Lament of the Highborne

Stranglethorn Vale·Wild Coast

The wind is gentle and nowhere,

The water waves are not happy.

A cargo ship was speeding through Booty Bay. The splashing waves broke the calmness of the sea and seemed to twinkle like stars under the sunlight.

Helix looked at the blood-sail pirates going away with a solemn expression. He yawned, reached for a bottle of Kaya soda, and drank it in large gulps. Although it was very refreshing, bubbles soon rushed up in his throat. Splattered all over the floor.The pale foam adhered to the air and turned into a pool of black water. As if corroded by some poison, it seeped into the deck and disappeared.

Not only did he feel that he had done something stupid, but he also found that he had fallen into this contradiction between greed and self-blame. Brickrez Gutis, who was dreaming of getting rich, didn't notice anything at all. Fidgeting with the rudder, dancing and shouting: Oh, my God!Helix!Now we are considered rich people!

Goblin was born to love money. It was just a business, and there was nothing wrong with it. He looked at the empty bottle and kept comforting himself. However, he was swung aside by the shaking cargo ship and yelled: Bricklez Gutis , do you want to be fired?Be careful when sailing!This is not a reprimand with a happy and peaceful tone, nor is it a sincere teaching, it is a vicious and angry rebuke!

The Goblin Brick, Klez Gutis, who was sailing the boat, instantly fell from his complacent energy. His eyes were like a running abacus, as if he was trying to stay away from this big dream of getting rich!His hands trembled.

Helix has gray hair and wrinkles on his face. He knows that he is no longer young, and money is no longer the goal of his Goblin life. His eyes under the crow's feet are staring at Bricklez Gutis. : You go find a mercenary. This person should have nothing to do with Stranglethorn Vale.

Bricklez Gutis looked puzzled: Looking for someone else?ah!Helix, are you going to fire me?No, let me do it!Whatever you do!

Helix let out a bubbly burp and said slowly: Aha!My friend, don’t get me wrong, I’m not driving you, I just have to go to the Gurubashi Arena next time, can you?

The Gurubashi Arena, a hellish place like this, are we going to go there?terrible!It’s probably scary for those who are willing to go!

When Bricklez Gutis thought of this, he suddenly lost interest, sighed secretly in his heart, and suddenly said: Otherwise, let the 'human trafficker' Dizweig in Ratchet City find someone!By then life and death will have nothing to do with Stranglethorn Vale!

Helix, who looked serious, turned around slowly and found that this red-skinned goblin was both familiar and unfamiliar. Compared with himself, he was obviously a ruthless character.

Stranglethorn Vale·Booty Bay

Clear sky.

The port is very prosperous with merchants gathering there.

There are thousands of sails standing there, but there is no space.

There is an endless stream of vendors of different races from all over the world, horns and drums are blasting as boats come and go, and there are bursts of rock music from guitars and basses. Drinking and singing are so joyful.

And in a corner of Booty Bay, there is a special leather shop: Peel Your Skin.

The shop is not big, a two-story building, and the light is a little dim. A person, the familiar Bricklez Gutis, is busy making leather. His movements are not fast, but he is very skillful. He flips, draws, and cuts without any unnecessary movements. See When someone came in, he immediately stopped what he was doing and greeted him.

Hey!How can I help?

no…

Bricklez Gutis glanced at this young man with evil intentions. He had fine features but an expressionless face. He had gray hair, shirtless, and red leather shorts. He stood straight!How strange.As he spoke, he brushed his hands and took out a skinning knife and held it brightly in front of his eyes:

You don’t need help, are you just looking for fun?ah!

Obviously the young man was a little panicked, and he was stunned for a moment before saying:

The morning is like the blue silk rain on Azeroth,

At this point, Bricklez Gutis understood that this might be one of his own. He was stunned for a moment and replied:

Twilight is as dark as the sea of ​​Kalimdor!

Hmm... By the way, how many Kezan chaebols are there! ?

Which one do you think it is?

The Bilgewater Cartel's fool.

What does their family like to drink?

Kaya soda Yili wow, no, wait, it’s Kaya soda.

Forget it, that’s it!You may not be able to speak those few Goblin words clearly yourself.

Helix said as he came down the stairs and stared at the young human being. His upright figure seemed a little stiff, his bloodshot eyes were full of tiredness and exertion, and his thin face looked so stubborn and indifferent. Helix was a little nervous. strangeness.

