In the northeasternmost part of Hindukel, a deep blue water stretches northward among the mountains.
To the southwest of the water area, the small city of Breyak is located on the mountains and rivers. There are many sea beasts living in the city.
This city is the last city-state agreed by the Temple of Wealth to install a magic furnace. The five previous cities are Meiyan, a city of the Panda and River tribes, Yafu City of the ape tribe and Antelope tribe, Yingyan city of the Aiwen tribe and the bird orcs, and Ben Meteora, the otter city in the upper reaches of the Ma River, and Cuishan City of the Red Panda Tribe that we just visited in the past two days.
The six smaller city-states have many common characteristics: all cities are located on mountains and rivers, the gods mainly worshiped in the cities are Warcraft gods with few believers or local demigods, and the main races in the cities are all orcs. Small tribe.
Although these small tribes do not have many ethnic groups, they have an irreplaceable ecological niche within the orcs, or produce unique products, such as the Pandaren's gardening profession and magic paper, the ape tribe's alpine magic plants, and the Aven tribe's provision of unique products. The carrier pigeons and falcons, the otters provided aquatic products, and the red pandas cultivated fruit trees. The existence of these small tribes allowed the orcs to make better use of the magic resources in the mountains, forming a more complex industrial division of labor and collaboration.
In contrast, the city of Brejak in the northeast does not belong to the city-state of the Prince's Court, and it is even rare to see the shadow of orcs or humans in the city.
On September 24, when Lant crossed the portal built by Shu Yun, the first thing he saw was a 30-meter-high beluga sculpture in the center of the city. There was a circle of water less than half a meter deep around the sculpture. The seats were filled with walruses, fur seals, sea lions, and seal orcs who were praying.
Looking at the large group of believers who were barely wearing any clothes, Lant looked embarrassed and asked Shu Yun in a low voice, "Sir, this city is a bit special!"
"This is a city composed of followers of Alice, the god of fjords. Your Excellency Alice now lives at the bottom of the Brejak Fjord. Your beloved is about to give birth recently, and the whole city is praying." Speaking of the birth of the beloved, Shu Yun rarely showed a worried look.
"Fjord? What is in front of us is not a lake, but an ocean?" Lant asked curiously.
"Yes, the Brejak Fjord reaches the Ice Sea in the north and stretches for 350 kilometers in total. It passes through many sea beast tribe and sea elf cities. The city of Brejak is the southernmost part of the fjord and the northernmost city of Hindukel. City."
Shu Yun saw that Lant had never heard of the fjord, so he introduced it in more detail: "In the war between the dragon clan and the sea clan, the mermaid clan originally had the support of the sea god's family, and could overwhelm the sea beasts and sea elves supported by the dragon clan. The high-ranking ones of the two were wiped out. Fortunately, the sea orcs discovered this fjord. The water temperature in the fjord was relatively cold, making it difficult for the sea monsters to reproduce. The mermaids were not adapted to the salinity in the fjord, so they gave the sea orcs and sea monsters a chance to survive. The elves have a chance of survival.”
"Ah, that's it!" Lant nodded.
"However, in the past ten years, the war in the ice sea has reignited. The mermaid tribe cooperates with the human pirates to block the two tribes' access to the sea at the mouth of the fjord all the year round. This has gradually reduced the number of middle-class members of the two tribes. In the future, unless Hong Longyan personally ends up, I am afraid that the two tribes will It will decline further in a few hundred years.”
The face of the Pandaren becomes more and more ugly as time goes by. Hundreds of years seem to be a very long time, but it is something that the legends can see.
Seeing the legendary panda like this, Lant could only nod his head and say nothing more.
The main body of Brejak's city is similar to a natural harbor: the northeast is the lake, and the other three sides are surrounded by mountains. The main buildings in the city are concentrated in a depression. Most of the buildings are flooded on the first floor, and the third and fourth floors above the second floor are similar to human houses. , below the first floor, there are also underwater rooms on the second and third floors.
