Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1516 149. Night Banquet · Lich King Limited Edition - Monthly Pass Plus Update [325]

   "I thought you weren't coming."

In a valley in the Eversong Forest from Quel'Thalas to the territory of the human kingdom, Blake, who was admiring the sunrise on the hillside, pretended to wear a black elf cloak and carried a Solidar war bow. Disguised as a Ranger.

   But unfortunately, the cloak-like veil of shadow that this guy floats even in the sunlight symbolizes his identity.

   An assassin.

   or the point of view of literature and art, it is called Dark Night Walker.

   He turned his back to the shadow in the forest behind him, held his own jug in his hand, and said in a dashing manner with his back to the visitor:

   "I also thought that if you don't send people, I will sell this precious soul to those shameless warlocks who covet her."

   "After receiving the news that the Nightborne and Quel'dorei were fighting, we dispatched people as soon as possible, but the journey was long and we lacked the support of official forces, so we couldn't even use the portal tactics."

  In the forest behind the pirates, Ilysana Ravenkes, also wearing an elf cloak, and her boyfriend Marris Demon Calamity walked out silently.

   The eldest lady of the Ravencasse family explained in a low voice:

   "And at a time when a Lich King has just been born in the Eastern Continent, there is no doubt that the resurrected undead walking around will cause unnecessary panic.

  Father realized this and sent me to collect precious souls. "

   "Tsk tsk, it's really not good for death knights to run around in the Eastern Continent, but it's hard for me to understand Lord Ravencrest's brain circuit. Wouldn't the two blind elves with tattoos swagger around the city not attract attention?"

  Blake said with a vicious tongue:

   "Look at the looks of the two of you, even if you are thrown into Silvermoon City, you will be recognized as soon as possible, but it is not the low-keyness that a secret agent should have.

  So, are you two here to carry out the **** mission of the Black Ravens? Or find an excuse to go on a honeymoon? "

   "Please don't doubt our sincerity."

  Ilisana knew how poisonous Blake's mouth was, she didn't try to explain, she just didn't plan to continue this **** topic.

   But just as the blind Illidari tried to get close to Black, he was almost bitten off by the barking of the two-headed Gargon hound lying at the feet of the pirates.

"What is this?"

  Ilisana pulled out the Moon Blade with a snort.

   She was vigilantly aware of the two strange auras that suddenly appeared in front of her. Just now, her hunter's perception clearly told her that they were two strange but unremarkable stones.

   How did this suddenly "live"?

   "Ha, this is the baby I specially found to scare you!"

  Black saw that the two Illidari veterans were successfully frightened by the Galgon Hound, he clapped his hands very happily, and said meanly:

   "Now you know the danger of poking your eyes out? Your hunter perception is not invincible. I have taught you a lesson with practical teaching. No matter what you do in the future, you must stay away from those strange things.

  This world is getting more and more dangerous, and your perception can't save you from danger like before.

   Think about it, how many sculptures do you perceive in the woods when you walk through the forest? Tsk tsk, it is no exaggeration to say that you 'best hunters' just walked on the edge of hell.

   For the sake of teaching you another lesson, I think you should pay me the teaching fee, and it doesn't need to be too much, a hundred demon soul stones are enough. "

   "No money."

  Maris Demon Calamity put away the moon blade, spread out his hands, and said:

   "Lord Illidan is training a large number of demon hunter recruits in the Dark Temple. All the soul stones we seized in Draenor must be turned in, and that stuff is now a strategic material.

   But the powerful demons in that small world were almost killed by us, and Lord Illidan was even considering sending a group of recruits back to Azeroth for hunting training.

   We can already be sure that there are already a large number of demon spies hiding in various forces at present.

   This is also the reason why I accompanied Ilisana back to Azeroth, Master Black, I bring you a request from Lord Illidan, who needs to borrow the channel of the Uncrowned to help recruits quickly enter their respective war zones. "

   "Yo, this is to grab business!"

   Black said in a bad tone:

   "The warlock students in my academy are now catching demons in various forces to practice their vision, you guys are about to come and intervene. Uh, but this is not a bad thing.

It happened before that the demon's disguise was exposed by the warlock, but the weak chicken warlock couldn't beat the demon and was almost killed. I might consider pairing my disciples with your recruits to form a real 'magic hunting group' '.

  The warlock is responsible for finding, and the demon hunter is responsible for killing.

  If you really can't find a demon, my warlocks can help you summon demons from the Twisting Nether for you to kill.

  Tsk tsk, this 'homegrown' model is awesome. "

   Having said this, the smelly pirate raised **** and said:

   "Then, every time a demon is found and killed, the Illidari needs to pay me two hundred gold coins, which can be replaced by soul stones. Do you accept this condition?"

