Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Bang, bang"

The door of the captain's cabin rang twice, and Black, who was studying Gul'dan's Great Skull Grimoire, said without raising his head:

"Come in."

The hatch was pushed open, and Maimu, wearing heavy armor, walked in with his head lowered.

This guy was carrying a war hammer imitating the Hand of Darkness and a blood-red almost black skull battle ax on his back. The chain weight of the war hammer was still swinging around as he walked.

It looks very intimidating.

The first reaction of anyone who sees such a green-skinned man walking with his head on the road is to give way. As Black's number one general in the Undead Fleet system, Maimu believed in Lennok, the bear god and was given the power of rage. The Queen of Power is already close to a legend, and maybe she needs a chance to become one of those powerful legendary warriors.

But at this moment, Maimu wanted to lower her head to her crotch, and it seemed like she had something up her sleeve.

He walked to Black's desk, groaning and unable to say a word. He was obviously a tall and thick orc warrior, but he gave him the look of a weakling who was bullied.

Blake frowned.

He put down the skull grimoire and said in a gentle tone:

"Did you get brain-damaged in the Blade Fist Arena? Or did you undergo some damn magic experiment to put the will of a dwarf into your body?"

"No, Captain."

Maimu replied angrily:

"I am fine."

"Then let's talk about it. Why are you acting like someone bullied you?"

Black scolded:

"If you have nothing to do, go out and patrol the deck. Why are you always coming to me?"

"It's my brother's business."

Maimu straightened his body immediately. No matter how hard a traditional orc tried, his waist could not be straight. He said to Black honestly and with a pleading face:

"I just learned the whole story from my brother's letter to me. It was a misunderstanding. Captain, please believe in your brother's loyalty to you. He will never deliberately sabotage your plan.

The orcs who had clashed with the human vanguard had already been dealt with by him.

It was a small-scale solo walk, and it was not the intention of the orthodox tribal leaders. "

At this point, the stupidest Maimu didn't know how to plead for his brother who had made a mistake. After thinking about it, he said with the thinking that an orc should have:

"You also know my brother, captain. With his bastard mind, if he was deliberately causing trouble, how could he have arranged things so cleverly?

The conflict lasted only twenty minutes, and no one on either side died. It served no purpose other than provoking hostility between the two sides.

If my brother really wanted to cause trouble, with his style, at least a small clan of two hundred people would swagger into Redridge Mountain and challenge the human garrison.

It can be seen that this is definitely just a coincidence. "

The reason Maim gave left Blake speechless. After a few seconds, he said in a strange tone:

"What you said makes sense, and I'm convinced by you, but is it really okay for you to slander your brother like this? Although I also think that guy is careless and can't do such a detailed plan, but what if he gets the idea?"

"If he had really enlightened himself, he would have left the mess in Blackstone Mountain long ago."

Maimu grinned a ferocious smile and said:

"Being that bullshit chief in Blackstone Mountain is not as comfortable as following the captain on the sea? He still followed his inner desire, hoping to restore the Blackstone clan's former glory.

For those meaningless things, he trapped himself on the throne called the Warchief.

Every day, I rack my brains to think about where the next meal of my soldiers will come from.

But among his subordinates, Brox, Varok, Drek'Thar, etc., which one is less knowledgeable than him? Those cunning things pushed Red out as a shield, and they took care of their own clan and interests in private.

However, my idiot brother is enjoying it. He is complacent about the name of a great chief and strives to dream big dreams that are completely incompatible with his low abilities.

It can be seen from this that Reid is not enlightened at all. "

"well said."

Blake couldn't help but clapped his hands and said to Maim appreciatively:

"I knew that I should have withstood the pressure and sent you to Blackstone Mountain and kept your brother in the fleet. You can see the general trend better than him, and your brain is much easier to use than him."

"If I really go back, captain, I won't be able to survive there for two months before I sneak back."

Maimu shook his head and said:

"No smart orc should raise the banner of the orthodox tribe at this time. Once the human kingdom recovers from its weakness, it will definitely raise another army to attack any force that claims to be an orthodox tribe.

No matter how much Red claimed that he supported peace, it was useless.

Once Blackstone Mountain is in danger of being destroyed, Kor'kron and the Frostwolf clan will definitely abandon Red immediately, and the only ones willing to fight with him to the death are his loyal Fire Seal Legion and the ogres.

This doesn't work at all.

Unless they can capture Shadowforge City.

