Robbie's childhood friend, the son of Mayor Solomon of Lakeside Town, the human sorcerer Rehoboam.
Robbie was extremely reluctant to hear that an old friend was coming to visit.
Medivh destroyed the Lunarfall. Luobo'an was heartbroken after the death of his most trusted follower, the female Elf Druid who could turn into a rabbit. Luobo'a Robbie his childhood friend would have some understanding of the situation.
To Robbie's surprise, Luobo'an joined the Peace Dove a few days later.
Upon closer reflection, it's not surprising. Faced with overwhelming and irresistible absolute power, most people choose to submit, and only a very few dare to resist.
Ever since Luobo'an sided with the Peace Dove, he has become arrogant and overbearing.
Luobo'an's fortress repairs were progressing slowly, and he frequently came to Robbie's fortress inn to eat and drink extravagantly, taking food and drinks with him, and always putting the bill under Robbie's name.
Robbie turned a blind eye; now that he was wealthy and powerful, he didn't bother with him.
"What's this guy up to now? Is he going to borrow money again?"
Robbie was quite startled to see Luobo'an in his private room at the fortress inn.
This childhood friend, who was obsessed with beautiful Succubus, is now listless and lifeless. He sits there blankly, holding a wine glass in both hands, like a withered old tree stump.
"Luobo'an, what happened? Where's your Succubus?" Robbie looked around, but Luobo'an's ever-present Succubus, "***," was nowhere to be seen.
Upon seeing Robbie, Luobo'an knelt down with a thud and cried, "Robbie, save me!"
"A man's knees are worth gold," Robbie said, "This must be something serious." Robbie quickly helped Luobo'an up and comforted him, "Don't worry, tell me slowly, what happened? I heard you sided with the Peace Dove, were you kicked out?"
After drinking a glass of water, Luobo'an felt a little better, tears streaming down his face. He shook his head and said, "If only I had been kicked out, Robbie. I was chosen to be the twentieth person. They all say it's a great honor."
"What is the twentieth person?" Robbie asked curiously.
"The twentieth person to negotiate with Ner'zhul." Luobo'an wiped away tears, sobbing uncontrollably. "General Shanmiusen said, 'Sincerity can move mountains.' As long as we tirelessly seek peace, we will one day move Ner'zhul. We sent nineteen negotiators before, and none of them returned. I am the twentieth."
General Shanmiusen, the leader of the Peace Dove in the Lunarfall, is backed by Prince Anduin.
Speaking of General Shanmiusen, he can be considered a legendary figure in Stormwind City. He started as a major, serving under King Varian as part of the King Varian Guard. Although he was close to the highest power center of the Alliance, he was taciturn and not good at socializing, and failed to gain King Varian's favor.
Major Shanmiusen rose to prominence because he seized an opportunity.
That was the era when Deathwing, and the shadow of destruction loomed over Azeroth.
A renowned adventurer brought back evidence from Mount Hyjal, guiding SI:7 Stormwind City and cleverly involving Prince Anduin. Ultimately, all clues pointed to the young Prince Anduin, almost confirming his collusion with the Prince 'Twilight's Hammer.
This is a matter of life and death. King Varian only has one son. If Prince Highness commits an unforgivable crime, then the rule of the House Wrynn can be declared over.
King Varian was a decent and upright King, but even so, he had his own selfish motives. Great figures aren't viewed in black and white as ordinary people; their collusion with Evil organizations like the Twilight's Hammer isn't really a big deal. His Highness the Prince merely sacrificed a small portion of the people's interests in his pursuit of knowledge and power.
However, His Prince was not discreet enough, and someone seized upon his actions, putting King Varian in a dilemma.
At this critical moment, Major Shanmiusen, a member of the King's Guard, stepped forward, taking full responsibility for all the crimes and admitting that he was a spy for the Twilight's Hammer, thus allowing Prince Anduin to escape punishment.
The poor, upright adventurer met a tragic end. He was traveling to Twilight Highlands in a dilapidated Dwarf helicopter when it crashed en route, and his fate remains unknown to this day.
Major Shanmiusen was sent to the Stockade. Once the storm had passed, someone came forward to testify that Shanmiusen had been controlled by the Twilight's Hammer cultists and was innocent. After a period of exile, he returned and was immediately reinstated, becoming a confidant of Prince Anduin. From then on, he rose rapidly through the ranks and is now a general.
Upon entering the Lunarfall, General Shanmiusen swore before everyone, "I will surely bring peace to Shadowmoon Valley." His tone was resolute and brooked no argument, demonstrating his strong determination.
Robbie looked at Luobo'an with pity, remembering the Dwarf Shaman whose neck had been broken by Ner'zhul.
"Robbie, please, you have to help me! Is there any way to persuade Ner'zhul?" Luobo'an looked at Robbie with a glimmer of hope.
"Well!" Robbie stroked his chin. "It all depends on when Ner'zhul's cooking skill is maxed out."
