Chapter 219: Gakison
Garkison is a port city, even in winter, there are many merchant ships coming and going, which greatly guarantees the richness of Garkison, and how to maintain this richness depends on whether the hat-wearing goblin in front of Anduin can keep the three major forces in the port stable.
In this city, there is a very interesting phenomenon, that is, although Garkison belongs to the goblins, the three leaders who can rule the underground world do not belong to the goblin clan.
Focusing on the arms trade, the boss Tang Hangu, is a savage two-headed ogre, although he has abandoned the bad habit of cannibalism, but his style of action is becoming more and more arrogant, as a member of the dark world, he connived at his subordinates to act in a high-profile manner, once a large number of vicious-looking people emerge on the streets, needless to mention, it must be Tang Hangu's subordinates.
The Dark Gold Cult, which is proficient in potion making, is run by a dragon man who denies that he is a dragonman, but in addition to dealing in all kinds of potions and making huge profits, Kazakus will also sell mysterious and powerful red mana crystals, which are different from ordinary mana crystals, and contain the same powerful, but extremely tyrannical energy inside, if used incorrectly, it will become an extremely powerful bomb, this effect is warmly welcomed in the wild Garkison.
As for the last Jade Lotus Gang, it is also the most mysterious of the three forces, and its mystery depends not only on the main members of the Jade Lotus Gang, from the distant Panda People country, in addition to the Panda People, but also the Monkeys, the Golden Fish People and the Mantis Demon, they do not blatantly claim to be an assassination organization, but they have assassination skills that make the Stalker Guild happy and convinced.
And the leader in charge of the entire gang has never appeared in public in public, but even so, there are many people who speculate that the strength of the leader of the Yulian gang is better than that of Tang Hangu and Kazakus, who are at the peak of the legend, just because there is an incredible method circulating in the Yulian gang, which can use jade to make golems, and make these powerful and hard ** statues obey their orders.
The Taint Party, the Dark Gold Sect, and the Jade Lotus Gang, the three major forces have carved up nearly ninety percent of Garkison's territory, almost every day, the three major forces are staging all kinds of disputes, how to skillfully resolve disputes, and avoid the intensification of contradictions, thanks to the extraordinary means of Mayor Garkison, the goblin Nogerferg, who wears a black gentleman's hat on his head, wears a white suit, and wears a monocle in his right eye, he looks a little crepe-like goblin, but he is a figure that the three major forces dare not underestimate.
Because Gakison is ultimately the territory of the goblins, and Nogferg represents the voice of the goblins.
Nogferg has the courage to tolerate the three major forces seizing the city government of Garkison, and he also has the courage to walk a tightrope just for wealth, and everything he does is to ensure that Garkison can continue to produce huge profits, and finally remit it to the goblin treasury through taxes.
I have to say that no one with certain abilities can control this giant ship nicknamed "Money Capital", but Mayor Nogerfogg can always use clever means to balance the three major forces, and finally get a lot of taxes belonging to the goblins.
In the face of Nogerforg's overtures, Anduin also treated him solemnly, his eyes looked through the monocle, and met Nogforg's wise eyes, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm really sorry that I didn't have time to inform Mayor Nogerforg when I came here." ”
There is a way that the king does not see the king, and now Stormwind City, even if there is no city wall, is a force that others cannot ignore, and Anduin, as the lord of Stormwind City, is even more of a figure in the limelight this winter, and the identity of an incarnation of holy light is enough to arouse the vigilance of Nogerfogg, not to mention that he has become a veritable regional leader.
