Chapter 18: Finding the Door
Approaching Garkison, a strong smell of engine oil and a heat wave of energy burning came to the face, and merchants from all over the country who traded with goblins lined up at the gate, carefully entering the city one by one under the watchful eye of a goblin piloting the plane.
The engineering truck drove to a stop in the open space outside the city, and under the leadership of Ruiz, the people of the peak team omitted the inspection process and entered the city of science and technology smoothly.
Ruiz was in a hurry to deliver the news, so after making an appointment with Li Mo to meet again in the workshop, he left in a hurry.
Li Mo didn't rush to find the workshop, and planned to take a walk around this city of science and technology first, collect some useful information, and see if he could trigger some side quests.
However, just as everyone in the peak team was strolling leisurely, the group of refugees who followed behind them became impatient, and Fergus, as the leader, stopped in front of Li Mo and said hurriedly: "Thank you for taking us out of the clutches of the orcs, here we can find caravans of other humans to return to the civilized world, let's say goodbye here." ”
Li Mo gave a look, Yang Zheyi immediately understood, stood up, and said loudly: "Wait a minute, before this, did you forget something?" ”
"Forgot something?" Fergus had a blank look on his face.
Yang Zheyi didn't know when there was an extra book in his hand, the surface of the book was covered by a book cover made of newspapers, and he couldn't see the origin of the book from the shell, I saw him lick his fingers, read the pages one by one, and then pinched his throat and said: "According to survey statistics, the logistics and transportation costs in the third quarter of this year increased by 35% year-on-year and 17% month-on-month. The cost of transporting goblins across an area is 100 gold coins per capita, counting the risk of crossing the war zone, as well as the cost of hiring us, there are 5 of you in total, calculated according to the head, I will give you a 20% discount, even if it is ...... 9888 gold coins are good. ”
"What, what, 9888 gold coins?" Fergus was confused, not knowing how to calculate the number 9888, or to reflect the sky-high so-called transportation fee, opened his mouth, and stammered for a long time: "This, didn't you say it's free?" What's that...... Yes, didn't you say that you should learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds? ”
"That's right!" Yang Zheyi snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "But who stipulates that you can't be properly paid for doing good deeds?" ”
Can I get paid for doing good deeds? Can't you?
At this time, Fergus's mind kept spinning this difficult question, and he didn't react for a long time, just stood there stunned.
"Forget it, let's just be a good person to the end."
Hearing that there was still a turnaround, Fergus immediately looked at Yang Zening without blinking, but Yang Zening's next words made him scream directly.
"Deduct the change, count your 9880 gold coins, how about it, are we very generous, we can't find such a good deal in the entire Azeroth continent."
It's a good deal, your sister! Is it just 8 gold coins less than the fraction? At least remove all the mantissa after 9!
Of course, this qiē was just what Fergus thought in his heart, and he did not forget that the people standing in front of him were all extremely vicious people who could tear apart the orcs with their bare hands, and if he angered them, it was very possible to tear himself on the spot.
Fergus swallowed his saliva and said with an ugly expression on his face: "This, you also know that all our goods were lost in the Golden Plains, and there is no way to pay the fee, or this fee will be owed first, and we will pay you when we return to the Eastern Kingdom." ”
"Hmph, these greedy mercenaries, as long as they can return to the Eastern Kingdom, with my relationship with Sir Mags, as long as they mobilize elite troops and mages, they will not dare to be presumptuous with just a few of you."
Fergus has walked two continents for more than ten years, has dealt with various races, it can be said that he is experienced, and his heart is actually not as flustered as he looks, what he is thinking about now is to leave this ghost place as much as possible, as long as he can return to the human world, he no longer needs to look at the faces of these mercenaries, as for the so-called mercenary fees...... He had no intention of cashing in from the start.
However, what Fergus didn't expect was that in front of him was not a mercenary who would be willing to die for the sake of more than 9,000 gold coins......
Yang Zheyi listened to Fergus's words, showed a meaningful smile, he didn't say anything, but stood there and looked at Fergus, Fergus was full of his mocking eyes, at this time, there was a noisy sound not far away, with the sound of looking, I saw a goblin followed by a few thugs, walking towards the location of everyone, where they passed, there was a lot of chickens and dogs.
After the goblin glanced at everyone in the peak team, he stood next to Fergus, and after carefully looking at these human merchants with the eyes of examining the goods, he showed a look of disgust on his face, and said impatiently: "Okay, as a great goblin, I will not let go of any business, I will accept these human beings, and it just so happens that a ship will depart tonight and send them all to the mining area of Ratchet City." ”
Before all the human merchants, including Fergus, could react, they were stopped by thugs who rushed up and then brutally dragged away.
"Wait, wait, where are you going to take us, I'm a legitimate merchant of the human race, you can't do this!" Fergus hissed and shouted as he struggled.
"Shut up, from now on, you are my slaves, this is a deed of sale, the gold coins are on it, no one can deny it!"
The goblin unfolded a parchment scroll with black and white letters on which the human merchants were sold as the lowliest slaves, with the goblin's unique stamp at the bottom, and the slightly scribbled signature of the other party with the words "Fool" written in large letters.
Fergus, a few "powerless" businessmen who were "powerless", were quickly stuffed into a narrow cage and locked up, like cattle, loaded directly onto a transport truck and sent to a ship in a port not far away, and it was no surprise that their future lives would be spent in the squeezing of goblins.
After sending these human merchants away, the goblin turned around, looked at Li Mo and the others, and said without a good attitude: "Okay, even if you are introduced by Ruiz, you can't have any privileges, and I won't give you a copper plate for those useless slaves." ”
Despite saying that, the goblin still stuffed a pass with the official seal of Garkison into Li Mo's hand, and then led the rest of the thugs to leave with a swagger.
Li Mo glanced at the pass in his hand, and the system immediately gave a hint, with this pass, they can walk freely in the city of Kakisen, as long as they abide by the rules here, no one will come to them for trouble.
"You've been planning to sell those people as slaves in exchange for the goblins' favor?" Queen walked up to Li Mo's side, obviously she also got a prompt from the system, so she couldn't help but ask.
This pass may seem to have no practical use, but in fact, it hides huge benefits, at least with this pass, you can freely enter and exit most areas of the city for the rest of the time, relying on certain means, there is a high chance of triggering side quests.
And after knowing that the city hides a quest, the value of this pass is even more precious, and it can be said that the pinnacle team has a great opportunity.
"What are you going to do next?" Queen looked at Li Mo with a pair of beautiful eyes and asked curiously.
Li Mo pinched the pass, his eyes narrowed slightly, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt something, turned his head slightly and glanced into the distance with his afterglow, and caught two familiar figures.
"It's Dute and Soros, and the city has jamming devices, and my perception has been greatly diminished." Yang Zheyi only discovered the situation a second or two faster than Li Mo, and hurriedly explained.
Li Mo didn't speak, but looked lightly at the two recruiters who were also looking at him not far away, and his face always maintained a calm and indifferent expression.
