Shadow Trails in Azeroth
Chapter 237 56. New faction·The Uncrowned
Desolate land, Melting Light Dock.
This is the newly built "business port" built by the goblins in this abandoned land. It was only completed a few months ago, and there are only a few ships parked at the dock.
The entire terminal is very unpopular, just like a big warehouse.
At the entrance, you can also see several alliance knights bargaining with goblin merchants.
They were ordered to buy some military supplies from here and take them to the front line in the deserted land. But this scene is abnormal, because the price offered by the goblin merchants is too low.
It's like half sale and half free.
Is this something that any goblin in his right mind could do?
Unfortunately, a few human knights were not satisfied yet. They strongly demanded that the goblins lower the price. Logically speaking, the goblins who pursued profits would definitely not agree to such a "shameless" request.
But the strange thing is that after some discussion, the goblins who never suffered any loss in business actually gave in!
Can you believe it?
The goblin merchants actually took the initiative to lower their prices!
Let a few human knights hold their helmets and look proud as if they have won a battle, while the green goblins will look like defeated roosters, dejectedly going to the warehouse to collect goods.
The human knights dared to blackmail the goblins so blatantly because they understood the goblins' difficulties.
In the early and middle stages of the war, these green-skinned little men helped the orcs build ships and provided supplies to the orcs, which had violated the alliance's taboo.
They dared to do business with the orcs before because they were sure that the orcs could at least defend the southern border of the mainland and form a separatist regime under the alliance's offensive.
But now, the orcs were defeated.
The rapid changes in the war left no time for the goblins to change their strategies.
The current situation is very unfavorable to the goblin consortium. Once the alliance achieves a great victory and completely eliminates the orc forces on the mainland, the goblins will definitely be the next unlucky ones.
The fleet of Kul Tiras alone is enough for several goblin consortiums to drink from.
So now, making money and so on are just trivial matters.
At this stage, the most important thing is to win back the goodwill of the alliance. This is also the main reason why the goblins built a dock in the deserted land, a place where birds do not shit.
They must rush to the victor's side before the orcs are defeated.
In fact, after the Alliance army entered the Khaz Modan war zone, one-third of the weapons and equipment of the forward army were sent over by the goblins.
After some weighing, Marshal Lothar accepted the goblin's half-sale, half-given "voluntary surrender".
But just because the marshal forgives the goblins doesn't mean that other kingdoms will forgive them.
Therefore, after the war, the goblin consortium still had to pay some more blood, especially Kul Tiras, who could launch a devastating attack on the South China Sea trade route at any time.
If you don't feed Dai Lin's big appetite, Treasure Coast is just talking about it.
However, the troubles of the goblins did not disturb Black's good mood for the time being. He was currently drinking wine in the dock tavern.
This is a typical goblin tavern.
The place is small and dark, with few tables.
The windows are not very wide, and the interior is decorated with various weird mechanical parts. Because it mainly serves goblins, the overall height of the tavern is very short.
Human beings have to bow their heads when entering the door.
It's not as lively and lively as the taverns in Port Boralus, and it also lacks the flavor that some taverns should have.
Because the dock is not very popular, this will be in a tavern, and Blake is the only customer.
He was lying on the bar, with a bottle of wine in front of him, and he was pouring himself a cup of wine. In front of him, the goblin bartender was shrinking behind the counter with a fearful look on his face.
He saw Black's pirate hat, and saw the pirate walking out of the sea calmly, so naturally he didn't dare to provoke him.
The sun streamed in from outside the bar door behind the pirates and was shining on the ground behind Blake.
Just like the boundary between light and darkness, the drinking pirates are included in the shadows on the edge of the sun.
"jingle"
The door of the bar was pushed open, and the closed wooden door hit the bell on the door frame, and closed again the next moment. Undisguised footsteps sounded behind Blake, walking slowly.
He pulled out the chair next to him, sat there, threw out a handful of silver coins, and said to the frightened goblin bartender in a very elegant and magnetic voice:
"Give me and my friend two bottles of Badlands whiskey, the ten-year-old kind. Don't fool us with fake ones. My friend will be very unhappy."
"Who is your friend?"
The drunken pirate said without raising his head:
"Identifying friends randomly is a very bad habit, uncle. This habit will kill you one day."
"I'm not talking about you, you proud young man."
The mysterious Duke took off his hat and put it aside.
He pulled out the other chair next to him in a gentlemanly manner, and a few seconds later, Granny Xiao, who was stumbling and with a bandage on her shoulder, opened the store door and walked in.
She changed into a loose robe to cover the wound, walked to the bar, and sat on the chair next to the Duke.
"She is my friend, young man. Do you think I want to buy you a drink? You think so."
Mr. Duke, who was dressed like a well-maintained aristocratic old man, laughed, reached out and picked up the black wine bottle handed over by the goblin, and with a flick of his finger, the cork flew out.
The flying plug, like a bullet, bounced back and forth on the bar three times, and finally hit the pirate in the eye, and was easily caught by the latter in his hand.
While the Duke was pouring wine for Granny Shore, who had limited mobility, he said to Blake beside him:
"Congratulations on winning. You are now a Master Assassin. Your Assassin Master Seal will be delivered to you in a few days. Oh, and these two things, you forgot on the battlefield.
I brought it back for you. "
He placed the wine bottle in his hand on the table, then took it out of his pocket. The hilt of the blazing sword and the Devil's Strike dagger were placed in the pirate's hands.
These two weapons were disarmed and removed by Granny Xiao when she was fighting with her.
"Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke."
Blake thanked him politely.
He put away his weapon, picked up the wine bottle, and poured a glass of wine for the little fishman next to him. The little fool sat cross-legged on the bar, held the wine glass with his two paws, and drank.
