Chapter 209: The cunning of the goblin clan

Qian Hao said that things are a bit messy in chronological order. Still, most of them are understandable. Among them, many of them are things that have happened with Shen Jun recently. For example, when I was a child, we went to steal other people's chickens together, and went to other people's fields to make them bad and throw mud. In short, it's not a good thing.

And what's worse is that Shen Jun sometimes makes some additions, such as revealing some things that Qian Hao used to have with several women at the same time, which makes Qian Hao angry.

"Hey, didn't you say that you shouldn't talk about the past in front of others? If you want to talk about this, I'll talk to you alone in the evening!" Qian Hao made an accusation, and his face also showed a hot look.

Shen Jun laughed when he saw this, "Hey, haven't I been talking about this kind of thing before? I've never heard you resist!"

"People will change!" Qian Hao raised his voice, and it could be seen that he was already very anxious. After a long time, he slapped the table directly, "Okay! Now I'm talking about you! Don't come and involve me!"

Shen Jun didn't say anything more when he heard this, but the rippling smile on his face didn't diminish at all.

"Yes! What is the situation of this Mr. Shen Jun's previous family background?" Shen Mengting seemed to be very interested, and she directly propped her elbows on the table. In this way, her whole body leaned forward a lot.

"Ahh

Shen Jun listened to the words and kept nodding his head beside him. It was precisely because of this relationship that he dreamed of becoming a swordsman.

"Oh, make the hilt of the sword?" Shen Mengting frowned slightly, her dark eyes staring at Shen Jun again, "That's a good errand!"

"Of course, that's why this guy used to be a master who didn't worry about food or clothing!" Qian Hao lay down in his chair.

"Hey, why do you want to say that, do you want to highlight your childhood misfortune?" Shen Jun laughed sheepishly.

"I was very unfortunate when I was a child, okay?" Qian Hao casually lifted one of his shoulders.

"Yes, I remember that you didn't have food and clothing at that time, and you went to a girl next door, but they were desperate to follow you, which made me envious!"

"Ahh

"'Things from the past' didn't you start with?"

However, Shen Mengting didn't have a hint of a smile in it, she still maintained a serious face as always, "Then Shen Jun!

"That's a long story!" The one who answered Shen Mengting's question was actually Qian Hao. He still waved his arms as much as he could, "I'll tell you! This guy used to be rich. Hilt business, you know!"

"Yes, I know very well!"

Weapons often determine the fate of a country. Think of it this way, even though the country has a large number of soldiers. However, they have few weapons in their hands, so the combat effectiveness of these soldiers can be said to be extremely worrying.

Therefore, as long as the business involves weapons, it must be very fragrant.

"Oh, don't talk about it, it's all in the past!" Shen Jun was still so embarrassed. There was also a slight red glow on his face, which may have been due to his previous drunkenness.

"It has also existed in the past!" Qian Hao tilted his mouth. He also deliberately let out a drunken evil smile, "I remember that your family was famous in Yamanashi Town at that time, and there were other races involved in it?"

was told by Qian Hao like this, and Zhao Yu's ears were also erected. He barely joined his partner's chat just now, and was alone drinking the drinks at the banquet.

"Remember...... It's a troll!Oh! No! It's a goblin!" As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Hao patted his head, "Oh! Look at me! I can't even tell the race!"

The appearance of the troll clan and the goblin clan is indeed difficult to distinguish, anyway, they are both the appearance of sharp-beaked monkey gills.

"Goblins indeed. At that time, it was that race, and if you have nothing to do, you want to run to my house to get orders!" Shen Jun quickly added.

The goblin clan is indeed the most business-savvy race in the entire Cellos. They also have a footprint all over the world and have many business partners.

"Your family used to do business with the goblin clan!" Jiang Jingwen blinked her watery eyes.

"That's right!" Facing the delicate girl, Shen Jun's face unconsciously let out an evil smile.

"Then your parents have never been out of the country of Saran? I once heard my father say that doing business with the goblin tribe means that the area of activity is not limited to the kingdom of Saran or the ancient region of East Asia! They tend to run all over the world, do business with them, and also travel to various countries with them!" Jiang Jingwen said was told by her father, the physician. Among my father's patients, there were also humans who did business with goblins.

"My parents are obviously not at that level yet!" Shen Jun first took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "But...... My parents' friends have such people. They used to tell my parents about it. They say that the goblins have a wide range of connections, and if you really make friends with them, then it will be equivalent to building a bridge to all parts of Celos!"

"Wow, Shen Jun, when did you become so literate! You can even use the word 'bridge to the road' with a touch of postmodernism. ”

"Hey, Qian Hao, your sarcastic words are not strong enough!" Shen Jun squinted at Qian Hao with a smile on his face.

"And then?" Shen Mengting asked directly, she didn't seem to want Qian Hao to intervene.

