Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 162 70. Things the turtles care about

On the second floor of the    warehouse, when Black picked up the tortoise shell containing the epic item, the two ancestral tortoises, who had been angry with each other just now, immediately cheered.

   They were so happy that they jumped up and slapped while carrying the heavy turtle shell.

   This strange reaction made Blake wake up instantly.

   He looked at the two tortoises in front of him, and with hindsight he realized that he seemed to be the protagonist of the story Kou Qiao was writing about educating children.

   These two cunning guys actually colluded?

   No wonder Totaka asked from the beginning that Blake must be blindfolded.

  The pirate's perception is sharp enough to detect the movements of the ancestor turtle, but he can't detect the eye contact between the two turtle people.

   In this case, everything makes sense.

   Kojo first used two rounds of games to prove that Black did have a talent for treasure hunting, and then Totaka, who looked silly and stubborn, took over and played a losing role.

   Lose to Black four times first, letting the pirates let their guard down.

   Then in the last round, using the pirate's ability to "sniff" treasures, he set a small "trap" for him.

   "The highest quality must be the treasure, but not necessarily the most valuable thing, my pirate friends, these are two concepts. The breath of treasures blinds you and makes you lose the game in the end.

   But don't worry.

   We didn't mean to frame you, but your talent for treasure hunting was so terrible that we had to play this trick. "

   Collector Ko Qiao stepped forward, took out the gray shiny object from the ten tortoise shells, and put it in front of Blake. He explained and made a "please" gesture.

  Black stretched out his hand to hold the worn scroll in front of him, and took off the black cloth covering his eyes. This thing was obviously a piece of garbage with a gray glow.

   But in the equipment column of the character card, the entry that belongs to it is shocking:

   Hand of Fate Scroll

   Damaged Quality 【Curse Item·God Relic】

   With special effects:

   Unroll the reels and have a hearty "Hand of Destiny" game with the enemy. The rules are simple: winners stay safe, losers keep their souls.

  Item Description:

   It once belonged to a powerful Loa deity, but unfortunately its owner has been permanently expelled from the material world, and the last trace of divine power belonging to him is attached to the scroll, making it form a strange energy

  Be careful, once you turn it on and you can't please the hand of fate, then you will have bad luck.

   "It turned out to be this thing."

  The pirate rubbed his forehead with a headache.

  This thing is also reflected in the game, and it is indeed from the hands of the ancestor turtle.

  There is not much description about it in the game, but once this scroll is opened, the power is really amazing.

   In terms of "value", the value of this humble scroll and its accompanying power is indeed much stronger than that of an epic item.

   I won't complain this time.

"I lost."

  Black nodded, put the scroll on the table, looked at the two ancestor turtles in front of him, put his left hand on the thrashing blade around his waist, and a strange light flashed in his left eye.

Say:

   "But I'm a pirate, don't you think I'll keep my promise?"

   "No no no, don't use your weapons, friend. There is indeed one thing in your hands that we must get."

   Kojo waved his paws and looked at the malicious pirates. He said:

   "But not the collectibles you cherish. Trust me, it's very small in your hands, but it's very important to our ancestors."

   Speaking, the collector stretched out his claws and reached for the collection in front of the pirate.

   His eyes didn't stop at a few legendary items, and he directly held the most inconspicuous Tide Charm in Black's hand, as if he had obtained the most precious treasure.

   handed it over to Totaka, and in the language of the ancestor tortoise, seriously warned:

   "Send it to Nora as fast as you can, to the wisest Scroll Sage among us, and you will surely find clues about the Tidestone from it.

  To stop the vicious Naga's pursuit and slaughter of our compatriots, we must find that artifact! "

"and many more!"

  The pirate raised his hand and interrupted the conversation between the two ancestral tortoises.

   He raised his head and looked at the two of them with puzzled eyes. After a few seconds, Black asked in a jerky Ancestral Turtle Language and couldn't help laughing:

   "Friends, you played so many tricks and deliberately lost so many treasures to me in order to find the Tide Stone?

   Can you just ask me directly?

   I know exactly where that thing is, and I am willing to share its hiding place with my generous friends. "

   "You, do you speak our language?"

  Totaka immediately grabbed the Turtleman Halberd at hand, and Kojo was concerned about another matter.

The    collector looked at the pirate in amazement, and then looked at the tidal spell in his hand.

He says:

   "You know the Tide Stone? Where is it? Really? Friend, I don't quite believe it."

   "Cough, then listen carefully, I'll just say a little bit."

  Blake's unpleasant feeling of being trapped in his heart will disappear completely. He slowly took out the dwarf's pipe, put it to his mouth, coughed, and exhaled a smoke ring.

   slowly raised a finger and said:

   "First of all, the Tide Stone, one of the five pillars of creation, the full name is 'Gorgonar's Tide Stone', it is said that the appearance of the oceans of Azeroth originated from that artifact.

  Secondly, 10,000 years ago, this artifact was stored in the elven city Azsuna near the capital of the ancient elven empire Xin Azsali, and was under the custody and control of a magic prince named Farodis under the command of Queen Azshara.

  Finally, it hasn't moved anywhere for 10,000 years.

   Do you want me to continue? "

   "Tortola is above! We have never heard of what you said!"

   Kou Qiao, the ancestral tortoise collector, exclaimed.

   He hurriedly grabbed the scroll at hand and wrote down what Black had just said. As he wrote, he said to the pirates:

   "Nevertheless, I don't think you are deceiving us. But since you know this legend, you are also a pirate who roams the sea.

