Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1801 27. Maiev's first wish [seeking monthly ticket 33]

   Later that day, near midnight, the news of the victory from the front line of the Great Temple spread throughout the city of Suramar, making the citizens who had been terrified all day feel a little relieved.

  At the same time as the demons attacked the front line, those winged flying demons also crossed the position and launched an attack on the city of Suramar. Fortunately, they were few in number and Suramar also prepared in advance.

  The good news is that the demons were shot down from the sky by the city's rangers as soon as they appeared.

  The bad news is that the city rangers don't have a correct understanding of the life force of demons, which causes those demons to crash into the city and destroy some houses and kill some hapless elves.

   The whole Suramar was panicking about this incident. Fortunately, the great nobles who temporarily managed the city had some skills. They ordered the mages to send unique and powerful arcane golems to patrol to calm people's hearts.

  Although most of the golems have been transferred to the front line, these five- or six-meter-high arcane and metal hunks can still bring a lot of illusory security to the civilians when they are patrolling.

   But for those who know it, the victory at the front is not worth mentioning at all.

   "The Monkey King sent me news that Lord Ravencrest's army was only a vanguard that defeated the demons, and the other demons voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield.

   They didn't even make contact with the elf army, and they probably realized that the 'decapitation tactics' of the elves were useful, so they were preparing for countermeasures. "

   In the Moon Temple of Suramar, Emperor Shaohao, who temporarily lived here in the name of "recuperation", said to Blake who was sitting by the window of his room worriedly:

   "Lord Ravencrest is a very good commander who is good at listening to advice. He decisively adopted Illidan's advice and executed the hunting tactics. The death of the demon commander caused the demon vanguard to fall into chaos, which brought victory.

   But the battle that lasted less than an hour caused heavy damage to the warriors on the front line.

  According to the Monkey King, almost all the soldiers who retreated from the battlefield were injured, many people died in the front line positions, and the elite who charged with Ravencase lost at least one-fifth.

   I hate to say that, but their victories were insignificant. "

The   Pandaren Emperor has seen with his own eyes how many demons there are on the Xin Azali Plains. He knows that killing a demon vanguard is nothing at all. For the demons, it is not a drop in the bucket.

   What's more, the portal over the Well of Eternity is still sending out more demons, and Suramar's killing is not as fast as others'.

   "It's just a 'hello'."

  Black played with the jug in his hand and said to the pandaren:

   "The victory of the war is not at all on the frontal battlefield. Even the upgraded version of the Anti-Magic Alliance, which was formed by me 10,000 years later, cannot fight the Burning Legion on the frontal battlefield.

   It is obviously unnecessary to play crowd tactics with demons. I believe that a commander at the level of Ravencrest must have understood this after today’s battle.

  You don't have to worry either.

  I have used my method to give them the "Secret of Victory" without affecting the direction of fate. "

The   crumb pirate squeezed his eyes, stretched his voice and said:

   "When the right time comes, they will know how to win before the demon's crushing attack. Especially when fighting these fel barbarians, they need to use their brains. Those who can't use their brains have already died."

   "Why are you so calm!"

   Shaohao sighed and said to Blake angrily:

   "We're talking about war, a war that will kill a lot of people! Do you really feel nothing about the loss of your life? Don't you say that part of yourself is a good **** who belongs to the realm of life?"

   "I respect life, so I didn't add more variables, did I?"

  The pirate rolled his eyes and said to Shaohao, who was anxious to get angry:

"But you have to understand, my friends, that what is going on in your eyes is to me a given fact of the 'past', those who have died, who are dying and who are about to die, are already in my eyes dead.

   It's like when I listen to a story, I also get emotional in my heart because of the ups and downs of the story, but I'm not stupid enough to ask the storyteller to change the context of the story for a happy ending in my heart.

   I can't do that. "

  Blake shook his head, pointed to the sky, and said mysteriously:

   "Life and death are counted. Once I cause a large-scale life and death change, my time and space travel will be in vain. You have your troubles, and I have mine.

   So, don't add more pressure to me, okay? "

"I do not understand."

   Shaohao frowned and said:

   "But I can feel you're not lying to me, and I'll summarize what you mean by saying that there's an invisible 'line' to your actions here, right?

  There are no taboos when you don’t cross the line, but once you cross that line, everything is over? "

   "It's easy to talk to smart people."

  The pirate jumped down from the window, he moved his neck in admiration, and said:

   "The story of this era 10,000 years ago is destined to have a good ending, but the ending after 10,000 years is still unknown. I can repair the ending of this era to a better one according to your ideas.

  I can go to Xin Azshara alone now, and kill Azshara, the source of all evil, with a perfect assassination.

