Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 300 9. I have a bold idea that is not mature yet——[1435]

(Added update for the assassin Gilu brothers [4/5])

"Now, why are you so grimacing? Are you still thinking about that key? It's not necessary. Didn't I already say it? As long as the time is right, I will definitely help you steal the scepter from the Throne of Tides.

The time has not come yet.

Come on, have a smile.

I traveled around the mainland this time, but I collected a lot of good stories. If you want to hear them, I will tell you three different stories in a moment.

You will love it. "

"I want five!"

Under the sea of ​​Vas'j'ir, above the seabed of the kelp forest, the Nag'far is suspended on the bright sea floor, and on the deck, the unhappy ancestor turtle collector Kojo is accompanying the pirates to enjoy the underwater scenery.

After hearing the pirate's promise to tell him a story, the collector reluctantly showed some interest, and then offered a "killing price", which made the sullen feeling in his heart dissipate a little.

"Okay, five is five."

Blake, who was sitting on the side of the ship, was holding a bottle of "aged wine" that the ancestor turtles found on the seabed. He was struggling to remove the stopper, put it under his nose and smelled it.

Well, it tastes a little weird, but it must be good wine.

He admired the seabed scenery in front of him and poured a sip of wine into his mouth. The cold liquid slid into his intestines and stomach, making Blake shake his body and let out a comfortable moan as if he drank a mouthful of ice water on a cold day.

The bottom of the sea in Vasj'ir is different from other places in the Endless Sea.

There is no dark seabed here.

Instead, it shines like land under the sun, thanks to the coral reefs scattered all over the seabed. These corals have been infected by magic all year round and have been transformed into special things.

They emit colorful lights on the seabed, illuminating this large area of ​​​​the seabed as if it were daytime.

Of course, part of the reason is that the place is dotted with ruins of buildings from the ancient elven empire. The ruins of elven temples and towns from 10,000 years ago can be seen everywhere on the rugged seabed.

Just like the legendary city of Atlantis that sank under the sea in Blake's previous life.

Just looking at the majestic buildings that stand proudly in the sea and have been washed by the sea for ten thousand years without collapsing or fading, you can vaguely see the splendid scenery of the ancient elven empire.

"Before Vashj'ir sank into the sea, it was a large city of the Elf Empire. Its beautiful scenery was no less beautiful than the legendary Suramar, or the Elf capital Zin-Azshari.

When I occasionally played with Chromie, she always liked to take me to the elf city at that time.

The earth at that time was much more beautiful than the fragmented state it is now. "

While Blake was looking at the underwater scenery in front of him, behind him, the pirate dragon Sephiel also sighed, admiring the scenery after the end of civilization.

Blake didn't answer.

He has seen the scenery of Suramar City. The remaining upper elf city is indeed a beautiful place in Azeroth.

But the sight before him was enough to calm the pirate's mind.

The place where they are now is called the Seaweed Forest. It is on the edge of the Vasqir Sea, on a raised seabed, and it is covered with green seaweed.

Those huge leaf-like creatures took root on the seabed, soaked their tree-like bodies in the seawater, and swayed with the current, like a gust of wind blowing through the forest.

In fact, when you are really in the underwater world, without the reference of sea level and surrounded by water, it will be difficult to tell where you are.

Under the sea, there is a three-dimensional space.

To put it bluntly, moving under the ocean is actually no different from flying in the sky, at least in terms of senses.

On the floor of the endless green seaweed forest, there are also colorful coral reefs, which make the place as beautiful as a fantasy.

There are large shoals of fish feeding here. They are like flocks of birds, "flying" freely in the sea water. You can also see large sharks swimming here in the distance.

These beasts of the deep are supposed to be enjoying their meal here.

But because the Nagfar hovered here, the cold aura it exuded made the big sharks afraid to approach here.

From Blake's perspective, looking into the distance, one can see an underwater town of the Ancestral Turtle hidden in the kelp forest. It should be a shelter that has been prepared long ago.

While it is very hidden, there are also a large number of sea turtles swimming nearby as camouflage.

"You said before that you were planning to set up a portal between this underwater town and Tol Barad Island?"

Blake drank the wine with pleasure. He turned to Ko Qiao, the ancestor turtle collector beside him, and said:

"In the future, do you plan to use my island as your stronghold in this sea area?"

"Um."

Kou Qiao sighed, and the turtle man moved the bag carried on the back of the big turtle shell, and said:

"It turns out that our town cannot withstand the attack of Naga under water. They have not attacked us before, but there is no need. No one knows why these Naga suddenly settled in Vashj'ir.

But they must be pregnant with some conspiracy.

Since fighting in the water is no match for Naga, we might as well build a city on the coastal land and fight on land, with the help of your snakemen and pirates.

Unless the Nagas come out in full force, they cannot capture Tol Barad.

However, there are many secrets of the ancient elven empire hidden in this sea area. Our ancestor turtles cannot resist the temptation of such secrets, so we definitely cannot give up here.

Build a portal to connect the two sides. If Naga attacks, we will hide on land.

Anyway, this is the relic of an ancient war, and there is plenty of magic power. We also have the materials to build the portal, and the Ancestral Turtle also has a spellcaster, so don’t worry about this.

We can handle it ourselves. "

"I know why they suddenly took up residence in Vashj'ir."

