Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 657 210. The initiator, the stinky pirate

   "Don't think about it after you go back, you are still weak, remember to listen to the doctor's advice and take your medicine on time. If you think there is something wrong with our medicine, you can ask someone to prescribe it yourself.

  I have always been very generous in this regard. "

  When the sky was about to dawn, on the pier in Tol Barad, Blake personally accompanied a mysterious woman with a long hood to the deck of the Nagfar.

   He rambled like saying goodbye to his friends for a long journey:

   "I have already told you the location of our stronghold in Lordaeron. If there is any news, I will send someone to deliver the letter. You can also ask the palace guard to take our tavern as soon as you return.

   But I think, a smart woman like you would not do such detrimental things.

   The people I stayed in Lordaeron were all elite soldiers and generals. If any nobleman is not pleasing to the eye, or someone is too rude, we can also hire you to solve those troubles.

   or someone who causes trouble.

  This is your emblem, remember to bring it with you. "

Blake handed a Raven gold coin representing the uncrowned guest to the silent girl beside him. The latter reached out and took it in his hand. In front of Blake, he hung it on his pendant and made it close Put it away.

   This action makes the smelly pirate very satisfied.

   "Then, let's go."

   He stood at the end of the pier and made a "please" gesture to the lady beside him. The board of the Nagfar had been lowered in front of him. First mate Longsefer, wearing a Kul Tiras naval uniform, was standing on the side of the ship.

   She will be in charge of sending Princess Calia Menethil to the edge towns of the Whispering Coast in the Sea of ​​Lordaeron, and the rest of the way will have to be taken by Her Royal Highness.

   "Thank you for your 'hospitality' these days."

   Princess Calia pulled down the hood on her forehead, and she said in a bad tone:

   "I thought you were a pirate 'gentleman', but I didn't expect you to be a **** kidnapper."

   "Oh, what do you say?"

  Blake blinked and said:

"Is it because I secretly extorted 100,000 gold coins from your father in the name of an undead pirate? Are you angry about this? You have to understand that this is just to create a reasonable reason for your return home. ."

   "My Royal Highness, a princess of Lordaeron, is worth a mere 100,000 gold coins? Add a zero to the end, right?"

   Calia snorted and said:

   "You are not so much a cover for me, you are not telling my father clearly that I have reached some agreement with you."

   "Hehe, I just said the number casually."

  Blake shrugged and said indifferently:

   "Besides, doesn't this make your status as a 'pirate agent' more acceptable to your suspicious father. But I don't think His Majesty Menethil has been paying attention to your problems as much recently.

   You may not know it, but your brother made a 'big news' in Stratholme the other day.

   probably gave his old father a headache. "

"Um?"

  Calia heard that this had something to do with her younger brother, so she raised her brows and stared at Blake. The stinky pirate immediately raised her hands with a "frightened face" and said:

   "I swear, this has nothing to do with me at all! It was the choice made by the **** himself. To be honest, when I first heard the news, I was also shocked.

   A good noble paladin is inappropriate, running to be a lowly warrior, I really don't know what he thinks. You see how wise Varian is, knowing that there is no good future as a soldier, he changed careers early. "

   "Arthas gave up his pursuit of a paladin?"

  Calia's expression got worse.

  As Alsace's older sister, she is very aware of how obsessed her younger brother is with the Holy Light and the justice of the Holy Light. That was the ideal he had set since he was five or six years old, and now he has been voluntarily abandoned.

   It must be her brother who has had a major incident.

  Thinking of this, Calia didn't want to delay any longer, she said goodbye to Blake's possession, and walked quickly onto the infiltrating ghost ship with the corners of her skirt.

  Sefir gave the captain a pirate salute and escorted the princess into the cabin.

  The huge ghost ship hoisted its sails and anchored under the busyness of the ghost sailors, exited the port, and sank to the bottom of the sea in the early morning sea fog, and disappeared into the distant sea under the watch of Blake.

   It was still dark, and Blake was no longer sleepy. After sending Calia away, he walked around the coastline of Tol Barad.

   He could see from a distance that Gorke and his remaining four clansmen were playing and playing in the sea of ​​dawn, thinking that these sea giants were really heartless.

  It was obvious that three of them were killed in the naval battle a few days ago. After a few days, it was like nothing else, and he continued to live a happy pot-bellied life.

