After listening to Cisco's words, Gerbin's heart was cold, he really didn't expect that the classmate who graduated from Gear Shaft University at the same time as him, and his partner for so many years, not only wanted to kill him, but also killed so many innocent dwarfs in order to kill him.

"Cisco, I don't understand, why piggyback on other gnomes if you've had too many chances to kill me over the years? Do you know how many gnomes there are in these towns? ”

"About thirty percent of all our gnomes, twenty thousand or thirty thousand?" Cisco said disapprerovingly, and then sneered softly:

"I could have killed you a long time ago, but that's too cheap for you, I'm going to stink you and make you a target!"

"Think about the consequences of this bomb exploding in your research institute, all the gnomes will think that you caused an accident while researching the bomb, I really can't wait to see the other gnomes' expressions when they learn about this!"

Gerbin felt even more chill in his heart, and continued to ask, "But what does this have to do with killing the other gnomes?" Do you think that if they die, the other gnomes will vote for you? ”

Cisco's excited voice came from the loudspeaker: "Of course it matters!" You must know that I know this poisonous gas very well, and I have already figured out how to purify the polluted city, and when the other gnomes are helpless, I can become a new master craftsman by virtue of the merit of recovering the polluted city! ”

Gerbin glanced at the horn with a little sadness, and asserted, "There won't be any gnomes voting for you, Cisco!" Hurting your compatriots for your own selfish interests, you are not a dwarf at all......"

"I think you're a little unconscious when you're dying, Gerbin!" Cisco interrupted Gerbin with another sneer, and the words of the master craftsman just now clearly angered him, and he continued in a hurried tone:

"You say I'm not a dwarf? I'm a dwarf ten times stronger than you! While you're having a good time with your inaccurate 'talent', people like me have to work hard to gain recognition. Who spent so many weeks doing the ballistic design for your siege tank? I've turned your bulky lump of iron into a mobile turret! That thing cemented our covenant with the dwarves, and I received even the slightest bit of gratitude?"

Gerbin sighed: "Cisco, you used to be one of the smartest gnomes in Danmoro, and you seem to have forgotten, I never hesitated to thank you, you have a lot of quite creative, even genius ideas, but you have always been too careless, many times you make assertions based on vague estimates, and maintenance and improvement are also sloppy." I sent you to design the cannon in the hope that you would grow a little bit with this task, but the trajectory you calculated would cause my siege tank to explode while reloading! It took me hours to redo your part before sending them to Ironforge. ”

"What? Lies! If I really did that much water, then why do you say I designed the cannon?"

"Because," said Gerbin, "you are my friend." ”

"What...... How could it be...... The ...... of the plan" The voice on the other side of the horn was lowered, followed by the sound of the control buttons tapping one after another, and finally a bitter voice: "I admit it...... Final design drawing...... It's true that you changed it. ”

There was a brief silence in the room.

Gerbin had a glimmer of hope in his heart, trying to make his friend change his mind: "Cisco, we are partners, but also friends, friends should help each other, over the years, after your design is completed, I will often help you improve some omissions, and many of your ideas will also inspire me, remember when you just graduated, you gave me this pair of glasses ......." ”

As Gerbin narrates, Cisco's expression softened several times outside the city, as if he had changed back to the young and energetic young man he had been, the former partner of Gerbin, the dwarf who had graduated with his help, and it was Gerbin who had let his friend into his foundry, and promoted him to a prominent position in the craftsman's court after he became a master craftsman, even though he had been troubled and made mistakes......

Finally, Cisco's slightly annoyed voice came from the other side of the speaker: "I'm sorry, Gerbin, I'...... I ......"

Gerbin also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Don't worry about what hasn't happened today, Cisco, although you can't keep your position in the craftsman's court, I will give you amnesty, we are still partners, you can still design what you like in my research institute." ”

To the great craftsman's surprise, Cisco's voice across the horn became sarcastic again: "Amnesty? Haha, your senseless weakness is the reason why I decided to replace you. The true mission of the gnomes is to dominate the continent with our indestructible weapons, not to sell them to imbecile allies. That's what goblins do!"