"What! Cooking skills?" Luobo'an was terrified and cried even harder, "Robbie, we've been childhood friends, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"
"No problem, since we're friends, I'll arrange your escape right away. I heard Gorgrond is short-handed, but don't worry about the fortress, I'll put it up for sale for you, and you'll get a full copper coin for free."
"No, that won't do." Luobo'an shook his head painfully. "Shanmiusen has chosen men from minor noble families. If I run away, I'll bring trouble to my whole family."
Who would have thought that this guy, who usually cheats and swindles, actually has a conscience?
Robbie shrugged, looking embarrassed.
"Then there's nothing I can do. Every year on the anniversary of your death, I will offer incense for you. Also, I will take good care of Lisa, so you can go in peace. Mayor Solomon has more than one son, so there's no need for him to worry."
"No, no! Robbie, you've always been full of clever ideas, you must have a way." Luobo'an pleaded desperately. Robbie could tell that he didn't really have much hope. He was asking Robbie for help as a last resort, or at least someone to talk to before he died and give his last instructions.
"Luobo'an, do you think you can persuade Ner'zhul?" Robbie patted him on the back, his face pained. "There's really no way, unless..."
"Unless what?" Luobo'an seemed to have found a last straw as a drowning man.
"Luobo'an, there's only one way to save your life: tell me everything you know, without omitting anything. Since the Peace Dove sent you to negotiate with Ner'zhul, you must know the prerequisites for the Peace Dove's cooperation with the Shadowmoon Clan, what the Peace Dove needs, and what Ner'zhul wants."
With life and death at stake, Luobo'an dared not conceal anything and quickly said, "We've learned that Ner'zhul knows a secret that could potentially make him a god of the Iron Horde. Thrall is very interested in this secret and wants a share of the spoils."
Robbie nodded. It seemed the Dark Star's secret wasn't well hidden; Thrall had noticed some clues.
"What does Thrall have to offer in exchange?" Robbie asked again.
"Ner'zhul's knowledge was insufficient to control that power, and he searched far and wide for relevant information. Thrall Faction six members of the Earthen Ring, led by Lemuel. Ner'zhul was very interested in the Earthen Ring's manipulation of Elemental Magic of earth, fire, water, and wind, but he refused to exchange that secret for it, so the negotiations stalled."
Robbie thought about it carefully, took a deep breath, and said with a worried look:
"Luobo'an, there's only one way now. Go back immediately and do everything you can to buy time. Find out where the six Shaman of the Earthen Ring are hiding. If you succeed, I can help you with something else."
Luobo'an stared blankly at Robbie: "Why investigate? I know where they live."
"What? You actually knew?"
What an unexpected discovery! Robbie was quite surprised. As long as these six Shaman were found, the cooperation between the Peace Dove and the Shadowmoon Clan could be stopped. SI:7 agents had searched the entire Shadowmoon Valley but had not found the six Shaman.
"How did you know?" Robbie asked, puzzled.
"They live in Bloodthorn Ridge," Luobo'an said sheepishly. "Shanmiusen saw how cautious I was and had me serve them. I packed a lot of food at your fortress to deliver to them. I also helped find a few sexy local Orcs girls. Lemuel was so pleased that he rewarded me with a lot of gold coins. I didn't expect my colleagues to be jealous and file a complaint against me for not fulfilling my duties, so I was sent here on this doomed mission."
Bloodthorn Ridge is very close to Bastion of Pain, almost right under the Shadowmoon Clan's nose, no wonder the agents overlooked it.
Robbie listened in silence, appearing deep in thought.
Luobo'an became anxious and hurriedly asked, "Robbie, you haven't taught me how to survive."
Robbie looked Luobo'an straight in the eye and asked, "Luobo'an, are you willing to take the risk?"
"I'm about to die, what's there to be afraid of?"
"If you have the courage to sacrifice yourself and there's still a chance to survive, once you enter Shaz'gul Village, agree to whatever conditions Ner'zhul proposes. That way, Ner'zhul won't kill you and will definitely let you go back."
Luobo'an thought for a moment and asked, "But how will we explain this when we get back?"
"Say the same thing to Shanmiusen, that Ner'zhul has agreed to everything."
Luobo'an was startled. "What if I get caught? Both sides will tear me apart."
Robbie chuckled and said, "Listen, Luobo'an, if you want to live, you have to take risks. Orcs are a race that loves to take advantage and never keeps their word. Once they can't get what they want, they'll stop negotiating."
"That's quite a leap, Robbie, I still don't understand."
Robbie lowered his voice and whispered in Luobo'an's ear:
"You just need to secretly tell Ner'zhul the location of those six Shaman, Ner'zhul will surely abduct them. Guess what Thrall will do? He'll be furious, and the two sides will lose any possibility of cooperation. Are you still worried about being exposed? As for whether Major Shanmiusen will suspect you, that depends on your luck and your skills."
Upon hearing this, Luobo'an trembled with fear; it was like dancing on a knife's edge. But after calming down, he finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'll risk it all. That's it. The worst that can happen is I die."
