Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 630 183. Waste utilization

  Lothar's Sacred Coffin stayed in Southsea for the night, and would board the battleship to return to Stormwind the next morning.

   This was Varian's request.

   After the consent of the old Pope who was in bed, and not even the discussion of the kings, the matter was settled.

   No one complained to the church about this arrangement. After the kings sent messengers to send their blessings and concerns, it meant that the matter was officially settled.

   But that doesn't mean the fallout is over.

   It's just the beginning.

   It is said that in the past three days, the interrogation of the captured Master Assassin Zach Yaozhi, led by the most hard-line priests of the church, has been completed.

  The entire process was witnessed by Dalaran's high-level mages and the MI7 of Stormwind City to ensure the justice and safety of the trial.

   Oralized by Zach Yaozhi and personally recorded by Dalaran Archmage Ansrem Ruinwever, which has been confirmed by Antonidas and presented to the kings and the church leaders.

   At the same time that Marshal Lothar's coffin set off from Lordaeron to Tarren Mill last night, the first batch of low-level nobles from various countries who participated in the botched assassination had been arrested.

   Many of them were influential figures in the political circles of their respective kingdoms.

   And this is just the first batch.

  The kings have assured the angry old pope that they will "get to the bottom of it".

  In the "slang words" of the nobles, the meaning of this word is: the identity of the scapegoat who will be brought out in the end can definitely block the long speeches of all walks of life in society.

   This is already pretty good.

   Wouldn’t it be necessary to pull out several kings and hang them?

   Young Varian was not satisfied with this.

   He knew the truth, but the Grand Duke of Bolvar and Shaw persuaded him. The human kingdom has been divided for nearly two thousand years, and it has been extremely difficult for this matter to reach the present result.

   But just when the upper levels were busy catching people, an important person in this matter was being "escorted" out of the northern border at this time.

An **** team led by the great knight Saidan Dasuohan and the archmage Ansrem Ruinwiver was taking advantage of the night to **** the captured master assassin Zac Yaozhi to the north of Silverpine Forest. Stream coast.

   A Kul Tiras ship is waiting there.

   The unlucky master gnome assassin sold by Duke Jorazzi Ravenholdt will be sent to "exile" overseas after a brutal interrogation.

   This is a more "gentle" way of saying it.

In fact, the gnome will be sent to the notorious black prison of Toldago in Kul Tiras, and Daelin has assured Varian that as long as the gnome enters Toldago, he will never come out for the rest of his life. .

   The place where countless vicious gangsters and pirates are imprisoned is the most heavily guarded area in Kul Tiras, where at least seven pirate captains who are notorious in the South China Sea are imprisoned.

   It is said that in the lowest level of the Black Prison, there is also a legendary mage who defected from the Kul Tiras Admiralty.

  Poor Zach Yaozhi immediately fainted in despair after hearing his verdict. He would have been close to the coast before slowly waking up in the bumpy carriage.

   He had no chains and shackles on his body.

   But the arcane cage set up by the archmage made it impossible for him to open the lock and escape with his flexible hands as before.

   "Is my family safe?"

The first thing the    gnome did after waking up was lying in the purple bubble-like cage and shouting to the MI7 assassins who were escorting him around.

   A well-built, bearded assassin with a red headband glared back at him and said:

"Be quiet!"

   "Shore promised me!"

  Zach Yaozhi knew that he was gone, and he would never have the chance to return to the Eastern Continent. He ignored the reprimand of the agent. He grabbed his bizarre black beard that was bent at the edge and shouted to the outside:

   "He said, as long as I cooperate with you, my family will be able to escape safely! You must act quickly, the duke's easy-going mad dog will not let a traitor like me go."

   "The Gnomeregan secret agents are already on the move, and Ms. Kelsey Steelspark is personally responsible for the evacuation of your family."

   The great knight Dasuohan on the warhorse said without looking back:

   "The church has arranged for the newly baptized dwarf Paladin Lord Kurtaz to meet your family in Ironforge, and MI7 will arrange a new identity for them to start a new life in the Kingdom of Stormwind."

   "Shhhhh! You stupid knight!"

