Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Vereesa Windrunner, the third sister of the Windrunner family, is the fairest-skinned of all Windrunner’s mother’s children, and the one who lives the most comfortable life.

She has two older sisters to pamper her, and a younger brother to bully.

He has almost no worries in his life. He is innocent and has a lively personality. His current rank is captain in the Farstrider Legion. He should have a wonderful life.

But like all Windrunners, her life changed dramatically after General Lyresa died in battle.

This time coming to Dalaran with the Quel'dorei delegation is the most direct manifestation of this change. She hopes to share some of the pressure on her eldest and second sisters, and also hopes to take responsibility for the family.

But she never imagined that her journey to Dalaran would begin with a chase and being chased.

What's worse is that this high-ranking ranger never thought that she would be the "hunted" party.

The same thought also echoed in the hearts of her friends, as well as the talented elf girl assassin who was evading the pursuit with her at this time, the potential rising star of the Sangunar family, Valeela Sangunar.

But unlike Vereesa, who was still quick to move, this female elf assassin, who wore a bright red tight-fitting suit that made it easier to move, would be in a very awkward situation.

"He's behind?"

"No, I feel like he's in front."

There seemed to be small-scale battles happening all over Dalaran under the moonlight. While passing through a small battlefield between MI7 and rebel assassins, the two girls had a brief and meaningless exchange.

Vereesa was holding a war bow with an arrow on the bow string. She always maintained the most convenient posture for drawing the bow and maximized her hunting sense, but she still could not capture the aura of the "ghost tracker".

Her sharp ears were constantly moving, trying to discern danger through sound.

Behind her, Valeera, who was hiding in the shadows, held her strange-shaped magic emerald dagger in one hand, and she and Vereesa were back to back, forming a standard two-person combat team.

She was also vigilantly sensing her surroundings, relying on the secret assassin skills of the Sangunar family to carefully sense any waves of shadow vibration around her.

The harsh upbringing she received from an early age taught her that any assassin will resonate with the shadow as he moves in and out of it.

Even the most powerful assassin will leave behind this perceptible trait.

The reason why the Sangunar family is called the "Fearers" in awe by their peers is because the blood of shadow flowing in their bodies makes it easier for all the assassins of this family to capture the vibrations of the shadows than others, and Take advantage of it in turn.

The Sangunars are simply the natural enemies of the Assassins.

"We can't stay here."

Vereesa's breathing became a little faster, and she whispered:

"We crossed eleven blocks but still couldn't get rid of him. He only launched one attack and almost defeated us. We can't deal with this guy. Maybe we should move in the direction of your elders.

Only a master can deal with a master. "

"He took my dagger away and I could feel the magic on my dagger."

Valeela was not so pessimistic.

She whispered to Vereesa:

"He is nearby. Although the ghostly concealment is difficult to deal with, as long as he approaches us and attacks, I can sense it. Perhaps, we can set a trap."

"Yes, a very smart method. But the prerequisite is that you have a correct understanding of your own strength."

Black's voice suddenly sounded next to the two beautiful elf girls. His hand maliciously grabbed the sharp left ears of Vereesa and Valeera, and pulled them upwards.

The attack caused both girls to scream simultaneously.

"Also, do you really think you can sense my attack? Little girl from the Sangunar family."

Amid Blake's sneer, Valeera tried to fight back and just stabbed her left hand out, but Blake grabbed her wrist and gently swung it outward, and the only remaining dagger was disarmed.

The girl lost her balance again when the pirate gave her a hard push, and fell to the ground in the same awkward situation as the little girl when she was playing, but her basic skills were really solid.

When he fell, he raised his astonishingly long left leg and swept it like a sickle towards Blake, who was invisible in the moonlight.

but

"ah!"

As Vereesa screamed, Valeera's left foot was grabbed by Black as she launched the attack. Her slender body was swung by the pirate like a war hammer. After spinning twice, it hit Wen who was aiming hard. On Lesa.

The two girls rolled down in a heap, and when they were getting up in embarrassment, they heard the stinky pirate's sarcasm again.

"In this kind of close combat situation, you still use sniper arrows that need to be charged? Vereesa, I am beginning to doubt whether your Windrunner bloodline is pure.

