Chapter Eighty-Seven: Conversation in an Abandoned Mine

The fire is swaying, dispelling the cold of the morning, and with the rising sun, Anduin wakes up early to check the condition of the dragon eggs.

After returning to the surface, he consulted the system and Jenny Turtle's opinion to barbecue the ...... Well, in the way of bathing in flames, the red dragon heir who hatched and retreated into an egg, compared to the little turtle that rolled out of the fire, this one is much calmer, and he is in the flames peacefully, and the red eggshell is shining, which seems to be very enjoyable.

"How many days does this guy have to hatch?"

[Preliminary scanning, the life reaction of the dragon body in the egg is not strong, it is estimated that it will take a long time, of course, the dragon race, as a special race, may have abnormal performance. 】

Anduin nodded slightly, ignoring it, and instead helped Gourmet One prepare breakfast, and the Hearthstone Inn was open.

Because Red's relationship with everyone is getting more and more harmonious, so Anduin can always see a group of early birds when he walks out of the corridor, fighting for food, don't get me wrong, struggle is not fighting, Red for food, everyone for the wallet, so he wrestles his wrist to decide who can eat more, sometimes, satisfaction is that you can spend the same amount of money, eat more food than others, even if it's just a piece of sweet bread.

"Earl Anduin, morning!"

"Ready to eat? I'm starving! ”

The architects and explorers greeted each other very warmly, but more eyes were still focused on the round table in the center of the crowd, and Red and Jones sat opposite each other, their hands clasped in the air, their elbows pressed against the table, their teeth clenched, and their muscles exposed, trying to bring each other down with all their might.

Anduin glanced at him and ordered Masif to begin loading, and a thud sounded in his ears to reveal the victory.

Red beat his chest excitedly: "Haha! Jones, you've lost! ”

The expedition leader rubbed his reddened palms and smiled bitterly: "I would have known that I wouldn't have been able to do it, yesterday I went up with Hera Tieli, and I thought it would be easy, they are all fourth-order peaks, why is there such a big gap between the strength of orcs and humans?" ”

"I don't know why, but I know that if you two grind harder, your wages will fly this morning!"

Anduin said lightly without looking back, and Jones and Red woke up like a dream and helped Masif carry breakfast together.

In fact, after Red spawned the legendary card, Anduin no longer planned to ask Jones to look at the other party, but the strange thing is that President Jones, who spends a lot of money, attaches great importance to this low-paying delivery job, and as for the reason, he heard from Bishop Nilasek - free food is very superior!

Anduin couldn't understand, so he let him go, anyway, there were two fourth-order powerhouses who acted as delivery people, and it was quite face-saving to say it.

As the sun gradually rose, all the customers in the hotel woke up, or sit quietly or laugh or talk or eat, everyone has their own little world, no one disturbs anyone, Anduin stood behind the bar, looking at the gradually forming atmosphere of the hotel, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, this is the situation he expected, home-like freedom, home-like warmth.

However, the fly in the ointment is that the Hearthstone Inn is still a little sparsely populated, and when the meal is over, the explorers and architects all flock to the ruins of the church, and the empty hall is often left only with the old lord Jederick and the dwarf engineer Green, who is attracted by the food to stay at the inn.

"Old man, seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, and the livestock in the pasture are also preparing to be transferred to the mine for the winter, please look at the inn with Engineer Green, I will take Red to check the situation of the abandoned mine."

The old gentleman waved his hand, signaling Anduin to rest assured, and the dwarf engineer with a satisfied face also said that there would be no chaos.

Anduin then took Red into the howling cold wind and hurried to the town's only mine.

The history of this pit is almost the same as that of Stormwind, and it is with the high-quality iron ore and the tax exemption policy that Bolval attracted enough workers, and then gradually developed the territory into its current state, only then a mining disaster caused the pit to be abandoned, and it was reduced to a winter place for pasture livestock.

The pit is located in a cave on the north side of the ranch, and traces of the mine can still be seen around the entrance of the cave, Anduin refused the guidance of the ranch management, holding a scepter and torch, and walked into the dark pit with Red, the purpose of his visit is not only to check the situation of the tunnel, but also to test Red's attitude.

