Chapter 1283 Can the Great Master do it? (Hungry, tired, hot, sleepy, catworm)

The reason why the young Ether Dragon attacked Deathwing was not because it was interested in the continent of Azeroth or the battle between good and evil, but for a simpler reason.

  As mentioned before, the Ether Dragon grows by consuming stellar energy, and when Deathwing reappeared, he happened to appear in the eyes of the Ether Dragon larva. For the Ether Dragon larva, this thing with fire and light all over its body seems to be very similar to the food it eats!

I wonder if it tastes good?

Following its instinct of taking a bite out of curiosity, the young Ether Dragon bit Deathwing.

Then there is no more.

This is a complete dimensionality reduction attack. Deathwing is, after all, just a giant dragon that lords it over on the planet. How can he be compared with the Ether Dragon that travels freely in the universe?

Thus, a crisis that could have brought great disaster to Azeroth was averted—well, or it still brought disaster. At least Kalimdor was severely damaged by Deathwing, and most of the night elves' territory was flooded, and then burned by fire, leaving no good places.

As for the Horde, it suffered even greater losses. The Barrens was shaken beyond recognition, Orgrimmar was also ablaze, and the Tauren's Thunder Bluff was also trembling in the shadow of Deathwing.

  But this has nothing to do with the Eastern Kingdoms, right?

When Duanmu Huai returned, he didn't even take the news seriously when he heard it from the girls. In his opinion, it was just a black dragon, so he could eat it if it was not tasty, and then forget about it. But he shouldn't throw food leftovers everywhere... Of course, there was no trash can that the ether dragon could use.

With the destruction of Outland and the complete destruction of the Dark Portal, the troubles encountered by the continent of Azeroth came to an end. Duanmu Huai also told Varian and others on his way back that the mission of the Inquisition basically ended here, and you should solve the minor troubles by yourselves, and don't call me unless there is a crisis at the level of human destruction.

Varian had some expectations that the Inquisition would not stay in Azeroth for a long time. Although he was somewhat disappointed, he could understand it.

In fact, as local natives, they did not intend to rely on the Inquisition for their livelihood. Varian and Mekkatorque had already agreed that after returning, both parties would work together with the dwarves to fully develop mechanical engineering technology.

The biggest shock to them from the technology of the Inquisition was not Duanmu Huai's own strength, but the huge warships and cannons of the Inquisition. After learning that it only required human hands to operate, Varian immediately became active.

It is not easy for humans to gain a foothold in Azeroth. They have been working hard to study magic, but it turns out that this alone is not enough. Because in terms of magic, both the high elves and the dragons are much stronger than humans. Even if there are a few geniuses occasionally, humans are not as easy to operate as machines.

Not to mention that mages love to commit suicide, and once they lose control, the impact will be difficult to estimate.

What are you looking at? I'm talking about you, Medivh!

In the past, humans did not develop mechanical engineering technology because they could not imagine what it would become. On the contrary, magic is more intuitive, at least everyone can see how powerful a mage's instant pyroblast is.

But now, the emergence of the Inquisition has allowed them to witness the future of mechanical engineering, a power that is no less powerful than magic and is even easier to control!

Although everyone knows that it takes a lot of time to reach the level of the Inquisition, at least this is not an illusory dream, but an existing reality. Therefore, as long as they work hard in this direction, one day they will be able to reach the height of the Inquisition!

Varian has decided to take out some mechas for research and imitation after returning. During the evacuation of the expeditionary forces in the outer domain, these "logging" mechas did show strong combat effectiveness. Not only that, Varian also found that these mechas did perform well in the field of people's livelihood, just as Duanmu Huai said.

The people of Stormwind Kingdom have money, the gnomes have technology, and the dwarves are also highly accomplished in metal smelting. If the three parties unite and work together in this direction, they will definitely achieve results.

Now Varian has figured it out. Following the high elves and dragons to learn magic means he is just a copycat. And the fate of mankind cannot always rely on one or two genius wizards who may go crazy and rebel.

