Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1521 154. Pirate's Graduation Ceremony - Jiagen [825]

   The Quel'rinth Hut, the ranger camp set up by the high elves on the border between Quel'Thalas and the human kingdom, is not an important place in terms of history or location.

   It is estimated that this piece of land itself does not know what it is and what it is capable of, and can witness such a historic meeting at this historic moment tonight.

   This is not only the first official communication between the living and the dead, but also the moment of rebuilding the human empire.

Maybe everything that happened tonight will be written about in the history books of later generations. Of course, it is more likely that everything that happened tonight will only be called a "great moment", and there is no redundant description for the details. .

  Historians and novelists in later generations can give full play to their imaginations and describe tonight's meeting as majestic or elegant, majestic or dark, full of glory or full of conspiracy and so on.

   But anyway, after tonight, this little place is completely famous.

   However, at least tonight, this place is not the focus of everyone's attention. There is another important thing happening on the island of Tol Barad, far away from the Quillings hut.

  The world-renowned great pirate, the pirate leader who just defeated Dai Lin and ended the era of the old man, and the legendary Blake Shaw who was destined to start a new era of naval warfare, finally ushered in the graduation ceremony he was thinking of tonight.

   This means that he can finally get rid of the days when he is buried in the books and various magical theories.

   This represents a great culmination on a new track in his life after a distinguished career in the fields of pirates, assassins and ranger hunters, and clergymen.

   This means that he finally doesn't have to be called an "inexperienced" spellcaster. Of course, as a warlock, he will still be despised by orthodox spellcasters.

   But this did not affect Blake's happy and contented mood at this time.

  His graduation ceremony was held on the viewing platform that Dean Lanyue liked most. Because it was an internal ceremony, there were not many participants. Apart from the dean himself, the sub-deans of other colleges came to join in the fun.

   There are also the trio of Little Star and the old dog licking warlock who sneaked back from the battlefield with the dean as spectators.

   Of course, the members of the Great Wizard Magic Salon also attended the graduation ceremony with great respect. After all, after Blake officially graduated, he will also become one of the members of this magic salon.

   For the top magic forum in Azeroth, every new entry is very important.

   "Well, look at this little cutie, he doesn't cry or make trouble, but he still smiles at me."

Black, dressed in a warlock robe, stood beside the little maid Taresha and the old housekeeper Moros, who had not seen him for a long time. He stretched out his fingers to tease Mai Devin, who was held by Taresha in his arms. Uh, this meeting should probably be called. Madan?

   I don't know what Ms. Aegwynn fed her little son. This little guy is less than two years old, but he already looks very intelligent.

  When Blake reached out to touch his face, he would also show a bright smile, and even took the initiative to extend his hands to Blake.

   Ask for a hug!

   "Oh, Captain, McDean is very cold, I've never seen him so warm to anyone."

  Taresha, who has been transferred to a full-time maid, happily said to Blake:

   "He likes you very much."

   "But I dare not like him."

  Blake took a step back and declined the desire of the little guy in front of him for a hug. He knew that this little guy would definitely do great or terrible things in the future.

   To be honest, although it has been confirmed that Medivh's soul has been "reborn", Blake still cannot confirm whether the original Medivh still has a trace of consciousness.

   Even though the pirate is now a world-renowned great warlock, he is still very afraid of Medivh, the former astral mage.

   It is no exaggeration to say that the only person in this world who can compete with Queen Azshara in the field of spellcasting is the "past life" of the child in front of him.

   "I was afraid that when I was hugging him, this little cutie suddenly threw a large fireball of lava and hit me in the face."

  Blake rubbed his chin exaggeratedly and said:

   "I certainly don't believe it on someone else, but not necessarily with this little guy."

   "Master Black is joking again."

   Wearing an elegant butler's robe, wearing a magical mask to cover his rotten face, and spraying men's perfume specially to set off his identity, Moros, the undead butler, let out a hoarse laugh. He said:

   "Although Master Aegwynn has never said it, she is also full of gratitude for you in her heart. It was you who bridged her broken family and gave her a second chance to accompany her child to grow up.

   Honestly, I have never seen Master Aegwynn so simple and happy, whether before or after her death, and these two years are probably the most fulfilling and satisfying times she has spent in her life.

   Even the clumsy changing of the little master's diaper fills her with joy. "

   "Well, the former guardian's retirement life is really colorful. Who would have thought that the hands that killed Sargeras' power clone are now used to change the baby's diaper?"

