MTL - Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid-Chapter 4 goblin city-state Gadgetzan

North of Tanaris, the desert town of Gadgetzan.

The leader here, the goblin Malin Nogfogg, is in a very bad mood these days.

Belonging to the most powerful chaebol of the goblins: the hot sand chaebol, he made the most risky investment in his life and established Gadgetzan.

He still remembers the mocking eyes of those financial managers when he left Kezan with people:

'Is this guy crazy? Want to build a city in a desert so poor that birds don't shit? ’

Nogfogg didn't care about this. He quit his high-paying job and came to this desert for a huge business. He wanted to make a lot of money!

Even if he could, he would be among the tycoons of capital: the trade princes.

Thinking of this, Nogfogg's green skin turned red with excitement.

But just in the past few days, a group of humans disrupted his great plan! It was like about 1,000 people, they came to Tanaris, and they set up a camp on the seaside!

sky! That piece of land Nogforge has a specific development plan for a long time! In the future, a large port will be built and dedicated to the trade king, Resha! How can these humans fool around? !

Nogfogg couldn't wait to put on engineering equipment immediately and drive away these hateful humans.

In fact, he did exactly that. The day after those humans arrived, Nogfogg drove his engineering mecha and set off towards the beach.

But then something happened that made Nogfogg go back to Gadgetzan in a disheartened manner.

He swore that he would never forget that scene!

That was when he just walked out of the Ruins of Hot Shadow and passed the Qingquan Plain. His engineering telescope was able to see very far. Through the telescope, he saw that the guy who looked like a human leader was doing some kind of sacrificial ceremony towards Qingquan Plain.

At first, Norgefogg didn't take this to heart, but what happened next made him even wonder if there was something wrong with the telescope!

The human leader shone with golden light all over his body, and then a majestic huge building appeared in the desert! It is conservatively estimated that the pyramid is more than 100 meters high!

After seeing this scene from a distance, Nogfogg turned around without hesitation and withdrew to Gadgetzan.

Although goblins are a cunning race that can do anything for money and have an adventurous spirit, they also feel fear, especially this unknown and powerful force.

'My God! what is that? Is that guy still human? ’

Norgefogg fell into deep suspicion. It was not that he had not seen a huge spectacle.

Rivigaz, who is also a hot sand chaebol, made a huge statue of himself 38 meters high in his territory: Booty Bay on the southern coast of Stranglethorn Valley.

But that statue is a huge project that Rivigaz spent nearly ten years to complete!

This 100-meter-high building only took a moment! This is a miracle!

Now Nogfogg can't give birth to drive away the hearts of those human beings, and now he can only hope that those human beings must not come to the door!

However, as the so-called "fear of what will come".

Nogfogg was distressed in the office when the guard suddenly knocked on his door.

"City Lord, there are several humans outside who are asking to see you."

"No!"

Nogfogg said these two words subconsciously, but after thinking about it, he still walked out of the desk.

"Let's lead the way, I'll go see what they're going to do."

Outside the tall sandstone city walls of Gadgetzan, Li De was struggling to talk to the guards.

Thanks to the fact that goblins are a smart race, even if they are only guards, they can speak some simple common languages, otherwise they will not be able to communicate even the simplest.

"We, deal, gift."

Li De tried to say some short words and conveyed his meaning through gestures and displayed objects.

The goblin guards understood the meaning, and were not so wary of Li De anymore. But still no release, how to arrange them has to wait for the decision of the city owner.

Li De understood this, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious for a while.

Just thinking about this contact, it was going to be smoother than expected, but saw a goblin driving an engineering mecha with a roaring engine, and strode out.

"I am the city lord Nogfogg, human, what are your intentions? Goblins are never afraid of fighting! If you are an enemy, die as soon as possible!"

After seeing that the visitor was the human leader who terrified him, Nogfogg's nerves immediately became tense, so that he seemed a little restless.

When the other goblins saw the city lord like this, they all showed their weapons and surrounded the three of Li De.