  Only machinery and steel can allow humans to overtake others and become the true rulers of Azeroth!

Can the Archmage do it?

Duanmu Huai naturally expressed his support for this. In the final analysis, humans still have to rely on themselves. Now it seems that Varian is not as cowardly as he originally thought.

In fact, Thrall didn't know that Duanmu Huai had never thought of annihilating the tribe from the beginning. He planned to leave the tribe as a sharpening stone for mankind. After all, the conflict between the two sides was limited to one planet, and the danger was controllable. Unlike the Galactic Empire, which was full of interstellar civilizations, it would be very troublesome if it was not killed...

Besides, there is still a tribunal in the end.

At present, many people have come to the Inquisition base in Tirisfal Glades to train and become the protectors of mankind. Most of them are humans, and some are Draenei. As for the matters here, Duanmu Huai handed them over to the Night Sentinels to handle. After confirming that there were no problems, he patted his butt and prepared to leave.

It was originally just an ordinary traffic accident in space, but unexpectedly it involved so many things, which also surprised Duanmu Huai.

However, just as Duanmu Huai set out again and was about to return to headquarters, an unexpected person appeared.

"Um...uncle? Do you have time now?"

"Mio?"

Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised when he saw Naruse Mio walking into his room shyly.

"What's wrong? Do you need me for something? Or is there some trouble in your world again? Is the God of Disobedience causing trouble again?"

“No, this…that…”

Faced with Duanmu Huai's question, Naruse Mio was obviously hesitant, and in the end, it was Wan Liya who pushed her from behind.

"Oh, Master Mio, you are so fussy. Aren't you here to ask the teacher for help?"

"Oh, but this little thing......"

"Okay, okay, what's going on?"

"Something happened to the wind band."

"Brazzaville?"

It has to be said that Duanmu Huai had never considered this angle. He also understood why Naruse Mio was a little hesitant when she found him. After all, Naruse Mio had followed Duanmu Huai for some time and had some understanding of the situation of the Tribunal and Duanmu Huai. In her opinion, the troubles of a mere wind band did not seem to require Duanmu Huai's attention.

"Come on, tell me, what's going on?"

After all, this was a club that he had mentored (was it mentoring?) and Duanmu Huai was free now, so he used a bit of his divine power to tease the ether dragon outside while asking curiously. Naruse Mio was still a little hesitant to explain, so it was Maria who took over and explained the whole story to Duanmu Huai.

Duanmu Huai had already left school in the second grade, and this year Kumiko and the others were promoted to the third grade. The goal of the bass section was naturally to win the gold medal in the national competition. Originally, this was nothing, but there were many problems this year.

First of all, Kousaka Reina is very strict in training the freshmen. Of course, in the first two years, Duanmu Huai was there, and the training was also strict. But the problem is that Kousaka Reina is not Duanmu Huai after all. She doesn't have his aura and can't suppress people. After a long time, the freshmen felt very tired and depressed. Fortunately, Kumiko took action in time to appease these freshmen.

However, they did not realize at the time that this would lay the groundwork for subsequent conflicts and contradictions.

"The problem is, this year there's a transfer student named Mayu Kuroe, and she also plays the tuba."

"Oh? You play it well?"

"I'm not sure about Maria, but it should be good."

"Oh, so this time it's a battle between tuba players."

Duanmu Huai immediately understood where the problem lay. He still remembered that a similar incident had occurred in the wind orchestra in his first year as a consultant. At that time, Kousaka Reina and Nakazeko Kaori were competing for the trumpet solo. Kousaka Reina was very strong, while Nakazeko Kaori was quite popular among her classmates. Many senior students supported Nakazeko Kaori at the time. Later, Duanmu Huai let the two sides compete to determine the winner, and then chose Kousaka Reina as the trumpet solo.

  So now... history is repeating itself again?

However, according to Maria, unlike the time when Kousaka Reina happened, the difference in strength between Koumae Kumiko and Kuroe Mayu was not actually that big for everyone to recognize, so a problem arose.

