Azeroth Shadow Trail

  Chapter 1540 173. Ha, I knew that one day the cheap dwarf will stab the big basket he can't handle

   Nagfar set sail at midnight.

   is equivalent to the fact that the pirates left Tol Barad without any delay after the painful family dinner, which was not a strange thing for him.

  After all, pirates are very strong in execution most of the time, except when they are not serious.

   Of course, there is another very important reason why the time is so tight, that is, Black is now eager to know how the dwarves are progressing in exploring the Titan City in Northrend.

   Careful people have already noticed that long before the major event of the Lich King's recovery, the participation of the dwarves in various affairs of the Eastern Continent was rapidly decreasing.

   They seem to have withdrawn from various things in the Eastern Kingdom at once, not only the Bronzebeard dwarves have been very low-key in recent months, but even the dark iron thugs who used to fight with orcs in Blackrock Mountain have been quiet a lot.

  According to the report from Chief Reid, the price of weapons and supplies purchased by the orthodox tribes from Darkforge City has dropped for four consecutive months.

   This means that the Dark Iron dwarves intend to maintain a relaxed diplomatic environment with the orcs. In addition, the continuous reduction of prices is not in the interest of Darkforge City at all, but no one has jumped out to object to this matter.

   This also confirms the speculation of many people from the side, that is, there may be some changes in the black iron royal family that are unknown to outsiders.

   The same thing happened to the Wildhammer dwarves.

   Just during the naval battle of Quel'Thalas, a Major Wildhammer and a group of Wildhammer Sky Troopers ran to help the Alliance of Humans and the Elves avenge the pirates.

   At that time, Dai Lin questioned that there was a problem with the commanding system of this air cavalry.

   But old Daelin didn't think much about it at the time, and now that I think about it, it also means that something unknown may have happened within the Wildhammer dwarves.

   At the same time, problems occurred within the three dwarf clans at the same time, which is no longer a simple coincidence.

   The dwarves must be secretly doing something that they don’t want to be known by outsiders, and it is not a dwarf clan doing it alone, but three dwarven clans that have been incompatible with each other.

   This is a little scary to think about.

After all, the grievances between the three dwarves, especially the conflicts and contradictions between Bronzebeard and Black Iron, are so famous that even the kobolds of Kalimdor know that apart from the end of the world, there is really nothing that can make the three Will the clan dwarves put aside their prejudices and unite?

   Of course there is!

   "It seems that the secret of pursuing the ancestors of the dwarves is the desire of all dwarves inscribed in their souls, but the Bronzebeard dwarves express this desire more directly.

   I really didn't expect that in just a few months, they have made concerted efforts to advance this matter to such a deep level. "

In the cabin of the Nagfar roaming under the quiet deep sea, with the soft light of the magic lamps all around, on the desk in front of the pirates, Sefir is putting together the pieces of the uncrowned recently collected pieces. Photos and information line up.

The Uncrowned has its own intelligence network in Northrend. It was originally in charge of Valeera and the dwarf assassin master Zac Yaozhi. After Valeera was transferred back to the headquarters, it became Zac Yaozhi. Refers to the "shadow kingdom".

I have to say that this veteran dwarf assassin master who served in Ravenholdt is still very good at gathering intelligence. Although the harsh environment of Storm Cliff makes it difficult for the assassins to move freely, he still finds a way to A lot of top secret information inside the Dwarven Expeditionary Force was reached.

  The smelly pirate reached out and picked up a photo. Against the blurred background, there was a pure night sky, and against the bright aurora, there was a magnificent palace separated from the main continent and shaped on the top of the world.

  The endless cold wind and blizzard enveloped the mysterious palace, making it difficult to see the outline clearly in the cold night sky, but judging from the scale on this photo, the area of ​​the palace is at least ten times the size of Stormwind City!

   And its height is even five times higher than Suramar's Nighthold.

  This is not a palace complex for mortal life at all. From the height of the gate looming in the wind and snow, you can tell that this is a city of giants.

   At the bottom of the photo is a group of dwarf expeditions wearing uniform style fur coats and carrying large bags and small bags to trek through the endless snow-capped mountains.

   Their figures are so small compared to the distant palace, like a group of ant mortals who are preparing to meet the gods on a pilgrimage.

  I have to say that this candid photo taken by the uncrowned spy who mixed into the expedition is really artistic.

   "Not only did they find it in the mountains, they even got close to it and probably found a way to sneak in."

  Black put down the photo in his hand, and picked up the letter sent by Anne Bonne. He looked at the letter, in the name of King Magni Bronzebeard, making a request for help to the human and elf allies in the Eastern Continent.