Your reaction to a battle is even worse than your brother's. "

"boom"

Valeera stood up with Vereesa in her arms, throwing down three Elf Smoke Bombs.

The moment the finely crafted smoke bomb was activated, a large cloud of dazzling light and smoke erupted in place, giving the two girls the best chance to escape.

Blake under the moonlight did not choose to pursue.

The chase just now allowed him to figure out the strength of these two beautiful elf girls. Valeela should be stronger, but Vereesa is not very weak either. They are both at the advanced stage of their respective professions.

But he is still a little far away from becoming a legend.

This is normal. According to the standards of elves, their age is still "underage". With this strength, they are already very good.

Their biggest problem is lack of experience.

This does not mean combat experience. These two girls have seen blood. Judging from their indifference in killing the rebellious assassin just now, it can be seen that they are very experienced warriors.

The lack of experience Black mentioned refers to their lack of actual combat experience with masters of legendary power, and their mentality when they are at a disadvantage is not very good.

Moreover, the evil-minded pirate also knows a "deadly secret" of the Sangunar family.

He jumped lightly from the moonlight to the eaves of the mage tower next to him. He climbed as nimbly as a monkey. He quickly climbed up to the high place. He didn't need to use his eyes to patrol in the night. He could sense the location of the hunter's mark he left behind only with his blind sense. .

The two girls already understood the current situation. They could not be the pirates' opponents, so they adopted a decisive strategy and retreated towards the gathering place of elves.

There should be a conservative estimate of more than five legends there.

"We haven't decided a 'winner' yet in our battle. Are you two little peeps trying to run away now?"

Blake took off the dark war bow behind him, and casually pulled out an Elf magic-bound arrow from the quiver. He aimed it slightly like a sniper arrow. A shadow covered the arrow. After counting five times, the arrow flew out of the bowstring.

Its kinetic energy was so great that it brought up a gust of wind when it rotated at high speed. It spanned a distance of hundreds of yards in an instant, and when Vereesa and Valeera crossed a street corner, it accurately nailed the wall next to them.

"Buzz"

The binding power of the blue arcane burst trapped the two girls in place at the same time, making it difficult for them to move. Valeela reacted very quickly, instantly cast the Shadow Cloak, and jumped back into the shadows.

Vereesa didn't have this skill. She chose to activate the ranger's turtle guardian, which was exactly the same as Sylvanas's reaction when faced with threats.

Blake shook his head as he watched, raised his left hand, and waved downwards fiercely.

"Ouch"

The illusory giant bear jumped out of the shadow in front of Windrunner's third sister, roaring and waving its palm. Under the weak point attack indicated by the killing order, the slap with soul shock hit the natural shield in front of Vereesa.

Kinetic energy is exempted by forces of nature.

However, the third sister was still dizzy from the soul shock. The bow in her hand was knocked away by the giant bear, and her petite body was pinned to the ground by the violent bear.

Valeela was very loyal and wanted to help her companions.

She emerged from the shadow, rode on the back of the big bear, and used the glove of her spare weapon to hit the big bear's ears and neck hard, giving Vereesa time to escape.

But the problem is that the stinky pirates have more than one beast of war.

"Ouch~"

Amidst a certain joyful wolf howl, the evil-minded big wolf launched a surprise attack from behind Valeela according to his hunting habits. His sharp claws instantly tore open the genius girl's tight-fitting armor, and engulfed her white back. Leaving bloody scars.

The force of the impact threw her to the ground, and she was faced with a big mouth full of sharp teeth biting down on Valeera's neck.

pill!

"boom"

At the fatal moment, a fireball of molten lava slammed in from outside the corner of the street. When it hit the ground, it splashed a ring of scorching fire, forcing the bear and wolf back.

Of course, the two ferocious soul beasts did not give up. They just made a slight adjustment and were about to attack again. However, the order from the wilderness contract made them quickly put away their desire to attack.

With a slightly dissatisfied howl, he retreated into the hiding place where his soul walks.

"Whoosh"

The light of the teleportation spell lit up next to the injured Vereesa and Valeera, and the prince's attendant, the high-level arcanist Lana'thel, holding the Sunfire Staff, came to the rescue.

