Chapter 167: Surrender of Pirates

Yang Yi did not stay for long. He followed the captain's instructions to find the "little mute".

"Little mute" was the little fishman seedling that Yang Yi had accidentally encountered in a shellfish farm. Now this fishman seedling has grown into a little fishman. She is the key to Yang Yi's pearl farming.

In human society, it is inappropriate to call someone by his physical defects, but this is common in the fishman society. "Blind", "Rotten Cheeks", "Broken Fins", etc. are all common fishman names.

Yang Yi used to hang out on the streets. He didn't think it was uncivilized or impolite to have such a nickname, so he always followed the local customs and called himself "little mute".

After wading along the cliff beach for a while, Yang Yi saw the little mute under a steep cliff. The little fishman was busy digging small clam shells on the mudflats under the cliff with a few fishman laborers.

The area of ​​the beach under the cliff is less than one acre, and the mud and sand of the beach are mostly gray and mottled. Yang Yi knew at a glance that the yield of small clam shells would not be high.

There is no way. Even if Yang Yi has been doing his best to open up the shellfish farm, the output of clam meat is still not enough to supply all the murlocs in Ratchet Town. Most of the murlocs still have to rely on eating seaweed for preserved fruits.

So even if it is such a barren beach, Ratchet Town has made use of it. Every piece of clam meat is a piece.

A team of patrolling murlocs was sent to protect the little mute and his team. The team leader is a murloc tidewalker.

A patrolling murloc in charge of vigilance first saw the arrival of Yang Yi and his big turtle. Yang Yi's big turtle is too conspicuous.

"Oh no, the mayor is here!" The patrolling murloc immediately shouted in panic to call the police after seeing Yang Yi and his mount, the big turtle.

Unfortunately, this patrolling murloc is also a common type of murloc with a slow mind. He shouted so loudly that even Yang Yi, who was coming from a distance, could hear it clearly.

Yang Yi's face darkened when he heard the shouts of the patrol fishman. What does "Oh no, the mayor is here" mean? This lord is not a fierce monster, it's good to be kind and friendly.

"This group of fishmen must be doing something sneaky again! Look, this lord will catch you and seize the stolen goods."

Yang Yi patted the turtle's back to speed up the big turtle.

The big turtle was very obedient. It directly knocked down the patrol fishman and rushed into the mudflats of the breeding farm.

The big turtle was huge, and the sudden high-speed sprint and emergency brakes caused mud to splash everywhere, and the fishmen were embarrassed one by one.

"Ah! Town, mayor." The fishmen panicked.

Sure enough, this group of fishmen were stealing clam meat just now.

After seeing Yang Yi, several fishmen quickly opened their hands left and right, stuffed the clam meat into their mouths in a few seconds, and swallowed it without chewing.

The poor one was the only underage fishman present, Little Mute. His throat was not big enough, and he could not swallow the clam meat in his mouth. His cheeks were bulging like a goldfish face.

"You are so brave, and you are stealing food together. Go back to Ratchet Town immediately and see how I will deal with you." Yang Yi was angry. These fishmen could not be managed properly.

Yang Yi's words were the most important. After hearing his words, these fishmen hung their heads and went back to Ratchet Town obediently.

Little Mute also went back with these fishmen, and she could not swallow the clam meat in her mouth. She walked with her little feet, supported her bulging cheeks, and followed behind slowly.

Yang Yi looked at the funny back of Little Mute, who took one deep step and one shallow step. He looked at Little Mute with the Lord's Eye.

[Name]: Little Murloc

[Qualification]: C

[Level]: Level 1 Jewel Processor

[Race]: Long Beach Murloc

[Gender]: Female

[Abilities]: Life (Jewel Processing 9/10)

[Expertise]: Perceiving Pearls, Dexterous Hands, Making Jewelry

[Alignment]: Ratchet Village

[Attitude]: Worship (Murloc Lord)

Little Mute is a rare Murloc talent, especially her expertise in perceiving pearls. It is because of her expertise that Ratchet Town can find pearls in shells without prying them open, and it is based on this that they can try to cultivate pearls.

"Ratchet Village can't go on like this, and see another Murloc talent being led astray."

Yang Yi sighed. Murlocs grew up like orphans without parents when they were young.

How high can the quality of Murlocs be? Being lazy at work and stealing food are common. Little Murlocs follow suit, and it is a luxury to expect the new generation of Murlocs to improve greatly under such circumstances.

"What should I do?" Yang Yi's big fishman hand grabbed the big fishman's head, but still couldn't think of a solution.

