Chapter 79 Thunder God Chamber of Commerce (Part 1)
Zi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his good brother, "Maybe you are right. God has given the orcs a strong body and natural combat power, but it is impossible for them to give us advanced wisdom. Perhaps, we would be content in the extreme northern wilderness. It is the best way for the orcs to exist. If we lead the orcs out of the extreme northern wilderness, I am afraid it will bring destruction to the orcs. I have to think carefully about how to help the orcs develop better."
Ye Yinzhu said: "By the way, what did you ask me to come out to find?"
Zi Dao: "Find something to hide our identities. Since we are going to pretend to be human business travelers out of the city, we have to look like businessmen. By the way, I will also show you the situation in the largest orc city."
The two of them had walked from the alley to the main road during the conversation. Different from the bustle of human cities at night, the streets of Quake Fortress seemed very empty. There were few people on the streets, and there were no orcs walking around at all. It felt a bit dead.
"Isn't it strange why there are so few people on the street?" Zi said.
Ye Yinzhu nodded, "Now that the genius has just darkened, it is the busiest time in Milan."
Zi Dao: "Thunder's Hammer Fortress, I don't know how many wars it has fought with humans. Whenever a war comes, a curfew will be implemented in the fortress. Over time, it will be like the period when there is no curfew now, and the orcs who come out to operate at night are also very Less. What’s more, few orcs outside of the military have enough to eat.”
"Ah, how could this happen?" Ye Yinzhu was a little dazed. He never imagined that the orcs, who had a powerful Behemoth army and could go to war with three countries at the same time, including the first empire Milan, would be in such a situation. . It is such a nation where even eating is a problem, but the three northern countries have to spend a lot of military power every year to barely resist.
Zi sighed and said, "Do you know what in the human world is most popular in the Far North Wasteland?"
An idea flashed in Ye Yinzhu's mind, "Is it food?"
Zi nodded and said: "Yes, it's food. Food is very cheap in your human world, but in the orc world, it can be exchanged for the same weight of refined iron! In the past, wars between orcs and humans were not as frequent as they are now. They relied on various metal ores to exchange food with humans. But later, as humans gradually developed and relied on sophisticated weapons to cause us orcs to suffer losses many times, the orc leaders realized that giving more metal ores to humans would only It will lead to self-destruction. Therefore, the number of exchanges per year is reduced as much as possible. Although the loss of resources is reduced, there are fewer orcs who can survive. Although there are many various beasts and magical beasts in the extreme northern wasteland, they are not comparable to a large number of Compared with the orcs, they are still far behind. The offensive against humans every autumn is what the orcs have to do in order to survive. Otherwise, countless people will freeze to death and starve to death in winter."
Ye Yinzhu frowned and said: "Can't the orcs farm by themselves? Even if the environment in the extreme northern wilderness is harsh,
But the land is vast and abundant, and there will always be places suitable for growing plant food. Even if the yield is lower, it is still better than nothing. "
Zi Dao: "It's not that the rulers of the orcs didn't think of this in the past, but it was extremely difficult to actually operate it. The orcs are naturally warlike, but they can't compare with humans in other aspects. Coupled with the environmental conditions of the extreme northern wilderness, Poor, when food is actually grown, the yield is pitifully small, and it is not enough for the orcs who grow food. You humans are very cunning. Good farming techniques are the biggest secrets and are strictly kept secret from the orcs. Only in this way can you rely on low prices We orcs exchange their food for metal ores. This creates great conflicts, and most of the final outcomes between them can only be resolved through war."
Ye Yinzhu frowned slightly, "There will always be a way to solve it. Zi, if one day you become the ruler of the orcs, will you be like the orcs now?"
Zi took a deep look at Ye Yinzhu and said: "Frankly speaking, I don't know. If there really comes a day, for the survival of many of my people, in desperation, I may also lead an army of orcs to think of human beings." Launch an attack.”
Ye Yinzhu smiled bitterly and said: "If that is true, it will definitely be the biggest disaster in the human world. The orcs are unified. The influence of Amethyst Behemoth on the entire orc clan and your wisdom alone are not what the current orc rulers can do. In comparison."
Zi shook his head and said: "Yinzhu, don't forget that after tens of millions of years of development, you humans are no longer as weak as my ancestors were in the period. If I really lead the orc army to invade the human country, I'm afraid the first The only one who will show up to stop me is you."