  The Assassin Master who was locked in the Arcane Cage shouted in panic:

   "Don't say it! Don't be heard, there may be dukes in this group. Hell, you told them all the whereabouts of my family!"

   "Don't worry, I was just talking nonsense."

  The great knight let out a low and short laugh from under his helmet, and said:

   "Your family is not there. They will go to a place without the infiltration of Ravenholdt forces under the arrangement of the church. They are safe."

   "That's fine, that's fine."

  Zach Yaozhi nodded. After hearing that his family was fine, the Master Assassin was obviously relieved, but then he became seriously pessimistic about his fate.

   The dwarf shuddered at the thought of being sent to that hellish place in Tol Dagor, his tongue pushing against his teeth, trying to stir up the poison in his mouth, so that he could die without suffering.

   As a result, with a push of his tongue, the dentures containing the poison actually disappeared, which shocked the dwarf Zach.

   "Death can take away sin, but it can't take away humiliation. You are destined to spend a lifetime in prison to atone for what you have done before, dwarf, don't think about suicide.

   Marshal Lothar may forgive you, but we are not as merciful as he is. "

   MI7 agent John Keeshan, who escorted the gnome, sneered, causing the gnome suspended in the arcane cage to close his eyes helplessly.

All right.

   This is a master.

"stop!"

   A few minutes later, on the forest road to the North Stream coast north of Sepulcher, the great knight Dasuohan suddenly tightened the reins, and the entire marching team stopped immediately.

  The surrounding agents grabbed their weapons one after another, and the archmage who maintained the arcane cage also reached out and shot a ball of light, illuminating the surrounding night.

   The dwarf in the cage trembled again, his upper and lower teeth were chattering, he felt that this must be someone sent by the duke to kill him.

but not.

  The Silver Pine Forest, where the terrain has changed dramatically due to the raging of Deathwing, is quietly infiltrating in this night, and there is not even the sound of birds flapping in the surrounding forest.

   In front of the convoy, a fallen tree blocked the way.

The night around    was getting darker and darker. The prisoner in the cage saw the great knight draw the sword of the Great Crusade, and the blade of the sword danced with holy light. He lay on the cage and shouted loudly:

   "There are people in the dark night around! Heck, they are moving fast, and there are many! They are coming for me, be careful, you tin cans, listen to me!

  I am an expert on this. "

"To shut up!"

   Archmage Ansrem raised his staff, and more than a dozen Arcane Eyes were shaped and summoned, roaming around in the dark night outside the caravan, dispelling the shadows.

   But the comers are clearly elite and vigilant.

   They forced the convoy back, but did not launch an attack immediately, and the agents of MI7 also entered the stealth defense.

   The leader of the team, Major Keeshan, jumped to the top of the prison car with agility, reached out and took off the war bow on the back, and raised his hand to shoot four flares all around, accurately blocking all routes close to the convoy.

"come out!"

  The Great Knight shouted forward, this action made the gnome assassin in the cage grin, thinking that this Paladin is really stupid! How could an assassin show up by your call?

   But the next second, his laughter was like a chicken with its neck cut off, only making a weird giggle.

   In front of the convoy, two figures appeared in the floating shadow.

   One black and one red.

   The black one is a human, wearing a black and white tuxedo, with a black face covering and gloves, looking serious and serious. And behind him half a position behind, this is a tall elf.

   Wearing red leather armor, a long crimson hood to cover his body, and two slender short swords and daggers inserted into his waist.

   She has long blond hair and emerald green eyes.

  The Great Knight looked at the two people in front of him. He noticed that the assassin, who was like a human butler, had weird armguards on his wrists and narrowed his eyes.

   After a few seconds, he said:

   "Master Uncrowned asked you to come?"

"Um."

   Moros, the undead steward, was gentle and polite, but said in a hoarse voice:

   "The master asked us to 'take' prisoners here, and he asked me to assure you that Zach Yaozhi will be permanently exiled on the endless seas for his crimes.

   He will never have the opportunity to set foot on the land of his hometown again, and every day of his life will be spent in endless regrets and battles with death.

   For a traitor and loser, this is the most terrible punishment he will bear. "

   "That's not the order we received."

  The MI7 agent Major Keishan, who was standing above the prison van, shouted solemnly:

   "I can't give him to you without an official warrant."

