Chapter 144 The Merchant's Friendship

"Hello, Your Highness Huck, I am Maris, the manager of the Fortune Chamber of Commerce in the seventh district of the Elf Kingdom."

When Huck and Lily came back from running outside, they saw the chamber of commerce representative who had been waiting for him for a while.

"Nice to meet you, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Huck pointed to the tables and chairs for afternoon tea outside the wooden house, "Sit down and have a drink."

"Okay." Maris came here just to talk to Huck.

After the two parties sat down, the elves began to serve tea.

Huck looked at the male elf opposite. He had the profound aura of a scholar, but also gave off a sense of wisdom and smoothness.

Unlike the male elf who looks like a guard or a ranger, this elf named Maris is somewhat human.

Marius was also watching Huck.

Many things about Huck are no longer secrets.

But knowing is knowing, and now knowing it is meaningless.

People change, especially before becoming a lord and after becoming a lord, the difference is too great!
Even bigger than a caterpillar evolving into a butterfly!

"His Royal Highness, this is a small gift from our Fortune Chamber of Commerce, please accept it."

Maris placed the gift she had prepared long ago on the table, and slowly opened the box to reveal the treasure inside.

Huck looked at the contents of the box. These were two rings.

One is a ruby ​​ring and the other is a black gem ring.

"Is this a magic ring? Or an ordinary ring?" Huck was curious, so he picked it up and watched it carefully.

With a smile on her face, Maris explained kindly: "The red one is a magic ring, which can cast Pyroblast twice a day."

"The black is the space ring, which contains a thousand cubic meters of iron ore."

"This ring has a lot of space, but it's relatively single, and it can't hold other things, otherwise it will be very troublesome to find, and it's best not to put anything other than metal."

It took Huck a second or two to roughly calculate the capacity and weight, and he said happily, "Thank you, I'm short of iron here. Thank you very much for the gift from the Fortune Chamber of Commerce. I like it very much."

Of course Marius knew that Huck liked it, "As long as you like it."

Already eleven or twelve years old, it would be too much to continue pretending to be a child.

It's okay to play the cute little boy in front of women, everyone is happy.

In front of men, profit is the main thing. At this time, everyone doesn't like the character of children.

Huck took the initiative and said: "I wanted to cooperate with the Fortune Chamber of Commerce before. This time, Mr. Maris came to give me a gift. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you?"

Maris smiled sincerely, "Actually, we came here this time to cooperate with Your Highness Huck."

"I know that." Huck said, "I have food and wood here, and some medicines, flowers, or magic props, but I think you also have these."

"What exactly do you want?" Huck looked at Maris.

The Chamber of Commerce is definitely making money, but this is not a society where money is paramount.

Maris knew that Huck was not as innocent as he seemed, and seeing Huck's expression at this time, he knew that the other party's patience was not much.

"Your Highness Huck, how much do you know about the situation outside?" Maris asked about an irrelevant topic.

Huck shook his head, "I don't know, I just know that the outside is not peaceful now, and the demons and Zergs have been causing trouble."

Maris said seriously: "In fact, the situation is not optimistic."

"The situation in distant places is worse, and there are big problems in nearby places, such as the forest of elves and the golden plain of the orcs."

"The army of the Zerg has been fighting against the grassland elves, orcs, half-orcs, humans and sea people at the same time, and the demons are also harassing the orcs, half-orcs, and undead."

Huck quickly asked: "What about the Dragon Clan? Don't the Demon Clan and the Zerg Clan bother the Dragon Clan?"

Maris explained: "There were also some troubles, but they were all resolved by the dragon blood warriors there. The main force of the Zerg and Demon race still wanted to occupy more fertile land."

Huck showed a dazed look, "Oh, I almost forgot that the areas where most dragons live are not considered good places."

Maris continued: "The elves have always been troubled by the infiltrating demons. Those infiltrating demons not only destroyed and caused chaos, but also lured many elves astray."

"And the harassment of the Zerg, as well as the pressure from other countries, have also damaged the interests of all parties in the elves."

Huck asked, "What pressure are the rest of the countries?"

Maris said: "For example, the materials exchanged, for example, Nordesus does not want to exchange weapons and iron ore for the art of the elves."

Huck lowered his head and said, "Oh, that's it."

Marius could feel Huck's indifference to the two countries.

"At present, the battle between the grassland elves and the Zerg is becoming more and more fierce. Although the losses of the Zerg are more serious, the victory of the elf coalition is also expanding, and many lands have been recovered, but many grassland elves have died."

"I think you, Your Highness Huck, have also heard about it. Now the anti-war sentiment among the grassland elves is getting stronger and stronger."

Huck showed a thoughtful look, "Sorry, I didn't know this until I heard you say it."

Marelli explained: "This is normal. The prairie elves attach great importance to style and reputation."

"But the prairie elves have no obligation to protect the forest elves. They are independent tribes, and many tribes will unite to resist powerful enemies at critical moments."

"The enemy they faced this time is not strong, but if they continue to fight, it will be very, very bad."

Huck mainly thought of Thorn's words, and then began to analyze the situation of the grassland elves.

The reproductive ability of the elves has always been very low, and the same is true for the grassland elves.

As a long-lived race, it takes a long time for each elf to grow into the backbone of the group.

Even with a one hundred to one battle loss, those giant worms that can grow up in a few months can consume all the grassland elves to death.

Moreover, it is difficult for a race that is accustomed to a comfortable life to have the kind of cohesion that is all-or-nothing.

And the most important thing is that since the appearance of the Zerg, they have always focused on the war of attrition, and other races do not have the speed of their violent troops.

Even if all the bugs on the grassland are wiped out, the Zerg will be able to make a comeback in a few years, and a few years is too short for the elves.

"I think pure quantity can't suppress the quality, it can make the grassland elves no longer want to fight. It must be that there are many things in those bugs that can threaten most elf fighters?"

Maris said approvingly: "That's true. According to my information, the prairie elves have asked the royal court for help."

Huck asked: "Will Her Majesty send troops, or will Tegu's troops assist here?"

Maris shook his head calmly, "No, there are no extra troops in the royal court to invest here. I think I will go to the parliament of the imperial capital in the end and propose to form a coalition army to deal with the demons."

"What's the attitude of the imperial capital?" Huck was a little concerned. In fact, judging from the information he knew, the imperial capital was the strongest.

Maris said: "The emperor will not pay attention to these things, and will not use Teigu's power to protect the rest of the kingdom, unless someone can get Teigu's approval."

Huck quiet ha tea, this is back to the power of the crown.

"The Fortune Chamber of Commerce wants to cooperate with you. In addition to maintaining basic trade, we mainly want to gain your friendship."

Huck nodded, "Okay, no problem, if others don't bully me, I certainly won't bully others."

That's right, this is the feedback that the Fortune Chamber of Commerce wants.

The Fortune Chamber of Commerce wins over Huck, not because they want Huck to do something for them, but because they don't want to keep friendship with Huck when they have something to do.

Maintaining a friendship with a candidate for the power of the crown is a big deal.

The two sides quickly discussed the matter of trade, which can be regarded as reciprocity.

Huck said happily: "I don't have any good things here. I like the watermelon here the most. Let me give you some!"

Therefore, Huck sent out the watermelon that could represent the territory of his own territory.

Through the watermelon, everyone can judge the land condition of Stormwind City, and also see Huck's potential!
