According to the intelligence provided by the Backlight Blade and MI7, the Blackwater Pirates are affiliated with the Goblin's largest force, the Steamwheedle Conglomerate.
Rivergaz is one of the directors of the Steamwheedle Consortium, the right-hand man of Steamwheedle Trade Prince Strimwild, and holds a pivotal position in the consortium.
According to Quel'Thalas and the Kingdom of Stormwind's understanding of goblins, most of the most active goblins in the world today belong to three goblin factions.
One is the Steamwheedle Consortium, the second is the Bilgewater Cartel, and the last one is the infamous Venture Capital Corporation.
The Bilgewater Cartel is mainly active in Kezan, the home of the goblins. The treacherous trade prince Gallywix is keen on conspiracy calculations with other consortiums and is gradually seizing the supreme power of the Kezan Islands.
Employees of venture capital companies are spread throughout Azeroth, and their presence can be seen wherever profits can be made from venture capital.
Because this group of goblins led by the trade magnate Razdenk have always liked to do things that benefit themselves at the expense of others, all major races in Azeroth hate them deeply, and will mercilessly expel them from the country once they find the shadow of the venture capital company.
Compared with the above two, although the Hot Sand Consortium is also a profit-seeking interest group, they still have a bottom line.
The trade prince of the Steamwheedle Consortium, Streamwild, is known as the richest goblin in Azeroth. Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale and Ratchet City in the Barrens across the sea are both properties under his name.
The only purpose of the Hot Sand Consortium is to make money.
According to the barrage, this goblin consortium will remain neutral between the new alliance and the new tribe in the future and will not intervene in the internal battles of Azeroth. They also do not mind defending the frontline alliance when Azeroth is in crisis.
and provide some help to the tribe.
In the original history, the Bilgewater Cartel would join the new tribe due to some unforeseen circumstances, but their profit-seeking leader Gallywix would lose power after a certain incident, and he would be replaced by Gazlowe, who is affiliated with the Steamwheedle Consortium.
Tribe, the goblins who rule the tribe.
[So Gallywix, who is eager for quick success and quick profit, is nothing. If he really wants to be a trader, he has to look to the Hot Sand Consortium.]
[I heard that there are five large consortiums in goblins. What are the other two? 】
[I don’t know, Glass Slag hasn’t mentioned it yet. According to the existing information, Hotsand Consortium is the strongest among the five major consortiums. 】
[Gadgetzan, Ratchet, Booty Bay, Everlook, Area 52, and K3 are all cities under the Steamwheedle Consortium. These greenskins are really rich and powerful. 】
Sharlayan: "I know Ratchet and Booty Bay, but what are Gadgetzan, Everlook, Area 52 and K3?"
[Gadgetzan is the city that the Hot Sand Consortium will build in the Tanaris Desert in the future. It is said that it is to use this city to manage the desert track in the Shining Plains. 】
[Yongwang Town is located in the ice-covered Winter Spring Valley, and it probably hasn’t been built yet.]
[Area 52 was built in the original history during the Void Storm after the collapse of Draenor. Due to changes in history, it is 80% likely that it will never appear again. 】
[And K3 may have some relationship with you high elves. In the future, the Hotsand Consortium will be bold enough to build this town at the entrance to Storm Cliffs. 】
"oh?"
While exchanging information with the barrage, Sarlayan responded to Rivigaz's attentive greetings without saltiness or indifference.
All of Azeroth knows how wealthy Quel'Thalas is, and the major goblin consortiums have always wanted to open up trade channels with Quel'Thalas.
The high elves have no good impressions of any vulgar goblins who only care about money. Neither Anasteria nor Kael'thas have any intention to cooperate deeply with the goblins.
As the chief consortium with the most powerful goblin power, the Steamwheedle Consortium has been paying close attention to Quel'Thalas's movements, and naturally has a lot of knowledge about the rapidly rising Count Sarlayan Deep Shadow.
Since the three people from Sarlayan all used false names when they entered the city yesterday, Rivigaz was not able to get the information about the distinguished guest's visit immediately.
It wasn't until the people below conveyed the news that Anli had been defeated and was planning to cause trouble for him in the city in violation of the regulations, Levigaz frowned and picked up the monocular to look at the port, intending to stop this reckless man before the matter got serious.
.
This sight frightened Rivigaz. He unexpectedly saw a big shot at the scene of the conflict who he could not afford to offend.
The big star in front of the new Sun King Kael'thas Sunstrider is Count Thalayan Deepshadow.
Realizing that something was wrong, Levigaz, who was surrounded by dead souls, immediately rushed to the port in a hurry, and finally arrived at the scene before the conflict completely broke out.
