Volume 3 Kuroshio 17 Old Grudges
- How can there be such a thing? Willy, who do you listen to?
-Willie:......
- Is this news accurate?
-Willie:......
- The king went on another expedition......
-Muller:......
-This is the sixth time this year, and if I hadn't been in this bird place, I would have been by his side now.
-I used to be by his side, hmph, this kid is getting better and better now.
-Muller:......
- However, the remnants of the orcs are not so easy to pay off, and I heard from the people in the city management center that the population of the Stormwind Kingdom may have dropped to a third of its pre-war level, and the orcs have a greater range of movement and hiding places. So this war is far from over, and he still needs me.
-Muller:......
- You don't need to be reminded of this, kind Monsieur Müller. I'm locked up here only temporarily. With what I know about him, he wouldn't do this to me, there must be a big misunderstanding, and the guy who blows the wind in Varian's ear I swear will find him out, and then he will realize what life is better than death.
-Muller:......
- I don't know who it is yet, but I will know after all.
-Muller:......
- On what basis is there self-confidence? Marshal Wendsol and I were born and died together for more than ten years, what do you say?
-Muller:......
-Fart's prophecy, it is impossible for my situation to change worse based on our relationship alone. What the fuck prophecy...... Now my mind is messed up, and I can't remember a lot of things from the past.
-Muller:......
- Let go of your fart! You're just Alzheimer's.
- I was injured as a result.
-Muller:......
-Someone wants to put a hat on me or splash some dirty water, but I don't really care what kind of crime he wants to put on me, I'm just more interested in the motives of the person who wants to kill me.
-I have no enemies in the court, and a guy like me, who has been fighting for twenty years and is just a Kingsguard, will never find a second one when he digs through the history of Stormwind.
- With the right of my current position, say that I am treasonous? Or do you want to be bad for the king? Do you believe this kind of thing in you?
-Muller:......
-Hum...... Fuck the scourge ......
- Mueller, your fucking mouth is a little poisonous, but the last person who said that about me is no longer there.
-Stephen:......
- It's a woman, the woman who left a mark on my arm. It's the woman I told you last time, but I didn't finish it.
-Gatsby:......
- Although she doesn't look very old, I'm not you, Gatsby. You're a donkey that anyone wants to be a woman.
-Muller:......
- She disappeared, maybe dead, probably dead.
- I only know that her name is Agra, nothing else. The dwarves also knew very little about this woman, and the dwarves told me that she had lived there many, many years ago.
-Ethan:......
-I don't know if she lives in the mountains or another space.
- You should have heard that dwarves like to burrow, they like to dig and build. I don't know exactly what they're trying to dig up. According to them, witches were discovered when their ancestors had broken through a mountain.
-Ethan:......
-I was digging and digging and suddenly found a paradise with birds singing and flowers. That's what the dwarves say. But outside the mountain, there is no place where the witch lived, and of course no one knows where this woman lived, how long she lived here, and when she was here. They dared to ask and got no answer, anyway, as far as I know, they have lived for hundreds of years. Dwarves know about humans, but they also know that humans can't have such a long lifespan.
- So the dwarves respect her very, very much, and this witch will also help the dwarves with some problems.
- But she's no longer there.
-Ethan:......
- No one knows where she went, why she left, just suddenly disappeared. And...... The passage to her dwelling that the dwarves had dug out of the mountains had also strangely collapsed.
-Ethan:......
- Of course it was dug up, but the dwarves have given up looking.
-Ethan:......
-Not how badly it collapsed, but to dig to the end where their ancestors had already dug up, but there was nothing but countless crystals out there. There is no paradise, no birds and flowers, just an underground cave full of crystals.
-Ethan:......
-To be honest, I don't know where it leads, maybe there's nothing there, and even they can't figure out if this crystal cave is connected to another magical space or if Lady Agra lives here in the first place.
-Ethan:......
- No, never saw her again.
-Hum...... It's ridiculous that the dwarves think the disappearance of the witch is my reason!
- Have a fart relationship with me.
-Muller:......
- How can I feel? What else can they say? Of course, they didn't have any hard evidence that my presence caused the witch's disappearance.
-Ethan:......
-The reaction after the witch's disappearance is really big and lingering...... Hmph, I later found out that this is not a grudge, some of them are holding back and trying to kill me.
- After all, the witch who lived for maybe hundreds of years was more than happy to help them, healed them, divined, did a lot of things. Although she cannot be said to be their patron saint, the dwarves revere her, perhaps more than her. Now it's suddenly gone, perhaps like a sudden collapse of faith.
- I guess so.
-Ethan:......
- How did you find out...... Well.
- To say this...... Not...... I still remember seeing Inezes again. He looked at me when he was whiskered.
-Muller:......
-The look in which a man looks at a man...... Well...... Gatsby, show me the look in your eyes when you see a man who makes you feel physically impulsive.
- Ha, see?
- Mueller, Gatsby clearly doesn't mean anything to you. He...... Belch.
-Muller:......
- Ah, how did you hold on to your back door?
-Muller:......
- Then don't discuss this disgusting issue.
- But dwarves will never have such eyes, they are all stone, so they do not have such rich feelings as Gatsby. Anyway, I haven't seen it, let alone heard of it.
-The way he looked at me at that time was first strange, then surprised, which quickly turned into suspicion, and then a little complicated.
-Muller:......
- What is complexity? Well......
