Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Time flies and three days have passed.

As this morning approached, the entire Royal City of Lordaeron became lively. Everyone in the city knew that today was the wedding day of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Lord Davar.

Although most people in the city do not have the opportunity to enter the royal city to watch the ceremony, this does not prevent people from sharing the joy brought by this beautiful event.

Especially since the Presto family has generously prepared bread distribution stalls on every street in the city. As long as they participate in the parade specially held for the wedding of the lord and the princess, every household can receive free bread. .

Who doesn’t like free prostitution stuff?

After the sun comes out, the whole city turns into a sea of ​​joy.

Everywhere there were civilians loudly praising Lord Davar. They were organized, went around the royal city, and cheered loudly. The upper-class people in the royal city also felt the festive excitement of "having fun with the people."

No matter what the people who are qualified to be invited into the palace think in their hearts, at least they look honored on the surface.

But there are also people who don’t give face at all.

For example, our stinky pirate sir, made a stinking face early in the morning, and was urged several times by Little Star, Jaina, Shore, and Nathanos before he slowly got into his new carriage. Dress up.

He said he wanted to change clothes, but as soon as he entered, there was no movement.

Ten minutes later, the Lordaeron Ranger General, who was serving as the guard of the palace ceremony today, couldn't bear it any longer.

Nathanos, who was wearing gorgeous and handsome ceremonial armor, pushed open the carriage door and saw Blake sitting at the desk of the magic carriage.

The guy's dress was half changed, his shirt was unbuttoned, and he was addicted to that damn book again.

For the past three days, Blake had been almost obsessed with studying this warlock's grimoire that he didn't know where it came from. He was full of energy and didn't get much rest for three days. At the end of this obsession, Nathanos was a little stunned.

Immersed in the new magic, Black didn't look like a pirate who did all kinds of evil at all. He looked exactly like the studious mage apprentices Nathanos had seen in Dalaran who studied all night.

"Damn it! Everyone is waiting for you. When will this crappy magic work? Sooner or later, your crappy book will be burned!"

Maris cursed, stepped forward to grab the dress jacket that the pirate had put aside, and was about to put it on him, but Blake reached out to stop him.

The stinky pirate said without raising his head:

"Give me another two minutes. This mana model is about to be analyzed. It only needs the last few nodes. I may have underestimated the warlocks of the Shadow Council before. These guys occasionally have some fantastic ideas.

It's a pity that they don't have enough basic magic knowledge to complete this idea, so they can only leave the good ideas on paper.

I'm almost done with this idea, give me some more time. "

"The kings are all on stage, and the Pope is about to give a speech. You are the representative of Narsalas College. If you are late for this kind of occasion that brings together almost half of the human civilization's dignitaries, be careful of your etiquette-minded Blue Moon. The dean gives it to you"

"Make them wait! I'm busy!"

Maris still wanted to persuade, but was unable to continue due to Blake's impatient scolding. After a few seconds, the pirate changed his tone and said briefly:

"No, my brother, rather than missing a boring wedding, the dean will be ecstatic when she sees this new magic that I have completed.

And will reward me for acquiring new knowledge.

We are spell casters, this is our job, it is about to be completed, please wait a moment. This will be the first warlock magic deduction that I have completed independently in the true sense.

This will be another landmark work of the Narthalas Warlock School, and it will become my ‘graduation certificate’, which is relied upon to advance to the elite level of the Warlock Way! "

Blake had already talked nonsense like this, and Maris couldn't push him any further.

On the contrary, he became interested.

Seeing how Blake was bragging so much, he also wanted to see what kind of shocking "milestone" magic the pirates could come up with after three days of research.

"Captain, what are you doing! Captain."

Two minutes later, an angry little Xingxing also pushed open the door and rushed in.

She was dressed up today and was preparing to make her "grand entrance," but because of Blake's delay, she was never able to officially enter the wedding venue.

"It's time to cut the cake outside. I don't want to miss that big cake, you stinky senior! Get up quickly! Hurry up. Huh? I've never seen this mana model before!

The arrangement of these nine nodes is a bit interesting. It seems to be a combination of 'energy enhancement'? "

The angry little Xingxing rushed over and wanted to catch the stinky captain out. However, he ran over and took a look, and was attracted by the complicated mana model drawn on the drawing paper in front of Blake.