   It's easy.

   But the price of this is that the world in 10,000 years will go from the balance I managed to maintain to the end of destruction. Now, if you were me, what would you choose?

   Do you still want me to intervene and save more people? "

   "Farewell, you should stay in Surama and fall in love with Miss Maiev."

   Shaohao pouted, and the pandaren emperor rolled his eyes and snatched the wine from Blake, then took up his dragon staff and said to the pirates:

   "I'm going to the front now, and I'm uneasy to stay here. But I'll make sure again, you can't interfere, but I can, right?"

   "Well, you can move freely."

  The pirate nodded and said:

   "But you can't leave too obvious traces of history, it's better to be low-key.

  The demons stopped marching now, not because of their kindness. They realized that the elves had discovered the weakness of their command system, and they should be waiting for a higher-level demon commander to come.

   I mean, if those guys show up, don't be reckless.

   I've made arrangements, and when it's time to act, you won't lose your battles, but if the pandaren emperor dies in the elf world, then Pandaria will be finished.

   This is your action constraint, always putting life first. "

"understood."

   Shaohao nodded, raised his head to take a sip of wine, and rushed out the window of the Moon Temple with the swiftness of a monk.

  Blake watched him leave, shook his head again, and disappeared into the room in a flash, and when he reappeared, he was already in the Moon Chamber of the Moon Temple.

   He walked in the floating candlelight, and in the quiet hall in front of him, only a familiar figure prayed under the holy altar of the sculpture of the Moon God.

   "You are really on time."

  The pirate said something softly, he stepped forward, half-kneeled beside Miss Maiev, closed his eyes and made a gesture of prayer, and said softly:

   "Recovered?"

   "I'm not hurt."

   Maiev whispered something, and then the apprentice priest pursed his lips and said:

   "About the power you have left me, I can feel you guiding my archery and fighting skills when I close my eyes during my lunch break, it's like a dream.

   But after I woke up, I really felt that my combat skills had been greatly improved, as if I had actually participated in the battle.

   Mr. Black, are you training me on purpose? "

   "You may think so."

Black's shadow stretched and twisted on the ground during the candlelight jump in the secret room of the moon. The abyss spread in the darkness and soon covered the walls and windows around the secret room, isolating all exploration from the outside world. .

   As a sincere believer, he said to Miss Maiev:

   "You are destined for great and heavy duty, and like many warriors of this age, you will soon be on your own path.

   But there is not much time left for you, so I just used a little "acceleration" method.

   Does this bother you? Maiev. "

   "No, no, I didn't resist, especially after seeing the ferocity and horror of the demons with my own eyes, I knew I had to have more power to protect Lady Elune's people."

   Maiev shook his head.

  The young white-haired elf was silent for a moment, and then said:

   "Sorry, Mr. Black, without your permission, I gave your name to Priest Dejana, and I told them to pray to the 'Shadow of the Moon' in times of crisis.

   Will this cause you trouble? "

   "No, that's exactly what I want you to do."

  The pirate shook his head and said:

   "This is also what Ms. Elune hopes to see. Her Majesty the Moon God is a benevolent god, and she is distressed that there are too few followers to help her in this era.

  My appearance can make up for her regret, and the changes in the spiritual realm will not be noticed by those who are interested. The shadow of the moon is the power of Elune, and I just brought its true mystery into this world 10,000 years in advance.

   But, Maiev, you have to be prepared. "

"Um?"

   Maiev turned to look at the mysterious and powerful Mr. Black, who was especially kind to her, so gentle that she was a little scared, she whispered:

"what to prepare?"

   "God's Choice."

  Blake opened his eyes with a smile, and the dim moonlight was reflected in the blue pupils that rolled like the sea.

   He said softly:

"You want to be the chosen of the Shadow Moon, just as your companion Tyrande Windspeaker will be the chosen of the Bright Moon, this is what Ms. Elune entrusted, and it is I who will replace him in this place. important events of the era.

  You have to understand that after Azshara ruthlessly abandoned the night elves, these Luna people needed new leaders.

  Elves are more fortunate than other races in that other civilizations can only hope to have one leader, and you can have two at the same time. "

"This"

   Maiev's eyes widened. She tried to defend herself, but Blake reached out and interrupted her.

He says:

   "This is the will of the Moon God, and it is also the choice of fate.

   I know you're not a publicity personality, Tyrande is better than you to be a leader, but you can protect your people in the shadows. "

   "I'm not rejecting it, it's just, it's too sudden."

   Young Maiev whispered:

   "God chooses something, this is too exaggerated, there are so many better priests than me, I'm not even a formal priest. Where did the moon **** take a fancy to me?"

