Chapter 813 You Ask Me if I Support...
Prince Groma's reputation among the people is average.
The impression he left on the lower class civilians was that of being aloof, domineering, and full of desire to conquer.
To be honest, this should be quite in line with the orcs' usual aesthetics and hobbies, and should be quite popular.
But in fact, his approval rating is not high.
Because so far, every one of his instructions has been full of strong personal colors, and has not given the people of the Renne Empire any hope of improving the country.
Purandar is currently at peace, and various countries are recuperating and trying to recover from the damage of the Chaos invasion. Fighting for hegemony is not what they need.
What people need now is delicious food, a peaceful living environment, and a bright future to look forward to.
And Prince Groma cannot bring these.
He advocates the aesthetics of violence and seems to be particularly looking forward to chaos.
In Tang En's view, the Prince Groma in the boss's words was more like the traditional orcs in his impression, while the orcs walking on the street were more like humans wearing strange bodies - except for the somewhat different appearance. The difference is that there is no difference in thinking from ordinary human civilians.
Although they like to watch gladiatorial games, they themselves like a peaceful life.
Contradictory, but reasonable.
The romantic plot of dying in battle and being shrouded in horse leather?
It may sound romantic, but if a war actually breaks out, who would be willing to abandon his wife, children, and family to die on the battlefield?
No matter what race you are in, no matter what country you are in, the most unlucky people after a war breaks out are the civilians at the bottom.
So it's no wonder why the boss is so unfavorable to Prince Groma.
Unfortunately……
"The second prince Ursa had no intention of fighting for power in the early years. He left Bulcaisuo early and traveled around the world with the 'Axe King' Mengkarn, living a free and easy life."
"The eldest princess Melosh got married early and now she is focused on staying at home to raise her husband and children, so there is no need to mention it..."
The boss sighed: "In the long run, the only one who will inherit the empire from now on is Prince Groma."
The thoughtful Tang En asked again: "In your opinion, does Prince Groma have any abnormal behavior?"
"Abnormal?"
The boss shook his head: "After all, he is a prince, what can we say? We usually can't see it... But if we really want to talk about it, His Majesty the Bloody Eyes said a few years ago that he would choose a concubine for him, but in the end nothing happened. .”
Choosing a concubine?
Tang En frowned: "What's so strange about that?"
"You do not know?"
The boss chuckled, glanced at Ilia who was focusing on the jewelry, and then lowered his voice and said to Tang En: "Prince Groma used to like to collect beautiful women from various sub-tribes of the Renne Empire. As a result, from five Starting a year ago, I don’t know whether it was because he suddenly changed his gender or because he was reprimanded by His Majesty the Blood Eyes, and he suddenly stopped."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"This is a good thing, but it's also very abnormal."
The boss spread his hands and said: "A guy who is used to eating meat, if you ask him to suddenly become a vegetarian, will he hold back?"
Tang En nodded thoughtfully, this is indeed the truth.
It seems that Groma was eroded by Chaos five years ago?
Now it’s troublesome…
Tang En frowned slightly. He had promised Angus that if there was a chance, he would purify Chaos and help Groma return to normal.
Tang En planned to ask for more detailed information, but the boss suddenly closed the stall.
"Let's go, let's go. It's going to rain soon. It's really rare."
"rain?"
Only then did Tang En notice the large clouds coming from the east.
"My hair was all wet and stuck together, and my gut told me it was going to be a heavy rain."
The boss put away his things and said with a smile: "It seems that I have been living more comfortably these past two days. I'll see my customers again and come back to take care of my business."
"Let's go."
Tang En pulled Ilia and started to walk back. The orcs on the street seemed to be aware of the dark clouds in the distance. Now they began to pack their things and go home in a hurry. It was obviously just afternoon, but the sky was getting dark very quickly. , the temperature quickly dropped to a more comfortable 20 degrees, and the wind blowing from the street brought a hint of moisture, blowing coolly on the face.
"Brother, let's go quickly!"
Ilia ran in front and dragged Tang En, but Tang En walked slowly.
As a result, when the two of them walked halfway, heavy rain poured down.
Of course, the two of them will not be affected by the rain. The arcane shield can block the rain very well, allowing them to walk in the rain curtain safely.
When he returned home, Angus also came back. What was rare was that Master Sharptooth also came over as a guest. The two of them sat in the pavilion, eating appetizers and drinking the wine that Tang En brought out. The surging power blocked the rain. Up close, he looks very dashing.
"Sir Tang En, where have you been? Come here and have a drink!"
Sharptooth immediately extended an invitation after seeing Tang En.
