23. Mekkatorque vs Black So

What is there in Shadowforge City?

Ten years ago, the answer to this question was simple. There were only a group of crazy dwarves who worshiped fire and were destructive maniacs.

Now, the answer to this question is complicated.

There are now more than a dozen forging companies in Shadowforge City. They were established by the original slave owners to specifically serve the terrible military requirements of the Dark Blade Legion. Each company's orders have been scheduled for three years. All those who can still move are

The Dark Iron dwarves were lured into the factory by all kinds of sweet talk.

The slave owners will not reject the money thrown by the undead. Money has no borders, and the entire Darkforge City is now like a giant factory, with the sound of forging hammers everywhere, and sets of armors and weapons being installed.

In a simple pulley structure car, send it to the ground in exchange for large sums of money.

What do dwarves want money for?

The answer to this question is actually very complicated, but in the final analysis, in the bones of all dwarves, there is a greed for luxury treasures, and even the most bohemian Wildhammer dwarves are not exempt from this.

Of course, after the commercial networks in the Defias Federal District and the Black Iron District were gradually connected, various delicacies from the human world, especially those fine wines and exquisitely packaged cigars that the dwarves had never seen, were also further introduced.

Drain their pockets.

Regarding how to manage the savage and rude Dark Iron dwarves, Tyrion had not communicated with Myra, the governor of the Dark Iron Region, and after the grueling first two months, Myra also learned some things by herself.

He began to divide the group of Dark Iron dwarves, and worked very hard to convince Luminas, and handed over all the Hellfire Chapter's armaments and supplies to the Dark Iron dwarves.

This was just the beginning. When the Thorium Brotherhood Forging Company made a fortune and held a grand banquet in the Dark Iron Bar to celebrate, Dark Iron dwarves began to come to contact him.

Now, all the armaments and supplies of the 13 war groups in Azeroth have been handed over to the commercial companies in the Dark Iron Zone. Stimulated by huge profits, any Dark Iron dwarfs who still have brains have no time to discuss what to do.

The rule of the Thorium Brotherhood has been overthrown. In a golden age where you can make money as long as you are willing to do it, there is no reason for even the most stubborn guy to have trouble with cute gold coins, right?

Gold coins are useless to the undead, so they are extremely generous. All in all, this transaction makes both parties very satisfied.

And now, in this crazy business feast, new players have joined, and they will also get their own share of this feast.

"Hey, look at the antiques you are using. These are all designs from more than 30 years ago."

A goblin wearing a black dress, a monocle, and a mohawk made no secret of his disdain. He stood in the workshop of the Thorium Brotherhood Forging Company, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief and looking at the people around him.

Dark Iron Dwarf said:

"Black Solo Technology Company has the latest rail transportation system, which can transport five times more materials at one time than now, which means that your production efficiency will be greatly improved. The most important thing is that the system is now on sale. It

It’s very cheap and my staff can provide installation services for free.”

As he spoke, the goblin handed a simple product folding sheet to the black iron dwarf boss in front of him who was wearing gold and silver and full of nouveau riche temperament. The ten fingers of the black iron dwarf were covered with gemstone rings.

The boss was obviously not satisfied. He turned the folded pages in his hand over and over, and then shook his head at the goblin who was rubbing his hands:

"No, we don't need this delivery system."

The black iron boss sat arrogantly on his swivel leather chair, picked up a hardcover cigar, lit it with an exquisite lighter sold in the Defias Alliance area, and puffed in a very stylish manner.

There was a hint of cunning in his blood-red eyes.

"Because we have better options."

"Well?"

The goblin wearing a monocle showed a suspicious expression. He patted his product foldout and said to the potbellied black iron boss:

"No, with all due respect, in the entire Eastern Continent, you will never find a better choice than the products of Hesso Technology Company! Well, since we are having business dealings for the first time, in order to represent my sincerity, I can

Offering your company 30% free replacement parts for the first year is a great value!”

"Well, that sounds good."

