Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 892 222. Divination of the future starts from 100,000 gold, and divination of love is free - additional updates for Brother Shuang Yanyu [225]

"Pay the production fee of one gold coin, fill out this form, and then wait for a week for review. We will mail your membership certificate back to you.

But let me confirm one last time, do you really want to join the Society of Explorers? "

In the explorer hall on the edge of Ironforge city, a female dwarf with double braids and formal clothes sat behind the table. She quickly took out a form for Blake and asked with a warm smile:

"As a member of the Explorers Association, you occasionally need to accept organizational tasks. For example, if some ruins or ancient knowledge are discovered in your hometown, the association may need you to coordinate local relations.

In rare cases, you may even be asked to join an excavator or expedition team.

In most cases this action is safe.

But occasionally there are dangers. "

"Needless to say, I have grown up listening to the stories of the Explorers Association. I have always wanted to be a human explorer. Now that I have finally come to Ironforge, I naturally want to fulfill my childhood ideal. "

Blake smiled and made up a reason without any psychological burden.

The female dwarf looked at Black curiously, and her last gaze fell on the blindfold on the pirate's eyes. She hesitated, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she still whispered:

"I still advise you to think again. We do not discriminate against blind people, but many times, the explorations we want to conduct are not suitable for blind people."

"It doesn't matter, I can do some theoretical research or logistical work."

Blake was not angry, acted politely, and said in a gentle tone:

"Also, although I wear a blindfold, it does not mean that I am blind."

"Ah, I'm sorry, sir."

The female dwarf was embarrassed and apologized sincerely. The pirate laughed and said:

"It's okay, Ms. Panjiao, I know you have no ill intentions."

"Huh? How do you know my name?"

The female dwarf widened her eyes and said:

"I didn't tell you."

"Shh, it's a secret."

Blake stretched out his finger and made a silent gesture. While preparing to fill out the membership application, he whispered:

"To be honest, I am actually a low-key prophet."

"Hahaha, you have such a sense of humor, sir."

Ms. Hilda Panjiao, a senior member of the Explorers Association, was sitting in her chair laughing.

Apparently, she took Blake's words as a joke.

Blake didn't care either. It was a happy thing to meet a familiar character here. He had not forgotten the experience of fighting lizardmen with this lady on a remote beach.

But the pirate's attention was now focused on the form in Hilda Panjiao's hand.

He planned to carefully "compile" his identity.

"name or nickname"

The dwarf picked up a pen and asked.

"Fenna Golden Sword, nicknamed 'Ghost Wolf'."

The pirate replied.

"?"

Ms. Panjiao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Blake, her mouth twitched, and she still wrote down this terrible nickname and this very feminine name.

"gender?"

"Uh, maybe a man?"

"Profession?"

"Freelancers, quite the 'free' kind."

"Where is the main activity area? Don't use that ambiguous answer. Mr. Fenner, if you continue like this, your information will not pass the review."

"Okay, but my activity area is relatively large. I have several ships, engage in maritime trade, and occasionally carry out some small businesses on the sea that good men do.

So, you could write ‘The Endless Sea’.”

"Mr. Fenner! Please be serious!"

"Okay, let's write about the Palatine Sea. I will occasionally go to the North Sea for a stroll."

"Where's your place of origin?"

"Kul Tiras, or Quel'Thalas."

"Are you still an elf?"

"Yeah, look at my ears."

"Wow, those are really pointy ears! The race column is labeled 'half-elf'. But half-elves like you with no elf characteristics are really rare. Your human bloodline is so powerful that it actually overwhelms the elves." physiological characteristics.”

"Well, my father has strong genes, so I'll take that as a compliment."

"Then there are some optional options that you can choose to fill in or not."

"It doesn't matter, come on. I like questions and answers. Answering the questions correctly always gives me a sense of accomplishment."

"Okay, what's your specific profession? I mean if you are a combat professional."

"I just answered, I am a prophet."

