Booty Bay is different from other civilized cities in that the guards in the city are all members of the Blackwater Pirates.
These pirates will not ask the identity of the people entering the city, and they can get away with just giving a false name.
The Steamwheedle Consortium welcomes anyone into the city to spend money as long as they are willing to abide by the rules of Booty Bay.
In this mixed city, drunkards can be seen fighting each other at any time. As long as it doesn't cause a large-scale brawl, the pirates guarding the city don't bother to care.
Of course, if the victim is caught on the spot like the dwarf thief, the guards in the city will still play a role.
Booty Bay, as its name suggests, is a floating city made of a large number of wooden boards built in a bay.
Standing at the entrance on the second floor, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city.
[Sure enough, like Silvermoon City and Stormwind City, the scale of Booty Bay is more than ten times larger than in the game...]
[Resources are limited in the game, so it is impossible to build the city model so big... In other words, this city gives me a sense of déjà vu like watching Shipwreck Cove in Pirates of the Caribbean. 】
[Although the worlds are different, in the final analysis they are all cities dominated by pirates, and pirate cultures will have something in common. 】
[Am I the only one who thinks of Assassin's Creed Black Flag? 】
When you come to a new city, the best places to get information are undoubtedly taverns and hotels.
Different from the games mentioned in the barrage, Nuoda's Treasure Bay has more than a dozen taverns, large and small, with various styles.
Lower-status sailors and pirates mostly choose affordable taverns in the lower reaches of the city, while higher-status guests also have suitable places to go.
The high-end pubs on the third floor of the city are prepared for them. According to the city guard who captured the dwarf thief before, there are many beauties and handsome guys from various races in these pubs to accompany them.
The Goblin's creed is that money solves everything.
Although Sarlayan has reservations about this, having money can indeed solve many problems in most cases.
There will be no shortage of people of any race who are not living a satisfactory life, but yearn for a high life. They are willing to work as waiters (boys) in the taverns of Booty Bay with high salaries.
Sarlayan wanted to go to the high-end tavern that the guard mentioned, but Valeera and Stellagosa pulled him toward the lower levels of the city without hesitation.
Both high-end taverns and civilian taverns can obtain information, but the information they can obtain usually does not overlap.
Cheng Bo was just an unknown traveling panda, so senior officials from various countries were unlikely to have any interest in him. If they wanted to get information about Cheng Bo, they could only go to civilian taverns with a larger flow of people.
For sailors who make a living on the sea all year round, every time they go ashore is a rare break.
Except for a few self-disciplined people who will save money and send it to their families, most sailors will enjoy themselves in time and spend the salary they receive from the ship owner in the port. Wine and women are essential to them.
After the three of Sarlayan stepped into one of the liveliest taverns, the loud noise made the three of them frown at the same time.
"Hit! Anri, give this fur ball monster some color!"
"Hey! Monokuma, I can bet on you to win, don't let me down!"
Furball monster and black and white bear, these two fresh terms made Sarlayan raise his eyebrows slightly.
After looking at each other with Valeera and Little Star, Sarlayan took the lead and squeezed into the crowd, relying on his strong physical fitness to squeeze out all the fun people who were blocking the road to watch the fun, which caused a burst of curses.
Following the path Sharlayan drove, Stellagosa and Valeela took the opportunity to follow, and soon squeezed into the noisiest first row.
In the inner circle of the tavern surrounded by dozens of people, a tall and strong human man with a beard and a red face punched and kicked another person. He had obviously drunk a lot of wine.
However, all his efforts were in vain.
Standing opposite the strong man was a chubby panda man with fur all over his body.
Compared with the strong human man, although the pandaman seemed to have drunk a lot, his moves were obviously more methodical, and his movements were filled with a mysterious charm.
"This is……"
Needless to say, it was confirmed that this panda man was the Cheng Bo that Sarlayan was looking for.
But at this time, Sarlayan did not focus on Cheng Bo's appearance, but opened his eyes wide and paid attention to his fists and kicks.
The strong human man strikes without mercy. Every time he punches, you can hear the "whirring" sound of the wind tearing through the air. He is very powerful.