The black iron boss snapped his fingers, and the attendant immediately handed him a glass of mellow Milly Manor wine. He took a satisfied sip of the wine, and then said to the waiting goblin:

"But I still refused. Yesterday, a dwarf came to sell me the same product. It was called "Oversbach Technology Laboratory." It seemed to be that name. The product he gave me was one-third cheaper than your product.

One, it also improves work efficiency, and you know what’s the best thing?”

A trace of pride flashed in the Dark Iron Dwarf's eyes:

"He gave me 5 years of free repair services. I'm sorry, goblin friend, but I have already signed an agreement with him. You are late, but maybe you can go to the company next door and have a look. Lieutenant Hall's Excavation Company maybe

We also need products like yours...that upstart is a complete rip-off, you know that, right?"

The boss of the Thorium Brotherhood Forging Company snorted coldly and threw the cigar butt in his hand at the goblin's feet:

"I'm not! You want me to pay? No problem, show your sincerity, small businessman, this is not your chaotic treasure bay, the Black Iron District Business Association is watching you, don't play any tricks.

"

A few minutes later, the extremely corrupt goblin Heisuo walked out of the forging company's office cursing. Several followers were waiting for his boss outside the door, as well as a tall troll. This guy was very similar to an ogre.

But it is gentler than the ogre, and many goblins will choose a giant monster as their bodyguard and transportation tool.

Heisuo angrily sat on the troll's shoulder and complained to the secretary next to him:

"This is the third lost business this month. Damn it! Where did Oversbach Technology Labs come from? Five years of repair service? Damn it! How much money can they make? They don't have it.

Cost?”

"Boss, do I know who they are?"

It was a goblin lady wearing a colorful skirt and dressed very "coquettishly", Nasha Mars, an excellent accountant, and a ruthless sharpshooter. While smoking a cigar, she said to her boss:

"They are a group of dwarves, and as far as I know, they live on the third floor below Darkforge City. It is said that the Dark Blade Legion invited them to carry out some technological development, and they also received a batch of research funds. This is why

The reason why they can keep the price so low...There is no doubt that these bastards are seizing the market, they want to drive us out of the business circle of Shadowforge City, and then monopolize the business here."

"Oh, Nasha, you summed it up so well."

The goblin engineer Heisuo, who was sitting on the troll's shoulder, gritted his teeth, and a trace of sinisterness flashed in his narrowed eyes:

"Shadowforge City is the first treasure our company discovered. There is a lot of money to be made here, and I don't want to give up my gold coins to them, even just one! You help me go to Booty Bay to hire some "friends"

, maybe it would be a good choice to let that damn greedy dwarf have an accident."

"No, boss, Shadowforge City is not the Treasure Coast. Private fights are not allowed here."

Secretary Nasha shook her head and said to her boss with some regret:

"Here, we have to do things like businessmen, but that's a good thing. Do you remember the bomb assassination planned by the Venture Capital Company in Gadgetzan a year ago? We don't need to worry about that kind of thing here.

.”

"But our funds are at a disadvantage, Nasha, we can't compete with those shameless dwarfs."

Engineer Heisuo said with a grimace:

"Are we really going to give up this geomantic treasure to the dwarves? The Black Iron District is just the beginning. There is also the Defias Federal District, where the commercial market is almost blank. Do we really want to give up?"

"No, boss, I mean, let's give these petty profits to them."

The coquettish goblin secretary Nasha reached out and brushed her wavy golden hair. She looked around, lowered her voice, and said to her boss:

"I got a message, boss. This afternoon, at the Shadowforge City Hall, there was a weapons bidding meeting hosted by the Dark Blade Consortium. The Dark Blade Legion needs the most outstanding engineers to develop some war weapons for them. I learned from some "friends"

"I got the news there, the initial funding for that project..."

Nasha looked at Heisuo's shining eyes and stretched out three hands to wave. Heisuo couldn't help but scratch his chin:

"300,000? Well, it seems worth checking out."

"No, fool!"

Nasha screamed:

"3 million! It's 3 million. Do you understand? The undead have offered a high price, 3 million. How many machines do you have to sell to make money back?"

"37343 units!"

