Shadow Trails in Azeroth

them?

Under Blake's guidance, the tide hunter focused its attention on Kojo and the swordfish man. It looked at the sea creatures in front of it with a scrutinizing gaze.

After noticing the unique biological characteristics of the turtles and swordfish, Neptulon's eyes became more tolerant.

Although it is a chaotic neutral elemental creature, it does have the title of protector of marine life. Probably from the perspective of the tide hunter, these creatures born in the sea and living in the sea are like its farm The same as the cattle and sheep raised there.

Your own things will always be treated more tolerantly.

At least compared to humans, tide hunters prefer these creatures in the ocean.

Yes, they are the best candidates, and the reasons are very good. Please listen to me and analyze them slowly.

The pirate rubbed his hands, glanced at the turtle and swordfish man standing there blankly, and said:

The Ancestral Turtles have a long lifespan. They do intelligence business on the endless sea and have contacts with all forces. They have a wide network of contacts. Although they are few in number, they are all talented people.

As long as they decide to spread something, it will only take a few days for the entire Endless Sea to learn about it. They control a part of the public opinion on the sea and are your best 'mouthpiece'.

Secondly, the Ancestral Turtles suffered from the oppression of the Nagas thousands of years ago. The soft-skinned snakes regarded them as smart slaves and manipulated them with the evil magic of N'Zoth.

The hatred between them and the Nagas is a tragic memory written in blood. Their will for revenge is burning. It is impossible for them to secretly make peace with the Nagas.

Most importantly, they are great storytellers.

Blake smiled and said:

The eloquence of the ancestor turtles is probably the best among all the creatures in the entire endless sea.

As long as they are willing, they can compile a new Tide Codex for you and spread your story and power everywhere.

No one can do this better than them.

Those sea sages are no match for them in terms of deceiving people.

Well, yes, we do know how to tell stories.

Kojo was stunned for a long time, but he quickly reacted. He patted his chest with his paws and said to the tide hunter with humility:

With your permission, the legend of the Hydrasian Legion will spread throughout the Endless Sea in an instant.

Moreover, you may not know it, but since the Church of Storms rose with the fleet of Kul Tiras, the creatures on this sea have been oppressed by them.

Those poor people sailing on the sea have no power to resist Haixian, they can only surrender to the threat of violence.

Although Kul Tiras claims to be righteous, what they do is actually no different from the Naga. They plan the rules they set on the sea, and respond with destruction to those who disobey.

But if you, the merciful and great one, give the pure power of the sea to those oppressed and give them the strength to resist violence, then the violence of Kul Tiras and the Church of Storms will no longer be able to scare the rebels.

With our successive victories, the ‘false god’ of the Church of Storms will surely collapse! And you will be worshiped by all the creatures on this sea.

Well, if nothing else, your eloquence is indeed good.

The tide hunter nodded with satisfaction and looked at the swordfish man again.

Blake immediately introduced:

The number of these Waveblade Swordfish people is also very small, but they live in the core of the Naga Empire's rule, which is the sea of ​​Nazjatar.

These loyal tideguards have been fighting the naga for thousands of years.

They are the best fighting group of people in this sea.

They can become your 'armed monks' and your 'wave knights'. Wherever you need to fight, they will fight for you without hesitation until you win.

And with their current situation, they urgently need assistance from great people like you, so that they can gain a breathing space in the battle against the Nagas.

In those gray areas where your water elemental legions are inconvenient to intervene, the Wave Blade can also act quietly at your command.

The smelly pirate spread his hands and said to the tide hunter:

Such a combination of literature and military force is enough for the 'Tide Order' that praises you and worships you to develop rapidly. The most important thing is that I happen to be planning an operation that can seriously attack the despicable Church of Storms.

If I can succeed, then you will easily regain the right to speak in your territory.

That's good advice, Blake.

The tide hunter nodded, but its voice changed and said:

But I favor you more than them. Maybe you can become my 'High Priest of the Tide' and spread the reputation of the Throat of the Abyss and the Hydrasian Legion across the endless sea.

You also have a deep hatred for the Church of Storms, and you don’t hide it.

Well, I'd love to, Your Majesty.

Blake shrugged and said in a gentle tone:

But my situation is special and I am not suitable to be your Tide Priest. I already have my own path to power.

If you want something like power, I can give it to you.

Tidehunter snorted and said:

As a pirate, the sea is your battlefield. In this territory that belongs to me, what other power can compare with my favor and blessing?

