Huantong thought for a while, first activated the golden eye, and once again investigated the most valuable bombardment targets around the new island.
As a result, the primary target is the dragon boy and his party!
The secondary target was his city lord's palace.
"I have gold-level treasures in my treasury to cover and protect my property."
"The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group brought a lot of capital, and they probably want to trade with me!"
Huntong guessed the purpose of the dragon boy and his party.
He immediately flew down.
If the Golden Shining was in good condition, he might slightly lower the height of the flying magic ship and invite the dragon boy and others to visit as a silent intimidation and showoff.
But after the melee, the deck of the Golden Shining was full of holes. Only half of the main condensing turret was left, and only one of the other five condensing turrets was left. It was very miserable.
In this state, if you still want to use a spaceship to show off, you are undoubtedly bringing shame on yourself.
Huntong didn't want to entertain Long Fu and others in the city lord's palace.
Because the gate of the city lord's palace is being blocked by a group of merchants making trouble.
It was too embarrassing for them to see this scene, and it really undermined his dignity.
"Since these people want to trade with me, the money I get from the transaction cannot be seen by those businessmen." Huntong still has this concern.
Based on the above, he had no choice but to take the initiative to come to the door and intercept the group of people halfway.
So, not long after the Dragon Man boy and others walked out of the pier, they saw the twilight pupils flying down.
"Lord." The dragon boy and others bowed and saluted.
Huntong put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and showed the majesty of a noble.
But in the eyes of the dragon boy and others, his eyes were red, his face was pale, his eyes were dull, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
"He already knows that the treasure at the bottom of the sea has disappeared." The dragon boy thought to himself.
Hutong's actions just now were detected by the Deep Sea Monster Fish, and Zidi communicated with them in real time.
Looking at the dim eyes in front of him, the dragon boy couldn't help but recall the first time they met.
At that time, Hutong had a calm attitude and looked down, with aristocratic elegance. It was in sharp contrast to his current state of being strong on the outside and strong on the inside.
There was a hint of vigilance in Zong Ge's eyes.
If Huantong knew that the dragon and lion mercenary group in front of him were the ones who took away the treasure from the bottom of the sea, he would definitely tear himself alive.
Huntong glanced at the group of people in front of him, trying his best to maintain the aristocratic demeanor, and said to the dragon boy: "I see that your direction is towards the city lord's palace, are you here to find me?"
"Exactly." The dragon man boy took advantage of the situation and confessed his purpose: the dragon and lion mercenary group was leaving Eye Island, and they came to see the lord this time. On the one hand, it was to say goodbye, and on the other hand, it was also to make a deal.
"Are you leaving Eye Island now?" Huntong sighed, really reluctant to leave.
He also wanted to recruit this group of people, especially Lion Banner.
His eyes stayed on Shiqi, but there was no trace of nostalgia in the latter's eyes.
Huntong's heart went cold.
He felt short of breath.
If he had harvested the treasure under the sea, he would have already decided to spend a lot of money on it and hire the Lion Banner and even the entire Dragon and Lion mercenary group.
But now...he is poor.
No more confidence.
The group of talents in front of him were already beyond his reach.
He was even a little annoyed just now. Why did he spend so much money last night to pay off the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group heavily?
"To be honest, the war has just ended. Your group also suffered a lot of losses. It is better to rest on the new island for a few days. Before going to sea, it is best to be safe." Hutong persuaded.
But the dragon boy already had a perfect excuse.
He turned slightly sideways, revealing the dwarf stone behind him.
He explained to Huantong: "Lord, in the previous melee, we made a group of sincere comrades."
"Now, Meng Shi has joined our group. But his tribe was taken away by the mysterious necromancer."
"Therefore, we must leave the island as soon as possible and try our best to rescue his clan members and our comrades in arms!"
Huntong was surprised and raised his brows slightly.
In his opinion: The composition of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group was originally impure, and now they actually introduced dwarves. For a silver-level combatant? The risks of this deal are unpredictable, and the pros and cons will depend on the future.
