Infinite Bloodcore
Chapter 218: Heartache and cheap sale
Huantong thought for a moment, first activated his golden eye, and once again investigated the most valuable bombardment targets around the new island.
As a result, the primary target is the dragon boy and his party!
The secondary target was his city lord's palace.
"I have gold-level treasures in my treasury to cover and protect my property."
"The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group has brought a lot of money, and they probably want to trade with me!"
Huntong guessed the purpose of the dragon boy and his party.
He immediately flew down.
If the Golden Shining was in good condition, he might slightly lower the height of the flying magic ship and invite the dragon boy and others to visit as a silent intimidation and showoff.
But after the melee, the deck of the Golden Shining was full of holes. Only half of the main condenser turret was left, and only one of the other five condenser turrets was left. It was very miserable.
In this state, if you still want to use the spaceship to show off, you will undoubtedly be humiliating yourself.
Huntong didn't want to entertain Long Fu and others in the city lord's palace.
Because the gate of the city lord's mansion is being blocked by a group of troublemaking businessmen.
It was too embarrassing for them to see this scene, and it really damaged his dignity.
"Since these people want to trade with me, the money I get from the transaction cannot be seen by those businessmen." Huntong still has this concern.
Based on the above, he had no choice but to take the initiative to come to the door and intercept the group of people halfway.
So, not long after the dragon boy and others walked out of the pier, they saw the faint pupils flying down.
"Lord." The dragon boy and others bowed and saluted.
Huntong put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and showed the majesty of a noble.
But in the eyes of the dragon boy and others, his eyes were red, his face was pale, his eyes were dull, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
"He already knows that the treasure at the bottom of the sea has disappeared." The dragon boy thought to himself.
Hutong's actions just now were detected by the Deep Sea Monster Fish, and Zidi communicated with them in real time.
Looking at the dim eyes in front of him, the dragon boy couldn't help but recall the first time they met.
At that time, Hutong had a calm attitude and looked down with aristocratic elegance. It is in sharp contrast to the current state of being strong on the outside and strong on the inside.
Zong Ge's eyes showed vigilance.
If Huntong knew that the dragon and lion mercenary group in front of him was the one who took away the treasure from the bottom of the sea, then he would definitely tear himself alive.
Huntong glanced at the group of people in front of him, tried his best to maintain the aristocratic demeanor, and said to the dragon boy: "I see that your direction is towards the city lord's palace. Are you here to find me?"
"Exactly." The dragon man boy took advantage of the situation and confessed his purpose: the dragon and lion mercenary group was leaving Eye Island. This time they came to see the lord, on the one hand, to say goodbye, and on the other hand, for the purpose of making a deal.
"Are you leaving Eye Island now?" Huntong sighed, really reluctant to leave.
He also wanted to recruit this group of people, especially Lion Banner.
His eyes stayed on Shiqi, but there was no trace of nostalgia in the latter's eyes.
Huntong's heart dropped.
He felt short of breath.
If he had harvested the treasure under the sea, he would have already decided to spend a lot of money on it and hire the Lion Banner with all his strength, or even the entire Dragon and Lion mercenary group.
But now...he is poor.
No more confidence.
The group of talents in front of him were already beyond his reach.
He was even a little annoyed just now. Why did he pay so much to the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group last night?
"To be honest, the war has just ended. Your group has also suffered a lot of losses. It is better to rest on the new island for a few days. Before going to sea, it is best to be safe." Hutong persuaded.
But the dragon boy already had a perfect excuse.
He turned slightly sideways, revealing the dwarf stone behind him.
He explained to Huantong: "Lord, in the previous melee, we made a group of sincere comrades."
"Now, Meng Shi has joined our group. But his tribe was taken away by the mysterious necromancer."
"So, we must leave the island as soon as possible and try our best to rescue his clan members, our comrades in arms!"
Huntong was surprised and raised his brows slightly.
In his opinion: The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group was originally composed of impure people, and now it actually introduced dwarves. For a silver-level combat prowess? The risks of this transaction are unpredictable, and the pros and cons will depend on the future.