"You're wrong, Cisco," the master craftsman shook his head, "We gnomes are different from goblins because we gnomes are united and loyal. There has never been a dwarf technician in the world who fights alone, from the beginning of school we have to choose each other's partners, learn to cooperate, learn to make up for each other's shortcomings, just as you have a genius of creativity and I have a meticulous observation of the subtleties, the combination of the two of us becomes strong. ”

"Our attitude towards our allies is also unity and loyalty, humans and dwarves are the brains and weapons that need our gnomes, and we gnomes need the protection of humans and dwarves, our people are too small in number, and the fertility rate is too low, without humans and dwarves, we can't even survive this invasion of stone palatins! Only unity can make our lives better! ”

"As for the idea of dominating the continent with technology, you said?" Speaking of this, Gerbin seemed to hear something extremely funny: "Let's not say that most of our dwarfs are not interested in power, do you really think that our technology is invincible in the world?" Not to mention our old rival goblins, even Dalaran's Arcane Technology is much stronger than ours! ”

"Nonsense!" Cisco was furious, "Forget about the goblins, those wizards are just tricks, they don't even have their own city anymore!" ”

"Speaking of cities, I don't think you know that Kenrito is building a floating city, not an airship, not an airplane, but a city that can fly and teleport!" Gerbin recalled a message from a dwarf mage and continued, "This new floating city has even appeared in any corner of Azeroth in an instant, and some of the mages' artifacts can destroy the entire Nomorigen with a single blow. ”

"Cisco, give up your crazy ideas, it's still too late."

"Give up?" Cisco sneered, "You want me to give up based on a few words that I don't know if it's true or not?" Looks like you've forgotten your situation! Forget it, enough time wasted today, goodbye, partner!"

There was a heavy sound of buttons on the other side of the horn, but the bomb only moved slightly, and then the other side of the horn was a little incredulous, and the sound of hitting the button was heard again.

Gerbin took advantage of this time to pick up another communicator in another room, and sure enough, as he expected, this communicator was also destroyed in a very covert way, Cisco knew a lot of things about him, but he also knew something that Cisco didn't understand, such as now, the sound of crazy buttons began to be heard from the horn.

"Don't bother, Cisco!" Gerbin said coldly, "You don't even have a sloppy design of a gun barrel and you need me to help you rework it privately, do you really think that I won't add some safety measures to the design of such a dangerous bomb?" See you soon, my dear partner! ”

"No---! Listen, we can ......" Cisco's frightened voice came from the other side of the horn, and Gerbin didn't have time to pay attention to Cisco's performance, he picked up the bomb and quickly ran outside the institute, and in a few minutes he found a team of guards......

That night, Cisco Sema Prager finally didn't get caught, he put on a test steam armor and tried to resist, but after destroying several automatic strike robots, he was caught by a dwarf soldier and successfully used a brainwashing gun to arrest Cisco, and that night Cisco confessed to all his crimes in a brainwashed state, including his attempt to frame the front-line soldiers and the two kings in yesterday's war, and the severity of his crimes shocked all the gnomes.

The next day, Gerbin personally went to the embassy district to apologize and explain the Cisco matter with a shameful face, saying that he would give the allies enough compensation and deal with Cisco seriously.

Magni naturally said that he didn't care, the dwarves have always been like this, and they never counted too much about the good brothers they identified, and seeing the dwarves like this, Varian didn't pursue it.

Later that day, when Varian and Claudia got along in private, they talked about Cisco, but neither Varian nor Claudia cared too much about the bomb that didn't explode, after all, according to Gerbin, the main lethality of the bomb was the gas particles, so even Claudia, who had seen it in her previous life, felt that the power of the bomb was a bit exaggerated.

After all, although poison gas is very harmful to civilians, it has a mediocre effect on professionals, even the weakest resistance of professional fighters can hold their breath for a long time, like Claudia has a variety of ways to deal with it, for example, she can create enough holy light shields for all human dwarven soldiers to isolate the outside air, and it is not a problem to support them to get out of Nomorigen for several hours.

However, this incident also gave Varian a full understanding of some of the power of gnome technology: "I think I underestimated the gnomes before, and I thought they couldn't even deal with the stone palatin, I really didn't expect the gnomes to be able to build such a powerful bomb." ”

"Compared to bombs, I think the civilian technology of the gnomes is better, and some can be brought to Stormwind, after all, the civilians of Stormwind City can't afford magic items."

"Hmm," Varian nodded, then turned to "Speaking of Stormwind, we should be back in two days." ”

"I see, Varian," Claudia laughed, showing Varian her mechanical squirrel, "I've brought a lot of gifts for Anduin this time. ”
