Chapter 1475 Quenching Steel Ingot Merchant Group [Subscription Request]

The reception of the territory is designed to be very large.

The area is comparable to several large city manors.

It is roughly divided into two areas, inner and outer.

It can receive caravans, apostles and visitors of various sizes at the same time.

According to Howie, the scale of this goblin merchant group is not small.

There are more than 500 people, a large number of goblin airships, and various magical mechas.

There is also a large team of ogres as bodyguards.

It is a tradition for goblins to hire ogre guards, which has almost become a signature configuration.

The original goblin merchant Boswell also had ogre guards.

The difference between it and this merchant group is only the number.

Those stinky ogres are of course not qualified to enter the territory.

They are all placed in the suburbs.

As for the airships, they are parked in the airship dock, which is also located on the outskirts of the territory.

Only a few business group leaders can enter the reception.

Even the accompanying guards can only be brought in two.

They were two burly two-headed ogres, wearing a full set of fine gold armor, with clear runes on them, and looked quite sophisticated.

The two two-headed ogres looked serious, not as chaotic and casual as other ogres.

And there was no quarrel between their two heads.

This showed that they all had self-control different from other tribesmen.

As high-level ogres over five meters tall, the two formed a sharp contrast with the short but gorgeously dressed leaders of the goblin merchant group.

Perhaps this contrast itself is also a deterrent.

The shorter you are, the more you want to be taller.

This itself exposes the inner desire and expectation of the goblins.

Zong Shen did not bring any guards, only eight condensed clones followed behind him.

The aura of these clones was extremely restrained, and there was no sense of disobedience following behind him.

After all, they shared a consciousness with Zong Shen, which was equivalent to a wingman next to the host.

After receiving Zong Shen's notice, Howie also rode a commander-level scorpion-tailed tiger and hurried over.

Aerial mounts are standard equipment for the leadership in the territory.

Everything is for efficiency.

In many cases, air riding is more convenient than achieving a short-distance teleportation array.

After all, the teleportation array still needs to set up nodes, while air riding can be mounted at any time.

The sound of the scorpion-tailed tiger flapping its wings can be heard from a long distance.

Zong Shen deliberately waited at the door.

He saw with his own eyes that the huge commander-level scorpion-tailed tiger landed in front of him.

Howie, wearing a long gown, turned over quickly and bowed to Zong Shen.

Even the scorpion-tailed tiger knelt and lowered its head.

Zong Shen waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.

"Let's go, let's see what kind of secret weapons these goblin "little friends" have to trade."

He curled his lips slightly, not holding much hope for this.

If there is a secret weapon that is really useful to him, he is willing to spend money.

However, imagine that for Zong Shen, something that can be called a "secret weapon" is at least a wonder and a spectacle.

No matter which one, it is not something that this kind of merchant group can master.

Even if there is, it is impossible to actively sell it door-to-door.

Such good things are either hidden or negotiated with those big forces.

It is impossible to be so careless.

So far, the only secret weapons that Zong Shen has encountered are the [Eye of the End] from the burial bunker.

It is divided into 1099 parts and stored in baggage boxes.

The territory is assembling and restoring it.

It is expected to take a month.

Several parts are missing, and the workshop has to find a way to reproduce or make a replacement.

According to Iron Hand Barenk, the assembly of [Eye of the End] is quite complicated. Not only does it correspond to all the secret pattern circuits, but some also require specific rituals.

The steps are very cumbersome. If it is not for the detailed assembly manual found while searching for parts, plus the information support provided by the strategy module, it would be difficult to just assemble it.

The devil's secret weapon is so troublesome.

It is conceivable what kind of threshold the secret weapons of other forces have.

But since the other party has come and asked to meet him.

Then Zong Shen would not mind giving it a try.

Because he is also very interested in goblin technology.

Judging from the scale of the other party's business group, if we talk, we may really gain something.

The current workshop foundation of the territory is still very immature. Although there are a large number of craftsmen and skills from the giant city of Luntax, there are still many vacancies.

