Azeroth Shadow Trail

  Chapter 230 49. No good, thief!

   "Miss Jinjian? She is not in the Valley of the Kings now."

  Nathanos received a disappointing answer from the High Elf Expedition Quartermaster.

   The quartermaster who was counting the number of arrows in the warehouse was very busy, so he did not explain the location of the golden sword to the Ranger in detail, but told him in a general way:

   "Ms. Jinjian has now taken part in the expulsion of the orcs as a vanguard. She should be active in the Burning Plains area. The last time she returned to the supply point was seven days ago."

   "Then is there a way to contact her?"

  Maris was entrusted by others, and naturally asked with all his heart.

   As a result, the quartermaster looked suspiciously, and Nathanos immediately took out his Farstrider badge, representing that although he was a human, he was the "own man" of the high elves.

   After confirming that the badge was correct, the quartermaster explained again:

   "Ms. Jinjian is a rare and powerful warrior among the clansmen who has dabbled in the way of anger. She was drawn by Lady Alleria into her own team.

   Therefore, their whereabouts are secret, and there is no magic stone in the camp to contact them.

  If you're really in a hurry, you can go look for them, you're also a member of the Farstriders, and you should be able to find the road markings they left.

   And Miss Jinjian is very recognizable. "

   Having said that, the busy quartermaster also put down the record book in his hand, looked left and right, the slender eyebrows were raised, and he said gossip:

   "She is a half-elf. Although she was born in a magical family, her other half bloodline gave her a stronger physique than the clansmen, and her ears were a little more delicate than those of the clansmen.

  Many people are speculating who is the biological father of Miss Jin Jian.

   There are rumors that it is very likely to be a legendary human warrior. Some people say that Miss Jinjian is actually the illegitimate daughter of Marshal Lothar, and this time she came to the battlefield is gilded, but I don't believe this statement.

  I helped Miss Jinjian repair her armor.

The scars on the    are shocking. You can see how violent her posture is when fighting. Speaking of which, you are also a human being. "

   The quartermaster blinked and said to Maris:

   "Are you looking for her for her biological father? Come, tell me quietly who the big man is? I will keep it a secret, no one in the whole camp knows, I have the strictest mouth."

"yes?"

   Seeing the quartermaster's gossip in front of him, Nathanos deeply doubted his ability to keep secrets.

   stopped for a few words, walked out of the quartermaster tent, and found Blake, who was leaning against a tree trunk outside the camp, listening to a group of wounded elves playing the three-stringed lyre and singing songs not far away.

   He told the pirates what he had heard, and the latter was not surprised.

   "My old man's blood is really good, and he is very partial. He gave the part of his blood that belongs to the sea to my sister, and the part that belongs to the warrior to my sister."

  Blake spit out while enjoying the melodious singing of the high elves:

   "He gave the best to his two girls, he gave me a mess, and my younger brother will probably be a poor guy in the future.

  The boy's family status is miserable, right? "

   "But you are almost becoming a master assassin now, which shows that your bloodline is also very good."

   Nathanos folded his arms and said:

   "Your father also blessed you."

   "Nonsense, this is what I earned by myself."

  The pirate glared at his companion, he took a grass stem from his hand, put it in his mouth, sucked the sweetness of the grass root, and said to Maris:

   "The blessing of this shadow has nothing to do with Dai Lin."

   "I knew that you have family problems. Children who are not cared for will become monsters when they grow up. This is a common saying among elves."

   Ranger laughed, patted Blake on the shoulder, and asked:

   "So where to go next? Go straight to the Burning Steppes to find the Golden Sword? Or to complete your Assassin Master Trial?"

   "Go to the dwarf's side."

  The pirate thought about it and said:

   "I'm going to find a blacksmith to make something, by the way, when Shaw comes back, that guy must have something to tell us. As for the golden sword, it's not in a hurry.

  She will always be on the battlefield anyway, and there will always be a chance to meet. "

   They left the elf camp and went to the frontmost dwarf camp.

   Compared to humans and elves, it is too noisy. Those dwarves with the same muscles and sticks have built several large forging furnaces and created several workshops here.

   made the fire scorched and black smoke billowing.

  The dwarves were wearing blacksmith vests, exposing their steel-like muscles, and wielding forging hammers to make weapons and protective gear for the decisive battle.

Next to    there is a place where cannons are cast, where a group of noisy gnomes are busy.

  The most exaggerated thing is that there are seven or eight dwarf steam tanks waiting for repairs parked next to the camp.

   These big guys are far less exaggerated and domineering than the tanks in Black's memory. After all, they are the engineering products of the fantasy world, and they don't look very reliable.

   There is no gun barrel, just a huge car body, and there is no track below.

   uses two rows of wheels driven by a drive shaft and a lever.

   The dwarves are also very artistic. They shape the head of a beast in front of the car body and create a deterrent force for their own steam tanks. Generally, they are the heads of griffins or rams.

  Although there is no gun barrel, these tanks are equipped with steam-powered burst machine guns designed by gnomes, revealing a strange and delicate sense of magic technology.

  The caliber of that thing is very powerful, and it is estimated that a shot can break the torso of an orc.

  Unfortunately, Black didn't have many acquaintances on the side of the dwarfs, and he had almost no way to set things up, so he found the side of the dwarfs, reported the name of Kelsey Steelspark, and was received by the busy dwarf engineer.

   "Steel Spark and their secret agents are the most daring and brave group of us dwarfs."

   A dwarf engineer wearing red goggles and waving a wrench said in a sharp voice:

   "They're all over the Burning Steppes now, flying gyrocopters to bomb orc armies, war heroes, and their friends are friends of all gnomes.

  Tell me, tall human friends, what help do you need? "

   "I want to make an Assassin equipment."