Qian Hao could also feel it, so he chose to keep silent.

"And then what's next? Anyway, if the business really grows and can get to the point where it can be on an equal footing with the goblins, then it will almost be unimpeded in Celos. Because the goblins can travel in almost any country, their friends are also all over the world. If you have a goblin friend...... Oh, and the saying might say, "Somewhat absolutely." But if a goblin clan who is really doing a lot of business, you can get in touch with him, which means that you can go sideways all over the world. You're doing business all over the world, and you're very handy!"

Shen Jun's words made sense, and Shen Mengting had also seen the power of the goblin clan. As for the goblin race, they used to be a race that lived in the southwestern region of the subeonsual continent, and they also established a country called the Sankar Empire here. Later, when priceless ore was discovered in the area, they made a windfall.

After that, they relied on the trade of rare ores and embarked on the road of business. The abundant resources have already made them a lot of money. Since then, the goblins have completely embarked on the route of merchant trade.

Tight trade-streak has made the goblin clan a big clan in Celos. Their footprints have spread all over the world.

That's the way it is!

Shen Mengting gradually came out of her memories, she had also seen that in the Qingse City of the Salan Kingdom, there were also many high-ranking officials and nobles who were related to the spirit clan. These goblins seem to be very small, only reaching the femoral head of humans, but they are very insidious and cunning, and humans who have no skills dare not do business with them openly.

"Yes, I know the goblins, and I know their way of doing things!"

When Shen Jun heard this, he immediately leaned forward and stood up, "Yes? Oh! That's right! I guess you should be living in Qingse City! Did someone in it tell you about doing business with the goblin clan, what should you pay attention to?"

"I haven't said it on the surface, but I know it in my heart!"

"Heh!" Shen Jun chuckled for a while, "These short, sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked races!" he shook his head slightly, "Sometimes if you have a connection with them, you can make some connections and take your business to the world." But ah...... Sometimes you accidentally ......" Shen Jun's eyes seemed to be sharp, and he also felt as if he was thinking about something uncomfortable, "You will be overshadowed by this race!"

"Oh?" Qian Hao seemed to be coming to the force, "You say that...... Or did your parents have been yin by them? Oh! That's not right! You've never mentioned it before! Remember......" Qian Hao raised his head, which made people feel like he was thinking, "I remember that your parents were yin by humans of the same race at that time! ”

"Hmm, what's going on?" Shen Mengting put her hands on the table and clenched them into a fist. The way she sat upright revealed a serious feeling from her bones.

"Ahh It's the meaning of the middle of the family!" Shen Jun had already shown a weak appearance, and he completely lost the excitement just now, "I used to have a fairly large family, so I can receive a good swordsman trial education!" But later, ......" He seemed to be in a little pain, so he paused slightly, "Later, the family's business failed, and the family's property was all confiscated." After that, I really had no choice but to escape from Yamanashi Town!"

"Hey, I ran away with him in the first place!" Qian Hao said, twisting his body and making a gesture like a scissorhands. He seemed to be overjoyed, and sometimes even gave Shen Jun next to him a strange look, "As a result, he has taken root in this Gunma Town." And I, who couldn't be idle, left this town and lived a long way away from now on!" Qian Hao's expression was a little intoxicated, and he also waved his arm sharply forward, as if telling a great story.

Shen Jun glanced at him angrily. Still, he repeated the calm words, "Yes! That's what happened. I had no choice but to run out. At that time, it was also thanks to this brute! Being able to be by my side allowed me to get through this difficult time!"

"No thanks!

"Hey, why are you a cheap dog making a thick-skinned mistake again!" Shen Jun's eyes towards Qian Hao showed a fierce gaze in an instant. However, the lower part of his face was surprisingly smiling.

"That's not what you learned!

"Who are you talking about? I think you're a typical piece of garbage!"

The two of them began to talk again, not paying attention to the other people's gazes.

"You should have thanked me in the first place, otherwise you wouldn't be able to survive here, let alone be a trial ground instructor!"

"Oh yo, then you don't want to think about it, didn't I always help you when I was in Yamanashi......?

"Okay, why are you fighting again!" Shen Mengting's sudden roar really sealed the mouths of the two men. She also raised her arm and asked the question in her heart, "Shen Jun, what is the situation, why did your family suffer such a change?"

Shen Mengting's question made the others, including Zhao Yu and Jiang Jingwen, all listen seriously. They all wanted to figure out what was going on and estimate what the odds were that Shen Jun would join the team.

"What's the matter......" Shen Jun took a deep breath, and he straightened his sitting posture slightly, giving people the feeling that he was going to talk about things next. However, he did not speak immediately, but raised his head and stared straight at the ceiling for a long time.