She was just about to pull Vereesa up from the ground when she heard the warning from the weak Windrunner Third Sister:

"He's still here, run! Find His Highness the Prince."

"Yes, I'm still here."

The pirate's cold voice sounded behind the arcanist along with Vereesa's warning, and at the same time, a precise banishment spell appeared.

Lannathel's magic shield was not activated at all, but she was expelled from the real dimension in an instant and entered the role of a "battlefield bystander".

I could only watch helplessly as a guy in a heavy cloak appeared from under the moonlight, stepped on Valeela's ankle, raised his left hand, and applied a vicious magic power to the injured assassin girl.

Logically speaking, the warlock magic of magic absorption can only be effective on enemies with magic power, but Valeera, the assassin, is an exception.

The moment the magic power extraction took effect, the poor girl let out a painful cry.

"Shadow Blood can sense the vibration of shadows and the flow of magic power. It is such a powerful talent that makes me a little jealous. But unfortunately, when receiving the talent, all Sangunars were also cursed. .

The magic addiction within you runs deeper than that of ordinary Quel'dorei.

Well, the demon-addicted assassin is a perfect satire. "

Black continued to absorb magic power with his left hand, raised his right hand and threw a fear spell at Vereesa who was rushing towards her, causing the third Windrunner sister to squat on the spot with her head in her hands and tremble.

He looked at the ferocious and painful Valeela at his feet. This beautiful girl was not "beautiful" at all now. Black had seen enough of the pain of addiction in Suramar.

He did not continue to torture Valeera.

After a little punishment, he interrupted the spellcasting, and then looked back at Lana Thel, who used the concussive torrent of arcane magic to shatter the banishment spell and return to the material world.

A smile appeared under the pirate mask, and then it was hidden in the moonlight.

The arcanist raised her hand to gather her magic power to issue a warning, but the cold light that appeared in front of her made her immediately jump away with a flash. Unexpectedly, the burning dagger stabbed her fiercely from behind, breaking the magic shield with one blow.

Lannathel's expression immediately turned ugly.

Five minutes later, the legendary elf warrior Salorian Morningseeker hurried over carrying the ancient dragon-forged blade. What he saw were three talented beautiful girls hanging with ropes in bad postures on the street corner.

They were all knocked unconscious.

All the magic items on his body were looted, and he looked quite miserable.

There is also a hanging note under Lannathel's towering chest.

The elf warrior took it off and looked at it. On it, he wrote something unclear and powerful in the most elegant Salas characters: "This is a return gift from Jin Xiqin.

She is doing well in her new home.

Don’t read it. "

——

"So, let me think about it for a moment, how did things develop tonight like this?"

In a mage tower in the elves gathering area, the incomparably handsome Prince Kael'thas, wearing a luxurious nightgown, was holding a cup of elven black tea, rubbing his forehead, and said to the pirate sitting opposite him:

"So, is this a response to my father's less than appropriate behavior?"

"No, I just have to find a way to get rid of His Highness the Prince's guards so that I can happily come here tonight to satisfy His Highness's desire to meet me and collect the rewards I deserve."

Blake spread his arms and said honestly:

"Quel'Delar in the hands of Salorian Morningseeker has the unique effect of the 'mirror of the soul'. No assassin can get past his defense. Although I am very confident, I don't think I belong to His Excellency the Morningseeker. opponent.

But it’s not my style to visit you honestly, so I can only aggrieve you three ‘rising stars’ of Quel’dorei. "

"Although what you said is logical, I feel that this is a personal grudge."

Kael'thas shook his head and said in a gentle tone:

"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this, Mr. Pirate. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me. I'm not someone who can't listen to opinions."

"On the contrary, I think your biggest problem, Your Highness, is that you are too 'good' at listening to opinions."

Blake pouted and said:

"You always try to please everyone, but being a little more arbitrary every now and then will make you a better prince. But I'm not an elf, and it has nothing to do with me.

Let us finish this matter quickly before Lord Morningseeker senses the problem and comes back to catch me.

Come, open your rare collection and let me open my eyes. "