To be precise, Red's attitude towards his brother Maim, the Twilight Holy See, and the Black Dragon Prince.

In the empty pit, only the footsteps of the two echoed around, and Red followed Anduin's command to pour the oil prepared in advance into the oil lamps on the tunnel walls to provide lighting energy for future management work, until the last oil lamp was filled, and the two did not stop.

Red held the torch, looked at the pit blocked by sand and soil, and asked inexplicably: "Boss, I found some ore residues on the way here, according to the direction of this ore vein and the quality of the ore, it should be able to dig for decades, how can it be good, why is it abandoned?" ”

"I don't know the exact reason, but I know that when I was a child, there was a mining accident that killed many miners, and after that, my uncle, the previous Earl of Storm, ordered the pit to be blocked."

Anduin said in a deep voice, in fact, he probably guessed the specific reason, it should be that the pit extended to the territory of an underground race, and was violently attacked, and in order to prevent more casualties, and also to hide the underground world, Berval made the decision to block, otherwise, when the matter is big, it will inevitably get the attention of the Silver Fortress and the Blackstone Orcs, and there will be no way to make Stormwind Town develop steadily.

"Now that this matter has been turned over, don't bother with it."

Anduin didn't want to make a fuss about this pit for the time being, so he pretended to be casual and said to Red: "In two days, you will be able to return to the orc tribe, how do you feel?" ”

Red was stunned, didn't know how to answer, turned to look at the warm clothes and precious scarf on his body, scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly: "I don't have any feelings, I just think it's very good here, it's not the same as before, if I have the opportunity, I still want to come and stay for a few days!" In addition, didn't the boss say that he would open a branch in our Blackstone tribe, and he could tell me directly when the time came, and there would definitely be no trouble. ”

Red clenched his fists, looking very confident, and Anduin followed this sentence and suddenly asked, "Could it be that you only think about eating and drinking these days?" ”

"Huh?"

The chief's son opened his mouth, not understanding why Andu suddenly became ruthless: "Of course not! There are also part-time jobs, and there are reflections. ”

"Good! Tell me how you reflected! ”

Red had no choice but to say truthfully: "I shouldn't be so reckless, I have to think carefully before doing things, and I am willing to gamble and bear the consequences." ”

"That's all?"

Anduin's tone was very serious, leaving Red unsure of what to answer.

"It seems that you still don't understand, what is Venerable Orgrim asking you to reflect?" Anduin shook his head again and again, looking very disappointed, "He wants you to leave the Blackstone Tribe for a while, look at what you have done in the past from the perspective of a bystander, and more importantly, review the development of the Blackstone Tribe in recent years. ”

"Is this ......," Red said confused, "is this necessary?" ”

"Nonsense!"

Anduin scolded, showing an expression full of hatred on his face: "You still don't know, how serious the situation has been?" Then let me ask you, what was the purpose of you bringing the wolf cavalry to Stormwind in the first place? ”

Hearing this, Red's gaze changed slightly: "Find out the cause of Black Fist's death......"

"So have you figured it out now? The answer is clearly in my mouth, why haven't you asked? ”

Red didn't dare to say anything, because he only wanted to take revenge on Anduin at first, but then he was immersed in the good environment of Stormwind Town, and he had long forgotten about it except for superficial introspection.

Anduin took a deep breath, stood on tiptoe, patted Red's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Red, don't blame me for being angry all of a sudden, it's really because the situation in the Blackstone Tribe is so serious that you can't imagine it!" Look at this and you'll find out. ”

As he spoke, Anduin threw out the body of Black Wing, and Red looked at it, and his face suddenly changed: "This is Black Wing?" Didn't he follow Omok to guard Blackstone Mountain? How did it become what it is now? ”

"The reason is that he took refuge in the Twilight Holy See."

Anduin's gaze was extremely sharp, and he met Red's eyes: "Now, do you know the real cause of Black Fist's death?" ”
