"Thank you very much for your help. You've done us a great favor."
The temporary captain of the Eagle's Crown mercenary group was quite sincere in his thanks. His bald and mottled head reminded me of a half-peeled tea egg under the lava's reflection. Rorschach smiled in response.
"Can you be more practical?"
"We'll repay this favor in the form of material objects. I don't know if you're looking for material objects or divine tributes. "
Hmm, that's great. Rorschach nodded in satisfaction. Thanks and whatnot weren't as practical as money.
However, no matter how one looked at it, the Eagle's Crown Church didn't seem to be in the mood to continue chatting with Rorschach.
In front of Rorschach's honesty, even "Volcano" couldn't hide his hostility and true thoughts. The mellow feeling of a native that he gave off was completely gone.
The higher-ups of the Eagle's Crown were probably in an uproar. Their plan to explore the land with other major churches had been proven to be a huge joke. Large amounts of resources had been thrown into the water.
When the target of your investment was full of hostility and had ulterior motives, the more you invested, the more you would lose.
The previous plan of the joint exploration team was to use this land as a base and use the natural defense against lightning to build a small town. They would use this land as the core to explore and develop.
But now, if they really built a base and a town, wouldn't that be the same as giving away their vital points to the enemy?
Not only that, considering that "Volcano" might have a powerful force and individual strength that exceeded most of the known high-risk targets, they had to stay as far away from his territory as possible.
They had to start all over again. More than a year's worth of new blood not only went down the drain but also left behind hidden dangers. They also had to maintain a peaceful attitude and discuss rewards with an outsider like Rorschach. Rorschach was starting to worry about the last few strands of this bald leader's hair.
Rorschach didn't ask what the Eagle's Crown and Unther had agreed on. After all, this was their secret. But now, even if he used his knees to think, it would all be for naught.
Unther wouldn't be able to get what he wanted. The Eagle's Crown would have to start all over again in another place.
His companions had ugly expressions on their faces. No one had expected such a situation to happen. Originally, they had only asked Rorschach to act as insurance to ensure the sincerity of the other party. Who would have thought that they would encounter such a situation?
Logically speaking, this was a good thing. But personally speaking, it was rather difficult to accept. It was just like a certain classic RPG game that was 70% developed and about to be released on the market, but then someone told the developers and developers that the RPG genre was already a failure, that the standalone game was dead, and that it was now the era of pay-to-win mobile games … that person was quite lucky that they hadn't been beaten to death.
As an outsider, Rorschach sensibly kept his distance from the angry upper echelons of the large churches and started his own work.
Yes, Rorschach also had a job here, and it was a job that he had been preparing for a long time.
Rorschach had already learned that this was the Giant's residence through the information he had gathered. How could he not have made any preparations?
The Game Church had gone all out to collect dimensional bags and dimensional bags, and they were filled to the brim. Now, the goods that were poured out formed a small mountain.
Four exquisite humanoid puppets began organizing the goods and preparing to sell them. With Rorschach's presence as a WiFi, the ones controlling the puppets and guiding the transactions behind the scenes were the Game Church's most outstanding merchants and negotiation experts.
Most of the goods were daily necessities for the Giant, as well as some simple entertainment equipment. Judging from his previous experience with the Eagle's Crown, there was no need to worry about sales.
Originally, Rorschach had intended to sell off a large amount of goods before leaving. Even if the other churches were dissatisfied, he would have to leave anyway.
His first transaction was all for the sake of good karma, and he didn't intend to give anything in return. He could even sell the goods for free. His goal was to build a foundation for the future, and at the very least, get to know some familiar faces … The unkind Game Church obviously wanted to secretly sell the goods for themselves.
After some calculations, the Game Church's flagship should have completed its lightning-resistant upgrade. It should have been possible for them to try selling goods here.
But now, the situation had obviously changed.
They didn't know when the next transaction would be. For a one-time transaction like this where there would be no repeat customers, they would naturally sell the goods for as much as they could and make as much money as they could.
At this time, the other churches wouldn't have the time to care about their interactions with the locals. Judging from Lori's feedback, these large churches seemed to have simply admitted that they were unlucky and directly gave up on this territory.
In that case, they naturally acquiesced to Rorschach's actions of clearing out the goods in the warehouse right next to their stalls.
That's right, the Eagle's Crown had also brought goods here. Now, they were unhesitatingly clearing out the goods in the warehouse.
This wasn't the first time they had traded with the outside world. Just as they finished setting up their stalls, customers arrived.
Not only were there fire giants among the customers, there were also all sorts of strange elemental creatures. In fact, Rorschach even recognized a few elemental creatures that he suspected to be Elemental Lords.
However, that still wasn't the most ridiculous part of this volcano kingdom. Rorschach even recognized some stone-bodied dwarves and dwarves. They brought their own transportation tools and tools with them. It would seem that not only were there warriors and guardians here, there were also ordinary citizens and scholars.
"… What village? This is obviously a kingdom."
Not only did the Eagle's Crown bring the habit and trust of doing business here, it also confirmed that the volcano faction had the most valuable goods to trade with.
At the very least, due to their previous habits, these natives didn't bring their large and useless tools or furniture to trade with.
Rorschach saw many valuable and rare magical gems among the "currency" that the purchasers brought. This was a hard currency that could be used in any dimension.
Rorschach personally witnessed a fist-sized phoenix agate being traded for a mega-sized boomerang.
This type of gem was incredibly rare and precious in the Aishi Continent. It was said that the evolution of the legendary phoenix would require such a gem. A single phoenix agate would be enough for the phoenix to serve you once.
It was evident that this type of gem was quite rare even in trade. Rorschach saw that the descenders at his stall were staring so hard at the agate that their eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
However, the lower-level goods, especially the various magical gems and fire-element specialties, were truly astonishing.
300% of the profits? Even Rorschach, an amateur merchant, knew that if this amount of profits could be calculated, it would likely be more than 30,000%.
No, this was impossible to calculate from the very start. This was basically the same as exchanging a stone for gold of equal quality.
The only thing that made him sigh was that the legend of exchanging a glass orb for gold was impossible to replicate. After all, it was quite common to see shiny stones here.
"Everyone says that the profits from cross-border trade and exploring new worlds are great, but I never expected it to be so great. Would they be willing to give up such a trade point? "
[How could they not be willing? Their tentacles aren't limited to this place. Perhaps there are even better ones there. Besides, are you sure that this excessive profit isn't something that the locals are using to fool you?]
Rorschach was speechless. He really couldn't refute this.
He had seen the craftiness of that "Volcano", and he didn't seem like a native who hadn't gone out to see the world.
Taking out excessive profits to attract outsiders like you to stay here and run errands for a long time, but the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Especially now that "Volcano" was confirmed to be harboring evil intentions.
However, Rorschach quickly realized that cross-border trade wasn't so easy to do.
"Outsiders, prove your strength to me, the brave warrior Suo Suo 'er. Are you the prey or the traders?"
Within the range of the trade point, a huge fire giant raised a huge burning stone rod and provoked Rorschach.
Those who had the ability to protect themselves were the targets of the trade. Otherwise, they would just be the prey that was casually harvested. This was very much in line with the logic of the primitive tribes.
The other descenders in the surroundings looked as if they were watching a good show. It was obviously impossible to count on them to come out and help the competitors in the trade.
Rorschach could only use his own strength to prove that he was the hunter and not the prey.
However, at this moment, as the center of attention, his face was absent-minded. He looked at Suo Suo 'er and muttered almost instinctively.
