On the night of Ratchet Town's Fishman Gathering, which was also the first night of the Spring Festival, a grand fireworks show continued on the beach of Ratchet Bay.

Amidst the deafening explosions of fireworks, the image of the mayor of Ratchet Town and the products of dwarf engineering took turns appearing in the night sky.

The fishmen who came to the fishmen gathering were shocked and their jaws dropped to the floor. They could not count how many times they had been shocked by Ratchet Town.

Magoffin and other saltfish people, who had decided to stay and work in Ratchet Town's tavern to make money, were also stunned by the wonderful fireworks show. Today they finally knew that the outside world was so colorful, and compared to the Yanmo Clan on the island in the middle of the lake, which was almost isolated from the world, Ratchet Town was a bustling mess.

The fishmen in Ratchet Town had already seen the fireworks display. They cheered and clapped while looking at these country bumpkins in amusement as they looked like they had never seen the world.

The more shocked these foreign fishmen looked, the prouder the fishmen in Ratchet Town felt.

The mayor, Yang Yi, did not show up at the beach to light the fireworks launcher tonight. He was currently on the dock of Ratchet Town.

Before dark, Ratchet received a trading fleet.

This trading fleet consists of three ships, which are the merchant ships of the goblin captain Grimby and the adventurer Luo Wansan.

After the fleet stopped at the dock, Grimby and Luo Wansan got off the ship.

"Long time no see, my friend." Grimby greeted warmly.

"Long time no see, your fleet is getting bigger and bigger." Yang Yi responded with a smile.

"Aha, your Ratchet Town is getting bigger and bigger." Grimby also laughed.

Yang Yi and Grimby have had many transactions. At the beginning, Ratchet Town was just a small murloc village that was just established, and Grimby only had a two-masted sailboat.

Nowadays, the little fishman village has developed into a medium-sized town, and Grimby and the others have also established a trading fleet.

"Want to see my goods?" Grimby immediately started doing business.

"What good goods did you bring this time?" Yang Yi asked.

"I'm sure I have something you want," Grimby said.

Grimby clapped his hands, and the sailors on the merchant ship immediately got busy.

The kobolds with their hands and feet tied one by one were escorted off the merchant ship by sailors. This time the "cargo" was kobold slaves. It seemed that Grim had tasted a lot of sweetness in the slave trade than they did.

Soon after, the entire dock was filled with kobolds. It was hard to imagine how so many kobolds could be crammed into the small cabin of a merchant ship. It was obvious that the conditions during the transportation of these kobolds were extremely poor.

"The quality of the kobold slaves last time was a bit poor. Ratchet Town only selected more than fifty to keep. This time the goods will definitely satisfy you. Every kobold slave is as strong as a wolf." Rimbey began to introduce the products.

Although Grimby is suspected of boasting, this batch of kobold slaves is indeed much stronger than the previous batch, and there are not so many old, weak, sick and disabled people to make up for it.

Yang Yi nodded, and he asked the murloc merchants and sailors in the town to count the number of kobold slaves.

Kobolds are very useful slaves, and the murlocs in Ratchet Town are already very good at driving them, so it doesn't hurt to buy more.

The fishman merchants and sailors will be busy for a while, while Yang Yi and Grimby are chatting about business.

"Ratchet Town wants to buy some wild boar cubs, and we want to ask your fleet to help." Yang Yi said.

"Ah, another potential customer." Grimby grinned to the back of his head with joy when he heard that business was coming.

"How much do you want to buy?" Grimby asked.

"The more, the better." Yang Yi said.

"No problem. The orcs' Wild Boar Farm and Stone Tooth Farm outside Orgrimmar specialize in raising pigs. Our Hotsand Group has a close relationship with Orgrimmar. As long as we give enough money, our fleet will leave tomorrow. Durotar," Grimby said.

"Also, Ratchet Town still needs 100 draft horses. I heard that there are such horses for sale in the human city of Theramore. You also need to make a trip." Yang Yi added.

"Our Steamwheedle Group also has trade relations with Theramore. This is not difficult, my friend." Grimby made a gesture of counting coins.

"Money is not an issue." Yang Yi said.

The Steamwheedle Group is indeed one of the most successful business groups in Azeroth. They have close trade relations with the Horde and the Alliance, which Ratchet Town cannot envy.

"I still want to ask about something." Yang Yi said, taking out a bag of coins and handing it to Grimby.

"Hey, I'm glad I can help you." Grimby said happily and quickly took the money bag in his hand.

"Rachet Town encountered a killer last night, a skeleton man with white bones all over his body. This skeleton man may have an accomplice, a little fish man. I want to know who they are and why they want to attack Ratchet Town." Yang Yi said.

"Well, Grimby doesn't know about this either, but I can ask the intelligence agency in Gadgetzan. They might know something." Grimby said.

At this time, Luo Wansan, who had been silent all this time, leaned over and said a few words in Grimby's ear.

Grimby suddenly realized, and he said to Yang Yi: "My friend, the skeleton may be just a disguise of the killer. I know that there is a potion called Nogfogg, which may cause people to become full-body after drinking it. Skeleton Man of Bones.”

