Chapter 196: Goblins and Gnomes

After the beautiful episode, Anduin sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, commanding the expansion of Stormwind Town, and preparing to deal with the attack from Constantine and the Blood Elves, but unexpectedly, a whole week passed, and there was no movement from the Silver Fortress, as if the five elves had completely forgotten about the five elven sun seekers, and the Sun Holy See also chose to die down after the failure of the "Burning Operation", and subtly affected the believers in a way that was no longer tough.

This also makes Stormwind Town usher in a steady and high-speed development, the soft mud monster materials produced from the underground ruins, have been well received by architects, not only to make the expansion speed of Stormwind Town to a higher level, but also to make the quality of the building also step up to a new level, just a few days of effort, Stormwind Town and the Silver Fortress between the field, there is a large area of shelter from the wind and rain, so that the living pressure of Stormwind Town is greatly reduced, many admirers of the Holy Light, the assembled champion knights, have got rid of the situation of sleeping in the open air, Gradually, he felt a sense of belonging to Stormwind.

At the same time, the emergence of a large number of ooze monster materials has also contributed to the spread of the underground ruins, and as soon as the underground outpost is completed, there are a large number of adventurous Holy Light believers and champion knights who happen to take turns to take turns to buy tickets to enter the dungeon and start their adventures.

Witness Stormwind Town's explosive expansion of Anduin in a short period of time, and stand in the bar of the Hearthstone Inn without moving, experiencing the happiness and pain of being a lord. All kinds of people suddenly poured into the sparsely populated Storm Town, which was undoubtedly happy, but the quickly highlighted sense of crowding and the many contradictions brewing in the secret made Anduin feel a headache.

He had heard more than once the complaints of outsiders, the believers of the Holy Light wanted to build churches as soon as possible, the adventurers hated the high entrance fees, and the traveling nobles frowned on the safety and entertainment issues, even if there were a large number of champion knights stationed on every street, they could not ignore the combat weapons that the adventurers carried with them, and in the eyes of those nobles, in addition to the food and accommodation in the Hearthstone Inn, there were too few ways to entertain Stormwind Town, but the Hearthstone cards that were becoming more and more popular, Then they came into their eyes.

At this time, every table in the Hearthstone Inn has been equipped with improved projection equipment, and the appearance of the classic card pack has revealed the charm of the Hearthstone cards, even if it is not meal time, every table in the Hearthstone Inn is also surrounded by spectators, which makes Anduin think from the bottom of his heart that he should expand a game area in the form of an Internet café in Stormwind Town, and more importantly, the free closed beta should also end.

"I can finally make money with card packs!" Listening to the laughter and noise one after another, Anduin couldn't help but think, "Should I also make a pre-order?" Buy 50 packs get 20 free? This is a good idea, looking at the current situation, as long as the price is moderate, don't worry about not being able to sell, and wait until Engineer Green completes the latest projection transformation, the official version of Otherworldly Hearthstone should be launched! However, before that, it seems that a small competition can be held to stimulate the participation of the masses, and by the way, it will also draw an end to the closed beta phase. ”

Think of it, do it, Anduin began to design the game mode, the promotion rules are the usual catch and fight, but the point is that there is more than one venue, Anduin is ready to use this competition, to achieve the remote battle of Hearthstone cards, the system can be through the Titan bones, weaving a local area network, the latest version of the projector has also joined the online formation, it can be said that everything is ready only to the east wind, and this shareholder wind is the establishment of a dedicated game area.

Anduin was very puzzled before, when the gnomes and goblins could build robots, the residents of Stormwind Town were still using oil lamps, so the focus of this expansion work was the erection of power lines and power plants, Anduin wanted to let electricity into every household in Stormwind City, for this reason, he sent people to the territory of the gnomes and goblins as early as ten days ago, ready to bid for this part of the arduous project to be contracted out, calculate the time, it is time to come.

Sure enough, when Anduin had just announced the end of the mini-tournament and the closed beta, a messenger hurriedly reported that a group of people had come to the Bay Corridor, and judging by their movements, it should be engineers from the Gnome Kingdom.

