"Aha, you're making an airship for the first time, right?"

Brian who tied himself to a swinging seat with a harness. Copperbeard's face turned pale, but this old dwarf still didn't miss any opportunity to hit the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo.

Because just last night, the second fight between the two ended in Brian's failure, which made the old dwarf who was addicted to alcohol very frustrated.

In the face of the old dwarf's malicious jokes, the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo gritted his teeth, hugged the toolkit in his arms, and without saying a word, the two leather locks were also tightly fastened on the pandaman's round body, to ensure that the draenei airship flying rapidly in this storm would not throw him out.

At this moment, the beautiful silver-white shuttle airship was struggling to stabilize its course in the fierce winds of the storm cliffs, but probably because the situation was so bad, the three draenei pilots yelled at each other, making the atmosphere in the entire airship cabin very solemn, as if the ship could crash into the dead snowy mountains of the storm cliffs in the next moment.

But the reality isn't so bad either... This silver-white spaceship is a small airship copied by the Draenei people in recent years, and its blueprint is the four frigates that carry the Draenei across the stars, of course, after 25,000 years of exile, the Draenei, who were originally a race of stars, have lost too much technology, and the years of suffering have even caused a fault in their civilization.

However, the Prophet Viren is a veteran leader, and as early as the world of Draenor, the Draenei technicians have been trying to reshape the ship's technology, but this process has been interrupted by the Orc War, and the lengthy process of reshaping the technology has begun again after the Draenei have entered Azeroth and gained a new foothold in the Borean tundra.

Almost 10 years have passed, and the Draenei have lived up to expectations with Azeroth's first engineering airship that can fly long distances.

But to be honest, compared with the original four Star frigates, the technical content of this thing is simply the gap between bugs and giants, this silver airship named "Far Traveler" can only fly in the atmosphere, and the flight speed cannot exceed Mach 2, otherwise there is a danger of disintegration, and the internal area is narrow, it can only carry 8 passengers including the pilot at a time, and no more than 200KG of items, except for the escort firepower that is better than nothing, there are no weapons for air combat and ground warfare, And after every flight, you have to recharge in time.

But this airship, which is miserable in the eyes of the Draenei, is already a very remarkable masterpiece in the current engineering level of Azeroth, and even the master craftsmen of the Black Iron District have come to visit, and the shameless goblins have tried to bribe the Draenei technicians to get the blueprints of the airship. However, under the orders of Viren, the Draenei technicians involved in the construction of the airship were guarded day and night by the garrison, and the once honest and honest Draenei have now become much more savvy under the influence of Azeroth's business environment, and it is said that they seem to have plans to sell this airship to the outside world, but the asking price is extremely high...

"Boom"

As the winds of the storm cliffs grew faster and faster, the jolting of the Far Voyager airship became more and more terrifying, and the steel plates that had been cemented together by the Draenei with gem technology even began to shake wildly, and the pale pandaman dared to look out of the porthole, and found that the flanks of the cigar-shaped airship were horribly frosted, and black smoke began to emit from the tail of the airship.

"I remember, you said we had parachute bags for emergencies, right?"

Zhou Zhuo turned his head in horror and looked at the old dwarf who was clutching the seat. Copperbeard was also scared, but the face-loving old dwarf didn't want to lose face in front of his new friends, so he didn't say a word, and pretended to put a cigar in his mouth.

In the face of Zhou Zhuo's question, the old dwarf replied with difficulty in that terrible shock:

"Huh, paragliding bag? Better don't count on that... It was outsourced to goblins by the heartless Draenei, and it is said to have a 5% chance of malfunctioning, which increases to 30% in such bad weather. ”

"So what are we going to do? The ship is smoking! ”

Zhou Zhuo shouted: "Think of a way, Brian!" ”

The old dwarf clenched his fists, and he glanced at the panicked pandaman, and he said:

"There's a way..."

"Huh?"

"Pray, pray to every godly god you can think of... Pray that we don't fall into this snow..."

———————————————————————————

It turns out that the Creator has always favored certain gifted beings...

