Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Dean Lanyue, who is rigorous in academic studies, was angered by the pretentiousness of Taron Gore, a third-rate academic liar.

She decided to lead the army herself.

Although this conflicted with the pirate's plan to go to Blackstone Mountain, after careful consideration, Black still supported the dean's action. From a long-term benefit point of view, the existence of a powerful death knight group is in line with Black's needs.

Of course, the pirate will not participate in this "regional conflict". He has more important things to do.

Under the orders of the undead pirate commander, an expedition team was quickly established.

The Nightborne pirate faction that was training in the frozen sea was recalled. Anarris Moonshire and her magical pirates traveled day and night and returned to Tol Barad five days later.

Their ships were temporarily requisitioned by the Narthalas Academy.

Dean Blue Moon moved the entire necromantic laboratory to the flagship of Moon County, and the vampire girl Aluriel and her friend Elisana Ravencrest also moved in.

Elisana was excited.

She could finally go home to wake up her father and family.

She also felt anxious in her heart, as she had heard about Tarongor's actions.

She was afraid that when she went back, she would see a puppet awakened by evil magic.

If things really come to that point, Elisana will have to end her father's second cursed life by herself. That is the worst case scenario.

"In fact, there is no need to worry so much."

In the luxurious captain's cabin of the "Pride of Moonshire", Black sat on the captain's chair of Anarres and said to the last heir of the Ravencrest family in a comforting tone:

"As far as I know, the interior of Black Crow Castle is filled with magic locks from the Elf Empire period, and your father was buried in the deepest part of the family cemetery after his death. Even a spellcaster like Elisande can't survive without Ravencair." In the case of the Si family's seal, it would take a lot of effort to open it.

Moreover, there are black crow spirits that have been unable to rest for ten thousand years. If Tarongor wants to twist and resurrect them, he will inevitably be attacked by a group of black crow knights and moon guards.

Their progress will definitely not be any faster.

You weren't stupid enough to give the family seal to Elisande, were you? "

"No."

Elisana whispered:

"After escaping from the Watcher's Vault, I hid it in the ruins of Charine Winery in Azsuna, where I often played with my parents as a child."

"That's good."

Blake nodded and looked at Anarris Yuejun standing next to him.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, this noble lady of the Son of the Night is becoming more and more like a pirate captain.

She did not wear the traditional robes of the Children of the Night, but instead wore a hot pirate outfit, a white shirt, red breeches and high black riding boots, with the collar open, revealing a deep ravine.

He wears a silver belt around his waist and hangs two finely crafted dwarf handguns.

Hanging on the other side was an elf-style command knife and a shining ruby ​​wand.

Miss Yuejun's dark face was painted with smoky makeup, her hair was permed and curled, she also wore a black eye mask and a Kul Tiran-style navy cloak.

Wearing a black pirate hat, with the symbols of the undead pirate's crow, dagger and skull painted on it, and the coat of arms of the Children of the Night and the Yuejun family below the skull.

The most disgusting thing is that the rich girl who is the son of the night got a sneaky flower-feathered parrot from nowhere, and it is standing on her shoulder at the moment.

Now she is starting to imitate Blake in raising pets, she is really like a young lady.

"Where did you get this?"

Blake asked in a weird tone.

Anares was about to speak when the sneaky flower-feathered parrot on her shoulder suddenly said:

"In Suramar, man, they're all black like this."

There was a sudden silence in the entire cabin.

The vampire girl Sarain covered her mouth and held it in very hard, while the Ravencrest vampire, who was bitter and resentful, also shook his shoulders.

Boy, this parrot has such a personality.

Even the words he spoke were emphasized with a vivid imitation of Shaldorethalas, which brought out the annoying arrogance of the Nightborne to the bone.

"Shut up!"

Miss Yuejun slapped the talkative parrot on her shoulder hard, which angered the parrot. It flew away from its owner's shoulder with a squawk and flew towards the outside of the cabin, cursing as it flew:

"Gu, Anares is a black man in heat. He writes love letters to his white brother every day. Guagua, Anares and Lilas are hiding on the mast and kissing~"

"Shut up! I see there is a gun missing in your head, I will replace it for you right now!"