   Blake winked and said:

   "I'm glad Ms. Aegwynn has found her own happiness, and I'm honored to be pushing this with my own hands. Well, I remember I just got some nice trinkets back from the Sunwell."

   Talking, the stinky pirate searched in his luggage, and finally took out a jade magic bead made by the high elves for the powerful spellcaster, intending to put it in the hands of Mai Dean and give it to him as a molar stick.

   As a result, the magic bead just approached the child, and was infused with magic power under the astonished gazes of the three of them. It swayed and levitated, emitting a faint green streamer, and swirled around Mai Dean in Taresha's arms.

  The eyes of the two-year-old followed the jade magic bead, and he let out a cute laugh, reaching out to grab the "new toy".

"fear!"

  Black gasped as if he was frightened, and said:

   "You can manipulate magic items of this level at such a young age. This kid has unlimited future."

   "What to wear."

Ms. Aegwynn's voice came from behind him, and the former guardian holding a glass of wine flicked his fingers, and the flying jade beads fell into the arms of his precious son, making Medan send out a happy expression again. giggles.

The    guardian stepped forward and kissed the child on the forehead, and then ordered Taretha and Moros to take the child to the place to rest.

   It's too late, it's time for the little ones to go to bed.

  After watching the child's nanny and her butler leave the observation deck, Ms. Aegwynn took a sip of wine and looked back at the smiling Blake. She snorted and said:

   "I didn't intend to give high marks to your paper, especially when I knew that your paper was written for you by your blue dragon junior, I even thought you were humiliating us spellcasters.

   But what to say.

  Although there are such and such problems, you have indeed successfully designed and completed a very difficult magical experiment that also involves the theory of 'life and death'.

  My caster conduct would not allow me to turn a blind eye to such a splendid jewel.

   So I gave you 99 points. "

   Having said that, Ms. Aegwynn curled her lips and said:

   "I'm giving you one less point because I'm afraid you're proud. After all, you explained it yourself in the paper. This experiment is just the first draft, and you have more shocking designs in the future.

   So I'm going to leave a little wiggle room for your achievements in the future. "

   "Uh, let me check first."

   Blake asked with a wink:

   "The full score is 100 points, not 1000 points or 10000 points, right?"

   "If you want, I can help you with this application during the next paper review."

   Aegwynn took a sip of wine and said coldly:

   "Old Merry is really kind to you. He gave you full marks. He even thinks that you did the experimental process yourself, and you did the theoretical design yourself, so you can forgive the ghostwriting of the paper.

   Alas, Dalaran's fine tradition of magic was destroyed by such bugs.

   But speaking of it, Little Xingxing's grammar level is truly amazing. Apart from the fact that she cheated for you, her thesis itself can be treated as a template for high-level spellcasters.

   Low-level spellcasters don't have to think about this.

   Anyway, the dissertation they put together for graduation is never meaningful and is more boring than toilet paper. Well, as a newcomer to the Grand Wizard's Magic Salon, you always have more responsibilities for the organization.

   Glory and duty always go hand in hand. "

   Having said this, Ms. Aegwynn rolled her eyes, coughed a few times, and said to Black:

   "It just so happened that recently Dalaran, Quel'Thalas, and Suramar have had a number of arcanists submit their magical research to me in an attempt to gain academic qualifications recognized by the Great Wizarding Salon.

   I've been bothered about it.

  I will inform them to send their papers to you for peer review. You must shoulder our ardent hopes for you and do this well. "

   "Hey! It's too much!"

   Black complained:

   "Next, I'm going to Ulduar and desperately fighting the mad Titan Guardian, where there's still an old god, and then I'm going to Argus and the demons, and by the way, save a group of gods!

   How can I have the time to help a group of elves revise their papers?

   Don't you see that Dean Lanyue is very busy every day? Why don't you. Oops, when did you come, Dean? I was talking to Ms. Aegwynn about you. "

  The smelly pirate felt the gloomy wind blowing behind him, and he turned his head with a smile on his face, pretending that nothing happened just now, and very flatteringly said to Dean Lanyue:

   "I was saying that you are very busy every day, and I strongly urge Ms. Aegwynn not to burden you any more. I think those peer-reviewed papers can be handed over to Kel'Thuzad.

Right?

   Anyway, apart from bringing those psychic apprentices to assemble weird structures every day, he only has to play cats. He must have enough time to review papers.

