Diego quietly folded the note and put it away. He knew who wrote it, and he knew that the person who wrote it was being held there, but they didn't have a boat and couldn't get to the island. As soon as you have to see the opportunity, you have to act.

They followed the trail west, through the canyon, to a Cape mountain range that stretched across the southernmost tip of the Thorn Valley Peninsula.

Here they found the tunnel that led to Booty Bay. If he hadn't been here in a previous life, Diego would have had a hard time believing that this strange building built in front of the mountain wall was the back door of the goblin city. It looked like the bow of a ship crashing out of the mountain wall, with a tall mast planted on top of it, complete with cables, lookouts, crossbars and sails painted with skulls.

At the entrance of the bow tower, there are also two rows of huge shark teeth, sharp and shiny, and walking into the bow tower is like walking into the mouth of a shark, which is terrifying. I have to say, the goblin architects are really funny.

Outside the forecastle, there were several heavily armed goblin guards standing at this moment. The wealth of Treasure Bay is perfectly reflected in them: these soldiers are well-dressed in black iron chain mail and wear sturdy steel weapons. Some of them carried muskets, some of them had maces in their hands, and Diego even saw a fishing net on the waist of one of them.

When they saw the Bloodsail Pirates approaching the end of the road, the goblin guards visibly became nervous. They drew their weapons and assumed a defensive posture. As the biggest enemy of Booty Bay, the Bloodsail Pirate's outfit left a deep enough impression in each of their hearts that they would never be mistaken.

"Hey, man, don't be so nervous, it's just a captive we caught." Masrae stepped out from behind the pirates and shouted at the goblin guards.

The goblins breathed a sigh of relief, but did not lay down their weapons.

"Who are you?" A goblin dressed as a leader greeted him and asked. He didn't make any unkind moves, and the adventurers who were able to catch five pirates with just two men - in fact, Masrae was the only one to do it - was clearly not so easy to provoke.

"As you can see, we are adventurers. On the way to Treasure Bay, I met these guys who didn't have long eyes. And he caught them. ”

"Well, you can leave them to us, and I'll send them where they need to go." The goblin waved his hand and motioned for his men to come forward and receive the captive.

He took out the money bag. He took out a gold coin and threw it over. "It's a bounty!"

That's a fair price, as these pirate minions aren't really worth much.

Masrae grabbed the gold coin. They are not short of money, but they also don't mind taking this small amount of money to buy at least two bottles of good wine. He glanced at Diego and walked inside the gate.

But the goblin leader called them again.

"Hey. Man, want to make a lot of money? My little cubs are either holding bottles or women," he said, glancing at the few remaining goblin soldiers behind him who were still loyal to their duties, "They won't be out of the harbor until the last copper plate is spent, I need good hands like you." ”

"No, actually, we're like that - we're not going to leave this good place until we've drained our purse strings." Masrae said with a smile. Although what he said is not the truth, this is the norm for most adventurers, and when they earn money, they must spend it quickly, and it is rare to let them stay in their purse bags for more than three days - how to put it, the most painful thing in life is that when you die, the money in your pocket has not been spent! This is especially true for adventurers who lick blood with knives and have no tomorrow today!

"In this place, I'm sure you'll soon run out of money in your pockets," the goblin leader shouted from behind them. He was answered by the Night Elf's raised middle finger, but he didn't give up, "If you change your mind, you can find me at the Sailor's House Inn in the city." I'll go there every night, and you can find me by name of Kraz. ”

Masrae didn't say anything this time, he waved his hand behind him and walked into the bow with Diego.

Walking through the gate, the inside of the bow tower is actually a tunnel through the mountains. The tunnel is tall and spacious, with a thick layer of wooden planks on the ground. The sides are supported by wooden stakes and slabs, so that even a four-wheeled carriage walking on it does not look cramped. Every short distance, bright lanterns are installed on the wooden pillars on the side of the road, illuminating the tunnel. Moreover, there are patrolling goblin guards passing by in the tunnel from time to time, and there are many things such as knocking on stuffy sticks and picking pigs, and they all look orderly.

They walked along the tunnel for about a quarter of an hour before finally seeing the light coming through the opening. The two men quickened their pace and walked out of the hole.

Suddenly there was a light in front of them, and with the oncoming sea breeze blowing in front of them, a busy and noisy port city appeared in front of them.

It's a very open free port. As long as you don't break the laws here, Booty Bay is friendly to everyone who comes here. Although they had recently made a big deal at the Goblin Ventures camp, Diego was not at all worried that the goblins in Booty Bay would be hostile to them, because this goblin city belonged to the Goblin Hot Sands Consortium, and they were bitter enemies of Goblin Ventures, in fact, if they were to say what they were doing on the shores of Lake Neferiti, the city would even treat them as if they were guests. But Diego doesn't intend to do so.

Located at the southernmost tip of the Thorn Valley Peninsula, the north-south Cape Mountains make a semicircular bend and sink westward along the continental shelf. Treasure Bay is located on the inner side of this semicircle.

Due to the protection of the Cape Mountains, the bay is a natural deep-water harbor with steep mountains and low turbulence. But because of the steepness of the mountain, Treasure Bay lacked enough land to build houses, but it was difficult for the goblin architects, who built a two-story port city on the mountain wall with sturdy wooden piles and planks.

Booty Bay is a very famous neutral city in the entire Eastern Kingdom continent. Almost all kinds of shops can be found here, from blacksmiths to jewelry shops, enchantment shops to alchemy workshops, and almost all of Azeroth needs are available here, provided you have enough gold. Of course, if you don't have a lot of money, you can also find banks and auction houses opened by goblins here to provide you with mortgages or loans.

The streets here are always bustling with people. Here, you can see the minotaurs from Thunder Bluff selling medicinal herbs, and you can also see the copperbearded dwarves of Ironforge selling armor; You can see the irascible orcs from Orgrimmar and the human priests of Stormwind preaching. In short, this is a peaceful commercial city, and any racial and factional conflicts must be thrown into the sea before entering, otherwise, the goblin guards who are eyeing you will not mind teaching you a profound lesson with muskets and maces.

As a harbour city, the marinas at Booty Bay always seem crowded and busy. Ships anchored here traveled between the ports of the Eastern Kingdom and Kalimdor, the most important of which was the route to the goblin city of Ratchet Tooth, from where merchant ships were always popular for bringing Kalimdor specialties, from animal skins and medicinal herbs to gems and crafts.

Diego easily found the Mariner's House, as the ship's bow-shaped balcony on the second floor of the inn is so striking in a low-slung wooden house that it's hard to ignore its existence.

When they arrived at the inn, the innkeeper was disemboweling a huge shark. It was hung headfirst from the mast planted in front of the hotel, and the blood that flowed from it flooded half the street, roared onto the roof of the fishing tackle shop on the lower level of the harbor, and finally into the water below. However, the owner of the fishing tackle shop was not unhappy with this, because the blood flowing into the sea attracted countless carnivorous fish that smelled blood, and his business became more prosperous.

"You're in luck, we had big fillet for dinner today!" Seeing the two guests walking towards the hotel, the goblin boss said enthusiastically. This is his best dish, the signature dish of the inn, and it is very famous throughout Booty Bay, and of course, it is very expensive. (To be continued.) )