Years of friendship with Shen Jun told Qian Hao that there was already some sadness in this person's heart. Qian Hao can understand the occurrence of this kind of emotion, after all, such a family upheaval is by no means something that ordinary people can bear.

When he was a child, Shen Jun's family was wealthy, but when he was young, he was suddenly hit. After that, the pressure didn't break him, but made him stronger. Qian Hao admired this very much, and he also regarded Shen Jun as a person he respected.

"Actually, as I said before, the family has fallen into the middle of the road! But my family can't be said to be yin by anyone, the main thing is that our consignees are yin by other races!"

"Oh, this ......" Shen Mengting pursed her lips, "What the hell is going on?"

Shen Jun moved the chair where his butt was sitting, and his sitting action shifted to leaning back on the back of the chair, "My family specializes in the business of sword hilts, and I have opened a small factory in the northern part of Yamanashi Town. As the name suggests, the sword hilt business is the hilt of the sword that is designed for people to make swords. At the end of each year, a consignee will come to my house to pick up the goods. Then, we will deliver the finished hilt to them. Oh, yes, the goblin clan is also told by the consignees who came to pick up the goods. They all seemed to be very good at talking! Every time they came to my factory, they would sit for hours and talk to my father for a long time. They said a lot about foreign countries!" Speaking of this, a slight smile actually appeared on Shen Jun's face, it seemed that that time was really very happy for him.

"Our family doesn't have a direct connection to the goblins, but the group of consignees does. They once talked about going to the goblin country to do business. None of those are good memories, though. The goblins are extremely cunning, trying to find mistakes in the literal face of the contract. The goblins can then profit from it. Alas, these are not good memories, so don't talk about them!"

"So what is the relationship between your family and those consignees?" Jiang Jingwen interjected.

Shen Jun first said 'oh', and then twisted his shoulders back and forth intentionally or unintentionally, "The relationship is a supply and a harvest! The consignee needs us, and they will connect the forged sword to the hilt of our house! Our family is not very famous, but the forged hilt is first-class and reliable. That's why our family can only supply a few hundred hilts a year. ”

"Hundred!" Shen Mengting muttered the number.

'Hundred' is indeed not a big number for Shen Mengting. She had heard of thousands of sword handles in Kiyose Castle. The hilts of these swords, as well as the swords that had been crafted, would be transported to war-torn foreign countries, such as those of the Orcs in the Ancient Continent.

As long as there is war, weapons must be needed. This is the most basic common sense. Arms dealers can also make a fortune. In fact, the weapons exported by their Saran Kingdom are already very few. Empires such as the Duchy of Elia or the Sauron Empire export hundreds of thousands of weapons every year.

"What, do you think this number is very small?" Shen Jun smiled miserably on his face.

"Not at all!" Shen Mengting categorically vetoed, and she kept shaking her head, "Our Saran Kingdom is not a big country in the first place, and it is extremely sensitive to military affairs. It's already great to be able to have a weapon output. ”

Shen Mengting's words actually have something to hide. The compromisers in Kiyose Castle have always been strongly opposed to the rearmament of the Saran Kingdom. Then, the forging of soldiers' weapons became very rare.

"Hehe! That's true! I know very well that our country is sensitive to military affairs! "Ah......" Shen Jun's gaze became a little confused again, "There have been neighbors who have organized actions in the past and come to our factory to denounce them! Anyway, they are all unsightly words, such as 'militants' and the like." ”

"Yes, I know that, too. So their family is not very popular in Yamanashi Town. After the collapse, some people fell into the well!" Qian Hao seemed to be making a supplement.

"Alas, these are things of the past!" Shen Jun waved his hand slightly, showing his helplessness, "Originally, our family was doing quite well, even if it was not very, very wealthy, but it was okay to run to a life without worrying about food and clothing." Then things didn't go well. I heard that our consignee was in trouble, and they were deceived by the goblin clan in a foreign country, causing their cash flow to be ineffective. In the end, they did not escape the fate of going out of business. And with their fall, our family is naturally not immune. No one asks my family for the hilt of the sword anymore, and our family will lose the pillar of business!"

After Shen Jun's words were finished, everyone fell silent. This is not good information after all, so it is inevitable that everyone will not speak.

"But...... Why did your family suddenly collapse?Can't your family sell the hilt of the sword to other pickers?Isn't there only a few merchants in the Kingdom of Saran who need the hilt of the sword?" Jiang Jingwen thought about it again and again, but still let out the question.

As a result, it was not Shen Jun who answered his question, but Shen Mengting.

"I guess I'm going to go back in history!" Shen Mengting showed a slight sense of hesitation during her speech. Still, she was sure she was right.

The merchant who was involved in the arms business in the Kingdom of Saran did experience a cold winter at some point. In fact, this is not only related to the deception of the goblin clan, but also has a lot of historical background and interests.

Regarding this matter, Shen Mengting also decided to tell it all.
