Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 230 The Envoy from Shilin Port

"What is the origin of this Wangbo Port?"

On the sailboat, Grask, the envoy from "Shilin Port", was very puzzled. The "Wangbo Port" that suddenly emerged from the south was challenging the status of "Shilin Port" as a trade hub.

These guys used a lot of salt to build a reputation in "Shilin Port", and then attracted other merchants to go to "Wangbo Port" to trade, which undoubtedly irritated the nerves of "Shilin Port".

All the "New World specialty products" that "Shilin Port" has, "Wangbo Port" also has them, but not as many as "Shilin Port".

Because "Shilin Port" can absorb goods from various small settlements in the "New World", the reputation of "Shilin Port" has spread.

All the colonies in the "New World" know about this place, and all the people in the "Old World" also know about the "Stone Forest Port" that was incorporated into the empire. They all know about this counterattack myth from a colonial merchant to a city governor. The existence of "Stone Forest Port" is one of the important factors in the formation of the craze for colonizing the New World.

Naturally, everyone would come here to trade. It was directly under the Empire, safe and reliable, and better than looking for small colonies everywhere to receive goods.

Now, with the product support of "Silver Leaf Port", "Hellrank City", "Obsidian City" and "Midsummer Port", and with the entire [Blood Oath Covenant] as a shield, "Wangbo Port" is actually not inferior to "Shilin Port" in terms of products. It even has many special products that "Shilin Port" does not have.

For example, some specialty products made by the Lizardmen, and some specialty products from the High Elves, are obviously not available in "Shilin Port". This is the competitiveness of "Wangbo Port".

Under the temptation of interests, more and more caravans went to "Wangbo Port", and the caravans from "Wangbo Port" gradually stopped going to "Shilin Port", forcing more caravans to go to "Wangbo Port".

There was no way out. After the caravans from "Wangbo Port" had raided the port several times, the caravans from the "Old World" that came to purchase goods knew of their existence. They stopped going there and brought less and less goods. The caravans were naturally dissatisfied and were forced to go to "Wangbo Port".

Merchants are ultimately driven by profit. If it is profitable to go to "Wangbo Port", they will of course make a special trip for it.

The Governor could no longer tolerate this situation, so he planned to negotiate with the people of "Wangbo Port" to see if the two sides could resolve the trade dispute peacefully.

The reason why he sent people here to negotiate directly was mainly because the Governor had already learned about the military strength of "Wangbo Port".

The news from the "Carkanni Province" and the "Magras Province" has made the Governor of "Shilin Port" give up the idea of using force. There is no need for that. Even the "Carkanni Province" and the "Magras Province" have suffered setbacks. There is no need for him to confront this tough opponent again.

The competition between "Shilin Port" and "Wangbo Port" is more direct, and there is no retreat like with "Carkanni Province" and "Magras Province".

The competition between "Carkanni Province", "Magras Province" and "Wangbo Port" is just a competition for colonies. If the competition fails, the worst that can happen is to colonize another place. Everyone can still sign a treaty and live in peace, and there is still a way out.

But between "Wangbo Port" and "Shilin Port", there is no way out for anyone, as both have already taken root in the "New World". Whoever fails in the competition will become the nourishment for the other side.

Having said that, the competition between the two ports has not reached the point of life and death, and there is still room for maneuver.

Now those caravans will still go to "Shilin Port", but with a new destination added, they will also go to "Wangbo Port".

Therefore, "Shilin Port" did not suffer too much loss due to the rise of "Wangbo Port", and the two sides have not yet reached the point where they must use swords against each other.

"I hope the negotiations will have a good outcome."

Glask sighed and said that he hoped those people from "Wangbo Port" would not take them too seriously and would not really not take them seriously.

Judging from the series of outrageous actions of the people from "Wangbo Port", they really have no respect for their predecessor "Shilin Port", so Glask is worried about the outcome of this mission.

