5. The little boss of Taresha's warehouse---the greedy wolf brothers for the boss [18/30]
"Ding, ding, ding"
The bells of the packhorses rang from time to time on the mountain road, and the crisp sound meant that a caravan was approaching. This was not the difficult mountain road in the Alterac Mountains, but the mountains opened up by the Stormpike dwarves for mining.
the way.
The dwarves are good at digging. In the years since they returned to Alterac, they used explosives and weird machinery to open up the mountains between the Alterac Mountains and the Caulan's Dagger Highlands, and dug out holes in the mountains.
A wide road, but this road is not open to everyone. Only human traders who are trusted by the dwarves can occasionally use this road to transport goods.
Of course, once the dwarves recognize you as a friend, they will be very generous. Therefore, all the merchants in New Tarren Mill are trying their best to get closer to the dwarf commander. However, facing the Immortals, some of the little human conspiracies are hidden.
But theirs, so there are only a few successful people.
And our eldest lady Taresha is one of them. Don’t think wrongly, the friendship between the eldest lady and the dwarf air force commander General Patton is completely due to an accident.
There are many dangerous beasts living in the Alterac Mountains. When the Stormpike dwarves first arrived here, they planned to expel them, but the beasts that can live in cold areas are very ferocious. Although the dwarves have strong firepower,
Occasionally there would be casualties. During a hunting trip, General Patton accidentally got lost in the snow and wind and was surrounded by several snow leopards. When he was about to die, he was saved by Miss Taresha who was out transporting goods.
Since then, the girl Taresha has had the right of passage that merchants covet. Although her drinking capacity is average, the dwarves still regard her as a friend, and who doesn't like energetic girls? Especially
For a girl like Taresha who is not pretentious and has a gentle personality, it is said that several dwarf boys have sent flowers to Taresha, but they were all declined by the girl.
"Hi, Uncle Button."
Taresha was sitting on her own carriage, waving a riding crop in her hand. When she saw a drunken bearded dwarf, she jumped down from the carriage briskly, held up her skirt and ran to the dwarf's side.
A small bag was thrust into his hand.
"This is the rum I bought from the sailors in Nanhai Town. It is said to be native to Kul Tiras. You must like it."
Taresha playfully scratched the dwarf general Barton's beard, making the latter sober up from his drunken stupor. He grabbed the bag in his hand, took out a bottle of wine, opened it, and took a sniff. Suddenly, there was a sudden change in his little eyes.
A burst of brilliance.
"Hahaha"
General Patton laughed happily, like a burst of thunder. He took a sip of wine with satisfaction, burped, and looked at the girl in front of him with drunken eyes. He muttered:
"How I wish you were my daughter, little Taresha, or that you could become little Barton's wife. You are the most perfect human girl I have ever seen. How about it? Do you want to consider it? The Barton family is very wealthy.
Yes, we still have a big house in Ironforge, and you can also meet Muradin."
"But how can a human marry a dwarf?"
Taresha was not pretentious. This very smart girl had figured out the character of the dwarves a long time ago. When getting along with them, it is definitely the most basic principle not to be clever, so she shrugged and said straightforwardly:
"I'm going to open a shop in Lordaeron in the future. When I find the wine there, I'll bring it back to you. Maybe I can go to Ironforge to do business. Okay, I'm leaving. Next time I come back, I'll
I'll bring you some bacon, my brother has already prepared a lot of it."
"Your brother?"
The drunken dwarf general scratched his hair and said:
"It's been several years. I've never seen him. When are you going to bring him back for a drink? You smart little girl... Go ahead, be careful along the way, and send the signal when you encounter danger. I'll teach you.
How do you use the flare gun, right? The outposts along the way will help you."
"Well, I'm leaving then. Goodbye, Uncle Barton."
The girl quickly returned to her carriage. The carriage was filled with wooden boxes stacked together. Due to the friendly relationship between Taresha and General Patton, the dwarf soldiers who were in charge of guarding just looked through it roughly, and then got
He drank the wine gifted by the girl boss, so everyone was very satisfied.
Including the assassin Thales who was lying in the box and had already fastened his dagger and throwing knife.
