Azeroth Shadow Trail

  Chapter 501 54. Yo, here comes the stinky pirate dug out of the corner

   Not to mention the contact between the Explorers Association and the antiquities dealers, but the Sacred Relics Association did not want to regard dwarves and black market merchants as "adversaries" at all.

   They take the "high end route".

   After arriving on the island ahead of schedule, he did not go to see things on the Alpaca. Instead, Taeseran Bloodwatcher himself, along with several senior members of the society, came to visit Blake Shaw, the fleet commander.

   To put it bluntly, after knowing that pirates have really good things in previous contacts, elven archaeologists are no longer satisfied with those ordinary artifacts and magic items.

   To be more direct, although both sides rely on archaeology to find lost knowledge.

   But the dwarves are real archaeology, while the elves use archaeology as a means, and the essence of what they seek is power.

   "What a strange and rare thing."

In the center of Losberg Town, in a small castle that is not luxurious at all, but fully functional, the leader of the Society of Sacred Relics, the legendary mage His Excellency Taeseran, is looking obsessively at the head-sized wizard in his hand. King's stamp.

  This thing is a ring made of stone.

   But its model is clearly not intended for normal-sized humanoids. The stone itself is also quite peculiar, the appearance is very smooth, and the uneven surface seems to be a symbol printed with some kind of text.

This will be with Tatheran Bloodwatcher's extremely high magical attainments, after adjusting his magic power to a special frequency and the mark in his hand to create a magical resonance, one after another extremely pure arcane light spot, just like the wind. The mark circulated around.

   It was projected with some kind of textured information, but unfortunately, the elves present could not understand it.

   "This is ogre text."

   The pirate sitting on the golden chair opposite Taeseran was smoking a pipe and breathing a smoke ring. In the blazing fire of the fireplace in front of him, he showed the attitude of an elegant scholar.

   In a gentle tone, he said to the elf mage who was dressed luxuriously and had a sin'dorei golden staff by his hand:

   "It's the kind of ogres you've seen in the Orc Wars, the goofy big men who charge with the Horde's orcs. They're rude, stupid, and stupid.

   But they also have their own empire, in the world of Draenor.

  The empire established by the ogre had a very glorious era, but unfortunately, before the orcs drank the fel energy and destroyed the world, that empire was annihilated in history. "

   "Do you understand these words?"

   Taeseran held the seal of the Sorcerer King in his hand, and the attendant behind him quickly recorded the strange patterns projected by the arcane light with his pen. The archaeological leader of the elf looked at the pirate with a surprised look.

He says:

   "We captured ogres in the war. Those brutish and stupid creatures don't even know these words. After all, as you said, their civilization has come to an end.

   Forgive my curiosity, where did you learn this knowledge? "

   "You should have seen on the island, I have some orc minions."

   Black said nonsense:

"And there is a clan mixed with ogre in the orc clan, called Mok'Natha, and the ogre language is also one of their clan scripts. Lord Taeseran does not need to try to translate these lines, I can tell you now its meaning.

   This is a poem describing the fall of the capital of the Ogre Empire and the transfer of the Empire to Highmaul.

   Well, yes, ogres also write their own poetry, which is surprising, right?

  It's a pity that you can't read it, otherwise you will surely cry for the beautiful words in this poem and the tragic ending it depicts. "

   There is a bit of irony in this sentence, and Tasseran, the elf, of course heard it.

   He waved his hand and stopped the attendant behind him to stop the recording. He stroked the mark of the Sorcerer King in his hand, and felt the shocking arcane power fluctuations emanating from it.

   The expression of this legendary wizard became serious, he put the mark back on the table between the two, and said seriously:

   "I have seen the knowledge behind this mark. To be honest, Lord Black, I am here for it."

   "Well, I just like you guys with big decisions."

  The pirate also sat up straight and put down his pipe. He wore a red eye patch, so he couldn't see the change in his eyes clearly, but a smile appeared on his face. He said:

"Then I think you must have brought the reward we agreed to before. Did Prince Kael'thas agree to give up his collection? Or did you persuade the Sun King to exchange Solidar Starfury for me? "

   "Since you have entered the negotiation stage, don't blame me for speaking directly."

   Taeseran shook his head and said:

   "The knowledge represented by this seal is indeed shocking, but it is only a key to unlock the treasure house of knowledge, and we have to send an expedition to the world of Draenor to find knowledge.

