Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 271 90. Who is it! Dare to challenge the invincible

   At this moment when the Seven Years of Dark Portal dares to start, the world of Azeroth generally presents a "peaceful" attitude.

  In such an era, all kinds of strange and ghostly things have not yet had the opportunity to appear. Take ghosts as an example. At this time, this is still a rare thing.

  Because of various reasons, they cannot cross the curtain of life and death and go to the kingdom of the dead, and there are not many ghosts residing in the material world.

  Each one is rare.

   Ordinary people are very down-to-earth, and call these ghosts "ghosts". For example, the guy in front of him who was pressed by Black's flaming sword to his neck is a real ghost.

   "Yo, look what you found, my little master."

   In Blake's ear, Xalatas, like a ghost possessed, whispered:

   "A stinky pirate like you, but dead.

  Looking at his blue body and the sound of waves rolling in his soul, he knew that this guy must have come into contact with something weird before he died.

   He also maintained a complete soul form, not a natural death.

   Well, this thing should have something to do with some supernatural power.

  Ask him.

  If he doesn't want to say it, just hand him over to me, and I will definitely help you dig out all the secrets.

  My little master. "

   "Tell me, how did you become like this? Why didn't those winged grins take you?"

  Black ignored the temptation of Xalatas, he waved the burning long sword in his hand, and said casually:

   "Don't try to hide anything, my Captain, if you don't want to suffer."

   "Why aren't you afraid of me?"

  The blue pirate Grayson, who was suppressed by Black, was still curious. He didn't care about the magic sword in Black's hand, he just raised his head and kept his hands high.

Say:

   "Also, how do you know those silly big blue angels came to see me?"

   "Grian's angels are a group of guys who can't be idle. They will not only look for you, but also find all the souls that reside in the material world, and try to bring them into the world of the dead."

  Black stared at the ghost pirate in front of him and said:

   "Okay, I answered your question, it's time for you to answer mine. Did you come into contact with something weird before you died that caused you to be cursed like this?"

"how do you know?"

  The ghost pirate Grayson exclaimed. He looked at Blake with a strange look, rubbed his hands with anticipation, and told Blake his story without reservation:

   "I've been dead for so long that the stories of my life mean nothing to me, it was all over a hundred years ago.

   At that time, my friend Sandel and I each drove our own pirate ships, robbery in the South China Sea, and we were very free.

It's a pity, ever since that idiot Sandel yawed in a storm, smashed his head into the sand on the beach in the Westfall, and was killed by the murlocs at night, I knew that it was time for me to wash my hands and go ashore to live in peace. day. "

  This pirate lacks emotional turmoil when he talks about his past.

   As he said, it was more than a hundred years ago, there is no need to show excitement or anger, until he talked about his own death, there was a little more complaining and anger in his tone.

   "I was thinking of making the last one, saving more money, and coming to the Wild West of Stormwind Kingdom, buying a small farm, marrying two wives, having a child or something.

   The news got out somehow, and while drinking at Booty Shores, I was approached by a weird troll. "

  Greyson pushed his pirate hat and continued to say in a grumbling tone:

"I was blinded by the gold that the troll took out, and he invited me to drink a drink, so I agreed to help him find a piece of the Gurubashi troll empire in the waters of Stranglethorn Valley. relics of the period.

   is a stone.

   in the ruins of the troll flooded by the sea"

   "Okay, you don't need to say it, I probably know."

  Black waved his hand and interrupted Captain Greyson's story. He looked up and down the ghost pirate and said:

   "Have you found the 'Tide Stone' in Stranglethorn Vale? You've touched it? You're a lucky and unlucky fellow."

   "Yes, I touched that stone."

  Greyson said with a painful expression:

   "My crew were trying to persuade me not to touch the thing that looked wrong, but I was blinded by the lard and thought of taking the stone as my own.

  Because I heard the tide from the rock, I thought that thing must be controlling the water.

  If I have it, I can become the most powerful pirate and occupy the entire South China Sea route.

   But that stone cursed me.

   I was at ease for less than a year before the curse broke out.

   With every ebb and flow of the tide, I lose a part of my body.

  The body appeared and disappeared for a while, until when I was about to die, I threw the broken stone back to the place where I found it, and came here by myself in a boat.

   Certainly not for repentance or something. "

   The ghost captain spat to the side with a stubborn mouth. He looked at the sea behind him, and his tone calmed down at this moment. He said:

   "I just, in the last moments of my life, wanted to see where I was born. My friend Sandel had his bad luck because the old lighthouse wasn't lit the night he was in the storm.

  I thought, if Sandel was by my side when I touched that rock, he would definitely stop me, and I would definitely listen to him.

he died.

   So I died too.

Blame the **** beacon, its mistake ruined two of the best pirates, I don't want it to happen again. As for those big blue angels, I met them decades ago of.

   They said they could take me to another world.

   I asked them, what will happen to me when I go there?

   They told me that it was up to some arbiter to judge, but a guy like me who has done all the bad things in his life is estimated to fall into a place called the Maw and suffer forever. "

  Greyson grinned in an odd grin and said to Black:

   "If that's the case, then why should I go there?

  I'm not stupid.

  That stone gave me a curse, so that I can stay in this world for a long time, I need to do more good things, and after my goodness overcomes my evil, if I go over again, maybe I will end up in a good place. "

"You think too much."

  Black relentlessly combated the ghost pirate fantasy, saying:

   "You don't calculate the good and evil of the Shadow World. The way the arbiter decides where you go is definitely not a simple balance of good and evil. Forget it, I don't want to discuss this with you.

