Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 492 45. I'm just the worst of all the evil people on this island

   Tol Ballard Island is divided into north and south.

   To the north is a combined area of ​​several large islands and reefs, now occupied by pirates, snake people, proto-turtles and little stars, and the large cemetery of the Forgotten Hills.

  The Turtle people also built a small shipyard for the undead pirates next to the ruined fort they rebuilt. The equipment and everything were obtained from the goblins, and the pirates did not need to spend a penny.

   This is actually the "rent" that Black and Kojo agreed before, which is equivalent to paying taxes to the pirates, the current rulers of Tol Barad, in disguise.

   But the turtle people are actually not at a loss. At present, all transactions on the island, which have already had a few traces of anger, are all handled by them and the fox traders.

  The pirates under Black's command grabbed the money, and they all went to the tavern opened by the fox to spend.

  The loot you grabbed can be used by yourself, and if you can't use it, it will be used for identification by the well-informed ancestor tortoises.

  The collectors are happy to take things from rude pirates they don't know, and then resell them through their own channels for at least two or three times the price.

   has realized the one-stop service of identification, collection and sale of stolen goods.

  Although the pirates are very treacherous, they are so prudent that any turtle man who has lived for hundreds of years can play them to the death.

   But because on Black's site, the Ancestral Turtle did not dare to do too much, so the price given every time he collected the stolen goods was fair, and the pirates didn't have much complaints about it.

   The main thing is that if you don’t sell the things you grab to the Turtle Man, who can you sell them to?

  Especially those magic items, ordinary merchants dare not accept them. If you dare to accept them, you have to have a lot of heart to avoid being trapped. You might as well just sell them to the turtle people.

   Anyway, something really went wrong, these ancestral tortoises could run away from the monks but not the temple.

   In short, after Blake came back this time, he unexpectedly discovered that there was a lively pirate market on the North Island of Tol Barad, which made his territory look much more prosperous.

   Your Excellency the Commander is very satisfied with this.

   But how busy he is.

  Where do you have time to seek justice for the group of **** under your command who know they have been deceived but are powerless?

   After explaining things to Annie, when he went to the South Island to meet the classmates and mentors of Nar'Thalas Academy, he casually explained the orc captain Maim who was currently managing the island.

   Starting this month, the rent for the ancestral turtles will increase by 10%!

   Get more or less of the money they made from the trash pirates. The cunning tortoise people also dare not complain. He is now in a "deep cooperation" relationship with the ancestor tortoise.

  As the Hippogryph flew over the bridge connecting the central South Island and the North Island, a closed island reef surrounded by mountains appeared in front of Black.

   Unlike the North Island, which is divided into five pieces, the South Island is a whole piece of rolling "inland mountainous area", which is separated from the North Island by a strait several hundred yards long.

   There is no way to enter the interior of this mountainous area except for the bridge and the sky connected on both sides.

   is almost a perfect camp for troops.

   In fact, before the orcs invaded the northern border, this was indeed the logistical supply and recruit training ground for the Alliance Navy, and now you can still see the ruins of some burned-out military camps and warehouses.

   and the road the Alliance built here before.

   If everything goes according to the plan of the top leaders of the alliance, Tol Barad will become the strongest position against the orcs on the sea.

   However, the fact that the orcs have red dragons is beyond the consideration of all strategists, so the Tol Barad Island Front, which has been built with great effort, was ravaged by the dragon fire and fell almost overnight.

   Those otherworldly invaders stole everything they could, and then burnt everything that was left, along with the last army trapped here.

   Something tragic happened here.

   even led to a large number of resentful spirits still remaining in a large underground prison in the center of the North Island.

The first thing to do after Nartharas College chose the site was to purify those resentful spirits, and even if this work was done by powerful elf arcanes, it took more than half of the work. month time.

   From this, we can see how many resentful spirits there are on this land.

   "Dear Dean, I miss you so much."

  The Hippogryph flapped its wings, rode the wind, and landed lightly on the edge of a disgusting swamp.

  Blake jumped off his mount, spread his arms with a smile, and while he stomped a frog to death, he hugged Dean Lan Yue who was waiting in front of him.

   The dean, who pays attention to the manners of educators, does not reject the enthusiasm of the students who have returned from a long journey.

