"Wait a minute, my king, I believe that someone will come out to greet me soon." Darth Rema immediately returned to explain everything to Moonshadow, who nodded; In these respects, Darth Rema's work has been done beautifully. Darth Rema then frowned and continued, "My king, you should have told me in advance, your visit to Ironforge is already a foreign affair between the two countries; It would be rude to go to many places like this. ”

"You're right, it was my mistake this time; I came directly on a whim, but the matter has come to this point, and you have to worry more about other aspects. Moon Shadow nodded, appreciating Darth Rema's outspokenness. This matter is a matter of a country's face, and he did handle it inappropriately.

"Your Majesty, why do you say this, my existence is to serve you, why talk about trouble; Just be careful next time, for such things can damage your majesty. Darth Rema shook his head, saluting Moon Shadow as a sign of his loyalty. There was a commotion at the door of the Ironforge Castle during the conversation, and from time to time someone did go out to greet him, and it was the leader of the Copperbeard Dwarves who had come not long ago, and the king of the dwarves, and he had come out with some of his attendants; Although it was abrupt, it was a necessary etiquette for Moon Shadow to greet him personally as the King of Kadore.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the Elf King to suddenly come, did he send us wine?" Copperbeard laughed and made a humorous joke, in fact, the dwarves didn't care much about some of the diplomatic etiquette that Darth Rema said just now.

"Sorry for the sudden visit; It's a bit abrupt. I need the help of the dwarves this time. Moon Shadow smiled and saluted, and went up to talk to the Copperbeard Patriarch.

"Where, for us dwarves, we have fought together as friends; This one next to you is extremely brave on the battlefield, and I admire him very much. The Copperbeard Patriarch laughed as he spoke, and the Copperbeard Dwarves were very upright; Between the words, it could indeed be seen that he really didn't care, and looking at his expression, Moon Shadow was naturally a lot more relieved. Looking around left and right, the Copperbeard Patriarch stretched out his hand to invite: "Let's go in and talk, the cold wind in Kazmodan is still relatively cold, and last time you invited me to drink the wine of the elf clan." Today I invite you to drink the fiery wine of our dwarves themselves. ”

"Please." Moon Shadow made a gesture of please, and the two walked side by side into Ironforge. After entering the door, Moon Shadow looked around, although Moon Shadow had seen all kinds of buildings, but the structure of the Iron Forge, he was still very surprised; Many places are similar to the relics left behind by the Northrend Titans, but they are also different. Along the way, the Copperbeard Patriarch carefully introduced Ironforge to Moonshadow, and his pride and pride in the city could be clearly seen on his face.

After walking some distance, a fiery breath began to rush towards him; Moon Shadow turned her head slightly to look at the past. With the movement of the Moon Shadow. The Copperbeard Patriarch began to explain, "Ahead is the great forging furnace of our dwarf race, which is very spectacular. Directly use the magma in the center of the earth as the fire source to forge the best weapons and equipment; It is the characteristic of this iron forge, our pride. ”

"Well, I've heard that your dwarven blacksmithing skills are indeed the best in Azeroth; That's what I'm here for. As he spoke, everyone reached the side of the Great Forge, and Moon Shadow also said what he meant. He had been to Grimbaatar, where there was also a lava flow and even more spectacular than this great forge; So the great forge of Ironforge didn't surprise him too much.

"Oh, if you want to say that the art of forging is wrapped up in me; What weapon do you want? "The Copperbeard Dwarven Patriarch heard that Moon Shadow came to forge weapons. inner vanity and great satisfaction; Hurriedly patted his chest and agreed.

"I want to reforge a sword, the sword that accompanied me in the War of the Ancients to slay countless demons; But then I lost it in an accident. Later I got some good quality materials; It's just that our Cadore's forging skills, although good, are not the best, and we will waste that material; So I thought of asking you to help. Moon Shadow said as she took out two pieces of metal shrouded in patterns and handed them to the Copperbeard Patriarch.

