Azeroth Shadow Trail

  Chapter 888 218. Alas, I knew that this **** thirst for knowledge would kill me one day

   "Little master, you look surprisingly good. It seems that you slept well last night."

   Early the next morning, Saratas entered the captain's room with a breakfast prepared by the chef when the morning sun was shining. She glanced at Blake who was sitting up from the bed, and said in a teasing tone:

   "Do single virgins like to sleep alone because it makes him feel satisfied? Or do they have an unknown secret date with their own hands?

   Speaking of which, you do have reasons to be wary of me, after all, your hands will never betray you, right? "

   "Just laugh."

  The pirates paid no heed to the malice of the adult jokes in Xal'atath's words.

   He moved his shoulders and said:

   "But I did slept well last night, as if someone was holding me at ease, and you can't understand the feeling, my dear Saratas.

  Because you see everything as a purpose, you don’t love anyone, you don’t even love yourself.

   I said it a long time ago.

   If you are more sincere and less routine when you get along with me, I will accept you faster. "

   "If I did that."

  Xalatas put away her fork and knife and made a "please" gesture for Blake, saying:

"Then I really want to be played by you in applause, which means that I will lose my fatal attraction to you, man, what you can't get is always the best, because distance will produce beauty, and fantasy can fill defect.

  Once you get it, sooner or later, no matter how delicious the food is, you will get tired of it.

  Little Master, no one knows your dark mind better than me, you are the real **** who doesn't love anyone. "

  Black stared at the red irregular stone on the dinner plate. He took it in his hand and looked at it before his eyes. After a few seconds, he put it away and said softly:

   "I should probably give you a kiss, Angry Heart, I'm really starting to thank you."

"What are you waiting for?"

  Xalatas raised Blake's chin domineeringly, and was about to kiss him with anger.

   Next moment.

   "Mr. Black, breakfast is here."

   Just when the pirates did not refuse, the door of the captain's room was pushed open.

  The rash "chief maid", a young girl who had no sense of presence on the ship, Taretha Folkeston, barged in with a steaming breakfast.

   Then she saw the breakfast in front of the pirate, then looked at the breakfast in her hand, and finally glanced at Saratas, who was dressed in an Arabian style and looked down at her with arms folded.

  The latter just like a dragonfly, pecked at the corner of the pirate's mouth and tried to stick his tongue into his mouth, but was rejected by the ruthless pirate.

   This is a little too fast.

   But the chief maid, who had not seen much of the world, froze in place.

   "From now on, the little master's breakfast, lunch and dinner will be personally responsible for his loyal and powerful servants! That's me!"

  Xalatas looked at the dazed little girl in front of her. She was very angry, but she said with dignity:

   "The little master doesn't need a clumsy chief maid. I can do everything you can, and I can do what you can't."

   She added another sentence.

   Looking at Taretha's blank expression in front of him, he sneered in the heart of Xalatas, who was all black, with a wicked pleasure.

   She said in her heart:

   "Yes, that's it!

  I have deprived you of the meaning of your existence, little girl in the country, cry, cry freely, then fear me forever, and live in my shadow for the rest of your life.

   you poor

  Ahhhh!

what happened? "

Before the malicious thoughts of the Void Essence were over, she saw a bright smile suddenly appeared on Taretha's blank face, she nodded vigorously, and happily reached out and stuffed the breakfast plate in her hand into Saratas hand.

  Taresha moved her arms and said to the blank-faced Essence of the Void:

   "That's great! I'm worried about being too busy. Recently, I have to take care of Miss Maiev, help her change clothes and prepare fruit juice, and also be responsible for shopping and food scheduling in the kitchen.

   Sister Sefir said she planned to assign me more work, but I was already devastated.

   Good-hearted sister, it would be great if you could help me share the pressure. Hey, this is what you said. You are responsible for everything related to Mr. Black. "

   The chief maid happily took out a wooden key from her bosom and put it in Xalatas's hand. She said:

   "There are two sets of Mr. Black's dirty clothes in the laundry room. You can wash them in a while. Remember to dry them in the back of the poop. The Nagfar doesn't like my clothes on her mast.

Oh, right!

  And Mr. Black's captain's room is cleaned three times a day, and the cleaning tools are kept in the cupboard outside the captain's room.

   Remember to feed ‘Swift Shadow’ at noon.

   There are also Frostpaws and Big Horns, they are elusive, they always come back during the meal time, disappear after eating and don’t know where to play.

   So you have to prepare three meals for them.

