097 Action from the North
"Stolen dragon egg?"
Jala lifted up the goggles that protected herself from the shadow radiation of the Black Dragon Egg. She took a closer look at the little dragon egg on the ground, reached out and touched it, and said slowly: "This is indeed the Black Dragon's dragon egg, and it is from the Black Stone Tower. Where did you get it?"
"This egg was almost stolen by humans. They got it from the bottom of the Black Stone Tower. Tell me what's going on and don't try to shift the blame to the orcs or dragons."
Dahl's tone was very serious, and Jala also put down his frivolous attitude just now.
The goblin pondered for a long time, which made Dahl increasingly suspicious. He began to feel that he should not have told his purpose at the beginning with confidence, and he might be alarmed. But in the end, Jala spoke up.
"We have connections with a lot of outside forces, and it's not our fault. As mercenaries, we must always look for higher-priced employers."
"Of course, no one pays a higher price than the Black Dragon, but someone wants us to take advantage of our advantages in the Black Rock Tower to help them and give them a pretty generous reward for it. I don't want to deceive the Black Wings, Mr. Dalcromalus, after all, this is a work ethic to some extent. But before I confess completely, I want to know that Lord Victor Nefarios is not clear about this, right?"
"I don't know yet, but if you don't confess, he will know soon."
Jara's throat thumped for a moment because of the tension, and then said, "That's right, someone came to Black Rock Mountain last year and contacted the goblins who built fortifications on the plains. I hope we can help him, and the reward is quite generous."
"Although he didn't find me directly, this incident eventually came to me."
Dahl urged impatiently: "Human?"
"Yes, a northerner."
"The Kingdom of Ultratown? Lordaeron?"
"No, further north, he claimed to have come from Northrend."
Northrend is not an ordinary place name. It is actually the name of another continent. It is located north of the Lordaeron continent and is across the North Sea from the Tirisfa area where the Lordaeron royal city is located. It is the hometown of the Blue Dragon and the holy place of the Dragon Clan. Most of the places are cold and dead tundra.
For ordinary people, Northrend is a remote area full of unknowns and mystery. In fact, for most people, they have never heard of this place at all, let alone seen people coming from there. Therefore, when Jara spoke the name "Norrend", his tone was a bit unbelievable, as if he didn't believe what the person said.
"What did that person ask you to do?"
"Stealing Dragon Egg."
After saying that, Jala looked calm, as if she was waiting for the dragon in front of her to swallow him in one bite.
"So you didn't confess this to Master Nefarios."
"At that time, I had already caught a goblin stealing and selling black dragon eggs." The goblin said helplessly: "I secretly expelled the criminals from the Black Stone Tower and blocked the news to prevent the goblins from talking about this matter, and warned them that if there was a second time, it would be the death penalty."
"But how do I say, how do I curb my greed? That person's bid is quite high. I don't even know where a person who wears a country bumpkin came from so many ancient sacrificial ritual vessels. Those things are real, and some can be recorded only in the elves sealed by the sages."
Jara became more and more excited as she said: "I even found a high elf scholar to identify... and he even wanted to take it for himself, so I had no choice but to deal with him."
"Damn it." Dahl grabbed the goblin leader by the neck and raised him: "You are obviously involved in this matter, otherwise where would you get these rewards?"
"Calm down! Dahl!" Jala tightly pinched Dahl's arm and whispered: "Don't alarm the dragon man over there! These rewards are just the property of the goblin I confiscated who steals eggs privately!"
Dahl glanced at the dragon man at the gate far behind him with his eyes, making sure they didn't pay special attention to the noise here, and then put Jala down.
"The black dragon egg is very unstable, especially the dragon eggs transported out in the hatching room, which will be hatched soon. I know that there are goblins who want to steal the dragon eggs and are killed by the broken black dragon on the plain outside the Black Rock Mountain. This has happened three or four times. This makes me a headache. Dahl, do you think I am unwilling to solve these problems? But I don't have the courage, so I can only hide them all. I am afraid that the master will kill me if he knows it."
"Now this matter is out of control in your hands."
"I will find a way..." The goblin sat on the side with his forehead, and begged: "I just ask you not to tell Lord Nefarios about this."
Dahl looked at the goblin and was curious about who that person was.
A strange man from Northrend has countless ancient treasures and uses them to exchange for the black dragon egg, and it is a dragon egg that is about to hatch.
Is it the Scourge?
The Scourge Army was the undead army created by the undead plague that raged half of the continent ten years later. The initiator was the first generation of lich kings hiding at the top of Northrend's North Pole - the old orc shaman Neozu, who was resurrected from the dead.
During the invasion of natural disasters, the giant dragon that once used the power of the dead to resurrect the dead became the undead dragon and fought for the Lich King. In the undead legion, there are also examples of cultivating plague dragons from the beginning of the young dragons.
If Dahl remembers correctly, the Lich King was mobilizing his undead legion to fight against the ancient race of Spider Demon Kingdom under Northrend. Many Spider Demon have become slaves of the Lich King after death. The Spider Demon's treasures and ritual tools are enough to make the Lich King's servants appear rich and mysterious.
But all this is not certain, and Dahl cannot assert that person's identity because of speculation. After all, the Scourge Legion has not yet been completely formed at this moment, and the Lich King should still be secretly stabilizing his own position.
However, Dahl did not expect a series of problems that led to the Black Stone Tower by an agent from MI7 infiltrating, and of course he should not be in charge of this book.
Dahl thought for a while and handed the dragon egg to Jara and said, "I don't want to meddle in other people's business, goblins, but you can't make similar mistakes again. If the Dragon Beast Guard or the Dragon Man finds that your subordinates are stealing the egg, the consequences will not be something I can cover up for you."
"Of course I understand!"
Jala felt much more at ease when she saw the young dragon not asking further, but he also knew what this meant. It was uncomfortable to be caught in the braid.
For a moment, he regretted confessing this to the young dragon in front of him, but if he pretended not to know, the consequences would be much more serious when it hit the King of Black Stone. Not to mention that if Onyxia knew about it, the goblins on Azeroth would become history in a few years.
