Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 181 89. Return to the place where the dream began (Part 2)

For many years, Booty Coast has been an important place for South China Sea pirates to sell their stolen goods and gather.

Naturally, it is also a serious concern for the Kul Tiras navy.

But because the location of this city is really wonderful, it is just at the starting point of the South China Sea route in the eastern continent, when the merchants of Kul Tiras take this route, they cannot avoid stopping here.

Moreover, Revigaz is very smart. He collected very low commercial taxes on all Kul Tiras ships entering the port, which attracted many large merchants here.

Among them is the Ashvane family, which dominates the official trade of the Ku Kingdom. That family even has a trading company on the Booty Coast, which makes Dai Lin a little bit wary.

He was a king after all.

You can't do things according to your temper, you always have to weigh the pros and cons.

With such commercial involvement, and the fact that the sea merchants of the Kurdish Kingdom earn high profits in this city every year, they can pay more taxes with money, raise more navies, maintain and build more warships.

Therefore, Dai Lin turned a blind eye to the existence of Booty Coast in the end.

It is thanks to the "tacit understanding" between the rich man Rivegazi and the king of the sea, Dai Lin, that the neutral city of the goblins has become more and more prosperous in recent years.

In a place like this, without the all-pervasive influence of Ravenholdt Manor, Bo Laike would be very disappointed in the abilities of the League of Assassins.

In fact, since the start of the Second Orc War, Booty Coast has been the base camp for Ravenholdt and SI:7's assassins in the "enemy-occupied area".

They even selected spies among the exiled humans here, trained assassins, and carried out reconnaissance and sabotage activities in the Stormwind Kingdom occupied by orcs.

The orcs know this well.

But there was no way for them to rush into the goblin city and destroy the human intelligence network.

It's not because orcs are afraid of goblins, but because after the invasion war, goblins are the only force in the eastern continent that is willing to do business with orcs.

The boats used by the orcs to cross the sea were provided by the goblins.

After these violent elements drank the blood of fel energy, they were completely unable to farm and herd cattle.

They fought all the way to the northern border. In addition to looting supplies along the way and supporting them with war, some supplies were also obtained through goblin channels.

If the orcs charge into Booty Bay, they will lose their last support.

Not only Orgrim can see clearly the importance of goblins to the ongoing war of the orcs, but even the once-empty chieftain of Blackhand can see clearly.

During the period when the evil Gul'dan was in power, the great warlock even asked the blood hoop orcs active in Stranglethorn Vale not to attack the goblins in Booty Bay at will.

These green-skinned little guys have their own unique way of survival.

Relying on the power of business, they are not afraid of the threat of humans or orcs.

Of course, they were afraid of Daelin and Kul Tiras.

Therefore, recently, after the Kul Tiras fleet cruised close to the southern border, the frequency of trade between goblins and orcs has decreased a lot.

"Mr. Laike, you have been missing for a long time."

In the chaotic big fight tavern, Bo Laike is sitting on a chair at the bar, in front of him is a goblin bartender standing on the chair and pouring him a drink.

Behind the pirate, Xieyan and Maim protected him from left to right, using warlock magic and Red family swords to prevent other bastards from disturbing the captain.

As far as the fighting power of these uneven drunkards in the tavern was concerned, they couldn't break through the line of defense of these two people at all.

The goblin bartender has also seen the world.

Unafraid of the escalating tavern brawl in front of him, he squinted his treacherous eyes while pouring Amber-colored rum into the glass in front of Bo Laike.

Using his left hand with only four fingers, he pushed Bo Laike's assassin badge back to the pirate's eyes.

He said softly:

"Many people are looking for you, several commanders of the Alliance military, Mr. Shaw and Master Passonia, as well as a dwarf major in Ironforge, and a dwarf agent in Gnomeregan.

Even, the papal emissary from Stratholme.

Many people are paying attention to you, but no one has any clues about you. You just disappeared suddenly just like when you appeared. "

"Don't be so exaggerated, I just disappeared for a month and a half, I'm not a big shot, and the whole world doesn't revolve around me.