The upper and lower parts of Black Rock Mountain are completely integrated into one, forming an unstoppable fortress. But the tribe couldn't do this when it was most powerful, and Red couldn't do it either. "

"You analyze it well."

Blake nodded with satisfaction and said:

"I know what you mean by coming. I won't criticize Red harshly. Someone is obviously instigating this. I will go see him in person and ask him why.

Go ahead and patrol.

When you get to the Burning Plains, remember to behave yourself more powerfully. When you go back this time, show your brother your career and reassure him that he is another chief of the Blackstone family. "

"Okay, Captain. You're busy, I'll leave first."

Maimu let out a sigh of relief, gave Black an orc military salute, turned around and strode out of the captain's room.

At this time, the Naqfar was passing through the strait between the wetlands and the Arathi Highlands. Maimu walked out of the stern of the ship and looked overhead, and he could still see the white Saldo Bridge standing tall.

Crossing this strait leads eastward into the Endless Sea.

Further south along the coastline of the eastern continent, you will soon reach the deserted land, where there is a goblin wharf, Meltlight Town, where orcs and goblins secretly do business.

It is also the destination of the ghost ship’s trip.

Maim was still a little worried at this moment. After all, Red did make a mistake. He was patrolling while thinking of ways. When he saw Natalie, the black-robed ship's doctor, walking out of her cabin and spreading around on the deck, Maim hurriedly stepped forward. , and had a few words with Natalie.

The ship's doctor was a little hesitant. She had always been a Buddhist and didn't want to get involved in this nonsense.

But she has short hands, so the staff in her hand is a gift from Red as a "filial piety" to her. If she needs any magic materials on a daily basis, as long as they go to Blackstone Mountain, Red will definitely deliver them as soon as possible.

After taking so many benefits from others, we can't pretend we didn't see this critical moment.

So ten minutes later, the door of Black's captain's cabin was knocked again. The pirate who had just entered the state of reading the grimoire was awakened. He put down the book angrily and said:

"Come in."

Ms. Natalie slowly walked into the captain's cabin. Before she could speak, she heard Blake say coldly:

"If you are also interceding for Red, then you can leave, my dear ship's doctor. In the past two or three days, not only Maim came twice, but even Eudora who was doing business came here letter.

My incompetent warlock subordinates tried their best to get close to me and flattered Red in all kinds of ways. I once suspected that they were flattering Lothar and not a greenskin.

I don’t know what benefits Red gave them? Is that guy so popular? "

After finishing speaking, he looked at Natalie suspiciously and said:

"My ship's doctor, you probably hate greenskins the most. You won't be captured by Red's 'sugar-coated bullets', right?"

"That's not the case."

Natalie waved her hands expressionlessly and said:

"I'm here to report to you about Maiev Shadowsong. I don't care at all if Red does something stupid or something like that."

"Ah, I knew you were the most trustworthy."

Blake laughed, invited the ship's doctor to sit in front of him, and asked:

"So, what's going on with Maiev? Is she really injured? Or is she deliberately pretending to do something bad on my ship?"

"Ms. Warden is really hurt, I'm sure of that."

Natalie put her finger on her chin and answered firmly:

"I don't even need to use holy light magic to detect her body to confirm that she is indeed in an extremely weak state, but such a long coma is indeed rare.

I checked on Ms. Shadowsong last night. Her body is recovering, which is a good thing.

But I can't confirm her mental condition.

Because her soul and mind are protected by the power of the Moon God, although the Holy Light also belongs to the power of order, it comes from different sources.

I can't really examine her soul, but considering that Maiev Shadowsong miraculously escaped from Ny'alotha with you, Captain, it's normal for some mental illness to remain.

No matter how powerful a mortal is, he cannot remain unscathed after facing the ancient gods. "

At this point, the ship's doctor glanced at Blake and said:

"So, I think Captain, you are a little too sensitive to Maiev's vigilance."

"You don't understand how cunning that woman is!"

Blake shook his head stubbornly and said:

"Maiev Shadowsong is definitely not as pure as you seem. That woman is black when she is cut. You have no idea that she treats me well. I mean, I am a prophet.

I can see Maiev's past and present lives. Hidden beneath her pure appearance is an elusive heart. "

"This statement cannot be refuted."

Natalie nodded, she was silent for a few seconds, and said:

"But if, Captain, you want to confirm whether Ms. Maiev is faking a coma, there is actually a very simple way. I once heard you say that she is a Moon Priest, right?"

