Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 766 97. You must reach this height! ——Additional update for Wu Sangui brothers【715】

Mechagon Island is a magical place.

Follow Blake's magical memory

No, no, no, we can't say that. It should be according to Black's prophet's magical prophecy that the island where the mechanical dwarf has been hiding for nearly a thousand years is actually near the big island of Kul Tiras.

It is essentially an island affiliated with Kul Tiras.

The distance can even be reached across the sea with a gryphon, which is within the coastal waters of Kul Tiras.

But it has been hidden for nearly a thousand years next to a country with a tradition of exploration and an extremely developed navy. It must be said that these mechanical gnomes do have two skills at hiding themselves.

Our island is invisible to the eye! And it happens to be located in a reef area in this sea. The Kul Tirans will never go there.

However, we occasionally observe these human actions through telescopes, but to be honest, it is quite boring.

On the deck of the Nagfar that was speeding forward under the sea, Trixie Shock, the mechanical dwarf who had been replaced with a mechanical leg, was fiddling with a newly made instrument that looked a bit complicated, like a sextant with a tripod. .

She was surrounded by gnome craftsmen who were watching.

This very social mechanical dwarf didn't care about these guys watching. While adjusting the instruments on the deck to adapt to the light on the seabed, she said to Blake and his extremely curious parasaurus next to her:

Although Mechagon is indeed located in the material world, there is basically no way to reach the island through normal means. In addition to the optical concealment generator covering the entire island, we have also deployed fully automatic coastal defense guns on the coastline.

Any ship that is not allowed to approach Mechagon will be ruthlessly destroyed at extreme range.

We don't like others to disturb our lives.

Because you land people simply cannot understand our technology and our knowledge. Judging from my experience of lurking in Port Boralus, you will definitely slander our advanced science as witchcraft and the like.

That is a blasphemy against knowledge.

But you can always get in, right?

Sephiel curiously looked at the instrument in Trixie's hand that was being fine-tuned, and she said:

Didn't you send sentries to Kul Tiras? This proves that your island is not completely closed. Since you can come out, we can also go in.

This is different, you stupid dragon.

Trixie taunted ruthlessly:

I can come and go freely because my chip information has been registered in Mechagon City's large database, and those coastal defense guns will not attack me.

Besides, we have a phase transmission device. If you hadn't brutally destroyed the transmission module in my body, how could I have been caught by you?

The moment you attack me, I can teleport myself back to Mechagon Island.

Although that will overload all my energy batteries, and I will have to undergo a major overhaul after I return, and may even have to go into hibernation, but we mechanical gnomes can indeed use technology to do the same thing as you human mages.

And it's much faster than your spellcasting.

Wow, phase teleporter! This is just a theory that has just been proposed in Gnomeregan's design, without any proof at all.

Behind the mechanical dwarf, the great inventor Oversbach exclaimed in an exaggerated tone:

Mekkatorque did the calculations himself. He believes that it will take at least ten years for us to develop a mature phase transmission device!

Ten years? You are thinking too much.

Trixie grinned with a weird smile and said to her compatriots who theoretically share the same blood:

I have carefully studied your technological creations in the past few days. My poor short and inferior compatriots, I regret to tell you that your technological route is completely different from Mechagon's technological route.

According to your current research direction, if you want to create a phase transmission device, it will take at least another fifty years of development.

How can this be?

Kelsey Steelshine, who was sitting next to her chewing gum and wiping the disassembled gun parts, exclaimed and said:

We are all gnomes, and although you mechanical gnomes have mechanically transformed yourselves, you also left the Khaz Modan Valley thousands of years ago.

The development of your engineering technology is theoretically based on dwarf engineering. How could there be two different technical routes?

Isn't this the big lettuce on the roadside that you can get out of thin air if you want it?

Hey, even if you tell me, you don't understand.