   See my ship? "

  The pirate pointed to the ship next to him and said to Grayson in front of him:

   "Want to continue to be a pirate? If you want, the ship will be yours, but from now on, you have to follow me!"

   "Bah!"

  Greyson, who had raised his hand in a military salute just now, jumped up immediately and shouted:

   "I was also a famous pirate in the South China Sea a hundred years ago. How old are you? You are not even thirty years old, why should I work for you? Besides, I still have to guard this lighthouse.

   In the past few years, the green-skinned orcs have occupied the western wilderness, and the tower guards have all run away. The greenskins don’t care about this sea, but I do! "

   "I can give you this."

  Black popped a gold coin from his finger and landed in Grayson's hands.

The moment    started, Captain Greyson let out a scream, and his weak ghost body quickly became solid after receiving Black's cursed gold coin.

   It was as if he had changed back from a sad ghost to a real entity.

   He snatched the jug from Black's hand, raised it, poured wine into his mouth, and looked insane, because he didn't die naturally, and after the power of death filled his soul, part of his senses returned.

   "Ah, that's what it tastes like! Nanhai Jin rum mixed with water, I think I'm going crazy thinking about this taste!"

  Greyson laughed and jumped up and down like a monkey.

   But in the next instant, Blake snapped his fingers, and the divine power of death on the cursed gold coin was withdrawn. Grayson had just enjoyed the real feeling for less than three seconds, and it quickly dissipated.

   He was back to his weak state.

   "I can replace your curse, which has begun to fade, with a stronger curse."

  Black played with a handful of cursed gold coins and said to Captain Grayson, who was eager to see:

   "You're a pirate, don't play that trick of redemption, I know you're here, there's really a small reason, because you miss your friend who died earlier than you.

   The remaining reason is that you have nowhere to go.

  You can't enter the sea, you will melt when you touch it. Don't look at me like that. I know more than you what the Tide Stone is.

  The freedom you want, only I can give you.

  Tell me, do you want to do it with me? "

   "Puff"

  Greyson got down on one knee decisively and shouted:

   "Take me across the sea, Captain! To rob, to rob, to deceive, to slaughter, and in the name of freedom, I will serve you."

"very good."

  Black raised his finger and lightly tapped the gold coin in Grayson's hand. The cursed power returned again. Amid the wild laughter of Captain Grayson, Black pointed to the ship and said:

   "Go ahead, get ready to sail, we'll leave at midnight for Tol Barad. Have you been to that place?"

   "Of course! Tol Barad, the territory of the North Sea pirates, I know."

  Greyson patted his chest and said:

   "I can drive the boat with my eyes closed."

   "The North Sea pirates were defeated by Kul Tiras' fleet forty years ago, and now they are huddled in the waters of Northrend, and they dare not come to the eastern continent at all."

  Black said quietly:

   "I believe in your sailing skills, but I don't believe in your outdated knowledge. Hurry up and make up for the current sea power."

—

   Under the night, the light of the old lighthouse shone on the sea.

  Captain Greyson is preparing for the voyage, and by the way, he tells the curious Ms. Natalie Selling some pirate stories of her own. Black rests in the lighthouse, studying curse magic with a sorcerer's tome.

   And the little murlocs were not by his side.

   Murlocs are fighting on the beach outside the lighthouse!

   This sandy beach is white, in stark contrast to the yellow hues of the Wild West, like a strip of white sand embedded around this endless coastal plain.

   In the light of the lighthouse, the beach reflects crystal light.

   Locals call this place "Long Beach".

   As you can tell from the name, this beach is very, very long, from the point where the Western Wilderness and Elwynn Forest connect, along the coastline, to the area where the wilderness and Stranglethorn blend.

   In the story of Captain Grayson, his best friend, Captain Sandel, was stranded on Long Beach during a storm and was killed by the murloc invasion.

   This proves two things:

   First, it is not suitable for long-distance voyages in stormy and rainy days.

   Two, there are murloc tribes on Long Beach, and powerful pirates powerful enough to kill an entire ship.

   Under this night, the murlocs on Long Beach gathered in piles. These local murlocs and the murlocs distributed in other areas of Azeroth were no different in appearance.

   They are all slimy, slippery bodies with long limbs, staring at the head of a big fish, walking hunched over, with bizarre spines on their backs.

   But they are a little more vicious.

   As far as the western wilderness is concerned, they have been living and multiplying here for thousands of years before human beings have reached the southern border.

   They are the oldest masters on this land.

   Tonight, the Long Beach Murloc Tribe welcomed a "challenger".

   "Mrgllllglrmgl!!"

   The current murloc leader is a guy called "Old Blind Eye" by the locals. He is all purple, and he is blind with only one left eye. He is two circles bigger than ordinary murlocs.

   It was as tall as a human teenager, and it held a rusty harpoon in its claws.

  Old Blind is the legend of Long Beach!

  The old blind eye not only killed the local farmer with his harpoon, but also killed the gnoll who was vying for territory with the murloc.

  The old blind man even brought his own warriors and attacked the orcs!

   The two orcs in the lighthouse were killed by Old Blind's sneak attack.

  Old Blind Eye is absolutely powerful, agile, violent, arrogant, and most importantly, Old Blind Eye is very cunning, and cunning is not like a murloc with an empty head.

  Old Blind Eye is the symbol of invincibility among the murlocs in Long Beach!

   This little alien murloc is doomed!
