Shadow Trails in Azeroth

(Additional update for "Huo Zheng is very good" brother [5/5])

Long before Queen Azshara cursed Azsuna in anger, Elya Blue Moon was already a well-known spellcaster in the Elven Empire.

In addition to his powerful spellcasting ability, Dean Lanyue is known for his excellent teaching ability.

As she said, she and Narthalas Academy trained countless outstanding spellcasters for the Elf Empire during the era of Queen Azshara. Her knowledge is extraordinary, she has witnessed the prosperity of the empire, and she has also witnessed the collapse of the earth.

She is one of the few ghosts on the land of Azsuna who is still conscious under the curse.

All in all, it is very powerful.

It is basically impossible for a pirate to deceive the dean into trusting him with just one word.

Just seeing how she refused to leave her office for ten thousand years in order to protect her students, you can see how determined this legendary spellcaster is.

If he wanted Lan Yue to put aside his prejudices and take the entire academy and the pirates with him, he would have to come up with a stronger argument.

"I also have a lich friend, a guy who has been dead for three thousand years and whose soul is still extremely stable."

Black sat beside the broken stones in the treasury, holding in his hand a delicate wand that had not been disenchanted for thousands of years. He flicked the black wand and put it to his ear to listen for the echo of magic.

He raised his head again and said to Lan Yue Yue Chang, who was checking the status of the Tide Stone in front of him:

"Dean, you are so well-informed, have you ever heard of the profession of 'lich'?"

"Um."

The dean said without looking back:

"A long time ago, when I was talking to Queen Azshara who came to inspect the academy, I heard her talk about it. At that time, our queen was studying the six force systems of the universe.

She told me that one of her little experiments worked.

The soul of a troll is stabilized in a very special state. It is in a strange state between life and death. It will not respond to the call of Bwonsamdi, the troll god of death. It can break away from the shackles of the body and stay in the material world for a long time. world.

She claimed that it was a new stage in the study of the power of death, and perhaps she could grasp the mystery of death from it.

But unfortunately, less than two years after that conversation, the Queen was immersed in the study of another power. Her talent was unquestionable, and her research was very successful.

In her palace, she broke the isolation between the material world and the twisted void, and summoned a demon named Hakkar. It was said that the demon would perform dog training skills for the queen.

He thus became the most favored jester in her court.

You should know what happened next. "

"Hakkar, the Dog King, I know. That demon is probably still alive now, guiding the legion to the specific location of Azeroth, and it has made great achievements in the Burning Legion.

It is very possible that he has become a demon commander, and he doesn't know which world he is free in. "

The pirate chuckled, his expression turned serious, and he said:

"I can help you have a meeting with my lich friend. The knowledge about souls in his mind can help you, Dean, better protect my seniors who will never graduate in ten thousand years.

I personally have been trying to get in touch with certain forces in the world of the dead. If I can complete this contact and get help, I may be able to make Nathalas College truly 'alive'.

This is the last offer I can make to you.

I'm waiting for your reply. "

Blake paused and said:

“But no matter what, I have to take the Tide Stone with me!

Its existence and its significance to my career are hard to imagine. Only after possessing it can I be qualified to challenge my father on the sea. "

"Just qualified?"

Dean Lan Yue turned around, raised an eyebrow, and said:

"With a sacred object like the Tide Stone, you can call yourself the 'Sea Demon King', but you say you are only qualified to challenge your father.

I don't know what makes the relationship between father and son so tense in your race. Maybe it's a barbaric tradition.

But I think you are over exaggerating your father's power. "

"exaggerate?"

The pirate savored the word.

He thought for a while and said:

"My father only needs to send a formation of five battleships, fully loaded with 3,000 soldiers and 100 tide sages, which is enough to sweep across the entire Azsuna.

The premise is not to offend the blue dragons hiding here.

If Na'thalas Academy is located on the seaside, it will only take up to five volleys from five warships, and you and everything you protect will be reduced to smithereens in the fire.

