Chapter 263: Subdue the Thief's Eye
After planting the sludge grass at the algae farm, Yang Yi and Jia Gu returned to Ratchet Town from Ratchet Bay.
When the two arrived at the inn, Jia Gu immediately ran to pick up a barrel of Lao Chen's Storm Liquor and drank it happily.
Yang Yi hadn't eaten the food cooked by the fishman chef for several days. He ordered a large table of delicacies for himself as soon as he arrived.
It was not meal time yet, and Soup Spoon and Cookie were not too busy. Several little fishman chef apprentices were learning cooking skills from them.
There was a tall fishman among the group of fishman chefs today. This fishman was Thorn Spine, who had just joined Ratchet Town. He was holding a machete and was still very conspicuous standing at the back of the group of fishmen.
"Spiky Spine, what else can you do besides Pug's fish paste?" Yang Yi took a bite of a delicious little fish and asked while eating.
"Mayor, Ci Ji can make a lot of specialties from the swamp, such as crispy bat wings, crunchy spiders, scorpion meat feast, gopher stew, stewed frog legs..." Ci Ji counted on his fingers. As a level 4 chef, he can make quite a few.
Yang Yi was stunned when he heard it. The names of these foods sounded like dark cuisine.
"Can the things you said be delicious?" Yang Yi couldn't help asking.
"Delicious, very delicious, because Ci Ji's food is delicious, that's why he became the village chief." Ci Ji said proudly.
Yang Yi thought about it and it was right. It was not easy for fishmen to find food. Every fishman in the fishman village where Ci Ji was located was so tall, and they must be all gluttons. If they didn't stuff everything they ate in the swamp into their mouths and swallow it, they would really starve to death.
Yang Yi was a little curious about the food Ci Ji mentioned. He wanted to try it, but found that there were no ingredients to make these foods in Ratchet Town, so he had to give up temporarily.
Finally, Yang Yi asked Ci Ji to make more Pug's fish sauce when he had time, which was still very useful for Ratchet Town.
After a big meal, Yang Yi came out of the inn with a bulging belly.
After that, Yang Yi strolled around in the town of Ratchet in the sea breeze to digest the food, and then he found the old blind eye.
Yang Yi asked the old blind eye about the situation in the town of Ratchet in the past few days, and focused on the construction of the fish breeding pool.
"Lord, Cookie's breeding pool has been built, and six other breeding pools have been built." The old blind eye reported.
Yang Yi now regards Cookie's house as a model house for real estate development in Ratchet. Cookie's town level 1 fishman hut faces the sea, and behind the hut is a village level 1 fishman breeding pool, and it is also equipped with a village level 1 warehouse, a small pit, and then surrounded by a village level 1 wooden fence.
When other fishmen in Ratchet saw Cookie's "sea villa mansion", they drooled all over the ground.
Yang Yi learned about this situation and asked the fishman construction workers in the town to build a few more for other fishmen in the town.
Old Blind Eye and the Black brothers were of course the first to move in.
Jinyu man Jia Gu also wanted a house, but he had already spent all his coins on buying wine, so Yang Yi made an exception and asked him to sign a contract to sell himself and pay in installments.
There were other murlocs who wanted to move in, but they couldn't afford the down payment set by Yang Yi, so they could only work hard to earn money.
"This time we came back from the Dustwallow Marsh and brought back some murloc eggs. Find a nursery pond to put those murloc eggs in, and arrange an old murloc to take care of them first." Yang Yi explained.
The murloc eggs that Yang Yi brought back from the Dustwallow Marsh were born by Thief Eye and Thorn Spine.
Yang Yi witnessed the passionate scene of Thief Eye and Thorn Spine chasing each other in the sea. Later, he thought that the two murlocs, one with B-level qualifications and the other with C-level qualifications, would definitely have good genes for their offspring, so he asked the murloc to return to the scene and bring back the murloc eggs.
"Zheiyan is a fishman with good qualifications and is a rare fishman who can play tricks. We must find a way to get her to join Ratchet Town." Yang Yi thought.
As a fishman, Zeiyan knows more about the fighting methods of the fishmen than Yang Yi.
Ratchet Town's opponents include fishmen from other clans, lobstermen, and water tribes such as Naga, and they need an experienced fishman like Zeiyan.
After being escorted back to Ratchet Town, Zeiyan was put in solitary confinement. She was "served" by Benbolba all the way back to Ratchet Town on the Ratchet II.
Yang Yi thought of Zeiyan and decided to go and see the situation.
The cave where Zeiyan was imprisoned was still the cave where the wise man of the Blackfin Clan was imprisoned, and the wooden cage where Zeiyan was imprisoned was still the original wooden cage.
Benbolba liked to change various tricks to torture prisoners. The higher the status of the prisoner, the happier this kid was to toss.
This time the prisoner was the leader of the Blackfin Clan, and Benbol Ba used all his strength to torture him.
Yang Yi walked into the cave. The leader of the Blackfin Clan, who had just been tortured for a few days, had been tortured by Benbol Ba to the point that he looked like a fishman. He had already fallen unconscious in the wooden cage.
Seeing Yang Yi coming, Benbol Ba ran over.
