Booty Bay Inner City.

Because the port is located right behind a mountain range on the coast, half of this famous harbor city is built on the coast offshore, and the entire inner city is even overhang, less than three meters above sea level. The foundation is made up of giant logs that require several people to hug each other, connected by thick iron bars and covered with several layers of thick and solid planks.

The inner city and the outer city near the mountains are connected by more than a dozen plank roads, which are high and low, like an elevated highway in the real world, making the whole city accessible in all directions.

A small wooden building near the outer city is Garol Goldcoin's residence in Treasure Bay. The first floor is his shop, and the second floor is used as a warehouse and bedroom. Countless players come and go here every day, buying what they need from the goblin merchant or selling their own gadgets. Of course, Garol's biggest source of goods are those big guilds, and only they have the strength to provide Garol with a sufficient amount of materials and equipment.

In addition, he also rented a warehouse in the outer city of Treasure Bay as a workshop, and hired some lifestyle players to make various items, potions, and equipment there, although the quantity is not large, but this method of processing can maximize the value of those raw materials compared to selling them directly.

After returning from the city gate, Garol went headlong into the bedroom, and only after the men he hired had put the looted equipment in storage did he descend the stairs and appear in the shop on the first floor.

"Boss, here's a list of equipment and supplies recovered from those wastes."

Waving his hand, signaling that there was no need for him to look at this trivial matter, Garol said to the leading human player, "In addition to the Garcia Guild, have any of those guilds left the city to hunt in the jungle these days?" ”

"Both the Baroque Fury and the Wind Fury sent a team out, led by the two presidents themselves, supposedly to see who had gained more, and had just left two days ago. The only ones left are the Liberty Torch and the Sea Hero, but I haven't heard that these two guilds have any hunting plans recently. As for the small guilds with less than a hundred people, to be honest, no one cares whether they live or die. "These players can act as salespeople in the store and collect all kinds of information about Treasure Bay for Garroll, so they are also very good at knowing the player base in Treasure Bay.

"Hmm!" Garol thought for a moment, "Go and ask His Excellency Oxton, the leader of the Freedom Torch Guild, to come and say that I have something I want him to help with. ”

A moment later, an elf dressed in a mage's robe walked into the reception room on the second floor of the store.

"Haha! I didn't expect Your Excellency Garol to remember my little brother, I didn't say it, as long as your brother has instructions, I won't say a word, and I will definitely do it for you. "Obviously with a delicate face, Oxton's every move makes people feel like a country old hat, but no one can deny that this elven mage and the Free Torch Guild he established are the most powerful force in the Treasure Bay player community, and the guild members are said to exceed a thousand people, and at most they can even organize four hunting teams at the same time.

However, while Oxton and his Free Torch Guild are well-known among the players of Booty Bay, the elven mage does not dare to underestimate the goblin player in front of him. In terms of the time to enter the world of Entagre, Garol Gold Coin is his senior, in terms of assets, this goblin merchant is even more complete in his streets, in terms of connections, just look at this two-story building in the inner city can be seen, you know, so far no guild has the ability to buy even a lowest-level property in the inner city, that requires not only gold coins, but also enough status.

The only thing he can be proud of is the Freedom Torch Guild that he has single-handedly established. And among them, the help of this goblin merchant is indispensable.

Garol smiled and poured a glass of water for Oxton, elves prefer tea to wine, and Oxton, who is an elven mage, has more rules in this regard: "There is nothing important, I happened to meet President Mogberg at the city gate just now, and it seems that this time Garcia's guild hunting operation is confident." ”

"I've also heard that Mogberg seems to have recruited several masters in the past few days, and I'm afraid I can't wait to prove my skills! Why, is Lord Garol worried that the Garcia Guild will not hand over the loot to you to sell when the time comes? "Due to Garrol's status and status, most of the major guilds in Treasure Bay will hand over all kinds of loot in their hands to him for sale, on the one hand, to increase the relationship between the two sides, and on the other hand, because the price of selling directly to the aborigines is too low, and they themselves do not have enough life players and sales channels." I don't think you need to worry about it at all. Although the Mogberg guy looks very rude, he is still very right-minded and will not do such a thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. ”

Garol smiled bitterly and shook his head, to be honest, he didn't care how much loot Garcia's guild would sell him at that time, even if there were more raw materials, could they be more valuable than a purple legendary-level shield?

"I'm not worried about this! I'm worried that President Mogberg will be in danger this time. ”

"Oh? At risk? Baroque and Windward did set off two days ago, but they couldn't have joined forces to deal with Garcia, right? Who would dare to let them hang out in Treasure Bay then? As for the dangers encountered during the hunt, brother, to be honest, no one can be sure of this matter, and it is useless to worry. ”

"No, it's not like that!"

It was strange to Oxton that Garrol seemed to have something else hidden, as the goblin merchant had never shown such emotions in a single vein, and seemed to want to say something, but he didn't dare to say it. This made him more and more curious.

"Brother, just say it, what do you want me to do?"

Garol held the cup in his hand, considered the council, and finally made up his mind: "Then I'll be straight to the point!" I hope that President Oxton will immediately dispatch all the good men in the guild who can participate in the hunt, find a way to find the traces of President Mogberg, and if nothing happens, then I will take a trip to the jungle, and I will compensate your guild with 10,000 gold coins when I return. If something happens, I hope that Lord Oxton will find a way to get President Mogberg and them back, or at least make it back alive. ”

Oxton was surprised by Garol's request, 10,000 gold was not a small amount, it was enough to build an elite squad or expand the guild by more than half again. And now, it's just to ask him to come forward and find a way to keep Mogberg safe.

