"It would have been nice if we had known this a few days in advance..."
"That's right, the Snake Clan actually had a clan rebellion... Don't they know that without the statues of their ancestors, they will become the 'prey' of other clans?" "
The Snake Clan should be finished now. Whether the Saint Ruth Empire and the Bonnie Empire put pressure on the Orc Clan, or the Teda Federation sends reinforcements, it will take time. We must hold on to the first few rounds of offensives!"
The leaders of the six southwestern countries were a little nervous at this time.
However, just as the six southwestern countries were "thrillingly" preparing, hoping to hold on until the reinforcements arrived, Guan Liyuan was a little unhappy - the auction that was promised was actually cancelled?
When Guan Liyuan went to pick up the consignment items, the old appraiser, who was also the person in charge of the goblins, persuaded Guan Liyuan to wait for three more days. In three days, the Dwarfs will coordinate with the six southwestern countries to resume the meeting.
"Of course, it doesn't matter if Mr. Guan insists on taking the auction items now. I just hope that you can wait for another three days... If you consign them again within three days, not only can the handling fee be refunded, but... you will not be charged for the auction items!" The old goblin said helplessly.
The trade dukes and trade marquises behind the Southwest Auction Conference suffered a huge loss!
Not only did all the previous investment go down the drain, the handling fee had to be fully refunded, and they also suffered a loss of reputation - after all, the cancellation was not notified until twelve hours before the start.
And although it was not their initiative to cancel, but a joint ultimatum from the six southwestern countries, but... no matter who it was, most of the responsibility was blamed on them!
In fact, those trade dukes were also helpless. Although the cooperation with the Orc Clan in the Wasteland Corridor conflicted with the Southwest Auction Conference, but... the former was the "big business" of the entire Earth Dwarf Association, and the latter was just a "small order" for a few of them.
Just a few of them could not overturn the resolution of the Dwarfs Association. At the same time, in order not to alert the six countries in the southwest in advance, the auction had to continue...
Of course, the Dwarfs Association also gave them compensation, such as they would have a larger share in the future arms exports.
But now that it was exposed in advance, the auction was temporarily terminated, which was a greater blow to their reputation, so they naturally had to try their best to avoid it!
For the goblins, "playing two-faced" with the six countries in the southwest can only be said to be treacherous, but the termination of the auction was a breach of trust. As a goblin businessman, "breach of trust" is worse than "treacherous".
It's just that "cooperating with the six countries in the southwest while acquiescing to the orcs' attack on the southwest and concealing the news" is a normal operation for the goblins. Doing it more or less will not delay others from guarding against them.
But the termination of the auction directly damaged their reputation. After all, the former did not violate any cooperation terms, but was just treacherous outside the terms, while the latter was a real breach of trust.
As for the penalty for breach of contract... In fact, it is not that important.
"Are you sure you can reopen the auction within three days?" Guan Liyuan asked doubtfully.
At this time, the reason why the auction decided to close temporarily has also been announced...
It is said that the six countries in the southwest should be extremely dissatisfied with them now, and there is no room for negotiation.
"This... is hard to say, but the boss and the others are trying to communicate." The old goblin did not dare to guarantee it at this time.
However, Guan Liyuan was more confident than him, because Guan Liyuan always felt that the Snake Clan... might have problems!
Especially recently, Guan Liyuan also learned that after the change of the Snake Clan, the new one who came to power was still a "queen"...
If that person is really the Queen of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave or the Lord of Dread, the preparations of the six countries in the southwest may be in vain, and the situation will develop in a completely different direction.
And the strong attitude of the Snake Clan will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the six countries in the southwest and the Dwarf Society. It is completely foreseeable that the two sides will join forces again!
"Okay, then my auction items will stay with you for now... But many other people have already returned their auction items, and I even heard that there are some underground trade fairs recently?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"Yes, some guests are too anxious." The old goblin said helplessly.
Obviously, more customers did not believe that the auction could continue, so they took back the items early. Some of the items were difficult or dangerous to transport, or had a short validity period. They took advantage of the fact that there were still many bigwigs in Barbara City who came for the auction and started an underground trade fair...
Although the prices might not be as high as the real Southwest Auction, they could still recover some losses.
So Guan Liyuan thought about it and said to the old goblin: "In this case... As an old customer who always supports you, please help me add after-sales service."
Although the old goblin did not understand why Guan Liyuan needed after-sales service after buying something from him, seeing Guan Liyuan's smiling face and the items he had placed with him, he had to bite the bullet and asked: "What, what service?"
