Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 941 38. Veteran, return to the battlefield!

   "This thing. It's ugly."

   In the hall of the Black Rook Castle cemetery, Blake looked at the dead creature in front of him and expressed his most heartfelt emotion.

  Xalatas, who was beside him, nodded in agreement and said:

   "It really doesn't have the proper appearance of the majesty of death. From this, it can be seen that Tarongol's understanding of the power of death is still at a very superficial level.

   He couldn't even show that kind of 'beauty' in his creation. "

"nice?"

  The pirate shrugged and asked:

   "What kind of beauty?"

   "The beauty of withering, the beauty of fairness, the beauty of indifference, the beauty of strength"

   Xalatas shook his head and said:

   "Death is the fairest force known in the material world and the will world, the scorching holy light, or the pursuit of balanced nature, or even the omnipotent void.

  As long as the concept of life exists, there must be a day when death will visit.

   It doesn't care whether you are great or humble, or whether you are honorable or mediocre.

   It's the only gift or punishment it can give you.

  All existence will wither, and after all things come to an end, only death will present you a farewell and welcome movement on the stage where you have existed.

   Even Void creatures like us still respect death.

   Not only respects that power, but also the justice that it has never slanted.

   But unfortunately, I can't see that kind of beauty in the ugly creature in front of me that only cares about piling up strength.

  Talongor really needs to be taught a lesson.

   He desecrated death. "

  The pirate nodded and looked silently at the thing in front of him.

   It was a massive aberration made up of various skulls and spines.

  It is roughly entwined by the dark green death aura, and like a spider, it stretches out pale bone spurs, and it has three particularly large heads composed of pale skulls.

   There is also a pair of claws made of spine.

   Its ferocious weapon has been thrown aside, and the death knights of the four Black Raven Chapters use their auras to bind this creation without self-consciousness, which is just a rough blend of many resentful spirits.

   It does have an intimidating feel to it.

   But that fear comes more from its poor appearance and terrifying roar.

   As Xalatas said, the creature of death has failed in every sense when one first saw it and felt ferocity rather than majesty.

"do you know?"

  Blake akimbo looked at the bound death monster in front of him, he whispered:

   "If you keep talking like that, it will make it easier for me to accept you, it will make you seem out of this world."

   "Well, it turns out that the little master likes this kind of tune."

  Xalatas covered his mouth and chuckled:

  "Is it the blasphemous and dark ugly mind that men generally have? It's like the process of personally guiding a pure priestess into desire

   Not only for the pleasure of those few seconds, but also for those evil thoughts that destroy beauty, which can make men's hearts feel more evil pleasure than simply releasing animal desires.

  I understand, you should have told me earlier, I will work hard in the future, little master.

   But now, you should head to the upper castle for the ceremony of welcoming Lord Ravencrest back from the dead. "

"Um."

  The pirate nodded, turned to leave, and after taking a few steps, he said to Xalatas:

   "Bring this ugly thing to the Nagfar, its powers mean nothing to us, but these forcibly mixed wraiths can serve as snacks for my little darling."

   "Of course, I'll take care of it myself."

  Xalatas was as she said, as if he had changed a person in an instant, leaning over with a very ladylike manner, and even his voice became a lot lighter.

   With the black robe she is wearing now, it really feels like a sincere nun.

  The stinky pirate walked into the darkness and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  Xalatas's harassment in recent days has really made him a little overwhelmed. Maybe this kind of guidance can make him easier, but he is sure that this little trick won't fool Xalatas for long.

   Or, in fact, never cheated.

   Miss Void Essence just pretended to be joking with him, and then took advantage of Black's vigilance to take advantage of the bottom line.

   After all, she has learned enough from Maiev's "success stories", and all she is waiting for is the next moment when the pirates are engulfed by bestiality.

   Judging from his performance last time, Blake really has no confidence in whether he can withstand the "attack" of Salatas.

   Sure enough, everything has two sides.

   Stepping up the stairs of Ravencrest Castle, the pirate quietly sensed his death prophecy beacon while drinking, and he quickly sensed the location information of the stinky woman.

   She is still on Watch Island, and she doesn't know what she's planning.

   Are you resting?

   With this thought in mind, the pirates advanced in the gloomy castle corridor. This place has not been rested for 10,000 years. The exterior looks intact, but many rooms inside have collapsed.

  The corners of the castle are covered with cobwebs, and some very troublesome things have grown in some hidden rooms. The aura of wraiths has been infested all the year round, making the castle full of a gloomy feeling.

