The contact with Nefarian has always been secretly handled by Onyxia, and there are only ten people who know about Sarlayan.
Julian and Verlais knew about it, and Kael'thas had also heard about it. In the past two years, Yinnas had been busy in the laboratory and had no chance to come into contact with relevant information.
According to conventional logical thinking, Yinas, who did not know the inside story, would definitely regard Nefarian as Deathwing's loyal lackey and regard the loopholes he deliberately left as a fishing trap.
According to the information provided by the barrage, the isolated island where Nefarian was hiding was known as the Karaz Workshop in their knowledge. It was a stronghold built by the goblin Xiushui Financial Corporation off the coast of the Twilight Highlands in a certain timeline.
The Deep Shadow family headed by Sarlayan has many cooperation projects with the goblins, mainly related to the oil industry.
However, Sarlayan's goblin partner is from the Steamwheedle Consortium, which is the largest capital consortium in the goblins, not even one of them.
The Bilgewater Consortium is also a large capital consortium within the goblin tribe that is qualified to join the Trade Federation (equivalent to the parliaments of other countries), but its status in the Trade Federation is not as good as the leader of the Steamwheedle Consortium.
However, as far as Sharlayan knows, the trade prince of the Bilgewater Cartel is not the Gallywix mentioned in the barrage, but an old goblin named Maldi.
Sarlayan will not speak well of them just because he has cooperated a lot with the Steamwheedle Consortium.
There is a saying that goblin trade princes and so-called business tycoons are all big capitalists who should be tied to lampposts. None of these guys have clean hands.
In order to seek more benefits for themselves, most goblins have no concept of a moral bottom line.
The fundamental reason why the Steamwheedle Consortium has grown to its current size is that they made a fortune during the Second Orc War.
At that time, the Steamwheedle Consortium used old ships and artillery to defraud the old tribes who did not know the value of money from all the wealth they captured from the Kingdom of Stormwind.
After passing through the bloody and dirty stage of primitive capital accumulation, the Steamwheedle Consortium, which had witnessed the defeat of the old tribe, unscrupulously changed its position and took the initiative to admit its mistakes and repent to the Alliance that won the war.
The reason why the Kingdom of Stormwind was able to rebuild quickly after the war was only due to the enthusiastic help provided by the alliance countries. The Steamwheedle Consortium, which was interested in purchasing the Atonement Scroll, also contributed a lot.
After all, the huge wealth that snowballed the Steamwheedle Consortium came from the Kingdom of Stormwind. In the final analysis, the wool comes from the sheep.
It has to be said that the Hotsand Consortium repented and transformed in a timely manner.
With its assistance in the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Stormwind and its continued oil trade with Quel'Thalas, the Steamwheedle Consortium is now the well-deserved leader of the Goblin Trade Alliance.
The Bilgewater Cartel, run by Trade Prince Mardi, is not yet qualified to compete with the Steamwheedle Consortium, let alone the venture capital company under the business tycoon Razdunk, who has not even obtained the title of Trade Prince.
There is only one Goblin Capital Group that may threaten the status of the Steamwheedle Consortium, and it is not a financial threat.
That is the Blackwing Consortium who have surrendered to Deathwing early on. Their only goal is to serve Deathwing and his Black Dragon Legion.
From the perspective of the big goblin capitalists, including Streamwilder Steamwheedle, people can only accumulate more wealth while they are alive.
To further expand our horizons, the civilization of Azeroth must continue to exist stably in order to serve their fundamental interests.
However, the Black Wing Consortium does not think so. They have always adhered to the dangerous concept of seeking wealth and wealth at risk, and followed Deathwing wholeheartedly in order to gain wealth from the fire.
In terms of financial resources alone, the Blackwing Consortium is not worthy of providing shoes to the Steamwheedle Consortium, but the threat posed by these crazy goblins to Azeroth is far greater than any other goblin capital consortium.
According to the information provided by Nefarian, the armor that Deathwing originally wore to fix his body was made by the goblin craftsmen of the Blackwing Consortium. Even Nefarian's Blackwing Lair has many Blackwings.
The goblins of the Consortium serve him.
