Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 866 196. Self-knowledge of the Great Chief

   "bang, bang"

   The door of the captain's room rang twice, and Black, who was studying Gul'dan's Great Skull Tome, said without raising his head:

"Come in."

   The hatch was pushed open, and Maim, who was wearing heavy armor, walked in with his head lowered.

   This guy is carrying a warhammer imitating the Hand of Darkness and a blood-red and nearly black skull battle axe on his back, and the chain-weighted hammer of the warhammer is still swinging while walking.

   looks very deterrent.

The first reaction of anyone who sees such a green-skinned head walking on the road is to give way, and Maim, as Black's number one general in the undead fleet system, believed in Lennock, the **** of giant bears, and was bestowed with rage. After the strength, it has also become a legend. Maybe if you need a chance, you can become a member of those powerful legendary warriors.

   But at this moment, Maim's head can't wait to be lowered into the crotch of his pants, and at first glance, he has a ghost in his heart.

   He walked to Black's desk, humming and unable to say a word, obviously an orc warrior with five or three rough, forcibly gave him a useless appearance of being bullied by his little daughter-in-law.

   Blake frowned.

   He put down the skull tome and said in a gentle tone:

   "Did you get a brain injury in the Blade Fist Arena? Or did you have a dwarf's will in your body after undergoing some **** magic experiment?"

   "No, Captain."

   Maim replied in a stern voice:

"I'm very good."

   "Then talk about it, what do you do with the appearance of someone bullying you?"

   Black scolded:

   "If you have nothing to do, get out of the deck and patrol, why are you always running to me?"

   "It's my brother's business."

   Maim straightened his body immediately. Well, no matter how hard a traditional orc works, this waist is not straight. He honestly said to Black with a pleading face:

   "I just found out the whole story from my brother's letter to me, that incident was a misunderstanding, Captain, please believe in your brother's loyalty to you, he will never deliberately sabotage your plan.

   Those orcs who clashed with the human strikers have been dealt with by him.

   That was a small-scale solo walk, not the meaning of the high-level orthodox tribe. "

   Having said that, the most stupid Maim didn't know how to plead for his brother who made a mistake. After thinking about it, he said with the thinking that an orc should have:

   "You know my brother too, Captain. As far as his **** brain is concerned, if it was intentional, how could he have arranged things so cleverly?

   The conflict lasted for only twenty minutes, and neither side died. It was useless except to provoke hostility between the two sides.

  If it was really my brother who wanted to do something wrong, with his style, at least a small clan of 200 people would swagger into the Redridge Mountains to challenge the human garrison.

   As you can see, this is definitely just a coincidence. "

The reason given by    Maim left Blake speechless. After a few seconds, he said in a strange tone:

   "What you said makes a lot of sense. I was convinced by you, but is it really okay for you to slander your brother like this? Although I also think that guy is rude and can't make such a fine plan, what if he gets enlightened?"

   "If he really got enlightened, he would have left the mess of Black Rock Mountain long ago."

   Maim grinned and said:

   "How can it be comfortable to be that **** chieftain in Blackrock Mountain, following the captain around the sea? He still obeys his inner desire, hoping to restore the former glory of the Blackrock clan.

   For those meaningless things, he trapped himself on the throne called the Great Chief.

   He racked his brains every day to think about where the next meal of his soldiers would come from.

   But which of his subordinates, Blox, Warlock, Drek'Thar, etc., was less informed than him? Those cunning things pushed Reid out as a shield, taking care of his clan and interests in private.

   But my idiot brother was enjoying it, complacent with the name of a great chief, and worked hard to dream a spring and autumn dream that was completely inconsistent with his own low ability.

   It can be seen that Reid was not enlightened at all. "

"well said."

  Blake couldn't help but clapped his hands, he said to Maim with appreciation:

   "I knew that I should have resisted the pressure and sent you to Blackrock Mountain, leaving your brother in the fleet. You can see the general situation better than him, and your brain is much easier to use than his."

   "If I really go back, Captain, I'll sneak back if I can't last for two months."

   Maim shook his head and said:

   "Any smart orc should not raise the banner of the orthodox tribe at this time. Once the human kingdom recovers from its weakness, it will definitely raise an army to attack any force that claims to be an orthodox tribe.

   It doesn't matter how much Red says he supports peace.

   Once Blackrock Mountain is in danger of being destroyed, the Kor'kron and the Frostwolf clan will definitely abandon Reid immediately, and only his die-hard Firebrand Legion and those ogres are willing to follow him to the death.

