Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 1239: The Invincible Gotrek

Gragrim's behavior was not unexpected. The change in the relationship with the elves was a major event that the dwarves had not seen for thousands of years. The state of contradiction existed in everyone's heart.

According to the previous practice, such an insult to the son of Balagu must be recorded in the Dragonbeard Clan's hatred book, but the dwarves pay attention to the blood gold oath. If they cannot pay with blood, they will give an equal amount of gold.

This is the standard of hatred, and it is also their own standard. Saving the Butcher King... Although saving the Butcher sounds absurd and shameful, Agrim cannot die. This is the consensus of the dwarves.

Gragrim's indignant expression, and the excitement after hearing a few mutterings when he stood behind his father, fully demonstrated the unreliability of the little mustache.

The butcher wanted to die, but that didn't mean he wanted to see his children die. But dying on the road of honor to find his ancestors was a great encouragement to the clan... This contradictory mentality was always the thought of the son of Balaguer, and Gragrim was the only son of Agrim. Judging from his transformed physical condition, he probably couldn't ask for a second set. Letting the War Undertaker join the search for the Eternal Castle was a huge risk.

The other butcher didn't have such great worries. When Gotrek came to the guild hall with his blonde secretary, his restless eyes quickly calmed down.

When the white dwarf had fulfilled his long-cherished wish and left, the strongest warrior in the Mountain Kingdom was Agrim... and the High King on the main seat symbolized the orthodoxy of the ancestors, which made Gotrek feel awed.

"High King."

"High King."

The Xiaoqiang duo nodded and greeted Thorgrim on the main seat. As for the elves next to them... it was best to pretend not to see them and say nothing.

"Hmm..." Thorgrim nodded slightly, as a response to the greeting. His mind was not on Xiaoqiang and the other two, but focused on looking at the battle axe hanging on Gotrek's waist.

Judging from the specifications, the battle axe Gotrek carried was a bit strange in shape. It was much larger than a one-handed battle axe, but it was more delicate and compact than a two-handed axe.

Legend has it that when Grimnir witnessed the death of countless children during the Chaos invasion, the anger of the mountains filled his heart and he turned into a giant and killed towards the north.

According to the information collected so far, there are two weapons in the Kingdom of Mountains that are clearly derived from Grimnir, namely the White Dwarf Battle Axe and the Axe of the High King. Both of them are two-handed giant axes that fit the dwarf's body shape.

Only the one in Gotrek's hand... It looks a bit strange just from the appearance.

"Gotrek, can you tell me how you found the rune axe on your waist?"

The one-eyed Gotrek was surprised. He thought that the High King had called him for some important event, such as accountability for the sins of the lord he killed that year, and joining the expeditionary army to wash away the shame with his life.

"Not long ago, when I was still an engineer, I organized an expedition with my compatriots to go deep into a lost fortress in the Chaos Wasteland and found this rune axe at the bottom of the mountain fortress."

Gotrek drew out the axe. Judging from the shape, it was a weapon with a few rune marks on the handle, and it was definitely not the carrier of Grimnir's will as Imrik said.

But the dwarves have their own unique way of verification. Torek, who was called urgently, was burdened with the task of awakening the ancestral gods. The rune master walked to Gotrek's side with solemnity, stared at the rune axe and said softly.

"Can I see this rune axe?"

"Of course."

Gottrek didn't think too much about it. If Torek wasn't qualified to check the axe, there was no one else in the world who was qualified.

Torek stroked the rune axe, and his expression changed from solemnity to surprise, then to worry, and finally to surprise.

He bit his lip and returned the rune axe to Gotrek, his voice coming out from between his teeth. "Stay in Altdorf for a few days... No, stay near the palace."

Don't ask why the elders say this, this is the rule of the dwarves. Even if Gotrek has many doubts, he won't ask more: "Yes."

The High King wanted Gotrek to leave first and discuss a feasible plan. He must have an important mission and is the one chosen by the ancestors... This ability should not be used as a wandering mercenary, but should be devoted to the great cause of reviving the Kingdom of Mountains.

This was the High King's idea, but Thorgrim, who respected the ancestral gods, was worried about this idea. If his arrangement disrupted Grimnir's plan, wouldn't it interfere with the will of the ancestors?

With his heart that could send the remains of Caledor II on his own, he was in hesitation at this moment.

"Wait." Imrik, who had not spoken, licked his lips and looked a little excited under the dwarf's solemn gaze.

Gotrek... the most failed butcher. There are many legends about him, but without exception, there is one thing in common: the one-eyed butcher is almost impossible to die.

This does not mean that Gotrek is extremely powerful. According to the information collected by the Phoenix King, Gotrek, who had just finished his trip to the Southland, was turned into a wild boar running around in a cage by a spell of Khalida. He was injured and even dying many times... This also made Gotrek's resume have some minor problems.

Gotrek is invincible in the world, which makes Imrik a little curious about how powerful this unkillable dwarf is.

The Phoenix King's slightly rising fighting spirit made the High King's beard blow. The dwarves also got detailed information about Gotrek from the elves. Although his achievements were comparable to those of the famous warriors in the mountains, he was still a little bit inferior to Imrik.

Now Thorgrim's idea was naturally to protect Gotrek and find Grimnir's will.

"Imric, this is different from what we said before."

"That's right, if you want to fight... I'll be your opponent." Agrim was not willing to be outdone, and Dago's Axe hung on the ground, showing solemnity.

The elves cannot be allowed to interfere, this is the consensus of the dwarves. If this guy uses some method to erase the path to find Grimnir, it will be a disaster for the mountains.

For a moment, the dwarves were eager to try, as if they wanted to reproduce the feat of Gotrek Starbreaker. Even Torek, who always had some respect for Imric, thought that the elves were too involved.

Imric smiled, and helplessly spread his body and sat back in the chair: "I say, fellow dwarves, if it is according to what was said before, Gotrek is not a weakling..."

Agrim glanced at Gotrek and made a firm judgment.

"He is indeed not weak, but not strong enough."

This is clear, and I will not let Imrik take any chances. Even if the possibility of the elves' dirty tricks is only one in ten thousand, the dwarf is unwilling to take this risk.

With Torek's actions just now, it has been proved that the rune axe is the weapon that Grimnir left in the mortal world, and how an engineer can accomplish such a feat after changing his job to a butcher must be arranged by the God of War. (End of this chapter)
