Chapter 46: News
The rooms are not too big, but they are spacious enough. Judging from Old Tang's figure, he won't feel crowded and aggrieved.
Perhaps because the last wave of troll occupants had just left, the room still smelled of sweat that belonged to trolls. As a race with super recovery ability, trolls have an extremely fast metabolism and extremely developed sweat glands. Even if you stand still, your work will be a stinky sweat for a while.
The waiter at the inn was quite diligent. Although there is still a smell in the room, the room is very clean. A few finished prairie prowler furs, carpeted on the floor and lion's head with a fluffy mane, rushed toward the entrance to the room. On the fluffy bed, the futon made of demonic cloth was washed white, and a fragrance from the soap powder of the tranquility flower constantly neutralized the residual smell of sweat that drove away the troll residents.
Old Tang, who dragged the harpy Xiao Nizi back to the room, pushed open the window facing the dock of Ratchet City, ventilated it, and then threw himself on the big bed, lazy and unwilling to move more.
The eagle-clad Xiao Nizi didn't seem to have recovered from the busy traffic in Ratchet City, and she didn't stop chattering to Old Tang for a moment. I can't help but sigh at the prosperity and liveliness of Ratchet City, as well as those races that have rarely been seen or never seen before, also make the Harpy Nizi full of freshness and curiosity.
The sleepy old Tang was chattered for a long time, and finally couldn't help but pull Xiao Nizi to his side and lie down, cover his mouth and cover the quilt. Old Tang hugged Xiao Nizi from behind, changed to a more comfortable position, and spit out two words in a low voice:
"Sleep!"
――――――――――――――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line of the night――――――――――――――――――――――
Old Tang had a good night's sleep with the Harpy Little Nizi in his arms, until it was dark, and the inn's goblin waiter knocked on the door of the room and delivered the scheduled dinner to Old Tang and the Harpy.
I have to say that the signature dish of this sailor's house hotel, the zebra meat feast, is really good~. The fragrant diced meat is poured with a mouth-watering secret sauce, which makes the eagle Nizi feast and praise. The amount of food is also sufficient, and Lao Tang and Xiao Nizi, the eagle-bodyed man, are two big stomachs, and they can eat to their heart's content. It really changed the bad impression of the old Tang that the goblins were profiteers.
After dinner, a group of minotaurs left the hotel in groups of three and threes to experience the nightlife of Ratchet City, a city that never sleeps. The chatter shaman Kenna * Prairie Wind coerced and lured two followers early to go to the central city for a tour. Originally, this minotaur girl wanted to take Lao Tang with her, but she had already been bombarded by her language, and she had no temper Lao Tang, so how could she throw herself into the net. casually made an excuse that he still had something to do, and Old Tang temporarily got out of the chatter shaman's regretful expression.
After Kenna Breeze left for a while, Don led the Harpy to the counter in the lobby and found the innkeeper Bobby, who wanted to find out the latest news.
If there is anyone who is the most well-informed of all kinds, apart from MI7, Ravenhold, and Syndicate, which are the most famous intelligence organizations in Azeroth, it is these people in hotels or taverns who deal with all kinds of people all day long.
"Boss, a dwarven spirit, a mead! Plus, give my Kodomon a zebra meat feast with a few carrots! "Old Tang ordered two glasses of wine, which was considered to add some favorability to the innkeeper.
"Ah, have a wonderful evening. It's arranged, and it's good right away! The innkeeper, old Bobby, the gray-haired old goblin with a mercenary smile, stood on tiptoe and removed two large wine bottles from the wine rack and began to pour them, while arranging for an innkeeper to take care of the brute.
"That's right, boss. What's new in the Eastern Kingdom lately? ”
Old Tang took a wooden wine glass, which was obviously specially prepared for the general physique race, poured a sip of the liquor fiercely, and then asked. And the eagle on the side, Xiao Nizi, also hugged a small cup with two paws, and after carefully tasting the mead, she immediately liked this sweet alcoholic drink.
"Aha, the Eastern Kingdom has been quite lively lately! The captured orcs don't seem to be resting lately. I heard that a group of orcs had escaped from the humans of Lordaeron and established a prisoner of war camp at Dunhold Castle in the Hills of Hillsbrad. The big, green-skinned men, who seemed to be led by a guy named Thor or Thrall, plunged headlong into the icy snow of the Alterac Valley. Oh my God, they must have been dizzy, otherwise how could they choose such a place to escape! That's terrible! ”
Hearing the words of the old goblin who seemed to complain, Old Tang was indeed full of excitement. As a crossing man, when he heard the news, he naturally thought of a legendary figure - Sal! The wisest and wisest chief of the future tribe, the leader who has received the respect and love of the tribe people, seems to have escaped from the cage where he had been imprisoned for twenty years and began to embark on his legendary life. If nothing else, the orcs will soon rekindle their fighting spirit and be free.