The King of Water Elements was a little dissatisfied.

It feels that it is so generous to give you Black power, but this guy actually resists without giving any face.

It's simply too arrogant.

The pirate stretched out his hand helplessly and recited the Black Moon Scripture in a low voice. After a few breaths, a bright moonlight strangely penetrated the barrier between the material world and the elemental realm, and enveloped Blake.

This scene was so shocking that the elemental water on the Tide Hunter boiled for a moment.

Good guy!

Is this a product blessed by Elune?

No wonder he said he was not suitable to accept the power of the tide. This was indeed not suitable. He is just an elemental monarch, with more power than ordinary demigods, but Elune.

That is a real god, on the same level as the Titans, or even higher than the Titans.

Okay, okay.

This guy does have arrogance. No wonder he is so bold and dares to bargain with his elemental monarch.

Ahem

The Tide Hunter coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, and then he staggered his words and said:

Then, let's follow your suggestion. The Ancestral Turtle and the Swordfish Man will now go to my palace to find Duke Hydracia, who will be responsible for bestowing the blessings of the sea on you.

You can also discuss the details of the establishment of the Order of Tides with my Duke.

I'm a little tired.

Please leave.

Wait! Your Majesty.

Seeing the humiliated Tide Hunter ordering him to be kicked out, Blake rolled his eyes under the blindfold and spoke again:

Although I am limited to the Path of Power and cannot be your Tide Priest, my personal admiration for you and the Hydrasian Legion of the Hydrasian Legion makes me happy to serve you in another way.

Although I am a living being of flesh and blood, after I learned the story of the Hydrasian Legion fighting against the Titan servants, I have always been eager to join this ancient legion.

I hope to become a member of the Hydrasian Legion.

Well, although I can't transform myself into an elemental creature, I can become an 'honorary elemental'! Truly become a part of the Maw of the Abyss.

As you said, I am a pirate and the sea is my battlefield.

From now on, my fleet will fly the battle flag of the Hydraxia Legion high in every war. Under your gaze and majesty, I will fight to restore the glory of the water element!

My majesty!

Please kindly and generously grant me this honor!

Oh? Is there any other way to say this?

The light in the tide hunter's eyes jumped.

He thought to himself that this Black was really good at being a good person. He had lost face a little by showing Elune's moonlight just now, but in the blink of an eye he was praising himself.

Oh my, these flesh and blood beings speak so beautifully.

He should really let his group of water elements who are loyal enough, brave enough, but also upright enough, and don't know much about the art of speaking, learn from it.

The tide hunter, whose inner desire for dominance was greatly satisfied, laughed.

It moves its body wrapped around the elemental water, raises its hand generously, calls for the pure power of the water element here, and wraps this invisible power around Blake.

It said in a majestic voice:

Because of your contribution to me and the Hydrasian Legion, and between your great deeds of releasing ancient beings from their prisons, I, Neptulon the Tidehunter, am the leader of the Throat of the Abyss and the Endless Sea. Ruler, grant you this desired glory.

Starting today, you, Blackshaw of Tol Barad!

You will become a non-staff member of the Hydraxia Legion, and I will give you the title of 'Riptide Baron'! You'll also get your own elemental guard.

Go for it!

Gallop on the battlefield of the Endless Sea and let your enemies and all creatures in the material world see the power of Hydrasia!

Blake didn't answer.

Because the power of the sea is changing his body, which is an enhancement from a higher power. On the translucent character card in front of Blake's eyes, the drastic changes are being expressed in the form of words:

High-level elemental divine power injected into divine power analysis: Element·Water·Throat of the Abyss Advanced divine power path: Tide Hunter Neptulon's divine power is being transformed.

1. Talent change: [Son of the Sea] is changed to [Riptide Baron]

Talent explanation·Riptide Baron:

You are accepted as a member of the Hydrasian Legion by the Tidehunters, and all realms of the Great Sea are open to you.

Gain permanent underwater breathing.

Get the most advanced swimming acceleration.

Obtain marine life recruitment [3 times/1 day].

Gain advanced frost affinity and advanced frost resistance.

2. Talent change: [Proudmoore’s Bloodline] is changed to [Tidehunter’s Blessing Proudmoore’s Bloodline]

Talent explanation·Tidehunter's blessing·Proudmoore bloodline:

The Tide Hunter noticed your special bloodline. It felt your dedication to it and specially strengthened the bloodline of the sea for you.

