Volume 5 The Return of the King 102 Across the ocean

I only like to stand on the beach and watch the sea, at most waist-deep water, and although I can swim, I still don't like places where there is a lot of water. It's not because the drowning man knows how to water, but because ...... Growing up, I was terrified of the underwater world.

Although it is less likely that I will drown now, I still have an indelible fear when I stand on the shaky deck, in the middle of an ocean, and look at the endless sea. Especially when you see those huge creatures, you always feel very small. Only when I was with Alsace was I fearless, and there was no concept of fear at that time.

In the past, Sylvanas teleported from Kalimdor to Dalaran should have been done in an instant, but now it is impossible to go to Kalimdor. None of the magicians Sylvanas who had been to Kalimdor and could use portal spells didn't have any. It is said that there are two people who can teleport back to Lordaeron from anywhere now.

One was Bilgit Cranston, who was originally a veteran magician in Dalaran, and the other was Sam. The name is very earthy, and his father is not a man of culture, but Bilgit has a lot of respect for Sam, although I don't know why, but I feel that maybe Sam was much higher than her when he was alive.

Yes, Bilgit Cranston is a woman, and a good-looking woman. Although she was dead, her clean little face was quite well preserved. And her eyes were not as fierce as some of the Forsaken, but rather felt that she was quiet.

The guy named Sam had a stinky face, not because he had a drooping face or anything but because his face was half rotten.

Birgit was usually very quiet, she didn't come to the deck often, and was always alone in her room. Maybe it's because of her appearance, maybe it's because of her personality, I feel happy every time I see her, and that's the only thing that makes me happy on this boring journey. But the girl was quite silent, and I had never seen her speak. I asked the people around me, but they couldn't tell why.

As the person in charge of this operation, I have the right to communicate with everyone on board, but this girl doesn't know if she is afraid of me or why she always avoids me. But it doesn't matter, I have time.

There were dozens of people on board, all handpicked by Sylvanas, and our destination was clear and our goals were clearer. After more than ten days of wandering, the land reappeared in front of our eyes, and this group of corpses that were a little rickety all gathered at the bow of the ship to look at the strange land.

None of them asked me where I was, only four or five of the men had spoken to me since the Undercity, most of them barely squeaked, and the mute ones just stood silently.

The red land is the most obvious sign, as long as we see the red land, the red trees indicate that we have arrived, but this time the place where our boat appeared is very different from the last time, although the land here is red, but I always feel as if we have found the wrong place. So I ordered to look all the way south along the coastline, and I couldn't believe that I couldn't find the landing site!

The coast has always been uneven, and the broken cliffs can be seen everywhere, as if the land has been torn apart or torn apart by some force. This was the case the last time I landed in Azara, so I'm still not sure if I went to the wrong place, but that's the way it is for now.

Just as we had been searching along the coastline but had no clue, we suddenly noticed a boat on the sea in front of us, and this discovery made everyone excited. I was also excited, but I didn't feel good when I suddenly remembered the past.

"Get ready for battle!" I shouted.

They looked at me in amazement and obeyed my orders, but what could they do when they were ready for battle? We don't have any artillery on this ship, the only firearm is my musket, and their ranged weapons are bows and arrows except javelins, hmm...... There are also a few magicians.

I'm praying that I'm not meeting pirates!

The ship had also spotted us, and our ship was flying with Lordaeron's royal flag, which was forsaken, but it was now easier to go out and play Lordaeron's flag.

The ship came closer, and I could see through the binoculars about two hundred meters away!

That's not human! It's goblins!

I felt like I had to take a gamble, and although the ship had been ready for battle since it came, they were quite restrained and kept watching us. Since we didn't have heavy weapons, I had most of them hide in the cabin, and this show of weakness was good for us.

The two boats were side by side, there was no shouting or flags on the opposite side, and when they started firing, I chose to slow down.

There must have been a hundred and ten people on that ship, but we only have a dozen on deck now. My companions had never seen anything like it, and there was nothing but curiosity in their eyes. This is especially true for us on the other side, after all, we have few people and we don't have heavy weapons like artillery.

I'm sure I met a pirate.

When the rope was thrown, they boarded the boat. I told everyone to stay still for a while, so that they could not cope with the changes. A red-haired goblin came last from that side, and everyone got out of the way, and he walked up to me, and he looked up at me.