   In this letter, Magni kept his stance very low, and almost wrote the sentence "For the sake of the alliance, pull the brothers a hand".

   "They were in big trouble, and unexpected big trouble."

  The pirate picked up his pipe and said to the frowning Sefir:

   "Guess, did they encounter those crazy guardians, or did they accidentally activate something terrible? Or did they accidentally discover Yogg-Saron's cage?

   Are they terrified by the terrible darkness hidden in the land of creation? "

   "I don't see it that way."

  Sefir looked at the photos and information in front of her and said:

   "The Land of Creation is also taboo in the Dragonflight. Based on what I know about Ulduar in the Bronze Dragonflight, I don't think the dwarves will have the ability to enter Ulduar when they unite.

  I suspect that they may have found some information on the outskirts of the city that made them feel fearful, so they plan to gather an army to step into the land of creation with them and face the corrupt darkness in it.

  If something happened to them.

   It's not that I despise the fighting power of dwarves, but every one of those existences in Ulduar city has the ability to easily destroy them. "

"Right."

  Black nodded and said:

   "For exploring the land of creation, the union of the three races of dwarves is indeed insufficient, but if they are just looking for their own origins, I think they may have gotten what they wanted.

  After all, the earth spirits have migrated out of the land of creation after the civil strife. If the dwarves are lucky, they can find those earth spirits in the Storm Peaks and learn the truth of everything from their ancestors

   But this guy Brian Bronzebeard is a variable, my dear Sefir, I never doubted that old Bronzebeard had a great talent for getting things done.

   So the specific situation will be discussed after we meet with Annie.

   Her ship is waiting for us in the frozen sea? "

   "Yes, it's on the small island on the edge of the Dragonblight Waters. They brought a lot of tributes. They planned to meet the sea demigods worshipped by the walruses there, and they had something to do with that guy."

  Sefir said:

   "The capture of the dwarven cargo ship this time was purely an accident."

   "Very good, then speed up!"

  Black waved his finger and said:

   "Let the nerubian army of Xal'atas be prepared as well. It is difficult for the swarm to exert its combat effectiveness in the cold place, but we must at least explore the way for our guardian friends in advance."

Nearly nine hours later, the Nagfar, which had crossed the endless sea at high speed, floated up on the edge of the frozen sea. It was already early in the morning, but the ghost weather in the frozen sea still made it seem like dawn. Like the night before.

  Black stepped out of the cabin and looked to the north. He could see the outline of the Dragonblight and the dangerous ice floes around him. In the fog ahead was a towering cliff island where the Queen Anne was docked.

   It's been less than ten days since the Battle of Quel'Thalas, and the ship has not been properly restored, and you can still see the many scars left by the war on the ship.

   However, although the North Sea pirates suffered great losses in the previous naval battles, they also got rich rewards. Not to mention, the ghost ship from Ms. Hela's "generous gift" was divided up by the North Sea pirates.

  Except for the three large ships and four small ships distributed to the Black Spirit Pirates, the remaining ghost ships were almost all wrapped up by the North Sea pirates.

   These are ghost ships in terrible condition, but with proper maintenance and soul sacrifices, sooner or later, these ships can become the new legend of the Endless Sea.

  Speaking of which, Anne actually always wanted to transform her Queen Anne into a powerful ghost ship, but unfortunately she never found a suitable opportunity.

   "Captain, the dwarf merchant ship paid a third of the cargo as ransom, and I let them go, but that strange dwarf was detained by me."

As Black boarded the Queen Anne, the gallant and charming North Sea pirate king stepped forward to greet him wearing a black cloak. There were also many dwarven goods stacked on her deck, which looked like loot. .

  Annie told Black Report:

   "That eccentric guy was being held in my captain's room. He made himself a sly disguise and didn't seem to want to be recognized, but he didn't escape my eyes."

   "These goods. Are they tobacco?"

  Blake moved his nose. He smelled the smell he liked from the wooden boxes stacked on the deck. Anne laughed and took out a packet of good Northland tobacco from her pocket and handed it to Blake, saying:

   "It is indeed tobacco, but I don't know where these dwarves got it from.

  I have never seen tobacco of such good quality before. Its taste is dotted with a chilly air, making every bite feel like chewing mint, refreshing the brain. "

"yes?"

  The pirate immediately took out his jade pipe, put some tobacco in it and lit it, and when the first puff of smoke rose, Blake blinked.

He says:

   "Storm Crag, Frost Citadel. This is a special shrub that only grows in the Snowflow Plains, and making such tobacco is the specialty of the frost dwarves.

   It seems that our dwarf brothers are very good at making friends. We have been on the line with the frost dwarves of Frost Castle within a few months. "

   "Frost dwarves?"

