Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 207 26. Message from afar

  In Ravenhold's stronghold in Dalaran, the young intelligence agent Jack wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously.

   He was on his counter, writing an emergency report.

  The content is Ravenholdt's high-level assassin, "Orc Killer" Black Shaw appeared in Dalaran, and by the way, reported the death of Gul'dan to the organization.

   He is a very smart man.

   Being able to be dispatched as an intelligence officer in a city like Dalaran has proven that he is the "key training target" in the organization.

   He knew that what Blake said just now was not for him.

   Instead, he had to use his mouth to convey it to the top of the organization.

  Black has won another epic victory for Ravenholdt Manor, and he is asking the organization to give him a title and power as opposed to merit.

   For the huge organization of Ravenholdt, the title of Master Assassin cannot be given casually.

  The appearance of a master means that there will be one more faction in the organization.

   It is not difficult for Jack to think that once he sends this letter, there will definitely be a big earthquake inside Ravenholdt Manor, which is currently preparing to assist the Alliance and complete the decisive battle against the Horde.

but.

   They did indeed hunt down two legends of the orcs. Such a feat is here. If the Assassin League did not respond at all, it would indeed be chilling.

   "Jack."

"what?"

  Blake's voice suddenly sounded behind Jack, startling the young intelligence officer.

   He is also a high-ranking assassin.

   But before Black spoke, he didn't notice Black's existence at all.

   This means that the ubiquitous shadow's love for Blake has reached a level that Jack cannot match.

   "You can be sent to Dalaran, you must be familiar with the local area, so can you do me two personal favors?"

  The pirate chuckled, patted the "young man" who was older than him on the shoulder, took something out of his luggage, put it by Jack's hand, and said:

   "I use this as a reward."

  Jack glanced at his hand.

  Black placed there was a delicate wand. The forearm is short and long, with polished slender magic rubies at both ends, and the handle is made of the best yew wood.

   Just put it there, you can see a layer of psychedelic light beating.

   Advanced Magic Items!

   Absolutely!

  Jack's eyes narrowed immediately, and he judged in a flash with his vicious eyes that this thing was worth a fortune.

   And within Ravenhold, members are not prohibited from entrusting work to each other.

   In fact, the organization indulges this kind of behavior, and the high-level believes that in peacetime, such behavior can effectively promote the skills and combat effectiveness of the members of the organization not to slip.

   But one thing, bounties and quests for companions cannot be posted.

   "What kind of service do you need from me?"

  Jack ran his fingers on the wand and asked:

   "Information, or?"

   "No no no, just two very simple jobs."

  The pirate walked to the counter, picked up a ceramic ornament on the counter, put it in his hand and played with it, he said casually:

   "I'm in love with the sea now, and I plan to expand my career on the sea in the future. Life on land disgusts me. I've got a few boats.

   But lack of crew is a big problem.

   Coincidentally, I learned some local rumours in Dalaran today. "

  Black glanced at Jack and said:

   "I just heard from my sources that the orcs of the Dragonmaw clan burned a large farm near Dalaran during a recent war, causing the farmers there to be displaced.

   was already starving to death.

  Master Masters don't have time to care about those civilians, but I just need a lot of manpower right now.

   So, can I personally entrust you with recruiting some sailors for me? "

   The red-haired young man thought for a few seconds, then looked at Blake and said:

   "So, Lord Black, how many sailors do you need to recruit locally?"

The change in the title    made the pirates very satisfied.

   He put the ceramic ornament in his hand back in place, rubbed his chin and said:

   "At least three hundred people, time, the sooner the better.

  Send them to Beiliu Coast outside the Silverpine Forest. I will arrange someone there. When the time is up, there will naturally be a boat to pick them up to sea.

  I am a person who emphasizes fairness in doing things, so I have to sign a work contract with them, which must be legally binding, starting at least ten years, and the salary is easy to say. "

   "That's fine, my lord."

  Jack said in a relaxed tone:

   "I've also heard about the displaced farmers. It's not that the mages in Dalaran don't want to help them, but the war on the front line is urgent, and all supplies must be given priority to the army.

   And you don't need any salary, my lord.

   Now those farmers are in such a bad way that they are willing to take any job as long as they are given food that can feed their families. If there are three or four hundred people, it is very easy. "

   "Then I'll leave it to you."

   Black smiled and said:

   "Second thing, I still need you to do me a simple favor. Can you help me deliver a letter to Master Antonidas' mage tower?"

   "Master Antonidas?"

  Jack's smile froze on his face, and the priceless high-level wand he held in his hand became hot.

   He knew.

   Such a good remuneration is definitely not easy to do.

   "What? Can't it be done?"

  Blake shook his head in disappointment and said:

   "That's a pity, I originally planned to recruit you into my faction as my recruiter after I became a master.

  It seems that your abilities are not as outstanding as I thought. "

   "No, Lord Black."

  Jack's heart was hot, he thought about it, clenched his fists and said:

"I can do it!

  Please wait a moment, I will arrange it immediately, but I can only send one letter at most. Please understand that Master Antonidas is the leader of Dalaran, and under his watch, what I can do is really."

   "It doesn't matter, a letter is enough."

  The pirate smiled again.

