Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"The ancient werewolf curse has reappeared in this era. This is undoubtedly the wrath of nature! Haven't you realized this yet?

It is precisely because of your depraved and decadent life and uncontrolled demands on nature that all this has happened!

This is just a warning that the disaster has begun, you still have a chance to save it! From now on, respect Mother Nature and draw a clear line between those villains who wantonly destroy nature!

Only in this way can the anger of nature be calmed.

Only in this way can the miserable Gilneas survive the wrath of nature. "

In Gilneas City, in the reception room of the king's palace, the leader of the Society of Benevolence, Archdruid Isolarius, wearing a white nature robe, waved his nature staff, talking incessantly, and looked exhausted as he spoke eloquently. Gene tells his thoughts on the werewolf curse.

He said it was "reasonable" and attributed everything to the "unhealthy" lifestyle of the Gilneans. He also assured that as long as the Gilneans are willing to accept the teachings of nature, the werewolf curse and other things can be cured without medicine. .

Well said.

If Jean hadn't known the cause and effect, he might have truly believed this nonsense.

But Gene was in an awkward position.

He was impatient to listen to the extreme conservationist ideas spread by the crazy druid in front of him, but he had to listen.

Because the great druid Omulon the Sky-roaring One made a special trip to warn Jean before leaving with the werewolf-turned-northern lord.

In his absence, if you want to track the werewolves in Gilneas and the werewolf disaster that may occur in the future, you must rely on the Rende Society who is currently staying here.

Although these extreme druids act crazy, they are indeed genuine druids.

And because they are extremely protective of the environment and wild animals and plants, and hunt those bastards who destroy the natural environment all year round, the members of the Rende Society are outstanding in nature tracking.

With their help, the werewolf hiding in the country can be found quickly.

But if possible, Jean is absolutely unwilling to cooperate with this group of lunatics. The first requirement they came to discuss cooperation with Jean is to ban hunting in Gilneas!

This simply cannot be done!

Unfortunately, the druids of other factions are either still sleeping in the Emerald Dream and unable to wake up, or they are busy with other things elsewhere and cannot come to Gilneas in large numbers.

Only one Rende Society realized the "degeneration" of the Eastern Continent and vowed to stay here forever and "help" human civilization return to the "right path" of living in harmony with nature.

They're the only pain-in-the-ass guys willing to stay in Gilneas forever.

There is really no other way.

"A nationwide hunting ban is impossible. This is no longer a question of whether I am willing or not. Even if I issue an order, the hunters who rely on hunting to support their families will not listen to me."

Jean waited until the eloquent Archdruid finished speaking, then rubbed his aching head and said to the Archdruid Isolarius who stared at him:

"Unless you can create a way for them to make money out of thin air so that they don't starve to death without hunting."

"But we have no money."

The Grand Druid of the Rendehui also looked confused. He scratched his head and said:

"We don't have to pay for it in Moonglade."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Gene spread his hands and said helplessly:

“I am a king, and I must consider issues from the perspective of my people. I cannot destroy my people’s jobs just because of an imminent disaster.

This will only make things more troublesome.

But I think you are also a reasonable person, so you might as well do it this way.

I will first implement a hunting ban policy on the border of Silver Pine Forest, that is, on the territory of Lord Darius, and see the effect. If my citizens can accept it, it will not be impossible to fully roll it out.

What do you think? "

"Uh, okay."

Isolarius rolled his eyes.

The archdruid knew that this was a "delaying tactic" being used by the king in front of him, but considering that the task of "civilizing" humans was long and arduous, and the religious group had already issued a harsh word against the Rende Society, Order of rebuke.

He also had to temper some of his enthusiasm for nature conservation.

So he borrowed a donkey to go downhill, coughed and said:

"It's not impossible to choose a pilot to let people see the benefits of caring for nature. However, you have to give us the power to walk freely within Gilneas and spread our faith in nature.

Even to hunt werewolves, we have to patrol everywhere.

Your Majesty, are you right? "

"As long as the church tolerates your private preaching, I have no problem with it."

