Due to Giggs's ongoing policy of preferential treatment of merchants in order to stimulate the further development of the Spark Territory, when a businessman asked to see him, he directly agreed to meet him.

And the merchant's poor appearance made Giggs scold for a while, but still motioned for the wine trough-nosed merchant to sit down, Anna walked lightly to Giggs and the merchant, and then walked behind Giggs to stand, she did not forget that she was Giggs's maid, even if no of the lord's maids had the pleasant life she had now.

Giggs looked at the merchant's wine trough with interest and asked, "What do you call it, this gentleman~ I think you must be in some trouble and need the help of the Spark Collar~"

"Lord Sir, you can call me Nick, honest Nick, that's what everyone calls me~" After hearing Giggs's question, the merchant who took a sip of hot tea quickly wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and said his name.

Watching his short body make such a move, Anna couldn't help but turn her head and cover her mouth and laugh, Giggs helplessly handed her a "you will be punished" look, but Anna couldn't help laughing even more, trotting out of the living room.

Giggs pretended to be nonchalant and said to Nick, "Nick, right? Continuing with my question, do you need my help with anything? If it's a general problem, I think the people at the business management center I set up next to the Jazz House will solve it for you." “

Nick suddenly hesitated at this point, and his bearded face made such a twisting motion that Giggs couldn't help but frown.

"My lord, that's right, since you helped us small merchants to deal with the thieves on the nearby trade routes, our safety has been greatly guaranteed, so I thought of what you said about protecting the property of those of us merchants who had paid commercial taxes in the Spark in the east of the Oak Mountains, so I built a small lumberyard. ”

"Talking about the point~" Giggs knocked on the table impatiently.

"That's right, my lord, the little one built a lumberyard and recruited lumberjacks in the various territories, but one of my long-lost brothers suddenly appeared, and my God, in fact I would have thought he was dead, if it weren't for the fact that he was standing in front of me with his trademark wine nose and beard. Nick quickly jumped out of his chair and spoke with some urgency.

Giggs couldn't help but rub his temples with his hands, closed his eyes and said in a somewhat stern tone, "This Mr. Nick, honest Mr. Nick, if you don't get to the point, can I think you're playing tricks on me?

"My lord, I can guarantee that it is definitely not a small matter, this must be a big thing~ It's a dwarf, a dwarf!" Nick, who was a little panicked, quickly said the point.

The word dwarf succeeded in attracting Giggs's attention, and he decided to give the merchant a chance to continue.

"My brother came back to me, he couldn't even remember how to say it, I really don't know how he found me, and after all this time of getting used to it, he had remembered what the Elvish language was saying, so he told me about his experience. ”

"Ten years ago, this guy had fantasized about the adventurers in the story, and he quietly ran away from home, leaving only a letter at home, and he and his adventurer friends had traveled to the Oak Mountains for a special adventure. ”

"They met the ogres of the Oak Mountains, and his adventurer friends managed to go through an adventure as food for the ogres, while my lucky brother managed to escape, and he found something very sad. ”

"He got lost~ He kept wandering around the Oak Mountains, not knowing where he went, and finally fainted in a place because he had no food on him, and when he woke up, he found himself in a black stone house in a dwarf town. ”

Frightened, he disguised himself as an amnesiac man, and his appearance made the dwarves think he was a demented dwarf, so he settled down on the dwarves' side. Nick said with a strange expression.

Giggs took a closer look at Nick's appearance, and mentally acquiesced to the fact that his brother was considered a dwarf, and said, "Your brother's adventures are really good, but ~ and then?"

"My younger brother relied on the wisdom of the merchant inherited from our family to become a well-known dwarven merchant, after he made a fortune, he continued to recruit dwarves to explore the Oak Mountains, hoping to find a way to the homeland of humans, fortunately, he has not forgotten that he is a human, not those dwarves. “

He had been preaching to his dwarven friends that he was going to find a trade route to the humans and trade with them, so after years of witnessing, his dwarven friends accepted his idea, but they didn't know that he just wanted to find a way home. ”

"The hard work paid off, he succeeded, he found a trade route through the Orc Mountains in the Oc Mountains, and he saw me again. ”

"And during this period of life, his reason to let the dwarves trade with humans has been tempting the two of us, think about it, what a huge benefit, my brother knows what the dwarves need, and I know what we need on the human side, plus the unique trade routes, this is simply a wonderful trading environment. ”

"But the Oc Mountains are not safe, and in fact the dwarven guards he brought with him this time have lost a lot of manpower, because they are just ordinary caravan members, not brave warriors. ”

"So, I thought of you, Lord Sir, your strength has spread throughout the Whispering Forest, and you have constantly eliminated many gnolls on your own, and even your strength has attracted the attention of the elves, and you have eliminated many gnolls with the elves, if you can send your army to help us open up this golden trade route, then a steady stream of benefits is already in front of our eyes. Nick stretched his hands high and spoke to Giggs in an impassioned tone about his plans.

And Giggs is indeed tempted. He didn't expect that this somewhat filthy merchant would bring him such exciting news, the trade route between humans and dwarves! Thinking about it made Giggs feel that the future was bright, Giggs was not thinking about simple commercial interests, in fact, for a lord with lofty pursuits, this interest would not make him too tempted.

He was still concerned about the trading itself, this was a good opportunity for him to learn about the internal situation of the dwarves, the dwarves and goblins could become the rulers of the western part of the continent, then they must have something that could compete with the power of the orcs, the magic of the elves, and Giggs was looking forward to getting the news of this.

So, after a short period of thought, Giggs, who has always been very decisive, stretched out his right hand to Nick, "Then ~happy cooperation, honest Nick~"

Nick was stunned for a moment, he was still thinking about how to convince the wise lord in front of him, but he didn't expect Giggs to agree so quickly, which had to make Nick's impression of Giggs add a [bold], wiped his right palm on his clothes, Nick quickly stretched out his right hand and held Giggs's hand, "Lord Sir ~ happy cooperation ~ I have to say that you are an extremely powerful lord ~"
