Chapter 497: The Pretender
"What are you doing here?"
Looking at this person, Jiang Hao didn't quite understand what he was planning to do.
After all, the matter here is basically settled, and it stands to reason that King Abia should not have anything else to do.
"The king has asked you to come over secretly and tell you about the ferry."
"Ferry...... Okay, I see. ”
Although he has not officially met with the dwarven clan yet, it seems that the king of Abia has already planned to tell Jiang Hao about the essentials of meeting with the dwarf clan.
After all, these are two different races, and it is very likely that they all have different values.
If something offensive is done, then it is very likely that it will already face a collapse before the conditions of use have been negotiated.
In this matter, Jiang Hao really planned to make part of the inquiry to King Abiya.
After all, they're the ones who have a lot of contact with the dwarves.
After a while, Jiang Hao and his party came to the underground palace.
As Jiang Hao expected, there was no one here.
It seems that King Abia didn't want too many people to know about it.
"Your Majesty, here we are."
Jiang Hao saw King Abiya and stepped forward to salute.
"Okay, okay, there's only a few of us left here, there's no need to be so restrained."
Seeing Jiang Hao and them, King Abia didn't want to always hold a shelf.
After all, it's all this posture on weekdays, and it's quite tiring.
"If you want to use the dwarven crossing to enter the territory of the dwarves, it looks like you're going for the trolls."

To be honest, Jiang Hao was also a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, this king has already seen through his plan of action.
Although it was impossible for him to guess what he was going to do with the troll clan, he had to say that being able to guess his intention to go to the troll clan was no longer something that ordinary strategists could see.
"If you're planning to go to the Troll Clan, it's better to talk to the Dwarven Clan from the beginning."
"It's ......"
"If you're going to find the dwarves, then whether they'll help or not, it's up to them to think about it, the dwarves aren't trouble-loving races, so if your purpose isn't for the dwarves, then they'll be happy to help, at least on my recommendation."
The dwarves do hate trouble.
Their minds are all spent on craftsmanship and production, and for other things, they are basically in a state of being able to avoid it.
If Jiang Hao and the others were planning to do business in the place of the dwarves, then the dwarves would definitely think about this matter for a long time.
After all, as a craft-conscious race, they don't want too much to disturb their minds.
Many of the things brought by other races have affected the level of their craftsmanship to some extent.
At least one in five dwarves have begun to focus on business.
As for the others, the dwarves, who have not yet received the influence of other races, are still working silently and diligently in the workshop.
"The dwarves don't hate communication, it's just that in the production field, their level is already at the peak, so there is no other race that can communicate with them, so when you see the dwarves, just relax, in addition to paying too much attention to the production process, the rest of the emotions are no different from humans."
"Ah, the dwarves are true, but there must still be something special about this dock, right? Otherwise, we wouldn't have to make a special trip. ”
After hearing King Abia's words, Karl Rod still had some vigilance.
After all, if you need to find out how to please the dwarves and increase the probability of using their ports, you can just ask Karl Rod directly.
But even Carl Rhodes doesn't know everything.
For example, what is so special about this newly built port?
"That's true, it's not a problem to use the port, but you must not indicate that you are doing business."
Hearing these words, Jiang Hao also had some feelings that he didn't know what was going on.
Although the dwarves do not encourage people of their own race to do business, it should be more welcome for other races to come to their side to do business, as long as they don't set up stores.
As for what King Abia meant, Jiang Hao really felt that there was something that didn't know what was going on.
"The people in the royal capital of the dwarven clan naturally don't hate people who do business there for a short time, but if you make it clear from the beginning that you plan to go over to do business, then you will be blackmailed by the administrators of the port."
"Blackmail?"
Jiang Hao still didn't understand.
"Even if it's blackmail, there's nothing to do, and the funds on our side are still relatively ......"
"It's not about extorting money."
King Abia was suddenly much more serious.
"I mean, there's a good chance they're trying to extort something else from you."
"Huh?"
"Because the dwarves have recently become more interested in the specialties of other races, and through the people of the Duchy of Abia, they have become more aware of the character of humans, and they will think that merchants are people with no status in the human race, so they will treat merchants more presumptuously."
Jiang Hao thought about it carefully, although it was not to say that he had no status, but among the human race, merchants really needed to rely on nobles to continue to survive.
Otherwise, a single chamber of commerce can establish a brand, and only those things that Jiang Hao bought at that time were on the eve of the fight.
The rest of the stuff is basically known to other merchants.
And, in general, in human territory, it is indeed difficult to have any support.
Even if there are a few nobles who prefer to buy the goods of a particular merchant, they are only a relationship of buying and selling.
As for the rest of the things, there is really no affection in it.
"So, if we don't hand over some of the specialties that belong directly to humanity, they're very likely to refuse our request, right?"
Jiang Hao looked at King Abiya, it really didn't look like a lie.
"At that time, we were planning to buy a large number of weapons, but they blackmailed us, and in the end, I gave them some infantry training methods, so that they could take us to the royal capital of the dwarf kingdom."
Hearing this, Jiang Hao thought about it.
"What do you mean...... Do you want us to pretend to be some noble people? ”
"That's right, that's exactly what it means."
