The territory of the rat people, the city-state of Ilmaha.
The newly appointed city lords of Upper City and Lower City, along with a group of rat-human officials, stood outside the city gate, waiting for the arrival of the undead envoy.
They thought the undead would hesitate and discuss, but they didn't expect that the other party agreed on the spot.
The two sides discussed the time, and today is the day when the undead will arrive.
The rat people have complaints against the undead, but even if they complain, they still have to wait outside the city gate.
This is etiquette, a etiquette for communication between two races. After all, the two races will start to trade next.
"Here we come!" The rat-man adjutant standing next to the Lord of the City pointed to the distance and whispered to him.
The Lord of the City looked in the direction of the rat-man adjutant's finger. In the distance, there were shadows, and more than a hundred knights on war horses, escorting the... bug in the center?
It was a modified version of three corpse transport vehicles linked together.
After the transformation, the width of the corpse transport truck has been increased, the mechanical legs underneath are smaller but much larger, and the movement speed has been slightly increased.
The originally thin metal plates were also reinforced and thickened.
This strange team was led by the rat guard of honor to the front of the team waiting for them.
The skeleton knight stopped his horse and spread it out to both sides. The front and rear doors of the corpse transport truck opened, and the skeleton undead walked out of it, forming a neat queue.
Finally, there are the black warriors. They hold long swords in their hands and walk out calmly.
At this time, the Black Warrior is more suitable than the Skeleton Knight. After all, they are...slow.
The black warriors lined up in an orderly manner, walked towards the direction of the rat people, and stood more than ten meters away from the other party.
Gudu.
The Lord of the Upper City swallowed and foamed at the mouth.
What a strong pressure.
He knew many details about the war between the rat people and the undead. Only when he actually faced these black-armored warriors did he realize how powerful the so-called "sense of oppression" in the report was.
Just standing there makes the hairs on your body stand up and your spine shivers.
Subconsciously, he turned to look at the Lower City Lord, who also turned to look over and nodded to him with a serious expression.
The Lord of the Upper City withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and with a smile on his face, the Lord of the Upper City and the Lower City Lord led a group of rat-human officials to greet the Black Warrior enthusiastically.
"Hahaha, friends of the undead, welcome. I am the Lord of the City of Illamaha, Percy Clark."
"I am the Lord of the Lower City, Macon Harold."
The two city lords stepped forward and introduced themselves to the black warrior.
"I am a black warrior, and I am very happy to meet the two city lords."
A low voice sounded from the hearts of the two city lords, Percy and McCann. Both city lords had strange looks on their faces. It turned out that this was how the undead communicated.
It's such a magical feeling.
Percy reacted quickly, waved his hand back and made an invitation gesture, "Come into the city. If anything happens, we can go to the city to talk."
The Black Warrior looked up at Illamaha City, and the eyes of the undead suspended on his shoulders rotated at the same time.
The city-state of Irmaha is surrounded by tall walls.
The city wall is made of long strips of stone, more than ten meters high. Runes are engraved on each city brick, and they are reinforced with the technology of the rat tribe. From time to time, a magical light flashes on the city wall, which enhances the overall defense of the city wall.
.
The Ratmen welcomed the undead team into the city of Illamaha.
The Lord of the Castle was very talkative and kept talking all the way, constantly activating the atmosphere and trying to extract information from the black warrior.
For other people, this trick may work, but for Darth Vader, it has no effect.
He just listened to the Lord of the City in silence and transmitted his words to the soul network.
Li Ziyu controlled the eyes of the dead to observe the city-state of Irmaha.
Compared to the outside, there is so much wealth in the city.
The road is paved with whole stone slabs, with fruit trees planted on both sides, and green spaces and flowers around it.
The commerce here is very developed, you can see business shops everywhere, and there are also many squares dedicated to setting up street stalls.
Citizens walking in the city are also more beautifully dressed, clean and tidy.
Ever since Li Ziyu traveled to another world, she has never seen such a neat and prosperous place.
As a powerful tribe in the central area, the rat people really have merit. At least the people living in the city-state of Ilmaha can live and work in peace and contentment.
The appearance of the undead attracted the attention of the citizens.
When the Black Warrior passed by, they all stopped what they were doing, observing the undead with fear and curiosity.
"Is that the undead?"
"Keep your voice down, don't let them hear you."
"Why did the city lord allow the undead to enter our city?"
"Has this place been defeated by the undead?"
"The city lord smiled so happily at the undead."
"Damn it, is this city lord an undead sect?"