  Anne Bonn winked and said:

   "Is there such a strange branch of dwarves in this world? I've lived in Northrend for decades, how come I've never heard of this faction?"

   "Because they have never left their homeland since the day they were born, they have only been active in the Storm Peaks, watching over their place of origin for many years.

   Well, almost a hundred thousand years? "

  The pirate pouted and said:

   "There are many secrets in this land of frost, most of which are not supposed to be known by mortals. Don't ask any more questions. These things have nothing to do with the North Sea pirates. Just keep doing your things."

"Um."

  Annie nodded, and she didn't ask any further questions.

  Blake walked into Annie's captain's room with a pipe in his mouth. When he opened the door, he saw a large-caliber dwarf musket with its dark muzzle aimed at his head.

  The pirate blinked, raised his hands, and let out another puff of smoke, looking at the guy in disguise in front of him.

   He grinned wickedly and said to the guy whose hands were shaking in front of him:

   "Yo, isn't this the honorary president of our Explorers' Association, the lucky dwarf Brian who has traversed the world for hundreds of years and has encountered countless troubles but still survives?

  You plan to entertain me with a gun when you see an old friend? Luckily, I rushed over when I heard you were in danger. Well, put down this gun that won't scare anyone.

  Let's chat, I heard you were having trouble in Storm Peaks? "

   Seeing Blake speak so easily, old Brian Bronzebeard, who was robbed by a group of stinky pirates and imprisoned on the ship, stomped his teeth and stomped his feet.

   He angrily put down the double-barreled shotgun in his hand, and kicked his pet monkey with an exploration cap, Grieb, who was screaming.

   "You bastards! You wereted my precious time asking for help, and the world is going to be in a corner because of your stinking pirates!

asshole!

   Time is running out. "

"Um?"

   Hearing Brian's dejected words, the pirate also blinked. The description of the old dwarf made a bad guess in his heart. He took off his pipe, stared at Brian, and said seriously:

   "Don't tell me, you went to Ulduar's observatory. Don't tell me, you activated Azeroth's constellation communication system by an 'accident'!

asshole!

   There's a reason the Guardians shut that thing down before they go crazy! Did you open it? "

"Um?"

  Brian raised his head in surprise, looked at the smelly pirate, and said:

   "How do you know that Ulduar has an observatory, and you can name that complex system so accurately, are you a prophet so powerful?

   Then you must know the name Algaron?

   After I pressed that button, that horrible voice told me that Algalon would arrive in Azeroth in seven days to assess how the world was going."

  “Shu”

  The stinky pirate grabbed Black's collar and lifted the old dwarf into the air. He widened his eyes and scolded:

   "What day is it now? How long until the arrival of the Pantheon watchers?"

   "Day 4!"

  Brian struggled in the air, yelling like a cranky monkey:

   "The Earthling Elder of Sanctuary warns us that the annihilation is imminent, and we must build an army to prevent the Observer from initiating the annihilation protocol before he enters the world.

   Immediately after we were warned, we sent someone to contact everyone we could. I was going to return to the Eastern Continent, but time was delayed by you! "

  “Shu”

  Brian was thrown to the ground by the pirates, Blake rubbed his forehead, glared at the cheap old dwarf, and said:

   "It's okay, there's still some time. I said are you having trouble using your brain? You still choose to take a boat for such an important matter? It's over when you go back to this world."

   "Do you think I want to?"

  Bryan complained:

   "Who doesn't know that teleportation is faster? But the blue dragons have blocked the magic net in Northrend, and I can't help it! We can't even send the message."

   "Wait! You said the blue dragons also participated?"

  The pirate said in surprise:

   "They actively participated?"

   "Not just blue dragons."

The    dwarf stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said in an excited tone:

   "All the dragons are here! I have seen the Red Dragon Queen and the Green Dragon Queen with my own eyes, they are as beautiful and majestic as they say, but Lord Malygos is not so easy to deal with.

   It destroyed our forward base in the Snowflow Plains, forced us back to Frostfort, and rudely asked us to stay away from the Land of Creation. "

   "You have caused such a big thing, and the weavers have not sprayed you to death, you have already given a lot of face.

   But the Dragon Legion reacted so quickly this time, beyond my expectations. It seems that they also realized that the problem is serious. This is just right. I will save time to persuade them to join this great operation together. "

  Black glanced at the old dwarf and complained:

   "Bring your stuff and come with me, you don't have to find anyone else, they can't solve this! This is not something mortals should be involved in, but luckily

   You and me.

   But before I go, I have to beat you up!

  Don't run! "
