Chapter 26 Fairy Caravan 2
The big goblin guard was the first to greet him and said enthusiastically, "Oh! Dear merchant brother! You are here at last! Our little goblins have been waiting anxiously!"
The traveling goblins wear silver robes embroidered with gold coins and doves of peace. The gold coins symbolize trade and the doves of peace symbolize neutrality, which means that their caravan is a regular caravan protected by the goddess of wealth and the goddess of peace.
Neither players nor NPCs can attack at will, otherwise they will be wanted by both churches.
He struggled to get off his horse, carrying a green canvas backpack that was bigger than he was.
The backpack was too heavy and sank directly to the ground. The traveling goblin lay on the backpack and danced around like an overturned turtle.
Two level 1, stage 4 giant goblins nearby quickly ran over, put him on the ground and took the backpack off him.
There was a tinkling sound coming from inside the backpack. Qi Ge's ears moved, and he keenly realized that the backpack was full of gold coins.
This shows that this goblin caravan has no heroes!
Whether players or NPC heroes, they can store gold coins and resources in the void backpack given by the Goddess Yasha, and they will not carry them on their backs like this.
There are no heroes but there is the Yasha Fire? Qi Ge is becoming more and more curious about this caravan.
The goblin merchant who had finally turned over dusted off his body and said to the big goblin guard beside Qi Ge: "Oh! Dear guard brother! I have come very quickly! You have no idea how disgusting those human mages in the tower are! I have clearly paid the toll but they still insisted on checking my caravan!"
"How could I let them investigate this? It was useless even after they talked us dry. In the end, they stuffed us with 2,000 gold coins before they let us out."
The big goblin guard pulled Qi Ge's clothes and said to the goblin merchant: "Brother! Let me introduce you! This is our kind and benevolent hero Qi Ge! The owner of our goblin waterwheel!"
The goblin merchant shouted exaggeratedly: "Oh my God! You are the merciful Lord of Seven Pigeons!
I never dreamed that you would pay wages to the goblins at the waterwheel!
In the past, those damn heroes would simply rob the goblins of their hard work, without considering how hard the goblins worked to salvage the gold coins!
Some of the more extreme ones will even massacre us goblins!
Only you!
It has both the kindness of elves and the flexibility of humans!
Smart but not arrogant!
Honest but not pedantic! (Extended aria)
The half-elf Lord Qi Pigeon!
Paid wages to our fairy clan!
From today on, I declare that half-elves are our eternal friends of the goblins!"
????
So good at flattery? Qi Ge felt that he had met his match.
The half-elves are a neutral race that is neither loved by elves nor cared for by humans, and exist between humans and elves.
A large part of the tribe is engaged in mercenary work. They have no fixed ethnic gathering place and can only borrow the territories of humans and elves.
They have always longed to be recognized by the mainstream races in the Heroic Soul World.
Even though goblins have a low status among mainstream races, they are still part of the tower's power.
If the flattery of the traveling goblin just now was replaced by an NPC half-elf, then this wave would be a sure win!
Unfortunately, he met Qi Ge, and he didn't fall for it.
Not to mention that this traveling merchant elf who is not even a hero has no qualifications to declare that half-elves and goblins are friends. Even if it has the qualifications, what does it have to do with me, Qi Ge?
"I am Qi Ge, the temporary lord of Shui Che. I welcome your caravan to come to me and bring me prosperity and trade! The horn of the song of peace has been sounded over the territory. Let us have a mutually beneficial and win-win transaction!"
In this passage, Qi Ge used a total of three secret codes.
The welcome speech when the human lord meets the caravan, the slogan of the Church of Peace, and the opening words of internal transactions among the followers of the Goddess of Fortune.
Simply translated into:
Don't talk to me about half-elves. You are a neutral caravan and I won't attack you, but just do business properly and don't give me these nonsense words.
The fairy merchant was stunned for a moment, then became cautious and said calmly: "Please don't misunderstand, we come with candy. We are favored by the goddess of peace and fair by the goddess of wealth, but no matter what, you are a friend of our fairy tribe."
Candy represents friendship. During the New Year, every fairy in the fairy tribe will bring candy to visit other families to express their love and closeness to each other.
Translate the words of the merchant goblin:
We are here to do business, I'm sorry if it offends you. We are a caravan approved by the goddess of peace and wealth, the goods are genuine, and we are honest! But you are a good person, we can give you a discount!
The codes all matched! Qi Ge looked at the Goblin Merchant with great satisfaction.
It turns out that this is not a simple caravan. We can learn more about it.
He said happily, "Oh! That depends on whether you brought citrus flavored candy or peach flavored candy! Of course, my favorite is the ice watermelon flavor. Well, I also like the flame chocolate flavor."
Citrus-flavored candies are the specialty of the fairies in the Falling Moon Tower, peach-flavored candies are the specialty of the fairies in the City of Brilade, ice-field watermelon-flavored candies are the specialty of the fairies in the City of Everfrost, and flame chocolate-flavored candies are the specialty of the fairies in the City of Magma Tower.
