(Additional update for brother "Huo Zhengtinghao" [3/15])
"Have they come to their senses?"
In Exodar's cabin, Diakum saw Neri carrying two lunches waiting for him in the cabin. The archbishop's sharp eyes were still looking back and forth on Dick's cheeks and neck, seemingly looking for suspicious "traces".
But no.
Saint At this time, it was as clean as if he had just taken a hot bath or wiped his face with a very obscene handkerchief.
"They got rid of Holy Light Vow who suppressed their emotions, and also changed their path from Pure Light Oath to Light-Shadow Twinborn. Oreses is already good at using Using Holy Light to fight flames, the change of path has little effect on her, but the part of Saloras Casting Talent related to darkness seems to have been accidentally awakened."
Diakum sat next to Neri with some worry, picked up a spoon and drank the soup, and said:
"She is still Lightforged, but she may become the rare Lightforging Shadow Priest. Following my footsteps in the shadows, her spiritual power has been perfectly tempered in twenty thousand years, which is destined to become the most powerful Shadow Walker among the stars.
But I can't make sure she won't get Void Infestation too deep.
Maybe I will have to observe more in the future."
"Well, just put her next to you. She can help you with your official duties on weekdays and warm your heart when necessary."
Neri chewed on a bone and spoke in a long voice, which made Vigilant look back at her.
"Didn't happen what you imagined."
"Shh."
The archbishop stretched out his finger and pointed on Diakum's lips. She shook her head and said:
"As long as I don't care, I won't have any trouble. Eredar Women will encounter this kind of trouble sooner or later in their lives. After all, our leaders just give Aphrodisiac Spell to men and women in order to increase the pitiful population.
You and I are both one of the leaders, as we have said before in Karabor Temple.
Don't worry, just because I can't control my mouth doesn't mean I really have an opinion.
What's more, I really want to be by your side, but once Dark Portal is established, the contact between Azeroth and Draenor will require an archbishop to be responsible for it. Velen talked to me before leaving, and he hopes that I will assume the position of "U'kraine Alliance Diplomat"."
Neri sighed and said:
"The other archbishops have important matters, as well as the "Divine Object" who was placed in Draenor. It's enough for me to escape from my duties and spend such a long time selfishly with you Ranger Time.
The people still need us."
"Isn't Yura doing a good job in her position?"
Diakum held Neri's waist and said:
"Without you, what should I do if I get lost in the light again or bewitched by the shadows?"
"Something's wrong! There's something wrong out of ten or even nine points!"
Neri suddenly looked at Diakum suspiciously. Wannian Ranger quickly discovered the blind spot and said:
"You're usually just like a piece of wood, and you wouldn't say such warm and soft words of love. Today, you are so proactive. Is it because of your guilt? But I believe that your moral standards will restrain your evil intentions. So, what did the two of them do?"
"I just said some words that will make people blush. You know, the emotions suppressed by the oath will always rebound once released."
Dick said with some embarrassment:
"I really haven't done anything else. They are also leaders, Neri. They say they are free, but in fact they have a heavy "Leader's Burden" just like us. Time has passed too long, and we, who were once young, have already been burdened with too many things. Even if we want to indulge, we are always restrained."
"Explaining so much and pretending to be serious, it seems like an old man who is not good at lying is forcing himself to lie."
Neri laughed, came over and nibbled Dick's old face hard, then patted his thick tail and said:
"That doesn't have to be the case. They are different from me. Although I have been lonely for more than 20,000 years, at least I have people around me. Twins has almost been leading Army of the Light to fight against demons for more than 20,000 years. The reason why they suppress their emotions is probably because they are afraid of being affected by loneliness.
They are much worse off than me.
Just let nature take its course.
Don't take the initiative, but don't refuse either. This is how we outrageous Eredars deal with emotional problems.
Eat something quickly, Exodar is about to set sail."
