Chapter 231 [Sales]
Merchant? It's not just that the elf king is a little strange, but Birodis and others standing next to him are also very puzzled, to their status, of course, they won't have any contempt for professional reasons, in their impression, businessmen are not simply the kind of people who collect things at a low price and then sell them at a high price, on the contrary, they still value businessmen a lot, after all, businessmen represent circulation.
A tribe as big as the Noldor elves, of course, is not a simple primitive system, not a simple self-sufficiency, although the Meliane Forest is rich in products, but not everything is available, many of them need, but what is not produced in the forest, must be imported from the outside, and those fruits in the forest that contain magical power, they themselves can not consume it, but also export, and in addition, they also have a lot of special products that need to be sold to the outside world.
At this time, there are many merchants in the Noldor Elves, some of the merchants are not low, and there are many large and small chambers of commerce, and the merchants will buy the magic props and other items made by the Noldor Elves, as well as many specialties in the Melione Forest, and send them to other elf tribes for sale, and then exchange the specialties of other elf tribes and sell them to the Noldor elves.
It is precisely because of the existence of merchants that the exchanges between the elves can be as frequent as now, and the civilizations between the elves can also collide, thus generating more sparks to further promote the development of civilization, merchants have a lot of roles in the advancement of civilization, therefore, in the elf world, the status of merchants is not low, and the merchants who control the popular trend can be said to be a very popular group of people among the various elf tribes.
The strange thing about the elven king and elven elders was that He Ping's strength was so strong, if merchant was his main business, then how did he cultivate to this level? Besides, the most important thing for a merchant is to have goods and funds, not to mention funds or anything, each elf tribe has its own banking institution, and the payment does not need to carry a large amount of cash, but what about the goods? He Ping doesn't seem to have any goods, right?
Ordinary businessmen, when transporting goods, need to use vehicles, relying on alchemy to make a magic levitation vehicle, on the basis of not low speed, but also able to carry a lot of goods, and do not pick the terrain, this is the mainstream of the elf world, large chambers of commerce generally have their own fleet to transport goods, but He Ping seems to have come alone, and did not see him have any means of transportation for carrying goods.
He Ping didn't explain much, and with a wave of his hand, a sniper rifle appeared in his hand, but it was not the Barrett M82A1 and A.I.AW50 he had used before, the caliber of these two sniper rifles is too large, and the demand for strength is not small, although the elf warrior can use magic to bless himself, but the ordinary elf warrior still can't have enough strength, if he barely uses it, he can't shoot for a long time on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can't give full play to the long-range accuracy advantage of the sniper rifle.
What He Ping took out at this time was the MSG90 sniper rifle that he had asked Li Yutang to use, the range of the elf archer is generally about two hundred meters, and there can be three hundred meters at full strength, and this distance is exactly the best shooting distance of the MSG90 sniper rifle, with high accuracy, and even if the target is a little farther away, it can also have a high lethality, the most important thing is that this is a semi-automatic sniper rifle, and the rate of fire is not comparable to a bow and arrow.
Therefore, if the elven archers are equipped with MSG90, not only will their range not be reduced, but will be extended a lot, and the power is only higher than that of bows and arrows, and when the rate of fire is accelerated, the combat effectiveness will definitely be improved, and it will be much easier to deal with orcs in the future, at least they can observe and kill the enemy at a longer distance, instead of waiting until the enemy is close enough to attack with a salvo as now.
"It's ...... A weapon? Although the Elf King only knew through the narration of other elves that He Ping could take out some strange weapons and equipment out of thin air, the fierce aura emitted by the sniper rifle in front of him was still keenly perceived by the Elf King, and he guessed in an instant that this should be some kind of weapon, but he didn't know the specific use method and construction principle, and he didn't know what the specific effect was: "However, there are no magic fluctuations?" ”
"That's right, it's a weapon, in my world, we call this kind of weapon a firearm, and I'm a weapons merchant, I deal in a lot of weapons, and now, I think the best match with the elves is guns." As He Ping spoke, he removed the magazine and showed the bullets inside to the Elf King and Elf Elders: "A firearm is a weapon that fires bullets through a mechanical structure, and then kills the enemy by a high-speed warhead, which is a long-range weapon. ”
"Ranged weapons?" The elf king is a little interested, the elves are not belligerent, there is no big reason not to take the initiative to attack, most of the battles are defensive battles, and in defensive battles, the role that long-range weapons can play is self-evident, if possible, keep the enemy out of the forest, and it is best not to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, listening to He Ping say that this is a long-range weapon, the elf king naturally can't ignore it: "What about the range, attack frequency and accuracy?" ”
"A trained sharpshooter, using this firearm, can accurately hit the head of a half-orc warrior at a distance of three hundred meters, as for the frequency of attack, if skilled, twenty bullets in a magazine are not needed for even a minute, if necessary, the range can reach six hundred meters, but there is a loss of power and accuracy, and the most important thing is that there is no bow and arrow drawing action, it will not burden the body, with the ability of the elven archer, even if you keep shooting, there will not be much fatigue."
"Oh! So strong! "The elf king is a little tempted, the combat effectiveness of ordinary elf warriors is indeed a bit low, there is no way, the magic talent of the elf clan is good, but the physical fitness is not high, and the masters who can really improve the magic power to a very high level are not too many among the elves, and the stalls of the six elf tribes are too big, and the pressure on him, the elf king, is also very great, and sometimes I even wonder, is this system wrong now, is it better for the elves to be scattered like orcs.
"And that's not all!" Seeing that his sales pitch was effective, He Ping immediately struck while the iron was hot and said: "You see, the magazine of this gun is only so big, and there are twenty bullets in it, no matter how you look at it, it is much smaller than twenty arrows, right?" The average elven archer can carry up to thirty arrows, but they can carry at least five magazines, which is a hundred rounds, and if you add a rucksack to each elven archer, the number of magazines can continue to increase! ”
"It's very powerful, but ......" the elf king said with a little regret: "This kind of range and power is also a little useful for ordinary elven archers, the range of elite marksmen can already reach more than four hundred meters, and the demand for firearms is not so great, and for elven warriors, there is no way to use melee combat, and for a large number of enemies, the rate of fire is also a little insufficient." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I can solve all these problems!" He Ping smiled in his heart, I'm not afraid of your opinions, I'm afraid that you are not interested, since you can say these shortcomings, it means that the Elf King has thought about it carefully, since he is interested, then He Ping can come up with goods that satisfy him, so he put away the MSG90 sniper rifle casually, and took out the A.I.AW 50 large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle he used before.
"It's a firearm, but it's not the same as the previous model." He Ping introduced: "This firearm has a slower rate of fire, but it is more powerful and has a longer range, enough to reach two thousand meters!" The corresponding weight and difficulty of use are also higher, which is not practical for ordinary elven archers, but it is a sharp weapon for marksmen, and it is completely possible for orcs to take the lead in attacking when they can't see this side clearly! ”
