Chapter Ninety-Eight: Befriending Mercenaries
"Wait, everybody!"
Zhou Tian suddenly called out to those mercenaries, although he didn't know his purpose, but those mercenaries still stopped honestly at that time. After all, they already knew Zhou Tian's identity through the dialogue before, and in the face of Zhou Tian, a noble lord, who was not strong enough to a certain extent, these mercenaries would definitely not dare to offend him in their territory.
Because of that reason at that time, although they didn't have any friendship with Zhou Tian, after listening to his words, a group of mercenaries finally chose to stop and wanted to see what Zhou Tian was going to do.
Seeing that those mercenaries didn't take his words as wind in their ears and left directly, Zhou Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at that time. Then, after trotting after catching up with those mercenaries, he also pretended to be enthusiastic and asked them: "Excuse me, everyone, I want to ask you some questions, I don't know if it's inconvenient?"
Glancing at each other, although they didn't know what Zhou Tian was thinking, considering his identity, in the end, the group of mercenaries still did not refuse. But after thinking about it, he replied directly and affirmatively: "Of course there is no problem, if the Baron has any questions, just mention them, as long as we know, we will definitely know everything." ”
"That's good. After speaking, Zhou Tian politely pointed to a bar not far away and mentioned to them: "Don't stand, everyone, go have a drink first, and we will talk about any problems slowly." ”
The mercenaries are good at drinking, although the elves are a little lacking in interest, but the barbarians and orcs nodded in unison almost as soon as they heard Zhou Tian's words, and unconsciously walked into the bar with Zhou Tian!
"Let's have a few cups of two pots, and then a few cups of fresh oranges for these ladies. Skillfully sitting on the high chair, he took the initiative to order things for the curious mercenaries, and after Zhou Tian motioned for them to sit down, he asked: "That's the case, you have also seen the situation of my territory, because I just moved here, and I have no connection with the nearby territory, so I want to ask you, I don't know what is missing in this neighborhood?"
"Poof......
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this wine to be so strong, can I have another glass?" Just when Zhou Tian had just finished speaking, he saw a few more glasses of wine on the bar, and an orc with good wine hurriedly picked up a glass and poured it into his mouth, but obviously he didn't expect the glass of wine in his hand to be so strong, but a cup of two pots had just been poured in, and he immediately let him squirt out.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, especially the eyes of several of his companions who wanted to kill him, the orc was also very embarrassed. But a drunkard is a drunkard, and he has just finished apologizing, because the attraction of baijiu is that he can't help but ask for another drink.
"Soul light!" Hearing the orc's words, his companions immediately glared at him. After all, it's not at home right now, and good wine can't be expressed like this when you can't figure out the details of Zhou Tian! If Zhou Tian had malicious intentions towards them, according to the performance of this orc, sooner or later it would be planted in Zhou Tian's hands. Even if Zhou Tianzhen has no malicious intent, his current performance can be said to be a shame.
But for the drunkard, nothing is important to the wine, and although he did not fail to see the performance of his companions, for the sake of the contents of the cup, the orc did not see their performance, and took the glass and savored it at that time.
"Good wine!"
Seeing the orc's performance, the other mercenaries were speechless and could only treat it as if it didn't exist, and after glaring at him a little embarrassedly, an elf apologized to Zhou Tian and said: "Your Excellency the Baron is smiling, my companion is just like this, please don't be surprised if you have any offense!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Waving his hand to show that he didn't care about the orc's performance, Zhou Tian even directly ordered the orc at the bar: "What they want to drink is directly served, and the money is mine." ”
"Then what's so embarrassing!" Although he said that, after listening to Zhou Tian's words at that time, the eyes of those mercenaries who looked at him again undoubtedly softened a lot.
The mouth of the cannibal was soft, and he drank Zhou Tian's wine, and when facing the question raised by Zhou Tian, no matter whether the orcs really knew the situation at that time or not, they would definitely need to come up with some dry goods at that time.
