Chapter 175: Ecentios Frank Ron Cast Iron
ο»Ώ
"Boom!"
If no one controls the mechanism of the Black Iron Gate, it will be closed again in a short time, and after the five-person team enters the Black Iron Gate, the entire gate will resound inside the control of the mechanism, and then slam shut.
However, the scene behind the black iron gate surprised the five-person team.
"There are no Black Iron Dwarves here?"
Still in a state of hiding, the five-person team looked at the empty avenue in front of them, as well as the fire elements in rows on the second avenue, and several people cautiously walked in the middle of the Black Iron Avenue and slowly moved forward.
Unlike the native creatures of Azeroth, the fire elementals have eyes, mouths and other facial features, and have actual functions, but they can't see too far and can only eat a little food that suits their own nature.
According to some of Dalaran's mages, the distance that the fire element can see is only ten meters, and the distance beyond ten meters can only be perceived by the infrared vision of the fire elemental creatures.
Therefore, after Lotsos' spell barrier hides the body temperature of several people and disappears in line with the surrounding environment, even walking in front of the fire elemental will make the fire elemental think that there is nothing in front of them.
Soon, the team of five came to the middle of the space behind the black iron gate, where a huge black iron felt was placed.
"This place is similar to the furnace of Ironforge!"
Lossos, who has traveled back and forth between Ironforge and Stormwind for many years, immediately noticed the resemblance between this space and the Ironforge Furnace.
The only difference is that the melting pot of Ironforge is noisy day and night, and countless dwarven craftsmen who love forging are stationed here all year round, and at the same time, using the large machinery made by the gnomes for the Ironforge Castle, they are constantly scooping hot magma from the lava lake as an energy source for the craftsmen to heat the materialsγ
Obviously, this is the design of the Iron Forge, which was built in reference to the Darkfurnace City, but compared to forging, the Black Iron Dwarves are more obsessed with the discovery of arcane powers, so naturally this place is idle.
It's just that there isn't even a black iron dwarf craftsman here, which is particularly strange.
In the five-person team, except for Scott and Lossos, the others had not been to Ironforge Castle, so naturally they couldn't find this problem, and although Scott had been to Ironforge with Lotsos, he actually only glanced at it from a distance next to the throne hall and did not observe it carefully.
So the problem, ignored by Lotsos, passed without anyone noticing.
On the other side of the iron felt, there were also two rows of fiery fire elemental guards, and at the end of the road, there was a somewhat dark gate, leading to an unknown place, but from time to time you could see some huge rock golems rumbling past this gate, and the eyes of the crystal made of them gleamed with a cold light.
"Ahead lies the territory of Vernosdackville, and as the chief craftsman of the Black Iron Dwarves, he controls all the war golems except those controlled by the puppet commander Agmanche. β
"We just need to pass slowly, we don't need to alarm him, we don't need to kill him. β
Pointing to the door ahead, Lotsos briefed the others on the situation.
But just as they slowly walked past the side of the huge black iron felt, a blazing heat suddenly erupted, and the huge flames that were slowly burning and dancing on the black iron felt suddenly changed, and the higher temperature condensed into four golden and brilliant magic wrist chakras, and a giant fire element with extreme heat and legendary aura stood up from the flames, and the eyes like two white lights looked at the location of the five-person team in a daze.
"Come out, meatmen, smell you!"
"Belga's blood is running down your body, and it stenges disgustingly!"
And with the sound of the giant fire element, the fire elements guarding on both sides of the Black Iron Avenue also immediately gathered, surrounding the black iron iron felt, although they could not detect the existence of the five-person team like the giant fire elemental, but the heat generated by the convergence of a large group of fire elements made the temperature in the encirclement skyrocket!
"The last time I passed by, there was no such thing as this legendary fire elemental. β
"You didn't kill Berga last time, you just opened the Black Iron Gate and walked over. β
The line of sight of the fire element is indeed only about ten meters, which is the conclusion reached after being verified by the Dalaran mages after hundreds of tests, but at this moment, the legendary fire element on the iron felt did not rely on sight to find Scott and the others, but through the sense of smell.
Bowing his head slightly, at this time Scott realized that there were some small red spots on his and Lotsos' bodies, as fine as dust, which were stained with Scott's blood when he killed Belga, and the situation was urgent at that time, so he didn't pay attention.
What Scott didn't expect was that it was these tiny dots that made their whereabouts discovered.
"Meat people, you don't need to worry!"
"Unlike the other stupid lava dregs and flame snakes, I share some common goals with you. β
"Perhaps, I can let you see my sincerity first. β
No one in the five-member team made a sound, only Lotus maintained the spell barrier, which increased the temperature of Scott's position and the high temperature generated by the gathering of the surrounding fire elements, and also made their presence undetectable to the fire elementals, including the fire elemental during the birth period.
But as long as these fire elements were further gathered, and even finally the space around each fire element was compressed to the point that the human body could not exist, Scott and the others could only reluctantly expose themselves.
However, the legendary fire elemental seemed to have his own ideas, and instead of letting the fire elementals get closer, he used the high-level fire elementals' complete control over the low-level fire elements to disperse them, allowing them to return to their positions.
"I'm not going to try to force you to show up, because we're still in a hostile relationship. β
"However, I will tell you what I have experienced, and it will be up to you to decide if you can show up and talk to me. β
"My name is Ecentios!"
βγγγγγγ β
Without forcing the team of five to show up again, the legendary Fire Elemental Elder named Ecentios began to recount their experiences.
After the birth of the fire elemental plane, the naturally intelligent Isendios was full of the destructive power of the fire element, and this power made him favored by the patriarch of the fire elemental clan, Baron Garton, as a servant, and taught him how to control the destructive power between them, but in the process of teaching, Baron Gatun gradually felt fear, fearing that the power of Isendios surpassed his own and would eventually usurp the throne of the patriarch of the fire elemental clan.
