MTL - Azeroth Shadow Trail-v2 Chapter 1983 7. Azeroth Holiday: The Teachings of the Bald Emperor
Chapter 1983 7. Azeroth Holiday · Lectures of the Bald Emperor
Although Azeroth has changed so much in the past 100 years that every time Lord Black comes back, he will feel that this is almost another fantasy world of swords and magic, but in this ever-changing world, there are always some things that are beyond the time. outside.
For example, what makes Black very gratified is that even after a hundred years have passed, the damned Northrend is still the desolate and bad appearance he remembered.
Of course, the Northern Sea Route along the Azeroth trade route passes through very prosperous places.
Several overseas territories of the Empire of Humanity here have their own capitals and cities. Relying on the good natural environment and rich resources, the people here live a prosperous and very united life, such as bears and walruses who actively integrate into the changes of the world. Aliens also built their own cities and settlements in the mountains.
But the natural geographical location of Northrend determines that there are still vast areas of this continent that are located in the Arctic Circle of the planet, and those places are difficult to fully develop in the harsh environment all year round.
Plus, Northrend is also home to the Scourge.
Although in today's world environment, the existence of death knights has become a kind of no-species among many professions, and some guys even take the initiative to find undeads and try to join them for various reasons, but for most of them For normal people, the necromancer is still an unwelcome friend.
The Eternal Blood War that took place in the Shadow Country lasted for a hundred years. For the conflict between the Forces, this is just the beginning. For high-level professionals and historians, the inside story of the Eternal Blood War is not indisputable. But don't expect the common man to know the difference between the undead of the Shadowlands and the undead of Azeroth.
Therefore, there is a saying in many areas that "dead people who climb out of their graves are big bad guys". For these crazy words, the Lich King Lothar will not take the time to respond.
His old man is still busy in the maw, punching all kinds of enemies that are not pleasing to the eye.
In fact, a hundred years later, the Scourge Legion in the Maw has become a line of defense to limit the war to the realm of the dead. People in the material world can live in peace thanks to these sleepless people who have been watching for hundreds of years.
Although Mr. Black and the six major domains agreed on the scale of the war and the location of the battlefield, in the six major force domains, there are many lunatics who want to expand the eternal **** battle.
No one else will say it. The big demons of the Burning Legion are very eager to rekindle the war in the two battlefields of the Shadow Realm and the Material World. Don't think about what these demons think, or what their crazy desires are. Purpose.
If you can figure out what's going on in their burning, mush mind, it only means that you are definitely not an ordinary person, brother.
In short, as the base camp of the Scourge, Northrend is a place forgotten by civilization in the current Azeroth, and this forgetting is based on a civilization consensus.
All rulers respect these undead who watch over the world and keep them at a distance.
But today is a different one.
A steel ship newly assembled by the Kul Tiras National Institute of Aircraft and Ships was cutting through the cold fog of the frozen sea at dawn, and the rapid rotation of sixteen high-energy propellers also set off gusts of wind above the North Sea. The soldiers on the stern watchtower used the lights as a semaphore to communicate with a North Sea Fleet reconnaissance ship cruising on the sea below.
He was identifying himself with the ship, and the scout ship below was clearly in the shape of a warship but not part of the fleet of some official political entity in Azeroth.
Their existence is a "historical problem", and its context can even be traced back to the split of the undead fleet of the great pirate faction a hundred years ago.
That was a complex event that had a fairly significant impact on the situation in the Endless Sea of Azeroth.
The aftermath of is still in effect even today.
To put it simply, after the great pirate Black Shaw, who ended an era, left Azeroth, his huge fleet fell apart in everyone's expectations. Several major factions in the fleet fought each other for the pirate legacy left by Black. There was a big fight between them, which also mixed some conspiracy and tricks involved in the Cursed Fleet of the South China Sea and the Black Spirit Pirates of the Eastern Continent.
The sea battle that spanned the entire endless sea lasted for seventeen years, and millions of lives were involved in it.
In the end, the fox queen Eudora joined the North Sea Pirate King Anne Bonn, and secretly colluded with the Kul Tiras fleet to defeat the other pirate factions in the fateful Khaz Modan waters.
The elven pirates were almost wiped out in that battle, leaving only the flagship Moonshire Pride and seven ships to return to their home port of Suramar.
The orc pirates lost their strength and were forced to withdraw from Azeroth and return to the "big bathtub" in Draenor to recuperate.
The big troll pirate, the Duke of Storms, and the cursed pirate king Gaboa who wanted to pick peaches at random sank in the icy sea along with their flagship Reaper.
Well, he just took his own life again.
But the old guy was happy again after his second death, madly returning to the state of the dead, and madly searching for the "eternal treasure" left by Blake in the shadow kingdom and the material stars.
It is said that someone else saw the tattered Reaper and its mad and happy captain raiding a group of hapless pandaren merchant ships in the Pandaria waters last month.
