Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 732 63. I unilaterally declare that this place is called Liberty Town!

Later the next day, Kelsey flew a goblin gyroplane himself, and after three hours of flying, he finally arrived at the location agreed with Laike.

Just at the edge of a deserted island in a natural bay in the southernmost part of Tiragarde Strait, Kelsey, who stopped the plane, carried the heavy box and walked to Laike, who was sitting on a rock waiting for her.

The little dwarf proudly threw the box in front of Bo Laike and kicked it away.

"this is yours!"

Kelsey took out a few gold cards from inside and threw them to Bu Laike, then picked up a bag of heavy gold coins and precious stones, threw them into his bag unceremoniously, and said:

"This one is mine."

"No way."

Bu Laike tilted his head, looked at the little dwarf in front of him, and said:

"Didn't we agree that we will get 50% of the money for selling information? It should be me."

"That money was used to rent this deserted island."

Kelsey crossed her arms and said plausibly:

"I asked our Gnomeregan ambassador in Kul Tiras to do this. Fortunately, this place has been uninhabited for many years, and the surrounding terrain is not suitable for large ships to dock.

It is said that there are dangerous sea monsters haunting it, and the Kul Tiras navy looked down on this ruined place, so I was able to rent the right to use this island for five years from the official. "

The little dwarf looked around. Her fellow dwarves were preparing to set up camp on the nearby flat ground, and several dwarf flying machines were being assembled by Overspark and his assistants.

There are also several goblin rotorcraft supported by the Vulpera fleet fixed in a leeward place.

After a while, this is the base camp of this expedition.

Kelsey coughed and said to Bo Laike again:

"Your ghost ship also needs a hidden stop. This island is said to be rented for the gnomes. In fact, after we finished the expedition, you will use it here.

Doing things for you in our name, the 'handling fee' has to be settled, right? What do you say? "

"Okay, okay, I was persuaded by you, he is really a sharp-tongued little man."

Bu Laike took a sip of his wine, waved his hand, and didn't care about Kelsey's sophistry.

As she said, this deserted island located in the southernmost part of the Tiragarde Strait is a ghostly place known to the locals. It is located in the mountains with inconvenient transportation, and there are no people living in the vicinity for dozens of miles.

This mountain jungle is full of poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, there are also poisonous lizards infested in the local area, there is also a large swamp where wild animals gather, and savage cavemen appear.

The Kul Tiras officials have never made up their minds to develop this remote area. For a long time in the past, it was even a place where the officials exiled prisoners.

Kelsey rented the island from the government for "scientific research", which is definitely not as exaggerated as she said. Although she has to pay rent every year, it is basically equivalent to buying half and giving half away.

"It's a good place."

Bu Laike stood up and looked around.

With a hint of nostalgia in his tone, he said to the dwarf agent who summoned the mechanical chocobo and rode on it to maintain her "equal height" with Bu Laike:

"The terrain here is really not suitable for a large fleet like the Kul Tiras Navy to berth. In fact, even a second-class warship can't find a berth here.

It is not a natural harbor.

However, the waterways here are narrow and intricate, and there are three sea outlets, which are very suitable for small ships to gather here, and because of the terrain of the strait surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It's really a good place for some 'illegal activities'.

If there is a strong enough guy to link up, maybe in just a few years, this place will become lively and develop into a bustling and chaotic town. "

"You mean, a pirate's stronghold?"

Kelsey is smart.

From the information that Bo Laike analyzed for her, she immediately summed up the meaning of the pirates, and Bo Laike nodded in satisfaction.

He took a sip of wine, stretched out his hand and slid back and forth on the deserted island, saying:

"Look, build a wooden bridge there to connect the coast to the island. Then build an overlapping building like Booty Bay in the center of the island, which can provide at least a few hundred pirates to live here.

On the hillside at the edge of the island, a pontoon bridge can be used to create an independent small area, and artillery defenses can be erected. Even if a whole marine corps comes, it will be difficult to rush up.

