Herman was terrified, as evidenced by the fact that the creature had confessed everything he had done for the rest of the day, trembling as he spoke, and occasionally glancing behind him, even though Surin said he wanted to talk to him first, but that still couldn't stop the fear in his heart.

Herman comes from a special tribe of goblins, the Beardsley tribe, which has been a merchant for generations, and in the underworld, merchants sell a lot of things, and even some very special things.

The underground world is a very chaotic place, the lords are at war with each other, annexation, there are no rules here, there are no laws, whoever has the biggest fist is the uncle, this is known to many people, and Herman is too.

It was unlucky, as it was caught in a recent trade by a group of gnolls belonging to a gnolla lord, for the simple reason that it had provided 20 iron hand axes to the gnolls' rival lord.

This is a very normal situation, the equipment trade, which is the most common trade of merchants in the underworld, they get equipment from the gray dwarves and resell it to various lords, who will trade it with materials and ores.

However, this kind of trade can be very risky, not all lords will abide by the rules of the goblin traders, they sometimes need equipment, materials, and even goblin merchants will be directly captured by them as slaves.

Herman didn't know whether to say whether he was lucky or unlucky, and after being captured, the lord was quickly killed by Surin, and Herman saw with his own eyes that the gnolf was shot into a hornet's nest by the evil eye on the minotaur's body, and there was no chance to fight back.

This lord's forces are simply too strong. It was so strong that those lords could not even resist the alliance, and compared to this lord, those lords were at most a leader, and calling a lord was simply an insult to the word.

This was especially evident when Herman entered Surin's territory, where he saw a lot of kobold camps along the way. The living area of those guys is no longer a simple wooden stick + animal skin, but a solid stone house built with stones and planks, which is far superior to those tents with broken animal skins in terms of defense and living comfort, and from this point, Herman affirms the strength of this lord.

There is no precedent for a goblin merchant to follow a lord, in fact, many goblin merchants, who choose to leave the tribe when they reach adulthood, are avid lovers of gold. Their dreams are not fulfilled among the tribes, and they can only be fulfilled by relying on a strong lord, or even becoming a strong lord.

Surin is a very good choice, when he asked himself, Herman felt that he had such thoughts, which is why he would say all his things, if he wants Surin to value himself, then he must first improve his status in Surin's heart.

"You're pretty honest."

I heard Herman say almost everything he had done since he was a child. Su Lin didn't know whether to cry or laugh, this guy was too honest. But since then, it has been a lot more convenient, and Surin likes to deal with this kind of honest person.

"Sign a contract with me, you are my man, I will provide you with all kinds of goods, and what you need. Just bring me back the part I deserve, and the extra part is yours. ”

"Deal!"

As soon as Surin's words fell, Herman's side had already given an affirmative answer, and when Surin put his hand on the top of Herman's head. He was surprised to find that the sigil that shone this time was not the mark of the dark dragon, but the mark of the sky dragon.

"Signing the contract successfully, you have gained a follower-goblin merchant Herman."

"When the power of the Sky Dragon is activated, all your troops will gain faster movement speed, and this bonus will include your followers."

When signing a contract with this goblin merchant, Su Lin also got a very interesting hint here, the power of the sky dragon was activated for the first time, if the power of the dark dragon is to absorb the dark magic after activation to strengthen his own power, and the mark of the sky dragon is to strengthen all his troops.

At this point, the mark of the sky dragon is a very strong ability, as for how much the enhancement effect, Su Lin is not very clear now, he let the two gnolls try to run, and then let them feel it, but these guys can't say anything other than being able to say that their running speed has increased.

"The speed of improvement is almost 10%, which is very good."

This is the message that Ulvona gave to Surin after checking the movement of her troops, 1 percent, that is, about 10%, which is already good, because it continues to increase by 10%, and when running, the longer the time, the more obvious the effect of this acceleration is.

"Herman, what goods do you need, I need a large number of mid-level Warcraft crystal nuclei here, those with a level of 5 or above, or other special herbs or Warcraft materials."

Surin is giving Herman a long list of materials he needs, some of which are for enchantments, and the other part is for potions, these materials are produced in the underworld, but a large part of them are not available in Surin's territory, which is why he feels that he needs a merchant.

If a lord wants to make a deal with another lord, it must first be that the two lords know each other, and the strength is about the same, this is the most basic requirement, Su Lin now knows nothing about the lords near him, let alone trading, as long as he enters rashly, it is estimated that he will be attacked by the hateful lord.

The best thing to do is to be a merchant, and a merchant like Herman is the most suitable, as for security, this is not a matter of concern, in many cases, goblin merchants will find a group of powerful creatures as their escort, of course, they cannot join the fight, otherwise, they will be hated by all the lords of the underworld.

There are rules, but this is only for lords with sufficient strength will be followed, if the lord's own strength is not enough, then this rule will not be realized, if you want to protect Herman's safety, the most important point is the strength of Surin, and then the strength of Herman's caravan escort.

The first batch of goods, Herman picked out a large number of weapons and equipment, many of these are ordinary equipment, as well as quite ordinary leather armor, that's right, this is the first time Surin needs Herman to trade goods, they are quite easy to cast, but in the underground world, they are not so easy to come, to obtain these things, the lord has to have a good relationship with the gray dwarves, and they must have enough strength to make a good relationship.

"I promise! It will bring you a lot of materials and crystal nuclei to your lord! ”

This is Herman's assurance to Surin when he left, it didn't leave alone, because when it left, Surin brought a bunch of escorts to this guy, the leader of which was 10 angry minotaurs, and then there were 10 bull-headed guards, these guys were both guards and coolies, and Surin transported quite a lot of equipment, if it weren't for the minotaur as a coolie, Herman wouldn't have been able to take these things with him at all.

"Are you really going to open this line of trade in the underground world?"

Seeing Su Lin's actions, Urvona asked a little worriedly, compared to the trade in Luomu Town, the trade in the underground world can no longer be described as windfall profits, there is no currency here, only barter, and the trading goods used by these guys are the crystal nuclei and materials of the Warcraft, an ordinary iron axe, will be exchanged for dozens of crystal nuclei, this is not a joke, but a fact.

The lords here don't pay as much attention to crystal nuclei and materials as they do on the ground, because they are full of ferocious creatures from the underground world, and they have countless materials and crystal nuclei, in their opinion, this kind of thing can't be eaten or used, and it is not good to keep it at all, it is better to exchange a few weapons or armor more effectively.

This is also the reason why goblin merchants appear, where there is a demand there is a business opportunity, and if there is a business opportunity, there will be a merchant, who will obtain a large amount of materials through this trade, and these materials will be purchased by others.

This is also the news that Surin got from Herman, someone is trying to trade with the merchants of the underground world, this is not good news, only monopoly will have windfall profits, this was originally an advantage of Surin, he didn't want this super big cake to be cut off a part.

"Are there any other passages into the underworld?"

This is Urvona's first sentence after knowing the news, and this point was confirmed on Johannes's side, if you want to enter the underground world, there are actually many passages, these passages are distributed in different areas, some are very hidden, some are obvious, many human travelers are through these passages to enter the underground world, of course, among this group of travelers, there are also merchants.

"Herman has already told me that the passage to the underground world is at the edge, and that passage, as far as I know, is close to Grull's territory, you guys will start to act later, and set up 12 sentry posts for me over there, these guys enter the underground world about once a week, and the merchant will trade with him in the edge area, this time, I am going to play black and black."

Su Lin looked at the sand table map that was constantly being added in front of him, and said with a sneer. (To be continued......)
