Volume 5 The Return of the King 33 The Wild West

Booty Cove is probably the first city to trade with humans and tribes, although the goblins had visited Lordan Lumbai to meet King Terenus a long time ago, but those were long gone. None of the humans here are from the Stormwind Kingdom, and the humans who deal with goblins aren't good people at all, they're not the Defia Brotherhood, they're a group of people known as the Bloodsail Pirates. This group of people plundered resources from the open sea and somewhere, and they would exchange them here.

The goblins don't care where these things come from, they don't care if it's stolen goods or not, and they don't refuse to come. Of course, the goblins are not stupid, they know that these people's things are not clean, so they often do not pay very high prices. The pirates either sold their stolen goods in the human world, or they chose this neutral point of sale. It is very risky to sell it in the human world, after all, I don't know when I will be targeted, but the goblins are different, they never peddle in the eastern continent.

In fact, human goods are very popular, and the orcs like it very much, but at first the orcs did not know how this came about. But as the trade became more and more frequent, the Bloodsail Pirates also knew what was going on, and they also understood that their goods were easy to sell, because in later times, there were even goblin dealers who directly came into contact with humans and asked for goods to be given to them, and as soon as they raised prices, this matter was leaked.

In fact, this kind of thing is a paper-wrapped fire, and it is impossible to hide it at all, and soon this matter was known to the leader of the Hidden Treasure Bay, the rich man Rivigaz. The consequences can be imagined, the two dealers were severely cracked down, and the entire treasure bay was silent in an instant.

But that's it? Absolutely not! Some of the nimble minds of the Bloodsail Pirates began to come into contact with the Orcs Minotaurs in private.

At first, the Blood Sail Pirates didn't want to stiffen the relationship, but in front of interests, in front of Huang Chengcheng's gold, there will always be people who can't hold back and want more, more, more.

So, the result is ...... In the end, I don't know why, the two sides got into trouble and fought. And on the other side of the ocean, there is a city that has taken the opportunity to become bigger, and the leader of that city is called Gazruvi, and that city is called Ratchet City.

The ships of Ratchet City crossed the ocean to Hidden Treasure Bay, and there were two bands of robbers on this golden route, the Bloody Sail Pirates, the South Sea Pirates were the largest, and there were more than a dozen small pirates who took advantage of the fire to rob, and they followed the soup when they ate meat.

Of course, this is all a later story, and it was relatively harmonious at the time. Because the Booty Bay boat didn't go to Stormwind or Minethil Harbor, I had to charter a boat to take me all the way north, so the price was really inhumane!

The goblins didn't know where the ship had gone, so they followed the coastline like this, and after a week of walking, they refused to go any further. Also, this coastal road is not seen by a person, there is no trace of human activity, and no one can say where it will go further north.

I offered a refund, but they didn't agree. I wanted to break them, but for the sake of their face, even if they admitted their mistake and offered to charge only half of the fee, I let them go. And I got off the boat, and I was too aggrieved on the boat.

In fact, I have already gone to the west at this time, but it is really not easy to find people in the western wilderness.

So I went north along the beach, convinced that there would always be people. But the beach is not very peaceful along the way, and the main thing is the fish people! I also wondered where there were so many fishmen!

Finally, after I had been walking for more than a day, I saw a lighthouse, and I was really happy when I saw it, but when I got closer, I found that the lighthouse had been abandoned.

The fish-men around the lighthouse have made a nest on the beach and made a home, and there are two shipwrecks near the lighthouse, if there are no fish-people, I will go underwater to see if I can find some treasures, but the fish-people make people's scalps tingle.

But in any case, since there is a lighthouse, there must be villages and houses nearby.

But the idea is very plump, the reality is very skinny, although there is a village here, but the village has been abandoned. And look at the ruins, this place has been abandoned for a long time.

But one thing is good, although this village is abandoned, I am sure that there will be a village not far away. But I was wrong again! There are no villages around here! I walked for a long time along the already somewhat illegible road and saw a town, a very large town, in one afternoon!

In the afterglow of the setting sun, I felt very excited about the town, but as I got closer, the more I felt that something was wrong. That town...... It was also abandoned!

When I got to the outside of town, it was already dark, there was not a single light, there was not a trace of smoke, it was a dead town!

I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart, this is different from the human world I imagined! How could this be the case!

Standing on the avenue in the middle of the town, the last of my remnants slowly faded as the sun sank below the horizon. The town was very quiet, there was no wind, no birds, the slightest heel movement, and the sound of shoes rubbing against the ground seemed so harsh.

Scanning the street in front and the houses on either side, I pouted. Let's stay here tonight!

But instead of walking directly through the street, I found an alley and got in.

The west is a dry place. Dry! That's right, this is the biggest feature of the west, since it is dry, then there is no need for the ground here to be paved with stone slabs at all, mud and sand are enough. I try to keep my steps as light as possible, not that I'm afraid of disturbing the quiet, but that the silence is often not good.

It's a bit dark in the alley, but it's safer in this kind of place, not only because no one usually lurks in this kind of place, but also because you can hear the movement more clearly. In the end, it's this kind of small place that is more advantageous for me.

After walking two streets, I stood in the darkness at the edge of the intersection and searched for a moment, then walked straight to the tavern at the crossroads.

A breeze gently brushed my right cheek, and I stepped forward and gently pushed open the bar door. But I didn't go in, but stopped at the door for half a minute, and there was no movement in the bar, and then I stepped into the door.

It was much darker inside the bar than outside, and I looked at the walls, where the lights had been removed. I lifted my foot slightly, and the old wooden floor creaked.

I gritted my teeth and shook my head, this kind of bird will definitely make a sound no matter how you adjust it. So I walked briskly down the hallway and appeared in front of the hall.

Outside moonlight shone in through the broken windows and onto the floor. The bar lobby is a mess, and something unpleasant happened here before it opened.

With this little bit of moonlight, the whole hall was unfolded before my eyes, and there was no one!

But just as I was stunned, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside!