And look, am I back now? "

Bu Laike picked up the wine glass, eyes under the mask glanced at the goblin in front of him, and threw out a scout, allowing him to see the specific information of the goblin bartender:

"Razor" Ray Zeke

Mortal body. Camouflage. Covered shadow. Combat vigilance

Level 60 Rogue / Level 45 Tinker

Bu Laike's detection has been "upgraded" by the garbage god Loa Gani. He can see more than just character information.

For example, on the neck, fingers, and waist of the goblin in front of him, there are green lights beating, which represent these magical items with excellent quality.

The bartender also felt the unkind gaze of the pirate in front of him, so he quietly reached out and grabbed something under the bar.

The thing was shining with a blue light.

"Take it easy, Ray Zeke."

Bu Laike chuckled and said:

"By the way, take your hands off that dangerous thing, my friend. I just came back and urgently need to understand the current war situation in the Eastern Continent.

I'd love to continue serving the league. "

"But you hang out with orcs, sir."

The goblin bartender said in his trademark high-pitched voice:

"It's hard not to think of some harbingers of danger."

"They serve me, they are my crew, my subordinates. In theory, they are also Ravenholdt's peripheral members."

The pirate shrugged and said:

"And as far as I know, Ravenholdt recruited assassins and spies in the troll clan a long time ago, so as to grasp the movements of the forest trolls in the Hinterlands and Quel'Thalas forests.

What I do does not violate the principles of the organization.

And the orcs have already lost the war, they are no longer a threat, they are just defeated by a group of humans, no one will reprimand me for this. "

The goblin bartender gritted his teeth. He wanted to say more, to prevaricate the stressful "League Hero" Brad Laike Shaw who suddenly disappeared and then reappeared.

But when he looked up, he saw eyes under Laike's mask, staring at him.

A strange emotion rose in the heart of Goblin Lei Zeke.

He knew very well what Laike had done in northern Xinjiang, and he knew that a legendary orc had died at the hands of the assassin in front of him.

He knew that Bu Laike had helped the Alliance army win the initiative in the Hinterlands battlefield by himself. It is said that nearly a thousand orcs died in his hands.

The man in front of him is an out-and-out butcher.

Now seeing him dressed as a pirate and leading a group of orcs through the city, it is obvious that this person has become more dangerous in the past month and a half.

It was so dangerous that a trace of fear appeared on the ground's meticulous head.

"I'm going to have lunch with the rich man Rivergaz later. He praised me as Booty Bay's most honored guest and promised that I would get the highest level of service in his city."

Bu Laike put down his glass, he said:

"So, don't waste my time, friend, and give me the military report I want. Time is money, as you goblins say."

A hint of concession appeared in Lei Zeke's eyes.

He jumped off the chair, turned around and took out a few pieces of paper full of battle reports from the hidden compartment of the bar, rolled them up and handed them to Bo Laike, who took them in his hands without looking at them, and put them in his arms.

"I may have to delay for half a month before I can go back to Northern Xinjiang. So please help me apply for the 'Master Assassin' trial in the organization.

Send me a message by the way, to Stratholme.

Tell those Holy Lightwalkers that I have a gift that I will dedicate to His Excellency the Pope in the near future. "

Bo Laike stood up, threw out a few gold coins, and left Zeke the goblin as a tip.

He nodded politely to the goblin, then turned and left. The little murloc sitting on his shoulder tilted his head and waved his paw friendly to the goblin.

However, after the pirate took two steps, he turned back and raised his hand. An exquisite one-handed musket twirled in his palm, and he said to the goblin Lei Zeke whose complexion changed drastically:

"This thing is good, I want it."

After finishing speaking, he swaggered and led his group of violent orc men, and left the bar that was in a mess and full of unconscious people who were fighting.

In this small-scale fight, the mighty orcs really had the upper hand.

After watching Bo Laike leave, the goblin assassin Lei Zeke moved his hands tremblingly to the place where the pistol was fixed under the bar, and he took out a beautiful gemstone from there.

Bo Laike took his self-defense pistol and kept it in exchange.

The gem was priceless at first glance, but the money-hungry goblin had no joy in his eyes.

How did that guy change those two things just now?

