Chapter 1343 The Broken Car Choked on Five People
The noise of the steam car is very loud, puff puff chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi.
The speed is not fast, just about forty miles.
It's still very bumpy, of course, it's also related to the bad road conditions. In this era when gravel roads are the mainstream, it is normal for the road surface to be uneven, especially in late autumn with heavy humidity and rain, and mud is also a common situation on the road.
The road is bad, the car is broken, and the driver, Sacco, looks a bit stinky. Because the car is his.
Kane can fully understand Sacco's sense of superiority and pride.
After all, for a young orc to have his own steam car is like having someone drive a broken jeep in an era when most people rode bicycles.
This is not only about having money, but also having power or channels.
Sacco is the latter, his father is a senior technician, and his grandfather is also a senior technician, the kind who hang out with dwarves.
Afterwards, he has also been influenced by his ears and eyes since he was a child, and passed the qualification certification of an assistant technician at a young age. For half-orcs, this is almost equivalent to being born in a poor country, and he was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
So Sacco does have the capital of stinky fart, not just because of a steam car that I don't know how many hands it is.
And he and Olaf, the half-orc kid whom Kane suspected to be the child of destiny, were young. The kind of friendship between the father's life and the son's life.
From this, it is not difficult to speculate that Olaf's life experience is not simple. After all, birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. The three generations of Thresh are all rare craftsmen among half-orcs. The coolie class has interaction, and it is difficult to form a deep friendship.
It can even be said that even if it is the grace of saving lives, if the social status is very different, they will gradually drift apart due to the lack of common topics.
So while Olaf was careful to protect his privacy, Shaco was a little bit more showy, especially when the topic tickled him.
So the inadvertent information disclosure made Kane gain quickly.
This is naturally helpful for him to get along well with Destiny's Child.
Moreover, Kane also paid attention to propriety, and did not use magic spells to achieve his goal.
Although he is strong, he is able to override the will of the entire world and take what he can from the Child of Destiny. But the final result of that would probably be that Destiny's Child was abandoned by the world.
This is what he doesn't want to see, and he still hopes that the child of destiny will point out the way, so as to join the ranks of the trendy people of the times.
He believes that not only can he not interfere domineeringly, but he can't even provide too much convenience.
Toil his muscles and bones, starve his skin, and empty his body...
This set is often the standard configuration of Destiny's Child.
Especially in the early days, it is through these honings that we can wash away the sand and see the real gold.
"By the way, Brooks, where is your destination?"
The one who asked Kane was the male half-orc Groom who had whispered to Kane before.
Although they were friends, Kane keenly discovered that Groom's role in this small team was Sacco's follower.
But the actual status is stronger than that of the follower, because the beautiful female half-orc Yakali is his younger sister.
As far as appearance is concerned, Groom is not inferior to his sister. He belongs to the type whose name influence is greatly different from his actual image.
But Kane believes that Groom is more depressed than proud of his handsome face, because his beauty belongs to the feminine beauty, not to mention the half-orc group, even in the human group, this type of beauty It is also easy to be called a 'sissy', and only among the blood elves, there is a market for such beauty.
The problem is that Groom did not acquire the intellectual, refined, or proud temperament that is common to blood elf men because of his growing environment. His temperament is very vulgar.
To use a more vicious metaphor, if he dressed up as a woman and went to stand on the street with Yakali, then in the seriousness of the old driver, Yakali would be the kind of inexperienced high-end goods, who can earn money even if he sleeps until he sleeps.
He is an old bus who has been suspected of playing bad again. He can get on the bus, but he has to be careful.
Kane could tell that Olaf didn't like Groom too much.
Groom's relationship with Olaf is only superficially passable, that is, the kind of plot of "for Sakho's sake, I don't care about you".
From this perspective, Sacco is not like the son of a craftsman, but more like the son of a merchant. In addition to talking and showing off, he also plays social games very smoothly, successfully acting as a lubricant between Sacco and Olaf. Potion, and can make three people including Yakali appreciate him.
If it weren't for Kane who is more inclined to Destiny's Child, it should be the type of character that is usually low-key and can always perform above the level at critical moments. He will inevitably suspect that Sacco is Destiny's Child. Like Liu Xiu, he is particularly good at viewing and employing people. Awesome character.
