Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 399 108. Knowledge is priceless, but the owner of knowledge always has a price tag

   Demon hunters are a bunch of hard-working people.

   They are all losers who lost everything in the war of the ancients, and each of them has experienced the shame of wanting revenge but being powerless in the face of the army of demons.

   It was Illidan who gathered them together.

   It was that wild man who gave them a reason to live and the power to take revenge.

   Pirates have wondered, how did Illidan make these demon hunters so loyal?

  The reason is actually very simple, in layman’s terms:

  The demons turned them into ghosts, and Illidan pulled them back to earth.

   And Eggman is very reliable, there is no gender discrimination, there are male and female demon hunters, and female demon hunters are generally better at fighting.

   are a group of real female men.

   Just like now, the demon hunter Maris Demon Calamity with two slap prints on his face, wearing a Nightborn style robe and a hood to hide his embarrassed cheeks.

   He was beaten so badly by Ilysana, who was roaming the streets of Suramar aimlessly.

   Of course, Maris, as a mature demon hunter, plus the reason why Alturis explained his decision to him before, he is not an unreasonable person.

   The reason for the "scolding and quarrel" was naturally arranged.

   A group of demon hunters who are so united together can make the Grand Magister uneasy. If they get into friction, Elisande will let his guard down.

   This little trick may not be able to hide from the Great Magister, but there is no harm in doing it.

   can also test the authenticity of the so-called "freedom of action" promise of the Grand Magister.

   Facts have proved that Elisande is indeed a person who does great things. She is very committed to her words and does not restrict the activities of the demon hunters in Suramar.

  Maris Demon Calamity left the Dark Night Fortress very easily. He was "touring" the city in his own way.

   his hometown.

  10,000 years ago, he was born here. He is very familiar with this place. Although his eyes can't see it, every time he goes to a place, the scenery here will appear in his heart.

   The city seems to have been frozen in time for 10,000 years, and nothing has changed.

   Except for the people around who are tortured by magic addiction.

   "Hey, that blind man over there! Come and help."

   Just when Maris wandered into the Yongyue civilian area and was going to see if his home was still there, he walked around a dark alley and suddenly heard a call.

   This caused a slight anger to rise in his heart.

   This city is so unfriendly!

  Will you be called blind if you wear a blindfold? What **** logic is this? Although his eyes were burned by the evil energy, his perception is sharper than most people. He can... eh?

   Something is wrong!

   The inner demon in his body is about to move, and there is a smell of fel energy around here!

   is very light, but real.

   "Are you not only blind, but also deaf? Let you come and help."

   That annoying voice sounded again, and Maris turned his head and moved his nose.

   Fel energy came from the alley. He stepped forward quickly, his hands beside him, and the warblade in the magic bag would be pulled out in an instant.

   There was also a trace of a hunter's hideous smile on his cheeks covered by his hood.

   "Laughing so terribly, be careful to scare the child, you bastard!"

   That voice sounded for the third time, and as Maris approached, something was thrown over and he grabbed it in his hand.

  A dagger-like dagger, made of magic steel, with green fel crystals inlaid on the blade, very sharp, but also has a taste that Maris is very familiar with.

   "Master Illidan's weapon? This dagger can't be wrong."

   He was taken aback.

  The perception dissipated, and I felt that there was a Child of the Night sitting on the box in front of me, but there was obviously magic disguised on him.

   "Look at you, you're a demon hunter recruit, right?"

  Blake breathed out a smoke ring, looked at the hooded elf in front of him with Kilrogg's eyes, and said:

   "I want to convey a message from Illidan Stormrage to you, can you decide? If you can't decide, go to someone who can decide.

   Tonight at midnight, I will be waiting for him at Astava Port, only thirty minutes, no waiting.

   Also, get someone stronger.

   Don't pull your hips like you do.

   With three 'tails' behind him, he dares to turn around, his heart is really big. "

After   , the pirate didn't hesitate, got up and jumped into the shadows, disappearing in front of Maris, and he didn't even ask for the Azzinoth shard he threw back.

   As for Maris Bane.

  He would be a little stunned.

