Blake thought that the matter with Miss Emeril was over.

But it turns out that although he is cunning, he is still too young and cannot compare with the real Lao Jianghu in some things. The shadow guard sister in front of him brought him more than just this "surprise".

With the swelling on his face reduced, Emeril was about to leave with the support of the Shieldmaiden, when Windrunner's mother beside the pirate suddenly asked:

"My disciple just told me that you were able to resist after being captured by the evil god of the insect people, but you were quickly pulled into the realm of the void due to external factors.

I want to ask you, it shouldn’t be done by the insect caster, right?

On the way here, I read some autobiographies left by those who witnessed the War of Quicksand, and the content in them proves the point that there are not many spellcasters in the Insect Empire.

This is probably their weakest point.

If the number of insect spellcasters increases greatly in this thousand years, it will be almost a disaster for our next actions."

The question of Windrunner's mother is indeed critical.

But Black wanted to tell her that the inherent concept of bug people lacking spellcasters was completely wrong.

The reason why the Qiraji lack spellcasters is because the Qiraji themselves were a miserable "untouchable" in the Aqir Empire that was forcibly brought down by the Troll Empire.

Although after the collapse of the Yaqir Empire more than 14,000 years ago, the Qiraji found the loyalty of the Thousand-Eyed Demon C'Thun and were given the power of the void to rise again little by little from the edge of annihilation over a long period of time.

But the glory of the present cannot conceal the abjection of the past.

The records in the Golden Dynasty Library on Zandalar Island clearly stated that when the Troll Empire went on an expedition against the Insect Empire, the first batch of expeditionary legions were completely wiped out because they were surrounded and killed by the Aqir insect casters.

It's just that after the empire split, those high-caste bugs moved to other places, and during the ancient war that shattered the earth, they were permanently trapped under the frozen soil of Northrend.

Those noble insect people also established an empire in the frozen soil of Northrend that was no weaker than the Qiraji.

Therefore, it’s not that the insect-men don’t have spellcasters!

It's just that their warrior empire and mage empire have long been disconnected. If the two had never split, the Qiraji wouldn't have lost so miserably even if they faced the giant dragon in the Quicksand Battle.

However, this is not the crux of the problem, and it is very troublesome to explain, so the stinky pirate did not complain. He was also very interested in the "evil fall story" that Emeril staged in the insect nest.

"It was not a psychic attack on me by the Insect Soul Slayer. You can rest assured of that, Ms. Lyresa."

With the swelling on his face reduced, Emeril finally returned to the elegant state of the "goddess" of hunting she once was.

She stroked her cheek with lingering fear, probably recalling the truth about how she had been seduced and fallen. The elf ranger also had an expression of anger and embarrassment on his face.

She took a deep breath and said:

"Actually, it was not an accident that the bugs suddenly attacked our camp that night, but someone deliberately arranged it because we took in people we shouldn't take in.

The female orc named Garona is the target of the insect attack!

We're just stuck.

The driving forces behind those bug-men are those hidden bitches from the Twilight's Hammer!

When I chased him out, I almost succeeded in trying to tame a weak elite mutant, but at the most critical moment, the cultists hiding in the dark attacked me.

When I was taken into the insect nest, I met their leader in the incubator, a rare two-headed ogre named Cho'gall!

His chest is covered with depraved eyes.

The silithid originally wanted to sacrifice me to their dark god, but Cho'gall stopped them and said that I could be used as a bait to lure my companions into the insect nest and catch them all in one fell swoop.

He is an extremely cunning and vicious guy, and he has a deep understanding of the power of corruption. No wonder Garona, a legendary assassin who is so excellent and determined, has repeatedly failed to assassinate him."

Emeril said in a hateful tone:

"It was his will to help that insect hive that corrupted me. He personally released the law of corruption on me, causing my will to crumble in a short period of time.

Fortunately...

Fortunately, Mr. Black and you stopped the matter before it got worst, otherwise the secret passage established by the mentor might have been completely destroyed today under my leadership.

I...

I'm really not fit to be a leader."

Ms. Shadow Guard lowered her head and said sadly:

"Facts have proven this. I almost became a shame to Kaldorei. I almost destroyed the last dignity of the Hunter's Temple."

"Don't think so, Emeril."

