Volume 3 Kuroshio 8 Desolation
……
-I'm fine.
……
- They won't kill me.
……
- Last night I asked how the queen died. Hum......
……
- Not the current queen, but Queen Talia, the wife of King Lane, the sister of Sir Lothar, and the mother of the current King Varian.
……
-Died of excessive bleeding after being wounded by an orc.
- Are you curious? Brat?
……
- There are so many things you don't know.
……
- I'm joking with you, Stephen, but this joke is not funny at all, and such a question is like an insult to me.
……
- This person who wants to mess with me should have a bigger conspiracy, otherwise they wouldn't have made a big fuss about such an issue.
……
- I'm not afraid that they will me, and I don't care if the wall has ears or who among you makes a small report.
- Today is the eighth day that I have been locked in.
……
- I'm just a little chilly.
……
- When I met Varian, he was a few years old. Now that he is the king of a country, I said that he will be a wise and wise king, huh......
……
- I once said to him that I would fight for him. From defending Stormwind, to returning to the north against all odds, and then fighting all the way back from the north, he became king when he reclaimed the land once and for all. I did what I said, but now ...... Hmph, yes, the war is over.
……
-You never know what the person on the other side will think in the future other than what he thinks now.
……
- But I still don't believe in my heart that Varian ordered it, that there must be someone else behind it. Certain!
……
-Last time I told you that John and I ran out of the mountain, but it didn't stop me from being safe, and there are dwarven digging sites around the mountain.
-I guess the dwarves must know about the stone elements in the mountains, but what I don't understand is that the dwarves dig in a place that doesn't seem to be next to those monuments, we went to the excavation site to try to see what the dwarves are digging, but it didn't work, it's not our death, we have to go north through their excavation site.
- There were a lot of dwarves in that digging field, and I really saw for the first time how dwarves dig.
……
-It's no different from us, except that the pit they dug is really not small. Still, I didn't see anything they dig up, whether it was ore or coal or anything else. It's just digging down.
- And near this excavation site there is a fortress under construction.
- How did these Black Iron Dwarves get here, why they got here, and what they were looking for here. I don't know if they're still digging there.
……
- These guys are not friendly! It always has been.
……
- You think it's fun to have something going on, don't you? Or do you have to go through something?
……
- The idea in the field is very simple, don't freeze to death, don't die of thirst, don't starve, don't fall to death, don't drown, don't let wild beasts or monsters die. I don't want to go through any adventures or encounter any strange things, I just want to get to the north safely, safely, and smoothly.
-I don't feel how much I enjoy in the wilderness at all, only a guy with a sick brain will feel happy in a place where the scorching sun is going to scare people out, and only a toad will feel romantic in a place where the rainy and damp underwear is moldy.
-I just wanted to find a bed, a soft bed, and before that there was a big bathtub full of warm water, with essential oils and flower petals, and then another soft girl would scrub my body. I just want to eat like a human eater, not a mouse or a fox or a wolf every day.
- Did you know?
……
- But that's just a wish. Hmph, like you said, danger is always there. You never know what's waiting for you in front of you.
-To be honest, I really envy those magicians, there are still quite a lot of people like Dalaran in the north, these pointed hats and long ears fart and disappear after chanting spells, and then appear where they want to appear.
……
- I've seen it, of course I've seen it, but this spell also seems to have failed sometimes. It is said that an unlucky guy stuck himself in the wall.
……
-There were a lot of Black Iron Dwarves in that place, but we didn't want to go far, so we waited until night fell and quickly walked through the area.
……
-We didn't find anything, we didn't want to get close to the ground, and we didn't have that much to worry about near the castle and inside the mountain, so that's all.
……
- Walked for about four or five days. I can't count the number of mountains I have climbed, and when I gradually see the barrenness in front of me fade, and the grass on the ground begins to grow, and the shrubs and trees appear in front of me, I know that I am finally going to get out of there.
……
- It is the territory of the dwarves.
……
-I remember...... Uh, no, that's when our army went south. That was the territory of the dwarves. Although the dwarves never patrol or garrison or care about the situation at the borders of their realms, the dwarves say that it is their land from then on.
- They are one ancestor, but different ethnic groups.
-I met the Black Iron Dwarves, and the owner of the territory I am entering now is the Copperbeard Dwarves.
……
- How do you explain it...... It is...... Belch......