   He nodded to Jack and walked out of the store carrying the magic suitcase. After a few seconds, he walked back, pushed open the door, and reminded the sweaty Jack kindly:

   "The origin of the thing I gave you is a bit 'hot'. It is no exaggeration to say that with your current ability, you cannot deal with the trouble it brings.

   So, hurry up and take action.

  May you live until the next time we meet, Jack.

   If you were still alive then, I would definitely fulfill my promise. "

After   , Black turned around, put on his top hat, and quickly disappeared into the night in Dalaran, while Jack glanced at the wand in his hand that radiated a beautiful light.

   He doesn't have any headaches about shooting this thing.

   As long as you are a qualified mage, you can see the value of this wand with elven style. The best thing is that there are many people who know the goods in Dalaran.

  Jack can easily make a fortune with it.

  This also makes him feel better about losing a pony.

   That was to deliver a letter to the Dalaran leader's mage tower. It was certain that the pony who changed hands was exposed, and Jack had to be prepared in advance.

   I hope that the unfortunate person who is about to be sacrificed by the personal affairs of the big man will not be put in the Violet Prison, it is not a good place.

—

   Two hours later, at midnight.

   On the streets of Dalaran, a man in a Gilnean merchant dress and a top hat was carrying a magic suitcase and leaning on a cane.

   Roaming alone in the cold streets.

  Black felt the magic effect covering his body.

   That's an amazing feeling.

   His height has been compressed a bit, and his skin has also changed to a slightly yellowish color as he remembered.

   When he walked to the street corner not far from the Mage Tower of Archmage Antonidas, he looked left and right and sat on a bench under the lit magic street lamp.

   Putting the cane aside, he took a small mirror out of his pocket and looked at the face in front of him.

   He has black hair, dark eyes, a little fat, the bridge of his nose is a little slumped, and he has a not so lush beard. When he smiles, his eyes are always crowded together, just like an old cat.

   with a friendly face.

   "It's only been three months, I'm not used to you."

  Black touched his cheek, looked at the face in the mirror, and said to himself:

   "Hello, me."

   This face is the one from his previous life.

   It was a past that could not be found long ago, and this kind of camouflage magic could only be used to relive the old dream, which somewhat made the pirates feel a bit of sadness like a girl.

   This is an emotion that cannot be found in a pirate captain.

   This will greatly destroy the fierce and ruthless image he has been trying to create, and it will tell others that he has weaknesses! He can be bullied!

   This is a taboo for a pirate

   A magical street lamp on the streets of Dalaran lit by a white-bearded gnome mage with a pointed mage hat at night, which emits a warm light.

   It is not harsh.

   Cast a chubby shadow on the ground of Blake sitting on the bench.

   A Kirin Tor battle mage wearing a purple robe and patrolling with a staff passes by.

   He glanced warily at Black, who was sitting alone, who raised his head and gave the indifferent Battle Mage a gentle smile.

   pointed to his suitcase, and then pointed to the mage tower not far away.

  The battle mage looked back, and there was a short figure in a robe over there, walking out of the mage tower of Master Antonidas and walking towards this side.

   So the Battle Mage understood.

   This is an appointment with a mage in the city. Then he no longer put his vigilant eyes on Blake, and walked away quickly with his staff.

  Black shook his head, these Dalaran battle mages are really as vigilant as the legends, and they have the arrogance of spellcasters.

  Too stupid.

   is really unpleasant.

   But he quickly adjusted his mood and turned his head to the other side.

   On the other side of the street, Jaina Proudmoore, who was wearing a hood and covering her body and hair, was also looking at the fat businessman sitting on the bench in front of her with curious and vigilant eyes.

   She never saw him.

   But the little princess glanced at the note in her hand and took a few steps forward vigilantly.

   This note was sent to her room by a servant in the mage's tower half an hour ago, saying that a guest from afar wanted to see her.

  As the little princess of Kul Tiras, and as a genius, she studied magic under the command of Master Antonidas since she was a child. Little Jaina is very famous in both the political circle of human beings and the circle of spellcasters.

   Like this kind of "seeking to see one's name", she has always ignored it.

   But the problem is that the note sent to her at this time contains a message that she cannot ignore.

   It is precisely because of this that the little Princess Jaina sneaked out of the Mage Tower and came to meet this stranger at this midnight when all the mages were meditating.

   She is not afraid of danger.

  Little Jaina is only ten years old, but her magical talent is indeed a genius.

   If this stranger in front of her wants to hurt her, Jaina doesn't even need the help of others, she can solve most of the problems by herself, if she can't beat her

   In the mage tower behind her, there is also a very powerful "brother".

   She is not afraid.

   But there was an inexplicable fear in her heart. In a mixture of anticipation and anxiety, little Jaina held an ice staff that was more than half her height and walked quickly across the street.

   She stood five meters in front of Black.

   Holding a magic gem that can be activated at any time in his hand, with a little bit of vigilance, he stared at the businessman sitting on the bench with his big sea-blue eyes.

she says:

   "You said, you brought news about my brother?"

"Um."

  The pirate nodded and carefully looked at the little princess' cheeks. Her face was like a memory floating in her heart, without fading.

   "I brought a message, and this gift, I came to give it to you."