After General Lilesa listened to Shadow Guard's self-narration, she patted Shadow Guard on the shoulder and said with a comforting tone from an elder:

"No one is destined to do great things from the beginning. Even a big bastard like my disciple Black Shaw, I believe he was still a pure baby when he was born, but darkness shaped him.

Destiny will also shape you, Emeril. Lin Ge and I have been friends for many years. I know how proud she is and how high-minded she is. The fact that she can pass on her mantle to you has proven that you have the secret to lead the way.

potential.

I believe you can do it."

"Hey, just keep talking and don't involve me, okay?"

Blake put his hands on his hips dissatisfiedly and said:

"What does it mean that darkness has shaped me? What does it mean to be born a pure baby? It sounds like I am dirty now. Can I take a shower every day?"

I am cleaner than 99% of the people in this world!

And mentor, don’t talk about these bad chicken soups. According to my standards, Ms. Emeril is indeed not a qualified leader.

Whether it is from the diplomatic perspective of accumulating contacts and developing a circle, from the internal affairs perspective of selecting talents and training warriors, or from the perspective of personal charm, she has many shortcomings.

Maybe it’s because Ms. Lin Ge died early and only taught her how to be a good hunter, but not how to be a good leader.”

Blake glanced at Miss Shadow Guard and shook his head. He crossed his arms and said:

"Teacher, did you really not understand what Emeril meant? Or are you pretending to be stupid? She wants to give you the position of leader of the Secret Path!

And I also think this idea is not a bad one.

No matter in terms of family background, strength or thinking, personal charm and strength, you are the perfect candidate to become the master of hidden path hunting.

If I were you, in order to save the soul of my old friend and save the legacy she left behind from disappearing in time, I would definitely take over this important task."

The smelly pirate snorted and said:

"And you are my chief retainer. When I need help, I also hope to see you leading the secret way to save my dog's life.

There is absolutely no reason to refuse.”

Blake probably wanted to retaliate against Windrunner's mother for saying bad things about him, so he deliberately made the "encrypted communication" between the two in front of him clear and put the problem on the table, making General Lyresa who wanted to decline suddenly become embarrassed.

She glared hard at her disciple who never suffered, and then looked at Emeril.

Probably because the experience of the past few days was too overwhelming, the failure at the burial place of her mentor also hit Emeril hard. Although she still tried her best to maintain her once proud posture, the sadness in her eyes could not be concealed.

But Mother Windrunner.

He wandered between life and death, and almost suffered a more tragic end than falling into death.

The experience of brushing against the evil god was really terrifying, and the girl in front of her, who was still very young by elven standards, was really overwhelmed.

She may not be afraid of death.

However, due to her own reasons, the Hidden Path was almost destroyed, which was obviously an unacceptable result for this girl who valued the inheritance of the Hidden Path more than her own life.

The more responsible a person is, the harder it is to maintain his or her state of mind in the face of such things.

Windrunner's mother sighed, Emeril Shadowguard really needs some time to recover. If the shadow in his heart cannot be eliminated, this genius ranger may just disappear from everyone.

Seeing Windrunner's mother hesitating, the Pirate Pirate immediately sent an assist:

"Moreover, mentor, look carefully at Emeril's eyes. The purple in her pupils represents a terrible hidden danger. Before C'Thun is eliminated, she is not suitable to lead the Secret Path.

Even if the ancient god who pushed her to fall died, she would have to go through a long period of solitude or practice to completely get rid of the influence of the power of the void on her.

A secret passage can't be leaderless, right?

Go lead them, mentor.

Teach them as you taught me."

"Okay, I can temporarily take over as the hunting master of the Secret Passage."

Windrunner's mother nodded.

But before Emeril and Black could smile, General Lilesa said expressionlessly:

"But when it comes to the person who knows the most about void knowledge in the world and hasn't gone crazy yet, I can't think of any other choice besides you.

You said yourself that Emeril needs to learn to resist the temptation of the void, so while I am temporarily acting as the Hunting Master, Emeril Shadow Guard will accept your guidance as an apprentice, my disciple.

this...

Just think of it as an exchange for increasing the pressure on me. What's your answer?"

The smiles on the faces of the stinky pirate and Miss Emeril froze at the same time.

Damn it!

Eat melon and eat it on your own head.

Sigh, I said, mentor, why don't you follow the routine?
To be continued...
