Chapter 475: Strange Goblins
At this point in time, there are not many forces that can travel between Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms by sea.
Excluding Kurtiras and Zandalara, there are only two great pirate forces that roam the seas, the Bloodsail Pirates and the Blackwater Pirates.
The goblins' business is spread all over Azeroth, and they can even sell their own mom if they see the profits.
The goblin's base camp is in Kozan, an archipelago of open-pit oil everywhere.
Sarren is very interested in the new energy source of oil, but he really doesn't dare to tear his face and grab food from goblins.
Don't look at the goblins most of the time they are giggling and laughing in business, once it endangers their small coffers, the goblins with a friendly attitude immediately become disrespectful.
In our world, goblins have another name. γ
γStreet Lamp Regulars...... Ahh γ
γGrass! Street lamp regulars are okay, are they hung on street lamps all year round? γ
[Zach, the lizardman of Facebook, is talking about you.] γ
[Lizardman, hahaha! I can't laugh anymore! γ
Sarjan: "? β
Sarren understood what was said before the barrage, and was nothing more than a joke that capitalists should be hung on street lamps, but what kind of lizardman was that...... He really couldn't catch the laugh.
The goblin's physical fitness is very poor, and the dwarf who is also short is half a pound or two.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the innate disadvantage of physical conditions that the brains of these two races are very useful, and they have each developed a set of special combat methods that do not rely on physical ability.
Engineering.
The engineering philosophy of goblins is to explode, and engineering products that do not explode are definitely not made by goblins.
Due to the large amount of oil near the Kozan Islands, the energy for goblin engineering products is powered by oil, while the gnomes use high-powered steam engines.
Today, the new roads in Yongge Forest are made of asphalt, which is obtained by refining oil.
There are no large-scale oil-producing areas in the Eastern Kingdom, at least not for the time being with the current oil exploration techniques available in Quel'Salas.
With the exception of the Kozan Islands, which are overrun by goblins, the only way to find open-pit oil is to cross the ocean to Kalimdor.
The oil obtained by Quel'Salas comes from the Angolo crater, and the local open-pit oil field has been taken by the people of the Deep Shadow County and is continuing to extract oil.
Officials in Quel'Thalas are not too interested in this dirty-looking energy material, which has the infinite energy provided by the solar wells and does not use oil most of the time.
Considering the possible crisis of the solar well in the future, Salian took the oil field of Angolo crater in advance, hoping that the oil could be used as a temporary supplement in the event of a problem with the solar well.
The Bloodsail Pirates and the Blackwater Pirates, though rampant, did not dare to offend the fleet of Kurtilas on the sea.
Oil from the Angolo crater is transported to sea through the South Sea port built by the Minotaurs in the Tanaris Desert.
The fleet of Kurtilas transported across the sea to the port of Sunsail in Quel'Thalas, where it was transported all the way to the Countdom of Deepshadows for refining.
With Quel'Salas's current situation, the need for oil production is not urgent, and there is no need to tear up with the goblins because of this.
Goblins are unprofitable guys, and the existence of the South Sea port and the oil produced in Angolo Crater have long been discovered by them.
There was a real prince of trade who wanted money and didn't want to die, trying to snatch this crude oil transportation route.
Then, he was taught to be a man by Kurtilas to the invincible naval fleet.
The Goblins assisted the Orcs in the construction of ships during the Second Orc War, in order to trick the Orcs into looting the gold and goods they had plundered from the Stormwind Kingdom.
The orcs had no interest in the soft metal objects that humans loved, and were unwittingly coaxed away by the goblins in exchange for some inferior second-hand ships.
Daelyn Proudmoore had a clear love and hate, and he had always remembered that goblins had helped orcs.
This time the goblin took the initiative to die, just so that he found an opportunity to vent, and the fleet that caught the goblin was beaten violently.
