Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 230 49. It's not good, it's a thief!

"Miss Jinjian? She's not in the Valley of the Kings right now."

Nathanos received a disappointing answer from the quartermaster of the High Elf Expeditionary Army.

The quartermaster who was counting the number of arrows in the warehouse was very busy, so he didn't explain the whereabouts of the golden sword to the ranger in detail, but told him in general:

"Miss Jinjian has now joined the expulsion of the orcs as a forward, and should be active in the Burning Plains. 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, so she naturally asked with all her heart.

As a result, the quartermaster looked suspiciously at him, and Nathanos immediately took out his Farstrider badge, which represented that although he was a human, he was the "family" of the high elves.

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

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

Therefore, their whereabouts are confidential, and there is no Sorcerer's Stone in the camp to contact them.

If you're really in a hurry, you can go find them, and you're a member of the Farstriders, so you should be able to find the roadmarks they left behind.

And Miss Jinjian is very recognizable. "

Speaking of which, the busy quartermaster also put down the record book in his hand, looked around, raised his slender eyebrows, and said gossipingly:

"She is a half-elf. Although she comes from a magical family, her other half of the blood gives her a stronger body than the clansmen, and her ears are also more delicate than the clansmen.

Many people are speculating on who Miss Jin Jian's biological father is.

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

I helped Miss Golden Sword repair her armor.

The scars on it are shocking, and it can be seen how violent her posture was during the battle. Speaking of which, you are also a human being. "

The quartermaster blinked and said to Marius:

"Are you here to look for her for her biological father? Come on, tell me quietly who is that big man? I will keep it a secret. No one in the camp knows. My mouth is the strictest."

"yes?"

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

He prevaricated a few words, walked out of the quartermaster's tent, and found Bu Laike who was leaning against a tree trunk on the outskirts of the camp, listening to a group of wounded elves playing three-stringed lutes and singing songs not far away.

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

"My old man's pedigree is indeed excellent, and he is also very partial. He gave my sister the part of his blood that belongs to the sea, and the part that belongs to soldiers to my sister."

While enjoying the melodious singing of the high elves, Laike complained:

"He gave the best to his two girls, and what he gave to me was a mess, and my younger brother will probably be a guy who is not high enough or low enough in the future.

The family status of a boy is miserable, right? "

"But you are almost becoming a master assassin now, which means 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 stalk from his hand, held 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 you had family problems. Children who don't get love grow up to be monsters. This is an elf saying."

The Ranger laughed out loud, patted Bu Laike on the shoulder, and asked:

"So where do you go next? Go directly to the Burning Plains to find the golden sword? Or go to complete your master assassin trial?"

"Go to the dwarves."

The pirate thought for a while and said:

"I'm going to find a blacksmith to make something. By the way, when Xiaoer comes back, that guy must have something to tell us. As for the golden sword, there is no rush.

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 front dwarf camp.

Compared with humans and elves, this side is much more noisy. Those muscular dwarves have built several large forges and several workshops here.

The fire scorched and black smoke billowed.

The dwarves were wearing blacksmith vests one by one, exposing their steel-like muscles, and wielding forging hammers there, making weapons and protective gear for decisive battles.

Next to it is a cannon-making place, where a group of noisy dwarves are busy.

The most exaggerated thing is that there are still seven or eight dwarven steam tanks waiting for maintenance next to the camp.

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

There is no barrel, just a huge car body, and no tracks underneath.

It uses two rows of wheels driven by drive shafts and levers.

The dwarves are also very artistic, shaping the head of a beast on the front of the car body to create a deterrent effect on their own steam tanks, usually with the heads of griffins or rams.

Although there are no barrels, these tanks are equipped with steam-powered continuous-firing machine guns designed by the gnomes, revealing a weird sense of magic technology.

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

It's a pity that Bo Laike doesn't have many acquaintances with the dwarves, and there is almost no way to get close, so he found the dwarf and reported the name of Kelsey Steelshine, and then he was received by the busy dwarf engineer.

"Gangshuo and their secret agents are the most daring and brave group of us gnomes."

A dwarf engineer with red goggles and wielding a wrench said in a high-pitched voice:

"They are all on the Burning Plains now, flying rotorcraft to bomb the orc army. They are all war heroes, and their friends are also friends of all the gnomes.

