Volume I: The End of the Outlaw 139
Taverns have not been an elegant place since ancient times, and no matter how high-end the decoration, they are often the place where they contribute to more shady deeds than those that are only accessible to the common people.
And here, obviously, is not a high-end clubhouse.
Nearly twenty or thirty brothers occupied a corner of the tavern hall, and as they watched them drink, sing, and gamble merrily, I suddenly remembered the despicable deeds they might have done before. In fact, I don't know what most people have done before.
"It's all your brothers?" The bartender recognized me as a big customer from a foreign country.
"Hmm." I answered.
"Where are you from?"
"Lordaeron." I lied.
"Ahh Lordaeron! His tone seemed a little surprised. It's really not very common for Lordaeron people to come here. ”
"It's a long way off, and Lordaeron doesn't seem to have a well-located port."
"In all these years, you are the second group of Lordaerons I have ever seen or heard of coming by boat."
"What about the first batch?" I turned my eyes to him.
"Yes...... A few years ago? Ah, I can't remember, it seems to be...... Well, there was an archbishop from the north at that time. Ha! There is also a cheating captain. "The bartender remembers this very well.
"Hmph." I snorted, and I just felt my face burn.
"But I have to say that the women of Kul Tiras are very enthusiastic and unrestrained, and they are as gentle as the waves, and you can feel the continuous comfort of swimming in the waves." The bartender raised a finger and pointed at it, smiling at me.
I laughed, "The cheating captain seems to be attracted by the unrestrained and gentle nature that is unique to you, and the kind of continuity you are talking about. ”
"All outsiders will be full of praise, and of course, with an extra fifty copper plates, you can enjoy a kind of ice storm that can only be found in Kul Tiras." He raised his lips and clicked his teeth.
"You best...... Well, that's not a question for you. I interrupted abruptly.
"It's already in the top three in Bullarles! You will be satisfied. ”
He was relentless in his sales.
"Who are those two?" I stared at him with a smile.
There was an instant of indescribable embarrassment on his face.
"One of my subordinates, one of his great pursuits is to communicate deeply with different women, to achieve the integration of mind and body to improve his life experience. However, he sometimes makes mistakes, so I need to know where to find him other than you. ”
The bartender raised an eyebrow, "This subordinate of yours must be in excellent health." He said with a sigh of relief. Ashvan Trading Company, there is a sheep hotel. There is also one in Mariner Street, all know. ”
"Thank you." As I spoke, I pressed my fingertips on the table and flicked a silver coin over it.
He smiled instantly. "Of course, each has its own characteristics. But why is this tavern called Snuggling Harbor? It's a window for business travelers from all over the world to get to know Kurtilas, so rest assured. ”
"I come and feel the snuggling waves when I need to. Where is Mariner Street? I asked.
"Walk all the way down the pier dam, to the south, it's easy to find." He said.
"Are there sailors there?"
"Hah! Of course...... Well, of course there is, but the sailors there are not very high-quality, and the sailors here at Huifan Pier are the best in the kingdom. He seemed to be boasting again.
"Are there privateers here?" I lowered my voice and slowly spat out the words.
Coming out of the tavern, I returned to the boat. It's not that the snuggling waves aren't enough waves, it's not that the tavern mead isn't fragrant enough. I...... He's a man who wants to do great things! That's what I told myself.
The guards patrolling the docks walked slowly on horseback, but it seemed to be a formality. Oil lamps hung on every ship, and the light of the lights could not illuminate the dark docks.
The deck was empty, and the door of the cabin was dimly lit. I stood still in the doorway for a moment, and there seemed to be no movement inside, but when I pushed the door open, the man in the doorway was pointing his sword at me.
I was stunned for a moment, and he was stunned too. Then he quickly put his sword away.
"You...... Duty? I asked.
"It's not." He said.
"Why don't you go out and play?" I stood in front of him and looked at him.
"Not interested." He spat out the words.
In my impression, this guy has always been silent, and every time he speaks, he cherishes words like gold.
"In a few days, I won't have a chance to enjoy this tranquility." I say.
"Then let's get started." He said. This guy named Gage doesn't seem to laugh, I've never seen him laugh.
"What about the people on duty?"
"Drink with them on the lower floors." He said.
I patted him on the shoulder and handed over the wine bag I was carrying.
"I don't drink." He didn't reach out to take it, just a very bland shirk.
"Don't drink? Ha! I laughed. You're a bandit, Gage. There are no bandits who don't drink. ”
"I'm on duty." He said.
"It's okay! I allow. His answer was satisfying.
"Rules are rules." His eyes made me feel embarrassed for a moment.
I nodded and looked at him with a smile. "You're right!" With that, I hung the wine bag on the wall.
"How old are you? Gage. I asked curiously.
"Twenty-three." He said.
"How long have you been in this business?" I asked.
"Seven years." He said.
I nodded. "Because of what?"
"Poverty." He said lightly.
