Along the way, the small Minotaur caravan that Old Tang was in followed the Golden Road, passed through the Velociraptor Plain, passed through the Staplewater Oasis Supply Station, and crossed the barren wasteland without hurry. Now, the caravan has finally arrived in Ratchet City, the goblins' trading town in Kalimdor.

Due to the large number of goods, the caravan did not move quickly, and it took nearly a week to cross the barren land. In the past nearly a week, Old Tang has been devastated.

Kenna Prairie Wind, the mouth of this chattering minotaur girl, has basically not been idle along the way.

One by one, like "Brother Goode, what kind of girl do you like?" "Brother Goode, you and Anak Terror Totem are both brothers, why are your personalities so bad?" "Brother Goode, Grudiger Darkcloud and who are so cold? Will he laugh? "Brother Goode, is this Harpy your girlfriend?" And so on, endless gossip questions were thrown out one after another, making the old Tang who did not frown his brows when he challenged the strong enemy broke out in a cold sweat.

And those old Tang's past achievements, even the old Tang himself has forgotten a little, but in Kenna's case, everything is very detailed, and it is played in a loop one after another, saying that Old Tang's head is swollen and his temples are protruding.

This minotaur girl with big cute eyes is not only "terrifying" herself, but even her mount is a restless master. This petite female with gray-white skin rode a Kodomon, only three-fifths the size of a brute horn, but she bullied the always fierce and powerful brute horn to death.

Along the way, most of the food that Old Tang personally prepared for the brute horn went into the belly of the little guy. And the brute horn, who has always protected food, surprisingly did not resist fiercely. Whenever his food was divided, the brute horn was at best a few demonstrative calls to express his unwillingness, and then turned his head and looked at Old Tang pitifully. The angry old Tang was spineless, and when he saw the opposite sex, he became a soft bone.

A week flew by in a hurry in the cold sweat of Old Tang and the chatter of Kenna Prairie wind. Now that he has finally arrived at his destination, Ratchet City, Tang, who has experienced "fatigue bombing" along the way, finally breathes a sigh of relief. Now that you have arrived in Ratchet City, as long as you find the ship heading east, you can start your journey to the Eastern Kingdom, and you will soon be able to get rid of the verbal offensive of small chatter. Thinking of this, Lao Tang's spirits perked up, and his face, which had been tense, finally had a smile.

Old Tang pulled the reins of the barbarian horn, hurried a few steps to the front of the caravan and explained a few words to several people in charge of the caravel, and then led the team into the goblin commercial town in front of him - Ratchet City.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line of Ratchet City――――――――――――――――――――――

Ratchet City is a port town under the administration of the Goblin Trade Prince, with a predominantly goblin population. As a neutral city, members of all races are welcome here. Ratchet City is a city built on trade and profits, which may or may not be legal, but one thing in common is that it offers great business opportunities for merchants.

Working with its trading allies in Treasure Bay, who are also hot sand companies, Ratchet City earns a huge difference by importing goods from Azeroth and exporting them from Kalimdor. And the high profits brought by such a trading relationship make both sides of the trade very profitable.

And for those adventurers who want to make money, Ratchet City also has plenty of opportunities. Whether it's collecting animal skins or resources for goblin traders; or to serve as a guard and protection for caravans crossing the barren lands; Even providing all kinds of stolen goods or rare materials of unknown origin to the black market in Ratchet City is a good way to make money. Of course, the premise is that you have the strength to earn commissions and the life to enjoy the comfortable life brought by gold coins.

Gazruvi, a shrewd and greedy male goblin, is the manager of this bustling commercial city. Under his command, a powerful security force composed entirely of goblins guards the city, coordinating relations between all races in the port city and guaranteeing limited peace within the city.

Know that as a neutral city that does not restrict the entry of any intelligent race, countless adventurers, merchants, or travelers from all different races will appear here - resting, trading, or begging for a living. Even if you are a demon of the Burning Legion, as long as you follow the rules of the goblins and can bring benefits to these greedy creatures, you will be a guest in the city.

