Chapter 698: One drink and one peck has its destiny?
The goblins do have a good business acumen, but after all, they are "country bumpkins" from the Kezan Islands. They know very little about the secret information under Azeroth, and they may not necessarily understand the existence of undead creatures like lichs.
As expected, after listening to Saryan's inquiry, Gazlowe deliberately made an exaggerated gesture of surprise.
"Oh~ you said him."
"Indeed, more than a month ago,
There is a hidden mage master who landed in Ratchet City."
Gazlowe deliberately put on a pitiful expression: "You also know that the flow of people in Ratchet City is very pitiful. Whenever an outsider arrives, it will attract a lot of attention."
"so what?"
Sarlayan had long understood the goblin's behavior through the barrage, and took out a bag of gold coins from the space package and placed it in front of Gazlowe.
"Where did he go? You didn't make things difficult for him, did you?"
"No, no! Of course not!"
After all, Gazlowe is the lord of a city. Although his life is a bit miserable due to the sparse flow of people, at least he is not like the two bodyguards behind him, who are staring straight at the money on the table.
Bag, barely remaining reserved.
Ever since the mysterious witch living in seclusion outside Ratchet City was discovered by the thief of the Backlight Blade,
This unknown witch lady has moved many times, and each time she hides herself more secretly.
After the last move, the elites of the Backlight Blade have been unable to find Aegwynn's new home.
On the contrary, Merry got in touch with her through a special communication channel. Now she is sitting in Aegwynn's new home and earnestly persuades her to return to the Temple of the Guardian and help him rebuild the Parliament of Tirisfal.
Due to different focus, the thieves of the Backlight Blade did not notice the whereabouts of Meri, so Sarlayan could only turn to Gazlowe, a local snake, for help.
It is rare for Ratchet City to have a master mage with amazing spending power come to visit, so it is natural that Gazlowe will pay special attention to him.
Sarlayan's money was not in vain. Although Merry deliberately used invisibility to hinder the goblins' tracking, Gazlowe still roughly circled the area where he disappeared.
"Uh~"
Sarlayan looked at the circle Gazlowe drew on the map and rubbed his eyebrows in confusion.
Sharlayan: "Is this what you said...a drink and a peck are destiny?"
[Most people in our era no longer believe in God. This is probably just a coincidence.]
The circle Gazlowe drew is no longer in the Barrens. No wonder the thieves of the Backlight Blade couldn't find it.
This circle is located in the Dustwallow Swamp south of Ratchet City. The goblin, who was obsessed with making money, followed Merry deeply into the dangerous swamp area and roughly determined the location where Merry disappeared.
…
Valeera is in charge of the business with the Steamwheedle Consortium.
Sarlayan did not know the specific process of the negotiation and did not intend to cause trouble for her on the other side of the sea.
After getting the information he wanted, Saryan ignored Gazlowe's efforts to persuade him to stay.
He quickly left Ratchet City with his team members,
Head all the way south to Dustwallow Marsh.
It's quite interesting to say that two of the three people traveling with Sarlayan had an indissoluble bond with Dustwallow Marsh in the original history.
One is Jaina, who founded the city in Dustwallow Marsh in the original history, and the other is the black dragon princess Onyxia, who placed her home in Dustwallow Marsh.
Sarlayan also specifically asked Onyxia about this matter, and received a confused expression from Onyxia.
"Dustwallow Marsh? Why would I want to build a nest in a place where birds don't poop?"
"You also know my personality. I like lively and prosperous places. This deserted swamp obviously does not suit my aesthetics."
[Indeed, Onyxia would not have hid in the desolate Dustwallow Swamp if she had not been forced into a desperate situation by Marshal Windsor.]
[Although Onini was surrendered by Xiao Sa in advance, her nature is hard to change. In essence, she still likes to have fun. She is a typical city princess dragon. If you let her go to the countryside to endure hardship...it's very blue.]
Sarlayan: "How dare God surrender? Are you serious about surrendering to Him?"
[I would like to watch something inappropriate. The question is, do you dare? 】
Sarlayan raised his eyebrows: "Hey! I have such a bad temper! I really... don't dare."
[Fuck, use the cruelest tone and say the most cowardly words.]
It's not that Onyxia's dragon form at this time prevents Sharlayan from taking action. At worst, everyone transforms into a giant dragon and rolls around on the earth... cough.
Onyxia's duty when traveling with Sharlayan is to monitor him.
Don't let him spread his charm everywhere and deceive little girls.
