Chapter 146: The Orc's Request
Li Youran was playing with gold coins in the other world at this time, and an auction would make him earn millions of gold coins, of course, he hadn't delivered it yet, so he didn't have any income, but the subsequent trade fair allowed him to see real money, and the gold coins flowed into his pocket, and he couldn't stop it.
The merchants are completely crazy, and they ask for the gold to buy the goods, and if you don't give them to him, they will immediately turn against you, and the receptionists and warehouse workers will not even have time to rest.
The merchants looked at the goods in front of them and really hated that their money bags were small, they couldn't hold so much money, and the lord in front of them didn't recognize anything else at all, as long as gold coins, not even purple gold coins, they had no choice but to buy things together, but other people also wanted to buy goods, how could they have money to make up.
I could only drool at the goods in the warehouse, and then drove my carriage out of here with my goods, and secretly swore in my heart that I would bring a little more gold coins next time.
Li Youran naturally didn't know the situation outside, and now he was receiving envoys from the Orc Empire inside, that is, merchants from the Orc Empire.
"Greetings, Dear Baron! Goode, a merchant from the Orc Empire, greets you. The big businessman Goode said proudly in front of Li Youran, it seemed that he was very comfortable with his identity as an orc.
"Hello, friend from the Orc Empire! I don't know what you're looking for me? Li Youran said hello and asked.
"Although it is very presumptuous, but there is indeed something, in addition to cashing in the grain and salt quotations of the auction, I also have some business that I want to cooperate with Lord Baron, I wonder if Lord Baron is interested?" Goode said bluntly.
After listening to this, Li Youran nodded and said, "Please say, I am a businessman, so naturally I want to do business, I don't know what kind of business it is?" ”
"I wonder what Lord Baron thinks of us orcs?" Before talking about business, Goode first asked Li Youran what he thought of orcs. Because this will affect the future business dealings.
"Orc, I have no prejudice against any race, in my opinion, as long as he has no conflict with me, then he has the right to live in the world, any race can do business with me, of course, provided that he abides by my rules!" Li leisurely propped his hands on the table. Holding his chin with his hands crossed, he was indescribably lazy and chic, and said his opinion lightly, of course, it seems that Goode is very satisfied with this answer at present.
"In that case, then we may have a good talk, Monsieur Baron! You know that our beast race is a survival of the wild life, almost every newborn is born with death, hunger, natural disasters, and so on, which creates the strong physique of our beast race. But it also makes the wilderness become a barren land in the real sense, and all life in the wilderness every day can be said to be fighting for life with the sky, why are the beasts too bitter! ”
Gude said very emotionally, and with tears in his eyes, he didn't care about Li Youran, who was about to speak, but continued: "But these we beasts have recognized, and the task given to us by the Creation Dragon God is to guard the entire wilderness and prevent the abyssal creatures from invading from the wilderness. The orcs agreed, and even if the orcs were almost wiped out for tens of thousands of years, they never flinched. Until now! We can't take it anymore! ”
"I take the liberty of asking! I'm sympathetic, but what is the necessary connection between this and our business? ”
Li Youran interrupted Goode's impassioned speech very inopportunely, and let him continue, Li Youran should donate some materials to him, which is not what Li Youran wants.
"I'm sorry, I'm just a little excited. There are many things that no one understands, and it is rare that there is one person who does not seem to reject us orcs. Goode apologized, and then looked at Li Youran.
Li leisurely shrugged his shoulders and said, "Uh-huh! And then what? Where is the business? It's impossible for you to tell me that you orcs are miserable and pitiful, and then let me go to support you, right? Then I'm going to say sorry, I really don't have that much money! You also see that I have a lot of people. They all need to be raised by me, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. ”
"No, no, no! Lord Baron, I think you misunderstood me, I just wanted to tell you how desperately we orcs desperately want to find an ally who can understand us, and you! It's the one I chose. ”
"Sounds interesting! But so what? ”
"We orcs need food, lots of food, and you can provide it! Isn't it? Goode said meaningfully.
"Of course, of course I have food, and a lot of it, but it all costs money, and if you are going to pay for it by the verbal title of a so-called ally, I can only say sorry."
"No, we don't need you to give it to us! We just need you to sell it to us, and by the way, talk about something else. ”
Goode hurriedly explained, it turned out that people thought he was a liar for a long time, and he came to cheat other people's food, which made Goode very embarrassed, he was a tiger royal family, and he was considered a liar! But now is not the time to talk about that.