Jean glanced at Isolarius. He picked up the government documents at hand, coughed, and said:

"But you also have to promise me that you can't just go and destroy anything you don't like like before. That's the behavior of barbarians! Don't you night elves pay attention to etiquette?

My poor garden is still in repair.

Moreover, your attack did not stop the domestic fur trade at all. On the contrary, because you burned down the warehouse, the price of fur soared this month, and many hunters began to hunt more frequently to make money.

You want to protect the environment, but your reckless actions only exacerbate environmental damage. "

"This is impossible!"

When Isolarius heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

As a result, Gene threw over a document that he had prepared a long time ago. The statistics in black and white made the Archdruid freeze on the spot, and then he said angrily:

"Look! This is proof of the depravity of you humans. For some trivial money, you treat Mother Nature's gifts as private property. It is unforgivable!

We must continue to ‘discipline’ those businessmen! until they learn"

"Unless you kill us all."

Jean coughed and said in a faint tone:

"Otherwise, you don't want to stop the Gilneans from doing business. But we humans are also part of nature. If you kill us, doesn't it mean that you are also destroying the 'gifts' of nature?

Your purpose is noble.

But there are obviously problems with the method, and I have no intention of discussing this too much with you.

I've given you the permission you need, what about the werewolf problem? "

"I have sent my companions to search the border of Silver Pine Forest."

Isolarius said in a bad tone:

"Werewolf hair was indeed found at the attack site last night. Fortunately, there was only one. Maybe the results will be available today. Let's talk about the issue of natural protection again. We want..."

"Hold on.

Catch the werewolf first and eliminate the scourge of the curse. This will allow me and my people to see the sincerity and strength of the Rende Society, and we will have the reason and basis for further cooperation. "

Jean waved his hand and said to the Archdruid:

"We Gilneans are good at business, and it's hard to convince us to invest more without seeing the return on our initial investment.

You see, Lord Archdruid, I can also be a king who is a fanatical protector of nature, provided that becoming a member of the Society of Benevolence allows me to see more benefits than maintaining the status quo.

I don’t know how you elves reconcile this contradiction, but in our human world, this is how the rules work. "

"What a depraved thought! I think your human souls should be purified first rather than your actions!"

Isolarius dropped a word angrily, turned around, and strode out of Jean's office. But he left with the document that Jean had given him, which made the king grin.

These stubborn and simple guys are not hopeless after all.

The Druids of the Rende Society were noisy and noisy, but they also knew the trouble that would arise once the werewolf curse was spread. In a sense, they were even more concerned about this matter than humans.

Although Archdruid Omulon didn't say it clearly, Jean heard him mention the name "The Alpha Wolf" last night, and Omulon seemed to be afraid of this person.

This proves that preventing the large-scale outbreak of the werewolf curse is not only in the interests of Gilneas, but also in the interests of the Kaldorei druids.

If we have the same interests, we can naturally do things together.

only

"Arugao disappeared, but the Book of Ur was recovered, but the werewolf curse and research results were torn off. They are preventing us from accessing the truth about the werewolf curse."

Jean looked at the battle report that had just been sent this morning.

The news contained therein worried the king.

He smelled something unusual from the attack on Arugao, and the truth about the northern lord being infected with the werewolf curse suddenly became confusing.

But what is certain is that this must be related to the undead pirates entrenched on Tol Barad Island.

"Master Assassin Black."

Gene took out a summary of information from the second page of the battle report. He looked at the small amount of information and squinted his eyes to think. After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said in a voice that only he could hear:

"So, is this your response to the war we initiated?"

——

"Actually, it wasn't just for that war. Although my pirate fleet lost a lot, it still brought back so many ships. Although I am a petty person, I am not that harsh."

Black, who returned to Tol Barad Island, was summoned by Dean Blue Moon upon his return.

Obviously, the dean was also very concerned about the werewolf curse. This was out of the caster's curiosity. After asking in detail about the characteristics and source of power of the werewolf creature, she also asked about the reasons for the pirates' actions.