Ye Yinzhu smiled, "We are brothers, but I am also a human being."
Their eyes collided in the air like sharp knives, igniting sparks. Ziye smiled, "But this day will never come. Even if I don't become the king of the orcs, I will never fight with you. You are right, there will always be a solution to things, why must there be a war? What's more? What's more, Falan Seven Towers will not sit back and watch the orcs invade the human world. That's why I just said that if the orcs really come out of the extreme northern wilderness one day, it will probably bring destruction. "
Ye Yinzhu shook his head helplessly, "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's very complicated when I think about it. Lord Zi Di, where are we going now?"
Hearing Yinzhu call himself the Purple Emperor, Zi couldn't help but smile and said: "Go to the chamber of commerce that you humans have here. We're going to get a few chamber of commerce logos. There won't be any problems when we leave the city tomorrow."
"Chamber of Commerce? Do humans also have chambers of commerce in the orcs' fortresses? But didn't you just say that the orcs tried their best to suppress the loss of resources, why would you still allow the chamber of commerce to appear?" Ye Yinzhu asked curiously.
Zi Dao: "Trying to suppress it does not mean that there is nothing. Just like you humans need some things that are only available in the orc country. The orcs also need some things that are only available in the human country. The exchange of goods is beneficial to both parties, as long as it is not a large amount of resources. The rulers don’t care too much about transactions, because most of the transactions are conducted between the orc nobles and you human merchants. Moreover, some transactions are really beneficial to the orcs.”
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said: "I'm going to see that."
The two of them chatted about the current situation of the orcs while walking towards the west of the fortress. There were not many orcs on the streets. Occasionally, groups of patrolling orc soldiers would appear, and most of them turned out to be the three major orc royal families. Among them, the number of lions is the smallest.
After passing through the streets, feeling the pressure brought by the stone buildings on both sides, they finally arrived at their destination.
From a distance, Ye Yinzhu has seen a huge stone building appearing in front of him. The huge stone building is at least thirty meters high and has a cone shape. It looks extremely majestic. There are very few people on other streets, but here There are so many people. Among them are not only orcs, but also humans. Most of those orcs were accompanied by guards, and some even wore gorgeous human costumes. At first glance, they were nobles of the Thunder God tribe.
"Let's go. Let's go in." Zi lowered her voice and said. Er Er, you followed the other humans and quietly entered the chamber of commerce.
This huge stone building was not as chaotic as imagined. Instead, it was very orderly. As soon as Ye Yinzhu entered it, he was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of products around him. Most of them turned out to be human shops, no different from shops in human cities. It's just that most of the items sold are food and other things. Those human guys turned a blind eye to their compatriots walking in the chamber of commerce, but they were enthusiastic about the nobles who came here and constantly promoted their own goods.
Zi Chuanyin said to Ye Yinzhu: "This chamber of commerce was built by you humans. The orcs do not have such a good mechanism. This chamber of commerce in the Thor's Hammer Fortress is said to be the largest business alliance in the Milan Empire through several alliances with the Thor Tribe. It was built after negotiations. Those who sell things here are all people from this chamber of commerce alliance. These are just the most common goods outside. There are five parts here. The further inside, the more expensive the things sold. Orcs If you want to buy something from humans, you can use gold coins or silver coins, or you can exchange them for goods of equal value. For example, the furs, crystal cores or metal ores of Warcraft;"
Ye Yinzhu sent a message: "Then how can we get the Chamber of Commerce logo?"
Zi pointed at the chests of the shop assistants on both sides and whispered: "Have you seen the badges on their chests? As long as we get six badges, it will be enough. If we can't get them again, we will still use Chang Hao's tomorrow. Leave the invisibility barrier. But there is no magic element in the fortress. He has consumed a lot today and it is impossible to recover tomorrow."
Ye Yinzhu's heart moved, "Zi, why is there no magic element in Thor's Hammer Fortress?"
Zi Dao: "Don't you know? The reason why Thor's Hammer Fortress is called the number one fortress in the mainland is because it has the number one artifact in the mainland. This artifact is called Thor's Hammer and has been passed down to the Lion King. family, so they can always become the masters of the Thunder God Tribe.”
"Thunder's Hammer?" Ye Yinzhu's interest greatly increased, "How does this first artifact compare with my Deadwood Dragon's Qin?"