   Then Blake asked a question:

   "You want to rebuild the academy here? Whose idea came up? This underground is a big prison, who knows what disgusting things happened inside?

  The surrounding is still a slush swamp, disgusting!

  Look, there is a six-legged crocodile over there who is going to sneak over and take me as its lunch.

   Really want to choose the school site, isn't there a ruins of an iron armored military camp under the mountainous area in the north?

   How convenient and condescending. It is really impossible to go to the south. Although there is no ready-made road there, it is better than the environment.

   is good enough to raise several local mountain monsters, and if I remember correctly, there are some violent bears.

   Anyway, no matter which one you choose, it is much better than choosing in this crappy place. Well, the person who established the school here must have a hole in his head. Huh? Dean, why is your expression so ugly?

   Are you feeling unwell?

  My ship doctor also came back, do you want her to show you? "

   In the face of the pirates' greetings, Dean Arya Lanyue put away the Aluneth Scepter with a noisy laughter expressionlessly, raised his head again, and said coldly to his disciple:

   "Have you finished the homework assigned to you before leaving? Take it out and I'll check it."

   "Finished."

  Blake shrugged and handed a small package of magic test papers to the dean, thinking that it is really hard to guess the thoughts of a single woman for 10,000 years.

   He greeted him with a smile and a kind face just now, but this will turn cold as ice.

  嘁.

   It must be some stupid student in the academy who doesn't wink, and has no brains, making the dean angry again.

   Alas, education is not easy to do.

   With such emotion, he followed the dean all the way into the swamp.

   In the center of this huge mud pit, there is a stone gate that has been repaired, leading to the deep underground. There are some students of Nar'Thalas College around, under the command of the instructor, using magic to transform the swamp environment.

  The solid foundation has also been laid, and in the large construction site that has been made very dry around, there are disgraced "slaves" working everywhere.

   It's those North Sea pirates in Rogue Harbor, they've had a terrible time recently.

  Some old pirates who had seen Black saw the commander coming, and immediately dropped their shovels and hoes and rushed over howling.

  The pirates thought that there was a mischievous person trying to assassinate the Dean, and suddenly pulled out the moon blade and bravely stood by the Dean. Although all the slaves here come together, they can't hurt a single hair of the legendary mage, but they have to wink at the critical moment.

   But, these guys are not here to assassinate.

   Under the astonished gaze of the Eye of Kilrogg on Black's shoulder, the originally rebellious North Sea fanatics rushed over and knelt down in unison.

   One of the leading guys shouted sadly:

   "Captain Black, we are willing to give our all to the cause of undead pirates, our dog's life was born to serve you.

  Please keep us and continue to be pirates!

  Wherever you tell us to rush, we will rush there, shattering our bodies and shattering our bones for nothing in return. "

   While howling, this guy crawled over and tried to kiss Black's muddy boots, only to be kicked away by the pirates.

   "Isn't it disgusting, you guys."

   Black cursed.

   He manipulated his magical eyeballs to look around, and he found that except for those Gilnean sailors who were just captured a few days ago, they were a little rebellious, and the other slaves were looking at him eagerly.

   These guys are all skinny and out of shape, and the pirates looking at them are astonishing.

   He turned back and said to Dean Lanyue:

   "Dean, don't you feed these guys?"

   "Yes. Speaking of which, you humans are really fragile,"

   Dean Lanyue, who was checking Black's homework, said without looking up:

   "We haven't eaten for 10,000 years, and we can continue to exist. As a result, they can't work after ten days of starvation. They are really trash."

   "I'm hungry once every ten days, and I have to work every day? That's all, you still think they are vulnerable?"

  The pirate widened his mouth and pursed his lips again. He said with emotion:

   "I thought I was the most wicked thing on the island. Now I'm done, Master, my little wickedness is the younger brother to you Highborne.

  What, these guys' 'reform through labor' looks like it's time to end.

  I let them go, okay? "

   "They let them go, who will do the work of digging the foundation?"

   Dean Lanyue lowered his head, summoned a magic pen, made a big red cross on a grammatical error in a test paper, and continued to say without raising his head:

   "How about you and the pirates under your command do it?"

   "Simple, there are few other things on the Eastern Continent, and there are plenty of slaves."

