Shadow Trails in Azeroth

In the captain's room, Black made a trade request that shocked the dean and Prince Faroldis. The old troll lying on the ground was stunned for a moment.

The Sky Wall and Al'Akir, aren't they all things that exist in legends and myths?

"no problem."

But in the face of Blake's outrageous request, the mysterious and powerful "djinn" stretched out his left paw, placed it in front of the pirate, and said businesslikely:

"Sending messages, acting as an intermediary, and stipulating the element contract. These services add up to a total of three thousand air coins. Bring it."

"It's not over yet."

While Blake took out the magic equipment that he couldn't use, kept throwing them into the magic lamp to extract the magic power, and replaced them with the weird air coins, he said to the element merchant:

“I would also like to ask you, the only free elemental lord at present, to go to the Throat of the Abyss again and convey the same news to ‘Tide Hunter’ Neptulon.

I can explode the elemental realms of the Maw of the Abyss and the Great Sea, but I also want the Tidehunters to grant my fleet the ability to navigate the sea. "

"This is fine, Neptulon is much easier to talk to than Al'Akir."

The honest element merchant stretched out another paw and said:

"So I'll give you two thousand more air coins."

"Don't worry, there's more!"

Blake pointed out the window and said:

"I want you to protect my island of Tol Barad so that anyone who tries to invade it will be destroyed by the storm. How many air coins do I need to buy you to protect it here for a hundred years?"

"Uh, let me do the math."

Al Abbas, wearing a strange turban, hesitated and said:

"This is the first transaction after 10,000 years of silence. Since you are so generous, I decided to give you a big discount, little bug. If it lasts 100 years, just give me 200,000 air coins. "

"Two hundred thousand?"

The pirate scratched his head and said:

"I destroyed all the equipment in my hand, and I can't get it together for a while. Can I pay in installments? Once a year, if I don't pay any more, you can leave.

This way you are free and so am I. "

"Ha, this business model is interesting. I learned something new today, which is great."

The element merchant laughed and said:

"Okay, but if I give it once a year, I won't give you a discount. Are you sure you want to calculate it this way?"

"Sure."

Under the astonished gazes of the two elves, Black destroyed a dozen or so fine magic items to collect more than five thousand air coins, which were piled in a big pile in the captain's cabin.

The old troll looked pained, even though it was not his own money.

No wonder the dark prophet Zul said that the fate of this lamp does not lie with him. It's true that he's not here. With such a terrible expense, the stingy troll and old liar can't help but feel heartbroken?

This magic lamp is indeed very powerful, but it is impossible for anyone not wealthy to use it.

Forget it, forget it, lose it.

Just go out as if you were in trouble.

"Deal done, I appreciate you, little bug."

The element merchant happily swept away the air coins in the captain's room. When it disappeared above the magic lamp, he also threw a strange coin to the pirate and said:

"This is a trading contract. With it, you can summon me anywhere, and you don't need to use my lamp to convert magic power. But remember, any service has a price. If you can't pay,

Haha, I had planned to form my own business group ten thousand years ago. Turning you from flesh and blood into elements may make you my capable subordinate.

I will protect your island from now on.

A month later, remember to pay me the first year's payment. In addition, I thought about it and felt that trading with one person at a time was too time-consuming and not proactive enough.

So if you can find me more high-quality trading partners, I can consider discounting all your transactions in the future.

Give air coins to those in need.

I will teach them how to make replicas of my magic lamp. If they can find ten of them, we will give you a 20% discount on future transactions. It’s agreed. "

After saying that, this kind-hearted yet eccentric wind element demigod turned into a gentle breeze and whimpered, disappearing into the captain's cabin.

Blake looked at the dozens of pieces of magic equipment on the table in front of him that had become a blank slate. He was so distressed that he could hardly breathe. He picked up the magic lamp that had become more beautiful, shinier, and had a higher grade, and threw it to Dean Lanyue. .

explain:

"This thing should be placed in the academy from now on. I have demonstrated how to use it on the spot. Let it be used as a toy for the students, but be sure to remind them not to try to default on it.

The wind elements are a group of moody madmen who can control the storms and lightning of the entire world. Those who want to deceive the djinn will definitely have a terrible fate.

