With Hiko's assurance, Gu Lian even drove the cattle a little harder. www.biquge.info So soon, before sunset, they arrived at the port town on the coast.

The merchants of the human kingdom named this port town the town of the North Wind because they could only come to this place every year when the north wind blew to trade. As for the Nords, they prefer to call this place Whale Bay, because it has always been the starting point for the Angry Tide tribe to hunt whales. Even today, they maintain the customs of this place.

Of course, no matter what the town is called, it can't change its current significance. The largest port of communication between Arest and the outside world, it is also the most important way for the Nord people to obtain foreign daily necessities. And this is also the destination of their group.

As soon as Uncle Gu grabbed his livestock, the dome was completely stunned by the lively scene in front of him. The crowded town of North Wind was almost more lively than any Nord settlement at this particular time. Even the Snow Mountain King City, where she lives, may not be as lively as this place.

And looking at it, in addition to the Nords, there are many guys here who are short compared to the Nords. Most of them were humans as tall as the Nord's chest, and there were a few little ones knee-high as the Nords running around or shouting at some people's throats. Of course, there are also some creatures that are very slender in the eyes of the Nords, but give people a sense of beauty-elves. An almost forgotten race, but their appearance really made the Dome a little curious. Could it be that the elves are also here to do business?

Seeing the doubts, Hiko, who knew everything about the Tao in it, immediately explained to her.

"Arest is rich in a lot of special wood, which is in great demand not only for humans, but also for elves. And Uncle Gu's golden oak tree is absolutely priceless to these elves. As long as we run it, we can sell it at the best price. ”

"What about those guys?"

Pointing to a guy who was still screaming at the top of his voice, in line with the principle of asking if he didn't understand, Qiong immediately asked Hiko. And in this regard, Hiko just glanced at it and said.

"That's the dwarf of the Mithril Mountains, and the guy who claims to be the best blacksmith in the world. They came to buy glacial iron and some special associated mines. And then the little ones who look a little petite like them, who are similar to them, are halflings. They are top chefs and tailors who have come to us to buy rare furs. ”

"They all seem to have a need for us, why do you say it's hard to do business?"

Along the way, Qiong has heard a lot about these foreign merchants suppressing prices. In her opinion, her Nords should be at a disadvantage in the trade, which means that what her race sells may not be what the merchants desperately need, or even dispensable for them.

But the excitement she saw now made her quickly overturn her thoughts. If, according to Hiko, the Nord people's things should be in short supply, why should there be a thing where prices are suppressed?

And when she told Hiko, Hiko's answer was.

"It's because the channel is in the hands of others. The Nords didn't have that big merchant ships to transport these things around the world, so they had to rely on these unscrupulous merchants. And as the masters of the channel, they are naturally able to make rules as much as they want. ”

Hearing this explanation, Dome couldn't help but frown. She was tempted to say, "Can't she put these shameless businessmen aside and do this business herself?" but when she thought about it, she realized how ridiculous her idea was.

If the Nords had the ability to ship goods across the ocean and open up markets, the big names like her father would have done it a long time ago, and it would not have been her turn to be here to be cranky. It is precisely because of their lack of ability that they can only keep this trade at a minimum level, and let those vampire-like merchants slaughter it at will. Until now, someone has come to change that.

Thinking of this, Dome couldn't help but look at Hikoko next to her, she was curious about how this guy did this to change the situation.

Hiko, who was curious, didn't pay much attention to her. He just stared at the foreign merchants who still refused to go back to the hotel to rest after the middle of the night, but wandered around the town of North Wind like a prey, and only after he had a rough idea in his heart did he ask Uncle Gu beside him.

"No one is trading with these guys just yet. ”

"Lord Lu made a guarantee, and everyone is willing to believe you, so we didn't trade with these guys in advance. Instead, they piled up the goods in the port, waiting for you to preside over them. That's why I'm so anxious to bring you here, because without you to manage the warehouse, everyone doesn't know what to do. ”

Gu explained with a smile, without the slightest guilt of overwhelming a child. Those who can work harder, this is the view of the Nords. And for this upright point of view, Yan could only roll his eyes and say.

"Then let's hurry to the warehouse. If I hadn't done it sooner, I guess I wouldn't have to sleep today. ”

Hearing this, Gu immediately laughed, then shouted, and drove his cattle through the bustling crowd, and hurried slowly towards the port on the edge of North Wind Town.

Because of the custom of the Raging Tide tribe to hunt sea whales and even sea monsters. Their harbors are always built to be extraordinarily large. And a large part of them are not open to outsiders. These ports are generally only accessible to the Nords, and as soon as Zhou Yi took over the work, he suggested that the real manager of Beifeng Town, the old shaman, build several huge warehouses here.

This is for unified management, but also to better pool resources together and increase the bargaining chips with those businessmen. And for this suggestion, the old shaman, who has always admired Hiko, is naturally willing to listen. So, two huge warehouses appeared on top of this port.

And now, when Dome followed Hiko slowly into the port where the warehouse was located, she realized that the bustle here was no less than that from outside. However, unlike the outside, there are basically Nords here, and they are all Nords with their own goods like the ancients.

Some people carried huge packages by their own brute strength, others dragged carriages like ancient times, and even she saw dozens of ferocious wolfdogs surrounding three or four tall Nord men, lying on the ground while not forgetting to grin at her own teeth. It was the hounds domesticated by the Storm Clan, and behind these wolfhounds, the truckloads of fur were obviously their goods.

Although each Nord people look different, and even come from different tribes, different villages. But they have one thing in common, and that is that they both know Hikoko around them. Even as soon as he showed up, many people greeted him.

"Hiko, I'm going to ask you for this year's goods again. ”

"Long time no see, Hiko. Ha, you've grown taller again, and you seem to have grown stronger. ”

"Yan, help Uncle I sell the goods at a good price, and I'll give you a puppy who has just opened his eyes. ”

The shouts made Qiong realize how popular Yan was in the eyes of these rough men, even though they kept shouting Hiko's name, acting like an elder. But from their eyes, Qiong could feel his respect for Hiko. This made her very strange, because for a pragmatic race like Nord, if you don't have the ability to convince the public, you can't gain that kind of respect.

And this is an impossible thing for a Nord child who has not yet gone through the rites of passage. For example, although she is a princess of the Nords, she does not receive this honor. It made her feel a little jealous, but more curious. Curious why he is recognized by so many people.

Therefore, she quietly made up an idea in her heart, that is, to explore why Yan was recognized by these people. And how the hell did he do all this.

The thought made her silently follow Hiko, who greeted him as she made her way through the crowd to the inside of the warehouse.

At this time, there was already a person waiting for his arrival in the warehouse. It was an old man who looked extremely kind, his pale hair and beard showed that he was quite old, but his muscular body showed that he was far from decrepit.

He was dressed in a gray-white cotton robe, with feathers or animal teeth hanging from the corners of the robe, which looked like ornaments, but were in fact far more important than ornaments. Because most of them have some special magical powers.

In addition to some strange clothing, the old man also carried a strange cane in his hand, which he said was a crutch, but it looked more like a special weapon. The blade of pure ice iron and the eight-prism-shaped ends allow the weapon to easily shatter anyone's brain, and the runes engraved on the cane allow it to emit a special energy fluctuation at all times. It was a gloomy chill, an aura that could only be felt on some of the sea monsters of a certain bloodline. And when this aura appears on a crutch, it can only show that the crutch and its holder are not simple characters.

But it's such a character, but when he saw Hiko, he laughed and opened his arms and hugged him.

"You're finally here, little one. If you don't come again, my old bones will be exhausted. ”
