Chapter 102: Gold Coins
"Mr. Zax, you know, those goblins are wreaking havoc on our land in Lordaeron. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Now we can't spare our hands to clean them up, their numbers are growing like crazy. Locke said to Zax, a goblin trader.
"Oh? Dear client, are you looking to hire our army of Hot Sand Group to clean you up of these pesky gnolls and bandits? Zax rubbed his hands together with some excitement.
If this human magnate were to hire an army of their goblins, it would require a huge amount of gold.
Although Zax was only a low-level trader with only hundreds of goblins protecting the trade caravans, this did not prevent him from taking the business.
He will be connected to the Prince of Trade, Strymhuaid, for this business, into the eyes of the richest and most powerful goblin of all goblins. The army of each trade prince is in the hands of the prince himself, and the prince's army is not left to anyone else to take care of.
In this way, Zax will also gain the favor of the Trade Prince because of the achievements of this trade operation, and even upgrade to become the captain of a trade ship. At that time, he will still have his own merchant ship!
Zax, the goblin trader, looked at Locke with a blank eye, but Locke's subsequent words disappointed him.
"No, no, no, we don't need your help cleaning up these gnolls bandits, we Lordaerons can clean them up ourselves." Locke shook his head.
"What kind of population business do you want to talk to us about, sir?" Zacks, the goblin cheered up, and although he didn't talk about hiring an army of goblins, he still remembered the human trafficking very well.
"That's right." Locke organized his words for a moment, then looked at the goblin and said, "Some time ago, when we were fighting these gnolls, we found that among these savage humanoids, there were some gnolls druids who were favored by nature. ”
"I want you to make it clear to the slavers of the Hot Sand Harbor group behind you that we in the Fifth Legion need this kind of gnolls who have mastered the power of the druids. The more the merrier, they have a very important role for us. ”
Locke said again, "Remember that it is our Fifth Legion, not including other Crusaders, and this transaction is limited to our Legion!" ”
Bridget listened to Locke's story, and was relieved, if it was to enslave the gnolls, she didn't have much opinion, and she wished that these disgusting robbers would get out of the land of Lordaeron as soon as possible.
Zax, the goblin trader, didn't speak, he unconsciously rubbed his smooth green chin, pondering the feasibility of this.
Locke is not in a hurry, he knows that these goblins will definitely agree, because of two words, gold coins!
In order to make money, these goblins will even sell their mothers, so that they will not care about the lives and deaths of other races. As long as they can make money and can afford it, they will even run to Stormwind to steal Varian's crown.
The reason for the hesitation is because this goblin is thinking about how much money to charge in order to earn more profits.
After a while, Zax, the goblin trader, squeezed a warm look out of his face, which made Locke look somewhat strange.
"Dear customer, we have taken this business! Is there a cap? "That is, how many of these gnolls with druid powers do you need?" ”
"As far as the current situation is concerned, I need as many as you can catch!" Locke said without hesitation.
"Now, we can move on to the next step." A smile was on the goblin's face, and then he rubbed his hands together and said, "Just now, I assessed the damage that our goblins will take during this operation, let me explain it to you slowly." ”
The goblin looked at Locke's expression and saw that he had no objection, so the goblin continued, "First of all, the Druid Council is a very powerful organization, and no one can say whether we will be retaliated against by these gnolls druids, so we have to add money on top of the original head sale!" ”
"Secondly, the gnolls are all social creatures, and it's hard to say whether there are any gnolls with these abilities in each population, and they only know when they are captured, so this part of the money must also be given, and we can't let those gnolls that we fight for nothing, right?"
Locke nodded for the goblin to continue.
"When capturing the Gnolls, our weapons will wear out, our equipment will wear out, and our machines will eat a lot of crude oil, which will cost money!"
Locke still nodded, and Zax, the goblin, said everything he wanted to say in one breath.
"In the process of arresting, we will also have casualties. If you get injured, you'll be responsible for lost time pay, recuperation pay, compensation pay, scare pay, oh, and delay in earning money. In the event of death, you will be responsible for funeral expenses, bereavement expenses, lost manpower expenses of the Hot Sand Port Group, and less money expenses. Counting the members of our goblin family, it's usually a wife, oh! Others don't count. And counting his parents, and his more than three children, you need to bear his..."