The condition for the bloodline to take effect has been changed from [must be in the sea] to [close to all water sources] to take effect.

After the bloodline is strengthened, all your offensive actions have a chance to have the effect of [Tidal Blow], causing a split attack, and adding frost magic damage to the destructive power of the attack, and there is a small chance of freezing the enemy.

Note that this bloodline enhancement can be inherited to future generations through reproduction!

3. Racial talent changes: [Tidal Fist] changed to [Tidal Impact]

Talent explanation:

Because the Kul Tirans have been fighting against wind and waves all year round, they can punch like a tidal wave in any situation, with a high probability of causing a stun effect on the enemy.

This powerful talent evolved into a more impressive power after being strengthened by the power of the Tide Hunter.

Your punch will be like a real tidal wave. When this talent is activated, the power of the tide will penetrate the enemy's armor. In addition to causing a [stun] effect with a high probability, it will also have [freeze], [slow down], One or all of the effects such as [Biting Frost] and [Tidal Strangulation].

You have become the most elite fist fighter under the Tidehunter.

4. Increased talent [Purifying Water]

This talent is a passive talent.

Encapsulated by the sea, it will be difficult for the power of darkness to erode your will. When you are in a polluted sea, you can call on the power of the Tide Hunter to purify the dark pollution in the sea.

But you should understand who the Tidehunter is giving you this power to deal with.

With a look of greed mixed with wonder, Blake watched the changes in his body. After the torrent surrounding him dissipated, the blue eyes under the pirate's eyepatch became even bluer.

The green dot in the center of his eye pupils, which represented the evil energy infection, also dissipated to the point where it was almost invisible.

Apparently the [Purifying Water] talent was taking effect, washing away all the contamination of dark power in the sea. This made Blake feel refreshed both physically and mentally, as if he had taken a deep bath for his soul.

Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty.

The Stinky Pirate sincerely expressed his gratitude to the Tide Hunter. The enhancement of these talents alone was enough to pay for his hard work in releasing the Hydraxia Legion from the elemental cage.

Of course, the Tidehunter is a fastidious person.

It agreed that it owed Blake two favors and would repay two favors. After strengthening Blake, the Honorary Elemental Man, the King of Water Elements looked at the broken Tide Stone placed in front of him.

It said with a disgusted tone:

I can re-inject the power of the ocean into it. This is not difficult. It already has the power of the ocean poured into it by the Titans. It just needs to be recharged.

But I can't recast it.

Since it is a creation of Titans, if you want to reforge it, go find the remains of the Titans. Monsters from the stars have built many ruins in this world.

I think, with your magical knowledge, you can find them easily.

At this point, the tide hunter suddenly fell silent. It looked at the shackles on its arms that were similar to arm armor. After a few seconds, it said to Blake:

I have a personal matter to entrust to you, my Lord Riptide.

No need to say it, Your Majesty, I understand your difficulty.

What a smart pirate.

He knew what the tide hunter wanted to do from its movements, so he patted his chest and promised:

If I can find Mimiron, the guardian of wisdom, I will definitely find a way to 'relieve' you.

very good.

The tide hunter nodded with satisfaction.

It's really pleasant to have such a tune-in collaborator, and it's easy and relaxing to talk to smart people.

Speaking of which, Your Majesty the Tide Hunter, I have a bold idea.

Blake watched the Tide Hunter pour the power of the ocean into the Tide Stone, and he suddenly said:

Just like I released you from the abominable Titan cage, I also have the intention to release other elemental monarchs. In fact, I feel that there is something beyond the sky wall.

No! Don't release Al'Akir!

The tide hunter immediately scolded:

That duplicitous, lonely bastard is the enemy of all Elemental Lords. You can't talk to it like you can with me, the rational one. If you really want to release the Elemental Lord

I suggest you free the Stone Mother.

Although she and I are not friends, at least we are not enemies.

Understood, Your Majesty.

Blake snapped his fingers and said:

I'll do it.

However, what the submissive pirate was thinking at this time was:

I believe you, you cunning Neptulon, don't you just think that the Stone Mother's domain does not conflict with you at all? With Al'Akir, I still have to compete with you for the priesthood of 'Storm'.

But the problem is, releasing it is the best choice for me.

Gee, it seems like I have to find a ‘white glove’ to do this.
