The elder Preg looked closely at the replica samples of the Chamber of Commerce, and felt as if they were indeed similar to the ones sold by Offit. Merely......

"Master, this aspect of efficiency?"

"Ahem, well, I'm a beginner in that kind of skill, and it's inevitable that I will make more waste products at a slower speed. ”

"How long do you estimate it will take to bring the cost down to the same or even lower than our current process?"

"Well, normally speaking, we dwarves need to practice for twenty or thirty years before they are regarded as qualified blacksmiths, and although that kind of skill is not difficult, it must be practiced for ten or eight years. ”

Old Preg was extremely disappointed. The Offet Chamber of Commerce has rented a storefront in the dock area, and has officially sold two kinds of needles and fish hooks, and the price has obvious advantages, fire sickles and knives are also being sold, although there is no price advantage, but driven by needles and fish hooks, they are also selling well. If the production capacity is sufficient, it will not take ten or eight years, but only two or three years, and it will be possible for them to monopolize the market for needles and fish hooks in the Moon Sea or even on a larger scale, and it will not be easy to grab food in the future.

Lose step by step, lose step by step, only make an off-board move.

"John, find someone to expose their crime of colluding with pirates to sell the stolen goods, and do something secret. ”

"However, we haven't found out their details yet. They have little contact with the outside world and are not very easy to investigate. ”

"Then hurry up, if it doesn't work, find someone to try them. ”

"I'll arrange it as soon as possible. ”

"Be careful, don't let people suspect us. ”

The investigation into the Orfit Chamber of Commerce, Goblin Town, and the Mysterious Adventurers has been going on for some time, with the Preg Chamber of Commerce, the Thunder Mercenary Regiment, and the Tide Mercenary Regiment each sending henchmen to conduct it secretly.

The Preg Chamber of Commerce's investigation focused on the Offit Chamber of Commerce in Centia. They investigated the shops rented by the Offit Chamber of Commerce in the docks, but found that not only did the shops have very few employees, but they were all newly hired and only responsible for selling things, so they didn't know the specifics at all.

Offitt himself is very vigilant and never divulges relevant information. Mrs. Offet wasn't too vigilant, but she knew very little, and the only useful information was that her son-in-law had visited the other day, and he was supposed to be the mage in Goblin Town. The eldest daughter is in Goblin Town and can't investigate. The youngest daughter spends her days with a mage named Adrian, who is said to be the future son-in-law of their family. There is a piece of news that is interesting, Adrian spent a lot of money in debt a few days ago, and as a result, two of the magic equipment of the goblin town mage were used to pay off the debt.

The Thunder Mercenary Regiment's investigation focuses on Goblin Town. Rex's henchmen are all humans, and there's no way to sneak into a non-human lair like Goblin Town without attracting attention. They tried to capture two goblins, but the goblins were newly domesticated and knew almost nothing. The only useful information is that the goblins who command a large number of their men in groups of three or five arrived relatively early, and may know more things.

The henchmen made a lot of effort to catch an important goblin, and after a detailed interrogation, they got some information.

"From the woods on the other side of the mountain, follow the leader No. 1 to join the mercenary group, and set up a temporary camp here to catch the goblins. ”

"Mike the host is the strongest man in the world. ”

"The deputy head of the regiment is the best man in the world. ”

"The dragon master is the wisest dragon in the world. ”

"The hostess is the most beautiful person in the world. ”

"Second Miss is the loveliest person in the world. ”

"We were selected by the Dragon Master and the No. 1 Leader in the mountains, and we are elite warriors. ”

"The dwarf came with the hostess, met on the way, and I don't know why he followed. ”

That's pretty much everything the goblin knows!

Capturing Leader No. 1 and Miss No. 2 is beyond the power of their henchmen, so they have to find another way.

Rex's henchmen found two red dragons over the mountains and found two important pieces of news for two hundred gold coins: "That dragon is a wild dragon in the vicinity." "The red dragons also wanted to sell a few more messages, such as the name of the dragon, but the henchmen refused, and then everyone fought, and one of the henchmen died.

The Tides Mercenary Group's investigation focuses on the Coria Pirates and the nearby Fishmen. Melodi's henchmen are fishmen, and it is easier to communicate with the forces in the sea. But when they planned to find out information through the patrolling fishmen, they were pulled by the fishmen. A week later, one died and two fled, and got the following messages:

King Koria wanted to build a town by the sea, so he had to block the sea to suppress the bandits, and the sea is still blocked.

Goblin Town had been in danger of destroying Bruno's whales by crushing the siege crabs that had landed on the land, but he seized the opportunity to destroy Bruno's whale and force it down, and now it is a powerful one.

The Kingdom of Koria has recently received a shipment of grain, the origin of which is unknown.

Pregrex and the others took this information in exchange for money and lives, carefully analyzed the origin of the other party, and had a rough guess. In order to further confirm and test the strength of the other party, Little Preg formulated several plans, one of which was to use a mercenary named Brad with good strength.

