Ironforge, the main city of the dwarves.

Dwarves have long been humanity's most loyal allies, and they have a special love of battle and storytelling. Well, in fact, there are spirits.

In years gone by, dwarves rarely left fortified castles. However, when the horn of war is sounded, they show unparalleled courage and fighting spirit to defend their friends and allies.

While many of the dwarven fortresses fell in the war, the Ironforge Fort perched atop the snow-capped Danmoro Hill was impregnable and never breached.

A fine example of dwarven masonry, Ironforge was built in the heart of the mountain to form a sprawling underground city where countless artisans, adventurers, miners, and warriors gathered. In King Magni. Under Copperbeard's leadership, the dwarves of Ironforge are working to create a better future.

Dwarves were created by the almighty Creation Titans from stone when the world was still in its cradle stages. As such, they feel that their mission is to search the entire world, looking for more relics about their race's history, as well as the legacy of the Titans.

To this end, the dwarves sent surveyors around the world in the hope of uncovering clues to their mysterious past. They traveled across the continent, leaving behind dwarven excavation sites, some of which became frontier outposts, others as bases for dwarves to defend themselves against enemies.

However, Leo's target at Ironforge is not the Dwarves, but the Dwarven cousins, the Gnomes, who have temporarily lived in Ironforge after the fall of Nomorigen.

While the dwarves in Ironforge are equally skilled in technology and meching, the great and magical ideas are the work of the gnomes, including most of the dwarven weapons and steam vehicles. This shows that when it comes to actual technology, gnomes are much more disadvantageous than dwarves, and many core technologies are in the hands of gnomes.

Of course, if you are looking for someone, you have to find the right master.

Besides, as long as you win over the dwarfs, are you afraid that the dwarves will stand on the opposite side of you?

Speaking of wooing the gnomes, it would naturally be very difficult to do without such a file as Nomorigan, but who made the gnomes homeless now?

There is a good saying, the icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow, and after giving them a little help in this most difficult time for the gnomes, there will definitely be hundreds or thousands of times more gains, not to mention the information related to Nomorigan?

"I've always thought of the dwarf as a unique contradiction, intelligent, vibrant, optimistic, but with a cloudy personality, but in general, you are still an unshakable and powerful race."

Faced with a bald dwarf who was no more than his knees tall, Leo spoke eloquently. The dwarf waved the big wrench in his hand, which was about the same height as him, and said in a very impatient tone: "Human, if you are talking nonsense, please leave immediately, and do not disturb me for a great invention." ”

This bald dwarf is the great craftsman Mekatok, and the current leader of the dwarf clan.

Seeing that Mecatok was starting to chase people, Leo shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and he turned and walked towards the outside of the artisan area that the dwarves had vacated for the gnomes.

"It's really an unfriendly surname, and I originally wanted to ask why there are Black Iron Dwarves in Nomorigan. Forget it, I'll check it myself. ”

As he was walking, a figure suddenly stopped Leo, it was Mecatok. Leo's eyes narrowed slightly, the speed that Mecatok showed at that moment just now was really amazing, it seemed that this dwarf master craftsman was not weak.

"Alright, human, I think we can talk about it now."

Mecatok's face was serious, and the impatient expression he had disappeared from before.

The corners of Leo's mouth drew a slight arc, don't look at Mecatok as if he was focused on invention and didn't care about anything, but the fall of Nomorigen was definitely a heavy blow to him.

Mecatóc was unprepared for the invasion that engulfed the city he loved, and he easily followed the advice of his trusted advisors and hurriedly fought back against the invasion, resulting in many unnecessary casualties. Now, Mecatok is very interested in how to liberate Nomorigen and how to retake the fallen city.

It was a hundred trials and tried-and-true to use Nomorigan's news to appease the great craftsmen, especially since Leo brought a fierce material.

How can there be Black Iron Dwarves in Nomorigan?

This is definitely Mecatok's primary concern.

After briefly recounting what he could say about his trip to Nomorigan, Leo quietly waited for Mecatok's reaction.

"Human, you have very useful news for me, things are going very badly, and the enemies we need to face to reclaim Nomorigen are far more than just stone-palatined monsters. Perhaps, you can do me a little favor. ”

In Mercatók's opinion, Leo was secretly exploring the self-confessed bad news of Nomorigen without using goblins to gain advantage of his friendship, which had already won a good impression in his heart. Then he brought the Mercatok really useful news, and the master craftsman distinguished him a little from the others, and began to ask the tentative to ask him to help.