He just turned around for less than a second, and he completed this action, as if he was playing tricks on him, and then he thought that Laike asked him for help just now, and applied for the trial of the master assassin in Ravenholdt Manor.

So, did Laike Xiao, the rising star of the League of Assassins, complete his progression from rookie to master in one and a half months?

this.

Is he the illegitimate child of the shadow in the legend?

Is this too exaggerated? ——

While Bo Laike was the guest of honor, having lunch with Rivergaz, the rich man of Booty Bay, on the remote island of Zandalar, in the great desert of Vol'dun.

In the hall of the now-empty Temple of the Devout, a black snake-man wearing a luxurious, lightning-flowing sapphire crown is looking out over the water below the sea cliff.

Behind it is the army of the Faithless Empire.

Those vicious and crazy unbelievers have surrounded the entire temple, but they can no longer chase those compatriots who still retain their pathetic beliefs.

"Repeat it again!"

The tall black snake man said indifferently:

"Tell me, tell your king, where did they take the last keystone that Warwick guarded?"

"Your Majesty! In a place on the eastern continent!"

Behind the Snake King, there is a Snake hunter who has lost his arm. He dare not look up to see his king, Kotek the Great, who commands hundreds of thousands of unbelievers in the Wharton Desert.

It answered in a trembling and humble voice:

"I heard it very clearly, Your Majesty, those outsiders wanted to send the keystone guarded by the pious to a country beyond the sea. Send it to a city called Dalaran!

He said there were the most guarded treasures in the world, and that there were dark things buried under their lands as in the Vol'dun Desert. "

"Eastern Continent. Human Dalaran."

A trace of impatience and murderous intent flashed in the cold eyes of the unbelievers' snake man emperor. He leaned on the double-headed snake scepter wrapped in lightning in his hand. After more than ten seconds of silence, he said:

"Bring up the curser who took the initiative to find us!"

Soon, under the escort of the elite snakeman royal guards, a troll skeleton wearing a pirate cloak, a red pirate hat, and a gorgeous sailor knife inlaid with gems was brought into the temple.

Although this guy only has a skeleton body left.

But the bone's jaw is always open, as if smiling.

When it came here, it pretended to give an audience ceremony to the black snake man in front of it, and then said:

"Ah, great Emperor Kotaek, you must be angry at being robbed of something you must have. Snake people are not good at sailing. Without the help of your friends, you will not be able to get back the treasure in your heart.

But fortunately, I am happy to be your friend and the unbelievers, Your Majesty.

As long as you can give me some little help, hehe. "

"Your name is Gaboa? Claiming to be a pirate captain who has traveled the world."

The Great Snakeman turned around and looked at the troll skeleton pirate behind him with his merciless eyes. It spat out a scarlet snake letter and said:

"Are you Zemlan's subordinate?"

"No, Sire, Zemlan is dead."

Gaboya stretched out his hand and made a movement to dissipate with the wind, rubbed his hands again, and said in a treacherous tone:

"Now that I am free, I also want to rebuild the grand event of the Cursed Pirates, but the embarrassing thing is that my companions also left with Zemlan.

So I need some vicious, crazy, and death-defying minions. You have a lot of people like this under your command, and I happen to know where the Eastern Continent is.

Believe me, Your Majesty, I have been there many times in those days.

As for Dalaran.

I have never heard of this city, but just ask someone, you can always find it.

So what do you say? "

"I just want that keystone!"

The black snake man Kotek said calmly:

"As long as you can bring me back the keystone, the soldiers of the Faithless Empire will be at your disposal. But I have one more question, Captain Gaboa.

where is your ship "

"There!"

The troll skeleton Gaboya stretched his finger to the endless sea ahead, and he said in an expectant tone:

"There are many ships on the South China Sea route, and they will all belong to me in the end. Just give me a little time to prepare, Your Majesty, and I will set off right away to retrieve the keystone for you.

The endless sea, the sea of ​​treasure, the sea of ​​plunder.

Bu Laike Shaw, I accept your invitation!

Seven thousand years later, Zandalari pirates who have been forgotten by the world. Re-enter! "
