A city stands in the sky full of yellow sand. With its thin earthen walls, it is easy for people to think that it is not a city, but at most a relatively large town.
The city is not big. It was only established about ten years ago. There was only a small group of goblins here at first. As the goblins gathered, it slowly started to look like a city.
With development now, it has become the largest city in the southern part of the continent of Kalimdor, and there is a port not far away.
Many desperate pirates who were hunted in the waters near Azeroth, and many desperate characters who were on the run, chose to hide in the ends of the world.
This city is called Gadgetzan.
Gadgetzan Gate.
Two goblin guards faced the scorching sun, holding muskets and guarding aimlessly.
"Say, boss. Will anyone really come to fight Gadgetzan? I heard that although there are some bandits in the desert, do they dare to come?"
"Shut up! Aren't there still trolls?!"
"Why did the trolls come to beat us? If they beat us, they won't even be able to eat salt if they want to!"
"Shut up. If you don't want to stay here, then go back and resign. Who said we don't have smart heads, can't do business, and can't invent!"
"Boss, I was wrong..."
"Kirby, maybe I can report what you just said to the big shots in the group! That way, you can get a discount on your salary next month, so don't blame me."
"Boss, you can't do this."
"Then just stay tuned and I'll go in and have a beer! If you have any questions, call me!"
"Okay, boss. You can drink as much as you like! If possible, can you give me a drink too? If beer is not enough, iced watermelon juice is no problem!"
"You only deserve to drink my foot wash! Do you know how much beer and ice-cold watermelon juice cost?! Unless you pay, what are you thinking?!"
"Boss, don't do this! Your salary is twice as much as mine! I'll pay you next time!"
"I'd better go report what you just said to the group!"
"No, no, no! Boss, I was wrong!"
"snort!"
"..."
Just as one of the goblin guards turned around to enter Gadgetzan, the swollen green eyes of the other goblin guard suddenly condensed.
"Boss, maybe you have to wait a while before you can go in and have a beer."
"Kirby! I'm fed up with you. I'm going to apply to my supervisor to transfer you to another place!"
"No, no, no...Boss, I won't give you a beer. Look over there. Is there a big bird flying over?"
"If you dare to lie to me, you're dead, Kirby!"
after awhile.
"It seems like someone is really coming. Or in the direction of the desert. What is that? A big bird? There seems to be a figure shaking on the big bird?! Hey, there are no such big birds in the desert!"
"Yes, boss. I don't think Vulture and Fengpeng are that big either!"
"Kirby! Go in and report to the supervisor immediately, but don't be too nervous. It's just a big bird, not a giant dragon. There are 1,000 ways to kill it in Gadgetzan."
"As you command, boss."
"..."
When Tonatiu, riding a huge wind god pterosaur, fell from the sky with Modera in his arms.
At the gate of the desert city, there were already a dozen goblin guards and a goblin supervisor waiting for them.
"Oh? My friends, welcome to Gadgetzan! Are you from the desert?!"
A goblin supervisor, supported by several guards, stepped out from the crowd and spoke loudly in standard troll language.
Tonatiu was covered in dust, and Modera was much better covered in a cloak. The Wind God Pterodactyl behind him was so hot that it looked limp and ready to collapse at any moment.
On the contrary, it was an ugly and ferocious muscular little black dragon, but it was in very good condition. Lulu sneezed lively and stared condescendingly at the goblins, as if assessing whether the meat of these little green-skinned beasts was delicious.
The look in its eyes made several of the goblins take a step back and tighten their grip on the muskets in their hands.
Tonatiu did not answer immediately, he and Modera whispered something.
Modera nodded and moved away from him. After standing firm, under the gaze of the goblins, she stretched out a small hand from her cloak and gently pointed at the Aeolus Winged Dragon.
I didn't hear her chanting a spell or see any movement on her hands. The blue light on the head of the Fengshen Pterodactyl converged, and the next moment a large ball of water appeared and hit it.
Amidst the sound of rushing water.
The pterodactyl, which was so hot that it pulled out its tongue like a dog, showed an ecstasy expression when it was submerged in the water, looking like it was enjoying the cold water bath.
Only after Modera was unable to adapt to the desert climate and her mount was dying from the heat did Tonatiu want to talk to the goblin.
The goblin supervisor grunted and shouted: "Oh my god! You are wasting money! Such good water! It is worth at least several gold coins! Oh my god! An archmage?! Man, have you ever thought about staying in Gaki?
Sen?! Your magic will make you a lot of money!"
The person the goblin manager faced was Modera. Modera ignored him and walked back to Tonatiu quietly.
"Man! Gadgetzan needs talents like you very much! You will make a lot of money, shiny gold..."
"Ahem~"
Tonatiu interrupted the goblin director's chatter.
"We are travelers from the desert. Can we go into the city to have a rest?"
The goblin supervisor's greedy eyes passed over the clear water dripping from the Fengshen Pterosaur, and his voice became smooth and sharp again, "Oh! My friends, of course there is no problem! As long as you have money! Well... Gadgetzan enters the city
The fee is one silver coin for each person! We accept silver coins from humans as well as silver coins from elves!”
"Of course! Those Amani silver coins, Gurubashi silver coins, and Zul'Farrak silver coins you trolls used to have are no problem! Anyway, as long as they are silver coins, Gadgetzan will accept anyone who comes!"
"You two, and two pets! According to the regulations, you have to pay 4 silver coins! But this big guy is too big, it has to pay an extra silver coin! So you have to pay a total of 5 silver coins for the entrance fee!"
Tonatiu frowned.
This was a bit difficult for him. Where did he get the silver coins? He did have a bunch of Aztec currency with him, but obviously it was not widely used yet.
At this time.
Modera threw her little hand under her cloak, and five small baubles that shone in the sun were thrown over.
The goblin supervisor hurriedly took it, held it in his hand for appraisal, and put one in his mouth and bit it, with a satisfied expression on his ugly and hairy face.
"Wow! A Dalaran silver coin in perfect condition! It's the latest Antonidas silver coin! It's full of silver! That's why I like to trade with you wizards the most!"
