Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 647 200. Well, it's almost the same as when I was young

In the early morning of the next day, the flag of Kul Tiras was hoisted, and the second-class battleship "Tiragarde" commanded by the promising Lieutenant Commander Taylor of Banquo was sailing from the Palatine Sea to the deep sea.

The sea sages on board did not speed up the ship.

On the one hand, it was because yesterday's battle made the three sea sages a little tired and needed to rest. On the other hand, His Majesty Dai Lin on the ship seemed to be planning to take this opportunity of sailing to have a father-daughter relationship with his own daughter.

Dai Lin, who "enjoyed" a naval battle, was in a good mood. He drank a few more glasses last night, and he will still be resting in the cabin specially prepared for him.

But Mrs. Jinjian got up early and walked on the deck, only to see the stupid daughter Fenner sitting on the watchtower above the main mast.

The latter sat alone in that small, barrel-like place, looking into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mrs. Jinjian used a precise teleportation technique to send herself to the observation deck. The place is very narrow, and there is almost no room for the two of them to move their feet.

"Why are you staying here?"

The Elf Lady looked at her disconsolate daughter, and said:

"If you really don't want to go to Kul Tiras, at this distance, I can still open the portal and take you back to Quel'Thalas."

"It's not that I don't want to go."

Fenner said without raising her head:

"It's just uncomfortable being here."

"Does the sea make you uncomfortable?"

Mrs. Jin Jian blinked and said:

"No way?

You have half Proudmoore's blood in you, after all, your father said, and everyone in his family yearns for the sea, and being on land makes them uncomfortable. "

"No, now that I close my eyes, I can hear the comfort and call of the sea tide. In this sea water, my strength seems to be endless, and even my anger is more real.

But I'm not talking about the sea. "

Fenner glared at her mother who was pretending to be confused. She glanced at the poop behind and said:

"You know who I'm talking about."

"I do not know."

Mrs. Jin Jian replied with a straight face. She yawned, looked at the rising sun above her head, and said:

"That's a matter between you father and daughter. I won't interfere. I'm going back to catch up on my sleep now. Thinking about going to Boralus and fighting wits with Queen Caitlin, who is said to be very powerful, I have a headache .

You, take care of yourself, and don't burden your poor mother any more. "

"I just don't understand, why do you have to go back with him?"

Finner yelled:

"You are the Silver Moon Councilor of Quel'Thalas, a very powerful spellcaster, and the head of the Golden Sword family. You don't need to rely on any man, and no one dares to despise you.

You can live just fine on your own.

You can spend more than half of your life happily by yourself.

Dai Lin is just a passer-by in your life, not worthy of nostalgia, that's what you taught me since I was a child! "

"I can do that, but that doesn't mean I want to!"

Seeing her daughter getting angry, Ms. Gina Jinjian also became serious. She closed her eyes and felt the refreshing feeling of the sea breeze blowing on her face.

With a tone of subdued anger, she said:

"Your father is over 40 years old this year, and no matter how long he lives, he still has 50 years to live, and I only have 50 years to spend with him.

Then I'm going to his funeral.

I want to watch with my own eyes the life of the man I love is taken away by time, buried in the ground or sent into the sea.

I want to spend the remaining two thousand years alone with my thoughts and memories of him.

Every day since I lost him, I will be immersed in these memories, and I will rely on these few remaining memories to talk about being alone for the rest of my life.

I know you hate your father because he wasn't there for you a day when you were growing up.

But Finna Golden Sword!

You heard me clearly, the future you have to face is the same as mine.

Fifty years later, you will lose your father and lose him forever. At that time, no matter whether it is missing or hating, you will no longer be able to cross the curtain of life and death and bring him back to the world.

You are still young, you are still young, you cannot understand the sadness and despair of this fate.

I don't want to wait until you regret it in the future, and then come to me and cry.

My memory of your father is mine and I can't share it with you

That's why I must take you to Kul Tiras.

He has missed your birth and your growth, and I don't want him to miss your future life.

I don't want you to miss the days with your father. You are a half-elf, your lifespan is not as long as mine, and after I lose him, I will lose you too.

Think of your poor mother doomed to be broken twice, Fenner.

You can't be so selfish and ask me to hate him with you, stay away from him, stay away from the man I love!

Do you understand it? "

"I"

Fenner was terrified by her mother's sudden outburst.

Her mother, who was always gentle and rational in her memory, had never made such an angry speech, and she was not irrational enough to understand the meaning of her mother's words.

Even think about it with hindsight.

The stinky younger brother Bu Laike, who has always acted very selfishly, sent himself away so readily this time, and persuaded himself to go shopping in Boralus more and spend more time with his younger siblings, which probably has the same persuasion meaning in it.

Bu Laike didn't tie himself to him, asking himself to join the cause against Dai Lin. I really don't have the right to tie my mother by my side.

