Chapter 356 [Become the confidant of the desert troll queen? 】
When Tonatiu arrived at the Zandalar Islands, half a month had passed since he set off from Zutiu.
In the middle, we deviated a little from the route and ended up above Azsuna. Then we eagerly headed south from there, taking some unnecessary steps.
If everything goes smoothly, at Lulu's current flying speed, it may take about 10 to 12 days to reach Zandalar from Zutiu.
I have to say that Nergigante flies very fast. If you take a boat, it will take more than a month.
The last time he came to Zandalar, Tonatiu was accompanied by Lal, the witchcraft lord, and stopped at the dock in the lower city.
This time he flew over from the air, and for a moment he didn't know where he should land.
He remembered that there were many pterodactyl guards in the sky of Dazar'alor. If he wanted to pass here from the sky, he would definitely be blocked by them.
Tonatiu just wanted to pass by and didn't want to cause trouble or conflict with the Zandalari trolls.
The best situation is to contact the desert trolls in the consulate area and contact Zakaze.
The smart and flexible young desert troll should be able to arrange everything for him.
But what he has to do now is how to get through these layers of barriers and reach the consulate area.
He was struggling to stop on the sea outside Zandalar, looking at the Zandalar dock under the light rain in the endless sea storm that finally became smaller.
At some point, a large, inconspicuous ship had arrived below him.
When he discovered it, a petite figure floated up on the boat and floated towards him.
Tonatiu's eyes narrowed.
It was discovered that it was actually Sara Proudmoore, who was currently employed by the desert trolls as captain of the fleet and temporarily served as the trolls' trade director.
"His Majesty……"
Sara used magic to float in front of Nergigante, her eyes looked around him, wondering why Xiaoyu avoided him.
"Prophet of the Zandalari Trolls. Let me wait for you here, saying that you will probably arrive today." After she withdrew her curious gaze, she said to Tonatiu: "I have been waiting for you here for a long time.
I didn’t expect you to actually come. That prophet can really foresee the future!”
"Zul?" Tonatiu said with a frown.
"By the way, why are you here? I heard Woyamba say that you took the fleet to the eastern continent."
"I have returned from Dalaran." Sara said with some credit. "Your Majesty, I have earned at least 50,000 Dalaran gold coins for you on this trip! You don't know how popular the desert's output is with humans.
!A desert crawler skin is only worth a pound of low-quality rum in Tanaris! On the human side, there are many nobles and businessmen willing to spend hundreds of times the price to buy such a skin.
Leather shoes, belts and bags!”
"Forehead……"
Tonatiu looked at Sara who was talking about business, and thought of Fitz saying that she sent pearls to Modera.
It is possible that as one of the princesses of the human kingdom, Sara and Modera knew each other.
Otherwise, she would volunteer to go to Dalaran to deliver goods. You must know that the most suitable place to do business with humans is the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Lordaeron is close to the sea, has a vast territory, and its people are wealthy. The new king Terenas Menethil is said to be a very enlightened king, and even allows some foreign merchants to do business in his land.
Although Gilgenis is also close to the sea, it is far less wealthy than Lordaeron, and the king also rejects foreign races.
The other northern human kingdoms are basically not close to the sea, and there is almost no maritime trade.
They all rely on the maritime trade of Kul Tiras...
As for the human kingdom in the south, the Kingdom of Stormwind. They are so poor that even human merchants are unwilling to do business there, so ocean traders rarely go there.
It is said that the Kingdom of Stormwind was originally founded by a group of nobles who could not survive in the north and brought a group of peasants who had no property in the north to establish the kingdom south.
Not that some of the nobles who went south have the blood of Emperor Arathor, such as the family of Sir Lothar, but the human kingdoms in the north are not even willing to recognize the establishment and independence of the Kingdom of Stormwind.
Can a kingdom that is forced by the gnolls to ask for help from the northern kingdoms be called a kingdom?
So during this period, the Kingdom of Stormwind on the human side in the north was synonymous with country bumpkins and poor people.
Things are changing, but unfortunately it has not yet turned to the Wrynn family.
These are the things that the chairman of Hot Sand talked about when chatting with Tonatiu about maritime trade, and related to business in the human kingdom.
Sara gave up the most popular Kingdom of Lordaeron and Kul Tiras and ran to do business with Dalaran.
Apparently it has something to do with Modera.
Tonatiu didn't tell her that Modera needed some support in Dalaran.
She said that almost all the archmages of Dalaran have the support of other human kingdoms, both covertly and covertly.
Dalaran is actually the permanent neutral and liaison country of the human kingdom, and it is the place where the political conflicts in the human kingdom are most intense.
Modera wanted to gain a foothold in Dalaran. Being born in Dalaran, the only way for her, besides making good friends with some human kingdoms, was to help her.
The trolls are a foreign race to humans and Dalaran, so the only way to help them is through trade.
