Chapter 57: The Horse Traders
Today's Eastern Kingdom, north of the Sadol Bridge, has almost all been divided between the undead and orcs, and only some human forces remain in the Arathi Heights, which belong to the former Seven Kingdoms of Humans. However, they are not united, they will pinch each other from time to time, and they are not rich in resources, and the only good place left is Nanhai Town.
The land of Southsea Town, which originally belonged to the human kingdom of Kul Tiras, is now leased to the kingdom of Stormwind for free as a frontline against orcs, undead, and ogres. Because it is located by the sea, it has the best deep-water port in the north, and the trade is extremely developed.
With 5,000 regular Stormwind troops stationed on land, and a task force of Kurtilas anchored in the bay, this defense was more than enough for a town surrounded by mountains and seas.
The relatively peaceful environment attracted businesses from all walks of life to make a fortune in this safe haven. Not only can you see traders from humans and their allies on the streets, but you can also see Night Elves, goblins, walrusmen, and other races that are rarely found in the region.
People come for profit and return with a full load, in short, Nanhai Town is a place that will not disappoint you, provided you have the capital and courage enough. Oh...... There has to be good luck, the dead have no right to wealth here.
Cheng Xiaotian brought a lot of money, enough to buy the entire Nanhai Town, such a guest, Nanhai Town will naturally make you very satisfied.
Rich is the master, this is the universal truth of the whole universe.
Of course, Cheng Xiaotian didn't come here to be a master, his purpose was very simple, to buy equipment! With the strong combat power of the Fallen Star Knights, if all members are equipped with top-level equipment, this battle may not be unfought.
Cheng Xiaotian didn't stop, flying all the way with the sword, after a few breaks, about 40 kilometers away from the basin, his dantian spiritual power was finally completely exhausted, and he had to land on the top of a hill to meditate and recover.
That's when his first wave of buying and selling appeared.
At that time, he was holding the spirit stone in his hand, absorbing it with great pleasure, and suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the wind, and as far as he could see, a horse team flashed on the bend in front of him.
The horses, numbering about 200, were tied in a line and driven by several humans, with cries rumbling and dusty along the way.
Obviously, this is a gang of horse dealers.
Arashi is rich in the best quality war horses, and these horses are the best horses among them, with a tall and vigorous physique, and his spirit is flying, and Cheng Xiaotian's eyes light up.
Just when Cheng Xiaotian was about to go down to negotiate, the horse team was over, and another team came out immediately, they were still mount dealers, but they were not horses, but velociraptors, and the number was about 200. Velociraptors were born in the savannah of central Kalimdor and were ferocious and extremely difficult to tame, apparently by sea, and their exorcists were no longer humans, but trolls.
Trolls and humans are mixed together, this combination is a little fresh, Cheng Xiaotian saw it interesting, so he simply sat back and saw what other tricks there were.
Not disappointing him, after the velociraptor was finished, two hairy behemoths spun out of the formation.
Mammoth, from Northrend, the far north of Azeroth. Not only is it far away from the ice ocean, but it is also the base camp of the undead scourge, who has the ability to get these two things?
The next moment, he had the answer.
"Bastard! How many times have I told you, don't hit with a stick! If you break it, you will pay for it?! Someone shouted on the back of the mammoth, Cheng Xiaotian stared closely, only to find that there was a green-skinned little man sitting on each of the two mammoths - goblins.
Obviously, these two goblins are the bosses of this team, and only the powerful goblins have the ability to gather the best mounts from all over Azeroth.
The goblins have two great talents: machine building, which is what the other races of Azeroth say about them, and trade, which is what they say about themselves, and what no race can compare to when it comes to trading. In response to that sentence, as long as you want, nothing you can't do, with money, everything is possible.
"That old goblin, do you want to make a lot of money?" Cheng Xiaotian stood on the top of the hill and shouted with his neck pulled.
The so-called "old goblin" does not describe the age of the goblin, but the honorific name of the goblin clan for the business veteran. In fact, Cheng Xiaotian can't tell people's age at all.