"Mr. Fenner!!! I admit that you are the most humorous person I have seen during my vacation these days. I also like chatting with you, it is very relaxing.

But this is a formal inquiry, so."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. You could write that I was an assassin, or a warlock, I could be a hunter. What? Don't you believe it?

Come, put this apple on your head.

very good.

"Keep this posture"

"Can you please take off the blindfold? And where did you take out this dwarf musket? Weapons are not allowed here!"

"puff"

"Okay, I'll just write that you are a hunter. Please leave your gun with me and I will return it to you after you visit the museum.

I don't want to ask any more questions.

My heart is still beating hard now.

So, let’s move on to the last item.

What contribution do you think you can bring to the Society of Explorers? In other words, what kind of career do you plan to do in the Explorers Association? "

"Ah, I like this question!"

Black placed the dwarf musket that was exuding gunpowder smoke on the table, and took out a dwarf grenade from his arms. This action scared Hilda Panjiao and immediately went to ring the alarm bell.

She thought Blake was here to rob the museum.

But the pirate shrugged and put the dwarf grenade on the table. Then he took out a very simple-looking map and slapped it on the table in front of the female dwarf.

He said with a smile:

"I picked it up by mistake just now. Don't worry. I am very insecure, so I carry some weapons for self-defense."

"Do you call this dwarf grenade that can kill ten people a 'self-defense weapon'? Have your family ever taught you not to carry dangerous items with you? Bastard!"

The female dwarf complained crazily in her heart. She glanced at the black dwarf grenade, and then looked at the map Black took out.

As a senior explorer, she could tell at a glance that this map was unusual, so she nodded against her will, forced out a very professional smile, and said:

"Yeah, the world is dangerous, and it's a good habit to carry a weapon with you, but you'd better pick something proper. Let's talk about this map.

Do you want to turn it over to the association? "

"Of course, that's what I'm here for."

Blake stood up straight and blurted out:

"As I said just now, I occasionally go to the North Sea to expand my business. During a trip a year ago, my blue dragon followers and I went deep into the barren land of Northrend.

We plan to climb to the roof of the world, the storm cliffs that are always surrounded by storms.

But we failed.

But it wasn't a complete failure. We were trapped in the storm and were finally rescued by a group of wild vrykul people who lived there. Those she-wolves caught me and planned to do some terrible things to me.

But I was lucky enough to escape and copied the map of Storm Peaks from them.

That's what I'm saying. "

The pirate opened the map, and while Ms. Panjiao looked at her in shock, he pointed to the northernmost part of the map, where there was a sign of a huge building.

Blake felt the heartfelt and uncontrollable excitement of the female dwarf in front of him. He even heard her violent heartbeat. The pirate chuckled and said:

"I spent a year studying this map. I asked people all over the continent of Northrend, and finally pieced together the truth from those ancient stories of various races.

If my research is correct, then I'm sure, here it is! This is the legendary ‘Place of Creation’!

The gods in ancient legends created this world here. "

The smelly pirate told the secret of the map in a mythical tone, and gave Hilda Panjiao enough time to digest the news.

After a few seconds, he said in a very arrogant manner:

“This discovery led to my actions today, and since I am now a member of the Society of Explorers, I decided to dedicate it to my organization.

You should have enough resources to determine its authenticity and send an expedition.

However, according to the information I collected from some secluded races in Northrend, a 'key' is needed to enter this city of gods.

I don't know where the key is, since I'm not a professional explorer.

But based on my poor wisdom, I would definitely be able to find clues by trying my best to discover other places of gods that exist in the world. This is certainly not a problem for you professionals.

Oh, by the way, I also heard from some giants in Northrend about the Everlasting Forge in that city, which was said to be guarded by a terrifying fire giant.

It is said that the first warriors forged by the gods were born from that furnace, forged from steel and stone.

I don’t know if this information is useful to you, ah, no, to us? "

"Useful, very useful!"

Hilda Panjiao put away the map Blake brought as if treating a treasure, and quickly wrote down the other information he said.

