Azeroth Shadow Trail

  Chapter 185 4. I don't have a rat flute, but I'll take children away

   "Don't be so mean, Gani."

  In front of the temporary garbage dump, the old Gani who emerged from the smoke failed to scare the three children, which made the scene a little cold for a moment.

   Fortunately, there are caring pirates who come to the rescue.

  Blake waved his hand like no one else. While dissolving the embarrassment, he took out the worn out scroll of the Hand of Destiny from his suitcase, tossed it in his hand, and said:

   "I found a lot of lowly people for you in this far-flung eastern continent, which perfectly match all the characteristics of your chosen believers, and you can shelter them as much as you like.

   In addition, this thing I bought from the ancestor turtle is also considered garbage, do you want it? "

  Old Gani's gaze fell on the scroll of the Hand of Destiny in Black's hand, and its big eyes shrank suddenly, apparently recognizing what was in Black's hand.

   placed tiny claws and waved again and again:

   "I want it, but I can't afford it. It's not something that a weak Loa like me can get my hands on. Well, keep it away, and stop making such bad jokes with old Gani.

   Let’s get down to business.

   Even across the sea, Old Gani can smell the dark aura emanating from this forest. It’s not a good place, but I’m sure I can find a lot of sparkles here.

  So, my little believers, what gift do you want from Old Gani? "

   Loa, the slender-jawed dragon with bright and funny scales, disappeared in the smoke and reappeared behind the three children, putting two small flexible claws on the shoulders of the two boys.

   moved his slender neck again, rotated his big eyes, opened his sharp mouth, exposing the triangular-shaped sharp teeth like a rasp, and looked at the little girl Artea.

   This weird action finally made Altea show a scared expression and ducked back, which made Old Gani's tone even more pleasant.

  Blake shrugged, took out a bottle of wine from the bag at his waist, bit off the cork, and leaned against the tree to the side, watching this unscrupulous trashman Loa scare the children.

   Facing the question of Old Gani, the three children couldn't help looking at the pirates, who raised their heads to drink and pretended not to see their gazes.

   Apparently, he did not intend to be involved.

"why are you not speaking?"

  In the silence, the old Ghani said again in a strange tone:

   "Looks like the three cubs are terrified by the amazing old Ghani.

   I'm sorry, then I'll give you something. Well, you are so thin, you can't find enough food in this plentiful place.

   Let the Old Ghani teach you the way of life of the humble.

   Go outside the town, walk 300 paces east, then 150 paces southwest, and you will be able to see the gift of old Ghani to you three little believers.

go Go. "

At the urging of the trash guy Loa, the three children followed its instructions suspiciously and walked out of the town. After watching them disappear, the old Gani's figure made of smoke appeared again in the process of disappearing and reappearing. Beside Blake.

  It opened its mouth, just in time to hold the rum bottle that Blake had drank a third of the way down, gurgling it like drinking water, and then grabbed the bottle with its nimble claws.

  "Yeah, this exquisite wine bottle can be brought back and used as a water storage container for the lowly in the Waldun Desert. Or it can be used as a weapon against bad guys

   Like this! "

   Ravenclaw raised its claws and was about to smash the bottle on Black's head, but eventually stopped beside the pirate's head.

  Black just pretended he didn't see this weird behavior.

   He took out his dwarf pipe again and said while filling it with shredded tobacco;

   "This place is really suitable for your development, Gani, and I'm not trying to cheat you. After six years of war, people have been displaced, and their former homes have been trampled by orcs.

  The farm is deserted, the weeds grow, and the once bustling mine is now empty.

   Even if the Wrynn royal family does come back, it will take at least ten years to rebuild their rule. There are enough lowly people here, and the scavengers can become your followers and find what you want for you anywhere.

   They can also serve as your eyes to observe the vast world beyond Zandalar.

do you know?

  Gani, I always thought it was a bit wasteful for you to be the king of the trash.

Well, it's not that there's anything wrong with being a garbage guy living in a garbage heap, but you can do things beyond your imagination, just stay in that closed place in Zandalar and make you too talented .

   I think we can work together. "

  Blake lit his pipe, exhaled a puff of smoke, and showed a comfortable expression, he winked at the old Gani who maintained the motion of smashing him with the bottle, and said:

   "We can do something big together. With the development of my career and the expansion of the territory, the garbage heap of the whole world will belong to you, and you will become the real king of garbage!"

   "You tell the truth!"

  Old Gani looked like "I see you bragging". The big eyes of this Slender-jawed dragon were full of wisdom. It said:

   "Don't use this seductive rhetoric.

  I am the **** of the humble, and I have seen many eloquent guys like you.

   I choose to live my simple life in the garbage dump, just because I don’t want to have too much interaction with this complex world.

   I live well because I desire less.

  Say it, stinky pirate.

  Speak, you rich man.

  You summoned old Gani to this **** place so far, what are you going to do? "

   "There is a force in the forest that is about to get out of control. I would like to ask you to help me find the source. I don't know many people now, and even fewer can accomplish this."

  Black pointed to the way he came, and said:

   "Your loa is far away in Zandalar, there is no danger in doing things, as long as there are enough garbage heaps in the forest, you can hide well.

   Just do me a favor.

