Chapter 369 Bringing a Werewolf on a Street Blind Date
Seeing that the Earl had lowered his posture to get something tough, Ji Ming had no choice but to nod.
"Okay, since you want to get down to business, I can give you some pointers."
"If you want a gun, one or two, I think there should be many people in the pioneers willing to sell it to you, as long as you are willing to pay, maybe they can give you a few boxes of bullets to make a good relationship."
"But if you want dozens or hundreds of guns, or even enough to arm all your soldiers and raise a full-strength musketeer team... Sorry, I can only say that it is difficult, almost impossible."
Earl Fengying widened his eyes when he heard this.
"Why!?"
Then he suddenly realized that yes, one or two of these things don't matter, but if they are gathered together and become a trend, people are afraid that they will take the goods and rob them.
Just like those so-called wizard alliances and spellcaster guilds, individual customers can take the goods at will, and big orders want to check your ancestors for the background of eighteen generations.
And...
"Wait a minute, what you just said is... difficult? It's not impossible! Right?"
"Yes!"
Ji Ming clapped his hands.
"Although I can't help you connect with them directly, I can show you a clear way, a clear way that they will definitely be willing to cooperate with you!"
Although there are many insects in the southern nobles, the two leaders, Duke Jueqiao and Earl Fengying, are not bad at all, and are the ones that players will choose to cooperate with.
But as a family of military honors, the top nobles who have been operating in Jueqiao Pass for more than 500 years, at least now, the players are definitely not equal in status to Duke Jueqiao.
So the cooperation between the two parties is more like business, and the areas that can be developed are also quite limited. Whether it works or not basically depends on the Duke's mood.
Even so, the Duke's fingers are leaking enough to support several large player guilds.
Moreover, having the friendship of the Jueqiao family can also prevent the group of insect nobles from getting angry and trying to counterattack.
——The big daddy didn't say anything, so why are you little Karamis so anxious?
But the relationship between the two sides is too distant after all, and many important matters cannot be carried out at all, such as the planned "Second Industrial Zone".
Then, the existence of Earl Fengying is just right.
He needs new weapons from the pioneers, and may need to hire pioneers to train his army for him in the future, or even directly serve as mercenaries.
And the players also need to have a foothold of sufficient weight on the edge of the south, so as to make full preparations for the subsequent march into the central part of the kingdom, which is a real two-way rush.
So the way Ji Ming pointed out to Earl Fengying was to let him pack up quickly and see if there are any tasks that can be dispatched in his territory.
Plant a phoenix tree to attract the phoenix. As long as he can explode enough gold coins here, the number of players will definitely not be small. At that time, are you still worried that you can't buy what you want?
Whether it is contacting major guilds to purchase in small quantities or to reach strategic cooperation with those top guilds, it is a way.
"So that's it, the so-called pioneers are really just a general name. They also have several factions among themselves, just like us nobles?"
"Of course, this is a huge group of hundreds of thousands of people. How could all the drums sit on the same stool?"
"Hey, your metaphor is good, so vivid..."
The count pondered for a moment.
"So which drum do you think is more suitable for me?"
? ? ?
The next morning, Ji Ming, with everyone's reluctant farewell, did not even take a horse and set out on the road to the central part of the kingdom alone.
"Don't worry, I will always pay attention to the news from you, and try to meet outside the capital when the time comes!"
Although the words were very heroic, after walking a distance along the gradually descending mountain, Ji Ming, who was sure that no one was paying attention to him, disappeared into the jungle in a flash.
But there weren't many places for him to fish in the wild mountains, so he kept walking forward along a stream, as if he was looking for something.
As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest, so after he groped his way to an open space in the forest, he saw a huge demon wolf lying on a stone.
This sense of déjà vu reminded Ji Ming of the experience when he mustered up the courage to start his first adventure in life, but he successfully followed the Iron Chain Team and was besieged by wolves, and almost wiped out.
Well, it's really a classic old show, even the people are the same...
