In the year 2104, on the eve of the cataclysm, Barnett, who was hiding in the cellar of the sheriff's mansion in the small town of Flossacen, accidentally received a summons from the microphone.

During his quest to find Etheline, Barnett infiltrated human society several times to find out the news, where he was first introduced to alcohol. Almost as soon as he smelled the wine, Barnett was fascinated by the wonderful taste and the feeling of being slightly drunk.

In the great dye vat of human society, Barnett was unstoppable and quickly contracted the vice of alcoholism. Lacking the means to make money, Barnett did not have much money to buy wine, so the cellars of large families became places he often "visited".

Although Barnett's blacksmithing skills could be exchanged for a lot of gold coins for just one thing, Barnett kept Kenobi's original warning that his craft should never be easily revealed.

Due to the frequent commuting between human society and the Warcraft Forest, the nearest human forest settlement to the Warcraft Forest, the small town of Frossaken, naturally became Barnett's first choice, and he often sneaked into the town sheriff's cellar every now and then to enjoy a good wine.

Since most of the sheriffs sent to Flossaken at that time were the undesirable sons of the O'Bright family, those frustrated sheriffs basically lived a drunken life every day like Barnett, and it was only natural that they consumed good wine.

Therefore, Barnett's stealing of wine was unexpectedly not discovered by anyone, but it promoted the vigorous development of the town's winemaking business, otherwise Stome O'Brid would not have come up with a strange way to use wine as a tax deduction. That's all for later.

Barnett, who was drinking heavily that day, received a summons from Kenobi, who had not been in touch for a long time. The message of the interrogation was simple, to get him to Ingnier's lab as soon as possible.

Barnett was very surprised when he received the summons, in the past nearly two thousand years, he had asked Kenobi to return to the laboratory more than once, but Kenobi had refused with various excuses, but he did not expect to let him go back this time.

Barnett received the message and immediately set off, considering that he might not have the opportunity to come back to the place to drink again, so Barnett packed all the drinks in the cellar and left. This behavior, which should have caused an uproar, was completely overshadowed by the cataclysm that followed, and it has to be said that Barnett's luck was quite good.

Leaving the small town of Frosacon on his way to Barnett in Ingnir, he stopped by an old friend known as Profit the Prophet as he passed through the troll tribe. They met when Barnett traveled the continent in search of Etheline.

After meeting these two like-minded old friends, it was natural that they would have a good time drinking, and the drinks Barnett packed from Frossaken naturally became the best drink.

It's been a long time since they've seen the two get drunk with their excitement, and Barnett temporarily forgets about Kenobi's summons to get him back to the lab as soon as possible, and Profit forgets an important message that an important person asked him to help deliver.

Unfortunately, however, the cataclysm happened on the night they were drunk. By the time the two woke up with a hangover, the entire continent had changed drastically due to the cataclysm.

Barnett, who had woken up first, rushed to Ingniel without waiting for Profitt to wake up, and he already had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and that he must have missed something because of the cataclysm.

Sure enough, when he arrived at Ingnier, he found that the original laboratory had been completely sealed, and Barnett had no way to enter.

Barnett couldn't get back in touch with Kenobi by all means, and in his frustration, he had to leave Ingneel.

Barnett, who has lost his goal, wanders aimlessly in the Warcraft Forest, and after making a big mistake due to alcoholism, Barnett's whole person becomes depressed.

He wandered like the walking dead in the Warcraft Forest, until one day he met the canine warlock Voruk. Voruk had apparently come specifically to find him, and the warlock, who had met Barnett but was not quite on the right path, gave him something when he met him.

According to Voluk, this thing was a mechanical monster who fell from the sky before the cataclysm, and at the cost of a precious potion recipe, under the constraints of the Creator God Contract, asked him to find Barnett and hand it over to him.

That thing is a golden gear. When Barnett got the gear, he knew it was the key to Ingneil's lab. Once upon a time, before he left the lab, Kenobi showed him the golden gear, telling him that if one day Ingnier's lab had to be sealed, the golden gear would be the key to unlocking it.

Barnett was ecstatic after getting the golden gear, and he felt that Kenobi hadn't given up on him yet. Although he couldn't figure out why Kenobi had gone around in such a big circle to hand him the key, he believed that as long as he opened the lab with the key, he would be able to find the message that Kenobi had given him.

Barnett, who was in a good mood, looked at Voruk, who was not on the right path, and became pleasing to the eye, and he must give Voruk a few bottles of fine wine as a thank you. So the result is obvious, Barnett is drunk again. When he woke up this time, the keys to the lab and Voluk were gone.

Angry, Barnett naturally targeted Voruk with suspicion, and began to frantically search for Voruk's traces in the Warcraft Forest.

However, Voruk seemed to have evaporated on the continent and never disappeared.

Barnett's pursuit continued for quite some time, until one day he accidentally re-passed Ingneil, only to discover that the dusty laboratory had been overrun by a dwarf named Dobby.

The clumsy Barnett naturally couldn't get a favor from Dobby, and under the command of Dobby, who had already taken initial control of the laboratory, the mechanical puppet beat Barnett to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen.

Barnett, who was defeated by Dobby, was quite helpless, and in the case of not being able to contact Kenobi, the golden gear was the highest authority of the entire laboratory, and unless he could recapture the golden gear, it would be impossible for him to drive Dobby out of the laboratory that Kenobi had spent countless efforts to eschew.

Repeatedly missing control of Ingnell's lab due to alcoholism is the last thing Barnett can forgive himself, and it is also the biggest stain on his self-confession. After being kicked out of the lab by Dobby, Barnett began to drink heavily, giving him plenty of alcohol by sweeping away the wine cellar at the sheriff's mansion in Flossacen.

However, what Barnett never expected was that all this had long been expected by Kenobi, who knew him well. He couldn't get back to the lab in time, and even lost the key to the lab because he was drunk, but Kenobi had already foreseen it, and made targeted follow-up arrangements......