"Boss, where should we go now?" Seeing Yang Yi holding his head and not speaking, Benbolba knew that Yang Yi was worried, so he asked.

"Oh," Yang Yi looked and saw that the little mute and the others had already gone far away, "Nowhere to go, back to Ratchet Town."

Yang Yi took the little fishmen back to Ratchet Town.

At this time, there were two groups of people standing in the central square of Ratchet Town.

One group was the little mute and the others who were caught by Yang Yi for stealing food and were waiting to be punished in the square; the other group was watched by Mojitov and the fighting fishmen. They were pirates who came out of prison and "voluntarily" wanted to be fishman slaves.

Yang Yi stood on the platform in the center of the town, looking down at the pirates and fishmen below.

"Mayor, except for one pirate, all the others have come out." Mojitov was the first to report the situation to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi made a rough calculation and found that there were indeed more than 40 pirates in the square. It seemed that Mojitov had completed the task assigned to him very well.

"Well done, there is a reward." Yang Yi never hesitated to reward the fishmen who could complete the tasks he assigned.

"Who is the leader among you pirates? Stand up." Yang Yi asked.

"Mercury master, I! It's me! My name is Mask, and I am the first mate on the ship." The male human with messy hair quickly squeezed through the crowd and stood up, then immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"The first mate on the ship? Where is your captain?"

Yang Yi remembered that at the beginning, Ratchet Town sank a pirate ship that bombarded Ratchet No. 1. Most of the pirates on that pirate ship were captured by the fishmen. Did the captain die after falling into the water?

"Mercury master, the captain is still in prison and has not come out."

"I didn't expect your captain to be so strong-willed. What's his name?" Yang Yi didn't expect that there was such a strong-willed captain under Lang Shaoer, and he couldn't help but be curious.

"Report to the fishman master, the captain's name is Caitlin, and she's a woman."

No wonder Yang Yi found that the female human who liked to quarrel with Musk was gone. It turned out that she was still in prison, and she was the captain.

"Musk, now there is a task for you. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you don't do well, you will be in trouble." Yang Yi's tone suddenly became serious.

"Musk will definitely do it well, and will definitely complete the task, and will definitely..." Musk was terrified and kowtowed continuously.

"There are still your former accomplices on Warrior Island. Those pirates will only starve to death if they stay on the island. I will ask you to take people to bring them all back."

"Yes, yes, fishman master. Musk is willing to recruit them. The fishman master has pity and is worried that they will starve to death. They will definitely be willing to work for the fishman master."

Yang Yi nodded slightly when he heard this, thinking that humans are still sensible, flattering, and knowing how to guess people's intentions.

"Okay, Mojitov, you go and arrange this. Go to Warrior Island by boat, and let Mojimus come to pick you up there." Yang Yi gave the task to Mojitov again.

Mojimus is still guarding Warrior Island, not letting any pirates escape across the sea.

Mojitov left with Mask, and the other pirates were arranged to go on the warship. Only the little mute and others were left in the square waiting for the punished fishmen.

More fishmen who stayed in Ratchet Town gathered around, especially those little fishmen who loved to join in the fun.

"You, you stole clam meat while working. Do you know how big a mistake this is? Do you know? Obeying the law is the obligation of every one of us fishmen, do you know..." Yang Yi pointed at the offending fishmen who stole the food collectively, "The prison is just empty now, you go in and reflect first. If you do something wrong, you must be punished."

Seeing so many fishmen gathered around, Yang Yi wanted to hold a public trial to promote it to other fishmen in the town and let them understand the importance of abiding by the law.

Later, Yang Yi thought about it and didn't remember much except for a few slogans painted on the walls on the street. This public legal system propaganda should be carried out next time.

However, it is necessary to distinguish between rewards and punishments, so Yang Yi put all the offending fishmen in prison, even the rare talent Little Dumb was no exception.

Yang Yi arranged both things. He originally wanted to go to the prison to see the female human named Caitlin.

Although Caitlin went against Yang Yi's wishes, Yang Yi was more interested in this kind of backbone pirate. He didn't like the fence-sitter Musk.

Yang Yi didn't expect that the captain of the pirate group was quite backbone. In his eyes, this is how you should be when you are out there.

Before Yang Yi had time to go to the prison, a patrol fishman ran over.

"Mayor, a letter."

The patrol fishman held up a piece of animal skin paper.

Yang Yi took the animal skin paper and saw that it was sent by the old blind man from the Dead Water Village in the Dead Water Oasis.

