Muradin hid in the secret room containing the Titan's relics. The secret room itself was also a Titan relic. After becoming the king of Ironforge, he was automatically recognized by the secret room.
Facing Moira's army, Muradin was not worried. Even in the heyday of the Dark Iron dwarves, with the support of Ragnaros, they were still no match for the dwarves of Ironforge.
What's more, Moira is a female, it is her first time to lead an army in a war, and she is inexperienced.
In addition, Emperor Thaurissan's generals who are experienced in fighting have been basically cleaned up, and they are nothing more than a black iron army that is strong on the outside and capable on the inside.
Muradin is most worried about the Titan relic in Moira's hands, the Hammer of Dreams, a weapon that can kill people invisible. He must find a way to deal with it.
In the secret room, Muradin found the manual for the use of Titan relics. After reading it carefully, he realized that it turned out that Titan relics had various terrible side effects and should not be used lightly.
What reassures Muradin is that it is not difficult to deal with the Dream Hammer. There are many Titan relics that can do it. Magni was taken advantage of by the Dream Hammer because he underestimated the enemy.
At the same time, Muradin also confirmed that the god the Bronzebeard family serves is the moon god Elune.
Muradin found the notes of his predecessors, which contained detailed records.
"The moment we entered the secret chamber, the radiance of the Moon Goddess fell from the sky, filling the entire secret chamber with soft light, and the majestic voice of the Moon Goddess Elune rang in our ears.
"I was flattered, kneeling in the glory of the Moon God, listening to the Moon God's teachings..."
Muradin was baffled as to why he did not receive such treatment?
Reading the handwriting left by his predecessors again, Muradin found many similar clues. When he entered the secret chamber for the first time after succeeding as king, he would receive the oracle of the moon god.
Muradin was frightened for a while, and quickly thought of a possibility.
Maybe my brother Magni Bronzebeard is not really dead, and it is inevitable that the king will return one day.
Muradin warned him not to harm Moira's life.
"It's hard to be the king of Ironforge!"
Muradin thought for a long time, but could not think of a suitable way, and decided to fulfill his promise to Prince Anduin first.
Muradin found a frozen human man. Looking at this handsome face, Muradin thought of many past events.
"A smart young man who often gave advice to Magni. Unfortunately, he died too early."
Muradin used Titan relics to change his appearance and fabricate his memories.
After receiving Muradin's invitation, Prince Anduin came to meet Muradin.
In order to show his determination to return to seclusion, Anduin invited a skilled dwarf blacksmith to make an iron mask of the Lion King and gave the only key to Muradin for safekeeping.
Anduin and Muradin were standing together. In the opposite room, a young man who looked exactly like Anduin was sitting on a chair, reading a book quietly.
"It's so similar." Anduin praised.
Muradin said slightly with satisfaction:
"This is a human noble young man. Like you, he has been pampered since childhood and is proficient in the etiquette and habits among nobles. During the war with the Lich King, his family went bankrupt and fled to Ironforge. He accidentally died of illness. My
My brother thought his appearance was very similar to yours, so he preserved his body, but he didn’t expect it to come in handy.”
Anduin was secretly surprised. They said that dwarves were honest and kind, but it turned out that they were also full of intrigues.
Looking carefully at the young man in front of him, Anduin asked hesitantly: "Although he looks exactly the same as me, why do I feel a little weird?"
Muradin smiled and said: "What I copied was not all of your memories. I made some deletions and added some family affection and love. For example, he had great respect for King Varian, was extremely obsessed with the savior Thrall, and was willing to do it for Ai
Xerath died."
Anduin chuckled: "It turned out to be a fool, so I'm relieved. But can I deceive Jaina? Jaina is a great mage, and her methods are extraordinary."
Muradin smiled lightly and said:
"You don't need to deceive Jaina, you just need to deceive Thrall. Jaina worked hard to get 'Prince Anduin'. She definitely doesn't want to cause more trouble. If she is smart, she will definitely pretend to be confused."
Anduin thought for a moment and realized that Jaina was indeed this kind of person, and he took a deep breath and said:
"A perfect plan, King Muradin. I will not live in seclusion in Ironforge for nothing. I have also established many connections in Stormwind City and have a lot of information. If one day there is a conflict between the dwarves and humans, I will definitely
Side with the dwarves."
Muradin smiled and waved his hands and said:
"It doesn't matter, humans and dwarves will always be friends. But now there is a problem. Moira leads the Dark Iron dwarves to approach Ironforge. The dwarves in Ironforge are not afraid of the Dark Iron dwarves. As early as the Three Hammers War, the Black Iron Dwarves
Even the iron dwarves and Wildhammer dwarves are no match for us."
Later, Muradin said with a sad face:
"After all, Moira is a bloodline of the Bronzebeard family. I really don't want to hurt the peace, and I don't want to see the dwarves running into rivers of blood. I don't know what to do."
Anduin thought about it for a long time, his mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to do.
Muradin continued:
"You have seen that my brother turned into a diamond, but he did not die. I have a hunch that my brother will come back one day. I am already the leader of the frost dwarves, and I really don't want to mess with the muddy waters of Ironforge.
.”
Anduin understood. It turned out that Muradin was afraid of his brother Magni's return, worried that his throne would be shaken, and his life might even be at risk.
Anduin rolled his eyes and thought about it.
"If you are the king of Ironforge, this position must be given up when King Bronzebeard returns. But if there are three kings sitting on the throne, King Bronzebeard may lose his courage. You still control Ironforge.
, nothing was lost.”
Muradin's eyes lit up when he heard this.
As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone. As long as the Bronzebeard family, the Dark Iron dwarves, and the Wildhammer dwarves unite, even Magni's return will not be able to do anything.
Muradin said enthusiastically:
"Since the death of Modimus Anvilmar, the King of the Mountains, the dwarves have been divided into three and have never been unified again. Perhaps this is an opportunity for us to put aside our old grudges and unite."
The army of Dark Iron dwarves approached Ironforge and set up camp near Karanos.
A letter was delivered to Moira. Moira opened the letter with a look of surprise on her face. It turned out to be an autographed letter left by her father.
"Moira, when you read this letter, I'm afraid I've had an accident. You must be wondering why I don't pass the throne to you. The Bronzebeard family has always ruled Ironforge with wisdom and strength.
, but there is a terrible curse wrapped around our heads. Every generation of Ironforge kings will suffer painful torture in their later years. In order to get rid of this curse, the ancestors tried to give up the throne of Ironforge to the Anvilmar family, but
Still to no avail.
"I failed to solve the curse in my lifetime, and I wanted to pass this task on to you. Just the day before yesterday, I realized that I owe you too much. I am not a qualified father. All I can do is not let you
Inherit this tragic fate."
"Damn it!"
A ball of flame condensed in Moira's palm, burning up her father's letters, with a look of anger on her face.
