Journey to Azeroth

Chapter 45 The Black Iron Dwarf
Return to the fork in the direction you came, and go the other way.

Everyone kept moving towards the direction with high concentration of fire elements. After walking in the sewer for nearly half an hour, a thick black door blocked the way forward.

A guard steps up and tries to open the door.

"Touch! Touch!" There was no change in the door except for the sound of the door being pushed.

Dunn stepped up and yanked it out, but the door still remained unchanged.

"Why don't you call out and try, maybe someone inside will watch the door for me," Carl said to Dunn, seeing everyone looking at him with idiot eyes, he shrugged, "It's just a suggestion."

"Let me try," a guard at the end of the line walked out of the line, his face gave off a vicious look, and his demeanor was quite wretched.

"This is Ross. He was a senior lockpicker before joining the security station," Dunn explained. "This is a large team of technical talents. I specially invited them here to help with this task."

As expected of the master, Ross stepped forward and fiddled with the door for a few minutes, only to hear the sound of "Pa!", and the door was opened with a gap.

"Okay," Ross nodded to Dunn and returned to the team.

Creaking, the guards slowly opened the gate.

"Be careful!" Roland shot suddenly, grabbed Carl's shoulders, and pulled his head down several tens of centimeters. At the same time, a rough crossbow bolt passed through the position where Carl's head was a second ago.

Several guards rushed to the door and put their shields in front of them to protect the people behind them.

Karl is now a little envious of the night elves' low-light vision. The doorway is pitch black, and he can see everything except a few red dots. Roland can accurately capture the trajectory of the crossbow arrows in such a dark environment, which is really an enviable race. talent.

A green divine light appeared in Roland's hands.

"The roots are entangled!"

Seeing the expectant eyes of everyone, Roland shook his head, "Failed, there are no activated seeds around them."

One after another, the crossbow arrows were continuously shot at the shield in front of everyone, making crisp noises. Dunn was a little anxious: "Mr. Roland, can you see their positions clearly?"

Roland showed a thoughtful look on his face, and then said: "The direction we are facing is 12 o'clock, and there are one at 1 o'clock, 3 o'clock, and 10 o'clock."

"Carl, what can I do?"

"The fire spells of the evocation system are very ineffective against creatures with elementalization, and my offensive arcane spells are all directional," Carl quickly answered Dunn's question, and then said: "I can use burst The fireball disrupts the enemy, but doesn't do much damage to the enemy."

"enough."

"Fire Armor."

"A powerful explosive fireball."

In order to ensure the interference effect, Karl used the spell-enhanced super magic to increase the power of the explosive fireball, and a crimson fireball was thrown into the darkness behind the door by Karl.

A loud noise followed by a violent explosion came from the darkness, and everyone stared dumbfounded at the damage caused by the fireball.

"Light Art!"

"charge!"

Taking advantage of the destruction caused by the explosive fireball, followed by the vision created by the light spell, the guards put their shields in front of them and charged into the darkness behind the door.

The battle ended quickly. While the enemy was still avoiding the explosion from the burst fireball, the crowd surrounded them, and then rushed forward to end the battle.

The hall at the entrance is quite large, and there are several wooden tables scattered around in the hall. Some fresh food and daily necessities are placed on the wooden tables. Behind the hall are several obstacles that have been set up. The enemies just now are in these bunkers. Shooting at the crowd from behind, it looks like these enemies have been living here for a while.

On the other side of the hall, Carl found that the collapse that Druid Roland said blocked the road seemed to be man-made.

Several dead bodies lay behind the barrier.

The corpse was less than 1 meters tall, but it had thick limbs and great strength. It had rock-like skin, red magma-like blood, blood-red eyes, hair and beard all emitting red fluorescence.

"Is this a dwarf?" Dunn asked everyone's opinions in a questioning tone. Judging from their stature, these people were dwarves, but there was nothing similar to dwarves in other places.

"This is the Dark Iron Dwarf," Karl knelt down and answered Dunn's question with affirmative tone.

"Dark Iron Dwarf?"

Hearing everyone's doubtful words, Carl couldn't help but said: "You really should read more books, the books in the Dalaran library are very clear."

The Dark Iron Dwarves are one of the three major clans of the Dwarves. Hundreds of years ago, the Dark Iron Dwarves broke with the Bronzebeard Dwarves and the Wildhammer Dwarves.The Dark Iron Dwarves practice dark magic, which their kin cannot tolerate.The Bronzebeards banished the Dark Irons, who established their own kingdom of Thaurissan in the Redridge Mountains.

To defend against the combined forces of the Bronzebeard and Wildhammer dwarves, Thaurissan drew the power of fire from the depths of the world and used it as a weapon against the combined armies of the other two clans.

The king of the black iron dwarves—Witch King Thaurissan cast powerful magic to try to save his kingdom. The anger greatly enhanced the power of Thaurissan's spells. The powerful spells broke through the elemental plane of fire and came into contact with the world sealed by the Titans. Fire Elemental Lord Ragnaros on the Elemental Plane of Fire.

Thaurissan's spell inadvertently helped Ragnaros leave the elemental plane, summoning him to the surface of Azeroth, the earth trembled and twisted, and the Balrog's rebirth caused a devastating explosion. Immediately killing the Witch King, he also blasted the surrounding mountains into rubble.

Since then, the Dark Iron Dwarves have been enslaved for hundreds of years.

Living in a high concentration of fire elements for hundreds of years has gradually changed the body structure of the black iron dwarves. The flesh and blood of the body is gradually infected by the elements, the skin becomes dark and hard, and the blood becomes hot. Now the black iron dwarves have nothing but It has nothing to do with dwarves outside of the shape, and the description of humanoid elemental creatures is more suitable for them now.

"These black iron dwarves are very similar to the black wolves that haunt the civilian areas at night," Dunn tapped the dwarves on the ground with his shield, making a sound like knocking on a rock, and continued, "It seems that these black iron dwarves are the real people behind the scenes. fierce."

"Come and see what I found," a guard greeted everyone from one side of the hall, "here is a cave."

Everyone walked over and found a cave hidden behind the bunker. It was 2 meters high and 1 meter wide, and it was better for two people to pass through side by side.

Rather than calling it a cave, it is more accurate to call it a tunnel. These dark iron dwarves have given full play to their racial talents and dug a tunnel leading to other places in the Dalaran sewer.

The tunnel was very deep, and there was no end to be seen under the light of the light technique. The roiling heat wave came from the tunnel. Karl turned his head and said to the people behind him, "It seems that this is the source of what we are looking for."
