Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 734 65. Alert! alarm! Intrusion Alert!

   "buzzing"

   Near noon, the expedition, mostly gnomes, crossed the unique frost-covered ridge of Tiragarde Sound in five planes.

The roar of    goblin rotorcraft echoed in the sky above the vanishing glacier, making Black's head hurt.

   His head hurts not only because of the unique operating noise of the goblin rotorcraft, but also because of the constant ranting of the little dwarf Kelsey who is driving the rotorcraft in front of him.

   It's full of disdain for the crude creations of goblin engineering, and fancy flattery for gnome engineering.

   But the problem is, the magical eyeballs on Black's shoulders, wearing the flying helmet, roll over and look at the small dwarf jet glider next to them, and the noise of that thing flying is no less than that of a goblin gyro.

   And there is still black smoke billowing from the back of the butt, which is very unenvironmental at first glance.

   This is the reality proof of the big brother, don't laugh at the second brother.

   Whether it is goblin engineering or gnome engineering, there is no very good aircraft developed at this stage. Although the design ideas of the two are completely different, in Blake's view, they both have a long way to go.

but

   "I heard that the aircraft used by the mechanical gnomes to carry supplies are electric!"

  Black interrupted Kelsey's rant about the goblin gyrocopter, saying aloud aloft:

   "Since you are both dwarfs, there is not much difference in intelligence. When will you be able to make such a quiet and efficient aircraft?"

   "Uh, well, it will take a while."

  Kelsey instantly became dumbfounded.

   The little dwarf pushed his engineering goggles and said with an embarrassed expression:

   "The project has been approved and is being researched with the participation of the smartest mechanics in Gnomeregan. Maybe there will be good news soon."

   "Project? I think I just created a folder."

  Blake whispered.

   He looked down from this high altitude, and the frost-covered mountains below had been crossed. From here, he could see the large grasslands under the snowy mountains of Kennings Camp and the knights roaming above.

   Looking further to the northwest, you can even faintly see the tall military passage wall standing in front of Jiwei Mountain.

   That city wall-like building is called "Delin's Gate".

  It is said that after the war between the orcs, it was funded by the local sea merchants. On the one hand, it was to strengthen the defense force of the guard mountain at the junction with the Drustwar Mountains.

   On the other hand, this way of "covering the spectacle" is also used to flatter the admiral. I heard that a coastal fort in Stormsong Valley has also been renamed to Fort Daelin.

   Have to say, they did a great job.

  I don't know if Daelin likes it, but at least the Kul Tiras fleet likes it.

   They believe that this kind of military facilities built for victory is both practical and commemorative to show off martial arts, and it is the real "virtuous government", so a trend soon formed in the local area.

  The bards of Port Boralus even started writing poems for the wall.

   "Below! It's just ahead, do you see it? The col under the glacier, next to the big hot spring area, descend!"

  Blake's magical eyeballs are blessed with eagle eyes, and his eyesight is very good.

   He quickly discovered the iconic terrain while cruising high, and at his cry, the formation of planes in the air changed direction towards that place and lowered the heights.

   "Hey, why is the water so dark?"

   Driving a gyrocopter and wearing mechanical goggles, Kelsey Steelspark adjusted the focal length of the glasses. She hovered in the air for a few weeks and discovered the abnormality below.

   she exclaimed:

   "Why does the lake water feel weird? It's so viscous. Wait, that's oil! Crude oil!"

   "Yeah, Crude Lake."

   Black said in an unnerving tone:

   "A few years ago, goblins tried to come here to extract oil, but they were rejected by the authorities.

  The locals all know that there is crude oil in that lake, but you have also seen the terrain here, it is difficult to transport them out, so it has been idle here.

  Speaking of which, if there was ever a city of mechanical gnomes, then this lake must have been their energy source. "

   "Well, this guess is very reasonable! We need further observation."

   Kelsey nodded.

  As an engineering technician, she knows that crude oil is a necessity for many engineering machines. Although gnomes rarely use it, the goblins regard it as a "strategic resource".

   And such a big oil lake is indeed enough to support the daily operation of a small mechanical city.

   "Drop! Land!"

  The master craftsman Overspark on the other side was even more excited. He took pictures with the gnomes' mechanical cameras on the plane, and yelled for the expedition team members to land.

   All gnomes are excited.

   They seem to have smelled the rust smell of that big metal garbage dump.

   They thought it was a good start.

  Blake jumped first, the watchman's cloak behind him folded into wings in the air, carried him to glide in the air, and fell all the way in the direction of the big hot spring area.

   Nearly ten minutes later, when the gnomes were getting ready to head towards the mechanical ruins, Black rushed over with a group of guys waiting in the hot spring area.

   "Yo, a bunch of cute little dwarfs."

