Chapter 705: The Great Tinkerer


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 come . She was Lu Li's only friend in this city, but she couldn't make it in the end . Something 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 become 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 mean is that next time you come 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 game right now, but all the storylines proceeded as normal .

"My friend, you should come out . Did you learn to play coy from the elemental princess?" the Gnome Thief finally spoke as he stared at the marble .

"Does time hold any value to you?" Zaetar asked as he appeared on the chair opposite to the Gnome, choosing to come 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 Gnome 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 Gnome .

Thermaplugg, Mekgineer Sicco Thermaplugg!

Many people would know this name, especially Gnome players, and even those who weren't interested in history . After all, he was greatest traitor of the Gnome race .


Mekgineer Thermaplugg was once The Great Tinkerer, highly skilled and filled with wisdom .

He wasn't just any Tinkerer – in the eyes of Gnomes, this title was symbolic of an authority, an authority which placed him as greater than all other Gnomes, except one . Besides The High Tinkerer, all Gnomes paid him great respect .

For hundreds of years, the Gnome race never had a king or a queen . They preferred to choose their own prime minister to make and enforce their laws . The prime minister of Gnomeregan was The High Tinkerer, Gelbin Mekkatorque . The Great Tinkerer was his political and skill advisor, his right and left arm .

Thermaplugg was a weak Gnome, even when he was younger, but he was talented and was destined to become The Great Tinkerer . He would eventually become friends with Mekkatorque and lead the rise of the Gnomes together .

He pictured a vast kingdom outside of Gnomeregan, one that would split the entire west Dun Morogh . He even formed an alliance with the Dwarves nearby . It seemed like nothing could stop him .

However, it was at the same time when an ancient and savage Rockjaw appeared from underground and invaded Gnomeregan .

This was during the time when the Burning Legion had invaded . The Gnomes 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 Gnomes . The Great Tinkerer himself also stayed in Gnomeregan 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 me, Zaetar . I'm an Engineer and a Thief," the Gnome said slowly after a moment 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 shame 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 Gnomes 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 me one by one . They all died because of me," Thermaplugg spoke through clenched teeth, his eyes beginning to glow blood-red .

"And Mekkatorque became a hero – the greatest leader of the Gnomes . 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 affirmed as he formed 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 me 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 come to me?" 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 same as his . With the slightest thought, it left Thermaplugg, like a creek that eventually returned to the sea .