In addition, although this guy sells everything, he must keep his eyes open.

The treasures in the eyes of elemental creatures are different from our understanding of treasures. It is very likely that after spending a lot of money, what they bought is just a pile of useless garbage.

Therefore, transactions that demand power are sure to make money without losing money.

Well, I think our college can actually consider opening a school of elemental shamanism. With this magic lamp, at least communicating with the wind element won't be a problem.

Well, what a surprise. "

"this thing"

Dean Lan Yue looked at the magic lamp in her hand and said hesitantly:

"If we really use it on a large scale, I'm afraid that the college and students will go bankrupt soon. What is the origin of this Al Abbas? Why is there still a free elemental lord in the material world nearly a million years after the establishment of the elemental realm? "

"I don't really understand its origin either."

Black picked up his dwarf pipe and said to the Dean:

"But it must have escaped the fate of being sealed during the Lord's War. Perhaps it predicted the failure of the elemental monarchs in advance, so it made preparations in advance.

He used his own elemental core to create this magical lamp, allowing it to escape capture by the Titans and continue to exist in the material world.

An elemental lord who has lived for millions of years, the knowledge in his mind and the things he has collected are absolutely astronomical.

This is a dangerous treasure trove.

There is no doubt that if you use it well, all your ‘wishes’ can come true. But strong women like Queen Azshara kept it on the shelf and rarely used it.

This has proven its dangers. "

The pirate grabbed a handful of air coins on the table, showed a bewildered smile, summoned his first mate, and handed all the air coins in his hand to her.

Then he coughed and weighed himself, and ordered:

“In the name of the Immortal Pirates, send these coins as gifts to the Relic Society, the Explorers Association, the Antiquities Dealer, and my old friend the rich man Revegaz.

They are all very good trading partners, and Al Abbas will definitely be very satisfied.

In addition, prepare ten gift boxes, each filled with coins, and send them to the Seven Human Kingdoms, the Ironforge of the dwarves, and Quel'Thalas in the name of Narthalas College.

Send these gift boxes as gifts to the desks of kings.

They are also very high-quality trading partners. "

"Captain, you are so mean."

Pirate Dragon held the air coins in her arms that were full but weightless at all. She said:

"There will definitely be a lot of greedy people going bankrupt as a result, and there may even be news about a king suddenly dying violently."

"What does that have to do with me, a pure pirate who only wants to give gifts?"

Blake blinked, showed a harmless expression, spread his hands and said:

"I just want to give good things to more people in need. I just want to make this world a little more lively. Oh, by the way, don't forget our fellow pirates who are struggling in the South China Sea.

They were suppressed too hard by the Kul Tirans.

They didn't have a way to deal with the Tide Sage before, but now, they have it.

You only need to pay a "trivial" price to offset part of the miraculous power of the sea of ​​the Tide Sages. Although it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to exert the power of the elemental wind, it is better than nothing.

Gee, I am really the ‘savior of the pirates’.

go Go.

Let them remember my kindness and let more people on the sea hear my name. They must learn to be grateful.

I remember that you also have some unused magic equipment. This time, go to Vashjir to get some more, and then ask Al Abbas to apply a 'Blessing of Wind' or something to the Naqfar. "

"receive."

Sephiel gave a pirate military salute, turned around and walked out of the captain's room and saw the little fishman standing outside the door eavesdropping. He smiled and threw an air coin to Benbolba.

The latter took it in his paw and turned it over. A bad smile appeared on the fishman's face, and he ran all the way down to the cabin.

After Grivolta saw "the world" and humbly left to find old Garni, only Black and the two Narthalas elves were left in the captain's cabin.

Prince Faroldis, who had been silent before, now asked the pirate in a serious tone:

"You just said you were going to explode the elemental realm. You were kidding, right?"

"How can this be a joke?"

Blake played with the air coin in his hand and said to Faroldis:

"I have signed the contract with Al Abbas, and I may get the elemental monarch's contract back soon. I haven't lived enough yet, and I won't joke with elemental demigods like that.

I really mean to do this, and I have a complete plan. "

"Tidestone?"

