Yang Yi returned to Ratchet Village from the water forging house on the seaside. Although the water forger Kagumoji promised to work hard to forge the clam shell shield, he was the only water forger in the village and he had to forge enough equipment for a murloc brigade. The clamshell shield took too long to wait. Yang Yi came to the level 3 tannery in the village with a clam shell shield. The tannery is a general-purpose building. After it is upgraded to level 3, it is already a large earth and stone house of more than 200 square meters. Yang Yi walked in. There were more than twenty murloc leatherworkers and leathermaking apprentices busy in the tannery. The talent of the murlocs in leathermaking is also very average. Although it is not as difficult as it is for a murloc to become a blacksmith, none of the murloc leathermakers in the village has been upgraded to a high-level leathermaker after such a long time. The leathermaking talents of the current intermediate murloc leatherworkers are not very high. None of them have talents related to leathermaking, and only a few have expertise such as dexterity and craftsmanship. When Yang Yi, the village chief, walked in, the fishmen in the tannery immediately stopped what they were doing and said hello to the village chief. Yang Yi let the murlocs continue with their work, and only called one of the intermediate murloc leatherworkers over. This mid-level murloc leathermaker has the expertise of "Dexterous Hands (B)" and "Meticulousness (C)" and is currently the best murloc leathermaker in Ratchet Village. "There is a clam shell shield here. Let's see if we can add a layer of armor to this shield." Yang Yi told the fishman leatherworker, and he handed the clam shell shield he brought to him. "Yes, village chief." The fishman leatherworker took the clam shell shield with both hands. He put the shield on a large table without saying a word, and then took out a large pile of medium-sized armor pieces. Armor pieces are usually installed on breastplates, leggings and other defensive equipment to improve the defense of the equipment. This kind of installation does not require too complicated skills. The fishman leatherworker took out the leathermaking tools and began to try to cover the clam shell shield with a layer of armor. Yang Yi, who had nothing to do, took a tour of the tannery. The murloc leatherworkers here basically produce armor pieces and some low-level leather equipment. Because there are no excellent murloc leatherworkers, the tannery in Ratchet Village cannot take the high-end route. It has always been mainly producing leather armor pieces and low-grade leather suits of ordinary quality. These armor pieces and leather suits are generally rarely used by the murlocs in the village. They are mainly used to sell them to outsiders, relying entirely on small profits but quick turnover to make money. Nearly an hour later. The fishman leatherworker finally succeeded in covering the clam shell shield with a medium-sized armor piece. This leather clam shell shield looks a bit nondescript. Yang Yi took the shield and knocked it twice with his hand. The shield made a dull sound and it felt pretty good. [Ordinary water-forged hard-shell clam shield] [Quality: Ordinary] [Shield] [Level: Level 1] [Remarks: Equip medium-sized armor pieces to improve defense] "Although it is still a level 1 ordinary quality shield, the medium-sized protective shield is The armor has improved the defense. The defense of this shield should be close to the level of a level 2 shield." Yang Yi praised the fishman leatherworker after seeing that it was possible to install armor on the clam shell shield. The tannery. "Currently it is not enough to rely solely on the murlocs in the village to make shields. The Kokal centaur will come again at any time. At present, we still need to spend some money to buy some shields and equip a team of fighting murlocs first." Yang Yi thought to himself. For the time being, we still have to rely on external purchases of equipment for emergencies, but the village has finally started to forge shields, and it should be self-sufficient after a while. The tannery is built next to the central square of the town. When Yang Yi walked out of the tannery, the old blind man came to the square with the murlocs who were cleaning up the battlefield. The fishmen responsible for cleaning up the battlefield each held several pieces of equipment, which were all trophies captured on the battlefield. "Lord." The old blind man ran over after seeing Yang Yi. He reported: "Lord, a total of 150 longbows were seized, as well as nearly 200 long spears, axes and other melee weapons." "Very good. , put away the unused equipment and sell it to a goblin merchant someday," Yang Yi said. Centaurs are tall and powerful. The long bows, big spears, big axes and other weapons they use are not suitable for use by the fishmen, and these weapons can only be sold. "Lord, what should we do with those centaur prisoners?" asked the old blind man. "Kill them all, and then cut off their left legs." Yang Yi said harshly. The centaurs are a race that is cruel and fearless, even to their own tribesmen. To them, the captured tribesmen are no different from being killed in battle. There was no use keeping these centaur prisoners in Ratchet Village, so Yang Yi directly ordered them all to be killed. PresentThere are still bounties on Kokar centaurs at the crossroads, and the left ears of these centaurs are proof of receiving the bounty. Although the murlocs in Ratchet Village do not go to the crossroads, they can sell these centaur ears to pioneers or goblin merchants. The old blind man went to arrange for the fishmen to deal with the captured centaurs. At this time, the tauren Bain and