But you can't expect the High Elves and Trolls to sit in the same stall and talk about life; You can't expect the Minotaur and the Centaur to show up in the same tavern and have a good drink. For those who have a deep hatred, meeting is not fighting to the death is to see the undead.

And for those adventurers who are full of energy and have a grudge against each other, the best way to restrain them from causing trouble is to use shiny coins to lure them with one hand, and to deter and intimidate them with strong force with the other.

Therefore, in order to ensure the long-term stability of this port, which can bring huge profits to the goblins, a security force with good combat effectiveness is indispensable. That's how the Ratchet City Security Guard came into being.

In Ratchet City, restraint must be exercised, no matter how much hatred there is. It is forbidden to draw swords and resort to force. If you dare to do it and violate the rules here, then what awaits you is definitely bullets and grenades from the goblin "chengguan". If you do break into the big basket, it's not impossible to send a few goblin rippers to surround you.

It has to be said that the goblins can be called the most business-minded native race of Azeroth. Not only are they amazed by their whimsical ideas on how to make money, but their mature business management mechanisms and keen sense of business opportunities are definitely the best in Azeroth. In Old Tang's impression, I'm afraid that only those ethereal spirit merchants who shuttle between different planes can fight with them.

"Ahh Another batch of potential customers! A sharp and ugly voice reached the ears of Old Tang and the others.

Old Tang and the caravan had just walked down the hillside into the outskirts of Ratchet City when a goblin tax collector greeted them. The goblin tax collector, dressed as a bookkeeper, accompanied by several members of the Ratchet City Guard, stepped forward to stop the caravan and pay the commercial tax for the goods entering the city.

Not far away, two goblin rippers, half a head taller than Old Tang and shaped like a man, were patrolling back and forth. The arm-thick exhaust pipe is not spewing out jet black exhaust fumes. At the end of the left arm of the machine, a hideous chainsaw kept turning, looking very intimidating.

The commercial tax was not much, even on the scale of a minotaur caravan, it was only two and a half gold coins. In the process of tax collection, there has not been any old-fashioned drama such as bullying others and making things difficult. Goblins who have an amazing talent for commercial trade will naturally not do everything they can to fish and offend their customers for a little profit.

Before the release, the goblin tax collector, who was only as high as the thigh of Old Tang, learned that it was the first time for everyone to come to Ratchet City, and he also handed out a booklet to each caravan member. On the cover of the booklet, there are two rows of large characters written in the continental lingua franca: "Ratchet City Management Regulations" and "Ratchet City Life Guide".

Without making a single moth, Old Tang and his party smoothly entered the central area of Ratchet City. As soon as you walk into the trade area of Ratchet City, a chaotic but lively hustle and bustle will come to your face.

On both sides of the street, dozens of large and small goods are neatly arranged in two rows. Huge signboards with different shapes and strange styles are hugged one after another, but they are particularly eye-catching. Many of the larger shops even use mechanical loudspeakers to advertise and sell to merchants, travelers, and adventurers on the streets. In just a few minutes, Lao Tang had already easily distinguished the main products of each store.

Fur shops, blacksmiths, taverns, herbaries, and so on are not uncommon; Engineering supply stores, jewelry shops and so on are not rare; Don even observes an enchanted equipment shop run by the High Elves and a voodoo trinket shop run by trolls

Xiao Nizi, the eagle-manned man in front of Old Tang, was almost dazzled by the lively scene here. Xiao Nizi, who was held in Lao Tang's arms, looked around with a pair of smart big eyes, almost breaking her neck, and shouting from time to time, attracting many people to stop and watch.

Riding on the petite riding Kodomon, the chatter shaman Kenna * Prairie Wind should also be the first time to see so many races, the first time to see these various storefronts. The crackling mouth along the way, which kept talking, was also wide open because of surprise at the moment, and it could swallow two eggs.

