Chapter Seventy-Five: Transit Cities (Page 1/1)

Ansaldo was a resolute person, and after agreeing to Xiao Chen's conditions, he quickly made arrangements. He asked Xiao Chen and his party to wait in Crowell for three days, made various arrangements, and then personally accompanied Xiao Chen and his party to the underground royal capital of the Dwarf Kingdom.

Xiao Chen brought not only Luo Ling and Umedada, but also Evelyn, a dark elf who is good at underground operations, and more than two hundred dwarven elites, including Farrell and Sinclair. Huang Zheng and Ma Anmin took the rest of the Marines to meet them at the port.

In order to allow Xiao Chen and his party to enter the royal capital of the dwarven kingdom in a bright and bright manner, Ansaldo thought about it and gave them the title of diplomatic envoys. The envoy group of the Tower of China naturally withheld Xiao Chen's name, after all, the head of the Tower of China personally came to visit the Dwarf Kingdom, which was too incredible and too eye-catching. The visit was made in the name of Foreign Minister Luo Ling, and Xiao Chen accompanied him in the name of Ji Yijun.

Ansaldo first took them by land in a carriage to Bobéni, the entrance city to the underground.

Bobeni is one of the largest cities on the surface of the Dwarven Empire, and is the most important gateway to the underworld beneath the mountains. Most of the goods shipped from the harbor city go underground from here, so it looks like a busy transshipment port. Ox carts and horse-drawn carts dragging all kinds of goods can be seen everywhere along the way. There were many dwarven traders who also traded in the city, and they would sell their goods to merchants who did business in the royal capital or to middlemen from other underground cities.

Ansaldo's Fire Crystal family naturally has its own stronghold here. After coming to Bobini, he settled Xiao Chen and his party in his family's mansion. And he had to contact the head of the family underground to prepare for Xiao Chen to enter the underground.

During the two days of waiting for news, he couldn't confine Xiao Chen to his mansion, so he could only accompany him to wander around Bobeni City.

There will be human, elf, sea and orc merchants staying in Crowell, and some tall figures can be seen on the streets, but there are almost no outsiders in Boberny, and most of the traders are not allowed to go so deep into the dwarven kingdom, so there are almost no big figures in the city except for Xiao Chen and his party. Walking around, the dwarves who worked only reached Xiao Chen's waist.

Therefore, Xiao Chen and the others are extremely eye-catching on the street, and they will attract a lot of attention wherever they go. If it weren't for the company of Ansalda and the Fire Crystal family's guards, a dwarf would have come up to interrogate him a long time ago.

At first, Ansaldo thought it was just an irrepressible curiosity from humans who had never been inside the Dwarven Kingdom, but later found that Xiao Chen was very observant.

"I'm just looking for more and more possibilities to work with. Xiao Chen said. He walked past a stall where steel tools were sold, Xiao Chen picked them up and looked at them, and found the steel seal of the Green Forest City Tool Factory, "It seems that you also have a lot of Chinese goods here." ”

Ansaldo took a hammer from Xiao Chen's hand and said, "Two or three years ago, you started to sell your daily necessities here, but this is the first time I've seen these tools. I never thought that anyone would sell something related to steel on dwarven territory. Those blacksmiths must see this as a disgrace. ”

"It's just the buying and selling of goods, is it so serious?" Luo Ling asked.

"Hey, this is the dwarf. I put a thing to forging very seriously. Farrell said, "Ansaldo is not a forger, so he feels a little uncomfortable seeing this, right?"

"Nothing. I'm not one of those dead brains. Ansaldo denied.

"You are nested in this ravine, there is no communication with the outside world, and it is common sense to be slowly compared in many places, you know? These tools are not forged by any master, the Green Forest City Tool Factory was put into production half a year ago, and many workers are newly recruited, and they have not even touched the forging hammer before. I went there as a craft instructor and trained for a few months, and they were all up to speed. The latest assembly lines are used, and the products are also good, no worse than those in Hewan New Town. Of course, it will not be worse than that of the Dwarven Kingdom, and the things of the kingdom, no matter who forged them, as long as they are not enchanted, I am confident that I can compare this hammer with them. Farrell said with some smugness.

Ansaldo said: "Old friend, it turns out that you don't just boast. ”

"Not yet. These things are all made of new formula steel that has been improved in the past two years, and we have tested them, and the hardness and yield ratio are much better than those produced in the last two years of Riverbend New Town, not to mention the things of the Dwarven Kingdom. Steel is good for things, and it is good for use as tools. Originally, they were mainly sold to the southern city-states, but they didn't expect to flow to the dwarven kingdom. ”

"Did you do this?" asked Ansaldo.

"I guess I was involved in the research and production. Farrell said.

"That's a dwarf thing, too. Ansaldo said.

"Say whatever you want. Farrell laughed twice.

Everyone walked around the city, Xiao Chen also found several goods from the Tower of China, including traditional advantageous items glass products and daily necessities, as well as some novel magic props, such as a spar etching pen specially used to engrave magic scripts, and he even saw two children's bicycles, and he didn't know which business genius changed them to thicker tires and sold them to the dwarves' territory. It's just the right size for the dwarves.

"I hadn't noticed that so many of the things from the Tower of China had already flowed into the Dwarven Kingdom. Ansaldo lamented.

"That's the basis of our partnership. Perhaps Your Excellency the Governor should seize the opportunity to contact us, and I will have someone from the Ministry of Commerce have a good chat with you to see if there is anything you can represent and then introduce to the Dwarven Kingdom. We can even invest in factories in your city and make full use of the dwarven craftsman resources to make a profit together. Xiao Chen habitually wanted to pat the other party's shoulder, and found that if he stretched out his hand, it was like touching the child's head, so he quickly withdrew his hand and put it on his waist.

"You are indeed born businessmen. Ansaldo said.

"Also born mages and warriors. Xiao Chen said with a smile.

Just as they turned the corner of the street, Xiao Chen saw two tall men in robes leave in a hurry, and glanced at them as they left.

"Who's that?"

Ansaldo also spotted the two men. "It's strange," he said, "that there are hardly any humans to be seen here. How can you meet two people on the street?"

Judging from the movements of those two people, it is not simple. Evelyn, who served as a guard, said.

"Give me some time, I'll investigate. Tall people can't hide their traces in this city, you should know by asking. Ansaldo said.
