Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1547 180. Give the world to men and they will light it, but women will not

   "Are you going to fight the Fire Lord?"

   Hearing Black's words, the Dark Iron Queen Moira immediately raised her head in surprise and said:

   "Did the bloodline curse of the Dark Iron dwarves be saved? Ah, you are indeed the lucky star of Thaurissan and the Bronzebeard family, Lord Black! My life has been full of surprises since I met you."

   "Oh, very few people would say such heart-warming words to me. It seems that my vision is really good. You are really a ruler who understands people's hearts."

  Black grinned, didn't answer yes or no, he just said:

   "Don't let those lunatics who worship the Fire Lord find clues, maybe you can arrange a 'prison break' or something. When you go back, pass Tol Barad and find my adjutant.

   Forget it, I'll let my first mate go with you.

   She just happened to be going to Black Rock Mountain to rescue her friend, and she happened to finish it on the way. "

  The pirate took out his jug and sighed:

   "I feel more and more that there is too little time and too many problems. Before the devil arrives, I don't know if these problems can be solved properly."

   "This is the worry and burden of the superiors. I couldn't understand it before, but now I can also feel that pressure."

   Moira was also moved when she heard the pirate's words. She took out a bottle of lava-like lava liquor from her luggage, offered Blake a glass, and poured another glass for herself.

   This action made the pirates exclaim:

   "Hey, you are pregnant, my dear Majesty Moira, for the sake of your child, I think you should restrain your pursuit of fine wine."

"Um?"

  The pirate's words made the Dark Iron Queen blink in surprise. She seemed to have heard some interesting joke, and she leaned forward and back with a smile while holding the wine glass.

she says:

   "That's stupid, my pirate prophet.

  Wine is the source of life for our dwarves!

   In order for my child to thrive and become a real man in the future, I must teach him to taste the power of wine before he is born.

   This is the tradition of our dwarves, we are not like your delicate human girls.

   I started drinking with my father when I was two years old. "

   After saying that, Moira drank the Molten Spirit in her hand very boldly, wiped her mouth with the attitude of a standard alcoholic, and turned the wine glass upside down, throwing a defiant look at Black.

  How can a pirate's temper be so wronged?

   He snorted, pushed the wine in his glass to Moira, picked up the bottle, raised his head and finished showing off the bottle of black iron spirits that burst like lava.

   This gesture made the Dark Iron Queen cheer too, clapping her hands in applause for Black's mighty alcoholic gesture.

   She exclaimed:

   "Just for this amount of alcohol, you are already a qualified dwarf with a human appearance!

  If you were born as a dwarf, you may have become an important minister of Ironforge. Of course, I think you will like the liveliness of Darkforge compared to the dull Ironforge.

   Just like me.

When I first arrived in that city, I was always troubled by the wildness and vulgarity of the Dark Iron dwarves, but after accepting the evil guys in the eyes of others, I found that although they were cursed by the Fire Lord, they lived better than copper. Dwarf Beard was much happier.

   especially their unconditional loyalty and obedience to kingship

   really moved me. "

   "Well, since we're talking about kingship"

  Black put the empty wine bottle on the table. He wiped his mouth and took out two bottles of Winterspring Firewine from his suitcase. He handed a bottle to Moira, and he bit off the cork and said:

   "Are you interested in becoming the head of the Council of Three Hammers? I mean, maybe before your son becomes the King of the Mountains, you can have an addiction to the Queen of the Mountains."

   "Poof"

Black's suggestion made Princess Moira, who was drinking a glass of molten spirits, immediately widen her eyes and spit out all the wine in her mouth. Fortunately, the pirates were quick to hide, or else the sip of wine would have been sprayed all over him. .

   "What? I seem to have heard it wrong just now. What do you think I can be?"

  Moira wiped her mouth embarrassedly. She looked at the stinky pirate in surprise and said in surprise:

   "What is this strange prophecy again? After guiding me to become the Dark Iron Queen, you are going to show me a future I never dared to reach?

   A female mountain king.

  Muradin's beard is on top, and in my, no, in the wildest fantasies of all female dwarves, no one dared to say such a thing in a dream. "

   "What? Are you trying to say that that position was never reserved for dwarves?"