This "Wangbo Port" is not comparable to those previous small colonies. It is a colony that has successively defeated the armies of the "Carkanni Province" and "Magras Province". It will definitely not be controlled by them.

Amidst the worries, the ship finally approached "Wangbo Port" and came to the area now known as "Sword Bay".

In the "Sword Bay Waters", Glask and his crew's ships were inspected. Looking at the ships shuttling through this sea area, Glask became more and more worried, because the strength of "Wangbo Port" seemed to be even more exaggerated than they thought.

"Are these ships all from your Wangbo Port?"

Looking at the captain of the "Wangbo Port" beside him, Glask asked.

"What else? Could it be your ship?"

"Red Rat" Irusa glared at the envoy from "Stone Forest Port". He spoke very rudely, which made Glask very uncomfortable. Other colonies would not dare to treat him like this.

"Don't be so rude, we come here with good intentions."

Glask smiled. Although he was unhappy, he couldn't show it directly. He didn't want to cause any diplomatic incident because of himself. He was not like these soldiers.

"Okay, you can pass."

"Red Rat" Irusa did not respond. He completed the inspection step by step, and then signaled this guy that he could enter "Sword Bay".

"Thank you."

Glask thanked him politely, maintaining his composure. As a professional envoy, he had to maintain his elegance.

Of course, in fact, he was not professional at all before. He was just a descendant of a down-and-out noble who followed the Governor of Shilin Port. Most of their group had such a down-and-out status. After Shilin Port was incorporated, they all turned their lives around.

how to say?

The less a person has, the more he will emphasize something. The harder Glask tried to act like a noble, the more lame he looked. "Red Rat" Irusa thought this guy was very pretentious, so he didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

"Kakakaka."

The skeleton phone rang and "Red Rat" Irusa picked it up.

"Irusa, you will be responsible for receiving the guests from Stone Forest Port. Protect them and make sure nothing unexpected happens."

After the call was connected, Drake's voice came, and the order he gave made "Red Rat" Irusa's face turn sour.

There was no way. He really hated this kind of mission. He found it very boring, especially since this Grask was quite annoying.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

Although Red Rat Irusa felt annoyed, it was a mission after all, and he couldn't refuse. Drake was his old boss, and he was one of the first Laliers to follow Drake and become one of the "Forsaken." He also had great respect for Karen. In fact, these "Forsaken" were the main source of Karen's faith and strength, and they were all good candidates to become "fanatics."

After all, it is a belief that has lasted for thousands of years, and this persistence is the best proof.

"Wait a moment."

After receiving the order, "Red Rat" Irusa stopped Glask.

"what happened?"

Glask was a bit surprised to be called over. Looking at the fierce face of "Red Rat" Irusa, he felt a little uneasy. Was this guy looking for trouble? What should he do? Should he be more aggressive? What if a fight really broke out?
As an envoy, he is not here to cause trouble this time. He is here to try to resolve the dispute through peaceful means. If the negotiations fail, there is still room for maneuver. But if a fight breaks out because of him, then all the blame will be on him.

So now, Glask is very nervous. He doesn't want to be a sinner. Although even if something happens, it can't be blamed on him, but Glask, who has encountered this situation for the first time, still can't help but feel nervous.

"I'll escort you."

"Red Rat" Irusa spoke. He didn't care about Glask's nervousness and pretended not to see it. The guy in front of him did have a bit of a golden exterior but rotten interior, and there was a clear difference between him and the envoys from other forces who had come before.

This is actually understandable. After all, the places Glask had been sent as envoys before were all small colonies, and the status and power of "Shilin Port" made him basically have a superior attitude, and the people in other small colonies had to flatter him.

In this environment, Glask couldn't develop any abilities as an envoy.

The fact that this guy was able to adjust his mindset and put away his previous domineering attitude when he was on a diplomatic mission to "Wangbo Port" already shows that he is somewhat normal. If he had a mental problem, he might not be able to change it even after coming here.

