At the same time, Michaela, who had just walked out of the royal area, asked Tobjörn: "What do you say? Are you dwarves going to drive me into the subway and send me to Stormwind City now?"
"That's not true."
Tobjörn raised his head and answered Michaela: "Don't look down on us dwarves. Do you really think we are barbarians who don't understand diplomatic etiquette?"
Haha, you still have the nerve to say that!
Torina even expressed what Michaela was thinking: "You don't even provide basic greetings and cleansing, and you still call it diplomatic etiquette?"
But Tobjörn said: "Ambassador Michaela, I know what you are thinking. Yes, I did not entertain you well before, but there is nothing I can do about it."
"As you can see, the situation here has not been very good recently. Even the Dragonmaw Orcs have attacked us, so..."
Michaela answered: "So His Majesty, King Magni, has many things to do and is very busy. In order not to keep me waiting, he can only work harder and travel day and night, right?"
"right."
Tobjörn nodded: "I hope you can understand."
Haha, the meeting is over, so what if I don’t understand!
Tobjörn added: "Anyway, now that the meeting is over, I think Ambassador Michaela will definitely want to take a night's rest."
Michaela blurted out: "No need to say it!"
"Then come with me!"
Tobjörn waved for Michaela to follow him, and said at the same time: "Ambassador Michaela, I'm afraid that you are in a hurry to go to Stormwind City and are unwilling to stay in Ironforge for one night. If that is the case, I will There’s no way to take advantage of it.”
I see!
While tribal ambassador Michaela enjoys ambassadorial treatment, Tobjörn also enjoys the same treatment as a receptionist, so of course he hopes that Michaela stays for a while.
So what would Michaela choose?
Needless to say!
"I'm not in a hurry."
Michaela lowered her head and blinked at Tobion, who also understood and said: "Ambassador Michaela, ever since you were willing to sell to help us defeat the Dragonmaw Orcs, I knew you were a kind person."
In this way, Tobjörn took Mikaela through the large forge, turned right along the passage in the Explorer Hall, and came to the craftsman area full of gears and machinery. Of course, there is another name here:
"Eh? Dwarf area!"
Mikaela saw countless big-headed guys less than one meter tall walking back and forth on the street, and many of them were still playing with various mechanical creations on both sides of the street. The big-headed boys here are dwarfs. They are smaller than dwarves, but have extremely high IQs, and especially have an unusual talent for mechanical knowledge!
"Ambassador Michaela, have you seen a dwarf?" Tobjörn asked.
"Yeah, I've seen him before when I traveled around the world."
Michaela also told Tobjörn: "In addition, my engineering teacher Danwen studied dwarf engineering."
"Oh, you're actually an engineer!"
Tobjörn looked a little surprised: "I thought you high elves were all enchantment masters!"
High elves are indeed very talented in enchantment technology, but to say that all high elves are enchantment masters based on this alone is a bit of a label.
Michaela replied: "I didn't learn enchantment but engineering. I have my own reasons."
"interesting."
Tobjörn suddenly thought of something: "By the way, since you are studying engineering, do you want to meet the local engineering masters?"
Michaela studied engineering to build better prosthetics for Marlenia. If he could improve his skills, he would definitely not refuse: "Okay!"
"Then come with me!"
I saw Tobjörn pulling Mikayla across the street, to a workshop opposite, and yelled inside:
"Overback, old man, are you there?"
"Who's calling me!"
I saw a dwarf with a pink fur beard walking out of the workshop, taking off the red protective glasses on his face, and looked at Tobjörn.
"Hey, old man, what's wrong with you? Can't you even recognize your old friend?" Tobjörn said to Oversbach: "I'm Tobjörn!"
"Oh, it's you!"
Oversbach recognized the other person: "Haha, look at my brain, I have been playing with machinery during this time, and I have almost forgotten all other things!"
"Huh!"
At this moment, Oversbach noticed Mikaela next to Torbjörn (who made him the tallest guy here).
"I haven't had a high elf visit here for many years."
Just listen to Oversbach say: "Especially now that the high elves have joined the tribe."
Tobjörn immediately introduced: "Oversbach, his name is Michaela, he is an ambassador sent by the tribe, and he also studies engineering, so I asked him to come and see you."
After saying that, Tobjörn turned to Mikaela and said: "He is Overspark, the dwarf engineering master, and also my good friend. We have known each other since the dwarves came to Ironforge."
"Hello, Master Overback."
Mikayla politely extended her right hand, but Oversbach did not shake hands with it. Instead, he grabbed Mikayla's palm and examined it himself.
"Wow!"
Torina couldn't help shouting: "Does that dwarf have any strange habits?"
of course not!
Oversbach was observing Michaela's condition through his palms, and after a few seconds he came to a conclusion:
"The calluses on your palms indicate that you often hold a hammer and strike metal, and the thick skin on your fingertips indicates that you often assemble various machines. It seems that old Toby was right. You are indeed an elf who understands engineering, so your teacher is who?"