   This is useless at all.

   Unless they can take Darkforge.

   Integrates the top and bottom of the Black Rock Mountain into a single fortress. But when the tribe was at its strongest, it didn't do it, and Red couldn't do it either. "

   "You are good at analyzing."

  Blake nodded with satisfaction and said:

   "I know what you mean, I won't blame Reid, this is obviously someone who is provoking it, I will personally go to him and ask the reason.

   Go, go patrol.

   When you arrive at the Burning Plains, remember to be a little more mighty. When you go back this time, you will also show your brother your career and make him feel at ease with another chief of the Blackstone family. "

   "Okay, Captain. You're busy, I'll go first."

   Maim let out a long breath, gave Black an orc salute, turned and strode out of the captain's room.

   At this time, the Nagfar was passing through the strait between the wetlands and the Arathi Highlands. Maim stepped out of the stern and looked overhead, and he could see the white Saldo Bridge standing.

   After crossing this strait, you can enter the endless sea eastward.

   Further south along the coastline of the Eastern Continent, you will soon reach the Badlands, where there is a Goblin Wharf, the town of Meltinglight, where orcs and goblins secretly do business.

   is also the destination of the ghost ship's trip.

Maim was still a little worried at this moment. After all, Red did make a mistake. He was patrolling and thinking about a way. When he saw Natalie, the black-robed ship doctor, walking out of his cabin and spreading on the deck, Maim hurried forward. , and had a few words with Natalie.

  The ship doctor was a little hesitant. She had always been a Buddhist, and she didn't want to get involved in this mess.

   But the staff is short, and the staff in her hand is still Red's "filial piety" gift to her. If you need any magic materials on weekdays, as long as you use them to the Black Rock Mountain, Red will definitely deliver them as soon as possible.

   has taken so many benefits from others, and this critical moment cannot be ignored.

   So ten minutes later, the door of Black's captain's room was knocked again, and the pirate who had just read the magic tome was awakened. He put down the book in annoyance and said:

"Come in."

  Ms. Natalie walked slowly into the captain's room. Before she could speak, she heard Blake say coldly:

"If you are also interceding for Red, then you can leave, my dear ship doctor. In the past two or three days, not only did Maim come twice, but even Eudora, who was doing business, came here. letter.

  My incompetent subordinates of warlocks are even more similar to me, and they give Reid fancy touts. I once suspected that they were touting Lothar, not a greenskin.

  I don't know what benefit Reid gave them? Is that guy so popular? "

After   , he looked at Natalie suspiciously and said:

   "My ship doctor, you should hate greenskin the most. You won't be captured by Red's 'sugar-coated cannonball', right?"

   "That's not the case."

   Natalie waved her hand expressionlessly and said:

   "I'm here to report to you about Maiev Shadowsong. I don't care about what Red did or something like that."

   "Ah, I knew you were the most trustworthy."

   Black laughed and invited the ship doctor to sit in front of him. He asked:

   "So, what's going on with Maiev? Is she really hurt? Or is she pretending to do something bad on my ship?"

   "Ms. Warden is really hurt, I can be sure of that."

   Natalie pressed her chin with her fingers and answered with certainty:

   "I didn't even need to use Holy Light to detect her body to be sure she was in a state of extreme weakness, but such a prolonged coma is rare indeed.

   I checked Ms. Shadowsong last night, and her body is recovering, which is a good thing.

   But I cannot confirm her mental condition.

  Because her soul and mind are protected by the power of the Moon God, although the Holy Light is also a power of order, it comes from a different source.

  I can't really examine her soul, but considering that Lady Maiev Shadowsong and you miraculously escaped from Ny'alotha after all, it's normal for some mental illness to remain.

   No matter how powerful a mortal faces the ancient gods, it is impossible for them to escape unscathed. "

   Having said this, the ship doctor glanced at Black and said:

   "So, I think you are a little too sensitive to Maiev's vigilance, Captain."

   "You don't understand the cunning of that woman!"

  Black shook his head stubbornly and said:

   "Maev Shadowsong is definitely not as pure as you look, that woman is black when cut open, and you don't even know she treats me Well, I mean, I'm a prophet.

  I can see Maiev's past life and present life. Under her pure appearance hides an elusive heart. "

   "This statement cannot be refuted."

   Natalie nodded, she was silent for a few seconds, and said:

   "But if you want to confirm whether Ms. Maiev is pretending to be unconscious, Captain, there is actually a very simple way. I heard you say that she is a priest of the moon, right?"

