Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 734 65. Alert! alarm! Intrusion Alert!

"buzz buzz"

Near noon, the expedition, mostly gnomes, crossed the unique frost-covered ridge of Tiragarde Sound in five planes.

The clatter of goblin gyroplanes echoed in the sky above the vanished glacier, making Laike's head ache.

His head hurts not only because of the unique operating noise of the goblin gyroplane, but also because of the non-stop complaints from the little dwarf Kelsey who is driving the gyroplane in front of him.

It's filled with disdain for the crude creations of goblin engineering and fancy admiration for gnome engineering.

But the problem is that the magic eyeball on the shoulder of Bo Laike, wearing a flight helmet, flips to look at the small midget jet glider next to him, which flies no less than a goblin gyroplane.

And there is still billowing black smoke behind the buttocks, which is very environmentally friendly at first glance.

This is the reality proof of Big Brother Don't Laugh at Second Brother.

No matter whether it is goblin engineering or dwarf engineering, no excellent aircraft has been developed at this stage. Although the design ideas of the two are quite different, in Laike's view, they both have a long way to go.

but

"I heard that the aircraft used by the mechanical gnomes to carry supplies is electric!"

Boo Laike interrupts Kelsey's rant about the goblin gyroplane, saying aloud high in the air:

"Since you are all dwarves, there is not much difference in intelligence. When will you be able to make that kind of quiet and efficient flying machine?"

"Uh, well, it will take some time."

Kelsey was dumbfounded immediately.

The little dwarf pushed his engineering goggles and said embarrassingly:

"The project has been established and is being researched with the participation of the smartest mechanics in all of Gnomeregan. Maybe there will be good news soon."

"Project? I think the folder has just been created."

Bo Laike mumbled under his breath.

He looked down from this high altitude, and the mountains covered with frost had been crossed. From here, he could see the large pastures under the snow-capped mountains of Kennings Camp and the knights roaming on them.

Looking to the northwest, one can even vaguely see the tall military access wall standing in front of the guard ridge.

That wall-like building is called "Daelin's Gate".

It is said that after the end of the Orc War, it was funded and established by local maritime merchants. On the one hand, it was to strengthen the defense force of the guard ridge at the junction with the Drustvar Mountains.

On the other hand, this method of "covering a spectacle" is also used to flatter the admiral. I heard that a coastal defense fort in Stormsong Valley has also been renamed Fort Dailin.

Have to say, they did a good job.

Whether Dai Lin likes it or not, at least the Kul Tiras fleet likes it.

They believe that the military facilities built for victory are both practical and commemorative of boasting martial arts, which is a real "virtuous government", so a trend quickly formed in the local area.

The bards of Boralus Harbor have even begun to compose poems for the wall.

"Below! It's just ahead, see it? The col under the glacier, next to the big hot spring area, descend!"

Bu Laike's magic eye is blessed with eagle eye, and his eyesight is very good.

He quickly found the iconic terrain while cruising at high altitude, and at his call, the formation of planes in the air changed direction and moved towards that place to lower the high ground.

"Hey, why is the water so dark?"

Kelsey Steelspark, who was driving a gyroplane and wearing mechanical goggles, adjusted the focus of the glasses. She hovered in the air for a few weeks and found something abnormal below.

She exclaimed:

"Why does the lake water feel weird? It's so viscous. Wait, that's oil! It's crude oil!"

"Yeah, crude oil lake."

Bo Laike said in a tone of uninspired:

"A few years ago, goblins tried to extract oil here, but they were rejected by the authorities.

Local people know that there is crude oil in the lake, but you have also seen the terrain here, it is difficult to transport them out, so they have been idle here.

Speaking of which, if there really was a city of mechanical gnomes here, then this lake must be their energy source. "

"Well, this guess is very reasonable! We need further observation."

Kelsey nodded.

As an engineering technician, she knew that crude oil was a necessity for many engineering machines. Although the gnomes rarely used it, the goblins regarded it as a "strategic resource."

And such a big oil lake in front of him is indeed enough to support the daily operation of a small mechanical city.

"Land! Land!"

Overspark, the master craftsman on the other side, was even more excited. While taking pictures with the dwarves' mechanical cameras on the plane, he yelled at the expedition team to land.

All the gnomes are excited.

They seem to have smelled the rust of the big metal garbage heap.

They thought it was a good start.

Bu Laike jumped down first, and the watchman's cloak behind him folded into two wings in the air, carrying him to glide in the air, and fell all the way towards the direction of the big hot spring area.

Nearly ten minutes later, when the gnomes were ready to set off to move towards the mechanical ruins, Bu Laike rushed over with a group of guys waiting in the hot spring area.

"Yo, a bunch of cute little gnomes."