"You did a good job." After thinking about it, Tonatiu praised Sara. "It was the right choice to choose you as my minister of maritime trade. I hope you can continue your efforts. There will always be desert trolls here.
A place for you and the humans who follow you!”
"Thank you!" Sarah said sincerely.
God knows what a hot land of trade Tanaris is to her now!
Sarah, who advocates freedom by nature, loves the ocean, and loves doing business, is unwilling to be constrained by palace life, and is unwilling to go to the southern kingdom to become her crown princess and future princess.
Only then did he boldly run away from home, taking with him a small part of the Proudmoore family's strength.
Her best idea for her future was to build her own business kingdom on the sea by relying on her sailing and business talents.
In the end, she will return to Kul Tiras in glory, or she will gather people to open up her territory overseas.
Just like the group of human ancestors who went to colonize the Kul Tiras Islands!
But I didn't expect that the beautiful idea had not yet begun. I was unlucky enough to encounter a big storm at sea, and was almost sucked into the maelstrom and died.
In the end, she relied on the skills she had learned during the three years she lived in Dalaran, which she disliked the most, and by consuming a precious epic staff and paying the price of almost dying, she and the sailors who were willing to follow her were separated.
Send them out.
When her life was in danger, fortunately, she had a part of Druid blood in her body, which triggered the transformation spell, allowing her to transform into the aquatic form of Drust Druid. She drifted in the sea for two days, and was finally fished by Tonatiu.
, saved her life.
What happened next was natural. Sarah was grateful to Tonatiu for saving her life. In addition, the ship and sailors were destroyed, and she was seriously injured without any capital.
He could only follow Tonatiu, step by step, and inexplicably become the Minister of Ocean Trade of the Desert Troll...
For a new life.
Sarah Proudmoore was satisfied.
First of all, she obtained resources that she had never had before, an entire region, and the maritime trade needs of an entire race!
Secondly, Tonatiu was willing to believe her. He gave her a few ships and asked her original sailors who had narrowly escaped death to continue to follow her.
At the same time, the Troll King promised that 10% of the profits she and her fleet earned for the trolls would belong to her and her sailors.
The troll navy will also protect her and her fleet, coupled with the Zandalar navy's generally friendly attitude towards the desert trolls.
Sara has obtained the convenience and resources of sea passage that no one in Kul Tiras has obtained in the past.
The life-saving grace plus these are enough for Sara to work conscientiously for the trolls for at least ten years. We will talk about the rest later.
Although I don’t know why the desert trolls are so friendly to humans, other trolls, even the Zandalar trolls, have very bad attitudes towards humans.
Especially the forest trolls...
When she later heard that the Troll King had a human mate, she thought it might be related to the Troll King's bizarre views on mate selection.
Then, she was even more surprised when she heard that the troll king's consort was also an archmage of Dalaran.
Until later, when she found out that the name of this human archmage was Modera, and she was her junior sister.
Sarah Proudmoore couldn't be more surprised.
She, the princess of Kul Tiras and the princess of the Proudmoore family, studied in Dalaran for three years.
The mentor was also Master Antonidas, who had not yet become the leader of Dalaran at that time!
Sara quickly contacted Modera, and with this relationship, she and the humans under her finally felt at ease with the desert trolls.
It is said that the troll king loved his human consort so much that he even named an important troll city after her.
Although it is strange and seems strange to Sara and her sailors, there is no doubt that a human woman is very likely to become the queen of the trolls.
They, the only humans in the troll kingdom, are very likely to become the troll queen's confidants, one of the forces she trusts and relies on.
So, what else is there to worry about? Although it is strange for humans to live among the trolls, the mysterious elves and these trolls can live together in harmony, and the elves are still their teachers.
Among the group of trolls, there were a group of human merchants and human sailors, which didn't seem so strange anymore.
Listening to Tonatiu's praise, he could be praised by this powerful troll, maybe even a demigod.
She was still a little happy.
The princess of the Proudmoore family smiled reservedly, "Thank you for your compliment. I will do better and I will definitely live up to your trust in us."
Tonatiu didn't know what she was going through during this period of time. He always believed in trusting people without trusting others.
With enough profit kidnapping and a certain amount of emotional investment, if betrayers can still be found in this way, it can only be said that the price for their betrayal is higher than what he paid.
Then there's nothing to say.
Others give more than his emotional and profit investment. Betrayal is understandable, this is the reality of Azeroth.
Loyalty Max cannot fix the game from falling.
"Why did Zul ask you to wait for me here?" Tonatiu asked her patiently after she had finished her insistence on being modest.
"The prophet of Zandalari didn't say that," Sara replied. "He just asked me to wait for you here. Then he asked you to take this ship and go to the place he arranged."
"Do you know where it is?" Tonatiu asked.
"I know. Otherwise, how would I go?" Sara said excitedly.
"The place where the troll prophet asked us to go is actually the main military port of the Zandalar Navy! I didn't expect that I, a human from Kul Tiras, could actually go to the military port of the strongest enemy on the sea..."
