Chapter 21: Destination Ratchet City
"Your Excellency. โณยข," the seven tribal adventurers shouted Cheng Xiaotian and said to his back: "Thank you!"
Cheng Xiaotian was silent, watching the two huge ships sail in front of him, and after a long time, he turned his head back, looking a little sullen, and said, "Let's go, go to Kalimdo."
"Whoa!" The necromancer replied, and he stepped on his bicycle with all his might, and for the first time in so many days, he was quite excited.
The boat turned slightly and continued to drive westward, the speed slowly increased, and everyone's spirits gradually improved, and they began to talk and laugh, and when they saw Cheng Xiaotian, their eyes showed a touch of respect.
"My lord, can I talk to you?" Cheng Xiaotian was sitting on the bow of the boat in a trance, the little minotaur came over, Cheng Xiaotian nodded and sat down and said.
Facing a touch of the remnant sun, two figures, one large and one small, sat down at the bow of the boat, like silhouettes.
"My name is Shellhoof." The young minotaur warrior introduced himself first, and then said, "I think, you must be a big man, not an ordinary adventurer, can you ask what you are going to do in Kalimdor?"
Cheng Xiaotian hugged his knees, looked at the sun that was about to set, his face was plated with a layer of gold, and said: "I want to send a friend home, he lives in a barren land, by the Nushui River, a place called Xifenggang."
"That's all?" The Minotaur warrior was a little confused.
"Hmm." Cheng Xiaotian didn't say much, the two looked at the sun quietly and listened to the sound of "whooshing" water.

The Eastern Kingdom, after crossing the Sador Bridge south along the road from the Arathi Highlands, entered the wetlands.
The low-lying terrain leads to the sea, and the snowmelt from the Danmoro Daisetsuki Mountains pours down, soaking the place into a water town. The envoy's horse team could not go fast here at all, and it took nearly a month to cross the country. Came to the South Gate Trail and entered the territory of the Dwarves of Ironforge.
At the foot of the towering mountains, there is a dwarven barracks with 500 dwarven soldiers.
The envoys arrived at dusk, and when they entered the camp, they were greeted with great hospitality by the dwarves, who not only made room for them to be warm and comfortable, but also brought out the ale at the bottom of the box, and both sides drank until midnight before returning to their lodgings.
As soon as the lights went off, the barracks went dark. Only the southernmost separate barracks was still lit, and it was the room of Secluded and Isara.
"Lady Woo, are you worried about something?" Ishara asked as she made the bed.
Youyou was sitting at the table at this time, looking at a scroll spread out on the table and pondering, from time to time recording something with a pen. The scroll was written with the full text of "Condensing Qi Jue", and there was a hand-drawn picture of the human body next to it.
Hearing this, you put away the scroll, turned around and smiled: "There's nothing to worry about, I just have some memories of the lord, and I don't know where he is now."
Hearing this, Ishara stopped what she was doing. walked to the table and sat down, holding his cheeks and worrying, and sighed: "The old viscount was like this at the beginning, he always liked to run outside alone. It doesn't matter how anxious the family is, it's a bad tradition! โ
Yu Youyan's eyes lit up and asked, "I heard that the old viscount met his wife during his journey. And then in love? โ
This sentence brought back a long memory for Isara, her eyes began to become hazy, and after a while, she said, "It is true. A young handsome boy who is not afraid of hardships will always easily impress the hearts of girls......"
Bang Bang Bang.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the two ladies glanced at each other, it was so late, who would come to visit?
"Come in." Ishara shouted.
Hearing this, the door of the room was pushed open, and the local dwarven chief stood at the door, his expression a little embarrassed, and he muttered, "I'm sorry to disturb the two ladies, but there is one person who wants to see you."
With that, the dwarven chief took a step sideways, letting the humans standing behind him. The man was wrapped in a black robe, not moving at all, as if he had blended into the shadows, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't sense his presence at all.