   He must have known about the watcher behind him.

   But the problem is that he only found two hidden in the crowd, and the guy who suddenly disappeared in front of him told him that three people were watching him.

   Either this guy is bluffing.

  Either they were weak demon hunters who underestimated Elisande's control over the city.

   As a demon hunter, he tends to think the worst.

Maris Mozai quietly hid the dagger in his hand, covered its breath with his own fel energy fluctuations, then stretched out, picked up the magic wine under his feet from this dark alley, and turned to the other side. walked over.

  The truth is like helping, put the box of wine on the gondola boat by the opposite city waterway, then changed direction and continued to wander, and also tasted childhood pastries in a store that I remembered.

   is still the taste in memory, making the demon hunter cry with happiness.

  In the end, like a backpacker, he was content with a box of cakes he brought to his companions and went back to the Night Fortress.

—

   At midnight, the port of Astava is being rebuilt.

  There are some Nightborn workers recruited from civilians to set up a camp, which makes the port a little noisy at night. Some city guards also gather there to fight the autumn wind and drink the magic wine specially allocated to the workers.

   There are a lot of people here, so naturally there are some mixed up.

  Derlin, the leader of the gondola, will personally drive his own boat, slowly swaying the oars, and sitting on the boat is a night child elf, as if he is visiting the city.

  Derlin was careful.

   She was afraid that the "Master Assassin" behind her would be discovered by the big men in the city.

   But Blake acted very leisurely, he blocked his breath, and had the special effect of the watchman's cloak to reduce his presence. If he didn't get close, there was no way to find him.

   "Didn't you see a guest beckoning over there?"

  The pirate held a fishing rod in his hand and said to the boat girl next to him:

   "You're unqualified as a 'taxi driver'. If you don't go there, be careful when people complain that you refuse to ride."

"I"

   The cheerful Delin heard the pirates question her professionalism, and immediately wanted to explain that he was worried about being discovered by others about Black's existence.

   But at once Blake's voice was heard saying:

   "Don't be afraid, it's all agreed in advance."

  Derlin is relieved now.

   swayed the elegant leaf-shaped boat with a magic lantern hanging on the bow, and brought the guest who was wearing the robes of the Nightborne, but clearly a kaldorei elf, with a black cloth blindfold on board.

   "Well, you should be a master."

   The pirate holding the fishing rod said to the new passenger sitting next to him:

   "Much better than that rookie at noon, no one is following you behind you."

   "It's very simple. Clearing traces is the basic skill of a hunter. Maris can do it too. The reason why he didn't do it was because I told him to."

   "The Sufferer" Alturis replied in Sarasian with a slight accent, then took the Azzinoth fragment from the waist of the robe and gave it to the pirates.

He says:

   "What message does Lord Illidan want you to send us?"

   "Can't you guess? Your Excellency Commander Alturis."

  Black knew the identity of the kaldorei elf in front of him without losing his reconnaissance.

  No way, I was too impressed with this guy in the game.

   This guy will not only release a series of difficult elite tasks, but also choose to "betray" Illidan in the subsequent version. Of course, this betrayal is not worth it in terms of loyalty.

   He only had some ideological conflicts with Illidan, but his loyalty to the Illidari never changed.

  The pirates called out Alturis, who was not surprised. A foreigner who can be trusted by Lord Illidan should have the minimum ability.

   He pursed his lips and said briefly:

   "Want us to stay in Suramar with peace of mind?"

   "Well, not only that."

  Blake caught a fish, whistled, and threw the fish into the basket at hand, and said:

   "He also wants you to assist Elisande in what she wants to do. Illidan Stormrage is currently working on a covert operation, and he will call upon you at some point in the future.

   And I was his partner.

   When the time to assemble comes, I will be responsible for sending you to him. I guess Elisande is asking you to help her train Suramar's demon hunters? "

   "More than that."

   The victim sighed and said:

   "And we're going to fight for her and go to a place called Heresalas, where she says she'll find a way to make us strong again. Do you think we should trust her?

   Mr. Messenger. "

   "Don't be so divided, just call me Blake."