  Frostpaw only likes to eat meat, and occasionally adds some soul fragments. Big Horn needs fruit and honey. Don't put it wrong, otherwise it will get angry.

   It takes a long time to coax well. "

  Taresha talked a lot, and then looked up at the beautiful big eyes of the black-robed sister in front of her, she asked with concern:

   "Sister, do you understand?"

  Xalatas was speechless, and Blake, who was eating breakfast with a smile behind her, said without looking up:

   "She's very smart, she understands, little Taretha. Go, go about your business, you don't have to worry about my side in the future. Also, don't write to Thrall again.

  Old Gani can't send letters across the world, don't make it difficult.

   It's too extravagant to find a lamp **** to deliver a letter."

   "Oh, I see, Lord Captain!"

  Taresha responded with energy, and skillfully summoned her magic broom, carried it on her shoulders, turned and walked out of the captain's room.

   But after taking a few steps, she turned back to Blake and called out:

   "That, Captain, I'm going on vacation next week and I'm going to have a good night's sleep in Tol Barad, can you ask your personal maid sister to help me with two days of work?"

"Do not"

   Xal'atas refused immediately.

   Before she could say anything, Blake "helped" her and replied:

   "Of course no problem, your sister Sara is a big badass, but she is the most helpful. She knows how to please me, so don't worry."

   "Thank you Captain, thank you Sister Sarah!"

  Taresa cheered and ran out with a broom.

And Saratas turned around angrily, tearing off the veil on his face with a swoosh, revealing Onyxia's charismatic face that can be broken. She looked at Blake and screamed out of control. :

   "Do you want to see me unlucky so much?"

"Yes."

  Black said without looking up:

   "I have a bad heart. I'm happy when I see bad luck. Didn't you say that last night? You are willing to do everything to please me.

   Could it be that you are just talking about it? "

  Xalatas was so angry that he was speechless, the stinky pirate raised his head, glanced at her, and said:

   "It's all said, be more sincere and less routine.

   I was joking with you just now, Sefir has already found someone to lead the class for Taresha. My first mate is not as incompetent as you think. She has done an excellent job in her position.

   However, Taretha's words reminded me that I do need a personal maid. "

   Black rubbed his chin and said:

   "I can't always wash my personal clothes with Taresha. She doesn't care, but I also want my face. Then, Xalatas, my servant.

  Would you like to be my personal maid? "

  The pirate raised his head and looked at Xalatas with a frosty face. He blinked and said in a gentle tone:

"I need you"

"you!"

  Essence of the Void really wanted to slap the breakfast in her hand on the face of this increasingly annoying stinky pirate, but in the end, she let out a long breath and put on her perfect fake smile.

   She said sweetly:

   "Of course, my little master, I am willing to be your personal maid, whether it is food, clothing, travel, or warming the bed, I will do it perfectly.

  Come on, this is the second breakfast of the day.

   Let’s eat. "

  Xalatas put the second breakfast in front of the pirate, rubbed his fingers in front of him, and put strands of black broken light into the seafood porridge.

   She said maliciously:

   "Eat, as long as you dare."

   "What dare you not?"

   Black laughed and said:

   "Isn't it just adding some Void debris? You think I, a pirate covered in venom, would be afraid of this?"

   said wow, the pirate grabbed the bowl and was about to pour it into his mouth, and was pressed down on the table by Xalatas, she stared at Black and said:

   "It will kill people. This is the 'Void Toxin'. The high-level use of void power in toxins is the second lesson I teach you. Listen carefully, you bad student!"

  Xalatas had an expression of "there is a way to cure you" on his face.

   She licked her lips and said:

   "There will be an exam after the course, and I will prepare the exam paper for you. If your score is lower than 70, my student, trust me, I will give you an unforgettable lesson."

"you can not do that!"

   Black said coldly:

   "You are abusing the rules."

   "No no no, it can be done without the law, my student."

  Xalatas stretched out her hand, put it on the pirate's mouth, made a silent gesture, and said softly:

   "We agreed before that I will teach you the knowledge of the void. Dean Arya Bluemoon taught you really well, I will learn from her.

Now.

   Put away that disappointed look on your face and start class! Call me mentor sister from now on! Do you understand? "

—

Two days later, in the Bronzebeard dwarf territory of Thelsamar, Black riding on a hippogryph was rubbing his forehead, while the recovered little murloc sat on his shoulders, croaking and admiring the emerald green surrounded by snow-capped mountains in front of him. earth.

   Apparently, he loves this picturesque mountain with pleasant temperatures.