And the end result is that Icentios was finally expelled from the Molten Heart by Baron Gatun, who ordered him to guard the Black Iron Felt of the Black Iron Dwarves forever!
"That's my story, how did you hear it, have you considered showing up?"
Isendios finished telling his story, his eyes still fixed on the direction of Scott and the others, although he could smell the general direction, but he could not directly see the exact location of the five-person team, so he could only wait.
After listening to Ecentios' story, the five-member team fell silent, and finally Gorosh and the others turned their attention to Scot, and before they knew it, Scott became the core of the five-man team.
And after thinking for a moment, and reassuring Lotsos that the elementals themselves wouldn't lie, he looked up at Lotos.
"Lotos, undo the enchantment. β
"Trust me!"
"This fire elemental won't hurt us!"
Naturally, Ecentios' statement was not the final factor in Scott's decision, and more importantly, Scott secretly activated the Stronghold's observation system, and only a faint green color could be seen on this legendary fire elemental, indicating that this fire elemental was genuinely asking for help.
Without asking, Lossos chose to trust Scott.
The barrier began to fade slowly, and the figures of Scott, Lossos, and the others gradually emerged through the transparency, standing on top of the Black Iron Avenue.
And looking at the legendary fire element in front of him, which was getting hotter and hotter because of the appearance of the five people, Scott spoke in a deep voice.
"We've shown up, say, what can we do to help you, and what do you have to exchange with us?"
"I'm glad you chose to help me. β
Blazing is the state in which the fire element expresses excitement, and the more excited it is, the higher the temperature of the element itself, and at this moment, the color of Isentios's body is gradually incandescent and he is obviously very excited.
"The five legends, although they are a little worse than me, are already a very strong team in this world. β
"My request is simple, behind the puppet factory in Vernosdackville is the former residence and statue of the old black iron dwarf Frank Ron Cast Iron, now given to a minotaur fire-controlling Rog Rain. β
"All you need to do is kill this minotaur. β
"As for the exchange, I can give it to you now!"
"Hehe, come out, guy hiding in the shadows. β
Facing Scott and the others, Ecentios said what he wanted, and at the same time, he also chose to pay himself in advance.
And his remarks also made Lotus Celestial Scar and the others suddenly break out in a cold sweat next to the blazing fire element, the five-person team is all legendary, although they have not yet entered the extreme heart, but they are all extremely high-level powerhouses, among which Scott can even compete with the extreme heart in a short time.
But in the mouth of the fire element in front of him, even if the five-person team went together, it was not its opponent, which clearly pointed out that this fire element named Ecentios had entered the extreme stage and had its own domain!
While the five-person team was in a cold sweat, Icentios's palm was slightly fished, and it had already crossed the transparent air, and when his palm reappeared, there was already a translucent old dwarf.
Although the fire elemental can only see the specific scenery within ten meters, it has an excellent purification and restraint effect on the cold spirits and various undead, which is why Ecentios was able to spot this old dwarf.
"Stalker?"
Looking at the translucent old dwarf, Scott felt a familiar chill, but he couldn't remember where he felt it, and Lotos, the most knowledgeable of the five, pointed out the identity of the old dwarf.
"That's not right!"
"It's a ghost!"
It immediately reminded Scott of the place where he had felt the chill: the massive rock tied to the furnace of Blackstone Mountain with seven giant chains, and the metal coffin that lay in the hall inside the rock.
"You are the soul of Frank Rohn's cast iron"
"Yes, I am. β
"I am Frank Ron Cast Iron, and I have followed you from the Tomb of Cast Iron. β
In the face of Scott's question, the old dwarf did not hesitate to say his identity, and at the same time exuded a cold aura to resist the burning of Ecentios's flame palm, and at the same time stated his purpose.
As the greatest architect in the history of the Black Iron Dwarves, Frank Ron Cast Iron still has its own power, even if he is dead and only has a spirit left, which is not enough to fight against Isendios, but it is more than enough to resist the heat that Isendios unintentionally emitted.
"And my goal is the same as this legendary fire elemental, to kill someone, and that is Vernosdackville. β
"He has brought shame on the ancestral souls of the Black Iron Dwarven craftsmen, an arrogant and scheming creature who has stolen the ideas of other craftsmen and claimed them for himself, and has shamelessly proclaimed his achievements. β
"Plus, this guy is constantly looking for my Iron Guts Hammer, the hammer of the Forge that belongs to the greatest craftsman of the Black Iron Dwarves!"
"Can't let him get it!"
Capturing Frank Ron's cast iron soul was the reward paid by Esendios, and although it was still a little lacking compared to killing the fire controller Rogreen, Scott still considered the reward that the old dwarf could provide to him first.
"What do we get?"
A gem appeared in the translucent palm of Frank Ron's cast iron, this gem was as bright as blood, but at the same time had a heavy touch like a mountain, and what was even more incredible was that this gem could be grasped by a ghost in his hand as if it existed in another dimension.
"This is the heart of the mountains, and one of the symbols left behind by the first leader of the Black Iron Dwarves. β
"With this gem comes the friendship of the Black Iron Dwarves, and the right of forgiveness for life, no matter who you kill, including Thorrisen!"
With the old dwarf's words, the gem emerged from the illusory, fell from the old dwarf's palm, and fell into Scott's hand, and the old dwarf's figure slowly disappeared.
"I have already paid the payment, waiting for your good news. β
Scott, who had taken the gem, turned his head towards the fire elemental Ethandios.
"Thank you for pulling out Frank Ron's cast iron soul, but, as a reward, it's not enough!"
"You need to add a little more!"
