World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 386

c386 harvest festival

In mid-September, the world of Azeroth welcomed the annual Harvest Festival.

The Harvest Festival is a festival shared by the Horde and the Alliance. Many warriors in history have sacrificed their lives to help the Alliance. Every year, the Horde and the Alliance will commemorate the warriors and their respective heroes at a fixed time.

This time is chosen in the grain harvest season. During the festival, banquets will be held outside the cities of Ironforge and Orgrimmar. After commemorating the heroes of their respective camps, people can enjoy the harvested grain and drink sweet honey wine at the banquet.

This harvest festival was originally unrelated to the murlocs, but the oats planted in Ratchet Town just ushered in the first big harvest, so Yang Yi decided to hold the harvest festival in Ratchet Town to make the murlocs happy.

In this harvest season, Ratchet Town also ushered in another good news. The farmland channel irrigation system by the Angry River has been completed.

The engineering team sent by Gazlowe has not left yet and also participated in the harvest festival in Ratchet Town.

As a representative of Ratchet Town, Jagu has just completed the acceptance of the farmland channel irrigation system. At this time, he was greeting the members of the engineering team who had worked hard for several months at the banquet.

The team leader, the goblin Sputewaf, the excavation foreman, the dog-headed man Gibisnik, and the goblin McBurke who came to look for business opportunities, all three of them were participating in the Harvest Festival of the fishmen for the first time, sitting on the chairs and looking around like curious babies.

The fishmen of Ratchet Town also experienced the Harvest Festival for the first time. Everyone had no experience and didn’t know what to do at the Harvest Festival. For the fishmen, the festival was to eat delicious food, so it turned into a food festival for eating and drinking.

The Harvest Festival was held in the big square in front of the town center. When Yang Yi woke up from the mayor’s office in the morning, he found that the whole square had been decorated in a fancy way. The colored lights, flowered cloth, corals, shells, etc. used during the Spring Festival were all turned out, and all of them were strung on straw ropes in a colorful way, hanging all over the buildings, and they would rustle when the wind blew.

Needless to say, this aesthetic must have come from the hands of the deputy mayor, the blind old man.

The festival banquet started at noon and lasted until dark.

The fishmen like to sit on the ground and don’t like to eat and drink in front of the chairs. The fishmen who received the harvest festival food formed a circle by the puddle, sat down, and stuffed the food into their mouths with their hands. Some fishmen who are more particular will put a water grass mat under their buttocks and use shells as tableware when eating.

The goblins of the engineering team looked at each other in bewilderment. They, who sat at the table and used knives and forks to eat, became out of place here.

Yang Yi came to the table of the engineering team, thanked them, and paid them the engineering fee.

The old blind man took a boat to the Exile Port, and when he came back, all the ore and bombs on the boat were exchanged for golden coins. Yang Yi now lives a life with a mine at home. Hearing that the engineering team did not cut corners, he paid the engineering fee very readily.

Mojitov and Ratchet No. 2 also returned from Senjin Village.

The Darkspear trolls of Sen’jin Village launched a fierce offensive against the Echo Islands, and the war went on with some twists and turns.

After the battle began, the fishman stayed on the Ratchet II throughout the whole process, and was only responsible for using the fireworks cluster launcher to deal with Zalazane’s bat riders. He didn’t know much about what happened on the Echo Islands.

According to the news that Mojitov had inquired, at the end of the war, a group of adventurers infiltrated the Echo Islands and brought back Zalazane’s head.

The traitor witch doctor Zalazane was wiped out, and the Darkspear trolls could live in peace from then on.

Before Mojitov set off, Yang Yi gave him a task, asking him to pay attention to the injured bat mounts after the war, hoping to catch a few more.

Unfortunately, the luck was not very good. Although the fishman used the fireworks cluster launcher to knock down many troll bat riders this time, he did not catch the bat mount alive.

However, the trip to help Sen’jin Village in Ratchet Town was not without gain. After the battle, Master Warnar of the Darkspear Trolls was so happy that he took out two alchemical formulas for Mojitov on the spot, saying that they were for his only apprentice Yang Yi.

Yang Yi had already learned a level 1 [Super Glue] from Master Warnar. The two formulas he got this time were level 3 [Incendiary Bomb] and level 5 [Unstable Compound].

[Incendiary Bomb] is an explosive liquid thrown by the Troll Batrider. It can hurt people and burn buildings. It is perfect for killing people and setting fires.

[Unstable Compound] is a powder that can produce a huge explosion. The Troll Batrider relies on this when he self-destructs. This thing is suitable for the death squad to use. If it is not used well, it will be a waste of life.

Two of the three ships that set sail north together have returned, and only the one that transported Swat and his murloc ambushers has not returned.

Yang Yi calculated that Swat’s destination is Azshara, which is the longest round-trip voyage and the most time-consuming task, but it should be back soon.

“It’s a pity that Swat and his friends didn’t make it to the Harvest Festival and missed so many delicious foods.” Yang Yi thought.

Back to the Harvest Festival banquet, because Yang Yi paid the project fee promptly, the goblin Sputewaf smiled and toasted Yang Yi.

Yang Yi didn’t refuse, and toasted the goblin generously, and soon drank a lot of wine.

Jia Gu, who was drinking beside him, was addicted to alcohol and had already started drinking by himself.

There were also the kobold Gibisnik and the goblin McBurke at the same table. Yang Yi found that they had been silent, so he invited them to drink a few glasses as a host.

Yang Yi first raised his glass to the kobold: “Chief Gibisnik, let’s have a drink.”

“Oh, okay.” Gibisnik was stunned for a moment before reluctantly raising his glass.

Yang Yi raised his head and drank the wine, then asked: “The engineering team has received the engineering payment, and your excavation team can also receive wages. What else is there to be unhappy about?”

Gibisnik hesitated for a moment and said to Yang Yi: “My people, I want them to be free.”

Gibisnik is a sand tooth kobold, and he is from the same clan as the kobold slaves who mined in the canyon mine in Ratchet Town.

“You mean the kobold slaves bought in Ratchet Town, how do you want to set them free?” Yang Yi asked.

“Are our wages enough?” Gibisnik said.

Yang Yi shook his head: “Not enough, far from it.”

Gibisnik was silent.

Seeing the other party silent, Yang Yi also thought about it. The efficiency of the dog-headed slaves still needs to be improved, because they lack enthusiasm as slaves, and they need to be watched by fishmen all the time to prevent them from escaping.

It is better to do a favor and let these dog-headed people regain their freedom.

Of course, Yang Yi will not do a loss-making business.

Yang Yi said to Gibisnik: “We spent a lot of gold coins when we bought your people in Ratchet Town. Otherwise, your excavation team will stay to help Ratchet Town mine, and Ratchet Town will pay you wages. When you save enough money, you can redeem their freedom.”

Gibisnik was obviously moved after hearing this, but he hesitated and couldn’t make a decision.

Yang Yi knew there was a chance, and smiled and added: “Food and accommodation are provided.”

Hearing that food and accommodation are provided, Gibisnik’s eyes lit up and he immediately nodded in agreement.
