Chapter 300 The Adventurer's Paradise (Double update will be resumed tomorrow)
"Boss! The Alliance people are here again!"
Rivigaz waited for two days, and finally Li De came again, which made him feel relieved.
During this period, the alliance's troops did not make any movements, but came to negotiate for the second time, which shows that the alliance has probably given up the use of force and is prepared to accept its own conditions.
However, what Rivigaz did not expect was that Li De came with a victorious smile on his face this time.
"Mr. Rivergaz, I'm here to share the good news with you. The orc world Gorongas has stopped the turmoil and submitted a trade request to the alliance. There is a new huge market waiting for us to explore. Very soon.
Both sides of the Dark Door in the Cursed Land will become lively."
This news made Rivigaz feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. If Li De had not told lies, his previous remarks could really be regarded as a prophecy.
Not long ago, he just said that the Blasted Lands and Swamp of Sorrows are barren lands, and the Alliance has absolutely no interest there, and it is not worth establishing a military base for this purpose.
"Later we will send an inspection team into the Dark Portal to assess the commercial value of Gorongas. If there is no problem, we will establish a commercial port in the Cursed Land. Of course, the port for handling goods and the corresponding naval base will also
They all have to be set up.
Ah, by the way, I remember you said before that if the Alliance does not give up its force, you will abandon the port and retreat to Stranglethorn Valley. So when will you take the people to evacuate?
If the Alliance can own Treasure Bay, then the ships that connect the Stormwind City port and the Blasted Land can rest and recuperate when passing through here..."
"Stop talking! Let me slow down..."
Rivigaz interrupted Li De somewhat rudely. He felt his mind was spinning, and he quickly held on to the table beside him to prevent himself from falling.
How could things be such a coincidence? Li De obviously had nothing to do with him last time, but in just two days, news came that the Dark Gate was about to open.
"Protector Li De, is everything you said true? A whole blank market in the world?!"
Now it was Rivigaz's turn to be conflicted. If Li De had not lied to him, with such a big market as the backing, the Kingdom of Storm could completely block itself, and there would be no chance of winning if it continued to fight. And to be honest, such a big one
The market was right under his nose, and Rivigaz was tempted.
He began to weigh and accept the alliance's conditions, and it might not be a bad idea to use 240,000 gold coins as a ticket to enter the Gorongas market.
Li De continued to talk as if he didn't notice Revegaz's conflicting mood.
"If you don't believe it, you can arrange for a few people to go to the Cursed Land for you. Just in these few days, we will invite Zandalari scholar Takshiro to visit Gorongas.
"
"Zandalar?! What's going on with them here?"
Rivergaz was horrified when he heard Li De mentioning Zandalar inadvertently.
"Ha, I have old friendships with some people in Zandalari. During the war, Elder Takshiro, who was responsible for compiling history books in Zandalari, showed great interest in the history of Gorongas.
.In the plan to develop Gorongas, Zandalari may also participate in cooperation."
If the return of Gorongas to normal only kills Rivergaz's future, then Zandalari may directly threaten his present.
This guy's biggest reliance is on the jungle trolls, who designate him as the only trading partner. But Zandalari has a certain influence on all trolls. If Zandalari sides with the Alliance, it will be the end of him.
disaster.
Under the double attack, Rivergaz finally gave in.
"Violent conflict is not good for everyone. Can you give me some time to think about it? I have been here for many years and am most familiar with the local situation. If Booty Bay is accepted by the Alliance, there will be a problem of management chaos for a long time.
."
"So, you are planning to give up resistance, normalize relations between the two parties as soon as possible, and take this opportunity to participate in the trading system of the two worlds?"
Li De asked with a half-smile, and Levigaz looked a little embarrassed.
"The premise is that there really is a huge market behind the Dark Portal, so I will send representatives to investigate."
Of course, Li De would not refuse Rivigaz's request. After giving Rivigaz three hours to think about it, Li De and Andel simply waited here.
Booty Bay is built against the mountains, and the entire town is divided into many floors. Li De and the others were waiting in the office on the top floor, while Riveratz went to find his favorite representative.
In a workshop at the bottom of Booty Bay, Rivergaz found Dr. Boom from a pile of mechanical parts.
"You have been to the world of orcs before, so you should know something about the situation there, right?"
When Revegaz came to visit, Dr. Bang Bang thought he was preparing to start a war. He was about to introduce his newly developed weapons to the other party when he heard such a question from the other party.
"What's the meaning?"
"I decided to call a truce with the Alliance, and the Dark Portal reopened, but this time the orcs don't plan to fight the Alliance, they want to trade with the Alliance.