  Blake's outrageous words made Maris instantly stunned. The demon hunter with a more lively personality exclaimed:

   "Dude! We'll do your work for you, and we'll pay you in return? What's that **** pirate joke you just invented?"

   "Hey! Don't be ignorant!"

  The smelly pirate crossed his hips and said very unhappily:

   "I have generously offered you a job, and only charged so little for the labor fee. You are not grateful to Dade, but you still want to ask me for wages?

  I said, you elves and blind people are really going too far. "

   "If Lord Illidan was here, he would definitely bring up the Warblade of Azzinoth and slash you twice."

   Maris complained, but didn't say any more.

   He knew that when it comes to playing tricks, the entire Illidari would be ruthlessly suppressed by Black.

   This guy is the king of the mouth gun world, the bragging **** of destruction, and the supreme **** of ridicule.

   He's definitely good at making people angry.

  Ilisana did not intervene in this problem of ruining all three views. She carefully bypassed the two Galgon hounds that had been reincarnated as stone statues and took over Elisande's soul stone from Black.

   But the eldest lady of the Ravencasse family quickly frowned, and she threw the wailing and screaming soul stone up and down, saying:

   "How come there is only a soul? What about her body?"

"Uh"

  Blake whistled a little embarrassedly and said:

"How should I put it, when I executed her, I was a little too hard, and the excess fel energy filled the flesh and it was blown to pieces. I originally thought that with the skills of the stitching masters of the Black Crow Knights, I should be able to cut off those stumps. The arms are sewn up.

   But after repeated confirmation by a senior psychic friend of mine, he told me that it was too broken to sew.

   So only this soul survives.

   But that doesn't matter, right? "

  The smelly pirate grinned and said:

   "Liches don't need flesh and blood. My Dean Blue Moon completed the ascension ritual with a spirit body. For ruthless liches, troublesome flesh and blood will only affect the speed at which they throw death and wither.

   Besides, I know that the Black Ravens keep some 'spare bodies'.

  If Lord Ravencrest really needs it, he can completely find a new body for Lady Elisande, the Raven Lich. This is not difficult, right?

   If you pursue fresh flesh and blood, it is even easier. "

   Black said in a low voice:

   "I know how cruel the training of demon hunters is. It's not a waste to find a beautiful one among your eliminated elves.

  I just don’t know which one Lord Ravencasse likes?

   Are you tall? Or fierce?

still"

"enough!"

Ilisana really couldn't stand the mental attack of this stinky pirate's foul language. She put the soul stone named by her father in her pocket with a straight face. She really didn't plan to stay here any longer. leave.

   "Hey, you two."

   Watching the pair of Illidari mandarins leave, Blake suddenly reminded:

   "Don't take Stratholme when you go back, take a detour instead."

"why?"

   Maris asked in surprise:

   "That's the shortest route, what's going to happen there recently?"

   "Not recently."

  Black took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and said:

   "Just tonight!

  The dreadful Lich King set a banquet there, and invited the kings to feast.

   It is not that you are worried about the safety of the two of you, but that you are holding Elisande's soul, and it is likely that you will be targeted by the insatiable Frostmourne.

  The Lich King cherishes his black-bellied sword girl very much. If Frostmourne insists, I am afraid that you will not be able to safely take this soul stone away.

   It's even possible that even your own two fel-smelling pungent souls could be a treat for Frostmourne.

   By the way, by the way, I will bring a message to Lord Ravencrest for my current allegiance to His Majesty.

  Queen Azshara wanted to find a chance to chat with her former imperial lord about restoring the glory of the empire. She was such a wise and broad-minded ruler that she did not exclude a group of the dead from entering her empire.

   She even said that as long as Lord Ravencrest is willing to re-recognize the existence of the Empire, she can treat the rebellion 10,000 years ago as just a game between monarchs and ministers. "

   "It was originally her fault!"

   At the mention of Azshara, Ilisana was immediately excited, and she shouted:

   "My father died at the hands of the assassins she dispatched. It is absolutely impossible for my father to have any connection with that tyrant! Let her die!"

   "Well, young man, don't make decisions for your older father!"

  Blakela shook his head in a long voice and said:

   "Take my words back, I believe that Lord Ravencrest has his own thinking. You must know that not all the high elves who sank into the sea with the Queen were transformed into Naga.

   As far as I know, there are still a considerable number of drowned ghosts in the ruins of the city on the edge of Nazjatar.

The Queen    allows them to continue to exist on her own territory, but she also has no good way to arrange these unwilling souls.

   This wave belongs to what everyone needs.

   And what the Queen needs is nothing more than nominal allegiance.

  I believe that after your father made an oath of eternal war against the demons, he had a clearer understanding of the past grudges.