Nogforg's green face did not show a strange look, but explained for Anduin in an empathetic manner: "Hahaha, Marquis Anduin, you can come to Garkison, it is something I can't ask for, look at those merchant ships from the New World, I dare to say that every ship, must be loaded with coffee and cocoa, now not only the Holy Empire is popular these two foods, even our Garkison is also very popular." ”
Shaking his head, Nogferg said yearningly: "I was fortunate enough to taste the wonderful taste of Tiramisu, but I had no choice but to pin my hopes on our chef because of the long distance in Stormwind, but after so long, no one has been able to fully explore the unique flavor of coffee and cocoa, and can only occasionally ask people to go to Stormwind City to buy food." ”
"Fortunately, the heavens have heard me and the citizens of Gatisson!" Nogferg showed a bright smile and stretched out his palm to Anduin, "Gazruwe actually revealed to me that the Marquis of Anduin has the intention of opening a branch in Carkison, in order to show my welcome, I specially squeezed out time from my busy schedule and came to the city boundary to welcome the arrival of Marquis Anduin, hoping that the Hearthstone Inn can settle in Carkison as soon as possible!" ”
In the face of Nogforg's statement, Anduin did not hesitate to shake hands with him amicably, but he did not take it lightly, standing in front of him, but a person with a deep city, no matter how much he loved food, it was unlikely that he would make a special trip to greet him.
You know, this is the border of Gakison, and you can see the port of Gakison from afar, and Nogferg is actually waiting here early, and he must be hiding his intentions.
Anduin kept a smile on his face as he made his way to Garkison's city as he listened to Nogferg's introduction to his city, and since the goblin mayor was very patient, he simply regarded this trip as a tour, anyway, the other party had other plans, Anduin was very confident about consuming time.
The magic mecha that is fully promoted, soon let Anduin personally appreciate the prosperity of Gakison, and now Stormwind City, although it has formed a scale, but a large number of outsiders have just moved in, making the whole city permeated with a sense of alienation, spring back to the earth and winter has not disappeared, perhaps because of the cold, passers-by walking in the streets and alleys always have a cold face, for this still very strange city, keep the slightest vigilance.
But the same seaside city of Kakison is quite different, as far as the eye can see, the entire street is filled with crowds, attracted by the hawkers, wandering from shop to store. Keeping your eyes off the ground and looking into the sky is full of towering buildings and multi-ethnic urban people, which also diversifies the architectural style, but no matter how weird the architectural style, there are always traces of residence in every window.
Overall, Gakison is a crowded city, and endless wealth flows through this crowded crowd.
Similarly, in order to get a piece of the endless wealth, some people choose to operate honestly, while others choose to take advantage of it.
"My wallet! Catch the thief! ”
A scream suddenly sounded in the street, although the sound overshadowed the vendors' shouts, but it did not arouse the sympathy of the passing tourists, who seemed to be accustomed to such scenes, with a playful gaze, staring at the angry victims, chasing the thieves who burrowed into the crowd like swimming fish, almost in the blink of an eye, they lost the trace of their target and wallet, and could only stand in place with a dejected heart, bearing all kinds of scrutiny.
However, before he came back to his senses, the crowd on the street suddenly dispersed as if he had seen the plague god, and a group of strong men of five big and three thick, pushing and shoving the sturdy thief who had just escaped, came to the owner, the thief was a little depressed, and reluctantly returned the wallet to the owner, but in the face of the lost and recovered wallet, the owner who should have been happy, but cried with a sad face, tremblingly handed out the wallet, and then was snatched by the ogre who was the leader of the group of strong men.
Whoa!
The ogre showed an expression of "count you as acquaintances", shook his wallet with satisfaction, listened to the sound of gold coins colliding, and then took out a copper coin from his wallet and threw it to the owner who took the initiative to hold his palm, and most of the remaining coins in the wallet naturally fell into his pocket.
"We've got your wallet back, so you're going to pay us what we deserve." The ogre waved his hand impatiently, "Take your copper coins and get out of here, if you accidentally lose it again, we won't help you again!" ”
At this time, the owner of the loss was crying, but he had to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, to express his gratitude to the tyrannical Dirty Gangsters, he clutched the only copper coin left, and slandered in his heart that Garkison's thieves would never attack a copper coin......
Alas!
Sighing lightly, the helpless owner could only consider himself unlucky, took the cold copper coin, and chose to leave, but what he didn't know was that the thief who had just been let go by the Dirty Hands had his eyes on the copper coin again, followed his trail, and blended into the crowd.
The vicious gangsters did not care about the whereabouts of the thief, nor did they care about the ownership of the copper coin, and they had gained a lot, and they walked through the streets very openly, and when they saw which shop was not pleasing to the eye, they went in to extort money in the name of protection money, and no tourists dared to stop them, so they became even more unscrupulous, until a group of heavily armed guards surrounded them.
