Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 297 6. Old thing, you are the most generous--[1135]

   (additional [1/5] for the Assassin Gilu Brothers)

   In the second half of the night, the rain in Keel Harbor was heavier.

   is like a splash, falling from the sky to the ground in the dark night, making a ticking sound. No one would go out in such weather, especially tonight.

  Because in addition to the torrential rain blocking the road, there are also Gilneas sailors who are constantly haunting in the rain.

   They shuttled through this small military port town in groups, and the shouts of the soldiers could be heard from far away.

There are also local sheriffs, holding umbrellas in the rain this night, and bringing their militiamen to door-to-door inquiries, but they are vague, just asking each frightened duty person if they have seen it. Strangers haunt the neighborhood.

   This must be something big.

   The dullest residents are aware of this, and they are happy to help the sheriffs, but unfortunately, they have not seen any suspicious strangers.

   The futile search continues.

  The colonel in command of the sailors was sweating profusely in the heavy rain. The soldiers under his command had turned over the Keel Harbor, but they could not find any traces of Queen Mia and several children.

   If he went back to report like this, he would definitely be hacked to death by the angry and restless King Jean.

  The king is still waiting in the naval port.

   He has to get some information to go back and cross, even the most trivial information.

   "Huh? Why is the chapel still lit!"

  The colonel in the rain soon discovered a strange place. During the rainstorm, he shouted to his soldiers:

   "Go check there! Be polite to the priests, but don't let go of a suspicious place."

  The soldiers immediately rushed towards the chapel that was still lit in the middle of the night. They rushed up, pushed open the door of the chapel, and poured into the church.

  This place is not big, you can see the hall clearly at a glance.

   It is impossible to hide people.

   But a local soldier found something wrong. He whispered a few words to his disappointed superior, and the colonel immediately became vigilant. He held the sailor knife at his waist and strode to the front of the church hall.

   shouted to the priests:

   "You are not the original priest of this church, where are you from? Why did you come to Keel Harbor at this time? Where is your identification?"

  As the colonel questioned, the soldiers under his command had already taken out ropes and shackles. If these priests could not answer, they would be arrested and tortured.

  Perhaps from them, the colonel can get the news that he will be free from guilt.

   But a few priests were not panicking.

   The priest in his thirties, headed among them, had a serious expression, whispered to the colonel unsmilingly, and walked to the corner with him.

   took out another letter from his pocket and handed it to the colonel.

   The latter unfolded it in his hand, and was immediately taken aback.

   Not to mention the contents of this letter, there are four seals at the bottom alone, the two most conspicuous are the seals from the Privy Council of the Church of the Holy Light, and the personal seal of Alonsos Fao.

   The remaining two are seals from the Cathedral of the King City of Gilneas.

   and the royal seal of King Jean Greymane.

   These four things represent that the priests in front of them are of great background, and the colonel is sweating again on his forehead. He feels that when he has not solved the troublesome matter at hand, he has been involved in another major event.

   As for whether it was fake or not, the colonel didn't even think about it.

   "Tonight's affairs, please keep it a secret, Your Excellency."

   The unsmiling priest in front of him took back the letter and said to the colonel:

   "You can leave the soldiers outside the church, we will stay until noon tomorrow, you have enough time to verify our identity.

   Now, please leave with your soldiers, there are important conversations to continue. "

   "Okay, everyone."

Colonel    wiped the sweat from his face and bowed slightly to the priests.

   turned around and yelled at his soldiers to exit the church. But he also kept an eye on it, and let a team of soldiers guard here, and went to the military port to confirm their identities.

"boom"

  The door of the chapel was closed by the soldiers who had withdrawn. The gloom and cold brought by the rainstorm in the dark night were dispelled by the fire of the burning fireplace in the church, and the sound of the storm was not heard.

   Here it becomes peaceful again.

   "I've made it clear in my letter to the church, don't pick a place that seems to be confidential, but others can see the problem at a glance.

   But you just don't listen.

   I’ve probably watched a lot of operas, and I feel like this is a secret mission today.”

  Blake's complaining voice appeared in the candlelight of the church, and he walked out of the shadow under the candlelight, carrying a black magic suitcase in his hand.

  The pirate was wearing a night killer suit, with only one pair of eyes showing on his body. Because of the existence of the face covering, his voice was a little gruff.

   In front of him, the unsmiling priest said warmly:

   "It's really a covert operation about a monster that can wreak havoc and the whereabouts of one of our most prominent sisters.

   And we come here, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the church and the crown, and we can't be too careful.

  Things should have gone well tonight, Lord Black.

   I have also been to Keel Harbor, a small and peaceful city, where no major incidents have occurred for many years, but tonight, these disturbed soldiers were hunting down in the rain.

   This may be because a dangerous person like you came here. "

   "Well, the priests of the church can really speak well."

   The pirate who stayed in the dark snorted, put the suitcase in his hand on the preaching table under the church icon, and pushed it towards the priests standing opposite the candlelight.

   The box was held down by the priest and opened again.

   In the next instant, a dark magic spread out in this small church, turning into a cold wind, blowing the candles lit everywhere in the church and swaying.

"Snapped"

The   box was closed again, and several priests immediately recited the scriptures. A warm and holy light shone in their hands, leaving several seals of holy light on the black suitcase.

   "Be careful, priests."

  Black sat on the wooden chair beside him, and in the dark told the priests in front of him:

   "You'd better take it back to Light's Hope Chapel immediately, and suppress it with the help of the holy relic of light that the church has just found. I hope this thing will not appear in the human kingdom again.

   But I also know that such an evil thing is not willing to dormant, and it may create appalling disasters after a few years of silence.