She asked, and the pirate replied without raising his head:

"No, it's the alienation compound rune I designed the night before yesterday, and the effect was modified to 'evil energy infusion'."

"You can actually design your own alienation runes? Yes, Captain, it seems that you have learned the 'Arcane Knowledge Advancement' very quickly.

This is considered a good teaching by me.

a ha ha ha. "

She exclaimed several times in succession, and exchanged a few words with Blake using very professional terminology that Nathanos could not understand at all. She became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, and finally she simply pulled up a chair.

Sitting next to the senior, he summoned his magic pen and started to help the captain calculate the very complicated mana model with his eyes shining.

"You guys"

Nathanos also hoped that Little Xingxing would come over to persuade him, but when he saw the situation in front of him, he was immediately overwhelmed.

"Why are you still standing there?"

While rubbing his forehead and thinking about the design of the last node, Blake turned back to Maris who was standing there and said:

"Help!"

"Ah? Can I help with this kind of magic-related thing?"

The Ranger General's eyes widened for a moment. Could it be that he had some magical talent that he hadn't discovered yet?

It turns out that he thought too much.

"Of course you can help, don't underestimate yourself, my brother. Go and guard the door. There may be some evil energy emanating from the experiment later.

Don't let anyone else get close, especially those pesky mages.

When asked, he said that this was the warlock school of Narthalas Academy, preparing precious gifts from the Twisting Void for newcomers. "

Blake waved his hand and gave an order. The posture made Maris want to pull out his Gronn Beast Bone War Spear and give him a salty fish thrust, but in the end he gritted his teeth and turned around and walked out.

Before leaving, I didn’t forget to remind you:

"Well, you two hurry up, the wedding will start soon."

"I know, you weren't such a mother-in-law before. It seems that Sylvanas really broke my brother's heart and turned you into a sissy.

I will definitely cause trouble for her in the future! "

Blake waved his hand impatiently, and Maris gave him a very rude gesture, adjusted his armor, opened the door and walked out.

"Captain, the number of path runes at the third connection point of the central trunk of the mana model is not enough. It needs to be increased to 18! Otherwise, it will not be able to support the subsequent flow of mana."

"18? That's too exaggerated! Adding one-third of the runes will double the magic power consumption. I've calculated it three times, and 12 runes are strong enough."

"For elemental magic, 12 path runes are certainly enough, but now you have to convert arcane magic into more corrosive evil energy, and this strength is not enough.

Were you sleeping when Tutor Deliana was giving runes lessons?

If she sees this stupid mistake, she will scold you again. "

"Well, I didn't think about the problem of property conversion, but if 6 more pathway runes are added, the magic power required to release this magic will be too large, and it is basically impossible to achieve a constant effect."

"Ha, Captain, you really dare to think! Before the first test of this new magic was successful, you wanted to make it a permanent effect. If the dean knew about it, he would definitely say that you are too ambitious.

Let’s make it a temporary enhancement first.

Judging from the effect of the current mana model, it should be able to last at least one battle. "

"Well, okay, let me modify the main body of the model. This will make it easier."

In the carriage, Blake and Little Star exchanged words with each other and quickly finalized the modification plan for the new magic.

Behind them, little Gianna ran up from nowhere and covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound, so as not to disturb the near-perfect cooperation in front of her.

Alsace beside her frowned, looking at the mana model diagram in front of her that looked like a ghostly drawing.

He couldn't understand it at all.

This is normal.

Although Paladins can also cast spells, they do not need to learn these professional magic knowledge. They use the magic given by the Holy Light.

As long as their faith is sincere enough and they can perceive the Holy Light, and then undergo training from their mentors and seniors, they can master the ability to release divine magic.

"You better hurry up, the wedding ceremony will start in half an hour."

The little prince couldn't help but say something.

As a result, he was glared at by Blake, Little Star and Little Gianna at the same time. The pirate did not forget to put a Nightborne magic ball mask on his face, covering his entire face.

"When our noble masters and masters are talking, why do you, a fake movie king of Holy Light who has not practiced at home, interrupt?"

