Dane exhaled a puff of smoke rings, the expression on his face was pleasant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 "Bickley, the people who enjoy it the most are the Shire, that's true. ”

Now that the Charr Chamber of Commerce and Dane's forces are in a very close honeymoon period, Dane is also very good to Bikley. This time Bickley came late at night, and Dane not only did not refuse his visit, but showed an easy-going side.

But Bickley is a smart man, he is smart, he has always been able to put himself in the right position, and he will not do anything uncomfortable.

Dane made an intimate gesture, he didn't put on a businesslike appearance, he also seemed quite casual, but not so casual that he lost his temper. The words and attitudes are very intimate, but they don't make people feel annoying.

That's what he's capable of.

"Haha!" Bickley looked rather happy. He said, "The best food grows from the land of the Shire; The most playful things are made from the hands of the Shire; Dane, your words are the greatest compliment to us Shire. ”

"Tut-tut...... Dane flew another mouthful of leaves and said, "If I have a chance in the future, I really want to go to the Shire." ”

"It's an honor." Bickley bowed slightly and continued, "But, Dane, I'm visiting you late at night today, and I'm still on business. ”

"Hmm." Dane sat up straight and placed his pipe on the table beside him, waiting for Bickley to speak, but he already knew in his heart why Bickley had come from.

Bickley straightened his posture and said, "The most important thing that our Charr Chamber of Commerce is thinking about now is the matter we talked about before about establishing an enchantment workshop and an alchemy workshop composed entirely of Charr people in your territory, and now, more than two hundred people selected according to your requirements have all arrived at the Ghost Knife Harbor, I want to know, when will the two workshops that we have said will be established?" ”

"In such a hurry?"

Bickley smiled and said, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, what am I in a hurry?" It's just that this has come from more than a month of Shire's ocean-traveling, but they are all carefully selected talents, which shows how much attention is paid to our cooperation this time. Didn't we have a plan in place a long time ago? I thought, instead of delaying any longer, it would have been better to do it sooner, you say, right? ”

He observed Dane's face, saw that Dane did not speak, and continued: "Of course, Dane, you also need some preparation time here, and I understand this. However, this matter really cannot be postponed indefinitely. We could have waited, but not too long. ”

"Okay." Dane nodded, stood up, and said, "You let your people come to the White Wolf Castle, it will take a week or two in between, during which I will get people ready as soon as possible, and then start our plan immediately." ”

These words made the smile on Bigley's face even brighter: "Okay! I knew you were a cheerful person, Dane! ”

Dane nodded, and continued, "However, I will also say the ugly things first. I have given you my requirements, if one of the people you come does not meet my requirements, then go one, I will not spare a little mercy. ”

"Don't worry about this!" Bickley patted his chest and said, "These are all talents carefully selected according to high standards, and if there is one who is not up to standard, you can just come to me for trouble!" ”

"Well, that's good. When all your people are here, come to White Wolf Castle to find me. ”

"Good!"

……

Helping the Charr to set up two magic workshops was a promise made by Dane in order to win the Charr Chamber of Commerce to his side.

This is what the Shire dream of.

The land of the Shire is fertile and fertile, but they lack ore resources and their magical skills are poor.

The inheritance of magical skills is almost the most desired thing for the Charr.

They have the money, they have the property, but they lack the means to turn it into power.

Among the main races of the Charr Continent, the best and strongest individual physical fitness is actually the notoriously slender and slender elf race! As for races like gnomes and halflings, they are not suitable options for fighting.

How did a group of emaciated people keep the rich land?

They relied on dwarf technology.

The gnomes are a very intelligent race, and they are some of the finest and most ingenious craftsmen in the world. Unlike the dwarves, who are skilled in building and smelting, they are even more remarkable for their amazing talent for some bizarre mechanical products.

Golems, steam cars, manned mechs......

These things are all extremely special products of the gnomes, and on the mainland, apart from them, there is no second force that can manufacture and own them on a large scale.

Whether it is a golem or a manned mecha, it can allow diminutive halflings and gnomes to overcome the disadvantage of size and become warriors who are not weaker than any race on the battlefield.

But the problem is that no matter what kind of machinery is manufactured, all kinds of metal and non-metal minerals are indispensable. However, the Shire continent has everything, and there is no such thing.

So what to do? Import it.

Minerals are almost the lifeblood of the Shire. The other lifeblood is magic.

The elves in the Shire are not high elves like the Nancy royal court, nor are they the forest elves of the Northern Alliance. These two elven subspecies both have a good magical heritage.

The elves of the Shire are a tribal group of steppe elves. They have a stronger body than their elven counterparts, are taller in stature, are generally more skilled in bows and arrows, and are more courageous and warlike in general.

However, there are gains and losses, and the talent of the steppe elves in magic is no better than that of a halfling, and it is worse than that of a dwarf.

It's embarrassing.

The ore needed for machinery needs to be imported from outside. Many high-end machines, on some parts, need to be enchanted, become stronger or sharper, or carry all kinds of strange magic effects, in order to be effective.

However, whether it is the enchantment of raw materials or mechanical parts, although the Charr can solve a small part of it by themselves, the larger part still depends on commercial trade in exchange.

And both of these are in Dane's hands.

This is also the reason why the Charles United Chamber of Commerce attaches so much importance to the cooperation with Dane. Other small forces that want to cooperate with the Charr do not have such unique conditions as Dane; Other great powers with minerals and enchantment technology, as well as greedy malice towards the Charr, have faintly curbed the Charr from developing military power in this way - if you know, in the past tens or hundreds of years, almost every once in a while, a certain continental power will extend its claws to the Charr.