"This is" Copperbeard Patriarch's eyes lit up the moment he got the metal ingot, like a pervert who saw a beautiful woman. He gently stroked the metal block as if he was afraid that it would break at once: "This is the Titan Divine Iron, and there are several equal high-quality metals, I never thought that I would ever see this kind of magical material used to forge magic in my lifetime." ”

"Here's the blueprint, two metal ingots in one to help me forge my weapon. the other is your reward. Moon Shadow smiled and took out a piece of parchment and handed it to the Copperbeard Patriarch, who nodded and began to look through it. Moon Shadow continued, "You're in charge of the blade. I'll do the later enchantments and inscriptions myself. I think we're going to forge an artifact together. ”

"Hmm." The Bronze Whisker Patriarch nodded after reading it, but looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be satisfied with Lei Yuan's design. Touching his beard, he thought about it, and the Copperbeard Patriarch spoke: "With all due respect, I feel that your sword blade is too thin; If the materials are not enough, I can use both metal ingots without pay. ”

Hearing the words of the Copperbeard Patriarch, Moon Shadow laughed; The Copperbeard Dwarf was known for his honesty and sincerity, but there was another thing he had overlooked. The weapons forged by the dwarves were thick, and the elegant designs of the elves were truly worthless in their eyes. I guess if it weren't for his identity, the other party would definitely say, 'What can this toothpick do, forging it will simply ruin the reputation of our dwarves.' Smiling, Moon Shadow shook her head slightly and continued, "It's not a matter of materials, my friend, you must know that this sword is not only a weapon, but also a symbol of my status; If you want to forge the next sword, you can do exactly what you want, but this one needs to be the same as the original one; He has a lot of symbolic meaning. ”

"Alright! I guess it's some kind of art of your elves and something that has no practical value. But I'll help you get the blade out. Leaves you stunned. The Copperbeard Patriarch shook his head helplessly, if it was a normal situation, he would definitely not accept this kind of work. A large part of the reason why he finally accepted it was because of the temptation of this miracle; It is true that very few blacksmiths can give up the temptation to forge an artifact. Another part is that the sturdiness of the material means that even if it is made according to the drawings of the Moon Shadow, it will not affect the final quality, otherwise he will not forge it even if he is killed, which is the honor of a dwarven forger.

"Thank you very much for your help." Moonshadow was still happy to hear the Copperbeard Patriarch's promise, although he didn't say it well. But the Moon Shadows didn't care, all he wanted was the result.

"You don't have to thank me, it will take an estimated hundred years for this sword to be forged; And I'll have to join forces with the other two brothers. The Copperbeard Patriarch said as he gave the two metal ingots to the retinue behind him and put them away, Moon Shadow nodded, and a hundred years was only a moment for him, not very long; It will take some time for the Burning Legion to arrive, and it should be enough. Immediately after that, the Copperbeard Patriarch took Moon Shadow to visit the Railway Fort for a while, and then invited Moon Shadow to dinner. The dwarven diet is very ordinary, and the only condiment of the food is stone salt. However, it was very similar to their rugged and bold style, with plenty of boiled and grilled beast meat and a lot of barrels of spirits, but Moon Shadow didn't pay much attention to it.

During this period, I drank a lot of dwarven soju, which is a bit like the vodka in Russia in the previous life. Drinking it in the mouth is like a flame, and ordinary people will probably get drunk to death after drinking a few glasses. However, this did not have any effect on the demigod body, and after a few rounds of drinking, he did get closer to the Copperbeard Patriarch. Although he didn't have to deliberately get along with the dwarves, the dwarves were a big race after all and had some unique conditions; After co-opting, it will definitely be of great use in the future.

The next day, Moon Shadow left Ironforge Castle, after all, this time it was a private outing; There's still a lot of work for him to do, and he doesn't have much time to spare. In the past, he didn't leave all the affairs to Aishara, but when he returned, he couldn't do that anymore. Eshara had worked for Kadore for tens of thousands of years, and now the throne had passed to her; He could no longer push the burden back.

By the time I returned to Cadore, it was already nightfall in Cadore in the Western Hemisphere. The Holy City is brightly lit up, and soldiers are celebrating their previous victories in the regroup. The streets were crowded with people, and the rituals of the Temple of the Moon began to sing the "Elegy of the High Elves" to praise and praise the soldiers who died at Silisus. Listening to the quiet singing, Moon Shadow frowned slightly. As he spoke, he looked miserable and sad, listening to Moon Shadow's eyes close slightly. The upper elves disappeared in their hands, and the only thing left was this song.

Recall that during the War of the Ancients, the elves sang this song in memory of the victims who bravely fought against powerful monsters. It was sung earlier in the defeat of the Sawdust Empire, but many things have changed in Kadore. The elves are no longer the children of the night, and their original violet skin has deteriorated. The only thing that remains unchanged is the heart of the people of Kadore, who has become stronger in the midst of wars and disasters. The upper echelons who disgusted many civilians back then are probably also nostalgic now, when Kadore was at his strongest; It is also the proudest moment for every Cadore.

Time is gone, and there are many more challenges ahead. "The son said on the river; The deceased is like a husband, and the sun and the moon are gone. "Even the eternal elf is afraid of the passage of time, and he will only move forward like flowing water. (To be continued.) )
