The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

"If it really doesn't work, we can only kill them all."

He has already boasted, and asking Xu Lai to go to those slave traders and sell them for 2,300 gold coins would be a slap in his face.

Although the price of 2,300 gold coins, multiplied by a base of more than 10,000, is also several million gold coins, it is a pity to kill them.

But Xu Lai can't just keep the army here and do nothing because of these orcs.

If he just kills them, Xu Lai will feel a little distressed. After racking his brains, he finally thinks of a way to sell these orc slaves together.

The teleportation arrays of Wanshi City and Qingfeng City have been opened for a long time, otherwise Wei Yihong and others would not be able to rush here in such a short time.

But after all, there are not many merchants coming, and they are not comprehensive enough.

These merchants want to eat up all of Xu Lai's goods. They must not have such sufficient economic strength, but it would be okay if they just pay a deposit.

The merchants wanted to gather the goods first, and then distribute them among themselves after getting them.

But Xu Lai didn't buy it. He had sufficient reserve funds and was not in a hurry to get money, so these merchants couldn't control him.

He never took deposits. He took as much goods as he had. If he wanted to buy popular goods, such as the materials from the Behemoth, he had to meet certain requirements.

This was also a method Xu Lai learned from modern society. In modern society, if something is popular, it is not easy to buy.

Even if it can be bought, it must be forced to match some goods that are not so easy to sell.

Xu Lai didn't like this kind of bundled sales before, but now that the chair under his butt has changed, he instantly likes this plan.

For this reason, Xu Lai not only moved the claws of the Behemoth to sell, but also took out some of the materials from the black dragons before.

In addition, the one-eyed giant can absorb the power of the earth, and the heart of the thunderbird can store and release the power of thunder and lightning.

Xu Lai brought out all the good stuff, just to take away the more than 10,000 orcs that he was reluctant to kill.

"A pair of claws needs to be matched with an orc above level 5, or provide 10,000 units of food.

I must emphasize that the 10,000 units of food must be sent to the Stone City. We will not recognize it if you bring it to Qingfeng City."

Wei Yihong was nagging and negotiating with the merchants who wanted to buy Behemoth materials.

Although it was called negotiation, in fact, the merchants only had two choices: buy or not. If they bought, a level 5 orc was priced at 500 gold, a level 6 orc was priced at 800 gold, and a level 7 was 1,000 gold.

At this price, it can be sold, but it is not sure whether it can make money, as there are more accidents.

Not to mention that the orcs resisted in the middle, even if they ran away in the middle, these merchants would lose a lot.

Of course, they would not take too much, so it would be easier for them to sell it than the slave merchants who bought in large quantities.

If they did not buy, they could make money on both goods, so it was a pity to give up like this.

Wei Yihong provided them with two options. If they did not buy orcs, they would need to sell grain.

Grain is something that can be harvested in 24 hours of cultivation. It is not expensive in this world. At least compared with the freight, it is too cheap.

Xu Lai had negotiated several large deals with several grain merchants before, but they were only willing to transport the grain to Qingfeng City.

Xu Lai thought that Qingfeng City and nearby cities would need to accommodate hundreds of thousands of believers, and they would also need a large amount of grain seeds.

Moreover, the next war would definitely be centered on Qingfeng City or Fort Conaston, so it was necessary to stockpile a large amount of grain here.

However, in addition to Qingfeng City, new cities and fields to the west of Wanshi City would need more grain.

Xu Lai could also organize people for transportation, but his Qingfeng City only had two caravans.

Even if it was hired, he could not organize too many people at once, and the mercenaries were all kidnapped to Wanshi City by him.

Therefore, Wei Yihong proposed the method of exchanging grain for goods.

Xu Lai and his team can afford the transportation costs, but they can't find enough manpower, so they need these caravans to help.

The grain price given by Wei Yihong is still relatively reasonable. Although it takes thousands of kilometers to transport more, the whole grassland has been peaceful after all.

Xu Lai also specially allowed these caravans to carry his flag when transporting grain.

In this way, the cities along the way dare not make things difficult.

The problems of banditry and exploitation have been solved. The thousands of kilometers of flat roads are the easiest problems to overcome in this magic world.