The citizens looked at the group, whispered, and pointed at the team.
Of course, the undead didn't matter, but upper city lord Percy and lower city lord McCann looked very embarrassed.
These whispers from the public are not a good sign and are likely to cause a decrease in their supporters.
But trading with the undead is equally important, so we should deal with the immediate problem first.
The largest building in the city-state of Irmaha is the City Lord's Palace.
Not only does it cover a large area, but it is also built very luxuriously, like a palace.
The City Lord's Mansion is not only an office, but also a military facility. This is the last defensive facility after the upper city area was breached.
On the other hand, the entrance to Xiacheng District is within the scope of the City Lord's Mansion.
Within the scope of the City Lord's Mansion, there are independent manors, squares, fountains, etc.
After entering the city lord's mansion with the undead, the upper city lord Percy obviously raised his head and stood much straighter.
His eyes occasionally glanced like those of the undead.
He believed that anyone would be shocked after seeing the luxurious City Lord's Mansion.
The rat people have many city-states. It is no surprise that these city-states have very luxurious palaces built by the city lords.
The more prosperous a city-state is, the more luxurious the city lord's mansion will be.
The city-state of Ilmaha is at the bottom among the many city-states of the rat people, but the construction of the city lord's palace is also very good.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Unfortunately, Percy was disappointed.
The undead appeared normal, not moved by the luxury.
The undead will not understand these luxurious buildings. To them, such buildings are no more attractive than a few corpses.
The meeting took place in the large conference hall of the city lord's palace.
If it were a normal race, Percy would also arrange many programs, such as singing, dancing, eating, etc. Wait until everyone has eaten, drank, had fun, felt comfortable enough, rested for a night, and then discuss it the next day
.
But he wasn't sure about the undead.
A bunch of skeletons, do they know how to appreciate dance?
Have a meal?
Where to eat?
If you eat it here, it will fall out there.
Percy felt that it would be better to start the negotiation directly.
The negotiation was very fast, and there was no sense of the usual verbal confrontation.
The undead are all straight-tempered. They don't really need business. If Li Ziyu hadn't requested it, they wouldn't have come.
The two sides quickly reached an agreement to use the Rat Death City as a trading location to promote the trade between the rat people and the undead.
After the negotiation was settled, the undead left.
News of communion with the undead quickly spread in the city-state of Ilmaha.
Some people are happy and some are worried.
The happy people are businessmen, they are keenly aware of the business opportunities, which are extremely huge business opportunities.
The undead are naturally feared, but if they can communicate and trade, they won't be feared anymore, and skulls will become extremely cute in their eyes.
For businessmen, once they have enough profits, death and enemies are all cute little treasures.
If there is a 10% profit, the merchant is guaranteed to be used everywhere.
If there is a 20% profit, businessmen will become active.
If there is a 50% profit, businessmen will take desperate risks.
If there is 100% profit, businessmen will dare to trample all laws.
If there is a 300% profit, the businessman would dare to commit any crime and risk being hanged.
Businessmen don't care about city-states, countries, or races. In their eyes, there is only profit!
They will follow whoever can give them more benefits.
Undead, a legendary race, how many good things can there be!
When the news of trading with the dead spread from the city lord's palace, the merchants in Illamaha City almost rioted, and they screamed with excitement.
Compared with excited businessmen, there are also many worried people.
Most of these people are ordinary citizens. They are more worried about the threat of the undead and always feel that communing with the undead is not a good choice.
Li Ziyu doesn't care what the residents of Ilmaha city-state think, and neither does the undead.
On the day when the undead returned to the Rat Dead Border City, the citizens received news that they had an additional city lord.
What surprised them was that the city lord was not an undead, but actually a human being.
It was none other than Zhang Peng.
Li Ziyu didn't have many people at hand, only Zhang Peng, who started his business.
Professional matters should be handled by professionals.
Zhang Peng may not be good at other things, but he is still good at doing business.
Li Ziyu didn't have high expectations for the Rat-Destroyed Border City. It would be best if he could rely on this city to gather resources, but he didn't care if the city was gone.
So the city was handed over to Zhang Peng.
The residents in the Rat-Dead Border City are very confused. They don't remember that there is a human among them.
Could it be that this human being is from the undead side?
That’s not right, the undead are all skeletons, how can there be humans?
But no matter what, a human became their city lord. This is a fact, and the undead have proven this.
They cannot resist.
The outcome of resistance is death, but if you don't resist, you will have food, drink, and a house to live in, and your life will be pretty good.