We looked at each other like this, and he muttered, "This should be human!" ”

I could understand them, but I didn't squeak.

"They don't understand us." The goblin tilted his head and said to the people around him. "Go check their cabin!" He then ordered.

"You're rude." I say.

The goblins' eyes widened suddenly. The red-haired goblin in front of him took a step back. He looked at me in shock, "Do you speak our language?" ”

"Your language is not difficult to learn." I say.

His eyes were full of doubt. "Who are you?"

"I'm a traveler." I said, "Explorer." ”

He narrowed his eyes, "Explorer......" he snorted and laughed. "Are you human?"

"Yes." I say.

"Look, this human can speak our language!" The guy turned his head and smiled at the goblin behind him.

I would have said, "It's not unusual to be in Booty Bay. "But when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back." Are you a pirate? I asked.

He tilted his head and squinted at me. "Of course not. What do you mean by pirates? ”

"It's a special one to rob at sea, robbing ships and supplies." I say.

He smiled, "Am I like a pirate?" ”

"Like." I say.

"Hah!" He clapped his hands and laughed. "What makes you feel like me?"

"Humans don't approach each other in the way you do, and they don't rush aboard ships." I say. "It's rude."

"Ahh Courtesy. He seemed to be recalling the word, "The word politeness is a foreign word to us, but I know what you mean, and we prefer the word respect." He said.

"Yes, too." I said, "Anyway, this behavior makes us feel bad." ”

He smiled and said, "Humans who can speak our language...... It's also the first time I've seen a human! He looked at me for a moment, then fixed his gaze on me, "As explorers, your weapons seem to be poor. Or do you humans not have advanced weapons? ”

"We don't come to conquer, we come to explore, to discover." I say.

"Explore, Discover...... Hmph, what about after the discovery? Not for conquest yet? ”

"It can also be traded, exchanged, communicated, and communicated." I say. "Conquest...... It only creates contradictions, and human beings don't like to create contradictions. ”

He stared into my eyes, the expression on his face meaningful, but finally fixed his gaze on my waist, and then he said, "Maybe you're right." He held out his hand to me, "Nice to meet you, friendly human!" ”

Friendly human ...... His words didn't sound like much at first glance, but I always felt that something was going on in there.

The guy's name is Hobart Hookhammer, an engineer who travels back and forth between Kalimdor and Kozan. He likes to call himself an engineer, he likes to invent and create. The reason why it appears here is because goblins are good at discovering new things.

It's all, I know.

He said that he was not a good business and trader, he liked to invent and discover, and the reason why he didn't hate me was that I was also a person who liked to explore and discover.

I haven't told him about Treasure Bay, and I'm still worried about the goblins dividing the forces. After all, Booty Bay is a goblin, and the venture capital company is also a goblin, and the two groups don't deal with each other.

And when asked about what he seemed to have heard of humans before, he told me that he had never seen a human before, but had only heard his kind say that in the east of their homeland, across the most dangerous ocean, there was a land where there lived a creature, hehe, survival......

The creatures had white or brown skin, were taller than them, had no pointed ears or teeth, and had a small, unintelligent head. Compared to the goblins, it is relatively backward.

But after seeing me today, he was more shocked, and he also knew what humans look like, and he said that although they are really ugly, very similar to the white-skinned pigs they raise, humans walk upright.

And when it comes to kindness, he says that humans are belligerent but not warlike, technologically backward and generally seem dumber than pride, unlike me who can speak goblin language.

The way he looked at me made me feel bad all of a sudden. yes, how could I be a goblin speaker? If I hadn't dealt with goblins, how would I know goblin language? However, this goblin seems to be an impatient, and he says that although most humans are extremely stupid, there will be some geniuses among the human race, and they will not be goblins...... Spell!

He thinks I'm a magician.

His words made me curious, goblins can't spell.

He said that goblins really don't know spells, goblins don't worship things that are mysterious, goblins like physics, chemistry, they like things they can understand and control. Of course, they generally prefer gold coins.

So the goblins don't have faith, they don't make some illusory non-existent gods like those trolls, and then make everyone bow down to faith. There is no such thing in goblins. He took out his musket and shook it, saying that they only believed in gunpowder and cannons, and that everything was true within the range of the cannons.

And he told me where I am and what else I have to see in this land.

When I asked them if there were any other races living in this land, his warning to me was to stay away from them!

Those guys can eat people!