   Black pouted and said:

   "I've already sent someone to talk to the Gilneas people. After a while, there may be many green-skinned war criminals who are disgusted by dogs. You can call them whatever you want, and you won't feel bad if you're exhausted.

   But this is a bit tricky, it's official after all.

   It would be even better if we could have a good relationship with Dalaran and correct the name of our academy. "

   "Okay, then you take them away."

   Dean Lan Yue replied without raising his head.

  Black looked back at the group of pirates in front of him, he said coldly:

   "After finishing today's work, I will go to the South Island to report to Annie.

   You all know her, and she will be your commander from now on. You **** have to be incorporated into the fourth-class pirate Marun commando. Only those who can survive a battle are eligible to join my command.

   I don't keep trash in my fleet.

   You did the wrong job over there, and I don't want your lives, so go back and dig soil, do you understand? "

  Because of Black's scolding, a group of pirates cried out in tears, but they didn't dare to howl loudly, for fear of angering the demon-like arrogant elf overseers beside them.

   They shouted long live Black.

   But the pirates ignored them and followed Dean Lanyue into the original Palatine Prison.

   The Palatine Prison existed when Black, uh, Drake was a kid.

  In peacetime, this was the place where all kinds of felons and political prisoners were exiled from various countries in the northern Xinjiang. It was famous for its internal chaos and cruel atmosphere.

At its peak, this prison housed nearly 3,000 hopeless scumbags, but there were fewer than 300 guards.

  No one cares about the life and death of those scumbags, and even the prison door is always open all year round.

   Anyway, with the terrain of the South Island, even if the criminals escaped, they would never be able to escape.

  The best end for them is to escape into the forest and become savages, but most of the criminals who escaped end up becoming a stinky mountain monster poop.

   Those "ogres" native to Azeroth eat everything.

   Thus, the Palatine Prison has been the most famous "landscape" of Tol Barad in the past years, and it has become a vicious tale of scaring children in countless people's legends.

   Even the children in Stormwind Kingdom have heard of the "good reputation" of the Palatine Prison.

   And in Kul Tiras, the prestige of the Palatine Prison is not so great, because Kul Tiras has the famous Toldago Black Prison.

   That's a real ghost place.

   The stories about there can’t be told in ten days and ten nights.

   Even with Black's current power, he didn't even plan to rob Toldago Black Prison to recruit pirates' subordinates, so you can see the danger and madness of that place.

   Now, Narsalas Academy has decided to transform this huge underground prison like a small city into the main teaching place of the academy, and the internal transformation is naturally the responsibility of a special person.

  When Black walked down the next floor, he also saw the two dwarf warlocks of the Sparks, who were working together to paint a sculpture of "The Hermit" Maitrie.

The    elves kept this place clean.

   At the central big circle, several mentors were sketching a huge magic circle on the ground that made Black's eyes dizzy. Upon seeing it, the pirate suddenly realized:

   "Ah, no wonder you chose to build an academy in this ghost place.

   This is the center of the Leyline in the waters near Tol Barad, I'm so stupid. Such a genius idea must only be thought of by a wise spellcaster like you, Dean. "

   "Stop talking nonsense."

   Dean Blue Moon finally finished checking Black's homework.

   She threw the seven erroneous test papers to the pirates, and leaning on her Aluneth staff, she said to the pirates:

   "The homework is well done. It seems that you put your heart into it. This is the attitude you should have when studying magic. Come on, come with me, your research topic has already progressed."

   "Which one?"

  Blake experienced a lot of things in one trip, and he didn't react for a while.

   As a result, the dean glared back, and Ms. Lanyue pushed her crystal glasses and said:

   "Which one could it be?"

   "The imagination you put forward, the high-level warlock magic 'Devil Transformation Charm' has been roughly designed, you prefer to call it 'Demonization', right?

follow me.

   There is also the last bit of modification of the magic pattern and spell model, which needs to be done by you.

   And, since we have come, we have come. "

   Dean's lens flashed a cold light, she said:

   "Just today, it's up to you to do the first test of the "magic" spell. What are you doing with a bitter face? This is dedicated to the exploration of magic, and it is the glory of a spellcaster.

  If you dare to run, I will activate the binding magic here!

   That magic circle is not perfect, and I don’t know how much it can restrain your body, maybe one third, maybe half, maybe we should test it?

   Come here!

  Stupid student! "
