Chapter 859: The Trench Is Inhuman
Uldaman's high level of external vigilance is mainly aimed at Loken.
In order not to be discovered by Lorcan, Azadas deliberately did not arrange for the striking Titan creature of the Earth Spirit to guard the door, but instead entrusted the task of guarding Uldaman to the Copperbeard Dwarf.
In return, members of the Explorers' Guild of the Copperbeard Dwarves are free to roam within Uldaman.
As long as they don't destroy the important devices in the dungeon, Azadas allows them to do whatever they want.
With the threat of the Palate Monster strangled in its cradle, Uldaman was not destroyed as in its original history, and the furnishings of this dungeon are still intact and a great treasure for dwarven explorers and archaeologists.
At the invitation of Sarjan, Brian traveled thousands of miles to Odam on the continent of Kalimdor a few years ago, and happily explored the Hall of Origins.
The Hall of Origins is also intact, and Brian and his archaeological team have learned a lot there.
Last year, he suddenly received the news of the disappearance of his niece Moira, so he put down his work and hurried back.
The average lifespan of a dwarf is around 500 years, and as the sons of the last Prince of Copperbeard, Madolan Copperbeard, the Brian brothers witnessed the Battle of the Three Hammers that led to the division of the kingdom of Kazmodan.
After the fighting subsided, the aged Madolan Copperbeard gritted his teeth and did one last thing, personally forcing the descendants of the King of the Mountains, Modimus Anwimar, to abdicate and take the throne of King Kazmodan himself.
However, Madolan's reign was short, and he attracted the hatred of many of the dwarven populace who still missed the King of the Mountain, and after only a few years in power, he passed the throne to his eldest son, Magni Copperbeard.
On his deathbed, Madolan summoned his three sons to his bedside and swore in the name of the Copperbeard family that there would never be another tragedy of brotherhood in the crumbling kingdom of Kazmodan.
The three brothers solemnly agreed to their father's final request, and Madolan soon passed away smiling, leaving the mess left over from the Battle of the Three Hammers to Magni.
Magni, Muradin, and Brian always remembered their father's teachings on his deathbed, and the three brothers remained close.
Since Muradin and Brian were still nowhere to be found, all three of them raised Moira as their own heirs.
Upon learning of Moira's disappearance, Brian immediately put aside his favorite career of exploration and archaeology, and without saying a word, went to Nanhai Harbor to board a ship back to his hometown.
According to Muradin, Brian remained in Ironforge to stabilize Magni's mood at this time.
At least until the unrest of the Copperbeard and Black Iron Clans caused by Moira is over, it is unlikely that Brian will be gone.
On the way deeper into Uldaman, Saray saw a number of archaeologists from the Explorers' Guild, and the convoy organized by the Copperbeard Dwarves had been patrolling back and forth over the main passages of Uldaman.
It was only when they penetrated deep into the area of the dungeon at the true core of Uldaman that the two of them began to see traces of the earth spirits.
"Huh? Isn't this Sarren and Stella Gosa? ”
A familiar voice stopped the two, and a huge giantess strode towards them with a smile on her face.
"It's been a long time, are you here to report the good news to Azadas?"
"Uh~"
Sarjan scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Aronnaya, I'm going to disappoint you, the preparations for the counterattack on Ulduar have not yet been completed, and we are here for another important purpose this time." ”
The giantess was none other than Azadas and Tyr's best friend, Arronnaya.
Compared with the more Buddhist Azadas, Aronnaya's temper is even hotter, and she has always wanted to launch a counterattack on Ulduar as soon as possible, and she personally pressed Lorcan to the ground and rub it to avenge the heroic sacrifice of Tyr.
Every time Sarren came to Uldaman, Elonnaya would come and ask questions, but each time she received a disappointing answer.
"Hey~ Okay."
Alonnaya also knows that haste is not enough.
Pandaria did not unblock, so he had to rely on the Ancestral Turtle, which had signed a contract with Sarean, to quietly transport the Titan artifacts produced by the Naraksha Engine from under the water to Northrend, where they were stacked in the inaccessible area of Winterhug Lake.
Although several years have passed, this mode of transportation is inefficient, and Northrend's accumulated Titan Creator forces are not enough to counterattack Ulduar, who is sitting on the Creator's engine.
Salian was also interested in changing that, but he never found the time to return to Pandaria.