Michaela didn't hide it either: "Danwen."
"Danwen?"
Overback seemed to remember something: "Years ago, there was indeed a female high elf who visited me and learned engineering techniques. She seemed to have this name."
There is no need to pretend, Michaela is certain that Danwen’s engineering skills come from Master Oversbach in front of him. In other words, the dwarf in front of him is his engineering master?
It's a pity that time has changed, and the current situation has already undergone earth-shaking changes from the time when Danwen visited the dwarf.
"Michaela, as a dwarf, I am very happy to meet a high elf who loves engineering. However," Master Oversbach changed the subject and said, "Now that you have joined the tribe, it is impossible for me to teach you anymore. ”
Hearing this, Michaela showed a hint of disappointment on her face. Yes, the high elves, now known as blood elves, have joined the tribe and are no longer members of the alliance. So there is really no reason for the dwarfs, who are members of the alliance, to continue to teach the blood elves engineering techniques.
"What a pity, Michaela."
Torina in the spiritual world shrugged and said in a regretful tone: "I thought you could continue your studies."
At this moment, Michaela also felt that she was out of luck.
However, there is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, but there is another village with hidden flowers and bright flowers!
Master Overback's next words were: "Michaela, although I can't teach you more advanced techniques, there is still my colleague Oglethorpe Obnotis in Booty Bay. His techniques He is not under me, and he has joined Booty Bay, working for the Goblin Conglomerate, and no longer belongs to the Alliance."
The implication is that Mikaela can find another dwarf engineering master to continue her studies!
Not only that, Master Oversbach took out a thumb-sized gear from his arms and handed it to Michaela:
"This is my gear, and Oglethorpe knows it and knows what to do."
With the gear in hand, Michaela solemnly said to Master Oversbach: "Thank you."
"No need to thank me, I didn't do anything."
After saying that, Master Overback turned and walked into the workshop: "I still have a lot of work to do. See you next time."
"Don't be offended, Ambassador Michaela."
Watching Master Overback walk into the workshop, Tobjörn explained to Michaela: "There was a problem with Gnomeregan, the main city of the dwarves, which caused them all to exile to Ironforge. And you know it."
"Yeah, I know."
Michaela nodded. With such a large population of dwarves, they suddenly fled to Ironforge. Even if the relationship between dwarfs and dwarves is very strong, the dwarves cannot raise so many people.
Therefore, the dwarves in exile in Ironforge also take on a lot of jobs on weekdays, using their engineering skills to make various equipment and devices for the dwarves in return for the dwarves allowing them to live in Ironforge.
After the episode, Tobian did not take Michaela to an inn run by a dwarf in the Artisan District.
What?
Why didn't Tobjörn take Mikaela to the inn opened by the dwarves themselves?
The official reason is of course that because it is relatively close to the mine tunnel subway, it is more convenient for the tribal ambassador to travel to Stormwind City.
Is it just a real reason:
"Ha, I've wanted to stay in a dwarf's hotel for a night!"
Tobjörn picked up the wine glass filled with ale and said to Michaela sitting across the table: "Cheers."
Michaela also picked up the wine glass, but it was filled with milk.
Torina informed: "Michaela switched to milk because she was too drunk!"
The dwarf's room was much higher than Mikaela expected, especially as an elf, he didn't feel that the room was too small even if he lived in it. According to Tobjörn, humans often come to Ironforge, so the local Building heights have been adjusted.
In addition, it was impossible to just drink time during the long night. As for things like playing cards, Mikaela didn't know much about it, so she simply took this opportunity to ask Tobjörn about the human side.
"The human side?"
Tobjörn took another sip of ale and said, "I should have told you about the disappearance of the king and the current political situation in Stormwind City."
Michaela then asked: "Is there any story that hasn't been told?"
"Didn't you say that? Oh, it's true!"
Tobjörn seemed to have thought of something: "Ambassador Michaela, do you want to hear the story of how humans and us dwarves became allies?"
"Okay!" Michaela clapped her hands. She had never heard of this story before!
Tobjörn immediately opened his mouth and spoke.
As early as before the first human city was built, there had been contact between humans and dwarves. However, the relationship between the two races at that time was only that they knew each other's existence, and there was not much contact.
It was not until later, when humans defeated the Amani trolls, dominated the northern part of the eastern continent, and began to expand and establish new countries that a turning point came for both parties.
"etc!"
Michaela thought of something and asked: "Tobjörn, the turning point you are talking about is the ancestor of the Stormwind Kingdom to the south!"
"That's right!"
Tobjörn nodded: "The humans who went south came to the territory of our dwarves."
Michaela asked tentatively: "So, humans defeated you?"
"roll!"
Tobjörn blew his beard: "Our great dwarves will not be defeated by humans!"
"The truth is this..."