  This is impossible when the Dark Portal has been closed, so the value of your seal is not as great as you think. "

   "It's okay for you to deceive people who don't know how to do it, but to be honest, I'm actually a spellcaster. Although I'm a warlock, I'm also involved in arcane magic."

   Black said with a sneer:

   "The Dark Portal represents the largest space rift between the two worlds.

  The orcs built it for the passage of large armies, but if large-scale entry and exit between the two worlds is not considered, it can be done even without the Dark Portal.

  The dimensions of the two worlds have been torn apart once, and there are many small cracks around the Blasted Land.

   With the help of those small chasms, your expedition can easily traverse to Draenor. If the casters of Quel'Thalas can't even do that, then I strongly question your professionalism.

   As for the knowledge of rune magic of the Ogre Empire, this really requires you to go deep into the Nagrand Steppes of Draenor and search for those spellbooks made of Apexis crystals in the ruins of Highmaul.

   But let me say so. "

  The pirate pointed to the big seal and said:

   "This thing can only be passed between the magical rulers of the ogre empire, and it can flow to Azeroth, which proves that the most powerful head of the ogre empire is dead.

   Only the last of the ogre nobles remained in Highmaul.

  You don't even need to send out an army, led by a legendary spellcaster, bring some Phoenix mages and Phoenix guards, and you can easily get in there.

   An entire empire has hidden civilizations and treasures at your disposal.

  I am indeed giving you a key, but it is not just a key to knowledge. To be honest, if I hadn't had the time to travel to Draenor right now, I would never have sold this to you.

   So, Lord Taeseran, don't haggle with me, I say it's worth so much, it's definitely worth it! "

   Seeing that Taeseran was about to refute, Blake stretched out his hand and said in a low voice:

   "Why do I have to sell it to you?

  You need that knowledge!

The    ogre's magic system is based on the use of Apexis crystals. They developed a unique 'stone magic', well, don't mind the naming, I'm a rough guy and can't think of such a wonderful name.

  You know what it means.

   Their spellcasters can craft a Philosopher's Stone similar to this sigil out of Apexis crystals and unique elemental stones, the core of their magic system.

   This is similar to your Reno Bandir enchantment in Quel'Thalas.

  If I remember correctly, the secret of Reno Bandir's enchantment has been cracked once by the great warlock Gul'dan when the orcs invaded before.

   He used the runestones he stole from you to create a group of powerful two-headed ogres. I have seen those savage and smart guys with my own eyes.

   Where do you think he learned this secret technique?

   In addition, your runestones can be used in ogre rituals, which means that the ogre's magic system can also be used to strengthen your enchantment.

   That's the main reason you came here today, right? Lord Taeseran. "

   The eye of Kilrogg floating on the pirate's shoulder noticed the change in the elf's indifferent expression, he chuckled lightly and said:

   "The Sacred Relic Society says it's a civil organization, but it's actually a paramilitary organization of Quel'dorei. The goal of all your actions is to strengthen Quel'Thalas as much as possible.

  You are not a mercenary cultural relic dealer.

  You are the spokesperson sent by the Sun King and the personal treasurer of the Sunstrider family. The vast majority of the money you and your relics earn is spent on the military realm of Quel'Thalas.

  Look, I really know all about you, but you know nothing about me.

  I guess, the Sun King must have ordered you, and you are determined to obtain this mark of mine. It is related to the re-enhancement of the ancient Reno Bandier enchantment.

   For you Quel'dorei, this is a matter of the safety of the kingdom.

   So find a reason to bargain or something, forget it. "

  Black picked up the pipe again, and he once again took the initiative with his own "prophecy". In the first ray of smoke, he said to the silent Tatheran Bloodwatcher:

   "I want those things, you must bring them to me.

   Of course, you can also try to take it away from me, but I want to remind you that if your raid fails, come buy it from me next time, but it will not be at the current price. "

   The room was quiet.

  The atmosphere was so calm that it was depressing, only the firewood burning in the fireplace was making a crackling sound, and the leader of the Sacred Relic Society no longer had any smile on his face.

   It can be seen that he is thinking hard.

   At the same time, he was shocked by the keen insight of the pirate in front of him.

   Maybe he has other eyeliners in the kingdom of Quel'Thalas, otherwise it doesn't explain why he is so familiar with the workings of the Relic Society.

   "You really are a man of insight."