However, Leo didn't want to waste too much time on the testing of his abilities, so he directly summoned the Mechanical Frost Walker Battlefield and the Mechanical Flame Walker Battlefield and the Spellcaster Buster, all of which were skeleton versions, of course.

"Oh?" Seeing these three things, Mecatok was surprised, and he looked at Leo carefully, "You did all this yourself?" I'm sorry, but I don't mean anything else, it's just that it's so rare for humans to be proficient in engineering. ”

The other party is proficient in engineering, and Mecatok's attitude has changed dramatically, and for the gnomes, the power of technology is as great as magic. Leo's ability to learn engineering as a human made Mecatok add a lot of points to him - in the eyes of the gnomes, the vast majority of humans only know how to practice magic and martial arts, and this race's engineering attainments are really not worth mentioning.

Leo, who had expected this to happen, smiled unhappily: "I think I should be more than a little helper." ”

"Of course!" Mecatok nodded solemnly, Leo is proficient in engineering, so he can go further in Nomorigan, and the more things he can discover, "Tell me, what kind of reward do you need, human?" ”

As the leader of the dwarf clan, Mecatok would not be so naïve as to think that Leo would come to provide information about Nomorigen for no purpose, and help them find out about Nomorigen for free, this is a very real world, there are not so many self-sacrificing well-wishers.

"All it takes is the friendship of the gnomes, that's all."

Leo spoke lightly, but Mecatók listened heavily.

The friendship of the dwarfs may sound like there is no limit, but in fact, if the dwarf clan really pays for their friendship, then the position on many issues has to be deviated. This definitely affects the future of the entire race, as Mecatok knows that behind Leo stands Riptide Castle, and the relationship between Riptide Castle and Stormwind is delicate.

Quietly waiting for Mecatok's answer, Leo was secretly glad that this was a world with gods, and the people of this world valued oaths far more than the society that swore to be a chrysanthemum before the crossing. He didn't worry that Mecatok wouldn't agree, the current gnomes were temporarily living in the dwarves' ironforge to put it mildly, and to put it mildly, they were under the fence, no one wanted to live like this forever, and taking Nomorigen back had always been their first priority.

"Actually, as long as the gnomes remain neutral between Riptide and Stormwind."

Leo spoke out the bottom line of Riptide Castle, the gnomes remained neutral, and the dwarves would be affected by them. Since it is neutral, once Riptide Castle clashes with Stormwind, the latter cannot get help from the gnomes and dwarves. This is definitely a huge problem for Stormwind, as the distance between Alathor and Stormwind is so great. Gnomes and Dwarves are neutral and have a great influence on the Kingdom of Stormwind, but very little on the Kingdom of Aratho.

In this way, Riptide Castle has an advantage.

If it's not a problem just to remain neutral, let's find a way to retake Nomorigen first.

Mecatok made a decision in his heart, and seeing his expression, Leo smiled, and he said to the master craftsman: "So, happy cooperation." ”

"Alright human, we should talk about Nomorigen now."

Mercatok was unwilling to waste time on other things, and the master craftsman, who had a vague guess in his heart, went straight to the point.

Leo made a gesture of please, and he listened.

In fact, he already had a plan before coming to Ironforge, and Nomorigen will definitely continue to explore, whether it is the war fortress that fuses the mountain giants and the group strikers, or the Flintag that fuses the kobold land division and the electric torture weapon, they all have good performance and great potential.

Engaging with the gnomes is to maximize the usefulness of this trip to Nomorigen, and to make this trip easier. After all, the gnomes are the founders of Nomorigen, and they are very familiar with the city's defenses, and with the information they provide, Leo will be more sure of the next action, and can prevent possible dangers in advance.

After discussing for a long time, the result was not what Leo expected, the gnomes sent information, and Leo contributed to explore Nomorigen in depth to figure out why there were black iron dwarves inside.

Having achieved his goal and obtaining the defense map of Nomorligan from Mecatok, Leo left the artisan district where the gnomes were located satisfied.

Although the defense map in his hand only has some value now, and the defense system will definitely be changed beyond recognition after the gnomes recapture Nomorigan, all Leo needs is that it can work now, and as for what will happen to the gnomes after they recapture Nomorigan, Leo has not thought of running there to make trouble.
