Chapter 189: A Thousand Gold Horse

"Who is the missing envoy? Why are so many forces involved, and even Jaina, the leader of Theramore, is so concerned about this matter.

Mengfan frowned slightly, and she gently touched the [Jaina's Emblem Ring] on her hand. For Mengfan, the other attributes of this ring are not important. What is important is that this ring represents a pass to and from Theramore.

On the other side is Okaz Island. This island is very large and densely covered with jungle. It is not easy for Yang Yi and the others to find someone on it. Fortunately, Marisa had been here with the tauren Mr. Punch before, and she knew that there were some wooden houses built deep in the jungle, where Dr. Wavell, who claimed to be the greatest criminal in the world of Azeroth, was hiding.

It wasn't until dark that the two of them arrived at their destination.

"Be careful, there are many weird robots around here, all made by Dr. Wavell." Marisa reminded in a low voice.

Yang Yi carefully hid behind a big tree, and soon saw a bipedal robot walking more than ten meters ahead.

He looked at it with the eyes of the lord. The four-meter-tall fat robot was called [Security Robot], and it was a level 6 machine.

It's obvious that Dr. Wavell released the robots just for patrol and security purposes.

Compared to Marisa, Yang Yi had to be more careful.

Yang Yi's stealth skills are those of his Murloc Ambusher. Currently, his Murloc Ambusher profession is only level 1, so his stealth skills are less effective than those of Marisa, a level 3 stalker. many.

Since there were many security robots and mechanical spider scouts patrolling around the cabin, Yang Yi and Marisa could only carefully wander around the perimeter looking for opportunities to sneak in.

The two of them walked far around the hut, making a complete circle before helplessly returning to the original spot.

"No, Dr. Wavell has placed too many robots here. We can't sneak into those wooden houses without alerting these robots." Yang Yi said.

"It should be because Mr. Punch and I were discovered by them last time when we tried to get into this place to save Vanessa, so we tightened security later. This Dr. Wavell claims to be the greatest criminal, regardless of his own strength or the robot he created. They cannot be underestimated. If these machines are alerted and attract his attention, we will be in danger." Marisa said.

Yang Yi observed again. There were too many patrol robots near the hut in the distance. This did not include the robots hidden in the house or other places. Moreover, he also found that there were mechanical defense turrets installed on some main passages. It can be said that The defense is airtight.

"The density of defensive robots is too high. Let's get out of here first and then think of other ways."

Yang Yi proposed to evacuate first. His idea was very simple. He could not risk his own life just to save Van Cleef.

Marisa could only nod helplessly and silently retreated with Yang Yi.

The two of them got out of the dense forest and returned to the coast.

Yang Yi looked around and found a big sea turtle resting on the beach.

Marisa remained silent all the way, and it was obvious that she was still thinking about how to rescue Van Cleef.

"There is no way. Dr. Weiweier is too powerful. We can't even deal with the robots patrolling outside the house. We can't go in and save people with our strength alone." Yang Yi persuaded Marisa to give up.

Marisa lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then raised her head and said to Yang Yi: "There is someone who may have a way to deal with Dr. Wavell's robot, but I don't know if that person is willing to help us."

"Is there such a powerful person?" Yang Yi asked.

"Yes, that man's name is Narian, and he is also a dwarf engineer. He is Dr. Wavell's arch-enemy." Marisa continued, "Moreover, this Narian may also be able to crack Dr. Wavell's control glasses. "

Yang Yi remembered that he had asked Marisa in prison who could unlock Balon Longshore's control glasses. At that time, she had said that there was someone near the Barrens who might have this ability. They were only willing to tell Marisa after she asked for Vanessa to be released, so the news about Narian was not revealed at that time.

"Where is this Narian?" Yang Yi asked.

"Narian settled in the Steamwheedle Port of Tanaris, south of here," Marisa said.

"That's not close."

"Yes, the distance from Okaz Island to Hotsand Port is twice the distance from Okaz Island to Ratchet Town."

When Yang Yi thought about it, he couldn't just give up halfway when things got to this point, and it was also related to the rescue of Balon Longshore, so he decided to rest for the night and go to Hotsand Port tomorrow.

Yesterday, Sister Gujiu and Gudong used two plesiosaurs to help find enough materials for ship repair for the Defias Brotherhood that was stranded on the island. Yang Yi also called them and Cookie the next morning and headed south to Hotsand Port. .