After sinking the goblin fleet that dared to rob the merchant ships of Kurtilas at sea, Dahrin personally led the main fleet to surround the Kozan Islands, scaring the island's trading princes who were busy with pleasures.
There has never been a concept of a king in the goblin civilization, everything they do is about money, and the prince of trade who has the most resources is the real power in the goblin clan.
But there was more than one Prince of Trade, and under the threat of the Daelin soldiers, the Princes of Trade hurriedly held an internal meeting, and soon caught the unlucky guy who had attracted Kurtilas.
Then things went well, and the daring Prince of Trade was mercilessly pushed out by his own countrymen, hoping to use him to appease Dalin's anger.
The trade princes were originally in competition with each other, and kicking a person out of the game was just enough to snatch the resources in his hands, and without the slightest hesitation, they laughed out loud in the midst of the crisis.
Dalin had no affection for the goblins who lived and died for money, and after publicly abandoning the fat-headed, big-eared trade prince from the ship to feed the sharks, he kept his promise to turn the ship around and evacuate.
The other goblin trade princes showed no mercy on the death of their compatriots, instead setting off a revelry on the island, celebrating the great profits of their respective factions.
This kind of magical scene can only be seen here in goblins.
Afterwards, Dalin smiled bitterly when he talked about it to Sarjan.
At that time, he really wanted to use this as an excuse to teach the goblins a lesson, but those guys who had no concept of protecting each other didn't let him find an excuse, and betrayed the trade prince without hesitation.
On the way out of Stormwind and on the way to Thorn Hollow, Saljan tells Valera and Stella Gosa about it as a joke, and they both look incredulous when they hear it.
Valeera: "Goblins...... Is it really that undisciplined? β
Stella Gossa rubbed her eyebrows: "I haven't heard of this kind of race that can give up everything for money. β
Valera pursed her lips, obviously not having any affection for the goblins, a rude and shameless race that was only for money.
"Sarjan, are you sure that the Kozan Islands, where the goblins are located, have a large oil reserve?"
"Didn't Dai Lin still want to beat them up, should we come to a trick to fish and enforce the law?"
Salian shook his head: "Although the social rules of the goblins are very strange, they are all very shrewd and not so easy to be fooled. β
"Let's stop this matter, with the goblin mercenary style, there will definitely be a chance to 'deal' with them in the future, and then let them spit out with profit."
β¦β¦
To get from Stormwind to the Valley of Thorns, you'll need to pass through the Twilight Forest.
Sarjan didn't like the fact that the area was always shrouded in magical clouds, so he simply rose above the clouds.
After descending into the Valley of Thorns, the hot and humid air greeted them, and before they could go far, Valera and Stellagossa were drenched in sweat.
"What the hell is this weather?"
Valera pulled her leather armor and fanned her inside, complaining: "I didn't feel so uncomfortable last time I went to the Tanaris Desert, my whole body was like being soaked in water." β
Sallian landed on the ground and turned back into human form, chuckling and explaining to Valeera, "How can that be the same. β
"The Tanaris Desert was originally also a rainforest, but the activation of the Furnace of Origin completely changed the landscape there."
"Although the sun is very hot in the desert area, because the air is dry, as long as the head is covered by the sun, the body feels comfortable, and the humid and hot rainforest area is ...... I don't need to introduce more, right? β
Stella Gosa tried to use an ice spell to cool down the three of them, but Valeera, who complained the most, voluntarily stopped due to the mana required to maintain it for a long time.
"Forget it, we have something to do, not to travel, let's work hard to overcome it, it can be regarded as a bit of knowledge."
Valera and Stella Gosa have been working together for a long time, and the two have long since adapted to each other's presence.
Stella Goussa does not have a tough personality and gets along very well with Valeera.
Before Salaan could speak, Valilla was first distressed by Little Star's mana consumption.
Sarren: "...... Am I not at the right time? β
[Valeera: No, you came at the right time. γ
[Grass, there is a picture.] γ
[233, what an anti-harem.] γ