Dean Lan Yue asked back.

Blake nodded and said:

“Although I will definitely reinvent it in the future.

But now they are all broken anyway, so it won’t be a big problem if they are blown into even smaller pieces. Azshara is really wasting a good thing. If you have a complete Tidestone in your hand, why would it be so troublesome to use it?

It has the power of sea and sky, and can be used to communicate between the Throat of the Abyss and the Wall of Sky. There is no other way to connect the other two elemental planes. After all, the expertise is not suitable.

You should be able to use Khaz'goroth's Hammer.

But that thing is still there in Highmountain, and I can’t afford to offend those ‘brave bulls’ who are very capable of fighting. "

"You do great things."

Dean Lanyue sighed, hugged the magic lamp in his arms and said:

"Every time I hear you talk about your plan, I feel a sense of absurdity. Those legendary characters are used by you as tools that you can control at any time, and you don't even reach the realm of legend.

Maybe it sounds like you are bragging when you first hear it, but you do what you brag about every time.

How do you want me to evaluate you? my student. "

"For a person like him who is unwilling to be lonely, if he were born during the Elf Empire, I think Queen Azshara would also have a huge headache."

Prince Farodis also added with a smile:

"He is already causing a headache for the Queen. He is about to launch a conquest war against Vashj'ir and fight a battle with the Nagas in the sea, and he is sure he can win.

In a way, he's a terrible guy. "

"I can't help it. Who makes me such an outstanding person? Like a firefly in the dark, I always stand out. I also want to keep a low profile, but my strength doesn't allow it."

Blake held a dwarf pipe in his mouth, laughed and said something, then looked at Dean Lanyue and said:

"So, in three days, we go to Dalaran?"

"Um."

The dean stroked the magic lamp and said:

“Everything is ready.

Dalaran will greet us on the shores of Silverpine Forest, and the letter they sent also said that the Phoenix Mages of Quel'Thalas will also participate in the debate on the truth of magic.

The descendants of Dath'Remar are full of confidence, but they don't know that in my era, Dath'Remar Sunstrider was just a not-so-outstanding spellcaster.

His several visits to Nar'thalath Academy did not leave a deep impression on me, but I hope his descendants can perform well.

To be honest, I'm looking forward to this visit. "

"I am looking forward too."

The pirate stretched himself greatly and said:

"Prince Kael'thas still owes me two legendary weapons. I have to think carefully about what kind of reward I want to ask for this time. And Dalaran is destined to be turbulent.

Black dragons, elves, legendary spellcasters and warriors, the calculations of politicians, the collision of faith and belief, and the search for magical truth.

The best thing is that everything today has something to do with me.

Although few people know this truth, this feeling of writing history and manipulating history is great. "

"Are you really not going to meet your father?"

The dean asked softly:

"Perhaps there is another way to complete your salvation of your country."

"There wouldn't be another way!"

Blake blew out a smoke ring and said:

"To paraphrase an old saying, the blood of mortal kings must end with the sword, and the inheritance of Dai Lin's throne must go through a world-shaking battle.

Now, I am just barely qualified to be my old father's opponent.

But I didn’t want to show up early, spoil the big surprise, and expose my weakness so that he could laugh at my rudeness and weakness.

He was also very unhappy with me.

He hopes to see a successor who is good enough.

This is my old father’s wish.”

The pirate closed his eyes and felt the Nagfar rocking in the tide. He said:

"I will definitely fulfill his wish.

And what better way for a child to prove his excellence than to defeat his father with his own hands and destroy the kingdom he was proud of but built on a wrong foundation?

Even now, I hope that Dai Lin can be proud of the name "Drake". This is an agreement. "

"But then you'll be lonely."

Prince Farodis said with emotion:

"Loneliness can drive you crazy."

"No, that's not right."

Blake gave a long laugh and said:

"Loneliness does not mean loneliness. I have a lot to share with myself. Only a weakling who cannot rely on himself to fulfill his life will cry and beg for someone to come into his life.

A truly strong man must be accustomed to suffering. "

"You think you are a strong person?"

Dean Lanyue asked. The pirate shrugged and said as the smoke rose:

"No, I am their doomed misery."