That posture looked like a complete fish-man drunkard.
"But I already have a seal."
In the tavern where the three of them were sitting side by side, Blake raised his left hand and admired the emerald ring on his finger. He said in a relaxed tone:
"I like this ring very much. It has a special meaning after all, so I won't bother you to customize it specially for me."
The Duke, who was drinking, stopped moving.
He put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Blake, and said seriously:
"Do you know what you are saying? Do you know what you are doing? Are you drunk, young man?"
"Know."
Blake coughed a few times, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said:
"Grandma Shaw will permanently lose her title as Master Assassin, and her faction will be disbanded immediately unless they can wrest it from me or steal the ring.
Of course I know what I'm doing.
I declared war on them.
Either they accept the challenge.
Or just accept the result in despair. "
After saying that, the pirate straightened up, leaned back on the chair, looked around the Duke sitting in the middle, and said to Pasonia, who was drinking silently on the other side:
"This is the agreement between Xiao Er and I, mother-in-law. He said that he will get this ring back from me within three years and get back the glory for you. Are you so unsure of your grandson?"
"Haha, my grandson just joined forces with an outsider and stabbed me, an old woman, in the heart. When you took away my title and my past, my grandson also took away my career and my pursuit. .
I have nothing now, and as you said, I can only live by memories. "
Granny Xiaoer said in a lonely tone:
"Of course I have confidence in Mathias. He has proven that he is stronger than me. At his age, I couldn't make up my mind to betray my relatives."
"Isn't this what you taught me well?"
Blake laughed, picked up the wine glass, shook it, and said in a faint tone:
"When you raised him as an enemy since childhood, you should have predicted this result today."
"Okay, two masters. Don't argue in front of outsiders, be decent."
The Duke picked up his whiskey and glanced at the goblin bartender who was already looking terrified and trying to escape. Under his gaze, the goblin trembled and squatted on the spot holding his head and covering his ears.
Don't dare to move.
He didn't want to hear a word.
have no choice.
The three bad guys in front of him didn't know how to lower their voices when they spoke, making it impossible for him not to listen.
"Give me that ring."
The Duke finished his wine, let out a groan of pleasure, and said to Black:
"The organization will make its own arrangements for Mathias's future master trial. I don't want to cause the same damn thing as today, which almost caused the organization to lose two masters at once.
Master Black's seal has been made by the magic craftsmen in Quel'Thalas. It's too late for you to return it now, not to mention that this thing is more than just a status symbol.
It is also an exclusive assassin relic.
You can't use Shore's seal unless you are willing to give up your personal legendary sacred object.
Do you want to?
Greedy pirate. "
"You should have told me earlier."
Blake whistled and threw the seal on his finger to the Duke. The latter took it in his hand, looked at it, and said to Pasonia:
"Shore, are you going to retire? Or are you going to keep working?"
"My arms are gone and I'm a cripple. Come on, don't exploit me."
Granny Xiaoer held the wine glass and said in a harsh voice:
"Since my grandson has the ambition to inherit my name, I will leave it with you for the time being, waiting for him to take it by himself. As for my faction, let it be dissolved.
They are all from MI7 anyway, so it doesn’t matter. "
"That's not right. In addition to MI7, your faction also has several peripheral members."
The Duke said:
"Especially that young man who was born in the Masonic Brotherhood. He was very talented and just gave up?"
"I do not care anymore."
Granny Xiaoer said:
"Whoever wants it should go. After drinking this glass of wine, and then walking around the battlefield, and seeing the defeat of the tribe with my own eyes, I will go back to Elwynn Forest to retire.
Don’t come to me if the sky falls in the future. "
"Okay, I'll send someone to escort you there."
The Duke nodded and looked at Black again. His eyes paused on the hidden swords in the pirate's hands. He stroked his well-groomed beard and said:
"What about you? Master Black, do you have any thoughts about your faction?"
"Of course."
The pirate snapped his fingers, took out a stack of written papers from his magic bag, and placed it in front of the Duke with a bang. Under the Duke's surprised gaze, he said:
"This is my future plan and system construction settings for my faction. I think there is basically nothing you can improve, so just turn to the last page and sign."
The Duke picked up the stack of paper in front of him and looked at the handwritten name on the first page.
"The Uncrowned."
The moment he saw the name of the faction, the Duke felt a void in his heart, as if something belonging to him had been stolen away by a pair of invisible hands.
He tried to shake himself out of that strange mood and said to the pirate:
"I know you have reached some weird agreements with the Pope and the church, can you?"
"cannot."
The pirate stood up directly and said to the Duke:
"It's not that I'm stingy and unwilling to share this privilege, but you need to talk to His Holiness the Pope personally, so I can't help you, Your Excellency the Duke.
Also, to celebrate the birth of a new Assassin Master.
Please treat me to this unpleasant drink. "
After saying that, he picked up the drunken fish-man who had started to fight drunkenly, pushed up his pirate hat, turned around and walked out of the bar.
A few minutes later, Granny Xiao also left here.
The Duke was left alone, carefully looking through the stack of faction structures left by Black.
Until half an hour later, the goblin bartender squatting there was really sore in his legs and wanted to stretch, but he woke up the Duke who was immersed in it.
He glanced at the goblin bartender and said casually:
"You have heard a lot of secrets that you shouldn't hear, my friend, you are so unlucky. Now you have two choices, either join Ravenholdt and become a peripheral member.
Otherwise, I can only give it to you."
"Stop talking, I'll join!
Hell, you didn’t give me a choice. Also, are there any perks for joining you? I have to work two jobs and get two paychecks! "