Don, the time-traveling man who lifted his butterfly wings in Kalimdor, has always been a little worried that what he did in Kalimdor would bring an uncertain future to Azeroth. If it is just because he has lost the advantage of "prophet", if he has brought any danger and impact to the world because of his appearance, or triggered any plot and history in advance, then Lao Tang has made an unforgivable mistake.
At that time, maybe if Lao Tang himself repents and redeems, the Bronze Dragon Legion led by Nuo Erye will invite him to "drink tea, chat, and talk about life ideals" or something, and then I am afraid that his fate will be bombarded to scum. If this is the case, Lao Tang, the crossing man, will die too aggrieved.
Now that he heard the innkeeper Bobbie Sr. about Thrall and the Orcs, Don finally put a somewhat uneasy heart back in his stomach. What happened in the Eastern Kingdom has already been matched with the timeline that Old Tang himself is familiar with, and it doesn't seem to be a moth. Old Tang, a "pseudo-prophet", can continue to be free.
"When will the next sea ship depart from Ratchet City by sea to the Eastern Kingdoms? How do we book a position? ”
Relaxed old Tang, no longer thinking about the memories of the Eastern Kingdom. Instead, he began to ask about the path to the Eastern Kingdoms.
"Are you adventurers? Want to find work in the Eastern Kingdoms? Hearing Old Tang's inquiry, the shrewd innkeeper asked about Old Tang's identity.
"Well, the adventurer is counted." Old Tang nodded and replied.
"Aha, the Eastern Kingdom is quite chaotic now, and for you adventurers, you don't have to worry about having nothing to do, and it's a good way to make money. Well, I think the last boat to go to Booty Bay would have been the Girl's Love. Well, it should be a week later. ”
"Aha, it just so happens that I'm an old friend of the first mate of the 'Maiden Love', and he often comes to my place for drinks. If necessary, I can introduce you to you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You can negotiate the price of the position yourself, but I have to charge half of the intermediary fee more, this is the rule! At this time, the position on the ship is very tight, it doesn't matter, but you can't book it! I also saw that you took care of my business, and you were quite generous to help. What do you think? Do you want to think about it? ”
Seeing Old Tang nodding and recognizing the identity of the adventurer. The elder Bobby began to take the initiative to introduce the way. For landlords like these innkeepers, providing a gateway to all kinds of people to earn intermediary fees is also a steady income. As a hotel named "Sailor's House", how could it not have dealings with sailors, crew members and even pirates who begged for a living at sea all year round?
Naturally, these people have their own network. took the initiative to match up for Lao Tang, but it was not unexpected by Lao Tang.
"Well, then I'll trouble you. Two people plus a position for a Kodomon. Money is not an issue, the conditions are better. ”
Most goblins are greedy, but they value their business reputation. In addition to taking advantage of some treaty loopholes, he disdains to be a liar and live by cheating. As long as you sign a contract to talk about business, be careful not to be pitted by language traps, and the rest is very reassuring. Therefore, for the innkeeper's hospitality, Old Tang didn't think that he would be deceived.
"Aha, that's it. I'll go find him tomorrow, and you'll talk to him in detail. Haha, another income coming in! Then you might as well stay with me for a week. I have a VIP ticket for the Ratchet City Locomotive Rally here~ As long as one gold coin, you can enjoy the VIP treatment, how about it? Do you want two? I'll give you a 9.9% discount! ”
Seeing that Old Tang agreed to his offer, Old Bobby, who was about to receive another income, was very happy, and lost no time in continuing to promote the advantages of his own hotel.
"Ratchet City Locomotive Rally?" Hearing an unknown term, Old Tang asked with some doubts.
"Ah, of course! Don't you know? Ratchet City's annual carnival! The most awaited day of the year for the residents of Ratchet City! A duel between a master engineer and a racer! How's that interesting? Isn't it exciting? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and join us! ”
The innkeeper Lao Bobby, who seemed surprised that Old Tang and the others did not know such a day full of leaks, shouted exaggeratedly.
"Ratchet City Locomotive Rally! Just the day after tomorrow! ”