"Help me buy as many items as possible at the underground trade fair whose transaction price did not reach the estimated auction price, and then auction them again when the auction is restarted!" Guan Liyuan said.
"This... I'm afraid the expenses are not small, and the risks are very high. Are you sure you want to do this, Mr. Guan?" The old goblin looked worried about Guan Liyuan.
After all, the items that are in a hurry to be sold now are those that have time limits or are difficult to find new sellers.
"The expenses will be based on the estimated transaction price of my items... and the estimated transaction price of Valen's items. The items are considered to be mortgaged to you." Guan Liyuan said.
The old goblin did not question that Guan Liyuan could decide Valen's items, but was surprised by Guan Liyuan's decision: "Ah? Mr. Guan, the estimated total transaction price of Lord Valen's items is only more than 30 million, but yours..."
"I'll take as much as I can, of course... If I find out later that you're cheating me... Hehe!" Guan Liyuan said threateningly.
"Don't worry about this! We goblins never play number games."
"Yeah... just word games, right?" Guan Liyuan rolled his eyes.
"Hehe." The old goblin did not deny it.
Guan Liyuan understood the cunning of the goblins, which was manifested in "finding someone to beat you up after selling the arms, or even beating you up personally". He didn't have to worry about falsely reporting the transaction price...
Even if the goblins had this intention, Guan Liyuan didn't worry about being cheated - Guan Liyuan had seen a piece of "God's Metal" in the auction items before, and also saw the introduction of "God's Metal"!
"Anyway, you must apply to your boss for so much money, right? Don't forget to tell him that my name is Guan Liyuan." Guan Liyuan said.
The old goblin was a little surprised to hear this, but immediately replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Guan, I will pass on the message."
He thought that Guan Liyuan had a relationship with a big boss of the Earth Dwarfs, but he didn't guess that Guan Liyuan estimated that he would cast a shadow on the Earth Dwarfs, so he decided to scare them.
Guan Liyuan has now guessed why the cockpit was so hard when he was fighting the legion-level mecha! He also knew... the operator of the legion-level mecha was definitely not simple. Guan Liyuan also understood that his strength might have been "exposed" by the Earth Dwarfs... or it could be said that it was seriously overestimated!
At that time, Guan Liyuan used the "Seeking the Way Jade", which is the power of the big world, the so-called divine power of this plane, to forcibly break the cockpit. This move would inevitably cause the plane will in the "God's Metal"... that is, what they call "divinity", to be partially erased.
And to erase the divinity, at least the "pseudo-divine power" of a demigod is required to do it!
Guan Liyuan originally thought that the cockpit was just "slightly harder" and that he would not be discovered if he used the "Seeking the Way Jade" quietly...
But now it seems that the Earth Dwarfs have definitely speculated that Guan Liyuan "at least" mastered the power of the small world, that is, the power of the world realm, which is called "pseudo-divine power" in this plane.
The Di Aihui should not dare to provoke Guan Liyuan, who is suspected to be a demigod...
Instead, Valen, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes - didn't he say that the estimated transaction price is 40 million? It's a pity that Guan Liyuan still wants to help him make a fortune!
Compared with the auction, the underground transaction will be at least 30% lower, which means that Guan Liyuan can make at least 30%.
Even if other people believe in the Di Aihui for three more days, they can't do such a baseless thing...
Because Guan Liyuan is equivalent to mortgaging his auction item to the boss behind the old goblin. If the auction is not held as scheduled, Guan Liyuan's auction item is equivalent to being bought by the boss at the "estimated transaction price", so the old goblin is very excited to use the remote contact device to ask the boss for funds.
Of course, the old goblin did not forget to report Guan Liyuan's name - even if Guan Liyuan didn't remind him, he would do so!
"Mr. Guan specifically asked me to tell him his name. Maybe one of the dukes at the meeting has an old relationship with him..." The old goblin said to the visual communication crystal. This thing is cheaper than the teleportation array, but it is also a luxury item that burns magic crystals. If Guan Liyuan's auction items were not valuable enough, he would not use it easily.
At the same time, the old goblin also thought to himself: Young people still don't understand goblins... friendship? Goblins never talk about friendship when doing business, especially friendship with other members of the same clan, which is worthless!
Although he didn't intend to blacken Guan Liyuan, he was afraid that Guan Liyuan wanted some substantial preferential treatment...
"Really? Let me see... Guan Liyuan? This name is really familiar. I heard someone mention it..."
In the crystal ball, a shiny green ball... No, it was a fat goblin wearing various gems. Looking at Guan Liyuan's name, he fell into deep thought...
