Chapter 197 West
Chapter 197 West
Compared to the tents used as temporary shelters in the periphery, the closer you get to the central area, the more you will find your shelters are replaced by brick and stone buildings built with simple construction magic.
Although it was only temporarily built with magic, the interior is extremely luxurious, showing the owner's nobility.
However, in Ronnie's opinion, it was just that. After all, some decorations were just for show. After the market was over, the merchants would move them away. Therefore, some really valuable things would not be displayed here.
Ronnie followed Victor to find where West was, and was taken to the reception room by West's men to wait.
After sitting down, Ronnie recalled the weapons packed in boxes he had seen along the way.
Compared to the original M1 revolver, the ones Ronnie saw were more advanced, almost reaching the level of firearms in the Second World War in his previous life. Ronnie even saw a Thompson submachine gun.
In this world dominated by magic, seeing these hot weapons really affects the style of painting.
Not long after, West, knowing that an old friend wanted to see him, came here.
West is a middle-aged man in his fifties. Time has carved deep wrinkles on his face, but this does not make him look old, especially his sharp eyes like an eagle, which seem to be able to see through everything.
Rather than a profit-seeking businessman, West is more like a high-ranking gangster boss.
Seeing West, Victor stood up to greet him.
"Hahaha, old friend, it's been over a year since we last met. You've changed so much that I almost didn't recognize you."
Hearing this, West hid the ferocity in his eyes, smiled as well, and exchanged insincere greetings with Victor.
"You old fox, why did you think of coming to Youshi to find me instead of your cross-sea trade? Aren't you not interested in Youshi?"
"Well, it's a bit awkward to say this. After all, if I hadn't discovered it early, someone would have been secretly making money without telling his old friend."
Looking at Victor's hypocritical smile, West chuckled.
"Why? Seeing that I made a lot of money from selling those guns, you want to get a piece of the pie too?"
After West sat down, he took out two cigarettes, lit one himself, and handed it to Victor.
"This cake is too big for me to eat alone. You can certainly participate if you want, but I have one condition, which is that you cannot interfere with other people in this business."
Victor, who had just exhaled a puff of smoke, had a flash of surprise in his eyes. After all, he had known West for many years and knew that West was a man who would do anything to achieve his goals and was greedy by nature. What he said just now was totally unlike his character.
Noticing Victor's eyes, West chuckled twice.
"I know what you are surprised about. I can only tell you that my ability is not enough to monopolize the market, so I can only bring more people in."
"Sharing the risk? That's something you can do."
Victor nodded, then asked about the task Ronnie had given him.
"I can see the potential of this weapon. It may change the way war is fought in this world. So I am very curious about where you got it from."
"Some things are not for you to ask." West shook his head, looked at Ronnie who had been sitting next to him without saying anything, and changed the subject: "You haven't asked who this person is yet?"
Seeing that West was unwilling to say more about this, Victor, knowing that he couldn't force it, introduced Ronnie as they had agreed before.
"This is a giant dragon friend I met in the West Continent. His name is Ulduar. He originally wanted to come here to sell some weapons to equip his family, but when he saw so many novel weapons appearing in the tourist market, he wanted me to contact him. It just so happened that I just learned that you were selling these weapons, so I introduced him to you."
"Is that so? Since we are good friends, how about I give you a 9.9% discount as a friendship price?"
West grinned and crushed the cigarette butt hard.
"After all, I can guarantee that my weapons are the most advanced. If others come to me to sell, it's good enough if they don't charge double the price. As an old friend, am I being nice to you?"
Victor's eyes twitched, and he complained in his heart that a 9.9% discount was not a friendship price at all.
Although thinking this, Victor still looked at Ronnie calmly. After Ronnie nodded, he smiled and agreed.
"Okay, for the sake of our old friend's clone, I will sell a lot. To this end, you have to take out the good stuff that has been hidden in the bottom of the box."
"No problem. As long as the money is in place, let alone putting it in the bottom of the box, even if you want to customize it, it's no problem."
"Hahaha, happy to cooperate."
The two unscrupulous businessmen reached a cooperation amid hypocritical laughter.
Seeing that everything was done, Victor asked the question that he had been curious about since he came to Youshi.
"By the way, the war in this area has already ended. Logically speaking, the tour market should not be opened at this time."
Hearing this question, West showed a playful smile and said meaningfully, "The war is indeed over. People from the Human Kingdom Union and the Orc Plains have come to clean up the battlefield, but they also discovered that we are selling such useful weapons. In order to prevent the other party from using this weapon first, the Human Kingdom Union and the Orc Plains plan to purchase in large quantities. Therefore, the tour market has continued until now."
As he spoke, West smacked his lips and smiled with some curiosity and excitement.
"With these weapons, the scale of the battlefield between the two sides will definitely expand, and the casualties will definitely be heavy. I am really looking forward to the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere. It must be very beautiful."
When West said this, Ronnie keenly noticed a flash of dark red in his eyes, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"The aura of the God of War, but also very different. Could it be that he is involved with that old silver coin, Plague? But with his personality, even if Plague is pressuring him, he would not do such a behind-the-scenes plot. It is totally inconsistent with his style."
Ronnie talked to himself in a voice that only he could hear. At the same time, he thought of another possibility, that is, the God of War was dead, and everything he had was taken over by the plague. Only this made sense.
Then the question arises again. With the level of Plague's old silver coins, once the problem is discovered, it means that his plan has been successful, and it depends on whether he can make more money in the future.
Ronnie was really disgusted by this kind of confrontation where the enemy had already won before it even started, and there was nothing he could do.
However, if we can find the source of these weapons, we may be able to come up with a plan to deal with the plague.
While Ronnie was thinking about this, West had already finished talking to Victor. Before leaving, he also made an invitation with a smile.
"There will be an auction at Youshi the day after tomorrow. Perhaps people like me will be selling different kinds of weapons. People from the Human Kingdom Union and the Orc Plains will also participate. If you are also interested or want to purchase in bulk, it may be a good choice."