Once they form a system, I will have no way to survive. Since I can't beat them, I will join them. So I want to send your representative to investigate clearly and see if the alliance is lying to me."
Sure enough, they are still going to surrender. Dr. Bangpeng is not surprised by this. It is not easy to persist until now with only a small corner.
"Okay, I will help you complete the task, which can be regarded as repaying your favor for accepting me, a bereaved dog."
Dr. Boom was not an employee of Rivergaz. He was a retainer recruited by Hotsand. However, he was destroyed in the arsenal. Soon after, Bogpaddle Town was bombed, leaving Dr. Boom with no place to hide.
At that time, the Alliance was in a hurry to launch its troops into the Cursed Land. After bombing the town of Marsh Paddle and confiscating all the property there, it failed to take care of so many details, allowing Dr. Boom to have the opportunity to escape from the sea, and went through many twists and turns in a big circle.
Arrive at Booty Bay.
He originally planned to rest here for a while and then return to Kezan from here. However, he did not expect that the Alliance would pacify Ner'zhul soon after, and then the situation in Booty Bay became tense, blocking his way back to Kezan.
.
"By the way, while I'm gone, don't forget to send food to my workroom. The Ironman Unit 1 has not yet completed its transformation, and it still needs normal human food to survive. Of course, it is best to have high-nutrition food.
Meat, so that he doesn’t have to eat too much. His digestive system has been partially modified and he can’t bear eating too much nutritious food..."
"ok, ok, I got it."
Rivergaz nodded repeatedly, thinking that the research this guy was doing was really crazy, and of course he was indeed an out-and-out genius.
…
"Haha, I'm so happy to see that old guy like you is still alive."
Seeing Drek'Thar again, Takshiro held his hand and said excitedly, while Drek'Thar also sighed with emotion.
"We haven't seen each other for just a few months, and it feels like a lifetime ago. But you seem to be in good spirits. Did you encounter something happy recently?"
"Sometimes I really wonder if your eyes are blind."
Takshiro laughed and joked. It was because the old orc shaman was not as sharp as a blind man. Takshiro had really changed a lot. He had always been dressed in simple clothes and now he was wearing a robe and his hair was done.
It was shiny, its face was red, and even its fangs were newly inlaid with two rings of gold.
Gu Zheng
Everyone looked at Takshiro curiously, and the old man looked directly at Li De.
"This is all thanks to you. The world has changed so much compared to a few years ago that I can hardly recognize it. After the war with Ner'zhul ended, I returned to the Zansul History Museum to complete the conclusion of the general history.
Work."
"How did it end like this?"
Li De was surprised by this, and Takshiro gave the answer with a smile.
"A new historical era has begun, so why should the "Ancient History of Azeroth" be delayed for so long? My travels some time ago gave me huge gains, and I felt like I had divine help when I started writing.
In short, the history compilation work has been completed very well, and the manuscript of the general history has been put into the treasury by His Majesty the God King Rastakhan. His Majesty also rewarded me with many treasures, old man, I also took this opportunity to look good and wear something new."
No one knows history better than Takshiro, and he knows very well when to reassure the monarch. After presiding over the compilation of such a monumental work, Takshiro also gained a high reputation. Faced with the monarch's reward,
It would be too much of a show if we just put it on the shelf and continue our simple lifestyle.
Li De's invitation to him this time played into Takshiro's hands. He could take this opportunity to express his disinterest in specific affairs, and he would rather be a leisurely scholar who likes to travel around and enjoy the mountains and rivers.
…
In this way, the multi-party expedition set off from Booty Bay by boat, and finally landed in the Cursed Land. After being received by Turalyon, they entered the Dark Portal again.
"As I said to King Varian before, the Nagrand Highlands were the least damaged, but the land carrying capacity of the Nagrand Grassland is very limited. Now refugees from other places are pouring into Nagrand in large numbers.
Expecting Nagrand to feed such a large population will only lead to one result: the environment of Nagrand will be seriously damaged."
"So how large is the surviving population in this world?"
Although the elemental planes and large tracts of no-man's land surrounding the broken world indicated that this place would be a good place to study magic and engineering, Dr. Boom knew that the size of the market would ultimately be determined by the trust of others.
Demographic decision.
"In Galadar alone, the population has exceeded 30,000, not counting the orcs in other areas. We do not have good statistics, but conservative estimates suggest that the number of surviving orcs should be more than 70,000.
"
When Drek'Thar spoke, everyone could feel the anxiety in his tone.
Garadar, located in Nagrand, was originally just a wounded barracks to accommodate sick orcs. Under normal circumstances, it could only accommodate up to three thousand people, but now it is crowded with ten times the population.