Trixie's eyes had been modified into detectors and she couldn't roll her eyes, but she used light to create a sarcastic look on her detector lenses.

She raised her head proudly, as if she didn't care to say anything to an impure flesh and blood creature like Kelsey Steelspark.

It can only be said that these mechanical gnomes are really used to self-isolation. They are just like the thorn heads, and it is difficult to deal with them.

Your technology is based on Titan technology, right?

Seeing that Trixie was not going to say much in this regard, Blake, who had been holding the Eye of Invention in his hand to observe and record the three-dimensional coordinates without saying a word, casually solved the puzzle and said:

It should be that after King Mechagon took you out of Khaz Modan, you discovered the ruins left by the Titans in a corner of the world, and you secretly learned some details of Titan engineering from them.

Most of you probably don’t understand those mysterious engineering knowledge.

But just using those you can understand is enough for you to break away from the framework of dwarf engineering over the millennium and develop your own theory of 'mechanical return to origin'.

Not only that, the mechanical city Mechagon you built underground is also built after the internal structure of the Titan Temple, but it has been scaled down to fit the size of the dwarfs.

Therefore, in this respect, Mechagon City can be regarded as an 'artificial' Titan Temple.

So what, am I right?

What is stealing lessons?

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Trixie retorted dissatisfiedly:

That precious knowledge is placed there! Those responsible for guarding it are a group of idiots who don't understand the beauty of knowledge at all, and only know how to worship the sacred knowledge as sacred objects!

Rather than letting them be buried in the desert, it is better for us to inherit and carry them forward.

Facts have proved that King Mechagon's original risk was correct.

Although the brave Forerunners were nearly vaporized by the terrifying Titan energies, the knowledge we gained from those ancient tombs shaped the great civilization of the Mechagnomes.

From there we brought back the enlightenment of technology.

He wanted to return to Khaz Modan to share all this with his people, but he encountered a storm at sea and had to stop on the island of Kul Tiras, which was still a wilderness at the time.

The savage Drust saw us as an ominous entity, and the degenerate half-giants waged war against us, destroying the small cities we built in Tiragarde Sound.

We were forced to go to sea again and finally settled in Mechagon.

Guided by Blake, she roughly recounted what happened to the mechanical dwarves after they escaped from Khaz Modan thousands of years ago. Others were confused, but Blake and Sephiel looked at each other.

They both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

The stinky pirate grabbed Trixie, who was probably going crazy because of a damaged central chip, and asked:

Have your forerunners been to the Great Desert of Uldum? Your knowledge of Titan engineering was stolen from, uh, learned in the Forge of Origin, right?

No wonder I said that your mad king’s ‘Mechanical Return to Origin’ plan is so familiar.

It turned out to be a copy of the ‘Titan Destruction Restart’ plan.

You also know Uldum?

Trixie was stunned for a moment, and the mechanical gnome said suspiciously:

No, according to the data records left by the forerunners, there are defense devices left by the Titans on the land in that place, and mortals cannot enter at all.

The sky and ocean are close to the sky wall. There are big storms all year round, and ships cannot get close to it at all.

You can't have been there!

Our pioneers used underground drills for six months to dig out a tunnel. They narrowly escaped death and were almost buried by the flooded sand.

Hey, what do you stupid dwarf know?

Seifer put his hands on his hips proudly and said:

My captain is a prophet! Prophet, do you understand? The whole world has no secrets in his eyes.

Well, yes, I am.

Blake cooperated with a proud expression.

But then he asked:

Why are you going to the Forge of Origin? Judging from the technology and information you had when you left, you should go to Northrend.

Isn’t that the birthplace of civilization for you dwarfs, humans and dwarves?

We're going. The first stop for the forerunners is Northrend.

Trixie replied reluctantly in a low voice:

But we lost half of our compatriots there, but we didn't even enter the gate of the magnificent Titan City on the top of the Storm Peaks. They studied the data collected outside the Titan City and later moved to Uldum.

