Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Zarak, take people to the wine cellar and bring out all the fine wine stored in Lord Medivh's cellar."

He saw his evil villain walking out of Karazhan's kitchen with a strange smile on his face. It seemed that his action of inviting the cooks on board was going very smoothly.

Blake, who was holding a pipe in his mouth, took out a dozen large backpacks bought at a high price from the Ancestral Turtle from his luggage, threw them to the trolls around him, and seriously warned:

"Those fine wines will belong to me from now on. If you dare to break a bottle, you will be finished.

The other four people took the soul stones to the stables and packed away the undead horses, ghost grooms, and the blacksmith. My royal hunter, Sir Attumen, will lead the way.

What about Kanrisade?

Where did that skinny boy go? "

"He's at the opera with his damn grandpa, Captain."

Xie Yan tossed the soul stone in his hand up and down and said in a sarcastic tone:

"That little sissy was crying just now."

"Hey! You bastard! Don't insult those beautiful and sincere feelings. You are an emotionless warlock and a heartless villain. Don't you allow others to have feelings?

As for the Opera House?”

Blake's eyes lit up. He first scolded his incompetent subordinates, then rubbed his chin and said:

"I wouldn't have thought of it if you didn't tell me. There are a lot of 'talented people' there. Xieyan, please make more soul stones. It's not easy to come all the way.

Let's pack them up and take them away later.

The space above the Nagfar is quite open, so it would be nice to have a small opera house on the lower deck. I'm going out for a walk, and you have to take care of these things before I come back. "

The pirate left the matter to his subordinates, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the banquet hall.

Evil Eye and Razak knew that the captain must be doing something "big". Perhaps he was planning another terrible robbery like Treasure Island.

But the captain didn't take them with him, which meant that he didn't want them to be involved, which made the two guys very disappointed.

"The captain thinks there is something lacking between the two of us."

Evil Eye turned to Zarak and said:

“This can’t go on like this.

I've seen the fate of countless bastards who failed Gul'dan in the Shadow Council, and we must show our worth or we will soon be kicked out. "

"Then let's start with this matter first."

The troll glanced at the dozen magic bags in his hand, he responded, and quickly left the banquet hall.

Xie Yan also grabbed a handful of soul stones and walked majestically towards the opera house.

Black didn't know that his actions had caused such great psychological pressure on his subordinates, but even if he knew, he would be happy to see this, and he would have reached the lower level of Karazhan.

But on the steps going down, he saw Kanrisade Aberlock sitting there alone.

Blake stepped lightly, and the skinny boy didn't notice his captain approaching. He just sat there, holding something in his hand, still wiping tears.

"Do you know what those bastard sailors would do to you if they saw you crying on the ship?"

Black's voice suddenly sounded behind the thin boy, startling him, and he hurriedly put the thing in his arms, but the pirate was not interested in that thing at all.

He reached out his hand and rubbed Kanrisade's head maliciously.

explain:

“They will laugh at you for being a wimp, they know you will cry, they know you have weaknesses, so they can bully you.

They will steal your things, torture you, and humiliate you.

If you are unlucky and meet some guy with bad taste, they will try to turn you, a little boy, into a little girl.

It's hard for a weakling to survive on a pirate ship.

Fortunately, you are not on board yet. "

Kanrisade wanted to shout something to Blake to express the pain in his heart, but when he looked up and saw Blake's face, he gritted his teeth. After a few seconds of struggle, he whispered:

"My grandfather is gone. He could have stayed here happily with the undead in this tower, but when he saw me, he recalled the truth.

He knew he was dead.

He asked me about the outside world. He knew that my father abandoned the people and ran away. He was very painful.

He gave me his ring and asked me to revive the family.

Then"

The skinny boy sobbed, took out the luxurious sapphire family emblem in his hand, and said:

"He left. He said that dead people should accept their fate. He also said that the Holy Light would protect him in another world. Captain, will the Holy Light protect him?"

"Well, according to my experience, probably not. The divine power of the Holy Light stops at the curtain between life and death, and the world after death is not under their control.

Unless they plan to launch a terrible war, the bastards who call themselves Holy Light have done it once before, but unfortunately they failed. "

Blake shrugged and answered truthfully:

“But the world of the dead has its own rules.

If your grandfather hadn't done anything bad, he could have found peace in that world.

He will find the souls of your grandmothers, your ancestors, and will live with them forever in a golden and dazzling paradise, where there are soft blue angels to protect them.

If you want to see him, I can send you there now. "

The pirate waved his finger lightly, and the sharp Devil's Strike fell into his hand. He held the blade and handed it to the thin boy. He pointed at his neck in a gentle tone and said:

"Stab here hard and you can go see your grandfather. Don't be afraid, it won't hurt."

"Well"

Although Kanrisadeh is young, he is not stupid.

He did not reach out to pick up the dagger. He still had attachments to the world of the living. He would not want to embrace death without watching his sister grow up.

"Ha, it seems you don't want to die, that's good."

Blake's tone became impatient and he said:

"Then why are you putting on such a dead face? Your grandfather is gone, you are sad, but life still has to be lived, little pirate! Now wipe your eyes and follow me!

