Chapter 47: The Abyss
Emerging from the Ring of Black Wings, Gauss continued to search for the Blackstone Abyss near Blackstone Mountain.
According to the settings in the game, he has found five copies, namely the upper layer of the Blackstone Tower, the lower layer of the Blackstone Tower, the Blackstone Grotto, the Blackwing Lair, and the Blackwing Blood Ring, but only the Blackstone Abyss and the Molten Heart are left, which have not been found for the time being.
It is said that the heart of molten fire must be deep in the underground of the main mountain of black stone, but since the entrance did not appear in the main mountain of black stone, Gauss had to guess that the heart of molten fire should also be fused with the abyss of black stone.
He was in a trance and still had the impression that the Blackstone Abyss was in the game, as if there was a portal to the heart of the molten fire.
The problem of Nefarian appearing in different time periods of copies at the same time in the game has been reasonably explained due to the fusion of the Blackwing Lair and the Blackwing Blood Ring. Obviously, in the real World of Warcraft, Nefarian, the king of Blackstone, has never been defeated by adventurers, nor has he been resurrected by Deathwing, he is himself in Blackwing's nest, digging deep into Blackstone Mountain, only to dig up the Blackwing Blood Ring, and develop two underground spaces into a base.
The appearance of Cleopalat also avoided the problem of the Black Dragon Princess Onexia's game in which the dragon swamp was used as a lair, but at the same time there was a problem in the Black Wing Blood Ring.
In this way, Gauss can't help but wonder, who will be the leader of the Molten Heart?
Ragnaros, the Lord of the Fire Demons, is bound to be impossible, both in the Heart of Molten Fire and in the Land of Fire.
Of course, this is also Gauss through the Ring of Black Wings, to a certain extent, to verify his strength, before he dares to explore the secret of the Molten Heart in person. Although he didn't think how powerful the female dragon of Cleopalat was, in the game, Grull, the father of Goron, who was entrenched in Blade Mountain, slaughtered countless black dragons, but he won the title of a demigod like the dragon slayer.
If the dragon is not too powerful, then how powerful can the dragon slayer be?
This is enough for him to think that his combat power is comparable to that of Gruul.
Grull, the father of Goron, would be afraid of Ragnaros?
Grull is not afraid, he thinks to himself, he should not be afraid.
What's more, if the situation is weak, he still has a trick to deal with.
Gauss felt that with his ability to enter and exit freely in the vice-primary, as well as his ever-changing spells, and with the sixteen-character formula of guerrilla warfare, "the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase", it is very suitable to deal with a strong enemy.
Went around the main mountain of Black Stone and searched outside, but he still didn't find the location of the Black Stone Abyss.
However, Gauss was not discouraged, after all, the Blackstone Abyss was in the area of Blackstone Mountain, and he couldn't run away at all.
This black stone abyss is an underground city established by the Black Iron Dwarves and the capital of the Black Iron Dwarf tribe.
Although the entire tribe of the Black Iron Dwarves, combined with the King of the Fire Demon Kegnaros, to enslave the Black Iron Dwarves for eternity, some of the strength invested will inevitably make the number of legendary professionals sitting in the Black Stone Abyss extremely considerable, but the problem is that the Black Iron Dwarf tribe that has almost maintained its integrity, it goes without saying that the population must be quite large, so it is not difficult to imagine that before the Peace Day of Azeroth, the number of creatures in the Black Stone Abyss must be more than the lower level of the Black Stone Tower.
The Blackstone Orc clan led by Red Black Hand, although it also invested the main strength of the clan in the lower layer of the Blackstone Tower, but those strengths are mainly military strength, in fact, on the whole, the Blackstone Orc clan is not only on the burning plain, but also has some camps, and there are many tribal settlements. The Black Iron Dwarves are different, they have not established any settlements in the Burning Plains, and it can be seen that most of their tribal population has entered the Black Stone Abyss.
Before the Day of Tranquility, it was of course a good thing for the Black Iron Dwarves to have a large tribal population, but when the Black Stone Abyss became a forbidden place and could no longer import any supplies, the excessive tribal population would definitely become a burden.
The eastern continent of Azeroth, not to mention the molten Blackstone Mountains, and the rest of the Burning Plains, could not develop agriculture, and the few ethnic groups that lived here could hardly rely on hunting and trade to survive and develop.
In the past, the Black Iron Dwarves could import food or other materials to the Black Stone Abyss from the outside, but after the Day of Tranquility, the Black Stone Abyss was imprisoned and the transportation channel was blocked, so naturally the Black Iron Dwarves inside could only sit and eat empty.
After 30 years of sitting and eating in the sky, it is really hard to imagine what happened in the abyss of the black stone.
It wasn't until it was dark that Gauss stumbled upon a group of black iron dwarves.
He immediately followed the group of black iron dwarves and headed northwest to a camp in a mountain col.
The living conditions in this camp of the Black Iron Dwarves are very harsh, including the old, weak, sick, disabled and the young, and the population is only five or six hundred.
Gauss disappeared and wandered around the camp for a long time, finally figuring out some of the situation.
It turns out that this place is not a camp, but should be called, the Black Rock Shelter.
