Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

A hundred years is not a long time for the high elves, who have long lifespans, but for humans, it is a lifetime.

“Then let’s make a deal, a hundred years! You will serve me for a hundred years after your resurrection. I happen to need the necromantic power you possess recently.” Rhodes grabbed the Queen’s hands from behind and said.

Just kidding, once you're on my pirate ship, you can forget about getting off. You'll be working for me for life! Sargeras will be dead by now, a hundred years from now.

“If there’s anything you need my help with, just let me know. I need to assist you,” Sylvanas asked, turning her head.

"Why don't you make a sound and let us hear it?" Rod said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"All I can do is howl like a banshee. If you want to hear it, I'll give you a demonstration, but this move will cause enormous damage to the soul. Ordinary humans could have their souls torn apart in an instant," Sylvanas said with a mocking expression.

All I can do is howl like a banshee, do you want to give me a try?

“Then forget it! Soon I will obtain the corpse of a very powerful being, and I need you to transform him into a Death Knight,” Rhodes said.

Whitebeard's body cannot be spared during the Marineford War.

“Yes! I have a lich under my command who used to work for the Scourge. He can help you modify death knights, but he's only good at modifying blood death knights,” Sylvanas said.

"Blood Death Knight, then let's go with the Blood Death Knight!" Rhodes said.

Blood Death Knights can be used as tanks, I didn't expect Sylvanas to actually be able to help.

“Not long ago, the Horde and the Alliance together captured Naxxramas Fortress and killed the High Lich Kel'Thuzad, so they seized a lot of Scourge stuff. You can even equip your Death Knight with a runeblade. Am I right?” Sylvanas said, barely managing to support herself.

That guy's physical abilities are incredible. He has a lot of secrets. I hope I've made the right bet this time.

"I'll be done soon! Just bear with me a little longer."

A dozen minutes later, Rod wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down in a chair.

Sylvanas then got up and put on her smaller armor again.

The strange centaur rider's shadow also disappeared.

"You really are a warrior!"

"Thank you for the compliment, ma'am."

Chapter 57 The Queen Joins the Fray: The Plan to Seize the Fruit of the Underworld

The deal between the two was successfully completed.

Sylvanas agreed to Rhodes' request, saying that if he helped her resurrect, she would serve him and continue to serve him for another hundred years after her resurrection.

“This is quite a unique experience. I’m becoming more and more interested in you, little man. Let’s try it again after I’m resurrected!” Sylvanas said, gently nudging Rhodes’ arm with her own.

As an undead creature, she felt nothing physically, but the scene she had just witnessed still severely stimulated her mind.

At this moment, Sylvanas's soul felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. She would try her luck with this kid after she had seized the skeleton's power.

“I’m also looking forward to seeing what you’ll look like after you’re resurrected, but your current purple skin and the cool feel of it are quite unique!” Rhodes said.

"You'd better be able to hold on then, don't finish in such a short time like this time, I won't be satisfied."

Okay, let's get down to business. How do I take over the power within that special undead you gave me?

Tell me the specific methods; I've already paid you.

Sylvanas regained her extremely cold and beautiful expression, then sat down opposite Rhodes and asked.

“First, you need to kill him. If you don’t kill him, you can’t take the power from his body,” Rhodes said.

"Do I need to do it now? I must do it myself."

“No, no, I don’t know if fruits can regenerate quickly in this world, and many conditions are required for fruits to regenerate,” Rhodes said.

It is said that when a Devil Fruit user dies, their power will randomly attach itself to a nearby fruit and form a new Devil Fruit. However, Rhodes cannot be sure whether this law of Devil Fruits still applies in the world of Azeroth.

However, even in the world of One Piece, such things are uncertain, since even if a Devil Fruit can be reborn, there is no definite range.

During the Marineford War, Blackbeard may have used the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to generate a powerful suction force, allowing the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to be successfully reborn into his own hands.