  If there is not enough time, the big deal is to let the apprentices assemble it by themselves. Maybe a little genius has a big brain and can spell a stupid two-legged flesh-and-blood monster.

  Speaking of which, I happen to know some structural drawings circulating in Maldroxus, do you want me to share them? Such precious knowledge is also precious in the Great Wizarding Salon.

   So I want to ask, if I share knowledge, can I get some rewards?

   Such as shaking people to help me fight for free. "

   "First of all, we are a peaceful magic theory research organization. We don't do anything like fights, and the fight with Queen Azshara is only to further measure the level of Her Majesty's magic manipulation ability."

   Dean Lan Yue said indifferently:

   "Secondly, I won't pretend I didn't hear you talking bad about me behind my back, but today is your big day, so we'll discuss your 'teacher morality' later.

  Come here, ready for your ceremony.

  Because of the urgency of time, everything is kept simple, but we still prepared badges and certificates for you, so no problem? "

   "No, no, even if there is no medal, I am not a little star, so I love all the badges so zealously, that child is almost helpless, you know?"

  Blake complained to Dean Lanyue with a smile on his face:

   "She even hinted that the Suramar elf awarded her a 'Peacemaker' badge to reward her for her outstanding performance in the Battle of Que Isle, tsk tsk, it's a shame for the blue dragon.

   But speaking of which, since my incident this time passed safely, then the little star should not be implicated, right? "

   "Her graduation was postponed for ten years."

   Dean Lan Yue said casually:

   "It's just a token punishment for her lifespan. Also, I want to apologize to you, Black, for the previous suspension of peer review, which was pushed by me."

   Having said this, Dean Lanyue was silent for a moment. She looked at the dark night outside the window and whispered:

   "I can no longer hide my complex senses from you.

  Lilesa discussed this with me a long time ago. A life like her, who was resurrected because of you, will always have some abnormal 'closeness' to you at the soul level.

   And because of the stubbornness and persistence of undead creatures towards obsession, this kind of closeness often turns into a terrible feeling.

  I don't deny that at some point in the past, I tried to keep you by my side, like clutching the sand in my hand, but the tighter I clutched, the faster you passed.

   During those few minutes at Que Island, I felt your real anger, and that was the first time I realized that I might have gone too far.

  I'm sorry, my disciple.

   I'm so engrossed in my own monopoly that I ignore your feelings. Maybe I should be smarter. "

   "It's okay, Dean, how can I be angry with you as a disciple."

  Blake is also very generous with face and said:

"I have never forgotten that when I was weak, I had to rely on your strength to run amuck in this dangerous world. In terms of what you have done to me and what I have achieved through you, these harsh words can be understood as 'the way you love me'.

   Of course, I am very moved by your apology tonight, which fully proves that the friendship between teachers and students has surpassed that of most plastic teachers and students.

   I'm really touched, Dean.

  You will be my forever mentor.

   Let's wrap up tonight's ceremony, we still have a lot to do. "

After   , the pirate took out a sealed elf scroll from his arms and handed it to Dean Lanyue. He said:

   "This golden blueprint has already been obtained. I'll go to Suramar in a few days and bring back the blueprint of the Night Well. We need to invite the best group of masons in the world to help us complete this matter."

   "Mason? Are you going to hire someone from outside?"

   Dean Lanyue put away the scroll, frowned and said:

   "It's too risky, maybe we should do it with magic."

"too slow."

  Black shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, Dean, I have a way to get the masons to keep their mouths shut, and it's definitely not through threats. Magic can do a lot of things, but this kind of 'civil engineering' that requires absolute precision should be left to professionals. .

   And don’t rush to finalize it. "

  The pirates warned:

   "We're going to hire someone who's absolutely at the top of the field to help us redesign our magic well, and it might be a few days before she's free.

   Just in time, we can discuss the second draft of the experimental concept of "Flesh Reincarnation" that I want to promote in the Great Wizarding Salon.

  Although I am very confident in my academic ability, it is not something that I can do alone. It takes a group of heroes to work together. "

   "Hey, Captain Smelly, come, turn around!"

  Little Star's joyful cry rang behind Black, and the pirate turned around and heard a click.

  He stood with Dean Lanyue with a smile on his face, and the scene of toasting with the high-level spellcasters behind him was captured by the gnome camera.

   Time seemed to freeze at this moment, making Blake's graduation an eternal memory.

   Well, this photo must be good for the cover of the autobiography of His Royal Highness Xingxing.