As the carriage started to move forward again, Thales suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly realized that the human girl he was holding hostage was not ordinary at all. In the situation just now, as long as Taresha shouted for help, he would instantly
They will be beaten into sieves by the angry dwarves with muskets.
The high-level assassin is indeed powerful, but there are dozens of heavily armed dwarves and a powerful general in this place. In this case, he will never be able to escape.
"This is enough, little girl, put me down."
Thales said angrily in the box, but the next moment, Taresha's playful voice came back:
"This is not a good idea, Mr. Assassin, you see, I have a flare gun in my hand, which was given to me by Uncle Barton, and there is a dwarf sentry every 3500 yards along the way. As long as I pull the trigger, no more than 1
In minutes, a gryphon knight will come to help. In order to protect my safety, I put three locks on the box. Listen to me, Mr. Assassin... just follow me. I guarantee that we will both get what we want.
safety.”
"I can kill you 10 times in 1 minute!"
Thales gritted his teeth and said, "You are playing with fire, girl!"
"But if you kill me, you will die, unless you can escape into the valley while being hunted by more than 100 griffin knights. Now, the valley is covered by heavy snow and wind, which will last for at least 3 days. Even if you escape, you will
Frozen to death in the mountains."
There was a hint of coldness in Taresha's voice, and she whispered:
"I've said it before, I've seen people 100 times more dangerous than you, and you actually dare to threaten me... Mr. Assassin, do you really think your little dagger can scare anyone? If it's not the one in your arms
Thing, you’re already dead, so be quiet.”
After speaking, Taresha raised her riding crop, and a trace of joy flashed across her beautiful face:
"My brother will definitely be very happy. I finally found something related to his life experience."
Taresha's pony carriage moved forward along the road built by the dwarves. After passing each sentry post, the girl would greet the dwarves stationed there. It seemed that she had a very good relationship with the Stormpike dwarves. Thales
Knowing that the girl was deliberately threatening him, the high-level assassin suddenly felt angry. When had he been treated like this?
But now the form is stronger than the person, especially when several dwarf patrols followed Taresha's carriage, chatting and patrolling, Thales became extremely nervous. He was unexpectedly beaten by a helpless man.
The human girl was trapped tightly.
If this gets out, he will definitely become the laughing stock of the entire Ravenholdt Manor.
This embarrassment continued until Taresha left the area controlled by the dwarves. She drove the carriage and trudged through the snow. This weather was really not unsuitable for going out. Before reaching the warehouse in the valley, the carriage successfully got stuck in the snow.
Inside, unable to move.
Taresha, who was wrapped in a bearskin cloak, kicked the wheel in anger, but in the end, she sighed and reached out to open the lock on Thales's box. The moment she was freed, the high-level assassin
Like a hunting leopard, it rushed out of the box, pushed the screaming girl into the snow, and put a sharp dagger on her neck.
"You have to pay for your behavior of playing with fire!"
Thales gritted his teeth and threatened the girl in front of him. He could not do anything to kill her. Thales was very young. Although he was doing a shameful job, he still had a trace of kindness in his heart. Otherwise, he would have immediately
Dias Shore will not try his best to recruit him.
"this!"
Taresha screamed, but quickly pointed at the piece of animal skin leaking from Thales' chest, and whispered:
"This is my brother's thing. You are here to find him, right? Since you want to find him, come with me and help me push the carriage out. We will arrive soon. Besides, sir, don't you think
Is this action awkward?"
"Your brother?"
Thales took a look at the posture of the two people. It was indeed very bad. He jumped up from the ground, retracted the dagger, looked at Taresha again, and asked with some confusion:
"Your brother is Orgrim? Are you crazy?"
"Orgrim? Who is that?"
A cunning light flashed in Taresha's eyes. She stood up, pushed the car that was stuck in the snow, and shook her head: "My brother's name is Sal, come and help! Don't be lazy!"
Thales's mind was already in chaos. He was not sure what the relationship between the weird girl in front of him and Orgrim was. But since she could recognize the animal skin, it proved that she did have the information he needed.
After weighing for a moment, Thales reached out to help. It took him a while to get the carriage back on the road.
