Start a core cabin

“……………………………………”

The entire hall of Stormwind Fortress fell into a dead silence at this moment.

Whether it was the guards, the dragonmen, or King Varian, they all stood there like stone statues. Looking at the black dragon corpse in front of them, which had completely lost its breath of life, the latter had collapsed to the ground, his head was smashed unevenly, and even the brain was spurting out. It looked dead.

“Bang.”

Duanmu Huai picked up the war hammer, then shook off the blood foam on it and looked at everyone.

“It’s okay, I’ll go back first.”

“Huh?”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, everyone came back to their senses. They saw another noble standing next to King Varian suddenly alert and then pointed at the dragonmen.

“Catch them!!”

The next battle was basically no suspense. The dragonmen saw their master being killed so easily, and they were already scared to death. They wanted to turn around and run away, and had no intention of fighting at all. Soon, the brave guards came forward and took him away. Duanmu Huai also nodded to King Varian, and then turned around to leave.

"Please, please wait a moment, this warrior!"

Seeing Duanmu Huai was about to leave, King Varian, who had been stunned, came to his senses and shouted loudly, and Duanmu Huai turned his head to look at him.

"Anything else?"

"No, that..."

Looking at Duanmu Huai carrying a war hammer in front of him, King Varian was speechless for a while, but he was the lord of a country after all, and he was stunned for a while and quickly gathered his mind.

"You helped us a lot... I am here to thank you..."

"Oh, it's okay."

Duanmu Huai nodded silently and replied casually, which made Varian not know what to say for a while. At this time, the noble next to him hurriedly spoke up and found a way out for his king.

"Um...Excuse me, did you know that the Countess was the incarnation of the black dragon?"

To be honest, everyone present was confused. Even though they saw the body of the black dragon with their own eyes, they still couldn't believe their eyes. Or their brains refused to believe such a ridiculous thing. In fact, with the death of the black dragon, everyone gradually came to their senses and found that their memories seemed to be confused. Thinking about it carefully, there was no such person as Countess Prestor in Stormwind before, but for some reason, including Varian, everyone seemed to think that it was natural for the Countess to appear here.

I didn't react before, but now thinking back, everyone was sweating, but Duanmu Huai seemed very calm, and didn't seem surprised at all.

"Of course, I saw it as soon as I arrived."

"As soon as I arrived... ..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the noble twitched his eyes.

"Why didn't you remind us?"

"I thought she was your dog, who knows what's going on."

Duanmu Huai spread his hands helplessly. For Duanmu Huai, who is a true god, the black dragon's tricks can't be hidden from him at all. After all, no matter how she changes her form, the appearance of her soul will not change. But Duanmu Huai didn't care too much. After all, this black dragon was standing next to it, not sitting on the throne. Who knows if it is the dog raised by this king.

On the contrary, if he saw this black dragon sitting on the throne as soon as he came in, Duanmu Huai would definitely hit it with a hammer without saying a word.

The dragon clan also wants to rule humans? Dream about your Spring and Autumn period.

"Nothing is going on, then I'm leaving."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand, then turned around and left the hall. Seeing him leave, Varian wanted to open his mouth to call Duanmu Huai again, but was stopped by the nobles around him.

"Your Majesty, let's deal with the current problem first."

"This...................."

Hearing the words of the ministers around him, Varian came back to his senses and looked around. When he looked at the corridor in front of him again, there was no trace of Duanmu Huai.

"Okay."

Varian had to retract his thoughts and nodded.

"Let's deal with the problem here first."

Duanmu Huai didn't care about the chaos in Stormwind Fortress. After leaving Stormwind Fortress, he returned to the hotel and began to enjoy the local food. As for the next stop, Duanmu Huai has decided to go to the place called Ahn'Qiraj, kill the ancient god sealed in it, and then devour and absorb its power.

"You're back, uncle."

Back in the guest room, Naruse Mio and Akemi Homura also came over curiously.

"How is the king?"

"Totally useless, pretty useless."

Duanmu Huai shook his head and sighed silently.

"He's just a piece of trash. He doesn't even know he's being controlled by someone. Oh... It seems we have to find someone else."

"No way, isn't that the king?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's sigh, Akemi Homura was somewhat surprised.

"What's wrong with the king? Anyone in this world can be a king, but being a good king is another matter. This Varian... In my opinion, his level as a king is just average. Of course, in the final analysis, he is not strong enough, otherwise these problems would not be a problem."

When the black dragon recovered, Duanmu Huai observed Varian, who was so scared that he stood there motionless. If the black dragon didn't seem to want to kill him, it would have killed Varian with one claw. From this point of view, Duanmu Huai sentenced Varian to death in his heart.

