Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

The Celestial Dao Rules may have done this to prevent the indigenous people’s gold from flooding the auction market.

It’s not just gold—even timber, food, meat, fierce beasts, slaves, other metals, and so on will probably have to follow the auction house prices.

As Lords begin to establish connections with the indigenous people, sometimes making money becomes too easy.

The Celestial Dao Rules prohibit the unrestricted reselling of goods—earning Celestial Dao Coins with tails so long you can’t see the end of them.

”Lord, I will convey your words to the Black Scale Race. But I think they’ll contact you very soon.” The Three-Eyed One-Horned Queen finished speaking, then sent another message: ”Lord, can we start trading now?”

”Alright! Have your tribe prepare the goods. Also, notify the Heaven-Reaching Tribe to trade with me.” Yi Tian agreed to return the Three-Eyed One-Horned High Priest.

Yi Tian summoned the Fire Dragon and brought all the Three-Eyed One-Horned Tribe and Heaven-Reaching Tribe captives outside the city.

Yi Tian personally went to the prison to bring out the Three-Eyed One-Horned High Priest. ”Three-Eyed One-Horned High Priest, congratulations, you’re free. But I’ll keep this little room for you; next time, I’ll make you feel truly at home.”

”Can I really go out now?” the Three-Eyed One-Horned High Priest whimpered.

He now looked like a frail, gaunt, old Three-Eyed One-Horned without his Wizard Robe.

Imprisoned for over half a month, it felt like decades had passed in a flash.

”Yes, your tribe paid some ransom for you. Your sins are cleansed.”

Yi Tian knew that after the Three-Eyed One-Horned Tribe left this time, they probably wouldn’t ever attack his territory again.

A mighty fortress at a height of 188, something they could only look up to—it turned their Golden Warriors into nothing but cannon fodder.

The Three-Eyed One-Horned High Priest silently followed Yi Tian to the city gates.

The towering walls and the heavy gates made the High Priest feel as small as dust.

It was only then that the Three-Eyed One-Horned High Priest realized that, without his Wizard Robe, he was just an ordinary living creature.

Including two Golden Warriors from the Three-Eyed One-Horned Tribe, all the captured Three-Eyed One-Horned Warriors were assembled.

The Three-Eyed One-Horned Queen was even faster in preparation.

”You Three-Eyed One-Horned Race were the first enemies to enter my territory. Every blade of grass and every tree here has been watered with your sweat; every brick and tile in the city has your contribution. Much of this land came into being because of you. The bows and arrows I took from your hands helped me kill countless invaders. I truly thank you for your ’help.’ How I wish you would come and visit my territory more often in the future.”

”Alright! Go home, all of you!”

The grand city walls made the Demon Lord stand out even more, exuding an imposing air.

The Three-Eyed One-Horned Warriors didn’t know if they should cry or laugh.

But soon, a feeling of joy at returning home washed over them.

Yi Tian used the Celestial Dao Stone to scan all the Three-Eyed One-Horned captives and initiated a trade with the Queen: ”[Three-Eyed One-Horned High Priest][Three-Eyed One-Horned Grand Elder][Three-Eyed One-Horned Second Elder]... trading for [Gold*3,000,000][D-level Beast Core*100,000].”

Before leaving, the High Priest glanced at the Heaven-Reaching High Priest.

The Heaven-Reaching High Priest could only shake his head helplessly.

After the trade concluded, a mountain of gold appeared outside the city.

And a heap of D-level Beast Cores as well.

Yi Tian’s Boutique Warehouse already had plenty of low-level Beast Cores, so he didn’t need so many more. He put these cores up at the auction house immediately.

4,000 Celestial Dao Coins each.

After the Three-Eyed One-Horned Tribe, King Niu Batian from the Heaven-Reaching Tribe contacted Yi Tian.

Yi Tian understood that in the Celestial Dao World, a True King is someone like the Flower Thorn King.

If you don’t have SS-level strength, you’re all just false kings.

In the Celestial Dao World, the smallest tribe is the Silver Tribe. Even the Silver Tribe has those who call themselves king.

But the Silver Tribe can only survive in the cracks, relying on the protection of the Golden Tribe.

At this point, King Niu Batian dared not be arrogant. Their tribe’s situation wasn’t much better than the Three-Eyed One-Horned Tribe’s.

The rest would have to wait until the Heaven-Reaching High Priest returned to discuss.

Actually, the Heaven-Reaching High Priest was quite impressive. The Earth-Fire Giant he summoned had quasi-A-level strength.

But, unfortunately, he’d run into a bunch of freaks with innate talents.

”[Heaven-Reaching High Priest][Heaven-Reaching Second Elder][Heaven-Reaching Third Elder]... trading for [Gold*3,000,000][D-level Beast Core*300,000].”

This time, after trading with Yi Tian, King Niu Batian didn’t throw out any threats—he just left in silence.

The 300,000 Beast Cores from this trade were also put up for auction.

Such a huge number of cores would take a while to sell out.

For a total of six million units of gold, Yi Tian had Gu Qianqiu lead the Dragon Sparrow Guard to move them into the treasury.

Total gold in treasury: 24 million.

Boutique Warehouse: 4,280,000.

While waiting for the Demon Wolf Abyss invasion, Yi Tian continued to focus on production work.

With the help of the Little Kiddo, batch after batch of Black Cloud Spears were produced, enchanted with Orange Star Beads, and Dragon Sparrow Guard began switching equipment.

Making Black Cloud Spears was faster than making bows and arrows. By 2 p.m., three hundred Black Cloud Spears had been manufactured.

Counting the seven hundred made yesterday, the total cost in Celestial Dao Coins was 450 million.

The four hundred thousand D-level Beast Cores put on the market were all sold within four hours, earning him 1.6 billion Celestial Dao Coins. These things aren’t that hot—many Lords ignored the ”Wealthiest in the World” notice at that price, so they sold pretty slowly.

Celestial Dao Coin balance: 1.611 billion.

This money can be used to make Combat Armor.

The Abyss attack can’t be referenced in zone chat—you can only wait and see.

”Daddy, a huge group of monsters is coming from the north.”

Just a few minutes after finishing the Black Cloud Spears, the Second Child came running over to notify Yi Tian.

”All captives are to be sent back to the Celestial Prison. The territory enters a state of combat readiness!”

Yi Tian relayed orders to Gu Qianqiu.

The only Platinum Battleship set sail. After training these days, the Warship had gained a bit of combat power.

Now, there were two choices ahead: strike along the river, or defend by the city walls.
