If the adventures of the other mercenaries surrounding the Naru Fragments are a bright line, then the adventures of the dwarf Skabus Knife Oil are a dark line. Citing Stormwind City's MI7, Skabus travels alone to the Barren Lands to conduct a secret investigation.
First, the encounter of the silt oil well
As a senior MI7 agent, Skabus Knife Oil was instructed by his superiors to travel to the barren land to retrieve something called the Naru Fragment. Knife Oil rode the Black Stallion overnight (rumored to be particularly favored by MI7 due to its frequent missions in the dark) and went to the barren land to investigate.
According to the wire, the Naru fragment was located near a silt well, and the stalker effortlessly infiltrated the venture capital company's oil well base. However, halfway through, he encountered two presumptuous alliances: Delaney Zerrella and the dwarf Tavish Ray spear, although the process and the predetermined plan were somewhat different, but fortunately, Skabus still managed to obtain the Naru Fragment, and halfway, because of Zerrilla's sincerity, he changed his intention to directly obtain the Naru Fragment. Although the Naru Fragment is the mission target, Knife Oil chose the latter instead of saving the lives of others.
At the same time, Skabus senses something strange from the events, and the task of the Naru Fragment seems to be not so simple, and it seems that there are some hidden secrets in it...
Second, the informant's message
Back in Stormwind City, according to erin Tias, a former MI7 veteran agent cheese trader, the current situation inside and outside Storm City is a bit urgent, with King Varian missing, the Diffia Brotherhood causing trouble, and even tribal agents mixed into Storm City. Master Matthias Shore, the leader of MI7, judged that there was an intrigue in the court of Stormwind City, and that the MI7 underground informants had relevant information in their hands, demanding that Skabus should immediately contact the informant to find out the truth.
As he approached, Erin Tias also reminded Skabus: "If I remember correctly, it's still your old friend." The joint was in the tavern, and Skabbs quickly recognized the informant and old friend: Bob the Bartender, the Bartender, and the Cook (Skabus used to be a cook), and it was indeed a good fit to be friends in the tavern.
Bob, who was retiring at the Wargame Tavern, heard the right news from his old friend: during the days when King Varian disappeared, Countess Catrana Presto became the chief adviser to the young prince Anduin. But the Countess's recent actions have been a bit strange, not only by cutting down the defenses of Stormwind City, but also by rejecting calls for help from some of the League's remote areas. And most crucially, she was recently collecting scattered Pieces of Naru. Most of the tasks Skarbus received to collect the fragments were her instructions.
In this way, Skabbs sniffed the countess's fox tail, plus the great lord Fotagan was recently fascinated by the countess and ignored political affairs. Anduin was still young, and the regent was addicted to alcohol, and the actual power of Stormwind City basically fell into the hands of this chief adviser. The loosening of the city defense and border defense is also logical that she is playing a ghost. Skabbs insisted that there must be something wrong with this woman, and that the eight achievements of the infidelity were her.
3. Evidence of incriminating evidence in the room
With the help of his stalker skills, Skabus sneaks into Ms. Presto's room and finds plenty of evidence of her betrayal of Stormwind: several letters.
One was about collecting the Naru fragments, and she sent many MI7 members and mercenaries to search for the fragments, and Skabus and Tavish were one of them; the second was a correspondence with Van Cliff, the head of the Brotherhood of Diffia; and a letter to Tamsin Röhm, who was secretly helping the tribesmen sneak into Stormwind City; and there was another letter in the ancient dragon language... Skabus suddenly realized that the real identity of the countess was the Dragon Clan!
Stunned by these ulterior letters, Skabbs was careless for a moment, unaware of the countess behind her, after all, this was the inner courtyard of the Storm City King's Court, and it was impossible for the Dragon Clan's room to be unguarded. From the moment Skarbus stepped into the room, the alarm spell had been triggered, so the countess would appear in the room in time.
Whether it is strength or apparent status and location, Skabus is at a disadvantage. The Countess took down the agent who had sneaked in, and "honorably" threw Skabos into storm city prison for treason, intending to publicly execute and hang the agent.
Fourth, cooperative jailbreaking
Agent Knife Oil, who knew of the Countess's plot, would not sit still, and he had to think of leaving the cold Storm City prison, otherwise Storm City would be in danger. But storm city prison under the canal is not a safe place to live, and some old fritters who have been imprisoned here for a long time plan to take the new Skabus to the sword.
Trouble ensued, but thankfully, the Sindore mage Walden Morning had come to his aid and helped Skabus send Hogg and other prisoners. ChenYong's shot can also be regarded as revenge for virtue, after all, it was Scarbus and his gang who sent him to storm city prison.
After a short rest, the two exchanged a brief amount of information, and Skabus told the countess and Kazakus of a conspiracy to collude to collect the smuggled fragments, and the task of morning support was to spy on Kazakus, only to be mistaken by Skabus and they mistakenly believed to be Kazakus's accomplices, although they did have been together... Chenyong also explained that the Naru Fragment has great power, so the intentions of its users determine the danger of the world.
Skabus also communicated the contents of the letters learned from the royal court with the morning embrace, Van Cliff, Diffia... In connection with this information, combined with the intelligence on Morning's side, Morningtail determined that the Countess intended to smuggle the collected Naru fragments out of the city from the Death Mine. The agent and mage together must first leave the ghost place, inform the mercenary friends, and then intercept the Naru fragment to stop the countess from their next plan.
With the help of the stalker's powerful unlocking skills, the two worked together sincerely to successfully escape from prison. "You have this skill, why didn't you use it earlier?" When he saw Morning's use of a blazing storm to blast the prison walls, Skabus complained (and asked me to open a hammer lock).
Fifth, chase and intercept
After being released from prison, the two witnessed the tragic situation of Stormwind City being invaded by demons, but they could not manage so much for the time being, and they had to stop the countess first. The two men split up, each joining his mercenary companions and then rushing to the Death Mine. Knife Oil They went to the mine first to intercept the Naru fragments, but were blocked by the Brotherhood of Diffia.
Then morning they rushed to support, and the alliance and the tribe's mercenary squad joined forces and made a scene in the death mine. Although they worked together to bring down the main members and leaders of the Diffia brothers, the Naru fragments were transported out by Diffia's thieves. The Mercenary Wing pryed the shard out of Van Cliff's mouth: Otrank Valley, can the Naru Shard be intercepted? What kind of strong enemies and dangers will they encounter? The adventure continues...
