Chapter Seventy-Nine: The King's Gift
This hilly woodland, about thirty kilometers northwest of the royal city of Lordaeron, is technically the domain of the Agamande family of the kingdom of Lordaeron. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAt this moment, the group of griffons cruising back and forth in the sky, as well as the dwarven guards guarding outside the camp, all indicate that the entire dwarven camp has been completely under martial law!
"How's it going on Uncle Vandall's? Is there enough manpower? Who are they? Oss asked Fink. Because Fink Enkhor traveled north with Vandal Thunderspear, they were separated only after arriving in the kingdom of Alterac.
Fink replied quickly, "General Vandal and the elite warriors of the Thunderspear Clan are guarding all the way, and safety is not a problem. The specific search personnel were completed by the Explorers Association, and the veteran explorer President McGrath and Vice President Tabers personally led the team, and this time they both came. But ......"
"What's wrong?" Oss was afraid that something had happened, so he hurriedly asked.
"Nothing, king." Fink paused, shifted his gaze to Muradin, and said, "Brother Muradin, your brother is also with you. ”
"Ahem!" Muradin happened to be drinking, and he was immediately choked when he heard the words, but there was no doubt that he was talking about business at this time, and taking a sip of wine was just a moisturizing throat for the dwarf, "Hiccup...... Brian? At this time, Daddy will let him out of the Iron Furnace? What a novelty! ”
"Brian said that he was going to serve the king, and His Majesty Madolan had no reason to stop it." Although Fink is a dwarf, the dwarf and the dwarf are not separated, and he is also a member of the inner circle of the dwarf kingdom, so he naturally knows these things very well.
Muradin slapped his head hard and said happily to Os: "Hey, this kid has been brilliant since he was a child, and he really knows how to find a reason!" The King of the Mountains is above, where can Uncle McGrath use him to help, I really hope he is not going to cause trouble! ”
Oss smiled and said nothing. He had known him three hundred years ago, Uncle McGrath, who was already a veteran explorer, and Tabhas, who was from the Thunderspear Clan, knew him as well. However, if it is confidence, then Aos must have more confidence in Muladin's own brother, Brian Copperbeard!
"Fink, what do you think of the deal with Queldore?" Oss asked Fink again.
Fink looked excited, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, got up from his seat, and replied earnestly, "Exciting deal, King!" For more than 100 years, the deal with Prince Tosedlin had caused the Brotherhood to almost empty the city's treasures. Over the years, he had run out of anything of value to pay for mana crystals and ocean shipping. ”
"Alas...... Even Quirsera is willing to trade it, and the situation can be imagined. Oss sighed and asked instead, "Have you brought all the magic crystals that were given to the Flame Blade Magister Regiment?" Where do these magic crystals come from? ”
"The trading volume has declined over the years, and I have already accumulated some of it, so this time I not only brought the amount of gifts, but also prepared another batch. I plan to take advantage of the opportunity to go to Silvermoon City to negotiate and directly complete the first transaction. After Fink finished reporting the plan, he excitedly introduced, "At the beginning, the magic crystals relied on our own magicians to inject magic into the crystals; Later, in Azhara on the continent of Kalimdor, the Brotherhood discovered a vein of natural magic crystals; There is also the home of the Black Iron Brothers, the gap in the fire elemental plane, after exploration, a random stone knocked down there contains energy! It's just that it was too dangerous, and I almost died there, so I had to be very careful to ship it out, and the production was limited! In the future, when the business grows, there will be druids who hire some Terran magicians and night elves to work for us! ”
Oss listened with great interest, and finally his eyes lit up: "Druid? Will they be hired as well? But no, at this point in time, the druids should still be asleep, Fink? ”
Fink gave Oss a thumbs up and praised him heartily, "King, you are still so omniscient! It took decades for the Brotherhood to learn of the existence of the Druids and their current situation! As for the druid who was hired by the Brotherhood, it was actually ...... Well, it's hard to say. ”
"What's wrong?"
Fink looked around as if he were a thief, and then approached Oss and said cautiously, "This is a big secret, he is a druid who was banished by the Night Elf Kingdom!" Blessed by the King of the Mountain, if the news leaks and lets the Night Elves know that we take him in, uh...... The result is unbelievable! ”
"Banished? Is he in the Eastern Kingdom? ”
"No, he doesn't want to go too far from Mount Hyjal, so he can be regarded as living in seclusion there."
Oss nodded, temporarily suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and finally said: "Fink, come with me to meet the elven prince of Queldore early tomorrow morning, after a few days' journey, you will have to run to Quel'Thalas, go and rest first." ”
"Yes, King." Fink replied with a grin. But he didn't leave directly, but opened his arms.
