Guo Binglin once again lowered his head and cupped his hands as he said, "Your Majesty! This subordinate has once again discovered the whereabouts of a Basic City. "
Hearing this, Zhao Fu's frown disappeared, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face as he started to ask about the situation in detail.
The Orc City in the Forest of Horrors had already been conquered by Qin. Leveling up a City to a Great City required three Basic Cities and six Basic Towns, which was much more difficult than before. First of all, three Basic Cities were already quite difficult to conquer.
Zhao Fu had long since ordered people to search for information about the other Basic Cities. There were definitely fewer Basic Cities than system main cities, as most regions didn't have Basic Cities. After all, Basic Cities were war machines, and after condensing a City Lord Seal, they would have immense power and would be able to dominate a region.
For example, the Orc City in the Forest of Horrors occupied an area, and it faced off against the other three system main cities.
If a region had four system main cities, it would be impossible for there to be any Basic Cities. After all, all of the resources and Fate were split between the four system main cities. Only in a region with three or two system main cities would there be Basic Cities.
Most Basic Cities were inhabited by Outlanders, as the indigenous residents were all system main cities. However, the Xiongnu, Khitans, and Tufan Tribes had the same starting conditions as players, and they might even be a bit later. As such, there wouldn't be any City Villages for now.
After asking Guo Binglin, Zhao Fu found out that this was a Kobold City, and it was located two regions away from the Forest of Horrors.
Zhao Fu ordered his people to make all sorts of preparations. Of course, Zhao Fu wasn't going to directly attack it, but he was going to establish a 'friendly relationship' with it.
After resting for another day, Zhao Fu's injuries were almost completely healed. He took a large amount of equipment from the Orc City, which had Shattersteel Iron added to it, and many Hundred Origin Pills added to Hidden Evil and headed to this region.
…
Guo Binglin had already investigated this Kobold City, and he gave it to Zhao Fu.
This Kobold City was called Westpan City, and it was a bit weaker than the Orc City. There were roughly 200,000 Kobolds and 50,000 soldiers, and the City Lord was called Westpan.
Zhao Fu used the teleportation channel that Guo Binglin had set up and arrived in front of Westpan City. Westpan City was a stone city, and its architecture was the same as the Orc City's – it was quite crude, but there were some differences.
Compared to the Orc City, Westpan City was a bit more detailed, and its defenses were much stronger. There were also many watchtowers.
The Kobolds were not as powerful as the Orc City, and they weren't as aggressive, so they were more focused on defense.
After coming to the city gates, Zhao Fu said, "I'm a spice merchant!"
They didn't notice at all of Zhao Zhao Fu, and Zhao, and they saw Zhao, and Zhao Fu, and they saw Zhao, and they, and. of.
They did not feel anything about Zhao Fu's arrival at all, and it was as if it was nothing out of the ordinary. Zhao Fu found a place and started to wait.
It wasn't that strange for Zhao Fu to be trading with Outlanders, as everything was based on profit. As long as both sides benefited, anything could happen.
What's more, Westpan City produced a very special type of spice, which was a top-notch spice. It was incredibly valuable, and adding on the fact that other things could be traded with Westpan City, many people were willing to take the risk to trade with Zhao Fu.
Most of the people in the room were like this. However, this was something that would offend a system main city, so everyone was quite careful.
A while later …
A round-faced Kobold walked out of the room and smiled as he said, "Everyone, the Ceylon Spice and other materials have been prepared. You can trade them now, and the highest bidder will win."
The Kobold brought out a box that was one meter long and 30 centimeters wide. Even before the box was opened, it gave off an intoxicating smell. After the box was opened, the intoxicating smell filled the entire room, and it seemed as if it wouldn't dissipate.
Zhao Fu looked inside and saw that there was a white powder within the box, which was most likely the Ceylon Spice.
"Everyone, let's stick to the old rules!"
After the box was opened, a haughty voice sounded out. It was one of the few people who were able to sit.
The people who were able to sit here most likely had great backgrounds, and the person who had spoken first was most likely from the most powerful faction in the area. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken so arrogantly and confidently.
The others were all from different factions, and after hearing the person's words, they nodded and split the Ceylon Spice according to the old rules.
Every gram of Ceylon Spice was more expensive than gold, and ordinary people couldn't compete with these people. These people were all from the most powerful factions in the area, and no one dared to compete with them. As such, these people completely ignored everyone else.
Everyone else only felt envious. If they brought the Ceylon Spice back to the system main city and sold it to the government, the price would be ten times higher, and a single box would be worth 10,000 or so gold coins.
They couldn't compete with these large factions, and they had only come for some other things in Westpan City. These things would be quite beneficial to them if they could bring them back.
The six people sitting had already discussed how to split the Ceylon Spice, while the Kobold sat at the head of the table and smiled the entire time. He didn't say anything because every transaction brought massive benefits to Westpan City, so he didn't want to interfere. As long as there were enough benefits, it was fine.
"Sir Belin! Let's discuss and proceed with the transaction! "
The haughty voice once again sounded out. Even though he called Belin 'sir', it didn't sound very respectful.
Belin was the Kobold, and he didn't mind this person's tone and was about to agree.
"Wait!"
A voice sounded out from the corner, causing everyone to look over. It was the person who had come in last.
"What is he trying to do?" Everyone felt quite confused.
At that moment, facing countless people's gazes, Zhao Fu walked up and said, "I want all of the Ceylon Spice!"
Everyone present was sent into an uproar – this person didn't want to participate in the distribution of the Ceylon Spice but wanted to take all of it. This was simply too domineering. The other factions had already split the Ceylon Spice, and he didn't put the other factions in his eyes at all.
Immediately!
The people from the other factions' gazes became cold, and the haughty voice mocked, "Which country bumpkin dares to steal from my Wu family? Don't you know who I am?"
Another person coldly laughed, "Nobodies should know how strong they are. If they're too stupid, they might die in the wilderness!"