Fenner bit her lip.

She lowered her head and said to Mrs. Jinjian:

"Let me think again, okay?"

"What can you think of?"

Mrs. Jin Jian sighed, patted her daughter on the shoulder, and said:

"You don't have to feel worthless for me.

When I got along with Dai Lin, I just thought this young man from the ocean kingdom was very interesting. At that time, I just regarded him as a fateful encounter.

The latter choices were all made by myself, I could withdraw, but I chose to stay by his side.

I am willing to endure the possible humiliation for him, and to keep secrets for him. These are all I am willing to do, and there is no one who disappoints the other. You will also face such choices in the future.

Learn from me, Fenner.

Find an elf to be your husband, so that you don't have to suffer the fate of heartbreak like I did. "

"The elves are too cold."

Fenner pouted and said:

"They regard suppressing their emotions as a proof of their sanity, getting along with them is simply as plain as water, human life is short, but their life is like fireworks, short and exciting.

If possible, I would prefer to spend my whole life in the human world.

The two daughters of the Windrunner family are so outstanding, so they both want to talk to humans? The same goes for you, Mom, haven't you been tricked by Dai Lin, that old ruffian in the sea? "

"Ugh."

Mrs. Jin Jian felt that her daughter's statement was very tricky, but it was also very accurate. She also sighed helplessly, took her daughter's hand, and wanted to use a conveyor to take her down to the deck.

But when the mother and daughter were about to go back to the cabin to have breakfast, Fenner suddenly exclaimed and pointed to the sea behind.

she screamed:

"Look! Mom, that ship! That black ship, isn't that the flagship of the Gilneas? Didn't they return to Keel Harbor? Why did that ship come out to sea again?

And why did the escorting ships feel that something was wrong, as if they had experienced a battle. "

"Well, the situation is really not right."

Mrs. Golden Sword blessed herself with Eagle Eye. Looking over there, she could see clearly that a group of strange-looking murlocs were working on the deck of the Northern Lord, the black flagship of the Gilneans.

And there is a large group of disarmed Gilnean sailors, being whipped and wiped the deck by a group of fierce companions.

She told this to her daughter.

Fenna's eyes widened when she heard a group of murlocs sailing. She grinned strangely and whispered:

"As expected of you, you are truly skilled. It's really bad luck for the people of Gilneas to mess with you."

"what?"

When Mrs. Jin Jian heard her daughter whispering, she turned around and asked, Fenna shook her head, and said solemnly and excitedly:

"It's nothing, I just thought of some funny things. Let's go and tell Dai Lin the news, I'm so looking forward to seeing the expression on his face.

Woohoo, the ship that the great Dai Lin once drove was captured by a group of stinky pirates.

In conversion, isn't it equivalent to the great Dai Lin being robbed of his glory as the King of the Sea by a group of pirates?

Tsk tsk, that must be fun. "

Amid Fenna's sinister laughter, Mrs. Jin Jian, who still didn't quite understand what happened, led her to knock on the door of Dai Lin's cabin.

As for the admiral, who just got up and washed up, and was about to open a bottle of wine to "sober up", after hearing that the second flagship of the Gilneans was also captured by the undead pirates inciting the fleet rebellion, the expression on that moment was really wonderful.

Fenner, who watched, was full of joy.

Now she likes to see how unlucky her cheap father is.

"Your Majesty, do you want to launch an attack on those pirates?"

After Dailin changed into the navy uniform, walked up to the top floor of the poop, and used the telescope to observe the small fleet sailing in the direction of Tol Barad in the distance, Major Taylor, who commanded the ship under him, suggested in a deep voice. arrive:

"I heard before that the Gilneas navy recruited a group of exiled North Sea pirates, but the number was not large. Coupled with the information brought by Mrs. Golden Sword, it can be judged that they must have used surprise tactics, plus murlocs. With the help of pirates, these ships were captured by luck when the Gilneans were tired and relaxed their vigilance.

But with their number, it is impossible to effectively control these ships, they can barely sail.

With the help of Haixian on our ship, it only takes a quick charge and shelling to take back the Gilnean flagship and send those pirates to the gallows! "

The serious Major Taylor glanced at the small pirate fleet in the distance, and said with disgust on his face:

"The bold pirates who dared to carry out such vicious tactics in the core control area of ​​​​the Gilneas fleet have proved that they are not ordinary pirates.

Just letting them leave like this will inevitably cause serious hidden dangers to the order of the endless sea!

It may even interfere with our Kul Tiras strategy in the South China Sea.

Your Majesty, please order! "

Dai Lin didn't answer right away.

He put down the binoculars in his hand and handed it to the loyal great knight Cyrus beside him. The admiral put his hand on the railing, and he watched the fleet go further and further away with a blank expression.