The character of a ruler is not important, what is important is whether he has a firm will. In Duanmu Huai's opinion, Varian is not as useful as the wandering merchant in Dardanelle. This Storm Kingdom is in this state, I am afraid it is hopeless.

Hey, what should I do next? I remember that there are only a few human kingdoms left here, besides Storm Kingdom, there are Kul Tiras, Dalaran and Gilneas.

I heard that Gilneas is full of werewolves now, and Duanmu Huai no longer regards them as humans. Dalaran seems to be a place where all races live together, so only Kul Tiras is left. It happens that this country is also located in Kalimdor. Duanmu Huai plans to pass by Kul Tiras when he goes to Ahn'Qiraj to see what the situation is there.

Just as Duanmu Huai was enjoying the food in the guest room while complaining with the two people, the chaotic Stormwind Fortress finally calmed down.

Well, for the time being.

"Huh..."

Looking at the floor in front of him, King Varian's expression was still a little stiff. The body of the black dragon had been dragged away, and the blood on the floor had been washed away. Only the sunken ground proved everything that had happened here before.

Because the situation happened too suddenly before, everyone knew nothing except that a black dragon concealed its identity and sneaked into the Storm Kingdom. It was not until most of the affairs were handled at this time that they had a detailed meeting with Marshal Reginald, who had previously exposed the identity of the black dragon, and then learned the true identity of the black dragon.

The daughter of the legendary terrible dragon Deathwing - Black Dragon Princess Onyxia.

But to be honest, even Varian couldn't believe this fact.

It's not that they doubted Marshal Reginald. This old minister had made outstanding contributions. He once raided Medivh's Tower with former Stormwind General Anduin Lothar and was loyal to Stormwind Kingdom. Logically speaking, there is no doubt about what he said.

Well, logically speaking.

What if it's not logical?

The reason is very simple.

Deathwing's daughter, Black Dragon Princess Onyxia, was killed by a hammer? ? ?

Do you believe it or do you believe that I am the King of Titans?

Although everyone saw the scene of Duanmu Huai killing the black dragon with a hammer, they couldn't accept this result rationally! Logically speaking, for a being like this, shouldn't everyone try their best, even Stormwind City will be ruined, countless people will be sacrificed, and then finally take it down - or the other party will escape directly?

In fact, after that, King Varian also invited the Archbishop of the Church of the Holy Light and the respected Archmage to examine the body of the black dragon together. Without telling them the truth, these respected and powerful beings all confirmed that this black dragon was indeed a very threatening object, and it was indeed killed directly on the spot by a very powerful being. In fact, they were also very curious about who could destroy such a powerful black dragon.

As for whether this black dragon was Onyxia, the daughter of Deathwing - they couldn't say for sure, after all, no one had really seen the black dragon princess, right?

Even Marshal Reginald, who brought the intelligence and personally dispelled the illusion of Onyxia, was a little unsure. In his impression, Onyxia was a cunning conspirator. The ability of this conspirator can be seen from her hiding her identity and sneaking into Stormwind City to try to control Varian and a group of high-ranking nobles in Stormwind City. In fact, according to Reginald's investigation, even the previous riots in the Stonemasons Guild and the death of the queen were inextricably linked to Onyxia.

So in Reginald's imagination, Onyxia was a very cunning, cautious and terrible enemy. To be honest, if this black dragon was a puppet or a clone, he would be more accepting.

But you said that the conspirator was killed by a hammer?

How to say it... It's a bit... Anyway, it feels like this shouldn't be her ending.

What made Reginald even more speechless was that the one who killed Onyxia was not a hidden master of the Storm Kingdom, nor a famous hero, but just an adventurer. Even this adventurer didn't come here because he discovered any conspiracy, he just came to deliver a letter and get a bounty.

Then he killed Onyxia.

Putting himself in his shoes, Reginald felt that if he died in this way, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood.

And there was one thing Reginald didn't tell Varian. When he followed Lothar to raid Medivh's Tower, he saw a vision of his future - in that prophecy, he would be killed by the black dragon. In fact, when Reginald returned to Storm Fortress and planned to confront Onyxia, he had already made this mental preparation.

As a result... uh... it seems... that the prophecy seems to have failed?

"Who is that warrior?"

Reginald couldn't help but sigh, and King Varian smiled bitterly.

"I have to say, he helped us a lot."

After Onyxia's death, King Varian felt that his mind seemed to gradually clear up, not only him, but also his subordinates. Some problems that had not been carefully thought about before seemed to be clear now.

