Chapter 61 Speculators

The northwest wind from the plateau has wreaked havoc across the entire wasteland, and the entire wasteland has been ruled by a dry and cold climate, and the terrifying climate that can be dried can be so terrifying that even the rough-skinned and thick-skinned snowfield mammoths will be scraped alive into jerky.

Li Zhenshu was wearing a coat made of thick bear skin, and five hundred meters in front of him was a towering black city.

Stormwind!

The westernmost city on the Terran continent is also a military fortress to defend against the attacks of the Orcs, and it is also the only export for the Orcs to the Terran market.

Like a majestic mountain, completely isolating this cold climate, the bard said that once you pass the storm fortress, you will enter the most prosaic grassland of the Terrans, followed by the fertile soil area.

For the impoverished orcs, this fortress was their dream of conquering, but the heavy army from the Terran realm blocked their desires.

Aristocrats, generals, merchants, and slaves filled this majestic fortress, and the massive gates were like a giant beast, swallowing countless resources and money.

He now needs to wait for Churchill, the famous slave trader of the Terrans, whose chamber of commerce is rumored to be distributed in every capital of the seven kingdoms of the Terrans, of course, this is also the only Terran merchant with whom Li Zhenshu has a good relationship, and he needs to meet the lord of Stormwind City.

The underground high-speed passage that runs through the entire wasteland, the starting point in the east is Stormwind City, and Li Zhenshu needs to ask for Stormwind City's consent.

Compared to buying a closed valley in Smyth City with a few hundred Golden Hoofs, it would be difficult to take advantage of Stormwind.

Li Zhenshu's feet had fallen thick dust, and the boots made of cowhide could not block this cold winter, and after waiting for five hours in a row, finally a slightly thin figure walked towards Li Zhenshu's team.

"I want to meet Mr. Lee!", the man said respectfully, and neatly dressed, a bit like a scholar, but the occasional flash of greed in his eyes indicated his status as a businessman, and the simple kaftan on his body was the hallmark of Churchill's shop.

This dress is said to be made of the cold silk of the demon silkworms on the snow field, although it is a thin small layer, it is more insulating than Li Zhenshu's thick cowhide coat, Churchill once said that only a few of his close subordinates have such a configuration.

"Please come in!", although Churchill did not come, Li Zhenshu did not dare to slack off at all, and led him to the cave that had been prepared underground, the puff burning bonfire baked the whole cave very warm, Avril handed over a cup of hot milk tea, and politely withdrew, "Excuse me?"

"Call me Alai!", he said, taking out a leather bag from his sleeve and placing it lightly on the table, "Boss Churchill has not been able to help you!"

Li Zhenshu didn't need to open it to see, it should be three hundred golden hooves inside, this is the reward he gave to Churchill to help, and now he retreated untouched, with a hint of helplessness at the corner of his mouth, "What's going on, it's me who has too little?"

Alai took a sip of hot tea, "No, three hundred golden hooves is not a small amount, the boss asked me to find a few nobles, but they don't seem to have much confidence in you." ”

"Me?", Li Zhen didn't understand.

"Mr. Li, you are now very famous in the wasteland, and you can make the wasteland fall into the climax of annexation without any effort, so they have all inquired about your details. "Don't be surprised, Storm had to figure out what kind of characters appeared in the wasteland, after all, this is a fortress. ”

Li Zhenshu was speechless, it is true that as long as there is money in the wasteland, you can get the information you want, especially the Storm Fortress, they are afraid that there are spies in every bandit tribe.

His own details, everything that came to this world inexplicably three years ago, the other party can list them one by one.

Li Zhen sighed and was not so eager for Alai, leaned back in his chair, and took a sip of hot tea, "What do they mean?" "Who? those nobles?", Alai smiled, "They only inquired briefly, and then didn't ask any more questions." ”

Li Zhen trembled a little inexplicably, mastering an underground passage under the wasteland, it was a rolling golden stream, and the nobles were more greedy than the merchants, how could they not be tempted.

Li Zhen shuddered and suddenly thought, it was true that his details had been inquired clearly, they were not unmoved, they were probably waiting, once the underground passage entered normal operation, with the strength of Stormwind City, they could completely occupy half of the wasteland, and force themselves to distribute the benefits when the time came.