   Now, in return, I'll get you some **** heaps on Kul Tiras too, so that you can gather a bunch of scavengers there and collect more sparkles for you. "

   "There are indeed a lot of sparkles that I like here, and there is a taste of abandonment like you said. Maybe I can really find a lot of similar things here."

  Old Gani rolled his eyes, he sniffed his nostrils in the shadow of the ruins of the town, showed a comfortable expression, and said:

   "I'm just as weak as I used to be, I'm hiding from XZ, I'm indifferent, I'm living on scraps, and I'm despised by the naturally powerful.

   Ah, my big family needs more members.

  Alas, it is a pity that the humble will only unite when they are weak. "

   "Don't be so pessimistic.

  Humans and trolls treat faith differently. As far as I can see, humans are much more sincere than trolls. Maybe you can live more comfortably here than in Zandalar. "

The    pirate laughed and said:

"And me.

   just dislikes those who are high and high. They abandoned this land and left these people in the war-torn land to die.

   Now, through victory, he will return to this ravaged land in a grand manner, pretending that nothing has happened, and want to continue to rule here.

  No no no, they no longer have that power.

   In the life where the human beings can see their heads at a glance, in addition to the Holy Light, now they have a second choice.

   Help them, old Gani, and teach the poor and the humble how to live.

   Help them, so that they can live nourished and nourished in the darkness that does not need the light of the Holy Light. "

   "It sounds like you have a lot of resentment towards that Holy Light."

  Old Garni threw the wine bottle in his paws into his own garbage heap, and he used his thicker hind legs to step on the garbage heap more comfortably.

  The pirate shrugged and said to it:

   "The Holy Light is good, Gani, and you have to learn to respect it. But the guys who do things in the name of the Holy Light are often not what they appear to be.

  I really have no bad intentions, I invite you to come here, I just want to make this place better.

   Is it wrong to help the poor now?

  Look, your three little believers are back. Seeing how happy they are, I think they have a full understanding of your "magic power". "

"Of course!"

   Old Gani snorted proudly and said:

   "No one knows what the humble need better than me."

   When the three children came back, they were indeed smiling.

  Althea held a large bag of fresh mushrooms in her tattered skirt. These things were boiled into a hot soup that could be shared by ten people.

  The two little boys were carrying a rabbit that had fallen to their death from a height, and a few pieces of fresh meat taken from an old and dead black wolf with a worn-out dagger.

   came back with a full reward.

   "Thank you, old Gani."

  The three children were excited and saluted Old Garni respectfully. Compared with the delicious bread and sugar that the pirates gave them, the food that Old Garni guided them to find could help them better.

   "Hey, now you know how good old Gani is."

  Black snapped his fingers and said to the three children in front of him:

   "After you go back, remember to tell other people today's story, omit my story, and tell those who can't get enough to eat, as long as they come here to contribute to the garbage heap, they can have a full meal.

   However, our old Garni rejects money, hates luxury, and even less likes those expensive things.

   Remember! It's just garbage.

   Do you understand? "

   "No stinky garbage!"

  Old Garni raised a paw after the pirates had finished speaking and said to the three children:

   "Bringing stinky stuff will only irritate me, and I'll send Microraptors to bite your **** at night! I'm a clean loa, so wash them before offering.

   I love the ingenious rubbish.

   Those discards that have not been found valuable by the rich.

  Things that can be used to bestow more humble ones like you.

   Remember, kids! "

   When the old Gani disappeared into smoke, he said in a serious tone:

   "One person's trash is another person's god."

   After saying that, it disappeared on the **** heap as the smoke dissipated, and took the empty wine bottle and a few pairs of boots and clothes with it.

   And all this was like a dream for the three children.

   But the mushrooms, rabbits and meat in their arms showed them that they really exchanged useful garbage for these precious foods.

   "Hey, wake up."

  Black stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the three children, drawing their eyes to him.

   He stroked the skull of Gul'dan hanging on his chest, and while breathing in the smoke of his pipe, he said slowly to the children in front of him:

   "What I promised, I did. I gave the refugees in this forest a chance to eat, now it's time for you to fulfill your promise.

  I'm going to take one of you."

   "I'll go with you!"

  The eldest Morgan put the rabbit in his hand on the ground.

   He was a little scared, but he gritted his teeth and said:

   "Young Master and Miss can't leave, this is their family's territory, they are destined to inherit all this, I have nothing to worry about, I can follow you."

   "No, you have your destiny."

  Black stretched out his fingers and shook his head, he said to Morgan seriously:

   "There's a girl waiting for you, and before tragedy comes, you'll have a wonderful family, and I can't take it away."

   His fingers moved outward and placed on Artea again, looked at it for a few seconds, shook his head again, and said:

   "This little girl is too smart and has the trait of being a little traitor. Your fate is linked to this dark forest. If I take you away, the story of this forest will also become incomplete.

I want you! "

  Blake's finger finally landed on the unconvinced skinny boy Kanrisad, who narrowed his eyes and said:

   "You have a dark heart like mine.

  Your eyes are full of hatred and anger, keeping you here will cause trouble, sooner or later, you will embark on a path of giving up everything and chasing strength.

  You are very suitable to join my pirate group, you will become a very good pirate.

   Say goodbye to your sister and friends.

   After four hours, we set off. "