Two years later in the New World, Blackbeard used the same method to capture Devil Fruit users everywhere and equipped all of his captains with suitable Devil Fruit abilities.

Rhodes doesn't have that kind of thing, but perhaps he could try magic from the world of Azeroth to produce the same absorption effect.

“You just mentioned another world? Hahaha, I was right, this special undead was brought from another world by you.” Sylvanas looked at Rhodes with a knowing expression and said.

This undead is so unusual that it doesn't seem to originate from Azeroth, or even be man-made. Therefore, Sylvanas boldly speculates that it might be from another world.

“Sylvanas, do you know of any magic or item that can generate a powerful attraction that draws everything around you, or whatever you want, to it?” Rhodes asked.

"Do you warlocks' life siphon count? And what about our banshees' life drain? These should be considered abilities that attract things, right? Or perhaps the blood elves' mana drain ability?" Sylvanas asked.

The ability to absorb things is possessed by warlocks, blood elf mages, and even the Banshee Queen herself.

She can even drain a living person dry in an instant once she activates her life-absorbing ability, turning them into a dried-up corpse, stripping them of all life essence, and even absorbing their soul.

“We can give it a try! Well, there are two ways. First, we can try absorbing magic, which has a chance of yielding this fruit. Second, I’ll find someone to help us absorb the fruit; this way, we can be absolutely sure of success,” Rhodes said.

There is actually another way to obtain Devil Fruit powers. Charlotte Linlin once used a very terrifying method to eat her beloved nun whole.

She thus gained the Soul-Soul Fruit power, but given Sylvanas's physique, it would be inappropriate for her to eat Brook, and even if she could, Sylvanas probably wouldn't do it.

Therefore, the only options are to try the Blood Elf's mana drain and the Warlock's life drain, or for the Queen herself to use her life drain ability to see if she can extract the fruit after Brook's death.

However, Rhodes couldn't guarantee 100% success with any of these methods, so the safest approach was to find Blackbeard and let him handle it.

As for whether Blackbeard is willing to help, hehe! Kaido will make him very willing. If he dares to play any tricks, Kaido will kill Blackbeard immediately.

Kaido's current fighting power is absolutely overwhelming, even surpassing that of the Four Emperors. Especially after learning Warrior's Fury, Kaido's future fighting power may rise to an unimaginable level.

Is it possible for me to pursue multiple professions simultaneously?

Many warlocks are actually mages or shamans who have changed classes. They may be able to study some of the power of mages, and their physical abilities are not bad either, so they can also draw upon the power of rage.

Many skilled players in the world of Azeroth actually possess more than one class. For example, the future Queen, would you say she is weak in melee combat?

A marksman hunter, wielding a knife, cleaved a warrior in two. If the Queen wanted, she could even play the role of a death knight, since she also possesses the power of the shadow realm.

“This is my only chance, and I don’t want anything to go wrong, so Rhodes, can you do me this favor? Please ask that friend you mentioned!” Sylvanas said.

She doesn't dare gamble on anything with a chance of success; she has to guarantee 100% success.

“I understand. We’ll go to the outer realms first to capture an Abyss Lord. After that, you’ll come with me to another world, and we’ll find a way to obtain the power of the Underworld Fruit,” Rhodes said.

Her Majesty doesn't want to gamble, and neither does he, so let Blackbeard do her a favor! The Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) is too important for Sylvanas.

In the future, Rhodes could use his magical abilities to experiment with capturing some Devil Fruit users.

"You actually thought of capturing an Abyss Lord?"

"I can help with that too. I have a dreadlord under my command, and I'll bring him along to help you," Sylvanas said.

Although I've joined the tribe, following this man offers a better future than staying with the tribe.

This was Sylvanas's sixth sense telling her: a wise bird chooses its tree to perch on.

Shiva is actually very good at flirting with men, as described in great detail in the novel.

Chapter 58 Weapon Forging, Kaido's New Function Unlocked

“With your help, everything will be foolproof. But don’t trust that Dreadlord under your command too much; he’s no good,” Rhodes said meaningfully.