"There is such a magical potion?" Yang Yi was surprised.

"This potion is sold in Gadgetzan, would you like Grimby to bring you some." Grimby immediately discovered a new business opportunity.

"My friend, you are really good at business." Yang Yi said.

"Hehe, I'm glad to do business with you." Grimby said with a smile.

Time is money, and Grimby's fleet did not wait until the next day in Ratchet Town. After taking over the new business, they set sail overnight and headed for Durotar.

The next morning, Yang Yi slept in the mayor's office until three o'clock in the morning before waking up.

The fish-man gathering was over, and the fish-men who came to the gathering should have gone back to their homes, but the large square in front of the town center was still crowded.

When the old blind man saw Yang Yi coming out, he ran over.

"Lord, these fishmen are not willing to leave, they all want to join me in Ratchet Town." The old blind man said.

Yang Yi smiled when he saw it. With so many murlocs wanting to stay, it seemed that Ratchet Town's publicity campaign was very effective.

"Those who have a job will stay, and others will not be accepted. The threshold for recruiting people in Ratchet Town should be raised a little higher." Yang Yi said.

"Yes, Lord."

The old blind man immediately ran to make arrangements for the professional murlocs to stay and register, while the unprofessional murlocs asked the beach patrolling murlocs to come over and drive them all out of Ratchet Town.

These murlocs who were driven out of Ratchet Town are still unwilling to leave. After seeing the colorful world of Ratchet Town and seeing the well-fed and well-fed life of ratchet town murlocs, which murloc would still want to return to his dilapidated fish village? Go to the village to starve?

These fishmen who are unwilling to leave are wandering outside Ratchet Town, looking for opportunities to enter Ratchet Town.

Yang Yi did not let the beach patrol murlocs drive away these murlocs wandering outside Ratchet Town.

Previously, due to the rapid expansion of the population of Ratchet Town, there were only a few small murloc villages in Ratchet Bay, and most of the murlocs entered Ratchet Town.

Such a population ratio is rare in the world of Azeroth. Usually, the population in towns is only a small number, and the ratio of the population in towns and villages is mostly one to ten.

Therefore, Yang Yi decided to let these murlocs settle outside Ratchet Town. In the future, all murlocs who wanted to join Ratchet Town but were not accepted can stay, forming a murloc village with a large population.

In this way, the huge population of fish people in rural areas can continuously provide talents to Ratchet Town, and these fish people can also be mobilized when something happens in Ratchet Town.

After arranging for these murlocs, Yang Yi went to the hotel to have breakfast and lunch together, and then took a few large pieces of meat to the animal training pen to feed the giant crocodile in the dead swamp.

At this time, the old blind man ran over in a hurry.

"Lord, Ben Bolba is missing." The old blind man said anxiously.

"Gone? Where did this brat go to play?" Yang Yi said.

Ben Bolba sneaks out to play from time to time and often cannot find anyone. Yang Yi has become accustomed to it.

"According to the report of the murloc patrolling the beach, Ben Bolba claimed to have met the killer murloc last night. Later, he returned to his murloc hut, and no one has seen him since then," said the old blind man.

"The killer fish-man? Could it be Fenjie, the little fish-man?"

Yang Yi thought about it for a moment. According to the goblin Grimby, there is a potion that can turn people into skeletons, and the little fishman Fenjie's habitual movements when disappearing are exactly the same as skeletons.

"Isn't the little fishman Fenjie an accomplice of the skeleton man? That skeleton man is him!"

Yang Yi thought about it and felt that this was very possible.

"Have you searched everywhere? Have you found any clues?" Yang Yi asked.

"The beach patrol murlocs have been sent to search the entire Ratchet Town, but no one has found Benbolba. After my search, I found this suspicious black shell at the place where Benbolba met the killer little murloc." Old Blind Eye explain.

The old blind man took out a black shell with a few lines of small words carved on it with a sharp blade.

Yang Yi took the black shell and looked at it carefully, and found that the main content of the first half of the text was to express his appreciation for Ben Bolba's singing, which was no different from a letter written by a fan to his favorite star. The second half of the text bluntly stated that he wanted Ben Bolba to follow him.

"The person who wrote these words wanted to take Benbolba away from Ratchet Town. Is this the reason why Benbolba disappeared?" Yang Yi understood why the old blind man said that the black shell was suspicious.

"Ben Bolba is definitely not willing to follow. How did he leave Ratchet Town with a big living person? The three entrances and exits of Ratchet Town are all walled. Only the direction leading to the bay is not surrounded. Go quickly. Check it out over there." Yang Yi said.

The old blind man obeyed the order and hurriedly checked the direction of the bay, and finally found out the clues about Ben Bolba.

After the fireworks show last night, there were still many murlocs staying on the beach to drink and celebrate. One of them accidentally saw Ben Bolba and another little murloc quietly climbing onto the merchant ship of Goblin Grimby.

"Let the sailboats in the town set sail. We have to catch up with the merchant ships and rescue Benbolba." Yang Yi immediately ordered.