Countless thoughts instantly appeared in my mind, wanting to share the benefits among such a huge race as the human race and the beast race, and there was no doubt that the righteous fire would be in the fire.

The bandit leader in the wasteland, plus the behemoth of Stormwind City, and the Smai City at the other end of the wasteland, any one of them was pressed down, and Li Zhen trembled to pieces.

Suddenly, Li Zhen shuddered and smiled, maybe it was because everything was too dangerous that he might be safer, Stormwind City, Smai City, and even those robbers didn't make a move, wasn't it because he didn't have force?

They believe that it is easy to solve themselves.

Alai had no intention of leaving, still slowly sipping hot tea, Li Zhen looked at the other party quietly, knowing that the other party still had something to say, if it was just a few hundred golden hooves, there was no need for a core figure like Alai to go on a trip in person.

"Say it!", Li Zhenshu said directly, like an old friend for many years.

Alai put down the hot tea and laughed, "Churchill said that you are a very special person, and you are right! Don't count on those nobles in Stormwind City, as for the city lord, even I can't see it, Li, do you know who you are in the eyes of the nobles?"

"What person?", Li Zhenshu was interested now, he had never seen what the other party said about him.

"Speculators, this is what the businessmen fear the most, you speculators will take advantage of any possible gap for your own benefit, and use the wealth of one person to convince another, while you yourself have nothing at hand, am I right?"

Li Zhen clapped his hands, "Yes, go on!"

"Indeed, you now have a golden hoof in your hand, and it is like a decoy, and the nobles will not watch you seduce them of their riches. ”

"I'm just trying to open an exit near Stormwind, what does it have to do with those nobles!"

Alai tapped his middle finger lightly on the table, very leisurely, "Don't lie to my face, how many golden hooves do you still have on hand, don't I know, I'm afraid these three hundred golden hooves are still squeezed out of your teeth, why did you only open up this underground high-speed passage, if I remember correctly, you should have claimed that the north-south passage was also opened at the same time." ”

"Who are you?", Li Zhen stared straight at the other party with trembling eyes, this person was definitely not Churchill's subordinate, in his eyes, he was completely an aristocrat.

"Hehe, it seems that you are not as stupid as I thought, I have introduced, Alai, but not Churchill's men. He gently pulled it open, pinning a purple Bauhinia badge to his chest, "I am the housekeeper of the Bauhinia family." ”

Li Zhen frowned, he hadn't heard of it at all, it seemed that it should be a nobleman from a human race country, "You came here?"

"Of course, I want to get in touch with you, I am now working for the third miss of the Bauhinia family, I am very interested in you here, maybe I can help the third miss. ”

"Third Miss?"

"This doesn't seem to have much to do with our cooperation, if you can't show your value, I don't think you have a chance, even I may follow you to the funeral!", he smiled faintly, "Those people in the Bauhinia family used to like to call me that, speculator." ”

Li Zhenshu instantly understood that this person was also like himself, using clever means to expand his own interests, but the difference was that the object of his effective loyalty, "Churchill has something to do with you." ”

"It's a little bit of a blood relationship, but it doesn't matter, at least we can sit down. On the left side of the map, a red cross was unusually conspicuous, "This is my investment! A manor, the private property of the third lady, don't worry about any military personnel interfering, I will declare to the outside world that this is controlled by the Bauhinia family." ”

Although it was just a small red cross, it was definitely bigger than he imagined, and it solved the export problem so lightly, Li Zhenshu was not a little happy, as far as Alai's character was concerned, the more he invested, the more terrifying he wanted.

"What do you need me to do?"

He smiled faintly, "Feel free to use this passage for the right." ”

"Privilege?", Li Zhen frowned, this is definitely not a good signal, he feels that he is caught in a dispute with the interests of the nobles, and now he has a relationship with any nobleman, and there will be no fruit to eat at this time.

"I'm sorry, I think this manor is still kept by the third lady! Avril, our guest has finished drinking tea, I'm a little tired!"

Ah Lai stood up straight, stared at Li Zhenshu, and smiled coldly, "Li Zhenshu, my request is only so little!", seeing that Li Zhenshu didn't react at all, he snorted coldly, "Don't try to find any exit in Stormwind City, no nobleman will cooperate with a speculator like you!"