The Dreadlords are a race that didn't even sincerely pledge allegiance to the Burning Legion. These guys are the kind who would infiltrate your territory if you dare to recruit them.

Most dreadlords are infiltrated within the Burning Legion, but a small number are infiltrated within the Light Legion or other factions.

They are actually members of the Shadowlands Pantheon of Death, Lord Revendreth, Fang of the Shadowlands, Blood Ancestor, Commander of the Stoneborn, King of Venthyr, and Emperor Denathus.

To put it bluntly, these guys are a bunch of top-tier traitors. In the latest Warcraft storyline, Sargeras was captured by the Pantheon, and now the Dreadlords are moving around trying to make Denathrius the new commander of the Burning Legion.

Damn it, they've got their eyes on the position I've got my eye on. And Varimathras, one of Sylvanas's subordinates, is no good either.

This guy joined Sylvanas's ranks only because he wanted to cause trouble, and Balnazzar is not dead at all.

"You seem to know them very well?" Sylvanas asked.

The Dreadlords are known for their cunning and treachery, skilled in all sorts of schemes and tricks, and are excellent minions of the Burning Legion.

“The Dreadlords have a rather special status, and Varimathras, who is loyal to you, could stab you in the back at any time. Getting rid of them as soon as possible is the best choice,” Rhodes said.

The best way to deal with the Dreadlords is to kill them outright and then send them back to the Twisting Nether.

And since he was about to take Sylvanas on a journey, he didn't want to leave this time bomb behind.

“If this is your suggestion, I will consider it. We’ll find an opportunity to kill him during our trip to Outland,” Sylvanas said.

To be honest, she didn't really trust Varimathras either; he'd been causing trouble all these years. According to the latest intelligence, Varimathras killed Balnazar out of loyalty to her, and might not have even died at all.

Instead, it infiltrated the body of Dathrohan, the commander of the Scarlet Crusade, who had recently been defeated by the paladins of the Silver Hand and revealed his true form as a dreadlord.

Sylvanas specifically questioned Varimathras about this matter, and his explanation was...

The Dreadlord possesses various survival skills, and he did indeed kill Balnazzar, though Balnazzar may have had some methods he was unaware of.

Since the new leader has said so, let's find some time to take him down! This trip to the outer realms is a good opportunity.

"It's a wise choice. Just kill the Dreadlords one by one when you see them," Rhodes nodded and said.

“I don’t really trust him either, but I just don’t have any excuse to kill him. Dreadlords are very skilled in shadow magic and some necromancy-type death spells. Some of my death spells and necromantic powers were taught to me by the dreadlords,” Sylvanas said.

Of course these guys are proficient in necromancy; they come from the Shadowlands and even work with Warden Zoval.

Sylvanas first met the Jailer after Arthas's defeat and death, and she is currently unaware of the Shadowlands.

He didn't want to talk about the Shadowlands, so he changed the subject.

“By the way, Sylvanas! I remember that the blood elves are very skilled at crafting magical weapons. Could you have them forge a special spiked club for me?” Rhodes asked.

The spiked club that Kaido uses in the pirate world is actually just a big iron club with no additional abilities.

But weapons in Azeroth are different. They have various enchantments, glyphs, gem sockets, special forging, and rare materials. A good piece of equipment can further enhance Kaido's strength.

Kaido doesn't need armor at all; it's dispensable to him.

Kaido has strong defenses, and even in his Azure Dragon form, he has scales. Why not peel some of Kaido's scales off and see if we can forge them into armor? That would be pretty good!

Moreover, Kaido can grow to hundreds or even thousands of meters long in his dragon form, so getting a few meters of his dragon hide shouldn't be a problem! With his recovery speed, he should be fully recovered in no time.

At that time, Kaido's scales can be used to make armor, and Kaido's dragon hide can be used to make leather armor; the effect will definitely be amazing.

Dragon teeth, dragon horns, cough cough, even Kaido's dragon blood.