Little Xingxing, who was sitting in front of the magic carpet and steering the direction, opened her eyes wide and looked at a group of fully armed dwarf expeditions in front of her. She yelled and said:

"Gnome is my favorite. Many members of our blue dragons like to turn into gnomes when they go out, it will show our intelligence!

After all, in human society, gnomes have always been a symbol of wisdom. "

"Dwarves are also a symbol of strength and weakness in human society. They are really suitable for you, my stupid little star. Well, let's not talk about this, Fenner, let's lead the way."

Bu Laike sneered at Little Xingxing, and gestured to Fenner who was wearing a hunting suit.

The stupid warrior snorted, and took out the map from her waist that she had drawn when she came here a few times before to investigate. In the past period of time, she has come here twice in the name of hunting and relaxing according to Laike's request.

She is very familiar with this place.

And the little Jaina behind the magic carpet is introducing the identity of Mr. Bo Laike to her younger brother in a low voice.

Of course it was "beautified".

"Mr. Bu Laike is a master assassin, he has noble character, helped me and my mentor several times, saved many people, and defeated terrible enemies.

At the same time, he is also a learned man.

He knows many secrets. There are no secrets in this world in his eyes. You should respect him like you respect a scholar. "

Jaina embellished the image of the pirate as much as possible.

As a result, Laike turned around and said to Tenred in a gentle tone:

"Trust your sister's words, little prince, I am indeed as perfect as she described, you must treat me as a believable big brother, and you will do whatever I ask you to do.

For example, I want you to jump into the nearby oil lake.

Hehe, I won't do that, don't be afraid.

Of course, you can't believe everything the mages say. For example, she didn't tell you that besides being a master assassin, I am also a great pirate.

But I believe that you, who are so cute, won't tell everyone you see this news out loud, right? "

"Bo Laike!"

Before Tandred could react in a daze, Little Jaina screamed angrily:

"I'm trying to protect you!

Once the fool Tenred slips the tongue, you will be hunted by the entire Kul Tiras navy in no time! They will not appreciate your spiritual beauty like I do. "

"I'm not stupid!"

Tandred immediately refuted.

But neither Jaina nor Boo Laike paid him any attention.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid."

Bu Laike waved his hand, and pulled the little Xingxing who was tilting his head and making faces at Fenner to his side.

He said:

"I am the great Terminator of World Destroyer and a loyal human servant of His Royal Highness Little Xingxing, the savior of Azeroth! If your soldiers want to catch me, they must first pass the level of His Highness Little Xingxing.

Are you right?

My honorable highness. "

"Hmph, that's a good title. I like the tone of this speech very much. Remember to speak like this in the future."

Little Xingxing nodded in satisfaction, stood in front of Bu Laike with his hips crossed, coughed twice, and said to Tanred:

"Listen well, your highness, little princess, if you dare to reveal the identity of my human servant, I will use a terrifying dragon language magic to truly turn you into a 'little princess'.

I still have many beautiful skirts for you to wear. "

The wicked blue dragon added in a threatening tone:

"You can ask your sister who is a mage to see if I can do it."

"Hey, don't you scare him."

Fenner waved her fist and knocked on Little Xingxing's head, causing Princess Blue Dragon to scream. The big sister of the Proudmoore family glanced back at Tenred.

she says:

"Tanrad is a very smart kid, he knows what to do. Go around, don't be stunned here, when I came here last time, I found something very interesting.

Just took you to have a look.

Come with me, this rubbish dump looks dirty, but if you go the right way, there are really holes in it. Also, don't touch those electric coils, they occasionally release lightning

Don't ask me how I know. "

After finishing speaking, the big sister immediately led the way, and the dwarves, armed with all kinds of strange instruments, followed behind her.

Little Xingxing put away the magic carpet, and behind Laike, he was like a follower, shaking his beautiful hair and asking questions.

Jaina and Tenred also advanced on foot, with Sienigosa at the end as the team's defense. The Steam Princess knight held the rune sword of the Green Dragonflight in one hand and a dragonman shield in the other.

Always be ready to block possible dangers for His Royal Highness Little Xingxing.

But as far as the level of force of this group of people is concerned, even if something really jumps out, they will definitely be helpless.

The crowd followed Fenner into the garbage dump, surrounded by "mountains" of weird metal waste, and some weathered wreckage of buildings. Those ruined walls were covered with vines, and they had been abandoned for a long time.

At least it is calculated in a hundred years, or even a thousand years.

And the dwarves were observing all kinds of things piled up on the metal garbage dumps all the way.

Especially those gears of different sizes. Fortunately, each kind of gear will be carefully extracted by the dwarf engineers and put into the boxes they carry with them.

The gnomes were discussing intensely, chattering loudly.

