Azeroth’s Death Track

The goblin Steamwheedle Consortium has almost monopolized the commercial trade in the entire southern border of Kalimdor.

It, together with the Bilgewater Consortium, venture capital companies, and the Dark Blade Consortium currently dominating the Eastern Continent’s Booty Coast, is currently one of the most financially powerful financial organizations in Azeroth. The Steam Sand Consortium’s headquarters is in Tanaris Gadgetzan, the commercial city of the desert, and Steamwheedle Port.

The Steam Sand Port, located at the northeast end of the Tanaris Desert, is the end point of the prestigious South China Sea Golden Sea Route. It is precisely because of this that the Steam Sand Consortium has accumulated terrifying power that can rival any empire in just a hundred years. financial resources.

But since it is a consortium, there must be different factions inside, just like the business alliance formed by geographical factors. They will gather together, twist into a rope, and unanimously external, but once there is no external pressure, then these shrewd goblin merchants will start a tragic internal fight.

After all, no matter how big this market is, it has its limits. If you occupy more of the factions within the consortium, it means that my profits will be shared a lot. Furthermore, all the bad qualities of the goblins who look at money in their nature have also intensified this kind of competition. Some cunning guys will even plan a series of assassinations in the city to attack the opponent's business forces.

Just like Heisuo, who was a small arms dealer who was still a rising star, encountered more than one bomb attack in Gadgetzan City. The weak Heisuo had to go far away to the Black Iron Region of the Eastern Continent.

After Blackfuse developed, this narrow-minded guy just returned to Kalimdor and planned a bomb revenge against the Steam Sand Consortium's port city, Briartooth City. That revenge burned down one-third of the port and made Relations between the Black Fuse and the Steamwheedle Cartel have turned sour.

And a story like this is not a special case in the business of the goblin civilization. The war between these little green-skinned men who are crazy about money is sometimes much more terrifying than the war between countries...

Marin Northenfogg, this is also a big businessman who has a similar experience to Hesso. In the first 30 years of his life, Marin was just a frustrated pharmacist, working for the Steam Sand Consortium in Gadgetzan, earning a lot of money. The salary is meager, but like every goblin, he has the crazy idea of ​​getting rich overnight. The difference between Marin and other goblins is that other goblins may be just fantasy, but Marin has put it into action.

Marin spent a full 4 years, constantly hiring various mercenary teams in the gaps between work, and traveled around the world to collect some messy materials for him. This behavior spent all of Marin's savings for more than 20 years, but This is worth it!

After countless failures, the alchemist finally succeeded in making a gadget called Norsenfogg Potion. Once this thing is drunk, it will randomly produce three effects: it will be reduced to one-tenth The size of the body, the lightness as if there is no weight, and the last strange undead.

In fact, Northenforge himself didn't know that his potion would have these three effects, but this did not affect the reputation of Northenforge's potion. At first, it was the Assassin League who noticed that this potion was sold in Gadgetzan. They paid a lot of money to buy a batch of weird potions, and then the empire, which was at the time of the Northern Xinjiang War, also noticed this potion that could be disguised as undead, and the Imperial War Department also bought a batch.

These two batches of successful businesses allowed Northenfogg to fulfill his dream of getting rich overnight. He became a rising star of wealth in Gadgetzan, successfully joined the Steamwheedle Consortium, and became a decent businessman. It didn't satisfy the greed in Northenfogg's bones, every goblin was as greedy as him... Northenfogg had money, and his vision became broader, he was no longer satisfied with being a rich man, he had new, ambitious goals.

He's going to be a trade prince! This is the noblest goal a goblin can have!

Of course, compared to this goal, the second goal that Marin Northenforge set for himself is much more realistic... He hopes to buy the entire Gadgetzan!

Now, at King Varian's private banquet, Marin suddenly discovered that perhaps, he was only one step away from his second goal...

And the price is that he may have to make a decision that affects the overall interests of the Steamwheedle Consortium...

But that is the interest of the Hot Sand Consortium, so what does it have to do with him? Is the Steamwheedle Consortium treating themselves well? Why should I consider their interests?

So Marin Northenforge hesitated for less than 5 seconds, nodded to Varian, and raised his glass more enthusiastically than before:

Of course, I believe it! Marin Northenforge will always be a trustworthy good friend of the Wrynn family and the Stormwind Kingdom!

————————————————————————

And while Marlin Northenforge was happily drinking with His Majesty Varian, in Gadgetzan, a goblin commercial city in the Tanaris Desert, the city under the night is not as good as Like other cities throughout Azeroth, they lose their vitality at night.

On the contrary, the lively life that goblins love becomes more wild and joyful at night.

Electric lights made by goblin engineers hang in Gadgetzan's main square, beneath those randomly entwined, sparking electric poles, and around a rough-hewn iron-caged fighting arena filled with blood and energy For the tourists who come from all over the world to watch the fun or travel here, in the sharp voice of the skilled goblin commentator, the crazy gladiatorial battles between man and beast, or simply between man and man It can make the audience's adrenaline surge.

And in this kind of hot iron cage fighting game, spending some money and placing a bet is a traditional entertainment here.

Every few days, there will be several lucky people who will get thousands of times, or even tens of thousands of times, for a few coins thrown at random, and as the stories of these lucky people spread all over the world, so will Attracted a lot of lazy and very sure about their own luck guys came to Gadgetzan to take a gamble.

Mentioning this, one cannot fail to mention another pillar industry of Gadgetzan, the casino!

Arthas and Jaina in disguise have seen the luxury of the goblin casino in Booty Bay, but compared to Gadgetzan's casino, Booty Bay is just a child who has just developed, and Gadgetzan's gambling has already formed Industry, the daily flow of gold coins in this city is enough to make the king of any kingdom feel jealous!