Menshi looked at the back of the dragon boy, his heart filled with gratitude.
He was worried about his own people in his heart, but he also knew the importance and never expressed it, urging the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group to save people.
Because he knew that it was already very rare to allow others to take the risk of fighting the Necromancer to rescue members of his family.
Is he a man who doesn't know what's good or bad, and who tries to push his limits?
of course not!
Kuanshi consciously needs to be measured.
But he didn't expect that he was told by the dragon boy early this morning that the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group had a brief discussion last night and that in order to save his people, they would leave the island today and pursue them!
Gratitude is like a tide, instantly flooding Menshi's heart.
He decided on the spot to join the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group and let the young dragon man drive him.
At this time, seeing Hutong's eyes falling on him, Menshi snorted in his heart: "He must think that I took the initiative to sell myself to the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group in order to save my own people."
"Hmph, even if such a human race is at the gold level, it will never be as good as the leader of the dragon suit!"
Menshi doesn't like Huantong.
His people were sold as slaves at the auction on Double Eye Island.
Hun Tong's eyes swept over Menshi and saw Chi Lai among the crowd.
Before, he didn't have much interest in Chi Lai at the auction.
It's different now.
He only has two silver-level men left, and they are both unreliable.
His current thinking is: Although a silver-level subordinate like Chi Lai is not perfect and does not fit in with both Eyes Island and himself, if he becomes his subordinate now, he can also help Eye Eyes Island survive the emptiness period!
Unfortunately, the opportunity has been lost.
Chi Lai has become a member of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.
Huntong felt more and more regretful, and suddenly another thought popped out: "After the melee, all parties suffered huge losses. However, the lineup of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group became stronger than before. These guys... are really lucky.
good."
Huantong didn't know yet that there was Master Qingxin on board the Tiegeda.
Thinking of this, he felt more and more attractive about the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.
It would be great if this group of people stayed on Eye Island!
Even if you only have one or two pieces of silver left, it will be extremely beneficial.
Although she had no expectations in her heart, Huantong still managed to laugh and made a final attempt: "In detail, Lion Banner has conveyed my intention. Regarding my proposal last night, how did the leader of the Dragon Service think about it?"
The dragon boy sighed deeply: "I'm sorry, Lord."
"Double Eye Island is indeed a treasure land. Under your management, it will surely be prosperous again, far more prosperous than before."
"The Lord's sincerity is really touching. Unfortunately, we can't help ourselves."
The dragon boy declined politely.
Huantong nodded, this response was not unexpected.
He had a heavy look on his face, especially when he saw the treasure chest behind the dragon boy, and thought of his "sincerity" last night, his heart ached even more.
The dragon boy took out a list and handed it to Huntong: "This is the material our group wants to purchase from the lord this time."
Dim Tong glanced around and saw a lot of coral materials, as well as fragrant cheek tea, sea ships, etc.
One of the specialties of Double Eye Island is various corals. Because Double Eye Island itself is a huge coral ball tree.
Xiangzhi Tea is the result of Huantong's deliberate investment and after countless failures.
"Your group is indeed very discerning." Huantong praised the dragon boy, but he was actually praising himself.
"Hmm, Water Pig Man?" Huantong was slightly startled when he saw the back of the list.
He immediately recalled that he had indeed bought a group of orc slaves at the auction.
This group of slaves is the water pig people.
They came from villages in the upper reaches of the Sancai River and were captured by the human slave-catching team and became slaves.
In the original purchase plan of the survivors, Zonge had great ideas about this group of water pigs.
At that time, he listed many advantages of Water Pig people.
"We need these water pig people. Their bloodline is very suitable for the Backwater Fighting Art. Not only do I know how to practice this Fighting Skill, but I also understand how to create a Backwater team."
"With these water pigs, we will have first-class sailors."
"Water Pigs are easy to feed and don't choose what they eat. They can catch fish by themselves, and usually every adult Water Pig is a master of fishing. When they are hungry, they can even eat river sand to satisfy their hunger. Their stomachs are very powerful.