This is really a natural pirate base. "

"Unfortunately, it appeared in Kul Tiras."

Kelsey pushed her mechanical goggles, and replied maliciously:

"Lend ten guts to those pirates, and they wouldn't dare to build a nest under the eyes of the Kul Tiras navy. So even if what you said is true, it's useless if this place does have the potential to become a pirate sanctuary.

As long as the Kul Tiras navy is still alive, it is destined to become a deserted island! "

"Yeah, with the Navy in one day, it is impossible for this place to develop as I want to see."

Bu Laike also nodded, and said deeply:

"But as long as the navy starts to weaken, there will be a godsend opportunity here. I decided to build a trading station here for the Wharton Trading Company of Udora to rest.

After they reached a cooperation agreement with the local chamber of commerce, this place can also become prosperous.

Moreover, it is very close to the famous scenic spots of Tiragarde Strait, the Vanishing Glacier and the Silent Spring. As long as you climb over the mountain and pass through the local hunting ground, Kennings Camp, you can reach the hot spring area near Bridgeport.

That is the local people's favorite relaxation and entertainment. There is nothing more comfortable to soak in the warmth. "

"Wow, you are really familiar with this place."

The little dwarf exclaimed:

"It's like a treasure."

"Nonsense, I was born here."

Bu Laike rolled his eyes and said:

"When I was a child, I often went to the hot springs with my family. There is a legend about the 'Guardian of the Spring' at the Spring of Tranquility. It is said that it is a very majestic white unicorn.

Only the purest virgins are entitled to touch it, and only the luckiest maidens can ride it.

Moreover, I think it is necessary for you to go to the hot spring once. "

"No, I don't like water."

Kelsey pouted and said:

"Most gnomes don't like water, and we have no interest in hot springs."

"Who told you to go to the hot springs? Your thinking is a bit too active, right?"

Bu Laike rolled his eyes and said:

"What I mean is, the first stop of your trip to find traces of the mechanical gnomes is on the other side of the vanishing glacier, not far from the hot spring area.

I've marked the location for you.

There's a big abandoned dump known to the locals, no one knows when it appeared, as if we Kul Tirans discovered the place, the pile of strange metal parts garbage mountain already exists.

I suppose that's where you're most likely to find traces of them, if the rumors of mechagnomes operating here are true. "

The stinky pirate pointed to the northwest direction confidently, and said to Kelsey, who was taking notes in a notebook beside him:

"However, if you want to go to that place by land, you have to climb over the mountains, at least three days. If you fly, it will be much faster, but you also have to cross the cold vanishing glacier.

Therefore, I suggest that you start after breakfast, when the sun is at its best at noon, it just crosses the glacier belt, and you will be able to reach the vicinity of the mechanical garbage dump in the afternoon.

It's good to have an advanced camp or something in there. "

"You're such a good guide, Bo Laike!"

Kelsey nodded in satisfaction. Looking at the records in her notebook, she controlled her mechanical chocobo and ran to Overspark to discuss tomorrow's action plan with him.

Bu Laike strolled up the hillside at the highest point of the deserted island, and just as he walked up, he heard the roar of a magic saber.

Mother Windrunner was admiring the scenery that was different from the Eastern Continent. At her feet, the armored Demonsaber Minnie was biting a rabbit.

That is its prey and its lunch.

"Won't you take me to visit your palace? Your Highness."

Mother Windrunner stood on the edge of the cliff, letting the sea breeze blow her hair, and after sensing Bo Laike approaching, the chief retainer said in that special cold and empty voice:

"I think that as your chief retainer, I should also visit the place where you were born and raised. I heard that Proudmoore Fortress is the most magnificent building in Boralus City.

The Naval Academy, which is famous throughout the eastern continent, is also there. "

"There's nothing to see there, Master, it's just an ordinary stone house."

The pirate curled his lips, stepped forward, and stood with Windrunner's mother. Looking at the sea in front of him, he said to General Liresa beside him:

"I'm not in danger here, so you can actually give yourself a vacation. In my memory, the scenery of Stormsong Valley is the most beautiful in all of Kul Tiras.

