"Hey, goblins! You say it only takes a gold coin to get us out of here? Is it true? ”

More and more people gathered in front of the house, and a young man who couldn't hold back his eagerness asked loudly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Of course, my friend! We have a fleet of Lacroz chambers docked nearby! That's right, the coastline further south! Didn't your princes tell you about it? That's a shame...... We were passing through, but our boss thought we could do a business temporarily. ”

A goblin replied in fluent lingua franca.

"What business?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

"Our boss felt that we were on the way back anyway and there was no cargo on board...... Instead of running for nothing, it is better to give you a ride by the way; We are about to return to Booty Bay, the southernmost point of the mainland, where our goblin harbor is located; And you only need to pay a gold coin to follow our ship to get there. ”

Another goblin shouted.

"What are we going to do there?"

Some people don't quite understand what these two goblins mean.

"There are no orcs there, my dear friend! There are countless wines and delicacies to enjoy; As long as you have money, you can stay there until the end of this world! Also, as long as you have money...... We can also send you wherever you want...... Are you satisfied with this answer? ”

The goblin gave his own answer.

The two goblins had loud voices and spoke the lingua franca fluently, and most of the onlookers could hear them clearly.

The crowd fell silent at this moment - "there are no orcs there" - and the words deeply touched them.

Not all humans in the Wild West have seen orcs, but there are quite a few refugees who have escaped from Stormwind and settled here.

Over the past few months, refugees who had escaped from Stormwind had brought their orc fears to the Wild West, spreading unbounded.

Before the Orc invasion, the people of the Wild West had no idea what war was; Under the rule of the Ureon family, the southern part of the continent has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and even if there are scattered bandits, they do not have the strength to destabilize the entire country.

But these orcs were different—they swept the southern part of the continent like a tidal wave; The humans of the Wild West believe that they will not hesitate to carry out a massacre in the Wild West - just as they did in Stormwind.

After a brief silence, a whisper gradually erupted from the crowd.

"This thing...... Why didn't Sir Elgardine tell us? ”

"I don't know...... But I don't seem to see Sir Elgardine's family here...... Maybe they don't want to go. ”

"Then you should tell us about it...... I'm willing to go! ”

"Me too! I'll have to ask how I'm going to get on the boat......"

……

There was a lot of talk in the crowd, and most of them wanted to get out of here; The common people did not think as much as old Sir Elgardine, they only wanted to be safe for themselves and their families.

"Hey, goblins! How did I give you that one gold coin? Do you want to pay now? If you get on board...... Is there a limit to the number of people? ”

Some people raised their own questions.

"Of course not, my friend! As for that one...... You can give it now, or you can wait for the ship to reach its destination. It doesn't matter if you don't have any money right now! Our boss said that there are countless jobs in Booty Bay, and you can pay us back when you earn money there! ”

A goblin said.

Such tolerant conditions made the already intransigent crowd boil all at once—the townspeople living in Sentinel Ridge and Mooncreek were slightly richer, a gold coin...... They may be reluctant to do anything else, but no one will be too expensive to save their lives.

As for the peasants who came from afar, although they did not have a single gold coin with them, they ...... Didn't those goblins say that? Once you get to Booty Bay, settle down and work hard to get the money back!

"Count me in! Count me in! ”

Soon, someone took the lead and rushed in front of the two goblins, shouting, asking to be one of the passengers on board.

"Me too!"

"Count me in!"

"Don't squeeze the people in the back! Crush these two dwarfs, and no one can walk! ”

……

The crowd shouted and crowded, but they had only one purpose - and that was exactly what Lacroz wanted them to do - to get on board.

By the time Warrant Officer Oku arrived with his men to maintain order, the situation was somewhat out of control; The lucrative conditions of being able to leave this place threatened by orcs put the crowd in a state of semi-madness.

Warrant Officer Oku and his own soldiers could only try to avoid being trampled to death by the crowd, but inevitably, quite a few were already slightly injured in the crowd.

……

In front of the town hall of Mooncreek, the old mayor of the town, Sir Elgardine, leaned on his crutches and looked at the boiling crowd with some sadness.

"Sir Elgardine, you must stop them! Those goblins, they must be hatching a conspiracy! ”

McLaren, the tax collector of Sentinel Ridge, walked briskly up to Sir Elgardine and said in a loud voice.

"Do you have any proof, Mr. McLaren?"

Sir Elgardine smiled wryly and asked rhetorically.

"Of course! Do you hear those goblins? What goblin will return from a voyage without taking the local goods with them, and return to Booty Bay to make another profit? How could they possibly return on an empty boat? There's so much wrong with that! ”

McLaren replied loudly.

"But Mr. McLaren...... Do you think they'll take your word for it? I've been approached by people complaining that I shouldn't hide it from them when there is such a good opportunity...... What else can I do as an old man? I've lost the trust of the townspeople. ”

Sir Elgardine said in embarrassment.

"But if we don't stop them, then ......"

McLaren somewhat understood Sir Elgardine's difficulties, but he still didn't want to watch these compatriots being "tricked" by the goblins.

"Perhaps...... Maybe we're all wrong, Warrant Officer Oku is right, maybe...... Maybe these goblins are really ......"

Sir Elgardine said with a wry smile, and even McLaren couldn't tell whether the old mayor's tone really believed the goblins' nonsense, or whether he was just laughing at himself.

"But ......"

McLaren was about to say something, but suddenly, a scream and cries for help came from the north side of Mooncreek Town, interrupting him.

"What happened?"

Sir Elgardine asked in surprise.

"I don't know...... Could it be the orcs coming? ”

McLaren's tone was full of horror, and he looked towards the north of Mooncreek, but his view was blocked by the crowd and the houses—what was going on there?