If it can be supplemented by trade, it is also a good idea.

Zong Shen casually greeted Howie and walked into one of the reception halls.

The leaders of the goblin business groups came here in advance to wait after receiving the news.

Just now, Zong Shen used his visual ability to see the situation in the reception hall in advance from a long distance.

As he moved, a waiter immediately came in to report.

The goblin merchants who were still whispering to each other immediately fell silent.

The two two-headed ogre guards stood behind them meticulously.

Zong Shen walked in with steady steps and went straight to the main seat.

The goblins were all in the guest seats on both sides.

After he sat down, the eight clones guarded him in a wing shape.

Howie stood in front of the left.

The four goblin merchants present were also good at observing people's expressions.

They have been here for a day.

They have already observed the size and population of the territory and estimated the financial potential here.

According to the standards of the goblins, the size here is close to that of a large city.

One thing that is not normal is that the trade in the city is extremely underdeveloped.

Although there are many commercial streets, they lack vitality.

There are no street vendors or baggage teams responsible for transporting horses and carriages on the streets.

This makes them confused.

Of course, they have also thought carefully about choosing to try to trade the hot potato here.

After seeing Zong Shen, the person in power here, they felt a hidden sense of oppression, which is the suppression of the life level.

It proves that Zong Shen himself is powerful and is not the kind of waste who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

The major cities and states in the current human kingdom are more or less "weak masters".

The controller is not equal to the strongest.

Even many city-level controllers have not reached the epic level of combat power.

It was not like this back then.

The ancestors of those nobles, including the royal family, were ruthless people.

The founding monarchs were basically the top strongmen on the continent.

Otherwise, they would not be able to control the situation at all.

Perhaps they have been comfortable for too long, or there are other reasons.

Today's rulers do not attach importance to the improvement of their own strength. They rely on their bloodline, low position, and the basic base consolidated for so many years.

As the managers of the Quenching Ingot Merchant Group, they are also well-informed.

But Zong Shen is definitely an exception.

If this pressure is released, it may easily subdue the two sixth-level ogre guards behind them.

So after Zong Shen took his seat, they also stood up sensibly.

"Greetings from the Quenching Ingot Merchant Group."

"We are the managers of the seventh branch."

"My name is Ariel Lanjin, this is Hal Iron Water, Conil Gambling Heart, Ask Iron Arm."

The one who spoke was a goblin in a dress and a red bow tie.

It introduced the other three managers to Zong Shen.

They bowed their heads to greet Zong Shen in the standard etiquette of the human kingdom.

This is an impeccable etiquette.

Zong Shen nodded slightly, which was a simple return.

"Welcome everyone."

"We welcome the Quenched Steel Ingot Merchants."

"I heard that you plan to trade with me?"

He got straight to the point and began to negotiate with the goblins as an individual.

This sentence actually emphasized that this territory is different from ordinary giant cities.

Let them not look at it with old thinking.

Several business group managers are smooth characters. They understood the subtext of his words with a roll of their eyes.

Immediately, their attitude towards Zong Shen became more respectful.

Ariel Lanjin, wearing a red bow tie, quickly replied.

"Yes, this is our list of tradable goods."

After it spoke, its companions handed it a scroll.

Ariel Lanjin held the scroll in both hands and first glanced at Zong Shen.

Soon, a clone came to it and took the scroll and unfolded it on the spot.

Pretending to check, Zong Shen actually saw the contents directly through his split mind.

There are hundreds of items that can be traded.

More than half of them are basic materials.

Then there are various magical mechanical products, such as some auxiliary mechas and equipment.

But the quantity is not large.

Things like goblin bombs and flamethrowers are gone.

It seems that magical weapons are really controlled items.

The clone pretended to check it, and then brought the scroll to him.

Zong Shen also unfolded it and frowned immediately.

He spread the scroll with one hand and let it hang in the air.

He asked back in a questioning tone.

"Is this your sincerity?"

He expressed his dissatisfaction.