  The combat effectiveness of the sea giants has been proved in the defeat of the Gilneas fleet, and even an underage sea giant like Gorke can lead people to overturn the fleet.

   If more sea giants defend the island

  Black couldn't help but fell into thinking, but he quickly realized another drawback of the sea giant.

   They are so delicious.

According to previous experience, the eight-headed sea giants lived on the Cape of Lost Hope. In addition to fishing and eating by themselves, Eudora had to send two or three boats to the outer seas every day to fish in order to stabilize these big guys. Don't make trouble because of hunger.

   If there are more than a dozen of them, it is estimated that before the foreign enemy invades, the undead fleet will be eaten by these bastards.

  Gorke was standing in the waves on the sea in the distance. He let out a thunderous fart to form a strange big bubble, flew into the air, and was punctured by his finger.

   Then the other sea giants covered their noses and laughed.

   That "innocent" look made Blake scratch his head for a while.

   He thought:

  "Or drive them to the Palatine Gulf to stock up, where there are sharks and plesiosaurs that they can hunt, and if they continue to be kept in captivity like this, these guys will lose their wildness.

   They have to find another female sea giant for them to breed. I don’t know where there are female sea giants? Feralas should have it, Stranglethorn Vale, uh, seems to have it there too?

  Speaking of which, what does a female sea giant look like? Never seen it before. "

   With this "wonderful" thinking, Black stepped into the Warlock Tower halfway up the mountain, where he was going to practice the Warlock magic recorded in Gul'dan's Great Skull Tome.

   But just after the beginning, the smelly pirate remembered another thing.

   He took out the elemental emblem and threw a few air coins into it to summon the lamp god. When most of the creatures were sleeping soundly, he was suddenly summoned, and Al Abbas was still in that genial posture.

   Elemental creatures do not need sleep.

   "What do I want?"

  Black asked rudely:

   "What about the core of the Elemental Sin of the Snake Man? I don't ask you for it, and you don't offer it, right? Expect me to forget about it? You sly businessman."

   "The commercial contract doesn't specify when the delivery will be delivered. Besides, don't you remember that?"

   Deng Shen unhurriedly rotated his waist like a cotton candy, stretched out his claws with a sense of pleasure in the completion of the transaction, and handed the elemental core that was splashed with lightning to the stinking pirate.

   The latter took it in his hand, and the blond hair on his head was immediately erected by the surge of elemental arcs.

   Even his fingers were numb.

  Blake hurriedly took out a magic crystal bottle, stuffed the lightning-splashed core into the bottle, snapped the lid, and looked at it in front of him.

The powerful lightning force was imprisoned in a small space, resulting in constant micro-arcs pulsing in the bottle, just like a lightning lamp, the shining light would illuminate the dark tower hall within a few seconds. Bright.

   "This thing is really fierce! It's much higher than the power level of Loa's powers that I have been exposed to before."

   He said so admiringly, which resulted in the "sarcasm" of the lamp god:

   "This is the crystallization of the divine power after the fall of a mighty Loa, my dear pirate friend, you seem to have no understanding of the concept of 'Mighty Loa'.

  Although they share the title of 'Loa' with ordinary and weak loa, the difference in the power they possess is quite large.

   "Mysterious Mistress" Sethraliss I have never heard of the name, but when I traded with your subordinates, I heard the legend of this mighty Loa from them.

   If she can really perish with a powerful General Krassis, then her strength is enough to be comparable to a natural demigod. "

  The well-informed lamp **** Al Abbas sighed with a light wind, saying:

   "In those hard years, when we elemental creatures were forced to serve the ancient gods of the dark empire, I was very aware of the dark might of those abyss warriors.

   And what you are holding is the crystal of power after the fall of such a powerful demigod.

   This is a rather rare item.

  If I hadn't respected the contract and you were my high-quality customer, I would have to charge you more for 'information concealment compensation'. "

"and many more!"

  Blake looked at the "Bottle Lightning" in his hand, and he keenly captured the very important information hidden in Deng Shen's words just now.

   He frowned and said:

   "You traded with my subordinates, and heard the legend of the mysterious mistress from them? Let me guess, it was Warwick, the Prophet of the Snake Man, who traded with you?

   Is it convenient to disclose the transaction content? "

   "This is not allowed by the commercial contract. I am a very professional businessman."

   Deng Shen shook his head stubbornly.