So Ji Ming quietly touched the mouth of the big demon wolf, took out a bottle of poison gas, and prepared to let her reminisce the love from the doctor.
But he obviously underestimated the psychological shadow of that incident on Chloe. Before the bottle was unscrewed, she suddenly woke up with a scream, covering her head with her paws and begging for mercy like a cat meme.
"No, no, no! No! Don't go on!"

Seeing this, Chloe hesitated and put down her claws, saying angrily.
"Uh, I... I had a nightmare, it was so scary, really!"
As another eyewitness, Ji Ming could probably guess what her nightmare would be like.
So he quickly changed the subject and kept his voice steady.
"Okay, it's good that you woke up, then let's go."
It is said that he wants to travel alone, but Ji Ming, a savior of the world, can't really rely on his own legs to measure the land of the kingdom.
And the flying with divine power is simple and convenient, but the lightning and thunder along the way... it's better not to add fuel to the already extremely tense situation in the southern border.
So Ji Ming thought about it and decided to learn wisdom from the Khan who formed the Iron Bow Wolf Riders and live a low-carbon and environmentally friendly green travel life.
——Little werewolf, it's decided to be you!
To be honest, since she became the so-called Speaker of the Soul Council because she surrendered and was considered to have some merits of following the dragon at the earliest, and her strength was the weakest and would not be guarded by everyone, this period of time has definitely been the highlight of Chloe's life.
Although everyone in the parliament does not take this weak and cowardly little werewolf seriously, she is still the Speaker after all, and is the only one among these surrendered people who has the right to report to the emperor.
Therefore, at least on the surface, the weird giants who were worried about being reported had to give her some respect, at least to maintain the most basic relationship between superiors and subordinates.
For example, if they made too much potion, they would give her a bottle, and when they finished lunch, they would call her... When they met on weekdays, they would seriously call her Speaker, not throwing her face on the ground.
Chloe, who had already lowered her personal career goal to [Watchdog] because she couldn't integrate into the circle, suddenly enjoyed the pleasure of chatting and laughing with all kinds of big guys.
As a result, before she had time to enjoy it for a few days, she received a notice from Ji Ming [Quickly come to Fengying Territory, there is an important task for you].
If you are a member of the game production team, you will feel that the producer does have an important task to give to you.
If you are a member of the Soul Council, you will feel that your hard work has finally been favored by the leader, and there may be hope that you can be promoted and rest assured.
But in any case, it's good, and they won't, and there is no need to trick you to such a far place to kill you, so it will definitely be a good thing.
Only Chloe, staring at the light screen in front of her, shook her big greasy nose in the form of a demon wolf, and smelled a bit of ominous premonition.
Facts have proved that her judgment is correct. The Lord God asked her to run so far, and she actually needed a... in the words of the players... a taxi?
Ji Ming: Can't I?
Chloe: I think this is an insult to me! I will never agree!
"Run steadily, there is still someone on your back now."
"Oh, okay, okay..."
Finally got on the taxi, but Ji Ming did not rush to the central plains where he should go, but turned 180 degrees and returned to the southern hills.
Of course, since they are going to ride on the wolf now, they must not take the main road, otherwise it is easy to scare the passing passengers to death, so they are moving in the mountains and forests all the way.
Fortunately, Chloe, who has innocent eyes but no animal friends, has lived in the mountains since she was a child, and her ability to shuttle in complex terrain is very good, so they soon arrived at the end of this trip.
This is a small noble territory called "Wheat Fragrance", which is separated from Fengying Territory by three territories. It is ruled by a family that was awarded the title of Baron by the Knight for its outstanding military exploits in the southern border a hundred years ago.
As the name suggests, this is a rare plain basin in the entire hilly area. Although it is not commercial due to the obstruction of high mountains, it is a rare granary under the nourishment of many waterways.
Therefore, standing on the cliff, looking at the green fields in the farmland that are growing and producing ears, stretching all the way to the horizon, Chloe lay on a stone again.
"Lord God, there are no trees ahead to serve as cover, let's stop here."
"Well."