There were only a few words on the letter paper. The construction of the Deadwater Murloc Village in Deadwater Oasis had encountered troubles. It was said that foreign humans were causing trouble.

After reading the letter, Yang Yi thought that the construction of Deadwater Village was racing against time. The first task was to build a wall to defend against centaurs as quickly as possible.

At this time, I don’t know where the blind adventurer came from, but he actually came to trouble the Murlocs in Ratchet Town.

Yang Yi planned to go to Deadwater Oasis by himself to see the situation.

The next morning, Yang Yi rode a kodo beast to Deadwater Oasis, followed by a team of fighting murlocs to protect safety.

The kodo beast in Ratchet Town has not been tamed yet. This kodo beast was bought to facilitate the transportation of goods between Ratchet Village and Leiming Village.

This kind of cargo kodo beast has a heavy load but is not fast, but it has good endurance.

Today is another sunny day in the Barrens. There are no clouds in the sky early in the morning, and the vision is good.

The speed of the cargo kodo was still too slow. Yang Yi set out in the morning and swayed on the kodo's back for almost the entire day. He arrived at the Deadwater Oasis before dusk.

Yang Yi did not find any suspicious adventurers, but saw from a distance that the tauren were busy building a new home on the small mountain southwest of the Deadwater Oasis. The hair of these tauren from the Stoneclaw Mountains was mainly black, just like Macaba Flathoof, so this group of black cows moving on the yellow-brown mountain was particularly obvious.

The tauren Macaba Flathoof also participated in the construction personally. He was busy building a tauren-style animal hide tent.

Before settling in Mulgore, the tauren had always been nomadic, so their buildings were mostly in the form of tents.

Bain is young and strong. He is carrying a log with a diameter comparable to a basin and walking steadily along the lakeside. He is carrying materials for the construction of the wall of the Dead Water Murloc Village.

In the entire Dead Water Oasis, only Bain, a minotaur, is willing to contact the murlocs.

Two rows of log walls extend from the foot of Thunder Peak to the lake of the Dead Water Oasis, and the completion of the wall is not far away.

Yang Yi's team of murlocs is also very conspicuous walking on the wide road. After Bain found Yang Yi, he put the wooden stake on the ground and waved to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi also waved to Bain while sitting on the kodo.

The minotaur and the murloc are one on the small mountain and the other on the lake. They are not far apart, but the minotaur and the murloc are clearly separated, as if there is an invisible boundary separating the two.

The minotaur is not willing to contact the murlocs more, and the murlocs also reject land races like the minotaur, so the two do not interfere with each other.

Yang Yi originally wanted to let the murlocs and minotaurs build a village together and live together, but now it seems impossible in the short term.

The two races repel each other. The minotaurs are willing to live next to the murlocs because of the friendship between Baine and Yang Yi, while the murlocs are not allowed to conflict with the minotaurs for no reason because Yang Yi directly ordered them not to.

"Who cares? Anyway, it's like pulling the flag of the minotaurs at the beginning to resist the attacks of the centaurs and prevent the orcs from occupying the territory. As long as the goal is achieved, it's fine. Whether the murlocs can live in harmony with the minotaurs is not a big deal." Yang Yi's idea is very simple.

The thorny murlocs who were building the wall immediately surrounded Yang Yi when they saw him coming.

Yang Yi led the team to enter the empty space reserved for the entrance and exit of the earth wall. He saw that the dead water murloc village was not lazy either. The old blind eye was busy with the construction with the thorny murlocs.

The old blind eye has the expertise of "murloc leader". With him in command, the construction of the new village of murlocs is in good order.

"Lord, you are here." Old Blind Eye greeted Yang Yi as soon as he saw him.

"Old Blind Eye, you have worked hard. How is the situation here?"

"Lord, not so good." Old Blind Eye would not beat around the bush to whitewash the situation. "The lake water has not evolved clean yet. The snapping turtles in the lake are very irritable and often come ashore to attack our fishmen. Also, at night, there are often foreign humans sneaking in."

"It's strange. What are those foreign humans doing sneaking in at night?" Yang Yi asked.

The foreign humans mentioned by Old Blind Eye refer to adventurers. They are not up for nothing. Yang Yi thinks there must be something wrong.

"Lord, those foreign humans are like loaches. As soon as our fishman ambushers approached, they ran away."

No one was caught, and no one knew what their purpose was. Yang Yi could only ask Old Blind Eye to arrange more fishmen to watch the night. .