  Little Xingxing, who was sitting in front of the magic carpet, opened her eyes wide and looked at a group of fully armed dwarf expeditions ahead. She shouted:

   "My favorite is gnomes. Many members of our blue dragons like to become gnomes when they go out, which will show our ingenuity!

   After all, in human society, dwarfs have always been a symbol of wisdom. "

   "Dwarfs are also a symbol of power and weakness in human society. They are really suitable for you, my stupid little star. Well, let's stop talking about this, Fenna, let's lead the way."

  Blake sneered at Little Xingxing, and gestured to Fenna in hunting suit.

  The stupid warrior snorted and took out the map she drew when she came here several times to explore. In the past period of time, she has come here twice in the name of hunting and distraction according to Black's request.

   She is very familiar with this place.

   And little Jaina behind the magic carpet was quietly introducing Mr. Black's identity to her younger brother.

   is of course "beautified".

   "Mr. Black is a Master Assassin, he is of great character, he has helped me and my mentor several times, saved many people, and defeated terrible enemies.

   At the same time, he was a learned man.

   He knows a lot of secrets, the world has no secrets in his eyes, you should respect him as you respect a scholar. "

  Jaina made the pirates as beautiful as possible.

   As a result, Black turned around and said to Tan Reid in a gentle tone:

   "Trust your sister's words, little prince, I am indeed as perfect as she described, treat me as a credible big brother, you will do whatever I ask you to do.

  For example, I want you to jump into the oil lake next to you now.

   Hehe, I won't do that, don't be afraid.

   Of course, you can't trust the mages. For example, she didn't tell you that in addition to being a master assassin, I'm also a big pirate.

   But I believe that you, who are so cute, will not tell everyone this news with a big mouth, right? "

   "Black!"

  Tan Reid had a dazed look on his face and before he could react, little Jaina screamed angrily:

   "I'm trying to protect you!

  Once the idiot Tanreid slips up, you'll be hunted by the entire Kul Tiras navy in no time! They don't appreciate the beauty of your soul like I do. "

"I am not a fool!"

   Tan Reid immediately retorted.

   But neither Jaina nor Blake paid any attention to him.

   "It's okay, I'm not afraid."

  Blake waved his hand and pulled the little star beside him who was grimacing at Fina with his head tilted to his side.

He says:

   "I am a loyal human servant of the great Terminator and the savior of Azeroth, His Highness Little Star! If your soldiers want to capture me, they must first pass the level of His Highness Little Star.

   You are right?

  My noble lord. "

   "Hmph, that's a good name, I like the tone of voice, remember to speak like this in the future."

  Xiaoxing nodded with satisfaction, stood in front of Black with his hips on his hips, coughed twice, and said to Tan Reid:

   "Listen carefully, Your Royal Highness, if you dare to reveal the identity of my human servant, I will use a terrifying dragon language magic to turn you into a 'little princess'.

  I have many beautiful dresses for you to wear. "

   The evil blue dragon also added in a threatening tone:

   "You can ask your sister who is a mage to see if I can do it."

   "Hey, you are not allowed to scare him."

   Fenna waved her fist and knocked on Little Xingxing's head, causing Princess Blue Dragon to scream. The eldest sister of the Proudmoore family glanced back at Tan Reed.

she says:

   "Tan Reid is a very smart boy, he knows what to do. Let's go, don't be stunned here, the last time I came here, I found something very interesting.

   just took you to see it.

  Follow me, this **** dump looks dirty, but if you walk the right way, it's really weird inside. Also, don't touch those coils, they occasionally release lightning

   Don't ask me how I know. "

After   , the eldest sister led the way, and the dwarfs, armed with all kinds of strange instruments, followed behind her.

  Little Xingxing put away the magic carpet, and was like a follower behind Blake, while tossing her beautiful hair, she asked questions.

   Jaina and Tanreid also marched on foot, with Ceanigosa at the end as the team's rear defense, the steam princess knight holding the rune sword of the Green Dragonflight and a dragon man shield in the other hand.

   is always ready to block possible dangers for His Royal Highness Little Xingxing.

   But with the level of force of this group, even if something really jumped out, they would definitely not be able to do anything.

  The crowd followed Fenna into the garbage heap, surrounded by "hills" of strange metal waste, and the weathered wreckage of some buildings. The broken walls were covered with vines, and at first glance, they had been abandoned for a long time.

   is at least a hundred years, or even a thousand years.

   And all the way the gnomes watched the various things piled up on the metal junk piles.

  Especially those gears of different sizes, each of which is fortunately taken by the gnome engineers to carefully extract a complete sample and put it into the box they carry with them.

  The dwarfs were having a heated discussion, chattering loudly.

