Chapter 187
Hearing the Queen’s words, the eyes of the 20 people flashed with complex emotions. Although they knew it would be like this, it is still difficult to hear others say this in person. accept.
The nine people who decided to stay couldn’t help but secretly rejoice that they made the right decision, and the eleven people who decided to go home first were also thinking: after returning home, bring their wives, children and children with them as soon as possible. Move to Westwind Town. this world only Godfather will consider for us, only in Godfather’s territory, we can have a real life.
“Okay, then the matter is settled like this.” Robb laughed to the twenty people: “You guys seem to be staying in Westwind Town for a few days, waiting for the female Young Lady Wang to send Someone will bring the pass here.”
Twenty people hurriedly greeted themselves as a gift, and after thanking them, they went to the rental house with Wangjiang feelings.
Second day, a manticore came to Westwind Town with a messenger from Queen Your Majesty, along with the first batch of fifty special passes.
Those who hold these passes are chartered through the Crystal Canyon passes.
Robb handed out passes to the eleven who wanted to go home, and watched them head north with a 5,000-yard line of sight.
These people may come back, or they may never return, and no one can guarantee what kind of judgment they will make in the future.
However, it is indisputable that they are free, and the demonstration they have set is extremely powerful. They set a good example for the more than 3,000 people in prison and pointed out a new life path for them.
The more than 3,000 prisoners in Xifeng Prison suddenly became diligent, their work became more diligent, and their performance became better. Even the most troublesome thorns are now starting to become obedient and do things seriously and cooperatively.
All reform through labor prisoners began to desperately strive for a commutation of their sentences and work hard toward a new life.
Ten days later, a diplomatic team led by diplomats from the desert kingdom came to Westwind Town…
Chapter 260 Crude Oil
Desert The diplomat sent by the kingdom was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had no armor on his body and was wearing the traditional clothing of the desert kingdom, a black skirt. According to them, the name of this clothing was It’s called “Kufier”.
His entourage is not armored either, just carrying a few machetes, obviously just to prevent monsters such as goblins and ogre from attacking them, not to fight the Gran Kingdom again. mean.
Robb was in his church yard, sitting on his favorite stone chair, and warmly welcomed the diplomatic team who came to send money. Well, it’s actually just sitting there and waiting for them to come to him.
He didn’t even leave his butt off the stone chair, so of course all the things like standing up to greet him were omitted.
However, no one in the diplomatic team from the desert kingdom dared to be dissatisfied with him, nor dared to look down on this lazy guy, because he was already in the battle to defeat the Sphinx. Proving his greatness, everyone in the desert kingdom can’t help but change their faces when they hear the word “Robert”.
The diplomat gave a respectful salute in front of Robb: “Dear Mr. Robb, on behalf of the desert kingdom, I would like to extend my sincerest greetings to you.”
“It’s good to say It’s easy to say.” Robb pointed to the opposite side of the stone table with a smile: “Sit!”
The diplomat sat down opposite the stone table, and then said solemnly: “Xiaguan came to Westwind Town this time to get With the permission of Your Majesty, Queen of your country, I have come to redeem three important nobles in our country.”
“Well, Young Lady Wang has already told me about this.” Robb said with a smile: “The price has also been written clearly in the credentials. The commander-in-chief is 1,000 gold coins, the great shaman is 600, and the Madara is 600. I have no objection. As long as I see the money, I will release it.”
Diplomat nodded: “Okay, I’ll pay immediately.”
He waved his hand, and a machete warrior dressed in “Kufier” walked away with a small box come over.
This box is not big, Robb can see at a glance that it is impossible to hold 2200 gold coins.
I saw that the diplomat lifted the lid of the box, and there really was no gold coin inside, only eight pieces of amber, three of which were insect in the middle.
“en?” Robb said: “Didn’t you agree to give money? What are you playing?”
The diplomat said a little embarrassedly: “It’s like this, At this time, the defeat of the Eastern Route Army made the Pharaoh very angry and disappointed with the performance of all the generals of the Eastern Route Army. The nobles couldn’t get more than 2,000 gold coins in a short period of time, so they rummaged through the boxes at home and looked for them, and finally found these ambers, these things are precious treasures that are priceless, they should be able to…”
“You can be a ghost!” Robb interrupted him decisively: “It’s just some resin dripped on the insect, and then petrified into something, worth a ghost town, just this kind of product. Xiang, you can buy one for only 20 yuan on a certain treasure, and you want to use it to fool me?”
The diplomats basically couldn’t understand his messy words, what resin, petrochemical, certain treasure , 20 yuan, but I heard a meaning, that is, Robb is not interested in amber at all.
The diplomat hurriedly said, “Mr. Robert, this is amber, it’s a very valuable thing.”
