Warhammer: Return of the Dragon.

Gragrim's behavior was not unexpected. The change in relations with the elves was a major event that had not occurred to the dwarves for thousands of years, and a state of contradiction existed in everyone's heart.

According to past practice, such an insult to the son of Balag would have to be recorded in the Dragonbeard Clan's book of hatred, but the dwarves believe in blood-gold oaths, and if blood cannot be paid, then an equal amount of gold will be given.

This is the standard for hatred, and also their own standard. They saved the Butcher King... Although saving the Butcher sounds absurd and shameful, it is the consensus of the dwarves that Agrim cannot die.

Gragrim's resentful expression and his agitation after hearing a few mutterings while standing behind his father fully demonstrated the unreliability of the mustache.

The butcher wants to die, but that doesn't mean he wants to see his children die. However, dying on the road of honor to find his ancestors is a great encouragement to the clan... This contradictory mentality has always been the thought of the son of Barag, and Gragrim is the only son of Agrim. Judging from his modified physical condition, he probably can't ask for a second set. Letting the War Undertaker join the search for the Eternal Castle carries a huge risk.

The other butcher did not have such great worries. When Gotrek came to the guild hall with his blonde secretary, his restless eyes quickly calmed down.

Now that the white dwarf has fulfilled his long-cherished wish and left, the strongest warrior in the Mountain Kingdom is now Agrim... and the High King on the throne symbolizes the orthodoxy of the ancestors, which makes Gotrek feel awe.

"The High King."

"The High King."

Xiaoqiang and his duo nodded and greeted Thorgrin who was sitting in the main seat. As for the elves next to them...the best option was to just pretend they didn't see anything and say nothing.

"Hmm..." Thorgrin nodded slightly as a response to the greeting. His mind was not on Xiaoqiang and the other two at all. He was concentrating on looking at the battle axe hanging on Gaotrek's waist.

Judging from the specifications, the battle axe carried by Gotrek has a somewhat strange shape. It is much larger than a one-handed battle axe, but more delicate and compact than a two-handed axe.

Legend has it that when Grimnir first saw the death of countless children during the Chaos Invasion, the mountains became so angry that they transformed into a giant and marched towards the north.

According to the information collected so far, there are two weapons in the Mountain Kingdom that are clearly derived from Grimnir, namely the White Dwarf Battle Axe and the Axe of the High King. Both of them are two-handed giant axes that fit the dwarf's body shape.

The only difference is the one in Gao Trek's hand...it looks a little strange.

"Gotrek, can you tell me how you found the rune axe on your waist?"

One-eyed Gotrek showed surprise. He thought that the High King had summoned him for some important matter, such as holding the lord who had been killed accountable for his sins, or joining the expedition to wash away the shame with his life.

"Not long ago, when I was still an engineer, I organized an expedition with my compatriots to explore a lost fortress in the Chaos Wasteland. We found this rune axe at the bottom of the mountain fortress."

Gotrek drew out his battle axe. Judging from its shape, it was a weapon with some rune marks on the handle. It was definitely not the carrier of Grimnir's will as Imrik said.

But the dwarves have their own way of verification. Torek, who was urgently called, was burdened with the responsibility of awakening the ancestral gods. The Rune Master walked to Gotrek's side with a solemn look, stared at the rune battle axe and said softly.

"Can I see this rune axe?"

"of course."

Gotrek didn't think too much about it. If Torek wasn't qualified to inspect the axe, then there was no one else in the world who was qualified. Torek stroked the rune axe, and his expression changed from solemnity at first to surprise, then to worry, and finally to surprise.

He bit his lip, trying to suppress his excitement, and returned the rune axe to Gotrek, his voice coming out from between his teeth. "Stay in Altdorf for a few days... No, stay near the palace."

Don't ask why the elders say something. This is the rule of the dwarves. Even if Gotrek has many doubts, he won't ask any more questions. "Yes."

The High King originally wanted to let Gotrek leave first to discuss a feasible plan. He must have an important mission and was the one chosen by the ancestors... With this ability, he should not be a wandering mercenary, but should devote himself to the great cause of reviving the Kingdom of Mountains.

This was the High King's idea, but Thorgrim, who respected the ancestral gods, was worried about this idea. If his arrangements disrupted Grimnir's plans, wouldn't that be interfering with the will of the ancestors?

Even though he had the courage to send away the body of Caledo II on his own, he was now in hesitation.

"Wait." Imrik, who had been silent, licked his lips and looked a little excited under the dwarf's solemn gaze.

Gotrek... the most unsuccessful butcher. There are many legends about him, but they all have one thing in common: it is almost impossible for the one-eyed butcher to die.

This does not mean that Gotrek is extremely powerful. According to the intelligence collected by the Phoenix King, Gotrek, who had just finished his trip to the Southland, was turned into a wild boar running around in a cage by a spell of Khalida. He was injured many times and even experienced near-death...which also caused some minor problems in Gotrek's resume.

The invincible Gotrek made Imrik curious about how powerful this immortal dwarf was.

The Phoenix King's slightly rising desire to fight made the High King's beard blow. The dwarves also obtained detailed information about Gotrek from the elves. Although his achievements were comparable to those of the famous warriors in the mountains, he was still a little inferior to Imrik.

Now Thorgrin's idea is naturally to protect Gotrek and find out the will of Grimnir.

"Imric, this is different from what we said before."

"That's right. If you want to fight... I will be your opponent." Agrim was not willing to be outdone. He hung Dago's Axe on the ground, showing his solemnity.

The dwarves all agreed that the elves must not be allowed to interfere. If this guy somehow managed to destroy the path to Grimnir, it would be a catastrophe for the mountains.

For a moment, the dwarves were eager to try, as if they wanted to recreate the feat of Gotrek Starbreaker. Even Torek, who had always maintained some respect for Imrik, thought that the elves were meddling too much.

Imrick smiled, then reluctantly stretched out his body and sat back on the chair: "Hey guys, if what was said before is true, Gotrek is not a weakling..."

Agrim glanced at Gotrek a few times and made a firm judgment.

"He is certainly not weak, but he is not strong enough."

This clearly meant that Imrik would not be given any chance. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance that the elves would do something dirty, the dwarves were unwilling to take the risk.

Torek's actions just now have proved that the rune axe is the weapon that Grimnir left behind in the mortal world. How an engineer can accomplish such a feat after changing his job to a butcher must be arranged by the God of War. (End of this chapter)