Why don't you go there for a walk? "

"The headquarters of the Church of the Storm is also there."

Mother Windrunner tossed her hair and said:

"You want me to investigate?"

"Ok."

Bu Laike nodded and said:

"It's been a long time since I left this country. The distribution of the tidesages in Stormsong Valley in my memory may not be in line with the facts. I need to learn about their distribution there again.

Part of me, the Uncrowned, has infiltrated that area as well.

But they have no leader, and I hope that you, the mentor, can help me lead them. Establish a stronghold in Brennadam, the largest town in the valley.

After I attend the wedding of House Vic Reiss, I'll take the gnomes to Mechagon to complete my expedition, and then I'll join you in the Vale. "

"Okay, that doesn't sound too difficult."

Mother Windrunner nodded.

But the pirate shook his head and reminded:

"No, it's a lot harder than you think, and you'll know what I mean in the past. Besides, all scouting can only be done in the interior of the valley.

Stay away from the Temple of Storms until I'm there!

Even the waters near that big island are not allowed to get close! The range of eastward reconnaissance reaches the Mariner's Coast as the limit, and it is not allowed to cross that narrow strait. "

He reminded in a serious tone:

"I don't want to take the risk of losing you and carry out an investigation that is doomed to failure. I am familiar with the internal structure of that temple, and I don't need you to take risks.

Please keep this in mind. "

"I've rarely seen you emphasize one thing so seriously."

General Liresa said in a strange tone:

"Even in Dalaran, you have never been so serious and cautious when facing Deathwing. Could it be that there is something more dangerous than Deathwing hiding on that island?"

"In terms of destructive power, they are certainly far inferior to Deathwing. The power they possess is not worthy for the World Destroyer to lick his shoes."

Bu Laike explained:

"But the trouble with them is that they never fight head-on like the Destroyer, and by the time you realize you've fallen into their attention, it's too late.

Even if you are such a powerful ranger, once you fall into that nightmare and I rescue you as quickly as possible, you may lose all your self.

Your perception of the world will be shattered and rebuilt in a vision of catastrophe.

And after you get rid of the bad luck, whether the soul carried in this body can still be called "Liresa Windrunner" is a question.

You may feel that you are still awake.

But the truth is, once you are changed by them, you are not you anymore. No matter how much I respect you, I have to end your cursed future with my own hands.

Facing such an enemy and facing such a situation, one cannot be too cautious. "

General Liresa was silent for a few seconds, and she said:

"Your compliments on your enemies scare me, Bo Laike."

"Hey, mentor, I feel scared now, it's a bit early to be honest."

Bo Laike pouted, waved something out, and carefully placed it in Windrunner's mother's hand. General Ranger looked down and found that it was a broken black dragon scale.

"this is."

Liresa looked at her disciple suspiciously.

Bu Laike put her fingers together and held the icy scales tightly. He said seriously:

"These are the scales of Deathwing.

It contains the deepest corruption and corruption from the void, and because it is a creation of the void, it can help you share part of the spiritual pressure when it is eroded by the void.

And because you are a powerful undead, your will has been strengthened by death, and your resistance to the void will be stronger. The stacking of these two should be enough for you to be immune to all void blasts under the High Priest of the Tide.

But don't be superstitious about them.

Once the scales change, give up the mission immediately and get out!

I don't want to explain to three howling and raging Windrunner women why their mother has turned into a fool who has to be cared for and just giggles

So, try to take care of yourself, okay? "

"You speak to me as if you are the mentor and I am your disciple."

Windrunner's mother glanced at the dragon scale in her hand, and said:

"I had speculated about the situation in Kul Tiras before, but now that you've said it, I think the problems in your country are the most serious among the seven human nations.

Are you sure you can do it alone? "

"I can do it, and I must do it!"

Bu Laike took a deep breath, faced the tide in front of him, and said:

"And, I'm not alone."