Blake, who was sitting on the top of the mostly-renovated Elf Mage Tower, leaning against a pillar without railings, was blowing the cool summer wind while turning back to the dean and saying:

“Isn’t this for the sake of the big things to be done in the future?

Illidan's bottle of Eternal Water is hidden in Moonglade, which is the base camp of the druids. If I don't think of ways to disperse their numbers, I wouldn't dare to sneak in arrogantly.

The werewolf curse is a 'sin' that the Cenarion Order cannot ignore. Once it appears on a large scale in the eastern continent, druids will continue to come here.

They will do their best to complete the education of werewolves, which is caused by their guilt.

The druids of Val'sharah cannot move.

They want to protect more important things in that sacred natural place, and there are only so many awakened druids in this era.

If we can attract one more person here, we will have one less trouble to face when we lurk there.

Therefore, even if you, the dean, are compassionate, you still can't find a suitable reason to scold me for being crazy. This is for the benefit of the college. "

"Really?"

Dean Lanyue narrowed her eyes. After a few seconds, she shook her head and said:

"I do not believe!

Although what you said makes sense, I still think this matter is a personal grudge. You just hate the Gilneans for being involved in the matter between you and Daelin, so you want to punish them.

However, you are right.

I can't find any reason to reprimand you. If you are committing a crime, then I and the entire academy are accomplices with common interests.

Don’t talk about them anymore.

Tell us about your next plans.

We will stay in Tol Barad to build the academy, conduct research on the death knight's power system, and prepare for the enrollment of new students in September.

And you?

What are you going to do next? "

"Well, there are so many things I have to do next."

Blake clapped his fingers and said to the dean one by one:

"The Ancestral Turtles are clamoring to teach the Nagas a lesson, and the matter of the Throat of the Abyss must also be put on the agenda. Dai Lin's 'One Cavalry Against a Thousand' has proved that the broken Tide Stone alone cannot defeat Kull. Tiras people.

I have to weaken them while strengthening myself.

To do this, I had to make a trip to Kul Tiras to attend the wedding of an old friend of mine. Before that, I had to get my missing inner demon back.

Oh, right, right.

On this trip home, I will take the gnomes with me to visit the legendary 'Mechanical Kingdom' Mechagon, and ask those mechanical gnomes who hide the real 'black technology' to make me some aircraft, electromagnetic guns and so on.

In addition to these big things, there are also small things to do.

For example, the Frostwolf Orcs, such as the Red Dragon Queen, and another example.

Ravenholdt. "

At this point, the pirate shrugged and said:

"I'm really uneasy about leaving someone as dangerous as His Excellency the Duke wandering around. Now that we've all lost our skin, there's no need to pretend that the world is peaceful.

Find him, drain him, kill him.

Of course, if he gives enough, it's not like he can't be let go. "

"Then you are really busy."

Dean Lanyue nodded and commented:

"Where is your wilderness trial? Are you ready?"

"not yet."

Blake stroked his fingers and said:

"But when all these are done, you will be ready. Once the equipment is built, the strength is polished to purity, and the will is honed to perfection, then you can launch an attack on the otherworldly legendary realm.

Tsk tsk, after preparing for so long, it’s finally time to get there, I’m a little excited just thinking about it.

Mentor, you said that I could stir up such great changes when I was a mortal. Then after I become a legend, how will the world change because of me?

Will it be the change I want? "

"Whether the world will be disturbed by you, I don't know."

Dean Lanyue lowered her head and looked at the hidden tomes of Dalaran in her hand. While admiring those strange magic theories, she said:

"But I am certain that this sea will make waves again because of you. Alas, the summer of the seventh year of the Dark Portal was the most exciting summer I have ever lived in my ten thousand years.

From now on, it's better to be calm. "

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

The new legendary pirate commander, His Excellency Black Shaw, nodded solemnly, stroking the light stubble on his chin and said:

"Young people like me should learn to enjoy the fun of life, but before letting go, we should get the important things done first. Tutor, aren't you busy right now?

Come, help me catch a demon and raise it. "

The pirate touched his heart, and like a male singer singing a poem, he said playfully in the summer wind:

"This feeling of emptiness in my heart is so uncomfortable."