Besides, whether or not to unblock Pandaria depends on the thoughts of Shao Hao, the last emperor of the pandaren, and Sarayan does not think that he can easily convince a pandaren emperor with strong self-opinion.
At least until Sarren comes up with a detailed plan to seal or destroy the Seven Demons, Shao Hao is unlikely to take the risk of unlocking the fog of Pandaria.
Under the personal guidance of Elonnaya, Sarena and Stellagosa made their way to the deepest hall of Uldaman.
Azadas and countless earth spirits once slumbered here, and since Azadas's awakening, he has transformed this hall into his own workshop, where he can soak in the workshop and entertain himself when he has nothing to do.
As the chief craftsman of the Titan Guardians, Azadas is highly skilled in all aspects of manufacturing.
But Azadas's design skills are lame, and it is difficult to design valuable creations on his own.
In the past, when he lived in Ulduar, it was usually the great inventor Mimiron who decided on the design drafts, and Azadas who carried out his whimsical ideas.
As he received Sunderland's Sword of Thunder forging blueprint from Saljan, Azadas touched his chin with interest.
Azadas's ability to innovate and design is indeed terrible, but thanks to the various equipment and weapons needed to build Mimiron for many years, his vision is not low.
"The unique weapon of the Wind Elemental Prince, very interesting design."
"The principle of this weapon is to use essentia ingots with extremely high elemental conductivity to gather free wind elements, so that the wind element energy rotates and accelerates in the weapon and compresses it to the limit, thus forming a high-intensity lightning ......."
"Alright, alright!"
Alonnaya angrily interrupted Azadas's explanation of the joy of the hunt: "We are not weapon forgers, so we don't understand these tirades of yours. ”
"Don't talk so much about what you don't have, just say if you can forge it!"
Azadas was stunned for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I have an occupational disease...... Ahem, let's get down to business. ”
"With such detailed drawings, of course it was okay to build, but ......"
Azadas spread his hands helplessly: "I need materials." ”
"Intrinsic ingots are very rare finishing metals, and Uldaman has been closed to the outside world for many years, and there is no reserve of this high-grade material in the underground palace."
In order to prevent Sarren from finding the material, Sunderland also deliberately recorded the method of making essentia ingots on the drawings of the Thunder Sword.
The main materials required for this finishing metal are aujin ingots and essentia ores, of which aujin ingots are in high demand.
Arcane ingots are also processed metals, which need to be converted from silver ingots and arcane crystals through special alchemy transformation items such as Philosopher's Stones.
Each time you use a Bit of Stone, you will use up all the energy you have in it, and it will take 48 hours to recharge before you can use it again.
As a result, the price of gold ingots in the market has remained high, and the share of inflow into the market has been very small.
Essentia ores are also rare and can only be collected in areas with extremely high elemental concentrations, and the Molten Heart, which is a gathering place for the fire elemental, fits this condition perfectly.
During the attack on the Molten Heart, the logistics forces that accompanied the coalition forces collected a lot of essentia ore.
But empty essents are of little use.
Excluding other miscellaneous materials, each essentia ingot requires 1 unit of essentia ore and 10 units of augen ingots to be smelted in an ultra-high temperature environment.
Forging a Thunder Sword that fits Sunderland's size requires 50 essentia ingots, that is, 500 aujin ingots, and there is still a question mark over whether there are a total of 500 aucane ingots circulating in the markets of various countries today.
After all, the use of this thing is not widespread, and there are not many people who can afford it, and there are usually not so many surplus reserves on the market.
Luckily, Saray began to make plans when he learned the materials needed for the essentia ingots.
It's impossible to get 500 gold ingots out of the market at once, but Sarren can arrange for an alchemist to prepare the materials and make Philosopher's Stones in bulk on the spot.
2 days cooldown, right? I'm going to make 500 philosophers at once.
Money? This thing is really just a number to Sarjan.
The materials used to make Philosopher's Stone are not rare, even if you spend 500 copies at once, it is not a problem, and the rich Marquis of Deep Shadow will not even be able to take out this money.
Azadas never took care of the house, he only took care of it.
Uldaman's butler, Po Aronnaya, was a little speechless at Sarjan's lavish speech.
"He is worthy of being a high-ranking nobleman in a mortal realm, and he is enough to be entrenched."
"As long as you can come up with enough materials, I can assure you for Azadas that his forging skills will definitely not be a problem, and he will definitely create the artifact you want as quickly as possible."