Oss agreed, got down on one knee, and hugged Fink heavily. After hugging, Fink seemed to be about to cry, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said with a slight choked voice: "I really didn't expect time to pass so long all of a sudden!" I've said it once, but I'd like to say that it's really really exciting to see you again! ”
"Me too, Fink, and it's a thrill to see you all again!" Oss hugged the little dwarf again, and his emotions were a little sad, "I can't wait to end this war, go home and see ......"
Muradin's sudden cry shouted, "To go home!" ”
"To get home!"
"To get home!"
"To get home!"
After the commotion, Oss asked his eldest brother Muradin, about teaching the prince of Arthas, and if he had any useful news. And to Oss's surprise, he didn't have any expectations, but the eldest brother really heard the news!
"Big brother, you said that the elven reinforcements have arrived quietly!?" Oss had not received the slightest bit of information, including from the Church of Light, as to whether or not Tirio Fording had returned.
"Little Arthas told me that the elven mages have teleported directly to the mage area in the city of Lordaeron. Judging from what you said earlier, it should be that the elven rangers didn't come with the mages," Muradin analyzed, touched his beard and said, "Speaking of which, the portal is really convenient, after I go back this time, I have to propose to the dads to open several stable portals between Ironforge, Grimbaatar, and Darkforge." However, we dwarves are not good at this magic, so we have to borrow some magicians from that Dalaran for help after the alliance comes true. ”
"Indeed, the convenience of the portal is unparalleled, especially now that it is still wartime, and its importance cannot be overstated." Oss agreed very much, but Gianna's shadow suddenly appeared in his heart, and he hurriedly shook his head and changed the subject, "What do you think of Arthas?" ”
"Very nice! Very talented! Swordsmanship is very fast! But he's so polite and humble, I don't like such a child, he doesn't have any energy at all. "Muradin's assessment of Alsace is entirely based on the dwarven style.
On the side, Kudran suddenly said coldly: "Oss used to be like this, polite. We went to Aunt Lei Jiu's house for dinner, and the most he said was thank you; We went to Uncle Forg's house to buy equipment, and he said the most words, thank you. ”
Oshaha laughed, and then said solemnly to Kudran: "Thank you for the compliment, second brother! Thank you! ”
"Hahaha!"
"Haha!"
After the business is over, the alert is removed. Oss then said the last thing: "Big brother, second brother, do you have any ore with you?" ”
"Yes." Muradin replied.
"Do you want to build something, Os?" Kudran asked.
"Yes, I need your help to forge me a pair of one-handed swords as a gift from the king."
Muradin said with some embarrassment: "That's troublesome, I don't have too good materials here, at most only real silver ore is more valuable." ”
Kudran spread his hands and said, "I'm even better, iron ore, copper ore, and some scraps. ”
Oss nodded, but before he could speak, Gothrum suddenly raised his hand and reported, "I have Mithril here!" ”
"Hah!" Muradin jumped up from his seat, took off his shirt three times and divided by two, revealing a thick and strong muscle, and clapped his slap and shouted, "That's enough, there is Mithril, there is no shame in taking it out!" Second brother, you come to give me a fire! Little brother, do you have any requirements for this sword? ”
"Slash with your right hand! Left-handed weight and light! ”
"Okay!"
Stabilize the iron felt, prepare the hammer, and with the famous fire-controlling Kudran Brute Hammer in hand, there is no need to use mortal fire to melt the material. Then, Muradin turned his arms into stone statues, although he was not as skilled as his eldest brother Magni in blacksmithing, but now he is not building an artifact, so there is no need to discuss it at all, let alone any blueprints. After he grabbed the hammer, he directly waved his right arm, "Bang! Syllable! Syllable! "The ground hammered violently!
This process lasted only about three minutes, and the shape of the two one-handed swords was initially hammered out. Then, in the unbelievable gaze of Os, the eldest brother Muradin directly used his hands in the form of stone statues, with the power of the mountains, to fabricate the specific outline of the sword body!
For the first time, Oss knew that sword casting could be so violent, without a stove or a blower, and the second brother Kudran could do it with both hands. A lone iron felt, and a war hammer, the eldest brother Muradin also does not need other tools, because there are no tools that can be more agile and handy than his own hands!
Soon, two one-handed swords with similar shapes, but not identical, were almost completed. Just as Muradin was about to take the final step, quenching, Oss raised his hand to stop the eldest brother.
"What's wrong, little brother?" Muradin didn't even sweat, just a pair of swords, which was really trivial. And Kudran's ability to control fire is even more skillful, and it will not let the temperature of the flame spread at all.
"Big brother, before quenching, I'm going to do an experiment, it's about the active flame you told me."
After Muradin and Kudran looked at each other, Kudran asked, "But there are no active flames here, Os, even if the flames I control have surpassed ordinary fires, they are still not counted." ”
"I know, but I want to try......" Oss drew his sword, and the holy light surged and illuminated his face, "My blood! ”
"What!?"
"What!?"
Muradin and Kudran were dumbfounded and shouted in unison!