   "You're beautiful, aren't you?"

   Pirate grinned and said:

   "Tyrande is also an unparalleled beauty. You two should be regarded as the most outstanding two of the priests of the moon in this era."

"how can that be!"

   Maiev's expression was very exciting. She opened her mouth in astonishment, revealing unbelievable doubts. She said fiercely:

   "How could this be the reason! How could Ms. Elune be so superficial, and only rely on appearance to choose the Chosen One, I don't believe it, it's too"

   "Well, the truth may not be as complicated as you think, my young Maiev."

  Blake shrugged, glanced at the majestic Moon God sculpture, pointed to his face, and whispered:

   "Do you think I'm handsome? Is this face handsome enough?"

"Uh"

   The sudden question made young Maiev blushed.

   He said in his heart that Mr. Black was so powerful, yet so impolite, how could he ask such a straightforward question to an elf lady.

   But considering that this issue is likely to be related to the will of the Moon God, Maiev tried to calm himself down.

   She looked carefully at Lord Black's face in the floating light of the Moon Chamber.

The face is quite soft, without the lines of the elf melon seed face, but it has a very peculiar style and laziness of the prodigal son, especially the pair of brilliant eyes, the gentleness of the sea and the mystery of the moonlight are perfectly integrated, just like It is a whirlpool that attracts the attention of the girls.

   But there always seemed to be a sadness that couldn't be wiped away from the depths of those eyes. Every time I looked at these eyes, a heart-shaking feeling would emerge in Maiev's heart.

   makes her seem to sink into it, unable to extricate herself.

   Maiev hurriedly averted his eyes and continued to observe the rest of Blake's face, his long blond hair draped over his shoulders, and his well-manicured beard that gave him a sense of stability.

   Always smiling lips fit perfectly with this face.

   In general, this is definitely not a face that will make people feel pressure or disgust, but if you really want to compare the beauty of the handsome guy in the elves, this face is honestly worse.

  Miss Maiev felt her heart pounding, and the peculiar feeling that rose every time she approached Mr. Black made her face burn.

   She hurriedly lowered her head, reciting Ms. Elune's name in her heart to calm herself down, and under the expectant gaze of the pirates, the apprentice priest made a weak voice like a mosquito, and said:

   "Well, it's pretty cool, but I've never been very good at this, so just come to the conclusion."

"Alright alright."

  The pirate got the answer he wanted and was very satisfied.

Probably because of his happiness, the face of the abyss in his shadow also quieted down little by little. At the moment when it receded, the bright moonlight came in from the window and was shrouded in Black and Maiev, like gentleness. The silver star gauze scatters.

   In this quiet moonlight, Blake said softly:

   "Our Moon God, everything is fine, but the pursuit of 'beauty' has formed the stubbornness of the gods, and she will not choose an ugly guy to be her godly choice.

   A life with perfect appearance like you, me, and Tyrande fits her vision. Of course, this is only the first step.

   For the gods, the beauty of the heart is as important as the beauty of the appearance. "

   Having said this, the pirate paused and said in a low voice:

   "Maev Shadowsong, you are a person who knows how to love and how to respond to love. You have a heart as beautiful as your appearance, which is probably why Ms. Elune chose you."

"Thank you for the compliment."

   Maiev's heartbeat almost jumped out of his chest.

   She felt that the atmosphere in the secret room of the moon was getting more and more ambiguous, and what was even worse was that she, who had always been sober, did not resist this kind of ambiguous hair growth with Mr. Black.

   She felt that she couldn't go on like this, so she changed the subject and said:

   "You said last time that I can make a wish to you, right?"

   "Well, I did say so."

  Black nodded and said:

   "Every time you listen to a story, you can make a wish, but I feel that I am at a disadvantage, so I decided to add another restriction, every time you have to do one thing for me, I can make your wish come true.

  Relax, you will not violate the teachings of the Moon God, so have you decided to make a wish? "

"Um."

   Maiev nodded, and she said sincerely:

   "I'm ready to hear your second story, I hope those innocent creatures in the Empire can survive this disaster."

   "Wow, what a terrible wish."

  The pirate pouted, he stood up, stretched out his hand to Miss Maiev in the moonlight, and said:

   "But I can promise you to help those elves who have escaped to survive this ancient battle. In exchange, you will accompany me tonight"

   "??!"

   "Go shopping with me"

  Blake was joking on purpose.

   He admired Maiev who was panicking like a deer, and said:

   "Suramar at night is beautiful, right? A lot happened the last time I was here, and that's the story I want to tell you tonight.

  A story about the pirates Black and Suramar. "