   I can say these words for my sire here, and I can confidently predict that High Lord Kurtalos Ravencrest will become Queen Azshara's 'loyal servant' again in the future. "

  The stinky pirate's words made Ilisana silent, and after a few seconds, the eldest lady of the Ravencase family said helplessly:

   "Why would someone like you serve Azshara? What did the Queen do to convince you? Are all those terrible rumors true?

  Have you become the queen's only male pet for ten thousand years?

   Are you really conquered by Azshara's supreme style? Do you really like scary tentacles? "

"Um?"

  Blake's eyes widened immediately, and he scolded angrily:

   "Damn! Enough of these vicious lower body rumors! Her Majesty and I are innocent, I haven't even touched her hand, **** it! Tell me, where did these vicious rumors come from?

  I will tear their mouths apart!

  The pirates under my command, though broken-mouthed, did not have the guts to continue making up vicious jokes about me after the brutal naval battle of Quel'Thalas.

   Are those **** goblins?

Hello!

   You two!

  Don't run, tell me what you said!

   Run again and I'll let the dog go!

   Don't think that this is the end of the matter, it was originally a groundless thing, you have to tell it again, if Queen Azshara misunderstands in the future, you will be responsible!

  My swarm is in Draenor, you can run away from the monks but not the temple!

  You wait for me! "

—

At the same time that Black was incompetent and furious because of the damaged reputation, in the area of ​​Stratholme bordering Quel'Thalas, to be precise, in an elf barracks called Quel'lings Hut, where the Lich King was. stay at.

   The local elf rangers have been "politely" invited out of the camp by the death knights, and the old ranger lord stationed here, Lord Hawksbill, known as the "King of Rangers", did not try to resist.

   He had previously received an order from General Silvermoon, requiring him not to have any conflict with His Majesty Lothar, and to try his best to meet the needs of the Lich King.

  Because of the next "King's Council", the Sun King himself will also participate.

  Lothar's messenger has sent the Lich King's invitation to every king's palace, and even Gilneas, who is currently in seclusion, has received a letter.

  Although it is still early before the start of the talks scheduled for the night, the kings of various countries basically arrive early.

   And except for the Knights of the Silver Hand who came here to symbolize "peacekeeping", the scene of the king's trip this time was very "simple".

  The majesty of His Majesty Lothar has been fully proven, and no amount of mortal armies is worthwhile before him.

  Since it doesn't make sense, then simply don't bring it.

   Of course, each king has his own powerful followers, such as Uther and old Fordring beside King Terenas, such as the four royal red-robed assassins beside His Majesty Auriden, King of Alterac.

   Another example is the captain of the Royal Guard next to Queen Mia Greymane, Old Jean the Chosen of Goldrinn.

   Dalaran city-state sent Krasus, the current leader of the Council of Six, as a representative. This red dragon had no guards, but little Jaina appeared beside him as the second representative.

  Dai Lin, a king who is very capable of fighting, did not bring guards, but he brought his two wives, and Mrs. Catherine, who had been "cultivating from illness" for more than half a year, also attended in a queen dress.

   The only one who is more embarrassed is the representative of Stormwind Kingdom.

   Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon looked gloomy, and the missing His Majesty Varian has not been found. He almost mobilized all the power of spellcasters in the entire northern border, but his king just disappeared like that

  No one knew where he went.

   "Don't worry, Bolvar, Varian will be fine."

   Dai Lin, who was still recovering from her injuries, comforted:

   "The child is being watched by many people, and there are people in the Hall of Valor who are paying attention to him. If he is really in danger, there will definitely be powerful forces to help him."

   "I just think he's a little too irresponsible!"

  The Grand Duke said angrily:

   "A king who has to do what a reckless warrior would do, this time he is really disappointing!"

   "Duke Bolvar, Your Majesty has appeared!"

   Just when the grand duke was about to utter a few words, Shaw, who suddenly appeared, brought a piece of joyful news. He said to the grand duke:

   "The Farstrider Legion just sent a message. At the edge of Eversong Forest, they found His Majesty Varian who was walking through the jungle alone. Lady Vereesa of the Windrunner family was escorting His Majesty to Stratholme in person."

   "Quel'Thalas?"

  The Grand Duke said in surprise:

   "Where did he go?"

"because."

  Shore looked left and right, then glanced at Dai Lin, he hesitated, and said softly:

   "His Majesty said he encountered a miraculous 'revelation'."

   "Alas, I know faith is important, but Varian seems to be getting a little crazy."

  Dai Lin thought it was an artistic statement, and immediately sighed, but then Shaw shook his head and said seriously:

   "No, the Grand Duke and His Majesty Daelin, this time is a real revelation. His Majesty has passed the mysterious test, and he has taken back the Sword of Stromka Emperor!"

"What did you say!?"