Diakum nodded. Although Neri's suggestion sounded "scumbag", people said it was right. This is how Eredar handles emotional problems, so.
Just let nature take its course.
While drinking soup, he glanced at Character Card and found that the number of members of "Light Weaver Warband" was increasing rapidly. It seemed that more than two thousand Lightforged who came with Twins had chosen their new destination.
Now, I finally have my own military team.
As the number of Lightsworn and Shadewalker in Light Weaver Faith Faction gradually increases, his influence on both Holy Light and the void will continue to increase. Diakum is really curious, what kind of form will his future grow into?
Gadgetzan's urban situation is much better than half a month ago.
Thanks to the help of the kind-hearted "mysterious man", the Goblins in this city have finally been temporarily freed from the influence of Magic Plague. Although they have to find a way to get some seeds to save their lives when Magic Plague appears again next month, at least they can enjoy it for the next time.
The world has been in chaos recently. With the way Goblin behaves, if you don't take advantage of this chaotic period to make a fortune, you will definitely be cursed by the God of Wealth.
Therefore, after the shadow of Magic Plague dissipated slightly, Gadgetzan became lively again, and the merchant ships of Steamwheedle Cartel resumed their usual operating rhythm. It is said that a strange organization called the "Holy Gold Coin" Chamber of Commerce chartered a ship, carrying some kind of potion that is said to be able to cure the disease of wisdom degeneration to Booty Bay, which is now in chaos.
Grand Master Rivigaz personally supervised the transportation. The big businessman was ambitiously trying to regain his lost commercial territory, and hired Gadgetzan's famous "Cape Boss" and his adjutant Mr. Heavy Punch to escort the goods for him.
This seems to be the rhythm of doing something big.
Diakum did not bring anyone else into Gadgetzan.
After all, Exodar is a starship. Although it can fly in the atmosphere, it is a bit too ostentatious. Therefore, Lightforged are staying in the stratosphere to rest. Vigilant only came here with his financial officer Marin Noggenfogger, Archbishop Neri and Black Dragon Princess Onyxia.
As soon as Neri entered Gadgetzan, she saw the casino where she lost all her money that night. She was so angry that her teeth itched, and she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to give it a try again to see if she could get her money back.
She was about to serve as the diplomatic ambassador of the K'ure Alliance when she returned to the Stormwind Kingdom, so she regarded this as her last entertainment during her vacation.
Vigilant did not stop him. Anyway, as long as Noggenfogger Potion sells well, he will get generous dividends. Although most of them will be used to support the development of Light Weaver Order and the war group, it is not a big problem to give some to his girlfriend to spend.
"Steamwheedle Prince is waiting for you at Gadgetzan's "Roadside Warrior" tavern, boss."
Noggenfogger ran to communicate with several Goblin Bodyguard, and said to Diakum when he returned:
"The tavern has been booked by him, and only you are allowed in."
"Maybe it's a trap."
Onyxia, wearing Spiked Heavy Armor, reminded:
"When in danger, use that strange Teleportation Spell you used before and send your loyal Warrior to your side. One Charge from two thousand Lightforged is enough to destroy this miserable Goblin city."
"Don't make trouble! If I really encounter a trap that threatens me, if I go to you, I will be killed."
His Excellency Light Oath Lord waved his hand, not thinking that the most intelligent guy among Goblin businessmen would cause him big trouble, so he straightened his Human Form clothes and walked into the tavern that was protected by bodyguards.
This usually bustling tavern received a guest today. The best old bartender Gadgetzan is carefully preparing fine wines for the distinguished guests. Even the wine used next to it is specially provided by Steamwheedle Prince from his own collection.
Obviously, this very powerful Goblin Trade Tycoon does not intend to let tonight's distinguished guests taste the "Goblin flavor".
Steamwheedle is a standard Goblin.
Years of pampering has made him fatter than the average Goblin, but not to the "obese" level of Gallywix. He wears an exaggerated, red and blue high hat, and a very luxurious fur coat. This is the kind of dress only Goblin, a big businessman, would wear.