And Yakali, in Kane's eyes, is a typical beauty.
Externally, Yakali's appearance, coupled with the fact that half-orcs are generally discriminated against, can easily cause trouble.
Internally, Yakali obviously likes Olaf more, but she also enjoys Shaco's thoughtfulness and always being able to create topics, but the travel is not so boring and talkative.
In Kane's view, everything is a hidden danger, but there is no way to say what is wrong. After all, Yakali is also a young girl with no experience. It is not her fault that she is beautiful. She likes beautiful things and likes to follow her feelings , is also a common characteristic of girls of this age, how can you force her to act like a person who understands that the relationship between the sexes is the most taboo, and should be selected in time, so as not to give the rest hope and the opportunity to make mistakes What is the importance?
Anyway, in Kane's view, just because of this Yakali, this small group has already booked tickets for internal and external troubles, and then added adventure elements, magic elements, and the script frame of the road movie with entanglement of grievances and grievances. up.
"I'm going to the Wilgow Hills." Kane said such an answer, which is also a bet. Bet that Ovra and his party are not going to the Elwynn Forest area.
Although there are many large towns there, people are generally more enlightened, and they are relatively more friendly to half-orcs, but it is unlikely to be the destination of Olaf and the others.
Because of Olaf's melancholy and lack of interest in sightseeing and chatting, it shows that they have something to do, rather than an ordinary, half-rogue, half-play trip for young people.
Moreover, according to Kane's profile analysis of Olaf, Olaf's sullenness is by no means caused by unpleasant interactions with the locals in Lakeside Town.
Olaf is not that stingy, and won't affect his mood too much because of such things, not to mention that what they encountered in Lakeside Town was only some verbal discrimination. They were all said to be people who were out of their hometown, let alone half-orcs, or ordinary travelers. There is absolutely no low psychological estimate for this kind of problem, so how can you get angry?
After making such a judgment, Kane believes that it is not a good thing or a good place to further speculate on the purpose and destination of Olaf's trip.
Olaf's sullen unhappiness came not only from the tasks to be done, but also from his sense of responsibility to the rest of the small group.
Taking all of this as background information, Kane analyzed it again, and concluded that the final destination of Olaf's alien is the most likely to be the Twilight Forest area.
If it is further away, such as going to Stranglethorn Valley, then it should not be by car, but by airship.
The Cursed Land and the Swamp of Sorrows are also not suitable for driving, mainly because these places are dangerous. The Deadwind Pass area where Medivh's Tower Karazhan is located is a dangerous pass. The road is dangerous, and the haunted creatures are also dangerous. Hordes of ogres are entrenched. It is said that there are even demons left over from the time of Legion.
Therefore, if you are going to the Swamp of Sorrows or the Land of the Cursed, Olaf and his four-person gang are a bit out of date, especially Yakali. Could it be possible to cheer on the sidelines when encountering evil people and evil things?
It is precisely because of these considerations that Kane believes that the place where Olaf and the others are most likely to go is the Twilight Forest area.
Although it can also be called the rear of the Stormwind Kingdom, due to frequent disasters and wars, a large number of people have been transferred, so that the rear is empty, and all kinds of bad things have been taken advantage of.
Red Ridge Mountain was taken advantage of by the forces of Black Rock Mountain led by Nefarian, and it became a place to breed black dragonlings and hybrid dragons.
The Twilight Forest, on the other hand, is eroded by darkness, making it even more mysterious and gloomy.
Although according to the latest news, this happened hundreds of years ago. Later, the Stormwind Kingdom slowed down and vigorously rectified it.
After several generations of hard work, the undead creatures in the Tranquil Garden Tomb area have been completely eradicated; the werewolves entrenched in the Rotten Orchard area have also been hunted down; Even the Crow Ridge cemetery, which is the most troublesome and almost brews a catastrophe, has become the real back garden of life and the habitat of the soul.
Kane knows, however, that the power of darkness is difficult to govern and even more difficult to eradicate. The environmental characteristics of the Twilight Forest determine that darkness is easy to breed there.
Darkness is not only hiding in the dark corners of the room, accumulating power in the depths of the outdoor jungle, but also dormant in the depths of the heart.
Also, Darkness is super patient.
