Chapter 422: Cunning Goblin
After a series of methodical instructions were issued, the entire Ellington instantly entered another state, from the previous busy construction to a first-level combat readiness state in the blink of an eye.
"Are you too nervous?"
Egwin looked at Don with a puzzled expression: "Even if you don't make a move, you still have so many elemental creatures here, and there is also that elemental lord, there is no problem at all." β
Of course, there is no need for Don to be so nervous, in fact, although the scale of this beast tide is very large, the worst case is just a failure in training, which will not hurt Ellington's foundation at all.
As Egwin said, now Ellington not only has Donn, but also her who came to observe the situation, in addition to them, there is also the elemental lord Dikarios, just the elemental army it summons at will, it can easily crush the beast tide.
Don smiled, pointed to the busy warriors in the distance, and said, "Of course I'm not nervous, but I'm going to make them nervous." β
It's like he's playing the Civilization series with a plug-in, and Ellington has basically been invincible (relatively) from the beginning, all he has to do is to change the magic technology, raise the average level of others, and then pull (flat) (push) the whole world, and when the chaos army arrives, use all kinds of magic weapons and equipment to paste their bears' faces.
The tide of twisting beasts, Tang En really didn't pay attention to it.
But only when he gets nervous, the fighters below will take this matter seriously, so the way to do it is still to be done.
Egwen suddenly realized: "I understand. β
Because the average combat power of the forest elves is very strong, it was really difficult for Egwyn to understand Donn's thoughts at first.
"Although there have been cases of animal tide riots in the past, this year is particularly obvious and sudden."
Egwin accompanied Don around Ellington, the warriors already setting up their defenses, and Don frowned slightly and shook his head secretly when he saw the rudimentary traps they had arranged.
Egwin continued: "And I feel that this beast tide is a little strange, their desire to hunt is not strong, and the seemingly chaotic actions have a faint pattern, I always have an ominous premonition. β
"Ominous premonition? Are you worried that these monsters are contaminated by Chaos? β
"If that's fine, just purify it, but now I feel like they're being hit by something...... Stimulate. β
Egwin thought for a moment before finding an adjective, nodded and said with certainty, "That's right, it looks like I've been stimulated and provoked." β
"Enraged? Someone deliberately provoked them? β
Don asked casually, and led Egwin to the Oak Heart Tavern.
"I'm not sure, I've been patrolling the forest for days, and I haven't found any suspicious traces, and if someone really did it on purpose, I'm afraid their strength is not weak."
Egwin pinched a ball of snow, pinched it a few times, and turned into a lifelike cute little figure, she handed it to Done, and smiled, "Like you?" β
Don was flattered to take the snowman, and when he saw the Q version of himself, he was very surprised: "You still make this kind of doll?" β
Egwin said very happily: "This art method was taught to me by Sanye, it's really strange, it's obviously exaggerated, but I can recognize who it is, after she taught me, I liked it." β
Tang En's heart moved, and he also grabbed a ball of snow, and the magic power accurately shaped a cute little figure of Egwen, and then the runes in his hands flickered, and the surging spell energy was poured into it, and a constant freezing spell was fixed on it: "There are no artistic cells, so it's impossible to do it yourself, use magic instead." β
Egwin took the villain and said happily, "It's like me, thank you." β
"I'll treasure it."
Tang En solemnly also fixed an ice spell on the villain, and then put it into the carry-on space.
In order to save the two snowman dolls, he did not hesitate to consume mana to keep the spell, and I am afraid that only a guy like Don En would dare to be so extravagant.
After putting away the snowman doll, Donn continued, "If someone did it on purpose, what was their purpose? Destroying the Emerald Forest? Destroy Salamar? Or Ellington? β
Egwin shook his head, "I'm not sure, Salamar has already been evacuated, and the beast tide will crush directly from there." β
"Looks like the target is me."
Don shrugged, took a stand outside the Heart of Oak, and shouted at the tavern, "Garion, Eldraine Kamanda, there's business coming to you!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crackling sound upstairs in the tavern, and when Eldra Kamanda opened the window and saw Donn, he waved his hand very happily, and then jumped out of the window and landed on the ground lightly: "Oh, oh, Lord Donn, you are so polite, and you have come to take care of our voice again, what do you need to buy this time?" For the sake of our relationship, I can give you a twenty-percent discountβ"
"Eldraine Kamanda!"
Garion screamed and rushed out of the tavern, "Don't mess around! Don't forget that I'm in charge of the business! β
"Oh, you're too stingy, what's the deal with once in a while......"
"Do you think it's that easy to feed your dragons!?"
