Chapter 131: Goblin Caravan
In the evening, when the two moons in the world of Azeroth rose one after another, Kai Kai wrapped a little luggage from his [Orgrimmar Orphanage] and gave the nursery worker Butterville a gold coin to improve the food for the other little orcs, and then reluctantly said goodbye to the little orcs, saying that he was going out for a while, so that they should not make Butterville angry.
However, it is very strange that the boss of [Orgrimmar Orphanage], the little orc girl and the grandmaster-level acting master Xia Qiya, was not present.
Maybe she didn't dare to come to see me, right? Kai Kai thought.
Kai Kai was just about to leave when he heard a deliberately muffled roar......
Kai Kai felt that this voice was very familiar (if you are not familiar with it, please read chapters 8 and 21),
Damn, is this Tosamina trying to hit me again?
Kai Kai hurriedly squatted against the wall with his head in his hands, and didn't dare to say a word - he was about to form a conditioned reflex.
Tosamina did show up, but not to hit him.
Instead, he walked over with a [scholar's robe], and Tosamina said to him in a hoarse voice, "Child, why are you leaving?" I see that you are so old and still wear pants every day, so I bought you a robe, you can wear it!
Kaikai was very moved, and immediately put on his robe and thanked Tosamina for his kindness.
This set of [Scholar's Robes] does not have any attributes, but it looks very much like the [Scholar's Robes] dropped by the Dark Abyss, white clothes with dark red piping, it is indeed chic and generous to wear, Kai Kai feels that it is quite in line with his latest positioning of [Orgrimmar Civilian Unit] and [Real-world Traffic Xiaosheng].
Kai Kai was overjoyed and thanked Tosamina again.
The old aunt of the orphanage said that there is no need to thank you, I paid a deposit of 5 copper coins for this robe, and the remaining 20 silver, do you remember to return it to the tailor shop......
Kai Kai was immediately stunned.
Kai Kai asked her directly, isn't this the robe you gave me?
Tosamina immediately said, yes, but I don't have that much spare money to send you such good clothes, I can pay a deposit, and you can do the rest yourself. I give you a robe and you pay a part of the money, there is no conflict.
"The question is, Auntie, didn't you get two gold coins last time?" Kai Kai said.
"Yes! But do you know how you can use these two gold coins where they matter most - just don't spend them, my child! Tosamina looked sincere.
Well, Kai Kai thought, this is not the real world, and there is no injustice to Dai Yue who took the initiative to give himself a full set of expensive clothes.
Well, this is the world I know.
……
Goblin caravans travel between Ratchet City and Orgrimmar, and occasionally, they also run the Theramore line.
However, compared to Orgrimmar, the main city of orcs without a port, Theramore is small and has its own fleet, so it is indeed a bit of a chicken rib to do their business, so the main energy of the goblin caravan is on the Orgrimmar trading route.
The World of Warcraft game cannot reproduce the prosperity of this great trade route.
Twice a month, the goblin caravans come and go to Orgrimmar.
The goblin caravan consisted of nearly 50 goblin guards and merchants, and 200 tall and sturdy Kodo beasts carried abundant supplies, and the mighty caravan stretched for nearly two kilometers, spending five days and nights to reach Orgrimmar.
Orgrimmar would unload tribal supplies such as armor, gunpowder, goblin bombs, and goblin pacemakers, as well as a variety of alliance-made muskets, wine, and hobbies from Treasure Bay to supply the tribe's needs.
On the way back, the caravan was filled with ore from the Barrens, rare metals collected from the Ashen Valley, herbs from Mogore, and even the orc's most famous arsenal, the Burning Anvil and the Legendary Equipment, crafted by themselves themselves.
Of course, goblin merchants also sell their own gadgets to the inhabitants of Orgrimmar, such as pirates' parrots, pocket watches, silver knives and forks, and so on.
Every time the goblin caravan comes to Orgrimmar, the Valley of Power is filled with the sound of goblin oil,
"Time is money, my friend!"
