Chapter 158 [Azeroth Council]
This great city, which stands in the southern part of the Endless Sea, radiates its enchanting scenery to the world. But if it weren't for that night, it would be just a desert beachβββ
The only permanently neutral city in Azeroth, the economic center of the world, the place where all the tribes co-govern, the city of Zutiu, the statue of the god of wealth at the port.

"We're going to give the land."
"There will also be food, labor, and the most important thing in the desert β fresh water, at market prices."
"On the land where everyone is now standing, build a city that belongs to the merchants, so all the civilized races of the entire Azeroth!"
"It's going to be a city of freedom, culture and commerce! It doesn't matter if it's goblins, trolls, humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, boar people, gnolls, kobolds or even demons! As long as they obey the laws of the city and do not infringe on the interests of the city, then they will be welcomed here! β
"This will be a free trade port, there will be no taxes, and the law will only have fair, just and free transactions, and no infringement of personal and property safety!"
"Whoever it is."
"As long as they want to come here. They can live here, they can live here, they can work here. β
"Even if he was a great villain with many crimes before he came to Zutiu, as long as he is within the right range of Zutiu City, the city will protect him!"

Tonatius painted the pie tirelessly, and he could see the excitement in the eyes of the Azeroth business tycoons in front of him.
Because it came to an end in him.
After a break in saliva.
Finally someone asked.
The first to speak was not a greedy goblin, nor a human merchant seeking profit.
It's a dwarf.
Hellas Darkmoon.
A great gnome businessman who has made a name for himself in recent years in a human city.
Of course.
He became better known in later generations for the creation of the largest amusement park in all of Azeroth, the Night Circus.
The Night Circus has not yet been founded, and Hilas Darkmoon is still a merchant, a rare successful businessman among the gnomes.
You must know that gnomes tend to be very intelligent, and their IQ is by no means below that of goblins.
But when the goblins put their IQ on money and explosions, the IQ of the gnomes also put it in all kinds of inexplicable inventions......
And probably because it's also a descendant of the Titan's creation, it's a goblin with a relatively chaotic neutral tendency.
Gnomes generally yearn for order and are committed to maintaining peace.
Individuals like Hellas Darkmoon are a rare type among gnomes.
The dwarf merchant, who looked very young and had no beard at all, spoke like a cannon, as he drank water from Tonatyiu:
"Hey! Listen. Big man, I really yearn for this city you said. But now I only see a desert, so you called us here to show us about your city that doesn't even have a brick? β
"If that's the case. You've succeeded, and for the sake of those gifts you've given me, I don't blame you for coaxing me here from the warm, moist Elwyn Forest......"
"But if there are no other attractive projects. I think I'd better go back, I'm negotiating a big project β buying an island! β
Good question!
I'm afraid you'll be indifferent.
It's always good to have questions.
Tonatiu put down the kettle.
"Hey! That's a good question. β
"All of you present are famous merchants in Azeroth...... Well, at least the representatives of the big businessmen! β
"Like I just said. Of course, such a city cannot be without managers. Without managers, it's not a city, it's a den of thieves. β
"All of you here and the consortium behind you are one of the managers of the future city that I would like to invite!"
"Here's what I think."
"The trolls will provide the land, water, initial infrastructure, and security of the city, and the city's franchisees are you."
"If you're willing to join. Then you can choose how you want to take a stake β yes, a stake! β
"The managers of Zutiu are a company, a large enterprise! Trolls are subject to the above conditions, and other interested shareholders can come up with what they find useful to invest. β
"This capital can be in the form of money, materials, manpower, or even anything of equivalent."
"As for the future distribution of city management rights, it will also be in the form of corporate employees - I think you know this better than I do!"
"But this is a city after all, so of course there must be a supreme ruler! The supreme ruler of the city, hmm...... Because it is mainly responsible for security, it is called the Security Council, the Zutiu City Security Council! β
"The members of the Security Council shall be represented by the shareholders."
"To join the Council, you must have the consent of the original members of the Council. Decided by voting. β
"And the lowest level of membership is a large multinational chamber of commerce, or a power, organization, or even a national ......"
"The highest authority in the Security Council is the permanent members...... Oh no. is a permanent member...... Councillors. β
"The question of the city and its membership will be voted on by the entire Security Council. However, as a permanent member...... No...... permanent members, they will have a veto power. β
"There are five permanent members."
"If you wish to join, the five permanent directors will be Zutona, three goblins, and the Ashvan family."
"Of course...... Shopping malls are risky, and you need to be cautious in doing business. β
"Permanent members are not static. If any of the permanent members is no longer in a position to serve as a permanent member, they will have to be replaced by a new and more competent one. β
ββ¦β¦β
Tonatiu ran the train with his mouth full, saying these terms that the great merchants of Azeroth had never heard of, and talking nonsense.
But the trains he pulled out were very tempting to the ears of these great merchants of Azeroth.
A free, permanently neutral merchant city......
This is probably the dream of all Azeroth merchants.
In particular, his proposals for the Security Council and the permanent members sound very good.
Even Strymwhite Resand, who came with prejudices, had to consider what kind of benefits he could bring as a permanent director if such a city really appeared in the desert.
The same goes for other merchants or representatives of merchants.
That's what Tonatiu wants.
Not...... There is only one country left of the permanent members......
Tonatiu felt quite emotional.
If in the future it can develop into a true Azeroth Security Council, it is not impossible to become a permanent member.