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

"I want to make a piece of assassin equipment."

Bu Laike took out the drawings he had drawn from his arms, spread them out in front of the dwarf, and introduced to him:

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

"This drawing is so bad."

The dwarf engineer wearing goggles mercilessly complained. He stood on a chair, looked at the drawings spread out in front of him, thought for a few minutes while holding his beard, and said to the pirate:

"It can be done, no problem. Its structure is very simple, just a very common spring energy storage mechanism. Not only can I make it, but I can also improve it. But the materials need to be provided by you."

"No problem, I brought the materials over."

The pirate took out a small bag from the magic bag, looked around, and handed it to the dwarf engineer, who took it and took a look.

Curiously, he took out a black, curved claw from it.

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."

The pirate grinned and said:

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

Do it with this dragon tendon. "

"cool!"

The dwarf engineer whistled loudly and said:

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

After speaking, he tapped the dragon claws and dragon bones in his pocket again, raised his head and said to Bu Laike:

"I don't want to pay, I can help you do it for free, make it before tomorrow morning, and make four for you, but the leftovers are mine. I want to take it back to the Gnomeregan collection."

"Four, yes."

The pirate took one look at the dwarf engineer, and said:

"But don't cut corners, my wise friend, you dwarves have assassins too, you know how good they are, I don't think you would want to offend a master assassin."

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

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

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

I will never do something like this to ruin my reputation! "

"Hey, you are Overspark?"

Bu Laike exclaimed in surprise, then immediately apologized and said:

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

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

The white-haired dwarf craftsman in front of him waved his hands generously, mentioned the materials given by Bu Laike, and was about to turn around to do the work, but was stopped by the pirate.

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 dwarf?"

"Ok?"

Overspark, who was already walking away, turned his head sharply, and the white-bearded gnome snapped open his red goggles and stared at Boo Laike with ghostly eyes.

He said:

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

"No, no, they are not legends."

Bu Laike explained:

"As you can see, Master Overspark, I am a Kul Tiran. I grew up in Boralus, where there is a legend about a mechanical villain.

It is said that for a few days every month, the weather in Boralus can get really bad.

In the black storm, many citizens have seen some strange aircraft take off from the rainstorm city, they will bring a lot of packages, and occasionally even bring living things into the clouds and disappear. "

The pirate looked into the dwarf's brighter eyes, coughed, and said:

"People in our place are quite superstitious, and they will spread the urban legend of 'robotic thief who steals things'. I think the protagonist described in that story should be the legendary mechanical gnome.

But our engineering skills are too poor to detect their camouflage. "

"Really?"

Overspark's eyes sparkled, and the dwarf said in a high-pitched voice:

"For so many years, I have searched the entire eastern continent, and I am almost desperate. Who would have thought that the compatriots who left Gnomeregan thousands of years ago would actually settle overseas?

I really want to go see it now. "

"Let's wait until the war is over, my friend."

Bo Laike smiled like a fox who stole a chicken and said:

"I have a ship, and I am very familiar with the route to Kul Tiras. After everything is settled, I am willing to take you on a sea adventure."

"Okay, then it's settled."

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

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

"Well, it's done."

The pirate gave a thumbs up and waved.

Watching the dwarf leave, he turned his head and said to the ranger beside him:

"Look, you can't slack off dealing with these smart, cunning little people. They're so smart that you wouldn't know if they were doing something."

Nathanos nodded approvingly. He just looked at a few drawings of the dwarves, but he was confused and couldn't figure out what was drawn on them.

A few minutes later, the ranger, who was admiring all kinds of strange gadgets at the dwarf, suddenly raised his head, glanced at the sky, and said to the pirate who was playing with a strange machine beside him:

"Look, Shaw is back riding a griffin."

"Go, find him."

Bu Laike flipped his fingers, and the machine at hand disappeared into his palm, and he led the ranger to the griffin fence.

Shortly after they left, the dwarf engineer screamed:

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

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

"My death ray gun was stolen, and the blueprint for the world amplifier is gone!"

"No, there's a thief! Alarm, hurry up and pull the alarm! Those assassins with dirty hands and feet must have come in to steal our explosive grenades again, quickly turn on the detection radar!

All the dark thunders are cast down!

We must teach them a lesson this time! Let them know that gnomes are not to be messed with! "