After a minute of silence, Dai Lin shook her head and said:

"The sea sages are very tired, and this ship is performing an escort mission. The soldiers on the ship are not full. I believe in your commanding ability and your will to fight, Taylor.

But we don't need to take this risk for the national interest of Gilneas, and we don't need to sacrifice our own soldiers for Genn's face.

I broke the rules yesterday, and commanding their fleet was already overreaching.

Don't make extravagance today.

Ultimately, this is between Gilneas and the undead pirates.

The Palatine Sea has never been a sea territory governed by Kul Tiras, and we have no say here.

In fact, from the king's point of view, the deeper the undead fleet and Gilneas entangled, the better it would be for Kul Tiras. "

"But Your Majesty, they are pirates after all."

Major Taylor said somewhat unwillingly:

"Since the end of the Orc War, not only here, but even in the South China Sea, there have been a large number of pirates, if we don't take this issue seriously."

"Who says we don't take it seriously?"

Your Excellency the Admiral turned around and said to Taylor:

"Going back to Kul Tiras this time, the first and second fleet's rest period is over. I plan to send them to the South China Sea to carry out a large-scale hunting campaign in both east and west directions.

The pirates are making trouble here, I can ignore it.

But I will not allow them to mess around in the South China Sea, Taylor, your meritorious service in the orc war is enough, I plan to promote you to be the commander of an advance fleet."

"No, Your Majesty!"

Major Taylor shook his head. He was not happy because he wanted to be promoted, but he sternly refused:

"My command ability has not yet reached that level. It is difficult for me to manage a ship well. I thank you for your favor, but I think I should stay on my ship for a few more years to accumulate experience.

Anyway, I'm still young, and I'm not in a hurry to get promoted. "

"Well, that's fine too."

Dai Lin nodded, he remembered one more thing, and said to Taylor:

"The Kingdom of Stormwind will also form their navy in the near future, King Varian Wrynn asked me to send some experienced officers to help them establish their naval system.

Are you going over there as a Royal Navy adviser?

It will take a long time, it may take four or five years, but it is a very good opportunity for an outstanding young man like you to build a sea force from scratch and truly experience the feeling of being a commander.

Compared with the easy work of hunting pirates in the South China Sea, building a navy is a very arduous task, but it is also a task that can hone people.

After you come back, I believe that your command ability and overall situation must have been honed, and you can become a general. Four or five years is enough time for the fifth fleet of Kul Tiras to take shape.

At that time, you will be able to solve my problems for me, and your resume will be beautiful enough to help you be promoted to high-level positions such as the deputy commander of the fleet. "

"this"

Major Taylor was a little moved.

But he didn't answer immediately, but humbly said to Dai Lin:

"Please allow me to take a moment to think about it, Your Majesty, this is an important choice after all."

"Well, let's go."

Dai Lin smiled and said:

"An outstanding young man like you is the future hope of Kul Tiras. I believe that no matter where you are, no matter what time you are, you will never let me down.

The sea will not let you down. "

The major gave a military salute, turned and left.

Only Dai Lin was left alone, looking out over the sea from the poop with his loyal Grand Knight, and the royal guards around were far away, not listening to the king's secrets.

"He's really good, Cyrus."

Dai Lin closed her eyes, feeling the sea breeze.

The general said softly:

"Better than I imagined, cunning, strong, with wisdom, courage and strength.

He learned everything I taught him.

Even if he stays with me, one year is not enough for him to grow to this point. Hehe, it seems that experiencing a death really changed him profoundly.

He's barely as good as I was when I was younger, which is a real pride. "

"He is much stronger than when you were young, Your Majesty, when you were his age, you were still serving as an anonymous captain in the army of Lordaeron.

But he was good enough, but he chose to become a pirate. "

As Dailin's absolute confidant, the silent Cyrus will say:

"He made a wrong choice that no one in Kul Tiras will forgive him. It is doomed that he will not be able to inherit your throne, nor will he be able to support the future of Kul Tiras."

"I don't see it that way."

Dai Lin shook his head, he said:

"He wanted to challenge my kid to defeat me at sea, and to take over my throne in a way that left others speechless.

Very idealistic, very ambitious.

Also stupid.

But isn't that what young people are? Can one be called a young man without arrogance? "

Hearing this, Cyrus was silent for a moment, and said:

"Then are you going to let it go?"

"talk later."

Dai Lin waved her hand, took out the jug from her waist, unscrewed the lid, took a sip of wine, and wiped her lips comfortably. The admiral of the sea laughed and said meaningfully:

"The boy is too skinny to beat up right now. I'm really looking forward to seeing him next time. Ah, finally something good to make Caitlin happy.

That might make her less difficult for Gina.

For the sake of the children, the two mothers must live in harmony. "
