Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 722 53. Her Majesty, why don't you give me a reward for watching the live broadcast?

   Lady Vashj, the viper mistress who left the Eternal Palace, immediately prepares to go to Vashj'ir Sea.

   As the head maid who has been with the Queen for the longest time, Vashj knows that the Queen is sometimes very impatient when she is irritable, although most of the time she maintains the bearing and wisdom of the king.

   But as the head maid, Vashj was reluctant to bet on this probability.

   Besides, it’s just one reconnaissance mission, which can be completed in a week at most.

   However, when she was packing, she was still thinking about the Queen's unique order. If the scepter holder cannot be captured alive, then there is no need to bring the scepter back for the time being.

   This sentence is not difficult to understand.

   But there are some contradictory meanings revealed in it, but the Viper Mistress, who is wise enough to figure out the queen's mind, is surprised.

   "So, is this actually a test? Test the mortal pirate who stole the Scepter of the Tides."

   Vashj walked out of her underwater residence. She had completed the necessary preparations for the long journey. In the military camp outside the city, her two adjutants had also selected elite warriors and were waiting for her to meet.

   "Fortunately, you can get the Queen's attention through a vicious raid."

  The viper mistress complained in her heart:

   "This is something that countless loyal and brave naga can't hope for. But the guy who can attract the attention of the queen should not be easy, it seems that you need to plan carefully.

   Or, just be direct. "

  Vashj's snake eyes narrowed, and while swimming to the military camp outside the city, she quickly designed a set of procedures in her heart.

   "Ma'am, everything is ready, we can go any time!"

  Ten minutes later, in a valley in the seamountain outside of Nazjatar, the Viper Mistress's adjutant, the Deepwater Lord Calatheras, came to report to the Mistress with his rough warhammer on his back.

  This male naga warlord is fierce-looking and cunning, and is deeply trusted by Vashj.

   Compared with the shrewd and strong one, the other adjutant of the mistress is much worse.

   "Where's Naintus?"

  Vashj, with a hint of strong dissatisfaction, folded her arms around her chest and scolded:

   "I clearly ordered the assembly! Why hasn't it come yet?"

   "Naintus should be in the slave training grounds, indulging in his anger at the disobedient sea giant, Mistress, it has become crazy since it was transformed."

  The deep water lord Carratheres rolled his eyes and seized the opportunity to apply eye drops to his colleagues. It pretended to sigh and said:

   "But please don't feel angry about it, Your Majesty.

  My mighty compatriot Naintus is still as loyal to the Queen and you as before, but his chaotic thinking cannot allow him to perform his duties as an Overseer perfectly.

   But don't blame it.

   After all, the reason why it became what it is now is because of the wounds that the queen suffered in the battlefield. "

   "There are many invincible warriors under the queen. For the supreme queen, a commander with brains is better than thousands of brave but reckless lunatics."

   Vashj said indifferently:

   "Go, send someone to get it back. Tell it, if it wants to fight with the shameless foreign enemy as the queen's fighter, then come back obediently.

   In the past, some battles were fought for it. "

   "As you order, Mistress."

   The obedient Deepwater Lord swayed the snake's body to convey the order, and Vashj watched it leave, having already made a somewhat cruel decision in her heart.

   Champion of Azshara, High Warlord Naintus is indeed mighty and valiant.

   Vashj had no doubts about his fervent loyalty to the Queen.

  The Viper Mistress really misses the time when Naintus was not crazy. At that time, he was the mistress's most trusted adjutant and the most heroic warrior under the queen's command.

  Unfortunately, now it has become a delusional madman, and the damage caused by such an uncontrolled violent madman to his own people is even far greater than his attack on the battlefield.

   Then let it continue to pay for the Queen's cause.

   Just like what it did in the last war with the sea giant, die for the queen again!

   Its brain, driven mad by the power of the void, will not refuse this honor. It can also be regarded as giving it a "good death", so that it will no longer suffer from the pain of being so confused and mad as it is now.