After that war, the undead fleet and the cursed pirates, the mortal rivals, disappeared in history together, and the golden age of pirates finally came to an end. Today, there are still a large number of pirates in this era. Activities in various fields, but they are also difficult to The pirate peak of Blake Shaw's era is recreated.
But probably apart from them, no one will miss that era.
But the union of Eudora and Anne Bonn at least kept the North Sea's fundamentals for Black, and that naval battle was the last naval battle commanded by old Dalene. Admiral Lin signed the agreement with these pirates on behalf of the Human Empire.
They can retain dominion over the frozen sea until the last legitimate undead pirate dies of old age on the sea.
This is a rather legendary agreement. Everyone knows that the North Sea will one day return to the embrace of the human empire, but the tenacity of the North Sea pirates is far beyond everyone's expectations.
In order to protect the last piece of territory left by Lord Black Shaw, the Pirate King of the North Sea, Anne Bonn, transformed herself into a demigod.
It is said that two-thirds of the pirates in her North Sea Fleet are now dead.
In addition to them, the fox queen Eudora also opened up the high-level relationship of the human empire through terrifying wealth.
Although Her Majesty Eudora died of old age in the Waldun Desert more than 20 years ago, the fox queen who took over is still firmly safeguarding the interests of the North Sea Fleet.
These warships now cruising the frozen sea are the eyes and ears of this rather legendary fleet. It is not that no one has provoked them, but every provocation will receive a resolute and fierce response.
A discerning person knows that the Narsalas Academy on Tol Barad Island is the biggest supporter of this fleet. As long as the now-famous Academy does not collapse, the legend of the North Sea Fleet will continue.
"After I die, you have to find a way to bring the North Sea Fleet and the Frozen Sea under the rule of the Empire."
On the deck of this steel ship that flew over the frozen sea, His Majesty Varian Wrynn, who was only wearing a black robe, looked blankly at the warship hidden in the cold fog below.
In the cold wind, His Majesty the Emperor exhaled a burst of white air and said to His Highness Miasas who was wearing armor beside him:
"It's not just humans who covet the wealth of this frozen sea. Quel'Thalas and the elven nations have been trying to turn this place into their territory, and the alien alliance in the north has grown stronger in the past century. The human kingdom has already swallowed Northrend, and the one-eyed king who single-handedly unified the vrykul civilization is a ruthless character.
He and his vicious queen and his sons are the beasts that are about to emerge and will be your worst enemy for hundreds of years to come. If you can't hold him down now, sooner or later, the Imperium of Humanity and the vrykul will have another battle in the North.
To avoid war, you must show enough tough Mia Sas! are you listening? "
"I'm listening, Your Majesty!"
Angel Princess responded at once, but the old Varian shook his head and sighed:
"No, your mind is not here, you are thinking about your father? Black?"
"You are my father"
The double-winged princess said this, it sounds like a pre-task of "filial piety to the father", but it is not the case.
Princess Miasas is just stating a fact.
She had married Anduin Wrynn, the only son of His Majesty Varian, seventy years ago. The relationship between the two was very good, and it was not a political marriage.
For the future of Miasas, Prince Anduin even voluntarily gave up his right to inherit the empire, and just took over the family title and became the Archduke Stormwind of the empire.
The two have three grown children.
From a legal point of view, she does call Varian her father.
"You're just being silly."
Varian showed no mercy to his heirs and daughter-in-law.
The emperor who has been in the army for a lifetime, the great human who is about to go to Icecrown Glacier to fulfill his promise and succeed His Majesty Lothar as the second Lich King reprimanded in a deep voice:
"Even if you already know your father's difficulties, the inertia developed by years of wrong thinking still makes you unable to face him, and you are still complaining that he forcibly took your mother away.
But listen to me, boy.
This is the best ending for your mother, I know from the bottom of my heart, you don't want your mother to leave you and this world. "
Having said this, Varian lost his serious expression, shook his head, and sighed:
"This is also what I want to see, I regard Calia as the eldest sister, and I also hope that she can get rid of this dull politics and have a good old age, you should be happy for your mother now.
She was finally freed and embraced the happiness she longed for.
As for your father
As for Blake.
Well, I have nothing to say about him, he was never a likable person, but you can't deny him that.
Whether it is from the daughter's point of view or from the emperor's point of view, you should accept your father and admit his mistakes. In the end, he did not see you to protect you.
Are those memories still haunting you? "
"There are still some residues."
Faced with the question from His Majesty Varian, whom she respects very much, Miasas didn't hide it. She reached out and took off her golden Blitz helmet and shook her blond hair like a waterfall.
As the white wings swayed behind her, she said in a hoarse voice:
"Those memories that belonged to Gristia occasionally appear in front of my eyes, but compared to the empty and uninteresting past, my life as a human in the past 100 years is obviously much more fulfilling.
So, if you insist on an answer, I will tell you.