  Black nodded and heard Natalie say to him in a low voice:

   "When I was bored on the sea, I would also read some priests' texts of other factions to relieve my boredom. I had read the Moon God's text, which described the dogma of the sacrifice of the moon in great detail.

  The priests of the moon must maintain the purity of their bodies in order to maintain the purity of their beliefs, unless their love with men can be blessed by Elune.

  Otherwise, any qualified moon priest must keep a distance from men.

   This is their professional ethics.

do you understand me? captain. "

   "hiss"

  Black took a deep breath.

   He looked at his ship doctor with a look of astonishment, and said:

   "This is too vicious, isn't it? I suspect Natalie now that you cut it black too."

   "Where did you think of going?"

   Seeing the captain's exaggerated appearance, the ship doctor shook his head speechlessly. She said:

   "I'm not suggesting that you defile her or violate her, am I so mad? I'm just saying that these dogmas of the ritual of the moon are carved into the soul and can be used to test her condition.

   Just touch it.

  If she is really pretending to be unconscious, then your actions will inevitably violate her taboos. With Elune's will on top, even if she wants to forcibly pretend, the discomfort it will cause will be noticed by you.

   But do it this way! "

   Natalie stood up, grabbed her staff, and stared at the captain's thoughtful dog head.

   she warned:

   "If you dare to take advantage of people's danger and do something immoral, I will call on the Holy Light to punish you. Captain, respect for women is your only remaining advantage, please continue to maintain this gentlemanly style."

   "You made me talk like heinous."

  Black rolled his eyes and said:

   "Am I the kind of **** who 'picks up corpses'? Walk around, you come with me, and give me a testimony by the way, lest any **** gossip spread out.

  My reputation is about to be ruined by these incompetent scumbags. "

   He and the ship doctor walked out of the captain's room and headed towards Maiev's room. When they entered an aisle, Natalie pulled her hood and suddenly whispered:

   "Although I don't care about the affairs of Blackrock Mountain, I have heard about what happened to Redd. From a shadow priest's point of view, I'm going to make a hypothesis.

  Is it possible that the orcs who clashed with the human forward were bewitched?

  Captain, don't forget, Red and his group of orcs are not the only ones living in Blackrock Mountain. They are still cooperating with the Black Dragon Prince. If there is a conflict between the orthodox tribe and the Stormwind Kingdom, whose interest is it in? "

   "Reid's popularity is really good."

   Black pouted and said:

   "It seems that he pays attention to maintaining the relationship with his colleagues on weekdays. Say, how much did he give you?"

   "Not much."

  Natalie did not hide it, waved the staff in her hand, and said:

   "That's it, plus a little magic material, samples or something."

   "One hundred million dots, I understand."

  Black snapped his fingers and didn't pursue the matter.

   The stinky pirates have long heard of the "self-knowledge" of Reid's "I already knew that my mistake was only a matter of time.

   Unexpectedly, this guy's preparation actually worked.

  Although this is totally unnecessary in Blake's view, how could he, such a wise and powerful pirate, be deceived by such a little trick?

   However, Reid's stupid method actually reflects that the Orc Chieftain has been preparing a way back for himself. He wants to ensure that when he is desperate, at least he can safely return to the group of undead pirates.

   It seems that Maim’s evaluation of Reid is still biased. Reid is not unlearned. In fact, he is also improving.

   With this thought, Black pushed open the door of Maiev's cabin.

   He glanced at Natalie, and the ship doctor gave him a gesture of encouragement, then took a few steps back with his staff, and applied several shields of light to himself.

   She is very confident in Black, but this does not prevent her from preparing for self-defense in advance.

   In case Maiev is really pretending to be unconscious, if she is provoked by the pirate's hairy hands and feet, she will not be seriously injured by the terrifying Moonlight War God in an instant.

  As Natalie watched with a hint of curiosity and gossip, Blake took a deep breath, walked to the comatose Maiev's bed, and sat there.

   He hesitated.

   Then he pulled away the sheet covered by Maiev and stretched out his hand towards Madam Warden.

   After more than ten seconds, the sound of a heavy object falling sounded at the door of the cabin, awakening the pirates who were "fishing".

The latter turned his head and saw the fallen watcher Sera Moonguard walked in with his sleeves rolled up expressionlessly. He also picked up the silver dining fork on the table at the door, holding it like a dagger. it.

   "Sera, things are not what you think, you listen to my quibble."

"what!"
