World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 364
c364 Magatha’s dirty work
Yang Yi entered Magasa’s tent alone, and he found that even Kaya did not follow.
The tent was empty except for the dancing flames on the brazier. Magatha was the only one sitting quietly on the blanket on the ground.
Magatha’s eyes were closed, as if she was asleep.
This tauren old woman is one of the three giants of Thunder Bluff, and a hero-level figure. After Yang Yi came in, he didn’t dare to move. He stood at a certain distance and made up his mind to wait and see.
During the few days he stayed in Thunder Bluff, Yang Yi learned a lot about Magatha.
The strongest tauren shaman in Thunder Bluff has never liked staying in the soul hut in Soul Highlands because she does not get along with the old-fashioned tauren shamans in philosophy.
Magatha believes in the theory of “soul wrath” and firmly believes that the land is terminally ill and in urgent need of a thorough cleansing. Most tauren shamans do not like Magatha’s philosophy of destruction, but insist on the harmony passed down from their ancestors.
If it weren’t for the active mediation of Tauren Warchief Kane, Soul Highlands wouldn’t even be able to maintain the current fragile peace situation.
Magatha closed her eyes and made no movement, and Yang Yi was not in a hurry. He thought that the other party came to him on his own initiative, so there must be a follow-up.
Sure enough, after waiting patiently for a while, there was finally some movement.
Yang Yi saw Magasa’s eyelids twitching slightly at the same time.
Then I saw a note floating down from the top of the tent.
The sticky note floated in front of Yang Yi, and he reached out to catch it.
Holding the note, Yang Yi observed Magasa and found that she was still sitting in meditation with her eyes closed.
Seeing this, Yang Yi understood that this note was specially given to him by Magatha.
I opened the note and looked at it. Sure enough, there was a message written for myself on it.
Looking at the words on the note, Yang Yi’s heart was in turmoil.
When he finished reading the last word, the note paper in Yang Yi’s hand suddenly burst into flames.
The flames quickly engulfed the note, leaving not even a trace of ashes behind, as if the note had never existed.
Wow, you’re destroying evidence, why should you be so professional?
Yang Yi complained in his heart.
What was written on the note was the task given to Yang Yi by Magatha.
This task is not a good thing, it is a very dirty job, and Yang Yi is very resistant in his heart. But when he thought about the alliance with the tauren, he still had to rely on Magatha, and he hesitated.
When Yang Yi hesitated, the flames on the brazier began to sway crazily.
The fire suddenly surged, as if someone poured a bucket of fuel into a brazier.
The flames that burst out from the brazier rolled towards Yang Yi like a living creature, instantly surrounding him and circling rapidly.
The heat wave hit, and Yang Yi thought that he was going to hang here.
The next moment, the heat wave subsided and the flames shrank back to the brazier.
Everything is back to normal, as if nothing had happened.
What is going on? Is Magatha, the shaman, controlling the flames?
Yang Yi was frightened. This was obviously Magasa warning him.
I have already read the contents on the note. It seems that I have to do this job, otherwise it will become a grilled fish.
Yang Yi retreated silently and left Magatha’s tent.
From the beginning to the end Magatha had been sitting quietly on the blanket, not speaking a word or even opening her eyes.
Seeing Yang Yi come out of the tent, Kaya, who was waiting outside, didn’t ask a single unnecessary question. She led Yang Yi and Silk to the flight point and watched them leave Thunder Bluff.
We were speechless all the way back to the backwater village.
The little murloc who was guarding the empty wine barrel in the backwater village screamed happily when his teacher Slark came back. When he discovered that Slark had many terrible scars all over his body, he started to cry again.
When Slak was besieging the multi-headed snake Gshalahan, most of his dorsal fin was corroded by venom. This time, he was bitten by two ghost wolves, leaving no scales on his body. Although the injury was healed, it still left scars all over his body.
Slark looked very miserable. No wonder the little murloc Empty Wine Barrel cried with concern.
Slark coaxed and lied, saying that he was just a minor skin injury, and finally managed to get the little murloc to stop crying.
“Tell me what happened in Backwater Village during this time.” As soon as Slack came back, he became concerned about the affairs of Backwater Village. As the village chief of Backwater Village, he was very conscious.
The little fishman’s empty wine barrel wiped his tears and reported the situation in the village while sobbing. “After the orcs defeated the centaurs, the orc army left the village. I saw them heading north. But not all the orcs left. There was still a group left in the backwater oasis. It is said that they want to build a tribal outpost nearby.”
After listening to the words of the little murloc about emptying the wine barrel, Slack first looked at Yang Yi.
The murloc’s empty wine barrel is also the same as Slark’s.
In the eyes of the fishmen in Ratchet Town, Yang Yi is the backbone.
Yang Yi was a little absent-minded at this time, he was still thinking about Magasa.
Seeing the two murlocs looking at him, Yang Yi said: “The Orcs’ Warsong Legion was originally going to be sent to Ashvale, but this time it was just temporarily transferred to the Barrens to deal with the centaurs, so they defeated the centaurs. Then we went to the Ashen Valley in the north.”
“What about the orcs who stayed in the backwater oasis to build a stronghold?” Slark asked.
