Chapter 645 The Goblins' Ambition
It's been delayed for quite a while...
Although it had only been a little over thirty days since Lorraine left the family cemetery, and only one day longer than the time her adoptive father had set...
Thirty-one days feels longer than two years.
Lorraine felt she was getting further and further away from her goal, further and further away from her teacher, and the road ahead was becoming more and more confusing and unfamiliar. It seemed that she had unknowingly lost many of the most important things in her life.
Was it that initial fighting spirit, or the Grand Master's dream?
Or perhaps it's simply a desperate struggle to escape control and survive...
Or perhaps it was completing some uncomfortable, tedious, and repetitive tasks. Lorraine couldn't quite put his finger on what was keeping him going. Maybe it was his friends, maybe his teachers, maybe it was just his adoptive father's amusement...
Further ahead lies a cold, underground megacity, shrouded in gray, interspersed with the strange clanging of railway tracks in the valley.
It seems the so-called levitation technology isn't what Lorraine imagined. How does the explosive kinetic energy from the chemical reaction sustain these high-speed steel magic trains? Lorraine is quite curious...
The train automatically slows down at the bend, which is the perfect opportunity to board. Several trains heading towards the main gate of the underground city are about to slow down at the low-lying corner ahead. The conveyor belts connect automatically, allowing goods and passengers to board safely, provided you get the distance and timing right. You'll need to master the skill of hooking up to the train, just like Brother San. It might require a bit of technique...
There is also a potential risk of being shattered to pieces.
For mages, Blink can solve any seemingly impossible terrain problem.
Riding in a vehicle that was rumored to be similar to the high-tech underground subway of Ironforge for the first time seemed quite novel... During his lifetime, Lorraine had never been to Ironforge, much less ridden the subway, and this was also his first time riding an airship. He had seen dwarven airplanes and steam tanks, but he had never operated them himself. Perhaps because they were enemy vehicles, Lorraine naturally overlooked them.
This time it's not an enemy, but an unknown so-called goblin train?
Isn't this experience just as thrilling as riding a bat through the skies of Tirisfal Glades for the first time?
actually...
Lorraine remained unmoved, as if the hearts of undead creatures were inherently unresponsive. Some things, once they become unchanging, can lead to numbness; only the bizarre changes, the uncertain surprises and unexpected events, are where hope and enjoyment lie.
......
The light in Lorraine's eyes, the fire of the dead, had not been extinguished; the abyss in her right eye was still spreading; and the power of the Ice Dragon's Tear in her left eye, the Eye of Ice, had not yet been fully released. She proceeded cautiously, and as long as she could rescue her companion Lilith first and then emerge from the ground to see the light of day again, she could reach the true land of the Black Book of the Dead's prophecy before the thirty-one-day deadline.
Complete the mission set by your godfather and awaken the teacher who has been silent for so long!
Only then can you understand where to go next and gain the upper hand...
Fortunately, all that trouble and rambling just now wasn't in vain. From the cunning goblin lord Kaz & Covent, Lorraine learned that the underground city's trains also went to Ratchet and the Horde territory of Razor Hill.
This network is expanding, but many nodes are still not connected...
It is said that some stations even connect to Azshara, and future plans even extend to the southern desert region. The Shimmering Plains and Gadgetzan routes are blocked by quilboars and centaurs. In the future, as long as Razorfen Downs is breached, a real underground goblin transportation network will be formed. This is the true ambition of venture capital firms; they are not content with just engaging in illegal activities.
The traditional sea lanes are the territory of the Blackwater Clique, while the goblin air routes are the territory of the Embroidered Water Clique. Kaz and his forces are building a goblin transportation network underground, and they have already received assistance from the Alliance and the Horde.
It also gained the approval of several major trading princes in the Goblin Trade Empire. As long as the territory of those barbarians is truly opened up, everything will fall into place and the future will be promising.
In particular, the High Chieftain has granted the Artisans' Guild the development rights to the area beneath the Barren Lands and the potential for a large tunnel. The Underground City, acting as a transit point and subcontractor, has naturally taken advantage of this situation. This is one reason why Kaz went ahead with the exploration of the Ancestral Altar in the Rift...
The goblins subtly revealed that the Horde Warchief and Thunder Bluff's hostility towards the quilboars and centaurs stemmed from other reasons beyond simply seizing territory. It was also a matter of the Horde's future. Similarly, the intelligent Jaina of Theramore would surely understand the implications.
It turns out that the higher-ups knew everything about the underground world; it was just that ordinary tribes and Alliance soldiers only knew about the battles on the surface...
However, there's one detail that involves the descendants of the Kaldorei...
The night elf druids were even more concerned about the destruction of the already riddled underground ecosystem of Kalimdor, and their attitude was quite subtle...
Perhaps the Alliance's leadership has realized that, just as the central part of the Eastern Kingdoms is mainly the Alliance's heartland, in Kalimdor, the Horde's two main cities, Orgrimmar and Thunder Bluff, also effectively divide the Alliance's potential for development on this continent.
The tribe's power grew day by day, especially as the Minotaur expanded southward from their original peaceful and secluded state.
The area around Mount Hyjal, the traditional territory of the Night Elves, no longer belongs entirely to them. They are constantly shrinking, while a portion of their power is cut off by Feralas. The struggle and exploration of the south has been put on the agenda.
The Alliance does not want the orcs to return, and peace in Azeroth seems a long way off.
The Draenei brought news from the Outland again, with humans repeatedly urging the Night Elves to abandon their traditional Buddhist-like approach and concept of balance, warning that the war in the Eastern Kingdoms would eventually spread to the other side of the sea.
However, the Zerg's unrest made the druids of the Cenarion Council feel a new crisis.
The threats left over from the War of the Ancients have already kept the Night Elves preoccupied with their own survival; the restless elemental spirits foreshadow the unrest of the elemental lords within the sealed lands... Everything is perplexing: the Emerald Dream is out of contact, the Archdruid is asleep, and the Green Dragonflight refuses to communicate...
The mysterious dragons seem to particularly despise human arrogance. The warnings and threats from the blue dragons have forced Dalaran to fly to the vicinity of the Nexus in Northrend to monitor the movements of both the Scourge and the blue dragons...
In short, the Earth Ring of the Horde sensed the potential threats to the world, but the goblins' petty actions were ignored, which only allowed them to develop rapidly... The commercial empire behind the world's number one Azeroth National Geographic Post Office is the real winner; the so-called Horde and Alliance are just foolish brutes...
From the goblin Kaz's mouth, Lorraine seemed to hear that the glory of the Horde and the Alliance was a joke. Lorraine didn't care much about that; goblins only cared about profit, and it was naked gold-coin worship that was nothing new to him...
The key point is that it can quickly reach some areas that Lorraine doesn't know. Sure enough, the underground city is the second hurdle that Old Chen mentioned. The difficulty may be a good thing, so this is an unexpected bonus.
......
For Lorraine, the world is so complex and diverse, there are actually many choices. The world of Azeroth is big enough, wide enough, and complex enough. Who says you have to stick to one path to the end?
There are many unknown surprises; how can you know what will happen next if you don't experience them for yourself?
To find out the specifics, we would have to go into the core control room of Katz & Covent, senior managers at the venture capital firm. Fortunately, Katz seems to have actually handed over the keys and the so-called access card.
