Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 296 5. My family is rich, can you be my bodyguard? --【1035】

   (addition to Czh666 brother [5/5])

   "Master Black, what you said just now is dangerous."

   When Black stepped into the tavern, Moros, who appeared like a ghost, said beside the pirate:

   "When you were instilling that dangerous thought on Lord Jack, it reminded me of what Master Medivh said to himself in the meditation room. Are you really going to turn the Uncrowned into the dangerous organization you imagined?

  You know, such thoughts are horribly incendiary.

  You lit a fire with your own hands, and if Jack survives tonight, the flames will spread across the continent.

  You can't control the direction of this fire either.

   Maybe, it will burn to you in the future. "

   Moros' words were filled with worry.

   As the only surviving survivor after experiencing the "Karazhan Massacre", Moros has enough reason to worry that his second master will follow the same path as his first master.

   "If I told you that I didn't intend to control the fire at all, would you beat me?"

   Black yawned and said to Moros:

   "What do I just say, Ravenholdt is too boring, a group of assassins obviously have the ability to do big things, but they have to be satisfied with taking tasks to make money.

   They can be eagles, but they have to live like mice.

  As a member of the Assassins, I am very dissatisfied with this. I just want to inject some vitality into my colleagues. I just want to make this rotten organization reborn from the ashes.

   Their vision limits their greatness, I want to make Ravenholdt great again. "

  Moros fell silent.

   After a few seconds, he said:

   "His Excellency 'Duke' probably won't agree with you."

   "I do things, do I need his consent?"

  The pirate snorted and said:

   "If you are really dissatisfied, you can come to the sea and talk to me in person. Besides, His Excellency the Duke is a very wise commander, and he will see the meaning of the existence of the Uncrowned.

   No one dares to laugh at assassins, my butler.

  Whether it is a warrior or a paladin, whether it is a mage or a priest, they must learn to fear us.

   If they can't learn. Hehe.

  Think of something beautiful, my butler, countless assassins will regard me as an idol, and young people who are just beginning to step into the shadows will take every word I say as their life creed.

  When I call upon them, countless daggers will willingly fight for me.

   Just because, I will give them back their dignity. "

   As he spoke, Black threw the last Hidden Blade in his magic bag to Moros and said:

   "Tonight will be the trial of the Uncrowned, not only Jack, but also you, my butler. Bring the hidden sword that symbolizes your identity, and then go to complete your trial."

   Moros, the undead assassin, hesitated, holding the Hidden Blade in his hand.

   he asked:

   "Then, Master Black, what is the content of my trial?"

"Um"

  Black rubbed his chin, thought about it, and said:

   "I heard that the chocolate cake made with Gilneas white cheese is a must for travelers. So, in 30 minutes, can you prepare a cake for me and my guests?"

  Moros froze for a moment.

   He thought Black would let him assassinate the mayor of Keel Harbour, or the general of the naval port or something.

   But after a second, the undead steward suddenly laughed and put the Hidden Blade on his left hand. He leaned over Blake gracefully and said:

   "Of course, your needs are my goals. Please wait a moment, I will go to prepare immediately."

   "Well, by the way, get some Keel Harbor flavored sparkling wine."

   Black said to the butler:

   "Bring me some more juice, there are kids here, they can't drink."

   After finishing speaking, the pirate took out the Orb of Deception, shaped his original image, picked up a Gilnean top hat from the side, and put it on his head.

  Speaking of which, this tall hat has almost become a symbol of Gilneas.

  In this country, from the kings and nobles to the common people, they all like this kind of top hat. Men wear black top hats, and women wear more beautiful small hats.

   They will also embellish the hat to symbolize different class identities.

  The recognition of this thing is as obvious as the gentleman's clothes decorated with flowers and coat of arms that the Gilnean people also like to wear. In the entire seven human kingdoms, only Gilnean people can dress like this.

   They are proud of it.

   Considering Gilneas is a dreary and rainy country, it is understandable that they chose this fashion trend.

  The three children in the second-floor room were all covered in blankets, sitting by the burning fireplace, the night rain outside the window was pouring more and more, and the chaotic footsteps from the street could be heard.

   Those are the soldiers in the naval port, searching the whole city.

   "Why can't we go down and find Uncle Jean?"

   When Blake pushed the door and came in, he heard the black-haired girl by the fireplace asking the queen who was lying on the bed. After first aid and antidote, the queen's injury was better.

   But it will still be pale.

   Facing the little girl's question, Queen Mia showed a difficult smile and said to the child:

   "Lona, be good, put a fire in the house first, and I'll take you home early tomorrow morning."

   Her Majesty the Queen understands very well.

   It is probably not the first time that he has been assassinated, and the response process is very professional.

   Go down and identify the soldiers now, who knows what will happen?

  Assassins can launch an assassination attempt at Keel Harbor, and they can also know the route of the queen's carriage. Obviously, there is high-level intervention. In this case, the best way is to stay in this place with Ravenholdt background until dawn.

   "Yo boys, I'm Dr. Black and I've been invited to treat this lady."

  As the door was pushed open, Blake, wearing a top hat and carrying a medicine box, stepped into the room where Queen Mia and the children were.

   He also pretended to put a monocle on himself.

   Seeing the doctor coming, the queen smiled, and the little prince Liam was relieved. The six-year-old sister Tess, who was in his arms, was already asleep in front of the warm fireplace.

   But Lorna Crowley, who had been staring at him, sniffed suddenly as Blake walked back and forth, and then stretched out his hands to block in front of the queen.

   "No! You are not a doctor!"

   The little black-haired girl shouted to Blake fiercely:

   "You are the one just now! The one who dragged us to the roof."

