Few factions will welcome the undead.
To access those shelves, you must possess greater influence.
" The goblin harbored a dislike for the undead, especially those exuding the aura of death.
Were it not for Fong Hao, had Rur approached, this goblin likely would not have offered such extensive explanations.
"What if these items sell out?" Fonggho continued to inquire.
"These are offerings from the region's top factions," refreshed monthly.
"If you find something enticing, you must earn money this month.
Otherwise, you may not know when it will reappear.
" The goblin produced a silk handkerchief to wipe the fallen wine cup before refilling it with drink.
And what if some nefarious individuals, hypothetically speaking, were to come and rob us? Wouldn't that be quite a windfall for them? Fong house suddenly pondered this concern.
Not to mention whether they could even locate this place.
Even if they could, if they dared to rob it, they would have done so long ago.
This continent has never been lacking in greedy fools, the goblin conceded.
You have a point, he added.
Chapter 148.
The skeleton merchant after engaging in conversation with the goblin.
Fonggho found himself with a drink in hand as he returned to Ruer's side.
Taking a seat at the table nearby.
It appeared that the gentleman was quite amiable with the goblin.
Ruer remarked, "What is the matter? Not everyone can procure a drink from goblin.
" "Oh, perhaps we simply resonate well with each other.
" Fungho replied, and Jia, quietly listening, learned of the rarity of goblin wine and took a sip.
However, upon tasting it, her expression contorted in an instant.
Discreetly, she returned the drink to the cup and pushed it back towards Fong Ho.
Have you grasped the situation? Now you understand the significance of the battlefire coin, don't you? With sufficient wealth, one can swiftly ascend to the pinnacle of power in this region, Ruer reiterated, underscoring the importance of the battle fire coin.
Though somewhat exaggerated, Funghow comprehended Ruer's message.
The essence of the battle fire coin was clear.
With it, there was nothing unattainable.
Weapons, equipment, skill, potions, even methods of immortality could all be acquired here, provided one possessed either wealth or strength.
Yet, most individuals often lack both.
Those with wealth, but without strength, would merely become targets for plunder.
Conversely, possessing strength naturally opened avenues to acquire wealth.
The two were inextricably linked.
Indeed, wealth is of paramount importance.
Fong Hao concurred.
Look at that building.
Ruer gestured towards the four-story stone edifice across the way.
Ah, that is the auction house.
Each year, one or two auctions are held here and Lord Odysius participates in every event.
You might just encounter him next time.
Um, Lord Odysius attends such auctions.
Of course, they are held only twice a year, and even if one does not intend to purchase anything, it serves as a splendid opportunity to engage with the outside world.
That is indeed true, Fong, how acknowledged.
Even without purchasing, one could glean insights into what rival factions were acquiring, and through such gatherings, forge connections, or discuss potential collaborations.
After a brief exchange, the group exited the establishment and made their way towards the teleportation zone.
Before parting, Fong Hao handed Ruer a pouch of coins as remuneration for his assistance.
Ruer accepted it with delight, showing no inclination to refuse.
Upon returning to the territory via the teleportation array, it was already afternoon, and Jia, bouncing with enthusiasm, sought out Eair to recount her adventure to the Trading Alliance.
Naturally, a mundane narrative lacked intrigue, and she intended to embellish it with tales of bullies and street battles to render the story more captivating.
Fungho, however, did not return immediately to the Lord's Manor.
Instead, he proceeded directly to the marketplace, intent on commencing the construction of the Trading Allianc's building.
Trading Alliance Hall: Toughwood, 1200, Stone Bricks 800, iron 320, metal parts 110, magic essence 20, Mithril 15.
The Alliance Hall is not an independent structure, but rather an expansion of the existing marketplace, representing a significant enhancement.
The decision to construct this building transformed the previous marketplace into a radiant beacon with the wooden stalls evolving into a two-story stone edifice.
The footprint of the hall has expanded, and above the entrance hangs the emblem of the Celestial Eye Alliance, signifying its identity.
The previously enclosed stalls have vanished, replaced by an expansive warehouse for goods, flanked by several empty shelves designated for storage.
Level one alliance hall.
Category: Alliance structure, registered faction, undead, recruitable, skeleton merchant, skeleton merchant, wriggling spine one, warfire coins 10.
Faction ability arrival allows merchants to be transported to the designated marketplace.
Test phase order completion 03.
The Celestial Eye Alliance has constructed this exclusive building for its members.
Each time the skeleton merchant RUL appears at the marketplace, it is facilitated by the faction's ability to arrive.
RUL specializes in selling blueprints and magical artifacts, commodities that Fongo currently lacks.
Thus, the future focus will naturally shift towards the mass production of goods, leveraging a 100fold amplification to create maximum value.
The first step is to recruit the skeleton merchant.
Skeleton merchant.
Wriggling spine one.
Warf fire coins.
10.
Recruit one.
A flash of brilliance.
100fold amplification triggered.
Recruiting skeleton merchant 101.
Before Fongo stands 101 elegantly attired skeleton merchants, each wielding a cane.
My lord, we are at your service.
They collectively bow, their voices echoing through the chamber.
Fongghow realizes that while all skeletons share the same recruitment criteria, each possesses distinct characteristics.
The skeleton tailor bears a measuring tape draped over his shoulder.
The skeleton blacksmith carries a hammer and the skeleton merchants appear in full regalia complete with canes.
H indeed the additional 10 warfire coins for recruiting are for their attire.
No wonder.
Welcome to the fold.
Fonhow addresses the foremost skeleton merchant.
What is your name? Esteemed Lord, I am called Duo Gene.
A splendid name.
I like it.
From this moment, you shall oversee operations here, and the tasks assigned will be delegated by you.
Fong how proclaims loudly.
It is undeniable that the name of the first recruited merchant carries a sense of destiny.
Thank you, my lord.
I shall not disappoint your expectations.
Duo Gene bows respectfully.
Skeleton merchant duo gene s loyalty to you increases by 10 points.
Current loyalty 80 points.
Now having just joined the alliance, Duo Gene, please consider how to proceed next.
Fonga directly poses the question to Duo Gene.
In the future, he cannot be expected to oversee the alliance constantly.
It must be managed by Duo Gene.
Very well, my lord.
Duo Gene strides confidently to the counter and delicately presses a button beneath it.