"Guan Liyuan, Guan Liyuan... Ah! By the way, it was at the meeting... Prince Deberg mentioned it... Haha..." The fat goblin seemed to be strangled by the neck and made a few meaningless sounds.
The old goblin was shocked. He had never seen his boss so nervous!
Prince Deberg? Although he was one of the three most powerful princes in the Goblin Trade Alliance, his boss, Grand Duke Gaunt, would not be so nervous about the prince's friend, right?
After all, Grand Duke Gaunt was an independent grand duke in the alliance, and there was no superior-subordinate relationship between him and Prince Deberg, so the business lifeline would not be blocked.
But Gaunt was thinking of what Deberg mentioned at that time - in the duel with the masters invited by the Storm God Cult, part of the God Metal was annihilated!
In the God Metal created by the Dwarf King, because of the divinity, at least pseudo-divine power can be erased, otherwise it can only be cut or deformed at most, but it will not cause the content of "God Metal" to decrease!
Being able to reduce the purity of God Metal proves that the other party is at least a demigod...
And the name of that master is "Guan Liyuan". Not only in the Goblin Alliance, but also at the Goblin Dwarf Meeting before, Deberg also mentioned this matter - when did the world have a demigod? Or is it that some demigod is teasing them?
Because the entire Earth Dwarf Society has no demigods to support them, and their current goal is the legendary item, so facing this strange demigod, the Earth Dwarf Society did not want to cause trouble and did not conduct excessive investigations.
"Approve! Yes... grant him a 20% premium. It seems that this auction is likely to resume." Gunter said immediately after he reacted.
At the same time, he also guessed that the "demigod boss" might have inside information!
"Then... Boss, should we purchase some of the underground trading items ourselves?" The old goblin asked hesitantly.
"Stupid! If you can purchase, help Mr. Guan purchase. Don't think about making that little money at this time, you money-grubber!" After Gunter finished speaking, he cut off the contact with a distressed heart - tens of thousands of triangular coins in a minute! The
old goblin couldn't help but tremble his mouth. He couldn't even bear to pay for the phone bill. Who is a money-grubber?
But... let's put aside the question of who is a money-grubber first, after all, he is the boss! We still have to do it!
At the same time, the old goblin began to re-evaluate Guan Liyuan's identity - it was definitely not as simple as "Valen's friend" or "Valen's creditor"...
[Could he be the creditor of Prince Deberg? ] The old goblin was thinking wildly in his heart.
And when he saw Guan Liyuan again, his attitude became more and more attentive, saying that he would provide a premium loan, and repeatedly assured that he would definitely try his best to help Guan Liyuan purchase the items traded underground!
The old goblin did think so... Before seeing the attitude of his boss Gunter, although he didn't want to black Guan Liyuan, he wouldn't help him bargain too much, but now he is truly "wholehearted".
Guan Liyuan had expected this result a long time ago and didn't say much.
He just returned to Valen's manor and waited for accurate news from the Snake Clan...
A day and a half after the auction was cancelled, the news finally reached Barbara City - the coalition forces of the eleven clans were defeated in the ancestral land of the Snake Clan!
It is said that the new queen of the snake clan has used some unknown means to extract all the power of the twelve ancestral statues, directly making the snake clan have twelve more "extreme masters" who are comparable to demigods, and are not restricted by the ancestral land. They will directly chase and kill the old royal family...
Guan Liyuan frowned when he saw the news - the situation is very "subtle". If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the work of one of the two, otherwise it would not be so coincidental, but... he did not do it himself, which made Guan Liyuan a little unsure of who it was.
Similarly, the high-ranking officials and nobles of the six southwestern countries, after knowing the news, their first reaction was to confirm its authenticity again and again. After completely confirming it, they all fell into deep thought - they didn't know whether they should be happy!
The good news for them is that two days ago, the eleven clans that they regarded as a huge threat were completely defeated in the first step!
And the bad news is...
How can the snake clan be so strong? The snake clan is the closest beast clan to the six southwestern countries!
Although the crisis has been resolved temporarily, in the long run, the six countries in the southwest are in greater danger...
"We must contact the Earth Dwarfs immediately... Their territory on the ground is directly adjacent to the Serpent Clan, we must join forces!" Fegala said in the palace.
The same words were said in the other five countries, and even similar words were said in the meeting of the Earth Dwarfs...
A day and a half ago, the six countries in the southwest and the Earth Dwarfs, who had just fallen out, reconciled at a faster speed. As a symbol of friendship, the Southwest Auction was held one day later!
It is reported that due to the mysterious huge capital injection, the postponed auction did not result in too many items being lost...