With Oni's fun-loving nature, once he succeeds in guarding himself...
Sarlayan is sure,
This smug guy would send a message through Tina in minutes, showing off crazily to Valeera and Stellagosa far away in Stranglethorn Vale.
[Then Xiaosha will play GG amidst the laughter and laughter.]
【send!】
Sarlayan: "What are you talking about? I'm worried that these inexplicable emergencies will disrupt the plan. Valeera and Little Star still have important tasks to complete in Stranglethorn Vale."
【Yes, yes, bronchitis, thank you for your hard work.】
"Ahem, if you don't talk so much, there will be nothing left."
How could Sarlayan speak louder than the barrage of chatter? Seeing that the barrage was getting more and more outrageous, he skillfully changed the subject.
"I wonder if Theramore still has a chance to be established on this world line."
[There is no chance. With your current influence in Quel'Thalas, as long as you can come up with legitimate reasons, you can definitely convince Kael'thas and the cabinet to make a decision to build a port city here. ]
Sarlayan smiled and shook his head: "It's not the right time yet. Kalimdor is far from developed yet. Let's continue to wait for the good news from Kane and Hamuul."
Since assisting the tauren in relocating to the Mulgore Steppes, Quel'Thalas has maintained contact with them, and the southern seaport of Tanaris was established and maintained by the tauren providing manpower.
However, after being plagued by the centaurs for countless years, the population of the tauren in Kalimdor has become very sparse.
At least until the next generation grows up, the tauren are unable to expand outwards for the time being.
Moreover, the stubborn tauren still has one obsession left.
Where you fell, you must get up.
If they accumulate enough power one day, the top tauren such as Kane and Hamuul will also want to take back their ancestral land in Desolace.
In fact, there is only one mountain between Desolace and the Mulgore Plateau, but because the steep mountains between them are difficult to pass, you need to make a big circle from Mulgore to Desolace, bypassing the Stonetalon Mountains from the Barrens.
to reach the destination.
But this problem is not a problem at all for earth spirits who are good at digging holes.
Sharlayan had already discussed with Kane, the tauren warchief, and when they were ready, he could bring back some of the earth spirits who had completed their work from Wintergrasp at any time to help them open the mountain tunnel directly connected to Desolation.
If they can successfully recapture the Desolation Land, it means that the Tauren are ready to expand their territory and will inevitably begin to march into the Barrens.
After all, the desolate land is in such a ghostly state now that the symbolic significance of recapturing it is far greater than the practical significance.
At that time, the port built in Dustwallow Marsh can truly be considered valuable.
Nothing happened while flying on the back of the dragon. Jaina took the opportunity to grab Sarlayan and rub her well-developed body against Sarlayan's arm.
After all, Sarlayan is still a full-blooded man, and with the warm fragrance of soft jade in his arms, there is no way he won't react at all.
In order to divert attention, while he was perfunctory with Jaina, he spent most of his energy chatting and spanking with the barrage.
Jaina was also a little puzzled. She had learned some classic tricks to seduce men from some older sisters in Dalaran, but unfortunately it didn't seem to work on Sharlayan at all.
Tinagosa, who was pushed to the other shoulder by Jaina, looked at her best friend with pity.
'Expect this wood to respond to beauty? You might as well find a way to get Valeera and Stella's permission first.'
Although Onyxia returned to her dragon form and flew the three of them together, she was actually always paying attention to the "comedy" happening on her back.
"Haha~ As expected, you'll never be bored with Sharlayan."
In this situation where everyone had their own thoughts, Onyxia flew over the swamp area designated by Gazlowe.
Just after landing on the swampy ground, a string of condensed arcane missiles suddenly shot out from the lush swamp jungle, hitting Onyxia's huge dragon head directly.
Onyxia: "???"
Sharlayan and others discovered something was wrong when the arcane wave first appeared, and Jaina and Tinagosa consciously joined forces to build an arcane barrier.
"Bang bang bang!"
More than a dozen arcane missiles hit the hastily constructed barrier. The two little guys were obviously not strong enough. Even if they joined forces, they could not block each other's attack.
At the critical moment, Sarlayan jumped out with his feet on the dragon's back, crossed his swords in front of him, and blocked Onyxia's arcane missile combo.
"clang!"
The two swords vibrated outward at the same time, deflecting the last wave of arcane missiles. Sarlayan's amplified voice reminded him with a heavy face: "The test ends here. We have no ill intentions. Please show up, Ms. Aegwynn."