The main task of the goblins in Blackwing Lair is to smelt precious elementium ingots. These formed elementium ingots will be secretly sent to the Maelstrom, and taken by the black dragons to the Deep Rock Continent of the Earth Elemental Realm to be molded into Deathwing.
new armor.
It is said that this set of elementium armor is far stronger than any kind of metal armor, and even the Aspect Dragon cannot penetrate the elementium armor head-on in a short period of time.
However, in Sharlayan's view, it is useless no matter how well Deathwing arms himself.
There are bound to be connections in things like armor. As long as you find the right connection points, tearing apart the elemental armor with explosive frontal protection is not a difficult task.
"Oh~ It's somewhat beyond my expectation."
After flying over the unnamed island, Sarlayan did not land directly on the island to meet Nefarian out of caution.
He entrusted Onyxia to hide on the side of the island to contact Nefarian secretly, while he transformed into a black panther and quietly sneaked into the largest building on the island.
Contrary to Sharlayan's expectation, the person Deathwing sent to monitor Nefarian was not a member of the Black Dragon Legion, but a very thin-looking goblin.
[Goblin Creel, this guy is the leader of the Blackwing Consortium, and he defected to Deathwing many years ago.]
[During the Second Orc War, Nekros found the Dragon Soul under the inducement of Krill, who was hiding his identity, which triggered a series of subsequent events. 】
"Nekros..."
Sarlayan, who maintained his panther form and stealth status, asked the barrage thoughtfully: "When I sneaked into Grim Batol to perform the rescue mission, I didn't seem to see this goblin."
[It’s normal. As the saying goes, a gentleman should never stand in danger. Creel had long predicted that Necros would not end well and ran away from him in advance. 】
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [After Deathwing was seriously injured and escaped into Deep Rock Continent, Creel also followed him with his Black Wing Consortium. ]
[It can be said that, at least at this stage, Deathwing's trust in Creel is probably higher than that of Nefarian, who is becoming more and more rebellious.]
"Ha~ I can see it."
When Sharlayan sneaked into the hall, Nefarian, who had transformed into a human form, was sitting on the main seat with his legs crossed in boredom. Instead, it was Kriel, the goblin, who was arrogantly giving orders to the twilight dragon and the black dragon.
During the period of time when Sarlayan was lurking and observing, goblin engineers carrying the liquid from the Slime Lake kept coming in to report to Creel on the cultivation of the twilight dragon. Obviously, in addition to being a business tycoon, this guy himself
His technical ability should not be bad either.
"Ha~"
Nefarian had no interest in the twilight dragon's improvement experiments to begin with. Now that Creel had taken over everything, he was just happy to fish in his own time, leaning back on the chair with his eyes half closed.
He yawned lazily on his back.
"Um?"
Under Sarlayan's attention, a hint of amusement suddenly flashed across Nefarian's half-opened dragon boy. Creel, who was busy issuing orders, did not see this fleeting scene.
'Has Onyxia's contact arrived? Just in time. Let me see how you respond, Black Dragon Prince.'
Nefarian did not rush to get up and hide in the inner hall to respond to Onyxia's call. He continued to sit on the main seat and doze off little by little.
Creel, who had finished his work for the time being, finally took some time to glance at the lazy Nefarian, with a very subtle sarcasm in his eyes.
"Your Highness, why don't you go back to your room and take a rest?"
"Ha~" Nefarian yawned again and stood up unsteadily, holding on to the handrail: "Okay, I'll leave this to you. I really have no interest in this kind of playing house.
You make your own decision."
On the surface, Creel lowered his head respectfully and bowed to Nefarian, who was waddling towards the back hall. However, Sarlayan, who was riding very low, could clearly see the mocking look in the goblin's eyes when he lowered his head.
‘Look down on Nefarian? Haha~ He is really fighting against the power of others.’
Sarlayan has seen too many people like Creel who get carried away once they gain power, and he is not interested in investing too much energy in such a villain who cannot recognize his own position.
While Creel turned his head and continued to issue orders, Sarlayan silently followed the slow-footed Nefarian into the lounge in the back hall.
After closing the door with a wave of his hand, Nefarian changed the lazy posture he had shown before and looked at the empty ground in front of him with bright eyes.
"Come out, my dear brother-in-law, you came quite quickly."
