Chapter 693 Desert Vortex Bar

Elwin frowned, walked to the entrance of a relatively sturdy bunker, and knocked on the heavy metal door: "Hey! Goblins inside, the bandits have been driven away, it's safe now, come out!"

A small observation hole opened in the metal door, and Chief Engineer Bigewiz's eyes, filled with terror and anger, appeared behind it. He shrieked, "Come out? Come out so you can rob us?! You're worse than those bandits! Bandits only want water and supplies! You...you have a dragon! You're trying to lure us out and then plunder us and the city, or burn Gadgetzan down like you said! We won't fall for it!"

Alvin was amused and exasperated by his peculiar thought process, and snapped, "I only said that to scare the robbers away! Otherwise, you would have been robbed clean by now! Open the door!"

"It's a liar!"

Noggenfogger's voice came from another bunker, carrying the characteristic suspicion of goblins.

"Who knows if you're in cahoots with the robbers, putting on a show for us! First, you drive the robbers away to gain our trust, then slowly empty our wallets! Finally, you sell us to human traffickers! We've seen this kind of business tactic many times!"

Elwin was speechless for a moment. He strongly suspected that what this guy was saying was exactly what goblins always did.

Feeling that there was no reasoning with these goblins, he continued to patiently explain, "Listen, we have important business to attend to in Gadgetzan. We have no ill intentions and only helped out because it happened to be the right time."

"Something you need to do?"

Bigewitz seemed even more suspicious.

"You let it slip, didn't you? You really did come to deal with us! Good heavens! What sins have we Gadgetzan committed?!"

Seeing that his kind words were ineffective, Erwin's patience finally ran out.

He wasn't exactly a patient person to begin with, so he took a few steps back and winked at Akalitha.

Little Red Dragon understood, and she tilted her head back, her throat glowing red again.

She suddenly unleashed a massive fireball at a solitary sandy hill several miles north of Gadgetzan!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The deafening explosion resounded through the sky!

The fireball struck the top of the hill precisely, instantly blasting the summit off the hill!

Pebbles scattered like raindrops, and flames and thick smoke rose from the spot as if it had just been struck by a meteorite!

The entire city of Gadgetzan could feel the violent tremors and scorching heat.

"I'm saying this for the last time: get out of those turtle shells right now! I'll count to three, and if anyone still dares to hide inside, I'll have my buddies blow this lousy city of yours up to the sky, just like that mountain!"

His words, coupled with the distant ruins of the mountain still emitting black smoke, created an overwhelming sense of intimidation.

"one!!!"

A series of chaotic crashing sounds and screams came from inside the bunker.

"two!!!"

"Don't bomb! Don't bomb! We're coming out! We're coming out right now!"

Bigewitz's wailing screams came from the bunker.

Almost the instant Elwynn was about to utter the word "three," the metal doors of bunkers throughout Gadgetzan were pushed open in a frenzy, and hordes of goblins, pale-faced and trembling, poured out and obediently gathered in the square.

These short creatures kept their heads down, not daring to even breathe, and secretly glanced at Elwin and the terrifying red dragon with fearful eyes.

Seeing the goblins finally cooperating, Elwin sighed helplessly.

Sometimes, when dealing with these suspicious people, a simple and direct approach is the most effective.

Looking at the group of goblins gathered in the square like frightened quails, Elwin rubbed his temples, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Who's in charge here? Come out and speak!"

Chief Engineer Bigewitz and the wealthy businessman Nogfogger stumbled and crawled to Alvin, their green faces contorted in a grimace, tears and snot mingling together, completely disregarding any semblance of dignity.

"Great... Dragon Knight!"

Bigewiz's voice trembled, on the verge of tears.

"Please, have mercy and spare us Gadgetzan! We are just a bunch of poor goblins running a small business, we have nothing of value that you and your esteemed companions would covet!"

Noggenfogger nodded frantically, not even bothering to straighten his hat which was askew: "Yes, sir! We were blind just now! We misunderstood your good intentions! Please, sir, be magnanimous and don't hold it against us! As long as you don't burn our city, we'll discuss anything. Gold coins?! Water? Food? Take whatever you want! We just beg you to calm down!"

"Alright, alright, stop howling. I didn't intend to do anything to you. I was just trying to drive away the robbers and get you paranoid folks out of the bunker in a moment of desperation."

He pointed to the ravaged city around him: "Go, arrange manpower. Put out the fires if necessary, repair what needs repairing, and tell us where we can rest. We've been flying for a long time and need to replenish our energy."

Just then, Akalitta, who was standing nearby, flashed red light, and her enormous dragon body rapidly shrank in the light, transforming back into the form of a red-haired, red-eyed girl.

She rubbed her flat stomach, tugged at Elwin's sleeve, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother Elwin, I'm hungry. I flew for so long and breathed fireballs, my stomach is so empty..."

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Elwin's eyes instantly softened with affection, a stark contrast to the helplessness and sternness he displayed when facing the goblins.

She gently ruffled Akali's long, fiery red hair.

"Alright, alright, we know our little sister is hungry, we'll take you to get something to eat right away."

He looked up at Bigwigs and Nogfogger again: "Did you hear that? Where's the bar? Take us there. Bring up your best, most filling food. As for the gold coins... I didn't bring any! Put it on the tab!"

Upon hearing this, the two goblins immediately concluded that these three were trying to dine and dash. If they didn't have the sense to say no to credit, they would probably be eaten by the dragon.

Fortunately, there were only three of them, so even if they stuffed their mouths full, they couldn't eat much. They hurriedly nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, yes! Arrange it right away! Arrange it right away! The best bar in Gadgetzan is just around the corner! Food and drinks are plentiful! Eat as much as you want, don't worry about money, it's our honor to offer some delicacies to the heroes who drove away the bandits!"

As they talked, their eyes darted around, and they subtly shifted their feet, seemingly trying to find a chance to slip away and get away from the three while they were being led.

However, how could their little tricks possibly escape Alvin's notice?

"and many more."

Elwin spoke calmly, his voice not loud, yet it instantly froze the two goblins in place, cold sweat pouring down their faces.

"You two,"

Erwin's gaze swept between them.

"Come with me to the bar, I have some questions for you."

Bigewitz and Nogfogger's faces fell instantly, as if they had swallowed a bitter pill.

They looked at each other and saw despair in each other's eyes.

"Yes...yes, sir..."

Bigeforz replied with a mournful face.

"This way, sir, and also the two young ladies..."

Noggenfogger forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and resignedly led the way toward the bar called "Quicksand Vortex".