The forerunners said that something terrible happened in that magnificent city of creation, and they left behind data so that we cannot go there again until we understand the mystery of the mechanical origin.

In fact, before King Mechagon went completely crazy, the mechanical homing bomb he designed was never designed for destruction.

He wants to use the mechanical power of returning to the source he made to rescue the ancestors of our dwarfs and those respectable guardians. For this reason, he did not hesitate to take the risk and made the first sample of mechanical origin test.

Then

He has become like this now, and all the plans for salvation have been transformed into extremely offensive weapons of destruction under his crazy will.

No one knew when he would complete that terrible design.

But I know that once he completes that 'big bomb', the entire Kul Tiras will be destroyed in an instant. Well, that's not correct.

Perhaps those lucky ones can be 'reborn' in another, purer and more powerful form.

Do you mean to return to your ancestors and become an Iron Vrykul?

Blake curled his lips and said:

Forget it, I think humans are pretty good in their current life form. I have no plans to 'change race' yet.

The dwarfs and warlocks nearby were dumbfounded.

They felt that the communication between the captain and the mechanical dwarf was completely encrypted speech. They could clearly understand the words, but when combined together they were confused.

What's the Forge of Origin, what's the City of Titans, what's the mechanical return to the origin, what's the destruction of the Iron Vrykul and Kul Tiras, and so on.

It sounds so interesting, but also so scary.

It seems that the information your king received back then was incomplete. Your first stop should be to the ruins of Uldaman, which is not far from Khaz Modan.

There is a 'key' there that can open the City of Titans.

You went to Ulduar recklessly without getting the key, and it was natural for you to be wiped out by the group. What I admire even more is that you dared to rush into the Forge of Origin against the Titan energy radiation.

Blake pouted and said:

Your king probably didn't go crazy not long ago. He may have gone crazy when he was hit by energy thousands of years ago. His flesh and blood body was exposed to Titan energy that was far higher than the energy level of the earthly world without any safety measures.

He was lucky he didn't melt on the spot.

As for the Tol'vir who guard the temple.

Okay, I admit, those guys are indeed loyal enough but also ignorant enough. They are indeed no match for you dwarves when it comes to playing tricks on your mind.

After saying that, the pirate's eyeballs on his shoulders turned over and stared at Overback and Kelsey who were writing furiously behind him. He said quietly:

The dwarves have been searching for their origins and mission all over the world, but they don't know that the answer to everything actually lies underground in the barren land separated from Khaz Modan by the mountains.

It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.

Okay, don’t remember what I said. After Brian Bronzebeard returns to the Eastern Continent from Zandalar, he will have plenty of time for you to study these things slowly.

Now, write down this coordinate!

Blake threw the three coordinates calculated from the light spot of the Eye of Invention that was constantly shining in his hand to Overback, and he said;

Assemble your rotorcraft. I have cracked Mechagon's secret. If you want to enter the island, you have to go from an altitude of more than three thousand meters. They have reserved a coordinate in the sky that will not be attacked by ground fire. Only by rushing in along that coordinate can we land safely.

We had to reach that height before we could see the full view of Mechagon.

Oh, that's good. You actually figured it out.

Trixie laughed and said to Blake:

It seems that there are wise men among you humans, but the coordinates recorded by the Eye of Invention were many years ago. Now that Mechagon Island is in a mess, the safe entry point recorded by the coordinates has become invalid.

You must be prepared to descend rapidly under anti-aircraft fire.

Based on the primitiveness of your rotorcraft, I have to tell you very pessimistically that as long as it is hit by one shot, you will be finished.

As she spoke, the mechanical dwarf quickly took out a strange black backpack from the storage compartment of her body and carried it behind her back. She said:

Fortunately, I made a temporary flight backpack before. If you follow me later, be sure not to fly around, if you don't want to become a roasted bird.

(The rest will be left for tomorrow~)
