Chapter Fifty-Three: Hi Hogg For Zelandia!
The two little men, who might not have reached his thigh-high height, were also startled by Levi's sudden shout, and the tall one, carrying such a heavy ore, was able to pull out the bone blade on his waist for the first time, and retreated, as if he wanted to hide in the shadows of the mine layer depending on the situation.
The little one beside him shrank behind the tall man like a frightened deer, and when she saw a piece of ore that had slipped down from the violent movement hit her head, she raised her slender hands as if she had foreseen the large piece of ore that was enough to make her head bloom, but looking at her trembling hands, she knew that she might not be good at strength.
But the moment he saw Levi, the movements of the two Drow were obviously stiff, and the tall man immediately threw the bone blade made of unknown biological material into the ground, and straightened his body, and interestingly, he did not use the etiquette of Drow to meet the superior, but learned from the Zeeland Security Brigade to raise his hand and perform a military salute, and shouted in a crisp voice:
"Hogg Crown! Hogg Mining Seventh Squad No. 0013 Miner Tristan salutes you!"
His left hand reached behind him and took out the little sister Zhuoer who was hiding behind him, and saw that she was also shouting in a childish voice under the instructions of her brother: "Huo... Hogg Mining's Seventh Squad No. 0014 Miner Tristine salutes you!"
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the two little ones who were a little nervous and trembling a little for fear that he would anger them with their disrespectful reaction earlier, Levi couldn't help but be amused, motioned for the dwarf to pull down the hand brake of the minecart, and hooked his paw towards them:
"Don't be afraid, come here, I won't eat you again. ”
Tristan and his sister looked at each other, but finally did not dare to resist Levi's order, and the elder brother took his sister's little hand and crept over under Levi's playful gaze.
It wasn't until he walked in that Levi intuitively felt that the weight of the frame of ore behind Tristan was probably more than six hundred pounds, which was really hard to imagine that there was so much strength hidden under such a weak appearance.
"Good fellow, a good brother who is responsible, he is not often seen in your Zhuoer. Levi patted him on the shoulder, encouraged him, and asked again, "Will you come back to Zeellandia with me?"
Tristan hesitated, but finally mustered up the courage to refuse: "It's only halfway through today, I want to earn more." ”
Levi nodded, and didn't ask him why he still worked so the sand sculpture question that he could already make them both live well with his strength, and he was no longer reluctant, "Then do a good job, part of the tax you pay is prepared to be used for construction planning, and it is expected that it will not be long before the first mining school in Zelandia will break ground, and you can all come to school for free." ”
Hearing the word 'school', the eyes of the Zall brothers and sisters, who were originally a little dim, instantly bloomed with hope.
Even Tiger on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at Levi in disbelief, his breathing was a little heavier.
"Will I be able to learn the arcane arts, then?" asked Tristan softly as he glared at those emerald pupils, and the gesture of his head raising gave Levi his first close-up view.
'It's beautiful... I'm afraid it's even more delicate than some of the females. ’
Levi sighed in his heart, and under the addition of the dragon family's aesthetics, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but after thinking that the other party was actually a male Zhuoer, he couldn't help but sigh that if the male was beautiful, there would be nothing wrong with the female.
He suppressed the exclamation in his heart and rubbed Tristan's hooded head, "Of course, we will open many courses in the future, including lingua franca, various elven languages, dragon languages, devil contracts, eight spell factions, and advanced arcane science, and many more, as long as you want to learn, I will slowly expand our school's teaching team and book collection." ”
"That's... Can I learn how these steaming big iron shells are made?" asked Cui Si Ting, who was also on the side, eagerly asked.
"It seems that you are more interested in mechanical dynamics, or science, and this is a good start, we have a good teacher in Zeellandia, his name is Iggy, and he may like you if we meet him in the future. Levi smiled at her.
"Eun, I'll definitely study hard. Tristin's head nodded vigorously.
"Well, then work hard first, look forward to it, look forward to the future of Zelandia. ”
Levi bewitched the two dazed children who were shocked by happiness, and caused the gray dwarf to restart the steam locomotive.
Looking at the little little man who was still waving at him as his vision gradually narrowed away, Li Wei smiled in his heart, "I hope you can still say the same thing when you look back and face as many as more than twenty legal languages and other disciplines as complex as Hai'er." ’
"Boss, what you just said... Is it true?" Tiger asked, his voice a little shaky.