The rest of the caravan and convoy were mostly similar. This was the first time that a minotaur caravan had come to Ratchet City to trade with Mogore, after migrating from the Bleak Lands to Mogore. Faced with the bustling scene in front of them and all kinds of other Azeroth races, except for Old Tang, the crossing man, the rest of the people couldn't help but be amazed.

After a while, everyone gradually got used to the prosperity of Ratchet City, and after simply browsing around the lively streets, a dozen merchants in the caravan said hello to Old Tang, and led their men to scatter around with the Kodo beasts carrying their own goods, looking for buyers and shops to buy for their goods.

The small group of strong men who served as guards sent out two as liaisons, and the rest, including the chatter shaman, followed Old Tang to find inns and taverns in the bustling Ratchet City, ready for the night's stay.

――――――――――――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line of the hotel――――――――――――――――――――――――

After walking around the bustling streets several times, Lao Tang and his party found a small inn with a sign of "Vacant Room" hanging at the door. The area of the hotel is not large, but the façade and building height are not small. This inn called Sailor's House is not eye-catching from the outside, but it is very unique inside.

It was probably built with the large size of the race in mind, and the first floor of the three-story building was indeed built quite tall and wide. With a ceiling more than three meters high from the ground, he doesn't have to worry about hitting his head with the size of Old Tang.

The shopkeeper is an old male goblin with gray hair but a lot of agility. As soon as he saw Lao Tang and other strong men walking into the door, he rushed out from behind the counter, jumped onto a wine table in front of Lao Tang, raised his head and asked:

"Aha, you're new here, do you need anything? I have a clear price here, and there is no bullying for children! ”

"How many rooms are available? We have to live in more than 40 people, can we afford it? "The past few days of eating and sleeping in the open have made Old Tang a little tired. Hearing the boss's inquiry, he directly reported his own needs.

"You're lucky, a group of trolls just checked out and left my hotel. The room that the big fanged guys poured out just hadn't been booked out yet. More than forty people? Ha ha! Another good deal! ”

"Double room, room rate twenty-three silver coins per room! Hot water supply at night! You can also see the sea view of the marina! Absolutely cost-effective! Add 7 silver coins to each room and enjoy a hearty zebra meat feast! Even you minotaurs can eat to your heart's content! If you pay an extra five silver coins, you can drink a pot of strong rum! You can inquire in Ratchet City, the reputation of my old Bobby and the sailor's house, in this area, it's top-notch! ”

This innkeeper named Old Bobby is definitely a good salesman, and after a recommendation, he quickly impressed Old Tang. Old Tang took out twenty gold coins from the magic backpack on his waist, handed them to the gray-haired but agile goblin boss, and commanded

"Let's open twenty-four rooms, and each room will serve the zebra meat feast and rum you mentioned. These are deposits, and I'm not sure how many days I'm going to stay, not enough to tell me again! Arrange it! ”

The innkeeper, who was called Old Bobby, gritted his teeth one by one, and after shaking his hands to make sure that it was a genuine product, he replied loudly: "Aha, you are such a generous leader, your companion will definitely praise you!" ”

After that, he turned around and yelled at a few goblin waiters in the corner of the hall, "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you clean up your room and show the way for the guests! Do you want to be deducted from your salary for this month? A bunch of slackers! Get moving! Don't force me to do your ass! ”

Ignoring the innkeeper's shouting, Old Tang turned to the strong men behind him and said:

"Let's go to the room and rest for a while, finish dinner, and have your own free time!" With that, he took the hand of the eagle-man Xiao Nizi and followed a goblin waiter to his room.

Behind Old Tang, a group of strong men with minotaurs crying wolf howls suddenly burst into cheers.

Tonight is going to be a fantastic night for these minotaur hunks!

Ratchet City never sleeps at night~~~!
