Chapter 156: Rocket Car
After walking south for twenty minutes off the coastline, the group found the southern rocket terminal in the woods.
"Goblin products, shocking, welcome to the Azhara rocket car!" The goblin keeper, who showed two large yellow teeth, enthusiastically introduced.
A rocket car is a vehicle that travels along a track in the shape of a rocket, and is more like a large firecracker than a regular train. Although goblins can also build beautiful and safe vehicles such as cars and flying machines like gnomes, they usually opt for more simple and violent engineering inventions due to their peculiar understanding of efficiency.
Linda was about to explain to the station attendant that they wanted to take a flying machine to Rustwater Harbor today, when a tall orc with the appearance of a warrior happened to come up. So the goblin administrator temporarily left Mo Qi and the others aside, asking about the orc warrior's intentions.
"Hi Tucas, why are you here? What is it? The goblin administrator asked, taking the paper tube from the orc's hand.
"A bounty notice from Orgrimmar." The orc replied in a thick voice.
"Do you want to post it at this station?" The goblin administrator asked.
"This is an order issued by the Great Chief himself." The orc replied with a shrug.
"Tsk, let me see, what kind of guy is this person who let the Great Chief personally order?" The goblin administrator unfolded the paper tube as he spoke.
"It's a fishman." Said an orc named Tucas.
"Haha! Tucas, it turns out that you will also be joking! I thought you orcs didn't have a sense of humor...... Oh my God! What a fishman! When the paper tube was fully unfolded, the goblin administrator said in surprise.
"He doesn't look vicious, does he?" The Rocket Rider said, pointing to the wanted portrait. He also showed Mochi and others the contents of the wanted painting.
There are not only portraits of Moqi fish-man forms on it, but also portraits of human forms.
"Mochi...... Most of them are in Fish-Man form, and they have potions that can transform into human form...... Wanted throughout the tribe, whether dead or alive, a reward of 10,000 gold coins? β
Hearing what was on the wanted notice, Mochi pulled the brim of his hat with his hand. Avena also subconsciously lowered her head, and in order to disguise her identity, Avena teamed up with Akarin to change Mochi's black dress into a black cloak.
Mo Qi also did not expect that his wanted would change from 20 gold coins to 10,000 gold coins, let alone that the scope of his wanted wanted would change from the sphere of influence of the Forsaken to the entire territory of the tribe.
Anvina tugged at Mochi's sleeve and motioned for Mochi to leave. But Moqi knew that it would be more suspicious to leave suddenly at this time, and Moqi shook his head at Avena before muttering a few more words in her ear.
Hearing Mochi's words made Anvina a little confused, but in the end she nodded and said that she would do it.
"What the hell did the fish-man do?" The rocket car administrator asked.
"Rumor has it that the fish-man kidnapped the princess of the Blood Elves, killed the High Chief's men, and led the fishmen to capture a castle on Lake Lordamere...... Of course, there are also some rumors that he may have a bigger conspiracy. At the end, the orc gave the goblin administrator a meaningful look.
"Subverting the Horde?"
"No, his goal is to take all of Azeroth."
"Hahahaha......"
With that, both the orc warriors and the goblin administrators laughed.
Mo Qi and the others were confused, completely unable to understand what they were laughing at.
"These big guys do boring things all day long!" Seeing that Linda and the others looked blank, the orc Tukas explained.
"yes, what do you say that the fish-people will subvert the tribe. I think they should have seen the Naga of Azhara! The warriors of the tribes on the front line of the Shattered Isles are fighting against the Burning Legion, but the big ones are worried about a fish-man on their own continent? I bet the fish-man just threw clams at the Queen! Then he was accused by the Banshee King of 'attempting to subvert the tribe'. The goblin administrator said indignantly.
Seeing the attitude of the two, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't believe that a fish-man could make a big wave, and they felt that the Great Chief's method of offering a reward of 10,000 gold coins to a fish-man was too trivial.
