"Lord Snorri, Governor Zou, please go to the tent and have a chat!" While Snorri was having a headache over the strange price, Linghu Zhengde came over with two Cathay warriors to invite him.
"It's finally here! I have to scrape some money from these fellow villagers!" Snorri thought to himself. He had a big project like building a railway, so the more funds, the better.
"Why did you invite me here so early in the morning?" Snorri walked into the tent with a few guards. Both parties looked hungover, but the Cathay side was filled with joy that could not be concealed, while the Dwarf side was filled with joy.
Confused and confused.
"Ah haha! We have admired the scenery of the West for a long time, but the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so we have never had the opportunity to go and see it. Now I am honored to meet you, sir, and I hope you can teach me something." Zou Qilin said a few words about home affairs, and then went straight to the topic.
Snorri understood Sinian, but he still pretended to wait for Linghu Zhengde to translate before replying.
"Can you teach me? Sons of the mountains don't talk about red tape. You can ask whatever you want!"
"How far is it from here to your territory?" Linghu Zhengde decided to proceed step by step.
"The hike takes more than ten days. It can be shortened if there is transportation or road construction." Snorri added, he was afraid that the trek in the rain forest would scare away the Sinian merchants.
"Is it safe for you to come here?" For this ocean-going caravan of the Dragon Fleet, distance is not a big problem. They have all traveled here from Cathay, so the relative safety issue is more important.
.
"It's very safe. The spiritual connection between the Bone Temple and here is well maintained. The lizard people have good control over this section of the road."
Snorri said, he originally wanted to tell Linghu Zhengde directly that they could land from the Bone Temple, and the distance could be much closer. However, this would expose his needs, and it would not be too late to put it forward later.
"Excellent! I ask how long it will take to get to the Eternal Peak!" Zou Qilin gave instructions in Sinian dialect.
"Why are you asking this?" Although he had already grasped the situation, Snorri still wanted to pretend.
"Ah haha, we don't mean any harm, we just want to exchange information with your department and your compatriots in the old world. The Kingdom of Cathay is vast and rich in resources, and there are many skilled craftsmen. I think there are a lot of things you need!" Linghu Zhengde finally said!
served its own purpose.
"Oh? I've been sightseeing around Tiatequa. You can't even capture the lizard people's market, so why should you compete in the old world?" Snorri came up to suppress him.
"What do you think of our silk?" said a graceful maid holding a piece of silk from the side and handed it over. Snorri's heart skipped a beat when he looked at the woman in oriental clothes, causing him to take a sip
Tea to cover up.
This reaction was no wonder for the young dwarf. He was in the prime of his youth, but he didn't even meet any decent females during this expedition.
No matter how beautiful the queens of Nehekhara's tombs or the concubines who were buried with them were, they are now literally red and pink skeletons. The greenskin rely on spreading spores, while the lizardmen rely on hatching tanks to replenish their numbers. They have no gender.
Word.
After all, apart from the Amazons, a group of female men who tear apart tigers and leopards, the one who can be considered female is the reproductive queen.
"This is the same style as Lord Atik! Look, the texture, the patterns, and the silkiness!" Linghu Zhengde opened half of the door and promoted it to Snorri. "It's great when it's made into clothes.
Warm in winter and cool in summer, but also..."
"Is this durable?" Snorri stretched out his hand and drank it, and the slight "hissing" sound made everyone present feel a little embarrassed.
"We live underground, and mining and fighting are indispensable. Even if we are a king, our clothes are still based on practicality." Snorri showed a lack of interest.
"What about this tea? Have you heard of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, the flagship product of the Southern Caravan?" Linghu Zhengde took another brick of tea and placed it in front of Snorri. It was obviously specially made for easy storage during transportation.
of.
"Drinking tea not only refreshes the mind but also relieves food and fatigue, and can also strengthen the body! In many places, from top to bottom, people would rather go a day without food than without tea!" The translator vigorously promoted the products.
"Hahaha, we don't need this. If you come to my city as a guest, you will have a fine wine to entertain you! It tastes sweet and nutritious! Your wine is strong but it tastes spicy!" Snorri evaded again,
He originally wanted to mention coffee as a competing product, but after thinking about it, this approach was not dwarfed.
"I've heard that dwarves are addicted to alcohol, so why don't you sell this tea?" Zou Qilin signaled Linghu Zhengde to change the topic.
"Well, our Cathay's firearms are equally powerful. Among those exporting to foreign countries, the iron hail blunderbuss and the crane blunderbuss are ready for both near and far, and the crosshairs are devastating! And the giant cannon, it can be said that the cannon is just like its name, booming.
All of a sudden, you will know who will be hit!"
Linghu Zhengde began to sell arms again. It is said that once the cannon is fired, there is ten thousand taels of gold. Arms or things are not bought and sold at one time. You can continue to make money from the ammunition, maintenance, etc. that follow.
"Come on, come on, let's take a look!" Snorri was very interested in the war supplies, but he couldn't help but shake his head after looking at the two samples of firecrackers.
"One is a short-range shotgun, which is barely powerful, but the range is really not enough. If you use this to kill an enemy in a small space, you will damage yourself by 800. Why does the Crane Gun look like a Shu man holding a gun? Hold it with a tower shield.
The defense is better, but it’s inconvenient to move and deploy!”
The heavy crossbows and thunder guns of the dwarves are the most suitable firearms for the dwarves that have been continuously optimized for thousands of years. Although the muskets of Cathay have advantages, they do not seem to be suitable.
As for that kind of giant cannon, although it has a large caliber but a short barrel, its power is about the same as that of a cannon. It requires oxen to pull it around, which is inconvenient.
"Your firearms are just mediocre! Don't you think there are more decent guys in the Cathay Empire? I heard from businessmen that they have some kind of figurines, do you have any for sale? I'm rich in gold..."
"Immeasurable Pure Treasure Heavenly Lord!"
"Sin, sin, sin!"
Before Snorri could finish his words, he was interrupted by the exclamations and shouts of others.
"You, you really have fulfilled the old saying, people should not be judged by their appearance! You are so tall, but you have a big appetite!" Linghu Zhengde almost started a personal attack, but he finally controlled it.
"The Imperial Guards of the Terracotta Warriors are only owned by the real Tongdu City. The lords can summon them after building the Tianguang Pavilion to monitor the world. As far as I know, in the entire Weidong Province, only Fuzhou City, where His Highness Yanglong is located, has them.
It’s the kind of artifact that can rule the country.”
"Those who do not know are not guilty, but it is best not to mention this matter again!" Zou Qilin set the tone.
"Then it seems we have nothing to talk about. You don't want to sell me armor weapons, do you?" Snorri knocked on the plate armor on his chest.
