Chapter 163 Goblin Intelligence
Baron Longshor, the leader of the South China Sea Pirates, was trapped on Warrior Island because his pirate ship was taken away by the murlocs.
Baron took a few pirates on a small sampan for landing. They wanted to risk paddling the famous boat to escape from Warrior Island.
There were ferocious murlocs hiding around Warrior Island.
The sampan was overturned by the murlocs, and all the people on the boat fell into the sea.
The pirates following Baron barely launched a counterattack against the murlocs in the water, but were all killed by the murlocs.
Baron is a level 4 warrior. As a pirate leader, he is very good at swimming. Even if he falls into the water, he still has good combat effectiveness. Baron stabbed several murlocs with his sword, and was finally captured by Mojimus and the murlocs.
Baron was escorted to Ratchet Town by the murlocs sent by Mojimus. He was taken to the central square of the town, and Poseidon, the murloc mayor, stood in front of him.
"Are you Baron Longshor, the leader of the South China Sea Pirates?" Yang Yi asked.
Baron did not answer. He stood in front of Yang Yi in a daze.
"What is your relationship with Dr. Vivier?" Yang Yi asked again.
When Baron heard Dr. Vivier's name, he suddenly looked up at Yang Yi. The blood-red glasses were completely opaque and blocked his eyes.
"Weird guy," Yang Yi felt even more weird when he saw the glasses Baron was wearing. "There must be something wrong with these glasses. I need to take them over and take a good look."
Yang Yi looked Baron up and down. This middle-aged human looked no different from an ordinary person except for the glasses.
"Take off his glasses." Yang Yi ordered.
Several fishmen rushed forward and rushed to the face of Pirate Baron. Each of them wanted to take off the glasses first to win the credit from Yang Yi.
The glasses he was wearing were pulled hard by the fishmen, but the glasses were rooted in the head of Pirate Baron and could not be taken off.
"Ahh!!!"
Baron wailed loudly, and the wailing sound was more miserable than the slaughter of a pig.
At this time, the fishman captain Mojitov came to the central square of the town with two undead gnolls. The three of them hurried over after hearing the howling of the pirate Baron.
"Mayor, Baron Baron is a good man, please don't kill him." Mojitov begged Yang Yi as soon as he ran over.
"You guys, stop first!" Yang Yi knew that something was wrong when he heard Baron's reaction. The glasses seemed to be connected to Baron. Forcibly taking off the glasses might kill the pirate.
Originally, Yang Yi had no sympathy for this pirate, but he didn't expect Mojitov to come and plead for the leader of the pirate group.
"Mojitov, do you know this human?" "Mayor, Baron Baron was once a naval captain in Gilneas. The three of us learned navigation skills from Baron Baron, and even my name was given by him." Mojitov said.
The two undead gnolls also nodded constantly.
"It turns out that this Baron Baron was once a naval captain in the human kingdom. He taught the murlocs and gnolls navigation techniques, but now he is the leader of a South China Sea pirate group. He is really a weird person." Yang Yi only then knew that the life experience of the leader of this pirate group was quite tortuous.
"Baron Baron, I am Mojitov, do you remember me?" Mojitov walked up to Baron and asked.
Baron held his head, and he looked at Mojitov with his glasses, silent.
Even if there were lenses blocking Baron's glasses, Yang Yi could feel the cold eyes of this pirate, not like seeing an acquaintance.
"Mojitov, was this Baron Baron so taciturn when he was in Gilneas before?" Yang Yi asked.
"Mayor, Baron Baron was not like this before. He was very humorous and liked to joke the most. The sailors in Gilneas said that Baron Baron was a genius naval commander and would definitely become the naval commander of Gilneas in the future." Mojims said.
Yang Yi looked at Baron Baron again. This Baron Baron, who was supposed to have a bright future, did not become the naval commander of Gilneas. Instead, he became the leader of a South China Sea pirate group, and he changed from a humorous and witty person to the cold and ruthless person he is now.
"Ding, a new task is started. Task name: Rescue Baron Langshall."
The prompt sound of the new task opening sounded at this time, and the system gave Yang Yi a new task.
"How could this happen? When I won the building blueprint in the lottery, I got the task of killing Baron Langshall. Why is there another task to rescue him now? If it is to complete both tasks, does it mean to save people first and then kill people?" Yang Yi was speechless. This task system is sometimes really painful.
"Take this human away and put him in solitary confinement."
