Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 181 89. Returning to the place where the dream started (Part 2)

   Over the past many years, Booty Coast has been an important place for pirates in the South China Sea to sell off their stolen goods and gather.

   Naturally, it is also a big 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 on the Eastern Continent. When the merchants of Kul Tiras took this route, they could not avoid stopping here.

   And Rivegaz is very smart. He charges a very low merchant tax on all Kul Tiran ships entering the port, which attracts many sea merchants here.

   It also includes the Ashvane family that dominates the official trade of the Kurdish country, and that family even has a trading company on the Booty Coast, which makes Dai Lin a little bit jealous.

   He was a king after all.

  You can’t do things by your temperament, you must always weigh the pros and cons.

   There is such a business involvement, and every year, the Kuomintang maritime merchants will make high profits in this city. With money, they can pay more taxes, raise more navies, and maintain and build more warships.

   Therefore, Dai Lin finally turned a blind eye to the existence of the Treasure Coast.

   It is thanks to the "tacit understanding" between the rich tycoon Rivigaz and the sea king Dailin that this neutral city of goblins has become more and more prosperous over the years.

   In a place like this, without the power of the all-pervasive Ravenholdt Manor, Black would be very disappointed in the capabilities of the Assassin League.

   In fact, since the start of the Second Orc War, Booty Coast has been the base camp for Ravenholdt and MI7 assassins in the "enemy-occupied zone".

   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 they couldn't rush into the goblin city and destroy the human intelligence network.

   is not because the 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 they drink the blood of fel energy, they are completely unable to cultivate and herd.

   They went all the way to the northern border. In addition to plundering materials along the way and using warfare to support the war, there were also some materials that were obtained through goblin channels.

  If the orcs storm into Booty Bay, they will lose their last supplies.

  The importance of the goblins to the war the orcs are going on, not only Orgrim can see clearly, but even the Blackhand High Chief who was once overridden.

   During the time when the evil Gul'dan was in power, the Grand Warlock even demanded that the Bloodring Orcs operating in Stranglethorn Vale should not attack the goblins in Booty Bay at will.

   These little green-skinned 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 was cruising near the southern border, the frequency of trade between goblins and orcs has decreased a lot.

   "Mr. Black, you really disappeared for a long time."

   In the chaotic tavern, Blake sat on a chair at the bar, and in front of him was a goblin bartender who was standing on the chair and pouring drinks for him.

  Behind the pirate, Evil Eye and Maim protected him from left to right, using warlock magic and the Red family sword to prevent other **** from disturbing the captain.

   As far as the fighting strength of these uneven alcoholics in the tavern is concerned, they simply cannot break through the line of defense of these two.

   The goblin bartender has seen the world too.

   He didn't care about the increasingly fierce tavern brawl in front of him. He squinted his sly eyes and poured amber rum into the glass in front of Blake.

   used his left hand with only four fingers to push Black'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 Pasonia, as well as a dwarf major in Ironforge, and a gnome agent in Gnomeregan.

   Even, the papal emissary from Stratholme.

   A lot of people are following you, but no one has any clues about you. You just disappear like when you appeared. "

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

   And you see, am I not back now? "

  Black picked up the wine glass, his eyes under the mask swept to the goblin in front of him, and a detective threw it out, allowing him to see the specific information of the goblin bartender:

   "Razor" Rejik

   Mortal body. Camouflage. Shadow covering. Combat vigilance

   Level 60 Rogue/Level 45 Tinker

  Black's investigation has been "upgraded" by the garbage **** Loa Lao Garni. In addition to seeing character information, he can see more things.

   For example, on the neck of the goblin in front of him, on the fingers, and on the back waist, there are green lights beating, which means that there are high-quality magic items in these places.

   The bartender also felt the unkind gaze of the pirate in front of him, so he silently reached out and held an object under the bar.

   That thing glowed blue.

   "Don't be nervous, Rejik."

   Black chuckled and said:

   "Remove your hands from that dangerous thing by the way, my friend. I just got back and urgently need to know the current war situation in the Eastern Continent.

   I would love to continue serving the league. "

   "But you mixed with orcs, sir."

   The goblin bartender said in the goblin's signature high-pitched voice:

   "It's hard not to think of some dangerous omens."

   "They serve me, they are my crew, my men. In theory, they are also outside members of Ravenholdt."

   Pirate shrugged and said:

   "And as far as I know, Ravenholdt long ago recruited assassins and spies in the troll clan to keep track 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, just a group of human beings who are defeated, no one will scold me for this. "

   The goblin bartender gritted his teeth, he wanted to say more, to prevaricate the "Alliance Hero" Blake Shaw who suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of him, who was extremely stressful.

