"They're here!"
As the group watched Jiang Hao and tens of thousands of sows walk up to the top of the city wall, the person fully covered in armor spoke first.
Jiang Hao and the tens of thousands of sows immediately recognized his accent, and the two of them asked at the same time, "Damn it, what happened to you? You look like this again?"
The figure in dark gold armor paused for a moment.
He seemed to take a deep breath and said, "Stop talking nonsense and come here so I can introduce you."
The tens of thousands of sows looked somewhat strange when they saw that one person was missing from the field. However, they didn't say anything and walked over with Jiang Hao.
The city lord of Jinling City led the two of them to the left of the group and pointed to the first middle-aged man, who was short and stout but had a wild look in his eyes, and said, "He is the manager of the Potion Guild and will be in charge of trading spiritual herbs and potions with players in Dingbei City from now on."
Seeing that Jiang Hao didn't greet him, the man snorted.
Jiang Hao found it strange. "You've come to me to do business, do you expect me to beg you?"
Seeing that the city lord of Jinling City didn't say anything, Jiang Hao didn't bother to pay him any attention.
The city lord of Jinling took two steps back and pointed to the second tall, middle-aged man with a lean build and a very approachable appearance, saying, "He is the manager of the Mount Guild. He sells mounts for land, sea, and air. He will be in charge of selling mounts in Dingbei City from now on."
The tall, thin man stepped forward, greeted Jiang Hao, and then quietly stepped back. Jiang Hao noticed the deliberate distance he was maintaining.
Jiang Hao noticed that among the people present, this was the only one with three elegantly dressed attendants behind him.
Jiang Hao wondered, "Is the profit margin on selling mounts really that high?"
The city lord of Jinling pointed to the three people behind the tall, thin man and said, "The three types of mounts—land, sea, and air—are controlled and operated by three different forces, and these three are representatives of these three forces."
The young man on the left ignored Jiang Hao, the middle-aged man in the middle stared at Jiang Hao coldly, and the man on the right was an elderly man who wasn't too old. He had a smile on his face and quickly cupped his hands to Jiang Hao when he saw him looking over.
Jiang Hao smiled and nodded at him.
The city lord of Jinling took another step back, about to introduce the third, ornately dressed old man holding a goldfish-shaped cane, when Jiang Hao called out the man's name beforehand: "Old Wang? What are you doing here?"
This man was none other than the head of the Black Dragon Hall in Jinling City. He was always respectful to Jiang Hao and was an exceptionally shrewd person. Jiang Hao had just received over 80 million gold coins from him, so of course he couldn't forget him.
Old Wang bowed forward, his tone even more respectful, and said, "Oh, it's rare that you still remember this old man, sir. I'm here today on behalf of the Black Dragon Palace to discuss business with you. The Black Dragon Empire wants to open another Black Dragon Palace branch in Dingbei City. Would you allow that, sir?"
This is like a godsend; it will make transferring money even more convenient now. I believe it won't be long before we can get Senior Sister Jiancheng to take care of it.
Jiang Hao said with great joy, "Welcome, welcome! Of course, you're allowed!"
The city lord of Jinling took another step back and pointed to a burly, bearded man, saying, "He's the manager of the Forging Guild, a once-in-a-century genius, and the prized disciple of a forging master. He'll be in charge of the trade of standard equipment between Dingbei City and the players. Of course, if you can afford the price, having him customize something will definitely satisfy you."
Jiang Hao felt a chill run down his spine.
Let's go together!
But then I thought, in just one more day, the two worlds will merge, and then no one will want money in the real world.
Since he was willing to do business in Dingbei City, Jiang Hao was happy to just sit back and collect rent.
The bearded man stepped forward, bowed, and said warmly, "Greetings, Lord City Lord. You can call me Xiao Liu from now on. If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know through your subordinates."
Jiang Hao nodded and said, "Very well, very well, I, the city lord, wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth!"
Xiao Liu then got up and returned to his original position, his face beaming with undisguised joy.
There was no one behind the City Lord of Jinling, but he still took a step back, turned around, and stood next to Xiao Liu. Pointing to himself, he said, "This is the City Lord of Jinling. He mainly wants to discuss the business of siege equipment with you, Lord City Lord. Such as airships, airships, near- and far-sea ships, giant cannons, and giant crossbows. I wonder if you, Lord City Lord, are interested?"
Before the city lord of Jinling City could finish speaking, Jiang Hao noticed the fat man selling potions snort again.
Jiang Hao had already made up his mind and didn't bother with him anymore. As soon as the City Lord of Jinling City finished speaking, he immediately said, "Yes, of course I'm interested! Very interested!"
Then Jiang Hao approached the city lord of Jinling City and whispered, "Do you have a grudge against that fat guy who sells potions?"
The city lord of Jinling laughed loudly twice, grabbed Jiang Hao's shoulder, and said loudly in front of the fat man, "It's not just that you have a grudge against me, it's that you have a great grudge against me!"
"I blew Youyue City to smithereens with one cannon shot, and then I triggered a fire dragon that burned the entire Youyue Empire. All the jackals in Youyue City became sparks in the fire dragon. Do you think they hate me?"
The fat man selling medicine was furious, his face turning red. The tall, thin man next to him looked embarrassed. The young man to the left behind the tall, thin man stared at the city lord of Jinling City with an unfriendly expression.
Jiang Hao and tens of thousands of sows had their mouths agape in an "O" shape.
Only then did they realize that the mission to attack the Moonlit Empire and stop the Gnoll Empire from building a large teleportation array had been accomplished so brilliantly by this old bastard.
For a moment, Jiang Hao even felt that the city lord of Jinling City was the chosen one.
After a long while, Jiang Hao finally shut his mouth. Tilting his head, he discussed with the city lord of Jinling City, "But he doesn't look like a gnoll to me?"
Tens of thousands of sows chimed in, "He's human, but the potion guild behind him belongs to the beastmen. Who doesn't know that gnolls are the fathers of the beastmen?"
The fat man pointed tremblingly at the tens of thousands of sows, muttering "you, you, you" for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.
Tens of thousands of sows shook their heads and sighed, "Some people, in their pursuit of money, don't even know who their own fathers are. How pitiful and lamentable!"
The fat man and the young man behind the tall, thin man had flushed red and pale faces, looking both ashamed and angry.
Seeing that the matter had been discussed openly, Jiang Hao stopped pretending to be ignorant.
He stepped forward and said, "I know why the person in charge of the teleportation array didn't come today."
不管负责传送阵的是什么人，他背后的势力肯定是豺狼人无疑。在豺狼人大举进攻这个界域的前夕，别说传送阵负责人不来了，就算他今天来到定北城，江浩也不敢让他布置传送阵。