   After five or six minutes of silence, Taeseran shook his head regretfully. He first praised the pirate, and then reached out and took the mark of the Wizard King in front of him.

   waved his hand again, and immediately a servant wearing a phoenix robe came forward with an exquisite box in both hands and placed it in front of the pirate.

   Legendary Mage said:

   "We Quel'Thalas want this mark.

   But you need to talk to Prince Kael'thas in person for the reward you ask for. His Royal Highness is in Dalaran now, and he has sent a message to me after learning of the existence and importance of this mark.

   He was willing to exchange his precious and rare collection for it, but His Royal Highness also made his own request.

   He wished to meet the man who brought so much knowledge to Quel'Thalas.

   Besides, there are many kinds of weapons in His Royal Highness' collection, you also need to go there and choose the two treasures you need. "

   "Alas, you elves are hypocritical."

  Black waved his hands and said:

   "Obviously it's business, but it's the same as making friends. But since His Royal Highness sincerely invited me, it would be too arrogant if I didn't give face.

   Okay, I'll go to Dalaran to meet him in person, and sign him by the way.

   What is this thing? "

   He pointed to the delicate box in front of him and asked, Tatheran Bloodwatcher stood up, with a humble yet graceful smile, made a "please" gesture, explaining:

   "This is a personal gift from His Majesty the Sun King, not for you, but for our eternal Ranger-General.

   His Majesty Anastarian and General Lireza were of the same generation. His Majesty and General were very good friends when they were young.

   When General Lireza got drunk, he asked His Majesty for a collection, but His Majesty did not give it to him at that time. After General Lireza died in battle, His Majesty was very sad and wanted to put it in the tomb of an old friend.

   Now that he heard the news that General Liresa had escaped death, he was very happy, so he asked me to bring such a thing, and please hand it over to Lady Liresa Windrunner.

   His Majesty said that Quel'Thalas would be her eternal home, regardless of Lady Lyresa's current life form.

  If your Excellency the General wants to go home one day, Quel'Thalas will definitely open the door to her. "

   After finishing the transaction, the elf spellcaster who completed the transaction bowed down to Blake with dignity, picked up his sin'dorei golden scepter, and left a few attendants to continue to complete the remaining magic item transaction with the undead pirates.

   He himself took the mark of the Sorcerer King and returned to Quel'Thalas first.

  After Taeseran left, Blake pursed his lips and reached out to open the delicate box. What caught his eye was a golden light. The box contained a golden artwork.

  An elegant and noble elf lyre, its body is made of quaint wood, embellished with a metal body shaped like phoenix wings, and the most gorgeous precious metal embellishment at the apex.

   It is placed in a box like a golden phoenix ready to fly.

   "As expected of the Sun King, he has a knack for bribing people's hearts, even the dead, he's amazing."

  Blake spit out a sentence in a low voice, stretched out his hand on the elf piano in front of him, and the character card immediately gave the entry:

   Phoenix King's Jin Xiqin

  Epic·Excellent Quality【Sunwell Magic Power Enhancement】

  Excellent endurance.Extraordinary strength.Excellent fatal blow

  Item Effects:

  The Song of Jin Xiqin: Play the melody of battle and apply special buffs to your allies.

  Item Description:

   This is a elven lyre treasured by the Sunstrider family for generations. It can play the most beautiful melody in the world, and it is the dream of all bards.

   In addition, when used as a weapon, it can easily decapitate the most ferocious trolls.

The body of the    is engraved with the famous words of Dath Remar Sunstrider:

   I can use it to sing songs, or I can use it to fight **** battles, it just depends on whether the friend or the enemy is standing in front of me.

  Blake raised the violin in his hand, put on a very artistic gesture, and gently plucked the strings professionally, resulting in an unpleasant and out of tune sound.

   caused the little fishmen with bright eyes to cover their mouths and laugh.

  This embarrassed the pirates, so he picked up the body of the violin and swung it twice as if it were a battle axe.

  The sense of balance is perfect, and it must be very easy to cut people with it.

   "Well, I really am a rough man."

  The pirate said so, and threw the violin back into the box. Everyone said that this thing wasn't for him. Although Black was greedy, he wasn't so out of style.

   "The symbol of local tyrants."

   He picked up the box and walked out of the hall, saying as he walked:

   "I dreamed of wanting it back then, but now I have it in my hands. However, these elves are really arrogant.

   It seems that we have to find an opportunity to teach them a lesson. "