The "old goblin" was taken aback, stared closely, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Cheng Xiaotian was only one person. I heard that there has been a lot of trouble in the basin recently, and he was afraid that he would encounter those bandits robbing the road.
"Don't be ashamed, young man, do you know how big is big money?" The goblin said disdainfully.
He just saw that Cheng Xiaotian was well-dressed, otherwise he wouldn't have taken care of others at all.
Cheng Xiaotian said in his heart, "There is a door", unfolded his body and fell into the hills, and a few of them went down the hills, making a "thin chest and skillfully turning the clouds", and landed firmly on the back of the mammoth.
The old goblin watched coldly, this person really has some skills, maybe he really has a big deal.
Doing business is about not moving the enemy, I don't move, and the latter strikes preemptively, although the old goblin has expectations, but he is quiet, waiting for Cheng Xiaotian to play the cards first.
No, Cheng Xiaotian is not in the mood to "play cards" now, and his eyebrows are burned, who still has the leisure to play that? Just pay directly.
"I want all of your mounts." Grabbing the two groups of mounts with his hands, Cheng Xiaotian simply got straight to the point.
As soon as he heard this, the old goblin's eyes rolled, and he came back to his senses, hundreds of mounts, in addition to the armies of the two camps of humans and orcs, I am afraid that only the gang in the basin have this need. The young man on the other side with a somewhat special appearance will definitely not be an orc officer, nor will he be a human Qiu Ba, so the answer is obvious.
The old goblin glanced towards the Arathi Basin in the distance, turned to Cheng Xiaotian and sneered: "Those who do business only count profits, this batch of mounts, but they were booked by the Grand Overseer of Tudor, and they gave 100 gold coins just for the advance payment!" How much can you give? ”
"Double!" Cheng Xiaotian looked like a loser who took money and didn't pay for it, and said lightly: "No matter how much he pays, I will give you double!"
The old goblin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Stop advancing!"
The guys didn't ask for a reason at all and immediately stopped.
Turning to Cheng Xiaotian again, his face was already full of smirks, and he said, "Boss, the deal is big, let's talk slowly."
Cheng Xiaotian came today with the mentality of smashing people to death with money, where is he interested in talking slowly? Hearing this, he remained silent and said, "If you can send these mounts there, I can give you four times the price."
The old goblin followed Cheng Xiaotian's hand and looked at the direction of Bella Valley, dumbfounded, he was not surprised by the place to be sent, but surprised by Cheng Xiaotian's loser.
Goblins can do anything, as long as the price is right, they can be sent to the line of fire, as for the difference between height and low, for goblins who are good at machinery, it is not a big problem at all. Can quadruple the price, which ...... This is crazy!
"Boss, do you know how much Grand Overseer Tudor has paid?" The old goblin's tone turned suspicious, and his face began to grow gloomy.
Cheng Xiaotian was so calm that he was even scared, still expressionless, and said, "Well, I don't know."
He didn't even know and made a random offer!
In stark contrast to Cheng Xiaotian, the old goblin was already on the verge of losing control, and he jumped up and shouted: "Of these four hundred mounts, Tudor has produced a full 1,500 gold coins!" You hear me, it's 1500! ”
After shouting, the old goblin gasped and rummaged through the glove box behind him.
"7,000, cash, I want these two mammoths too." Cheng Xiaotian sat still, and his words were as calm as water.
"What?" The old goblin was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and became more and more annoyed and angry, he pulled out a musket and loaded it with projectiles in front of Cheng Xiaotian.
How big is 7000 gold? And this man doesn't even have a bag on him...... Oh, the bag is still there, but it's only the size of a palm, and it looks soft, so it can hold 7,000 gold coins?! He instantly decided that Cheng Xiaotian had to be killed on the spot!
Suddenly!
Boom!
A hemp bag taller than others was pierced in front of him, and he felt that he was short, and the mammoth, which was 10 meters tall, was so weak that he almost fell down.