If Lant wanted to travel through the city, he had to take a long and narrow boat called a "Dora Root". The boat was more than ten meters long. Each row of seats could only seat one Demon Holder. There was a manatee at the front of the boat. Pulled by orcs from the walrus tribe or the walrus tribe, it looks like a rickshaw in the water.
Looking at the surrounding buildings built in the water, Lant was also amazed and asked Shu Yun on the side: "I can understand that the sea beasts live in the water, but why do they build houses 2-3 stories above the ground? "
"Hahaha, what you see on the streets are all pure-blood sea beasts. Their hind limbs are almost completely the same as sea beasts, but they have some families and two complete legs, and they also need to live in a slightly dry place. The place."
Shu Yun smiled and said, "In addition, you may not know that sea lions, seals, fur seals, and walruses all have the habit of sunbathing. When the orcs of these races build houses, they will build large platforms on the roofs specifically for sunbathing. "
"Hmm~ That's a good idea," Lant nodded, wanting to give his own monsters the entire sunbathing platform.
"So Lord Lant, you must not fly over Brejak at will!" The panda looked at Lant and said meaningfully, "They don't wear anything in the water."
"Ah this..." Lant finally understood what Shu Yun was talking about.
Lant and the Pandaren were chatting animatedly when they saw a large, luxurious ship with decorations sailing past a hundred meters away.
There were more than a dozen sea beasts in front of the ship clearing the way, and a large group of sea otters escorted them behind. A Benma family flag fluttered in the wind on the bow of the ship. It looked like Bilant was in a much more pompous situation.
"This is……"
Seeing this scene, Lant knew that the "Father of the Basin" Rousseff Vichydno Galloping Horse was here. The main reason was that he did not expect that mentor Rousseff would have such a scene wherever he went.
"She's probably about to give birth. Please urgently invite Instructor Rousseff here." Shu Yun looked at the team over there and whispered, "Lant, the city lord here, Harald, is unable to accompany you to install the magic weapon due to official duties. Please don’t be offended, but he has arranged a lunch later and invites you to the Lord’s Mansion.”
"No problem," Lant showed magnanimity. After all, he made an agreement with the Temple of Commerce. It didn't matter to him whether there were local people attending. Moreover, the whole city was welcoming the birth of the God's Favorite. Naturally, the city lord had to devote himself wholeheartedly to this. Lant also understands this matter very well.
The magic furnace room is located under a mountain in the north of the city. During the recent installations, Shu Yun and Xiu Ming will prepare the magic furnace and most of the magic circles before Lant arrives. Lant only needs to connect the magic furnace to the magic network, and according to The specific situation of the magic furnace is to make a control core and build a control circle.
For Lant, practice has long made perfect. Every time he went to a new city to install a magic furnace, it was a shopping and sightseeing trip. Today, he had to dress up as a werewolf and use the alias Priest Waldi. Attend a lunch at the Beluga Temple in the middle of the city.
The city lord, the high-ranking walrus priest Harald, nicknamed "Blue Tusker", naturally knew about Lant's identity. During the banquet, Harald specially came to toast Lant, and also brought Rousseff over and said: " Tutor Rousseff, although this... young man looks like he belongs to the wolf tribe, he is actually your relative!"
With an embarrassed but polite smile on his face, Rant toasted to the two senior officials, "I have met with Director Rousseff several times, and it is a great honor to meet her again today."
In contrast, Rousseff was much calmer, smiling and clinking glasses with Rand: "Priest Waldi is really a young talent, and it is an honor for me to meet you here."
Rousseff had already guessed Rant's identity. The legendary dragon Zolaika even said two days ago that Rant was working closely with the Temple of Wealth. However, he did not expect that Rant could make Shu Yun do this when he was away from home. Accompanied by a legendary panda.
The luncheon did not last long. About half an hour later, Rousseff and Harald were asked to leave by the waiter. Others in the banquet hall also left the hall with understanding and went to the Beluga Temple to pray.
The Pandaren looked at the gradually emptying hall and knew that the White Whale God's Favorite was about to give birth, so he said to Lant: "Let's leave too."