The citizens of the Rat-Dead Border City quickly recognized the fact that Zhang Peng was the city lord.
After Zhang Peng took office, he quickly issued the first order, asking the citizens to build a field outside the city gate in the direction of the rat people's territory.
In his view, everyone is cautious in early trading.
Even if merchants want to trade with the undead, they will be wary. They may not be willing to enter the border city of the rat dead.
After all, it is a city of the undead. If someone comes and has no way of getting in and out, it will be great fun.
If the transaction continues, then just do it outside the city.
The materials used for the outside venue are quite simple, just build some broken sheds, whether you use four wooden sticks to hang a cloth, or use thatch to build a shed, you can do it.
This kind of shed is easy to build and takes no trouble at all. Soon a commercial street will be formed outside.
Zhang Peng sorted out the resources and found helplessly that people in the city were really poor and had nothing to ask for.
This is normal, after all, most of these people were once homeless.
It's hard to even eat, so asking them to come up with supplies is just a fantasy.
Fortunately, Zhang Peng has a lot of goods in his hands.
He has been following Li Ziyu all the time. In addition to the resources Li Ziyu gave him, he will also obtain resources through various transactions.
In addition to the resources in the hands of the indigenous people, he also exchanged a lot of resources with other time traveler lords through the system.
If the residents don’t have the resources in the early stage, then Zhang Peng can only find a solution by himself.
In order to make Rat Dead Border City look prosperous and lively, he took out a lot of basic resources such as food, minerals, etc., and asked the city residents to help him sell them.
In return, Zhang Peng will also provide benefits to residents.
This is something that everyone is happy with, and the residents have no reason to refuse.
When the first batch of merchants from the rat tribe arrived, they saw a lively scene.
Some businessmen don't believe their eyes.
Is it because the wind and sand are so strong that we are hallucinating?
The people selling things are not undead but living people?
They wiped their eyes again and again, unable to believe what they were seeing.
After stopping for a long time, some businessmen finally couldn't bear it anymore. Even though they were here, they had to go up and have a look.
He stepped into the commercial street and looked at it curiously.
There are many people selling food, as well as wood and stone, all of which are simple items.
The businessman came to a fruit stall out of curiosity. At this stall, he found several fruits he had never seen before.
The fruit sellers are an orc father and his daughter.
"Are you an orc?" the merchant asked curiously, looking up and down at the fruit vendor in front of him.
"Yes, do you need to buy some fruit?" the orc father asked with a smile on his face.
"I can buy fruits, but can I ask you a few questions?" The rat merchant looked at the fruits and asked with a kind smile.
"What do you want to know?" The orc father instantly became alert.
"Don't get me wrong, I just want to know the answers to a few simple questions. Did you live in this land before?" The businessman looked at the orc father in confusion and asked.
The orc father thought for a while and felt that this problem was not a big deal, so he nodded and said, "Yes."
The rat-man merchant raised his brows and then asked, "Why didn't you go to the rat-men's territory when you retreated?"
The orc father rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "Because the rat people don't want us."
"Huh?" The rat-man businessman became even more confused. He looked at the orc father again, and then at the little girl beside him. Although they were not well dressed, they were very clean, so he frowned and asked, "Why?"
Hearing this, the orc father was a little angry, took a deep breath, and replied in a cold tone, "Because I am a wanderer, a refugee, okay? This businessman, do you want to buy fruit or do you want to ask me?
question?"
The businessman quickly raised his hands, with a warm smile on his face, and said repeatedly, "Don't be excited, don't be excited, I want all the fruits you have here!"
As he spoke, the businessman took off his money bag and asked about the price.
Zhang Peng meant to barter, but in the central area, coins have become popular, and the rat tribe merchants will not bring a large amount of goods with great fanfare for the first time.
In desperation, Zhang Peng still gave the residents a free choice. They could exchange goods or use coins, but it was best to use goods.
The prices were set, and the orc father sold the fruit to the rat merchant at the price set by Zhang Peng.
The rat merchant kept his word and bought all the fruits on the stall.
It was such a good start that other stall owners were envious.
The city lord formulated a series of rewards and punishments. The simplest one is that they set up a stall and get rewards, but there is a bottom line. If they don't sell, the rewards will be gone.
Each stall has a quota, and for the portion exceeding the quota, there will be more rewards.
In addition to these, those who have a good start and sell the most will receive rewards for responding.
As for the orc father and his daughter, they sold out all the fruits at the stall, which was a good start. Naturally, they were rewarded, so they couldn't help but envy them.