  Prince Tan Reid wanted to listen to it, but all he heard were some obscure engineering terms, which made him quickly lose interest.

   He turned his attention to Black, who was talking to the little star.

   He was very curious, what happened to this man with a tall hat and a strange eye patch? Why are his two sisters and the Blue Dragon ladies so supportive and trusting in him?

   Also, how did he, a pirate, dare to set foot on the land of Kul Tiras?

   Isn't he afraid of being hunted by the navy?

   Is this man so courageous?

   "I'm very courageous, little prince. It's not a good habit to speak ill of others in your heart."

   Just when Tan Reid was thinking about these questions, a sinister voice suddenly sounded in his ear, like a phantom sound, making the little prince nervous all of a sudden.

   looked left and right, and held the short-barreled firearm around his waist.

   "Black! You are not allowed to bully him with psychic magic!"

  Little Jaina stood in front of Tan Reed, who still didn't understand what was going on, and screamed to Black:

   "He's still a kid!"

   "You're a kid too."

   The words with a Nasrezim tone also rang in Jaina's ears, and Blake said with a little helplessness:

   "It's just that you learned to control your mind from old Merry, and it's hard for me to hear what's on your mind. Don't be so nervous, little Jaina, I'm just saying hi to your brother.

   You didn't tell him about your brother, did you?

   This little idiot doesn't seem to be the type to keep secrets. "

"No."

   Jaina replied briefly, then turned her head to touch her ears, Tan Reid said with a curious expression:

   "Don't play with him, he's a bad guy and will bring you down."

   "Look! I found this in the trash last time! How's it going? Weird, right?"

   Fenna in front also walked to the end of the pile of mechanical garbage she last went deep into, and took out a strange thing that only half of it was left from the hole next to it that was covered with leaves.

   That looks like a cheetah.

   But the whole body is made of black metal.

   The metal plate that constitutes its body has long been rotten and weathered, but from the inside of the broken mechanical body, complex coils and some obscure engineering modules can still be seen.

   The Metal Panther's eyes are peculiar, composed entirely of delicate agate gemstones.

  It also has a movable iron jaw, which is decorated with file-like teeth, and the claws composed of short-knife-like metal blades make the scalp numb.

The peculiar thing about the    group is that there is a launcher similar to a musket muzzle at its throat.

   "Put it down!"

   Overspark screamed when he saw this thing.

   The moment Fenna, who was so frightened to show her "trophy", released her hand, and the half of the metal leopard was smashed to the ground. The dwarfs screamed and rushed over, just like the perverts who saw the beauty.

   A group of people surrounded the wreckage and started chatteringly pulling out various types of wrenches, rolling up their sleeves, and appearing to be preparing to dismantle this seemingly advanced thing on the spot.

   "Hey guys!"

  Black rushed up, pushed aside the gnomes who had activated the "research frenzy", and kicked the broken metal panther aside, he shouted:

   "We are here to find the traces of the mechanical gnomes, not for you to pick up junk! You can dismantle it anytime you want. Now, hurry up and find clues, okay?

   We have three princesses and a little prince here!

  You rude gnomes, are you planning to let these 'big men' spend the night in the garbage with you?

  So, hurry up, okay?

   Get moving!

  Guys, activate your smart brains, hurry up."

   "Drip!"

   Before Blake could finish his words, some kind of harsh siren suddenly sounded throughout the dead garbage heap.

  The dwarfs shuddered.

  The pirate suddenly turned around.

  The magic eyeball on his shoulder flew out and circled high in the air, and saw that the discarded coil in the northeast of the garbage dump began to wind a dazzling arc, as if some device had been activated.

   "Where's Kelsey? Who saw Kelsey? Where did she go?"

   Overspark screamed.

   They thought they had lost their compatriots, but seconds later, the nimble Kelsey jumped out from the other side of the **** heap with a clipped cable in her hand.

   The little dwarf with putty on his face said to everyone in front of him in an embarrassed tone:

   "Well, guys, I just connected the two wires I found in the junk pile together, and then, I seem to have activated a pretty cool thing."

   "There is an attack! Get down!"

   Seanne shouted.

   Like the most qualified bodyguard, she rushed over and pressed the confused little star to the ground, protecting the screaming little star with her body.

  Blake's reaction was also very fast. When he disappeared and reappeared, he had already grabbed Jaina and Tanred one by one and threw them towards Fenna.

   He flipped a handsome watchman on the spot and used a standard upside-down gold hook to accurately kick back the two round objects shot from the side.

   "Boom, boom"

  Two loud bangs and flames splattered.

   Amid the screams of the cowardly gnomes, Blake glanced over there, and several swift figures were rushing out of the flames and rushing towards them.

   Okay.

  These unreliable gnomes never disappoint in the aspect of rectification!