After Tang En sent Ilia back, he sat down next to them with a smile, took out the wine glass and poured himself a glass of fruit wine.
Sharptooth looked at Tang En with disdain: "A real man should drink this wine to be strong!"
Angus said silently: "He made the Tang Dynasty Hero Wine."
"..."
Sharp Teeth was stunned, and he toasted Tang En with a dry smile.
Anyone who can make this kind of wine must be a good wine person, or at least know more about wine than him...
Tang En smiled and nodded: "Please help yourself."
"Then you're welcome. The wine is good wine and the food is good food. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to enjoy this kind of treatment."
Sharp Tooth took a sip of the wine happily, savoring the sweet and refreshing feeling: "Especially in this weather, it really has a unique flavor."
Angus nodded: "This is really a rare heavy rain for the Renne Empire."
The Renne Empire, which has a fairly dry climate, has been blocked by the Marowi Mountains all year round. The water vapor from the abyssal sea in the east is blocked in the Solant Kingdom, bringing a white mist plain with rich water and grass to the Solant Kingdom. But it suffered from the Ren Empire on the west side of the Marowi Mountains.
Sharptooth nodded: "It would also rain at this time in previous years, but not on such a large scale. After all, there is not much water vapor that can survive the Marowi Mountains."
"Perhaps you should thank Mr. Tang En."
Angus said calmly: "Although the Golgallon crater was destroyed, Mr. Tang En gave you a very large inland lake. It is precisely because of this inland lake that there is such abundant water vapor this time, making this place It’s raining so hard.”
A rain may not be a big deal to other countries, but to the Renne Empire, it is very important. It makes the soil here moist and can grow some Gobi crops.
What's more, in some extremely dry places, this rain may even become a source of life-saving water for them.
"Here's to you."
Sharptooth actually raised his glass and toasted Tang En.
"You're welcome."
Tang En raised his glass and signaled.
"Isn't it you who released the news that came out on Bulcasso Street in the past two days?"
Sharp Tooth asked abruptly. Tang En was startled when he heard the words and smiled without saying a word.
"Although I don't know what you want to do, I hope you won't harm Bulkesso."
Sharp Teeth grinned, stared into Tang En's eyes and said, "Otherwise, even if I am not happy, I will have to stand up for my compatriots."
"I don't think we can be enemies."
Tang En threw this sentence lightly, and then changed the subject: "I wonder what Mr. Sharptooth thinks about developing trade relations between the Ren Empire and the Illus Empire?"
"Trading relations? That would be great, of course."
Sharp Tooth said carelessly: "The Ren Empire has many great specialties, but due to transportation capacity and limited channels, it is difficult for those specialties to go abroad in large quantities. Similarly, we also have strong objections to many commodities from your human country. Demands, such as your food, textiles, daily necessities, etc..."
"I thought you meant weapons and armor."
Sharp Teeth glanced sideways at Tang En: "I'm not stupid, are you willing to sell really good things?"
"of course not."
"So just don't mention it."
Sharptooth continued: "If the trade route can be opened, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to both parties, but it is a pity..."
"pity?"
"This is unrealistic."
"Why?"
"The Kingdom of Grace and the Kingdom of Solant will not allow the Illrus Empire to skip them to establish trade relations with the Ren Empire."
Sharptooth said coldly: "Now the Ren Empire imports a large amount of food and textiles from those two countries every year, but in order to curb our development, they not only limit the export quantity, but also greatly raise the export price, making us I am constantly starving and not having enough to eat.”
"If we sell you a large amount of food, will those two countries regard us as enemies?"
"Exactly."
After a pause, Sharptooth shook his head and continued: "What's more, no matter what route it takes, if the Ilrus Empire wants to establish a trade route with the Ren Empire, it cannot bypass the Kingdom of Grace and the Kingdom of Solant, so Discussing this is also nonsense.”
Tang En and Angus looked at each other and smiled. Tang En said: "Whether it can come true is another matter. We only want to talk about whether you support the establishment of bilateral trade relations."
"You ask me whether I support it, and I say I support it. I will tell you this clearly."
After Sharptooth finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Tang En and Angus with some confusion: "You are so concerned about trade issues, is it possible... that you have a way to bypass the blockade of those two countries?"
After saying that, he became excited first. If Tang En and the others could really bypass those two countries, conduct bulk trade with the Renne Empire, and transport a large amount of food, then the Renne Empire would be able to recover from its weakness as soon as possible. , re-established a stable and powerful orc empire.
but……
As the king of the Illrus Empire, is he really willing to help and see a powerful orc empire?
"Well, this is a trade secret."
Tang En smiled brightly: "In short, if there is need at that time, please ask Mr. Sharptooth to help."
