Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Overspark, who was extremely smart and confident, finally lacked the courage to activate the Eye of Invention again.

Especially after seeing with his own eyes how this thing summoned a beam of light and purified a dozen demons in an instant, this smart dwarf felt that he really shouldn't take the risk.

It's so strange that there isn't even a failsafe protocol inside this lethal machine!

The startled dwarfs quickly resumed their work.

They began to carefully study the various devices in the laboratory, and Oversbach personally dismantled the rotating gear disc.

He looked at the inside of the complex structure of the thing in confusion, turned to Kelsey and Blake next to him and said:

Either this destruction machine is in disrepair and has lost its external module, or the designer misjudged its power.

But how could the mechanical gnomes who could design such an efficient destruction machine not even implement the most basic safety protocols? This simply does not meet any engineering safety standards.

Only those crazy goblins would be so reckless.

Maybe they didn't plan to add any safety protocols at all.

Blake laughed, patted the mechanical device in front of him, and said:

You also saw the image message left by King Mechagon just now. He claimed that he would do his best to eliminate the curse of flesh and blood released by the ancient gods on this world.

He wants to resume the dwarfs' great Titan mission.

It seems that he has entered the taboo too deeply, causing his fragile spirit to suffer an irreversible blow, turning him into a madman with a great mission.

He obviously believes that all creatures infected by the curse of flesh and blood are 'incompatible targets' that must be 'returned to their source'.

So, my dear dwarf friends.

Congratulations on confirming the existence of the Mechanognome and learning about the legend of Mechagon. But under the current circumstances, do you still want to continue to pursue Mechagon?

The stinky pirate looked at the two dwarfs beside him and persuaded him thoughtfully:

No one will laugh at you if you give up in this situation. After all, you have seen with your own eyes that King Mechagon is a madman with weapons of mass destruction.

Perhaps in the past he was as wise and mighty as the dwarf legends say, but now he is undoubtedly mad.

Became the classic villain in the story.

I have a question!

Chewing gum, Kelsey Steelshine raised her hands like a student.

She flicked off her mechanical goggles, stared at Blake with her big cute eyes, and asked in her trademark high-pitched girly voice:

The madman who tried to kill us just kept saying 'the curse of flesh and blood', so what exactly is the curse of flesh and blood? You seem to know this very well, Black.

And he mentioned the great mission of the dwarfs

This word is only used by dwarves. Our dwarf brothers stubbornly believe that they are born to shoulder some great mission, but we dwarves do not have this statement.

There are also things like Titan casting, Ancient Gods, etc. It feels so complicated.

Ah, this is too troublesome to talk about. It can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

The pirate waved his hand and said:

But I know where you can get this knowledge, and it's not that far from Gnomeregan. I'll tell you the information, but you go find it yourself.

Focus on the matter at hand, my dwarf friends!

Mechagon!

Are you going or not?

he asked.

A somewhat frustrated Overback rubbed his bald head and said:

You can't go even if you want to. That crazy King Mechagon didn't leave any useful information behind except that he wanted to murder us.

No, he left the coordinates.

Blake brought the Eye of Invention in front of the dwarf's eyes and rotated it slightly, allowing the dwarf to see the apparently regular beating light spots inside this weird cube.

He said:

The horizontal axis is the orientation, the vertical axis is the height, and there is the 'source point' in the center. I don't think I need to continue talking, right?

Oh my God! This is a three-dimensional coordinate of the physical world! Man, you are a genius pirate!

Overback screamed in surprise. He took the Eye of Invention and looked at it carefully. After a few seconds, the engineering master turned to his assistants and shouted:

Stop working, get the level and the mapping map! I'm going to start calculating the coordinates of Mechagon's entrance to the material world right away. This job is estimated to take a few days to complete.

But I will definitely unveil the mystery of Mechagon!

Yes, today is still a day destined to go down in history!

Seeing the great inventor's reaction, Blake shrugged and looked at the little dwarf Kelsey Steelspark again.

The latter took out a box of his favorite raspberry chewing gum from his pocket, threw one into his mouth, and gave another one to Blake. The secret agent spread his hands and said:

Okay, I admit, my previous doubts about Mechagon were unfounded. The ancient legends of the gnomes are true, and both Mechagon and the mechanical gnomes exist.

Even though our ancient king has become a madman who wants to destroy the world.

But we have reached this level after all, right?

The little dwarf agent blinked, took out the small pistol from his waist, turned it around in his hand a few times coolly and handsomely, blew on the muzzle of the gun, and said to Blake:

We are only one step away from the answer to the mystery. I feel really unhappy if I don't go and take a look. We are going to Mechagon. If we are not welcomed there, we will steal some blueprints and return to Gnomeregan.

Turn them over to the Council of Craftsmen and see what Mekkatorque and his friends do with them.

Well and in good spirits, my friends.

Blake stood up, put his hands on his hips and said:

Then I will continue to fulfill the agreement and send you to Mechagon, and take a look at the real City of Machinery. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing.

The pirate pointed to the giant running turbine device behind him and said to Kelsey:

While Overback is calculating the three-dimensional coordinates, the rest of you have to do me a favor. Take this 'flesh purification' device apart and reassemble it on my ship.

I reserved a weapons bay specifically for it.

The eye of invention used to lock the target and fire should also be left to me. It is one of the 'rewards' for helping you on this expedition.