"So, who is your brother?"
Sitting in the carriage, Thales asked curiously: "This animal skin I have seen is not any kind of leather I have ever seen, and it also has the logo of a certain orc clan on it. It is impossible for humans to own such a thing.
of."
"Don't ask any more questions!"
Taresha snorted, unwilling to answer the question. Soon, a warehouse hidden in the cedar forest appeared in front of the two of them, and just when Thales looked up, Taresha suddenly said
With a scream, the assassin turned around and saw a huge, white snow wolf jumping out of the snowdrift nearby, opening its big mouth and biting the girl.
"What the hell!"
Thales picked up Taresha and the two of them rolled into the snow. The cunning beast chased after her relentlessly. Thales pulled out his dagger and shouted to Taresha behind him:
"Run! I'll stop it!"
Behind the assassin, he did not see the light flashing in Taresha's eyes, and a second later, just when he was about to fight to the death with this huge snow wolf, the girl suddenly shouted:
"Snow song! Go back!"
"Ouch"
The huge snow wolf heard the sound and immediately took a step back. Thales watched in stunned silence as the girl walked out from behind him and reached out to stroke the beast's head. The snow giant could bite steel into pieces.
The wolf, as if seeing a relative, circled around the girl and licked her palm, very intimately.
"Sal, come out quickly, I'm coming."
Taresha followed Snow Wolf into the cedar forest. A moment later, a tall guy wearing animal skins walked out of the warehouse, holding a dwarf musket in his hand, wearing a felt hat, and Taresha.
Resa hugged each other warmly.
Thales looked at this scene and his brain was completely shut down.
Because that tall guy... that's an orc.
That's Thrall, Taretha's brother, and he's an orc... Damn it!
————————————————————————
"So what's going on? Didn't anyone tell me?"
Thales was wrapped in warm leather and sitting in the basement of a carefully built warehouse. It was probably the work of the dwarves. There was also a not-so-fine but very practical fireplace on the wall. And in front of him, the girl Tare
Sha was making tea, and at her feet, the huge snow wolf was resting beside the warm bonfire.
And judging from where it was lying, this beast could jump up at any time and bite Thales' neck off.
On the other side sat the weird orc. He had green skin and looked very strong, but he had a pair of eyes that Thales had never seen before. They were as warm and watery blue as Taresha's eyes.
Their eyes are almost the same color, which is probably the only thing they have in common.
However, the young orc in front of him did not have the bravery of other orcs that Thales had seen. On the contrary, every move he made looked like a real human being. He had fangs and perfectly repaired black hair.
Hair and beard, hell, Thales even felt a hint of "elegance" from the way he took the teacup.
The well-maintained dwarf musket was placed at the orc's feet. Thales had no doubt that as long as he showed a hint of hostility, the orc would grab the musket and blow his head into pieces.
Although with the strength of a high-level assassin, he was not afraid of the orcs and the snow wolf in front of him, the atmosphere in front of him clearly told him that the two sides may not need to fight. What made Thales even more curious was that in front of him,
What is the connection between this orc and Orgrim?
"You are a kind person."
Orc Thrall took a sip of tea, smiled at his sister, and then turned to look at Thales. He spoke human language very well, with a hint of Lordaeron accent. His blue eyes
Staring at the human in front of him, he whispered:
"I can feel from your actions of protecting Taresha that you are not as vicious as you appear on the surface, so since Taresha believes in you, I also believe in you."
"I am gentle to this girl who is full of evil ideas because I am also a human being."
Thales showed a weird smile: "You wouldn't think that I would be gentle to an orc? Have you forgotten how many of my compatriots your compatriots killed in the past few years?"
"That's a tragedy."
Sal shook his head, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes: "In that battle, my sister and I also lost relatives, and my hands have never been stained with the blood of kind people. We are not enemies, and the blood in your hands
The hide...that's what belongs to me."
As he spoke, Thrall took out another animal skin from behind and spread it out in front of Thales. The assassin's eyes narrowed. He took out his own animal skin and pieced it together with the half of the animal skin.
A complete pattern is displayed.
It was a white giant wolf head emblem with a strong clan style.