   A normal person living here would probably go crazy in less than seven days.

   But as a place for death knights, this is perfect.

  Black doesn't even need to prepare horses for the Crow Knights. Black Rook Keep has a huge animal pen, which houses the nightsaber mounts of the elves.

   There is also a Hippogryph, which is standard for aerial combat.

   After ten thousand years, the faithful beasts also returned from the dead with their masters.

   Best of all, death didn't weaken their wildness, but gave them more dangerous powers.

  The pirate stepped up to the upper level of the castle. From the observation window, he saw the black raven knights driving the ghost hippogryph roaming high in the sky, which reminded him of the sky far away in Tol Barad who was recuperating.

  I really don't know if the poor little guy has regained his senses.

  Manager Axothus had better move quickly. If after Black goes back, it is not ready for the ceremony of rebirth of flames, the pirates will be very unhappy.

   "Kakaka"

   In front of Black, the dusty door of the Lord's Hall of Black Rook Castle was slowly pushed open.

  This place is quite well preserved, and you can still see the Ravencrest family crest hanging on the wall, as well as some decorative weapons that have been dusty for a long time.

   In the very center of the hall is a seat similar to a throne, and before the "throne" at this time, several death knights of the Ravencrest family were carrying a heavy sarcophagus and placed it on the magic circle in the center of the hall.

  Ilisana Ravencrest was a little nervous. She looked at the sarcophagus carved into a sword-wielding warrior before her, and she remembered the shameful assassination she witnessed 10,000 years ago.

  My father had just completed the deployment and deployment of the anti-demon coalition forces in this hall at that time, but when he walked out of the castle, he was assassinated by the queen's bodyguard, Varosen.

  I was here at the time and saw the whole process of the assassination.

   Even though 10,000 years have passed, that scene still reappears in every midnight nightmare. Even though she is no longer the simple noble lady she used to be, she still cannot save her father across time.

   She has a demon inside her that gives her power.

   But the inner demon in her heart was much deeper than the howling demon, so she never feared any demon.

  Ilisana's clansmen, those Ravencrests who have been resurrected as death knights, seem to feel the pain in the hearts of their only surviving clansmen.

   They gathered, and the men and women stood beside Ilisana, as if this would give Ravencrest's daughter more comfort and courage.

   However, the ruthless lich apparently did not care about these tender little moments.

   Dean Lanyue has heard about the Deathwing Dragon's Nest from the pirates. She is very interested in the World Destroyer's nest, and plans to go to the High Mountains to see it for herself after this resurrection is over.

   Maybe she can find some details forgotten by history from there, or find some favorable forces against the destroyers.

   After all, his disciple had only forced Deathwing back once before, and the World Destroyer was recovering, but it would eventually return to this world. At that time, everything related to Black would become the target of World Destroyer's revenge.

   Dean Lanyue must prepare in advance.

   "clang"

   The Aluneth Scepter was tapped by the dean on the edge of the circle on the ground.

   As a master of death knowledge and a lich with a mysterious connection to the Shadow Realm, she does not need the additional power provided by this gloomy castle.

   Under the gaze of the pirates, a large amount of pure death aura was passed along the holy staff to the lines of the resurrection circle, and the misty green aura quickly filled the entire circle.

   They surged like a tide, pouring into the sarcophagus under the control of the dean.

   The process is not complicated.

The difficulty of    lies in how to induce the aura of death. The resurrection of the deceased is only a manifestation of the origin of the power of death. It only needs to pour the spiritual energy of death into the corpse to awaken the soul of the dead.

   The premise is that the corpse has a soul that can be awakened, otherwise only a brainless walking corpse can be born.

   Pirates also know that the aura of death has another name, "The Power of Dominance".

   That is a kind of secret in the shadow world, the world of the dead, born in the lord of Maldroxus, but it was carried forward by the warden Zovall, who was exiled into the maw.

  Everyone is quiet at this moment.

The    ceremony has begun, and the focus of deciding whether Lord Kurotas Ravencrest can be resurrected has shifted to himself.

  Although judging from the situation of Black Rook Castle, Lord Ravencrest's soul should be the same as other soldiers. After death, he can't be freed and can't go to the Shadow Realm, but no one can guarantee this kind of thing.

  What if your lord really enjoyed your new life in the past?

   The smelly pirate who was present leisurely took out a bottle of wine and twisted the bottle cap. He was the only one who knew the truth. Lord Ravencase didn't go anywhere.

