The Crown Watchtower is one of many watchtowers in the Eastern Plaguelands, and it can be understood as a smaller garrison fortress. Like the other watchtowers, the Crown Towers were originally built to contain the growth of the Scourge and to open a path from the Chapel of Light's Wish to the outside world.

The white stone tower has been destroyed several times, and the Alliance and Horde have fought for ownership of the watchtower, but it is still standing thanks to the Silver Expeditionary Force's soldiers. In the rust-colored mist, it seems to be a beacon of hope.

Similar to Stormwind's architecture, the Crown Tower is dominated by crisp and simple soft lines, perhaps due to its foodie attributes, and Mochi thinks of white cream cake every time he sees this type of building.

Of course, this illusion for Mochi may have something to do with the fact that the artists in the early version of the game (pre-level 60) liked the post-Gothic architectural style. Not only human architecture, but also many scenes, stories, and music styles have the shadow of the Gothic art style.

The members of the Silver Expeditionary Force came from a variety of races, so the human soldiers stationed at the top of the tower did not take a hostile posture when they saw the combination of blood elves and undead outsiders. After the group of wind riders landed, the soldiers guarding the tower only routinely asked about the identities of the group, the purpose of coming here, and how long they would stay.

"My name is Gareth-Firewing, and I belong to the Bloodhawk Guards of the Chanting Forest. These were all friends of Captain Eldur Scarred, and Eldo had assigned him to escort them with Sherion Dawnrose and I. Gareth carefully concocted the wording, revealing not the slightest information about the search for the princess and the regent's warrant.

The guard repeated Gareth's last name, seemingly confused.

As Sherion told Mochi, the surname Firewing does not mean honorable. The Firewing family's allegiance to Illidan is well known, and the Blood Elves with the Firewing surname are generally the leaders of the Firewing Force. However, the guard looked at the badge on Gareth's chest, which was clearly a golden-headed and bloody Blood Eagle insignia, and he didn't seem to have any reason to be suspicious.

But the two fish-man companions around him were a little unusual.

"Are these two fish-man druids?" The guard asked, pointing at Mochi and Anvina.

Seeing that Gareth didn't know how to explain, Anwena could only hurriedly reply: "We are from the Evil Fin Clan, my name is Anvina, and this is Mr. Mochi. We've known Aldur Scar for years. ”

"O my holy light!"

Hearing Anvena speak, the guard's wooden book fell to the ground.

Mochi helped the guard pick up the veneer, and the guard thanked him, "Ah, thank you! Forgive me for my faux pas. It's just that you know that you have been stationed here for many years, and you have limited means of obtaining information from the outside world. I can't imagine that now that the fish-people can speak, have the tribes and alliances discovered new continents again? Fish-Man Leah? Or is it a new planet, Ranor the Fish-Man? You must have come from that kind of place. ”

Anvina and Mochi were a little crying and laughing.

"Our leader, Karin Redpass, is inside, and believe me, he'll be glad to meet you outsiders." The guard pointed to the inside of the watchtower and said enthusiastically.

Gareth nodded at Shellynn, indicating that he should go and meet the head of the watchtower. Whether it's shopping for food or finding a place to stay, they need to say hello to the top of the place in advance.

The group had just stepped on the steps, only to hear the guard continue to ask—

"You fishmen also have factions. Fire Gold Sect and Earth Water Sect? Did you follow Illidan? You can turn into demons, right? ”

Mochi was utterly speechless at the imaginative guard.

Mochi had just shaken off the guards and stepped up to the top of the stairs when a slightly immature female voice stopped them.

"You're back so soon? Found what I was looking for? ”

Mochi turned his head, and the person waving to them was a female gnome with pale pink hair. Wearing a set of brass-colored mage robes, close to the proportions of the two-headed body, this female dwarf looks more like a Q version of a human female mage, and she looks very cute.

It is worth mentioning that gnomes and dwarves are completely different races in the game. Historically, dwarves are a race that appears after being cursed by the earth spirits, while gnomes are a race that appears after being cursed by the flesh and blood of mechanical gnomes. In terms of appearance, dwarves are generally fierce, and both men and women, young and old, look brave and unscrupulous. The gnome, on the other hand, looks much younger, with a carefree smile on his face forever.

The dwarf who shouted to Mo Qi and the others is a very cute woman, and in terms of normal human aesthetics, she is also a cute thing with a big head.

It's a pity that this guy is not a serious dwarf at all, this female dwarf named [Chromie] is a real dragon.

Hearing Chromie's questioning upside down, Mochi knew that this guy was probably confusing the future with the present. As a member of the Bronze Dragon Clan, Chromie has a very powerful ability to travel between time and space, and can freely travel between different timelines.

Seeing that Moqi and the others were at a loss, Chromie also realized his mistake, "Ahoo! Looks like you haven't spoken to Karin Redpass yet...... Then wait until you have spoken, and then come back to me. ”

This upside-down style is really very Kromie's style.

"Since you've said it all, Mr. Kronom, why don't you tell us the follow-up mission requirements now?" Mochi deliberately refers to Chromome, the very "masculine" dragon name, by his name.

And Chromie reacted to Mochi's words. As Mochi thought, as one of the oldest races on the planet, Chromie could understand Mochi's fish-man language. (Ever feel like fishmen and dragons are like the two extremes of Azeroth's creation?) This is commonly known as "weak attack and strong acceptance". ）

"No, any disruption of the timeline is not allowed!" Chromie refused, "Wait, what did you just call me, Mr. Crome?" Kronum is the standard feminine name! It seems that you don't know anything about the complexity of dragon culture! ”

Seeing Chromie's cheeks bulging like the two buns on his head, a refreshing feeling arose.

"Mr. Mochi, do you know her?" Anvina asked curiously.

"Oh, Avena, you're there too, and I'm so happy to see you and Mochi still together." Upon seeing Anvina, Chromie said.

"Thank you......" Avena instinctively said thank you, but what was she thanking for? She didn't know it herself. Chromie's words left her completely scratching her head.

"Your Highness Princess, let's go meet Karin Redpass first. Greeting friends can be done later. Gareth urged.

Anwena said to herself, I don't know this dwarf at all! However, she couldn't argue with Gareth anymore, so she could only nod her head and walk into the tower.