Of course, there are also merchants who like adventure and choose to take away some orcs.

However, most of them choose orcs of level 5 and 6. They would rather accept a level 4 orc for 500 gold coins than a level 7.

Moreover, Xu Lai sells pure orcs, and does not sell evil wolves and wargs.

These big wolves have high IQs. As an elf, Reina said that the elf queen is very interested in prairie wolves and wargs.

She has sent several druids who are proficient in natural language to try to communicate with these big wolves.

At present, the druids have completed the communication with the prairie wolves. The next step is to tame these prairie wolves and incorporate them into the combat system of the barrier.

There is no way. Except for a small number of elite undead, the combat effectiveness of most undead is not high.

But their consumption capacity is extremely terrifying. They don't need to eat, and they don't have any morale problems. The enemies they kill can be resurrected as undead again.

For such a difficult opponent, the elves can't consume it by themselves, so they can only think of other creatures.

Moreover, when a human or an elf dies in battle, at least one skeleton soldier can be summoned.

And a prairie wolf of the same level is more than enough to deal with skeleton soldiers, but after several of them die, they may not be able to summon a skeleton soldier.

There is no way. The body of the prairie wolf is not big, and the number and size of bones cannot meet the needs of a skeleton soldier.

Not to mention the prairie wolf, even the larger wolves such as the wolf and the evil wolf often need two or three to summon a skeleton soldier.

But that is only for ordinary undead heroes. For the skeleton king or the undead with the special skill of summoning spirits, one corpse may summon two or three skeleton soldiers.

The elves have taken a fancy to these big wolves, and the druids have already appeased them, so there is no need for extra care.

Xu Lai naturally didn't feel comfortable charging the Elf Queen, but he asked for a share of the domestication results, and the two families would each take half.

Wei Yihong's side mainly talked with people about orc materials and slaves.

Jilong's side talked with merchants about other specialties of the grassland.

For example, the black dragon meat and black dragon blood mentioned earlier.

These things can improve qualifications and are particularly popular and best-selling goods.

Xu Lai didn't sell more of this stuff even at the auction.

This time, he not only took it out, but the price was also lower than at the auction.

Correspondingly, if others want to take these treasures, they also need to pay an extra price.

The price is also very simple. Xu Lai wants soldiers, spell materials, and spell arrays.

Rare for rare, this is fair.

The orcs also taught Xu Lai a lesson. If this place is not too scarce in resources and spell materials are rare, the power of their magic array is really not bad.

If the team can also match a more advanced magic array, it can definitely make up for Xu Lai's lack of magic resistance after giving up the rune pants.

It doesn't need to be too much. The flame protection array in the stronghold can achieve 10%. As long as they reach 20%, Xu Lai will be satisfied.

"The tower has studied the array in depth. If you need the array diagram, you have to find the merchants in the tower to trade." A merchant said.

Jilong said lightly:

"This place is not far from the tower camp. I don't believe that you don't do business in the tower and have no contact with the merchants in the tower."

Several merchants looked at each other. Of course, they couldn't not know the merchants in the tower.

There are even several people here who are doing business in the tower. Otherwise, where would the energy bars in Qingfeng City be sold?

However, it is precisely because they do business in the tower that they know how stingy the mages in the tower are.

Other things don't matter. All items related to spells are strictly controlled by them.

Even those ordinary books that have no spell energy and no records of spell knowledge have always been controlled.

Especially those books that can be read and written, which are only allowed to exist in the schools and colleges of magic instructors.

Speaking of which, the Tower teaches everyone, regardless of background, only magic talent.

In fact, ordinary people without magic talent are deprived of the right to read and write.

The only way out for ordinary people is to become a physical professional, responsible for protecting these magic masters.

The magicians in the Tower are undoubtedly another form of aristocracy, but their way of inheritance is not blood, but teacher-student relationship.

Even ordinary books are controlled and monopolized. It is conceivable how difficult it would be to get something related to spells or advanced spells in the Tower.

They really don’t want to deal with the magicians in the Tower, and the business environment here on Xu Lai’s side is much more relaxed.

Although Xu Lai doesn’t like merchants, he still exempts merchants from the city entry tax.