After nearly 30 minutes of tossing in the wind of the storm cliffs, when the traveler was about to vomit out his intestines, and under the operation of the highly skilled Draenei captain, the airship finally crossed the squallious wind area with difficulty and luck, and successfully sent several distinguished guests of the Explorer Guild to the expedition base camp on the snowy plain.

At the moment when he stepped on the snow again, Zhou Zhuo, who was pale in the face, knelt in the cold snow with his legs weak.

He swore he would never ride a Draenei airship again, this thing... It's so exciting.

The old dwarf, on the other hand, acted like he was not afraid of the sky, he leaned on the gangway, whispered something to the Draenei pilots, shared cigar smoke with each other, and then commanded a few dwarven assistants to move all the supplies out of the empty ship warehouse.

Brian's legs were also weak, but he was smart, and he stayed on the gangway until he regained his mobility, and then swaggered into the base camp in front of him.

The Copperbeard Dwarves and the Explorers' Guild had been in this isolated icy land for years, and the humble camp had been mowed into a decent fortress that, like the other dwarves, was larger than the buildings that were exposed to the surface.

"Is Muradin out again?"

Walking into the warm fortress, Brian took the hot wine handed over by Dahir and asked the person in charge of the place:

"I've only been gone for 4 days, and I hope you don't make a mess of our work."

"Nope! Brian! We've made a big discovery! ”

In the face of Brian's inquiry, the head of this place, the senior master of the Explorers Guild, Phil the Thunderspear Dwarf. Harpy excitedly waved a map and shouted to Brian:

"Just yesterday, a sudden avalanche destroyed our outpost on the northeast side, and several guys were severely frostbitten, but that's a good thing! Prince Muradin took his soldiers to save them, and guess what? ”

The dwarf pointed frantically on the ground with his thick fingers:

"There it is! Brian, the avalanche disaster exposed a mountain platform with obvious traces of man-made excavation... There are still a lot of ancient mechanical creations that have not been activated, at least 20,000 years old from now, and they look like gnomes... It's a mechanical gnome, you know? The ancestors of the gnomes! We found them! ”

"Mechanical gnomes?"

Brian's eyes widened at this moment, and the old dwarf's slightly embarrassed appearance came alive with a speed visible to the naked eye, and he drank the wine from the glass in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and then took his heavy bag on his back, and shouted loudly as he walked outside:

"Dahir! Dahir... Get the rig up and running! And you, Zhou Zhuo, there is no time left for you to recover, come on, it must be the good luck you bring, we have made a big discovery! ”

"Uh... I'm so uncomfortable. ”

The traveling scholar lying by the brazier replied weakly:

"Let me rest for a while... Oh my God, it's so uncomfortable... Damn it! uh..."

Before Zhou Zhuo's words were finished, the shadow around him began to become active, and Ella, who had been following Zhou Zhuo's side all the time, raised her hand and threw a small strange pill into Zhou Zhuo's mouth, and then forced the panda man to swallow the pill, she let out a low shrill laugh, and then disappeared into the shadows as soon as she turned around.

The strange elixir seemed to stimulate people's spirits, and in just a few minutes, Zhou Zhuo's face turned rosy, he breathed heavily, drank two glasses of wine frantically, and then followed out with his backpack.

In the 10,000-year-old permafrost like the Storm Cliffs, the speed of the drill rig that can quickly dig tunnels underground is also very slow, but this kind of vehicle is accepted by the dwarves because of the Queen Moira, and the vehicle that travels underground can avoid the terrible low temperature on the surface, so even if it is slow, it is tolerable.

In the slightly cramped cabin of the drilling machine, the old dwarf with a cowboy hat is grasping the incident and popularizing the knowledge of this land to Zhou Zhuo, who came to the storm cliff for the first time.

"Listen to me, Zhou Zhuo, in this hellish place, you must not run around."

