said in a deep voice:

"You know that you have your name on the Kul Tiras Navy's bounty. Once Gina Golden Sword tells Dai Lin the news about your presence here, tomorrow's operations will be greatly affected."

"What can I do? The poor girl ran over crying, how can I drive her away? You don't know how powerful her 'girlfriends' are."

Blake twisted the skull flask from his waist, made a joke first, and then said firmly:

"Mrs. Jinjian is a very wise person. For the sake of her precious daughter, she will help me hide the news. To say the least, what will happen even if she informs?

Can Dailin still deploy his fleet to Stormsong?

impossible.

The fleet is not mobilized as quickly as you think, and there is simply no time. Judging from the scale of what will happen tomorrow, one more local strongman or one less will not affect the overall situation at all.

Just think of it as relaxing before the fight.

Let's go, the Holy Light Celebration personally hosted by His Majesty Fa'ao is about to begin. Let's go and listen to the enlightenment of the Holy Light, just as we are blessed with good luck.

If the Holy Light doesn't excommunicate us two heretics, I'll just pray again and hope that we can survive after tomorrow. "

"I am indeed an infidel, I admit it. But you are not, you are an even worse infidel."

Adjutant Nasa complained:

"If the Holy Light wants to excommunicate you, it must excommunicate you first. The time you spent turning into ashes is enough for me to escape."

"Hey, is it my imagination?"

Blake pouted and said:

"How come your ability to complain has improved so quickly during this period? Did you use some strange training methods? Can you teach me? The joke storage in my mind is almost exhausted.

If this continues, we won’t be able to tell jokes to liven up the atmosphere and inspire people.

You know how much my crew loves to hear my jokes. "

Facing the stinky pirate's routine bullshit, Nasa had no reaction. She turned around and jumped into the shadow of the treetops to disappear. She didn't even bother to talk to Black.

It feels like a life wasted.

Of course, Blake didn't care about Nasa's indifference. He laughed. Before leaving, the magic eyeball on his shoulder rotated silently and glanced at the grass beyond the hillside.

As if he didn't notice anything, he disappeared into the shadows.

A few seconds later, a strange, lifelike wooden puppy tied with willow branches and silk threads suddenly jumped out of the lush control. It jumped left and right, and then rushed down the hillside.

"It's so lively."

In the shadow of the branches, the pirate crouched and watched the wooden puppy leave.

He recognized it as the wood magic used by the Thornspeakers of Drustvar.

There is no trace of darkness on that thing, and the power of nature is actively helping to cover it up. This is pure Druid magic, and of course it is not the same system as the natural magic of the Cenarion Order.

"His Excellency Orfa said he didn't care, but he actually sent someone over. Tsk tsk, as expected, duplicity is a common characteristic of all Kul Tiran people."

The pirate grinned.

He had no intention of following the wooden puppy to find the hidden Jingspeakers. The fact that they didn't show up showed that they wanted to keep a low profile.

But since they are here, they must also participate in the action of expelling the Tide Sage.

This means that Blake has another hidden reinforcement.

"Wow, is this the feeling of justice uniting to beat evil? This inexhaustible feeling is really great.

But if it fell on me, it would be a real headache. "

The pirate laughed, turned around and left the place for real.

On the other side, while his precious eldest daughter was drunk and "making trouble", on the Tiragarde Strait, Admiral Daelin and her family and guests officially set off from Proudmoore Fortress to Stowe. Song Valley.

They chose to take a boat.

Under the personal control of high-ranking Sea Sage Brother Pike and several Sea Sages, this low-key ship departed from Boralus Port and reached Mariner's Edge Port in Stormsong Valley in less than three hours.

"Fenna is already there in advance. Tomorrow is the child's big day. From tomorrow on, she will officially become a member of the Proudmoore family."

In the cabin, Dai Lin, who was wearing loose aristocratic clothing, was happily sipping wine and said to his well-dressed wife:

"Perhaps we can clear out the room where Drake lives and give Fenna a long-term stay."

"If you have a daughter, you don't want a son, right?"

