Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 345 54. Come on board, Dean, let’s sail to the new world together - additional update for good brother Huo Zhengting [45]

Nathalath Academy, in the treasure trove of the principal's office.

In a small area, two people and one ghost were confronting each other. The ship's doctor, Natalie, was basically of no use except as a bait.

But she was the one in the best condition on the scene.

Except for the black windbreaker being torn to pieces by the magic power, he could be considered unscathed.

And Blake is a bit miserable.

Although Dean Lanyue didn't release too much magic, he made the pirates quite uncomfortable with just one attack. The main reason was that the place was too small, and Black didn't dare to use too much force here, so as not to weather it. The ghost place that has been here for ten thousand years collapsed and buried me in it.

On the other hand, Alya Blue Moon has no such worries.

Her spellcasting was very delicate, and she set the standard of destructive power very accurately, ensuring that the magic power could suppress Black without causing damage to the building.

Such mages are the most difficult to deal with. They do not blindly pursue the destructive power of magic, but instead pursue the coexistence of control and power, and regard the perfect manipulation of magic as the basis for spellcasting.

They are so much more powerful than the mages of the Five Fireball God Sect.

But even if Dean Lanyue is so powerful, she is in an extremely awkward situation now. It is not the pirates that put pressure on her, but the fragments of the Tidestone that Blake touched in his hand.

The fragments of this Titan artifact have been placed in Nathalas Academy for ten thousand years, and Dean Lanyue has also studied it in depth.

But Dean, a legendary spellcaster, tried various methods, but he was not sure that he could maintain the power of the Tidestone fragments without exploding when he activated them.

When complete, it can be exploited by elven spellcasters.

But it has been broken, which represents the damage to the outline of the Titan's divine power that binds it. Once activated, the unstable energy is likely to trigger a secondary explosion.

And now, the moon-white stone fragment in Blake's hand was wrapped with violent energy that made Alya Blue Moon feel hairy all over her body.

Apparently the ignoramus' fearless pirate impulse activated the shard.

"Don't be impulsive!"

Dean Lanyue shouted, resisting the rush of Titan energy in front of her, and dropped the elegant staff like a key in her hand to the ground. She pushed up her crystal glasses and said to Blake:

"Control your magic power, maintain the churning of the fragmented energy, and don't release it. It is already very unstable. Once it breaks out, it will immediately blow the entire academy into rubble.

Just like when it shattered ten thousand years ago, it destroyed the entire Faronar in an instant. "

"Look around you, Dean, do you still need me to destroy this miserable place?"

The pirate waved his flaming sword in the air several times and said:

"This place is in ruins!

And you, your subordinates and your students have been acting here for ten thousand years. I knew something was wrong at Nar'thalas Academy. Someone must have modified Azshara's curse.

Turning this place into a weird reincarnation at midnight.

Did you do it? Dean.

Did you twist the curse imposed on this land by the cruel queen of the elves into another form? Do you really want to keep your academy?

Even if it is ruined. "

"I did it. Don't be impulsive. Don't be so irritable. Be gentle and calm."

Alya Blue Moon raised her hands and used the gentlest tone to calm the pirate's mood. The way she looked at Blake now was like looking at a black iron sapper holding an explosive pack.

She didn't know Blake was a wall hanging.

You can use weird character card abilities to turn all magic items into equipment with clear data, and even refine them into unscientific things like "skills".

She only saw the fragments of the Tidestone in Black's hand, where energy surged violently.

In the perception of this ten thousand-year-old legendary spellcaster, those rioting and high-energy Titan energies are extremely unstable and may explode at any time, and when they explode depends on Black's poor magic control.

She didn't dare to irritate the pirates, lest the fragments of the Tidestone explode in the next second, repeating the tragedy of ten thousand years ago.

