Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The name Blake used to remind (wei) (xie) the two indigenous demigods is a taboo in the Drustvar Mountains.

The so-called Gorak Tuor is not a real world-destroying demon king in Blake's view, but he and his Drust sect almost destroyed the people who landed on Kul Tiras two thousand seven hundred years ago. Thoradin's pioneers were wiped out in waves.

If there hadn't been a fierce lord like Arom Waycrest who relied on exquisite tactics and the help of the Ash Knights and two demigods to beat the Drusts to the ground, today's Kull Tiras might still be a deserted island ruled by lunatics who drink raw hair and drink blood.

The situation when Kul Tiras was first established was very complicated and cannot be explained in a sentence or two.

But Blake knew that the lingering Gorak Tuor was the mortal enemy of the big horned deer in front of him. Back then, Asal was almost sacrificed by Gorak Tuor to spread the magic of death.

Atene, the lovely star-glow doe, would have been a widow more than two thousand years ago if Colonel Arom hadn't saved her from an evil ritual.

That was also the beginning of the thousand-year secret agreement between the two demigods and the Waycrest family.

But now, when he heard Blake say the name Gorak Tull, Asal, who had always been calm and elegant, immediately raised his head, and a rare fierce light burst out in his eyes.

Are you sure what you're saying is true, human?

The big-antlered deer said sharply:

I don't know where you got the forbidden name of Gorak Tul, but if you dare to deceive us, you will bear the painful excommunication of this dark forest!

How dare I deceive a demigod? I'm just a poor, weak pirate. I have to be careful even when I set foot on the land of Kul Tiras.

Blake pouted and said:

But you don't have to be too afraid. You are no longer what you were back then. You are very powerful now. If Gorak Tuor dares to show up, you will definitely beat him to death.

But the biggest problem with the evil is that I don’t think it will jump out and fight you openly. Those evils already suffered a loss two thousand years ago.

They will definitely come secretly this time.

And with all due respect, in terms of playing tricks, the two of you tied together are probably not as powerful as one human being.

You can go to the Crimson Forest to see it with your own eyes, in the evil place at the center of the red forest, in the dark swamp and temple where even after more than two thousand years there is still no grass.

You can always feel that lingering coldness. To be honest, I really don’t know what you two have been doing for more than two thousand years. If you know there is a problem there, wouldn't it be better to just destroy it?

We must give them a chance to return to reality.

You don't know the secrets of this land, pirate, and I have no intention of telling you them.

Asal glanced at Black and said hesitantly:

“I will take a look and if what you say turns out to be true, then my spouse and I will consider reconnecting with the Waycrest family.

We and they are the guardians of this ancient land. If darkness sweeps across again, we will unite.

Then I wish you good luck.

The stinky pirate laughed and whistled to call Miss Hisali Black Crow, the black falcon flying in the sky, to come down and land on his shoulder. The pirate's body was dwarfed by the pressure.

Good guy, Miss Black Crow has gained a lot of weight.

He bowed to the two demigods in front of him and said:

I really want to stay and help you, but I really have no interest in small-time gangsters like Gorak Tull and Drust.

They can't even crack the top twenty on the 'Ranking of Evil Creatures in Azeroth'.

My opponents are all tougher guys, so I won't get involved in your affairs. But before we say goodbye, can I ask these two generous demigods to do me a small favor?

Just because I brought you a warning.

Say it, human.

Asal raised his head and asked elegantly.

that.

Blake rubbed his hands and pointed at the snow peaks above the black forest, and he said;

“I know that there is a powerful person living in seclusion there, and I want to visit him, but I don’t want my lovely wind vulture to brave the cold and snow to send me up there again.

So can you two please give me a ride?

I know you are fast on your feet.

You want to ride me?

Heart of the Forest Asal's tone became unkind.

It shook the sword-like antlers on its head and said:

Would you like to try what it feels like to be impaled by antlers? Pirate.

Well, you can ride her, she seems to have a much better temper than you, my dear Asal.

Blake pointed at Atene, the star doe.

But he was obviously making a malicious joke. After saying this, he turned around and jumped into the shadows.

Atene, the forest secret guard wearing a starlight gauze, screamed in provocation. The star points on her forehead shone, and sharp dark star points hit the surrounding shadows like a meteor shower.