Dai Lin's proposal made Queen Catherine a little dissatisfied. She said coldly:

"No, I refuse. That house will always belong to my son, and no one can take it away. I can give my room to Fenner, and I will live in the garden.

This will not disturb your daily meeting with Gina. If you need it, I can give her my crown. "

"Oh, don't you and Gina have a good relationship?"

Dai Lin said with a headache:

"And Gina emphasized when she came here on the first day that she has no intention of competing with you for the queen. She will live in the mage tower over Bridgeport.

Catherine, I was wrong, I shouldn't have brought up Drake.

I beg you, don’t do this in front of the children tomorrow, okay? "

"I'm not angry because you're giving up Drake's house to your daughter, Dailin! You're a master at pretending to be confused!"

The queen was even more angry.

She stood up and whispered to Dai Lin:

"You know where our Drake is! You know he's still alive, why don't you bring him back! You can obviously do it, but you have to let him be a little pirate outside.

Drake is a little bastard too!

He obviously survived, why didn't he come back to see his poor mother? You want me to continue to bear the pain of losing my son. Are you, father and son, joining forces to make me angry to death?

Only my little daughter feels sorry for me, but even little Gianna is no longer good and secretly hides the love letters written by boys to her. How old is she!

Dai Lin, you don’t care!

dare you laugh! "

"Didn't you reprimand me before?"

The Admiral drank wine with a headache on his face, waved his hand and said;

"But I just said a few words, and our baby girl started wiping tears. I also beat Tanred, and they turned around and ran out with Fenner.

Who is worrying about the children and keeping them awake all night?

Okay, Catherine, I promise you, the kids will be fine. As for Derek, he's a little more complicated, but I'll take care of it.

Can you please give your poor husband some credit? "

"I just don't want to lose him again."

The queen closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. She was silent for a few seconds, turned around and glared at her husband fiercely, then walked out of the cabin in a graceful queenly manner.

When leaving, she turned back to Dai Lin and said:

"Bring him back as soon as possible, even if it's just to meet with me. I don't care about your king's games, but you must promise that you can't hurt my son!"

After saying that, the queen pushed the door open and left, leaving Dailin drinking alone in the cabin. A few minutes later, the loyal knight Cyrus strode into the cabin and whispered something to his king.

Dai Lin, who was drinking, frowned.

"Farivel set sail from Port Boralus with all his ships? Why? Does his chamber have any important business? I don't remember that I conveyed to him the order to sail urgently."

Dai Lin asked:

"Any other news?"

"The information he reported to the Admiralty was to go to the Treasure Coast and personally escort and transport a batch of important materials from the Church of Storms. This was confirmed by the thirty-five sea sages who were on board.

But Brother Pike told me that he had no orders from the church's higher-ups. "

The great knight whispered:

"Brother Pike is the bishop of the Church of Storms in Port Boralus. In theory, the transfer of sea sages must have his approval. That's why I found this matter strange and came to report to you.

Should an officer be dispatched urgently to inquire? "

"Why only send officers to inquire?"

Dai Lin shook her head expressionlessly and said:

“I know a lot of people have nicknamed Farrewell and his Chamber of Commerce the ‘Admiral’s Moneybags’.

I also know that he has been running part of the business for House Proudmoore for more than ten years and has never made a mistake. I also know that during the Orc War, he was responsible for the logistics of the fleet and made great contributions.

But rules are rules!

According to the decree of the Admiralty, it was tantamount to treason to sail more than twenty heavily armed ships in a grand fleet without the permission of the admiral.

The reasons for such abnormal behavior must be clarified.

The first precedent cannot be set, otherwise the Admiralty will lose its prestige!

The Third Fleet anchored in the harbor sent an advance team to intercept Farrewell and his fleet, forcing them to return to port. The Admiralty questioned him about the purpose of his voyage and made him pay a triple fine.

If he thinks that having a good personal relationship with me will violate fleet laws, then he should learn this lesson!

Please help me invite His Majesty Jean over.

There are some things that it's time to talk to him about. "