After hearing the prompt of the new task, Yang Yi asked the fishman to take Baron away, and then he said to Mojitov and the two undead gnolls: "Don't worry, we won't kill him for the time being. You can go back too. This human seems to have a problem, which is why his temperament has changed drastically. Before the problem is solved, he is not the Baron you know."
"Thank you, Mayor." Mojitov and the two undead gnolls kept expressing their gratitude.
After everyone left, Yang Yi took out a white scroll from the mysterious space and opened it.
Quest: Rescue Baron Langshaur
Quest type: Lord quest
Quest requirements: Restore Baron Langshaur's will and rescue him from the state of being controlled by the mind.
Quest reward: [Tutorial: Heroic Throw (Enhanced)]
"It turns out that Baron Baron is controlled by the so-called 'mind control'. No wonder his state is so strange. But how can we restore Baron's will? It must have something to do with those weird glasses." Yang Yi read through the scroll The description understands Balon's current situation, but the scroll does not mention how to rescue Balon.
"Baron is controlled by Dr. Wavell. If Dr. Wavell can be found, there may be a way to restore his will. Try to find a way to inquire about the situation from the aborigines. The adventurers are well-informed. Maybe there will be a doctor on the forum. News about Dr. Weil." Yang Yi thought, the person named Dr. Weil is the only clue at present.
Thinking that there might be news from the adventurers, Yang Yi immediately returned to the town center. He disconnected from the world of Azeroth and came to the forum.
The forum was full of various messages. Yang Yi took some time to search, and he actually found some information about Dr. Weiweier.
Dr. Wavell, a male dwarf, is proficient in psychic attacks and is a powerful dwarf engineer. Known as the greatest evil criminal genius in the world of Azeroth.
"Let me tell you, why did Balon mess with such an awesome guy? Is this mission to rescue Balon another unreliable mission? In this case, let's keep this mission and do it if there is a chance. , don’t force it if you don’t have a chance.”
After Yang Yi learned the information about Dr. Wavell, he immediately gave up the idea of looking for him. After all, this guy is known as the number one criminal genius in Azeroth. Although the enhanced throwing skills rewarded by the mission are good, he has to face The opponent is too strong.
When Yang Yi returned to the world of Azeroth, he had to put aside the task of rescuing Balon, and then he began to perform his duties as the mayor of Ratchet Town.
Yang Yi first took a look at the three Stashaz hydras that were kept in the guardian pool. They were imprisoned by the guardian pool.
The water in the Guardian Pond seems to be very helpful in recovering the injuries of the hydras. The condition of the three hydras that were seriously injured not long ago has improved a lot. The wounds on their bodies have healed, and the big snake heads have also changed from sluggish to energetic. Every day they have to swallow a lot of clam meat and sea fish fed by the murlocs.
Yang Yi asked Ben Bolba and the others to release the Stashaz hydra in the guardian pool in the hope that they would become guardians. This kind of multi-headed snake can spit powerful water arrows, and they have three snake heads. The three snake heads take turns spitting out water arrows like a series of water bombs.
"Although the movement speed of the hydras is not fast enough, the ultra-long range of the water arrows makes up for the shortcomings. Murlocs are not good at using artillery. If these hydras serve as the guardians of Ratchet Town, Ratchet Town will have activities. The biological turret will go a long way in improving Ratchet Town's defense," Yang Yi thought.
The guardians in the guardian pool are different from the battle pets of the hunter profession. They belong to the town they protect, rather than taking orders from the hunter they belong to.
"There are only three hydras in the entire Ratchet Town. This number is not enough. The remaining few guardian pools are still in the air. We must find ways to catch more suitable water creatures to be guardians."
The Guardian Pond has special system effects for imprisoning and taming Guardians, and Yang Yi doesn't know if he can tame these Stashaz hydras. After observing the conditions of the three hydras one by one, I found that these injured hydras were relatively quiet while imprisoned in the Guardian Pool.
After seeing the hydra being placed, Yang Yi went to the dock.
The pier in Ratchet Town has just been upgraded to town level 1. Now the pier is no longer just a few wooden planks on the sea as it looked at the beginning.
The pier has been upgraded three times in succession from the first level, and is now a medium-sized pier with five ship slots.
Ratchet One and a pirate ship were docked at the dock, and Wuxin and another pirate ship were driving slowly near the port.
The murloc captain Mojitov has already arrived here first. He is commanding the murloc sailors on the Wuxin. They are working hard to master the various functions of the Wuxin.
