Volume 3 Kuroshio 19 All the way against the wind

- These stone-turned-fellows have this ingenious heart.

- Don't believe you.

-I didn't believe it at first, although I still had a little respect or awe for them when I first met them, but after the first contact I felt that some dwarves were still more wooden. This was the first impression the dwarf made of me.

-Some of them are not good at words and will only bury their heads in hard work or do what they want, but this time I realized that I underestimated them, and the little eyes buried in their big heads and thick beards were very fond of looking at people.

-The guy named Iron Whisker stared at me, and he immediately raised his voice, and I guess I was annoyed by the way he looked. He snarled at Iron Mountain, and Iron Mountain only said one sentence when he looked at me, "You'd better tell the truth." ”

- No matter how stupid I am, I can see what is going on, so I hastened to tell him: "Lady Agra sees destruction in the vision of the future, not only of humanity but also of dwarves. ”

-Muller:......

- That's right, to speak is to speak...... Focus. But that wasn't enough to make him jump, and I continued: "Lady Agra seems to be very interested in the legendary Guardian Medivan. ”

-Stephen:......

- Heh, it's been twenty years since this happened, and you still know about the Guardians? It's not easy, boy.

- It's him, and the dwarves seem to know about the Guardians as well. Seeing this, I continued: "In the apocalyptic landscape, the Guardian may be the source of chaos. There is no one who studies magic who is unaware of the status and importance of the Guardian to the world, and it is not surprising that Lady Agra may have visited the Guardian when she saw these sights, after all, it is not a dream, and what can be seen from prophecy often comes true. ”

-Well...... With that, the Ironbeard-sama stopped, his restless fingers staring at me.

- He wanted to keep asking, but I asked for something to eat first, because I was so hungry. I put food in my mouth and wondered why this guy was doing this. And while we were eating, the two dwarves were talking in a language we didn't understand.

-The tone of the two dwarves didn't change much, but I could still hear if the tone was good or not, and the look in their eyes was more telling thing. I poked John next to me and whispered to him that the people were not treating us well. John nodded slightly, he even saw it.

- Sure enough, it's still a bystander.

-I was ready to explain to Ironbeard and was ready to say goodbye to him at any time, but he lifted his ass and left. Tie Shan told me that the general had something to deal with, so let us rest first, and I was really relieved to hear the news.

-Seeing him walk out, I said to John to eat quickly, and leave after eating. The guy wiped his mouth and stuffed the hard bread straight into his pocket.

-After a while, Iron Mountain pushed the door open and walked in. I shook his hand, but the smile on the guy's face made me a little unsure.

- He pointed at me and said, "You...... It caused us a lot of trouble after leaving. ”

- I could only show surprise and bewilderment, and he continued: "Ms. Agra said that you are a scourge. ”

- The guy said it very bluntly, he told me the reason directly. I immediately understood what was going on.

- I said, "I don't know if it's a scourge or not, if it really is, I probably wouldn't have been able to get out of that cave last time, and you don't know what she did to me there." I suspect the witch didn't tell you exactly what these prophecies were about. ”

-Muller:......

-Belch...... No, I need to refine the story a little bit more, don't you think?

- Hmph, anyway, this guy probably believed me. He finally told me that the witch had spoken to the Ironbeard before she disappeared, and that she had mentioned me, and that the title of Scourge had come from that time, and that the witch had left for a long time, and that after a long time the witch had returned, but it was said that she had become very, very weak, and then disappeared again, and that the last disappearance gave me such a title, and that my reputation became notorious here. Of course, few people know what my name is, but they just know that a human scourge has come and has been here. As a result, people here began to have some prejudices about human beings.

- Do you say I'm a scourge?

-Ethan:......

- Well, I love to hear your words.

-The witch just said that I would bring disaster, but this sentence is most likely not the case in my experience. Prophets seldom predict a thing in the most certain language, and they like to be vague. Probably, probably, quite possibly...... This kind of word is their favorite word, and of course they like to precede this kind of word and phrase with some specific conditions, which must be what happens, and these induced conditions do not know if they will actually happen.

-So I asked Iron Mountain if the witch had told you any way to crack or save him, and Iron Mountain said he didn't know. I guess not. If there were, there would be no such things later.

- He's a real guy and doesn't lie, I can see it. I asked him what he meant by the Iron Beard General. He told me directly that the Admiral wanted to sacrifice me to the mountain.

- I was shocked!

-Ethan:......

-To sacrifice to the mountains means to throw me into the abyss.

-The dwarves have their own unique way of worshipping, they are the children of the earth, the children of the mountain, so they prefer to throw their sacrifices into the abyss or bury them in the mountains or throw them into the red arms of the mountains.