   "The provocation of a madman can just test the strength of that pirate for the queen."

With this thought in Vashj's heart, she looked at the elite army that had been assembled in front of her, waved her hand and made a gesture, and immediately a tall Naga flag officer hoisted Vashj's battle flag, and marched mightily toward him. The deep dark sea outside the city advances.

   At the same time, on Tol Barad Island, in Narsalas College in the South Island, on the favorite viewing platform of Dean Blue Moon, several senior tutors of the college are gathering here.

   On the table in front of them, there was the Shardal Tide Scepter that Black brought back.

   This scepter, known to all the elf ghosts present, is suspended in the center of the table with the power of magic, surrounded by a circle of people, except for Blake who is leaning on the railing and drinking, everyone else is silent.

   "Farodis, you are the one who has the most contact with the queen among us. With your memory and knowledge, can you be sure whether it is true or false?"

   Dean Lan Yue asked cautiously.

   Prince Farodis nodded beside her and said in a serious tone:

   "I can confirm that this is the scepter that accompanied the Queen back then. It was donated by Lord Xavius ​​and strengthened by the Queen's own hands. Bathing in the brilliance of the Well of Eternity makes it more noble and powerful at the same time."

   "It does have a lot of heavy magic enhancements on it, carrying at least nineteen different spell effects, each of which is very powerful."

   On the other side of Dean Blue Moon, Archmage Alan constantly used detection magic to stimulate the scepter, making it float on the surface with different magic effects.

   "These magics are all released by Queen Azshara herself, and we can't crack them in a short time."

  The high-level mage Deriana said to others with a look of regret and a certain respect from the caster:

   "It's frustrating that we can't even understand how they work, and 10,000 years later, Queen Azshara is still the amazing ruler of the Empire.

   Her manipulation and understanding of magic has even taken a new level, and we're still in the same place. "

   "Don't be discouraged, Deriana."

   "Shame of the Academy" Mentor Nitier grabbed her wand and comforted her friend. She said optimistically:

   "We can learn, too, from the magic of this scepter."

   "Learn? Who gave you the courage to say such a thing?"

  Drianna complained dissatisfiedly:

   "How do you learn things that you can't even read? Are you just like a child learning to speak, copy these magics first?"

   "Hmph, that's what I planned."

   Nitier snorted, folded her arms and said:

  "I can't understand why it doesn't prevent me from 'copying homework', first copying the mana models of these magics, and then studying them one by one, we are now dead.

The good thing about    the dead is that time has no meaning for us.

   After painting for hundreds of years and thousands of years, I can always fully understand it. This method is stupid, but very effective. "

   "Cough, can I express my opinion?"

   Blake, who was drinking outside the crowd, suddenly stretched out his hand, just like a primary school student raising his hand to ask a question. When others looked at him, the Master of Warlock School shrugged and said a little drunk:

   "You spirits better not study the magic on the scepter too deeply. A friend of mine who knows how to tell me that magic is a combination of arcane and void.

   Azshara did not give up researching new magic after becoming a naga.

  She took darker knowledge from her 'collaborators' and extended it with her own supreme wisdom, combining with her own knowledge to form this unique spellcasting system.

  You see, no problem.

   But don’t learn, let alone copy, you will hear some weird sounds, see some terrifying visions, have nightmares all night long, and finally have a mental breakdown and your spirit body will dissipate.

   I don't want my dear teachers to suffer like this. "

   "Black is right, this scepter has become more dangerous than it used to be after 10,000 years of coexistence with the void. You should not approach it, much less study it."

   In the silence of everyone, Dean Lan Yue said with a firm voice:

   "Okay. After opening your eyes, you can leave and do your own business. The news that the tidal scepter is temporarily staying in the academy is not allowed to go out.

   I will take care of it myself.

   Until we figure out what kind of power Queen Azshara has left behind on this scepter. "

   After the dean issued the "expulsion order", the mentors left obediently, not only because of the majesty that the dean had accumulated in 10,000 years, but also because the current dean Lanyue was different from before.

