Chapter 273

"Good?" the goblin turned his slightly cunning eyes.

"Yes! Good! My dear friends. According to your goblin values, everything in the world can be priced with money, and my help is no exception. Don't think I will help you repel or defeat the enemy free of charge. I'm not so kind, especially the famous blood sail pirate." Zhang Cheng pointed out the other party's caution.

You should know that the goblin consortium is a huge interest organization similar to western capital groups on earth. It sounds good to be obsessed with commerce and trade, but hard to say, it is a fantasy version of a powerful trust monopoly group.

If you don't stick to the bottom line when dealing with these guys, you may be sold and count the money for each other.

The most typical example is the tribe unconsciously controlled by goblins.

Whether it is the Tauren who is obsessed with the primitive and peaceful life, or the orcs and trolls who are full of ideas of fighting and killing, they are completely unaware that their food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even war materials must rely on those greedy green dwarfs.

This is why later, some goblin consortia chose to join the tribe, because on the one hand, the alliance with relatively independent economy refused their infiltration, on the other hand, it was too deeply involved with the tribe, so that they had to protect their assets in person.

After all, there is a famous proverb in Azeroth, that is, never underestimate the greed of goblins. If a goblin finds that he can get great benefits from you without paying any price, he will definitely do his best to drain the last bit of value from you

Maybe many gamers will like the mercenary attitude of goblins and the mantra "time is money", but Zhang Cheng doesn't like them at all.

Especially when a goblin looks at him with his eyes looking at the goods, his mood is naturally worse.

Fortunately, however, goblins are not dwarfs who jump out of their minds and can't understand other people's eyes.

At least the captain soon noticed the anger of the young mage standing in front of him and quickly opened his mouth and stretched out five fingers: "five gold coins! As long as you can kill the blood sail pirates, I am willing to pay five gold coins!"

"Five gold coins?! Mr. captain, you are really generous." Zhang Cheng laughed angrily.

I can't help laughing. Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people in Azeroth, five gold coins have been a very rich reward. You can do nothing and eat and drink in a good pub for more than half a month,

But for hiring a mage, this is a naked humiliation. Even the lowest mage will not accept the employment of only five gold coins, but will throw a big fireball in the face of the bidder.

"Er, not fifty gold coins?" the goblin added a zero after the initial price with a painful look on his face.

As a typical miser, not to mention paying strangers 50 gold coins or five copper coins, he would suffer all day.

Looking at each other's haggling eyes, Zhang Cheng suddenly realized that bargaining with the same goblin was just to make himself uncomfortable, so he pointed directly to the armed ship under his feet: "I want one fifth of the goods on this ship!"

"You dream!" the goblin jumped up as if stimulated by something.

Zhang Cheng, who had expected the other party's response for a long time, shrugged his shoulders: "well, whatever you want. Friendly tips, if you wait for the blood sail pirates to sink or occupy the ship, you will lose not only all the goods, but also the ship and your own life. Oh, by the way, if you ask me for help later, the price will not be one fifth of the goods, but more..."

Boom!

Before he could finish his words, another shell flew over. This time, not only a big hole was opened in the hull, but also the main mast was interrupted.

With the creaking sound of wood breaking, the mast with more than one person collapsed, and the huge inertia almost caused the whole ship to roll over.

As we all know, the only power of wooden sailboats is the mast. If the mast is lost, the ship will lose speed and become a live target on the sea, or be sunk or captured by the enemy. There is no third way to go.

Of course, the above theory only applies to the earth without magic power. According to Azeroth's power system, even a slightly stronger warrior can reverse this adverse situation.

"My dear friend, the price of asking me to sell now is one-third of the goods. I really suggest you make a decision early, or it will rise to one-half or even all when the other party starts boarding. However, I am not as greedy as your goblins, and I will leave you this dilapidated ship." Zhang Cheng took advantage of the fire with a smile.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! You greedy bastard! I really doubt whether there is a soul like me under your human appearance! Okay! Just one third of the goods! Deal!"

Seeing the blood sail pirate warship approaching rapidly, the goblin captain finally cursed hysterically and nodded his head.

There is no way not to agree. Since the turn of the black water pirates and the blood sail pirates, the two sides have launched a dragon and tiger fight on the southern coast of thorns valley. No matter who finds the other party's ship, they will not let go.

Therefore, if he wanted to keep his ship and the important goods loaded on it, he could think of no other way but to pay the price.

"Wise choice, Mr. captain, I promise you will feel value for money." after saying that, Zhang Cheng turned and began to sing a spell loudly, aiming at the enemy waving claws not far away to connect with the side, releasing the flame system and killing the spell in a large range - Flame storm.

I saw a cylindrical flame rising into the sky without warning!

A dozen unlucky people gathered together were swallowed in an instant, screamed and jumped into the sea, trying to use the sea to extinguish the burning flame on their bodies.

But they forgot that the thorns Valley coast is not a safe place. Not to mention the fish people and Naga who often haunt in groups, the terrible sharks alone are enough for all sailors to drink a pot.

In less than 30 seconds, these guys were torn and divided by sharks waiting nearby, and finally swallowed.

At the same time, the fire caused by the flame storm also spread on the enemy ship. Although many blood sail pirates tried hard to stop the fire from spreading with wooden barrels, the fire made by magic could not be extinguished so easily.

As a result, a cabin containing shells and gunpowder was accidentally detonated.

With a loud bang, the blood sail pirate's warship broke in two on the spot and began to sink rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it sank to the bottom of the sea.

As for the pirates who put on their clothes, some put down their boats in advance to escape, while others struggled desperately with floating objects such as empty barrels and broken armor plates to avoid sharks shuttling in the sea