Blake took a sip of wine, snapped his fingers, and said to Kojo without any hesitation:

"Because this is the weak point of the elemental realm, and there is a lot of magic power for the Nagas to use. Here, they can open the rift leading to the Throat of the Abyss.

You may not have noticed, but the Nagas are using this method to enslave the water elements in the Throat of the Abyss and fight for them.

You know what the 'Throat of the Abyss' and the 'Elemental Realm' are, right?

You don’t need me to explain it to you, right? "

"Ok, I know."

Kou Qiao nodded his turtle head and said:

"It was a long time ago in the barbaric era. It is said that when the gods fought against the Dark Empire, they defeated the elemental monarchs who served the God of the Abyss. They used the divine power of creation to create the four gods of wind, fire, water and earth who were born at the beginning of the world. The elemental monarch created a cage called the 'Elemental Territory'.

It is an elemental world that is attached to the material world, and the Throat of the Abyss is the territory of the water elemental monarch, the powerful 'Tide Hunter' Neptulon.

But doesn’t it mean that the elemental realm is very stable? How could the naga open the rift to the Throat of the Abyss? "

“It’s just generally solid.”

Blake poured the last sip of wine into his mouth, shook the bottle, and threw it into the magic bag as a tribute to old Garni.

He recalled the wonderful taste of the wine, wiped his mouth drunkenly, and said:

“During the War of the Three Hammers more than two hundred years ago, the Dark Iron Dwarves used a spell they didn’t know where to summon Ragnaros, the Fire Demon King, and created the Burning Plains, Searing Gorge, and Desolate Land.

That incident proved that, hundreds of thousands of years later, there was actually something wrong with the elemental cage created by the Titan Guardians.

I guess the Nagas got their inspiration from that incident.

Their large-scale gathering in Vashj'ir only happened in the past two hundred years. In the past, this place was just a borderland of the Naga Deep Sea Empire.

Queen Azshara undoubtedly wants to subjugate an elemental lord to serve her.

Her Naga Empire is already the strongest force in the Endless Sea. If she has the loyalty of the Elemental Lord, she will truly rule every water area in Azeroth.

The arrogant queen also has the strength to do this.

The only thing she lacks is an opportunity. The Nagas are constantly trying to expand the cracks in the elemental realm deep in the abyss of Vashj'ir.

They brought sacred weapons like the Tide Scepter here probably for this purpose.

They continue to enslave the water element and continue to anger the elemental monarch, until they find an opportunity to lure the tide hunter out of its kingdom.

Well, having said that, I suddenly had a bold idea. "

The pirate rubbed his chin.

He drunkenly stretched out his hand, held Kou Qiao's short neck, and leaned most of his body against the turtle man. He said in the turtle man's ear:

"How about we help Naga?"

"Um?"

Kou Qiao is also a clever little boy.

He immediately understood what the pirate meant, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and thought. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the pirate's wild and sexy idea was very feasible.

The dull turtle's face also showed a hint of surprise and eagerness to try.

After a few minutes, Kojo said:

"But we don't have a spell that can tear apart the elemental realm. Otherwise, I'll ask someone to find the Dark Iron Dwarves and see if I can buy from them the rituals and spells they used to summon the Fire Demon King. .”

"Just give me the money. I have everything you need."

Blake laughed.

He coughed and asked to the empty side:

"Do you know the rituals and spells that open the elemental realms?"

"Of course, my little master. Who do you think taught the Witch King Thaurissan the spells and rituals to summon the Fire Demon? Haha, it was me."

Xalatath, who was on call, laughed briefly in Blake's ear, and she whispered:

"The Elemental Lord is just a servant of the Old God and the Ancient God, and the cages built by the Titans are all the same. Of course I have a way to open the cage in a short time.

But I think, with your evil wisdom, what you want is definitely not to open the elemental realm in a short time. You want to open it forever, ah, what an arrogant goal!

What an overbearing ambition.

I knew that choosing to serve you was the most correct thing I have done in these thousands of years.

But if you want to unlock a lock forever, you have to find the right key, or simply go to the person who forged the lock. Yes, go to Hela.

It was the sea witch who created the elemental realm using the holy objects left by the Titans. She must have a way to unlock it. "

"No, I'm not looking for her. She will reject me arrogantly and then humiliate me. I won't give her this chance."

Blake sneered.

He said:

"I can go find my dear Wings. It also has the ability to crush the elemental realm."

"The mad Deathwing will only eat you up, my little master."

Xal'atath said quietly:

"The advice I give you is the best. If it is inconvenient for you to come forward, I can find a way to contact Hela. Why do you have to go against her? Cooperating with her will obviously be more helpful to your dominance."

"Look, this is why I don't like you. You always put yourself on an equal footing with me and always like to teach me how to do things, but you are actually just my servant.

You said this yourself, right? "

Blake said to himself:

"You always boss me around, Xal'atath, and I don't like it. Give me the spells and rituals. All I need now is an item that can interfere with the Titan's power."

The pirate turned his head and snapped his fingers at the turtle man Kojo, who was looking at him with strange eyes and talking to himself.

He said:

"It's time to set off to find the Tidestone of Golganais, my friend. When we return victoriously, we will join forces to prepare a big surprise for Her Majesty Queen Azshara!

Her Majesty the Queen will love it!

She will love to jump up from her throne, wave her many tentacles, and express her joy with rude curses.

And then, she will also hear my name.

Tsk tsk, it’s such an honor for me to be heard by His Majesty, the ‘Light of Lights’. "
