As expected, about ten minutes or so, a goblin wearing a white shirt, a black vest, and a pair of black big scalp shoes appeared in Zhang Cheng's line of sight.

He was followed by two heavily armed goblin guards and a male minotaur wearing a captain's hat.

There is no doubt that he is the founder and owner of this neutral city, as well as the boss behind the Blackwater pirates, the famous Rivigaz.

The Minotaur is the titular leader and fleet commander of the Blackwater Pirates, Carla Cape.

I have to say that when the minotaur and the goblin appear at the same time, the strong height difference and body shape contrast suddenly make the painting style weird.

At least Zhang Cheng thought it was funny, and took the initiative to owe it with a smile: "It's a great honor to meet you, Your Excellency the rich man Rivigaz." ”

"Hello, human mage from the Kenrito Council. I've heard Tim's debriefing on what's happening at sea, and thank you so much for reaching out at this critical time. Although I am not satisfied with the high price you have paid for taking advantage of the fire, business is business, and this shipment is very important, so I am going to convert your share into gold coins, I wonder what you think?" Rivigaz said bluntly.

Compared with the calculating character of ordinary goblins, he is undoubtedly much more magnificent, and he has no intention of bargaining afterwards.

After all, he was more concerned about resource monopoly, market share, and smooth trade routes than a mere loss of gold coins.

As long as these are not problems, no matter how much money is lost, sooner or later it will be earned back exponentially.

"May I take the liberty of asking, what is it about the cargo that this ship is transporting that would actually make the Bloodsail Pirates risk war to attack?" Zhang Cheng glanced at the black wooden boxes that the dock workers kept carrying out from the cabin, and whispered tentatively.

"Sorry, this is a trade secret, no comment. You just need to know that you can get paid 30,000 gold coins. Here's a money order, you can use it to withdraw 30,000 gold coins from any of the goblin cities in Treasure Cove, Ratchet City, Garkison, or Winterspring Valley, and now we're both clear. As he spoke, Rivigaz handed over a special piece of paper printed with a magical security pattern.

"On the premise of not knowing the type of goods, how can I determine whether the 30,000 gold coins are too much or too little?" Zhang Cheng did not immediately go to receive the bill of exchange, but asked rhetorically with a smile.

As a person with a serious suspicion, he instinctively felt that there were ghosts in those boxes, and they were definitely not ordinary goods.

Rivigaz's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and it took a full minute for him to forcibly hold back and let his men rush up to kill this pesky human, sneering and warning: "Mage, you know best, this is Treasure Bay, not Stormwind City or Dalaran, my word is truth and law." If you don't want to get yourself in trouble, you'd better take this money order and disappear from my eyes immediately. ”

Seeing that the other party had a tendency to turn his face, Zhang Cheng immediately put away his curiosity, took the bill of exchange and pretended to be innocent and spread his hands: "Don't be angry, I didn't mean to find out your secret, I just didn't understand it." Since you don't want to say it, forget it. Oh, by the way, you wouldn't mind if I stayed two more days in Booty Bay to stock up on something, right?"

"Booty Cove welcomes everyone who comes to trade, whether it's a merchant, an adventurer, a robber, or anything else. Keep in mind, though, that there are rules here, and if you break it, you'll be punished. ”

As the last word fell, Rivigaz paid no attention to anyone, and personally escorted the wooden box from the ship to his lodgings.

He looked so nervous, even in his own territory, he was afraid that someone would suddenly jump out and grab it.

The goblins' abnormal performance naturally couldn't help but arouse Zhang Cheng's interest.

But he was not so stupid as to follow at once, but instead put on a casual appearance and began to walk around the market.

"Hey, Mage, I have a nice staff here, I wonder if you're interested?" Before he could get any further, a dwarf with a red beard called out in a loud voice.

"Show it to me. Zhang Cheng subconsciously stopped and looked at this inconspicuous little stall full of small pendants such as rings and amulets, as well as weapons and armor.

The dwarf with a straightforward personality didn't talk nonsense, and directly pointed to a staff that emitted purple light on his right hand: "Oh, that's it, see for yourself." I found the corpse of a troll witch doctor, maybe he stole it from someone else, or maybe he made it himself, and I think it's worth a lot. ”

"Huh......"

As soon as Zhang Cheng held the staff in his hand, he immediately felt that his connection to the arcane energy was even closer, which meant that the power of the spells he cast would increase.

According to the game, the biggest effect of this staff is to increase the damage of the spell, so that the power of all damage spells is greatly increased.

You must know that even in the magic kingdom of Dalaran, equipment and props that can increase the power of spells are quite rare, and it is inevitable that you will find one at a roadside stall in Treasure Cove now.

"What's wrong? is there anything wrong with this staff?" the dwarf asked, petting the big brown bear sitting beside him, with a puzzled expression.

Judging by his fine leather armor and black musket, he was a hunter from Danmorrow, and the bear was his tamed combat partner.

"No, it's nothing, how much are you going to sell it for?" Zhang Cheng quickly shook his head and began to ask about the price.

From the shape of the staff, the purple crystal set at the top, and the holding in his hand, he almost recognized the staff's resounding name in the game.

That's right!

This is the one that has been hyped up to sky-high prices by countless players - Jordan's staff.

A superb epic weapon that can be used by French players up to level 60 without having to be replaced.

"Hmm—how about two hundred gold coins?" the dwarf hesitated, and quickly offered what he thought was a high price.

After all, reality is not a game, and you can see the detailed attributes as soon as you get the equipment.

As a hunter, he can feel the thinning arcane energy in the air at most, and then inject it into the bullet when he pulls the trigger, dealing additional magic damage to the target, known as arcane shot.

As for the quality of the staff, he could only judge it by the materials used in the outward appearance.

It's a pity that Jordan's staff doesn't use expensive gems, nor does it use rare and precious magic wood or metal, and it doesn't look as good as the flint staff in Zhang Cheng's hand, a mere amethyst is not worth a few dollars at all, and the real value is the dense arcane runes embedded on the surface of the wooden staff.

"Deal!"

Without any hesitation, Zhang Cheng directly agreed to the other party's offer.

Compared to a piece of weapons and equipment that can greatly improve one's combat effectiveness, the cost of two hundred gold coins is nothing at all.

In particular, this gold coin is still an inferior gold coin minted by goblins, and when converted into alliance gold coins, it will immediately shrink by one-third......
