Forge Hall.

When Claudia walked up to Azadas, the Guardian was still staring at the Eye of Safron and the Eye of Sargeras.

Azadas, noticing Claudia's arrival, pointed to the armor on the other table, and said, "I've repaired your armor for you, Friggia." ”

Claudia picked up the armor and inspected it, the original damaged part had been repaired by Azadas, and after confirming that there was no problem, she looked at Azadas and asked with concern, "What, it's not going well?" ”

"Yes, repairing a Pillar of Creation is far more complicated than I thought, and I lack the right tools. ”

"Tools?"

"Well, it would be nice if the Hammer of Kazgros was here, but alas, it's been a few years since the artifact was missing."

The Hammer of Kazgros is the Pillar of Creation left by the Titan Kazgros and has extremely powerful power, and Azadas, as the guardian who inherited the power of Kazgros, once held the Hammer of Kazgros, but later, this Pillar of Creation was lost.

After questioning, Claudia silently remembered the apparent power of the Kazgros Hammer, and planned to ask Harrison and other archaeologists about it.

Harrison and the others don't know anything about it, but Claudia learns of the whereabouts of the Hammer of Kazgros soon after, from Egwen.

According to Egwen, the Pillar of Creation was used by the High Elves to seal the Burning Legion portal in Sulama 10,000 years ago, and later she used some of the power of the Hammer of Kazgros to seal the body of the Sargeras clone, and now the Hammer of Kazgros should be in the hands of the Minotaur clan of the Supreme High Ridge of the Broken Isles, and it is in the hands of the Grand Patriarch of the Supreme High Ridge.

After learning of the whereabouts of the Hammer of Kazgros, Claudia and Azadas made the decision to reclaim the Hammer of Kazgros.

According to the coordinates provided by Egwen, after everything was arranged, the next day, Claudia, Azadas, and the Holy Maiden of Chastity, the three guardians, teleported to the Supreme Ridge.

Outside the Thunder Totem, Azadas spoke, "I sensed that the mortal was right, the hammer of Kazgros is around here. ”

Claudia said, "In that case, let me negotiate with the Minotaur and try to settle it peacefully." ”

"Okay, call me if you need to." Azadas nodded, he had always disliked dealing with mortals, and it would be better to leave it to Claudia.

The tall rocky bodies and coercion of Azadas and the Chaste Saint caught the attention of the Minotaur guards, who quickly reported to the current Grand Chief, Ulan Kaolin, who soon appeared before the three Guardians.

"Who are you, and what is the purpose of going to the Gaoling Clan?" Ulan asked.

Claudia stepped forward and said, "This Great Chief, we are the Guardians, the beings entrusted by the Creator to manage the order of this world, and we are here to recover an artifact left by the Creator, the Hammer of Kazgros. ”

Hearing that the person was asking for the Holy Hammer, the surrounding minotaurs were in an uproar, clenching their weapons and showing hostility.

Ulan was a little cautious, but he was also unpleasant: "I don't know what a guardian is, but our clan has been in charge of the Holy Hammer for tens of thousands of years, how can there be a reason to give up the ancient Holy Hammer just by your words." ”

Claudia explained: "The hammer of Kazgros was originally an artifact left by the Titans to our guardians to restore order, and it belonged to the giant not far behind me, this is not my nonsense, you can go to the Holy Hammer, it will naturally tell you who is its owner." ”

"And—" Claudia paused slightly, "we are not taking the Hammer for nothing, we can give you food, weapons, armor, gold, jewels, and even the blessing of the Guardian as a reward for keeping the Hammer for 10,000 years." ”

The Minotaur has a Wenger temperament, likes peace, and usually does not want to clash with others, and the same is true for Ulan, who is the Great Chief, and the coercion on the two giants is not a joke, and once a conflict breaks out, he does not know how many Minotaurs will be killed and injured, which makes him have to be cautious.

"Outsider, this artifact is very important, and I need to discuss it with the elders before I can make a decision."

Claudia nodded, "No problem, I understand, but please as soon as possible." ”

Ulan agreed, and he immediately went to the Ancestral Hall to contact the Holy Hammer, and sent someone to invite his most trusted elder--- Soul Walker Black Horn to come over.

Ulan told Blackhorn what had just happened, and finally said, "The Holy Hammer is very happy, those outsiders' claims are likely to be true, what should I do, Blackhorn?" ”

Ulan gave Blackhorn an inquiring look, an elder who had faithfully assisted generations of the Kaolin clan for thousands of years, and was his most trusted companion and mentor.

Blackhorn listened quietly to what Ulan said, and he said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, our world was indeed originally managed by the Titans entrusted to the Guardians, and the performance of the Holy Hammer also proves the truth of their words, we can give the Holy Hammer to them in exchange for some of the supplies we need, as well as the blessings of the Guardians." ”

"But......" Ulan was still a little unwilling.

"Ulan, according to the ancient prophecy of our clan, this holy hammer was originally intended for outsiders, and this is a fate that we are destined to be irresistible. ”

After being persuaded by Blackhorn, Ulan finally agreed, and the two minotaurs decided to send someone to invite Claudia to the chief's hall to discuss the next steps.