   "Then let me take a guess. If I guess right, don't answer. If I guess wrong, you laugh at me, so it's not a breach of contract, right?"

  Black said again.

   Al Abbas did not answer, so the pirate coughed and guessed:

   "Warwick doesn't seem to complain about the loss of the Sulcis Keystone. After all, the whole of Dalaran is ruined, and it can't ask mages to do more for its civilization.

   But the sincere serpent prophet still abides by the mission left by his ancestors, so he sends you a deal, asking you to help him monitor the situation in the Great Desert of Vol'dun.

   Even ask you to help it recapture the keystone, right? "

  Deng Shen shook his body and remained silent.

  The stinky pirate nodded knowingly, and he added:

   "You promised it?"

   "No, the devout old snakemen can't pay me enough to hire me, after all, they are dealing with the ancient gods and their servants who are most feared by the elements.

   I have always been charged double for something so dangerous. "

   The lamp **** spread his hands and said:

   "But I doubt your subordinates will just give up. They are a group of sincere people, unlike you, who has no faith in your heart."

   "Well, I see."

  Black glanced at the beating lightning core in the bottle and said:

   "Looks like I'll have to talk to them sometime, it's a real headache to deal with these fanatics. Well, let's stop talking about them, let's talk about our relationship.

  I came to you to ask for a favor. "

  The pirate was very "sensible" and poured out a bunch of air coins from his luggage and pushed it to the element merchant. He said:

   "I want to ask you to bring a torrent element back to the throat of the abyss. Didn't I ask you to make my suggestion to the tide hunters before, but the tide hunters have not responded?

  This time I plan to send their water element's 'myself' as my messenger. "

   "This is easy."

  Al Abbas took a small half of the air coin in front of him and said:

   "So much pay is enough, unless you tell me that the rest are all 'tips' for me, then I will definitely be very happy."

   "Don't worry, I'm done."

  Black shrugged and added:

   "As the outcome of the war between our undead pirates and the Gilnean fleet spreads, so will your reputation as a rival to the tidesage.

   Ordinary pirates certainly won't be able to get the Tidestone, but they will look for your elemental emblem and pray to you for the power of the sea. I believe your 'little business' will soon usher in a big bull market.

   So I'm going to make a deal with you in advance. "

   "Speak, my friend."

   Al Abbas let out a loud laugh, raised his paws, and said:

   "I will complete the transaction with you, but the premise is that there is no monopoly, and I cannot destroy the power of other traders because of you.

  Fair, understand?

   For me, fairness is the most important thing. "

   "No no no, I'm not as arrogant as you think, trying to bind a free elemental demigod with a contract."

  Black waved his hand and said:

   "I just want you to help me find some people.

  My relationship with Hela, the queen of hell, is very poor. There is a little conflict between us. In order to restrict my development in the material world, she has already searched for her 'chosen' in the endless sea.

   And she deliberately set up a big game, to select the most vicious one from a group of vicious **** as a tool to destroy me.

   I'm not afraid of those guys.

   But it would be great if dangers could be detected in advance.

  So, while you are making deals with my fellows, I would like to ask you to help me find those guys who have something to do with Hell.

   I don't need you to hurt them.

  I just need to get their information and the rest, my incompetent subordinates and my 'partners', even my enemies, will do it for me. "

"this."

The    element merchant was a little tangled.

   This stinky pirate doesn't play cards according to common sense every time he trades with it, and he is not as stupid as other traders.

   Deng Shen glanced at the pile of air coins under his feet, and then looked up at the smelly pirate.

  Blake immediately understood, poured out all the air coins in his luggage, piled them into a pile of hills, and pushed them to Al Abbas.

   "Well, how can I bear to say no to a high-quality customer like you?."

   Deng Shen shook his body, let out a weird laugh, turned into a breeze and rolled up those air coins and disappeared in front of Black, but before leaving, it warned:

   "You can buy other people's information, and others can spend money to buy your information.

  My dear friend, this is the information transaction that you started first, and you made a bad start, so when others bid high enough, I will tell them about you too.

   But don't worry, the previous contract is still in effect, and I won't reveal your true identity until the contract deadline. "

"That's good."

  The smelly pirate took out the Skull Tome, opened it, and said without looking back:

   "Let them come, and I'll eat them like a sandwich! Now, go, my friend, I'm going to learn."
