Chapter 21: News
The new docklands have begun to take shape with the Storm Refugees, female gnolls, and fishmen as the main force, but everyone knows that they are going back to the Storm Kingdom, so they are working extra hard, and they will spend the last time here to complete a city on the water. During their time in Jasper Territory, they have come to regard this place as their second home, and many residents are struggling with whether to follow the fleet back to their peaceful hometown.
After all, there is no opportunity for his children to become professionals as fairly as the children of lords and nobles in his hometown, and there is no such novel and warm urban entertainment, no bright electric lights, no lively nights, no convenient and cheap public transportation, and no convenient engineering tools.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity. When they get used to a more convenient and comfortable life, and think about their previous lives, most of them have a sense of trance like a dream, and they are in a dilemma. However, Brad didn't want to misunderstand Varian for some refugees, so he asked Morgana to start the relocation work. And he was ready to provide a number of convenient tools, and some engineering talents, which made Varian very impressed.
The docklands are taking shape rapidly, and some of the older buildings have begun to be renovated. Brad stood on a high platform and looked at the hot dock area, a little entangled in his heart, or the problem of financial resources. The construction of the dockland alone almost hollowed out the finances of the Jasper Collar, and the subsequent renovation cost many times more than the construction. Items from all races need to be bought, and the High Elves are fine, but many things from Kalimdor, such as Night and Bullhead, are a lot of expenses just to ship them back.
Now I can only hope that my trip to Kalimdor will establish a stronghold there. Even if it is a village, so that the warehouses on both sides can be connected, and if you work hard, you can move the materials on both sides instantly. In this way, Kalimdor's specialties can quickly appear in Lordaeron. It is also a considerable source of income. The other thing is that Brad is going to a huge auction house in Kalimdor to pre-sell a number of warehouses and houses in the docklands. In a world like Azeroth, where there is never a shortage of land, there has never been such a model, and Brad will definitely succeed if he doesn't do it, and he will be busy working as a horse doctor.
The Golden Tooth is no longer what it used to be, and its strength has changed dramatically after drinking the blood of the black dragon to open the power of the bloodline. The dragon scales on his body became stronger and finer, and his eyes became shining, and the cowardice in his eyes had disappeared. But he was more respectful to Brad than ever.
"The hosts. Kalimdor has news. ”
Brad's body shook, and there was a premonition in his heart that he didn't want to have the gold tooth so slumped. It's definitely not good news, otherwise she would have come to ask for credit a long time ago.
"Tell me, what's the news."
"That's right." Goldtooth glanced cautiously at Brad's face before continuing, "There is news for both Skakill's fleet and Kogar's fleet. ”
Brad nodded, though he had lost contact with them. But the reason why he is so calm is that he can feel that the few people who signed the contract with him are intact. Skakill is ordered by Brad to escort Fangs and lead the centaur tribal meeting Kalimdor to take over the two oases. Because of the hatred of Lordaeron and the tribes. After Brad's victory at the Battle of Lordaeron, he surrendered to the ogre Jean Kogar and led him to Kalimdor along with the Raven who was the first to surrender.
Although Kalimdor is changing now, there are still many areas in a vacuum, and now it can occupy many good places in the past.
Seeing that the gold tooth was still secretive, Brad frowned and said: "Hurry up and say what's going on, don't give me ink, even if something happens, it's not your fault, what are you worried about?" ”
"Thank you for the magnanimity of the master," is what Golden Tooth wanted
Golden Fang didn't dare to look at Brad's face, and hurriedly said, "Captain Skakill has landed in Kalimdor without any problems. However, Lord Fangs was attacked by a succession of adventurers shortly after taking over the two oases, and later various accidents occurred. Then it was attacked by countless mercenaries and adventurers, and Lord Fangs was outnumbered and had to temporarily withdraw from the oasis, and now the two oases are no longer under our control. ”
Brad tapped his cane lightly and asked lightly: "It's really amazing, the oasis was fine when we didn't receive it, but there was a problem as soon as we took over, although the Brilliant Guild was domineering, it was not so stingy." The most powerful people in today's barren land are the boar people and the goblins of Thorntooth City, and the boar people don't have much ambition and no such strategy. The adventurers did not dare to challenge the authority of the natives, so now the two oases must be in the hands of the goblins. ”
Golden Tooth hurriedly responded: "Master is wise, it is indeed so. The two oases seem to be in the hands of the adventurers, but after Fang's investigation, it is indeed the goblins of Thorntooth City who planned the plot. ”
"Goblins!" Brad raised his eyebrows and said with disdain: "The humble trash really only knows some small tricks, but I can know that we robbed their fleet, and they are a little clever, and they are not stupid." So what's going on with Kogar, can't it be that goblins are also ghosts. ”
"This isn't a goblin, it should have been an accident." Skakiel hurriedly said: "Kogar led the fleet to be attacked by the Blackwater pirates when they approached the dusty swamp of Kalim, and the return of Skakir was to respond, but due to the large number of Blackwater pirates, and the ogres were not good at naval warfare at all, the warships lost a lot, although they successfully landed, but the fleet was trapped in a port and did not dare to leave the port. ”
Brad looked at Golden Fang calmly, his heart was full of disappointment, although Golden Fang was shrewd, but they were all clever, not suitable for intelligence work at all, since the orcs who originally belonged to the Shadow Council formed the new Jade Collar Shadow, Brad believed that the Jade Collar Shadow has become a more powerful assassin and intelligence organization than MI7, but it is such a powerful organization, but it cannot play its due role under the leadership of Golden Fang. It's not as good as MI7, which was devastated in the orc war, which really disappointed Brad.