This is why Drek'Thar is eager to obtain living supplies from Azeroth through trade. He really doesn't want to see the tragedy of cannibalism. Sometimes he really wishes that he was completely blind.
"Why are there so many people?!"
The accompanying Stormwind Kingdom officials were startled. It was good to have a large-scale market, but it would be best if the people who made up this population were not orcs.
This was the number of orcs that disrupted the entire Kingdom and Continent. Why are there still so many orcs in Gorongas?!
Drek'Thar looked a little unhappy, and then looked a little sad.
"Wanderers without clans, mixed-blood orcs and orcs without fighting ability would not have been included in the statistics of the tribe originally. Now they have all become refugees."
Over there, Nobundo said expressionlessly.
"There should be 20,000 Draenei survivors in Shattrath City."
Dr. Boom is a little dissatisfied with this.
"They are all estimates, approximate, and similar words. Without accurate data, it is difficult to convince people."
Nobundo, who had always been calm and calm, suddenly showed a trace of pain. Magtur was a little angry and spoke in a loud voice.
"The ones who can still stay in Shattrath are all the undistorted Draenei. Because of fear of being infected, we Broken Ones cannot enter Shattrath. Even if we get close, we will be expelled by the troops there!
So Master Nobundo can only estimate, are you satisfied with this answer?!"
The team suddenly became much silent. This was another ethical tragedy. Dr. Bangpeng mumbled and said nothing more, but Nobundo quickly calmed down.
"There are more Broken ones than undistorted Draenei. As far as I know, there are more than 30,000 Broken ones living on the edge of Nagrand and Zangarmarsh. There may still be people living in the Shadowmoon Valley area.
There is a group of Broken Ones, but they seem to have other beliefs, so I’m not sure.”
Dr. Bangpeng began to calculate secretly in his mind. The total population of Gorongas is at least hundreds of thousands. Even if each of these hundreds of thousands of people only consumes a few gold coins a year, it is a big business worth millions.
.
Of course, the majority of the money will definitely be taken by the Alliance in the end. By participating in this trading system, how much can Rivigaz earn in a year? He needs to pay a one-time payment of 240,000 gold coins. Is this deal worth it?
While he was thinking this, Li De spoke.
"This should only be the population that can be directly affected, right? There must be more than just orcs and draenei surviving in Gorongas."
"Yes, the survivors also include intelligent races such as ogres and arakkoa. They are also having a hard time now. Although they are difficult to deal with, they are willing to trade as long as the price is fair."
The officials appointed by Varian were frightened after hearing this. They could be described as "difficult to deal with" by the orcs. What a dangerous world this is.
On the contrary, Dr. Bangpeng has found development opportunities in this. If it is said that the population size may more than double, such a market size will be very attractive.
In addition, there is only one trading entrance in Gorongas: the Dark Gate, which means that for a long time in the future, this world will be monopolized by the Alliance.
Goblins know best how profitable a monopoly can be, not to mention that in addition to ordinary daily necessities transactions, precious ore resources can also be mined here. Taking Azeroth back will be another huge profit.
In an instant, Dr. Boom changed his perception of the world. This shabby world is simply a paradise for adventurers! As long as you have the courage, anyone can reach the sky in one step!
Li De saw all the changes in Dr. Bangpeng's expression.
"Are you relieved this time? If Booty Bay wasn't too important and the alliance couldn't spare the money to pay for the huge operating costs, I would definitely not be willing to share the business opportunities with you."
Hearing what Li De said, Dr. Bangpeng immediately burst into laughter. He did not dare to offend Li De too much, because he knew very well that the destruction of the arsenal and Marsh Town was all caused by this man's handiwork.
At this moment, Li De thought of another thing and said it to Dr. Bangpeng in a non-trivial manner.
"Thank you to your boss, Hot Sand Bar. Because of his signature on the letter of surrender, all of you can avoid trial. But I remember that you worked with the orcs and black dragons for a period of time?
After some time, the Dragon Legion may ask you to explain some issues. When the time comes, please tell me honestly and don't play tricks. As long as this way, you can still do your own thing with peace of mind."
After Li De warned him, he put the matter behind him. After all, Dr. Bang Bang was just a small character. But Li De didn't know that his words frightened Dr. Bang Bang. This guy didn't commit any crime that endangers the security of the world.
A serious crime, but when he thought about the research he was doing recently, he felt frightened.
Regardless of the dragon or the alliance, they would definitely not allow this kind of research to exist. For a while, Dr. Bangpeng had an idea.
