240 Spring-rain Pavillion (1/2)
Ironcliff Fortress, Wang Yu had heard Ming Du mention this place before.
It was located within Thunderstorm City.
Thunderstorm City was located between the faction of light and the faction of darkness, it was a strategic location between the two factions.
Ironcliff Fortress had a rather peculiar background story, amongst all the cities in >. Legend had it that Ironcliff Fortress had been established by the dwarves and it warmly welcomed elves and gnomes alike. It was a place where all three races were accepted.
Because all three races worked in harmony there, the crafting and technology in the fortress was unparalleled throughout the lands.
The impenetrable metals that the dwarves could forge were used to reinforce the walls of the fortress, making it truly impregnable.
The technology of the gnomes were used to manufacture flying magic warships.
The elves intergrated these new found technology with their traditional weapons. Creating weapons that were powered by magic crystals
According to the lore, the forces of darkness had tried to conquer Ironcliff fortress twice, only to have their army completed decimated both times.
But a change had occurred in Ironcliff Fortress after they had defeated the forces of darkness in the second war, causing this impregnable fortress to become the greatest laughing stock in >.
No matter how sturdy the exterior of a fortress was, there was always the possibility that it would crumble from the inside.
Because of their racial differences, an internal war had erupted between these three races. At the end of the war, the gnomes were forced to leave, the elves were massacred and the dwarves became the masters of Ironcliff Fortress.
The war had left the fortress in shambles, a mere shadow of its past. When the darkness descended this time, Ironcliff Fortress had allied itself with the faction of light, this becoming one of the subsidiary lands to Thunderstorm City.
”Mind Du, are you still in Thunderstorm City?” Wang Yu sent a message to the guild chat.
”Yup!”
Such a short reply was very uncharacteristic of Ming Du, causing Wang Yu to feel a little worried.
”Are you being hunted down Old Li?” Spring Halo asked.
”Yup!” Ming Du replied once again.
”So what happened this time...” Spring Halo calmly asked.
”Scram!”
”Old Bull, are you going to Thunderstorm City as well?” Spring Halo asked Wang Yu.
”Yup, I am!”
”Why are you going there?” Spring Halo continued asking.
”Brother Spring are you really free right now?” Wang Yu questioned.
”Yes I am... In fact, I'm going to the airship towards Thunderstorm City right now!” Spring Halo replied
”What's up with Thunderstorm City?” Wang Yu thought: ”Why are there so many quests there?”
”F*ck! Spring Dog, Old Bull, what are you guys doing! Please tell me our quests won't coincide!” Ming Du suddenly said.
”I'm going to Ironcliff Fortress to look for the Cultivator's diary!” Spring Halo replied.
”I'm going to Ironcliff Fortress to look for Simba's Pen-Ruler!” Wang Yu replied.
”What the f*ck! I'm supposed to look for Ryan's Training Manual in Ironcliff Fortress!” Ming Du exclaimed.
”Well from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like our quests will pit us against each other...” Wang Yu scratched his head as he replied.