But aside from a long, malicious laugh from Blake, there was no splash.

You are simply a master at seeking death!

In the forest, old man Sachiel, who was placed on Blake's waist, laughed and said:

Why do you always like to provoke those powerful beings that you can't afford to offend? You should know that if those two deer go crazy, you will probably die in the forest, right?

Do you really like the feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife?

I like to joke with them. These creatures on the order side are too serious.

Blake pouted and said:

And I'm not looking for death. I'm just sure that Asal and his consort will not abuse their power. These wilderness demigods are very disciplined.

As long as you know how to deal with them, you don't have to worry about irritating them.

You see, when I face those barbaric Loa gods who don't follow the rules, I won't joke like this.

Really? But I see that when you get along with that guy named 'Old Garni', you dare to say anything.

Thakir complained:

It's like an ant making friends with an elephant. Even if the elephant doesn't mean any harm, the ant still needs to know his identity. But you don't.

And you, who are so rude, can still live so well.

It was such an eye-opener for me.

What can I say?

Black rubbed his chin and said to Thakir:

I can only say that everyone likes me. I can't help it. Who makes me such a lovable pirate?

vomit

Thaqir moved his skull up and down, making a shameless sound of vomiting, then closed his mouth again, readjusted his consciousness and restored his forbidden wisdom.

Without its interruption, Blake mounted the vulture again and headed towards the snow-capped mountains above the black forest.

Beside him, Hisari Black Crow, who had grown eagle feathers, seemed to be having fun.

She waved her stronger wings wantonly, flying between the clouds in the sky, competing with the birds that lived on the snow-capped mountains, scaring them with her paws from time to time, and having a great time.

Blake couldn't bear to look at that innocent look.

I thought that after this idiot Druid changed from a trade wind crow to a falcon, his personality seemed to have changed. Maybe it was the falcon's wilder animal nature that was at work, right?

Quack

The little fishman hiding in Blake's arms stared at the black falcon circling overhead with an envious expression. It let out a melodious cry, seeming to beg its owner.

But Blake just curled his lips and said:

Why do you, a fish-man, need wings? The sky has never been your domain, okay? Just go diving and ask the Ancestral Turtles to help you find the shrine of Gross, the shark body?

After they find it, we will find a way to deceive some of that big shark's power and make you a shark ring.

This way you will be awesome.

The little fishman tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

As a marine creature, it really shouldn’t envy the falcon’s wings, although it always looks very handsome and mighty when flying in the sky.

Guagua, I want it!

Nearly twenty minutes later, the pirates riding the eagles finally reached the mountainside of the peak of the Drustvar Mountains, which was covered with cedars, forming a cedar forest in the year-round snow.

There were so many trees that there was not even a path for walking on the ground, but by glancing down from the wind and snow at high altitude, and with Blake's amazing vision, he easily found a trail hidden in the cedar forest.

Leading straight to a hidden cliff halfway up the mountain.

That's it! That cave, come closer, my baby, slow down, don't be discovered by the Great Thornspeaker hiding inside. That is a great druid. Although he is old, he and Senali The Druids of the Arcane Order are different.

Blake patted the hippogryph on its neck and said to it:

That is a Jing Whisperer who believes in the balance of life and death. If he thinks that my existence hinders the balance of life and death, he will be merciless when he kills me.

This guy is much more dangerous than two deer in the forest.

The smart hippogryph fully understood what Blake meant, and its movements in the air became quieter.

While the speed dropped, he kept gliding as much as possible, using a predatory posture that took advantage of the wind so as not to disturb any creatures, and quietly sent Blake to the side of the Xuefeng cave.

When the pirate got close to the cliff, he threw out the hook lock, fastened it on the stone, and carried himself and the little fishman down into the snow.

He did not jump into stealth, but straightened his clothes and approached the cave shrouded in wind and snow step by step. As he said, since he was visiting a hermit, he had to go there in an upright manner.

But when he was really close to the cave, Blake suddenly raised his eyebrows and rushed into Shadow Escape with a whoosh.

There are other people in the cave!

It was an aura that he was familiar with but also disgusted with, and the Great Jingspeaker seemed not to be there.

