Soft light, lively atmosphere, delicious food, all kinds of drinks from high to low prices, and even a musician is playing an unknown rural minor with the lute.

Feeling the noisy atmosphere in the hall, Zhang Cheng casually sat down near the bar and told the bartender, "give me a glass of strawberry juice and tell me what happened in storm city recently."

The 40 year old man raised his head and glanced at the beautiful female boss standing at the door. When he saw the latter, he nodded quietly. Then he unscrewed the valve of a wooden bucket, filled it with a cup of dark red liquid, and gently put it on the table: "here, sir, this cup is for me."

"Thank you!"

Zhang Cheng, who had been a little thirsty for a long time, didn\'t talk nonsense. He picked it up, drank it all, and then took a deep breath to relax his tired and tense spirit.

Although it is called "strawberry juice", in fact, this cup is a special beverage with a certain amount of alcohol after slight fermentation. It is said that due to the use of many expensive sucrose and ingredients, its price is far higher than ordinary wines. At the same time, it is also one of the only wines that Azeroth can swallow except grape wine and rum.

As for those shoddy ale full of impurities and choking taste, it is simply not what people drink.

The bartender picked up the cup and filled it with another one. Then he asked with a smile, "what did you mean by asking for information?"

"It doesn\'t matter in any way. I just want to know the current situation in the city." Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders deliberately.

In fact, he wants to determine whether it is safe to go to the "slaughtered lamb" through some rumors.

But the bartender obviously didn\'t know this and nodded himself: "OK. If there are two major events that have happened recently, one is that there was a riot in Stormwind prison. Fortunately, warden selwart responded in time and took the initiative to block the entrance. At present, the big people are discussing whether to send troops to kill all the criminals who initiated the rebellion. It is said that it ended because of the strong opposition of Countess katlana presto. The other is that marshal Reginald Windsor had a big quarrel with Countess katlana Presto in parliament, and went to the burning plain alone to deal with the increasingly rampant black stone orcs... "

"Oh, did the Black Dragon Princess finally start to do it..." Zhang Cheng pursed his mouth and muttered in a voice that only he could hear.

There is no doubt that after personally planning the kidnapping of Varian Urien, Onyxia can\'t wait to gain more power and influence in the storm Kingdom, so she can\'t wait to secretly eradicate all those who may threaten her, and those who can\'t be eradicated will be driven out of the storm city.

The young king Anduin Urien knew nothing about it, and the Regent Bolvar fortagen was also firmly captured by the gentle trap woven by the Black Dragon Princess with the appearance of human women.

It can be said that whoever gets the favor of Countess katlana Presto can call the wind and rain in the storm kingdom.

If he didn\'t know that at some point in the future, field marshal Reginald Windsor would come back with the decoded slate to realize the prophecy he got in karazan and expose her true face, otherwise Zhang Cheng would be tempted to step in and get enough good places for himself.

However, it is a pity that doing so will pay an extremely painful price in the future. According to the identity and status Zhang Cheng has obtained in Dalaran at the moment, there is no need to take risks at all.

Just as he sipped strawberry juice and considered how he should win the trust of the alliance warlock group, an old dwarf with a gray beard suddenly came up and said in a drunken tone, "Hey, young man, where did you get your dwarf musket?"

"Fire gun?" Zhang Cheng was stunned at first, followed by a double barreled secret silver shotgun that had never been used at the waist, and a strange smile appeared on his face. "I bought this from a dwarf named ovg copper hammer in the treasure Bay market. How, do you know him?"

"Ovg copper hammer? Damn it! The bastard ran to thorns valley without saying a word?" the old dwarf roared.

He didn\'t pay attention to the strange eyes of the people around him. He waved his rock like arm and knocked on the table until the bartender warned him that if there was a crack on the table, he would lose money.

"Do you know ovg copper hammer?" Zhang Cheng stared at the grumpy dwarf with interest.

After all, the dwarf race, once grown up, will grow a thick beard. Whether it\'s 30 or 200, it doesn\'t make much difference in human eyes.

"Of course! I\'m his uncle! This bastard doesn\'t honestly inherit his family business and become a qualified blacksmith. He just goes to learn some shit engineering from the damn dwarf, and runs out to take risks as a hunter. It\'s really angry with me." after that, the old dwarf starts to slap the table again, and his beard turns up. It\'s very interesting.

After listening to the other party\'s complaint, Zhang Cheng couldn\'t help laughing and replied, "there\'s nothing wrong with engineering. At least the power of the gun is obvious to all, isn\'t it?"

"Hum! What\'s good! It\'s just some fancy gadgets. Where are the real swords, axes and hammers? By the way, what metal is the dagger hanging around your waist? How come I\'ve never seen it?" the old dwarf looked at the short dagger with wonderful red ripples.

Zhang Cheng took down the enchanted dagger made of valerian steel not long ago: "do you say this?"

The old dwarf quickly nodded: "yes! I\'ve never seen such a strange quenching technology! Can you show me? In return, I can promise to make you a weapon or armor for free."

"No problem, please." Zhang Cheng handed the dagger without thinking.

He also hoped to see if the dwarf blacksmith of Azeroth could find out the reason for the production of valerian steel and the strange energy contained therein.

"My God! The hardness, flexibility and magic ductility are almost four or five times similar to that of a light cast iron ingot. However, with all due respect, except for the materials, the segmental technique of this dagger has no merit at all, and a good piece of steel has been wasted." the old dwarf gave his own evaluation straightforwardly.

Looking at the other party\'s sad appearance, Zhang Cheng flashed a trace of embarrassment in his eyes, followed by a low voice and said tentatively: "do you judge how this metal is produced? What\'s the use of it?"

"Well, from a blacksmith\'s point of view, I think the main reason is the quenching temperature and some special added materials. You know, even the big forge in Ironforge castle can\'t reach the high temperature of this metal quenching. If you\'re right, it should be quenched with a special flame such as dragon flame. As for the function, it is naturally used to fight powerful magic weapons..."
