Chapter 0299 - Fooled
Hilbert glanced at the others around him, and no one seemed to be on his side, and slowly moved forward, muttering in a trembling voice, "Such a move would kill everyone here, and it looks like no one wants to live except me." ”
Standing on the edge and looking at the pythons that raised their heads, Hilbert pointed to a small python at the bottom. "It's it, if I'm not mistaken. ”
"I hope you're not mistaken. Thinking so, the paladin dragged the linguist back, and stood alone on the edge, staring at the viper, which was believed to be the leader. "We don't mean it badly, we just want to talk to you about some cooperation. ”
Monty pythons are beasts, they have no civilization, their language is in its rudimentary stage, and now one can only hope that these beasts will be able to understand some simple languages of other races. "Tell it what I just said in the language of beasts and other races. ”
Hilbert repeated the words in all the languages he knew, and hid behind him, thinking about how to escape, he had no hope that the beast would understand one of the languages.
The crazy pythons suddenly became much quieter, and the python, which was supposed to be the leader, climbed up the wall, its huge head staring at the paladin, its eyes emitting some strange light, its eyes were not scarlet, but like two green gems, and then made strange noises.
Hilbert exclaimed. "Unbelievable, you bet right, it knows scorpion language. He quickly took out the hides and pen and wrote them down. "It says we've trespassed into their territory and need to pay them some tribute first. ”
"What kind of tribute?"
"The ...... of the Living"
Cybertron looked around at the rest of the group, and Taylor exclaimed excitedly, "You don't really plan to do this, do you?" "Giving any of her companions to each other is not what she wants.
If it weren't for Selena, he would have done it, but in the face of the girl, he didn't want to be the bad guy, staring into the snake's ruby green eyes. Deception: "I will give you tribute, but only if you have to negotiate with us." ”
Hilbert also translated this sentence to the leader of the viper, praying in his heart that the man was not himself. "They need to see the sacrifice first. ”
Cybertron hesitated, then stretched out his arm and placed it in front of the other. "I can let you suck my blood, with the blood of pure light. "He decided to dedicate his blood, the curse in his body would not let him die, and if his curse could be activated, then he would destroy all the pythons here and open up a nest of scarabs.
The snake's emerald eyes stared at the thick arm, and it didn't bite the arm, and some trivial sounds came out of its mouth, which was the scorpion language.
"It says it sees your sincerity and now wants to hear the conditions. ”
"I need to carve out a whole new place here for the scarabs to thrive, and I can assure you that they will not encroach on your territory and live together peacefully. Cybertron took the box out and showed the queen larvae to the other party, who had no negotiation skills compared to Downing.
"It's impossible for the damn bugs to thrive on our turf. The python responded.
"They can feed you and grow your people. That's all Cybertron can think of. "If we refuse, we can only resort to war, now that you are in the breeding period, I will let the Zerg army attack, you have no chance of winning. "This is the time to tell a lie.
"You threaten me......" The python leader shook his head as he became quite dissatisfied.
"To be precise, I'm just telling you what's going to happen, the scarabs need to carve out new territory, the old territory is no longer enough for them to continue to thrive, and now they have a strong army, enough to destroy everything. ”
Hilbert secretly prayed that such a threat would not allow the other party to launch an attack on everyone now, and that his study of language and some geography and biology was his forte, but he was a complete idiot when it came to predicting the mental activity of living beings.
The python leader chose to compromise, and they decided to give up a huge mountain for the scarab beetle to multiply, because the other party was right, the breeding period of the python population is the most vulnerable time, once the scarab army attacks, the race will be wiped out.
The queen larvae were brought to a mountain promised by the giant python, the queen grew rapidly because of the spiritual gem, and had entered the reproductive period overnight, the queen of the Zerg reproduced quite quickly, and it only took half a month to be able to produce tens of thousands of larvae, but the growth time of these larvae was not short, and once those pythons passed the mating period, they might attack the larvae of the scarab.
How to get these larvae to mature quickly was a new problem, which he had never studied, and had to leave it to Hilbert.
"If you can't come up with a suitable solution in one day, then I can only send you to the Monty Python as a guest. "Paladins threaten linguists. "Don't look at people, no one here will help you. ”
Sometimes a desperate situation can cause a person to explode, and Hilbert finally found the key with the information he had previously recorded about the scarab. "Golden thread grass, the grass seeds of golden thread grass are rich in a large number of catalytic agents, which can make the reminder of the eater expand quickly, and the general zerg will use some, and we can collect a large number of them. ”
Similar to the environment of the decaying plains, the Yasen wetland has a large number of golden thread grass, and because it is rich in growth agents, the growth cycle is extremely fast, and it is very easy to collect.