"By the way, where did you say you were going?" The goblin administrator asked.
"We're going to ......"
Linda was about to answer, but Avena snatched the conversation-
"We're going to Bleak Mountain."
Seeing that Linda was still going to speak, Anvina added. "Go by rocket car."
"But we're going to get there...... What are you doing on my shoulder? β
Linda was about to say something, and Akalin, who was on the side, hurriedly patted her on the shoulder.
"I'm going to get you guys ready for the rocket car."
It wasn't until the goblin administrator and orc warrior had left that Linda had a chance to ask her own questionsβ
"Didn't you say take a plane to Rusty Water Harbor? Why are you going to Bleak Mountain again? β
Akalin said helplessly, "Don't you see that Mochi's wanted portrait is posted everywhere?" At this time, when they go to Rusty Waterport, Mochi and Anvina will most likely be asked to take off their hats for inspection. β
"But didn't you say goblins are easy to buy?" Linda said dissatisfied.
"That's under normal circumstances, but now Mr. Mochi's bounty is as high as 10,000 gold coins!" Anvina explained.
"This too. Seriously, when I heard the amount of 10,000 gold coins, even I wanted to hand you over in exchange for a bounty. Linda said with a smile.
"There's a reason why Mr. Mock chose this time to go to Bleak Mountain, right?" Anvena asked.
"Originally, I planned to go and purchase supplies first, and then solve the camouflage thing." Mochi had a lot of items to procure, including medicinal herbs, clothes, food, weapons, and more, and he had the last bottle of "Soul Manifestation Potion" in his package. He originally thought that he would solve the material problem first and then consider the matter of disguising his identity, but now that the situation has changed, Mo Qi can only give priority to solving the problem of identity camouflage.
ββ¦β¦ Anyway, there's a mage tower near Bleak Mountain, and that mage has some magic items in his hand that can solve our appearance problems. Mochi said.
Speaking of the Mage Tower, Anvina wanted to ask more about it, but at this time the goblin administrator returned.
"A few guests, the rocket car is ready." The goblin administrator said with a smile.
The Administrator's smile was warm, but for some reason, Mochi always felt that the goblin's smile was full of malice and calculation.
Mo Qi and the others followed the administrator to the elevator to the rocket car docking platform on the second floor.
The rocket station is a typical goblin building, with an all-metal structure with joints in steel plates and nuts and rivets to hold the steel plates in place. In addition to this, the foyer and the lamppost are decorated with colored bulbs. In contrast to the Blood Elves' architecture, the Goblin's architecture is more practical, and the Goblin follows the slogan "Big is beautiful, more is good" in the field of architecture, just like the principles that the Goblins follow in the field of technology. It is precisely because the goblins have always adhered to the principle of "low cost, fast construction, and mass production" that they can create the "Iron Star", a technological weapon that can kill demons in seconds, and can also build an efficient vehicle such as the Ishshara rocket car at one-third of the cost of the Ironforge subway.
At this point, one might ask which side of the goblins or gnomes has more attainment in the field of engineering?
In Mochi's opinion, the gnomes inherited the Titan technology heritage, and their achievements in the high-end field naturally made it difficult for the goblins to reach (and because of this, the gnomes were able to blow up their own capital, Nomorigan). Goblin technology products are inexpensive, so goblin products are more widely used in both civilian and military applications.
On the platform, goblins in workers' uniforms were busy, some adjusting their gauges, some tightening nuts with wrenches, and diminutive goblins walking around the deck in figure-eight steps, arguing with their colleagues from time to time, complaining about each other's mistakes.
"Can this thing really sit?" Linda pointed to the rocket car in front of her and asked uncertainly, "Also, is this really a car?" It's a rocket! β
Anvena also cast a worried look at Mochi.
"Pretty good most of the time...... Mochi replied.
As soon as Anwena put her mind at ease and got into the rocket car, Moqi added-
"Remember to be ready to jump out of the car at any time."
Anvena nearly fainted.