The pirate said fiercely:

"Don't think that the Holy Shield can protect you, little guy. As a warlock, I have at least seven ways to bypass the Holy Shield and kill you! Shut up! Stay quiet, keep your eyes open, and watch carefully!

Here is the moment to witness the miracle. "

As he spoke, Blake gently raised his hand, and magic power surged from his fingers, levitating the magic drawing paper in front of him. First, he snapped his fingers, and a small evil energy portal opened.

Dagrop, the little ghost riding a hell hound, rushed out of the rotating evil energy portal. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the drawing of the mana model suspended next to Blake.

This cunning guy suddenly remembered the bad experience before, and immediately turned around and ran away.

"Don't run! It's a good thing this time."

Blake said without looking back.

The kid shuddered, a painful smile appeared on his ugly face, he jumped down from his "car" honestly, and stood in front of his master with his legs shaking.

"Hold on."

The pirate took out the "enhanced" Skull of Gul'dan and held it in his hand.

Holding a large ball of condensed shadow magic in his hand, he used his other finger to strictly follow the structure of the magic model and use magic power to quickly draw complex lines in the air.

He learned from the elf's elegant and precise spell-casting posture, which made little Jaina admire her, and made little Arthas next to her curl her lips in dissatisfaction.

But the little prince also had to admit that in terms of the manner in which he cast spells, Blake's skills, at least on the surface, were already more "classy" than those of a high-level spell caster than the court archmage.

"This high-level warlock's magic, I call it the 'Spell of Control'."

The pirate taught a lesson like a tutor, and said softly to the serious-looking little Xingxing and little Gianna beside him:

"It originated from the wild idea of ​​an unlucky orc warlock who died from a dragon's mouth. That guy was a talent, but it was a pity that there was no room for him to develop in Gul'dan's Shadow Council.

what a pity.

However, I made up for this regret for him. The effect of this magic is very single. It uses powerful external magic power to temporarily strengthen the warlock's summons, causing them to enter a more powerful demonic posture in a short period of time.

Like this! "

The pirate stretched his fingers forward, and the cumbersome mana model in front of him was injected with magic power. In the blowing wind, the magic ray hit the devil imp Daglop in front of him with his eyes closed.

The latter suddenly let out a scream of pain.

It was like a knife was going to pierce it.

But soon, the kid's screams turned into screams of surprise, and powerful magic was poured into its small body, causing the guy to expand like a balloon.

Although it is still small, its appearance has not changed much.

But the looming flames on his body rolled thicker, as if blessed by some kind of power, making the shadow cast by the kid on the ground lengthen, becoming crazy and terrifying.

Under Blake's "Domination Spell", it "evolved" from a demon imp to a fel imp. Not only were its various talents and skills strengthened, but even its piercing howls became more evil and sharp.

"Ah, my evil master! Look at this powerful power that can be bestowed upon you. You are worthy of being the Warlock King of Azeroth!"

The evil imp will kneel down to Black in ecstasy and flattery.

The pirate was in a good mood, and casually rewarded his "mount" with a shot of "Dominance Strengthening". The thin hellhound also howled fiercely like a balloon and stretched its muscles.

There are even signs of growing a second head.

Unfortunately, Black's magic is only temporarily strengthened.

If he wants to achieve the effect of "constant control", he still needs to continue to conduct in-depth research, but the foundation has been laid, and it is only a matter of time before the goal of the project is achieved.

"Mr. Black, can this magical magic of yours be used on elemental creatures?"

Little Gianna witnessed the birth of this new magic, and she asked excitedly:

"My mentor recently asked me to try to perform the summoning ceremony of the water element, if my water element can also be strengthened by control."

"Enhanced into what? Vampire waterman?"

Blake was in a good mood now, and was even in the mood to make a weird joke. He reached out and touched Gianna's head and said:

"I can give you the mana model blueprint.

I believe that with your wisdom, you can definitely find a way to strengthen the water element without relying on others. But you are not allowed to teach it to others. I will rely on this spell to recruit students to make money in the future.

In addition, familiarity comes with familiarity, and the rules cannot be messed up.

Give me something in exchange to show your attitude of seeking knowledge from me. You're welcome, Your Highness, we are all spell casters, and we all know that knowledge is priceless, so just give it as much as you like. "