- These dwarves are stone-turned.
……
- Surprised? It's a stone, but that's just a legend. But I think it's possible, or what these guys are doing with burrows in the ground.
……
- Ah, of course it's not a mouse, have you ever seen such a big mouse?
-The dwarves have three branches, one is the Copperbeard Tribe, one is the Black Iron Tribe, and one is the Brute Hammer, huh...... If I'm not mistaken, it's the Brute Hammer. They were originally a family, but ...... One of the advantages of human beings is selfishness, but this advantage allows people to develop themselves but also leads to a lot of problems.
……
- They are also human, after all, they are also flesh and blood.
……
- Orc ...... Well, they're beasts. It's different from us.
-The dwarves fight for leadership and turf. In the end, the Black Iron Dwarves were defeated, and they were driven away, the black dwarves.
-Of course, these Black Iron Dwarves are not convinced, but there is no way, they can only blame their leader for being like this now.
……
-How do I know why the Black Iron Dwarves like that hot place, we can't measure the characteristics and customs of a race with normal thinking. Or is it simply because they're black?
- Who knows. These can only be handed over to those university scholars to reveal, I don't know. I just knew that what I was going to face right away was a copperbearded dwarf with less dark skin and some of the things I'd dealt with before.
……
- Ah, the Brute Hammer...... It's another story, and now I'm going to talk about this and not that, and if you keep interjecting when I'm talking about it, I'm going to confuse it and I'm going to confuse it about this or that, do you understand?
- Well, I slowly felt some comfort when we stepped on the land, the wind was not so dry, the sun was not so hot, and the air did not make my throat ache.
……
-I didn't meet any dwarves in the first week, and I'm not sure if I can talk to them.
……
-I didn't have to open my mouth to deal with before, so I don't speak the language of the dwarves.
……
-The only direction we have is to go north, and where there is a road in the wilderness, we are all groping for ourselves. The land here is full of plants, but the disadvantages are very, very obvious.
……
- Do you think the wilderness is as smooth as the lawn in King's Square? The grass is as tall and soft as it wants you to roll on it and scatter a little wild? Do you feel that the wilderness is as addicted to you as a woman's soft breasts?
- Nonsense, if you talk about whether the road is good or not, this kind of land overgrown with thorns, shrubs, vines is not easy to walk. And it's not like you can catch critters in this kind of place. Especially rabbits!
……
- What to eat? Eat what you catch. Birds flying in the sky, snakes crawling on the ground, and of course wild boars or bears.
……
- Encountered a bear and killed one. There are bears in the Elwyn Forest, but the brown bears in the Elwyn Forest are much smaller than the bears there.
- There are black bears, standing much taller than me, and their paws are two circles bigger than your face, two circles bigger, you know what that means?
- It's that big...... Did you see that?
- Their claws all have blood grooves, and those claws have hooks, so long!
- If you are scratched by them, you will basically die. It's scary.
……
- I used my bow and arrow well. But this thing is really rough and thick. Their fur is cut with an axe, but the damage is very limited.
……
- I can say unceremoniously that this thing rushes into the general crowd, and it is not a problem for a bear to kill forty or fifty people. Even a well-trained soldier out of ten or eight would not necessarily be able to kill it.
……
- I'm not bragging, you must have no idea how scary this thing is to go crazy and get clawed on its body...... May he survive. And this thing can climb trees, and it's fast.
……
- I shot my bow very well, I said it. Just that time, I won't provoke this thing again, and of course the wild boar is not a joke. However, compared to black bears, they are already much less difficult.
- We had a good meal in those days, and we slowly regained some strength after slowing down.
- But there are still some terrible creatures in the mountains, the kind of monsters with extremely long arms that we encountered in that barren land.
- Tsk, I'm really looking forward to finding a place where people haunt me as soon as possible.
……
- Yes, of course encountered, a large dwarven town.
……
- Now I know what it is called, but I didn't know it at the time.
……
- Sersama, that big town is called Sersama.
……
-They don't want to entertain us, hmph, Stormwind is full of dwarves and has a good relationship with us, but for those aliens who suddenly appear in their territory, especially if they don't understand the language, they don't plan to entertain us with good wine and barbecue.
……
- Unfortunately, we were caught.
- You have to believe in the fighting power of the dwarves. They can break your nose bone with a single punch, if they jump.