Sliding down from Chloe's back, Ji Ming moved his limbs that were about to be shaken apart.
"Then you wait here, I'll go down to deal with some things, and I guess I'll be back in a day or two..."
Looking at Chloe who was shrinking in place, with a face like "You treat me as a strong laborer, but you also want me to experience wilderness survival?"
"Well, you can turn into a human, right? I'll take you with me."
So on a spring afternoon, a man in black with a werewolf follower came to the main city of Maixiang Territory.
The old guard guarding the city yawned and looked up.
"Wow, why is there a werewolf following him?"
Ji Ming handed over his forged identity on the road and stuffed twenty copper coins into it.
"Haha, brother, I travel around to sell potions, aren't I afraid of being robbed? Come on, Ah Hui, come and say hello to the old gentleman."
Chloe, who is tall and strong, and walks upright like a normal-sized demon wolf: "Hey! Hello!"
The old guy was frightened and shrank back, but he didn't dare to say anything. Instead, he wrote the customs documents faster.
Damn, he has his own high-level bodyguard and can easily get a two-digit tip. He must be a rich man. Don't mess with him...
Although the business is not very developed, Maixiang City, which has grain as its core competitiveness, is still prosperous. There are many merchants who want to order grain in advance among the pedestrians.
Therefore, even if the product categories are a bit monotonous, the baron can still earn a good amount of commercial taxes throughout the year.
When Chloe surrendered, she boasted a lot, but Ji Ming couldn't even tell whether it was male or female. Her beauty that could stop children from crying at night was finally confirmed.
After witnessing the 100% whistle participation rate of werewolves in the past, and their brave behavior of coming to chat up despite the risk of being beaten to death, Ji Ming pulled a piece of black cloth.
"Cover your face, I'm not here to take you on a street blind date."
Chloe: QWQ
He stared at the system map for a long time and finally stopped at the door of a hotel.
Walking in, there was a fat old man sitting behind the counter, drowsy in the midday sun.
"Hey, are you here to eat or stay...!!!"
Following the old man's frightened eyes and looking at the masked bad wolf behind him, Ji Ming quickly pulled off the black cloth on Chloe's face before he screamed.
"Sorry, my little brother is too ugly, so I covered it up for fear of scaring you."
"Oh oh."
The old man's blood pressure, which had flushed red, dropped again, and he stuffed something back into the compartment at hand.
"Then may I ask who you are..."
Ji Ming did not answer, but lowered his voice.
"Two jars of good wine, two pounds of braised beef, a plate of peanuts, and a fat chicken."
Such a strange way of ordering dishes did not make the fat old man look embarrassed, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"The braised beef is gone, but there are still three pig trotters."
Hearing this, Ji Ming also matched this last secret code.
"The trotters must be stewed until soft and paired with two bowls of rice."
The fat old man's expression suddenly relaxed, and he took out a key and handed it to Ji Ming.
"Go, it's on the third floor."
When Ji Ming followed the name tag on the key to the corresponding room, he knocked on the door and found an old acquaintance inside.
"Wai Shu? You came quite quickly, I thought I had to wait until the evening."
"I recently investigated something interesting, and I must inform you as soon as possible, brother Tiaozi."
Since the man standing in front of the window is [Da Mo Cang Lang], then this hotel is the newly developed contact point of Yangyue Affairs Bureau.
In fact, it is not just the hotel. After several days of negotiation and arguing, the Bureau has successfully reached a cooperative relationship with Baron Maixiang.
As for the reason...
"Obviously, there is not much difference between the local wheat and our world. It can be regarded as the same species."
"Yes, but the quality of seedlings is extremely poor. There are almost no individuals that can resist diseases and lodging. Even if we can ask a wizard to cast a spell to solve the problem, the loss in one year is definitely not small."
"So these are the research topics of our working group in the next year, but before that, we have to find a wizard who is good at plant magic and can promote the growth of crops..."
After listening to the intense group meeting in the next room, Ji Ming could only sigh at the terrible talent of farming.
