Volume 3 Kuroshio 6 Wasteland

- Who is Gugar?

- I fought with him, in the north, in Hinterland.

- This guy is very scary, but he is a sinister villain who likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. He is especially fond of deception. Lure the enemy deeper, and then send a magician to ambush it, the magic of this dog thing is very powerful!

- I don't know how many human warriors have died in the flames it summons.

……

- Perhaps, as you said, it may not have gained more energy at this time, or it may be due to other reasons. But now it has softened, at least it was not locked with a big iron chain when it left Blackstone Mountain with the orc army, but walked out of Blackstone Mountain generously.

……

- Other ogres? I don't know about this, but I don't think the number of followers of the Twilight Hammer at that time was too small, otherwise how could thousands of orc soldiers be held back by them. But the number of people who left Blackstone Mountain with Gugal is really not too many, it is estimated that there are only a few dozen, and most of them are not two-headed ogres.

……

- Double-headed, that is, carrying two heads on the shoulders, haven't you heard the story told by adults? The ogre eats children, with a head and a mouth, and a leg in the other.

……

-The two-headed one is the High Ogre, which is often a rare breed in the tribe. And this kind of thing has some kind of special talent. But what I've seen is that it doesn't take many two-headed ogres.

……

- Who knows the reason?

……

- No, I don't want to return to Alwyn with the orcs.

-Well...... One of the reasons for this is that I ......

- Hate to go back, very nasty.

……

- I was just going to move forward. Yes, north, to Lordaeron.

……

- Although I don't fully understand the future strategy of the orcs, I still believe in the prophecy that the world will be turned upside down by the orcs.

- I'm going to go to the north to warn...... Well, it should be a reminder to them.

……

- John didn't say anything, he didn't have a lot of words all the time, he was a relatively silent guy.

- I remember telling him at the time: "Hey, we're going to the north." ”

- He just raised his eyelids, looked at me and said, "Then let's go." ”

-He is not good at words, but he is quick and reliable.

-After the orcs withdrew from Blackstone Mountain, the two of us found our way through the mountain, but the only horse was missing when we went back to retrieve it. I don't know why it's gone, but there are no footprints of other creatures left at the scene.

- It can be said that it was unlucky, we had to walk.

-The scene that unfolds before you after passing through the Black Rock Mountain is no better than the Burning Land, the sky is gray, just like after a volcanic eruption, and there are even large flowers of dust falling in the air.

- Despite this, there are still traces of biological activity on this land.

……

- And there are human footprints. The first thing we found was the footprints of humanoids. I was amazed, wouldn't it be nice to have humans in this place!

……

-That's right! But it's beautiful.

-We followed the footprints and finally found a huge complex built by the Black Iron Dwarves, and we also found a deep, wide rift.

- There is even lava surging underneath the rift, but the dwarves have not only built watchtowers, dwellings, and even carved a large number of buildings into the rock face near the rift. And on the cliff in the middle of the rift valley, a fortress was built on this isolated cliff face.

- Fortress, is a fortress. Not a castle. I found that the dwarves don't seem to have a concept of a castle. They only hollow out the mountain, and they like to build everything on the mountain. And the fortress in the middle of the rift was built really big.

……

-There are a lot of people, this is the place I have seen the most black iron dwarves. The guys are still at work.

……

- What to eat?

- How do I know what they eat, maybe they eat dirt, eat ore to pull metal.

-You can't experience that kind of shock without seeing it with your own eyes. I don't know how many years it would take to build such a place.

……

- No, I haven't seen the Black Iron Dwarves have children.

-Well...... I've thought about that question before, but I've only seen some of them with huge tits that are longer than Muller's. It looks like a man's face, but the breasts are definitely women's.

……

- Ah, Gatsby, if you go out one day, you can go north and find a dwarven girl to try.

……

- Yes, I know there are dwarves in the city now, but I don't think there are any male dwarves in Stormwind who like to use the rear anal opening.

……

- Haven't seen it, I really haven't seen it. Really, really! I haven't seen it before. Gatsby, if one day you do meet a dwarf girl who is willing to be with you for two or three or four degrees, you can write your experience into a romance novel and publish it in the newspaper. I've got you all figured out the title, it's called "Gatsby is Really Amazing".

- Hmph, I'm not sarcastic. I can guarantee that you will make money.

- Where are we?

- Oh yes, there are a lot of dwarves in the valley, and I don't want to make trouble or have anything to do with them.

