Chapter 14: The Mysterious Island
The sailboat sails in the blue sea, and from time to time seabirds fly and come and stop on the mast.
Near the ship, through the clear sea, groups of Naga soldiers could be seen swimming under the water.
The Naga prefer to stay in the water, especially on this day when the sky is clear and sunny.
From time to time, the ship's guards rotated with the underwater soldiers, and Fasqi also came to the sea on the pretext of searching for a route.
Illidan was born as a Night Elf, although he did not like to stay in the sun, but his eagerness to find treasures led him to the bow of the ship.
He saw Faschi's beautiful figure, like a beautiful mermaid, writhing and swimming with a soft body, and the big braids of long hair swaying like water snakes. The other Naga led her in arrows, and none of the sea beasts dared to approach the group. If it weren't for the speed of the boat, they might have been able to swim faster.
As the sky darkened, the sun disappeared below sea level, the moon rose, and the team did not stop, and three days later in the morning they finally reached an island.
The ship docked, and Illidan couldn't wait to get off the ship, and Fasqi was already waiting below.
The coast is full of lush coconut groves and is home to giant turtles, giant crabs, giant lobsters and other predators, but the Naga soldiers were not afraid and even captured several giant turtles as pets.
"Lord Illidan, that building is in the center of the island, the soldiers have already opened their way, we should take a break or go there immediately. Fasqi said.
"Now that I've felt the call of energy more clearly, I don't want to stop until I find the artifact. Illidan said, holding up Guldan's skull in front of him and saying to the skull, "You probably can't wait." β
The skull glows slightly red, showing a knowing appearance.
Led by the Naga scouts, a large army marched into the depths of the island. After walking through several dense forests, traces of artificial excavation appeared.
The first is a gate made of square boulders, although it is now in ruins, overgrown with weeds, and the walls are covered with moss, but judging by the shape of the building and the joints of the stones, it was built by skilled craftsmen over a long period of time, and each stone block has been polished so finely smooth that the gaps between the stones do not even fit into the hair, and despite the disrepair, it is still majestic.
Passing through this gate, the road is paved with stones, as if to lead them to a mysterious palace.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice called out to them.
"Explorers from afar, can you help me?"
Following the sound, there was a hidden tent under a large tree, and in front of the tent stood a green-skinned humanoid.
Illidan knew what race it was, it looked like Broxs from the War of the Ancients, and it was the same race as the owner of the skull in his handβan orc, an aging orc, but he didn't have time to deal with this inconsequential figure at this time.
"Ignore him, we have more important things to do. Illidan said.
The old orc sighed, shook his head, and walked back to the tent.
The Naga army continued on their way, and in the evening they came to a magnificent building.
The building was cone-shaped, also made of polished square stones, and was covered with moss because it had been abandoned for many years, and it looked like a hill from a distance.
A large number of Naga soldiers had already set up a camp around it.
"Lord Fasqi, although we found this building, no matter how much we searched, we never found the entrance. A Naga scout reported.
Fasqi frowned and exchanged glances with Illidan.
Illidan said, "Don't worry, since the head tells us about this place, it must know how to take the treasure." β
At this moment, the skull glowed red, and Illidan felt a memory enter his mind.
"All this time, the wish that I have been longing for is finally coming true, and I am back in this place again. A voice appeared in his head.
"Who are you?" Illidan asked.
"I am Gul'dan, the leader of the Shadow Council, the most powerful warlock of all time, and the master of the skull in your hands. β
"Now that your skull belongs to me, and your power belongs to me, tell me how to obtain this artifact. β
"Actually, the two of us are one, you used my power to destroy the enemy, and I used your body to be reborn. β
"What! no, you're just a dead ghost, so what's the right to negotiate with me. β
"Don't you believe me, don't you feel like your habits have changed, and you remember the scene of Draenor?"
"No, I won't let you occupy me, I'm independent and won't share the same body with others. β
"Illidan-sama, what's wrong with you?" a voice pulled Illidan's attention back.
"It's okay, I just have a bit of a headache. Don't worry, ma'am. β
"Are you too tired from the long journey, do you want to take a break?" asked Fasqi with concern.
"No! I'm fine. β
"I know that finding an artifact can be a lot of work, and there may be unknown dangers inside. In this case, let's make a deployment first, just in case, my lord, you just need to adjust it......"
"I've told you! I'm fine, I don't need to adjust!" Illidan yelled at Fasqi suddenly.
Fasqi looked at him stunned, not daring to speak again.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I couldn't control my emotions. His tone softened suddenly.
"It's all right, my lord, everything is as you command. β
"I already know how to get in. β
On the shore, a crab nervously dodged a behemoth that pounced on the sand, and two huge figures stopped on the beach.
It was two sailing ships, and one team came out of the boat.
"Mistress, it seems that we are following the right route, this is the ship that Illidan used to escape. β
"Very well, Nassa, we were fortunate to have captured both ships, and if Illidan had been destroyed by Naga, it would probably have escaped forever. β
"This island has never appeared on our map, as if it had risen from the bottom of the ocean in recent decades. β
"Illidan must have had a shady conspiracy to come to this island. β
"Mistress, I have a question, I don't know whether to say it. β
"What's the problem?"
"I think that although Illidan is a fugitive, his crime happened 10,000 years ago, he was imprisoned for so long, and he also received the punishment he deserved, although he joined the evil forces after escaping, he did not do anything to hurt his compatriots. Now that we are out of our sphere of influence, and there are all kinds of unknown dangers to capture him, is it worth risking the power of the Watchers in order to capture an innocent person? β
Hearing this, Mavi's purple face turned pink with anger, and her eyes seemed to breathe fire, and she shouted, "It is a shame for the Warden Organization that someone escaped from prison, and this person was released by that woman in Tyrande, and if he is allowed to do so, it means that our Warden Organization has bowed to the priests." I have to get him back, no matter what it takes. β
Nasa looked at the eldest sister who had fallen into madness in a daze, and said, "I'm sorry, hostess, but I didn't think about it well, and I will never have such thoughts in the future." β
Mavi slowly calmed down and said, "Nasa, I know that you are also thinking about your sisters, you don't have to worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely ensure your safety." β
"Explorers from afar, can you do me a favor?" a voice interrupted them.
