Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1013 109. Dear friend, will you please take my money out of your pocket?

   "Ah, I slept so well last night."

   At eight o'clock in the morning, the desert was already scorching hot.

  Fina, who was riding between the two humps of the white camel that was constantly chewing, became full of energy again.

   While moving her body on the saddle, she watched the desert city of Gadgetzan in front of her as the camel's bell rang. Those goblins got up early.

   Early in the morning, a green-skinned caravan was ready to set off from Gadgetzan to deliver goods to the hot sand port.

  The goblin merchants ride their noisy and unique goblin turbo-accelerated tricycles, and urge the yawning ogre guards to load up, each gearing up to make a fortune today.

   But the business world of goblins is cruel.

   It is destined that only a few goblins can make big money as they wish, and other small businessmen are just drinking soup in the huge commercial system of the South China Sea Trade Road.

  Money is the source of power for goblins.

   Their thirst for wealth is no weaker than that of warriors, and even more so.

   "The last time we bought a lottery ticket seems to be the lottery draw this morning. Hurry up, let's go into the city. I don't know how lucky little Xingxing is? We bought a hundred tickets in one go."

   When approaching the low wall of the iconic desert town of Gadgetzan, Fenna suddenly remembered something in the wind and sand, and immediately became excited, urging Blake, who was not in a hurry behind him, to speed up.

  The pirates sneered when they heard Fenna's words.

   Still buying tickets for the wonderful land?

   Still expecting to win?

   What are you kidding?

  This is not a society ruled by law.

  It’s amazing that the goblins who got into the eyes of money can make you strangers win the big prize. Those people used to have a face, and I can look forward to the third prize and below.

   But with the goblins' greed for money, Little Xingxing and Fenna bought a hundred tickets for the wonderful land, and it's not bad to be able to win the last prize.

   Even the little murloc sitting in the camel's saddle croaked and laughed at Fenna's stupidity.

  Look, even the murlocs know that terrific tickets are a fool's trick.

   But the goblins are so shameless, don't they care?

  The answer is yes, of course no one cares.

   Gadgetzan is not a big city like Booty Bay where other forces are involved.

  This commercial city in the desert is completely a goblin city monopolized by the Hotsand consortium. As far as Blake knows, the dirty hand gangs in Gadgetzan City are rampant, and the leaders of those scumbags are the thugs supported by the Hotsand consortium.

   The goblin merchants who rule the city have some way of making those complainers disappear into the desert.

but

  The pirate looked at the noisy city in front of him that was constantly spewing dirty black smoke into the sky, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

   "These money-seeking guys are probably going to be out of luck today."

  Blake patted the head of the little murloc in the saddle and warned:

   "If there is a commotion in a while, remember to keep your eyes bright and get something good to go back. For the sake of your contribution, we will get six or four points."

   "Cuck!"

   The big eyes of the little fishman lit up suddenly, and he immediately began to gear up.

The Proudmoore brothers and sisters entered the city in a low-key manner. The goblin guards guarding the gate did not check their identities carefully. They were blinded by the silver coins thrown by Black, and easily let an extremely dangerous person into their door. City.

   But the goblins are not without any defensive measures.

  There are many fierce ogre guards patrolling in this desert city. These guys are hired by the goblins. The little greenskins like this kind of stupid and good thugs to serve them.

   And Black flows through the magic net under the desert, and it is easy to tell that there should be at least two legendary spellcasters in this city.

   There should be another colleague here.

   After all, there have never been many scumbags in the South China Sea who sold their power for money, and after the fall of Ravenholdt, the life of the third-rate assassins in the Eastern Continent was not easy.

  People always have to eat right in their lives.

   Besides, the money the goblins gave to buy life is quite generous.

   But as soon as the pirate siblings entered the city, they heard the noise coming from the center of the city, and Blake even keenly heard the shouting of the little stars mixed in those noisy sounds, which was extra conspicuous.

"Walk!"

  Black gave Fenna a wink, and the stupid warrior immediately understood, and followed the pirates and rushed towards the chaotic place.

   Sure enough, it was the idiot Little Xingxing who had a conflict with the goblins, surrounded by a group of people watching the fun, but no one dared to approach the pretty and elegantly dressed Little Xingxing Princess.

   Not only is there an elf female knight in blue armor who is not easy to mess with at first sight, but also a tall tauren with a totem and a halberd on his back.

   Good guy!

  Why is Kane here?

  This simple and honest old cow is also the victim of the wonderful ticket?

  You're learning bad, Kane!

   You would never have been interested in this kind of crooked way before.

   "Why don't you change it for me?"

