Morning fog has never appeared in Wallkill City, because the city has never really fallen asleep from beginning to end, at least the irritating breath has penetrated deep into the streets and alleys.
Three carriages drove into the city gate from the north. The ice butterfly pattern was still ignored by the world. If it were not for the help of those few gold coins, it is estimated that the carriages would have to wait outside the city gate for a long time.
"You two come with me. The others will rest here. You can go out for a walk, but you must not provoke the goblins, especially the nobles."
The speaker was a chubby middle-aged woman, wearing a white bear leather armor, and the sword at her waist was studded with precious stones.
Belinda, the city lord of Changsuo City in the tundra continent, was one of the first direct descendants to support the Viking leader Ragnar, and was on good terms with the Boom brothers and sisters.
Belinda came to Wallkill City this time on Ragnar's order to exchange whale oil for artillery. The tundra continent is the main production area of whale oil, and this whale oil is an indispensable furnace for goblin airships.
Fuel. However, the goblins have never talked about it, only claiming that whale oil is a common magic experiment material.
The reason for doing this can not only hide the core secret of the goblin airship, but also keep the price of whale oil as low as possible. But this made the Vikings suffer. They traveled across the ice ocean to Wallkill City, but they were unable to harvest it.
Due reward.
"I am Belinda, the city lord of Changsuo City in the frozen continent. Please inform the financial officer of Wallkill City that the Vikings have arrived and the transaction can proceed as usual."
After Belinda waited for the carriage to stop, she jumped out and immediately stood outside the palace of Wallkill City. She came here on behalf of the Tundra Continent, so these words were very polite.
"Changsuo City? Permafrost Continent? Then please wait here for a moment. If the Financial Officer has time, he will naturally meet with you."
Hearing this, the guard glanced at the ice butterfly pattern on the carriage, and then replied coldly. He naturally knew the identity of the other party, but the frozen continent has been synonymous with "barren" and "barbaric" for thousands of years, so if it weren't for the other party
If you claim to be a city lord, you will probably be regarded as a fraud.
Belinda seemed to have expected this situation. She was not angry at all, and just stood there calmly waiting. However, as time passed by, not to mention the two Viking warriors around her, even
Many goblin nobles began to murmur and comment.
"I heard that he is some kind of city lord from the Tundra Continent. Does the Tundra Continent still have royal power now? Hasn't it long ago become King Augu's cesspool?"
"Who knows what the situation is, but the financial officer is busy with official duties, so he will not waste his time on these people."
"They're just barbarians. At best, they're part of the Austrian Continent. At worst, they're an abandoned group of exiles. If this person is really some kind of city lord, how can he stand here and be looked down upon by others?"
The discussions among the goblin nobles became louder and louder. Belinda did not move at all, but the two Viking warriors beside her touched their hands to the scimitars at their waists. This was not an insult, it was clearly an insult to the Vikings.
atrocities.
"I always believe that the people who can follow me here are smart, and their confidence comes from the heart, not the barking of cat and mouse."
There was no joy or anger in Belinda's eyes, but her voice sounded very gloomy. She had also imagined this scenario, but when it actually appeared, she found that all her previous self-comfort was in vain.
Arriving at the Rusty Plains at night, and stepping into the gate of Wallkill City at dawn. Belinda asked herself that the Vikings did not owe anything in their sincerity, and the remaining question was how to fulfill the king's entrustment. As for the so-called thing in front of her.
The humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold in the future.
"The Treasurer seems to have no time today, but fortunately he is kind-hearted and asked the three of them to make a long story short." The returning guard still had the same proud look. As he spoke, he gestured to Belinda and the others to enter the palace. p>
Belinda just nodded when she heard this. Although she was not a strong person, she felt that there was a ball of anger in her body at this moment, and this ball of anger was enough to burn down the entire city of Wallkill.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Wallkill City's financial officer finally took the lead and directly offered the price for the whale oil.
"Two hundred gold coins per pound? And our frozen continent is responsible for transportation?"
"Since the Financial Officer is busy with official duties, we'd better say goodbye now, so as not to waste each other's time anymore!"
After hearing this, Belinda stood up slowly and immediately planned to leave the living room. Although she was a female prostitute, she had been able to occupy the position of the Lord of Changsuo City for a long time, so she was certainly not a stupid person. This kind of price was simply a joke, if not
The priority is to trade with the goblins. The gold coins of Archduke Shayulu must have filled the cabin.
"Business is all about bargaining. If you can't accept the purchase price I offer, then you have to tell me your ideal expectations, right?"
Upon seeing this, the financial officer raised his hand and motioned for Belinda to sit down and chat. He thought these Vikings were idiots who were only interested in profit, so he had a blackmail mentality and planned to exploit them to the maximum extent.
It's just that he couldn't make a private decision on this deal, not even Wallkill City. So this was the Goblin King's intention, and in that official document, the Goblin King frankly stated that he wanted to satisfy the other party to the maximum extent. p>
And at the moment, the minister of Alchemy City is sitting next to this living room. If it is because of his relationship that he fails to purchase whale oil in the end, it is estimated that the position of Wallkill City's financial officer will have to be replaced.
"One hundred pounds of whale oil is exchanged for a goblin cannon, and you also need to equip fifty cannonballs!"
"I don't like to go around. This is my bottom line. If I can accept it, I can trade it immediately. If not, I will lead all my subordinates to leave the Rust River Plain immediately!"
Belinda did not sit down after hearing this, but spoke out her conditions in a deep voice. As she spoke, all the goblin guards in the living room began to emit waves of fighting spirit, and Belinda
The two Viking warriors beside Da clenched their scimitars even more tightly.
"Deal! But your frozen continent must ensure that you provide enough whale oil every year, otherwise the transaction will be void at any time!"
The finance officer of Wallkill City waved his hand and threw a prepared official document in front of Belinda, seemingly very displeased.
It is understandable that Wangcheng’s orders must be obeyed, but Wallkill City did not get any benefits from this transaction. Therefore, what the financial officer is considering now is not to continue to flatter Wangcheng, but to continue to flatter Wangcheng.
How to explain to the Lord of Wallkill City.
"These three storage bags contain all the whale oil. After I see the goblin artillery being transported to the port, I will naturally give it to you. During this time, I will live in Wallkill City, and I can do anything.
Come to me anytime."
Belinda nodded slightly, gave the other party a Viking salute, and then turned and left with her two subordinates. The finance officer of Wallkill City was unmoved upon seeing this, but after the other party's footsteps completely disappeared, this
A goblin financial officer who was always pampered raised his hand and broke the wine glass, gasping for air.
However, compared to his anger, the humiliation suffered by Belinda seemed to be more profound. You must know that Belinda is the city lord of the only two towns in the frozen continent, and her status is no different from that of an important official in the village. How can she be a small financial person?
The senses can be manipulated at will.
It's just that the development of the Tundra Continent is too backward, and the materials it possesses are pitiful, which has caused this situation just now, but the Vikings always believe that as long as Ragnar is king one day, the Tundra Continent will always be
