Chapter 6 Bigwitz and the Sandfury Troll

Although cooperation with Reed was not immediately finalized, Nogfogg decided to send his deputy, Shax Bigwitz, to follow Reed to the beach to investigate.

It can be said that Li De is in a very good mood. Whether cooperation can be promoted is another matter later. His immediate purpose of this trip to Gadgetzan has been achieved.

Li De and his two subordinates each carried a large box, and inside the box was a complete set of metal tools. For goblins, these are ordinary things. But for the current human territory, it is

It is the most important means of production.

Just looking at the effort of his subordinates carrying the boxes, Li De knew that if he wanted to develop Natalis, there must be other means of transportation. His soldiers could not be used as mules.

Bigwitz is not optimistic about this trip. He has lived in Tanaris for four years and no one understands the cruel environment here better than him. Bigwitz does not believe that humans can build an aqueduct.

"The leader of Noggenfogg is afraid that he is crazy and asked me to follow you to investigate. He should believe me. My water-detecting rod will be successfully researched soon.

As long as I succeed, I will form a water company, and then Gadgetzan will be able to get a stable water supply, which is more reliable than any aqueduct... Oh! My God! What is this?!"

Bigwitz was complaining to Li De, and at this time they happened to reach Qingquan Plain. The towering Great Pyramid shocked the somewhat arrogant goblin on the spot.

"When I inspected the Qingquan Plain half a month ago, there was no such thing?!"

From a distance of 10 kilometers, you can still clearly see the white pyramid with gold on the top!

"Humph, its name is the Great Pyramid, and it is a miracle of our lord! It inspires our craftsmen to have more advanced skills and build our home better."

The soldier Jason who was accompanying him had endured Bigwitz all the way, and he had long been dissatisfied with this chattering goblin. Seeing Bigwitz's shocked look, he immediately said proudly, so that this arrogant guy could understand what awe is.

heart of.

Sure enough, after hearing Jason say this, Begwitz became a lot more honest.

After everyone returned to the territory, the craftsmen were naturally very happy to see that Li De had brought back so many tools.

The happiest people are the stonemason Van Cleef and the blacksmith Argus. With metal tools, they can cut stones, and with stones, they can build furnaces.

As long as iron ore is found in the next step, for craftsmen like them, it is equivalent to owning the whole world.

Li De originally wanted to introduce Bigwitz to everyone, but he found that Bigwitz was missing.

After searching for a long time, I discovered that this guy was standing in a daze under the Great Pyramid. The goblin was obsessed with engineering and had little interest in architecture.

As an outstanding engineer, Bigwitz seemed to feel the magical power contained in the Great Pyramid. However, because he was not affiliated with Li De, he could not directly receive the gift of this power.

This feeling made Bigwitz so itchy that when he spoke to Li De again, he used honorifics.

It was a good thing that this guy suddenly became easy to deal with. Li De introduced him to Van Cleef, Argus and others. At the same time, he secretly told Van Cleef and others:

Don't underestimate this "little monster" with long ears and green skin. He has profound engineering knowledge.

It is best to learn a few more words in Goblin language when communicating, so that it will be easier to steal from others in the future.

After arranging these, Li De did not interfere with these professionals anymore, but sent a small team to protect them. If they needed to conduct on-site investigation, the desert was full of dangers.

At this time, armor master Adler came over again to report on his work.

It turned out that in the two days or so since Li De left, he had already taken people to process the giant scorpion's carapace. However, due to lack of metal tools, he had not completed the final drilling step.

Now that he has the tools Li De brought back and the rope-making workshop is running in an orderly manner, he can officially produce armor.

The reason why Adler came here was to ask Li De to allocate some manpower to him. The work of making armor does not require much physical strength, and women and the elderly can also do it.

This was good news, and Li De happily agreed to Adler's suggestion.

Shortly after approving the matter, Li De received a notification from Eureka.

"Ding~, congratulations to the leader for completing the construction task: planning the work area and a simple armor-making workshop! Reward 50 productivity points. Increase 20 productivity points for the leader every day."

This small territory of 1,000 people can be said to have changed day by day under Li De's leadership. However, just when Li De was happy, Haggard came over and reported to Li De some news that was difficult to judge.

I can't tell whether it's good news or bad news, but in the two days since Li De went to Gadgetzan, some trolls appeared around the territory.

These trolls did not come into contact with the territory, but they had no intention of invading the territory. Instead, they worshiped the Great Pyramid in groups.

Although these trolls were driven away by Haggard and his soldiers in the end, this matter was always on Haggard's mind, and he felt it was necessary to report it to Li De.