Yang Yi watched the Wuxin sailing and turning around the port. The sailors did not cooperate at all, and the three-masted sailboat seemed a bit clumsy at sea.
As the flagship ship of the pirate group, the Wuxin has a row of portholes for firing artillery on both sides of its hull.
Yang Yi counted and found that there were four portholes on each side, which meant that up to four cannons could be installed on one side.
Normally, these portholes are covered with storm covers to prevent seawater from pouring into the cabin through the portholes. When a naval battle occurs, these wooden covers will be opened, and the gun ports with black holes will be removed from the portholes. Push it out.
Yang Yi had seen the scene where a pirate ship attacked Ratchet One. The shells fired by the artillery at that time did not hit Ratchet One. However, judging from the height of the waves caused by those shells hitting the sea water, it is estimated that the power of these artillery should be pretty good. .
Navigator Talley stood on the bow of the ship with his Snapjaw Turtle. He blocked the sun with his hands and looked into the distance. With his eagle eye skills, he was very suitable for the position of navigator.
"Two ships were found. They are heading towards our Ratchet Town." Talley suddenly shouted loudly, "Looking at the flag, it should be the merchant ship of the goblin captain Grimby."
Yang Yi stood on the dock and heard Talley's voice clearly. He used his eagle eye to look towards the mouth of the bay. Sure enough, it was the merchant ship of the goblin captain Grimby.
Finding that the goblin merchant ship was heading towards Ratchet Town, Mojitov immediately commanded the Heartless to dock.
Mojitov asked: "Mayor, the goblin merchants are coming, what should we do with these pirate ships?"
Yang Yi said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if they see it, there are not enough docks to hide these pirate ships anyway."
Yang Yi did not hide, and took this opportunity to push the origin of the salvaged Theramore Navy ships onto the pirates.
Two goblin merchant ships sailed over and docked at the dock of Ratchet Town, and the goblin ship owner Grimby walked down with several crew members.
This time, the main cargo carried by the two goblin merchant ships was ogre slaves.
For these goblin merchants who only care about money, they dare to do anything as long as they can make money.
Yang Yi was not surprised to learn that the goblin merchant ships were carrying ogre slaves. He knew that these ogres were plundered by pirates from the South China Sea.
A group of strong ogres were driven off the merchant ship by the goblins. There were more than eighty of them in total. Most of them were stupid and didn't know how to resist.
Out of habit, Yang Yi first looked at the eighty ogres with the Lord's Eye and found that they were all Stonemaul ogres. As far as Yang Yi knew, Stonemaul ogres mainly lived in Dustwallow Swamp. Somehow they were captured and sold as slaves.
Yang Yi was not very interested in ogres. There was no shortage of such ugly and greedy large humanoid creatures in Ratchet Town. Although these ogres had brute strength, they were really lacking in intelligence.
Yang Yi shook his head at the goblin ship owner. He didn't plan to spend money to buy these ogre slaves.
The goblin ship owner was very frustrated when he saw that the deal could not be concluded. He looked at the pirate ships, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly said to Yang Yi: "Grimby has an important information to sell to you, about these pirates."
Yang Yi was puzzled: "About pirates? What information?"
The goblin ship owner made a gesture of counting gold coins: "50 gold coins, more than 80 ogre slaves on the two ships will be sold to you."
At the beginning, Yang Yi spent 5 gold coins to buy more than 50 kobold slaves. Even if the ogre slaves were more expensive than the kobold slaves, they were not worth the price.
Compared with 50 gold coins, Yang Yi was more concerned about the intelligence about pirates that the goblin captain said. He said, "Only intelligence is useful. We bought all these ogre slaves."
The goblin captain smiled, as if 50 golden coins had already entered his pocket. He said, "According to intelligence, Captain Jiawei and his pirate group began to frequently appear on the coasts of various places in the South China Sea some time ago. Jiawei's pirate group is much stronger than Baron's, and his pirate ships are equipped with thick armor on the hull and bottom of the ship. It's not easy for you fishmen to deal with it."
"So what?"
"Grimby is said to be very close to Captain Baron and seems to be plotting this big thing."
"How many pirate ships does that Jiawei have?"
"At least ten."
After listening to the intelligence of the goblin captain, Yang Yi did not comment. He asked someone to fetch 50 gold coins for the goblin captain, and the more than 80 ogre slaves were left behind. .