She raised her head and said to the pirate:

"Thank you for the valuable information, Mr. Fenner. I will inform the top management of the Explorers Association about this immediately. If there is any progress, we will notify you as soon as possible."

After saying that, the female dwarf did not forget about business.

She took out a small, specially made dwarf camera from the drawer. This was an instrument used by explorers to record new discoveries. She clicked the shutter on Blake, and a black and white photo was developed in a few seconds.

Ms. Panjiao quickly cropped the photo, took out a special Explorers Association certificate, slapped the seal on it, and handed it to Blake.

The pirate held the certificate and said doubtfully:

"Doesn't it require a seven-day review?"

"The normal situation is like that, but the Explorers Association has a special mechanism for special contributors. An excellent information provider like you is fully qualified to enjoy this service."

The female dwarf said to Black:

“Please enjoy exploring the Explorer Hall, and I will register your first contribution as a member.

From my experience, if the information you submit is confirmed to be valuable, you are likely to become the fastest-rising member within the Explorers Association in the past thirty years.

You will become a high-level member on the first day of joining. Muradin's beard is on top. You will break the record of another member's level increase.

Maybe you will also be invited to join this huge project.

The origin of Adventureland.

Gee, just this name is enough to make all the members of the Explorers Association excited, and your name will also be engraved in the hall of honor in the hall. "

"That's not necessary. I am a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune."

Blake waved his hand and said righteously:

"I am submitting this information just to contribute to the association, and it does not mean that I want to make a profit from it. But I am curious, who is the record holder for the fastest increase in internal contribution level before me?

You just said nearly thirty years, that is, his or her record was set thirty years ago? "

"Well, our honorary archaeological master Renault!"

The female dwarf installed the map in a hollow paper tube specially designed for placing maps, and introduced:

“He independently excavated a titan-forged relic in Silithus thirty years ago and successfully shared his papers and research with the Association.

It was one of the most exciting discoveries of the past century, second only to the excavations of Uldaman.

Alas, that ruins was about to bear fruit, but unfortunately the arrival of the Orc War interrupted everything. Those ignorant greenskins thought it was a hiding cave, so they blew it up, causing us to have to start all our work from scratch!

All the greenskins deserve to die! "

Panjiao cursed, and enthusiastically gave the pirate a special certificate for a one-day trip to the Explorers Hall, and then hurriedly carried the map and ran towards the Explorers Association's station.

The news Blake brought was so shocking that she had to verify its authenticity as quickly as possible.

Alas, if Master Brian were here, based on his experience with Titan ruins, he would definitely be able to tell the authenticity at a glance. Unfortunately, Brian hasn't come back yet.

It is said that he was stranded in Booty Bay, and he didn't know what was going on over there in the South China Sea.

The pirate didn't care whether the information he gave could be confirmed. It was all for "fishing" anyway. When the impetuous dwarves really opened the Titan City Ulduar, it would be his harvest moment.

He hummed a song and walked into the Explorers Hall with his ID. Many things in this museum were not open to visitors, but Blake was now "one of his own."

Relying on the temporary certificate given by Panjiao, he traveled smoothly.

Until a few hours later, in front of the exhibition cabinet at the deepest part of the Explorer Hall, Blake was admiring an ancient Vrykul sword and picking out some errors and omissions in the description, when a short figure in a cloak approached him. .

"I've been waiting for you."

When the guy walked five steps behind the pirate, Black coughed and said without looking back:

"I saw this scene in the prophecy. I know that you are full of questions and confusion. Being born into the royal family is not a blessing.

At least not to you.

So, Your Highness Moira, what questions do you want to ask when you come to find a true prophet? "

The pirate chuckled lightly and said:

"Excessive interference in the future will only be counterproductive, so let me give you a suggestion. Think carefully about the questions you will ask, and I promise that I will try my best to answer your doubts.

A disappointed and restless heart will be soothed, I promise. "
