Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

The goblin leader stopped and did not rush forward.

He first looked around, then spoke slowly in the nearest human merchant in broken Common:

"The cargo, on the ship, included a pocket watch, a lighter, glasses, a compass, and seeds and medicine."

The merchant listened for a while, then shifted his gaze from the leader's face to the cargo boxes piled on the ship, before turning back to look at his companions.

Several people moved forward a few steps, and one of them, an older man in an old gray robe, spoke first.

Since the currencies of the two worlds are different, and the people of the two worlds do not recognize the currencies of other countries, they decided to stick to the most primitive method of barter.

The two sides stood by the pier for a while and confirmed the basic exchange method.

The pocket watch that was handed out was passed back and forth between the goblin and the human merchants from the source world several times before it was finally put into the hands of one of them.

On the edge of an open space not far from the port, an elven scholar dressed in a light green robe also spotted the gray-green ship.

He didn't go forward immediately, but stood at a distance, his gaze fixed on the goblins who were disembarking, watching their careful movements as they carried the cargo boxes.

His gaze followed that direction, and after a moment, he took a step in that direction as well.

Elves and goblins communicate more fluently than humans, and he quickly struck up a conversation with a goblin scholar, thus beginning a lively discussion.

The port in the Origin Realm is not large, but it is bustling with people.

News of the goblin's ship docking spread, and more and more residents of the Source Realm began to converge on the port.

The goblin merchants soon discovered that the humans of the Source Realm had a strong interest in the industrial products of the goblin world, especially those exquisitely crafted small items.

A goblin craftsman, carrying a model of a small steam engine, started it up in an open space in the harbor.

The small model made a sputtering sound, emitted a wisp of white smoke, and then began to drive a gear to turn.

The humans from the Origin Realm who were watching crowded around, craning their necks to look. Some reached out to touch it, only to be burned hard and immediately pulled their hands back.

As the local engineers started the engine for testing at the port, the humans, elves, and dwarves from the Source Realm gathered at a distance to watch, listening to the unfamiliar mechanical sounds coming from the direction of the port.

The elven translator in the caravan explained to the dwarven master craftsman in Dwarven that the machine could convert heat into rotational power, which could be used to pull carts, winch ropes, and pump water.

After listening, the dwarven master craftsman remained silent for a moment, then took out all his possessions and exchanged them for the engine model.

This thing is extremely attractive to dwarves, no less so than a divine artifact!

That was the first technological transaction between two worlds that went beyond the scope of "small commodities".

As goblin merchants traveled throughout the Source Realm, they began to learn the languages ​​of the various races of the Source Realm.

Meanwhile, the various races of the Origin Realm began to learn the goblin language.

The elves showed great enthusiasm for the industrial products of the goblin world, especially the exquisite decorations and food.

The gorgeous costumes specially designed for the body types of humans, orcs, dwarves, and elves also deeply attracted the elves' attention.

An elven scholar traded a basket of rare herbs for a box of goblin colored glass beads, saying he would use them to study the refraction of light.

The goblin merchant couldn't understand what he was saying, but he still happily accepted the basket of herbs.

These colored glass beads are just children's toys in the goblin world; being able to exchange them for precious herbs is a huge win.

Using industrial products to plunder raw materials is simply the greatest manipulation ever!
