Fadil Bay is located in the southwestern part of the Arathi Highlands, where the mountains plunge headlong into the deep sea, creating a slender deep-water fjord. To get south from the Arathi Highlands, you have to cross a deep valley and then follow a steep mountain path all the way down to get here. In fact, the location is secluded and inaccessible, which is a big reason why the Blackwater pirates chose to build their smuggling docks here.

The marina is small enough to accommodate up to five medium-sized vessels at a time, or a maximum of two large vessels. At the moment, there is only one medium-sized sea vessel docked on the dock - the Virgin. The ship's human host, Shacks Aubrey, was sitting at the door of a humble shack by the docks, watching his sailors unload heavy bags of cargo from the ship.

Unlike the filthy sailors, Captain Aubrey's neat and clean outfit didn't look like a pirate at all, and he seemed so out of place with the mess around him. He wore a blue captain's uniform tailored to his muscular build, with a red tricorn hat nailed to the skull cockade on top of his head, and his hair and beard were meticulously trimmed to make him look ready for a grand ball.

The sky was raining and the air was cold and wet, much to Captain Aubrey's discomfort, preferring the warm sun and sand of Booty Bay. Compared to there, this cold, damp bay is as disgusting as the sewers of Stormwind. If it weren't for the gold coins, he wouldn't want to come to this hellish place.

"Hurry up, Nizlix, damn it, let those slackers hurry up!" Aubrey shouted impatiently to his first mate. His mood was not good at all, because his fleet had three ships when they set out from Treasure Bay, but only one had arrived here, except for the Virgin, which had safely entered the harbor, the Soul of the Silver Pine and the Veil of Mist had all been sunk by the Naga Sirens in the southern seas, and I really didn't know what these basilisks were mad about.

"If the rich man Rivigaz knew, he would have skinned me!" He thought with a gloomy face. If it weren't for his goblin first mate's constant stare on him, he would have even wanted to defect to the Bloodsail Pirates, the sworn enemy of Treasure Bay. Rivigaz knew better than anyone else how to control his fleet, and Aubrey had no idea how many of his sailors were the eyes of the rich man.

The wind blowing from the sea chilled Captain Aubrey, and he shook the woolen cloak behind him to wrap around himself. There were not many houses on the docks, most of them were simple shacks, which were built by the Blackwater pirates who were resident on the smuggling docks for the sailors on the smuggling ships. But don't think that these uses are free, even this kind of dilapidated house with ventilation on all sides has to charge half a silver coin every night, and the high price is almost catching up with most hotels in the Eastern Kingdom!

Maybe before heading back, you should try your luck in the town of Nanhai in the north, I heard that Silver Dawn has reclaimed the Plague Lands, although there are no rich products there, but some local unique alchemy materials, such as undead rot, necromantic essence, purple lotus, dark runes, and abomination stitches, have an extremely wide market in the south, and are very expensive.

While Captain Aubrey was thinking, through the rain he saw a group of fully armed humans walking down the hillside in the distance. They were brightly armoured and well-armed, and looked stronger than any army. But this is not good news for the pirates, and the more elite this group of unexplained creatures is, the more trouble they will have.

He scrambled to his feet and looked at the intruders from afar.

In fact, he was not the only one keeping an eye on the intruders, and there were hostile eyes at the doors and windows of the various shacks, and for the smugglers, their status determined their natural hostility to the regular army. A group of pirates in a variety of armor rounded the fjord and met them.

However, Captain Aubrey was not too nervous, because both the Syndicates occupying Fort Riptide and the Arashi hiding in the Valley of Refuge were well aware of their existence, and the sworn enemies needed all kinds of supplies they could deliver, from weapons and armor to food and cloth, as long as they could be delivered, everything was here.

Aubrey even fantasized about the day when this small pier would develop into a real port. After all, for the kingdom of Rapidsburg, which has no access to the sea, Fadil Bay is also a good choice.

As he had expected, the group of humans had not come to collect duties or exterminate the pirates, as they did not seem to be facing each other with swords, but rather chatting with the pirates, and Aubrey noticed that one of the pirates was also pointing in his direction and talking loudly to one of the humans leading the Kodomon.

Guided by the pirate, the group of humans rounded the fjord and made their way to the shack. They looked like they were here to do business.

"I hope it's a big business, and I can make up for the loss of this voyage!" Aubrey thought to himself.

A few minutes later, the captain noticed a young and cheerful human standing in front of him. He was dressed in half-new leather armor and covered with a burqa with an intricately patterned shield emblem depicted on the chest. It was supposed to be the family crest of some nobleman, and Aubrey felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Hail to you, Captain Shaxx Aubrey!" The young man saluted and said politely.

"Greetings to you, sir, how can I help you?" Aubrey hurriedly replied respectfully. This is a well-bred nobleman, and possibly a potential big customer, and he doesn't dare to slack off.

"Is your Virgin going back to Booty Bay?"

"No, actually, the losses on our voyage this time are quite large, and I am planning to try my luck in Nanhai Town to see if I can make up for some losses." The captain bargained skillfully, and if the price was high enough, he wouldn't mind returning home. That's business, anything can be discussed.

"I want to know, is Stormwind a stop on your route?" The young man did not answer, but asked other questions first.

"Yes, we usually stop once in Stormwind, it's a big market, and almost all of our goods can be sold there!"

"And you're going to be there to replenish your cargo, aren't you?" The young man smiled and said, he didn't seem to know anything about the pirates' livelihood, "I'm sure if all my men were on your ship, it wouldn't be able to hold any cargo anymore!" ”

"A thousand gold coins, no extra charge for mounts and belongings, I'll go straight south to Stormwind!" Captain Aubrey calculated in his heart, and quoted a price, which was twenty percent higher than the market price, but also had some discounts, and the warehouse below was empty and empty, so it was better to carry those big animals, and it would be better to take it as ballast.

"Deal!" The young man said cheerfully, "In addition, there is no extra charge for food and water!" ”

"Of course!" The captain nodded. This business was a complete windfall, you know, because of the invasion of the Scourge Legion, the northern countries have withered in commerce, and all kinds of output are pitiful, almost all the cargo ships returning from the north to the south are never fully loaded, and sometimes, it is not uncommon to run empty. This time a full load can bring them a lot of income.
