Chapter 139 One Eye (Closed)

Tangzhao's settlement now has a lot of skilled craftsmen, but there is a shortage of smelting equipment. Those heavy metallurgical equipment can't be made with a slap on the head. The dwarves have always been very generous to their own people. In fact, Dragon Blood Pass doesn't mind giving them a few sets of metallurgical equipment so that they have the ability to forge qualified weapons.

Strengthening the strength of allies in this way, arming those kobolds, and having one more ally who is not weak is already a great reward for the dwarves with a bad diplomatic environment. Anyway, kobolds are not resistant to high temperatures because of their physique. Basically, they are insulated from the metallurgical business, and it is their dwarves who hold the key in the end. They can accept a little equipment and part of the benefits.

Due to the war, those key equipment could not be in place, but Bourne and the others unearthed a lot of iron ingots from the abandoned dwarf fortress. With the current production of small workshops, it can be used for a while, at least to cope with hundreds of Heim Church. People order is no problem.

The two sides not only finalized several types of supply weapons, but also determined more ways of cooperation in the future - new weapons, armor, harness, siege equipment, warships. Tang Zhao is willing to make concessions on prices, and of course they also Want more and better stuff at a lower price.

In return, the Church of Heim promised to protect their right to "legitimate trade". Under the premise of not harming the residents here, reasonable and normal business practices will be supported by them. This is a highly liquid commercial city. With them as guarantees, as long as Tang orders them to pay taxes to the earl, the earl should not react too radically. He has enough wonderful groups under his rule, and he won't mind a few more businessmen.

Of course, Bock also warned Tang Zhao with a cold tone and a serious expression. All cooperation with them is based on the premise that they will not endanger the safety of the people. If there is any wrong idea, not only will all trade be suspended, but the Church of Heim will also put them on the threat list and take necessary corresponding measures against them.

After all, Tang Zhao and the others are foreigners who don’t know the basics, and the guarantee of the unicorn can only be reluctantly believed by the Church of Helm. It is normal for them to be on guard against Tang Zhao, so Tang Zhao is not angry, and accepts it with a smile, and solemnly accepts it. Actually swearing in the name of the dragon god, the ancestor and the god of Sivanus, Bok was also relieved to see Tang Zhao's sincere attitude.

Although they are short of money and need weapons and equipment, they also have a bottom line. Not only will they not do the business of seeking skin from tigers, but they will kill tigers and eliminate harm in turn.
-
With the guarantee of an official figure like the Haim Church, Andrea was much bolder in doing things.

Tang Zhao's cart of weapons was pulled back intact, he deliberately did not hide, those eyes and ears around the Haim Church could see clearly, this cart of weapons swaggered back to the warehouse prepared by Andrea.

The following things went very smoothly, and the matter quickly spread among certain circles. With the black and white contract with the Heim Church, Andrea directly approached the Cyclops Gang.

"The price is like this. The purchase price of Heim Church is [-]% higher. Firstly, their purchase volume is large, and secondly, they have protected the city for so many years. I personally have to respect them a little bit. Of course, I don't mean to disrespect you. There is always a lot of respect for clients.”

Under the cover of Brian's magic, everyone couldn't see Andrea's appearance clearly, and couldn't remember the characteristics of her voice. Of course, Andrea's purpose was not to hide herself, but to show her strength. This kind of magic But only fourth-tier magicians will use it, and it is a silent deterrent in itself.

The leader of the Cyclops Gang in front of him looks different from the middle-aged man before him. He dresses gorgeously, talks and behaves well, and looks like a successful businessman. The Cyclops Gang has its own stronghold in the chamber of commerce. Shipping and storage chambers of commerce, this sideline business is not bad, providing a lot of convenience for their secret main business.

"Ma'am, don't worry, if the weapons in your hands can really reach the level that even the Church of Helm is satisfied with, then we will definitely need them, and we will accept them as they are ordered. By the way, have you visited other chambers of commerce?"

