Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 316 25. Now, let’s call you “Elf Pirates”——[3040]

(Additional update for Prisoner Brothers on the Throne [5/15])

The battle in the ruins of Shal Ellan ended at dawn.

The result of the battle was quite perfect. Under the command of His Excellency the Commander, Arcandor's seeds were obtained. The upper elf druid who guarded the seeds was also captured, and the queen of the Faldorei Spider Elves was also captured.

The only fly in the ointment was that during the retreat, seven or eight pirates disobeyed orders and went to the spider elves' underground city to plunder treasures.

They did find a lot of elven treasure.

But unfortunately, they could not bring out the treasure alive.

However, since Captain Grayson's beloved Jotunheim Power has seven or eight more ghost sailors, Black doesn't lose much after all.

"Next time you dare to act casually, those guys will be your fate!"

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the wilderness of Suramar, Black said to several pirate leaders in the cleaned underground space of Meredell:

"Although we are pirates and there are no requirements for military discipline, but if we can't obey orders, what are we going to do with this waste?

Annie, I know your North Sea fanatics are used to being wild, but that was in the past. Now that they have joined the Undead Pirates, they must abide by my rules.

I don’t want to see that the next time something goes wrong, it’s your subordinates. I want to see your ability to command incompetent subordinates. Can this be done? "

"Yes, Commander."

Captain Anne, wearing a pirate trench coat and a looting hat, handed a bottle of rum to Blake and said:

"Such a problem will never arise again."

"Well, that's good."

Blake bit the cork of the wine bottle, took a sip of wine, and glanced at the surrounding underground space that had been lit with lights, as well as some of the trophies he had collected last night piled nearby.

He waved his hand and said:

"Divide those things among the brothers. They are not worth much, but it is our tradition to share the spoils after the war. Let them all cheer me up.

In three days, I will take you to do something big! "

The leaders nodded tacitly.

Although the Commander didn't say it clearly, in a place like Suramar, which is full of ruins, where else can you go if you want to be big? It must be the elven city shrouded in magical power.

Suramar City.

The pearl of the ancient elven empire, how many good things should there be in the City of Ten Thousand Years?

"When everyone hears the legend of Suramar City, they want to make a fortune, but if you are destined to go in, you may not be lucky to come out, so preparations are indispensable."

Blake drank most of the wine bottle in his hand, burped, waved his hands, and said to the pirate leaders under his command:

"In the past three days, you have all gone to catch the Withered Spells for me. In these ten thousand years, Elisande doesn't know how many elves have been exiled. There are so many Withered Spells on this land.

The more you catch, the more likely we are to loot.

So, think about your treasure dream, and get moving for me. After this trip is over, as long as you are still alive and come to Beihai with me, you can do whatever you want, I won't interfere.

understand?

If you understand, just do something. Why are you hanging around me?

Do you expect me to do tricks for you?

Get out, get out, I can't breathe. "

During the expulsion of His Excellency the Commander, a group of pirate leaders carried several boxes containing loot and headed for the ruins outside the underground space, where the pirates were still waiting to divide their loot.

Blake threw his share into the bag, stood up, moved his shoulders, and headed to the second floor of the underground space under the ruins.

It's obviously artificial here.

It can be seen from the ring-shaped stone walls, platforms and pillars built around it. The reliefs on them reveal a sense of grandeur and should be a product of the Elf Empire period.

Blake knew exactly what this place was for.

This is one of the dozen magic network nodes of Suramar City's Night Well on this land, and its scientific name is the Magic Canal.

When Elisande propped up the barrier that enveloped the city to fight against the catastrophic disaster, it was the support of these nodes that prevented the city of Suramar and the surrounding land from being shattered.

But after that, these magic nodes were abandoned, and all magic power was concentrated in Suramar City to replenish the magic power of the elves in the city.

When this expansion pack was released for the game, players called these children of the night "du-sucking old bitches", which was a very appropriate description.

The children of the night have been sucking magic for ten thousand years, turning them into a group of hopeless addicts.

"Oh, you are recovering well. Such a serious injury healed in the middle of the night. It is indeed a Faldorei that has been transformed by magic."

The pirate went down to the second floor. In the open space, the captured Fadore spider elf was tied up with chains. Behind her, there was a "cage" tied with ropes.

There were more than thirty Fadorei Dryads, large and small, locked inside. The pirates used snake-man blowguns when they captured them. Those "crystalized deer" haven't woken up yet.

Blake walked up to the spider-elf queen who was lying there like a small mountain of meat. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the strange thing in the darkness in front of him.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this form, it can definitely scare any misbehaving child to tears.

He changed his fierce attitude from last night and said in a very gentle tone to the cowardly Spider Queen in front of him:

"I had no choice last night. You and I are both leaders, so you should be able to understand my difficulties. Sometimes I have to be a bit vicious to make my incompetent subordinates feel afraid.

But trust me.

When you get to know me, you'll know that I'm not just a vicious person, I'm a cruel and ruthless person. "

Blake paused, looked at the spider queen in front of him, and asked:

"I ask you, since it was Arkandor who turned you into such a miserable state, why do you keep looking for that seed?"

"Because, it. It can twist us, it can heal us."

The cowardly Spider Queen glanced at the pirate.

She had fully understood Blake's behavior, and coupled with the intimidation of General Lyresa who was sitting on a box in the shadows, making arrow shafts with a small knife, she knew everything and said:

"That druid, Farodin the Valley Walker, has been hiding from us since we failed to plant Arcandor, and hid the last Arcandor seed in his hand.