But in fact, the fragment of the Tide Stone held in Blake's hand is very stable. If the pirate does not activate the skills, the energy inside it will not explode. According to the description of the Tide Stone entry, among the three active skills, currently only "Roar" "can be activated.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Lan Yue is frightened.

When Blake saw Lan Yue's current appearance, he knew what she was thinking.

This evil-minded pirate also showed a weird laugh and deliberately pushed the Tidestone fragment in his hand towards Alya Blue Moon.

This action made the dean immediately take two steps back, waved his left hand, and threw a teleportation spell on Natalie who was watching the fun behind him, teleporting her out of this "dangerous" area.

Dean Lan Yue is too professional in the way of magic.

Because of this professionalism, she is very aware of the terrible consequences of losing control of the Tidestone, and it is precisely because of this that she is manipulated by evil-minded pirates.

As a master assassin, pretending to be a ghost is his specialty.

Blake is very good at this.

"Why do you do that?"

Only he and Dean Lan Yue were left in the treasure house, and the pirate asked directly:

"Why did you spend so much energy to modify Azshara's Curse into what it is now? It won't be any different if the ghosts in the academy spend ten thousand years doing nothing like the ghosts in the outside world.

There are rumors in the academy that you never leave your office, and it has even become a scandal in the academy.

I guess, during these ten thousand years, you have been carefully maintaining the 'college reincarnation' by staying in your office, right? You were a legendary spellcaster ten thousand years ago.

The cursed form keeps your soul intact and will not be pulled into the Shadow Realm. You can still explore the true meaning of magic with your ghost body.

Logically speaking, you should be stronger than you were ten thousand years ago.

But you are so weak. Maintaining the distortion of the curse for ten thousand years has exhausted your mental strength. This must be very hard. I'm curious, why do you do this? "

"I want my students and my mentors to maintain their sanity."

Dean Lanyue glanced at Black, and she explained:

"You have also seen the state of the ghosts in the ruins of Faronar. Being cursed for ten thousand years has caused them to lose their accurate perception of time and become confused.

Ten thousand years of memories filled their minds in confusion, but they were not arranged in precise time order. One second they are thinking about yesterday, and the next second they will jump to a night thousands of years ago.

Their memories are confused.

Unless the curse is lifted, there is no hope for them.

But the ghosts in this academy are sane, and my spellcasting ability is far inferior to that of Queen Azshara, so I can't lift the curse she unleashed.

I can only use this clumsy method to divide the long ten thousand years into a day that reincarnates 3.65 million times. From this, my students will only remember what happened 'yesterday'.

The disturbance of time and the power of the curse cannot be combined to affect their sanity.

Apart from losing their bodies, they are no different from when they were alive. "

"What's the point?"

Blake frowned and asked:

"No matter how sober a ghost is, it is still a ghost. When they know the truth, they will still collapse in pain, and they may even become irredeemable ghosts due to resentment."

"Wrong! Big mistake!"

The pirate's question made Dean Lan Yue cross his arms and make a "refuse" and "wrong" gesture.

She emphasized seriously:

“My students’ minds are clear-headed, their minds are wise, and most importantly, their desire and pursuit of knowledge have not been dissipated by time.

They are still the same group of apprentices who were eager to learn knowledge in this academy and become excellent spellcasters ten thousand years ago.

If only I could find a way to lift the curse!

They still have hope to fulfill their ideal of becoming a spell caster

They will not stop pursuing the truth because of such a trivial matter as death. It is just a change of life form. For real spellcasters, this is not a problem at all.

In the deepest part of the college library, there are my collection of spiritual research works. I have been studying ways to make the soul last forever, and I have made progress.

This is the future I leave to my students.

This is the best future I can get for them.

Yes.

As long as I can find a way to lift the curse."

Alya Lanyue's tone became more stubborn, and she said in a sad tone:

"The night Azshara cast a curse and destroyed Azsuna, I couldn't stop her. I couldn't protect the lives of the hundreds of thousands of elves in Faronar City. My power was too weak, and I couldn't save their cursed souls. .

