Chapter 1477 Shareholders, Gugat's Transformation

Half an hour later.

Zong Shen, who returned to his seat, held his cheek and listened patiently.

After Ariel Lanjin stopped talking, he also figured out the cause and effect.

The boss behind it is indeed a shareholder of Hotsand Group.

In the Endless Continent, Hotsand Group is a quite famous neutral organization.

It plays an extremely important role in the mainland's economy and magic energy industry.

The group is known for its power and wealth in magic technology.

An important stronghold is located in Booty Bay.

It is a free trade port and a place where many pirates, merchants, adventurers and various foreign races gather.

Because it provides a relatively safe environment.

Its business scope is wide, and in addition to the most talked about magic industry, it also includes smuggling, treasure hunting and maritime trade.

In Booty Bay, in addition to the Steaming Sands Group, there are also the Steaming Sands Conservation Association, the Blackwater Pirates, and various expedition and archaeological teams.

Many of the goblin rich people who are active there include spies and intelligence dealers.

Added double buffs from the Neutral Zone and the Trade Port

The Blackwater Pirates are actually part of the Steamwheedle Group and are the most powerful violent organization in Booty Bay.

The main area of ​​activity of the boss behind Ariel Blue Gold is not in Booty Bay.

In terms of power, it is weaker than other more powerful shareholders and wealthy owners.

But it is not the only one who is preparing to launch an attack this time, but other shareholders are also involved.

The purpose is to compete for the ownership of Booty Bay.

After all, that is the core stronghold of the Hot Sand Group.

It is also an important trading port.

As luck would have it, it happens to be in the east.

In terms of sea area, it is right in the buffer zone between Nord and the Kingdom of Avalon.

It is said that there are a large number of ancient ruins remaining in the surrounding area.

This has also led to the extremely prosperous exploration and archeology industry in Booty Bay.

Many archaeologists who are keen to unearth the remains of ancient civilizations gather here.

Therefore, this dispute within the Hot Sand Group is essentially a break in the board of directors.

Shareholders, large and small, as well as wealthy individuals from all walks of life have re-formed small groups.

As for the forces of the Hotsand Group that occupies Booty Bay, they can be called the core faction.

They are the backbone of Hotsand Group, and because of this, other shareholders will covet them.

All in all, think of Hotsand Group as a small kingdom.

It is easy to understand if the major shareholders and wealthy people involved are regarded as aristocratic forces, while the core faction is the royal family.

Therefore, Zong Shen became very interested.

This is true whether it is Booty Bay or the magic technology in the hands of Hotsand Group.

They are all valuable assets in troubled times.

When talking about why he came to Zong Shen, Ariel Lanjin also looked embarrassed.

Facts proved Zong Shen's guess.

This group of goblins came to the door because they were sick and rushed to seek medical treatment.

An offensive against Booty Bay is being planned.

All shareholders are gathering strength.

Not only to defeat it, but also to have more say when reshuffling the cards.

"So can you make the decision?"

Zong Shen then asked the question that was more concerning to him.

If Ariel Blue Gold can't make the decision, then talking now is just a waste of time.

"sure."

It quickly replied and took out a contract.

"This is a soul oath contract. Once it is signed, it cannot be broken."

"Otherwise you will suffer the pain of your soul."

"My boss will be here in person in a month."

"Of course, everything is based on your agreement to the transaction."

Ariel Blue Gold finally regained some composure after the showdown.

In fact, many times, if you negotiate in secret, you will easily end up at a disadvantage.

"Okay, let your boss talk about it."

"I have the intention in this regard, but I also have some concerns."

"After all, the core components are missing. Even if you get the 'Dark Walker', it will be a waste."

He told the truth.

Seeing that Ariel Lanjin was hesitant to speak, Zong Shen took the initiative to wave his hand.

"Don't worry, what you see is just the surface."

"My territory has guard-level strong men and dozens of legendary strong men."

After that, he pointed to the window of the living room, indicating that it could turn around and take a look.

Ariel Lanjin followed the instructions, and when he and several fellow merchant group managers turned their heads, they were stunned in place.

Outside the window, Xue Bing's huge eyes glowed with a cold blue light.