“It’s worthless, useless rubbish, almost fooling Xiaobai. “Robb said with a smile: “With this kind of rubbish, I want to exchange three big living people for me, unless I am mentally retarded, I don’t think this person needs to be exchanged, tear up the ticket and tear up the ticket.”
Diplomat Khan: “It’s absolutely impossible to tear up the ticket! I’ll think of a way. Well, since Mr. Robert doesn’t like amber, I can only try to take out the gold coin as much as possible… The part that is really not enough, let’s see how this thing goes.”
He asked his men to take the amber down, and then brought a wooden barrel over.
This bucket is not big, only the size of an ordinary bucket, and it doesn’t look like it can hold much.
However, as soon as it was placed on the stone table, Robb’s nose smelled a pungent odor, his eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately thought of something very, very Important, and it happens to be something that is produced in large quantities in the desert kingdom.
I saw the diplomat open the bucket lid, and then, a bucket of black, sticky liquid appeared in front of Robb.
Is it crude oil?
Robb is a little unsure, after all, in later life, he has not seen petroleum crude oil with his own eyes, only gasoline extracted from petroleum crude oil.
If he wasn’t sure, he didn’t talk nonsense, just put a smile on his face that seemed to be in control, squinted at the diplomat, and waited for him to explain to himself.
Sure enough, what the diplomat brought out, of course, had to be explained. He pretended to be mysterious and introduced a good thing and said, “The name of this thing is kerosene! Don’t look at it. The black one looks ugly, but it burns very powerfully. If it is used to make incendiary bombs, a large ship can be set on fire in a blink of an eye, and when it burns, it will produce highly poisonous, and the enemies that cannot be burned will also be killed. poison to death. Can we use this kind of kerosene to cover the insufficient part of our gold coin?”
Listening to him, Robb can be sure that this is really oil.
Awesome stuff!
Oil plays a pivotal role in both conventional technology and game technology.
Although Robb doesn’t know anything about chemical engineering, but in the “Dark Blade” game he has been playing, there is a professional skill called “engineering”, which contains many Engineering products related to petroleum.
Robb couldn’t do those things before, but with oil, almost all oil-related products can be activated.
Robb’s heart blossomed with joy, but on the surface, he was completely motionless, and even showed a look of contempt: “No matter how hard you blow, this black oil can only be used to light a fire. If I want to light a fire, I can use the Fireball Technique.”
After finishing speaking, Robb raised a finger and jumped a fireball with his fingertips.
Seeing the flames lit up, the diplomat was startled, quickly picked up the oil drum on the table, and jumped back a long way: “Mr. Robert, this thing can’t be touched. Fire will blow us all away.”
Robb pretended not to understand: “Isn’t that equivalent to explosion? I will too!”
He turned to in The sky pointed, and the sound of in midair “hong” exploded a big spark.
The diplomat was taken aback. Robb, who didn’t need to chant a spell, could do an explosion with just one finger. It was simply frantic and scary.
He couldn’t help but feel a little sad in his heart: It’s over, it seems that Mr. Robert is not interested in kerosene either. He neither wants amber nor kerosene. Money, how can we talk about this business?
Chapter 261 Give me 2,000 barrels
The diplomat is frowned, but it’s not that these nobles can’t get 2,200 gold coins, it’s just negotiating this matter, everyone wants to Try to strive for more benefits. If you can save money, of course, it is best to not spend money. If you use some messy things to get rid of the other party, that is a big advantage.
However, Robb is smarter than he imagined, and neither amber nor kerosene can impress him. It seems that he has to pay in the end.
He sighed and was about to say: Forget it, let’s try to raise gold coins.
Unexpectedly, before the words were spoken, Robb grabbed ahead with an extra gracious expression: “I thought about it carefully, if your black oil can really be used for burning, it would be Much more useful than amber, at least I can use it to cook, lest my little maid keep making a fire. I shall make friends with your desert kingdom, throw out the olive branch of peace, and plant the seeds of friendship. gold coin one I don’t want any of you, as long as you give me two thousand barrels of this oil, pay attention, it’s not this small bucket, it’s the big bucket I use for bathing, two thousand buckets! I will reluctantly return the three nobles to you Those three are all great characters, and they are worth 2,000 barrels of black oil that can only be used for burning, so it should be fine, right?”
Robb made a frantic quotation, and the three exchanged for 2,000 bath barrels. Oil, I feel a little unreasonable, should be dragged to humane destruction.
But he still boldly quoted the price, because he could guess that people in this world must not know the preciousness of oil, nor can they make reasonable use of it. Come on, oil should just be a liquid that can be used to burn and emit poisonous fumes. It can only be used as a weapon, and nothing else can be done.