Bang Bang Bang!
Almost all the guards maintained a uniform movement, they slapped their palms with batons, and watched the Dirty Hands who had returned home with a full load again, and the two sides only confronted each other for a few seconds, and then ended with the defeat of the Dirty Hands, and they could only let the guards loot the money, and then they had to hold their heads, squat on the ground, and listen to the life education that they should not be repeated.
Anduin, who witnessed the whole passing, suddenly said tentatively to Nogferg beside him: "The police station in Gakison is still efficient. ”
But Nogferg shook his head: "Gakison doesn't have a police station at all!" I don't even know where those guys came from! ”
Anduin blinked his eyes and watched the group of guards walk away, he could say with great certainty that there was indeed no police station in Garkison, but there must be a money-collecting organization serving Nogerferg, otherwise with the arrogant character of the Dirty Hand Gangsters, how could he willingly give up his interests?
And this turmoil also made Anduin deeply aware of the dangerous environment of Garkison, if he does not have enough strength, he can only become a lamb to be slaughtered, if these weak lambs happen to have mismatched wealth, it is best to abide by the creed of not exposing wealth, otherwise they will be inadvertently beaten back to their original shape.
Anduin really plans to open a Hearthstone branch in Gakison, and in order to keep his Hearthstone branch from being at the bottom of the food chain, he must use some means to find some reliable backstage, which is undoubtedly a good choice, and Nogferg next to him is almost the most powerful backstage in Gakison, however, Anduin is not ready to have a deep friendship with this person, because once he takes the initiative to make this request, he will have to bear the risk of the lion's mouth.
Therefore, Anduin is ready to take a good look at the "market environment" of Carkison in the next few days!
"I'll make you laugh, Marquis Anduin!"
Nogferg noticed that Anduin was a little absent-minded, thinking that he had been greatly affected, so he sighed as if he was confiding the truth: "Gakison is not as good as Stormwind City, there, you are a man of his word, and everyone must obey your orders, but unfortunately, this is Gakison, the Tainted Hand Party, the Dark Gold Sect and the Jade Lotus Gang, I can't afford to provoke any of them, I have always wanted to rectify the high crime, but I always encounter insurmountable resistance, after experiencing failure after failure, I can only recognize the reality, Let them toss. ”
Nogferg said these words helplessly, but Anduin knew that the estimate he could believe was not even three points.
How could Nogferg, who was able to become mayor of Garkison, be so vulnerable? He was just trying to make a lot of money for himself, deliberately creating the existing chaos.
Jackson is a world-famous sales vault, here, there are all kinds of profiteering industries, every day can attract countless admirers to come to the outside, produce a large number of transactions, and anyone who can get involved in the profiteering industry, without exception, has strong strength, does not need a stable business environment at all, this situation, but also convenient for the major forces to fish in troubled waters.
Nogforg intended to show weakness, but Anduin would not be fooled, he simply responded with silence, so that Nogforg had to stop the topic.
According to Nogferg's previous invitation, Anduin was going to the town hall to pre-select a few stores, and after Gazruvi's magic mecha arrived at the city hall, the master engineer who barely spoke on the road left in a hurry, his purpose was self-evident, it was to gather the goblin clan to deal with the strong attack of the dwarf engineers.
Norger invited Anduin into his office very kindly, and then took the initiative to introduce him to several shops to choose from, all of which are distributed in the territory of the three major forces without exception, Anduin has not seen the entity, and he is not ready to choose immediately, and just as he was about to retire to Nogerforg, the mayor of Gatison finally couldn't help but confide in his true intentions.
He sat on the soft leather sofa, looked up at the tall Anduin, his eyes were gloomy, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of the technological war between goblins and gnomes, Marquis Anduin?" ”
"Fair, open, just." Anduin smiled and gave a high-sounding memory.
"No, no, no!" Nogferg shook his fingers in disapproval, and he stared at Anduin deadly, "What we need is not fairness, but victory!" Say, Marquis Anduin, what conditions do you need to tilt the scales in favor of the goblins? ”