Since the Black Iron Dwarves, ninety percent of the tribal population, and the most elite armed forces are concentrated in the Black Stone Abyss, so after the Day of Tranquility, the Black Iron Dwarves who are scattered outside will inevitably be in a difficult situation without strong support. In this case, the Black Iron Dwarves on the Burning Plains went deep into the area of the Black Rock Mountain and established a shelter near the Black Stone Abyss.
The Black Iron Dwarves in the Vault also hope that one day, the Black Stone Abyss will be able to get rid of the confinement.
To say that the Black Iron Dwarves have fallen into the current situation, to a certain extent, they are really to blame, but Gauss is not after all, the indigenous humans of Azeroth, so he can't actually talk about the heinous crimes committed by the Black Iron Dwarves, and he has no deep understanding, so when he sees the dwarf babies in the shelter, who are waiting to be fed, are also suffering, it is inevitable that he will be a little unbearable.
Gauss did not hesitate and revealed his figure on the spot.
As soon as a stranger appeared, the black iron dwarf in the shelter immediately became nervous.
Gauss didn't say a word, leaving five small dimensional bags, and left in a flash.
Five small dimensional bags, two filled with wild boar, two with fruit, and one filled with alcohol.
These supplies should be able to give the Black Iron Dwarves in the Vault a good life for a while.
After a series of flashes, Gauss arrived, the entrance to the Blackstone Abyss.
He secretly jotted down the signs, and then he disappeared and snaked down the swarthy tunnel, into the abyss of black stone.
The name of the Black Rock Abyss is the Abyss, but it is actually an underground city shaped like an abyss carved out in the depths of the Black Rock Mountains. The scale of this dungeon is not only larger than the Ring of Black Wings, but also far beyond the Black Stone Tower and the Black Stone Grotto.
Gauss originally thought that the black iron dwarf in the Black Stone Abyss was in a more miserable situation than the Black Iron Dwarf in the refuge, but he didn't expect to find that the Black Iron Dwarf in the Black Stone Abyss was unexpectedly prosperous as soon as he entered.
Of course, the prosperity mentioned here is relative to his imagination.
However, even if the Black Stone Abyss is not really prosperous, at least in all aspects, it has shown vitality.
It was an upward vitality that could only be seen in two copies, Razor Swamp and Razor Heights.
The two copies of Razor Swamp and Razor Heights are both natural dimensions with a wide enough area, so the wild boar people living in them can make some construction according to local conditions, although it is rare, but it is really logical to say it, but the Black Stone Abyss is different, the hot and dry environment here is almost a dead place for ordinary races.
In fact, even Gauss couldn't imagine how he could find life in such a dead place.
He was in the abyss of the black stone, turning around at will, and he couldn't help it in his heart, and let out a series of exclamations.
It's really unimaginable that the Black Iron Dwarves have not only reclaimed patches of exquisite orchards and fertile fields in the blazing abyss, established meat farms, but also built a set of water storage and storage systems.
Beneath the Blackstone Volcano, where does the water come from?
Gauss was puzzled, so he planned to have a deeper understanding of the ecology in the abyss of the Black Stone.
He stayed for three days before he finally figured out the origin and reason of the strange change in the Black Stone Abyss.
If you start from the beginning, you can't help but have to talk about it, the Black Iron Dwarf Emperor Dagran Thorrison.
Since Emperor Thorisen made a fateful mistake and summoned the Fire Demon King Ragnaros, he not only turned the northern landscape of the Red Ridge Mountains upside down, causing the vegetation to be silent, wailing all over the wilderness, and all creatures that did not submit to the flames turned to ashes, but also made the entire Black Iron Dwarf tribe enslaved by the Fire Demon King Ragnaros.
Ragnaros and his Fire Elemental Legion possessed a strength that was originally unrivaled by the Black Iron Dwarves, but when the Fire Demon King later colluded with Deathwing to introduce the forces of the Black Dragon Legion and the Twilight Hammer into the Black Stone Abyss, it naturally made Thoresen even more desperate, thinking that the Black Iron Dwarf clan might never be able to get rid of the fate of being enslaved.
However, the trajectory of fate is always unpredictable.
Suddenly, the void energy mutated, and the black stone abyss was imprisoned.
Although the Blackstone Abyss leads to the Heart of Molten Fire, and in the Heart of Molten Fire, there is an army of fire elementals, but when the Void Energy mutated, Ragnaros, the King of Fire Demons, had already gone to the Land of Flames and handed over the control of the Blackstone Abyss and the Heart of Molten Fire to the fire demon Xotus. The strength of the fire demon Exotus is naturally far inferior to that of the Fire Demon King.
At this time, Emperor Thorrison the Great knew that the Black Iron Dwarves had finally arrived, and that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to free themselves from slavery.
Once it was determined that the confinement formed by the Void Energy had completely cut off all contact between inside and outside the abyss, Emperor Thorrisen led the Black Iron Seven Sages, as well as the legendary professionals of other races who were also dissatisfied with the rule of the Fire Demon King, to suddenly attack and engage in a fierce battle with the Fire Demon King and his allies, the minions of Deathwing.
In this battle to win freedom and dignity, from the Abyss of Blackstone to the Heart of Molten Fire, although in the end, the King of Fire and the minions of Deathwing, large and small, were wiped out, but the legendary professionals on the side of Emperor Thorrison were also killed and wounded, only the owner of the Black Iron Bar, Prager, was seriously injured and barely survived.