……

-Make a detour? Of course, there will be a detour. But you don't know, this detour made me collapse. I underestimated the rift, and it turned out that we walked along the edge of the rift for three days without seeing the end!

……

-It's nothing...... Uh, no, I've seen some creatures too, or how are we going to survive?

- Lizards, spiders, scorpions, that's basically what it is. The legs of spiders are edible, the flesh of lizards, and the pincers of scorpions.

……

- Ha, when you are hungry you consciously eat them.

……

- How do I know if this thing can be eaten. What if you're hungry?

……

- No, no, no, that's hungry light, kid.

-It's all about feelings, is this thing delicious...... Whether you can eat it or not depends on your feelings. Do you have a better way?

……

- Of course enough, you don't know how big that lizard is! The spider is about your size. There are no other normal creatures in the land around Blackstone Mountain, it's all this thing.

……

- Hunting, of course, hunting these things is not such a simple thing, this is for ordinary people, but in front of the two of us, these monsters are not so difficult to kill.

……

-I have eaten them all, but the scorpion meat is not good, and John ate the scorpion meat for a day. But I'm fine.

……

- I don't know, John had trouble breathing less than half an hour after eating.

……

-There is no medicine, I am helpless, I can only watch him uncomfortable, at most I just give him a pat. I've never seen anything like that.

……

- How is it good in the end......

-It's just lying down for a day and slowly relieving up. Completely on his own.

……

- There is water, of course there is water. It's just that the water is hot spring water, which is particularly unpleasant. But in order to survive, no matter how bad it is, you can drink it.

- The water choked his throat.

-If you don't drink, you have to drink, at that time, his face was red, and not only did he have difficulty breathing, but he also had a little difficulty swallowing. At that time, I thought that he might not be able to do it, but it didn't happen, and the next morning he woke up and was able to speak, and there was a big bubble on his mouth, but he was fine.

-You can't really eat indiscriminately in the wild.

- After about two more days of walking, we walked into a mountain.

- There is no direction, there is no sun in that place, only dawn, dark, cloudy.

- Wandering around in the mountains for days, this can't be helped. We have no direction, no plants in the mountains. It's just wandering around in the mountains.

……

- No, he never complains. He doesn't laugh at the jokes I tell, and I really can't laugh at the funny things he tells me.

-The only thing that made me happy was when we saw the stars one night. It was that night that the two of us ran all night until dawn! When we saw the sun's rays peeking out from the other side of the mountain and slowly lighting up the sky, I can't forget that sight now.

-Beauty. It's more about hope.

……

- As long as there is a direction, everything will develop in a good direction. We walked out of the mountain that day. Although we were not greeted by a grassland with abundant water and grass, and there was no sign of human activity, the creatures here at least didn't look so disgusting.

……

- Eat birds, bald eagles and the like. I have also encountered animals such as wolves. Eat whatever you want, and more importantly, there are some plants here, so we can make a fire!

- Although there is no salt...... But! Do you know how delicious cooked food is?

……

-Those who can get some satisfaction and happiness from suffering are lucky.

……

- Isn't it? Just like you are now. Can you feel a little satisfaction and happiness? Brat.

……

- Listening to you, it seems that you do not understand the current situation.

……

- Okay, Stephen.

-You have to be self-aware, you have to be self-aware at all times. This is important.

……

-Ha! That's right, you have to know who you are.

-There are people who spend their lives and live to death without knowing who they are. They don't know what they can do, what they want to do, or what they will do.

-Recognizing the situation and who you are is the most important thing, and it is just free to teach.

……

- Well, don't thank me, you can thank Uncle Stephen for teaching you the most important lesson of your life.

- Do you remember?

……

- Hmph, it doesn't seem so miserable to look back on that time now, but surviving in the wild is not easier than being a beggar in the city. yes, Black Willy.

-That land is barren, and I feel more desolate than the wilderness of the West. It's not as hot as the land near Blackstone Mountain, and the sky isn't as grey, but it's dry enough. It takes wisdom to survive in this place, but it also takes luck.

- And our luck is good, at least we can always find some water when chasing prey.

……

- Food is important, but water is even more important. And where there is water, there is generally no shortage of food.

-We hope to get out of this land as soon as possible, and I have the impression that we should be able to meet dwarves further north.

……

- I've seen the map, so I know there will be dwarves to the north.

- Maybe it was really luck, we wandered the land for about a week or so before finally spotting the footprints of humanoids.

- Hmph, guess what we found?

……

- No, that's not a dwarf!

- I've never seen such an ugly humanoid creature.

- They cannot be called people.