He feels guilty towards us, he feels that he caused us to be like this.

I once sent an envoy to ask him, and he said that although our form has been completely distorted, if we can get the fruit of Arcandor, our too dark and ferocious appearance may be corrected to the point where it can be classified as 'normal' 'Degree.

At least, at least it can make us no longer afraid of the sun and allow us to return to the surface life.

That's our only hope. "

"Well, this is really a humble hope. It's really pitiful."

Blake sighed in a perfunctory manner, and pointed to the seed that was now carried by Windrunner's mother and never left her body. He said:

"Then look, your last hope is with me. As a queen who I think you should be quite sensible, what do you think you should say now?"

"I am willing to be loyal to you!"

Oraxis, the queen of the spider elves, really understood. After the pirate said these words, she immediately leaned down and responded in Salas language:

"You must have obtained this seed because you have similar needs. I can guess it from the ghost of the powerful elf ranger who values ​​that seed so much.

Her people must have the same needs as the Children of the Night and us.

This proves that this seed will be put to good use in your hands, and I am willing to be loyal to you.

All I ask for is that after Arcandor grows up, you can kindly share with us the fruit that cures this 'alien'. "

"Is it so straightforward?"

The pirate blinked and said:

"You are a queen after all, shouldn't you bargain a bit?"

"Sir, my title of 'Queen' is only self-appointed by the lowly ones like us."

Spider Queen Oraxis smiled bitterly, straightened up, placed her crystallized forelimbs on both sides of her body, and said in a difficult tone:

"Before we were exiled from Suramar City, we were not big people. After being exiled, we just wanted to escape the sad fate of becoming the Withered.

Becoming a Faldorei is a nightmare, but no matter how difficult the times are, life must go on, right?

We established our own small kingdom in the underground temple left over from the Elf Empire, but even at its peak, my tribe did not have more than 500 people."

"its not right."

Blake blinked and said:

"The strength of your army last night was definitely more than 500."

"That's our descendant."

The Spider Queen was a little shy and whispered:

"After being shaped into a form like a spider demon by the energy shock when Arcandor died, we also have habits similar to the spider demon, laying eggs and so on.

Anyway, those are not my people, my lord.

We only recognize the first generation of distorted Faldorei as true tribesmen.

After the second generation of vampires were hatched, we thought the kingdom was in sight, but they retained our cursed form and spellcasting abilities, but they failed to fully inherit our wisdom.

The third generation of blood descendants have lost most of their wisdom. By the fourth generation, our kingdom is no different than a gathering of beasts.

They are just a bunch of failures, a bunch of beasts. "

When he said this, the Spider Queen's face, which was as skinny as a stick under the hood, revealed undisguised disdain and disdain.

This made the pirates sigh.

The arrogance of these Nightborne elves is indeed as powerful as their madness. They are so depressed that they are still in the mood to engage in "racial discrimination".

We all look the same, so we can just make do with it.

If you have to give it to your own people, then divide them into three, six or nine.

"In short, my title as Queen is worthless at all. Last night's attack was only possible because I promised them the power of Arcandor, and that was why I was able to gather so many Faldorei soldiers."

The Spider Queen sighed and said to the pirate:

"Since it is useless, I won't feel any psychological pressure if I abandon this title."

"If I put you back, how many people can you bring back from the underground realm of shadows?"

Blake asked again.

The Spider Queen propped her chin up with the purified claw blade. After thinking for a few seconds, she said to the pirate without confidence:

"The first batch of Faldorei are still alive, but most of them live in isolation. They have been desperate for too long. There are also some kingdoms that are addicted to ruling beasts and have long since corrupted their hearts.

I tried my best to search for them, but the most I could bring back with me was only 150 people. "

After seeing the pirate's obviously unhappy expression, the Spider Queen hurriedly added:

"But we were both arcanists in Suramar, and we can all cast spells.

I can also bring back my most loyal pet, 'Hilic', who is the mistress of the underground spiders. It is also twisted by Arcandor's energy. It is very powerful, powerful, and cunning. Can produce a large number of demon spider eggs.

It is the most important war machine in my kingdom. We rely on its offspring to capture food. "

"Well, this is not bad."

The pirate nodded, threw the key to the chain to Spider Queen Oraxis, and said:

"Then go back and gather your followers and pets. Since you were arcanists before, you must have the ability to open the portal. Does Broken Shore know?"

The cowardly Spider Queen nodded, showing a hint of disgust, and said:

"It was a very bad place. A few months ago, someone did something terrible there. The magic wave with evil energy spread to the underground kingdom. I thought it was the Burning Legion from ten thousand years ago that came back.

It shocked us.

I don’t know which boring bastard made such a fatal joke. "

Blake's expression became a little weird.

He wanted to tell the Spider Queen that he was the "boring bastard" she called him, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it out loud. He just ordered the Faldorei Spider Queen:

"Take your people there, and someone will pick you up. There is still some cabins left on the Alpaca, and I will leave it to you to build a nest. Keep this."

The pirate threw an elf gold coin to the Spider Queen, who clamped the gold coin together with her crystallized claws, looked at it carefully, and exclaimed:

"This is a gold coin minted in celebration of Her Majesty's 2000th birthday!"

"Not anymore, it's just your ID."

Blake was embarrassed and said:

"Anyway, get on with your work. Although you are like this now, you can barely be called elf pirates. Very good, my fleet is more diverse.

We are only a little bit away from the goal of the Azeroth Scum League. "