Having said this, Blake moved his shoulders comfortably. He turned around, looked at the unknown turbine instrument behind him, spread his arms and said:

“My colleagues at sea now basically know that my Nagfar is not equipped with artillery.

Great, that's what I want them to know.

The next time they confidently plan to hunt me and my ship with superior firepower, I will use this 'flesh purification cannon' to give them a big surprise.

whispering sound!

What a bunch of vulgar, ignorant bastards!

artillery?

Do you really think my ship needs a backward thing that requires aiming, has ballistics, and can only rely on luck to hit after firing?

No!

No no no.

The development of science and technology is the future of naval warfare.

And the key to the future is already in my hands!

Hahahahaha.

Blake burst into laughter in the laboratory like a ghost crying like a wolf.

The little dwarf Kelsey next to me shuddered.

She couldn't imagine how much more destructive power the stinky pirate's ghost ship, which could already sneak into the seabed, would be equipped with this flesh and blood purification device.

But under the current circumstances, she couldn't refuse Black's request.

The flesh and blood purification device is already in front of him. Even if they don't help, Blake has plenty of ways to dismantle this thing and move it back. There are goblins in his fleet!

Those stupid explosion maniacs may not be able to figure out the principle of this machine, but they can undoubtedly do the simple disassembly and assembly.

Blake, you won't use it to attack us, will you? I mean the Alliance, you were an Alliance hero before.

Kelsey asked in a low voice.

Blake stopped the villain's laughter, coughed, looked down at the worried dwarf, and said:

No, of course not. Why would I attack the Alliance? Except for Gilneas, you didn't attack me, right? We are not enemies.

At least not yet.

Okay, work hard.

After saying that, the stinky pirate put his hands behind his back, hummed a pirate song, and walked out of the laboratory with ease and joy. And the skinny haze warlock Kanrisade, dressed in black, and his apprentice Bijuka are commanding the demons to guard the entrance to the laboratory.

When Kelsey Steelshine looked over, the skinny boy holding the eyeball jewelry in his hand also raised his head and gave her a gloomy and evil smile.

The dwarf agent shuddered again.

Compared with Blake, these dark warlocks under his command do not look like good people.

Hey, what are you talking about?

Blake walked out of the mechanical dwarf's laboratory and saw Jaina and her group standing under the mechanical garbage pile chatting. He walked over and asked.

Little Gianna raised her head and said to Blake:

We were saying before that no one in the world except dwarves would be able to find this place.

The little mage rubbed his forehead, looked at the piles of mechanical waste around him, and said:

“Only the gnomes have the mechanical knowledge to solve the mystery of this garbage heap, and maybe the goblins too, but no other race cares about this knowledge.

We, especially, believe in the power of magic.

It's no wonder that this mechanical garbage dump has existed in Kul Tiras for hundreds or thousands of years. Everyone who has seen it knows that this garbage dump has secrets, but no one can find the answer to it.

That's natural, my little mage.

Black picked up the dwarf pipe, crossed his arms and said:

The mechanical gnomes deliberately left these clues, obviously to guide those who came after them to find them. But they didn't want to share this knowledge with everyone, so they set up these 'trials'.

Only those who pass these puzzles are qualified to pursue the power of machinery and science.

Overback was right.

Today is destined to be the day they change the world. If the 'science' represented by the gnomes and goblins could not compete with magic before, then as long as the civilization of mechanical gnomes steps onto the world stage, the spellcasters will have opponents. .

Also let me tell you a little secret.

The smelly pirate had a smile on his face and whispered:

“If Oversback had been brave enough to activate the Eye of Invention just now, he would most likely not have been injured.

King Mechagon is a dwarf after all. Although he is crazy and wants to use the power of return to cleanse the world, he still has some conscience for his compatriots and hopes that they can join his crazy cause.

Those purification rays will not harm the dwarfs, but except for the dwarfs, ordinary beings of other races will die if they dare to enter.

Even a legend needs to be seriously injured.

Those purifying beams are effective from the most basic level of life forms. They can only be resisted with energy and cannot be exempted at all.

This is just King Mechagon's elementary use of Origin Technology.

When I checked the silhouette of the future, I learned that he had made a giant Return to Origin device. The power of that device could wipe out all flesh and blood life in a city with one blow!

Hey, I don't believe it!

His Royal Highness Little Star on the other side of Blake crossed his arms and said stubbornly:

The magic is the strongest! The magic is the best! The power of magic is unrivaled in the world! I don't believe that these mechanical gnomes can master more powerful power.

Well, if you go to Mechagon after that, be prepared to be surprised. That mechanical city is full of terrifying devices that can easily kill an ignorant young dragon like you.

Blake glanced at the little star and said casually.

The angry little Xingxing bared his teeth and claws and wanted to bite the smelly pirate to death, but the latter grabbed his wrist and said to the others:

Now, the exciting adventure is over. Everyone has gained something and is also very tired, so now it's time to relax. Let's go to Kenings Camp for a game barbecue, and then go to the big hot spring area to soak in the hot springs take a break.

I even made an appointment with a friend to meet there.

Counting the time, they should have arrived by now.

To celebrate today's successful expedition, I've covered all the expenses for tonight.

Eat as much as you like and play as much as you like, my little friends.

With a wave of his hand, Blake made all the friends, big and small, happy. Little Star even screamed with bright eyes:

Meat! Meat! Let's go, let's go! Don't waste time, let's eat meat!

I want to take back all the shock I suffered today!