  Blake took out the blueprint he had drawn from his arms, spread it out in front of the dwarf, and introduced him:

   "That's it, then this, and finally this, can you do it?"

   "This drawing is so bad."

   The dwarf engineer with goggles spit out a ruthless remark. He stood on the chair, looked at the blueprint in front of him, grabbed his beard and thought for a few minutes, and said to the pirate:

   "It can be done, no problem. Its structure is very simple, just a very ordinary spring energy storage mechanism. Not only can I do it, but I can also improve it. But you have to come up with the materials."

   "No problem, I brought the materials here."

  The pirate took out a small bag from the magic bag, looked left and right, and handed it to the gnome engineer, who took it and glanced at it.

   was very curious and took out a black, curved claw.

   He said suspiciously:

   "What material is this? I've never seen it before, are you sure you want to use bone instead of steel?"

   "This is a keel."

   Pirate grinned and said:

   "It's much more durable than regular steel, and if you can make it by tomorrow morning, I can pay you twice as much. Oh, by the way, make me a hook lock by the way.

   Do it with this dragon tendon. "

"cool!"

  The dwarf engineer gave a loud whistle and said:

   "Dragon, the legendary creature, it's really worth the trip to help."

After   , he tapped the dragon claw in his pocket, the keel again, raised his head and said to Black:

   "I don't want to pay, I can make it for you for free, make it by tomorrow morning, and make four for you, but the rest of the scraps are mine. I'll take it back to the Gnomeregan collection."

   "Four, yes."

The    pirate glanced at the dwarf engineer and said:

   "But you can't cut corners, my smart friends, there are assassins among you gnomes, you know how powerful they are, I don't think you would be willing to offend a master assassin."

   "Cutting corners? Hey, friend, you're humiliating a master craftsman!"

  The dwarf puffed up his chest in dissatisfaction, blew his beard and stared:

   "You can go to Gnomeregan to inquire, I have a very good reputation in Overspark, and I will run for the Council of Craftsmen next year.

   I won't do such a thing to destroy my reputation! "

   "Huh, are you Overspark?"

  Blake exclaimed in surprise, and immediately apologized and said:

   "Sorry, I didn't recognize you. I heard Kelsey say that you are a very powerful master craftsman, but you gnomes all look the same after wearing goggles."

   "It doesn't matter, you humans are actually the same in the eyes of us dwarfs."

   The white-haired dwarf craftsman in front of him waved his hand very much, mentioned the materials given by Black, and was about to turn around to go to work, but was stopped by the pirates.

   He looked at the dwarf in front of him and asked softly:

   "I heard that you have been looking for the legend of the mechanical gnome?"

"Um?"

   Overspark, who had walked away, turned his head sharply, the white-bearded dwarf snapped open his red goggles, and stared at Black with a pair of ghostly eyes.

He says:

   "I've been researching this matter privately, but I haven't told anyone else. Where did you hear it? And even my clansmen think that the mechanical gnome is just a legend."

   "No no no, they are not legends."

   Black explains:

   "As you can see, Master Overspark, I'm a Kul Tiran, I grew up in Boralus, and there's a legend about mechs.

   It is said that there are days of the month when the weather in Boralus can get very bad.

  In the black storm, many citizens have seen some peculiar aircraft take off from the rainstorm city. They will bring a lot of packages, and even occasionally fly into the clouds with living creatures and disappear. "

  The pirate looked at the dwarf's increasingly bright eyes, he coughed and said:

   "The people in our place are more superstitious, and they will spread the urban anecdote of 'robot thieves who steal things'. I think the protagonist described in that story should be the legendary mechanical gnome.

   But our engineering is too poor to detect their disguise. "

"Really?"

   Overspark's eyes lit up, and the dwarf said sharply:

   "After so many years, I've searched the entire Eastern Continent, and I'm despairing myself. Who would have thought that the compatriots who left Gnomeregan thousands of years ago would actually settle overseas?

  I really want to go and see it now. "

   "Let's wait for the war to end, my friend."

  Black laughed like a fox that stole a chicken and said:

   "I have a ship, and I am familiar with the route to Kul Tiras. When everything settles down, I would love to take you on an expedition to the sea."

   "Okay, then it's settled."

   Overspark snapped his fingers, shook the small bag in his hand, and said:

   "This thing is my deposit, human, I won't cut corners for you this time, but you will send me to Kul Tiras safely."

   "Well, we agreed."

  The pirate shook his head with a thumbs up.

   watched the dwarf leave, then turned his head to the ranger beside him and said:

   "Look, you can't slack off dealing with these smart, cunning little guys. They're so smart you won't even notice if they do anything."

  Nathanos nodded in agreement. He had just looked at a few dwarf drawings, and he was completely confused. He had no idea what was drawn on them.

   After a few minutes, the ranger who was admiring all kinds of strange things here suddenly raised his head, glanced at the sky, and said to the pirate who was playing with a weird machine beside him:

   "Look, Shaw is back on a griffin."

   "Go, find him."

  Blake flipped his fingers, and the machine in hand disappeared in the palm of his hand, pulling the Ranger to the griffon bar.

   Shortly after they left, the gnome engineer screamed:

   "Hey, who saw the chicken changer I just made? Where are my rocket boots?"

   "Ah! The improved brainwashing cap I just made is gone!"

   "My death ray gun was stolen, and the drawings of the world amplifier are gone!"

   "No, I've been robbed! Alarm, pull the alarm! It must be those assassins with dirty hands and feet who came in and stole our explosive grenades again, turn on the detection radar!

   The dark thunders are scattered!

   Be sure to teach them a lesson this time! Show them that midgets are not to be messed with! "