Seeing that the goblin had plans to make a move, the two elite soldiers behind Li De also drew their swords from their waists.

In fact, if they weren't convinced of Li De, the two soldiers would have an urge to turn around and leave or do something on the spot when they saw that Gadgetzan was a goblin city.

They clearly remember that there were many such "green-skinned monsters" among the pirates who attacked them on the night the ship was lost!

"Everyone calm down and don't do anything."

Li De first signaled his subordinates to put away their weapons, and then raised his hands to the goblin to indicate that he was not a threat.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, how could this goblin city master be so hostile? How did he know that it was because of him that he brought great pressure to Nogfogg.

"Please calm down, I'm not hostile, I'm here to make a deal."

These words made Nogfogg calm down a bit. No goblin would refuse the transaction, but he still did not express his position.

Li De could only continue to explain.

"If we were hostile, it would definitely not be just three people. This is a little gift from us. I have a very important deal."

In fact, Li De is not afraid of these goblins. Although it is not clear how powerful the goblin engineering weapons are, these guards with weapons are not Li De's opponents together.

But he really didn't come to fight today, he was really sincere and friendly with Gadgetzan.

Because now Li De's purpose is not only to make a deal, but also to gain productivity points.

Just when Li De and the others found Gadgetzan in the desert, Eureka also gave Li De a hint.

"Ding~, congratulations to the leader for discovering the city-state Gadgetzan. Get 10 reward points. If you continue to interact with the city-state, you may get more points."

With such a generous reward, Li De is naturally more willing to facilitate a deal with Gadgetzan.

Nogfogg hesitated for a long time, but finally the goblin's nature overcame his fear of Li De.

"Okay, you come in with me."

The goblin manipulated the machine and turned around crunchly, and Li De and the others walked into Gadgetzan under the guard of the soldiers.

The buildings in Gadgetzan have the style of a desert city. They are all domed stone houses stacked with gravel. The market is not very lively. At a glance, there are only a few hundred people trading, including goblins, trolls, and even trolls. There are two boars?

Li De looked at those people curiously. They were also observing Li De. For Kalimdor, humans were too rare.

Everyone stopped outside the hall of the city master of Nogfogg. Nogfogg stepped off the engineering mecha, looked at Li De with a complicated expression, and said it in a not very friendly tone.

"You are only allowed to come in with me alone, and the others will wait outside."

Li De signaled to the two subordinates to stay calm, and he followed each other in.

After arriving at the mayor's office, Nogfogg jumped into his spacious seat and asked.

"What do you want to trade with me? Can we talk now?"

Li De didn't rush to express his intentions, but just thanked him politely in advance.

"First of all, I would like to thank you for spending your precious time talking to me, Mr. Trade Prince."

There is no one who doesn't like to listen to flattery. After Li De held such a hand, Nogfogg couldn't help but feel a little high, and his face looked a lot better.

But he still pretended to be serious.

"You're not familiar with the level of our goblins. Don't talk nonsense. I'm far from qualified to be a trade prince. Well, let's talk politely and introduce yourself."

Li De speculated about why Nogfogg had such a big prejudice against himself. In fact, he thought about it after a little thought. It was not difficult to guess.

"My name is Reid Victory, and I am currently the lord of the human domain on the coast of Tanaris."

Sure enough, hearing Li De introduce himself like this, Nogfogg immediately became angry. Because Li Decommon's appearance and kind attitude offset many of Nogfogg's fears, he complained angrily.

"Damn it! How dare you say it! If it wasn't for you guys who occupied the coast without authorization and disrupted my plans, I might have become a trade prince!"

At this moment, Eureka's voice sounded again.

"Attention, the city-state Gadgetzan has already developed a certain hostility to the leader. If the city-state and the leader become hostile, you will not be able to obtain productivity points from the city-state!"

Li De didn't care about Eureka's reminder, because he was confident that Norgefogg would change his attitude towards him.