-That kind of look you can only experience by yourself, that is, looking at you, there is a kind of uncertainty in your eyes...... Tut...... No, it should be distrust! Yes, distrust.
- Maybe not frowning, but looking at you just makes you feel a little strange.
- Can you feel that look? Look at you or try to calculate your eyes.
-I haven't forgotten that look now...... But I didn't think much of it at the time, after all, I didn't know that the witch was gone.
- I still licked my face thinking that we knew each other before, I brought them news, not to say how they thanked me at least...... Treat us well.
-Muller:......
- Not in prison, I still haven't experienced what a dwarven prison is like. But at that time we were not directly put in prison, but ...... Well...... To be honest, the hospitality is very decent.
-Muller:......
- We were both greeted...... Uh, was brought into the dining room. At that time, we did smell very bad, of course, neither of us could smell it, but the people around us told us to wash up and talk to the garrison general.
- Hmph, the bath water is all cold.
-Muller:......
-They say that they use cold water in their baths, and I think it's fart.
-Muller:......
- How do I know, I haven't seen a dwarf bath anyway. I haven't seen a man either.
- It didn't matter, at the time I thought they were really just using cold water, I didn't think much of it, but John was grinning after being washed. After that we were ushered into the restaurant and we were supposed to have a dinner party...... As a result, there was only Iron Beard himself at the table, and heavily armed guards stood on either side.
- I still haven't thought much of this situation!
- Ha, I trust friends too easily.
-At that time, the Iron Beard General leaned on the huge chair, and with his left hand on his cheeks, he watched the two of us walk in. Actually, I was hungry, cold and hungry, and although the dwarven castle was known for its constant temperature, I was chilled from hunger.
-The guy sitting at the table didn't show a friendly expression, we just looked at each other.
-Muller:......
- Yes, just looking at each other like this, he doesn't understand what I'm saying, I don't understand what he says.
-Not long after, a dwarf walked in from outside. Ah, I'm glad to see him, and now if I see him, I'll hug him.
-Grista. Tie. Do you remember the name? It was him, he was surprised when he pushed the door in, but I saw him smile at me, the first person I had smiled at since I entered the fortress.
-Ethan:......
- The general looked at Iron Mountain and pointed at me.
-Yes...... Iron Mountain looked at me and smiled and said, "You must be hungry!" ”
- Of course I was hungry, but his words warmed me. I said, "If I hadn't taken that cool shower, I would have lasted a little longer." ”
-He immediately beckoned to eat and drink, but I saw the general's expression when he spoke to Tetsuyama, and although Tetsuyama's face didn't change much because of the beard, the look he threw at me after hearing the general's words and the food he served afterwards made me feel a little bad.
- I was injured when I first came, but the food was still very good, although it was not a delicacy of the mountains and seas, but there was wine and meat, at least it was all hot!
- Can the food be served now...... Yes! Maybe it was yesterday's bread, but in addition to the bad taste, this hardness makes me really ......
- I was surprised, but I didn't care so much, no matter how rough it was, it was made of wheat. The soup that came up...... Tsk, we didn't eat so badly.
- That's when I finally felt something strange.
-Willie:......
- Not light? Do you think I'm not in a good head? Ah, I really admire the kind of person who has a bright brain and a unique vision, and can see everything. I remember the stories told by the village grandmothers were full of such clever people. It's a pity that I'm not that kind of person, at this time I just felt bad, but I didn't think too much about it. It was too late.
- The general spoke coldly, translating Iron Mountain, and he asked us how we came, why we came, and what happened.
-Actually, I was a little hesitant at this time, and I was thinking about how to tell this group of dwarves about the fall of the human kingdom.
-Ethan:......
- No, no, no, maybe your words would have told him directly, but I didn't.
-Their attitude towards me makes me hesitate, if it is a warm welcome, a grand greeting...... I probably wouldn't hesitate. But, ah, even if it's not a grand welcome, I'll just say that I'll make me a hot meal, and now this situation is ...... Telling them directly may not be something that will make them happy.
-Ethan:......
- Will the fall of the Stormwind Kingdom affect them?
- Do you think so?
-Ethan:......
- No, no, no, lads, handsome guys!
- You guys think too much! In fact, they don't have much communication with our kingdom.
- Some people may retort that the dwarves don't communicate with us much......
- What do you guys think?
-Muller:......
- Hmph, the undersea railway hasn't been opened yet, has it? And this is not long after the agreement was reached, and the dwarves agreed to build an underground tunnel connecting the two kingdoms.
- Then why didn't you fix it? Why didn't King Ryan fix it when he was alive?
- Oh, the truth is that there really aren't many, or very little! If it weren't for Lothar leading the people to liberate Kazmodan, these dwarves wouldn't have much of a good impression of us.
- These dwarves are actually very closed and conservative! In their eyes, gold, treasures, precious stones, and minerals are much more important than the friendship between the two countries! In a way, dwarves are not much different from those green-skinned goblins.
-Stephen:......
-In the past, there were indeed occasional dwarves who came to the Stormwind Kingdom, but there was basically no official contact, and most of them were private acts. After all, the two countries are separated by thousands of miles, and in between, there are a group of black-faced and black-hearted black iron dwarves and a burning and frenzied land.
-Muller:......
- That's nonsense, Mueller. The ancestors of the Stormwind Kingdom came here by boat.
- Yes, by boat, you heard it right. King Fadil crossed the ocean with his army of his people, and landed at what is now King's Port.
- Guess why they don't go overland?