   Tell His Majesty the Pope for me.

   Next time if something goes wrong, don't call me again.

   I don't want to deal with it anymore. "

   "Thank you for your efforts, Mr. Black."

   The serious-faced priest put the suitcase properly into the large box with the Holy Light scripture engraved behind him, locked it, and hung the key around his neck.

   He recited the scriptures softly and asked again:

   "So, Natalie Selling."

   "She doesn't want to go back."

   Black said succinctly:

   "She has found a new home and is planning to start a new life. She has a letter, please forward it to His Holiness the Pope, and everything she wants to say is in it."

  The pirate handed out a letter, and the priest took it in his hand and glanced at it. On the envelope was Natalie's signature and seal, proving that she was still alive.

   This gave the priest a sigh of relief and seemed to let go of some worry in his heart.

   He took a box from the squire behind him, handed it to Black, and said:

   "His Holiness the Pope guessed this result. Before we set off, he gave a holy relic of the Holy Light that he had collected for many years as a parting gift to his disciple Natalie Celine.

   In this box, there is also a compliment from the church for your trip to thank you for your contribution to the cause of the Light. "

  Blake is not polite.

   After he took the box, he opened it in his arms. There was a strange gem on the top of the box, emitting a warm and holy light in the dark, slightly illuminating the darkness around the pirate.

  Blake picked up the gem and put it in his hand, there was light flowing on the surface of the gem, like a moving eyeball, no matter which direction he looked at, the eyeball seemed to be staring at him.

   This doesn't look like a good thing.

   After all, eyeballs, right, always have something to do with some weird stuff.

   But the eyeball gem in Black's hand didn't have any filthiness.

   Instead, it was imbued with a clean, holy feeling, and the pirate stared at that eyeball, and after a few seconds, he seemed to see a vision.

   A slender figure stood on a piece of scorched earth. She constantly swayed holy light around to heal the wounded and attacked the demons surging around with holy power.

   But no matter how hard she tried, the comrades around her still fell one by one, and no matter how many demons she defeated, there would always be more monsters rushing out of the green vortex.

  The back of that woman is an elf. From the clothes on her body, it can be judged that this should be a night elf priest, maybe a priest of the moon.

  When the pirate held this gem, the character card immediately gave the entry:

   Holy Eye

  Epic Quality 【Manufacturing Materials】

  Item Description:

   It is a relic from the War of the Ancients, gifted by the High Elves to the Church of the Light, and eventually in the hands of Faol. It's a relic, but human priests have yet to find a way to use it.

  Fao handed it over to his disciples, hoping that the will of the sages to save could accompany his disciples in the light and shadow, so that she would not lose her direction again.

   "There are so many sacred objects in the Church of the Holy Light, but only one incomplete one is given. Should I say that you are stingy, or should I say that you are unreasonable."

  Black threw the Holy Eye in his hand and complained to the priests in front of him.

   but did not respond to him.

   He looked at the second thing in the box again, it was a set of folded robes, black, dotted with red patterns, and in the naked eye, it also carried an undisguised evil aura.

  Especially the shape of this robe, on the cloth shoulder armor, there are erected spikes, as well as the skull carved with animal bones, and black chains as the decoration of the hood.

   This is certainly not something priests would wear.

  Black raised his head and looked at the priest in front of him, who explained:

   "This is an evil creation captured by the warriors of Stormwind City from an orc high-level warlock during the first orc war. It was sealed in the warehouse of the Church of the Holy Light and has already entered the destruction process.

   But His Majesty knew that Lord Black walked on the path of a warlock, so he deliberately took it out as a reward. "

"Um"

  The pirate nodded, reached out and touched the robe, and the character card also gave the entry:

   Corruptor's Vestments

  Epic Quality [Warlock Exclusive]

   Integrity: 5/5

   Suit properties:

   Extraordinary Stamina. Extraordinary Intelligence. Extraordinary Magic Precision. Extraordinary Magic Crit

   Greatly strengthens your curse and shadow spells, and the magic effect is regarded as proficiency +1.

   "I take back what I said before, because I was too arrogant. I don't know anything about the generosity of the Church of the Holy Light."

  Black closed the wooden box with a snap.

   He stood up, rubbed his hands and said to the priest in front of him:

   "Please tell His Majesty Faao for me, I am very satisfied with this salary, and next time there is a similar job, please be sure to find me. My incompetent men and I will do our best to serve the Holy Light.

   Also, you look like an important person, I haven't asked your name yet, which is very rude. "

   "I'm just a humble believer of the Light, my position and status are not important."

   The priest in his thirties made a religious symbol on his chest, and he said calmly:

   "Your Excellency may call me Ethan Lien.

   Please send my best wishes to our most extraordinary sister, Natalie, as I wish her a new life beyond the Holy Light. "

—

   "Ethan Lien?"

  Fifteen minutes later, in a dark alley outside the Keel Harbor Naval Port, Natalie Selin, who was playing with the Divine Eye, handed Black an oiled paper bag with a chart in her hand.

   she said softly:

   "That's a nasty fellow. He was the one who exposed my connection to Xal'atath to His Highness Fao. He was a fanatic of faith, but Xal'atath warned me to stay away from him.

  She said that Ethan Lien had been led by blind holiness into a dangerous path, he tried to become the embodiment of the light, but sooner or later he would do something crazy. "

   "Well, that's right, I hate him too, the poser."

  Blake nodded in agreement, and then touched his new Corruptor's vest, holding Gul'dan's skull in the dark, posing for a pose, and said to Natalie:

   "Look at me, am I handsome?"