We have a big job to do.

Since this is your first robbery, so..."

"Ding"

A delicate elf gold coin flipped over and landed in Kanrezad's hand. The moment it touched the gold coin, a chill that could freeze the soul surged out of the skinny boy's hand, making him shiver.

"This thing can save you, but it can also kill you."

As Blake walked out the door, he reached out and took off the tie on his collar, threw it aside and said:

"If you can follow me out of the scariest place in Karazhan alive after fifteen minutes, it will be yours. You and Evil Eye learned the warlock spell, right?

very good.

I will teach you now how to survive as a warlock.

Come on, I usually don't have the patience to teach people, so you've earned it tonight.

Don’t forget to give me a share of the money you rob in the future. "

——

The part above the ground of the Karazhan Mage Tower already looks like a castle shrouded in darkness, but the part underground is truly astonishing.

Go down the dark cellar behind the stable to reach the underground building of the Mage Tower.

This place was built by Medivh using his own magic power when Sargeras took over his soul. However, the entire underground building was originally created long before Medivh was born.

In fact, before the birth of human civilization, many terrible things had happened in Deadwind Pass.

The unusual terrain of the large river valley in this place was created after several disasters. It was not a sudden thought that Aegwynn chose to build Karazhan in this place.

As a guardian of Tirisfal who knows countless secrets, Aegwynn is well aware of the dangers of this place.

But just because of the danger, other mages would not come here, so she was safe hiding here.

"At least give me a weapon."

Fourteen-year-old Kanrisade, with his head shrunk, followed Blake all the way down the cellar. As he got closer to the underground, the surge of dark magic became more astonishing.

It was so strong that he, a kid who had just started and was not even an apprentice, felt the real danger.

He shouted to Blake, who was leading the way.

The pirate was very indifferent and said to him without looking back:

"You can't deal with anything that may appear here. Even if you are given a divine weapon, you will not be able to protect yourself. In this case, what is the use of weapons besides satisfying your own uneasiness?

Be quiet, you little fool.

They are not here now.

So it's safe here, at least for now, it's safe, keep up! "

Blake jumped down from the spiraling steps and landed as light as a cat in the damp and dark cellar. Behind him, Canrisade also fell with him.

But immediately there was the sound of falling into the water.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

Blake looked back at the skinny boy who was crawling out of the cold and smelly pool, and he said doubtfully:

"I dare to jump down because I am a master assassin. What gave you the courage to jump down with me without knowing the environment clearly?

Do you want to commit suicide? Then why didn't you give yourself a knife just now? "

"I"

Kanrisade wanted to say something to ease the embarrassment, but the pirate in front of him didn't stop at all and strode forward, asking the skinny boy to shake off his wet clothes and quickly follow.

This is not a good place at first glance.

Although the pirate always talks harshly, the only way to survive is to follow him.

After walking in the dark for a few minutes, they encountered a locked door. Blake sneered, took out a thief's lockpicking tool in his hand, and concentrated on dealing with the lock in front of him in the darkness.

It's rusty.

It had obviously not been opened for many years, and it was not a magic lock, so a few seconds later, as the lock cylinder popped open, Blake reached out and pushed the door open.

The next moment, the skinny boy following him let out an uncontrollable exclamation.

baby!

The dark cellar in front of you is filled with all kinds of treasures. The wooden shelves on both sides are filled with delicacies and treasures from various civilizations, each one glowing slightly in the darkness.

There are bottles made of sapphire, exquisite and luxurious swords, and some luxurious-looking clothes decorated with jewels.

In the center of these treasures is a magical spring.

Even if no one is here, the spring water is constantly emitting pure magic power. It is a security device.

"Easy, right?"

Blake took out a dirty, palm-sized bag from his luggage and threw it to Kanrisade, who was stunned. He smiled softly and pointed to the front of the jeweled cellar in front of him.

On the weapons rack there were two things.

A two-handed giant sword covered in dust and with an exaggerated shape.

A long-handled scythe that was dark and covered with spider webs.

"Did you see them?"

The pirate said to the skinny boy:

"I'll help you disarm the trap. You go over and pick up the scythe. If something attacks you, use the magic item in your hand to fight back.

Don't be afraid, I will protect you in the dark. "

"you!"

At this moment, Kanrisade found himself in a very embarrassing situation.

This fourteen-year-old skinny boy was not stupid. He immediately realized the fatal problem. He screamed to Blake:

"Are you using me as bait?"

"Ha, otherwise you think I brought you here for what? A primary school student outing?"

The pirate snorted and quietly disappeared into the shadows. He said:

"Aren't you going to become a warlock? Then remember today's lesson. Next time someone takes the initiative and generously takes you on a 'treasure hunt', be careful.

Go ahead and walk over and pick it up.

Don't be afraid, the 'thing' in the sickle hasn't been full for hundreds of years, and it is very weak now. Don't be scared. If you dare to run away, I will break your legs and throw you over.

The result is the same anyway, so why make yourself suffer more? "
