Booty Bay is different from other civilized cities in that the guards in the city are all members of the Blackwater Pirates.
These pirates will not ask the identity of the people entering the city, and they can get away with just giving a false name.
As long as they are willing to abide by the rules of Booty Bay, the Steamwheedle Consortium welcomes anyone to enter the city for consumption.
In this mixed city, drunkards can be seen fighting each other at any time. As long as it doesn't cause a large-scale brawl, the pirates guarding the city don't bother to care.
Of course, if the victim is caught on the spot like the dwarf thief, the guards in the city will still play a role.
Booty Bay, as its name suggests, is a floating city made of a large number of wooden boards built in a bay.
Standing at the entrance on the second floor, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city.
[Sure enough, like Silvermoon City and Stormwind City, the scale of Booty Bay is more than ten times larger than in the game...]
[Resources are limited in the game, so it is impossible to build the city model so big... By the way, this city gives me a sense of déjà vu like watching Shipwreck Cove in Pirates of the Caribbean. 】
[Although the worlds are different, in the final analysis they are all cities dominated by pirates, and pirate cultures will have something in common.]
【Am I the only one who thinks of Assassin's Creed Black Flag?】
When you come to a new city, the best places to get information are undoubtedly taverns and hotels.
Different from the games mentioned in the barrage, Nuoda's Treasure Bay has more than a dozen taverns, large and small, with various styles.
Lower-status sailors and pirates mostly choose cheap taverns in the lower levels of the city, while higher-status guests also have suitable places to go.
The high-end pubs on the third floor of the city are prepared for them. According to the city guard who previously captured the dwarf thief, there are many beauties and handsome guys from various races in these pubs to accompany them.
The Goblin's creed is that money solves everything.
Although Sarlayan has reservations about this, having money can indeed solve many problems in most cases.
There will be no shortage of people of any race who live a dissatisfied life, but yearn for a high life. They are willing to work as waiters (boys) in the taverns of Booty Bay with high salaries.
Sharlayan wanted to go to the high-end tavern that the guard mentioned, but Valeera and Stellagosa pulled him to the lower levels of the city without hesitation.
Information can be obtained from high-end taverns and ordinary taverns, but the information content obtained by the two usually does not overlap.
Cheng Bo is just an unknown traveling panda, so senior officials from various countries are unlikely to have any interest in him. If they want to find out information about Cheng Bo, they can only go to civilian taverns with a larger flow of people.
For sailors who make a living on the sea all year round, every time they go ashore is a rare break.
Except for a few self-disciplined people who will save money and send it to their families, most sailors will enjoy themselves in time and spend the salary they receive from the shipowner in the port. Wine and women are essential to them.
After the three of Sarlayan stepped into one of the liveliest taverns, the loud noise made the three of them frown at the same time.
"Hit! Anri, give this fur ball monster some color!"
"Hey! Monokuma, I can bet on you to win, don't let me down!"
Furball monster, black and white bear, these two fresh terms made Sarlayan raise his eyebrows slightly.
After looking at each other with Valeela and Little Star, Sarlayan took the lead and squeezed into the crowd, relying on his strong physical fitness to push away all the fun-loving people who were blocking the road, which caused a burst of curses.
Following the path Sharlayan drove, Stellagosa and Valeela took the opportunity to follow, and soon squeezed into the noisiest first row.
In the inner circle of the tavern surrounded by dozens of people, a tall and strong human man with a beard and a red face punched and kicked another person. He had obviously drunk a lot of wine.
However, all his efforts were in vain.
Standing opposite this strong man was a chubby panda man with fur all over his body.
Compared with the strong human man, although the Pandaren seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, his moves were obviously more methodical, and his movements were filled with a mysterious charm.
"This is……"
It doesn't take much to confirm that this panda is the Cheng Bo that Sarlayan is looking for.
But at this time, Sarlayan did not pay attention to Cheng Bo's appearance, but opened his eyes wide and paid attention to his fists and kicks.
The strong human man strikes without mercy. Every time he punches, you can hear the "whirring" sound of the wind tearing through the air. His strength is impressive.
