The "little green-skinned mouse" that Chopper calls is actually a courageous goblin businessman. It is said that he invested in a haunted gold mine a few years ago. As a result, the business failed and he went bankrupt. Then the goblin who was forced to have no other choice finally finally He did a crazy feat that was almost suicidal... He ran to the Black Hand Ogre tribe with the last iron pot left in his family, and then loudly threatened that you, the fat blue guys, would buy my iron pot. He just threw me into the pot and cooked it...
Although the ogres can barely be considered an "intelligent race", due to their overly simple brain structure and the fact that they are hungry for twenty hours a day and the other four hours are extremely hungry, no race on the continent is willing to follow them. They carried out business transactions, that is, some bold venture capitalists successfully conducted several exchanges of goods, using some extremely cheap and rough goods and weapons from the ogre tribe in exchange for a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry they looted, and suddenly became a big company. Rich men are often roasted and eaten on a whim by ogres with extremely poor memories. Just like people don't remember what the chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep they eat look like, in the eyes of ogres, guys of every race look similar.
This desperate goblin businessman made a self-defeating feat with the idea of success or failure. As a result, just when a group of hungry fat blue guys were about to enjoy the hot pot that he had dropped from the sky, they happened to meet someone with all their thoughts on their mind. The little ogre Goron was thinking about how to enrich the ogre's dinner table, but he was troubled that he didn't even have a handful of salt on hand.
So Goron took the death-by-death champion out of the big iron pot he had carried on his back, and then stuffed a large handful of garbage called "gold coins" that was shiny but could not be eaten or used. Entering the hands of this young goblin businessman who was covered in warm soup and vegetable leaves, his body was still trembling.
Gron bought his pot...

In the warehouses of the marauder tribes, especially the long-established ogre tribes, the garbage dump-like place is filled with countless treasures like a dragon's lair.
Gold coins, gems, equipment, luxury goods, everything is available.
But the problem is that attacking a prosperous ogre tribe is not much easier than attacking a dragon lair. Any adult ogre is the most dangerous warrior on the Blade Tower Continent. They are extremely powerful and thick-skinned. , and the dull pain sense and bloodthirsty ferocity make the ogre the most effective war machine that will not tire and will not stop killing until it is completely killed. In addition, the ogre's natural magic resistance skin , giant strength, tenacity, rage and other racial talents... In addition to the dragons and giants on the Blade Tower continent, it is difficult to imagine any other race that can fight alone with the ogre warriors.
Therefore, trading with the ogre means crazy profit returns, as well as the risk of death that may be used to feed the ogre at any time. No one would like to make a deal with an ogre unless they were cornered. But Tarkin Hillman was very lucky, because this young goblin met Goron. He was surprised to find that the little ogre he was communicating with, who was very unlike an ogre, turned out to be a very rational and... A rare breed that can control its emotions and appetite,
"I need refined salt, pepper, sesame oil, olive oil, sugar, and all the seasonings you can get. I will exchange them with you for gold coins of the same weight, no, ten times the weight. By the way, if you can still get it As for fabrics, I am also willing to trade with you. Oh, I want the strongest kind. The most important thing is that these fabrics must be large enough. I want to try making a few blankets... "
"At your service, my great 'God'."
In the accounts of historians much later, the meeting between the legendary goblin merchant Tarkin Hillman and the ogre king Gronn Blackhand was recorded in history and described as...
"The first evil bargain between a tyrant and the devil."
*************************************************** *************************************************** ***************
"My friend, my God, I am so happy to see you again~~~! I seem to smell the attractive fragrance of gold coins again~~~!"
Tarkin Hillman really likes the little ogre in front of him. If she were a woman, I'm afraid he would have been willing to marry himself to Goron. The reason is naturally that Goron made him go bankrupt from having to gamble to death. The businessman suddenly transformed and made a comeback, becoming one of the few richest men in the low tide port of Haishiwan, a trading center. Nothing makes a goblin happier than rediscovering lost wealth, all thanks to the Blackhand Ogre's nearly bottomless hoard of treasure. As for Goron's life-saving grace of taking him out of the pot, he had long been completely forgotten by the goblin.
The goblin merchant showed the goods he brought to Goron like a treasure: "Look at the twenty-seven spices and seasonings you ordered from me last time. There are the best pepper sesame oil and the best chili powder. , barbecue ingredients, and even black bean soy sauce and mint balsamic vinegar shipped from the mysterious Eastern country. These things may not be available to ordinary people, even royal nobles. Come and take a look, my friend, I guarantee you Will be very satisfied. ”
Gronn carefully inspected the goods. Although Tarkin Hillman had not fooled him with defective goods so far, among the countless stories he had heard, Gronn was impressed by the wisdom of the goblin merchants and their Cunning and greed have left an indelible impression on Gronn. For the sake of profit, these green-skinned rats are even willing to sacrifice their own lives, not to mention other things.