The Church of Helm has very high requirements for weapons and equipment. Products that can pass their inspection must be excellent. This kind of weapons has always been a commodity that is in short supply. Whether it is used by gangs themselves or resold to forces that need it, they are profitable. The key Even such opportunities are not easy to find. If we can reach a long-term cooperation with the other party, the benefits will be limitless.

"I believe that your strength is enough to eat the inventory in my hand, and since I have some interest in your business, I chose the Cyclops Chamber of Commerce first. Now it seems that this choice is undoubtedly very wise. "

Andrea has been learning the "elegant language" of the nobles these days. She grew up in the market, and she usually speaks the so-called common language with many dialects and slang. Now she has learned a little wording, and the accent is short Time cannot be changed, but Klein's spell can be used to cover up the past.

Judging from the satisfied expression of the businessman, she probably didn't expose her trap, or even if she did, the other party didn't care much.

"You said you are interested in our business? I don't know which part it is. We will do our best to help you."

Andrea didn't ink any ink, and directly took out a demon scroll from her bosom.Get it in front of the merchant: "I need this thing, the more the better."

The merchant's smiling expression remained unchanged: "What is this? Magic scrolls? We can find many for you, but for a magician of your level, it may be useless to ask for those scrolls. The fifth-level magic scrolls are in the earl's treasury. Lidu has to be a top-notch baby, we can’t find it here.”

He is not an idiot. Andrea has just finished a deal with the Heim Church, and there is obviously a relationship between the two. She asked the Cyclops Gang for a demon scroll, and it is completely understandable that the Heim Church found something. Something, so Andrea was sent over to ask about the situation.

In Luford City, there are many big and small forces, but few of them can hire fourth-level mages, and the Church of Heim is one of them.It's fine for Andrea to negotiate business with them, but the devil scroll is a fatal thing. If they can make it clear, they don't have to go offline, and they can just use the power of the chamber of commerce to attract customers.

"Doing business with the Church of Heim does not mean that I am a member of the Church of Heim. They are all a group of dead-headed knights, but they will not let me do things with such obvious tricks. If you still don't believe me, just take a look at this Bar."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and a green creature came through the window. The businessman took a closer look, sweated suddenly, and cursed in his heart that this person was simply a lunatic.

It was a kwassaimo, about the size of a medium-sized dog, with wings, horns, sharp teeth, green skin covered with scales and sarcomas, standing like an ape, and having both insect and reptile features, very It has the appearance of a devil, and in fact it is indeed a devil, which is a kind that is more suitable as a magic pet.

Merchants are not afraid of the danger of this creature - even in Luford, contract demons are a felony as a familiar. Some radical or maverick mages will choose contract demons to serve themselves, but they will try to keep them as hidden as possible , Use abilities such as transformation and invisibility to cover up when you go out, because if you are caught, you will really die.

Now Andrea is like a lunatic. She doesn't cover up her demon pet at all, and appears in the stronghold of the Cyclops Gang. If those who are interested see it and report it to those special forces, Andrea may be able to Just run away, they can't escape because of the big business of the Cyclops family, but they can't stand the scrutiny, and the skin will peel off if they don't die. up.

"You seem to lack enough trust in me, should you trust me now?"

"I believe it, I believe it! Please! Please put your pet away!"

The businessman's legs trembled in fright, and he didn't care about the manners and etiquette anymore, he just asked Andrea to put the devil away quickly.

Now he really wants to believe that Andrea has nothing to do with the Church of Heim. Even children in Luford know that the Church of Heim has always regarded demons as their enemies, and they will never allow them, or their partners, to have anything to do with demons. Even a little relationship, even acting is impossible. Their vigilance against demons goes deep into their bones, and they were discovered by the Church of Helm, and Andrea herself was going to be hunted down by the Church of Helm.

Fortunately, Andrea wasn't messing around. She whistled lightly, and the Quassemo turned into a bat on the spot, and flew away from the window again without a trace.

