86. The Last Night on the Broken Beach (Part 2)(1/2)

"Are you threatening me?"

In the side hall of the Tomb of Sargeras, under the dead night, in the surge of purple light, Aegwynn's image stopped dissipating and became solid again.

Her tone was no longer as calm as before, but instead carried a touch of undisguised cold anger.

She said to Blake:

"Young assassin, don't forget that you are now in the seal I set. I am weak, but that doesn't mean that any junior can be so rude.

You said deeply that you and I should help each other.

But the person standing next to you is one of the murderers of my son! Maybe I should activate the seal now and bury you with her."

"I don't want that either."

Blake calmed down the anger in his heart. His heartbeat was quite fast. He sorted out his words a little and said to Aegwynn in front of him in a gentler tone:

"But as you can see, if I don't get what I want tonight, I will still die. You are probably one of the few spellcasters in human history who has sufficient understanding of the Abyss of Hell.

You should know what kind of misfortune I will encounter if I fall into the hands of Hela.

I am in a quagmire now and cannot save myself. I will desperately grab any life-saving straw, madam. I will express my thoughts very frankly, that is:

If you don't help me, I will really drag you into the water.

I'm not kidding you.

I know that this is not the normal way to ask for help, but in another situation, I would be happy to humbly apologize to you, but now...

My life is almost gone, so let’s not worry so much.

Let’s get straight to the point, okay?”

"hehe."

Black's explanation attracted Aegwin's laughter that seemed to be sarcastic and playful.

She said:

"You said you are in a desperate situation? No, young assassin, as long as you hand over the soul of Gul'dan in your hand to Hela respectfully, you can survive safely.

That crazy Titan Guardian will even reward you for it.

It's you who don't want to have any contact with Hela anymore. It's you who are trying to escape from the muddy waters of Hades. Let me put it more bluntly. It's you who are longing for the freedom that you can't get.

Still willing to risk everything for this elusive desire.

It's you who pushed yourself into a desperate situation.

Do you want to escape?

It’s so simple, just like before, bow your head to Hela and kneel before the God of Death, how simple is it?”

The image of the former guardian lady shook her head, her tone became colder and colder, and her powerful aura spread out at this moment, like a superior person in control of everything.

Just like a demigod born in human civilization.

She said:

"It is precisely because I know the truth about the Abyss of Hades better than anyone else that I know that any living person who is related to Hades is solely responsible for any suffering he encounters!

Although Hela is a lunatic.

But she is also a deity in the eyes of mortals.

She has her arrogance, and she will not take the initiative to pay attention to an ant.

In other words, you have embarked on this path yourself, young assassin. Didn't your parents teach you? You have to bear the cost of the choice you make."

Blake shook his head repeatedly after saying this. He looked at the magic image in front of him and asked in a calm tone using the same sentence pattern:

"Ms. Aegwin, didn't your mentor, Magna Skeven, teach you not to judge a person's choices at will when you don't know his experience?

When I joined Hades, I didn't reject this option at all. Your knowledge of Hela should be updated. The crazy Queen of Hades has already extended her hand to the souls other than the Vrykul.

If you knew why she went crazy hundreds of thousands of years ago, you should know that this was a destined outcome, it was just a matter of time.

I have no intention of discussing the secrets of the Titan Guardians with you.

Because you are an out-and-out but extremely arrogant beginner in this area. I am not bragging. In these secret fields, I am more than enough to be your mentor.

So stop humiliating yourself, Lady Aegwynn.

Let’s get back to the point.

You help me temporarily resist the curse of Hades until I find the troll god of death Bwonsamdi. How to get that guy with a bad personality to help me is what I have to do.

You just need to ensure that your soul will not be taken away by Hela before I complete my needs.

And once I complete my needs and escape from Hela's clutches, I will bring you the Skull of Gul'dan at the right time and help you resurrect your son Medivh.

If you need it, I will even find a way to bring you more magical items, such as the Eye of Dalaran and the Book of Medivh."

The pirate paused, looked at Aegwynn's image, and said:

"Now, give me an answer."

"The price you offered really makes my heart flutter, young assassin."

Aegwin thought for a few seconds and said with regret:

"But it's a pity that since you appear to be omniscient and omnipotent, you should know that I am so weak now that I can't even activate the teleportation spell to the Broken Shore.

Not to mention helping you set up a soul barrier that is at least a legendary magic level."

"I don't need you to come in person."

Blake's eyes lit up, Aegwynn's softening of attitude was what she needed.

He said softly:

"I just need to confirm that you really have a way to help me. As for setting up this soul magic, don't you have a friend who has been hiding in Dalaran and has been secretly helping you?

Just let him come, won't it?

It’s impossible for a human mage who has lived for three thousand years not to be able to master a legendary level of magic, right?”

"you..."

Aegwynn was really shocked now.

Her image showed silence for a few seconds, and then said in an incredible tone:

"Who are you? Young assassin. Do you even know the existence of Merry Winterwind? I see you have the mark of Ravenholdt on your body, but you are definitely not an ordinary shadow assassin.

After all, the League of Assassins has not existed as long as my old friend Merry has lived..."

"Me."

Blake showed a smile, casually took out the soul stone that sealed Sephiel's soul from his arms, threw it in his hand, and said:

"This young bronze dragon lady asked the same question before she died, but I'm in a bad mood today, so I'm not going to tell you the answer.

Lady Aegwynn, don't treat me like a novice and try to trick me.

Contact your friends, I don't have much time.

I will wait for him at the Broken Shore, only for an hour. At the same time, you can also ask your friend to be a witness, so you don't have to worry about me defaulting on the bill.

As long as I finish what I should do, I can give him the Skull of Gul'dan immediately.

He will hand it over to you, and at the same time, he will do his best to help you resurrect your son. However, after your son is resurrected, this thing must be returned. It is my most proud collection."

Aegwynn nodded.

But a few seconds later, she asked again:

"I don't doubt your determination, young assassin, but have you ever considered how your life trajectory will change after today?

You should know that once you accept my help, you will be on the opposite side of the entire Dalaran and the entire human spellcasting camp.

Once the news is leaked, all battle mages in Dalaran will become your enemies.

Those old and immortal bastards will even activate the magical assassins of the Tiris Mystic Society to deal with you. Do you know what this means?"

"I know."

Blake smiled, pointed to Garona beside him, and said:

"I have gotten mixed up with this regicide, madam, and the entire MI7 is already my enemy. Granny Pasonia looks kind, but she is actually a very cold old man.

I've been targeted by a legendary assassin.

I still have the legendary war blade of the Burning Blade clan in my hand, and the legend of the orcs will not let me go.

What's more, I am planning a gorgeous and grand betrayal against Hela! The hell force in human legend, a god of death, will become my enemy.

Madam, in front of all these things I am carrying, what does a mere Dalaran or a Kirin Tor Council of Six mean?

Just like what you just said.

This is my life.

I make the choice, I bear the cost, that's it."
To be continued...
