Gorosh and his two companions discussed for a bit and decided to follow the dwarves to Steel Stove Castle.
They were all injured, and their battle strength had decreased. If they met the Defias thugs again, they might not be able to escape unscathed. They didn't know that the Defias thugs were being chased by the righteous Night Watchmen cavalry.
Lu Li and Water Fairy naturally wouldn't object.
They hadn't received the reward for the Battle of Sardol Bridge yet. Thargas Anvilmar looked very poor, so there probably wasn't much to reward. Going to Steel Stove Castle was easier to get good stuff.
Moreover, their original intention was to participate in the plot of the king's return.
A group of people carried the injured and corpses, walking in the mud of the wetlands, and began to trudge towards Steel Stove Castle.
After walking for half a day, they didn't get very far. Fortunately, Thargas Anvilmar suggested setting up camp, and Lu Li and Water Fairy were able to go offline. Otherwise, they really wouldn't have so much game time to continue following them.
This quest obviously wouldn't be so easy to complete.
It would take at least a few days. Lu Li and Water Fairy really did follow the large group. Once they set up camp, they would go offline to rest, and take turns to go online every once in a while to see if they were ready to leave.
After arriving at Steel Stove Castle, the group received a warm welcome.
Of course, the target of the welcome wasn't Lu Li, nor was it Gorosh, but the victorious returning dwarven warriors. The king of Steel Stove Castle, Magni Bronzebeard, personally came out to welcome them.
Magni Bronzebeard was the eldest son of Madoran Bronzebeard, and was also an outstanding blacksmith. His forging skills were unparalleled in the entire Azeroth continent.
At first, Magni had no interest in becoming a king. He had participated in the second war as a warrior, but fate very ironically made him inherit the throne of Steel Stove Castle after his father's death, and from then on became the third dwarf king.
For many years, Magni had always carried out his duty without any complaints – leading the dwarves to protect the peace of Khaz Modan and the Alliance.
However, he wasn't a good father.
Because Magni's attitude towards his only daughter, Moira, was extremely bad, it led to Moira running away from home and marrying the Iron Dwarf Emperor, Dragan Thaurissan.
Magni was very sad and regretful. Although the Bronzebeard King had gathered the warriors of the Alliance to attack the Blackrock Abyss and kill Dagglan, he tried to bring Moira back to Iron Furnace Castle. However, Moira said that she was pregnant with Dagglan's child and refused to return. His daughter's cold attitude made Magni even more depressed.
After that, Magni sought help from King Varian Wrynn of Stormwind City to fight against the Dark Iron Dwarves. However, Varian rejected him time and time again.
This did not feel right until he saw Gorosh in the reception room.
"Thank you for everything you've done for the Salma Bridge. May I know your name?" Magni was much more cautious than Thargas Anvilmar. At least he wouldn't ask William what he was doing right away.
"I know your confusion, and it troubles me as well," Gorosh said. "I hear that I look like the king of Stormwind."
"No, not really. You are the king of Stormwind City, Lord William," Magni said with certainty.
"Then who is the one in Stormwind City?" Gorosh was also very troubled. His memory hadn't fully recovered, but he was very sure that he was William. What exactly made a king turn into a gladiator?
"I think, as long as we go to Stormwind City, everything will be solved," Lu Li suggested.
"There's always some kind of power stopping me. I don't know if I can reach Stormwind City." Gorosh was a fearless warrior, but he wasn't a brute. Once he died, all the truth would be meaningless.
"Iron Furnace Castle will send someone to escort you there," Magni said.
Only he had this kind of power here. After Thargas Anvilmar buried his dead brothers, he was once again entrusted with a heavy responsibility. However, Magni provided them with even more elite reinforcements, allowing the strength of this team to be replenished and strengthened.
Lu Li also began to summon his own cavalry to provide assistance to this escort team.
Regardless of whether it was a thug like the Defias Brutes or a desperate player who was hoping for a fluke, a normal large-scale club wouldn't dare to attack the guards of Iron Furnace Castle so brazenly.
Other than that, there were also some strange forces that appeared out of nowhere.
Lu Li even suspected that there were assassins from Ravenholdt Manor among them. This wasn't strange at all. The Assassin League didn't have a unified command, and they wouldn't refuse to accept a mission to assassinate William just because they were worried about his revenge.
However, under the escort of Thargas Anvilmar, William finally reached Stormwind City.
This day was destined to be recorded in the history of Stormwind City.
The two Varians finally met on a narrow path, and they immediately started fighting. The situation became more and more chaotic.
Just as the two Varians were engaged in a fierce fight, and the others were confused and didn't know who to help, a guard took advantage of the chaos and held Prince Andoine hostage. He laughed weirdly and turned into a huge black dragon.
Onyxia!
Princess of the Black Dragon!
The black dragon princess spread her huge wings and flew away with a whistling sound, her claws grabbing the poor Prince Andoine.
Lu Li stopped Water Fairy, who was about to rush forward. Their strength wasn't enough to stop all this from happening, and two Varians wasn't a solution after all. Why not follow the plot and go to Onyxia's lair to rescue His Royal Highness?
The two Varians each had half of the personality traits of the king before he disappeared.
Ragosh was impatient, direct, and aggressive. He would start a fight if there was a disagreement, while the Varian who had returned a few weeks ago was refined, steady, and even lazy to a certain extent.
Even though the two Varians had nothing in common, they realized that not only were they equally matched in terms of martial arts, but they also viewed Andoine Wrynn's safety as the most important thing.
The two of them actually worked together to formulate a plan to go to Theramore. Their final destination was Onyxia's lair.
As Gorosh's reinforcements, Lu Li and Water Fairy would naturally follow along.
"The truth is hidden in the fog, but the clouds will disperse in the end." Lu Li said after seeing Jaina. He had cosplayed as a fraud for a while, and it felt really good.
Not only did Jaina appear, but the former Guardian Aegwynn was also invited. She was Jaina's close aide.
This was the first time Lu Li saw Aegwynn. He could be considered an old fan of Aegwynn. Aegwynn could tell at a glance that neither of the two Varians was real. However, both Varians were real.
"This is an evil ritual, but the ritual was interrupted, so it's not perfect," Aegwynn commented.
"Is there any way to solve this? Both of them are complete personalities." Lu Li couldn't think of a better way than to kill one of them.
"Didn't you say that the clouds will disperse in the end? Let fate decide for itself, disciple of Garona." Aegwynn actually knew about Lu Li, but it was unknown if she acknowledged the Garona she spoke of. In a sense, she was her daughter-in-law.
She was the mother of her grandson.
"Actually, I've known you for a long time, Your Excellency," Lu Li said.
He told her about how he obtained the Book of Aegwynn, and how he gave the book to Medivh.
"Actually, that book should be your own destiny. You can keep that book," Aegwynn said after being stunned for a while.
"It is indeed my destiny. It will forever remember the message on the title page." Lu Li bowed respectfully.
"It's too difficult …" Aegwynn shook her head in melancholy, and quietly disappeared from everyone's sight.
William and Gorosh had already formulated a detailed attack plan. Even Lu Li and Water Fairy had been assigned their own positions.