Brad has a mission at the Academy of Magic: to find a half-elf girl. "Find a beautiful girl with pale blonde hair and light green pupils, who has been abducted by slave traders and whose whereabouts are unknown. There were two slave traders, a human mage and a half-orc warrior, possibly armed goblins and goblin slaves. Those who provide clues will be rewarded with 5 to 50 gold coins, depending on the situation. Whoever rescues the maiden will be rewarded with 200 gold coins. ”

Little Preg was overjoyed after seeing the mission: it's Goblin Town, it's not them, it's them.

It's just that Brad didn't know where he had gone, and he couldn't find anyone for a while, so he could only leave his contact information and wait for him to come back.

Mike, for his part, already knew that someone was investigating them. Rex's henchmen found that the two red dragons were the guardian dragons of the Leadpeak Dragon Palace, one named Lola and the other named Alan. The Red Dragon Lady had already confessed, and she was only allowed to say that Thrall was a local wild dragon recruited by the mercenary group. Not long after fighting with his henchmen, Lola flew to Sanzang Town and informed Sal of the news.

"Could it be the investigators that Koria brought in from destroying the Pioneer camp some time ago?" said Sermena.

"Possibly, though, Kena, does Sentia have a large number of chambers of commerce that make needles and fishhooks?" Mike immediately thought of commercial espionage.

"Preg Chamber of Commerce, that's where we used to wholesale both things. ”

"Well, in any case, send more people to strengthen the protection of important places and important people, Goku, please. ”

"No problem. ”

"Kena'er, you and Sissi should be very careful, it will be troublesome if someone is caught. ”

"Well, we know. ”

"Sermena, when you go to Sentia again, ask Mr. Offitt to pay more attention to the actions of the Preg Chamber of Commerce, and also to pay attention to any adventures against us. ”

"Good. ”

"Brother Salr, I found that you have been very inefficient at catching people lately, and you must have captured almost all the people in the vicinity. For the sake of efficiency, I think you should train your troops first and then capture them when a tribe migrates. ”

"Brother Mike is very true, and so do I, who am wise. "Some time ago, Sal had stopped arresting people, but after the attack on the town of Sanzang by Koria, the number of people was greatly reduced, so he started to capture people again. Now there are more than a thousand goblins, and there are three or four hundred goblin bears, goblins, and gnolls.

Goblins are creatures that are very reproductive, and a female goblin can give birth once or twice a year, two or three times a year. The growth rate is very fast, you can work at the age of two or three, and you are a full adult before the age of ten. The life expectancy is long, and the basic living guarantee can live to the age of forty or fifty.

The reason why he failed to rule the world was naturally because of the extremely low individual combat effectiveness. They are about eighty centimeters tall, and they are a little burder than the thin kobolds, but that's all. In terms of intelligence, it is similar to that of kobolds, with an average of 11 or 2 years old, and can do most jobs but has no advantages.

Such a race is naturally an excellent slave race. Because they are taller than kobolds and have more strength, it is more convenient for taller races such as human orcs to work as servants, so they are often in an advantageous position when competing with kobolds for slave positions. In addition, they are also important cannon fodder.

Everyone mistakenly thinks that Mike is a slave tamer, and that's why. Of course, he is now organizing goblin slaves to engage in production and construction, and there is no reason to blame others for wronging him.

The construction speed of Sanzang Town was relatively fast during this time, to be precise, the underground construction speed was relatively fast.

The first 50 dwarves of the Dragon Palace have arrived, 30 stonemasons lead the goblins to chisel the stones, and 20 builders lead the goblins to build the dungeon. Pregg's spies didn't spot the dwarves, mainly because they came too early. But even if they come now, they won't necessarily find out.

The reason is simple, the dwarves are underground, and even the goblins don't know about it.

Originally, Mike was going to let the dwarves dig rocks in the open on the rocky beach, but everyone strongly protested, saying that this place was very windy on the seaside, but there was no shelter, and it was freezing to death in winter, and they had to build a workshop and have a stove to keep warm.

It's obviously impossible for Mike to agree to such a request.

"Then let's get over it and get over it in that underground factory. "The dwarven leader is talking about the small factory that Mike had the goblins dig before, which has been digging for more than a month, and the goblin workers have moved there to produce needles and hooks, and live there.

"It's inconvenient to have to transport the stones. Mike hesitated.

"Isn't the stone brick just going to be used there, it's not all the same when it's shipped first, there's nothing inconvenient. ”

"Well, well. Mike thought it made sense.

So the dwarves took over the goblin factory. It was warmer and much more comfortable than outside, and they had taken a fancy to it from the beginning, but they were afraid that they would be rejected if they proposed it directly, so they had to first propose a plan that would definitely be rejected, and then retreat to occupy the goblin factory.