In fact, in the letters from Mayor Mareb and Marshal Oslet, Duanmu Huai's strength had been explained. Mareb was still okay, just a necromancer, and there were many people in Stormwind who could kill him. But the content of Marshal Oslet's letter was a bit sensational. What six people killed nearly a thousand undead troops? At that time, King Varian was still under the influence of Onyxia, and his mind was not very clear, but he also knew that this matter was unreliable. But at that time, he didn't think much about it. He only knew that the problems of Nanhai Town and Arathi Highlands were solved, and this adventurer was just helping to deliver the letter.

As for the specific situation, it would not be too late to ask him when Marshal Oslet came. So Varian only gave Duanmu Huai a little money to run away at that time, and the latter didn't seem to care much.

What happened now?

Is it strange that a man who can knock down a black dragon with a hammer can kill thousands of undeads?

Not strange at all!

But why have I never heard of such a strong man?

You know, the continent of Azeroth has been in turmoil in recent years, and various things have continued. Such a strong man should not be unknown.

Could it be that this is actually a trap set by the black dragon? That Onyxia may have known that Reginald would come back to accuse herself, so she deliberately used this method to get away? Or, is there something wrong with this man himself?

"Your Majesty."

Just when Varian was thinking hard, Marshal Reginald spoke.

"I have a request."

"What is it? Marshal Reginald?"

"About Blackrock Mountain."

Marshal Reginald's face became serious and he looked at Varian.

"Onyxia did try to plot in Stormwind, but I suspect that this was not her main purpose! In fact, when I went to the Burning Plains to investigate, I was captured by the Dark Iron Dwarves and was fortunately rescued by several adventurers. And I can be sure that those black dragons in Blackrock Mountain are definitely plotting something! Therefore, I once again ask His Majesty to order troops to clear out the entire Blackrock Mountain!"

"This............"

Hearing Marshal Reginald's request, Varian immediately showed an embarrassed expression. In fact, Marshal Reginald had thought more than once that Stormwind should send troops to clear out the Dark Iron Dwarves and Dragons in the Burning Plains, but at that time, including Varian, most people disagreed with this. Moreover, Stormwind is now in a state of disrepair and is not suitable for using troops. Besides, the Burning Plains is a place with nothing to offer, so no one wants to ask for trouble.

Later, Marshal Reginald decided to take a team to investigate, and then disappeared.

Everyone thought he was dead, but he was locked up by the Dark Iron Dwarves!

Marshal Reginald had nothing to do and couldn't escape while being held by the Dark Iron Dwarves, so he kept thinking in prison.

He didn't come to the Burning Plains in a big way, so how could he be discovered by the Dark Iron Dwarves?

From the fact that the Dark Iron Dwarves ambushed him, they obviously got intelligence, not just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse!

So Marshal Reginald thought about it and locked the culprit on the Countess. It was after this that he confirmed that the Countess was Onyxia, the daughter of Deathwing.

But the problem was not solved.

That is... Why did Onyxia deal with him?

Although Marshal Reginald didn't deal with Onyxia, he was not the only one in Stormwind who didn't deal with Onyxia, plus the dragon people in Blackrock Mountain, so Marshal Reginald had a bold guess, that is, Onyxia dealt with him because he wanted to investigate Blackrock Mountain!

In other words, there must be something in Blackrock Mountain that Onyxia doesn't want her to see!

So this time after returning to Stormwind City, Marshal Reginald asked King Varian again to investigate Blackrock Mountain.

Regardless of whether the dead Onyxia is real or fake, it is certain that there must be something in Blackrock Mountain that the black dragon does not want others to find, and since Onyxia is making trouble in Stormwind City, it means that the Blackrock Mountain incident must also be related to Stormwind City!

But for Varian, he really can't spare anyone to go to Blackrock Mountain now.

"I understand what you mean, but we really can't spare too many people to investigate Blackrock Mountain..."

"Then, I have a suggestion. I hope that the warrior can accompany me and go to Blackrock Mountain again."

"This............"

Hearing Marshal Reginald's proposal, Varian immediately understood what he meant.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Of course."

Marshal Reginald nodded.

"That... of course I have no problem with that."

Varian hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"But I'm not sure if that warrior will agree to go to Blackrock Mountain with you."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Leave the task of persuading him to me."

At this moment, Marshal Reginald also looked serious.

No matter what, I have to find out the truth behind this. If the adventurer is really strong, then he alone is enough to take on an army when he goes to Blackrock Mountain this time!