-Ethan:......

- It's a volcano.

- And I'm going to be thrown into the abyss. I asked Iron Mountain why he was telling me this. He said something that I still remember vividly, he said, "He already knows about the Stormwind Kingdom. ”

- Do you know how I feel when I hear this?

-Astound!

- First, I don't know how he knew. Second, he may have meant that he did not tell Admiral Ironbeard about this. Thirdly, he was interested in what I was talking about, but he still had doubts, but he didn't believe that I was a scourge and didn't want to throw me into the abyss of the mountains.

- So I asked him, "How do you know?"

- He told me that it has been a long time since the Stormwind Kingdom refugees landed on the south coast of the Kingdom of Alterac. The news was brought up by the merchants of the kingdom of Stormgard two days ago when they passed by the Saldo Bridge. The people of Stormgard didn't think it was a big deal, but felt that the people of the Stormwind Kingdom might be a burden to flee here. Of course, the dwarves don't even feel any influence on them.

-I asked him what he thought, and he said that he didn't think it was a big deal, the human kingdom didn't have much contact with the dwarves in the first place, and the dwarves didn't want to care about human affairs. What's more, the two countries are thousands of miles apart, and the Copperbeard Dwarves are not worried that the monsters that appear in the Stormwind Kingdom can invade their territory. Not to mention the fact that there is a group of stubborn, paranoid, manic black iron maniacs in the south of their kingdom.

-Ethan:......

-This is the thing...... I thought about it and decided to tell him that I thought he was a reliable guy.

-I told him about the fall of the human kingdom, which was actually very serious, and I lied because I was not very happy to see the ironbeard general, and I didn't want to spread such bad news everywhere. I'm on my way to Alterac to meet the Stormwind Kingdom...... Regent's.

-Muller:......

- Anduin Lothar is the Regent! Even if he died, no one would posthumously recognize him as regent, and he deserved it!

-Muller:......

- The dwarf does not know who the regent is, he just wants to know what exactly happened, according to him he has a bad premonition.

-I didn't tell him everything I knew, I just told him that the Stormwind Kingdom couldn't stop the Orcs from invading, and that the Orcs had been on the Black Iron Dwarves' territory right now, and I wasn't sure if the Orcs would fight to the death with the Black Iron Dwarves, but one thing I knew was that if they united, the Black Iron Dwarves might have the idea of Kazmodan again.

- After all, the word "stench" is the perfect word to describe the crumbs that work together to create chaos.

-The dwarf listened to what I said, and he nodded. Then came the point, and he told me very seriously that I would get out of here as soon as possible.

- I wanted to pretend to be shocked again, but at this point I prefer to express gratitude. He told me that Admiral Ironbeard was a very stubborn guy who didn't like humans and didn't listen to advice in general. But this guy is willing to believe me, he is willing to help me, he wants to get me out, in his words: senseless killing and sacrifice will not make any difference, only those who are responsible can do more for the public.

-Hum! How well said! That's what he said about me!

-I hurriedly asked him to take us out, but in fact, I still had no bottom in my heart at this time. I'm really worried about some flip or some moth in a while. But it turned out to be exactly what I wanted, and Iron Mountain took us both to the stables.

- It should be called a sheepfold, and they ride not war horses but extremely stout and mighty goats. Honestly, I'm not used to riding this kind of thing. In the sheepfold, I tried to orient the sheep's head and tried to sit firmly. The dwarves' butts are probably made of stone, and their saddle bridges are extremely uncomfortable.

- But it doesn't get any better way out. So under the leadership of Iron Mountain, the two of us escaped from Maude Fortress relatively smoothly.

-Muller:......

- Of course, nervous.

-Muller:......

- Indeed, I admit that the story I described was not tense at all, but only I knew whether it was tense at the time.

- I escaped like this, and after crossing the Saldo Bridge overnight, I still told the truth to Iron Mountain. I hope the dwarves will stop the orcs in their tracks, even if it means holding on to the swamp and choking the choke bridge to the kingdom of Stormgard.

- I shouldn't have said that, because if the orcs hit here, it would basically indicate the end of their kingdom.

-Ethan:......

-I told him that the strength of the orcs should not be underestimated, and their combat power can be said to crush the human army, or they would not have been defeated so quickly.

-Originally, I thought that Iron Mountain would be a little disdainful like his cousin, but this guy nodded like a very intelligent and steady human.

-I also worriedly asked him if he would cause him any trouble if he let us go, and he snorted indifferently.

-Ethan:......

- The attack of the orcs was completely unexpected by me, really.

-I thought my warning really worked!

-Ethan:......

- That's another tragic story, little ones, tragic stories.