The old dwarf's finger waved on the map of Stormcrags:

"This land is full of crazy steel life, there are steel dwarves who are very similar to us, and there are some violent and terrible steel viku, in the first two years, they often came in droves to besiege our stronghold, we spent a lot of effort to destroy their base camp, and now you go to the depths of the snowflow plains, and you can still see the thundercast colossus that those crazy steel beings built there, it is a terrifying steel giant, fortunately they didn't finish it."

"There are still some flesh and blood Viku women tribe in the mountains of the storm cliffs, they are a group of she-wolves, they are very crazy and warlike, and they also have a bad habit of preying on men, if you are unfortunate enough to be captured by them, it is estimated that you will be really squeezed dry in half a month at most."

At this, Brian let out a low, lewd laugh, but there were still women here, so the old dwarf quickly stopped talking, and his finger moved to the southwest corner of the map:

"Here! This is the home of the Frost Dwarves we found before, Frost Castle, we are from the same bloodline as them, they are native, they have a good relationship with us, and occasionally use their domesticated eagles to help us transport some things, but the Frost Dwarves are afraid to be close to this land of Ulduar, they almost never come here, and now there is a backup base for us on the Frost Castle side. ”

"Finally, here!"

Brass Whisker's finger tapped the southeast side of the map:

"This is the only two plains of the Stormcrags, but those pesky goblins have set up a trading post here, and those bastards must have heard about Ulduar, and they plan to make a fortune here... The hell it's called K3, but the goblins are so reckless, their city is built right next to the mammoth's lair, so they're often besieged by the beasts, but that's a good thing... Wait, what is this? ”

Brian's eyes were quickly drawn to the parts of some metal discs in Zhou Zhuo's hand, this old dwarf also had some research in engineering, and he could tell that the parts in Zhou Zhuo's hand could be assembled together.

In the face of Brian's curiosity, You Shi did not answer immediately, but quickly assembled the disc parts in his hand, and after a few minutes, a yellow disc with a diameter of about one meter appeared in his hand, Zhou Zhuo's fingers pressed a few buttons on the disc, and the spars around the disc lit up, and then the metal disc was suspended in front of the eyes of the two, and the spout below continued to spew out mist with the breath of the wind element, and soon the disc was completely wrapped in the mist.

"This thing, called the flying disk, is something that the traveling scholars found in some ruins of the ancient demons, and we privately call it "somersault cloud", which is a very useful flying device. ”

Zhou Zhuo introduced Brian, whose eyes were shining:

"Scholars often use this thing to investigate the huge ruins, it can't fly too high, more than 50 yards of height will cause the disc to be difficult to manipulate, but the victory is very flexible, before we thought this thing was made by the Demon Ancient people, and then I learned that this should also be a technological creation left by the mysterious Titans... I was thinking about how I might use them, so I brought three of them with me this time. ”

"This thing... Maybe it can be used to get over a lot of horrible traps..."

The old dwarf rubbed his chin, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Zhuo:

"What is this... Somersault clouds, right, can it be imitated? ”

"Absolutely!"

You scholar nodded:

"We have a complete drawing of the flying disk, which is kept in the headquarters of the Pandaria Traveler, this thing is actually very simple to imitate, that is, the energy is difficult to solve, after using it several times, it is necessary to use a special magnet to charge it, and that kind of magnet is only available in Pandaria."

"Great!"

The old dwarf patted Zhou Zhuo's stomach fiercely, he rubbed his hands, and seemed to have seen the picture of the archaeologists swimming in the ruins on a flying disk, and after dozens of minutes, the group finally crossed the frozen soil of the Snow Flow Plain with great difficulty, and came to the entrance of the ruins located in the northeast of the storm cliff.

Rushing out of the drilling machine, the old dwarf saw the remains of the Copperbeard Legion in front of him, a large marble platform that looked like it had been buried in the snow for nearly 10,000 years, and around that platform, there were many strange metal parts scattered around.

"Brian!"

A deep voice came from the tent next to the ruins:

"You've finally come back, my brother, come with me, we've found something, Lord Elonnaya told us that this is the former "Creator Data Desk", which seals some important data left behind by the Creator, but we don't know how to operate it, we can't read the damn text... Wait, who is this bear man? ”
