Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1386 19. Wolf + human = werewolf, wolf + dwarf = ? 【2020】

After   Black and Lord Godfrey, the largest rebel force in Gilneas, negotiated the plan of "joint action", he planned to leave Gilneas and return to Tol Barad.

  Allies, inner responders, and cannon fodder are all in place, and it's time for a hearty "Raising the Sword".

   But before leaving, the smelly pirate keenly discovered something very wrong.

   It was supposed to be a camp set up by the nobles of Gilneas, but unexpectedly many gnomes were active. Blake could also see some odd little guys screaming and screaming in the forest next to them.

   is like a group practice voice in the early morning in the dormitory of the university art students.

  Although the race of gnomes has always been neurotic, no matter what they do, it is not surprising, but Black has never seen a large number of gnomes who are neurotic at the same time.

   is like a mass hysteria.

   "Excuse my curiosity, Your Excellency, but why are there so many gnomes in your camp?"

  Black found Godfrey who was going to contact the Grey Wolf Brigade, and he asked in a strange tone:

   "Are these guys specially recruited by you to prepare ordnance for you? How did you recruit so many dwarfs at one time? These neurotic little guys rarely leave their mechanical city on their own initiative."

   "Well, they weren't recruited by me."

   Hearing Black's question, Lord Godfrey's expression was a little weird,

   The indifferent Gilnean noble looked at the noisy little men walking about in his camp with a look of disgust, and he whispered:

   "They came to Gilneas on their own initiative, and they came before Jean went completely crazy. If they hadn't provided some weapons and armament maintenance services for our army, I would have driven them out.

   Your Excellency the Messenger, please don't get too close to these lunatic gnomes, their motives for coming to Gilneas are impure! It can even be said to be contemptible.

   When we are back in power, I will exile them all from our country! "

"Um?"

   Hearing what Lord Godfrey said, the pirates became more and more interested.

   With his knowledge of the style of the nobles of Gilneas, most of these guys are human supremacists who hate aliens very much, but they stubbornly retain some of what they consider "aristocratic style".

  For example, nobles from prestigious families like Lord Godfrey are hypocritical, and they rarely show such direct hostility.

   In addition, the relationship between humans and gnomes is actually good, and there is absolutely no need for ordinary people to show such disgust to gnomes who are generally cute and intimidating despite being noisy.

   He asked again:

   "So, what are these gnomes doing? Stealing?"

   "No, they came to find the power of the werewolf."

Lord    said with disgust:

   "They are actively pursuing the dark forces that have made the once noble Gilneas what it is now, what a bunch of depraved guys!

  I don't know why they did this, but there is no doubt that these little men with no faith in their hearts have fallen and they will get themselves into trouble sooner or later. "

   After saying that, Lord Godfrey nodded arrogantly and indifferently to Black, got on the carriage and took his entourage to the direction of Burnwood Village.

   He had to contact all parties to prepare the army before Queen Mia returned to Gilneas, and there was not much time left for him. I have to say that although this guy is annoying in every way, his execution is very high.

   To treat such a guy as a cannon fodder always feels a bit overkill, but the smelly pirate who regards human life as a must-have is now curious about another thing.

   "The dwarf actively pursues the power of the werewolf? Why does this sound so funny?"

   Black grinned and said:

   "Humans infected with the curse will become werewolves, what will dwarfs become if infected with the curse? Are wolf gnomes?"

"impossible!"

   Black Crow Arch Druid snorted and said in Black's ear:

   "We Druids have a profound study of the werewolf curse, which stems from the animal drive shared by Goldrinn and even all beasts in the world.

   Only the races that Goldrinn pays attention to can be infected with the power of the werewolf, but the dwarf and arrogant Goldrinn can never pay attention to these naturally weak guys.

   Plus the gnomes are really smart.

  The rationality of this race will always suppress their pitiful animal nature, and even if Goldrinn is willing to give it, they will never be able to release the wildness in their hearts.

   These dwarfs are just whimsical. "

   "I know they're whimsical, but what I'm curious about is what drives them to Gilneas to seek this legendary power?

   Aren't you curious? "

  Blake tiptoed into the shadows and approached the neurotic dwarfs who were learning the howling of wolves in the forest. He whispered:

   "To drive a group of staunch atheists to run for the help of superstitious forces, it seems that something terrible may have happened within the gnomes during my time in Draenor.

   Let's find someone who looks smarter and ask. "

  The pirates were walking around in the forest, and soon found an acquaintance among these screaming gnomes,

He stepped forward and patted on the shoulder of the little dwarf who had taken a deep breath several times and was about to raise his head to learn how to croak. This action made the latter jump up in fright. Great coil pistol.