   But the pirates were not happy.

because

   "The first-stage entry-level void knowledge assessment will be conducted in a week, my little master, in the past three days, I have told you a total of twenty-seven void knowledge items in three categories.

   A week should be enough time for you to review them. "

  Xalatas whispered in Black's ear:

   "In addition to the test paper, I also prepared a spell casting test for you. If the total score is lower than 80, it will be regarded as unqualified. In addition to retaking the course, I will also impose a penalty on you.

   But I hope you better not fail the spellcasting test.

  You know, the knowledge of the void is actively seeking you, you have felt their echo, and if you fail, you will fall into the void.

   But don't worry.

  After you are completely depraved, I will take good care of you in the void, pinch hahahaha. "

  Essence of the Void finally succeeded in mastering the "correct way" to communicate with Black after many failures. She used knowledge as bait and bound the pirates to strict study regulations.

  She became serious.

   It was as if all the pomp and pomp had faded overnight, but such seriousness was not what Blake wanted.

  Under the guidance of Dean Lanyue, the pirates' learning efficiency of knowledge has been very high, but when dealing with the obscure Void knowledge, the progress is still slow.

  The knowledge that stems from the dark side of everything is not the same as all the magic that Black knows.

   More importantly, it is very dangerous.

   Every learning will trigger the echo of the void at the mental level. If the pirates relax a little bit, they may be taken advantage of by the echo of the void.

   The power of these pure void knowledge is pure, and pirates do not need to worry about being marked with corruption like facing the ancient gods, but the pure void is also a threat.

   In Xal'atath's words, the void is a mirror.

   When you look directly at it, it will give you the most realistic reflection. But there is the dark side of everything that exists in the material world, and everything from the void will have a dark attachment.

   The reflection it reflects is naturally not a harmless thing.

  Blake also hears psychic whispers as he learns the lore of the Void, but those whispers are no longer from the visible Old Gods, and no longer represent fallen evil.

   Those whispers came from his void-reflected mind.

   In other words, it was he who was "speaking" and he had to learn to capture real knowledge from the whispers, not the misinformation.

  The more cunning one is, the more and more complicated one hears in the reflection of the void.

  The real and the fake are mixed together. If you do not distinguish the real wisdom, it is easy to fall into the wrong inducement.

   And go deep into the void the wrong way, and the void will reward you with greater errors, until you are mired in error and twist your soul with forbidden knowledge.

   By that time, there were only two paths left in front of Blake.

   Either accept the twist, bow down to the taboo, become a servant of the void, and completely merge with Xal'atath to retain his last sanity.

  Either give up everything, get lost in the void, and can no longer find the way to the world.

   But the principle that the greater the risk, the greater the reward, is also true in the power of the void. As long as Black has been walking on the "correct path", the void will give him valuable power.

   After only three days of study, the pirate's way of assassin and warlock has a deep understanding of the power of legend.

   Probably because shadows and shadows are both Void subordinate forces, when Black stepped into the reality of Void, his understanding of shadows and shadows was greatly strengthened.

   This is the way he must go forward, he cannot retreat.

   In all the paths of power, Black never backed down.

After more than ten minutes of flying, Black, wearing a hunting suit and mask, rubbed his head, walked into the dwarf tavern in Thelsamar, and with a sense of exhaustion after studying hard, sat in front of the warm fireplace bar and greeted the dwarves. bartender said:

   "Here's a glass of wine for weary learners to warm my heart, and a delicious blood sausage to treat my stomach. My thirst for knowledge is cooing, and so is my stomach.

   In addition, I want to inquire about a few girls, there is a stupid girl with blue hair, she should be fine"

   Before Black's words were finished, the loud dwarf bartender laughed and said:

   "Well, you're talking about Little Xingxing, that lovely girl with a lot of money took her friends to fry fish on Lake Locke today. She even rented a boat."

   Pirates are not surprised that little stars can become household names in a matter of days.

   The little blue dragon princess has such a magical affinity, and he doesn't care, just find someone. As he held up the wine glass that smelled of wine, he said:

   "Okay, fishing, that's what a vacation should be, but it doesn't sound like she would choose. Wait, I seem to have hallucinations just now because of my long-term study.

   Either you said the wrong word and confused 'fishing rod' with 'dynamite'. "

  Black put down the wine glass and "looked" at the dwarf bartender who was preparing delicious blood sausage for him. Beside him, the little fishman holding the wine glass had already covered his eyes.

  Black asked earnestly:

   "You just said, what did she do?"