"Am I still lying to you? Levi couldn't help but laugh.
After a moment's thought, he continued, "If I'm not bad, there should be fewer and fewer fugitive slaves pouring into our Zelandia in the past two years. ”
Sure enough, even in the past few years, he has not relaxed his grip on Zelandiaer. Tiger replied, "Yes, the slaves in Gerthhorne are generally maintained at a certain order of magnitude, and with the initial attraction of a large number of fugitive slaves by the Didi miner policy, the drows of Gerthhorne City have unprecedentedly strengthened their care for the remaining slaves. ”
"Hehe, it's obvious and obvious, if they don't move, I'm afraid they will become slaveless in a few years, maybe the daily operation of the city of Gerthorne will be paralyzed, of course, it is more likely that they will kill us before this happens. ”
Levi smiled and analyzed: "Without more influx of foreign population, the development of our Zeelandia will be almost at a bottleneck to a certain extent, and then, the population can only grow by natural reproduction, and in the past five years, under the constraint of losing food, I think more miner families will be willing to have more children, five years, and it is time to go to school." ”
"The boss is merciful!" Tiger quickly handed over a dragon fart, rejoicing from the bottom of his heart.
Knowledge has always been controlled by the superiors, and the creatures at the bottom have too few channels to obtain knowledge.
Just as Tiger was hesitating a little about whether to bring up the troublesome problem that had recently been highlighted, he heard Levi continue: "I'm afraid you're probably struggling with the problem of not having enough drow elves right now. ”
"Hahaha, boss wise, as the whole of Zelandia began to be rich in material, those who only knew how to think on the lower half of the body began to make trouble. Because of the original custom street, except for a few Drow technicians who are still willing to fight for the stability of Zelandia, the vast majority of Drow have chosen to form families with some excellent miners, and not all Drow's husbands are willing to be brothers-in-law with other miners like the orc DeRoru, because in the past two years, there have been many forced cases like this, and the key is that there is no good way, we can't go to Gerthorne City to rob the elves. Tiger said with a bit of a headache.
"That's naturally impossible, we don't have the force to start a full-scale war with Gerthorne City now, but we already have the qualifications to at least be able to speak on the same table, I am ready to reopen a passage between Zelandia and the upper region, and no longer be held hostage by Gerthorn City, at that time, we can accommodate the population of some surrounding gathering places, and the problem of imbalance between men and women can be alleviated to the greatest extent, otherwise, I'm afraid that the Drow have not come to us yet, and we will be in chaos first." ”
Levi condensed and threw out a decision that made Tiger's heart tremble again, "You... Aren't you afraid that Drow will really call?"
"Now at this juncture, do they dare? It's time to show our arms in front of this group of Zhuo Bichi who only know how to play with some caution all day long. ”
As Levi said this, the steam locomotive had already driven out of the West Mining Area, and the sky in front of him was empty and bright, but it had already returned to Zeelandia.
In front of the rather magnificent Hogg Mining Building, which had been built, the hundred-person gnoll honor guard left by Hotz lined up on both sides of the track, raised their hands in unison and saluted, and shouted without squinting:
"Hogg Crown! Hogg Mining's First Inspection Team is under your review!"
And behind the gnolls, it was the bald Fischer and Iggy who came with him in an array of 100 people.
I saw that these mages, who had become strong because of their perennial mining careers, were all holding their staffs in one hand and holding the roaring chainsaw sword in the other, shouting in unison:
"Hogg Crown! Hogg Mining First Battle Law Group is under your review!"
And in the end, a full three thousand gray dwarf legions armed with metal to the teeth lined up in a larger and neat phalanx, taking a small but powerful step, at the end of the line, raising their hands and eyebrows, fingers together, and saluting Li Weixing: "Salute to His Majesty Hogg!"
But it was the old dwarf Tiger on the side who slipped off the steam locomotive at some point, came to the front of the legion, raised the war hammer and shouted feverishly:
"Your Majesty Hogg! Hogg Mining No. 1 Security Regiment! Accept your review! Your will is our will! Where the sword goes, it is our enemy!"
"Roar! for Hogg's crown!!"
"Roar! Zeellandia !!"
