Shadow Trails in Azeroth

In the next few days, Black stayed in Olfa's den, waiting for the watcher to recover from his injuries while working hard to brush the reputation of the old druid Olfa.

He tried his best to invite this old antique in the true sense of the word to stay temporarily in Tol Barad, repeatedly hinting that there were fun things there.

But the old Druid has lived in Drustvar for three thousand years. He has no intention of leaving here at all, and is even ready to sleep here.

He was annoyed by Blake.

In the end, he simply transformed into a weird giant bear made of flesh and blood, trees, and a big mask. He lay down in the den and slept, turning a deaf ear to all the suggestions of the smelly pirates. He was out of sight, out of mind.

Seeing that Orfa's reputation bar could not be unlocked for the time being, Black ran to refresh the reputation of the new recruits of the Watcher. Although under Nasa's order, these recruits ignored the stinky pirates at all.

But Blake's ability to taunt.

Right?

In the past few days, almost every day, new recruits who couldn't stand the provocation went to fight the stinky pirates one-on-one, and were then pushed to the ground and rubbed hard.

Just like this, on the last day, although the recruits hated the pirates with itch, they finally no longer ignored them as coldly as they did a few days ago.

Occasionally, they can still say a few words, especially when Blake teaches them combat skills. The recruits learn very seriously.

The strange thing is that Nasa did not stop this process.

Probably the warden's adjutant also recognized in his heart that this strange guy Black's understanding and use of the warden's combat skills had indeed reached the level of an elite warden.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with teaching the new recruit Danzi.

But she still privately taught several recruits to learn pirate skills and not to listen to his confusing words. In Nasa's eyes, that guy was a devil disguised as a human being.

Every word he spoke, even every word, had a terrifying power of bewitchment. Elite wardens like her were persuaded to cooperate with Black. There was absolutely no way that the recruits under her command could be Black's. opponent.

Therefore, one must always be vigilant.

His Majesty the Pope's team will arrive at Alom's Tower today, it's time for us to set off.

After Blake finished his breakfast, he ate leisurely and said to Nasa who was doing rehabilitation training on the top of the snow mountain:

You have met the Pope, right? You know how powerful that old man is. His influence in human society is comparable to your High Priestess of the Moon, Ms. Tyrande.

If you want to deal with the Church of Storms, you must first convince him.

I understand, you don't have to explain it to me.

Nasa was holding the moon blade on the top of the mountain to practice her combat skills. She said in a cold tone:

We are not ignorant about Kul Tiras. I know your plan to use the influence of the Church of Holy Light to interrupt the connection between the Church of Storms and the secular government of Kul Tiras.

I just doubt the effectiveness of what you're doing.

As far as we know, the Sea Sages are an important component of the Kul Tiras fleet. Even if King Daelin really realized the danger of the Church of Storms, he would not take the initiative to cut off his arm.

After all, without Hai Xian, the combat strength of the Ku Kingdom fleet would be reduced by at least half.

Maybe that's where they were meant to be.

Blake shrugged and said nonchalantly:

And even if the combat capability is reduced by half, Kul Tiras' fleet is still stronger than Azeroth. Don't underestimate Dailin, you elves.

He is already deliberately weaning his fleet away from dependence on Haixian.

As far as I know, in the past ten years, the frequency of fleets using Haixian in foreign operations has been greatly reduced. Moreover, their new warships have enhanced firepower and maneuverability, which is obviously preparing for the situation where Hae Hyun is unable to fight.

You mean, King Dai Lin is also aware of Hae Hyun's dark side?

Nasa stopped killing with the moon blade in her hand. She looked at Blake and said:

You mean, that king might also be our ally?

You want to win over Dai Lin?

Blake was stunned by the mind of the Watcher's adjutant for a moment.

He then looked at Nasa up and down with a strange look, tilted his head, rubbed his chin and said:

Well, the figure is not bad. The legs are very slender and the shape of the legs is perfect. He should like it, but the upper body is not so plump due to years of training. Points will be deducted for this.

I haven't seen much of your appearance, so I won't comment on it.

But if you are willing to sacrifice yourself, strip yourself naked and send it to Dai Lin's bed, maybe he will actually help you. After all, he has the magical talent of 'Elf Affinity'.

What did you say?

Nasa's tone became dangerous, Blake waved his hand and said:

Don't be angry. It's just a joke. Don't try to win over Dai Lin. You have to deal with his subjects in his land. Given his character, it's okay if he doesn't beat you up.