  Xiaoxing fiercely slapped a few wonderful tickets on the table at the redemption location. She put her hands on her hips and screamed at the goblin employee who was sweating profusely in front of her eyes and dressed in formal clothes:

   "One special prize, one first prize, and three second prizes. Redeem them for me right now! Don't give me any reason! I still have a dozen or so third prize tickets that you can't count."

   Little Xingxing said this, and the surrounding crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.

   This blue-haired chick is so lucky!

  Some people think so.

   There were also people whispering such funny thoughts, and Blake, who was hiding in the crowd, shrugged, showing a helpless expression.

   He can be sure that Little Xingxing "cheated".

   No matter how lucky a person is, it is impossible to win so many prizes at one time.

   This wave is really not the fault of the goblins, but the Blue Dragon Princess is a bit bullying.

   But Xiaoxing's technique is too rough. What's the difference between this and Ming grab?

Fina next to    was also a little embarrassed.

   Indeed, when she and Little Xingxing bought tickets together, Little Xingxing said to use some "technical" methods. At that time, she thought that Little Xingxing had some mysterious magic that changed her luck.

   I didn't expect it to be so simple and rude. She can do it for her, uh, no, she can't do it yet, she can't see through the magic seal on those lottery tickets.

  The form of winning tickets is somewhat similar to scratch-off.

   However, in the magical world, the winning designs are all sealed with magic, and even a high-level wizard can't see through the magic effect set by this special person.

   But playing this in front of a blue dragon is purely your own draw.

   "This lady, it's not that we don't honor the award."

   It was also the first time that a goblin employee had encountered such a "non-virtuous" opponent. Seeing that more and more people gathered around, he was also a little dumbfounded.

   The goblin employee who has always been articulate is a little stammering when he speaks.

  As a native of Gadgetzan, he knows very well how many people and how bad his reputation has been by relying on internal operations over the years. The locals hate this thing deeply.

   If this incident is not handled well today, it will be a riot in an instant.

   As the unlucky guy who sparked the riot, he will definitely be sent by the trade prince to a tattered island in the South China Sea to spend the rest of his life.

  It doesn't matter whether you die or not, the important thing is that you won't be able to make money in the future.

   This is worse than death for a goblin.

   Standing on the table, he stammered and explained:

   "This is a little technical adjustment! That's right, don't worry everyone, the prizes will be redeemed today, we are asking the legendary wizard who is in charge of the wonderful tickets at the issuing place to come and verify the prizes!

   This is a normal process, locals know it, and we have the best reputation.

   Everyone understands. "

   As soon as he finished speaking, there was boos around him.

   Fortunately, the goblins are thick-skinned and don’t care about this.

   He will be complaining in his heart about what the leader of the local dirty hand party did!

  It has been done many times before. Everyone has a mature business model. After the lottery is drawn, the money of the dirty hands will be returned in full, and the money of the fools will be divided into 37%.

   This business has been in business for so many years, why did something go wrong today?

   "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

   While waiting more and more anxiously, a group of burly men suddenly rushed over, all wearing tattered formal clothes, and their races were very mixed.

   There are orcs, there are ogres, there are goblin punks, a group of sandfury troll thugs.

   was headed by a rare two-headed ogre, who also pretended to wear wide-brimmed hats on both heads, and charged aggressively, causing the crowd to hide for a while, and also making the eyes of the embarrassed goblin employees shine.

  Fortunately, the dirty hands are coming fast, just send this blue-haired chick away

  Wait, this little girl is pretty good looking, she's still an elf, tie it up and sell it to the Zandalari troll nobles, it will definitely sell for a good price!

   The goblin employee had another crooked idea in his head.

   But before his arrogant fantasies were over, the dirty hands rushing over there fell to the ground one by one, screaming in pain, making the people around them dumbfounded.

   A slender elf warrior, holding a black epee to block the crowd, and slashing one by one, no matter what race you are, no matter what power you have, he will be ruthless.

   Even the strongest two-headed ogre was cut down with a single sword.

   "You bastards! Didn't you see you knocked down my brother?"

   Fenna yelled while slashing people:

   "My brother is sick, look, he vomited blood! You bastard, lose money! If you can't get 100,000 gold coins today, no one is allowed to leave!"

   At Fenna's feet, Blake was crouching on the ground in pain.

   The smelly pirate moaned and vomited blood, looking miserable.

  Finna was possessed by a playful spirit, cut down the last ogre, knelt on the ground at once, hugged her brother and called his name affectionately.

   It was as if Blake was going to go west in the next moment, and the troll thugs in the Dirty Hand were terrified one by one.

  Well, they eat this bowl of rice without being frightened by the blood.