Sarlayan took the time to turn on the Eagle Eye Technique and observe. This strong human named Anri has a level 45 warrior as his main profession and a level 35 pirate as his secondary profession.
Although I don’t know the specific background of this guy, he obviously has a high status.
Cheng Bo's main profession is a monk, and his level is only 2 levels higher than Anli.
But the fight between the two looked like an adult beating a child. Cheng Bo completely controlled the rhythm of the fight, and no matter how much Anli struggled, he could not break free.
"Warrior monk..."
Sarlayan observed Cheng Bo's moves thoughtfully, and could vaguely feel that there was some kind of restrained power in his fists and kicks.
Sharlayan: "Is this what you call Qi?"
【Yes, it’s amazing, isn’t it?】
[According to the world view described in the Chronicles of Warcraft, Qi comes from the fifth element "soul".]
[Elements are interconnected with all things in the world and are unique to each other. The five elements together form the basis of all matter in the world, which is another system different from the six original powers. 】
"Elemental?"
Sharlayan has long known about the existence of elements.
Strictly speaking, druids who are close to nature have certain abilities to control elements.
For example, the wind-related skills possessed by druids, such as hurricane, typhoon, etc.
But the elements that Sarlayan understood before were earth, water, fire and wind, and the element of soul had never been involved before.
He had a hunch that the mysterious fifth element was inextricably linked to the power of nature and death he controlled, but for a while he couldn't explain why.
There was no suspense about the outcome of this one-on-one battle, which ended with Cheng Bo's overwhelming victory. The strong man Anli was hit in the head by a fist containing true energy, and fell to the ground and fainted on the spot.
There were cheers and wailing sounds in the tavern at the same time. The ones cheering were naturally the winners of the bet, and the ones wailing... needless to say.
"Hiccup~"
At the end of the battle, Cheng Bo staggered and burped, smiling and saluting the drinkers around him with his hands clasped in fists, looking as if he was drunk.
"tnnd! You're so drunk that you can actually win, it's really a ghost!"
Gambling was also one of the fun things the sailors had when they went ashore to rest. Although many people could not accept the fact that Cheng Bo won, they could only accept the reality depressingly after the goblin dealer announced with a smile.
There is no other way, how can you still settle the bill? The last drunkard was thrown into the sea and fed to the fish just an hour ago, and many people present watched it with their own eyes.
"Tsk! This is the captain of the Blackwater Pirates, so embarrassing..."
"Shh! You don't want to die?"
"You're so scared! As long as you don't owe those goblins any money, it won't kill anyone if you get high."
As the battle between Cheng Bo and Anli came to an end, the drinkers who lost money left the tavern cursing, while those who won money happily greeted the bartender loudly to continue serving drinks.
There are also bartenders in such low-level pubs. Considering that the majority of the customers are male sailors, most of the bartenders are women.
Staying at sea for several months at a time, sailors can happily accept it as long as it is not so ugly that it breaks the sky.
Bypassing these vulgar fans, Sarlayan walked up to Cheng Bo who raised his head and drank heavily, raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
"Chengbo Stormstout from the Wandering Isle?"
"Hiccup~"
Cheng Bo put down the bottle of wine with drunken eyes and looked at the strange man in front of him doubtfully. The unpleasant smell of bad wine came out of his mouth.
"Who...are you? Why are you looking for me...hiccup?"
Sarlayan pointed helplessly at the door: "I have something serious to talk to you about. It's not convenient to talk here. Can we change places?"
"Hehe~"
Cheng Bo was obviously very drunk. He was holding the bottle and wanted to get up. When his legs were a little unruly under the paralysis of alcohol, he rolled several times on the ground like a gourd. Then there was a sound coming from the tavern.
A burst of laughter.
"Shh!"
"Monokuma, you can't drink enough!"
"Who says I can't do it!"
Cheng Bo was unconvinced and tried to stand up, but he finally sat down and fell asleep.
"Ah this..."
Sarlayan's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the pandaren lying on the floor of the tavern with his handwriting down. One of the bartenders came over at this moment.
"Are you his friend? That's right. Let's settle the account."