Menshi looked at the back of the dragon boy, his heart filled with gratitude.
He was worried about his own people, but he also knew the importance and never expressed it, urging the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group to save people.
Because he knew that it was already very rare for others to take the risk of fighting the Necromancer to rescue members of his family.
Is he a man who doesn't know what's good and what's good, and who takes advantage of others?
of course not!
Kuangshi consciously needs to be measured.
But he didn't expect that he was told by the dragon boy early this morning that the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group had a brief discussion last night and that in order to save his people, they would leave the island today and pursue them!
Gratitude was like a tide, instantly flooding Menshi's heart.
He decided on the spot to join the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group and let the young dragon man drive him.
At this time, seeing Hutong's eyes falling on him, Menshi snorted in his heart: "He must think that I took the initiative to sell myself to the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group in order to save my own people."
"Hmph, even if such a human race is at the gold level, it will never be as good as the leader of the dragon suit!"
Menshi doesn't like Hutong.
His people were sold as slaves at the auction on Eye Island.
Huntong glanced at Menshi and saw Chi Lai in the crowd.
Before, he didn't have much interest in Chi Lai at the auction.
It's different now.
He only has two Silver-level players left, and neither of them is reliable.
His current thinking is: Although a silver-level subordinate like Chi Lai is not perfect and does not fit in with the island and himself, if he becomes his subordinate now, he can help the island survive the emptiness period!
Unfortunately, the opportunity has been lost.
Chi Lai has become a member of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.
Huntong felt more and more regretful, and suddenly another thought popped out: "After the melee, all parties suffered huge losses. However, the lineup of the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group became stronger than before. These guys... are really lucky. good."
Huntong didn't know yet that there was Master Qingxin on board the Tiegeda.
Thinking of this, he felt more and more attractive about the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.
It would be great to keep this group of people on Two Eyes Island!
Even if only one or two silvers are left, it will be extremely beneficial.
Although she had no expectations in her heart, Huantong still managed to laugh and made a final attempt: "In detail, Lion Banner has conveyed my intention. Regarding my proposal last night, how did the leader of the Dragon Service think about it?"
The dragon boy sighed deeply: "I'm sorry, Lord."
"Double Eye Island is indeed a treasure. Under your management, it will surely be prosperous again, far more than before."
"The Lord's sincerity is really touching. Unfortunately, we can't help ourselves."
The dragon boy declined politely.
Huntong nodded, this response was not unexpected.
He had a heavy look on his face, especially when he saw the treasure chest behind the dragon boy, and thought of his "sincerity" last night, his heart ached even more.
The dragon boy took out a list and handed it to Huntong: "This is the material our group wants to purchase from the lord this time."
Dim Tong glanced around and saw a lot of coral materials, as well as fragrant cheek tea, sea ships, etc.
One of the specialties of Double Eye Island is various corals. Because Double Eye Island itself is a huge coral ball tree.
Fragrant cheek tea is the result of Huantong's deliberate investment and after countless failures.
"Your group is indeed very discerning." Huantong praised the dragon boy, but he was actually praising himself.
"Hmm, Water Pig Man?" Huantong was slightly startled when he saw the back of the list.
He immediately recalled that he had indeed bought a group of orc slaves at the auction.
This group of slaves is the water pig people.
They came from the villages in the upper reaches of the Sancai River and were captured by the human slave-catching team and became slaves.
In the original purchase plan of the survivors, Zonge had great ideas about this group of water pigs.
At that time, he listed many advantages of the Water Pig people.
"We need this group of water pigs. Their bloodline is very suitable for the Backwater Dou Qi Jue. I not only know how to practice this Dou Qi Jue, but I also understand how to create a Backwater team."
"With these water pigs, we will have first-class sailors."
"Water pigs are easy to feed and don't choose what they eat. They can catch fish by themselves, and usually every adult water pig is a master of fishing. When they are hungry, they can even eat river sand to satisfy their hunger. Their stomachs are very powerful. I can barely digest it.”
