Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Great Business of Goblins
Led by Philip, Murphy walked through the castle gates and into the conference hall.
As soon as they entered, the four goblins who were eating looked up in unison, staring at Murphy and Philip leading the way.
Murphy took a closer look at the goblins in front of him, this was the first time he had seen any intelligent creatures other than dwarves and elves! Of course, lichs weren't creatures, they were dead.
The goblins are generally short in stature, but among the four goblins in front of them, three are about the same height as ordinary people, nearly one meter nine tall, their skin is dark blue, their ears are huge and bent backwards, their eyes are fierce, their muscles are powerful, a few pieces of leather armor cover the key parts, and their covered spired helmets are neatly placed on the table, and they are drinking the wine that Philip brought to greet them.
That's right, these big fools are also a kind of goblins, they are big goblins who can fight well and are strong, and their IQ is lower than that of smart goblins, which is similar to the level of ordinary people.
Obviously, the three goblins were in charge of the guards, and the real protagonist was the diminutive goblin.
The wise goblin was dressed in a silk robe, with fine stitches and gold thread, which looked very valuable, he was no more than a meter tall, his ears were large and pointed, his blue-green skin was covered with age spots, and he looked ugly, the standard goblin look, but what was different from the ordinary goblin was his conspicuous head, where all his wisdom was stored.
"Look who's coming!" the wise goblin spoke, "Your Highness Murphy Cyrus, Fourth Prince of the Kingdom of Wallyne, Frank the wise goblin sends you and His Majesty the King a high regard. ”
His voice was shrill and harsh, but his tone was kind, but he spoke as if he was the master of the place.
"Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Frank, may I ask you what you are looking for me?" Murphy slashed open the chair and sat down, silently swearing his initiative.
"Hey, hey, I heard that Your Highness is in some trouble and wants to do a business with you. The smart goblin laughed, didn't take Murphy's small actions to heart, and said straight to the point.
This is quite in line with the pragmatism of the goblins. Without further ado, to the point, the usual scope of conversation is a circle called business drawn with a radius of kinnaso.
In fact, when it comes to goblins, the first impression of various races on the continent is that they are ugly, profiteers, money-hungry, and great engineers, and the wise goblins are the best among them, whether it is appearance or wisdom, and profoundly implements the truth that the more knowledge, the uglier it looks.
They do everything they can to make money, but instead of saving up the coins they get like dragons, they make money to grow their business, or invest in their own engineering research.
This has made the goblins a formidable race, and their former masters, the trolls, have become their defeated and slaves.
Now this wise goblin says that he wants to do business with me, probably because he is sure that I can't fight against the rebel mob, so he will make a war profit. Murphy thought to himself, swapping on a standard business smirk.
"Tell me what Mr. Frank is going to do with this business?" asked Murphy, tilting his head. "Oh, Mr. Frank, try it, it's our specialty here, and you can't eat it anywhere else. ”
At this time, the two waiters also brought the food to the table and placed it in front of the five people, and Murphy beckoned Frank to eat and chat.
"Thank you Your Highness for your hospitality, then we might as well be respectful!" Goblin Frank grinned, his mouth was about to grin behind his ear, and it looked like a horror movie.
He picked up a fork and inserted a piece of braised pork, put it in his mouth and tasted it, chewed it a few times, and then his big eyes suddenly widened with a strange expression.
"It's... This...... Your Highness, this is also very delicious! Would you like to open a few gourmet restaurants? I have some ways to help you, no matter where you choose the location, even if it is King Street in Tynton City, you can make a lot of money with the skills of your cooks!" As he spoke, Frank took the sweet and sour tenderloin and steamed hammerfish (a freshwater fish, named after the whole that looks like a hammer, and belongs to the northern specialty of the Continent of Noron).
"Your Highness, believe me, even if the king comes, you have to wait in line to eat. Frank was full of praise, and the three goblins he had brought with him didn't say a word, one of them grabbed a pig's elbow and gnawed it, without lifting his head.
"Hahaha, Mr. Frank, let's talk about opening a restaurant later, let's talk about business first, how are you going to cooperate with me?" Murphy simply took two bites, looked at Frank who was a little out of shape in front of him, and said with a few laughs.
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot to get down to business. Frank swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth and looked serious, "As far as I know, the riots in the north have swept near Kanas County, and they are currently coming to your city, I wonder if Your Highness has any good countermeasures?"
"So you're here for this!" Murphy put down his chopsticks, "What else can I do, the soldiers will come to cover the water, Remloth Fort is ready for battle, stubbornly waiting for reinforcements, no matter how fierce the momentum of the rebel mob is, my Remlos soldiers are not afraid." ”
"What Your Highness said is true, but the number of rebels is approaching 100,000, and nearly a million civilian slaves are being coerced. Frank grinned as the goblins continued to probe.
"Again, we are not afraid, and we have the confidence to put down the rebellion!" Murphy held his head high, his expression calm.
"Then I'll just open up and tell you! I'm going to work with you, we have a goblin shop near Jackdaw Fortress, we can rent you an airship, which can accommodate about thirty people, and can take you and some of the officials of the town hall out of this place, I wonder if Your Highness is interested?" Frank's voice was sharp and ugly, but it sounded like a heavenly sound to Murphy's ears.
"What did you say?airship?!" Murphy grabbed the key word at once.
He knew that the engineering level of the goblins was very good, but he didn't expect to be so good that he could make all the airships, and the difficulty of making the airships was not low, at least he couldn't build them now, mainly because of the lack of materials.
"That's right, we don't have much for the power supply of the Fierce Demon Energy Stone, so the price is not cheap, the cost of just one is nearly 10,000 gold nasos, we can rent it to you for a week at the price of 2,000 gold nasos, as long as you nod, you can get it within three days. Frank saw Murphy's heart flutter, and his heart blossomed, but on the surface it was still the same.
As soon as he saw Murphy's shocked expression, he had some score in his heart, this business is estimated to be eight or nine years old.
Thinking of this, another large piece of braised pork went down to the stomach, and the mood was wonderful, and the braised pork in my mouth seemed to have turned into the taste of Jinnaso.