There are many professional gamblers active in the whole city, as well as many amateur gamblers, and most of them are unlucky ones who gamble on luck.

But these people's luck is not as good as they imagined... So the result is that Gadgetzan, a desert city nicknamed City of Paradise, is full of homeless refugees, a group of gamblers and Dream seekers, many people lose their dreams here every day, and then become one of the huge number of slums.

And no matter what civilization it is, once the poor population in the city reaches a certain limit, the city's law and order will inevitably decline, and gangsters will flourish. In the dark zone of Gadgetzan, there are three major forces competing for this place. The underground sites of the city... the Dirty Hand Party, the Dark Gold Sect and the Yulian Gang.

Let’s not mention the latter two forces. Those two forces have special origins behind them, have specific goals, and their actions are extremely secretive. However, the Dirty Hand Party is a black gang born and raised in Gadgetzan, and it is also the most powerful one. .

That night, on the territory of the filthy gang, in a small alley on the edge of a certain city, a strange face wearing a black hood was stopped by a few rough thugs at a dark corner.

It was an ogre wearing a dirty suit and carrying a semi-automatic rifle, and several orcs and trolls carrying pistols in their hands.

Since the Dark Blade Legion has developed this thermal weapon, which was not valued by people, into an art. These murderous creations of engineering have become popular all over the world, and Gadgetzan's gang of dirty hands are not immune, and the dirty hands have cooperation with some goblin arms dealers, so they can get enough, powerful The huge gadgets gave them almost an advantage when competing for territory.

Hey chick.

The rude ogre waved the half-new and half-old semi-automatic rifle in his hand, and shouted viciously in human language with an accent:

You're new here, aren't you?

Facing his questioning, the hooded woman did not speak, and this attitude angered the ogre, who pressed the cold barrel of the gun in his hand against the slender woman's forehead, his The two heads cursed arrogantly together:

Either join the Foul Hand! (Or get out of Gadgetzan!)

oh?

Facing this substantive threat, the human woman with the black hood finally reacted. She raised her head, revealing a pair of eyes full of cold killing intent, and said in a low and hoarse voice:

I think, I can choose the third option!

There is no third clause!

The ogre roared angrily and was about to pull the trigger, but the next moment, the slender and slightly short woman flicked her hands, and two small silver revolvers fell into her palms. In a flat move, before several other people could react, two bullets exploded the heads of the two punks. At the moment when the blood was splattered, a fight with no technical content at all took place in this dark place. The alley exploded.

In less than 10 seconds, the ogre with a broken leg screamed and lay on the ground, trying to escape in the chaos, but was stepped on the wound by the evil star behind him, the painful ogre The whole body trembled.

The girl patted the ugly head of the ogre with the silver muzzle that was still emitting gunpowder gunpowder, and she whispered:

You scumbag, I'm saving your life because you're useful to me...Listen, I hear there's an old goblin named Dr. Boom? Take me to him!

Ah! You are crazy!

When the ogre heard the name, it screamed like a chicken whose neck had been cut off:

I'm not going! That old madman will blow my brain out with a bomb and eat it with bread, a real madman! He lives in the last house on the street ahead! Go find it! Then let me go...

oh?

The human girl who killed 5 people because of a disagreement reached out and pulled her hood. She shrugged and aimed the gun at the heart of the ogre:

I know he lives there, which means you're useless... right?

Goodbye, then... the filthy bastard!

boom

Ten minutes later, in the gloomy night of Gadgetzan, Sonia, a high-ranking agent from SI:7, came to the residence of that strange goblin. The building that appeared in front of her was simply miserable, like a It was a good house, but it was blown to pieces several times, and then it was barely put together again.

Full of a wild temperament of post-modern style.

Sonia shook her head. It was hard for her to imagine what kind of lunatic would live in such a place that could collapse at any time.

But a mission is a mission...

In the dictionary of MI7, the failure of a mission usually only means one kind of situation...and Sonia absolutely and absolutely does not want to appear in Boss Shaw's battle damage report in that kind of situation.

She is the best student that Shaw personally trained, so she won't die in such a hellish place!

Sonia approached this weird house very carefully. At a distance of just 50 meters, she found 17 landmines made of high explosives buried under the ground, and 23 small mechanical devices that would trigger alarms. The most terrible thing is that Sonia herself doesn't know if she has found all the hidden dangerous items...

Damn it! This place is crazier than Darkblade's combat zone!

Sonia wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and she moved forward slowly in a way of moving her feet. Judging from the current observations, as long as she is a little careless, the explosives buried in the ground will kill her and the whole world. Blocks blown to pieces together.

No wonder, before he set out on the mission, Boss Xiao repeatedly emphasized that he must be careful, more careful...

Along with Sonia lightly dodging a rope that tripped mines, at the moment she landed on the ground, she keenly heard the sound of the machine spring being pressed down, accompanied by a slight sinking of her left foot, which made Sonya Ya's back was immediately covered with a layer of cold sweat... She knew that she had stepped into a trap.

But to be honest, it's no wonder that Sonia is not good at learning. Walking on such a narrow ground with a frenzied bomb density, the skills she showed are already quite terrifying.

But now, Sonia, who was completely trapped, had no choice. She could only pull out the tools, and while releasing the trap under her feet, she shouted loudly:

Dr. Boom! If you can hear me! I meant no harm...

Hessuo and Mekkatorque High Craftsman jointly recommended me to come here... You should still remember them, they claim to be your friends...

boom

As soon as the words fell, the closed door of the dilapidated building in front of Sonia opened...