“We are lucky that these orcs can return the backwater village to us. We can’t stop the orcs from building a stronghold.” Yang Yi said.
Slark nodded after listening. Yang Yi made the decision, and he just followed.
“It seems that Deadwater Oasis will not be peaceful in the future. You should take good care of the fishmen in the village and don’t let them cause trouble.” Yang Yi thought about it and was still worried, so he added another sentence. “We fishmen should keep a low profile for the time being to avoid attracting attention.”
The two fishmen nodded seriously.
Yang Yi stayed in Deadwater Village for only a short while, and then he flew to Ratchet Town.
As soon as he returned to Ratchet Town, Yang Yi sent the patrol fishmen to summon all the fishmen in the town to the town center to discuss things.
The patrol fishmen ran to call people, and Yang Yi stayed alone in the town center and began to think about meeting Magasa.
There was only one thing written on the note paper that Yang Yi saw in Magasa’s tent. The old tauren woman wanted Yang Yi to help her do dirty work.
Magatha wanted Yang Yi to release the plague of the dead, or more precisely, to use the blight fungus on the thornback boarmen living in Mulgore.
As for the purpose of Magatha asking Yang Yi to do this, the note that was later burned did not mention it.
When Yang Yi first learned that he was going to do this, he was very resistant. If others knew about this, it would be enough to be put on a hundred wanted orders.
But Magatha did not give Yang Yi a chance to choose. When Yang Yi read the note, it was like getting on a pirate ship. He had to work with Magatha or become Magatha’s enemy.
Become the enemy of a hero-level figure?
Or a hero-level figure like Magatha who is notorious.
Yang Yi dared not imagine it.
“Secretly go to the Tauren Chieftain Cain to report Magatha? But the note was burned to ashes on the spot, and there was no evidence at all. And the incident has not happened yet, so what can I do if I report it.”
Yang Yi thought about it and gave up the idea.
If Magasa can’t be killed immediately, then reporting is tantamount to suicide.
Yang Yi recalled the process of meeting Magasa.
Magasa was very cautious. She closed her eyes the whole time and didn’t say a word. She relied on sticky notes to convey information, and then destroyed the sticky notes.
“It seems that the rumor is true. Cain left Magasa in Thunder Bluff to monitor her, so Magasa was so cautious. At the same time, Magasa must have secretly mastered Cain’s every move, otherwise she wouldn’t know that Yang Yi asked her for help for the alliance.” Yang Yi guessed.
The murlocs called by the patrol murlocs came one after another.
First, four murlocs were summoned, namely Old Blind Eye, Brak, Thief Eye and Magofen.
These four murlocs are all high-level combat professionals, and together with Yang Yi, they are the highest combat power in Ratchet Town.
There is also a brocade fishman, Jagu, who is half a murloc. He usually stays at the farm by the Nushui River, and it will take some time for him to come here.
Ratchet Town has only this little strength, but Yang Yi dared to go to Thunder Bluff to talk to Cain about the alliance. He was also very bold.
Fortunately, the Tauren are kind by nature, Cain did not say anything absolute, but gave him a chance. For example, the orc Eitrigg said bluntly that the murlocs were not qualified to join the tribe.
When the smell of alcohol came, the drunk Jagu finally arrived.
Everyone was finally here.
Yang Yi asked Jagu to sit down and started to talk about things.
Magatha’s affairs must be kept absolutely confidential. Yang Yi made up his mind that he could only do it alone, so he didn’t plan to tell anyone.
What Yang Yi wanted to discuss with them was to help the Tauren deal with the Harpy.
This time when he went to Mulgore, he learned about the situation from Baine.
After Baine led the Tauren to drive the gnolls back to their old nest, White Mane Stone, he planned to pursue the victory and attack the Harpy entrenched in the mountains around Mulgore. The murlocs were not fighting alone in Mulgore this time, but were going to cooperate with the tauren of Bloodhoof Village, and the main force of the battle was still the tauren.
Although they were just going to cooperate, Mulgore was a certain distance away from Ratchet Town after all. Sending the murlocs there this time could be considered a small expedition, so arrangements had to be made in advance.
The murlocs of Ratchet Town had fought as far as Dustwallow Marsh, but they went there by boat every time, and logistical supplies could be transported there on the same ship. This time, Ratchet Town could not afford to hire so many flying mounts or goblin airships when sending the murlocs to Mulgore, so they could only march on land. Along the way, supplies, possible dangers, and the transportation of the fireworks bouquet launcher, a weapon against the harpy, all needed to be paid attention to.
These murlocs under his command might not be as smart as humans, but there were also advantages. Unlike humans, murlocs do not have so many twists and turns in their minds, and do not have so many self-interested calculations. When Yang Yi said that he would send the murlocs to Mulgore to help the tauren deal with the harpy, no murloc raised any objections, let alone lamentations and complaints.
Here, Yang Yi has the final say, and he is quite comfortable as the mayor.
The only thing to discuss afterwards is who to send and how many fishmen to bring.
Everyone obeys Yang Yi’s words, and after listening to everyone’s opinions, Yang Yi makes a decision on the spot and discusses the result.
Yang Yi thinks that if there are fewer people, it will be dangerous, so it is better to use all his strength.
This time, all the families of Ratchet Town will go!
