Chapter 175: The Black Short Who Puts Interests First
"What happened to what I told you before?"
Stone suddenly turned his head and asked the mercenary leader beside him.
He was talking about an incident he had told him through a carrier pigeon two months ago, asking Rep to keep an eye on him in "Fetaburg", and to keep a caravan of Chaos Dwarves passing by, and then tell him quickly.
"I was about to say this, there was a caravan of Chaos Dwarves recently, and now it's still in the city, I think it's a Chamber of Commerce called "Ash Horn". ”
"What? Horn of Ashes!! ”
Ayigunu, who had been in a daze from beginning to end after entering the house, suddenly screamed, attracting the sideways glances of the others, but she didn't care at all, stood up and asked Rip:
"Did you just say that the drop is the "Horn of Ashes"? ”
Rip nodded, and before he could answer, the stone on the side interjected and asked:
"Ayigunu, I remember you said that you have a chamber of commerce in your family, isn't it just this Horn of Ashes?"
His heart jumped, how could I forget this, isn't this girl's family a chamber of commerce, I originally wanted Rip to find a chaotic dwarf caravan, did she just find her family?
"Yes, Mr. Knight, you just said that there is a caravan of the Ejia Chamber of Commerce in Fetenburg? ”
Rep nodded again, and he looked confused.
It turned out to be such a coincidence, two months ago, Stone planned to contact a Chaos Dwarf Chamber of Commerce to see if he could do some business, so he specially asked Rep to pay attention.
Although these blackened dwarf stacks believe in the Chaos god, the "Father of Darkness" Hasut, and belong to the Chaos faction, they are different from the other races in the same camp, that is, they are not like the nezumen who spend their days thinking about turning the entire surface of the earth into ruins and taking charge of their own affairs, nor are they as outright anti-civilization and anti-social as the Beastmen, and they are not as fanatical as the followers of the Chaos Four Hawkers, who are bent on slaughtering, plundering, and destroying the world.
The Chaos Dwarves just believe in a god of the Chaos camp, they have their own society, their own city and their own civilization, they are cold-blooded and calm, and in terms of evil, they are similar to the dark elves, not completely to the point where they cannot communicate.
The reason for this is that because of their unique geographical location, the "Dark Lands" is located in the middle of the two major human settlements of the Old World and the Far East, and has been the only way for trade and travel since ancient times, so the Chaos Dwarves have always had a tradition of doing business with other races, and they pursue the simplest principle of profit first.
Whether it is a caravan from distant Aurora and Nipon to the Old World, or a mercenary from the Empire, Bretonnia, Kislev and other countries to the Far East to pan for gold, when passing through these cities, they will not be overly troubled, as long as they have money, they can enter several large cities at will to purchase supplies, and even more, they can spend a lot of money to buy high-quality muskets and armor from the Chaos Dwarves, or directly hire their mercenaries.
This is all because although the "Dark Lands" are rich in minerals, the land is generally barren and sparsely populated, and it is impossible to grow crops in large quantities, so for the Chaos Dwarves, whether it is food for survival, daily necessities with exquisite workmanship, and those slaves who dig mines, they need to be imported from the outside world.
With most of the Chaos Dwarf cities keeping an open attitude towards caravans, it is naturally not surprising that their caravans appear in a chaotic place like the "Frontier Prince's Domain".
In addition, Ayigunu's hometown was originally the closest "Ggoth Castle" to here. Just off the east side of the Rabid Trail is the city, and it is precisely because of its excellent location and thriving commerce and trade that it can become one of the top three large cities in the "Dark Lands", second only to the capital of the Chaos Dwarves, Zar Naglund, the "City of Flames and Destruction".
With memories of his past life, Stone is well aware of these big things, so he has a long-term plan, hoping to make some business with the outside world through the high-quality spirit "Burning Knife" and the unique flavor of "Fungal Beer".
On the one hand, through the ready-made human city of "Fetenburg", they are sold to the old world, and on the other hand, they want to open up the market of the Chaos Dwarves through them and establish a good relationship with them.
The previous one is very easy to achieve, just say hello to Matthew, he now has a request for the tribe, this little thing must be no problem, Rip can tell him that this is a specialty of the northern Lordaeron Kingdom, and the other party will not suspect Greenskin.
As for the latter one, it is more troublesome and needs to figure it out by yourself, but for the stone and the tribe, the importance is greater than the former.
He originally planned to contact the other party through Rip first, bring some samples over, and then establish a more stable trade relationship when the time is ripe, and even directly ask the other party to pick up the goods in the territory.
Stone doesn't mind exposing his power to the Chaos Dwarves, because in his opinion, the relationship with these black dwarves is more important than the human shrimp!
The reason why the other party attaches so much importance to the Chaos Dwarves is because the other party is already close to their own territory, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of contact in the future, and it is definitely a good thing to have a good relationship first, after all, the main battlefield of the tribe is still in the "Steel Rock" in the west, whether it is now or in the future, the stone does not want to start a war on both sides in a short time.
What's more important is that with the knowledge of them in stone, the Chaos Dwarves are not in the habit of invading the territory of other races.
In their eyes, there are countless untapped treasures waiting to be unearthed in the vast "dark lands", and their hobbies are the same as those of the dwarven distant relatives in the mountains, digging at home, making inventions, and researching biotechnology to make money, and conquest and killing are far less real than money and slaves.
That's why Stone is so fond of them, and by chance, he has one more Chaos Dwarf hero under his command, which makes him even think about pulling these black dwarves to his side.
As I said before, in the grand cause of the future of the stone, not only the greenskins, but also other races, and the Chaos Dwarves can be regarded as the only race in the Chaos camp that has no interest in destroying the world, and it can be rescued.
Of course, it's still too long ago to think about these things now, for him, it's better to focus on the immediate interests first, and by selling wine, on the one hand, he can earn some gold coins and come back, and on the other hand, he will be familiar with his face.
It's just that now that I have the relationship with Ayigunu, I can raise my expectations a little more, and it would be even better if I could buy some weapons and equipment from the Chaos Dwarves.
At that time, the boys of our tribe, one by one, wearing the steel heavy armor made by the Chaos Dwarves, holding the dimensional stone weapons made by the ratmen, plus their own beast-like flesh, wouldn't it be a god to block and kill a god, and a demon to block and kill a demon?
