"Speaking of which, the conditions offered by the Earth Dwarfs are very generous." Guan Liyuan and Heywood mentioned this matter again. "
Yes, thanks to Mr. Guan... But it can't be considered as an offer from the Earth Dwarfs, it's just a trade viscount." Heywood said.
Guan Liyuan didn't say much, but he was almost certain that there was something wrong with the underground city!
When the people from the Earth Dwarfs met him before, Guan Liyuan asked about the "Ancestor God Map", and the other party could be said to know everything - the auctioneer was actually a goblin trade marquis, who searched out the compensation from the borrower's home during the loan.
But when Guan Liyuan mentioned the God Metal Cockpit, the other party just made an excuse that a young master from a duke's family was making trouble, and kept silent about the underground city.
It can be seen that the Earth Dwarfs don't care much about the "Ancestor God Map", but they are very cautious about the underground city near Storm City.
Therefore, Guan Liyuan could almost confirm that the Earth Dwarfs were indeed looking for something there, but their source of information was not the Ancestral God Map, and they didn't even know that what they were looking for was related to the Ancestral God...
After returning to Storm City, Guan Liyuan wanted to dispel the concerns of the Earth Dwarfs on the one hand, and was really curious on the other hand, so he asked the Earth Dwarfs for the same important information.
"Grand Duke Gaunt, this time the Snake People's Clan suddenly mastered the ability to extract the ancestral spirit statues. I wonder if the Earth Dwarfs have any clues? In recent months, have there been any changes in the materials traded by the Snake People's Clan to other countries?" Guan Liyuan asked the green fat goblin in front of him.
That's right, the Earth Dwarfs did react after learning that Guan Liyuan had returned to Storm City. In the auction, the trading Duke Gaunt, who had indirectly contacted Guan Liyuan, was specially stationed in Storm City... Grand Duke
Gaunt's purpose here was to cooperate with Guan Liyuan on the one hand, and to "monitor" Guan Liyuan on the other hand, to see what his purpose was in coming to Storm City, and whether it was related to the things in the underground city!
As for Guan Liyuan, he has always acted as if he was only targeting the Snake Clan, but in fact he has summoned the "Hidden Dragon" to investigate the underground city.
Although the defense is too tight, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, there is no in-depth investigation, but... from the current military base-level defense scale in the underground city, it can be seen that there is something fishy!
Not to mention the purpose of mining some minerals, the scale of the blockade and the defense force are far beyond the ability of a trade viscount.
"In recent months... there have been some changes, mainly since three months ago. Mainly from other clans, and our Earth Dwarf Society... even from the three major countries at a high price to smuggle some raw materials for the layout of the spirit array, and some high-quality spiritual medicines for strengthening the foundation. As for the method of transferring the power of the ancestral statue of the new queen to the living snake man, there is no clue for the time being." Seeing that Guan Liyuan was asking about the Snake Clan, Gunter immediately answered in detail.
The external trade of the Snake Clan is not all done with the Earth Dwarfs, but the trading network of the goblins is all over the world. Maybe some human caravan or orc caravan has goblin shares...
Therefore, the Earth Dwarfs have actually been counting these recently, hoping to solve the mystery of the ancestral spirit statue.
Although the Earth Dwarfs define themselves as "businessmen", but... the Snake Clan and the Dwarf Kingdom are too close!
The sudden rise of the Snake Clan made the Earth Dwarfs dare not put all their hopes on the basis that the Snake Clan has no interest in them.
"Can I see the list of imports of various countries in the past three months?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"This..." Gaunt hesitated.
The Snake Clan is now the main defense target of the Earth Dwarfs, so they are willing to share the intelligence of the Snake Clan with other forces that oppose the Snake Clan, but they are somewhat resistant to leaking the trade situation of other countries.
Even if it is just from the perspective of "business opportunities", this information is worth a thousand gold!
"I just want to take a look, I won't leak it... It will only take a short while." Guan Liyuan's serious expression was like a young man in a small hotel who said "I can only rub in, I can't go in."
Gunter had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll go and apply to the Federation."
The Dwarfs may also want to attract Guan Liyuan's attention to prevent him from staring at the underground city, so in the afternoon of the same day, Gunter sent several volumes of international trade summaries...
It records all the trading projects between countries in which goblins directly or indirectly participate in the trading channels!
"Mr. Guan, this is the three princes and His Majesty the Dwarf King, personally approved to send it to you. Except for some extremely sensitive projects, all the international trading items in the past three months are here." Gunter said.
Upon hearing this, Guan Liyuan repeatedly promised that he would not leak irrelevant information. At the same time, while flipping through it, he asked Penguin to enter the information into the forum and compare it with the Snake Clan...
Since one of the two Medusas is in this plane, the other one is also likely to be in the same plane, and the things they need are also likely to overlap!
[Huh? Holy Rude Empire?】 Guan Liyuan looked at Penguin's analysis conclusion in confusion.
In the past two months, the spiritual medicines purchased by Holy Rude Empire from abroad overlapped with some of those purchased by the Snake People's Clan!
Another part was originally a local specialty of Holy Rude Empire, and the export volume in the past two months has also decreased...
Another part has nothing to do with healing, and it is most likely that the new queen needs to transform the ancestral statue.
[Is there something wrong with the Holy Rude Empire?] Guan Liyuan had a vague guess in his heart.
"Has anything big happened in the Holy Rude Empire in the past two or three months?" Guan Liyuan asked.
Gunter thought for a while and said, "Holy Rude... There were floods in the west, and the prices of agricultural and sideline products and anti-epidemic medicines rose; a kind of lacquerware began to become popular among the nobles in the capital; the purchase volume of military supplies increased... Ahem, it doesn't seem to be a big deal."
Gunter understood it very well, but the things he said were indeed very useful for businessmen, but for Guan Liyuan... trivial! He couldn't associate it with Medusa at all!
Seeing Guan Liyuan's helpless eyes, Gunter murmured and gave up, but then his expression changed, as if he remembered it again, but he might feel that it was not a big deal, so he swallowed it back...
Fortunately, Guan Liyuan noticed this scene and took the initiative to ask: "Did you remember something again?"
"This... is not a big deal. I just heard that the King of Saint Rude has suddenly fallen in love with a new princess recently. However, because the demigod ancestor of Saint Rude is still there, plus the cabinet system, it will not have too much negative impact on the political situation. However, in the future, the demand for women's skin care products in the folk will also rise in Saint Rude... Ahem, it's not an important thing." Gunter said.
"New princess?" Guan Liyuan's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Gunter, and he seemed to be very concerned about it.
Just when Guan Liyuan added another person to his suspect list, new news came from the Snake Clan and the three major countries. Even the six southwestern countries were not stable...
