Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 850 181. This damn sense of responsibility will kill me one day - more updates for Huo Zheng Ting Hao [1020]

The downfall of the Church of Storms came very suddenly, which can be said to be a disaster.

But as the Church of Holy Light and Kul Tiras officials began to announce the dark truth about the Church of Storms, the restless believers immediately split within themselves.

Some pan-believers converted to the Holy Light without any psychological burden, especially the believers in Stormsong Valley.

They saw the true face of the Haixians with their own eyes.

Unless they are mentally ill or have antisocial personality, most people realize that they are bewitched by evil gods.

This kind of abandonment has no psychological burden.

As a result, the Holy Light Church's expansion in Stormsong Valley is proceeding smoothly, and believers are pouring into the church to be baptized every day.

That heated scene made Archbishop Isenlien, a fanatic, so happy that he wanted to cry.

He had to pray late every night and report the good news to the Holy Light, which also made a group of priests who prayed with him so exhausted that their legs almost broke in a few days.

But compared with everything going smoothly in Stormsong Valley, things are not going well here in Tiragarde Strait.

First of all, the Storm believers here have not seen the darkening of the Church of Storms with their own eyes, and they do not quite believe the crazy talk of those Stormsong country people.

On the other hand, Boralus City is a commercial port.

Merchants and sailors from the entire country gather here. Compared with the Holy Light that can give them peace of mind, these guys who have to sail the sea all year round obviously need the power of the tide of the Church of Storms to protect their safety.

The Church of Storms can occupy the mainstream of faith in the South China Sea, not only because the sea sages can speak well, but also because they are truly capable of protecting sailing ships. This is why they are respected by people who make a living on the sea.

This very practical benefit cannot be given by the Holy Light.

Therefore, even if such a big thing happens to the Church of Storms, there are still very few people who abandon the Storm Faith in Port Boralus.

And after preaching for the past few days, the pastors discovered a very embarrassing problem.

The Tide Book of the Church of Storms records a very strange doctrine, that is, when their lives are threatened, believers can pretend to change their faith and regret it later.

This is written in the scriptures. It seems that the Church of Storms has already made preparations.

Therefore, many believers quickly converted to the Holy Light. After receiving the Holy Emblem, they returned home and still secretly worshiped Hai Tide. This was embarrassing!

What church wants to admit a group of young people who are ready to rebel at any time?

It's not Tarot Club, right?

Therefore, in Port Boralus, the progress of the Holy Light Church was extremely slow, which made Archbishop Isenlion very dissatisfied. He even wanted to erect a fire rack and burn several heretics to death.

But this fatal idea was immediately rejected by the Pope.

The old pope hasn’t returned to the Eastern Continent yet.

He called Isenlien into the room and cursed him, asking him not to do such evil things of religious persecution. Take your time and be patient, time is on the Holy Light Church's side.

Not to mention the level of belief, let’s talk about the level of reality. Under the orders of Queen Catherine and the awakened Dailin, everything related to the Tide Sage in the entire Boralus Port was banned and sealed.

Stormsong Monastery, the base camp of the sea sages in Boralus, is naturally a top priority.

From the monastery bishop to Brother Pike, nearly a hundred sea sages were arrested.

There were indeed people who resisted stubbornly, but faced with the suppression of the Holy Knights led by the Great Knight who had just defeated the Evil God, these sea sages could not even make a splash.

Those who were identified by the guardians of truth and had been corrupted by the void were killed on the spot, and even their souls were purified by the holy fire ceremony. After a necessary killing, only the dozen or so people in front of them were left in the monastery.

They are the pure ones.

They are also considered heretics within the Church of Storms, but because each of them has their own abilities, Lord Stormsong has no intention of killing them, but just "exiles" them outside the base camp.

This is not a kindness.

As sea sages who study the Tide Codex, it is only a matter of time before they fall under the temptation of the void. There were originally hundreds of these exiled pure ones.

But now there are only these few hairy people left, which has proved that Lord Stormsong's treatment is correct. The pure ones are just brothers who have gone astray. Sooner or later, they will return to the dark faith of the ancient gods.

"You are not contaminated by the void, but your fall is only a matter of time. Lady Catherine cannot handle you well. The Pope does not allow you 'good people' to be slaughtered at will."