"Rivegaz, the leader of the Blackwater Pirates, right?"
Sarlayan crossed his arms with a calm expression: "I have seen with my own eyes how ridiculous your 'rules' are. Are you going to help me or not?"
Rivergaz forced a smile on his face and defended: "No, no, no, it's just that some of my subordinates are making their own decisions."
Angrily glaring at the port guards who had obviously taken advantage of the situation and stood idly by, Rivergaz was determined to kick these guys out of the city who only looked at immediate interests.
"Hmph~ Forget it, it's none of my business anyway."
Sarlayan waved his hand noncommittally: "Lord Rivigaz, we still have business to do, so let's leave it at that."
"this……"
Rivergaz originally wanted to persuade him to stay, but when he thought about the fact that his subordinate was caught pulling the crotch by the Earl of Deep Shadow, he felt a little lack of confidence.
Moreover, Sarlayan made it clear that he had something serious to do, so Levigaz could only send him off with a smile, and warmly invited Sarlayan to visit Booty Bay again when he had time, and he promised to let Count Deep Shadow see him.
Booty Bay has a new atmosphere that is different from the past.
Knowing that the Steamwheedle Consortium would boldly go to the Storm Peaks to install a town in the future, Sarlayan did intend to have an in-depth chat with this group of Steamwheedle goblins, but now was obviously not the right time.
Cheng Bo, who has a straightforward temper, has only been in Booty Bay for a few days. Unlike Sarlayan, who has detailed information, he doesn't quite know what happened.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing Anri and his men get out of the way in dejection, he was too lazy to think deeply and returned to the dock at Sarlayan's greeting.
"Shh~"
Putting two fingers in his mouth, a melodious whistle sounded on the dock.
The three of Sarlayan no longer paid attention to Levigaz, who was furiously teaching his subordinates, but curiously observed Cheng Bo's actions.
"Wow~"
Ten seconds later, a sea turtle poked its head out from under the sea. Cheng Bo waved to it happily and received a response from the sea turtle.
Sarlayan asked with some surprise: "Is this turtle a descendant of Shenzhenzi?"
Cheng Bo nodded approvingly: "That's right."
"Wait a moment."
Cheng Bo stretched out two fingers and stood upright in front of his chest, muttering something in his mouth.
"big!"
Following Cheng Bo's soft drink, the turtle, which could only carry one person, grew in size.
"Ah this..."
Looking at the turtle, which could carry about three people, Cheng Bo scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Sorry, I'm not good at learning. I can only make Bobo so big. How about we squeeze it in?"
Sarlayan laughed and shook his head: "No, you go up first."
Cheng Bo was fat and hearty, and the space he occupied alone was larger than the well-proportioned Valeera and Stellagosa put together.
Seeing the three people boarding the turtle's back shell one after another, Sarlayan jumped up from the dock and turned into a black and white killer whale when he entered the water.
Cheng Bo: "???"
The pandaren had not received Cenarius's enlightenment, and they did not have the profession of druid. Cheng Bo stared at the killer whale that surfaced with wide eyes, and was speechless for a while.
The killer whale transformed from Sarlayan said in a human voice: "Why are you still standing there? Lead the way, and I will follow you."
"Huh? Oh oh!"
After regaining consciousness, Cheng Bo commanded the turtle to set off.
Many people say that turtles crawl very slowly. This is true. They are truly turtle crawlers on land.
But the swimming speed of sea turtles is not low. Although it is not as fast as those fish that are famous for their speed, it can still reach 29 kilometers per hour, which is better than the previous ones.
The maximum swimming speed of killer whales can reach 55 kilometers per hour, which is far faster than sea turtles.
Sarlayan didn't need to exert much effort to follow the turtle, and he still had time to chat and brag with the other three people on the way.
Valila asked curiously: "Cheng Bo, I heard that Shenzhenzi has been swimming around in the sea. How did you determine its real-time location?"
Cheng Bo patted the turtle named Bobo under him: "We will definitely not find it on our own. It depends entirely on these turtles who are related to Shenzhenzi. They will lead us to and from the Wandering Island."
Stellagosa raised her hand to block the dazzling sunlight in the South China Sea of the Eastern Continent, and looked at the sea level in the distance.
"How long will it take us to find Shenzhenzi? The sunshine here is really harsh."
Cheng Bo was well prepared and took out a huge lotus leaf from his travel backpack and put it on his head, chattering a few words to the turtle Bobo.
"Bobo said it will take about five days. We can only spend these days wandering at sea."
"...By the way, did you bring enough fresh water?"
