"My lord, Messenger Shayeru is already outside. Do you think you should ask him to come here now, or..." the old servant said softly while filling the wine glass for the man sitting in the solid gold chair.
This is the palace hall of Wallkill City. The nearly 50-meter-long dome is covered with legends that are familiar to the world. The vivid and meticulous painting makes demons ferocious, angels holy, and wild beasts violent. But if you look carefully,
, will definitely end up with mixed feelings, because one side of the dome depicts the legends of the gods, while the other side sings the praises of the gods of the past.
This situation is at best "tolerant" and at worst "nondescript and blasphemous". It is estimated that no one except the goblins who fanatically advocate the power of science and technology would decorate the palace like this. As for everything else
The things seemed very ordinary, such as soft wool carpets, exquisite candlesticks, and lifelike marble sculptures.
"Tell him to come in. There happens to be some leftover food on the table. I hope he doesn't mind." The man stuffed a small piece of venison into his mouth and ordered nonchalantly.
This person's name is Prazel, the "honorary knight", the lord of Wallkill City. He is the right-hand man of the Goblin King, or the supporter of the goblin taxation. As for the so-called "honorary knight", it is Prazel
Zell used millions of crystal coins to buy a false reputation from the Holy Cross Guild, because he was not a professional at all.
Prazel represents the fact that many goblins, or the real developers of goblin technology, are in the hands of a few people. This is just like professionals and ordinary people, one is classified as the lucky one, and the other is not.
We can only be the denominator and try to live a better life.
In his early years, Plazer was just a speck of dust in the "denominator", but he was unwilling to do nothing all his life. He climbed from a commoner to the position of city lord of the three major cities of the goblin clan. But everyone only
They will pay attention to his achievements, but no one will pay attention to his countless days and nights of painstaking study.
There is only one direction for Plazer's research, and that is how to let the goblins gather more gold coins. Therefore, in the past ten years, he not only read the autobiographies of countless successful businessmen of the Principality of Shayul, but also read
Comments from many scholars of the Principality of Moroniel.
With this perseverance, Plazer passed the written examination of Alchemy City Academy, eliminated all the children of aristocratic families who claimed to be smart-minded, and finally stepped into the hall with his head held high to accept the final test of Sal Apollo. He was implanted in his body.
Poison is not important. Becoming under the control of the Goblin King is a long-cherished wish that has been expected for many years. Three years after Prazel was personally trained by the financial officer in Alchemy City, he set off for Wallkill City to replace the elderly man.
The tall old city lord.
Time passes day by day, and the gears of destiny rub against each other. The city of Wallkill, which was originally content with the status quo, is undergoing a silent transformation. The city walls are torn down and expanded again and again, and the volume of the treasury is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.<
/p>
The young boy married the only daughter of a noble family, and a son and a daughter were born. The palace was rebuilt with the acquiescence of Alchemy City. The night airship shuttled back and forth between the two cities, and Wallkill City's treasury was emptied time and time again.
, but it is abundant again and again.
Plazer's desire for gold coins has never diminished, but has become more and more passionate. But after years of precipitation, he has also changed his behavior little by little, becoming more and more stable, or in other words unwilling to lose anything.
Benefits.
But one night in a certain year, Plazer's wife and two children died tragically at home. The wife's body was reduced to charcoal, and the twins still maintained their embrace, but they could no longer cry out. That night, three goblin airships took off at the same time, just because of the breath of psykers in the room, just because of the pain of being betrayed by their allies. However, the owl of Alchemy City fell outside the war fortress, and the orcs blew the sound
After picking up the horn, Plazer bit his lip and regarded the other party as his mortal enemy from then on.
But he didn't know that the orc oracle's sigh for proof echoed under the night. Everything was just a conspiracy of the goblin king, and it was just the most shameless way to control his subordinates. The strong orc scorned this, but
Because of their different positions, it was difficult to remind the Lord of Wallkill City. Naturally, the Goblin King and the three ministers would not have any explanation, because the more tragic the results of the imperial technique, the happier they would be.
"I've met Lord Prazel, the Lord of Wallkill City."
"I came to the Rust River Plains on the order of Grand Duke Shayulu, hoping to establish a deeper friendship with you and at the same time bring about several transactions that are beneficial to both parties."
The envoy of the Principality of Shayeru was introduced into the main hall by an old servant. He gracefully gave a noble salute and then said with a smile on his face. There is only one reason for him to come to Wallkill City this time, and that is to purchase magic cannons from the other party.
, as for other transactions, they are just excuses to cover up.
Grand Duke Shayeru is a smart man, and his intelligence network is not inferior to that of the Dark Elves. Therefore, the Octopus Spider's attitude towards the future is very clear, that is, to find the final winner in advance, and to seek the maximum in the process.
benefits.
However, the strength of the nine principalities and the Augu Royal City are not comparable, whether it is the peak powerhouse or the material reserves. Therefore, the Principality of Shayeru hopes to purchase some magic cannons. As long as the goblins relent, no matter how much crystal they pay,
Coins are also accepted.
"I can commit to these transactions now, and Wallkill City can also pay for the goods in advance. This is a testament to the friendship between us."
"But if you plan to purchase magic cannons, you need to go to Alchemy City in person. I can't decide this kind of thing, or in other words, no one is worthy of making a commitment except Lord Sal Apollo."
As Plazer spoke, he signed several trade orders with a quill pen. In the end, he returned these items to the other party, but he never touched the documents about the magic cannon transaction. p>
The magic cannons on the Augu continent can only be used exclusively by King Augu. This is an agreement between the goblins and King Augu, so Plazer would never dare to agree to such a thing in private.
"As far as I know, your magic cannons are also graded. The Principality of Shayeru does not expect to purchase the same magic cannons as yours, nor does it expect to have the same quality as King Ogu." p>
"As long as it can protect itself, the Principality of Sayeru will try to complete this deal no matter how high the price is. And if you can understand this sincerity, the Principality of Sayeru will pay a deposit in advance and ten orc psychic shamans
Full!"
The envoy from the Principality of Shayeru just smiled when he heard this, and then directly showed his trump card. Because he knew the weakness of the Lord of Wallkill City, which was his hatred of the orc psychic shaman.
Prazel's knife froze in mid-air for an instant. He slowly raised his head and looked at the other person for the first time. The old servant beside him quietly left the hall, as if he didn't want to hear any words that would hurt the goblins. p>
Time passed minute by minute, and after more than two hours, the envoy from the Principality of Shayer left the palace, with a storage bag embroidered with a wrench pattern on his waist. Plazer sat silently at the dining table, holding his wife's brooch
The palm was pricked, and the blood dripped into the wool blanket, like a flower blooming out of thin air.