Without saying a word, Anduin walked out of the Hearthstone Inn, allowing the players in the hall to continue to reminisce and digest the news of the game and the closed beta, he went to the workshop where the cards were printed and the projectors were produced, and called the engineer Green, who had been working hard, to the east of the town to wait for the arrival of the dwarf engineer.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Standing next to the completed Explorers' Guild, Anduin heard several deafening explosions coming from the far end of his sight, and after a while, a dwarf engineer drove his own car, scrambling to speed up, which reminded Anduin of Grimm's steel chariot, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't every dwarf engineer a driving enthusiast?" ”

"Of course not! We prefer to study engines and how to make vehicles faster and stronger than driving, and these guys are driving here, not for convenience, but to compare who is more capable of research. ”

"Oh! How do they compare to you? ”

"Haha! Of course I'm the more powerful, my flaming chariots are invincible, and no one can match them! ”

Engineer Green said proudly, but his voice drifted to the ears of the dwarf engineer who stopped first, and the man retorted without hesitation: "Green, don't brag about yourself anymore, your Flame Chariot is obviously a flame beast imitating Lord Mimiron, and it is not your own technology at all. ”

"Toshley!"

Green seemed to be poked in the sore foot, and immediately exploded, shouting at the dwarf who was walking with broken steps, "I know you are jealous that I have been affirmed by Lord Mimiron, but you can't deny my ability, I get a lot of inspiration from the Flame Behemoth, which proves that my skills are better than all of you." Toshley, if you have the ability, you will build a more powerful engine, and if you don't have the ability, you will go back to your own territory and stay, I really don't know that there are so many things in the southern port, why did you run here? ”

"You don't care about that!" Toshley glanced sideways at Green and patted the rugged gun behind him, "If you can get Mimiron's affirmation, can't I?" Look at this gun, the power it contains is definitely beyond your imagination! ”

The technology tree of the gnome and the goblin, under the influence of supernatural forces, shows a wild imagination, the gun behind Toshlei, is like this, the size of the scope alone, is enough to have half a dwarf's head, compared with the huge scope, the gun itself is pitifully small, however, this does not prevent it from being able to burst out of power at a certain moment, so Green's expression is also a little dignified, and he can't help but show envy: "What a beautiful little guy!" ”

Toshley snorted triumphantly, put away his rugged firearm, and turned his head to look at Anduin with a strange look: "Are you the Marquis of Anduin?" I've heard that you want to build a power station and pay a good enough pay, and my companions and I are more than willing to take on the project, and if you're concerned about the quality of the work, ask Green, he knows what I'm capable of. ”

"Marquis Anduin, Toshleigh is a master engineer like me, and he is capable enough to build a power station that satisfies you in the shortest possible time." Green praised a few words, making Toshley puff up his chest with a smile, but Green then changed the conversation, "But the biggest problem with this guy is that he is young and vigorous, and when he was in the southern port, he always made mistakes, so I suggest that I preside over the construction of the power station, Marquis Anduin, you can't trust others, can you still trust me?" ”

Seeing that Toshley had pulled out the gun again, Anduin wisely declined to comment, and then Toshley pointed his gun at Green and asked angrily, "I would like to ask what I did wrong when I was in the Southern Port?" ”

Green was pointed at the gun, but he was not stunned at all, he stepped forward very hard, and pressed his chest against the muzzle: "Young man, have you forgotten that the muzzle of the gun can never be pointed at your own people?" After all, you are young and vigorous, and I just said it casually, and you are aroused to your nature. ”

"Toshlei! What are you doing? Hurry up and put the gun down! ”

"You've just received Mimiron's commendation, aren't you getting carried away?"

"Master Green's words are right, if the few things you handled in the southern port are indeed inappropriate, many of the market shares that should belong to us have been robbed by those goblins!"

Several dwarf engineers who came later shouted repeatedly, and Toshlei, who was grumpy, was speechless, so he had to slowly put away the guns in his hands, his face was cloudy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's me who is impulsive, and everyone is worried, I'm sorry." ”

Seeing Toshley put away his firearms, everyone around him secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in case of a misfire, Green would be killed, but Green didn't care about Toshley's impulsive move, he patted Toshley's shoulder, and said seriously: "This project, Earl Anduin not only invited us, but also placed an order for those goblins, and I heard that the person who took the order seems to be your old enemy, so this project, let me, the old guy, preside over." ”

"Old enemy? Gazruvi? ”

Toshlei's face changed slightly, and a sharp voice suddenly came from the sky: "Who is calling Ben-sama's name?" ”

Anduin and the others followed the prestige, and saw many mecha coming from the east, either flying in the sky, running on the ground, or directly forcing into the bay mountains and forests, and rushing over with a huge momentum in the silent screams of the big trees, carrying billowing black smoke.