"Boss, thanks to Benbol Ba's efforts, this fishman has confessed everything." Benbol Ba said proudly.
"What did she say?"
"This fishman said that she relied on a kind of seaweed called magic seaweed to summon sea giants. If you put the magic seaweed on the sea oath altar, the sea giant will come to take the offering." Benbol Ba answered.
Yang Yi had already told Benbol Ba several questions to be tortured. He nodded after hearing this. There is also a sea oath altar in Ratchet Town. He is still trying to figure out how to use the sea oath altar.
"How do the fishman ambushers of the Blackfin Clan usually train?"
"She said that in addition to having a special Murloc Ambusher trainer on the island to train Murlocs, the Blackfin Clan also throws the little Murlocs into the Dustwallow Marsh and lets them complete the trial alone." Benbol Ba answered.
This trial method of the Blackfin Clan is cruel to the little Murlocs, but it also conforms to the survival law of the Murlocs.
"Then where did she learn jewelry processing from?"
"She said she learned it from a human. She said there is a small farm in the center of the Dustwallow Marsh, where an old human witch lives. The old witch not only taught her jewelry processing, but also taught her the spells of the mage." Benbol Ba answered.
"An old human witch living in the center of the Dustwallow Marsh?"
Yang Yi was a little skeptical. The Dustwallow Marsh is a dangerous place for humans. It is not easy for an old witch to live in the center of the Dustwallow Marsh.
Not to mention the powerful black dragon army in the southern part of the Dustwallow Marsh, the poisonous spiders, scorpions, crocodiles, velociraptors and other poisonous insects and beasts living in the swamp are enough to kill people.
Otherwise, such a large swamp would not be so deserted as it is now.
"How strong is that old human witch? She must be a powerful witch to be able to open a farm in the middle of the Dustwallow Marsh."
"This fishman said she didn't know either, she only knew that the human witch was a master of jewelry processing." Benbol Ba replied.
"She is still in a cage now, is she unwilling to join Ratchet Town?" Yang Yi asked.
"Yes, no matter how Benbol Ba persuaded her, she just refused to join our Ratchet Town." Benbol Ba was annoyed. In order to "persuade" Thief Eyes, he spent a lot of effort.
"Wake up this fishman, I want to ask her in person." Yang Yi decided to ask Thief Eyes in person.
Benbol Ba was also familiar with waking up tortured prisoners. He fetched water from the side and poured it on the fishman's head of Thief Eyes, and then gave her a lightning arrow, which quickly woke her up.
Thief Eyes shook the fishman's head in pain, and it took a long time to wake up.
"I ask you questions, you have to answer truthfully, otherwise you will suffer." Yang Yi threatened first, then asked: "What is the name of the old human witch living in Dustwallow Marsh?"
"Her name is Tabetha."
"What is her identity?"
"I don't know what Tabetha's identity is, I only know that she treats orcs and humans equally. I have seen orcs and humans seek help from her, and both orcs and humans are very respectful to Tabetha."
"What do orcs and humans need to ask this old witch named Tabetha for help?" Yang Yi asked.
The more Yang Yi listened, the more strange it felt. It was understandable that humans came to seek help, but orcs generally would not interact with humans, let alone seek help from a human.
"I only know that the Horde and the Alliance had tense confrontations in Dustwallow Marsh many times, and Tabetha calmed down possible wars several times."
"You said that you learned jewelry processing from this old human witch. Doesn't she also exclude fish people?" Yang Yi asked.
"Yes, Tabetha even treats me, a fishman, equally."
Yang Yi was thoughtful.
If Thief Eyes didn't lie, then the strength of this old human witch named Tabetha is definitely extraordinary, and her identity is very special, otherwise she would not be respected by both orcs and humans.
"Thief Eyes said that this old human witch named Tabetha is not averse to fishmen. It seems that I have to find her when I have a chance in the future." Yang Yi thought.
Although Thief Eyes learned some knowledge of jewelry processing from Tabetha, she said that this old witch has always been very mysterious, and her understanding of the old witch is also very limited.
Yang Yi asked some more questions about Tabetha, and seeing that he couldn't get more information, he put Tabetha's matter aside for the time being.
At the moment, Yang Yi is more concerned about Thief Eyes, a fishman.
"Thief Eyes, now this lord will give you a choice." Yang Yi said in a deep voice.
"If you agree to join Ratchet Town, I can give you freedom immediately, and even give you a good treatment."
"If you don't want to, you will be locked up in this cave forever until you die in a wooden cage."
Zheiyan slowly raised her head in the wooden cage, and she didn't answer. Obviously she didn't believe Yang Yi, and she didn't make a decision.
"You only have this chance to choose. You are a smart fishman, you should know how to make a choice." Yang Yi said coldly.
Smart people always do the right thing, and smart fishmen are the same.
Zheiyan can definitely be called smart among fishmen. There is no need to use carrot and stick tactics to lure her, nor does Yang Yi need to analyze more pros and cons with her. She immediately knows what choice she should make now.
"Zheiyan chooses to join Ratchet Town."Zheiyan answered.
Zheiyan's answer was full of frustration that could not be concealed, but the tone was resolute. .