"Are you from Alterac?"
"No, I'm from Gilneis." He looked at me.
"Gilneth people...... I've been to Gilneth. A few years ago. I looked at him as I spoke, and there was not the slightest wave in his eyes.
"How did you meet Ralph?"
"A few years ago, I joined a big group on my team," he says. He said.
"You participated in the Hillsbrad massacre?" I stared into his eyes.
He didn't look at me, he just said flatly, "Yes." ”
"Where did you go after that?"
"We hid in the mountains, and then we were surrounded and suppressed." He said. "The people of Alterac are not to be trusted." As he spoke, he turned his eyes to me, and his eyes became sharp.
"Tell me about your siege."
He looked me in the eye for two seconds. These two seconds made his eyes a little puzzled.
"Hmm." I say.
"What do you want to know?" He said.
"I'm not from Alterac." I said.
"Ralph is a good guy!" He suddenly said this.
"Of course I know he's a good guy." I can't guess what this guy is trying to say.
"We have been betrayed!" He said. "Facurrest! That guy! He's the culprit! It was he, the villain, who betrayed us! ”
"How do you know it's Facurest?"
"Or else? He has a guy named Gannis, who is Facurrest's men! We all listened to him. ”
"So you think it was Facurrest who abandoned you after using you, right?"
He looked at me and didn't speak. Didn't speak...... It should be the default.
"Do you know who I am?" I asked him.
"I don't care." He said.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Didn't you take us with you?" He still had a faint expression, a faint tone.
"Hmm." I hesitated, and then said, "The first time you went out with them to rob them, are you worried?" ”
"I'm hungry." He said.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"I'm going to die if I don't eat."
"And now?"
"What about you?" He asked me rhetorically.
"Of course I'm afraid of death." I say.
His eyes changed, a little surprised.
"I still have a lot of work to do, and ...... An unimaginable future. I smiled. An unimaginable future! I nodded.
He didn't speak, and there was still no expression on his face.
I didn't continue to talk to him, I'm still a little satisfied with this guy, although somehow, there is some inexplicable worry haunting my heart, but it's still good overall!
Climbing to the top of Lawrence's favorite mast, I looked out over the city, and the scenes of the past came back to mind. I don't know what's going on, but the problem of liking memories is back. I don't know what I'm thinking or nothing at all, maybe I'm just looking forward to it, waiting for the future that is still unknown.
Some sailors won't be coming back tonight, they can't be called sailors, they're landlubbers, most of them are landlubbers. They are hyenas on the road, just on land. Tomorrow, I'm looking for more, more sailors, guys who can be used not only at sea, but also on land.
Ralph doesn't know where to go tonight, it doesn't matter...... Soon, maybe half a month or so? It shouldn't be any longer! I'm going back to the kingdom of Stormwind, where I've been away for a long time!
There should be a hot war going on there! I will face the Kuroshio, which is even more terrifying than the current world. The breeze was gentle, and the salty sea breeze was unexpectedly warm. Now everything is quiet...... This kind of question of knowing the answer in advance baffles me even more.
The next day, I couldn't sleep well in a different place, so I woke up early. The sun had not yet risen in the morning, and the sea breeze of last night had already taken away that bit of warmth and replaced it with a burst of coolness.
After inspecting the cabin and Isden's room, I walked along the dock dam for a long time, and a large bustling bazaar appeared in front of me.
Catching the morning market is probably something that all seniors like to do, and I wandered through the crowds and felt the local customs. Fruits, plants, snacks and strange fish that you have never seen before.
Suddenly, I felt my waist loosen, and I grabbed the clothes around my waist with my hand, and bowed my head suddenly! A hand flashed, and a thin figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.
If it weren't for my quick reaction, the small pocket around my waist would probably be gone. Hum...... Thief. After calming down a bit, I continued to walk into the market.
I hadn't taken a few steps when I suddenly felt someone on my right hand touch my clothes. But at this moment, when I tilted my head slightly, I thought badly! Touch the left! Still lost!
I was angry in an instant!
The local gangs are so rude!
As soon as I raised my eyes, I looked through the gaps in the crowd on the street, looking for pickpockets in the crowd.
See! A little kid!
If it's an ordinary person, it's estimated that you won't be able to catch it back with the money! But now it's me!
As soon as I turned around, I reached out and pushed away the two people in front of me, twisted left and right, and chased after the child. The kid went into an alley. I chased straight in!
He runs in front and I chase behind. He should have found me. Such a kid as a pickpocket! I swear I'll kick him in the ass!
This kid is very agile and very fast at digging into dog holes. But behind him is me! When he realized that he couldn't shake me off, he looked back at me and turned into the alley next to him.
I picked up speed and chased after him, I wasn't going to play with him, I felt like I had run a long way out, and the surrounding architecture had noticeably changed a lot, and the dry and hard streets had turned into slippery and muddy alleys.
A sense of foreboding welled up in my heart.