  The pirate waved his hand and said:

   "Go, why don't you go? I've heard about what happened in Eres Salas, and it's a good place for you.

   But what I'm more curious about now is, did the Grand Magister find a way to make her subjects who are not determined to complete the terrifying trial of the demon hunter?

   She should know that it is easy to get started with a demon hunter, but it is very scary to go deep into the power. If you can't get it right, this Suramar will become the base camp of the Burning Legion in Azeroth. "

   "That's not our concern."

   Alturis shook his head and said calmly:

   "This path of damnation was chosen by Elisande for their people, and she will bear the consequences. If it does attract demons, we will be happy instead.

   After all, a hunter without a target is nothing

   What I want to know now is what happened in Eres Salas? Elisande was sure we'd be motivated to help her, so, I guess, there's something to do with demons there? "

   "I know you all adore him, but please, don't imitate him. I've heard it so many times that I almost vomit."

  The pirate grinned and remained silent for a few seconds before saying:

   "Suramar and Erethalas are both remnant Highborne cities, and there live a group of elves who cannot live without magic.

  Suramar was lucky to find the Titan artifact, made the Nightwell, and supplied them with magic power for 10,000 years.

   But Erethras was not so lucky.

   Those Syndra elves really worked very hard to survive. Their efforts made me, such a cold-blooded pirate, sigh.

  Unfortunately, under the weight of survival, they used a less appropriate method.

   That city is about the same size as Suramar. Surama now has several million elves, but in Eresalas, if there are 500,000 or 600,000, it is already burning high incense.

   There are not only demons there.

   There are more scary and scary things, and of course tons of treasures!

   Elisande sent you there, certainly not for a good deed.

   She needs those Syndra elves to serve her, and she also needs those powerful artifacts, which are necessary for the rise of the Shaldorei that she wants to achieve in the future.

  Speaking of which, let's make a deal? "

The pirate snapped his fingers and said to Alturis:

   "Many of the treasures on Syndra's side cannot be transported through portals, and Elisande will have to take the sea to bring them back to Suramar.

   As her war vanguard, you have first-hand information.

  I don't want much.

   Just give me a ship's route once in a while.

  My incompetent and useless subordinates will take care of the rest. The information is sent to the civilian area, just find a garbage dump and throw it into it. "

"Um."

  Altrus nodded and got up to leave.

   He has received a message from Lord Illidan, and his heart has settled down. The next thing to do is to carry out the task. He had no intention to communicate more with the foreign messenger in front of him.

   Demon hunters are almost always so withdrawn.

   "Don't go in a hurry."

   As a result, he just got up and was pulled back to the boat by the pirates. Black said to Alturis:

   "You may not see it, but I'm actually a demon hunter fanatic, and I'm interested in all your information. One of the most curious questions is about your 'diabolical transformation'.

  I am also a spellcaster with a spellcaster curiosity.

   So I wonder, how on earth did you complete the demon transformation?

   Is it because of these colorful magic lines on your body? Or is there any special method that allows you to turn into a demon to fight in a short period of time? "

   "What you are asking is knowledge that only the elite demon hunters are qualified to know."

   The victim "looks" at Black.

He says:

   "I can't leak it to you, pirate, you have the smell of fel energy in you, although it is very faint, but there is also a connection between you and the devil."

   "What nonsense are you talking about?"

   Black sneered, and said:

   "I betrayed you during the war of the ancients. Although there are few hunters who have taken refuge in the demons, there are not many. The demons should know, they already know it, do you want me to list a few names for you?

   If you can share knowledge with Elisande, you can also share it with me.

  If I am not trustworthy, why did Illidan choose me to speak? Don't think too much, between me and Elisande, who should you trust, it's a simple question. "

  The pirate urged:

   "Don't waste your time, tell me, I long to know the dark knowledge.

   Just as a humble caterpillar can turn into a butterfly, a weak demon hunter can instantly become a giant exuding destruction and chaos.

  I need that knowledge, don't keep it, tell me all about it!

  If you ask for a reward, I will gladly give it to you, provided that the knowledge you give me is worthy of my generosity. "