   There are also clues such as the tidal charms that Queen Naga imitated the power of the Tide Stone, created and distributed to the leaders of the Naga clans under her command.

  Why don't you look for the artifact that can rule the sea?

  With it, you will become the true sea king of Azeroth! In the endless sea, no one can match your majestic power! "

   "Really? This tidal spell has this effect? ​​I don't even know it. It seems that there are many blind spots in my memory and knowledge."

  Blake rubbed his chin and sighed a little, then looked at the two excited and joyful ancestor turtles and announced the regrettable answer:

   "Because, the Tide Stone has been broken. It was broken 10,000 years ago, and the power of that artifact has long since dissipated most of it.

Ten thousand years ago, Queen Azshara, 'Light of Light', after sensing the betrayal of Prince Farodis, smashed the artifact with her own hands, and borrowed its power of creation to drop a terrifying force that lasted for 10,000 years. curse.

   The effect of that curse is much more powerful than the little tricks Bwonsamdi and Hela played.

   It is still in its heyday to this day. "

   Black's words, like a basin of cold water, were poured on Kojo and Totaka, and the joy in the eyes of the two ancestor turtles quickly turned into shock and loss.

   "So, if you want to find the Tide Stone and use its power to fight against the raging deep sea Naga Empire, you are basically doing nothing."

  Blake breathed out a smoke ring, rolled his eyes, and formed a brilliant plan in his mind.

   said to the two silent ancestor turtles:

   "But don't be too desperate, the fragments of the artifact should still have some power to manipulate the sea. If you can find one or two of them, it shouldn't be a problem to set up a shelter with powerful divine power in the sea.

   I have always been good to my friends.

   So I am willing to help you, my generous friends. "

  The pirate reached out and held the scroll in front of him and shook it in front of the two ancestral tortoises. He said:

   "I took this thing as a deposit. The Tide Stone is still in the Azsuna area of ​​the Broken Isles. When you are ready to explore, please contact me.

  I will bring the fleet to support you. "

"you"

   Kojo watched Black throw the scroll of the Hand of Fate into his bag, and the collector wanted to stop it.

   But the raised paw finally clenched.

   He thought about it and said to the pirate:

   "According to what you said, if the fragments of the Tide Stone still have divine power, we must get it. The attacks of the Naga are more and more frequent.

   Our city in Vashj'ir has been destroyed by their rampaging army.

  The night elves are very willing to help, and they and the Naga are also generational enemies, but their sentinels are strong, but they are not good at underwater combat, we must get that artifact."

   "Well, in fact, if you have the spirit of sacrifice, it is not just the Tide Stone that can be used by you as an artifact."

   The light in Black's eyes became deeper.

   He looked at the two ancestral turtles in front of him, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said:

   "In Vashj'ir, the waters controlled by the Naga, there is actually a weapon that can also manipulate the power of the sea. But that thing is Azshara's favorite thing.

do you understand me? friend.

  Once you grab that thing, while gaining the power to protect yourself, it will inevitably attract the endless pursuit of the Naga. "

   "They are already killing us!"

  Totaka said grumpily:

   "Our city in Vashj'ir is not the first city to be destroyed by the Naga, who hate everything that has to do with the night elves, and our **** Tortola, the demigod of the night elf druids.

   They see us also as enemies that must be eliminated.

  If you can bring us the power to protect ourselves, then all the ancestor turtles will regard you as a true friend! Your fleet is at sea and can be helped by all the proto-turtles.

  Our stronghold, our charts, and our collections will all be open to you!

   Captain Black, this is our promise.

   but you have to

   Let us see the power of your promise first. "

"okay."

  Black, playing with the worn hilt in his hand, said:

   "I have to think about it first, is it worth it to offend the powerful Naga for you.

   But you can start preparations now. Divide a group of people to Azsuna to find the fragments of the Tide Stone. I will give you a detailed map.

   And that weapon in Vashj'ir, friends, you well-informed collectors, have you heard the name Sarah Hill?

   or its other name, Azshara's Tide Scepter. "

   Kojo and Totaka glanced at each other, and the two ancestor turtles nodded at the same time.

   They have heard of it.

   "Very well, then I don't have to explain its power."

  Black flicked his fingers and said to Totaka:

   "Look, there is a conflict between my subordinates and your subordinates, but as leaders, we have to be rational.

   You want that ship to transport supplies to your compatriots in distress. This is a kind trip. Although I am a pirate, I do not want to stop it.

How about this.

   That ship belongs to us.

   After I finish my business in the Eastern Continent, I will try my best to help you find the Tide Stone.

   Just in time, when we were going back to the Eastern Continent, we barely made the way to Vashjer, so we helped you deliver the supplies, and saved you the trouble of looking for someone to **** you everywhere.

   As for the sea area of ​​Vashj'ir, I'm not talking about it, I'm very familiar with it.

I am quite aware of where the    Tide Scepter is hidden by those Naga sea witches. "

  The pirate snorted, nodded his head, and said:

   "But it must be very difficult to capture it when the Naga has an absolute advantage.

   Both you and I will have to pay a heavy price, so let’s move forward with this adventure plan after we find the Tide Stone first, and after the trust of both parties has improved.

   Crafty friends. "

  PS:

   Do you want to start tomorrow, and send the three chapters every day together in the morning, so as to avoid the hard work of everyone chasing, do you think? Okay, let's start tomorrow?
