The road afterwards was uneventful, and everyone arrived at Gadgetzan.
In order to go to the Cave of Time, Michaela immediately went to the trading center in Gadgetzan to buy a water bag. There was no fresh water replenishment on the road to the Cave of Time. If you don't want to be dried out in the desert, you must replenish enough fresh water. .
However, Mikayla did not know that her act of replenishing fresh water attracted the attention of some people.
For example, the goblin merchant who was preparing a water bag asked: "This guest, you are preparing so much fresh water. It doesn't seem like you are going to the west. Are you going to the desert in the south?"
"You talk a lot."
Michaela didn't think much, just urged: "Hurry up and give me the water bag and the invoice, I'm in a hurry."
"Good customer."
The goblin merchant prepared everything quickly, but just as he watched Michaela leave the shop, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he immediately turned around and walked out of the shop through the back door, turning left into the alley. Inside.
In the shadows, a person suddenly appeared: "Any information?"
The goblin merchant opened his mouth: "One gold coin."
"so much!"
The man was stunned for a second, but he still took out a gold coin and said, "I hope your information is worth the price."
The goblin businessman said: "We goblins always have fair prices."
"All right."
The man handed over the gold coin. The goblin merchant received the gold coin. With a smile on his face, he immediately told all about Michaela's planned trip south and deep into the desert. He even added with embarrassment:
"That blood elf can buy so many water bags at one time, which means he is very rich. You will definitely make a lot of money from this operation."
In the desert, the price of water is comparable to gold. The fact that Michaela can buy so many water bags is indeed a symbol of wealth, so the man believed it.
"Okay, thank you for the information, happy cooperation." After that, the man disappeared into the shadows.
After watching the other party leave, the goblin merchant returned to the back door of his shop, but instead of entering the shop, he turned to the right and came to a tavern.
As soon as the door was opened, a bunch of rough guys from various races such as orcs, humans, trolls, jackals, etc. all turned their heads and looked at them fiercely, as if they were going to eat them up in the next second.
"Hi, it's me."
But the goblin seemed to be used to this kind of gaze. After a simple greeting, a male human with chest hair exposed came over and said: "If you have anything to say, please tell me."
The goblin merchant raised a finger and said: "A gold coin."
"so much!"
Not only the hairy-chested man, but other rough guys present also shouted:
"Goblin, what information did you bring this time? Is it someone with a big vote?"
The goblin businessman said: "A gold coin can save a child and his elders."
The man with the hairy chest hummed, then took out a gold coin from his pocket and handed it over.
"Thank you, the information I provided will definitely be worth the money."
The goblin who got the gold coin once again told all the information about Michaela, and added: "That blood elf bought so many water bags, it means he is very rich, doesn't it?"
A ferocious smile appeared on the face of the man with hairy chest.
At the same time, Michaela, who didn't know anything yet, suddenly sneezed: "Sneeze, who is talking about me?"
The goblin merchants have sold Michaela’s information twice, who do you think it could be?
Early the next morning, before the sun had risen, Mikaela led the team to head towards the Cave of Time in the south. The desert hinterland was indeed extremely hot, and there were coyotes, vultures and other ferocious beasts around them. Fortunately, Michaela was prepared and had enough water bags, so everyone didn't have to worry about dying of thirst.
According to the itinerary, the road to the Cave of Time would take two days, and they would definitely spend a night in the desert. Therefore, when the moon climbed into the sky, Mikaela gave instructions to set up camp and rest early to prepare for the next day's trip.
Soon, it was late at night, and everyone in the camp fell asleep.
Suddenly, a small team appeared in the desert on the south side, and the man who had made a deal with the goblins before was among them. He pointed at the camp and said to the strong man beside him:
"Boss Kalif, that goblin really didn't lie. We have found the blood elf team."
The Kalif he spoke of was none other than Kalif Skobistin, the leader of the wasteland bandits. In other words, this team was wasteland bandits entrenched in the desert.
This group of people are ruthless people who lick their heads to death, causing the local goblin merchants to complain endlessly. Now that the sleeping Michaela encounters them, she is in danger!
But just when the Wasteland Bandits were about to sneak into the camp at night and kill all the sleeping people, another group of vicious rough guys appeared in the desert south of the camp, just east of the Wasteland Bandits.
The hairy-chested man who had made a deal with the goblin before was suddenly here, and he was also saying to another big man: "Boss Andre, that goblin didn't lie. We have found the blood elf camp."
The man with the hairy chest calls Andrei, whose full name is Andrei Fairbied, the notorious South Sea pirate boss. In other words, these rough guys are the South Sea pirates entrenched on the coast of Tanaris.
The pirates are lawless and murderous, and have repeatedly robbed goblin ships and caravans, causing headaches to the goblin merchants. Now the sleeping Mikaela bumps into them and is in danger.
At this moment, the bosses on both sides, Kalif and Andrei, ordered at the same time: "Enter the village quietly, shoot without guns, steal all the gold coins and women, and kill all the men."
"yes!"
The men on both sides responded at the same time and set off at the same time, so they bumped into each other...
"Um!"
"Um!"
Kalif noticed Andrei and immediately said: "Who are you?"
