Without dwelling too much on the Goblin's appearance, Patrick asked directly, "I hear you can help us smelt Enchanted Elementium Bars?"
"That's no problem at all, but I'll need you to provide the materials I require." Gold Coins-Kregan dispensed with any pleasantries and got straight to the point.
Patrick smiled at that. This Goblin was quite sincere; he just did not know what materials he meant. "What do you need? Let's hear it."
"Actually, smelting elementium ore isn't difficult. The main issue is finding the materials. I need Elementium Bars, elemental flux, Fiery Cores, arcanite bars, and a fire elemental smelting furnace."
"That's all you need?" Patrick had not held out much hope for these Goblins to begin with, but after hearing what Gold Coins-Kregan said, perhaps there was considerable hope after all, wasn't there?
"Your Highness, Fiery Cores are the cores of fire elementals. Only the capable lieutenants trusted by Ragnaros possess them. As for arcanite bars..." Kregan's voice grew quieter as he spoke.

Also assign specialists from the Magisters' Legion to serve as assistants and help Gold Coins-Kregan." Patrick looked at Gold