  Black held the bottle and said to Moira with a weird smile:

"But before I guided you, you never thought that you would run the kingdom of Dark Iron instead of Thaurissan, did you? You relied on your own efforts to go from a runaway and undervalued princess to the one in charge of a kingdom. the queen.

  I think you should have bigger ideals.

  Your potential is not only to manage a dark iron kingdom, I think the snowy Khaz Modan, the beautiful and wild Eagle's Nest Mountain and Wildhammer Heights should also be ruled by a wise and skillful ruler like you.

   By then, the lands of Wildhammer, Bronzebeard, and Dark Iron will be joined together, and from the highest peaks of the northern frontier to the barren and scorching lands of the southern continent will be a happy place for all dwarves to live and work in peace.

think about it.

The complete unity of the   Three Hammers clan will instantly create a powerful country on the eastern continent that is no weaker than the human empire, and the dwarves are no better than as human vassals on the world stage destined for great changes.

  The elf empire is rising after re-bridging the contradictions, the trolls of Zandalar are ambitious to contact various troll clans, and the human kings have been honing their fists and preparing to jointly build their own empire.

   What about the dwarves?

   The dwarves are still fighting with each other, and they cannot see the changes in the world at all. It is because of my push that you can unite and find the place of origin that all dwarves long for.

   But such a brief union is just the beginning!

  As rulers, what you should think about is what happens after the alliance ends, Your Majesty Moira, are you stuck at this stage? I know it will take time for the hatred to go away.

   But war and the same fearsome enemy can speed up the process! "

  The smelly pirate said:

"In the face of the catastrophe of the demon invasion of the world, the hatred among the dwarves is nothing but an old past that must be left behind, and you know that you must unite in order not to repeat the orc wars that nearly destroyed the capital. mistakes.

  You see, I have planned everything for you.

  You just have to do it.

   Of course, to accomplish this, you need to get your husband first, then your stubborn father, and finally the Wildhammer”

   "No no no, there is a problem with this order!"

  Moira immediately shook her head with bright eyes and said:

   "Wildhammer is the best way to do it!

   Wildhammer dwarves have always been wild and uninhibited, they don't even have a king! They're not interested in any politics, and I just know how to get the Wildhammer dwarves on my side.

   Grim Batol!

  The lost city of the Wildhammer dwarves, where the curse was released by Mordgood after the Dark Iron Witch, resulting in no grass and shadows everywhere, but it can be recovered! "

   The Dark Iron Queen clenched her fists and said loudly:

   "With the power of light or fire, we can dispel the shadows there. I am a priest of the Holy Light myself, and I can use the power of the church to help me do this.

   And I know some black dragons have quietly taken root there, I should probably share this news with Prince Falstad Wildhammer.

Yes

   Even though the city fell many years ago because of the Dark Iron siege, that is a thing of the past, and now we have a common enemy with Wildhammer!

   We can unite!

   As for my father, he was a real troublemaker.

   But I think I can start with my uncles Muradin and Brian, I know they both hate war and I know they have no interest in power.

  Yes, they will be my allies in Ironforge.

   And the child in my womb will be the only descendant of the Thaurissan family, which predestines my husband to support me, and perhaps it will take a bit of skill to convince him.

   But I am not short of time. "

Under Blake's gratifying gaze, Moira drew up a plan with a high success rate for herself in a very short period of time, fully proving that of all the rulers Blake currently "supports", Princess Bronzebeard is the most successful The one with the brain and the wrist.

   He likes to work with such people.

   Not only is he wise enough to solve problems by himself, but he also has enough motivation to find problems and complete the work better. This is much better than the white prostitutes who lie down smoothly when they encounter problems.

   "You have an advantage, Moira."

   When the Dark Iron Queen's eyes were lit with the fire of power, Black felt that the heat was almost over, so he lowered his voice and said to Moira:

   "I have a unique piece of information here that I intended to share with the Kings of the Three Hammers, but I now find that I might be better off telling you about it.

   You also know that the expedition found the earth spirit in a shelter in the Snow Stream Plain, right?

  Those earth spirits are your ancestors and the purest blood source of the dwarves.

   From a legal point of view, the current dwarf clans are only the descendants of the earth spirits. In terms of the identity of the Titan creations, the earth spirits have the most orthodox kingship of your race.