Prince Tandred wanted to go over and listen, but all he heard were some unintelligible engineering terms, which made him quickly lose interest.

He turned his attention back to Bo Laike, who was talking to Little Star.

He was very curious, what was going on with this man in a tall hat and weird eyepatch? Why do my two sisters and the blue dragon ladies defend him and trust him so much?

Also, how dare he, a pirate, set foot on the land of Kul Tiras?

Isn't he afraid of being chased by the navy?

Is this person so courageous?

"I'm very brave, little prince. It's not a good habit to speak ill of others in your heart."

Just when Tenrad was thinking about these questions, suddenly there was a sinister voice in his ear, like a phantom sound, which made the little prince nervous all of a sudden.

Looking left and right, he also held the short-barreled firecracker at his waist.

"Bo Laike! You are not allowed to bully him with psychic magic!"

Little Jaina stood in front of Tenred, who didn't understand what was going on, and screamed at Bo Laike:

"He's still a kid!"

"You're a child too."

The words with Nathrezim's tone also sounded in Jaina's ears, and Bu Laike said with a little helplessness:

"It's just that you learned to control your mind from old Merry, and it's hard for me to hear your heart. Take it easy, little Jaina, I'm just saying hello to your brother.

You didn't tell him about your big brother did you?

This little idiot doesn't look like the type to keep a secret. "

"No."

Jaina replied briefly, then turned her head to Tandred, who touched her ear, and said curiously:

"Don't play with him, he is a bad guy and will lead you down."

"Look! I found this in the trash last time! How's it going? Strange, isn't it?"

In front of her, Fenner also reached the end of the pile of mechanical garbage she had penetrated last time, and took out a strange gadget with only half of it left from the hole in the ground covered by leaves.

That looks like a cheetah.

But the whole body is made of black metal.

The metal plates that make up its body have long been decayed and weathered, but from inside the broken mechanical body, complex coils and some unidentifiable engineering modules can still be seen.

The metal leopard's eyes are very strange, composed entirely of delicate agate gemstones.

It also has a movable iron palate, which is decorated with file-like teeth, and claws made of metal sharp blades like short knives make one's scalp tingle.

The most peculiar thing is that there is a launcher similar to the muzzle of a musket at its throat.

"Put it down!"

Overspark screamed when he saw it.

Fenna, who was so frightened to show off her "trophy", let go of her hand, and the half of the metal leopard was smashed to the ground. The dwarfs screamed and rushed over, just like perverts who saw a beautiful woman.

A group of people gathered around the wreckage, chattering and pulling out various types of wrenches, rolled up their sleeves, and seemed to be preparing to dismantle this seemingly advanced thing on the spot.

"Hey guys!"

Bu Laike rushed forward, pushed aside the gnomes who had activated the "research mania" one by one, and kicked the broken metal leopard aside, he shouted:

"We are here to find traces of the mechanical gnomes, not for you to pick up junk! You can dismantle it anytime you want, now, hurry up and find clues, okay?

We have three princesses and a little prince here!

You disrespectful dwarves, don't you plan to let these 'big shots' spend the night with you in the garbage dump?

So, hurry up and act, shall we?

move!

Guys, get your smart brains on and let it go."

"Dididi!"

Before Bo Laike could finish his sentence, some kind of shrill siren suddenly sounded from the entire dead garbage dump.

The trembling dwarves trembled.

The pirate suddenly looked back.

The magic eyeball on his shoulder flew out and circled at high altitude, and he saw that the abandoned coils in the northeast of the garbage dump began to twine with dazzling electric arcs, as if some equipment had been activated.

"Where's Kelsey? Who saw Kelsey? Where did she go?"

Overspark screamed afterward.

They thought they had lost their compatriots, but a few seconds later, the nimble Kelsey jumped out from the other side of the garbage pile, holding a section of cut cable in her hand.

The little dwarf with putty on his face said to everyone in front of him in an embarrassed tone:

"Well, guys, I just spliced ​​together two wires I found in the junk, and then, I seem to activate a pretty awesome thing."

"Attack! Get down!"

Sienne yelled.

Like the most qualified bodyguard, she rushed over and pressed the bewildered little Xingxing to the ground, protecting the screaming little Xingxing with her body.

Bu Laike also reacted quickly. When he disappeared and reappeared, he had already grabbed Jaina and Tenred one by one and threw them to Fenner.

He himself flipped over on the spot with a handsome watchman, and with a standard upside-down golden hook, he accurately kicked back the two round things that were shot from the side.

"Boom, boom"

Two loud bangs and flames splashed in all directions.

Amidst the screams of the cowardly gnomes, Bo Laike glanced over there, and several swift figures were rushing out of the flames towards this side.

okay.

These unreliable dwarfs never disappoint when it comes to making a living!
