MTL - Azeroth Shadow Trail-Chapter 64 63. Humility makes progress

   Chapter 64 63. Modesty Makes Progress

   Because of the rapid heating up of the Quel'Thalas battlefield, the situation on the Hinterlands side is cooling down rapidly.

   In just seven or eight days, as the elites of the Alliance Tribe evacuated further north, it quickly turned into a secondary battlefield, where the human army was still fighting the orcs, but the intensity of the battle dropped a lot in vain.

   However, it does not prevent Blake from continuing to "glow" here.

It is said that Major Fairbanks, who succeeded General Turalyon and commanded the battlefields of the Hinterlands, has applied for a second commendation order for Black, in order to reward the worthy "orc killer" for his battle on the battlefield. Outstanding contribution to the alliance.

"When Saurfang left the Hinterlands to support the war in Quel'Thalas, he left a few commanders here to look after my old Overseer Treygg, now in command of the orcs of the Hinterlands force."

   Near Lake Warowen, which had been the center of the war a few days ago, Black was following Garona, heading for the large army camp where the orcs stayed.

  The legendary assassin scurries through the shadows while briefing Black.

   In her accented human language, she said:

   "That old Overseer. How should I put it, he is one of the few 'moderates' among the current orcs, I mean, he is as brave as other orcs.

   But more brainy.

   I doubt that the reason why I was able to escape so smoothly was that Trigger deliberately gave me a chance. Although he never said it, every time the old orc looked at me, there was a hidden pity in his eyes. "

  Garona shook her head, putting this complicated emotion behind her.

   She walked silently on the edge of Lake Warowen, walking around like a stroll in the courtyard, with Blake who followed, around the core area of ​​​​the tribal military camp.

she says:

   "I didn't bring you here to assassinate Trigg. In the military camp, there is a high-quality soul stone you need, which is in the hands of an orc warlock named Kridan.

  The Moon Clan, a loyal servant of Gul'dan, is a senior member of the Shadow Council, but his strength is not strong, and it is still at a level that you can deal with.

   He pretended to be loyal to Orgrim Doomhammer, but actually stayed in the Hinterlands as a support for Gul'dan. I doubted that once Gul'dan called, Kridan would immediately betray.

  He has already recruited a lot of brainless guys here, and once Trigg is taken over by him, the old orc is likely to die at his own hands. "

   "Kridan?"

  Black blinked and asked:

   "Kridan the Crusher? A sorcerer magic who is good at using brimstone and fire?"

   "Well, that's him. You know him?"

  Garona glanced back at Black, she asked a question, and Black replied casually:

   "Ravenholdt's intelligence network is great, and my colleagues will take note of any noteworthy guy in the war, whether it's someone as famous as you.

   is also a warlock who likes to play with fire among the green skin groups. "

   Garona nodded.

   She did not doubt Black's claim.

   In fact, judging from the contact with Ravenholdt in the past war, this very promising human assassin alliance can indeed do similar things.

   But Black knew about this orc warlock Kridan, but it was not from Ravenholdt's intelligence network.

   but because this guy also appeared in the game.

   Well, this guy really likes playing with fire.

   "He's right ahead!"

   A few minutes later, above an orc bunker, Garona stood in the shadows and pointed to Black, a wooden three-story masonry building in an orc style.

she says:

   "I will help you guard around you, the warlock and his servants will be handed over to you, that guy has his own contracted demon beside him, he is a very vigilant bastard.

   That gadget of yours can come in handy, but you better not rely on it too much.

  If you want to go further on the path of shadow, you have to use those auxiliary items as a means of lifesaving, not a means of attack, in my experience, shadows clearly prefer pure assassins.

and this. "

  The legendary assassin threw a circle of things.

   That thing was also covered by shadows. Blake took it in his hand and found that it was a coiled iron coil. Judging from the blood stains on it, this thing was used very frequently by Garona.

   "The magic of warlocks needs to be chanted. In fact, you human spellcasters are also the same. When you are not sure that one hit will kill you, finding a way to remove their spellcasting ability is the first choice.

  The sorcerers and wizards who cannot cast spells are no different from lambs to be slaughtered.

   Your stealth may be detected by a warlock like Kridan, who is also soaked in shadows, so you will need this thing.

   This coil is also a technique I learned from you human assassins, it can cut throat and vocal cords with a little force, many times it is better than a dagger. "

  The Legendary Assassin glanced at Black and said in a serious tone:

   "I have trusted your wisdom, but I do not trust your skill. Facing an opponent like the Shadow Council, any mistake is fatal.

   So on the way from the Hinterlands to the hills, I will train you in my way, but if I don't see what you promised me, it belongs to Gul'dan's downfall

   Before I die, I will cut your neck with my own hands! "

   "I serve death, ma'am."

  Black hung the cut-throat coil around his waist, and while sneaking towards the assassination target in front of him, he said:

   "If you want to threaten me, you should do it another way."

   There are not many orcs in the three-story stone castle.

  Evidently even after drinking the blood of demons, the orcs didn't like to stay with the warlock. Three wounded orcs were lying on the bottom and were touched by Black.

   Holding his nose and mouth, he killed them one by one with a dagger without making any sound.

   He re-entered the shadows and sneaked to a higher level. Garona, who was watching from the outside, shook her head repeatedly. This human assassin is very talented, but obviously he has not undergone professional assassin training.

   With his shadow control power, a silent assassination like this should never have broken out of the shadow.

   But he didn't learn the skills of maintaining continuous shading in the shadows, his foundation was a mess, and he didn't know how this orc killer got his name.