Seeing this, Brikrez Gutis called a two-headed monster: Grabtok to search for it.

Unexpectedly, this young man didn't even look at him. He just stood still and stared at the two-headed monster. All he could see was that he had purple eyes and fangs, one horned mask, and the other was bald, red-robed, and had a python around his waist. belt.

Two-Headed Monster: Raise your hands!

The young man seemed not to have heard, and still stood there without moving.

Bricklez Gutis picked up the skinning knife, and the blood-stained blade seemed to exude murderous intent.

The young man tilted his face slightly and looked at Bricklez Gutis with disdain.

Helix then asked: Hey boy, who are you?Now that you know the code word, what do you want to do here?

At this time, the young man raised his hand and handed over the letter in his hand.

Helix read the letter, his suspicious eyes under his white eyebrows kept moving. He seemed to have a little regret and a little expectation, and murmured to himself: Friends, don't be afraid, just act according to the rules.

Bricklez Gutis reacted when he saw this scene, and immediately leaned over and whispered: Don't worry, the person Dizwig picked is absolutely fine.

Helix frowned and asked again, as if hoping to know something useful: Well, have we met?

The young man's categorical answer was, no!

This sound seemed to be said through gritted teeth. Helix was a little surprised, but felt inexplicably happy, so he smiled lightly and said: Is this your first time as a mercenary?Dizwig told you the rules!

Young man: Yes!

Helix closed his eyes and thought for a moment. Indeed, he seemed to be like this when he first arrived in Booty Bay. He sighed and said to the young man calmly: People always encounter trouble sometimes, and Dizvi He specializes in solving problems for others, but in return, you also do something for him.

The words were spoken softly.

The young man still answered decisively: Yes.

The afterglow of the setting sun poured in through the doors and windows, illuminating the entire room golden.

Helix said no more, waved to Bricklez Gutis and then turned and went upstairs.

And Bricklez Gutis eagerly greeted the young man: Hey, don't be nervous, your little red leather pants are nice.

I think this young man also noticed that Bricklez Gutis's outfit, red leather mantle, red leather shoes, red silk scarf and red belt, definitely has some peculiar habits, peel your skin off.It was probably this situation that prompted him to take the initiative to accept this suggestive proposal: Why don't I trade with you?Or maybe it's because these leather shorts were exchanged with Dizwig.

For such a wise decision, Bricklez Gutis was very happy: Aha!What a nice young man.Ha ha!

Laughing, I gave him some more equipment.

A loud broadcast voice came from the distance of Booty Bay: Ah, dear friends!I put some treasures in the Gurubashi Arena!All you have to do is go to the arena, open the box, and get what's inside!

Helix went straight to the door and summoned a fat-headed giant monster, and then said to the young man unhappily:

Hey!Boy!Next it depends on your luck!Get on this guy's shoulders!We have to get on our way.By the way, I will have to pay for the next ride.

The young man who had just changed his clothes grabbed a handful of bread and jumped on. Well, he was pretty good at it. It seemed that he had just been tired from traveling.

Stranglethorn Vale·····Gurubashi Arena

In the central jungle of Stranglethorn Valley, there is a huge circular building built by the Gurubashi Troll. As the glorious empire collapsed, this place became an unsolved mystery in their history, and there are too many mysterious stories in it. Fascinating.

Helix did not ask Bricklez Gutis to come with him. For this reason, he grumbled and complained, glaring at the young man fiercely, probably regretting the matter of pants.

Along the forest path of Stranglethorn Valley, they walked north all the way. The mottled patterns on the surrounding towering stone walls revealed the prosperity of a great troll empire. The ruins of this huge, majestic and spectacular arena, and even more It is the glorious place where many gladiators fight bloody battles and life-and-death duels, and is the final destination for the losers.

After entering the depths of the jungle, Helix suddenly turned back to the young man and said lightly: There is one thing, please understand. It is not to embarrass you, but you have to pass a test first!Helix doesn't trust people casually!

Young man: Got it!

This human still answered decisively.

But Helix's eyes were a little wandering, looking absent-minded. It seemed that this young man didn't care about many things.

Helix took out the Kaya soda and took a sip and continued: That's good, Grabtok will go with you, bring the guy, oh, by the way, and a small lucky stone ring.Wish ya'll good luck!