"Um?"

   This made everyone in the room stunned.

  Blake even narrowed his eyes.

   The camouflage effect of the Orb of Deception is not omnipotent, as the pirates knew when they got it, but it was a magical camouflage anyway, so it would be fine if it was seen through by high-level spellcasters.

  How could even a little girl up to eight or nine years old be able to see through this camouflage technique?

Hey.

  Miss Lorna Crowley, I know that you have inherited the fine blood of your legendary warrior father, and you will become a very powerful hunter general in the future.

   But, if you are so young, can you learn to hang up?

   "You have a very strange fishy smell on you."

  Little Rona screamed:

   "I smelled it just now. It's not an ordinary fishy smell. It's not bad. I smell it once and I won't forget it."

   "Yes, Rona's nose is as sharp as a puppy's."

   The ten-year-old little prince Liam immediately said a word to her, and drew out the ceremonial dagger from his waist to protect his mother.

   But his words that were supposed to be compliments were punched back by the fierce little sister Rona.

   "Who are you calling a puppy!"

   Seeing that the two children were about to fight, the queen lying on the bed sighed helplessly. She looked at Blake, who shrugged and dispelled the magic disguise.

   Fortunately, the helmet of the Night Killer's battle suit is concealed enough, with only one pair of eyes exposed, and he can't see his face at all.

   He picked up the little murloc who was poking his head in the pocket of his belt with two fingers. It was the smell of this little thing that Rona could smell.

   But to be honest, Liam is really not exaggerating when he said that Rona has a dog nose.

  Bumblebee loves cleanliness very much, and this little murloc has no smell at all.

   At least Blake couldn't smell it.

   worthy of being a good hunter in the future, a young boy has such a talent.

  The pirate smiled and threw the murloc aside. Murlocs are not uncommon, and they are also found on the coast of Gilneas, but this is the first time the two children have seen such a cute little murloc.

   They immediately walked over to the murloc and tried to touch it.

   But the little fishman stared wide-eyed, pulled out his downgraded Devil Strike with a squeak, and waved it twice in the air, successfully forcing the two human cubs back.

   "Then, Her Majesty the Queen, since I made a mistake and was seen through my identity, then I will not be polite."

  Blake opened the chair and sat in front of the queen. He looked at Queen Mia in front of him and asked in a low voice:

   "With your wisdom, what do you think of tonight's assassination?"

   "It wasn't an assassination. They wanted to kidnap me and the kids to threaten my husband."

The queen    leaned against the head of the bed and whispered:

   "The reason why this happened is probably related to Marshal Lothar and the rumored 'Emperor's Sword'.

   Gilneas was involved in the Orc War. Our country's interests are not the same as other countries. When there is a threat from Orcs, we can unite with other countries.

   But the war is over and the conflict will manifest.

  Gene is reluctant to get involved in matters related to Marshal Lothar, and my husband doesn't even agree with the concept of 'alliance'.

   But obviously there are people, either domestically or abroad, who want Gene to get involved.

  Thank you for your help tonight, Master.

   Without you, my husband would be extremely passive.

   will even affect the future of this country. "

   "Well, your analysis is very reasonable. As expected, you are a wise 'virtuous queen'. His Majesty Jean is really lucky to have you by his side."

   Black nodded and said:

   "But I have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of Gilneas. I have only one request to meet with you. Please keep the events tonight, including the existence of this tavern, confidential.

  You will get the kindness of the Uncrowned, but if you break the promise”

"Will not."

  Queen Mia shook her head and promised to say:

   "The Gilnean people have a clear grievance. Master, no one else will know what happened tonight. These children are very smart. I will persuade them to keep it a secret."

"very good."

  Black stood up, nodded to the queen, and was about to leave.

   But after taking a few steps, she saw little girl Rona quickly following. The black-haired little girl blinked, looked up at Blake, and said with her hips on her back:

   "Hey, you look great, much better than my father's guards, can you be my captain? I'll give you a lot of money."

   "Rona! Come back."

   Her Majesty the Queen, who was calm just now, clenched her fists in fright when she heard Rona's words.

   This silly child has no idea who she is talking to.

   Although she doesn't know much about Ravenholdt, Queen Mia can understand the meaning of the word "master", which represents a power that transcends identity and class, as well as good and evil.

  Black waved his hand to the queen, indicating Tong Yan Wuji.

   He squatted down and looked at Lorna Crowley in front of him. He looked at this fierce-tempered little girl in front of him and recalled what this girl would do in the future.

   He chuckled and whistled, calling out the reluctant ghost wolf Frostpaw.

   When the spirit beast appeared beside Black, the two children, including the queen, were taken aback, but Rona's eyes lit up immediately.

   She stretched out her hand, ignorantly trying to touch the ghost wolf's head, but was caught by Black.

  The pirate said to the little girl in front of him:

   "Is my wolf pretty?"

"Uh-huh!"

  Rona nodded fiercely, her eyes shining and said:

   "I love it! The crest of our family is a wolf as powerful as it is, but the wolves in Gilneas were killed early on"

   "If you can find an identical wolf in the future."

  Black rubbed the little girl's head and said:

   "I promised to be your escort. You are very talented, Lorna Crowley, and you will be one of the best hunters in the world. When your father returns, you can discuss it with him.

  Warrior's Way is not for you, but I can find a good teacher for you. "

   He took out a bat-shaped, nasty flying knife from his waist, put it in Rona's hand, and said to the little girl in a whisper:

   "If you're willing to try the fun of hunting, take it with you, go to Lordaeron, and find a fellow named Nathanos. But you have to promise me that you can't tell anyone else about it.

  If you make a blunder, don't ask me to be your escort. "