Jerrick also came over. "Chief of the Ratchet Murloc Village. Taking advantage of the Centaur's defeat, we plan to take another trip to Thunder Peak with the soothing potion." Jerrick said. "After appeasing the Kodo beast, I will go directly to the crossroads. This time we are here to say goodbye." Bain continued. "Are you leaving now?" Yang Yi thought that the mission of retaining the two tauren was indeed unreliable. He said: "These violent Kodo beasts have something to do with our Ratchet Village. Let me take Ratchet with me." The murlocs from Chi Village will accompany you to Thunder Peak, lest those centaurs come out to cause trouble again. " Yang Yi is going to Thunder Peak with two tauren. The two tauren know that Yang Yi is worried that they will be attacked by centaurs again. The attack by men and horses was therefore not refused. There are six kodo egg-laying valleys on Thunder Peak, and the kodo eggs have been hatching for more than two months now. Originally, the kodos gathered here at this time were leaving with their cubs, but at this time, the irritable adult kodos were still lingering under Thunder Peak. Jerrick seems to have a natural affinity for kodos. He can slowly walk up to the irritable kodos and feed them a soothing potion. Jerrick gently stroked the kodo beasts' heads with his hands, and these peaceful kodo beasts began to take their cubs away from the egg-laying valley of Thunder Peak and begin their long journey. After the defeat, the Kokar centaurs seemed to have hid in their camp. At the end of the day, the murlocs of Ratchet Village followed the two tauren throughout the Kodo Egg-laying Valley. They successfully calmed down all the irritable adult Kodos, and Thunder Peak seemed to have calmed down. Bain and Jerick left, and Yang Yi and the murlocs from Ratchet Village returned to the murloc village. This trip to Thunder Peak still had a lot of gains for Ratchet Village. The Kodo cubs whose parents were hunted by centaurs lost care. Yang Yi asked the murlocs in the village to take them all back to the Kodo Valley in Ratchet Village. The two tauren left, and the Kokal centaur had just calmed down after a defeat. Yang Yi began to arrange for the murlocs in the village to dig copper mines. For the sake of safety, Yang Yi does not plan to build a mine on land now. He decided to send fishmen to dig copper mines in the deep sea like the fishman village in the canyon. Yang Yi asked the murlocs in the village to take the captured murloc slaves to the trench. Previously, Yang Yi had only investigated the situation under the trench from a distance, and had not actually seen the copper veins. So he went along this time to see the details. This seabed copper vein is in the deep-sea trench under the Tidus Stairs. Yang Yi followed the murloc slaves who once mined in the trench and dived down for a long time before arriving at the mining site. At this depth, it is almost pitch black. The fish-man's big eyes are like two small round lanterns in this environment. This is the light reflected by the fish-man's big eyes. Although the fish-man has night vision, he can only see the ten things in front of him. Blurry image from a few meters away. The experienced fishman slaves skipped work and immediately started mining with mining picks. The copper ore nearby was basically exposed on the sea rocks. It is relatively easy to collect. The murloc slaves absented themselves from work and started working. Yang Yi led the fighting murlocs to patrol around the mining site. It's very quiet here, and basically nothing was found after a patrol. "It is said that the stepped terrain of the Tidus Stairs extends all the way to the bottom of the sea, even to the sunken city of Kaldorei, but no one has ever confirmed this rumor." Yang Yi remembered the legend about the Tidus Stairs in the deep sea trench. , it is said that the Kaldorei city sank into the deep sea after the explosion of the Well of Eternity. According to records, the war between humans and orcs broke out 10,000 years ago. The world of Azeroth has only one huge land surrounded by boundless oceans, and the name of this land is Kalimdor. At that time, many different races and creatures lived on the land of Kalimdor and struggled with the harsh natural environment. At that time, the center of Kalimdor was a lake full of mysterious energy. This lake was called the Well of Eternity. This Well of Eternity was the source of magic and natural energy for the entire world of Azeroth. The Well of Eternity draws energy from the boundless darkness outside the world of Azeroth and continuously releases energy to the entire world of Azeroth. This energy provides nutrients for all kinds of creatures in the world of Azeroth. Kaldorei is the ancient name of the night elves. At that time, the Kaldorei built a magnificent city near the Well of Eternity. But the KaldoreiThe leader, Queen Azshara, caused the destruction of the Well of Eternity for some reason. The destruction of the Well of Eternity caused a huge explosion, a devastating and horrific result that tore the entire world apart. The powerful earthquake caused by the explosion of the Well of Eternity completely changed the world of Azeroth. Seawater roared into the cracks in the continent of Kalimdor, and most of the land of Kalimdor was torn apart. Only a few fragmented continents were left surrounding the newly formed ocean. At the center of the new ocean is where the Well of Eternity once existed, now a huge whirlpool of chaotic energy. This terrible whirlpool is endlessly spinning crazily. It is a relic of that cataclysm and the end of an ideal era. This newly formed ocean is called the Endless Sea, and many years have passed since the great catastrophe. But even now it is not easy to