But in reality, the face of Steamwheedle is not that impressive, perhaps because in the eyes of other races, Goblin all look the same.
"Please take a seat, distinguished guest."
Goblin Trade Prince jumped off the chair with a smile and personally opened the seat for Diakum. He pointed around and said:
"I could have entertained you on my airship, but my first pot of gold back then was earned by reselling Black Market materials in Undermine's bar, so the bar is a place of great significance to me. Generally, I only entertain partners here when discussing big business.
I think the opportunity you provide me will definitely benefit Steamwheedle Cartel for at least two hundred years!
This is certainly big business."
Diakum smiled and glanced at Steamwheedle Prince's fingers.
The green fingers are covered with rings of different styles. Usually only the nouveau riche would do this, but these rings paired with Steamwheedle's successful businessman's dress feel a bit "icing on the cake".
"The simple Supreme Ring One symbolizes the poverty of a poor boy, the luxurious Supreme Ring Two represents the joy and publicity after getting rich, and the restrained and gloomy Supreme Ring Five tells the low-key extraordinary and Bloodlust instincts of financial predators.
You have great taste.
Being able to collect this rare set of Magic Ring proves your amazing luck."
He commented:
"With this set of magical rings in hand, at least there will be very few people who can threaten your safety in Mortal World. No wonder you dare not bring a bodyguard."
"Wow, this is the first time someone has discovered my secret."
Steamwheedle Prince grinned, snapped his fingers, and asked the bartender to quickly serve drinks to the distinguished guests.
He touched the three rings on his fingers with interest and said:
"When I was most depressed, I got Supreme Ring One from Undermine's Junkyard. It was this worthless Brass Ring that gave me the confidence to persevere.
When I was at my peak, I was deceived by my business partners. They teamed up to kick me out and only gave me a pitiful severance package. At that time, I was very drunk in Kezan and spent all my money in Black Market to get Supreme Ring Two.
This luxurious and elegant ring gave me the confidence and courage to make a comeback.
When my Steamwheedle Cartel finally defeated and annexed other consortiums with ruthless means, and stepped on the "corpses" of countless losers to dominate the South Seas trading system, I discovered Supreme Ring Five in a remote Island Ruins
You are right!
These three rings symbolize three different lives. They are simply jewelry tailor-made for me. They are more like warnings and rewards from the God of Wealth.
Being able to recognize them shows that you have a sharp vision, and I like visionary partners."
Prince picked up the wine at hand, raised his glass to Diakum, and said:
"Then, I wish us a happy cooperation and make a fortune together."
"Huh? Why don't you discuss the details with me?"
Dick picked up the wine glass and said:
"This is Affair of State. One careless move can wipe out the wealth you have worked for most of your life."
"I no longer care about profits when doing business. Sir, what I invest in is not boring numbers, but people! People like you, and people like Anduin Lothar."
Steamwheedle Prince waved his hand nonchalantly and said:
"I have not been idle during this period. I used my connections to review this business, and I found that Lothar has received the full support of Quel'Thalas, not to mention his base Stormwind Kingdom.
The most important thing is"
The Goblin big businessman put the wine glass in front of his eyes and observed the world in front of him through the pink wine. He grinned and said:
"Northern Borderlands is going to be in chaos! Diakum, Steamwheedle Cartel Twenty-one of the thirty-seven shops in Northern Borderlands were robbed, and the remaining ones are preparing to close temporarily. That damn place is now full of cultists creating chaos, and the king and lords can't suppress it at all!
This is normal.
The chaos caused by Magic Plague and the guidance of the devil made me realize that Eastern Continent Northern Borderlands has become a real powder keg.
Now there's just a spark left, and that place will explode!
Human King country has maintained an era of division for 2800 years and is about to collapse, but Anduin Lothar has just won a war.