"Well, let's proceed to the next step of the discussion. I need demon scrolls. The more the better, in order to express my sincerity, those weapons can be used as a deposit first, and the specific price can be negotiated later. I am not short of money, so the price is not a problem , it would be best for me to talk to your boss face to face, this kind of thing is not up to you, and I understand."

The businessman also wanted to refuse, but he didn't have the guts—he dared to say no now, and Andrea dared to let the devil stop on the roof of the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters. He himself must die, he can only choose to inform Andrea.

The Quassymo turned into a bat and flew straight back to the small building where Andrea temporarily lived, but before it even landed, a huge tail slapped at it, and the Quassymoo didn't even have a chance to react. It was directly photographed as a bat cake.

After finishing all this, Tang Zhao let out a sigh of relief and stared at the other party's corpse for a few seconds. In the end, he didn't choose to speak. He directly took the corpse in his mouth and threw it into the fireplace for burning. The last bit of evidence was also burned.

Quasai is actually a kind of familiar that is very easy to summon. In theory, a second-level spellcaster can summon one to serve him. It has a high IQ and the ability to be invisible and deformed, and it is handy for many tasks. , so this kind of demon is even one of the commonly used magic pets in a few countries where mages are in power.

Second-level spellcasters will be mentally affected by such low-level demons. As long as there are no special circumstances, mages above the fourth level can generally turn a blind eye to this pollution and corrosion. A mage will always see and even create many strange things in his life. thing.

As a fourth-order mage who has lived for many years, Bryan’s summoning of Quassai is a forbidden technique in Oran, but his own lifespan is longer than Oran’s founding history, and he knows this kind of magic very well. normal.

With his help, Andrea borrowed the contract between Tang Zhao and the Church of Heim. Simply acting in a play is not a problem. Let’s not talk about how much the other party can believe, at least let the Cyclops Gang pay more attention to Andrea.He was able to have a direct dialogue with the middle and high level of the Cyclops gang.

His idea is not complicated, first try to negotiate with the Cyclops Gang to see if he can force the other party to cooperate normally, if not, he can only resort to force, anyway, there are at least two fourth-tier fighters in the Heim Church, and With the righteous title of crusade against demons, it is useless for Earl Ruford to be dissatisfied. The Church of Heim also has the support of the royal family. In the end, it is not sure who is afraid of who. There is no need to turn against the Church of Heim for an underground gang.
-
The Cyclops moved very quickly. That night, Andrea received a letter from a special person, asking them to go to the black market and meet their boss at the exclusive shop of the Cyclops Gang.

The incident happened suddenly, and Tang Zhao didn't go to fight. He just brought a team of elf rangers just to be on the safe side. They were waiting outside with Brian, and he went to the meeting with Andrea.

In terms of combat effectiveness, in fact, he has no opponents in Luford. With his ton of body size, he was concerned about the official dissatisfaction and fear. Now that he has basically cooperated with the Heim Church, he can speak boldly about his own Heim Church. The lizard over there changes its scales to a different color. The five kinds of kind metal dragons are very popular in the human world. He pretends to be a golden dragon or a silver dragon. He has no dignity at all. Whatever is most beneficial Come.

The interview process went smoothly. When they came to the shop, they had waited for their attendants to collect the letters, and then led a man and a lizard into the warehouse.

The warehouse is very large, but there are some serious goods in it. Going around in the warehouse, the attendant pressed the mechanism on the shelf, and there was a crisp click sound from the floor. The attendant bent down and uncovered the wool felt on the ground, revealing down the entrance.

Andrea had never seen this battle before, so of course she was a little flustered, but the presence of Tang Zhao kept her calm. Lord "Carlos" had promised that this lizard could protect her well, and they all followed the passage all the way down , Came to a spacious and bright, but empty hall.

The attendant saluted at this moment, stepped back in a timely manner, and closed the entrance and exit, and soon the two of them knew the reason.

The Cyclops Chamber of Commerce is called that for a reason—their boss really does have one eye, and only one eye.