Still want him to take the initiative to help?

Dai Lin is a person who, at best, is determined, but at worst, is overbearing and resigned to death.

If you don’t hit the wall, don’t look back. If you break the wall, you’ll keep going.

Unless you let him see with his own eyes that all the sea sages in the Church of Storms have turned into Faceless Men or Kesir, he will never give up the greatest advantage of his fleet.

Even if we destroy the Church of Storms this time, Dailin will find a way to reorganize it and take the opportunity to completely bring the sea sages who have always been outside the political system of Kul Tiras into his rule.

He is a warrior!

Do you understand what I mean?

I must persuade the Pope to join our operation, just to use the Pope's influence to prevent the Kul Tiran fleet from getting involved in this situation.

You don't want to face them on the battlefield of the sea.

Okay, no more to say.

Come, follow me to see the Pope.

Blake gave an order, and the remaining Watcher soldiers who had recovered some combat effectiveness immediately set off from the Orfa den.

In the end, they still failed to convince the Great Jingspeaker to go with them, which somewhat disappointed the pirates.

But then I thought about it, Olfa's amazing combat power can only be perfected in the Drustvar Mountains where he has lived all his life. Once he leaves here and goes to the Stormsong Valley, in the realm of the sea, Druid like him will Ste's combat effectiveness has also been greatly reduced.

So, this is not a big problem.

On the top of the snow mountain, lying at the entrance of the beast's den, the Great Thorns Speaker wearing a strange big mask watched the pirates and watchers leave. He stared at the black forest and the ancient land below from this height for a long time. .

After a few minutes of silence, Orfa returned to the den and returned to his human form. He randomly woven tree branches into several weird wolves, and gave them temporary life with the blessing of strange natural magic.

Go and gather my disciples.

The Great Jing Whisperer ordered these bouncing wooden wolves:

I am not a human being, and I do not want to get involved in this dispute, but my disciples have enough reasons to defend their homeland. This is their war, and they cannot be absent.

Gather them to Stormsong Valley to help these forerunners fight against the darkness.

They can use the rock structures and the Darkwood Colossus stored in the ruins of Gorkovar, but they must not disturb the balance of life and death.

Perhaps, this is the day of rebirth of the Jingspeaker Sect.

The Ash Knights, led by Waycrest Bloodborn, will also return.

The ancient warriors are all back.

——

On the Arom Tower side, the Pope and his followers had entered the town and received a celebratory welcome.

Old Earl Waycrest personally took his son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law to welcome the arrival of the Holy Light on the land of their ancestors. Their family originally believed in the Holy Light, and their ancestor, Colonel Arom Waycrest, was a A loyal believer in the Holy Light.

However, due to the special situation of Kul Tiras overseas and the rise of the Church of Storms, the Waycrest family has been hesitating between the two beliefs.

But today, they chose to return to the embrace of Holy Light and Faith.

To be honest, the Pope agreed to officiate the wedding of Arthur Waycrest. In addition to Blake's invitation, there were also some pragmatic considerations in it.

The believers of the Holy Light in Kul Tiras are concentrated in the interior, especially in the Drustvar Mountains. If the Church of the Holy Light can establish its dominance here, then one-third of the entire land of Kul Tiras will be It will become the realm of the Holy Light.

For a sect leader, this is a temptation that is impossible to refuse.

Alonsos Fao is a devout believer who hates politics, but he always spares no effort to expand his faith in the Holy Light. This is a beautiful character that a clergy should have.

In the process of reaching the Drustvar Mountains from Tiragarde Sound, the ranks of His Holiness's followers also swelled three times.

Nearly twenty years have passed since the last time the Pope visited Kul Tiras, and the Holy Light believers here have long been looking forward to such a grand Holy Light Parade.

Many local zealots were wearing linen robes and following the Pope's procession as sincere men and ascetics. Some zealots even walked barefoot in the cold snow to express their gratitude. Express his fanaticism and sincerity towards the Holy Light.

Their fanaticism moved the accompanying senior priest Isenlien very much.

This pastor, who always thinks about tying heretics to the stake, has been preaching to the believers almost without sleep in the past few days. He stubbornly believes that this visit of the Pope will become a symbol of Holy Light and Orthodoxy. Victory in Rise of Kul Tiras.

Well, this guy is probably the most hostile cleric in this group of people towards the Church of Storms.