But the current situation is that Jasper Collar simply does not have the right talent. And the only one who has the ability to control it well and play its role is the black dragon princess, and he really doesn't dare to hand over his shadow to such a dangerous person.
Golden Tooth was stared at by Brad's faint and unwavering gaze, he had done his best, but it seemed that something was still wrong, he quickly knelt on the ground, and said with panic: "Master, Golden Tooth is guilty, please punish the master." ”
"Oh?" Brad replied and said unhappily: "You are guilty, what crime do you know?" ”
"I, I'm ......," said Golden Tooth, who was so terrified in his heart that his whole head was on the ground.
"Why should the lord be angry, I have some experience with the intelligence organization, if the lord allows it, I can discuss the experience with His Excellency the Golden Fang." Onexia, who had been standing behind Brad like a shadow, suddenly spoke.
"Remember, if you don't have anything to do, please ask Her Excellency Katrana for advice." Brad sighed and said: "The Blackwater Pirates are the force behind the Goblin Hot Sand Group, this time it's not an accident, I don't care about it for the sake of you just taking over the shadow, but I don't want to have a next time, otherwise, you can continue to go back to the mine and continue to be an overseer, I think you are the best at this." ”
"I understand, I understand, and I will never make the same mistake in the future." Golden Fang was about to pee when he heard that he had returned to the mine as an overseer, as the leader of the shadow, he was deeply aware of the power of the shadow and its importance to Brad, and now he was standing at the core of the Jasper Collar and was also Brad's absolute henchman. Now he has a leisurely life with fine clothes and fine food, and he has been happy for a long time since he was able to drink inferior beer two years ago. The old days were unbearable compared to the present, and when I returned to the mine as an overseer, what a joke, it was just a small foreman, and compared to the current position, it was a difference between cloud and mud.
He secretly made up his mind that he must consult Onexia when he went back. Because the black dragon blood had greatly increased his strength last time, he was already very grateful in his heart, and he didn't mind forming a political alliance with Katlana.
"Get up." Brad turned around and said, "If there's anything else, let's talk about it together." ”
Golden Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, Lord Kogar asked me to tell my master that I will definitely complete the task assigned by my master. And the news came that he had seized some ships belonging to Guldan, but Gul'dan was missing. It is said that Gul'dan used a magic circle to summon a tomb from the bottom of the sea, which was filled with endless demons, and Gul'dan was supposed to have been killed by the demons. ”
"Well, I got it." Brad's result is not surprising, although history has changed, but Gul'dan still went to find the tomb of Sargeras after becoming a death knight, then he also can't escape the shackles of fate in the previous life, but Brad is not sure whether the new head of Gul'dan in this life will become a new magician. After all, the skull of Gul'dan in his hands now is far less powerful than in the previous life, and the reason for this should be the influence of the tomb of Sargeras.
The skull in his hand had grown a lot after absorbing the power of the Dark Gate, but it was still not as powerful as the legend. You must know that Illidan can actually fight against Arthas, who has the sorrow of frost, with the power of absorbing Guldan's skull, which shows how powerful it is.
"My lord, there are several goblin merchants who have asked to see you." A knight named Thunderhawk jumped down from not far away and saluted Brad.
Bryde's eyes flickered, and he grabbed his cane and said, "They still dare to come to the Jasper Collar, it's really a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die." ”…… (To be continued......)