To get to Steamwheedle Port from Orcaz Island, you need to go south through Theramore in Dustwallow Swamp, and then continue south along the cliff coast east of the Shining Plains of Thousand Needles, and finally reach Tanaris.

Fortunately, Steamwheedle Port is located in the northeast corner of Tanaris. Once you arrive at Tanaris, you will arrive at Steamwheedle Port quickly.

The journey was too far this time, and the turtles and plesiosaurs needed time to rest and recuperate, so even if Yang Yi and the others tried their best to hurry up, it still took them more than ten days to reach the Hot Sand Port of Tanaris.

Tanaris is a large desert covering a large area in southern Kalimdor. It is a hot land full of quicksand. Most of this land is uninhabited. It is said that many unknown secrets are kept in the great desert of Tanaris.

Steam Sand Port on the seashore of Tanaris and the central city of the desert, Gadgetzan, are two industries of the Steam Sand Consortium.

Steam Sand Port is a relatively peaceful neutral seaport, a gathering place for goblins, gnomes and trolls, who spend most of their time fishing and fighting against South China Sea pirates.

Yang Yi and his companions walked into Steam Sand Port carefully. Fortunately, this is a neutral city, so the residents here will not attack them because they are humans and fishmen.

After entering Steam Sand Port, Marisa asked several goblins and gnomes on the way. The dwarf Narion is a celebrity in Steam Sand Port, and they soon learned where Narion lives.

Yang Yi carefully observed along the way and found that Steam Sand Port was full of deep wells of different sizes, water collectors of various shapes, strange-shaped equipment like sky rockets, and even a large machine connected to the sea with a water pipe.

After asking, I learned that those were all equipment for artificial rainfall and desalination of seawater.

Because they are located in the desert, the daily life of the residents of Steam Sand Port and Gadgetzan is to collect water, or make equipment to improve the way of collecting water.

However, the residents here have been complaining that the desalination equipment has been malfunctioning for many years and needs to be repaired. It is said that it only works effectively occasionally. The success rate of artificial rainfall with sky rockets is even pitifully small, because most of the time there are no clouds in the sky.

Yang Yi paid more attention to how the residents of Steam Sand Port overcame all difficulties to collect water in the desert, because the life of murlocs is more inseparable from water than that of goblins. It is difficult for murlocs to live in places without abundant water sources for a long time, which greatly limits the expansion of murlocs. Many of the ideas of these goblins are worth learning from.

Not long after, Yang Yi and his party came to Narean's residence, which is a dwarf workshop.

There were only two dwarves in the workshop, one was Narion, whom Yang Yi was looking for, and the other was Narion's best friend and assistant Stuwall.

Narion had two black mustaches, wore a red robe, and a red headscarf. His outfit was festive and had the style of the dwarves. The magical thing was that there was a white owl that was using Narion's hair as a nest and was taking a nap comfortably on his head.

"Hello, Master Narion. We came to see you and hope you can help us." Marisa went up to talk to Narion.

Yang Yi's group, except for Marisa, were all fishmen. The fishmen were notorious, so Marisa was mainly responsible for communicating with others.

"Can I help you? Tall human, and... two big and two small fishmen." Narion said happily after seeing Yang Yi and the others.

Before Yang Yi came, he was worried that this dwarf engineer would be as withdrawn and difficult to communicate as those legendary powerful scientists, but he didn't expect Narion to be surprisingly enthusiastic.

"Don't talk!" Narian suddenly stopped Morisa who was about to ask for help mysteriously, "Let Narian guess! You came for the Sword of Ashes, right?! Yes... uh... no! Sorry. Narian is at your service! I'm a fortune teller! I can guarantee it!"

"Fortune teller? You're not an engineer?" Morisa asked.

"Oh, the tall lady is right. Narian is an engineer, but I've retired and am now a fortune teller." Narian proudly introduced his identity as a fortune teller to Morisa and Yang Yi. Halfway through the introduction, he suddenly turned around and screamed at his assistant: "Stuwall, what are you still doing? Hurry up and bring my fortune telling crystal ball over. Don't you see that there are guests? Look, the fortune telling crystal ball is covered with dust. You must not have wiped it carefully today. Did you hear what I said, you lazy guy!"

"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away, don't shout anymore!" Stuwall covered his ears with both hands and ran over complaining.

Stuwall seemed unwilling to be ordered around by Narion, but he still went to pick up a crystal ball on the table. The dwarf was small so he looked like he was holding a big white watermelon.