Therefore, Kane has reason to believe that in today's Twilight Forest area, under the seemingly peaceful surface, there is already a deadly undercurrent surging.
So, Groom asked, he reported the name of Raven Ridge, and he really planned to go there.
Destiny's Child doesn't need the care of the Virgin, and he won't find an excuse to pester him endlessly.
What he arranged for himself was the kind of drama that "fate made us separate and meet again". When he left, he would pay attention to it silently, and then reappear at an appropriate time, and the relationship deepened.
On the contrary, even if he didn't think he was plotting something, he would still be annoyed by this kind of sticky plaster that couldn't be shaken off.
Sure enough, when he said 'I'm going to Crow Ridge', Groom said 'tsk! ’ voice, glanced at Olaf next to him, and stopped talking.
And Olaf took over the conversation and said: "We go to Jugen Town, theoretically we will go the same way with you all the way, but we have some special secrets, it is not convenient to take you all the way, the farthest we can only send you to Night City."
Kane replied with a smile: "If it's inconvenient, just take me to Sanchakou. I can take a boat along the dark river to the west, and then enter from the north of Crow Ridge."
Upon hearing the words, Groom rushed to respond: "This idea is good. Taking a boat is better than taking a car. You don't suffer from bumps and the journey is safe."
Kane was still laughing, but didn't answer.
Olaf shook his head, and said to Kane sincerely: "Let me tell you what I know. If it offends you, please don't be angry. You have the right to refer to it. As far as I know, Crow Ridge was a long time ago. It’s named. Now it’s called Ping’an Town.”
After a pause, Olaf continued: "Ping'an Town, it's not safe. One of my comrades-in-arms, who is from Ping'an Town in Twilight Forest, had an accident at home, rushed back, and never returned to the team. I have no right to investigate relevant information. But it is certain that it is not an ordinary incident. Because the comrade-in-arms had a close relationship with some of us before he left, so he let us know a little bit."
Olaf continued: "North of Ping'an Town, there is a huge cemetery area. I believe you should have a certain understanding of it. It started as a funeral industry and is very famous. Even many people in Stormwind City, I am willing to send my deceased relatives to be buried there. Until now, the Ping An Cemetery is the largest cemetery in the kingdom."
"In the era of frequent wars, the rear was empty. Terrible things happened there, and then it was rectified vigorously. But in recent years, there have been frequent bad news such as disappearances, special diseases, and attacks by ferocious beasts. And the cemetery area The north, all the way to the Dark River, is an inaccessible and desolate area, and for safety reasons, I don’t recommend disembarking there.”
"If you have to take a boat, I suggest you take a detour and sail to the junction of the Dark River and the Nushui River, go up the river, and then go south from the town of Motvik to Crow Ridge along the mainland. It will take two more days , but safe."
"Or, taking a long-distance bus from Yese City is actually not bad. I heard that the people of Yese City, due to historical reasons, are relatively open-minded and open, and are not so hostile to outsiders, including our family. And Sanchakou..."
Olaf shook his head and said meaningfully: "Drivers and boaters, you have to be careful, especially a traveler like you who is on the road alone."
Kane said with a smile: "Even in our family, there are not many kind people like you these days. I am lucky to meet you. As the saying goes, listen to people and eat well. I Listen to you, go to Night City, and then take a long-distance bus."
Groom, who was separated from Olaf, curled his lips on the other side of the carriage, and muttered again: "Tch! Why are you pretending to be old-fashioned!"
In fact, he wanted Kane, an outsider, to leave as soon as possible. However, in his small gang, his right to speak is not very good. On outsiders who are not pleasing to the eye.
So I just picked a thorn in my mouth.
It's also Kane's fault, he has been in the position for a long time, and before he knew it, his words took on a commentary tone. What are you talking about, people are not old-fashioned these days, and I don’t even look at how old he is playing. He speaks old-fashioned at a young age, doesn’t he seem to be pretending.
Olaf heard some of Groom's mutterings, and didn't say anything, but he made another note in his heart. He hates this kind of person who can only talk about small things. Sacco, who was driving, showed a thoughtful expression, and then sensed the gaze from the side, so he turned his head, put on a gentle smile, and asked considerately: "How about it, do you want to take a breath? After a while the sun will go down completely, I guess you won't be interested in getting out of the car..."