The eternal one chose the cycle of life and death to enter the material world in order to find liberation, and now she has got what she wants.
I'm Miasas Menethil Proudmoore!
I am the daughter of Calia Menethil, the heir to the Imperium of Man and will be the queen of this empire when the sun rises tomorrow morning.
I am who i am! "
"Very good, I am very satisfied with this answer."
Varian looked back at his heir with admiration, and said:
"Don't forget to add that sentence when you introduce yourself next time, you are still the eldest daughter of Blake Shaw, you are the sole heir of Derek Proudmoore and Calia Menethil, you are the most powerful man in the Empire of Man. A direct descendant of noble blood, just like Ser Anduin Lothar was.
You are destined to push our civilization and empire to the pinnacle of its rise.
Well, before I am about to resign from this heavy duty, it is necessary for me to tell you the biggest secret hidden in the position of human emperor.
This is a secret that only emperors can know.
I have had a mentor who has taught me about the arts of power and **** since the eve of becoming emperor, and now she will be your mentor. "
"Is that Queen Azshara?"
Princess Miasas raised her eyebrows, which made her look heroic.
she whispered:
"I learned this secret once in a while from my aunt and my mother's small talk. I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't tell you, I already knew the little secret of His Majesty the Emperor."
"No, you don't know, child. You don't know the truth about this secret."
Varian showed a weird smile, took out a symbol of the Empress of the Deep Sea Empire from his robe, and stroked the symbol with nostalgia. He said softly:
"Queen Azshara relied on her own efforts to shape the godhead thirty-three years ago, becoming the second **** born in this world, and becoming the spokesperson of the arcane field, one of the six forces, under the stars, she Now indeed active in the battlefields of the Eternal Blood War, striving for glory for the arcane realm, but a projection of her power has remained in the Throne Room of Stormwind.
After you go back, you can use this key to open the secret room.
But remember, Myasas, my daughter, that arcane deity means something different to others than you means to you, and she's not just your mentor on the road to domination.
is still your elder. "
The human emperor, who was already bald due to busy state affairs, showed a rather strange expression. He looked left and right, and whispered to the next emperor in a low voice:
"She was the last lover of your divine father, and as far as I know, that mighty queen has missed your father dearly since his departure.
I don't know if the two of them will continue their relationship.
But maybe you have enough reasons to be closer to Queen Azshara, which is a good thing, you have to grasp this unique relationship, which can bring more benefits to your rule and empire. "
"I knew it!"
Princess Miasas clasped the krait emblem in her hand with her fingers, and she complained:
"Everything about that man is so vulgar! My mother is so good and perfect, why would she like such a bad person?"
"Well, as far as I know, it was Blake that your mother pursued."
Varian pouted and said:
"You don't care about the elders, especially those related to Black, it's easy to ruin your three views. Well, look, Icecrown Glacier is here.
My promise is about to be fulfilled, and His Majesty Lothar can finally rest.
The Queen of Winter has promised to send his weary soul into the cycle of life and death, so if possible, Miasas, you should try to find new life for Ser Lothar as much as possible.
Give him a happy life, maybe not so glorious and so legendary, but I hope he will have no regrets in his second life.
This is the last thing I beseech you.
Well, no, there is one more thing. "
His Majesty the Emperor was a little hard to say, but he still said in a low voice:
"I know you and Anduin have their own way of getting along, and he seems to enjoy it, but he's the Grand Duke of Storm after all, and it's a bit embarrassing to have my son attend a diplomatic event with panda eyes.
If there is a conflict between you, maybe it can be resolved in a softer way, it is not a good idea to fight in front of the children. "
"This"
The next queen of the empire bowed her head in a guilty conscience.
After a few seconds, she turned her face away and looked to the other side, complaining in a low voice:
"Your son is my husband, everything is good, but he always steals cards when he and I play poker for entertainment, and I don't know how this problem developed, but he is a hundred years old and he still doesn't change after repeated teachings. Like a bear child.
I also cough, well, Your Majesty, I will try my best to control my temper.
I promise! "
"Fine, then I have nothing to worry about."
Varian took a step back in satisfaction.
Looking at the Icecrown Glacier and the gloomy dark spires that were so close in front of him, he let out a long breath. In this low temperature that was so cold that his soul was frozen, he said to Mia Sas:
"Go, don't have to accompany me here on my last journey, go to Cordara, where your father is, and he and his second mate have a hundred-year promise that will be fulfilled tonight.
This may be the last time your father will return to this world in the next hundred years, and few people know exactly what Blake Shaw is doing after leaving this world, but I happen to be one of those who do.
I can tell you, my successor, that the work your father is doing is very sacred and noble, and it is a cause that all human beings in this world can hold in awe.
You should say goodbye to him.
Don't let your life have regrets, child.
Trust me, your father loves you very much. No one in this world loves you as much as he does. You are his biggest concern when he walks the heavens and the world.
Go.
Face your heart. "
