Diego did not immediately start making his own new musket.
It took him a week to perfect the design in his head.
Then, after telling Masrae that he was going to be busy for a while and wouldn't be back for a long time, he made his way to the Dwarven District in the northwest corner of Stormwind City alone.
For defensive reasons, the various districts of Stormwind are practically separate from each other.
These districts, which are naturally divided into areas by canals, are surrounded by a thick ring of walls, forming an existence similar to a city within a city.
Even if the enemy breaches one of the districts, they will not be able to quickly take the adjacent area.
This gives the defenders time and support to hold or fight back.
Heading north from the Old Town, across the canal, he passed through a gate to a place that was very different from the rest.
This is the gathering place of the dwarves in Stormwind, and is mostly inhabited by Copperbeard Dwarves, but there are also a few Brutehammer Dwarves who were the first to follow Kudran?
The Griffon Knights who joined the Alliance, injured or tired of war, lived their lives in seclusion in the Dwarven Quarters, where the Dwarves' superior blacksmithing skills allowed them to live a very nourishing life on human soil.
The Dwarven Quarter is also inhabited by a number of gnomes, most of whom are engaged in the sale of engineering items, but to be honest, their business is not very good, because in everyone's mind, the engineering creations of the gnomes, although more reliable than the goblins, are also limited.
This is not without reason.
It is said that deep in the dwarven quarters, there is an underground railway run by gnomes to Ironforge, but to be honest, this railway is not that safe.
Unless forced to do so, few people take the initiative to take the ride.
If you've heard.
Even King Magni of the Copperbeard Dwarves?
When Copperbeard visits Stormwind, he is riding in the Goblin Merchant's airship.
You know how unreliable this subway is.
The Black Iron Dwarven inhabitants are the least numerous minority in the Dwarven District, but these Dwarves are the most unsociable, only caring about their own business and not caring at all about what is happening around them, as if the whole world has nothing to do with them.
Diego was looking for such a dwarf.
Most of the people who live in the dwarven area are engaged in mining and blacksmithing, and smoke billows from the chimneys of countless smelting furnaces and forge workshops.
Even if you stand in the Valley of Heroes, you can see the clouds and haze formed by these thick clouds of smoke hanging over the dwarven area.
Truth be told, the dwarves always had a way of making the place they lived as hot and dark as Ironforge.
As soon as you enter the dwarven quarters, the most you hear is the clanging sound of the hammer hitting the tire and the sizzle of the fiery iron billet quenching.
The soot and soot in the air make it a thick haze, and even during the day, you can only see the figures of longing and the red glow of the fire.
It's easy for people who aren't familiar with this place to go the wrong way and get lost in the alleys here.
For ordinary people, this is a very dangerous situation - the dwarves are very simple, but that doesn't mean that there are no bad people among them, otherwise there would be no cutthroat alley behind the Lady Boulevard Tavern in the dwarven quarters But that doesn't bother Diego for this place.
He was as familiar as a snake who had lived here for many years.
He walked north along the main road of the dwarven quarters, stopping at almost the center of the block.
The place where he stayed was a very quaint façade - or the door of a dilapidated blacksmith's shop.
Unlike other shops, this place is deserted in front of the door, and there are obviously fewer pedestrians.
Diego looked up.
I saw a burning furnace painted on the signboard at the door, and a line of lingua franca was written underneath it - "Deep Furnace Forge Workshop".
This is exactly where he is going, Diego confirmed.
Then he took a step and walked in.
"Welcome, Keita?
Deep Furnace is here to help.
Follow this welcome message.
Diego looked into the shop.
He blinked to adjust to the dim surroundings inside.
It's not big inside the shop.
A long counter takes up nearly a third of the space, and there aren't even many people standing on the opposite side of the counter.
There are some weapons on the counter, but there are also mining tools such as pickaxes, pickaxes, and pointed shovels.
It was a dwarven female standing behind the counter, plump — well, few dwarves who weren't plump, she had fiery red hair — something very rare among Black Iron Dwarves, and Diego guessed she had Copperbeard Dwarf blood.
Her skin is pale, and her eyes are the typical red of a black iron dwarf.

"Let's take a look," Diego said casually, his head down, looking at the weapons on the counter.
Although he didn't know how to forge weapons, he could also see that the standard of these weapons and tools was not very good, and he really had a reputation for being forged by dwarves.
"Is that all?"
He looked at it for a moment, then looked up and said.
"You want a better weapon?"
The dwarf girl said in some surprise.
Because most of the people who come here to buy weapons are mercenaries and adventurers who don't have much money, these goods on the counter can basically meet their needs, and few people ask for higher quality.
Moreover, they may not be able to afford more expensive weapons.
"Yes, if your blacksmithing will satisfy me."
Diego said with some conceit, he said it on purpose, only then could he meet the person he wanted to see.
"Please follow me."