Taki chose to let Kuroe Mayu perform solo, but first the other members in the same class as Huangqian Kumiko disagreed.

As the saying goes, there are four great ironies in life, and one of them is carrying a gun together.

During the summer vacation of the second grade, the students in Kumiko's class were transported to another world, where they fought against angels and demons. The friendship between them was naturally very deep. Not to mention that in that world, Kumiko's duty was to be a hero, and she was responsible for leading everyone, so she had a high reputation in everyone's heart.

Therefore, in the eyes of these people, Kumiko Huangmae is now in the third grade and is also the captain, so it should be her turn to play the bass solo. When Kumiko Huangmae successfully wins the national gold medal as the captain's solo, it will be a perfect end to her high school life. Everyone is very supportive.

Of course, even if ordinary students have opinions about their teachers, they will only complain privately. But what kind of people are in Kumiko's class? They have fought against angels and demons, and have experienced many battles. Would they be afraid of a pretty boy consultant like you?

So I just went straight to him.

Taki obviously didn't expect that the students in the wind band who were always sensible and obedient would openly oppose his decision, and he was embarrassed for a while. And Kousaka Reina, a Taki fan, was not happy again, and she quarreled with others on the spot.

"So now the atmosphere is terrible?"

“It’s very bad.”

Maria spread her hands helplessly. In the eyes of others, Kousaka Reina, as a relative of Kumiko Koumae, had fought with them before, so she should have stood on the same front with them. But she turned against them and became a traitor. I know you like Taki, but you can't forget your friends for the sake of beauty.

There were a few impatient ones who even wanted to resolve the issue in a private duel with Reina Kousaka - fortunately they were stopped by Kumiko Oumae.

This is not a fight between children. If a real fight breaks out, who knows what will happen.

  With the seniors taking the lead, the juniors couldn't bear it anymore. They were about to quit the club because of Reina Kosaka's high-intensity coaching, but it was Kumiko Koumae who calmed them down. As a result, Kumiko Koumae, who was kind to them, couldn't even be selected for the solo performance? How could this be possible?

The seniors have come out to confront the advisor, so of course the juniors can't fall behind!

If this continues, let alone winning the gold medal, the orchestra might even be disbanded before the national competition finals.

"That's not okay."

After listening to Wan Liya's story, Duanmu Huai shook his head.

"If this continues, won't anyone be able to go to Antarctica this year? What the hell is going on?"

"Hey? Uncle, do you still remember this?"

  Hearing Duanmu Huai's sigh, Naruse Mio was a little surprised. She still remembered that she and others went to Antarctica for research last year. When Duanmu Huai came back, he told the band members that if they won the gold medal next year, he would take them to Antarctica. However, due to various reasons, Duanmu Huai, Mary, Naruse Mio and others left the school separately, thinking that the matter was over... Unexpectedly, Duanmu Huai still remembered it?

"Of course, a trip to Antarctica doesn't cost much. Even though I'm not going to do it anymore, I still have to keep my word."

The money for the Antarctic base comes from the account of the Tribunal of that world. Although Duanmu Huai doesn't care, there are still people who keep the accounts.

"What does Kumiko herself think?"

"She didn't want to split up over this, and she didn't want to exclude Kuroe Mayu because of this. She wasn't as persistent as Kousaka Reina was at the beginning, and she even offered to withdraw from the selection... but was persuaded by Kumiko."

"She's a good person. She'll have to endure more in the future. I remember she plans to join the Tribunal after graduation."

"Ah ha ha ha ha..."

Naruse Mio also smiled bitterly. At that time, many students in the same class decided to work in the Tribunal after graduation to protect their own world. After all, they already knew that their world was far from as peaceful as they imagined, and the salary given by the Tribunal was not low. Of course, some people also planned to go to college.

"alright."

Duanmu Huai clapped his hands and made a decision.

"I have nothing to do anyway, so it would be nice to go back and see them. After all, I'm still looking forward to taking them to Antarctica."