"We're genuine, childlike here."
"Can I help you slim down your wallet?"
……
While the Horde and the Coalition are currently in semi-hostilities, it stands to reason that controlled items such as muskets and weapons should not be commodity.
But the goblins believe that where there is demand, there will be supply! Whatever it is!
Not only now, but they can even buy and sell any controlled material in wartime between the two forces that are directly at war.
Ratchet City, a small goblin coastal city located in the south of the Kalimdor tribe's sphere of influence, relies on the dominant position of the Horde and the Alliance as a transit point, coupled with the convenience of the secret exchange of materials between the two forces, and obtains a high amount of profit from the two sides every month, which is simply comfortable.
Moreover, due to the excitement of war, the Horde and the Alliance are desperately climbing the technology tree and the magic tree.
Compared with the alliance with gnome leaders who are proficient in technology, the tribe does not have many scientific and technological talents, so the tribe is more willing to cooperate with the goblins, and the goblins help develop various new arms control materials and new thermal weapons.
Every month, a flood of Tribal Gold comes to Ratchet City.
Of course, the goblins also live up to the expectations of the tribe's upper echelons.
Goblin airships built by goblin engineers can ignore mountains and rivers to provide emergency supplies to various tribal camps, which can only allow several tribal camps in the Eastern Kingdom continent to survive.
Goblin technology is indeed a high-quality product, except for the relatively high accident rate.
As Kaikai arrived in the Valley of Power, the leader of the goblin caravan, Sbotlaw, was standing on the tall shelves next to the Kodomon, leaning over and boasting to the troll Lokan that they were working on a massive flying gunboat with two airbags that could carry hundreds of heavily armed soldiers and dozens of large-caliber guns.
This magical flying gunboat can even ignore the enemy's ground firepower and land directly on a strong fortress like Stormwind or Ice Fortress, directly launching a decapitation operation on the enemy's head, which is simply a militaristic artifact to dominate the skies of Azeroth in the future!
With an indispensable expression on his face, Lokan listened to Sbotlaw's chatter with a frown, and poked his finger at a gadget called the [Ultra-Low Temperature Ice Deflector] on the shelf next to a goblin merchant with a price tag of 5 gold coins.
“…… In short, this special armament that will determine the future of Azeroth is in the process of being developed, and we have put in the best minds and hardest working efforts of the goblins, and we hope that Lord Lokan will have the opportunity to lead the Tribal military to visit our [Goblin Laboratory]! ”
Goblin Sbotlaw nodded at Lokan with a sharp voice, and after introducing it, he took off the [Ultra-Low Temperature Ice Deflector] and stuffed it into the hands of the troll Lokan, and said to him with a smile,
"Goblin products, it must be a boutique my friend!"
Lokanhaha smiled, put the blue quality gadget in his pocket, and told the goblin that he would definitely take Wojin to Ratchet City to see the Horde's future important weapons!
Lokan turned his face and saw Kai Kai in his robes, smiled and pulled the little minotaur over and introduced him to the goblin caravan leader. Of course, Lokan is just saying that this little minotaur is a civilian scholar of Orgrimmar.
Goblin Sbotvaw was clearly still thinking about selling weapons to the Horde, so he described to Kai Kai with an exaggerated expression (in order to deepen the image of Lokan, who had just been distracted), how powerful this gunboat that dominated the sky, how incredible it was!
Finally, the goblin asked Kaikai, "What do you think of this great aerial battleship, mighty Minotaur Minotaur?" ”
"I think it's good!" Kai Kai is frank.
"If you could give it a name, what would it be?"
"Well, I think it's nice to call it the Hammer of Orgrim!" Kaikai smiled at the goblin.
"Oh my God! What a fitting name! Dear Sir, you are such a genius! ”
Goblin Sbotlaw said to Kai Kai with a smile, and then he muttered privately,
“…… Oh, and another potential customer! ”
