Ironforge was always sweltering, and once again, she woke up early in her thirst, and after a long period of confusion, she realized that no one had gotten up at this time, and she decided to go out for a walk.

The city in the mountains is also lit day and night like Nomorigan, but the dwarves also have unique routines, and it is amusing to think that the two people who live in close proximity may not have seen each other in years.

The flames of the melting pot were so bright that they made her feel uneasy, and not long after she went out, she walked into the outer ring of the city, and when she passed by the bank, the cold wind poured in from outside the majestic city gates, and passers-by could not help but shiver and refresh, which made her remember that the outside of the city was a snow-capped mountain that did not melt all year round.

There was no one in the bank, the teller was lying at the counter, dozing off behind the thick steel mesh, the door of the vault was still locked, and Loria wondered what would be piled up inside, the pile of gold coins or fine equipment, or both.

Walking out of the bank and going to the auction house opposite, the auctioneer is bored throwing the small hammer in his hand, there are a few idle people here, in a precarious world, the business of the auction house is always better than the bank...... She looked up at the large blackboards hanging on the four walls, with the latest lots and their bids written on them, and she could participate in the bidding with a deposit, and when the consignment time ran out, the auction house would send the consignment items based on the information of the winning bidder.

Ores and herbs occupy most of the blackboard, some weapons marked as overpriced are hidden in the corner, and there are also some strange things, recipes and rare fish from Kalimdo, and many more things that cannot be written down unless you go to the auctioneer to check them.

She looked a little and saw that there was nothing she was interested in, people were always throwing things they didn't need at the auction house, and those rare items were always overpriced here—everyone wanted a windfall, and who would come to this place if they bought a lot of supplies.

Straightening her unkempt hair, she walked in the direction of the Great Museum, she thought, if you are really bored, go and check out the collection there, the dwarves have brought back antiquities from all over the world on display, although it is not interesting, but it is inevitable that people will like their practices, except for war and drinking, the dwarves have never forgotten to explore secrets that have nothing to do with the present.

The dwarf who peddled cave mushrooms stared at her expectantly, and she walked over and handed out a silver coin, took back a handful of dried mushrooms, and stuffed them into her mouth as she went, light and tasteless, just to fill her stomach, and a lingering fishy smell, she silently stuffed the remaining dried mushrooms back into her pocket.

It's not good to waste food, and it's better to keep it than to keep it and feed it.

The museum is also deserted, although it is difficult to distinguish between day and night in Ironforge, but now seems to be the time for most people to rest, and the sparse visitors wander around the exhibits, and there are no new discoveries, so they regretfully walk away, leaving Loria to watch the archaeological discoveries of the dwarves displayed in the glass one by one, from the skeleton of a giant reptile to the unearthed artifacts of the Troll Empire, there is no human scene in it, for the dwarves with hundreds of years of long life, young human history is all classified as modern times.

She left the museum and continued along the outer ring of the city, where the buildings on both sides of the wide road began to become old, and slowly, even the road narrowed, and even some of the buildings were crushed by the collapsed stones, and they were abandoned and left unattended, and the decay of the great city was just unfolded and then abruptly ended, and a different style suddenly appeared before her eyes—huge arches hung with exaggerated cogs, and even the mailboxes on the side of the road brought in a different color...... Some completely meaningless mechanical devices, no, the idea that machinery must be useful is too limited, and machinery itself is a decorative style.

It was messy, but it had a strange sense of familiarity, and it made her feel like she had returned to a long time ago, to that familiar city.

The bouncing gnome waved enthusiastically at the sight of her, then lowered his head and went about his own business, which was more lively than the rest of the Ironforge Castle, perhaps because of the difference in the schedules of the dwarves and the gnomes.

"Ah, my dear old friend, how can you visit me at this time?"

"I've been here a few times before, but I've heard that you've gone to the steel frame supply station. Hearing the familiar voice, Loria turned and said with a smile.

Gerbin Mekatok was leaning on top of a round machine, he was wearing a dirty and oily vest, his white hair was breaking away from gravity and rushing into the sky at all odd angles, he looked like he hadn't bathed for a long time, he was older than Magni when converted into a dwarf's lifespan, but it was hard to feel the slightest old age in him.

"The generator set there had a serious breakdown, and I took the opportunity to experiment with some new small changes. As he spoke, he casually threw the wrench on the ground, wiped his hands on the dirty vest, and stretched out his hand as he walked towards Loria, "I was overjoyed to hear that you were here, and I was going to visit you...... At my age, it's hard to see old friends again, and even if they do, I don't know if there's another chance. ”

"You're still young, Gerbin. ”

Loria didn't stretch out her hand, she bent down and hugged her alien friend, "How's your auto-combat robot doing?"

"There's a breakthrough, but it's not yet real-combat, you know, I'm not good at combat, and that requires a motion capture system that can react accurately to the enemy's movements...... That's a challenge, Loria, I've got too many weapon modules, and the control modules are so overwhelmed that they all have to be torn down and redone. ”

Speaking of recent research, Gerbin became gusmering, and Loria smiled a rare sincere smile, even though she didn't quite understand what Gerbin was saying.

Their paths drifted apart, and she was born in Nomorigen's highest school, but embarked on a path of magic.

"Your Excellency the Great Craftsman?" a thirteen or fourteen-year-old human boy suddenly ran over, holding a pile of parts in his hand, and when he saw Loria, he looked a little nervous, and he didn't seem to be good at getting along with strangers, and even his voice became lower, "I...... I tried to make a small installation. ”

Looking at the 'device' in his hand that didn't even tighten the nut, Gerbin and Loria couldn't help but look away.

"Oh, this is ...... The guests from Stormwind are trying to find their way. Gerbin explained.

Obviously, he didn't have the slightest talent in mechanical engineering.