  He is here.

   That's a veteran.

   He will only stay on the battlefield until he sees the end of his war with his own eyes, he will not go anywhere.

   Just as the pirates took their third sip, the quiet sarcophagus suddenly moved. With the wide-eyed gazes of everyone except Ilisana and Maris, the sarcophagus suddenly vibrated.

   "He's still here!"

   Ilisana cheered in surprise.

   The next moment, the front of the sarcophagus, which was carved into a sword-wielding warrior, shattered with a bang, like a stone tablet smashed by a punch.

   As the gravel flew, Dean Lanyue used an elegant teleportation to send himself to the disciple, while Black pulled out Salamaine and waved continuously, smashing the incoming stones.

  The aura of death accumulated from the ten thousand years of silence is extremely strong, but it does not have an unpleasant rancid smell. The upper elves have their own set of corpse-collecting techniques, which can completely ensure that the corpse does not rot.

"boom"

   In the low noise, the left hand with the black gauntlet suddenly grabbed the edge of the sarcophagus, and then a tall figure suddenly stood up.

   He is also wearing the combat armor of the Black Crow Knights. The black armor is definitely a stature among elves, which brings a strong pressure to people.

  Unfortunately, after his death, the anger had left him, so that he could no longer mobilize the power of that anger.

   But this is the case. When Lord Kurotas Ravencrest opened his gray-white eyes and glanced around, the Ravencrests in the hall were still kneeling on one knee.

   and the death knights who were guarding outside also made an act of allegiance.

   Only the stinky pirate master and apprentice, and Ilisana stood there.

   The three of them deservedly received the attention of the lord who had risen from the dead.

   "Arya?"

   The Lord Lord, who just returned from death, seems to be still a little awake, and his mind is still stuck at the moment of his death. He looks at Dean Lanyue suspiciously while looking for weapons from left and right.

   he asked in pure Old Saras:

   "You've disappeared in the tragedy in Azsuna, and I sent someone to look for you, how could you. Wait, my voice. I. I am dead?"

   "It's dead, dead, but the dean and we have awakened you from death again."

  Black said straight to the point:

   "We need you, Lord Ravencrest, the world needs you. The demons are back, and after 10,000 years, they have once again set their sights on the poor world of Azeroth.

   And the young civilization of this era has no concept of what the demons can do. They need someone to remind them, and they need someone to lead them.

  Otherwise they are easily scared by demons. "

   "You, who are you? What are you?"

   Lord Kurotas clenched his fists instantly when he heard the word demon. He looked at Black and seemed to be wondering about Black's race, but then he was relieved when he saw the pirate's pointy ears.

   This is also a genie.

  I don’t know what race they are mixed with, but as long as they are elves, they are compatriots.

   "Tell me about the devil carefully, soldier!"

  Lord Ravencrest will obviously feel the changes in himself and the outside world, but compared to these, he is more concerned about the news of the attack of the devil, he said in an orderly tone:

   "Since they're coming back, we have to get ready, where are my generals? Where are my soldiers? You. Your eyes, your face Ilisana?"

  My treasure! ! "

"Father!"

  The trembling Ilisana stepped forward at the call of her father. When she became a demon hunter, she burned her eyes and couldn't cry, and she couldn't look at her father with her own eyes.

   But she still took a step forward with a crying voice, leaning over to her father.

   She wanted to tell her story over the years, but Lord Ravencrest hugged his relatives first.

   He patted her on the shoulder and said in an emotional tone:

   "Needless to say, my daughter.

  I feel the aura of a warrior from you. I don’t know how you, who used to be delicate, became what you are now, but I know that it must be very hard.

  I failed to protect you. "

  The brave demon hunter curled up in her father's arms, she kept shaking her head, but couldn't say anything.

  Black curled his lips, took a step forward with no wink, took the rune sword specially prepared for Lord Ravencrest from Maris Demon Calamity, and offered it with both hands.

  Smelly Pirate says:

   "This is your weapon, Lord.

   Maybe you can choose another time to have a long talk with your daughter, but given the current situation, I think it is necessary for you to "make up for the lesson" first.

   After all, the elf empire is over, and now, 10,000 years later, is completely different from your original era. Those who left cannot be saved, and those lost are destined to be recalled only.

   The advantages of the past are gone, and the problems at hand are full.

   I know this is cruel, but you have to start from scratch.

   Anyway, welcome back to the battlefield.

   Veteran. "