This is indeed difficult news to judge, because the troll’s intentions cannot be analyzed.

In the Stormwind Kingdom's army, due to historical reasons, the Stormwind Kingdom was hostile to the trolls.

But now in Tanaris, Li De was unwilling to get into trouble with the trolls casually.

As natives of the world of Azeroth, trolls can be seen everywhere in the world. They have a long history, a splendid civilization and a powerful empire.

To be honest, unless it is a race like the goblins that were once enslaved by the trolls, it is difficult to say that any other intelligent race that takes the initiative to go to war with the trolls is righteous.

Therefore, Li De decided to wait and see again. If the trolls come again in the future, maybe he can take the initiative to contact them and ask them about their intentions.

If the other party had the intention of invading, he would not hesitate to pick up the sword in his hand. But if the other party had no interest in their territory, Li De would definitely not hold back.

That night, Li De held a meeting with all the managers in the largest tent in the territory.

During the dinner, when Lid asked Bigwitz how the discussion about the water channel went, the goblin engineer gave Van Cleef a big thumbs up.

After the exchange during the day, Bigwitz was completely shocked. The overall level of the craftsmen here was simply unbelievably high.

Now he is confident. There is a huge excavation site in the south of Glitter Plain. Stones and ores are not a problem at all. Coupled with the technology here, as long as the various dangerous creatures in Qingquan Plain are dealt with and the construction safety is ensured, the water channel can definitely be repaired.

stand up!

By then, he will probably be able to successfully develop his water-detecting rod, drill a few more wells and connect them to the water supply system of the aqueduct, and the future port and Gadgetzan will develop rapidly!

As the representative of Noglfogg, Bigwitz said at the meeting that he will return to Gadgetzan tomorrow and will truthfully report everything here to Noglfogg and try his best to promote cooperation between the two parties.

Li De also happily expressed that he would appoint Haggard to lead people to escort Bigwitz back to Gadgetzan.

After the meeting ended in a pleasant atmosphere, Bigwig, the goblin whom Li De left behind, was a little curious. Could it be that the matter was not finished yet?

"Mr. Engineer, I would like to ask you, how much do you know about the trolls in Tanaris?"

"Dear Lord, do you want to start a war with the trolls? For the sake of future cooperation, I suggest you not to provoke those guys."

Bigwitz's words aroused Li De's curiosity. To be honest, he didn't have much deep impression on the trolls in Tanaris, but he remembered that they seemed to have a relatively miserable life.

Bigwitz took out the tobacco from his pocket, rolled himself a nice one, smoked it, and continued to preach.

"You can see trolls almost everywhere in Kalimdor. But the trolls in Tanaris, I guarantee, are the most difficult to deal with.

Their tribe is called the Sandfury Trolls, and they live in the ruins of Zul'Farrak deep in the desert.

These guys are very arrogant and always brag about how powerful they were. Zul'Farrak was one of the most prosperous cities.

But in reality? They are living in poverty now. If they hadn't occupied a few wells deep in the desert, they would have been so poor that they couldn't even afford to drink water.

Their external arrogance actually stems from their inner inferiority. They like to brag about the prosperity of Zul'Farrak in the past because they now have nothing but the ruins of a dilapidated city.

Except for a few trolls who are still sane and have fled to Gadgetzan to make a living, most of the Sandfury trolls can only survive by hunting big bugs, hyenas, fire rocs, and robbing.

But even so, they still have to tighten their belts and save a lot of food to contribute to their gods?

I don’t know what they are thinking, a god that will not bring them good luck at all, and I don’t even know if it really exists.”

When he said this, Birgwitz couldn't help but say it with disdain. Finally, he did not forget to advise Li De.

"That's why I suggest that you don't have any thoughts of starting a war with them. If you conflict with these paupers, you won't get any benefits, and you may get into trouble that you will never get rid of."

Li De was a little surprised by how well the goblins treated the Sandfury Trolls.

"It seems that you are very knowledgeable about trolls."

"What kind of research is this?"

Bigwitz blew out the smoke and blew his nose.

"There are about seven or eight Sandfury Trolls who escaped in Gadgetzan. Although these guys don't seem to be very smart, they have a strong urge to talk to people.

God knows how they remember those things. They obviously can't even learn to operate machines, but they can clearly explain what happened every day in the past.

In the first few months after arriving in Gadgetzan, they told us all the hard times we had in Zul'Farrak several times. It was annoying to death at first. Later, when we got used to it, they stopped talking about it.

That’s it.”

Li De nodded while listening, thinking secretly in his mind. The life of the Sand Fury Trolls was much more difficult than he imagined. So what was the purpose of these trolls appearing near their territory?