Blake nodded and heard Natalie say to him in a low voice:

“When I am bored at sea, I will also read some priest scriptures of other factions to relieve my boredom. I have read the Moon God scripture, which describes the doctrine of the Moon Sacrifice in great detail.

In order to maintain the purity of their faith, the Moon Priests must also keep their bodies pure, unless their love affairs with men can be blessed by Elune.

Otherwise, any qualified Moon Priest must keep a distance from men.

This is their professional ethics.

do you understand me? captain. "

"hiss"

Blake gasped.

He looked at his ship's doctor with astonishment and said:

"Isn't this too vicious? Now I suspect that Natalie will be black if you cut her open."

"Where did you think you were?"

Seeing the captain's exaggerated look, the ship's doctor immediately shook her head speechlessly and said:

"I'm not suggesting that you defile her or violate her. Am I that crazy? I'm just saying that these dogmas of the Moon Priest are engraved into the soul and can be used to test her condition.

Just touch.

If she is really pretending to be comatose, then your actions will definitely violate her taboos. With Elune's will, even if she tries to pretend to be unconscious, the discomfort caused will be noticed by you.

But that’s it! "

Natalie stood up, holding her staff and staring at the captain's thoughtful dog head.

She warned:

"If you dare to take advantage of others' danger and do some immoral things, I will call on the Holy Light to punish you. Captain, your respect for women is your only remaining advantage. Please continue to maintain this gentlemanly style."

"You spoke to me as if it were a heinous crime."

Blake rolled his eyes and said:

"Am I the kind of bastard who 'picks up corpses'? Come on, come with me, and be a witness for me, lest any damn gossip spreads.

My reputation is almost ruined by this group of incompetent losers. "

He and the ship's doctor walked out of the captain's cabin and headed towards the room where Maiev was. As they walked into a passage, Natalie pulled up her hood and suddenly whispered:

"Although I don't care about the affairs of Blackstone Mountain, I have heard about Red's experience. From the perspective of a shadow priest, I want to put forward a hypothesis.

Is it possible that the orcs who clashed with the human vanguard were bewitched?

Captain, don’t forget, Red and his group of orcs are not the only ones living in Blackstone Mountain. They are also cooperating with the Black Dragon Prince. If there is a conflict between the orthodox tribe and the Kingdom of Stormwind, whose interests will it serve? "

"Reid's popularity is indeed very good."

Blake pouted and said:

"It seems that he pays great attention to maintaining relationships with colleagues. How much did he give you?"

"Not much."

Natalie did not hide anything, waved the staff in her hand and said:

"That's it, plus a little bit of magic materials, samples and so on."

"Yidiandian, I understand."

Blake snapped his fingers and did not pursue the matter.

Regarding Red's "self-knowledge" that he "knew that it was only a matter of time before he made a mistake, so he planned a 'confession group' when he made a mistake", the stinky pirates have also heard about it for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this guy's preparations actually came into use.

Although this is completely unnecessary in Black's opinion, could such a wise and powerful pirate master be deceived by such a small trick?

However, Red's stupid method actually shows that the orc chief has been preparing a way out for himself. He wants to ensure that when he is desperate, he can at least return to the group of undead pirates safely.

It seems that Maimu's evaluation of Red is still biased. Red is not ignorant, in fact, he is also making progress.

With this thought, Blake pushed open the door of Maiev's cabin.

He glanced at Natalie, and the ship's doctor gave him an encouraging gesture. Then he took a few steps back with the staff and applied several holy light shields to himself.

She has great confidence in Blake, but this does not prevent her from being prepared to protect herself in advance.

If Maiev was really pretending to be in a coma, if she was angered by the pirate's fussy behavior, she would not be seriously injured by the terrifying Moon Night God of War in an instant.

Under Natalie's gaze with a hint of curiosity and gossip, Blake took a deep breath, walked to the bedside of the unconscious Maiev, and sat there.

He hesitated.

Then he pulled back the sheet covering Maiev and stretched out his hand towards the warden.

Ten seconds later, the sound of a heavy object falling sounded at the door of the cabin, waking up the pirates who were "fishing".

The latter turned around and saw Fallen Watcher Sera Moon Guard rolling up her sleeves and walking in expressionlessly. She also picked up the silver fork placed on the table by the door and held it like a dagger. it.

"Sela, things are not what you think. Just listen to my excuses."

"ah!"
