Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 133 Where the Storm Comes
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "So, what do you think is going on?"
Darabongba (Prince of Alterac): "Naga, murlocs? Could it be that the Naga Queen Azshara is going to cause trouble?"
Sigrit (Prince of Alterac): "What about the pirates? They can't possibly be the subordinates of the Naga Queen. I think some treasure may have appeared on the sea, and several forces are fighting for it. What do you think we should take advantage of it? Maybe we can grab a magic weapon or something."
Mo Fei thought it wasn't that easy, but it wouldn't be bad if he could take a look at the situation and get involved.
Even if you don't get anything, at least you can get some plot points.
While he was speaking, Count Dennis had been brought in.
The fleet commander had a thick beard and looked very majestic. His skin was tanned red by the sun. He was dressed in military uniform and had a sword on his waist. He did not look like the kind of man who feared the enemy or avoided fighting. However, as nobles, they usually looked like decent human beings, so it was hard to say whether they had real ability.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Lord Dennis, I heard that you and your fleet have been hiding in the port, turning a blind eye to the enemies in the South China Sea. Facing these rampant evil forces, as the commander of the navy, what do you have to say?"
Count Dennis looked at the three princes being tried in three courts, and there was a look of annoyance on his face.
"Hehe, Your Highness, it's easy for me to say it. If I were facing a single enemy, I certainly wouldn't be afraid. The Alterac Navy would definitely drive them away. But this time the situation is very serious. The atmosphere in the South China Sea is strange, and all forces are making unusual moves.
Nagas, murlocs, pirates, and even sea ghosts were seen gathering on a deserted island, seemingly collaborating in some way. This is such a strange sight, and I must be responsible for my fleet."
Darabongba (Prince of Alterac): "This is ridiculous! Pirates and Nagas have always been mortal enemies, not to mention the sea ghosts. Those undead will attack all living creatures. How can they cooperate with each other? I think you are simply afraid and have no courage."
Sieglet (Prince of Alterac): "Yes, I order you to mobilize the fleet immediately. The three of us princes will lead the fleet into battle personally."
Dennis (Navy Commander): "Excuse me, Your Highnesses, you are not the king. I have the right to refuse your orders. Besides, how much do you know about the risks at sea? I will never obey the random orders of you amateurs."
As soon as these words came out, both of them were speechless. Although the prince's status was noble, everything was valuable because it was rare, and the same was true for the prince. If there were only one or two princes in Alterac, then of course his words would be final. But now there were more than thirty princes, so naturally his words would not be so useful. After all, if he could not inherit the throne, he would be just an ordinary little lord in the future. Earl Dennis was not afraid.
Murphy sneered, stood up from his seat, walked to the side of Count Dennis, and stared into his eyes with his dark golden eyes. That look made Count Dennis shudder, as if he was facing the gaze of a prehistoric beast.
A few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat nervously.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "When I left the royal city, I had already obtained full authority granted by my father. This trip to Stormwind City to attend the Alliance meeting is very important. Any obstruction can be regarded as treason..."
As he spoke, he placed a hand on the Earl's shoulder. It was a light hand, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. The Earl subconsciously bent down and heard Prince Aidan whisper in his ear.
"Lord Denis—do you want to be stripped of your title?"
The combination of Dragon King's majesty + Bluff Master is really powerful. When Count Dennis heard that he was going to be stripped of his title, he was so scared that his face turned pale.
"I, I have absolutely no such intention!"
"Then act immediately. Tomorrow morning I want to see three warships with full crews and full weapons ready at the port. Otherwise - hehe, I promise you and your family can say goodbye."
"Yes, Your Highness, I'll do it right away."
For a noble, being deprived of his title is more painful than killing him. After a person dies, the title can be passed on to his son, but if the title is gone, it means that he has completely lost his status.
As for whether Prince Aidan really had this power, he no longer dared to think about it at this moment.
Seeing Count Dennis retreating tumbling, Sieglet and Dara Bangba were somewhat shocked. The momentum just now made even the two bystanders break into cold sweats.
Darabongba (Prince of Alterac): "Brother Aidan, I have to say that you have a very strong aura. Look how scared that guy is. This time we will follow you."
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Haha, no problem." When Murphy turned around, his expression immediately changed to a harmless and kind one.
The three of them had dinner and since it was still early, they wandered around the city.
"Hey, what is that place?" Murphy asked his two companions, pointing at a building in the distance.
To the south of the City Hall, close to the coast, there is a cliff facing the sea. On the cliff stands a magnificent palace, which looks quite majestic.
Sieglet said, "That is the Storm Temple. The residents of Nanhai Town are all sea merchants and fishermen, so they all believe in the Storm God very much. Every time before going out to sea, they will go to the temple to pray and ask for the Storm God's protection."
Murphy thought, "The protection of the God of Storms?" I think it's protection money.