Yang Yi was watching from the side. He was not interested in divination and crystal balls. He suddenly felt that this dwarf technician from Narion was quite unreliable. This guy has jumped directly from a scientist to a charlatan. Can this charlatan solve the security robots of Okaz Island and Dr. Vivier's control glasses?

Marisa also felt that this Narion was unreliable, so he asked directly: "We are in trouble. A dwarf named Dr. Vivier has captured our friends. He also has a pair of glasses that can control others."

"Oh, my God! You mean Vivier, my biggest enemy Vivier, his troubles have found me again!"

When Narion heard Marisa mention the name of Dr. Vivier, he immediately became excited and blew his beard and glared, and jumped up. The owl that was taking a leisurely nap in his nest was startled. It flapped its wings a few times to protest, then flew away with a few unhappy cries.

Next, Marisa told him in detail about how Van Cleef was trapped on Okaz Island by Dr. Wevir, as well as the security robots on Okaz Island and Dr. Wevir's control glasses.

"I knew it, I knew it, Wevir is playing his old tricks again!" Narion was angry.

"So, Narian Technician... um... Narian Diviner. Can you help us? Can you solve those security robots and strange glasses?" Marisa asked carefully.

"Of course I can solve the things made by Vivier. When Vivier and I were students at the Gnomeregan Artisan Academy, my grades were always the first, while Vivier's grades were always terrible. In the end, he was expelled from the Artisan Academy." Narian said proudly, and then he changed the subject: "I am very busy now. Even pirates come to me for divination. Do you know how many people are queuing up for me every day? I am not a busybody. If you want my help, I must fill my stomach first. You go and bring a 500-pound chicken."

"A 500-pound chicken?" Marisa thought she had heard it wrong. 1 pound is about 0.45 kilograms, and 500 pounds is nearly 225 kilograms. Where in the world can there be such a heavy chicken?

"Yes, 500 pounds, that's what I want to eat." Narion patted his belly with his little hand to confirm.

"Then... where can I find this 500-pound chicken?" Marisa asked again.

"Oh, where can I find a 500-pound chicken? That's your business. I just need to eat it." Narion said, "Now, you can leave here. Don't block the door and hinder the fortune-teller's business."

Narion drove Marisa and Yang Yi out. Marisa and Yang Yi looked at each other. Is there such a big chicken in the world of Azeroth?

"I think there is something wrong with Narion. You see, no one here asks him for divination, let alone queuing. And even if there is such a big chicken in this world, he, a dwarf, can't eat such a big chicken with his small body." Yang Yi pointed to his fishman head with his finger, thinking that this dwarf charlatan must be confused.

"I read in a book when I was in the Arcane Academy in Stormwind that there is a dark chicken of death in this world. It is said that no one can come back alive after seeing this chicken, but now there is no such chicken." Marisa recalled seriously. In order to save Van Cleef, even if she thought Nareen's words were nonsense, she still tried hard to find the answer.

"Such a powerful chicken, even if it still exists now, we can't beat it." Yang Yi said.

Yang Yi and Marisa looked at each other, unable to find a solution, and Cookie on the side was also anxious.

When several people were at a loss at the door of Nareen, Cookie suddenly raised his head and sniffed in the air.

"The fragrance is the fragrance of barbecue. What a wonderful fragrance, this is not ordinary meat, it is so delicious!" Cookie said, this fragrance fascinated him, a fish chef.

Yang Yi and the others also smelled it, and sure enough, there was a strange and tempting fragrance wafting.

Yang Yi looked around and found that a carriage was slowly driving towards them in the distance.

This is a carriage pulled by a single horse. A man sits on the horse with a calm expression. The horse under his crotch is tall. What's more exaggerated is that the horse's body is covered with silver scales, leaving only a few places such as the horse's eyes and nostrils exposed. Moreover, each piece of silver scales has been carefully polished. When the horse moves, these scales shine brightly in the sun, dazzling and dazzling.

This kind of horse is rare in Kalimdor, and it is produced in abundance in the Eastern Kingdoms.

In the eastern logging yard of Elwynn Forest in the Eastern Kingdoms, adventurers have long discovered the horse farm of Stormwind humans, where such horse mounts are sold. To buy this kind of horse, not only do you need to have a high reputation in Stormwind, but each horse is also sold for as much as one thousand gold.

Therefore, such horses are called "thousand-gold horses" by adventurers. .