He is a big golden pig in the limelight. As long as he does not seek death, it will only be a matter of time before Human Empire rebuilds in the chaos. Thanks to your invitation, I can send my help at this perfect moment.
What I paid was only a negligible amount of money, and what I got was almost everything a Goblin could aspire to have!
With such a perfect business, what details do we need to talk about?"
Steamwheedle held the wine glass high and said loudly:
"My hesitation for a second is disrespectful to my profession and vision, so come and clink glasses, partner, for the world that is about to be invaded by demons, for the victory we are destined to win, and for the delicious feast that will be devoured by the winner!"
"Bang"
The wine glasses collided together, making a crisp sound.
Diakum drank the perfect tasting wine in one gulp and said:
"I actually have a business here."
"Please tell me, I'm all ears."
Steamwheedle's drinking capacity is very poor. One glass of wine makes him a little tipsy, but this does not rule out that this guy is pretending.
It looked at Diakum until Vigilant told Titan Device that was hidden all over the world and his plan to deal with Titan Remnant Forces. Even such a generous Goblin businessman as Steamwheedle was completely attracted.
After Diakum finished speaking, it narrowed its eyes and said:
"You mean, you want to sell me those Titan Technology?"
"To be precise, I hired you to deal with the "trophies" I will produce along the way."
Dick explained:
"Due to some special reasons, I cannot use any power or weapons related to Titan, but those technologies are definitely helpful to this world.
Azeroth has magic, but Goblin and dwarf engineering will always shine. Someone must shoulder the responsibility of spreading Technological Power. We can't really bury those dangerous things under the earth.
Titans have left them behind, so let the world make good use of them.
I think you can help me solve this problem. More importantly, an outstanding businessman like you will not be willing to work on the earth all his life.
Now, there is a Naaru technology starship floating in the sky tens of thousands of meters above our heads. It came across the star sea a few days ago, and in the war between Army of the Light and Burning Legion, Ethereal Both sides of Consortium are very good at doing business. Even in Land of the Dead, there are outstanding Broker businessmen driving their Flying City "Veiled Market" to do business.
Goblin is the Commercial Representative of Azeroth. You can't wait until the dust settles before you think about Commercial Market stepping into the stars."
"Hmm"
Steamwheedle Prince Open your mouth wide.
No matter how powerful it is, it cannot imagine the scene outside the planet on its own, but in a few words Diakum sketched it out, and a vibrant and chaotic starry world appeared in the eyes of the big businessman.
As Goblin, the best businessman in the world, he immediately thought of various possibilities.
"Can you introduce me to the business representative of Consortium?"
Steamwheedle Prince drank another large glass of wine. It stroked its ring and said:
"I always have to exchange experiences with outstanding colleagues to determine the next development path for Steamwheedle Cartel."
"No problem!"
Diakum said:
"Dark Portal will soon be standing in the Stormwind Kingdom, and one of our Eredar Star Sea Clan will soon arrive in the Draenor world. It is said that one of Consortium's Star Sea Merchant is on their starship.
At that time, you will definitely have the opportunity to meet your peers and listen to them describe to you the business rules in the stars.
Of course, if you can bring out the goods that they are interested in, you might also be able to make a lot of money."
"Titan Technology!"
Steamwheedle blinked, and Trade Prince laughed boldly, and his opponent said to Diakum:
"Okay! As Light Weaver Warband Spoils Merchant, right? I'll take over this job! By the way, does your newly built Light Weaver Warband and religious order need a little investment from Holy Light Follower?
Although I am a Goblin, I have actually admired Holy Light Doctrine for a long time.
I'm not kidding, faith is a very precious thing in my opinion, everyone should have faith!
This way, when we are down and out, we won't have nothing. So, if you feel happy doing business with believers, then I can be baptized now."
"Whether your pragmatic approach to faith is acceptable to Holy Light is debatable, but investment. Of course, now is a good time to invest in Light Weaver Faction."
