Chapter 1,473 The Quenched Steel Ingot Merchant Group(1/3)
The territory’s reception area is designed to be large.
The size of the land is comparable to that of several giant city estates.
It is roughly divided into two areas: inner and outer.
It can receive caravans, apostolic groups and visitors of various sizes at the same time.
According to Howie, this goblin business group is quite large.
There are more than five hundred people, a large number of goblin airships, and a variety of magic mechas.
There is also a large team of ogres as bodyguards.
It is a tradition for goblins to hire ogre guards, and it has almost become an iconic configuration.
The original goblin merchant Boswell also had ogre guards.
The only difference between it and this business group is the number.
Of course, those smelly ogres are not qualified to enter the territory.
All were placed in the suburbs.
As for the airship, it is parked in the airship dock also located on the outside of the territory.
Only a few business group leaders were able to enter the reception area.
Even the accompanying guards can only take two.
They were two burly two-headed ogres, wearing a full set of fine gold armor. The runes on them were clear and looked quite sophisticated.
These two two-headed ogres have serious expressions, not as chaotic and casual as other ogres.
And there was no quarrel or quarrel between their two heads.
It shows that they all have self-control that is different from other tribesmen.
As high-level ogres with a height of more than five meters, the two formed a sharp contrast with the short but gorgeously dressed heads of the goblin business groups.
Perhaps this contrast itself is also a deterrent.
The shorter you are, the more you want to be taller.
This in itself reveals the inner desires and expectations of the goblins.
Zong Shen did not bring any bodyguards, only eight condensed clones followed behind him.
The auras of these clones are extremely restrained, and there is no sense of disobedience following them behind them.
After all, they share the same consciousness with Zong Shen and are equivalent to wingmen next to the main machine.
After receiving the notice from Zong Shen, Howie also hurried over on a leader-level manticore.
Air mounts are standard equipment for leaders in the territory.
All for efficiency.
In many cases, it is more convenient to ride in the air than to achieve a short-distance teleportation array.
After all, the teleportation array still needs to lay out nodes, and the aerial cavalry can be mounted at will.
The sound of the manticore's wings flapping can be heard from a distance.
Zong Shen deliberately waited at the door.
He saw with his own eyes the huge commander-level Manticore Tiger falling in front of him.
Howie, who was wearing a long gown, quickly turned over and bowed to Zong Shen.
Even the manticore-tailed tiger bent its knees 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 'children' have to trade."
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, not having much hope for this.
If there really was a secret weapon that could be useful to him, he would be willing to spare no expense.
However, just imagine, for Zong Shen, anything that can be said to be a "secret weapon" is at least at the level of rare objects and wonders.
No matter what kind, it is not something that this kind of business group can control.
Even if there were, it would not be possible for them to take the initiative to do door-to-door sales.
Such good things are either kept hidden or negotiated deals with those big forces.
It's impossible to be so hasty.
So far, Zong Shen has encountered only those [Eyes of the End] from the Bone Bunker that can truly be called secret weapons.
It is divided into 1099 parts, which are stored in baggage boxes.
The territory is in the process of assembling and restoring it.
It is expected to take one month.
Several parts are missing, and the workshop has to find a way to reproduce or make replacements.
According to Ironhand Barenque, the assembly work of the [Eye of the End] is quite complex. Not only do all the secret pattern circuits have to be corresponded to, some of them also require specific rituals.
The steps are very tedious. If I hadn't found a detailed assembly manual while collecting parts, and the strategy module provided information support, it would have been difficult to assemble it.
The devil's secret weapon is so troublesome.
One can imagine what thresholds the secret weapons of other forces have.
But now that the other party is here and actively asks to meet him.
Then Zong Shen wouldn't mind giving it a try.
Because he is also very interested in goblin technology.
Judging from the size of the other party's business group, if we talk about it, we might actually be able to 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 Lentax, there are still many vacancies.
If it can be supplemented through trade, it would be a good idea.
Zong Shen casually greeted Haoyi and walked into one of the reception halls.
The heads 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 away.
As he moved forward, a waiter immediately came in to announce.
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 calmly and went straight to the main seat.
The goblins were in the guest seats on both sides.
After he took his seat, eight clones guarded him in the shape of wings.
Howie is standing in the front left.
The four goblin merchants present are also good at observing people's emotions.
They have been here for a day.
We have already observed the size and population of the territory and estimated its financial potential.
According to the standards of the goblins, the size of this place is close to that of a large giant city.
One thing that is unusual is that the commerce and trade in the city is extremely underdeveloped.
Although there are many shopping streets, they all lack vitality.
There are no hawkers selling goods along the street and no baggage teams responsible for carriage and horse transportation.
This confuses them.
Of course, they had carefully considered their decision to try to trade that hot potato here.
After meeting Zong Shen, the person in power here, they felt a vague sense of oppression, which was suppression at the life level.
To be continued...