The furious Yuejun girl took out the gun from her waist and raised her hand to shoot her talkative pet, but Blake reached out to suppress it.

He looked at Miss Yuejun, whose cheeks were red, and whispered:

"Isn't it right? You're a eldest lady and you're serious. Do you really want to have a private life with that little guy Liras?"

"Just having fun."

Anares covered his face and turned away, and said in a firm tone:

"Who wants to stay with that stinky brother? He's so annoying that he wants me to take care of him no matter what. I'm a thousand years older than him."

"It's actually not bad."

Blake leaned on the chair, rubbed his chin and said:

"With the Yuejun family's family background, it is more than enough to match the Windrunner family. My mentor also asked me to take Lilas with me on an adventure, but I always felt that that guy would hold me back.

So be it, I'll put him on your boat.

You take him on a mission to the Broken Isles and return to Suramar to meet your sister. After all, Lilith is the head of the family now, and you have to get her approval. "

"Yeah."

Anarres, who had been arrogant just now, suddenly became happy when he heard that Lilas Windrunner was about to board his ship. That happy gesture made Aluriel, the vampire girl of Sarain, unable to even look at it.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Blake made a gesture, and the cabin suddenly became quiet.

He said:

"The three of you must obey the orders of Instructor Lan Yue along the way. She is now an emotionless lich. I don't think I need to emphasize what will happen if you offend her.

After you went to the Broken Isles, the fleet docked on the coast of Highmountain.

Don't rush into Val'sharah, it's the territory of the Kaldorei elves. If the druids sink the ship, don't ask me for reimbursement.

In addition, when necessary, the Nightborne pirates will cover Dean's actions. Your mission has one and only one goal, which is to help Dean and Elisana awaken the undead in Black Crow Castle.

Let the Black Crow Castle Guard, once the most elite in the Elf Empire, be reborn as a death knight.

The focus is on Lord Culotas Ravencrest! He must maintain a clear mind, and he will command this battle group. "

"Are you trying to bring the Black Crow Chapter into our system?"

Anaris Yuejun said enthusiastically:

"Are we officially establishing a faction in the Broken Isles?"

"No, the Black Crowes remain independent."

Blake shook his head and said:

"I don't think I have such a great reputation that I can make a high-ranking nobleman who was a powerful man thousands of years ago bow to me. After knowing the current changes in the times, Lord Ravencase must have his plans and plans. .

With Elisana there, we can maintain friendly cooperation with him.

This is enough.

Death knights are not good at sea battles, and land is their battlefield. And for Elisande who wants to enslave them, I think Lord Ravencrest must have his own way of dealing with it.

In this way, the Broken Islands located outside the civilized area will also become lively. "

"I don't understand, Captain."

Anaris Yuejun frowned and said:

"If we can't make them our vassals, then why do we put so much energy into this job? Didn't you teach us not to do things that are not beneficial?

It's better that I continue to train in Beihai.

At least we can collect more taxes. "

"This is the biggest benefit of not letting Elisande have another death knight under his command."

The smelly pirate took a sip of wine and explained casually:

"The Grand Magister is ambitious and holds two artifacts in her hands. She has a grudge against us. Who knows when she will challenge us on the sea without overestimating her abilities?

Find her something to do.

To prevent her from having stupid dreams of conquering the world all day long.

Also, there's something else I need to tell you. "

Blake stood up and said to the three elves in front of him:

"The contact between the Uncrowned Ones and the rebels of Suramar and Tol Barad has been handed over to the governor I set up on the island. She will then coordinate and direct their actions.

After Aluriel returned to Suramar, he first contacted the Uncrowned Ones and continued to rescue the lower-class people who were oppressed by Elisande's tyranny. He could also have appropriate contact with the Syndra pariahs.

Then wait for the command. "

The pirate glanced at the vampire girl and emphasized:

"You are not allowed to expand your clan without permission!

Take your time when embracing for the first time, this is different from transforming into a blood servant. You can also choose to join Elisande. As long as she can accept a vampire monster as her subject, I have no problem with it. "

"I will not."

Oruriel touched the seal on her finger that looked very similar to the Assassin Master, and she said:

"Death has ended my past and given me a new future. The former magic swordsman has been buried, and the former loyalty has also disappeared with the wind.