Legendary spellcasters like you may survive, but the Academy of Nar'thalas will be history.

Not to mention that the curse of the Tide Stone protects you from death. Those Tide Sages who believe in the nightmare of the sea have many ways to make you ghosts worse than death.

And my father could easily put together fifty of these naval formations.

He has four fleets under his command

When it comes to naval battles alone, the Elf Empire in its heyday 10,000 years ago may not be his opponent. Only such a force can be called the King of the Sea.

Well, I'm just an insignificant guy, and now I don't even have the qualifications to be taken seriously by him.

Therefore, I am determined to obtain the Tide Stone.

Will the dean still choose to fight with me?

Or should we resolve this matter in a more peaceful and dignified way? "

"I want to see that friend of yours with my own eyes."

Alya Blue Moon glanced at Blake and said:

"After that, I can make a decision."

"Simple."

Blake took out a crystal ball from his magic bag.

This thing is not a Xibei thing used by the old sea dog Silver Moon Harry to show off, but a real magic crystal ball. It is generally used for divination magic. Under certain conditions, it can also be used as a carrier for long-distance communication.

This was given to him by old Merry when he left Dalaran last time.

The old lich also said that Black is not allowed to use this crystal ball until the critical moment. This is not because there will be trouble when starting it, but because Old Merry is very aware of Black's bad habits.

He didn't have time to chat with Black, the old lich was always busy.

Blake glanced at Dean Blue Moon and injected his magic power into the crystal ball. Ripples like water waves shone in the dark red crystal ball.

very nice.

It's like searching for a signal, waiting for a call to be transferred.

After waiting like this for nearly a minute, Old Meili's expressionless face slowly appeared in the crystal ball, but his eyes were filled with indifference and resistance.

This old lich's autism is getting more and more serious, and he is obviously resistant to communicating with others. It seems that after becoming a lich, mortal emotions are gradually being stripped away.

He asked in a concise tone:

"What's up?"

"Good thing."

The pirate responded with a playful smile, but the old lich over there was about to "hang up" the communication. Black hurriedly said:

"It's really a good thing. I found a new friend for you. Like you, he is a ghost who has been dead for a long time. The difference is that you have only been dead for three thousand years, while my dean has been dead for ten thousand years."

"Huh? Ten thousand years? A spell caster during the Elf Empire?"

Only then did Merry become a little interested.

The pirate handed the crystal ball in his hand to Alya Blue Moon. In a very professional gesture, the dean used magic power to hold the crystal ball in the air.

Then he used a magic technique that Blake couldn't understand at all. The magic power was injected into the outline of the crystal ball, like a holographic projection, to project the bust of Old Merry in front of the two of them.

Lifelike.

It's like old Merry is really here.

"Is there still such an operation?"

The pirate's eyes widened.

When Merry handed the crystal ball to him, he didn't say that it could also achieve holographic simulation communication!

"Calm down, my student. This is just the basic operation of illusion magic. There is nothing to be surprised about."

Dean Lanyue felt that the pirate's surprise was a bit embarrassing, so he said to him:

"If you want to learn, just go to Assistant Teacher Sesoni. He is also very good at illusion magic."

But that's not what Blake is focused on.

After the magical image of the crystal ball was magnified, the pirates clearly saw the scene behind Merry Dongfeng. In the dilapidated and dark hall behind old Merry, there was a man holding a torch and looking around.

Under the firelight, Blake could see the huge thing lying in the hall.

A dragon!

There was a young dragon with green scales, which looked like it had just been killed, and two girls, one tall and one short, squatting there to collect the green dragon's blood in a container.

"Why did you run to the Temple of Atal'Hakkar? The guy with the torch behind you is Khadgar, right?"

Blake frowned and asked:

"I can understand if you take him with you, but why are you taking Jaina with you? Are you crazy? She is only ten years old! If a nightmare dragon man rushes out at any time, he can take her away with one knife.

Is this how you take care of my sister? "

"Calm down, Blake."

