In the millennium since the founding of Cormier, whether it is a nobleman in a silk robe, a knight in armor, or a learned scholar, no one has counted how many intelligent races there are in the rockland.

Link did his best to send an emissary to the cottage that knew the location, and thanks to the previous battles and the iron trade, even the most ferocious orc tribe did not kill the orc mercenaries who acted as emissaries, but accepted the letter brought by the emissary, and most of the tribes agreed to hold a meeting in Far Rock to discuss trade.

According to Link's preliminary statistics, there are hundreds of orcs, gnolls, goblins, and bear goblin tribes in the rocks, plus mountain people's villages, as for the goblins, there are even more kobold tribes, and there are still a few black dragons living in the swamps of the rocks, controlling several lizardmen tribes and a few ghost woman squads, forming a small kingdom, a ruin in the north of the rockland, entrenched in an eyedemon who gathers a large number of slaves, in addition, it is worth noting that there are several strong strongholds of the Santarin Society, and there may be quite powerful Santarin Mages in it。

Far Rock is a huge mountain rock, surrounded by empty woodland, you can clearly see the surrounding movements, this mountain rock still has the remnants of severely weathered stone tables and chairs, is the remnants of the ancient orc kingdom, this kingdom existed when Cormier had not yet established a state, and the dangerous rock fort was not established, the orcs could calmly go south to rob the elves and humans of the King's Forest, and now, the former orc kingdom has come to naught, leaving only these old stone tables and chairs, and the orcs of the rock land are here to discuss matters, before the "magic dragon" It was here that Narafarosattori took the oath of the orc chiefs and headed south.

Link stood on top of the far rock, greeting the arrogant tribal chiefs, orcs, gnolls, bear goblins, goblins, mountain people, there were more than forty chiefs present, according to the agreement, each brought two guards, and the chiefs greeted each other according to their familiarity, looking very noisy.

In the face of Link's greeting, most of them nodded perfunctorily, and some people directly ignored Link, the mountain leaders were quite respectful to Link, the orcs looked at him with hostility and jealousy, and a few grumpy orc chieftains provoked Link, until they saw Balusa standing next to Link, and then they sat down in their seats in fear.

"Fortunately, it was a round table, otherwise it would have taken most of the day just to fight for the main seat. Link sat down in his seat, secretly glad in his heart.

Most of the orc chiefs were dressed in rusty breastplates or chain mail, with heavy two-handed swords or battle axes at their sides, and there were many scars on their bodies, and their faces were painted with oil paint, deliberately showing their yellowed fangs, which made them look extremely disgusting.

There is a lot of difference between the appearance of the goblin and the bear goblin, the goblin is like an enlarged goblin, much stronger than the goblin, and the bear goblin is stronger, the head is a combination of the goblin and the bear, covered with dirty animal hair, and the jackals are still the ridiculous appearance of the wolf's head, which makes Link laugh secretly, and most of the mountain people are some old people with sad faces, with a kind of sorrow and caution on their faces.

Secretly looking at the chiefs in attendance, Link spoke, "Everyone knows the purpose of this meeting, and I propose—"

Before Link could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an orc whose muscles almost broke his armor: "Human cub, why should the people of Geush listen to you?"

Link looked at the orc chief who wore a black blindfold over one eye, wondering if this orc was really blind in one eye, or if he was imitating the one-eyed of the orc god Geush, Link sneered.

"Who are you? I negotiated with Durag of Rock Fort to reopen the Rock trade, and they only recognized me. ”

"When I was Rika, the son of Greiner, the chief of the Bloodclaw Tribe, I knew a lot of smugglers, and I could-"

"You can't!" Link interrupted the orc chief with a roar, "the smuggling team you know is finished, now it's time for everything to start over!

As he spoke, Link took out a handful of cloves and said: "These dried cloves can be sold for fifteen gold coins per pound in the markets of the royal capital of Cormir and Sambia, and they are worth more than cinnamon, ginger, pepper, agarwood, and myrrh in the spice market, and they are only cheaper than saffron, but in the rocks, even the most powerful orc tribes, the smuggling team can exchange only five bags of fifty pounds of aged wheat for one pound of cloves, whereas in previous years, each pound of wheat could be bought in the market for only one copper coin." ”

Link looked at the chiefs who were talking to each other, and breathed a sigh of relief, Link had previously seized a brochure of the Sambian Merchant House from a certain orc tribe, probably left by a merchant who had been killed in the Rocks, Link found that this beautiful brochure recorded the various goods and prices that the Sambian Merchant House in Susar, the capital of Cormier, could provide, as well as hand-painted patterns, allowing Link to understand the prices in the Cormier royal capital.

According to Link's inquiry about the old man in the commune, the smugglers' grain is all old grain, and there are a lot of stones, such grain will undoubtedly be cheaper, and the windfall profits of the rock trade can be imagined, but the price that Link has mastered is in previous years, and now is the era of war, the price of grain will definitely rise wildly, and the luxury market in Cormier's country will shrink significantly, and the current price Link does not know.

Roaring to express his displeasure, the orc chief said, "But we can't help it, we need food!"

"That's because you're not united, and if we can sell the goods at a uniform price, it's up to us how much they give us. ”

"No way, they can not trade with us, they can do without cashmere, herbs and spices, they can do without mountain goods and furs, we can't do without food and salt!" the other orc chief retorted.

Link glanced at the chief seriously, and said in a loud voice: "The situation is different, the nobles and merchants of Cormier need to make money, to recruit private soldiers, hire mercenaries and mages, and buy armaments, but now it is a time of war, they are not able to use force against the rocks, as long as we let them still make a lot of money, they will trade with us, even if they want to manipulate the price, just like the rocks in the past, there will always be people who can't help but trade with us." ”

"Then why are we going to let you represent us?

Link held the handful of cloves in his hand and said: "If there are more goods in the market, the price of goods will fall, and if there are fewer goods, the price will rise, do you know how to control the quantity of goods flowing out of the rock and keep the value at the highest? The law of commodity economy is an objective law, do you know what is the invisible hand? Do you know what is the relationship between supply and demand? What is the supply curve and the demand curve?"

Looking at the group of dumbfounded alien chiefs, Link added, "And, most importantly, I'm a human! I'm the spokesperson of Netherworld City in the rocks, I have a powerful force behind me, and I know how to deal with humans, merchants, and how to get the most out of everyone here! Will those Cormiers trust you aliens? or a human!"