Garion shouted at the top of his voice, "If it weren't for your high commission, we would be so calculating!?" β
"Uh......"
Eldraine Kamanda surrendered: "Come on. β
"Ahem, Lord Donn, what do you want to buy this time? Let's talk about it in advance, what this guy just said doesn't count, it's impossible to get 80% off, but 9.8% off can be considered. β
Seeing Garion's pained face, Don only felt like a hairless Grande.
Don patted his head, as if he had inadvertently remembered something, and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that the tax return that Fiona showed me yesterday was missing the tax payable by someone......
Garion, who was full of smiles, suddenly froze there, and after a pause, he said quickly: "I remember, Lord Don is a VIP of our Enclave Risk Control Company, and he can enjoy a nine-percent discount." β
As if he hadn't heard him, Don said to Egwyn, "I think there should be an additional tax on the trade of dangerous goods in our territory, what do you think?" β
"Me?"
Egwen looked at Don stupidly, "I don't know, but you thought of it, so it should be fine." β
"Your Lord! Your Lord! Why bother! β
Garion leaned in with a smiling face and said, "Eight points and eight folds!" I'll give you 8.8% off! β
"In addition to the tax on the trade in dangerous goods, it seems that a criminal offence of selling military goods without a license should be added......"
Garion almost wanted to scold her mother when she heard the words - you sold it because you wanted to buy me, right!? Selling to a lord is also considered a sale of military goods without permission!?
"Twenty fold! Couldn't go any lower! No matter how low it is, I won't sell it at a loss! β
"That's what it sounds like."
Donn bent down and patted Garion's head with a smile...... Uh, shoulder, said with a pleasant face: "Small profits and quick sales are the goals that businessmen should pursue, let the huge profits or something die." β
"Small profits but quick turnover, that's right, small profits but quick turnover!"
Garion accompanied the smiling face, but scolded in his heart.
Treacherous humans!
Cunning goblins!
Tang En was also scolding Garion in his heart, the goblins are really not ordinary treacherous, they can be sold at a twenty percent discount, and it is estimated that he earned 500,000 gold coins by buying a magic iron bomb a few days ago!
"So, what does the lord need this time?"
Garion immediately took out a notebook and looked at Don with a wistful expression, hoping that he would ask for a batch of big guys.
"Trigger bomb...... Well, or landmines. β
Donn said, "How many? β
Garion asked rhetorically, "How much do you want?" β
It's the same sentence again......
"Where's the offer?"
"The retail price of a leprosy type 3 mine is 100 ...... Ah, two hundred gold coins, and if you get twenty percent off, that's one hundred and sixty gold coins. β
Don sneered and turned to leave.
"Lord Huh!?"
"Garion, do you think I'm stupid? If you do this again, I'll find someone else to work with. β
"I see! I'll admit I want to make more! β
Garion surrendered: "A gold coin of eighty coins, vomiting blood, a big sale!" β
Tang En waved his hand: "Let's have a thousand pieces to inspect the goods first." β
Five hundred Leprosy Type III mines are only 80,000 gold coins, but they can set a tight blockade outside the forest west of Ellington and wipe out a large number of trash fish, which is a good example of good quality and low price.
"Are there any projectile bombs other than mines?"
"Absolutely! Small and portable Meteor II grenade, the best companion for hunting, produced by goblins, good quality and low price! β
"How's it powering?"
"Ugh."
Garion said a little embarrassed: "The first-order demonic beast is killed in seconds, the second-order can only be seriously injured, and the third-order demonic beast is difficult to cause damage, if it is an apocalypse, a bronze-level apocalypse who has mastered the power of blood and qi can avoid the explosion......"
ββ¦β¦β
Don was silent for a moment, and now he finally understood why after the birth of the Divine Creation Race, the gnomes and goblins were so miserable in Purandar - they were proud of their explosive technology, and they were not afraid of even the most ordinary bronze-level apocalypse, so why should they compete with humans for the dominance of the world?
"I'm sorry for you......"
Don sighed, compared to the people on Earth, goblins and gnomes are the races that have chosen the difficulty of hell.
Sympathy is sympathy, but business is business, and Don is not stupid to give them money, and now Ellington's economy is strained.
After some haggling, Don purchased a total of 1,000 Leprosy III mines, 5,000 Meteor II grenades, 500 experimental paralysis grenades, codenamed Lightning, and 200 Magic Iron Bombs.
These added up to more than one million gold coins for Donn, but this time it was discounted by eight, which saved a lot of money, and with Garion's investment in Ellington in the later period, the money spent would return to Donn sooner or later.
This one in and one out has added millions of gold coins to Ellington's GDP! (To be continued.) )
