"Benefits?" the goblin rolled his slightly sly eyes.

"Yes! According to your goblin values, everything in the world can be priced in money, and my help is no exception. Don't think I'm going to help you repel or defeat your enemies for free, I'm not that kind, especially if they're the famous Bloodsail Pirates. Zhang Cheng straightforwardly broke the other party's careful thinking.

You must know that the Goblin Consortium is a huge interest organization similar to the Western capital group on the earth, which is obsessed with business and trade at best, and a fantasy version of a powerful trust monopoly at worst.

Dealing with these guys, if you don't stick to the bottom line, you won't be able to be sold and help each other count the money.

The most typical example is the tribe that is unwittingly controlled by the goblins in the economic lifeline.

Whether it is the minotaur who is obsessed with the primitive and peaceful life, or the orcs and trolls who are full of thoughts of fighting and killing, they are completely unaware that their food, clothing, shelter, and even war materials must rely on those greedy green-skinned dwarfs.

This is why, later, some of the goblin consortiums chose to join the tribe, because on the one hand, the alliance with relatively independent economies rejected their infiltration, and on the other hand, they were too deeply involved with the tribe, so that they finally had to protect their assets in person.

After all, there is a well-known proverb in Azeroth that never underestimate the greed of goblins. If a goblin finds that he can get a huge benefit from you without having to pay any price, he will definitely do everything he can to squeeze the last bit of value out of you......

Maybe many gamers will like the mercenary attitude of goblins and the mantra "time is money", but Zhang Cheng doesn't like them at all.

Especially when a goblin looks at him with the eyes of a cargoblin, the mood is naturally even worse.

Thankfully, goblins aren't dwarfs who can't read other people's eyes.

At least the captain quickly sensed the anger of the young mage standing in front of him, and hurriedly opened his mouth and stretched out five fingers: "Five gold coins! As long as you can kill the Blood Sail Pirate, I am willing to pay five gold coins!"

"Five gold coins?!, Mr. Captain, you are really generous. Zhang Cheng laughed angrily.

There's no way not to laugh, maybe in the eyes of ordinary people in Azeroth, five gold coins is already quite a good reward, and you can eat and drink in a good tavern for more than half a month without doing anything,

But for hiring a mage, it's a naked humiliation, and even the lowest-level mage won't accept a mere five gold coins, but will smash a big fireball in the bidder's face.

"Uh, or fifty gold coins?" the goblin snapped and added a zero to the initial price.

As a typical miser, he would be uncomfortable for a whole day, not to mention paying fifty gold coins to a stranger, even five copper plates.

Looking at the other party's calculating eyes, Zhang Cheng suddenly realized that bargaining with the same goblin was completely uncomfortable for himself, so he pointed bluntly to the armed ship under his feet: "I want one-fifth of the cargo on this ship!"

"You're dreaming!" the goblin jumped up as if stimulated by something.

Zhang Chengman, who had long expected the other party's reaction, shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Okay, whatever you want." As a friendly reminder, if you wait for the Bloodsail Pirates to sink or capture this ship, you will lose not only all your cargo, but also the ship and your own life. Oh, by the way, if you ask for my help again after a while, the price will not be one-fifth of the goods, but more ......."

Rumble!

Before he could finish his words, another shell flew over, this time not only opening a large hole in the hull, but also breaking the mainmast.

With the creak of the wood breaking, the mast, which was more than one person thick, collapsed with a bang, and the huge inertia almost caused the entire ship to roll over.

As we all know, the only power of a wooden sailing ship is the mast, and if the mast is lost, then the ship will lose speed and become a live target on the sea, or it will be sunk by the enemy, or it will be captured, and there is no third way to go.

Of course, the above theory only applies to Earth without magical powers, and according to Azeroth's power system, even a slightly stronger warrior can reverse this unfavorable situation.

"My dear friend, the price of asking me to sell now is a third of the goods. I really advise you to make a decision early, otherwise it will rise to one-half, or even all, by the time the other party starts boarding. But I'm not as greedy as you goblins, and I'll leave this tattered ship behind for you. Zhang Cheng took advantage of the fire to rob with a smile.

"Damn! Damn! You greedy bastard! I wonder if there is a soul like me hidden under your human exterior!

Seeing that the Bloodsail Pirates' warship was rapidly approaching, the goblin captain finally cursed hysterically and nodded in agreement.

There is no way not to agree, since the Blackwater Pirates and the Bloodsail Pirates turned their faces, the two sides have started a dragon battle on the southern coast of Thorn Valley, and no matter who finds each other's ships, they will not let go.

Therefore, if he wanted to keep his ship and the important cargo it carried, he could not think of any other way than to pay the price.

"Wise choice, Mr. Captain, I guarantee you will feel good value for money. With that, Zhang Cheng turned around and began to chant a spell loudly, aiming at the enemy who was waving his hook claws not far away and intending to engage the side, unleashing a flame-based large-scale killing spell - Flame Storm.

I saw a cylindrical flame rise into the sky without warning!

A dozen unlucky eggs gathered together were instantly engulfed, screaming and jumping into the sea, trying to use the sea water to extinguish the raging flames on their bodies.

But they forget that the shores of Thorn Valley are not safe places, not to mention the fish-men and naga that often hang out in droves, and that the terrible sharks alone are enough for all sailors to drink.

In less than thirty seconds, the guys who had been turned down were torn apart, dismembered, and finally swallowed by the sharks waiting nearby.

At the same time, the fires caused by the Firestorm also spread on the enemy ships, and although many Bloodsail Pirates were desperately trying to stop the fire from spreading with barrels, the flames created by magic could not be extinguished so easily.

As a result, one accidentally detonated the cabin below where shells and gunpowder were stored.

With a loud bang, the Bloodsail Pirates' battleship broke into two on the spot and began to sink rapidly, sinking to the bottom of the sea in the blink of an eye.

As for the pirates who put them on, some put down their boats in advance to escape, while others struggled desperately with empty barrels, broken decks and other floating objects to avoid the sharks that were constantly shuttling in the water......