Blake narrowed his eyes, quietly took out the Defiler fragment, held it in his hand, and moved towards the cave that still maintained warmth in the wind and snow.

Stepping forward against the shadow at the base of the wall, he quickly saw a group of guys resting in this surprisingly large cave wrapped in various vines.

A group of watchmen!

Well, that's not accurate.

A bunch of wounded and in bad shape Watchers.

There were about six or seven people. They were wearing the Watcher's standard Moon Night Armor. Two of them who were not seriously injured were making soup by the campfire. There was also an elf without armor who was taking care of the remaining ones who were bedridden. of the injured.

To be honest, since Blake learned about the Watcher organization, he has never seen a group of Watcher female wolves in such a miserable state. But it can be seen from the style of their armor and their weapons that they are a group of new recruits.

Why did the Watchers appear in Drustvar? This has never been their 'traditional defense zone', and it doesn't look like the injury was caused by fighting the enemy.

More like an impact injury.

The pirates hid in seclusion and watched these night elves carefully. They were well-trained. Even if they were recuperating in this cave, they would remain vigilant as long as they were able to move.

Haha, a group of new recruits must be led by an elite warden when they come out for action. I don't know if they are some of my old acquaintances. But this is really a narrow road for enemies, my dear 'compatriots'.

Let’s arrest you rookie recruits first, and then torture them to find out who made you look like a bear.

Blake grinned in the shadows.

He inserted the Defiler fragment back into his waist, waved his hands lightly, and two moon blades strengthened by the source of matter fell into his hands. However, he did not rush forward to fight, but quietly activated the magic of the sleeping soul first. .

Let the wounded lying beside the campfire fall asleep first, and then cover the other watchers with the effect of magic.

In this warm cave, while the Watcher recruits were drowsy, a Black Moon Guard who was the least injured suddenly raised his head with a sudden inspiration.

The Lunar blessings on her armor were activated, awakening her from that lethargic state.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to warn, a whizzing moon blade suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The recruit reacted very quickly and raised the sword wheel in her hand to block it, but the shadow in front of her was floating like a ghost, flickering and falling behind her.

With a bang, the elemental moon blade hit the Watcher recruit's owl helmet, knocking her staggering and then being knocked back by the storm of sharp blades set off by Black's spinning body.

The last one was a standard sharp somersault kick from the Watcher in the abdomen, causing the young lady to fall to the ground in embarrassment.

She tried to get up, but the pirate quickly disarmed her. He pushed aside the neck guard of the owl helmet, raised his palm and gave her a hard blow on the back of the neck.

He then tied up the shaking recruit with a dragon tendon hook lock, then stood up and hung her on a high cave vine while leaping up.

Another recruit who resisted the slumber in his mind stepped forward to chase this troublesome bad thing, but as soon as he started, he saw Blake jumping out of the shadows in front of her eyes, raising his left fist, and amidst the faint sound of waves crashing. Punch her on the head.

This powerful and heavy [Tidal Impact] hit the recruits dizzy, and their whole bodies were covered and frozen by the sudden frost.

When she came to her senses, Blake's moon blade was already at her neck.

And a strange-looking little fishman jumped out from behind him, brandishing a sharp knife and poking the ear of another recruit at his feet.

The fish-man's face was full of fierce threats.

In the name of the Moon God, put down your weapons, recruits. I have no ill intentions at this time.

Blake said in Salas:

I'm an elite warden after all, so it won't be a shame to lose to me. And look, I have hostages in my hands. If you two dare to run away, I will kill them and make them into my 'spirit of vengeance'. '.

The only remaining Watcher recruit in front of her was a little at a loss when facing this surprise attack. More importantly, Blake's outstanding Watcher combat skills made her a little confused.

When did humans also have a Watcher heritage?

You two look confused.

Blake snorted and said:

I think we have a lot to talk about. Let's talk about it. Why did you wardens come to Kul Tiras for nothing? And who beat you up to be like this?

Although they are just a group of new recruits, in terms of combat effectiveness, I don't think there are strong men hiding in the Drustvar mountains who can defeat you head-on, unless you provoke those two deer.

Or try to assassinate or kidnap the owner of this beast's cave.

The pirate paused.

He looked at the beast's den around him and said suspiciously:

Let me confirm once, you didn't do this, right?