  If you want to provide a sufficient legal basis for your superiors, you must obtain the recognition of the earth spirits.

   Let me tell you, the earth spirits are hiding a big secret!

Their king, the first earth spirit born in this world, is called Urel Stoneheart, who is the common ancestor of all dwarves. It was given the authority of creation by the guardians of the Titans. The scepter named 'Valanaar Hammer of Ancient Kings' created a race of earth spirits.

  So in theory, dwarves don't need to forge their own racial artifacts at all.

   Because you already have it.

   But unfortunately, when Ulduar was attacked by the dark forces, the holy relic belonging to all earth spirits and dwarves was shattered, and it was scattered in various areas throughout Ulduar.

   If you can collect those shards and reshape it in the Titan Forge”

   "I will become the king of earth spirits!"

  Moira stood up excitedly, she walked around in place, just like a beautiful imagination, she said excitedly:

"I will be grateful and recognized by all the earth spirits. With the promise of the ancestors, I will become a common hero for all dwarves. Maybe they will find it difficult to accept being ruled by a lady for a while, but as long as I can convince the three hammers to admit it I

Do not!

   I didn't need to convince them to admit me at all.

   Now that the kings of war have come forward, looking at the current situation, the dwarves will definitely choose to return to the glorious sequence of Titan creations, and no one knows the thoughts of the stubborn stone heads of my people better than me.

   They took it as an honor.

   So, I just need the approval of the Lord of War and the Guardians of the Titans! Yes, I will be crowned by the gods, and I will be the rightful queen of the mountains.

  Perhaps in my generation, my queen's title is just an empty title.

   After all, I have to spend a lot of energy to mediate the contradictions of the Three Hammers, but when my son grows up, I will leave him a real dwarven empire.

Well."

  The Black Iron Queen was so excited that she grabbed the fine wine that Blake had just handed over, and she drank the fine wine in one gulp, as if her whole body was full of strength.

   She tried her best to suppress her excitement and turned back to Blake and said:

   "You will help me, right? Prophet, what kind of reward do you need? Tell me, and I will do my best to satisfy you."

   "Being involved in this kind of thing is a reward in itself."

  Blake smiled hypocritically, waved his hand and said:

   "Doing this in itself is enough to satisfy my bad taste, after all the fact that a lot of people are bashing me for disrespecting women and it bothers me so much, so I thought, if I were to put a dwarf queen on the throne myself.

   There will probably be no such outrageous rumors that continue to circulate.

   And history has given the male dwarves plenty of time to perform, but the Battle of the Three Hammers and centuries of schism proved they weren't enough to accomplish great things.

   Maybe it's time for the eminent queens to try running the world.

   As for remuneration

  I figured that when the origin of every empire that rises in this world in the next era is about me, that simple joy of shaping destiny is enough to give me enough motivation to do it.

  So, I will call all the dwarven assassins in the Uncrowned, and I will send them to you while the battle of Ulduar is going on.

   But you have to convince them first, Your Majesty, you must know that the Uncrowned Assassins are a group of people with their own creeds, and I, as a master, cannot force them to do what they don't want to do.

   They aspire to do big things, really big things, big enough to change the world or change a civilization. "

  The pirate took a sip of wine and said in a low voice:

   "With your eloquence and outstanding ability, I believe that this job is not difficult for you. Of course, the majesty of the emperor must be reflected in the war.

  So, in the calamity of the demon invasion of the world, I hope to see.”

"I know!"

  Moira stood up straight away, promising to:

   "It is a battle of life and death as well as a glorious battle for the establishment of a nation. I promise that the dwarves under my rule will set foot on the battlefield of the apocalypse with absolute courage.

  I have to say that today’s conversation has given me a better understanding of you, Lord Black, you are not the bad guy they say they want to see the world burn.”

   "No, I want the world to burn, really."

  Black raised the bottle and made a toast, he said:

   "It's just that after the flames burn out, what I want to see is not a rubble, but the burning embers left behind after the flames burn up the ugly, to warm the seeds that I buried deep under the earth.

   It will shape a new world, a better world.

   This is the mission a prophet should shoulder, not just a weak prediction of the future. "