"I see! You said earlier, how much do you want to buy! Even if you open your mouth, what else is there to do? Is there something missing? I also have a lot of salt. Li Youran immediately turned his face, and even Morton turned his face to the side in a little embarrassed, and the gap between the attitudes before and after was too big.
Goode is obviously also very uncomfortable, their beast merchants are straightforward in doing business, and they will not change what price they promise, the people who come out of the fox clan are a little more cunning, and the others are all tendons.
"Yes! That's the case, I thought that the matter of salt had offended the Sea Tribe, and now our line home is broken. ”
Before Gude's words were finished, Li Youran immediately said: "But I have no way to persuade the Sea Clan, I am also one of the people who offended them, I'm afraid I really can't help this!" ”
"You misunderstood me, I heard that this hundred miles is your territory, right?"
"Yes, it does, what's wrong?"
"In this case, it will be easy to do, it is like this, I hope that I can set up a trading house here, and then open a road from the forest to the wilderness, in terms of distance, if it can be opened from here, then it will take at least half a year less than the time to circle around the sea, how about it?" Goode looked at Li Youran expectantly.
"You want to open the way to the wilderness with me?" Li Youran hesitated a little, the reputation of the beast clan in the human world is not very good, if the beast clan is allowed to enter from them, he will become a public enemy of the human race.
"I still need to think about this matter, can Mr. Goode wait?" Li Youran said after being silent for a while.
"Of course, I'll wait for your answer, but I still want to say that, for now, I think Mr. Baron can trust us completely, because the orcs really don't say what you think they are, and we have a common enemy now, do we?"
"Enemies? Do you mean the Sea Clan? After Li Youran heard this, he immediately reacted to the so-called common enemy, and there was no one else except the Sea Clan.
"Of course, I swept the face of the Sea Clan at the auction, and you are also guilty of their taboo by operating the salt business, which is equivalent to the bargaining chips they have in the transaction with the human world, so naturally you will not deal with it, if you can let the Orc Clan appear here, you can join forces with us, so that you are not afraid of the Sea Clan's retaliation."
Goode tried hard to persuade, but Li Youran still didn't make a decision, and said to Goode: "I know, I'll think about it, then I'll go first, Mr. Goode can go and get your food first, or you can put it here first, and collect it when you want to leave." ”
"Okay, then I'll go first, happy Mr. Baron." Goode left, but Li Youran did not leave immediately, but sat in a chair in a daze.
After a long time, Li Youran said, "Morton, you said that if the Sea Clan really comes, what should we do?" Do you really want the Orcs to enter the customs? ”
Morton, who was standing beside Li Youran and guarding him, listened to Li Youran's question and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter, I have met a lot of orcs, they are not ferocious, on the contrary, they are very simple, except for knocking when they are hungry and crazy, most of the time they are fighting against huge alien beasts in the wilderness, and there is also guarding the big rift area of the wilderness, just now Gude didn't lie, their orcs are really bitter." ”
Morton said that he thought of his half-elf race, although the beast clan is bitter, but it is a recognized race on the mainland, but the half-elf is like a black household, compared with the two, if he did not meet the master, he would rather guard the wilderness like the beast clan.
"That's right, but after all, we still have to live in the human world! If the orcs come in and go berserk! Not more, only a part, and I'll be a sinner! But if you don't let them in, the Sea Clan is a thorn in the heart, and although I am not afraid, what about my people? It's really annoying. ”
Li Youran shook his head in annoyance, he knew that selling salt was so troublesome that he shouldn't take it out now, but he ended up provoking the Sea Clan.
"This is easier, the sea clan depends on the environment, master, how much power do you think the sea clan can have when it comes to the shore? Not to mention that we don't have the Grand Canal, even if there is, they can't help us, the most powerful thing in the sea clan is nothing more than the giant whale team, the behemoth on the sea, any ship is crushed, but they can't do it! The rest of the Sea Clan, it's not me to boast, even if the Sea Emperor comes, I can fight with armor, not to mention the help of Professor Jin and Field, so you don't have to worry at all, master. ”
Morton is very confident, the sea clan is really not to be afraid in his eyes, a group of monsters that have not fully evolved, what is there to fear. (To be continued......)