If it was just a trade of regular materials, then he would have no need to talk to a goblin merchant group.

But normally, magical weapons are indeed sensitive materials.

Even if any merchant group has them, they will not put them on the table for trading.

Including Boswell, whom Zong Shen met before.

It also said that the batch of flamethrowers and explosives were the remaining goods after the transaction with a prince of Nord.

Although weapons would not appear in normal transactions, this meeting had long been out of the scope of normal trade.

If it were not for the secret weapons they mentioned, why would Zong Shen specially meet these goblins?

Hearing his words, Ariel Lanjin hurriedly explained.

"The goods we brought this time do not include those conventional weapons."

"But I think you will definitely be interested in the secret weapons."

After it finished speaking, it took out a piece of [Photo Crystal] and handed it over respectfully again.

Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and saw that this guy was deliberately teasing his appetite.

He had the idea of ​​playing hard to get.

If you meet a guy with a bad temper, I'm afraid he will get angry.

But as long as the other party is a little rational, doing this can indeed increase expectations again.

Zong Shen looked unhappy.

"I don't want this kind of trick to happen again."

"You can just put forward your request boldly without any pretense."

His tone was calm, but it made Ariel Lankin and the other three goblin business leaders shiver.

They suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Feel sorry…"

"We promise there won't be another time."

The four people quickly bowed and expressed their opinions.

Hearing this, Zong Shen relaxed his brows.

He controlled the clone to take over the [Image Crystal] and immediately chose to play it.

Countless light points constructed by magic appeared and then formed a picture.

The scene in the picture seems to be a large goblin workshop.

Because Zong Shen saw the underground trough that is often used for the assembly of large-scale magic machinery.

There are also hoisting workshops and various flatbed trucks.

Several heavy-duty magic energy cranes hoisted a huge object above the underground trough.

By comparing it with the busy goblins around it, it can be inferred that its height exceeds 60 meters.

Ordinary goblins are just dots around it.

There are also many ogre helpers carrying various parts.

The shape of the suspended object is very strange, it looks like several boxy seats.

There is a spherical hollow in the middle.

It looks very different from conventional magical mechanical creations.

"interesting."

Zong Shen looked away from the crystal projection.

Pictures of the busy workshop are still being played above.

In fact, the shooting angle of this scene looks sneaky and not an aboveboard shooting.

Then the intentions of these guys from the quenched steel ingot business group are worth questioning.

"Is this the secret weapon you're talking about?"

He stretched out a finger and pointed at the projected screen.

This question made Ariel Lankin, who was in charge of the conversation, nod hurriedly.

"Exactly!"

"This is the work of the Second Magic Machinery Manufacturing Factory of Hot Sand Group."

"It can use the magic field to gather dark magic power and produce a powerful dark magic ball."

"Then let the dark magic ball bombard the designated location by throwing it."

"The power of each shot is equivalent to hundreds of seventh-level magic bombs detonated at the same time."

"But it consumes a lot of energy, and it takes a long time to gather dark magic power..."

Ariel Blue Gold lowered his head and introduced.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zong Shen.

"Wait, I don't want to hear this stuff just yet."

"You said it is from the second manufacturing plant of Magic Energy Machinery of Hotsand Group."

"I think your quenched steel ingot business group shouldn't represent the Hot Sand Group, right?"

One of the two major forces within the Goblins of the Hot Sand Group.

Its nature is equivalent to the human kingdom.

It's just that the organizational structure is group-style.

Many goblin business groups will be named as the Steamwheedle Group, but in fact they have no affiliation.

It's just that Hotsand Group controls many related industries and upstream and downstream resources, so countless goblins must cooperate with it.

This is an industrial hegemony.

The Steamwheedle Corporation can represent any goblin trade group.

But the reverse doesn't make sense.

At least the quenching steel ingot business group is definitely not a business group directly affiliated with Hot Sand Group.

His question was quite sharp, and it directly disrupted the rhythm of Ariel Lankin's conversation.

The rhetoric that made it somewhat prepared was of no use.