Gene said to the dozen pure sea sages sitting in the darkness across the cage:

“The Pope declared that no one should be punished for sins they have not committed. I personally agree with this view, but the problem is that your existence is a threat to anyone.

According to the news I heard, you will be sent to the black prison of Tordago. Tsk tsk, life is worse than death. "

No one answered Gene's words.

The development of the situation has brought the Haixians to the verge of collapse.

They may be able to prove the purity of their faith before the Holy Light, but it is clear that they cannot convince the people who have been harmed by their dark companions.

No one in this land will believe them anymore.

Even the merchants and sailors who pretended to convert were only seeking the protection of the Tide Codex, rather than truly supporting the faith of the Storm Tide.

They have become "persona non grata" in Kul Tiras.

"Okay, everyone, I'm not here to mock you, nor am I here to watch a death row prisoner confess."

Jean moved his gloved fingers and said to the pure sea sages in front of him:

“I’m here to give you a way out.

Kul Tiras no longer welcomes you, but Gilneas is willing to give you a way to go. My country is suffering from the invasion of dark forces, and the holy light cannot open up the running darkness there.

I don't know how to keep my people away from the darkness, but maybe you will be a part of my attempt. At least, you can serve my fleet.

My navy is too weak and I need your help. "

These words made Brother Pike in the cage suddenly raise his head. The bald monk looked at Jean up and down, and he said in a dumb voice:

"Aren't you afraid of the power of darkness we carry? You should have heard that it is only a matter of time before we pure ones fall into the void."

"I'm afraid."

The gray-haired Jean said calmly:

"I have also fought against those void creations, and I know very well how terrible the curse they will spread is. But I am not afraid, because your evil is nothing compared to the evil that pervades my country.

An elite trained werewolf can easily chop off the heads of you Xil. A group of ferocious werewolf warriors can slaughter an equal number of Dark Sea Sages.

Someone told me that the werewolf curse was a blessing for weak humans. I once scoffed at this statement.

but i found

In fact, it’s not bad to change your mind occasionally.

At least in terms of combat effectiveness, my werewolves can easily suppress you and there is no need to worry about rebellion. Of course, the corrosion of the mind by the void is a big problem, and the werewolf's mind is inherently unstable.

But how to say it? "

Genn Greymane showed a half-smiling expression and said:

"Crazy werewolves will cause more terrible carnage than intelligent werewolves. They will fall into the madness of carnival, but the wild beast nature from Goldrinn will make it difficult for them to truly become creatures of the void.

Therefore, if you corrupt their minds, then they will definitely give you a big 'surprise'. "

"It's one thing that you're not afraid, but it's another thing that we don't want to hurt you."

Brother Pike bowed his head.

He said:

"Leave, Your Majesty Jean.

We do not want to join our dark brethren in spreading fear and corruption. Perhaps, dying of old age in the black prison of Tordago is the ending that we people deserve.

We are on the wrong track.

We have no choice, but we must pay the price for this path of strength. "

"You think beautifully!"

Jean waved his hand, and immediately two tall and round Royal Knights of Kul Tiras stepped forward and opened the prison door for the pure ones.

Facing the astonished Brother Pike, Gene touched his beard and said:

"Before the Church of Storms was destroyed, it sent missionaries to all the countries with coastlines in the Eastern Continent, including Gilneas. Rather than letting those dark madmen cause a void pollution in my country, I might as well send you pure ones Take it.

At least you are still some time away from your fall, and the crisis of my country is already close at hand. "

Gene said in a tone that could not be refused:

"This is all the trouble caused by you Hai Xian, you must be responsible for dealing with them! If you call yourself pure, then show me how different you are.

If you do well, I can even set aside an area for you on the coast of Gilneas to rebuild the Church of the Storms to preach the true will of the sea and become a true priest of the sea.

You can save this from the source.

You can also stay here and wait to be sent to the Black Prison of Tordago.

This is your freedom.

I don't interfere. "

The king of Gilneas took out his pocket watch and looked at it. He said:

"You have three hours to consider this choice. After three hours, I will go back. I don't care if anyone comes with me.

But for you, it's different.