Collecting a large number of golden thread grass seeds and feeding them to the newborns of the insects, the larvae grew faster than tenfold, and within three days, a large number of larvae took shape, and the Zerg began to grow again.
Things were also going fairly well on the Gold Coast, with the Oriental traders acceding to Downing's request and heading to the Port of Dawn to transport the orcs back to the Gold Coast Harbor, with some of the Oriental traders even wanting to be part of the business and willing to bear some of the transportation costs.
At the same time, the weapon-making equipment from the Gold Coast was delivered to Port Dawn, where the orcs enlisted the help of the Dreadnought sailors, and the assembly of the weapons went well.
Ochoa arrived at the port of Gold Coast early, waiting for merchant ships to enter the port, and he was eager to see how the gems from the East were in good condition, and if they were in good condition, the business would make the gems much more profitable.
The sky was nice and sunny in the harbor, Ochoa walked in front of the young man, and an oriental merchant ship in the harbor was the star of the day, gaining the attention of many.
"I can assure you that the gems of the Orient are better than those of the kingdom and will sell for quite good prices. Downing introduced the person in charge of the gem business.
Walking to the merchant ship, opening the holds, the gems were placed in some chests like rotten stones, and those that had been treated were taken out of the chests, and put them in front of them to carefully admire, whether in color or other aspects, these gems were indeed the best.
As for the size of the diamonds, most of them even reached the top level, and Ochoa had never seen so many precious stones and diamonds. "It's great, these gems and diamonds are going to be sought-after in the market, and the rich wives always have quite a unique affection for these things. ”
A brilliant gemstone and a huge diamond always get the most attention from the wearer, and the rich wives don't want to be a foil in front of their friends.
"It's just the most ordinary part, and once the contract is signed, we'll be shipping the gems here in a steady stream. "Downing had two glasses of wine delivered. "Cheers to our collaboration. ”
Ochoa did not doubt and quickly signed the agreement, in which they would buy out all the gems, and the price would be paid at two-thirds of the market price.
A huge fortune fell into Downing's pocket, which could be used to continue expanding the business, and the endless amount of gems was enough to consume all of Solskjaer's savings.
Sending the old man away, looking at the other party's back, Tang Ning drank the last sip of wine. "Greedy people are always punished. ”
The price of gems and diamonds is higher than that of gold, so if you want to keep these sources going, you have to mobilize more money, and Ochoa's own gemstone industry is no longer enough to operate, and they must ensure that the supply is in their own hands.
So he came up with a solution.
In an apartment in the capital, Ochoa stood respectfully behind a man. "Mr Solskjaer, although we have all the supplies, it makes me a little bit strapped for money, and I hope to get some funding from other industries. ”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had learned all about Ochoa and the business from the Eastern family, and he certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to make money. "You can use idle funds from other industries, and it is better to have a good relationship with a family from the East, and I hope that my business will make progress in the East. "His ambitions are not limited to the West.
Having gained the power to mobilize idle funds from other industries, Ochoa threw himself into the business, even taking the initiative to raise the purchase price and establish a good relationship with the young man in order to gain access to the Oriental market.
"In addition to the gemstone business, I am actually involved in some other businesses, which I hope will be able to develop to the East through your channels. "Ochoa is in the capital talking to young people about the possibility of this.
"Of course, no problem, thank you very much for taking the initiative to increase the purchase price of the gem, I am willing to use some channels to do so, but I can't pay anything upfront, I have to wait until the goods are sold in the East before paying you for the goods and profits. "Tang Ning put forward harsh conditions, and now the other party has to ask for himself.
"No problem, totally. Ochoa has complete trust in the young man.
Sending the old man away, Downing was quite excited, Solskjaer had already fallen into the trap, not only the gem business, but even the other party's other businesses could interfere with themselves, so that Solskjaer would be finished faster.
You only need to get the other party's goods, and then accumulate them in the ports of the East, and if you don't sell them, you don't need to pay for the goods and profits for the other party, so the other party's funds will dry up faster.
But now there is a new problem, so far, Taylor has no news, the gems of the orc world are about to run out, and if you can't get the gems from the Zerg, you can't continue to consume Solskjaer's cash flow.
At this time, maybe he should go on a trip to see what is going on, and by the way, he can learn about the battle between the orcs who have obtained the new weapon and those mercenaries, although he doesn't want the mercenaries to go too smoothly, but he also doesn't want the orcs to repel the mercenaries and end the battle as soon as possible.