Blake, who was hiding in the crowd, felt that he didn't even need to persuade him.

Perhaps you only need to tell Isenlien, a fanatic, that he has an evil idea against the Church of Storms, and the high-ranking priest will join him in the name of purifying faith and saving souls, and He will fanatically strangle every Haixian he meets to death with his own hands.

This kind of person is the most terrifying.

In the name of faith, they will do horrible things that evil people cannot do. Once they really take power, the fragile peace of this world may come to an end in an instant.

follow me.

In front of the Church of Ashes on the platform of Arom, Blake watched the old pope walk up to the makeshift platform and prepare to start preaching to the gathered believers. He yawned and said something to a group of people hiding in the shadows behind him. The watchmen gestured.

explain:

It's probably more uncomfortable for you to listen to the teachings of this Holy Light than to kill you, so let's go to the old man's residence in advance and wait for him. Don't worry about being discovered. I have great personal relationships with the great knights.

They are all my friends.

So, there will be no problem if you put down your weapons and your guard.

A group of pure knights have a close personal relationship with a pirate. I think this in itself is the biggest problem.

Nasa complained.

Blake immediately looked at her differently, waved his thumb and said:

I'll give you nine points for this complaint. The one point difference is because I'm afraid you'll be proud.

Didn't you see it? Your Excellency, the boring gourd-like adjutant of the Watchers, also has a good talent for complaining. In addition to being the adjutant of the stinky woman in the Watchers, you also work part-time to entertain your companions with cross talk, right?

Won't you consider joining my fleet?

I need people like you.

Be serious, we are doing business here!

Nasa scolded.

Blake answered as he led them toward the back of the church where the Pope was staying:

Of course you are doing business, is it possible that you are here to have fun?

Nasa stopped answering.

She finally figured out that no matter what she said, Blake could turn it into a joke and throw it back. It was a complete waste of time to argue with this guy.

He must have two tongues, otherwise it would not explain why every word he said deserves a beating.

The group of people sneaked over the wall and sneaked into the back of the church. Blake found the high knight Dathrohan who was checking the surroundings. This man was really an old acquaintance.

As soon as the two met, Blake rubbed his hands and asked:

The Pope has been in Kul Tiras for almost a week. Has your expedition set off?

They crossed the Dark Portal three days ago.

Dathrohan said in a deep voice:

Fording personally leads the team, and the members are all high-level knights.

Thanks to the full support of the Storm Kingdom and the Council of Tirisfal, each man was able to bring three horses and enough supplies to last for several months, with gryphon knights and mages serving as outposts for reconnaissance.

As long as the map and information you provide are correct, they will move as fast as planned.

No matter how fast it is, it will still take a few months.

Blake shook his head and said:

The old man will always find out, and it will be your problem how to explain it at that time, but now that it is done, he will not call back those knights who have already entered the world of Draenor.

So, this matter is more than half done.

I need to have a secret conversation with Your Majesty, so I brought a friend here, the Elf Warden who helped Lothar in Lordaeron, but they also encountered trouble in Kul Tiras.

I think that was enough for the Pope to make up his mind.

You need to come up with more evidence.

The great knight whispered:

“On the first day that the Pope arrived in Kul Tiras, he invited Lord Stormsong to taste the holy relics, but the Silver Hand did not react in any way to the Lord’s touch.

That's what I saw with my own eyes.

Even I have some doubts whether he is really a dark one as you said.

If you want to hunt out the hidden darkness, what you need is not the Silver Hand. That Holy Hammer is used for combat and healing. It doesn't have much ability to distinguish evil.

This is a professional mismatch.

Blake shook his head and said:

But fortunately, I heard some records about another holy light artifact while at sea during this time. It may be able to solve the dilemma you are facing now of being unable to hunt for darkness.

If our cooperation is pleasant enough this time, I will personally deliver the news to Your Majesty.

you

The great knight was silent for a few seconds and said in a suspicious tone:

Are you trying to bribe the Pope? What a blasphemy! Maybe I should take you down right now!

What nonsense are you talking about!

Blake retorted with righteousness and seriousness:

What is a bribe? This is a trivial contribution made by a Templar Assassin to the Holy Light.

Besides, I didn’t give it to you for free.

You really should recite classics to cleanse your soul, and then look up the dictionary to understand the definition of the word 'bribery', you degenerate who only thinks about 'deal'.