   Perhaps, he was lucky?

  Up to the second floor, Black immediately smelled a sulfurous smell.

   He looked around vigilantly, and could feel the fluctuation of the shadow. There should be a demon hiding in the shadow nearby. If he guessed correctly, it should be a succubus.

   And his target, Kridan the Crusher, was busy doing something on the stone platform on the edge of the second floor, and he could see wisps of green fel energy shining, probably doing some evil attempt by a warlock.

  Black took a few steps over there, and the busy warlock immediately looked back.

   was noticed!

   is indeed a warlock who is also infiltrated with the power of shadows, and is so sensitive to the fluctuations of shadows.

  Black didn't waste any time, the shadow step started, crossed the shadow in an instant, and appeared behind Keidan.

With his hands stretched forward, the slender and throbbing iron coils were like a noose, and were ferociously twisted around the neck of the warlock. Black broke out of the shadow, and the black smoke-like shadow shattered. He put his left foot on the back of the warlock and pulled his hands backward .

  The sharp iron coil slammed into the warlock's flesh and blood in an instant, destroying the vocal cords of the throat, and at the same time, the orc's neck splattered with blood.

   But the skin of this warlock is abnormally tough.

   It's like some kind of fine scales are growing.

   With Black's power, he could easily cut a human's throat under such a gag attack, but at this time, the coil was blocked when it got into his neck, and he couldn't continue to cut.

"boom"

The    Warlock's reaction was also very fast. The moment he realized that he was attacked and lost his ability to cast spells, a flame filled with sulfur was smashed behind him.

   At the same time, the succubus hidden in the shadows also howled and threw the bone spur whip, rushing towards Black.

"Well"

   Brimstone and fire made Blake feel like he was in the furnace for a moment. The scorching pain made his body shake, but the next moment, the moment the orc warlock picked up a flame amulet, the tidal spell was activated.

   "Boom"

   The tide slammed around, smashing Kridan and his succubus into a stun at the same time, Black took a step back, and the heavy black sword fell into his hands.

   With his Kul Tiras military swordsmanship, he raised his hands and slashed forward with a wide-ranging slash.

   "Poof"

   Blood splattered.

   Maybe the warlock has magic buffs like magic armor, demon skin, etc.

  Perhaps the life force of a demon like the succubus is far beyond ordinary.

   But in the face of the sharpness and magic-breaking ability of the legendary blade, it is not as difficult to cut down the two of them as it is to cut down the wood.

   Warlock and his succubus were nearly cut in half.

   But this time, Black did not directly gain "experience". In the harsh howl, there was a strange purple crystal-like thing on the stone table in front of Keidan's eyes, and the surface lit up with a purple streamer.

  Soul Stone!

   A special magical container used by warlocks to store souls. At the same time that Black hacked Kridan to death, the soul stone also absorbed his soul.

   Succubus also has no experience in the account.

  These demons will be recalled to the twisted void beyond the stars at the moment of death. Unless you are prepared, it is difficult to kill a demon in this world.

   They will respawn in the Twisting Nether, but long-term weakness is certain.

"This is it."

  Blake supported his body with his sword. The pain caused by the sacrificial fire just now disappeared. He reached out and picked up a few soul stones on the table in front of him and listened to it.

   You can still hear screams inside.

   "None of these, too weak, I can't get in."

  Sefir's voice also sounded at this time, she said:

   "There must be a soul stone of higher quality. It should be on him. Search it, as you have done for the past seven days. I hope you have better luck this time."

   "I've always had good luck, like now."

  Blake put away his sword, picked up the magic spell that Kridan wanted to activate just now from the pool of blood, and a new entry popped up in the character card equipment column:

  Crusher's Talisman

  Excellent quality. Strengthen haste. Strengthen magic power

  Additional magic: Hellfire (need to guide)

"cool."

  The pirate happily wears this orc-style magic talisman around his neck.

  Although this thing is completely used by the caster, it is the second piece of equipment with active magic effects that he has obtained after the Tide Charm.

  Look at the entry description to know that this amulet can activate a warlock magic hellfire.

  No loss!

  Blake grinned and bent down to rummage over Kridan's body. Soon, he got a small animal skin pocket with two distinctive soul stones in it.

   was bigger, greener, and more crystal clear. He held it like a green gem in his hand. Blake held it up in front of his eyes, and he could even see the light refracted in it.

   "This should be okay, right?"

   he asked.

  Sefir did not answer, but with the help of Blake, he extracted his soul from the shackles of the Soul Lamp with difficulty.

   turned into a small dragon-shaped phantom and scurried into the soul stone in front of him.

   "very crowded"

   Young Dragon said:

   "But it's barely enough. The magic power of this stone is being lost. It is estimated that it will take a month at most to replace it."

   "One month, enough."

  Black put away the soul stone and put the Sefir one in his pocket. He looked left and right, jumped into the shadows, and glanced at the character card with a subtle expression.

  In the skill column, there is an active skill given by non-class:

   throat lock (primary)

   "So it is."

  Blake glanced at the blood-stained iron coil in his hand, thinking a little.

   The promotion of rank will bring talents and skills, but only one will be available every five levels. Although those skills are very powerful, it is obviously impossible for a clever assassin to run rampant on the battlefield relying on those skills.

   And the other common skills that the class will not give do not exist, but he needs to take the initiative to train and learn under the guidance of his mentor.

   "Character cards are just the beginning. This is the real way to power. Moreover, I probably know how to complete the 'shadow trial' of the pirate class."

  The pirate put away the coil and grinned.

   He was already eager to try.