Heisuo's excellent calculation power quickly came to this conclusion, but the next moment, he clenched his fists:

"To hell with petty profits, that project must belong to BlackSolar Technologies! Wait, if there are gnomes involved, this is still a battle of ideas between the glorious goblin engineering and the dirty children's toy gnome engineering...

.I have a good idea, Nasha. I will immediately contact the goblin tinkers in Jingtooth City and my good friend Gazlowe. I need their wisdom to rectify the name of goblin engineering!"

"The glorious goblin engineering is the future of this world. While we are making money, we must also beat the dirty dwarves to pieces!"

At the same time, on the other side, Overspark, who was taking the big craftsman and the entire craftsman council to tour the laboratory he had just established, looked gloomy. He had just heard the bad news from his subordinates who hurried over.

A new opponent appeared in the bidding meeting, and it was also the goblin he hated the most.

"Sorry, everyone."

Oversback, who had always been timid, acted like a real warrior at this moment. He straightened the collar of his clothes indifferently, and then said to Mekkatorque and the MPs behind him:

"I have something urgent to deal with. A group of despicable goblins are planning to steal our money from me. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that goblins who only know bombs and explosion engineering, first

This is the first time I have challenged the perfect dwarf engineering on an official occasion, and I must challenge it! Defeat those thugs who only know how to play with bombs!"

"Hey, Overspark, you promised us that you would show us the plan today!"

Councilor Morse folded his arms in dissatisfaction and shouted to the white-haired dwarf:

"Don't forget, this is a major matter concerning the survival of the dwarf race!"

"But I have big things to deal with too!"

Oversbach gritted his teeth and retorted:

"Three million gold coins! Brothers, that money can be used to rebuild Gnomeregan and even update our city's underground water circulation system. It is completely enough. This money is simply a life-saving straw for the people. I can't use it.

Just give it to Heisuo, that damn goblin! In the past two days, he has snatched 7 orders from me!"

"Hesso?"

Mekkatorque scratched his scalp, which had become smooth because he was too smart. He rubbed his chin. After a moment, he said to Overspark:

"I have heard of Blackso's name. He is a new generation genius of goblin engineering. He is simply outstanding in the research of explosives and war machinery. I have read all his papers, and with all due respect, Overspark

, if you are the only one, you may not be his opponent."

"What do you mean? My friend Mekkatorque."

Oversbach said with a dissatisfied look:

"Are you criticizing my engineering skills? I'm not afraid of Black Cord!"

"No, I mean..."

The great craftsman casually picked up a silver-white wrench and waved it in his hand: "The battle of wisdom is not judged by the number of people. You also said that this is a dispute over the meaning of dwarf engineering and goblin engineering. Although I

I hate the undead, but I will not allow dwarf engineering to fail, that is my belief!"

"Let's go!"

The great craftsman turned and walked towards the exit of the laboratory, and said loudly:

"Let us teach that ignorant bastard a lesson and only know how to play with bombs and gunpowder! Let him get out of this city with shame... Gnome Engineering, that is the real future of technology!"

"certainly!"

Oversbach shouted excitedly:

"With you here, Mekkatorque, we will definitely defeat Black Sol. The most important thing is, we will win the 3 million! And then save our city!"

——————————————————————————-

"To be honest, I don't understand why His Majesty would leave the design of this weapon to others."

The leader of the Dark Blade Consortium, Goblin Buddy Moore, while combing his hair in the mirror, complained to the Governor of the Black Iron Region next to him:

"That's 3 million gold coins! We should keep this money from Booty Bay's three years' profit instead of giving it to others."

Myra Dawn Blade, who was tasting the newly brewed dragon blood wine, heard this complaint and sneered:

"Buddy, not everything is business. Spending 3 million to win a group of motivated scientists is a very cost-effective thing. The dwarfs need to join the new system as quickly as possible. Believe me, this is the most perfect solution."

opportunity.”

"Give them food and clothing, give them dignity, give them freedom, and finally..."

Myra shook the wine glass in front of her, and the bright red liquid reflected an evil light: "Finally, let them realize the meaning of their existence. Look, this place is simply paradise."