The four cities are located at the southernmost, westernmost, northernmost and easternmost parts of the tower country Bracada.
This is not common sense that ordinary people can know, but secret knowledge that you can only know if the little goblin gives it to you personally.
You know, the goblins only give out candies at the New Year of the Leprechaun calendar!
This means that Qi Ge has been entertained by almost all the goblins in the tower.
If the goblin merchant was knowledgeable enough, he would know how familiar the Seven Pigeons are with the goblin race.
Sure enough, the goblin merchant's eyes lit up: "It seems that I was wrong. You are the best friend of the goblins! We have candies of any flavor you want! And all the goods in our caravan are 30% off for you! "
Qi Ge nodded with great satisfaction, shook hands with the fairy merchant enthusiastically, and chatted and laughed with him.
The big goblin guard looked at his lord and the goblin merchant leader who were sympathizing with each other. He didn't know what was going on. He just thought that his lord was really powerful and could deal with the cunning goblin merchant with just a few words.
You have to know that the traveling goblins and I are of the same race, and it took me a lot of effort to persuade them to give me a 10% discount.
“Master Qige, look at me. We have been talking for so long that I even forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ke Ruoke, and I am from Brilaid City.
The last time I passed by here, I had already sold all my goods and was about to go back to buy more. This time it’s different, I just came out of Brilliant City!"
The goblin merchant said with a smug look on his face.
Qi Ge was instantly interested: "Then you must have a lot of useful mechanical products? Can you let me see them?"
Brillaid City is the most famous machinery manufacturing city in Tower. Because Brillaid City is close to coal mines and forests, the wooden machinery has low cost and good quality!
"Of course! Guys! Hurry up and drive the carriage over here! Let our friends take the pick!"
The goblin merchant shouted loudly, and several giant goblins and a bunch of small goblins pulled three carriages over.
Three goblins that Qi Ge didn't recognize lifted the canvas of the carriage.
The three carriages were a miscellaneous heap of parts.
Qi Ge keenly noticed that there were several huge crossbow arrows on one of the carriages. The arrow shafts were as thick as an adult's arm, and the arrowheads were a one-time pressed square diamond with a long bleeding groove on them.
At the command of the traveling merchant goblin , a dozen engineering goblins came running over and after a burst of installation work, they quickly combined the parts of the three carriages into three war machines.
The goblin merchant proudly introduced:
"This is a crossbow cart! It can fire a huge crossbow arrow every round! It can not only cause high damage to the enemy, but also penetrate an entire straight line! With the help of the technology of Brilade City, the ammunition capacity has been increased from the original 12 crossbow arrows to 18! And the range is as long as 15!"
"The original price of this crossbow cart is 4,000 gold coins. With a 30% discount, it is only 2,800 gold coins, and 18 crossbow arrows are also included!"
This price is already very reasonable. Even if you buy it directly from the War Machinery Workshop in the city of Brilade , it will cost at most 2,500 gold coins per unit. You will also have to spend 10 gold coins per crossbow, so 18 arrows will cost 180 gold coins.
This means that the other party only has a profit of 120 gold coins. Considering the risks of traveling merchants and the cost of the portal, if it is not smuggled goods, the other party may even lose money.
"This is a healing tent. You must know its function, so I won't repeat it. The fabrics of this batch of healing tents are high-quality goods from Negan (Dungeon). They can restore an additional 80 health points per round."
"The original price is 3000 gold coins, but I'll only charge you 2100!"
"This is a supply vehicle, a special model with an expanded capacity that can hold a full 500 arrows!"
"The original price is 3500 gold coins, 30% off to 2450, plus 200 arrows for free, you can choose between a bow or a crossbow!"
Qi Ge looked at the goblin merchant deeply and said, "No wonder you refused to let the guards check the goods. These are all fucking contraband!"
Qi Ge looked at the canvas on the other carriages and the ruts on the road made by the carriages, and estimated the weight of the cargo.
Take a deep breath.
Wow, more than a dozen carriages are all war machines!
In the previous life, traveling goblins usually sold supplies such as crossbows, bows and arrows, food, and occasionally some alchemical treasures and resources.
Only the bravest goblins would mix contraband items such as war machines among the supplies.
You're so lucky, there are some supplies mixed in with the contraband!
Just like checking for drunk driving. When tested, there is not a drop of blood in the wine! Is this reasonable?
No matter whether it is reasonable or not, it would be a shame not to buy such a good opportunity.
The quality of the war machinery in the human main city is far worse than this, and you have to spend a lot of time to build up the city reputation before you can buy these war machinery!
Today, even if you chop off my Qi Ge’s hand, I will still buy it!
Qi Ge looked around and found that he only had 6,700 gold coins on him in total. This was because he got 4,500 gold coins by defeating the giant three-headed flamehound. Otherwise, he could only afford the cheapest medical tent.
Qi Ge was in a dilemma as to what to buy .