Sarlayan took the time to turn on the Eagle Eye Technique and observe. This strong human named Anri has a level 45 warrior as his main profession and a level 35 pirate as his secondary profession.
Although I don’t know the specific background of this guy, he obviously has a high status.
Cheng Bo's main profession is a monk, and his level is only 2 levels higher than Anli.
But the fight between the two looked like an adult beating a child. Cheng Bo completely controlled the rhythm of the fight, and no matter how much Anli struggled, he could not break free.
"Warrior monk..."
Sarlayan observed Cheng Bo's moves thoughtfully, and could vaguely feel that there was some kind of restrained power in his fists and kicks.
Sarlayan: "Is this what you call Qi?"
[Yes, it’s amazing, right? 】
[According to the world view described in the Chronicles of Warcraft, Qi comes from the fifth element "soul". 】
[Elements are interconnected with everything in the world and are unique to each other. The five elements together form the basis of all matter in the world. It is another system that is different from the six original powers. 】
"Elemental?"
Sarlayan has long known about the existence of elements.
Strictly speaking, druids who are close to nature have certain abilities to control elements.
For example, the wind-related skills possessed by druids, such as hurricane, typhoon, etc.
But the elements that Sarlayan understood before were earth, water, fire and wind, and the element of soul had never been involved.
He had a hunch that the mysterious fifth element was inextricably linked to the power of nature and death he controlled, but for a while he couldn't tell why.
There was no suspense about the outcome of this one-on-one battle, which ended with Cheng Bo's overwhelming victory. The strong man Anli was hit in the head by a fist containing true energy, and he fell to the ground and fainted on the spot.
Cheers and wailing sounded in the tavern at the same time. The ones cheering were naturally the winners of the bet, and the ones wailing... needless to say.
"Hiccup~"
At the end of the battle, Cheng Bo staggered and burped. He smiled and saluted the surrounding drinkers with his hands clasped in fists, looking as if he was drunk.
"tnnd! You can win even though you're so drunk, it's really a ghost!"
Gambling was also one of the fun things the sailors had when they went ashore to rest. Although many people could not accept the fact that Cheng Bo won, they could only accept the reality depressedly after the goblin opener announced with a smile.
There is no other way, how can we still settle the bill? The last drunkard was thrown into the sea and fed to fish just an hour ago. Many people present witnessed it with their own eyes.
"Tsk! This is the captain of the Blackwater Pirates, so embarrassing..."
"Shh! You don't want your life?"
"You're so scared! As long as you don't owe those goblins money, it won't kill anyone if you get high."
As the battle between Cheng Bo and Anli came to an end, the drinkers who lost money left the tavern cursing, while those who won money happily shouted to the bartender to continue serving drinks.
There are also bartenders in such low-level pubs. Considering that the majority of the guests are male sailors, most of the bartenders are women.
Staying at sea for several months at a time, sailors can happily accept it as long as it is not so ugly that it breaks the sky.
Bypassing these vulgar fans, Sarlayan walked up to Cheng Bo who raised his head and took a sip of wine, raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
"Chengbo Stormstout from the Wandering Isle?"
"Hiccup~"
Cheng Bo put down the wine bottle with drunken eyes and looked at the strange man in front of him doubtfully. The unpleasant smell of bad wine came out of his mouth.
"Who...are you? Why are you looking for me...hiccup?"
Sarlayan pointed helplessly at the door: "I have something serious to talk to you about. It's not convenient to talk here. Can we change places?"
"Hehe~"
Cheng Bo was obviously very drunk. He was holding the bottle and wanted to get up. When his legs were a little unruly under the paralysis of alcohol, he rolled several times on the ground like a gourd. Then there was a sound coming from the tavern. There was laughter.
"Shh!"
"Monokuma, you can't drink enough!"
"Who says I can't do it!"
Cheng Bo was unconvinced and tried to stand up, but he finally sat down and fell asleep.
"Ah this..."
Sarlayan's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the pandaren lying on the floor of the tavern, one of the bartenders walking over just at this time.
"Are you his friend? That's right. Let's settle the account."
Sarlayan: "..."