   With this reaction speed, he knew that the little dwarf in front of him was not an ordinary person.

   "Hey, my dear dwarf friend Kelsey Steelspark, what are you doing in Gilneas with a bunch of neurotic compatriots on a mission to the Gnomeregan Secret Service?"

  The pirate removed the disguise of the Orb of Deception, holding the jug in his hand, tilted his head and looked at Kelsey Steelspark, the dwarf agent commander with pink hair, who had not seen him for a long time.

   He stretched his voice and said:

   "Don't you think that just screaming and screaming can attract werewolves? Also, tell me which genius told you that gnomes can gain great power by being infected with the werewolf curse?"

   "Oops, Blake! You bastard, how dare you appear in front of a genuine official law enforcement officer!"

   The little dwarf agent Kelsey with beautiful pink hair sternly, waving the coil pistol in his hand, very rudely said to the hippie smiling Blake:

   "You're still laughing! You bastard, do you know that what you did in the North County Abbey has spread to the intelligence systems all over the Eastern Continent? Even the devastated Craftsmen Council took the time to issue a reward to you!

   I have to catch you rascal and send it to MI7 to receive a reward! You put me down, you bastard! Don't pull my collar!

   I'll pierce your knee, believe it or not! "

  The pirate reached out and lifted the little dwarf from the ground to the air, watching her claws and claws like a pink cat.

   trembled twice in the air on purpose, and in Kelsey's screams, all the weird engineering bits and pieces she had on her body were shaken to the ground and thumped.

   He bullied people so badly until the little dwarf was about to cry before putting her back on the ground.

  Black sat on the ground, watching the little dwarf who grabbed a self-exploding squirrel bomb with gnashing teeth and wanted to rush up to die with the pirates.

   He stretched out his hand and pressed Kelsey's forehead, so that the other party could only run in place, screaming and throwing punches, as if the network was disconnected and reconnected.

   "Okay, don't be angry, it's been a long time to see an old friend, just a joke."

  The smelly pirate picked up a knife-like dwarf mechanical dagger from the scraps under Kelsey’s feet and admired it. While stroking the saw-blade gear that could rotate at high speed on the blade, he asked:

   "Tell me, why did you come to Gilneas to pursue this **** werewolf power? Did something happen to Gnomeregan?"

   "No! We're fine."

  Cayhill glared at Black while arranging her messy hair, ignoring him, but after a few seconds, she sighed helplessly and sat opposite Black.

   This momentary slump of the buoyant dwarf agent was as if he had lost his brilliance.

  Under the stunned gaze of the pirates, the little dwarf took out a mechanical-style pipe and put it in his mouth. It could be seen that she was really depressed during this time, and she needed to use tobacco to relieve the pressure.

   But when this cute little guy smoked his pipe, he unexpectedly added a very "social" feeling to her.

  This is probably the legendary "contrast cuteness"?

   "Oh, there's no point in hiding it from you, anyway, you can always find out if you want to check. Although there is no evidence to prove it, I can be sure that the Uncrowned also has an undercover in the city of machinery.

   And more than one. "

  The somber gnome agent Kelsey breathed out a raspberry-flavored ring of smoke, and she whispered:

   "I don't want to be embarrassed to come here. As early as when this nonsensical 'Wolf Gnome' plan was proposed, I made a report to the Artisan Council.

   This **** plan is not feasible at all!

   But the crazy Millhouse Manastorm said that he had studied it, saying that it is possible for gnomes to be infected by the werewolf curse and gain powerful individual power.

   He also took out some **** papers and a sample of Wolverine blood he got from nowhere to convince the Council of Craftsmen to send them to Gilneas.

   I came here because I was worried about the safety of my compatriots.

   I know you must be wondering why the Council of Artisans, known for their rationality, would agree to such a plan because of the trouble we are in right now.

   Really big, Blake. "

  Kelsey raised her head and glanced at the stinky pirate, she whispered:

   "The mad stonejaws unleashed from the underground ruins by the nasty dwarves have been attacking our city, and now a fifth of Gnomeregan has fallen.

   Our fighters also had to be on the front line all the time, with heavy casualties.

  The people are very afraid of these precarious days. Under pressure, the Council of Craftsmen not only agreed to various serious plans, but also passed many unreliable plans such as wolf gnomes.

  We, who rarely faced wars before, felt a little sick and went to the doctor in the face of sudden disasters. "

   "Stonejaw monster? A prehistoric monster from the underground ruins of Uldaman?"

  Blake blinked and said in a strange tone:

   "I haven't paid attention to the news, I thought the dwarf explorers didn't open that **** underground cave, it seems they did, and you gnomes are destined for such a disaster.

