22. You say it's not a coincidence?(1/2)
Miss Marvel, who had witnessed the disaster with her own eyes, heard Black's inquiry, which made her feel that the mysterious gentleman beside her seemed to have a way to save the crisis.
Pirates certainly can.
Now when he goes to Zin Assali, he can easily kill through the demon army alone and strangle all the evil elements in that city to death one by one.
Or just have a central flower.
Stand on the top of Queen Azshara's palace and perform "The Coming of the Silent One", easily turning all the demons into psychopaths and making them kill each other.
This is very easy for a living god.
But here's the problem.
To put it bluntly, the pirates' actions 10,000 years ago were a "stowaway".
Although the conspirators in the other world have not yet sent the minions of death to Azeroth, given the importance of this world, Emperor Denathrius has already laid out his spies.
The Dread Lords who came with the legions all had the eyes of the King of Sin. Once Black showed up here with great fanfare, his plan to have a secret meeting with Sargeras was ruined.
Although the time span is ten thousand years apart, the impact of changing time on the future is instantaneous. Blake has experienced this many times.
The increase in "non-existent memories" is simply hard to guard against.
He must keep a low profile.
To put it simply, you must play the negative side, not the positive side.
Fortunately, Blake is better at this kind of covert destruction than frontal combat. His old silver coin style can maximize destructive power and stealth under such tactics.
"Go ahead and tell the high-ranking priests in the temple what you saw, and then they will report it to the city's higher-ups."
Black patted the pale Miss Maiev on the shoulder and said in his ear:
"Let them prepare for the attack of demons. As for the refugees... they can be saved, but it depends on your army's organization and determination."
"Must save!"
Maiev made the ceremonial gesture of the Church of the Moon on her chest, and she said seriously:
"This is Lady Elune's teaching."
"No, the Moon Goddess will not appear at this time. I have agreed with her in advance, you little fool."
The pirate corrected:
"This is entirely your own idea."
"Can you save them? Lord Black, if you are strong enough to talk to Ms. Elune, you must have a way to calm all this, right?"
Maiev looked at the pirate, who shrugged and said casually:
"You can, but it's not necessary. This is not my war, Miss Priest, this is your trouble. My involvement in it will not do you or me any good at all.
But I promised that you can make a request to me every time you hear a story, so, Miss Maiev, do you want me to save those poor people who are about to fall into the mouth of the devil?"
"I..."
Maiev wanted to answer, but saw Blake put his finger in front of her face and shook his head. The pirate said in a meaningful tone:
"Do you remember our conversation last night? You should be more careful before making a wish."
The trainee priest hesitated for a moment. She thought seriously for a moment and nodded to Blake. She temporarily saved this opportunity to make a wish, and with the help of the pirate driving wind, she was sent back to the temple dome.
Maiev straightened her clothes and walked quickly towards the steps of the temple. She wanted to tell the high priest what she had just seen. Behind her, Black reminded:
"Attribute everything to the revelation of the Moon God, Miss Maiev. For the sake of the mental safety of the priests, please do not expose my existence for the time being."
"I see."
Maiev replied and quickly walked down the stairs to the temple hall.
At a glance, she saw Tyrande, the trainee priest who was on duty to clean the temple today, talking to a tall moon guard on the grass in front of the temple.
Maiev recognized that guy.
His name is Illidan Stormrage, and he is Tyrande's good friend who grew up with him. He seems to have an older brother. Looking at the powerful and mysterious Moon Guard robes on his body, this kid should have joined Kutalos.
Under the command of Lord Ravencrest.
Miss Shadowsong is not a gossip.
She didn't think of stepping forward to eavesdrop on the conversation between the childhood sweethearts.
But she keenly felt Illidan's anxiety, and seemed to be persuading Tyrande to leave the temple and go to a safer place.
This made Maiev feel that the situation was serious again. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the high priest's meditation room, walked in, and told her mentor everything she saw.
"This is Lady Elune's will, mentor. She allowed me to see all of this, the people who escaped from Zin-Azshari, and those terrifying alien demons. This is a warning from the gods.
We must report this immediately."
Maiev's report made the high-ranking priest look at her very talented disciple in surprise.
She hesitated.
It stands to reason that clergy should pay attention to such "oracles", but now it is different from the past. After Lord Ravencrest took over the city's defense, it may be inappropriate to rely on oracles without providing evidence.
.
After all, the high lord is an upper elf who does not believe in the moon god. They believe more in the evidence they have seen with their own eyes and the logic based on arcane power.
But High Priest Ms. Diana believes that her apprentices will not joke about this kind of thing. Maiev Shadowsong is one of her two most promising apprentices. This girl will definitely become Elune in the future.
High Priest.
She couldn't lie in the name of the gods.
"You and I come, and we will inform the great lord of the information you saw."
The high-ranking priest thought for a moment, stood up and said something to her disciple, but there were still some words she had not said.
Diana was well aware of Maiev's intention to tell her this information, and her apprentice hoped to save those who were fleeing. However, as a high-ranking priest who had participated in foreign wars with trolls, Lady Diana knew very well the way soldiers think.
If the terrifying demon is really about to attack, Lord Ravencrest will probably not take the risk of dispersing the city's defense forces and allocate his strength to rescue the poor people who are being pursued.
The war came so suddenly, and the city's defense was far from complete.
The young Maiev did not realize this. While her instructor was preparing, she quickly returned to her dormitory, took off her bow and put on her quiver, and also took out a sword and wore it behind her back.
The priests of Elune are not just reciting scriptures. Every high-level priest is a very powerful warrior. But as Black complained before, the Elven Empire has been at peace for too long, and the trainee priests are not familiar with combat skills.
The practice is somewhat rusty.
She walked out of the Temple of the Moon and followed her mentor on the mistsaber as a means of transportation to Lord Ravencrest's headquarters. This scene was noticed by Tyrande who was escorting Illidan away from the temple.
She saw her companion Maiev and her mentor leaving with weapons, and the smart trainee priest looked at Illidan beside her who was persuading her to leave Suramar.
She hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice:
"Illidan, tell me honestly, is this city going to change? Is a war coming?"
"Well..."
Illidan bit his lip. He glanced at the beautiful face of the girl who grew up with him, and after a few seconds, he whispered with a straight face:
"I can't tell you, this is military business."
Although he refused, it was actually a change of affirmation, which fully proved Illidan's cleverness. He had been very good at exploiting loopholes in this kind of thinking since he was a child.
"Is that why you persuade me to leave Suramar and go to a safer place?"
Tyrande took a deep breath, realizing the seriousness of the problem, and said:
"Does Malfurion know?"
Hearing that Tyrande immediately cared about Malfurion after learning of the danger, a dim light flashed across Illidan's unique amber eyes. He shook his head and said:
"I can't contact my brother. He must still be learning spells with the old-fashioned Cenarius in the forest. Val'sharah is far away from here, and he will not be in danger.
What matters now is you, Tyrande.
You must obey!
Leave here immediately, I will use magic to send you to the Moon Guard Fortress, and you can leave from there to find Malfurion in Val'sharah, he...he will protect you."
"how about you?"
Tyrande frowned and said:
"Won't you come with me?"
"I am a soldier, Tyrande."
Illidan touched the emblem of Black Crow Castle on his chest and said:
"Lord Curtalos values me. He said that I will definitely achieve something great. He gave me respect and the opportunity to display my ambition. I can't let him down, and I can't let myself down.
I will prove to Malfurion that even if I cannot become a qualified druid, I will become a powerful mage.
Those demons...
Don't worry about me, Tyrande, I've already killed a demon!
I will kill more."
To be continued...