   What they were afraid of was the black giant sword in Fina's hand.

   "Lasher! That's Suthus!"

   A bleak voice shouted:

   "The Excalibur is back! Loa is on top, why is it being held by a spirit! Sandfury is over, run, Sandfury's end is coming.

  The gods have brought disaster, and we are finished. "

The group of Sand Furious thugs shouted and dispersed, leaving only a group of local bigwigs lying in a pool of blood. The two-headed ogre headed by Fenna cut off one head with a sword, but his vitality is tenacious. did not die immediately.

   Fina stepped on him with a sword, shouting for him to lose money.

   The ogre wailed in pain, knowing that he kicked a piece of iron plate forged by Titan iron. In the past, they were the only ones who bullied others, but today they got the reward.

   He can only howl to let his subordinates who can still move to withdraw money.

  100,000 gold coins, not less than a cent, otherwise the dirty hand that has dominated Gadgetzan for several years will be wiped out today.

   The goblin employee who watched this scene was sweating coldly, which made Little Xingxing even more proud.

   If she had a tail, it would have shaken the afterimage for sure.

   "Exchange or not?"

  Xiaoxing patted the table again and shouted arrogantly.

  The goblin turned his head and saw that the legendary gnome mage hired by the Hot Sand Consortium at a high price was hiding aside with a weird hood and gesturing to him vigorously.

   The goblin employees panicked. Is this an enemy that even the famous Lord Milhouse Manastorm can't deal with?

   He wailed in his heart.

All right.

   Today is doomed to go bankrupt, last year was a waste of time.

The    goblin employee sighed, lost all his strength at once, and slumped on the chair. He weakly wiped the sweat from his face, put away a few tickets for Little Star, and said:

   "Gold coins will be sent to you right away."

   "Wait, there's one more."

  Blake, who was still vomiting blood just now, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, walked gracefully to the old cow who was wagging his tail, and picked up the lottery ticket in Kane's hand.

   patted it on the table without looking at it and handed it to the goblin employee, saying:

   "Yo, look how lucky we are, it's another grand prize."

   "No, mine didn't win."

   The simple and honest old cow twitched his tail in embarrassment and whispered.

  Black said without looking back:

   "No, you won, it's the grand prize, it's just that you got it wrong."

   He stared at the goblin employee in front of him and asked:

   "Are you right, professional?"

   The goblin employee swallowed.

   He clearly recognized who the man in front of him was, and looked back with a stiff neck. The legendary dwarf mage who had gestured to him just now had disappeared.

   The poor little greenskin looked down at the ticket in his hand that clearly didn't win, and then looked at Blake's "nuclear and amiable" eyes, and he wailed again in his heart.

All right.

   When I met this evil star, I wasted most of the year.

   Soon, a goblin tricycle delivered several large boxes of gold coins.

The winning amount of the   terrestrial ticket is very general, and even the special prize is not much. But this kind of unearned joy still made Blake's face full of joy, especially Fenner's side also received "compensation", which is more than joy.

   "Thirty-seven points."

  Black counted the boxes and turned around to say something to Kane.

   Lao Niu was so happy at this moment, he looked at the yellow-orange gold coin and said very politely:

   "No problem, 70% of the time will be delivered to the ship."

"you"

  The smelly pirate took another look at the little star whose eyes were curled up and said:

   "You should score six or four."

   "Give me six points!"

  Little Xingxing stretched out his hand to block the box like a hen protecting her cubs, and said something fierce. The pirate was about to refute, but when he saw Xiao Xingxing approaching, he kissed his face fiercely, and said with a blushing face:

   "This is considered compensation for you, isn't that enough?"

"Uh"

  Black would like to say that your kiss is worth tens of thousands of gold coins?

   But looking at the little star who had begun to grind his teeth, he didn't say these words in the end.

   And just as the pirates were about to leave with the money, a goblin in a servant costume suddenly ran over and whispered to Black:

   "Your Excellency 'Sea Wolf', the trade prince invites you to be a guest. We have an important message to convey to you. These money are all our sincerity."

"Um?"

  The pirate instantly raised his face and said:

   "I earned all this money based on my ability! What do you mean by your kindness? Don't you have to pay for the carriage and horses if you invite someone with status to be a guest? Is your prince so ignorant of the rules?"

  The goblin servant was stunned by Black's shamelessness.

   He was even stunned for a few seconds, and then he came to his senses. While saying that he had learned, he explained it more respectfully:

   "This matter is related to the Bloodsail Pirates, it is really urgent."

   "Well, that's it."

   Black rubbed his chin and said:

   "Then you said it earlier, lead the way. Also, do you have an alchemist named Malin Northenfogg here?"