It took me a lot of favors to save you from Dai Lin and Catherine. Don't let my investment go to waste.

We Gilneans hate losing money. "

——

Genn is going home, and so is the Druid.

In the city of Brennadan in Stormsong Valley, Archdruid Shaun Moonclaw was packing his luggage. Beside him, Thessaly Black Crow was also helping to pack his luggage.

This Archdruid has many things.

Since arriving in Kul Tiras, he has been collecting local plant and animal samples, which he will bring back to Val'sharah for research.

The little star who ran to the Cenarion Order to get good things originally planned to go with the archdruid.

But Shaun didn't go back to Moonlight Grove, so he had to let Little Star go alone.

"The escaped satyrs have not yet been hanged. Some colleagues warned me through dreams, saying that there are rebellious satyrs in the jungle of Val'sharah, and I must rush back."

As the Archdruid packed up his gifts, he said to the Black Crow lady beside him:

"You can go back with me, Black Crow, I have already conveyed my intention to Sky-roaring Lord, and you can follow me to learn the wisdom of nature in the future.

Although Staghelm did not express his position, his lack of refusal meant that he acquiesced to my arrangement.

You don't have to worry, your lurking job was done perfectly, but you need to go home. "

"I"

Miss Black Crow had been looking forward to leaving the stinky pirates, at least she wouldn't have to eat bugs or fish bait every day, but now that it was time to leave, she hesitated.

This hesitation made Arch Druid Moon Claw's heart sink little by little.

Perhaps his worst guess was about to come true.

"I can't go back yet, Archdruid."

After more than ten seconds of silence, Miss Hisari Black Crow answered seriously:

"The pirate once revealed that he predicted that the Burning Legion would send informants to the Kingdom of Moon, and he predicted that the war started by the demons would not end.

And once the devil returns to this world, the Moon Goddess Kingdom will inevitably suffer the first wave of blows.

There are also those terrifying Old Gods. Black Shaw has proven that he is worthy of the title of 'Nemesis of the Old Gods'.

If I leave now, it will be difficult for the clansmen to receive warnings about the threat. If I endure the humiliation and stay with the pirates, even if I can only get a little bit of information, it will be enough for the clansmen to reduce their losses.

I must go back!

This is for the sake of the tribe and our inheritance. The tragedy of the Quicksand War cannot be repeated again. If sacrificing one of me can bring about the survival of even a hundred tribesmen, then I am willing to persevere. "

"I'm afraid you'll say that, silly boy!"

The Archdruid felt helpless thoughts in his heart, and he finally saw it.

Black Shaw didn't care about the whereabouts of Hisari Black Crow after the war, but he was convinced that Black Crow's character would definitely return to him.

Damn it!

That stinking pirate must have known the true identity of Black Crow, he was playing with her. No, he was taming her!

If this continues, Hisari Black Crow will become the first druid tamed by a hunter in history. The most frightening thing is that when that moment comes, there is a high probability that Black Crow will willingly accept his own ending.

It was a noble character derived from salvation and self-sacrifice, but it was manipulated by pirates.

The evil one used this noble character to turn into invisible shackles, locking Black Crow, a druid with a great future, to his side.

This is much more effective than any animal taming technique.

What a terrible evil!

But the Archdruid could not stop the decision made by Miss Black Crow. Druids rarely forced their companions to do things, and the balance of nature did not allow him to force Black Crow back to Val'sharah.

This is simply an unsolvable dead end.

We can't just let a good boy like Black Crow fall into the clutches of evil pirates!

As an Archdruid, I have the responsibility and mission to protect my descendants.

Archdruid Moonclaw made up his mind.

He thought for a while and said to Hisari Black Crow:

"His Royal Highness the Star made a strange request in Moonlight Grove. Black Shaw said that he had a group of Loa believers who admired nature and wanted to learn the natural magic of orthodox druids.

The Cenarion Order is considering sending formal druid mentors there. I was originally not interested in this, but as an elder, I cannot let you fight alone in that den of thieves.

I would make recommendations to the higher ups of the order, and I would go there as a mentor.

But before I go there, Black Crow, be sure not to have too close contact with the pirate. He is a devil who plays with people's hearts. You can't defeat him.

Stay calm and wait for me to pass! "