cross the endless sea. "Now that we're all here, we have to dive down and give it a try. It should be much easier as a fishman to find the city that sank to the bottom of the sea." Yang Yi decided to dive into the depths to have a look. He didn't know Where was the legendary sunken Kaldorei city, so he left the other fighting murlocs behind and dived directly down to the mining site with a team of fighting murlocs. It was pitch black in the deep sea, and there was silence all around. Yang Yi and a group of murlocs kept diving down, and he felt as if he was in endless silence and darkness. Because there was no reference anywhere, Yang Yi and the others seemed to have no effect no matter how hard they tried to swim downstream. "This feeling is really terrible." Yang Yi felt furious. He didn't know how long he had been swimming. Yang Yi raised his head and looked at the sea. It was also dark above. "It's not okay to go on like this. If we continue to dive, we won't even be able to distinguish between up, down, left and right. If we lose our way in the endless darkness of the deep sea, it will be tragic." Yang Yi stopped quickly. He gave up the idea of ??continuing to dive. The sunken cities of the Kaldorei may be tempting, but it's not worth losing your life for. Yang Yi and a group of murlocs began to swim upstream. As time went by, a hazy bright color gradually appeared above their heads. Only then did Yang Yi feel at ease. "No wonder no one can find the sunken Kaldorei city. It is very difficult for fishmen, a race that can live in the deep sea, to dive down, let alone people from other races." Yang Yi gradually felt relieved. At this time, a blue light suddenly appeared in the sea water in the distance. This bright light was not big, and it was far away from Yang Yi and the others, but it was extremely obvious in the dark sea water. "Village chief, there is light over there." The fishmen following Yang Yi also discovered the blue light group in the deep sea, and they immediately reported it to Yang Yi. Yang Yi stopped and looked at the direction of the electric light. The blue light group in the deep sea lasted for a few seconds and then disappeared without a trace. After Yang Yi and the others waited and watched for a while, they still didn't find the electric light appearing again, so Yang Yi took the fishman and continued to swim upstream. "Village Chief, the light has appeared again!" After continuing to swim upstream for a few minutes, a fishman suddenly shouted. Yang Yi turned around and saw that the blue light group had indeed appeared again, and it seemed to be a little bigger. "Well, something is strange, it seems to be coming towards us." Yang Yi realized that it was not the light group that had become larger. Instead, the light group approached in their direction. "Go upstream at full speed!" Yang Yi immediately ordered. Yang Yi remained absolutely cautious regarding this unknown light group that appeared deep in the seabed. Yang Yi led the fishman upstream at full speed, and the light group appeared again, becoming bigger and bigger. The closer to the sea surface, the brighter the light in the sea water became. Yang Yi finally used the eagle eye technique to see the true face of the light group when he was approaching the mining point. It was emitted by a creature the size of a three-year-old child. It looked like a combination of the upper body of a human and the lower body of a python. "This is a naga!" Yang Yi recognized it. This was a small naga, and it was a female naga. The Naga tribe is a powerful aquatic tribe in the ocean. They often enslave fishmen as slaves. They also domesticated many powerful creatures such as dragon turtles and flying snakes for them to drive. It is said that the Nagas were once ancient night elves. They were distorted and transformed into the snake-like creatures they are today due to the energy impact of the explosion in the Well of Eternity. The little naga seemed to be avoiding something, and this naga's eyesight was much stronger than that of Yang Yi and the others. She seemed to have seen Yang Yi and the others in the dark deep sea from the beginning. After seeing the fish crowd, the little naga was not afraid, but instead?Still happy. She quickly swam towards Yang Yi and his group of murlocs. After a few breaths, Yang Yi discovered that more than a dozen small red bright spots appeared behind the little naga. These small red bright spots were moving two by two close together, which looked very strange. "That's the lobster man." A fish man said. Those red highlights are actually the small eyeballs on the vertical eyes of the lobster people. These lobster people living in sea water also have night vision, so their eyeballs will reflect red light in the dark. "It turns out they are lobster men. It seems there are only seven or eight in number. I don't know why they are chasing this little naga. Is it because they don't want to be a delicious meal for the naga so they rioted?" Yang Yi understood after hearing the reminder from the fish man. come over. The Nagas enslave the fish people mainly to do cool labor, but the Nagas keep the lobster people in captivity mainly to eat shrimp meat. The lobster people deeply hate the Nagas. The little naga swam over quickly, and Yang Yi gathered all the fighting murlocs together just in case. "You Mugels, stop those lobster men!" After approaching Yang Yi and the others, the little Naga suddenly shouted at them, sounding like he was giving an order to the fish men. Yang Yi was startled when he heard this. The little guy was very energetic and his words were quite arrogant. It's just that the little guy doesn't seem to be very clear-headed, and she probably doesn't understand the situation in front of her.