The goblin engineer named Gazruvi, piloting a fierce mecha to take the lead, flew down in front of everyone, this green-skinned little man, fully proved what it means to be a human not to be a person, the mecha he controlled, although full of primitive and wild flavor, but in the key parts of the design is very precise, just comparable to the orc mecha specifications, it has a good melee ability, coupled with the amazing power of long-range weapons, it seems to make it a killing weapon.

Toshrei and Gazruvi are both characters in the World of Warcraft, but the latter's reputation is much greater than the former, and the main city of the orcs was built by Gazruvi, and its strength can be seen, and it is no wonder that Green chose to suppress Toshrei after knowing that Gazruvi would come, although Toshrei is also a leader, but the strength and potential are not comparable to the goblin Gazruvi.

"Who am I, it's Toshley!" The corners of Gazruvi's mouth were slightly hooked, and his attitude was very nonchalant, "Do you also want to participate in the construction of the power plant?" I advise you to put away this thought, with me Gazruvi here, you and these dwarfs are just superfluous goods. ”

As soon as the words came out, many goblins immediately laughed loudly, making Toshley and other dwarf engineers extremely angry, the veteran Green will not be affected by Gazruvi, after a period of contact, he understands very well that everything in Stormwind Town is up to Anduin, he immediately asked: "Marquis Anduin, now that we and the goblins are present, which one are you going to choose?" ”

Anduin did not give an immediate reply, but asked a question first: "If the power plant is entrusted to you, what do you think are the advantages of each?" ”

"Look at our magic mechas, you should know that the technology of our goblins is not comparable to these gnomes!" Ghazruvi, who was arrogant and arrogant, did not call Anduin, but patted his mecha, "What is the most important thing in the power plant?" Of course, it's the power generation! In this regard, gnomes are not comparable to us, this is a well-known thing! ”

Seeing that Gazruvi put forward his biggest reliance straight to the point, Green was not flustered, and in the audience, he was the only one who understood Anduin's future blueprint, so he pointed straight to the fallen trees in the bay mountain forest, and the billowing black smoke in the sky: "I admit that in this regard, our technology is a little worse, but we use clean energy, which can ensure the surrounding environment to the greatest extent and will not be polluted, and what the Marquis of Anduin needs is to supply the daily electricity of Stormwind City in the future, The requirements for power generation efficiency are not high, so your advantage is precisely your biggest disadvantage! ”

Anduin nodded, what Green said was the problem he had considered before, the technology of goblins and gnomes has their own merits, if it is only for the power supply of Stormwind City, it is naturally the first technology of the gnomes, and the reason why he wants to find goblins is actually for future consideration, if you want to supply the development of a city, industry is indispensable, most of the technologies mastered by the system, with the existing industrial base, can not be successfully realized, although Anduin can share some technologies with goblin gnomes, But it is imperative to develop Stormwind's own industrial capacity.

As a result, Anduin was ready to hand over this long-term project to the goblins.

"Both of you are right, I already have my own ideas." Anduin pointed to Stormwind Town, "In the future, Stormwind City will be an unprecedented metropolis, so what I need is not a power station, not just a type of power station, I hope that Mr. Green can lead your companions to build a power station for the daily life of the townspeople as soon as possible, and Mr. Ghazruwe will build a more powerful power station far away from the urban agglomeration." ”

Hearing this, Gazruvi's eyebrows furrowed, he looked at Stormwind Town, which was still under construction, and asked in a deep voice, "Away from the urban gathering area?" I would like to know how you plan the cluster. ”

"According to my vision, with Stormwind Town as the core, the Silver Fortress in the west, the Blackstone Tribe in the east, and the vast area in between, will become the gathering area of Stormwind City, which is an extremely long-term project, so the large-scale power station used for industry does not need to be put into construction immediately, and you have plenty of time to select the site." Anduin painted a blueprint for himself.

However, Gazruvi's face completely changed: "I'm sorry, I don't have enough time to dream with you!" When I received the order, I thought your sincerity was very high, but it turned out that it was just a pipe dream! To the west to the Silver Fortress and to the east to the Blackstone Tribe, why don't you mention Gakison as well? Human beings, even if you talk big, you have to have capital, keep your eyes open, take a good look at your current capital, a small town that can't even see wires, and plans to become an unprecedented metropolis? ”

Gazruwe made no secret of his disdain and meanness: "It's really ridiculous, no matter how big it is, can it be bigger than the former elven main city?" If all humans were as whimsical as you, the orc tribes would have leveled your land long ago! ”