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

   A strange emotion rose in Goblin Rejik's heart.

   He knew very well what Black had done in the North, and he knew that an orc legend had died at the hands of the assassin in front of him.

   He knew that Black single-handedly helped the Alliance army win the initiative in the Hinterlands battlefield. It is said that nearly a thousand orcs died in his hands.

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

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

   is so dangerous that a trace of fear emerges from the ground carefully.

   "I'm going to have lunch with the rich man Rivigaz later. He praised me as Booty Bay's most honorable guest and promised me the highest service in his city."

  Black put down his glass and said:

   "So, don't waste my time, friend, and give me the military report I want. In your goblins' words, time is money."

   A hint of concession appeared in Rejik's eyes.

   He jumped off the chair, turned around and took out a few sheets of paper with battle reports in the dark compartment of the bar, rolled them up and handed them to Blake, who took them in his hands without looking at them and put them in his arms.

   "It may take 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 Light Walkers that I have a gift to present to His Excellency the Pope in the near future. "

  Black stood up, tossed out a few gold coins, and left them as a tip for Goblin Rejik.

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

   However, after the pirate took two steps, he turned his head and raised his hand again. A delicate one-handed musket spun around in his palm, and he said to the goblin Rejik, whose color changed greatly:

   "This thing is good, I want it."

   After he finished speaking, he swaggered with his group of violent orcs and left the mess, and lay down in a bar full of brawlers.

   In this kind of small-scale fight, the powerful orcs really have the advantage.

   After watching Blake leave, the goblin assassin Rejik trembled and touched the place where the pistol was fixed under the bar, where he took out a beautiful gem.

  Black took his self-defense pistol and kept the thing in exchange.

  This gem is priceless at first sight, but there is no joy in the eyes of the money-loving goblins.

   How did that guy just change these two things?

   He just turned around for less than a second, and he completed this action, it was like playing tricks on him, and then he thought of Blake asking him for help just now, applying for the Assassin Master Trial in Ravenhold Manor.

   So, did the new star of the Assassin League, Blake Shaw, complete the progression from rookie to master in one and a half months?

This.

   Is he the **** child of the legendary shadow?

   This is too exaggerated, right? —

  While Black, as a VIP, had lunch with the rich man of Booty Bay, Rivigaz, on the remote island of Zandalar, in the great desert of Voldun.

  In the hall of the Sanctuary of the Devotees, which has been empty, a black snake man dressed in luxury and with a sapphire crown flowing with lightning is looking at the water under 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 pursue those compatriots who still retain their deplorable beliefs.

   "Repeat it again!"

   The tall black snake man said indifferently:

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

   "Your Majesty! In a place in the Eastern Continent!"

  Behind the serpent king, there was a serpent hunter who had lost his arm, and he did not dare to look up at his king, the great Kothek, who commanded hundreds of thousands of unbelievers in the Waldun Desert.

   It answered in a trembling and humble voice:

   "I heard it clearly then, Your Majesty, those outsiders want to send the keystone guarded by the devout to a country beyond the sea. To a city called Dalaran!

   He said there was the tightest treasury in the world, and that beneath their earth lay the same dark things as those in the Waldun Desert. "

   "Eastern Continent. Human Dalaran."

A trace of impatience and killing intent flashed in the ruthless eyes of    the unbeliever's snake man emperor. It leaned on the double-headed snake scepter wrapped with lightning in its hands. After more than ten seconds of silence, it said:

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

   Soon, under the **** of the elite snake-man 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.

   This guy only has a skeleton body left.

   But that skeleton's jaw was always open, as if showing a smile.

  It came here, and pretended to greet the black snake man in front of him, and said:

   "Ah, the great Emperor Kotek, you will definitely be angry when someone steals something you must get. Snake people are not good at sailing. Without the help of friends, you will not be able to take back the treasure in your heart.

   But luckily, I would love to be your friend and the unbeliever, 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 Snake Man turned around and looked at the troll skeleton pirate behind him with gloomy and ruthless eyes. It spit out a scarlet snake letter and said:

   "You are Zemran's subordinate?"

   "No, Your Majesty, 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'm free, I also want to recreate the great event of the Cursed Pirates, but embarrassingly, my companions also left with Zemlan.

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

  Trust me, Your Majesty, I have been there many times back then.

   As for Dalaran.

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

   So, what do you say? "

   "I just want that keystone!"

   Black Snakeman Kotek said calmly:

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

  Where is your boat? "

"There!"

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

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

   O sea of ​​infinity, O sea of ​​treasure, O sea of ​​plunder.

  Blake Shaw, I accept your invitation!

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