Just this one item alone saves a lot of money for merchants and gives them a lot of profit space.

It is precisely because of this that they want to think of a solution here with Xu Lai.

There is always a reason why the saying goes that good people are often bullied.

However, Jilong did not indulge them at all. After bluntly exposing these merchants, he said in a deep voice:

"Don't tell me those nonsense. We have other options for you.

You want to buy dragon blood and dragon meat, and you have to buy them at a fair price. How can you do it without paying a little price?

Or you can exchange them with angels. If you don't have angels, knights and archers can also exchange them for some purchasing qualifications.

For the rest of the infantry, spearmen, etc., don't even think about buying dragon blood and dragon meat. We have some tower troops here, you can exchange them."

When the merchants heard that there were tower troops that could be exchanged, the transaction of dragon blood and dragon meat was a possibility.

"What are the tower troops? Are there mages, naga or titans?"

The grassland doesn't even have a tower city, so it is naturally unlikely that there are upgraded troops in the mage camp.

The battle with the orcs in the stronghold lasted for more than a month. Xu Lai did receive several batches of tower soldiers from the underground city.

But he didn't have the time to take them to visit the mountain fortress.

"Yes, but these are the popular troops in the tower. It's not possible to exchange them for the common troops of the empire."

The merchant hurriedly asked: "Then how do you say we should exchange it?"

Jilong smiled and said: "Sign a contract, pay a deposit, and promise to bring something of the corresponding level from the tower.

I'll tell you in advance that if you can't bring it within the agreed period, the deposit will not be refunded.

Also, don't think about just exchanging some magic materials to fool us.

We will evaluate anything you bring out, but we don't evaluate it based on value, but on rarity.

But don't worry, even if the evaluation is not up to standard, we will not completely confiscate your deposit, there will be a fixed standard.

And now, I heard that the tower is retreating step by step. Those guys who study magic every day, how many know how to fight.

They are now in short supply of their own camp's troops. If you take the magician, Naga and Titan with you, you will definitely gain a lot."

Most of the time, rarity is linked to value.

But Jilong emphasized this point specifically to remind these merchants not to be fooled by the magicians in the tower.

The tower soldiers were all in Qingfeng City at this time, and these merchants did not bring the imperial soldiers with them.

So Jilong's side probably just reached a transaction intention today.

The two parties agreed on the transaction location and transaction time. Those who should pay the deposit paid the deposit, and those who should sign the contract signed the contract.

Xu Lai was here in person today, and he also meant to use himself to guarantee the transaction.

A trade fair was held until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night.

It was said to be over, but in fact it was too late, and Xu Lai forced it to end.

Although there are not many merchants here, these merchants were invited in the name of Xu Lai.

Therefore, these merchants present all have some capital, and ordinary small merchants are not qualified to appear here at all.

Therefore, every transaction must be extremely cautious.

If the two parties make a mistake in the negotiation, it will cost at least tens of thousands of gold coins.

The two main forces have negotiated so far, and although only a dozen orders have been completed in total, the deposits for these dozen orders alone are already millions.

After all these transactions are completed, Xu Lai will earn at least tens of millions, and a large number of other rare items will be credited.

Such negotiations are still going on, and new merchants are coming every day.

Some transactions that can be completed on the spot are also being reached one after another.

Xu Lai, who has a large deposit in hand, also took advantage of the fact that these mercenaries have not left and publicly held a bounty exchange ceremony in the Stone City.

All mercenaries can use their captured orc tattoo skins to exchange for corresponding bonuses.

The mercenaries who have died will be collected by the directors, presidents, and leaders of the mercenary groups of the mercenary union, including pensions.

This bounty and pension alone cost Xu Lai more than one million gold coins.

This is the case when the casualties are not large, and many mercenaries have been resurrected, saving a large amount of pensions.

After the bonuses are distributed to the mercenaries, the Qingfeng Corps will have to wait for a while.

After returning to Qingfeng City, a large celebration ceremony will be held.

It is a rare opportunity to have such a great battle and win a great victory. If Xu Lai does not take this opportunity to boost the morale of the army and the people, it would be a shame for the deaths of so many orcs. (End of this chapter)
