After handing over the intelligence, Mayor Solomon's face softened .
"It looks like the Gnolls have smartened up . The report says that they have formed a coalition with the Blackrock Orcs and intend to agree on a time to launch an offensive . I need more detailed reports . My friend, I want you to investigate the Rethban Cavern in the Western Red Ridge Canyon to find the dark-skinned Orcs," he said, then paused and continued intently, "If you find them, kill them and take any information on their corpses . "
"As you wish . "
The easiest task was to kill something .
Although the repeated expeditions had reduced their numbers, the Blackrock Orcs were still quite strong under their iron rule .
Lu Li and Water Fairy didn't need to go too deep into the camp . They just needed to kill a single pawn on the outskirts . As long as there weren't too many other monsters nearby, they could quickly clear out the remaining monsters as well .
Their goal was obvious – the Blackrock Attack Plan .
Since every Blackrock Orc had a chance of dropping this item, why would they go through the trouble of
finding a strong unit in the camp?
The book that was dropped was unexpectedly written in Orcish, which meant that they would run into the problem of translating it . Fortunately, Mayor Solomon hadn't forced Water Fairy or Lu Li to find a translator .
Instead, he asked them to rest in the town and instructed someone else to send a letter to the Draenei in the Swamp of Sorrows for a translation .
The Draenei people in the Swamp of Sorrow were self-proclaimed losers . Both they and the Orcs had descended from Draenor, but they were irreconcilable enemies . This was why they were able to interpret the obscure Orc language .
After the meeting, they had no idea when the letter would be returned, so they couldn't just go out training again .
Lu Li and Water Fairy now had a bit of free time, which was quite rare for them . They chose to stroll the around Lakeside Town, which was generally a lively area filled with players .
Although this cozy little town was quite noisy due to the travelers and the businessmen, the people here seemed content . There were people fishing or discussing the politics of Stormwind City while leisurely walking around the shops . Relaxed laughter floated above the bustle of the crowds, as if all the problems of the world could be easily solved .
The Lakeside Town hosted two festive celebrations each year during the middle of Summer and the middle of the Winter .
Although there were still several days away from the festival and the threat of the Gnoll attack made some people apprehensive, the atmosphere of the event was already firmly in place .
Some travelers even decided not to go to Stormwind; they preferred to live in the Lakeside Town .
The Lakeside Town was very welcoming of visitors . There were hotels and taverns where players could gather and drink together .
Players chatted loudly in there and gossiped about the town . Mayor Solomon, whom Lu Li and Water Fairy didn't like very much, was very popular . Most of the residents felt that it was because of his protection that they hadn't been disturbed by the Orcs and the Gnolls .
"In the future, when players are able to take pieces of land, I will take the Lakeside Town," Water Fairy said as she tilted her head and looked at Lu Li . She was implying a question – would he come and take it with her?
