Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Tempest
"Meow!"
"Alright, alright, I got it! I'll catch fish for you!"
It had been half a month since Etis sailed with Uther to the Northern Rift - Northrend, and the wandering at sea was at first a novelty to Etis, but it didn't take long for him to get tired of the endless blue.
Now he's studying magic in his cabin and taking care of Bigworth by the way.
"By the way, Bigworth, why don't you go back to Dalaran with Gianna? β
"Meow!"
When he was separated from Gianna, Etis wanted to temporarily entrust Pride and Bigworth to Gianna to take care of him back to Dalaran, but Pride was fine..... In the past few years, Gianna has been taking care of Etis when he has fallen into space-time stagnation, but Bigworth is different, he doesn't like Gianna at all, and Gianna is also a little afraid of Bigworth, so he can't help it...... Etis had no choice but to entrust his pride to Gianna and then take Bigworth north with him.
"Hey..... I can't imagine if something happened to you in the north, Kel'thugad would have fought with me when he found out......"
Watching Bigworth leisurely eating the sea fish that Etis had just cooked, he was also quite amused, "It's obvious that a cat only eats cooked food like a human, and Kel'thugad really raised you ......"
"Bang! bell!"
"Wait a minute!"
There was a knock on the door of the cabin, and Etis quickly got up to open it.
"Uther?"
At the door was Uther, who looked at Etis with some seriousness.
"What's wrong? what's the matter?" Etis chuckled inwardly, with some ominous premonition.
"Yes, Etis...... The crew on the ship warned me that there would be a storm later, all ..... Be careful. β
Azeroth's current seafaring skills are not so powerful, in the eyes of Aetis is equivalent to the level of the Middle Ages, and storms at sea are more dangerous events, and shipwrecks or disorientation are common.
Etis nodded solemnly: "Okay, Uther, I'll pay attention, it's just that it's getting closer and closer to Northrend, the weather over there is very cold, do you have warm clothes?"
Uther smiled and said, "Before you set out, you roughly told you about the situation here, the closer you get to the north, the colder it gets, right....... Don't worry, I've already borrowed some supplies in the Hearth Valley before leaving, it's enough to keep warm, and the members of the Silver Hand Knights are not bad, so the environment can't affect them. β
"Well, it's good to be prepared. β
After saying goodbye to Etis, Uther left in a hurry, "It seems that this storm is not simple. β
Etis thought for a while, then took out the faintly glowing Heart of Azeroth and asked Alpha, "Alpha, how long is it before it can be used?"
[The transformation of the Heart of Azeroth is nearing completion, and it is expected that there will be ten minutes left, and after the transformation is completed, the previous ability will be stripped and turned into a "simulation essence", and whether to load it will be decided by the Supreme Guardian, and the future development direction will also be judged by the Supreme Guardian. γ
"Simulation Essence?What's the use?Directly become another class to fight as before?"
[Negation, the previous function is the residual function of the Heart of Azeroth itself, after the transformation, this ability has become invalid, and the simulation essence can only convert the existing energy into another form, such as the Supreme Guardian wants to use other origin skills, in addition to simulating energy, this skill also needs to be learned and perceived.] γ
Etis nodded and continued, "That...... Did you get the storage you mentioned last time for me?"
[The storage space will be implemented after this upgrade is completed, and the size will be 5x5 at first, and the space will expand on its own as the strength of the Supreme Guardian increases.] γ
"Alpha, may I ask a question?"
γYesγ
"What the hell is the Heart of Azeroth......"
[You can understand it as a universal weapon that constantly matches and adjusts according to the user's strength, and it can also be understood as a learning device.] γ
Sure enough, Etis thought silently, I have long suspected that if the Heart of Azeroth didn't need to be so troublesome with a weapon alone, wouldn't it be okay for Azeroth to directly design it as a powerful weapon of destruction? You must know that the Heart of Azeroth was first used to collect Azeroth....... As a weapon, it has a lot of functions that are unnecessary and too rich.
"It's called ...... Path of the Titans?"
The Path of the Titans, generally speaking, is the path that the Titans have to take, about which Etis knows very little, according to the legend of a place somewhere in the previous life, this is a road to godhood....
"Really..... Generous, this can also be a learning device......"
......
At this time, the atmosphere in the ship's temporary command room was very tense.
"Your Excellency...... I've been running at sea for many years and I've never encountered this situation, everything that could point the way has failed......!
"And what?"
"And...... This storm is also very strange, it comes very suddenly, and no matter how we try to circumvent its scope, it will adjust its position towards us...... It's as if it can think for itself!"
Uther frowned thoughtfully: "Do you think for yourself......."
"Pass my orders! Everyone is on alert! Enter the battle mode at any time!"
Uther stood up and left the makeshift command room and walked straight onto the deck, looking at the dark clouds getting closer and closer, Uther clenched his weapon tightly, and the Holy Light told him that danger was coming!
In a short time, the dark clouds had completely enveloped the people on board, "Boom!" As the lightning came, so did the storm, the raging waters constantly lapping against the ship, and the whistling wind tore the sails on the mast.
"Full rudder, quick! full rudder!"
"Damn it, sails, are you looking for death, go!"
"All calm down, each doing its job!"
Uther silently watched the various orders given by the first mate, he was only the captain in name, and the knowledge of navigation was not so well known to him.
"Woo!
With the sound of a horn from an unknown place, fog began to rise all around, and before long a ship covered in seaweed and looking tattered appeared in the thick fog in the distance.
"Holy Light, what is that!"
The wrecked ship sailed very fast, almost in the blink of an eye to the side of the ship.
"There's something up there!"
Everyone on the deck gasped as they watched the sound, and the 'giants' who were more than two meters tall were covered in dense seaweed, their limbs were bare, and they were holding various rusty weapons in their hands.
"Whew, whew, da! da!"
The giants threw out the hooks as they approached the ship's side, and soon the two ships were joined together by the hooks.
"Woo!" There was another trumpet, and the 'giants' on the broken ship let out a terrible roar when they heard the horn.
"Quick, quick, cut their hooks!"
Someone finally reacted, just as someone was about to cut the hook lock.....
"Come back!" Uther yelled.
But it was too late...... Several javelins were shot from the opposite ship, "poof", blood splattered, and the crew member, who wanted to go up and cut the hook lock, was nailed to the ground by the sudden javelin.....
And then...... The "giants" on the opposite side jumped from their ship......
"Enemy Attack !!!"