Glask is not a fool. The strength shown by "Wangbo Port" is enough to make him put away his arrogance. After all, if a real fight breaks out, "Shilin Port" will not end up in any good situation.

"Thank you, you can call me Glask."

The tension in Glask's heart gradually dissipated. It turned out that he was here to escort her, and it was not a deliberate cause for trouble.

He really thought that the people from "Wangbo Port" were a group of ambitious people who were looking for trouble with him in order to attack "Shilin Port".

Now it turns out that these people from "Wangbo Port" are actually quite normal, and they even specifically ordered someone to escort them.

At this moment, Glask finally gained some confidence in this mission, thinking that maybe he could really solve the problem.

As long as the people from "Wangbo Port" want to talk, everything will be easy to talk about. I'm just afraid that these people don't want to talk.

"Let's go."

"Red Rat" Irusa ignored Glask's thoughts. He was just doing his job and just had to complete the task assigned by Boss Drake.

Glask was quite active and always wanted to talk to "Red Rat" Irusa, but in the end he got a cold shoulder as "Red Rat" Irusa was always indifferent to him.

There was no way out. After chatting for a few sentences, Glask chose to give up. The other party kept ignoring him, which made him feel quite embarrassed.

In this way, the group quickly arrived at the dock of "Wangbo Port" and went ashore at the dock.

The surprise on Glask's face never disappeared, because the prosperity of "Wangbo Port" obviously far exceeded his expectations.

This place doesn't look like it was built just over a year ago.

This "Wangbo Port" has been built like a big city that has stood in the "New World" for a long time. Compared with "Shilin Port", it feels that it is only a little bit smaller in scale. After all, "Shilin Port" has been developed for several years and is still very large in scale.

"It's unimaginable."

Glask sighed and was very glad that he came here to take a look. Otherwise, if they only heard about it from others, they really couldn't imagine that this "Wangbo Port" had developed into this state.

"Fuss."

"Red Rat" Irusa complained from the side.

Glask looked at the fierce-looking burly man, and he could clearly see the pride and pride on the burly man's face.

Although Glask felt disgusted, he had to admit that the achievements made by these "Wangbo Port people" were indeed enough to be proud of.

Their "Shilin Port" was not of this scale when it was just over a year old. It took several years for it to reach this scale.

Glask was alert in his heart that this "Wangbo Port" might really be a strong enemy and would bring huge pressure to their "Shilin Port".

As a veteran of "Shilin Port", Glask certainly hopes that "Shilin Port" will get better and better. He and "Shilin Port" are highly bound together, and they share the same fate, so he will naturally look at things from the perspective of "Shilin Port", and the pressure brought by "Wangbo Port" is undoubtedly great.

"Let's go. I'll take you to the Governor's Mansion."

"Red Rat" Irusa led the way, and several navy crew members followed him, escorting Grask's envoy team forward.

In fact, there is nothing to escort. Their "Wangbo Port" is still very safe, and it is not as mixed as "Shilin Port".

"It's so clean here."

Naturally, after leaving the dock and entering the city of "Wangbo Port", Glask also noticed this.

The dock is very busy with people coming and going, and people don't pay much attention to hygiene issues. After all, there are a lot of goods on the dock. With so many people and goods, the hygiene is not very good. But it is different in the city. The hygiene in the city is very guaranteed.

There is no way around it. This is a policy formulated by the Blood King himself. Hygiene and cleanliness of the city must be guaranteed in every city, otherwise it will definitely cause dissatisfaction from the Blood King.

No one can bear the dissatisfaction of the Blood King, and no one will try, so every city will pay close attention to sanitation issues and make the city clean and tidy.

Once people adapt to such a city, they will gradually set high standards for themselves and stop littering and urinating everywhere. This is a virtuous cycle, which is much better than other human cities that don't care about anything.