When the eyeball slowly moved away, the scene outside was finally revealed.

The blue dragon flew past with a roar.

And at some point, a group of legendary powerhouses also walked in outside the living room.

Including the inherited ones: Colby, Feronas the Sinner, Beastmaster Rexxar, Jeanne d'Arc, and others. They actively unleashed their aura, making people feel completely oppressive.

Zong Shen showed off his muscles nakedly.

Whether it is an upper-class goblin or a lower-class goblin.

All goblins are bullies at heart.

Showing strength when necessary can quickly gain the initiative.

This situation made Ariel Lanjin couldn't help but swallow a gulp of saliva.

Originally, it didn't plan to ask the boss easily.

But now it has changed its mind.

Zong Shen's exposed fist was hard enough, and worthy of the boss personally trying to win him over.

So Ariel Lanjin hurriedly withdrew his gaze, looked at Zong Shen solemnly and bowed.

"Don't worry, I will notify the boss immediately."

"One month... no, it will come and meet you in person in 20 days at most."

"Then please allow me to take my leave."

It asked hesitantly.

Zong Shen smiled and nodded, but did not make things difficult for them.

The four goblins were granted amnesty and left with the two ogre guards behind them.

Zong Shen watched them leave, his eyes gradually returning to calmness.

"Dark Walker, if we can get it, we will have another important weapon."

he muttered.

Just now Zong Shen had checked the relevant information.

The [Dark Walker] who uses dark magic to attack does have strong war potential.

Each attack is equivalent to hundreds of level 7 magic energy bombs being detonated.

Zong Shen had used the sixth-level magic bomb and was already very satisfied with its power.

Seventh-level magic bombs, let alone hundreds of them, are powerful enough to pose a serious threat to most clustered enemies.

In addition, its charging interval is actually not too long.

If you use the high-power magic bottle developed by Tie Shou, it will only take 4 to 5 minutes to complete a charge, but its effect is indeed not small.

Each charge consumes almost 300,000 points of mana.

Because the consumption of converting dark magic power is relatively large.

But no matter what, it is a weapon with war potential.

Zong Shen was convinced of this.

After a moment of silence, he stood up and left.

Summoned Lan Xiaodai, and hid Xuebing in the small dimensional world.

Then he brought the Beastmaster Rexxar as an extra.

Prepare to meet Archduke Jonathan again.

Since that guy woke up, he has been doing well.

Prince Carter meant little to him anymore.

It’s more of a family value.

If it hadn't been for the intervention of the lord system at that time, it would have been difficult for both parties to reach a consensus.

After getting ready, Zong Shen was about to ride the Dark Nightmare of Hell to the Archduke Jonathan's camp outside the giant city of Lentax.

Suddenly a loud roar came from the territory.

This long roar still echoed clearly even at a distance of more than ten kilometers.

Zong Shen turned his head and saw a black light shining directly into the sky in the manor not far from the core circle.

After checking, it was found that that was Gurgat's residence.

He stopped and had a guess in his mind.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the black beam disappeared without a trace.

Instead, a huge shadow appeared in the sky.

It was a huge figure holding a halberd and wearing a full set of armor.

His whole body was shrouded in darkness.

This light and shadow disappeared in a flash and did not appear in the sky for long.

Zong Shen knew that this was the successful fusion of Blood Wolf and Gujiat [Blood of Ancient Guards].

It should have transformed now, possessing the power of the ancient guard.

But the specific strength is unknown.

After looking at the time, he simply left in no hurry.

Standing there and waiting for a moment, the [Communication Crystal] on his chest lit up.

It was Gugat who sent the communication.

"Sir, I succeeded..."

Its voice became firmer and stronger.

As powerful as an eternal granite stone.

"Come see me."

Zong Shen's answer is simple.

He was very curious about how much change that drop of [Blood of Ancient Guards] could bring to Gurgat.

My heart moved slightly, and its memory information appeared in my mind.