But at least I can save my students.

This is the reason why I have been alone and awake for ten thousand years, and it is also the only reason why I stay here. Blake Shaw! Your actions are threatening the future of my students.

Drop the Tidestone! If you can't control its violent power, you will destroy all my ten thousand years of persistence!

I don't allow it!

Put it down or I'll"

"What else would you do?"

The pirate sneered and asked:

"Kill me? Make me one of you? But I am also your student, Dean. I have completed the admission procedures, and I am also a member of Nathalas College!

Are you going to sacrifice my future for the future of other students? "

"You're a bad student!"

Dean Lanyue clenched her fists and responded coldly:

“This academy with a long history and profound heritage has also given birth to many magical tyrants and butchers. When the Burning Legion invaded the world, many of them helped.

I have to say, Blake, you and the crazy people I taught have many similar traits. "

"Be confident, Dean, and say what you want to say but haven't! I will be the most evil, cunning, crazy, and violent guy among all the graduates of Nathalas College since its establishment more than 10,000 years ago.

I know.

You have seen in me the potential to become a 'devil'.

But I am still your student. "

The pirate laughed, and the flaming sword in his hand dissipated.

Under the gaze of Elya Blue Moon, his hand slowly left the Tide Stone. As the pirate's fingers moved away, the terrifying energy entangled in the fragments of the Tide Stone was smoothed away bit by bit.

"Okay, Dean."

Blake spread his hands and said to Alya Blue Moon in front of him:

"To be honest, when I held the Tide Stone, I had the ability to kill you, but I didn't do that. Your care and protection for your students moved me.

When I think that I can also experience the protection from the dean, my heart is filled with joy.

You have tried your best to protect the legacy of this academy.

But you also have to admit that Nathalas College has long since declined. In the world ten thousand years from now, among all the spellcasters, no one has heard of the name of this college.

Is this true?

Is this reasonable?

We are a truly 'famous school' and a true holy land of magic, but the world doesn't know about us. Instead, it regards Dalaran and Quel'Thalas as the highest palace of magic.

It’s so funny. "

The pirate pretended that he didn't see the two sword-like balls of arcane energy held in the Dean's palm. He took a few steps towards Dean Lanyue and said:

"You are the only sane person in this college, Dean, and let me be honest with you, I want our college to be great again in this new era.

I have a piece of land far away from here, which is suitable for becoming the new site of Nathalas Academy.

I'm not bragging, but I still have some money in my hands, and I want to invest all this wealth in the reconstruction of the college. I want the name that was world-famous 10,000 years ago to be known to everyone again. "

He spoke for a long time with great affection.

Then he stretched out his hand towards Alya Blue Moon and said:

"Dean, take your students and join my fleet. We can help each other and achieve each other."

"Do you think you can make me believe you by saying these meaningless words after you just tried to blow up everything I protect?"

Dean Lan Yue said in an indifferent tone:

"Do I seem so easy to deceive? You only want me and my students to serve you. You are no different from Azshara who regards us as tools and ants!"

"maybe."

The pirate curled his lips, lowered his voice, and said:

"But why not? You are already dead. You have been dead for ten thousand years. There are not many opportunities left for you. You should seize every one of them with all your strength.

Besides, I am your student, Dean, how could I do something that would endanger the school? As a first-year student, what bad intentions could I have?

Look at my eyes, they are shining with such sincerity. "

PS: I have been suffering from mumps for the past two days. Half of my face is stinging. I was dizzy and set the scheduled release wrong. I posted two days in one day, and the chapters were messed up. I troubled the editor to adjust the chapters. return.

But now that everything has been posted, I simply posted next month’s leader update in advance.

After publishing these five chapters, I still owe Brother Huo Zheng a good five chapters. I will make up for it next month after I finish coding it out. Brothers, you must pay attention to your health. It feels so uncomfortable to be sick.