"During naval battles, we have a brand new attack route - we can let water pigs attack enemy ships in the water."
"Water-backing Qi allows people to move in the water for a long time. After giving it to Water Pig people, it will make them even more powerful."
However, due to the sudden appearance of Qingxin, the survivors invested heavily in buying the blond mother and son and other human slaves. In the end, they were no longer as good as Hutong and missed out on the water pig people.
Now, the survivors are completely rich and have made a very considerable war fortune.
Therefore, he came to propose an acquisition intention to Huantong again.
Huntong thought about it.
He originally purchased these Water Pig slaves because the price was right, but by the end of the auction, everyone's financial resources were exhausted.
Second, water pigs are very suitable for the island environment that is constantly sinking and rising.
But things are different now.
Double Eye Island suffered heavy losses.
Half of the Silver-level soldiers were killed, and the City Guards suffered heavy losses and needed to be rebuilt.
These extra water pig slaves have become a hidden danger in this environment.
In Huntong's view: These are orcs and need to be strictly disciplined.
Now, Double Eye Island has no spare capacity to discipline these orcs.
Thinking of this, Huntong said: "This is embarrassing for me. When I bought these water pig people, I naturally didn't intend to sell them."
"To be honest, if anyone else had made this request, I would have said no immediately."
"But... if you want your group, I'm willing to sell you a favor, as long as the price is right."
This is businessman talk.
Now that the treasure under the sea is gone and the Dragon and Lion mercenary group comes to the door, of course Huntong will not miss this good opportunity.
He will go all out to negotiate this deal and try to obtain as much valuable funds as possible.
According to the previous arrangement, the dragon boy did not speak, and Zong Ge stood up: "Lord, this deal was proposed by me."
"I have some interest in water pig people, it's just a personal interest."
"The group tolerated me, so I added this item to the transaction list."
"I can only offer this amount. If it exceeds this, I can't afford it." Zong Ge raised his palm and stretched out four fingers.
For a moment, Huntong became angry.
"The price I paid for it is much more than your quote!"
Zong Ge retracted his hand, shook his head, and retreated into the crowd: "Then I can't afford it. I won't buy it."
"Huh?" Huntong was stunned for a moment.
Zong Ge didn't play according to common sense, which put him at a disadvantage.
Normally, you should give it a try and raise a price.
Why don't you buy it?
At this time, the dragon boy stood up and smoothed things over: "Lord, please don't blame Shiqi. He is such a person, straightforward. This price is indeed all his personal savings and the limit of his financial resources."
"I understand." Huntong nodded, looking at Zong Ge with more and more admiration.
He took the opportunity and said: "Lion Banner, if you join Eye Island, I will give these water pig people to you for free!"
Zong Ge smiled bitterly and shook his head.
When the dragon boy saw Huntong looking straight at Zong Ge, he took a step forward and blocked his gaze with his body.
"Let's do this." The dragon boy said, "I will pay for it personally and add a price to the lion flag."
Huntong's face darkened: "Even if I add the money, it's still not enough for my previous purchase price. Leader of the Dragon Service, if you want to retain people's hearts, relying on just this little money is not enough."
He took the opportunity to use Zong Ge as an excuse to oppress the dragon boy, trying to get him to increase the price.
The dragon boy gritted his teeth and added one more time.
When Hutong continued to speak, Zonge interjected: "Commander, forget it, I'm just a little interested in these water pigs. "
"That's it..." The dragon boy sighed.
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be giving up, Huantong's eyelids suddenly jumped.
How can this be done?
These water pigs have to sell to get funds.
Huntong also sighed: "That's it."
"We're all friends."
"Just pay the last price! To be honest, I have never made such a loss-making transaction. But you, Lion Flag, are different. I am happy to sell it to you like this."
As he said this, Huntong's heart ached again.
The price is mind-boggling.
The dragon boy and Zong Ge looked at each other, both thinking: Zidi's arrangement is really effective!
