Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
Lu Li brought his sister with him as they left Jiangnan, but not many people saw them off.
Water Fairy was going to co. She was Lu Li’s only friend in this city, but she couldn’t make it in the end. Sothing had probably gotten in her way.
Square Root 3 drove himself to pick up the siblings; he had always been a valuable man. After he had beco the guild master of Ruling Sword, not only did he have a share in the guild, but Lu Li treated him well too.
The car he drove was brand new and was also one of the safest models.
"Do you want it? You can have this one; I have a lot of cars," Square Root 3 offered.
"Three, are you showing off? I didn’t know you were so rich," Lu Li said as he shook his head.
"Hehe, speaking of rich, no one can beat her right," Square Root 3 laughed. "What I an is that next ti you co to Jinling, you should have your own car. You’re a public figure now."
"How much is this car?" Lu Li asked. He was a little tempted, but then quickly waved his hand and said, "Never mind – I don’t have a license!"
Square Root 3 felt slightly sympathetic towards his new boss.
There were no players in the ga right now, but all the storylines proceeded as normal.
"My friend, you should co out. Did you learn to play coy from the elental princess?" the Gno Thief finally spoke as he stared at the marble.
"Does ti hold any value to you?" Zaetar asked as he appeared on the chair opposite to the Gno, choosing to co out of the marble.
If Lu Li saw this, he would be very surprised because he thought that Zaetar would never have entered the marble. People with real power never let themselves fall under anyone else’s control.
"My friend, why have you ignored my call?" the Gno asked.
"Thermaplugg, are you still dreaming about your kingdom? Is authority really so attractive to you?"
Zaetar’s golden eyes were filled with spite. Although he was just in spirit form, he had no fear for the Gno.
Thermaplugg, kgineer Sicco Thermaplugg!
Many people would know this na, especially Gno players, and even those who weren’t interested in history. After all, he was greatest traitor of the Gno race.
kgineer Thermaplugg was once The Great Tinkerer, highly skilled and filled with wisdom.
He wasn’t just any Tinkerer – in the eyes of Gnos, this title was symbolic of an authority, an authority which placed him as greater than all other Gnos, except one. Besides The High Tinkerer, all Gnos paid him great respect.
For hundreds of years, the Gno race never had a king or a queen. They preferred to choose their own pri minister to make and enforce their laws. The pri minister of Gnoregan was The High Tinkerer, Gelbin kkatorque. The Great Tinkerer was his political and skill advisor, his right and left arm.
Thermaplugg was a weak Gno, even when he was younger, but he was talented and was destined to beco The Great Tinkerer. He would eventually beco friends with kkatorque and lead the rise of the Gnos together.
He pictured a vast kingdom outside of Gnoregan, one that would split the entire west Dun Morogh. He even ford an alliance with the Dwarves nearby. It seed like nothing could stop him.
However, it was at the sa ti when an ancient and savage Rockjaw appeared from underground and invaded Gnoregan.
This was during the ti when the Burning Legion had invaded. The Gnos realized that their ally needed to focus on the Burning Legion, so they decided to use their own strength to battle the current threat.
According to the legends, Thermaplugg used a radioactive poison that spread across the entire city. This stopped the invader, but it also killed even more Gnos. The Great Tinkerer himself also stayed in Gnoregan and was apparently afflicted with Leprosy.
Whether it was true or not didn’t matter – history was always written by the victor.
"Don’t spread your rage onto , Zaetar. I’m an Engineer and a Thief," the Gno said slowly after a mont of silence.
"But you’re still full of rage yourself," Zaetar laughed. "How does it feel to be betrayed by your friend?"
"I wasn’t betrayed, Zaetar. You’re like a child who can’t get his toy, a sha to your identity as the son of a Demigod. Remulos is truly stronger than you," Thermaplugg shot back.
"Not betrayed? Haha, Thermaplugg, everyone says that you set the bomb off. So many Gnos died – the old and the young..." Zaetar rambled on, laughing in a crazed manner.
"I did set off the bomb, and not only did I set off the bomb, but I was also the one who invented it. Did I not receive a portion of Ivy’s inheritance? I saw with my own eyes, the children falling before one by one. They all died because of ," Thermaplugg spoke through clenched teeth, his eyes beginning to glow blood-red.
"And kkatorque beca a hero – the greatest leader of the Gnos. You’re just a lowly rat to him," Zaetar continued.
"I won’t kill you, Zaetar," Thermaplugg’s said as his red eyes returned to normal. "We’re friends, aren’t we?"
"Yes, we’re friends," Zaetar affird as he ford his body, which looked nothing different from a normal Keepers of the Grove. At the very least, no one would think that he was only just a spirit.
"Is it really worth it to kill yourself just to bait out your father?" Thermaplugg sighed as he pushed forward a cup of yellow looking liquid.
"Apparently, it’s not enough to kill just one," Zaetar said as he pulled up the corner of his lips. He had perfectly inherited the appearance and composure of a Demigod; even a simple expression of his looked enchanting.
"So you asked to assassinate your brother, but unfortunately, he’s too strong."
Thermaplugg pulled off his mask, revealing a deep injury that still remained on his face. The power of nature constantly eroded his skin; he couldn’t recover, no matter what he did.
"Was this the reason why you’ve co to ?" Zaetar asked as he reached out his hand, pulling over a green glow from a far-away distance.
It wasn’t that he was stronger than Thermaplugg, but that this power was the sa as his. With the slightest thought, it left Thermaplugg, like a creek that eventually returned to the sea.
