After roughly counting the number of dragonmen disguised as royal guards in the Stormwind Fortress, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but secretly sigh at the stupidity of Duke Bervar Vortagen in some aspects.

As a powerful paladin, he should have easily detected the difference between humans and dragonmen, but now that more than a third of his soldiers had been replaced, he didn't even react at all.

It's no wonder that Matthias Shore never considered using assassination or anything like that before he knew the true identity of Countess Catlana Presto, otherwise it would have been impossible for Onexia to transform, and the regent would have tore this bastard who dared to do something to his beloved woman.

Some behavioral experts may think that a person's behavior is usually composed of 50% reason and 50% emotion, and once reason overwhelms emotion, then the person will behave very calmly, but if the opposite is true, he will behave more impulsively.

But in Zhang Cheng's view, a person's behavior has never had much to do with reason, and strong emotions and desires are the root.

Just imagine, how many people in the world have inadvertently done things that they would be ashamed of and regret in order to be different?

How many people give up benefits that should have been readily available for the sake of so-called dignity, principles, or face?

How many people have to leave their careers, dreams and ambitions behind to take a job that they can support their families but hate in order to maintain their families, love, affection, and friendship?

If human behavior were truly dominated by reason, none of these wrong choices would be possible.

They should be like robots, automatically filtering out all the negative factors, and embark on the path that can make them more profitable and improve their social status.

Countless facts have proved that in the face of strong emotions and desires, reason is simply vulnerable, so it is not surprising that Duke Berval Vortagen was toyed with by the Black Dragon Princess.

Fortunately, no matter how turbulent and dark the political situation in Stormwind City is, it has little to do with Zhang Cheng.

After saying goodbye to Onexia, he crossed the stone arch bridge directly into the dwarven quarters, intending to see how much the demon-breaking bullets were ready.

But before he could get close to Cleney Coppersmith's blacksmith's shop, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside.

"Damn, get out! How many times have I told you! This is not for sale!" the old dwarf's angry voice echoed through the airy alley.

"Don't lie to me, dwarf! This sword has been here for two weeks! The owner of the sword you said has never appeared! I don't think anyone would leave such a powerful magic weapon in your shop for two weeks without coming to pick it up. Do you think I can't afford to pay?" another slightly shrill woman's voice followed.

"Buy?hahahaha!Don't make me laugh!Self-righteous human girl!This sword is worth more than you think!Look at the beautiful blade, and look at the runes carved into the sword, even the most powerful protective magic will be as fragile as paper in front of it. Give it up, you simply can't afford it, and I'm not qualified to sell it to anyone. ”

As the last word fell, not a single white pungent smoke came out of the blacksmith's shop. You don't have to ask to know that the old dwarf is smoking his beloved pipe again.

With a slight curiosity, Zhang Cheng once again walked into this small blacksmith shop, and saw Kleiny Copper Hammer sitting on a chair at a glance, his face full of enjoyment.

Standing not far in front of him was a young woman in thyrified silver plate armor, probably in her early twenties, with long dazzling blond hair and a distinctive badge on her chest.

Although he was not too familiar with the various military organizations in Stormwind City, Zhang Cheng still recognized this girl at a glance as a paladin belonging to the Stormwind Knights.

It is not known whether it will be a trainee knight, a full knight, or some other position.

You must know that the Iron Horse Brotherhood, founded by Lothar, has been in a slump since it was hit hard in the Second Orc War.

In order to have a trump card that can be played at a critical moment, the Stormwind Kingdom invested a large amount of money to establish a new Stormwind Knights, and ordered the Iron Horse Brotherhood to merge all into the Stormwind Knights.

It can be said that the status of the Storm Knights is equivalent to the silver hand of the Lordaeron Kingdom, and it is one of the most important elite military forces in the Storm Kingdom, each knight has a noble title, whether it is weapons or armor, they are attached to all kinds of magic with the help of the Royal Mage Guild, even in front of the endless Scourge Legion.

Zhang Cheng didn't understand why a knight of the Storm Knights would appear in the old dwarf's blacksmith shop.

Just when he was a little stunned, Claney Bronze finally noticed him standing in the doorway, and immediately jumped up and shouted happily: "God, you're finally back! Hurry! Look at the sword I made with my own hands! I swear by my beard! There will be no second magic weapon comparable to it in the whole of Stormwind!"

"Hmm, what sword?" Zhang Cheng paused.

Because he didn't see a single sword-type magic weapon in the house that deserved his attention.

"Hehe, that's what I'm going to focus on you! It's a weapon that refracts light—Morath Spellbreaker!" said the dwarf, removing a silver sword with a silver hilt and an almost transparent blue blade from the far right side of the rack.

If it weren't for the slight reflection caused by the sunlight outside, no one would have noticed the deadly blade.

"Oh—incredible!, how did you do that?" Zhang Cheng took it and gently touched the cold sword body, feeling the powerful power contained inside.

Unlike most of Azeroth's melee weapons, this sword is barely two fingers, almost the same as a bayone, and less than seventy centimeters long, more of a large "toothpick" than a sword.

But it is this "toothpick" that has the power to make all casters tremble, and that is to break the spell.

Any protective magic hit by this sword has a certain chance of instantly disintegrating, and once pierced into the body, it will also disturb the magic circuit in the caster's body, causing some spells to not be released normally.

On top of that, it draws a steady stream of magical energy from all nearby enemies during the fight and transfers it to its wielder!

It's no wonder that a knight of the Storm Knights would take a fancy to this sword, and it is estimated that any warrior, knight, or thief can easily defeat a mage or warlock who is almost the same as his own strength, or even much higher.

"Sorry, I'm not sure exactly what happened during the forging process. When the first rune is carved, it begins to become brighter and brighter for some reason, and when the last rune is carved, it becomes completely transparent. Kleney Copperhammer shrugged his shoulders and explained.
