Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 69: Tidal Blessing
"Azshara..."

The ghosts roared angrily towards the place where Azshara disappeared. They were filled with resentment for not killing the murderer.

Farondis breathed a sigh of relief. If Azshara had persisted any longer, he might not have been able to hold on.

A hand reached out for the Tidestone, and was immediately bounced away.

Farondis looked up and saw that the owner of the hand was Jack.

Jack smiled awkwardly, "Now that Azshara has been driven away, shouldn't you return my spoils to me?"

Farondis was full of helplessness, "Jack, greed will hurt you."

Jack looked around and pretended not to have heard the words.

Greed is the driving force behind human progress.

"You cannot control the Tidestone." Farondis refused to return the Tidestone. "Azshara is always thinking about it. When she recovers her strength, she will definitely make a comeback. If you take it, then what awaits you will be Azshara's endless pursuit."

Jack thought about it and felt that it was not worth it to be hunted down by Azshara for an unusable Tidestone. However, thinking of the powerful power of the Tidestone, Jack was unwilling to give up.

Farondis saw his unwillingness and said, "Of course, if you can help me find the Tidestone, I won't let you return empty-handed."

As he spoke, Farondis chanted a spell, and the Tidestone rose into the air, generating a powerful force that poured into Jack's body.

Jack immediately felt extremely comfortable in his limbs, as if he was soaking in a warm bathtub, and every pore was enjoying the massage. The old wounds on his body healed quickly, and only the stubborn sequelae of dragon breath had not been completely eliminated. The fusion of the red dragon's blood was also accelerating, gradually penetrating Jack's whole body, all the way to his bone marrow.

"What's this……"

Farondis: "The Tidestone is an item of the Titan Golganneth, and it contains the tidal power of Golganneth. This powerful force can control the water element. I have blessed you with the Tidestone, and from now on your affinity with the water element will be greatly improved. If you make a living by sailing and exploring in the future, it will benefit you for the rest of your life."

Jack grinned. According to this explanation, it would be much more useful than having an unusable Tidestone.

"Will the time I spend learning water elemental magic be greatly reduced in the future?"

Farondis opened his mouth and said, "Jack, learning magic is not an easy thing. In addition to magic and marriage, you also need some other conditions. Such as talent, qualified teachers, and time to study magic."

Jack was dissatisfied, "What's the use of it?"

"Of course it is useful. Affinity with water elements not only makes you more likely to be favored by water elements, but also reduces the hostility of marine life towards you. As long as they are not intelligent creatures, other marine life will be very close to you."

cut!
Jack couldn't help but roll his eyes. What's the use of this?
Farondis was speechless. The Blessing of Tides was a good thing that countless people dreamed of, but Jack actually treated it like a piece of trash. It was a complete waste of resources.

"Okay, Jack." Farondis didn't want to dwell on this topic any more. "This time we were able to defeat Azshara thanks to your help. If you have anything you want, I will try my best to satisfy you."

"You should have said so earlier!" Jack was happy. He felt that he had lost out by exchanging the Tidestone for the useless Tideblessing. Now that he heard that Farondis was going to give him something else, he felt better.

Farondis was silent. He knew that Jack wanted to blackmail him. However, getting the Tidestone back was the biggest gain. If the other magic items were not given to Jack, they would just be thrown in the warehouse and slowly rot.

Although exposed to the curse, it did not bring back the ghosts of Nar'thalas. Ghosts cannot use too many magic items, so Farondis casually gave Quel'nath to Jack. Jack followed Farondis into the warehouse and kept putting the things inside into magic packages. Especially those magic materials, although they have been decayed for 10,000 years, they are still much more powerful than ordinary magic materials.

While busy, Jack accidentally dropped the lucky rabbit's foot. Just as he picked it up, Farondis came over.

"This is--??"

Jack said casually, "This was given to me by my father before he died. He said it would bring me good luck."

"Can you show it to me?" Farondis made a very presumptuous request.

Jack thought about it and handed over the lucky rabbit's foot.

Farondis studied it and returned it to Jack.

“It really does bring you good luck.”

Jack laughed, "Really?"

Although he had guessed the answer long ago, he was still very happy to hear the great wizard Farondis say this.

Farondis said with a serious face: "Although it can bring you good luck at critical moments, when you are not in danger, it will take away your good luck and make you unlucky."

"What?" Jack's face suddenly turned ugly.

No wonder he always had bad luck. He was a beggar in Stormwind City, and was drafted by Baron Dex within a few days. When he was about to find an ascending passage after escaping to the mines, he was chosen by a small noble near Southshore to be a scapegoat. He and Fizmos were about to escape to Stromgarde, and the guards of Stromgarde were only a few dozen yards away from saving him, but he was knocked unconscious by a lightning bolt from a Naga witch. He finally got a ship, but it was almost sunk to the bottom of the sea by the Blackwater Pirates. He finally got rid of the Blackwater Pirates, but the pirates below rebelled again...

Jack thought it was normal in the world of Azeroth to encounter black dragons even on the calm coast, but he didn't expect it was caused by the lucky rabbit's foot.

There is really a word "MMP", but I don't know whether I should say it or not.

But think about it, this is the only relic left by "father" to me. Although it is a bit of a scam at ordinary times, it can always work at critical moments. "Father" is just an ordinary person after all. It is estimated that he has a life savings to get such a defective magic item.

Jack hung the lucky rabbit's foot back on his waist and took down the magic compass. "Help me take a look at this. It worked well when we were in the Eastern Continent, but it keeps spinning around when we leave the Eastern Continent."

Farondis examined it and said, "It's just like the lucky rabbit's foot. It has a soul attached to it."

"What do you mean?" Jack asked hurriedly, "You didn't mention anything about possessed souls just now."

Farondis: "It's not a big deal. Although these two items are attached with souls, the energy of the souls is weak and they won't reveal their bodies like ours. They play the role of enchantment, which is equivalent to magic materials. You don't have to worry about them."

Jack's face looked a little unnatural. Despite what Farondis said, he still had the illusion that he was being watched all the time.

When he peed, weren't there two souls staring at him blankly???
Thinking of this, Jack couldn't help but shudder.