   "You want a warrant? Then I'll give you a warrant."

  Moros took a few steps forward, took out three documents from his chest pocket, and handed them to the Grand Knight, the Archmage, and the Special Agent Major.

   is stamped with the seals of the Church of the Holy Light, the Council of Six and MI7, as well as the signatures of Alonzos Fao, Antonidas and Mathias Shore.

   But the content of the file is blank.

   The undead steward took out a well-made signature pen and handed it to the three people in front of him. He said softly:

   "Stamps and signatures are available, but time is tight, so write the content yourself."

"This"

  The great knight and the archmage silently put away the documents and moved out of the way, but Major Keishan, who was loyal to his duties, was unwilling to move away. He looked at the blank document in his hand and shouted:

   "You must have stolen it! It doesn't count."

   "Ask Your Excellency Shaw if you have any questions. He is your commander. We are just here to take away a sinful man, and we are not responsible for answering any questions, Major Keishan."

  Moros' tone also became tough, he waved his hand and said:

   "Now, get out of the way! Don't interfere with the actions of the Uncrowned."

   "Don't let them take me!"

  Zach Yaozhi in the cage saw the whole process of what happened, and there was an unfounded fear in the dwarf's heart. He slapped the arcane cage and shouted:

   "I'd rather do hard labor in Tol Dagor! Please, don't let them take me, the Uncrowned are a bunch of lunatics!"

   "Shh."

   The undead steward raised his head, raised his fingers in front of his face-covering towel, and made a gesture of silence, his eyes blazing with soul fire stared at the shivering dwarf in front of him, and said:

   "The master warned before leaving that this was a 'waste utilization' operation. He believed that all the remnants of Rahovand should perish, but since you have survived, then continue to live.

   But to change a new identity, change a new life.

  Your shadowing skills can make you stand among us.

   But the respect you want to win depends on your own will and strength. Of course, the master is a very reasonable person who believes that everyone has the right to say 'no'.

   So he also gave you the power to refuse. "

   Moros took a small, purple potion from his belt, and that thing had an evil cap adorned with a skull. The undead steward put the small bottle in front of the arcane cage, and he said gently:

   "Follow us or drink this and you'll be 'free'."

   "If I don't drink it, it looks like a highly poisonous thing!"

  Zach Yaozhi screamed:

   "The choice between being a dog for Blake and dying is not called 'choice'!"

"This"

   The dwarf's answer made the undead steward frown deeply, and he said:

   "You are unwilling to accept recruitment, and you are unwilling to die, which makes it difficult for us uncrowned."

   "Look, I said the Uncrowned are a bunch of lunatics."

   Desperate gnome flapping the violet arcane cage, he appealed to his "guards" for help:

   "Although I am a prisoner, I also have human rights. You let them take me away like this, but it is inhumane at all! Especially you, great knight, don't you believe in the Holy Light?

   Does the Holy Light teach you to die in this situation? "

   "We've wasted too much time, it's time to go, Your Excellency."

   Valeera Sangunar, who had been silent for a while, said to Moros:

   "This dwarf who is greedy for life and fear of death is not worth our stay for him. If he doesn't want to go with us in a decent way, we can help him leave in a 'dignified' way.

   Anyway, the master said, we must take a dwarf back, but it doesn't matter whether we live or die."

   "Well, that makes sense."

  Moros turned to look at Archmage Ansrem, he said:

   "Then ask Your Excellency the Archmage to open the cage, and I will 'serve' Lord Zach on the road."

"do not!"

   The dwarf saw that no one was helping him, so he could only admit that he was unlucky. He cocked his head and said:

   "I'll go with you, but I'm a master after all, and I ask for treatment and remuneration in line with my status!"

   "We refuse."

   Valeera said coldly:

   "You have no bargaining power, recognize your situation!"

   "Then I will"

   The dwarf gritted his teeth and wanted to say harsh words, but after a few seconds, he sat down in a decadent manner, grabbed his hair and said:

   "Then I can only go with you. Hell, everyone is a master assassin, how come Blake Shaw is so beautiful, and I ended up like this?

   The gap between this person is really disappointing. "