"Who is Your Excellency? What's the point of visiting late at night? Yu Yu asked with a straight posture.
Hearing this, the black-robed man stepped into the room, raised his hand and lifted the hood, revealing a thin and beautiful female face. She smiled, "Under Stephanie Shore, part of MI7 in Stormwind, assigned to lead the way for your army, and has some important matters that need to be interviewed with Lord Viscount."
His face did not change, and he said lightly: "Thank you Lord Madias_ Shore for your hospitality, there is Ms. Lao, but Lord Viscount is sick, I am afraid that it is not suitable for the time being."
"Oh?" Stephanie Shore laughed. "I can wait, Lady Gloom, and I'll be on my way tomorrow morning."
With that, Stephanie exited the room, bowed and closed the door.
Early the next morning, before the mist had lifted, the Arathi Basin envoys had assembled and were ready to go.
"Get out!"
Dorian, the deputy head of the Knights of the Fallen Star, raised his hand and shouted, and slowly drove out of the camp as the Knights rode one after another. The Order was followed by the Legation Officers, with Ishara in the center, Shadow on the left, Stephanie on the right, and the remaining two legions, as well as the baggage convoy.
Behind the camp is the towering Kazmodan Mountains, at the foot of which there is a deep tunnel that leads to the South Gate Trail. The trail winds through the mountains and is connected by dozens of tunnels, covering a distance of about 200 kilometres.
Each of these tunnels is more than a kilometre long, passes through the entire mountain, is 10 metres high, and has a smooth and flat interior. Such a huge project can only be completed by dwarves with courage and ability.
The Dwarves are a race of people who dig into the mountains and dig for treasures buried deep in the mountains, and their prospecting, smelting, and casting skills are unmatched by any other race. They were not only the greatest architects, but also the most skilled blacksmiths.
"Miss Stephanie." Walking through the tunnel, he was a little dull, and asked Youyou, "You have the same surname as the chief of MI7 in Stormwind City, Madias Shore, I don't know your relationship......
Stephanie giggled and said, "I'm an orphan, and adults are my adoptive father, so I took the surname Shore, as for my original name...... Maybe not at all. โ
With an embarrassed "oh", he stopped talking, and only the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the tunnel.
Another week has passed like this, and the journey of the envoy group is still calm, and Cheng Xiaotian at this time ......
The boring coastal wandering is finally coming to an end, and the coastline of Kalimdor can be seen in the distance, which excites adventurers. After a whole month, the same sea view has long been tired of seeing, and everyone now just wants to go ashore as soon as possible, find a tavern to enjoy, and then sleep beautifully in a bed that will not shake.
People, after all, are land animals.
However, they can't go ashore yet, because this is the orc kingdom of Durotar, which can be seen from the red land on the coastline. In fact, Durontal was originally their destination, but there were three Cheng Xiaotian on board, and the destination of going ashore could only be pushed south, and it was still placed in the goblin harbor - Ratchet City.
After three more days of driving south along the coast, the coastline suddenly retracts inward, and a sprawling harbor city emerges in front of you, with all-wooden buildings in the typical tropical goblin style. The town is shaped around the bay in the shape of a crescent, and at either end of the "crescent" are two huge docks, where countless people are loading and unloading goods, and it is a busy scene.
Ratchet City, it's finally here.
"Russell, I heard that there are special services in Ratchet City, isn't that so?" The undead thief gathered around the giant mage in the group and asked in a low voice.
Dumbfounded, the giant mage Russell swallowed his spit and replied, "That's true, it's still exotic, but ...... What do you forsaken needs? โ
The warlock snickered and whispered, "It's okay to take a look."
The giant mage shuddered, and the undead thief who had been eavesdropping on the sidelines had a disdainful face, "Shame on this person!" โ
Just as there was a lot of noise, there was a sudden shouting from behind, and the adventurers looked back to see a streamlined boat speeding after them, with a goblin standing on the bow.
"Stop the boat, get inspected and taxed!" (To be continued.) )