Oxton doesn't think Garol will worry about Mogberg being the food of those trolls in the jungle, Garcia is a big guild no matter what, even if it can't be defeated, the possibility of annihilation is very small, in fact, so far, with the exploration of the Valley of Thorns getting deeper and deeper, the battle loss rate of several big guild hunting teams has become lower and lower, and it is rare to have more than fifty percent casualties.

However, looking at Garol's appearance, it seems that he believes that this time the hunting team led by Mogberg will be completely wiped out in the jungle. It's really interesting, what is it that makes this goblin merchant so dismissive of those guys in Garcia?

"No problem! Your brother's business is my business! I'll go back and gather my men and set off in an hour! Oxton agreed without hesitation, not only because of the ten thousand gold coins, but also because he wanted to see what worried Garol so much. However, it is clear that there is probably no more information to be unearthed from the mouth of this goblin merchant.

"Then please President Oxton!"

Standing at the window on the second floor, watching Oxton leave the shop, Garroll's brow still did not stretch, he was almost sure that this time the Devouring Serpent must have some special purpose in entering the jungle of the Valley of Thorns, if he could know the secret, he might be able to get a glimpse of the true face of this mysterious organization, and even be able to get great benefits from it.

As a businessman, Garol wouldn't be so naïve to put all his hopes in one basket, and in addition to the Torch of Freedom, he had to find a way to find some pawns from the players struggling to survive in the outer city. In order to catch big fish, it is necessary to cast a wide net.

On the other side, Oxton, who had returned to the guild's temporary residence, immediately recruited several of his cronies.

"Did anything special happen today?"

Several cronies glanced at each other, wondering why their own president would ask that. One of them thought for a moment and said, "Nothing is happening in the city, but there is something new at the city gate." ”

"What's going on at the gates?" Oxton immediately remembered that Garol had said that he had met Mogberg at the gates.

"Two strange players wearing full-body cloaks, who seem to be undead, killed a group of gangsters from the outer city at the city gate, and it is said that those two undead are very powerful, and those who died were killed with a single sword."

"That's right, that's right! I've also heard that there are a few players who happened to be watching the show around and were terrified, saying everything, and some people said that the two undead had heroic strength! Just kidding! "As soon as someone started up, someone else started to chim.

"When you say that, I remember. It seems that the Mogberg of the Garcia Guild is only a few minutes away, and it is said that he thinks those two undead players are very powerful, and wants to pull them into the guild, and says that he can give the vice president a seat! ”

With a few of his cronies saying a word, Oxton soon had a rough idea of what was happening at the gates.

Could it be that the goblin merchant Garol Gold is worried about the two undead? Indeed, being able to easily slaughter more than two dozen players is not something that ordinary people can do, and the skills and equipment of those two undead players are probably very good, but if it is said that two people can kill those elite players of Garcia, Oxton still has some disbelief.

That doesn't mean he's not interested, though.

"Immediately gather everyone in the elite group, and leave a note for them if they don't go online, and let them form a follow-up team to follow up as soon as they go online. An hour later, we were also in the jungle! ”

"Huh? President, we just came out of there three days ago, and we're going to be in again so soon? "For Oxton's decision, some people still feel that it is not appropriate, because the losses suffered in the last hunt cannot be made up in such a short time, the destroyed equipment needs to be replaced, the lost experience needs to be retrained, and the reserves of various potions and props have not yet been completed, and the danger level will increase exponentially if you go deep into the jungle again in such a short time.

"His Excellency Garol promised us a reward of 10,000 gold coins on the condition that Mogberg be brought back safely." Oxton didn't make any big senses, as a president, he knew very well what those elite players under his command were pursuing, and at this time, no matter how much truth he said, it couldn't compare to a golden gold coin.

Sure enough, with the stimulus of a heavy reward, no one was willing to object. With Oxton's order, the entire Freedom Torch Guild immediately boiled, and the elite players online were immediately summoned back no matter what they were doing, and those who were not online also left special personnel for them to convey their requirements.

An hour later, Oxton, who had successfully organized three hunting teams, led them headlong into the jungle of the Valley of Thorns without looking back.

At the same time, at the docks of Booty Bay, a group of players also gathered, led by the vice president of the Sea Heroes Guild, a lucky person who accidentally acquired the pirate class. With a wave of his hand, the group of players sat in two dinghys by the dock, cameo as a sailor, and drove the two dinghys along the coastline towards the Valley of Thorns.

Of course, such a big move can't hide from those players who are messing around in the outer city, and soon, I don't know who came out with the news, saying that a big treasure has been found in the jungle depths of Thorn Valley, and several guilds have entered the jungle to make a fortune. As for what this so-called great treasure is, there are different opinions, and countless versions soon appeared.

The crowd of players didn't attract the attention of the goblins, but someone noticed the anomaly.

In a tavern near the docks, several dwarves were gulping down their wine. There were still some players in the tavern who also left the tavern after hearing the news about the Great Treasure, wanting to try their luck and see if they could be the lucky ones.

"What do you think, Samur?"

The dwarf known as Samuel drank the Thorn Valley spirits from his glass in one gulp, wiping a handful of his thick beard that almost covered his entire mouth: "I still think the spirits of Ironforge taste better!" What do I think? I think, whether that big treasure is real or not, we're going to have to make a trip! Don't forget, this time we're here to find out the truth about the destruction of the Gulabash Empire! The Explorers' Guild didn't think that the troll empire would fall apart overnight simply because of the loss of elven pressure, and that not even a decent city had been preserved. ”

"That's right, when excavating the ruins of the Amani Empire before, the guild believed that the real cause of the destruction of the two troll empires was definitely not the elves."

"Well, unfounded speculation isn't our forte! Tell everyone to resupply and head out as soon as they're replenished, I don't want those lovely ruins to be ruined by those savage and ignorant guys! ”