When I look back at the past, all I see is a pale life dominated by addiction, but my future is extremely bright.

A past not worth remembering.

A future that lies ahead.

I already know what to choose. I have been given a new life, and I want to enjoy it, not cut it off. What's more, Lord Black, you also promised that there will eventually be a place for us in the shadow world.

A kingdom belonging to Sarain. "

"Of course, I remember every promise I made."

Blake grinned and said:

"I will protect you until the day I fail or die, but I doubt whether you can reproduce a race by yourself."

Oruriel did not answer, but just showed an elegant smile. When his lips opened, the sharp canine teeth rippled with white and red light.

Clearly, she's confident about it.

"So be it."

The pirate waved his hand and strode out of the cabin.

After he left, Oruriel reached out and picked up the Nightborne umbrella at her hand. Wearing a red dress, she stood up and glanced at Anarris Yuejun, who was sizing her up behind her.

Sarain said softly:

"Miss Yuejun, you are also troubled by addiction, which is the original sin of the Night Child. It tortures you, makes you lose your smile, and prevents you from enjoying pure happiness and joy.

Do you need me to help you get rid of this evil? "

"no, do not want!"

Yuejun crossed his hands and refused:

"I heard that you drink blood. How is this different from being addicted to magic?"

"The difference is huge, my lovely eldest lady."

Aluriel's temperament has changed drastically since he became Sarain. He no longer has the sharpness of the silent and reserved magic swordsman, but has been replaced by a deliberately imitated elegance and grace.

She looked Anarres up and down and said:

"First of all, drawing blood is not evil, it is a wonderful satisfaction. Secondly, there is always much more blood in this world than magic. Finally, don't you want to stay young forever?

Elves also age, my eldest lady.

But I won't.

Rilas Windrunner is a thousand years younger than you. He is a Quel'dorei elf. His lifespan is shorter than yours. You can only be together for three thousand years, and you will be separated by life and death.

Maybe he needs this kind of blessing more than you. "

"You are not allowed to come near him!"

Miss Yuejun screamed like her hair was fried:

"Or I'll burn you to death in the sun! Don't think I don't know your weaknesses."

"That's not the only weakness I have."

Oruriel snorted, yawned, and said lazily:

"I'm going to bed, this sunshine is really annoying. You will eventually come and beg me to give your little lover a longer and more eternal companionship. I just have to wait patiently.

No one can refuse this invitation!

Sarain, who rises from me, will eventually become king in the shadows. "

——

While the Nightborne fleet set off from Tol Barad and headed to the Broken Islands to perform a mission, in the distant Quel'Thalas, in the prosperous and beautiful Silvermoon City, another person was also performing his own mission.

At this time, more than three months have passed since Valeela Sangunar left Quel'Thalas.

After this former genius assassin was exiled by her family, she disappeared among the upper circles of Quel'Thalas. No one paid attention to where she went or what she did.

It was as if she had been forgotten, as if she had never been there.

But Valeela didn't hate this feeling.

Compared to the talented little girl who once enjoyed everyone's attention and praise, she is now much more low-key and pragmatic. Perhaps difficulties can really make people grow quickly.

In short, when he returned to his hometown, the former genius had become an experienced and low-key high-level uncrowned person.

Valeela has been training in Northrend.

She was absent from the battle in Kul Tiras, which made Valeera a little regretful, but compared to what she had gained from practicing in the cold and windy continent in the past few months, what she had lost was not difficult to accept.

The Uncrowned Intelligence System in Northrend has been established, and Valeera has been transferred back to the Eastern Continent to perform special tasks as a follower of the Uncrowned Master.

This means that she has finally proven that she can learn the art of shadow from Master Blackshaw.

But before the mission begins, she still needs to complete the current matter.

It’s not difficult, just sending a letter.

"The palace ahead! Stop whoever comes!"

The Phoenix guard wearing bright and mighty armor stopped the hooded Valeela, who did not want to force her way into the palace. She took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to the guard.

explain:

"This is an invitation from a distant friend. Please forward it to His Majesty Kael'thas Sunstrider. The promised hunt is about to begin. Please be prepared, Your Highness."