"By the way, where did you just talk about? Just kidding, Lord Baron, you are asking what is lacking in the neighborhood! Do you have a chamber of commerce under your name?" After taking a sip of wine, a group of male mercenaries surrounded Zhou Tian and joked to themselves.
"I'm also a businessman now. ”
"Don't be kidding, how can a nobleman do business in person?" he didn't believe Zhou Tian's words, but when those mercenaries saw the expression on Zhou Tian's face, they couldn't help but doubt again: "You're not telling the truth, are you!"
"Is there any problem? I am indeed a merchant, and the current title is also exchanged for things, whoever rules the nobles cannot do business, and I really have no idea of changing careers. He answered the mercenary questions in the affirmative, and then Zhou Tian asked them again unconsciously: "This time I asked you what goods are missing near you to prepare for my next actions, my chamber of commerce has the ability to get any scarce goods, if I know what goods are needed in the nearby territories, then I should prepare the supply as soon as possible." ”
"Can you really ...... Especially!" to the creatures of that world at the moment, it was obvious that they couldn't understand Zhou Tian's thoughts. In the eyes of most people, although a merchant is not a lowly profession, the average nobleman really disdains to run around and laugh in order to make that little money. Now that they heard that Zhou Tian had a knighthood and already had a large territory, but he still regarded himself as a merchant and was actively preparing to do business, those mercenaries must have been a little incomprehensible about his actions.
But no matter what those mercenaries thought at the time, Zhou Tian introduced himself like that anyway, and in the face of Zhou Tian, a special nobleman, those mercenaries either didn't answer his questions, or they would definitely make friends with each other based on their own information.
At that time, it was not difficult to choose, after all, befriending a noble lord was also very beneficial to those mercenaries. In this way, since the question asked by Zhou Tian is not too difficult for them, then they will not mind using the information they don't care too much about to make friends with Zhou Tian.
"As far as we know, there are not many noble territories on the border except for you, and the places where those troops are stationed are lacking nothing more than some military supplies, food and weapons are in short supply no matter which legion they are in, but if your Chamber of Commerce is really capable, the Elven Empire transports sugar and the Orc Empire transports salt, I believe they can be sold at a good price. Based on their experience, the mercenaries not only gave Zhou Tian a general explanation of the nearby situation, but finally even mentioned their opinions to Zhou Tian based on their experience.
Don't mention whether you agree with the words of those mercenaries, at least Zhou Tian is very happy to listen to the other party's words now, after all, the mercenary can say that kind of thing to him now, which shows that the other party intends to befriend him. And since the other party has that kind of mind, as long as Zhou Tian takes the initiative a little more and wants to establish a certain friendly relationship with this mercenary team, it will not be a problem for Zhou Tian. And as long as this mercenary team has a good relationship with Zhou Tian, then if there is a chance to ask them for something trivial on Sunday, it is unlikely that these mercenaries will refuse.
In this way, as long as the team of mercenaries can really help him at that time, then it will be much easier for Zhou Tian to make a name for himself in his territory.
Since he had that kind of thought, and at the same time, it seemed that those mercenaries also intended to befriend him, and at that time, Zhou Tian would not refuse the intention of those mercenaries to befriend him.
Next, under Zhou Tian's active contact, he talked to those elves about planting, the taste of fruits and vegetables, and fought liquor with those orcs with beer. Anyway, under Zhou Tian's various deliberate friendships, it didn't take long for a group of mercenaries who didn't know Zhou Tian at all, and they were like old friends.
Even in that atmosphere at that time, a group of orcs who had never thought of staying in Zhou Tian's territory for a long time not only stayed in Zhou Tian's territory in the end, but even prepared to leave after spending the night.
And just after a group of mercenaries got drunk at that time, Zhou Tian set up those orcs and barbarians, but finally walked into a house alone with a beautiful elf.
