Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 724 The great revenge is avenged, but the ears are pointed
Two months have passed since Iron Peak Castle received double bad news. The king of Iron Peak Castle, known as the dwarf giant, sat silently in the shadows as usual, seeming to mourn his lost compatriots and still have hope of returning to the embrace of the Mountain Kingdom. Nowhere in sight.

King Kazador's actions affected the people. The clan warriors who were competing with the Greenskins of Black Rock Castle for the Mad Dog Gap turned from offense to defense and began to wait for the next step.

Originally, under the leadership of the High King, Iron Peak Castle had seen the possibility of returning to the embrace of the Mountain Kingdom, but with the bad news to the north and west, hope became extremely slim again.

But life still has to go on, just like a dwarf drinking beer. It has been like this for thousands of years, and it has become accustomed to the alternating state between hope and disappointment.

The dwarf is as solid as a rock, but he often encounters a fate like the wind.

But as two guests appeared in front of the city gate where the face of Granny was engraved on Iron Peak Castle, they vaguely broke the gloomy calm.

The Hammer Warrior who was guarding the city poked his head out and found an extra-large human being, next to him was a warrior with a black cloak.

Maybe they were imperial people who came to Tiefeng Castle to buy equipment?

With this doubt, the bearded dwarf asked loudly in Imperial language,
"Who are you two and what is the purpose of coming to Tiefeng Castle?"

The warrior, whose whole body was covered by a black cloak, stretched out his hand and took out a ferocious, extra-large green-skinned head. One of the teeth seemed to be soaked in venom and became rotten.

And judging from the deadpan expression on his face, this particularly waaaagh kid must have been very good at fighting during his lifetime.

The Hammer Warrior's eyes widened, and when he saw the green-skinned head, he exclaimed in disbelief, "Golfan Rottenfang!"

King Kazador has a personal hatred. His son was tied to the throne and stripped of his beard by the greenskins who sneaked into Iron Peak Castle. He was tortured to the point of going crazy. Several of his relatives were always trapped in Black Rock Castle and suffered bad luck.

The dwarf lord swore that whoever returns his relatives to Iron Peak Castle will get half of his wealth, and whoever returns the body will get a quarter. If you kill Gorfan Rottenfang, you can choose any one from the treasure trove. thing.

And as the invisible magic cloak was removed, the female dwarf who had gone through many vicissitudes of life finally stood in front of the gate of her hometown.

His figure was very haggard and his eyes were full of tears.

The Hammer Warrior looked excited and pressed his hands on the stone railing of the stand, shaking excitedly, "Queen Dhoni!"

He immediately gave the order and shouted to the mustaches who were watching, "Quick, let the king come over!"

After hearing the news, Kazador greeted the two warriors who avenged him with the highest courtesy. Damian had already heard of the name, and the other dragon prince, the dwarf king selectively ignored them. They had already used cloaks to hide their identities. Don't worry too much.

The long-lost joyful atmosphere appeared in Iron Peak Castle. Bruni, who revealed his identity, refused half of the wealth promised by Cazador. He only selected a few items of great significance to Caledor, which showed that this trip had an important purpose. Need to meet Torek Ironbrow.

Kazadol held up his beer and subconsciously wanted to refuse when he heard this, but when he saw the green head on the wooden table in his peripheral vision, he chose to agree.

If it comes with a sword, the dwarves will naturally make it understand the stakes, but if it comes with a gift, it is also a deep hatred.

Choosing to refuse would be treating the oath as child's play, and killing the dragon prince on the spot would be nothing more than an act of venting anger.

The noisy celebration banquet washed away some of the depression caused by the bad news from the north. After the seven-day program ended, Damian accepted the hospitality of Iron Peak Castle as a guest and competed with the dwarf giant in martial arts.

Bruni, the person in charge, has already entered Tiemei's craftsman's workshop.Before entering, I heard an energetic scolding voice.