Old Meili's voice still didn't fluctuate much, and he said calmly:

"My apprentice is not as fragile as you think. Her talent is extremely amazing, even better than when little Aegwynn was young. She can now easily handle those dragon casters.

As for why I came to this nightmare place.

It was the Prince of Dreams, Eranikus, who sent a warning to the outside world through a dream crystal. The crystal fell into Khadgar's hands, and Khadgar brought it to me. "

Having said this, the old lich paused, narrowed his eyes, and said to Black:

"We are now heading to the place where the Emerald Legion seals the evil power. Do you have any advice for me? My all-knowing friend."

"My dungeon guide is very expensive!"

Blake snorted arrogantly, and when he saw Jaina's figure, he sighed again and reminded:

“Don’t go directly to Eranikus.

First, go to the place where the Hakkari trolls are entrenched. The entrance should be in the northwest corner of the underground temple. First, go and see if they have completed the rituals secretly followed by the evil god Haka over the past few hundred years.

If completed, you may want to make another trip to Stranglethorn Vale.

In addition, Eranikus' situation should be very bad. He has been completely captured by nightmares in the past few years. You cannot solve this matter.

After destroying the nightmare incarnation of Eranikus in the temple, take the purified crystal to the Dawn Woods in the Dusk Forest.

Look for the green dragons, the guardians of the Emerald Legion, in that valley, and let them solve their own internal problems.

The corrosion of dreams is terrible, you can ignore it.

But Gianna was too young.

She couldn't stand it. "

"Is there anything else you would like to remind?"

Old Merry carefully recorded the "strategy" given by Blake in his magic handbook, and asked again:

"You just mentioned Haka, the evil god worshiped by the Hakkari trolls? Can it also be summoned in this temple?"

"Can."

Blake recalled the dungeon process and said to the old lich:

“They tamed the wind snakes carrying the blood of Hakka in the underground temple, killed them first, obtained the blood with divinity, and then used the blood to extinguish the brazier in the ritual of the Hakkari troll.

In a forbidden area shrouded in darkness and filled with blood, if you chant forbidden spells, the incarnation of the evil god from the shadow realm will be summoned to the material world.

After killing it, you can get the real gods and demons.

I'll give you the spell for summoning, but I want the spirit and spirit of Hakkar!

Give me at least half. "

"Very well, give me the spell."

The old lich asked very rudely:

"After killing the incarnation of the evil god, I will give the demon spirit to Old Garni and he will bring it to you."

The pirate made a deal gesture and recited a series of songs and incantations in Troll language in praise of the evil god Hakkar. At the end of the sentence, he also warned:

“Remember to ask the luckiest of the four of you to go look for it in the Hakkari Trolls’ treasure house.

I remember that there should be an excellent robe made by the Gurubashi trolls when they were ruled by Hakkar, and they collected it as a sacred object.

That is a rare treasure. "

After saying that, the pirate made a "please" gesture to Dean Lan Yue, who was drafting next to him, and stepped aside.

"Hello, Lich."

Dean Lanyue was also rude and named Old Meili's identity in very elegant Salas language.

she says:

"Your friend, my student Blake, tried to trick me into bringing the students of Nathalas College into joining his delinquent group.

He said you can give us valuable knowledge in exchange for our recognition of him.

Will you give us this valuable knowledge? "

"Blake is a real bad guy, you dare to accept him as your student, you are truly fearless.

When you get along with him, you must be careful, Mr. Dean, this guy is full of evil and has many tricks and schemes at the blink of an eye. You must be careful not to be betrayed by him. "

The old lich made an unprecedented joke.

Then he nodded and said:

"I saw your weird ghost body, which should be the influence of the curse. I am very curious about it. After I finish this exploration in the nightmare land, I will take time to go and meet you.

If you can understand and accept this power from death, then I would be happy to share it with you.

As for his invitation.

You might as well say yes.

Although he is in darkness and his heart is in darkness, this does not prevent him from doing good things for the world. I can assure you that your student Blake Shaw is a partner in justice.

Of course, that doesn't stop him from being really annoying. "