Locke stared dumbfounded, Zax, a goblin trader chattering, as he felt as if he had met a lawyer from his previous life. He was able to calculate all possible situations so clearly, although he came to exaggerate them in order to ask for more money.
Bridget was also amused by the goblin, and she stabbed Locke with a smile and said.
"You're in trouble."
Locke helplessly spread his hands, didn't he just want to ask for more money after saying it for a long time? I don't believe you goblins treat your fellow citizens so well?
"Stop!" Locke stopped the goblin who was settling accounts, and then said to the slightly dazed goblin, "How many gold coins in total!" ”
"Huh?" The goblins didn't react yet.
"How many gold coins for a gnoll druid!" Locke reiterated once.
"Ah, well, let me do the math." The goblin muttered and lowered his head, gesturing in his hands.
Taking advantage of this, Bridget pulled Locke aside, and she asked, "I say, how can you have any money?" Is it really good for you to lie to him like this? ”
Bridget looked at him with a wicked grin, she thought Locke was cheating on the goblin.
"How do you know I don't have any money? I have more money than you can imagine! Locke retorted.
Bridget pouted and didn't say anything more, now the entire Crusader army was short of money from top to bottom, because the Crusaders had so far not found a large gold mine that could be minted into gold coins, and the only copper mine had a very limited monthly output of copper coins due to the barren veins, and had stopped the manufacture of all copper-related armaments.
The gold, silver, and copper coins in circulation today were brought out of homes by refugees before the natural disaster, or looted by Crusader soldiers from the ruins of villages and towns.
"Hey! Dear customers. Zax, the goblin trader over there, called out to Locke, "I think I've figured it out!" ”
Locke walked over and sat down across from the goblins.
"I'm sorry for the delay, after all, no one needs such a special slave yet." The goblin said apologetically.
"After the careful calculation I just made, in line with the concept of being responsible for the customer, I will merge all the expenses I just mentioned into these slaves. So the price of each Gnoll Druid is..."
Zacks, the goblin, struggled for a long time, and the fingers on his hand kept changing.
"One 10 gold!"
"Good!"
What the elf didn't expect was that Locke agreed.
Zax asked a little heavily, "Aren't you going to talk about the price?" ”
"No, I think the price is very reasonable, so there's no need to make a counteroffer." Locke said with a smile.
It's only 10 gold coins, is this money comparable to a full warehouse of grain in the future?
When Zax, a goblin trader, heard Locke say this, he immediately beat his chest and looked loveless.
Zax thought he had captured the crux of the human trafficking, but his opponent showed an expression that you were out. This is not the key, the most important thing is that you could have made more gold coins!!
Looking at the shrunken goblin, Locke said with a smile.
"There will be a lot of this kind of business in my future plans, so you don't have to feel bad about it at all."
"As for these human trades, you can just bring those gnolls druids you have captured to me, and we will trade them face to face."
The goblin looked up and said, "Alright, distinguished customer, we will leave now and wait for you at the entrance to the Haru Canyon. I hope you'll come soon. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in that place for long. ”
The goblin left the house with a depressed expression.
This is simply a shame for my trader Zax, since he started in business! I've lost the face of the goblins of the Hot Sand Port Group! Zax thought angrily, but he quickly twisted his head to see if anyone around him was noticing.
However, I don't say who knows? This human also said that there will be many such businesses in the future, and when the time comes, we will talk about this loss in other businesses!
Thinking of this, Zax was in a better mood, and he left the human camp humming a little song, ignoring the human soldiers pointing around.
"Say it, Locke! Where did you get the money? Bridget put his hands on his waist and asked Locke, "You should be sick for 10 gold coins to buy a gnoll, right?" Or what kind of witchcraft is planted? Talking nonsense? It's a hurry to find those goblins now. ”
Although Bridget pouted, she still stepped forward and tried to touch Locke's forehead with her hand to see if he was sick.
"Don't worry! You don't have to worry about my business, just do your own thing. Also, I'm a paladin, have you ever seen a paladin get this kind of gibberish? Locke pushed Bridget's arm away, but he had forgotten for a moment that paladins were sick with speechless speech.