[Blood of Ancient Guards (Special)]

[Quality: Special]

[The powerful blood of the ancient guards contains a hint of understanding of the laws of defense]

[Integrating the blood of this ancient guard will enable you to change your job to a special profession - the ancient guard]

[Special profession: Ancient Guard (masters certain defense rules, good at defensive counterattacks and protecting specific targets). After successful job transfer, the basic strength attribute's determination multiplier is 10.0, the basic health value's determination multiplier is 30.0, and has 25 % passive damage reduction for all types, and comes with multiple career-related skills and talents)]

[If you want to successfully change jobs, you must ensure that the blood fusion person has a high enough degree of compatibility. Failure of the fusion will cause the blood of the guard to disappear, and the fusion person will also die]

[Note: Fit has nothing to do with individual strength]

…

As a blood item with the ability to change jobs.

Its effect is still very powerful.

Focus on the characteristics of successful job transfer.

Various percentage damage reductions, as well as higher multiples of attribute gains, mean that Gurgat's changes are definitely not that small.

What's more, it even takes care of the accompanying professional skills.

The only threshold is that the basic fit is too low.

If you don't succeed, you will die, and your blood will disappear with it.

But as long as you succeed, you can switch to a powerful limited-level profession.

Gugat's fighting skills have always been good.

What limits it are attributes that have been slow to improve in recent times.

After changing jobs, its attributes are no longer an issue.

This will allow Gugat to rediscover his position and return to the T1 sequence.

Zong Shen is also looking forward to this.

This means that there will be one more powerful fighter in the territory.

As disputes escalate, territories will always have a need for high-level combat power.

After Guget's transformation, whether it is a low-level demigod or a legend, it can lead to a wave of territory strength improvement.

Zong Shen can free up more manpower to launch a larger-scale offensive.

If the high-level combat power is used properly, it can even be considered to annex multiple giant cities at the same time.

This makes him willing to change his schedule temporarily and wait for Guget for a while.

On the contrary, Grand Duke Jonathan invited a dinner.

The transaction is guaranteed by the contract of the lord system, which is the least worrying one.

After a short silence, he rode Hamis to the lord's fortress.

The rest of his men waited in place and were ready to set off at any time.

While waiting, he inquired about more information about the Hot Sand Group.

Prepare for future actions.

The water inside the Hot Sand Group is not as deep as he imagined.

It's simply the uneven distribution of benefits that eventually led to the disintegration of many shareholders and rich people.

In addition, there are some trivial matters, but they are all suppressed by the lord system like the contradictions within the kingdom.

So this wave of outbreaks is also expected.

In comparison, the Rustwater Cartel located inland is more stable.

They stay in Thousand Needles and also adopt a hierarchical and profit-oriented management model.

They are mainly composed of multiple goblin families and business groups.

They are scheming internally, but they pursue the maximization of commercial value with the same concept externally.

Coupled with the regional influence, this prevents the contradictions within the Rustwater Cartel from erupting immediately.

However, if Zong Shen takes action against the goblin forces, the best choice is the Steam Sands Group.

Booty Bay is also a place he must get.

It is a natural harbor and backed by ancient ruins.

It can be said that it has great potential.

And the technical reserves of the Steam Sands Group are also not bad.

In the short term, it is really the best choice to take action against it.

Zong Shen thought seriously in his heart.

In the Endless Continent, everyone despises goblins.

But no one can ignore the goblins' attainments in magic technology.

If the power of the Steam Sands Group can be successfully integrated, even if it is only a part of it, it will be enough to benefit infinitely.

As a force that can produce giant magic weapons.

Regardless of the cost and skill difficulty, at least this technical background is enough to attract the attention of all parties.

The current development of the magic workshop in the territory is quite good.

But that's all.

The actual technical background is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary giant city.

It is a dimensionality reduction attack among the lords.

But compared with the indigenous forces, it is not good enough.

Zong Shen knows the true level of the territory very well and understands the real gap.

Although he accepted the resources of the giant city of Luntax, Luntax is not a workshop city after all.

It is just an ordinary medium-sized giant city.

There are many cities in the continent that are famous for workshop manufacturing.

This type of city is a workshop city.

They have a deeper foundation.

In terms of technology alone, they are far ahead of other giant cities.

Zong Shen's goal is to improve the level of the territory workshop as soon as possible.