   Her way of speaking, acting style and thinking mode are more neutral, cold and ruthless than before.

   This change is normal.

   Because Aria Bluemoon is already a lich.

   Last night, when her disciple went deep into the Naga's territory to kill and kill, she successfully completed her promotion ceremony without any assistance.

   She has entered immortality and achieved eternity.

Her emotions of belonging to a mortal creature are gradually being stripped away over time, and absolute rationality is occupying her heart. Perhaps soon, she will become a strong enough but indifferent enough, just like the current Merry Winterwind. guy.

   Dean is a pioneer.

  After her ascension ceremony was successfully completed, Elam and Prince Farodis also began to consider whether or not to pursue this immortal power.

   and became a lich, the most special change is that although Dean Lanyue is still a spirit body, her body has become more solid than before to the extent that it almost forms a solid body.

   That set of Nar'thalas robes could even be supported by her body when she was wearing it, which made the Dean appear to be "bulging forward and backward".

   Of course, no tutor or student dared to look at the Dean's figure.

  Unless they "live" impatient again in the long time after death.

   "You can't take it with you."

   After the other mentors left, Dean Lanyue pushed the crystal glasses on the bridge of her nose, and she said to Blake in an indifferent voice:

   "Although I haven't researched it in depth, I'm sure that Queen Azshara has attached a surveillance-like magic to the scepter. From the time you got it to the present, all your actions have fallen under the Queen's surveillance.

   Of course, if she's watching. "

   "So, can she see me and hear me now?"

  Blake blinked, he stepped forward, adjusted his clothes, made a friendly gesture to the scepter floating in front of him, and said:

   "Hello, Her Majesty, are you free to come out and sit? I think, maybe we can talk about something."

   "You're drunk, right?"

   Dean Lanyue saw the strange behavior of her disciple, she shook her head and said:

   "That's not how this magic works. You should probably take a moment to study how enchanting spells work, I'm very disappointed with your performance at this time.

   Maybe you need more homework”

   "Dean, you've already been promoted to a lich, why is this habit so stubbornly retained?"

  Blake said with a headache:

   "I have enough homework.

   And I'm just joking, you liches really don't have a sense of humor, although I wasn't sure before, but I probably guessed that this scepter has the Queen's will on it.

  Otherwise, I wouldn’t bring it over to show you as soon as I came back.

  I took this scepter back to use it. I need you to give me a way to use it. As for Azshara's concern, it's not really a big problem. "

  The pirate raised his head and said seriously to Dean Lanyue:

   "With Azshara's spellcasting ability, she can see all my actions with prophecy magic as long as she wishes, not to mention that I am still at sea.

  Nepturon claims that the sea is its domain, but in fact we all know who the sea currently belongs to.

   I will be noticed by her sooner or later.

   This is only a matter of time. If so, why should you be afraid of the surveillance magic left by the Queen? This scepter is powerful, and it works with the Tidestone to make the sea work for us.

   In front of such a powerful force, a little flaw can be endured. The big deal is to lock it in a black box when it's not in use. "

   "Well, this is indeed a way."

   Dean Lanyue nodded. She stretched out her fingers and touched the tidal scepter floating in the air in front of her. The cold magic power belonging to the Lich surrounded the scepter, and the ice emanating almost wanted to freeze the surrounding air.

   After a few seconds, the dean retracted his finger and said:

   "Give me a moment, and I'll give you a manual for the Tide Scepter."

   "Thanks, I know that you are the most reliable Dean."

  Blake grinned and gave another thumbs up. He took a sip of wine and said to the dean again:

   "The dean can also study the vital essence of the drop of eternal water sealed inside the tidal scepter to lay the foundation for future careers.

  After finishing my wild trials, I will make a trip to Kalim to bring back that thing we have been dreaming about, and Nar'Thalas Academy should have its own magic well.

   Why don't we just call it the 'Tide Well'? "