   However, I didn't expect that you could defend the city during the violent attack of the Stonejaw monsters who manipulate the tunnels of the earth and are good at underground raids. Tell me honestly, is there someone secretly helping you? "

   "Uh, no!"

   Kelsey insisted on this answer.

   But when she saw Blake's "I believe you are a ghost" expression, she knew that she couldn't hide the truth in front of this man.

  The dwarf agent moved her throat with difficulty, and she whispered:

"Well, Mechagon has been secretly helping us. Coincidentally, the day when the Stonejaws attacked Gnomeregan, Prince Erazmin came to visit us with a group of mechanical gnomes. city ​​of.

  It was our powerful compatriots who urgently created a group of defense robots to help us in a panic to stop the massacre of the Stonejaw monster.

   They have been providing us with technological assistance since the 'disaster day', and by the way, helping us to relieve the pressure of the exiles.

   But I heard that Mechagon's mechanical gnomes are helping you build a very important project, so they can't tell more people to help on the front line because of the small number of people.

   We dwarfs are on our own.

   But we thank our fellow mechanical gnomes for helping at the most critical moment. "

   "I'll just say it!"

   Hearing Kelsey's explanation, Black slapped his thigh.

   He said with a sneer:

"According to the efficiency of the full production capacity of the mechanical gnomes, how could it take so long to complete the spaceship I customized! It turns out that they secretly robbed me everywhere and then gave them the precious resources and sent them to you gnomes. Resist foreign invasion.

OK!

   This is the behavior of an inner ghost!

   Eat inside and out!

   Prince Erazmin with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually played this trick for me too! Mechanical gnomes and gnomes are worthy of being 'distant cousins', even if they have been mechanized, they are still 'deep in blood'. "

  The smelly pirate pretended to draw out his menacing plundering knife, and deliberately waved it in front of Kelsey a few times. He lengthened his voice and said in a fierce tone:

   "I guess Mechagon's mechanical gnomes must love you flesh-and-blood gnomes very much, so they have the courage to disobey me and dare to deceive me. I'll go to Mechagon and teach my disobedient allies a lesson!

  If you dare to provoke pirates, you will have to pay the price! "

   "No! No, Blake! Listen to me!"

  Kelsey, seeing something bad, hurried up to grab Blake's trouser legs.

She tried her best to hold the stinky pirate, but the gnomes were too weak in terms of strength. The pink-haired gnome agent held the pirate's trouser legs like an ornament on the calf, and there was no pressure. was dragged forward by Blake.

   Kelsey Steelspark screamed:

   "Prince Erazmin is public and private, Blake! We gnomes don't use your resources for a dime! Those are all parts and various mechanical materials saved by the mechanical gnomes themselves.

   The resources you gave them are well stored in their warehouse, not a single screw has been used! "

"That's not OK!"

  Black said fiercely:

   "They are wasting my precious time!

  You don't understand how much that ship I ordered at their place meant to my fleet. It was supposed to be launched a month ago, but it's still in tow.

   Isn't the cost of time I wasted not worth the money? "

  "We pay!"

  Kelshey was in a hurry and shouted:

   "We're willing to pay you! Don't go to the trouble of the mechanical gnomes, they are loyal to you.

   Although they don't have a beating heart of flesh and blood, they have a very noble soul. They can ignore us completely, but they still help us.

   Those delays are our fault, Gnomeregan will definitely pay you.

  How much you want, how much we give!

   If you can pretend you don't know about it, we can double it! "

"Um?"

   The pirate's original murderous and painful expression instantly softened. He retracted his sword and showed a triumphant smile on his face, but he quickly returned to his indifferent expression.

   He looked back at Kelsey with a pleading face, rubbed his chin, and said:

   "Can you pay me double the damage?"

   "Uh, yes!"

  The little dwarf suddenly felt bad, but she still gritted her teeth, raised a finger and said:

   "The premise is that if the Craftsmen Council is willing to grant me this special-purpose fund. If the leader doesn't approve it, I can't help it. You have to understand me."

   "Hey, is this apology too insincere?"

  The pirates were instantly upset.

   He crouched down and said to Kelsey:

   "But it's not impossible to negotiate, you just said what I want, what do you give, right?

  Good gnomes all know that what you say is the same as the components stamped on electronic parts, you can't go back. "

   Come, come, sit.

  Tell me first what good things that cheap old dwarf Brian found out of Uldaman? Then let's sum up the amount of compensation and my time and mental damage fee.

  Hey, don't shake, my dear friend, why are you so afraid?

  I won't openly ask for an amount that you can't afford. You know me. I have always been the kindest and most loving person. "