But what she didn't expect was that as soon as Claudia appeared in front of the two minotaurs, before she could speak, her eyes suddenly turned silver, and she directly pulled out the sdomka, teleported, and finally slashed at the black horn.

Claudia's three actions were done in one go, and the way of the surprise attack was even more unexpected by all the minotaurs, so that Blackhorn's hand had just been halfway raised, and when Ulan was still in a daze, Claudia's sword had already reached Blackhorn's neck.

"What are you doing, outsider!" Ulan yelled, drawing his spear and looking at Claudia with fear, "We've decided to give the hammer to you, let go of my elders." ”

Claudia's eyes softened a little when she heard this, and she said apologetically: "I'm really sorry to do it rashly, Great Chief, but you may not know it, his true identity is actually an adult black dragon, which is very dangerous." ”

To Claudia's surprise, Ulan didn't show surprise or fear, but defended Blackhorn: "There must be a misunderstanding, Guardian, Blackhorn is different from other black dragons, he has not been corrupted, he has served our tribe for tens of thousands of years." ”

An uncorrupted adult black dragon?

Claudia's eyes shot a fierce silver light when she heard this, and after carefully scanning the body of the black horn, she found that the black horn did not have the breath of Enzos on the body, which made her feel a little more relaxed, but her sword was still on the neck of the black horn, and asked, "Please tell me more about what is going on." ”

"My name is Ibcien, son of Deathwing......"

Under the narration of Noire and Ulan, Claudia finds out the origin of Noire Corner.

10,000 years ago, Huon Kaolin, the ancestor of the Kaolin clan, learned that Deathwing was still alive and raided Deathwing's lair, where he obtained the Hammer of Kazgros and defeated Deathwing with the power of the hammer.

After driving Deathwing away, he found a batch of black dragon eggs and hatchlings in his lair, one of which had not been corrupted.

Huon adopted the baby dragon and treated him like family, naming him Black Horn.

After Hunn's death, Black Horn repaid his kindness by vowing eternal allegiance to Hunn's bloodline to this day.

Claudia put away her sword, but to be on the safe side, she called Azadas to help with a second confirmation, and only after Azadas confirmed that it was okay, she put her mind at ease with the black dragon.

Although Claudia hated the Black Dragon, she also firmly believed that race did not represent good and evil, and the Black Horn should have nothing to do with the evil deeds of the Black Dragon Legion, so she did not continue to embarrass the Black Horn.

She chatted with the black dragon and the minotaur.

The Great Chief of Ulan has agreed to sell the Holy Hammer, but according to the rules, he still needs to say hello to the other tribal chiefs, especially the King of the Underworld, Dagul, who was discovered by the ancestors of Ulan and Dagul.

Later that day, at the Tribal Chieftains' Congress, Claudia met the King of the Underground, who was not a minotaur, but a tribe known as Dragobar, a caveman-like creature who had been enslaved by Deathwing, and it was Hunn's raid on Deathwing that freed the tribe.

The chiefs of the other tribes were all Minotaurs, and they had no objection to Ulan's decision to sell the Holy Hammer, after all, the Holy Hammer had been kept by the Gaoling tribe for generations, and it had nothing to do with them, and it was very cost-effective for them to be able to exchange some food and supplies for their clan.

But it was different when it came to Dagul, who was extremely angry.

Drogbal had always considered themselves the sons of the earth, and in Dagul's view, their ancestors had given up the hammer to thank Horn for freeing their people. However, this time, the Great Patriarch actually wanted to give up the Holy Hammer to outsiders, which was unacceptable to Dagul.

In a fit of rage, he even attacked Ulan on the spot, trying to snatch the Holy Hammer, and if it weren't for Claudia's presence, Ulan would have been killed on the spot.

Although Dagul's strength is much stronger than that of several Minotaur chieftains, he is naturally not Claudia's opponent, not to mention that there are other Minotaurs to help.

After a fight, Dagul was subdued and imprisoned, and Claudia healed Ulan's injuries.

The Kaolin tribe had no doubts about the transfer of the Holy Hammer, and the Hammer of Kazgros returned to the hands of Azadas, who was in a good mood when he returned to the control of the artifact, and blessed the Guardian of the Earth to Ulan Shi on the spot as agreed.

Before teleporting back to Stormwind, Claudia told Blackhorn about something.

"My ally, Alekstasa the Lifebinder, is looking for the uncorrupted Black Dragon Eggs, and she wants to rebuild an uncorrupted army of Black Dragons, and as the son of Deathwing, you are fully qualified to be the next King of the Black Dragons, inheriting the power bestowed upon the Black Dragons by the Creator."

"Guardian, please give me some more time to think about and take care of this side before making a decision."

"Okay, please go to the Hall of Order in Stormwind City within half a year and tell me your decision."

"I will," Blackhorn nodded, handing over a scale, "If you need to find me, you can contact me through this scale." ”

Claudia took the scales and put them away, and turned away with Azadas.