Andrey also noticed Kalif and immediately asked: "Who are you?"
Kalif: "Don't imitate me!"
Andrei: "Don't imitate me!"
Fortunately, the moonlight was not dim tonight, so the two of them recognized each other quickly.
Kalif: "Andrey!"
Andrey: "Kaliv!"
Then they both cursed at the same time: "Fuck!"
There were robbers on one side, pirates on the other, and Michaela and her party on the opposite side who were sleeping soundly. They probably knew what they were here for.
At this moment, both Kalif and Andrei understood that the damn goblin businessman had sold the same piece of information to both parties and made two profits. But the prey is right in front of them. It is absolutely impossible for them to use their style to hand over the prey they have obtained!
So Kalif spoke first: "Andrei, you are pirates. Go to sea and rob merchant ships. The business on the ground is mine!"
How could Andrei give in? "Kaliv, don't think I don't know. Your kid often pretends to be us and goes to sea to rob goblin merchant ships. Why can't I come to rob on land!"
hehe!
Be it bandits or pirates, they are not good people. They have done all kinds of burning, killing and looting. Moreover, because these two groups of people are in the same area, there is inevitable friction with each other.
Seeing that the other party refused to give in, Kalif immediately threatened: "Andre, the land is the territory of our wasteland bandits. Are you not giving me face?"
As he spoke, Kalif shook the dagger with a cold light in his hand. The wasteland bandits behind him also pulled out their own weapons. For a moment, a sinister wind passed through the audience. You can imagine how much these guys had on their hands. A life.
But Andrei, who was opposite him, was also a ruthless person. He immediately pulled out his machete and shouted: "Kalif, you are an expert in deception and deception, but when it comes to killing people, can you do it?"
As he spoke, the South China Sea pirates behind Andrei also drew their swords one after another. The smell of blood on the swords wafted through the entire place for a while, and it was unknown how many innocent people died in their hands.
As both sides showed their weapons, the bosses on both sides also understood.
"So, is there going to be a winner today?" While looking at Andrei, Kalif put the dagger to his mouth and licked the blade with his tongue.
Andrei showed no sign of weakness. He waved his right hand in a knife-like dance and shouted: "Kalief, from now on, we will take care of all business, whether on land or at sea!"
"You're not too arrogant, so let's see the truth behind your fingers!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kalif immediately rushed up to him with lightning speed and stabbed Andrei's chest with the dagger in his hand.
Such a fierce method is exactly the signature skill of the stalker, "Shadow Strike". Kalif is a senior stalker who has been in the world for many years!
Andre, who was on the opposite side, suddenly had a red mist representing anger appearing all over his body. He completely ignored the opponent's attack and directly raised the scimitar in his hand to slash at Kalif in front of him.
This move is the fighter's signature skill "suppression", and Andrei is also a senior fighter who has been in the martial arts world for many years.
"ah!"
"ah!"
Accompanied by two shouts, the two people were already bleeding after just one encounter. When the surrounding subordinates saw the boss taking action, they also rushed towards the opposite side.
A melee between wasteland bandits and South Sea pirates began, and shouts of killing instantly rang through the night sky.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"The Candle Emperor's will will destroy the monsters in the cave!"
"The glory of the country is burning, and the blood of the dead is pouring down!"
"Um...Master?" Melina's voice suddenly came.
"Blood spurts life and death, and the strong one wins!"
"With callous hands and callous feet, everything can be defeated!"
"Empty words are not sincere, and you should repay them with your own body!"
"Master?" Melina's voice was a little loud.
"The traitor is burned with fire, the ugliness is exterminated, the evil is cleansed, and the evil is forgiven, but death is the only way to go..."
"Master!" Melina almost shouted.
Torina couldn't help it anymore and shouted in the spiritual world: "Michaela, don't sleep!"
"Well, well, ah!"
Michaela finally woke up after vomiting a lot of inexplicable sleep talk: "I just seemed to be fighting a chainsword with a monster in a space battleship..."
"Stop the chainsword, that's next door, this is Azeroth!"
After Torina complained, she got down to business: "Melina is calling you!"
Michaela then raised her head from the lap of her succubus, and Melina said: "Master, I have been using charm to give you sweet dreams, but the noise from outside suddenly disrupted your dream. .”
"Oh, yes."
Michaela also heard faint shouts of killing coming from outside the camp. He used to rely on Melina's mental ability to have sweet dreams every night, but today it inexplicably turned into a dream about a bloody interstellar battle, causing Michaela to talk constantly in her sleep, and nothing felt right no matter what she thought.
"There must be something wrong outside."
After waking up, Michaela walked out of her tent and started calling people: "Marianna, Celestine, you all get up, do you hear the noise outside?"
Fortunately for Celestine, she immediately walked out of the tent to observe the situation after being woken up. But Mariana was different. She walked out of the tent and said: "Why don't you wake up your sister!"
Michaela immediately replied: "Marenia is my sister, of course let her sleep a little longer!"
"Well, brother, I'm already awake."
As a result, Marlenia appeared next to Michaela: "What's the noise outside?"
Just like that, everyone in the camp woke up, and Michaela immediately led everyone out of the camp and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Wow!"
