825 Moira - Brass Whiskers
As tall as the spruce and cedar trees are the high domed walls of the Iron Fort that extend from the mountain; The dim and warm light streamed through the skylight at the top of the fortress, and the noise of the dwarves could be heard echoing even in the mountains.
The Red Dragon Queen landed not far from the gates of Ironforge1 and reincarnated into her human form; Arthas, with Frost Sorrow and the Red Dragon Queen, walked towards the gates of Ironforge.
I've heard that the entire mountain range has been hollowed out by the dwarves and turned into a castle - Arthas doesn't know if this rumor is true, but at least from the outside, the highest light in the Ironforge is indeed at the same height as the top of the mountain.
The Danmoro Snow Field is covered with snow all year round, and the temperature here is almost as warm as the Icecrown Glacier in Northrend; The Red Dragon Queen and Frost Sorrow are not mortals, so they are naturally not afraid of the cold, as for Arthas...... Having been transformed by the Red Dragon Queen, he can be said to be the strongest among mortals, but he is not very afraid of the cold here.
However, this scene was different to the eyes of the Ironforge guards - seeing Arthas, the Red Dragon Queen, and Frostmourn walking towards the gates of Ironforge, the dwarven warriors gathered around the campfire at the outpost outside the gate stood up in surprise and ran towards Arthas and the others.
"Kid, are you lost? Fast...... Put this dress on! ”
A bearded dwarven warrior ran up to Arthas, took off his heavy fur, and tried to cover Arthas—of course, he wasn't tall enough. To do this, you need the cooperation of Alsace.
"Hello, Mr. Dwarf...... I don't feel cold. I come from the kingdom of Lordaeron of humanity. Muradin? Copperbeard is my friend; I'm here to see your Magni? King Copperbeard, I have something very important to discuss with him. ”
Arthas excused himself as he spoke to the dwarven warriors who had gathered around him.
"You want to see the king?"
The leading dwarven warrior was stunned for a moment, paused with his fur coat in his hands, and looked at Arthas hesitantly.
The relationship between humans and dwarves has grown by leaps and bounds over the past six years. It is the most solid ally; The dwarven warrior also knew that six years earlier, His Majesty had personally led a large army out of Ironforge. To help those humans fight.
However, it is still quite rare for humans to come to Ironforge and ask to see the king. And...... These humans are behaving so weirdly. The dwarven warrior didn't know if he should let them go to the king.
A young man dressed only in a light robe, and two slender women who were also not dressed much...... It's a blessing that these guys didn't freeze to death in the ice and snow, how did they survive the snow and make it to Ironforge?
"We have to see Magni as much as we can? King Copperbeard, this confidential matter is at stake for the entire Ironforge Fort...... It's about the Black Iron Dwarves. ”
Seeing the dwarven warrior hesitating, Arthas revealed more information - of course, he wouldn't say anything about the conflict between Ragnaros, the Firelord and Neptulon the Tidehunter - and even the dwarves couldn't understand it.
"Black Iron Dwarves? The crumbs? What conspiracy are they hatching? ”
Sure enough, at the mention of the Black Iron Dwarves. The dwarven warriors of Ironforge clamored and drew their weapons. Loud and loud, roaring to give the black iron dwarves some color.
"I have to see Magni? King Copperbeard, I won't be revealing anything more until then. ”
Arthas said, shaking his head.
"Silmon, what's going on?"
Just then, a slightly heavy voice came, and Arthas looked beyond the dwarven warriors who were much shorter than him, to see a female dwarf wrapped in a thick leather coat.
Legend has it that dwarves grow beards just like their men, but now it seems to be just a rumor; The female dwarf in front of Arthas seemed to be very young, and the skin on her face was much smoother than those of the dwarven warriors, but her stature was too strong, twice as strong as the strongest human woman Arthas had ever seen.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Moira! This human said he had come from the kingdom of Lordaeron and wanted to see Magni? His Majesty the Bronze Whisker King, he said...... The Black Iron Dwarves have a new conspiracy. ”
The leading dwarven warrior, "Silmon" in the dwarf's mouth, answered the dwarf's question aloud.
"Black Iron Dwarves? What are our cunning and treacherous people going to do? ”
The dwarf came to Arthas and asked in a loud voice.
"Are you Her Royal Highness Princess Moira? Magni? The daughter of King Copperbeard? ”
Arthas did not answer the female dwarf's question, but asked rhetorically.
"Yes...... You know me? ”
Moella? Copperbeard looked a little surprised—she had barely left Ironforge, wondering why a human would know her name.
"Muradin sued me, and he said he had a niece...... Maybe you remember that scarf? There was one time when Muradin didn't know what to give to celebrate his niece's birthday, and it was the last gift I chose for him. ”
Arthas replied with a smile.
"I remembered...... Uncle Muradin did say...... You are the prince of the kingdom of Lordaeron, that ...... Sa......"
Moella? Copperbeard looked abruptly realized, and then began to struggle to recall the name of the prince of the human kingdom.
"Arthas? Minahill, my name. “
Arthas nodded.
"That's right, this is it! I loved the scarf, but I didn't like it more than the barrel of spirits my father gave me...... I should remember your name, Your Royal Highness Prince of Arthas, the brass-bearded dwarves will not forget their friends. ”
Moella? Copperbeard said apologetically to Arthas.
"So...... Her Royal Highness Princess Moira, may I go and see Magni? Is the Copperbeard King Xià? ”
When Arthas heard Her Royal Highness, the princess of the Dwarven Kingdom, call her a friend, she knew she shouldn't be hindered any more.
"Of course not...... But, for the sake of that scarf, come with me, Your Royal Highness Prince Alsace, my father is in need of someone to have a drink with. ”
Moella? Copperbeard nodded and said to Arthas, then turned and walked towards the gates of Ironforge. (To be continued......)