After all, I am a descendant of the God of Storms, so I might as well go and take a look.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "I'm going to the temple to pray for good luck. Do you want to come with me?"
Sieglet shook his head. "No, I believe in the Eternal Dark Moon now , so it's not convenient for me to go to other temples."
Dara Bangba also said, "I'll also go and inquire about the situation in the Naga Sea. Although Earl Dennis's words are not very pleasant, if it is really as he said, that the Nagas, murlocs, pirates, and sea ghosts are gathering together to cause trouble, then there may really be trouble at sea this time. I'd better go and collect some intelligence."
The three of them then separated.
Murphy came to the gate of the Storm Temple alone and looked at the magnificent temple in front of him.
Although the people of Alterac began to believe in the God of Storms very early, the residents of the highlands have more of a traditional respect for the God of Storms and admiration for the power of storms, while the residents of the coast are much more pious, and it is more like a kind of awe. After all, encountering a storm at sea can be fatal.
Therefore, the temple here is also extremely magnificent.
The Storm Temple is also the job transfer area for Storm Servant, so you can occasionally see adventurers coming in and out.
Murphy pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw two storm priests coming towards him.
"Ah, Prince Aidan, welcome to the Temple of Storms. We have heard your story spread on the wind a long time ago. May I ask what brings you here?"
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "I will take a ship to Stormwind tomorrow, so I want to ask for the protection of the God of Storms and let me have a safe journey. I hope this is not presumptuous."
"Of course, the weather on the sea is unpredictable, and people always hope to get the protection of the God of Storms. Please come this way."
The priest took him to a prayer room. On the altar in front of him was a statue of Anolos, the god of storms. He was a majestic old man wearing a cloak made of strong winds, and his muscular lines were somewhat in the style of ancient Greece.
Murphy looked at the statue of the God of Storms in front of him. He was unfamiliar with the prayer process, so he simply did it according to reality.
Put your hands together and recite silently in your heart, (Storm God, Storm God, you and I are distant relatives. Please give me some face when I go out to sea tomorrow and don't make things difficult for me. Please don't let me encounter a storm. If there is a small tailwind, it will be fine.)
As he was muttering, suddenly, a gust of wind blew up out of nowhere. Murphy felt the blood in his body boiling, and the power of the storm flowed in his body. The gust of wind swirled around him, making a loud whistling sound.
The storm priest at the side recited a prayer excitedly.
"Ah, the great storm god Anolos has demonstrated his divine power, Prince Aidan. It seems that your prayers have been answered. This voyage will surely be smooth sailing."
[System prompt: Your prayer has been answered by the God of Storms, and you have received the 'Blessing of the Wind'. ]
Mo Fei opened the status bar and indeed, there was an extra BUFF.
Blessing of the Wind: The God of Storms guides your path. When you are sailing on the sea, the movement speed of the ship you lead is increased by 30% and is not affected by storms.
Damn, this BUFF is pretty good, especially at sea, it is quite powerful whether it is sailing or naval battle.
It seems that the blood of the Son of Storm was not given in vain. Just a casual prayer brought such great benefits.
At this time, the strong wind around Murphy gradually dissipated, but there was always a wisp of breeze surrounding him, and finally turned into a small wind element the size of a fist. It had light blue eyes, and its body was light blue and transparent. It floated in the air, as if it would dissipate at any time.
The old priest's eyes widened. "Ah, this is the wind spirit, the messenger of the God of Storms. Your Highness, please be careful about what happens next and don't say the wrong thing."
The wind spirit made a whispering sound.
"I brought the words of the God of Storms - [Aidan, Son of Storms, please quickly go to the place where the storms are coming. A difficult mission is waiting for you there. Do what you should do and follow the path of justice, and you will be rewarded.]
[System prompt: You have triggered the plot mission [Where the Storm Descends], do you accept it? Yes/No.]
Murphy was shocked, thinking what was going on, how come a simple prayer not only gave him a BUFF but also triggered a quest?
And it's a story mission?
He checked the assignment.
【Where the Storm Falls (Story Mission)
Mission content: Go to the place where the storm comes and complete your mission.
Mission Reward: 500 Plot Points, Divine Combat Skill (Storm God) x 1. 】
The reward for this mission is quite good. Not only are there plot points, but there are also divine combat skills. This is a good thing. I am the Son of the Storm, and there is a high probability that the skills given out can be learned by me.
But why is the description of this mission so vague?
The location of the mission is quite strange , and the content of the mission is even more inexplicable. Complete the mission? What on earth is this mission?
And what the hell is this place where the storm is coming?
He took out the map and looked at it, his eyes moving south , the South China Sea, the Naga Sea, the Storm Sea... Wait a minute, could the place where the storm is coming be somewhere on the Storm Sea?
Could it be related to the gathering of Nagas, Murlocs, Pirates, and Sea Ghosts?
If that's the case, then raking grass and hunting rabbits would be a good idea.
Murphy no longer hesitated and chose to accept the task directly.