"How did I teach you? The angle of the swing of the hammer is off by four degrees. How many hidden dangers can this small mistake cause?! Then train the basic movements [-] times, and then enter the workshop after passing the test!"

The escort signaled Bruni to wait here for a while. He needed to explain to Torek Ironbrow that someone was visiting.

The Dragon Prince nodded and walked to the wall to lean on, mentally reviewing the information he had collected over the past few days.

Torek Ironbrow is the youngest master rune blacksmith. His work style is no different from that of traditional bearded dwarves. He questions innovation and sticks to tradition.

In terms of craftsmanship, he is already considered the most skilled blacksmith in Iron Peak Castle. He only needs to wait for the death of another older Rune Lord, and the anvil will naturally fall into his hands.

Rubbing the uneven vibranium plaque in his hand, Bruni was not sure whether Torek would accept the excuse and embark on the path of origin. It was a bit too fantasy no matter how he looked at it.

After waiting for about an hour, which was considered fast according to the efficiency of the dwarves, the dwarf, whose eyebrows were like iron bars welded to his face, walked out with a hammer and questioned loudly,
"Pointy Ears, what do you want to do with me? Let me explain in advance that you will eliminate the hatred for Kazador, but it does not mean that the hatred between you and me will be eliminated. One code will be the same."

What a dwarf-like answer.Bruni felt a little emotional in his heart. Iron Peak Castle is the most stubbornly traditional fortress in the Mountain Kingdom. If he hadn't spent some effort to send a gift to Black Rock Castle, he might not even be able to enter the gate, let alone find Torek.

The Dragon Prince pulled down his cloak and looked around the noisy craftsman's workshop. Although the sound of hitting the anvil was very pleasant, this was not the place to talk.

The dwarf obviously did not intend to guess the elf's thoughts, and continued to emphasize that he should explain immediately, otherwise he would be driven away.

Bruni took out the vibranium plate in his arms and showed the front side to Torek. The marks of the three main gods on it clearly entered his eyes.

After seeing the dwarf's surprised look, the elf said naturally,

"You are really noisy. Let's talk in another place. The sound of hammers here lacks beauty."

The blacksmith took the elf to a relatively secluded place and asked anxiously about the vibranium plaque, the ancient holy words plus the three main gods, and the integrated aura of divine power. This was undoubtedly an important item related to the fate of the dwarves. .

After finding a stone and sitting down, Bruni handed the vibranium plaque to Iron Eyebrow. As for whether the rune blacksmith could understand the ancient holy words on it, this was not something he should consider.

Torek, who took the vibranium plate with both hands, looked extremely pious. First, he bowed his head to this object that may symbolize the three main gods. He whispered silently that he had no intention of offending the ancestors and that he was guilty of many sins. He began to try to analyze the ancient holy text word by word.

According to legend, the dwarf runes were created by the mother goddess Valaya, but any matter can find its origin. The knowledge that the rune blacksmiths regard as a treasure has its origin in the mother goddess's transformation of the ancient holy words and used by the giant toads. The text was used as a blueprint to construct a writing system suitable for dwarves.

Tie Mei could only vaguely guess one-third of the content on the front, simply because it was written by the ancient sage himself. Only when it was turned over to the back, could he parse out the meaning of the words written by the Mother Goddess through the power of the three main gods.

In fact, the content is very small, and it is something that the dwarf executives know secretly, but the meaning is extremely important - the three main gods were born from Lustria, and went to the old world with a mission to destroy all enemies of non-order.

After completing the analysis, Torek whispered that he had committed an act of transgression, and carefully placed the vibranium plaque on the table. This was such an important item. In terms of inheritance, it already symbolized the theocratic orthodoxy of the Mountain Kingdom. .

As a rune blacksmith who values ​​tradition the most, if it weren't for the presence of a pointed ear next to him, he would have wanted to kneel in front of the vibranium plaque on the spot and pray that the gods had not abandoned the Mountain Kingdom.