Sure enough, as he expected, the dwarf girl was enraged by his words, and she angrily pushed open the door to the backyard and headed inside.
Most of the buildings in the dwarf area are independent courtyards in the style of front shops and back shops.
Behind the wooden door, Diego was greeted by a small courtyard, where an iron-smelting furnace and forging shed took up most of the space.
Add to that the two living rooms, and the yard is so crowded that there's no room for anything.
It is a dwarven forge and resting place.
Keita?
The deep furnace stopped in front of a living room door, then knocked softly.
However, in the next moment, an irritable voice suddenly rang out "Don't bother me, I'm busy!"
"Old man, if you continue to be busy like this, we won't have any rice to cook!"
The dwarven girl snarled in exasperation, her voice sounding no smaller than her father's.
Impatient, she slammed the door open.
Rushed in.
There was a splash of water in the room.
Diego walked curiously to the door and looked inside.
By the sunlight that comes in through the doorway.
He saw a drenched black iron dwarf slumped drunkenly on a wide-backed chair beside the table.
There were several wine bottles lying on the table, and a silver-white hammer was scattered in the center of the table.
In front of the table.
The dwarf girl was flushed with anger and carried an empty bucket in her hand.
He was a rugged-looking black iron dwarf, with a stout body, and his poor attitude towards life was evident in his mushy eyes, his beard seemed to have never been groomed, and it was covered with wine stains and food scraps.
He was shirtless, and he wore a blacksmith's apron, which was greasy.
Its original color is no longer visible.
"Serrum?
Deep Furnace, I salute you on behalf of Orphest and Born Knight.
Diego walked straight into the room and bowed to the old dwarf.
"You are?"
Deep Furnace asked in disbelief, his eyes glinting dangerously, and one hand had quietly grasped the handle of the hammer on the table.
Diego knew that if he couldn't say one, two, three quickly, the hammer might hit him on the head in the next second.
If he agrees, of course.
"Maybe you should take a look at this ......," Diego said calmly, reaching into his pocket.
The movement is very slow, so as not to cause misunderstanding among the old dwarves.
After more than ten seconds, he took the bronze badge out of his bag and reached for it.
The deep furnace took it in disbelief.
I put it in my hand and looked at it.

He still didn't let go of the hammer on the table.
However, in the next moment, he Huo Ran stood up from his chair, his face full of excitement and excitement.
"Keita.
You go to the front and look at the shop first, and I'll talk to this gentleman about the business.
He held his breath. sent his daughter out first.
Although surprised by the great change in her father, the dwarf girl was pleased with the old man's positive attitude.
She happily walked outside.
"Keita didn't know my mission.
She just thought we were here to do business, but in fact, she had always been in charge of the workshop business, and I didn't care much about it, at most she just randomly put a few pieces out in her free time.
Most of the business downturn you see is due to this.
"Looking at my daughter's back, Serrum?
Deep Furnace said with some guilt, he collected his thoughts, turned his head, and looked at Diego.
"Serrum?
Deep Furnace at your service!
He cleaned up his poor appearance, and then saluted solemnly.
"You're so polite."
Diego was taken aback, and he hurriedly replied.
"No, maybe you don't know what this badge represents," Serum said, looking at the bronze badge in his hand with an anvil surrounded by flames, his face full of reverence, "This is a badge given by my clan to those of his fellow aliens who have made great contributions to the Black Iron Dwarves, and whoever holds this badge can ask anyone he sees the Black Iron Dwarves to do anything for him."
Its name is the Friend of the Black Iron, and since the time of Anwemar, the King of the Mountains, this badge has been given no more than the fingers of both hands. ” Diego realized how much the Brotherhood of Thorsilver cared for him.
"Perhaps, I should have done more for these fugitives."
He thought to himself.
"Orpheste and Born Knight, are they all right?"
The old dwarf asked with concern, it had been too long since he had heard from the Thorsilver Watchtower.
"Not bad, at least much better than before."
Diego replied.
He gave Serum a brief?
The Deep Furnace recounted some of the current state and changes in the Thorium Brotherhood, and although he deliberately concealed some of his role, the old dwarf was keenly aware of the significance of his actions to the Black Iron Dwarves.
"Allow me to express my gratitude to you once again."
He saluted solemnly again, and when he straightened up, his face was full of determination and excitement, and it was evident that at this time, even if Diego asked him to give his life, he had no objection, "What can I do for you, dear sir?"
” "I need to build a weapon, and I need your help."
Diego explained the meaning, "So what are we waiting for?"
He strode out of the door and walked in the direction of the forge shed, shouting in the direction of the shop, "Keita, my boy, go get our best silverstone coal, we're going to open the furnace." ” Diego heard a cheerful shout from the other side, and then he heard the sound of rummaging through the cabinets.
"We still need to wait for someone to come, who is an archmage and can be of great help to us."
Diego hurriedly stopped him and said.