I can barely digest it.”
"During naval battles, we have a brand new attack route. We can use water pigs to attack enemy ships in the water."
"The fighting spirit of backwater allows people to move in the water for a long time. When given to water pig people, it will make them even more powerful."
However, due to the sudden appearance of Qing Xin, the survivors invested heavily in buying the blond mother and son and other human slaves. In the end, they were no better than Hutong and missed out on the water pig people.
Now, the survivors are completely rich and have made a very considerable war fortune.
Therefore, I came to propose an acquisition intention to Huantong again.
Huantong began to think.
He originally purchased these Water Pig slaves because the price was right, but by the end of the auction, everyone's financial resources were exhausted.
Second, water pigs are very suitable for the island environment that is constantly sinking and rising.
But things are different now.
Double Eye Island suffered heavy losses.
Half of the silver-level soldiers were killed, and the city guards suffered heavy losses and needed to be rebuilt.
These extra water pig slaves have become a hidden danger in this environment.
In Huntong's opinion: These are orcs and need to be strictly disciplined.
Now, Double Eye Island has no spare capacity to discipline these orcs.
Thinking of this, Huantong said: "This is really embarrassing for me. When I bought these water pig people, I naturally didn't intend to sell them."
"To be honest, if anyone else made this request, I would reject it immediately."
"But...if you want to join us, I'm willing to sell you a favor, as long as the price is right."
This is businessman talk.
Now that the treasure under the sea is gone and the Dragon and Lion mercenary group has taken the initiative to send it to the door, Huantong will certainly not miss this good opportunity.
He will go all out to negotiate this deal and try to obtain as much valuable funds as possible.
According to the previous arrangement, the dragon boy did not speak, and Zong Ge stood up: "Lord, this deal was proposed by me."
"I have some interest in water pig people, it's just a personal interest."
"The group tolerated me, so I added this item to the transaction list."
"I can only offer this amount. If it exceeds this amount, I can't afford it." Zong Ge raised his palm and stretched out four fingers.
For a moment, Huantong became angry.
"The price I paid for it is much more than your quote!"
Zong Ge retracted his hand, shook his head, and retreated into the crowd: "Then I can't afford it. I won't buy it."
"Huh?" Huantong was stunned for a moment.
Zong Ge didn't play his cards according to common sense, which put him at a loss.
Normally, you should give it a try and raise a price.
Why didn't you buy it?
At this time, the dragon boy stood up and smoothed things over: "Lord, please don't blame Shiqi. He is a person with such a character, straight to the point. This price is indeed all his personal savings and the limit of his financial resources."
"I understand." Huntong nodded, looking at Zong Ge with more and more admiration.
He took the opportunity to say: "Lion Banner, if you join Eye Island, I will give these water pig people to you for free!"
Zong Ge smiled bitterly and shook his head.
When the dragon boy saw Hutong looking straight at Zong Ge, he took a step forward and blocked his gaze with his body.
"Let's do this." The dragon boy said, "I will personally pay for the lion flag and increase the price."
Huntong's face darkened: "Even if you add the money, it's still not enough for my previous purchase price. Leader of the Dragon Service, if you want to retain people's hearts, just relying on this little money will not be enough."
He took the opportunity to use Zong Ge as an excuse to oppress the dragon boy, trying to get him to increase the price.
The dragon boy gritted his teeth and added one more time.
When Hutong continued to speak, Zonge interjected: "Commander, forget it, I'm just a little interested in these water pig people."
"That's it..." The dragon boy sighed.
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be giving up, Huantong's eyelids suddenly jumped.
How can this be done?
This group of water pigs have to sell to get funds.
Huntong also sighed: "That's it."
"We are all friends."
"Just pay the last price! To be honest, I have never done such a loss-making business. But you are different, Lion Flag. I am happy to sell it to you like this."
As he said this, Huantong's heart ached again.
The price is mind-boggling.
The dragon boy and Zong Ge looked at each other, both thinking: Zidi's arrangement is really effective!
