"I believe that a goblin merchant might as well just give away his coffin." This sentence is also a proverb that has been circulating in the Dota continent for a long time. Gronn didn't want to become the idiot character described in a story.
In any case, Tarkin Hillman seems to cherish his relationship with this rare breed of Gronn. After all, he is the only link to the ogre's treasure that is comparable to a dragon. Although the goods brought by the goblin merchant may not be truly high-quality and cheap, they still have the most basic conscience. The things he brings are at least popular goods circulating in the market. Especially when it comes to the spices that Goron cares about most, there are indeed some rare and exquisite ones.
At least that's the case most of the time...
"The chili pepper this time... is not native to Sisippi Island." Goron spat out the remains of the chili pepper that he had chewed a few times in his mouth, and said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Didn't I say that I only want chili peppers from Sisippi Island?" Is it the 'hot girl' from the island?" As long as it is almost usable as other products, Goron is very picky about condiments. After all, he also has the professional dignity of being an "ogre chef".
Seeing the dissatisfied look on Goron's face, the goblin merchants suddenly panicked. After all, this was not only a matter of life safety, but also related to the possibility of offending the largest trade customer.
"No, no, no, no, no... My best friend, gold coins above, I swear to you, I definitely didn't mean to fool you with the red pepper produced in Sfenbabu Manor. It's really because Xixi not long ago The island of Sisibi was attacked by a ghost ship. There are no commercial ships going there anymore, and the peppers from Sisibi Island are completely out of stock~~~!
"Ghost ship? Is it the legendary ghost pirate ship 'Rainbow Bird' that has existed for hundreds of years? Please tell me in detail!" Goron's story addiction was instantly aroused, and the pepper incident was Being thrown out of his mind, he grabbed the goblin businessman who was only as high as his calf and shook him hard. However, it seems that it is difficult for him to enjoy the fun of the story today.
A big hand stretched out from Goron's side, grabbed the goblin businessman's head with just two fingers, and lifted him up. It's just like an ordinary person picking up a grape.
"Let me go! Let me go! You rude fat man, Goron! Goron, my friend, please save me. For the sake of our friendship, for the sake of the light emitted by the gold coins, I I am willing to reduce the transaction price of peppers by half, no, 0.30%, as long as you let this stupid guy put me down immediately! I swear to the gold coins, my head will be crushed by him~~~!"
Goron smiled bitterly, knowing that he would not be able to hear any more stories today, because the "Dead Blue Fatty" who suddenly appeared was none other than the war leader of one of the three chiefs of the Black Hand tribe, the one-eyed ogre King Mogar.
"Hahahahahaha... He's here, ask him if you have the stick, hammer, iron pieces, and clothes. Goron boy, ask him quickly!"
Looking at the tribal leader who only had a silly smile but couldn't even speak clearly, Goron shook his head and sighed. He rescued the goblin businessman whose head had really begun to deform from King Mogar's warm and friendly greeting, and then Asked him: "Our great leader of the Black Hand tribe, King Mogar, wants to ask you, did you get the oversized weapons and armor that ogres can use that I ordered from you last time?"
"This... this..." The goblin businessman began to rub his hands together, his eyes wandering, with a troubled look on his face. The anger he felt at the previous moment had long since disappeared, and he knew that he had not gotten Gron and Items commissioned by King Mogar, as what the fighting race needs most... Weapons and equipment.
Ogres can be said to be one of the warrior races with the best innate conditions on the Dota Continent. They are strong, they are resistant to exercise, and they are fearless. As long as they are fed and slept well, they can become top killing machines without deliberate exercise. ...Ogres have countless advantages, but in fact they are not invincible. Putting aside the mental factor, the main reason lies in the equipment... Ogres are also the warrior race with the worst equipment in the entire continent. , and there is no one.
Take the tauren, whose physical condition is relatively close to that of the ogres, for example. As the race best at cultivating the land on the Dota continent, the tauren are also famous for being strong men and big men. And once the madness is aroused, the tauren warrior carrying the totem pole into the battlefield will also turn into a death machine with red eyes crushing the war. But it is worth mentioning that the reputation of the tauren is hundreds of thousands of times better than that of the ogres who rely on robbery. It can be said that they are a typical example of people who do not offend me and I will not offend others, so although they are not good at Metal casting, but you can use crops to exchange for a large number of excellent weapons from merchants. Merchants like to do business with tauren, which is not only lucrative, but also safe.
Tauren warriors are also the most popular heavy infantry on the road. They are not only powerful, but also brave and fearless. They can be seen in both tribal regular armies and human mercenaries. If it weren't for their natural dislike of fighting, the entire tauren family might have already become professional warriors. And not long ago, the Tauren tribe successfully joined the Red Wasteland Tribal Alliance and became one of its core races.
And the ogres... Due to their bad reputation and even worse recipes, almost all races and countries have banned the sale of any weapons and equipment to the ogres. The crime is even worse than selling hallucinogens. serious. Coupled with the difference in body size, most of the weapons and equipment robbed by the ogres cannot be used. The weapons are as small as toothpicks, and the armor cannot be worn at all. Therefore, most ogre warriors can only tie them casually on vital parts of their bodies. Some iron pots and shields serve as armor, and some iron spikes and large iron nails are nailed to large hard wooden sticks as weapons, which makes you shiver as much as you say. The ogres have wealth comparable to that of a dragon's lair, but they are unable to turn it into real power.
After Gronn got acquainted with the goblin merchant Tarkin Hillman, he thought of using him to get some real weapons and equipment for the Black Hand Ogres. After all, Gronn was a member of the Black Hand tribe, so he naturally wanted to The tribe has become more powerful, and more importantly, Hakulili's birthday is coming soon. From the story, Goron knows that this day is very important for children, so he also wants to get a set of decent weapons and equipment as a gift to his relatives. birthday gift. Of course, the most important thing is that as long as King Mogar can be made happy, no one will dare to disturb him from listening to 'Food' tell stories...
