The next day, Leon, the officer of the guard, was in the hall of the lord early, and when the lord went down the stairs, sometimes he would report the more important matters of the day, "Lord Lord." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Just now, the sentry found out that there is a team approaching the Dragon Court Woodland! ”

Hearing the news from the guard, Zoro immediately thought of the trolls. But what we were waiting for was a 'friendly' team.

"It's Master Isol. He didn't disappoint me. ”

Zoro could see the physical features of the team, and he could see at a glance that the Grey Dwarven Emissary had returned to the Dragon Court with Isol, as well as the Grey Dwarven Emissary who had burned the pit.

Zoro looked around naturally, "Cicely, we need to prepare a sumptuous luncheon. ”

The serenade, which played a lighter and lively tune, was used by the nobles to entertain the nobles during the banquet of the distinguished guests.

And a good performer, at such a banquet, is usually rewarded handsomely with a gold coin.

This has become a tradition in the Longting Woodland.

The table was quickly filled with fresh vegetables and aromatic game.

"Welcome to the Dragon Court Woodland!"

As Sauron looked at it, it was the first time he had seen a gray dwarf.

The gray dwarf, who sat across from the long table, picked up his glass first.

After nodding to Isol beside him, he turned to Sauron and said, "Each of the Grey Dwarves who burn the pits is a great son of Turin, so we are willing to answer Master Isol's call to take on the responsibility of revitalizing the dwarves. In the name of the Grey Dwarf Tribe Prince, we are willing to enter into a trade agreement and a military alliance with the Dragoncourt Woodlands. The dwarves do their best to help the realm rise. But I want to state that the Grey Dwarves never recognize Black Mountain or other humans as our friends. ……”

The grey dwarf prince drank the wine from his glass, the bottom of which was touched on the table.

His retinue had only just picked up the glasses, and it was not difficult to see that the grey dwarves had a strict internal hierarchy.

The gray dwarven prince has a dwarven beard, except that his hair is all gray. He wore long hair and a headband that symbolized his royal status.

…………

Before returning to the Dragon Court Woodlands, Master Isol had already drawn up a detailed alliance contract.

All Zoro had to do was take a rough look, then take out his lord's seal and sign the contract.

The contents of the contract shall be officially declared valid from the moment it is signed by both parties.

[The Grey Dwarves who burned the pit will provide the Dragoncourt Woodland with the construction of a blacksmith shop and dispatch 300 blacksmiths.] 】

[The Burning Pit Gray Dwarf will provide 1 million catties of food for the Longting Woodland. Longting Timber needs to repay this cost over a period of ten years. 】

[The Burning Pit Grey Dwarf will provide the building of the city wall for the Dragon Court Woodland.] The arrears of Longting Forest Land are to be repaid within 10 years. 】

[The Burn Pit Grey Dwarf will provide alchemy and basic alchemy commodities to the Dragon Court Woodlands. The gold coins owed are to be repaid within ten years. 】

In addition to the above sections.

At the end of the contract, it was also stated that if the Longting Woodland needed other materials, it could be purchased from the four underground cities that burned the pit through fair trade.

If the Dragoncourt Woodland is threatened with war and burns down the mines, a 3,000-strong Grey Dwarf Legion will be dispatched to support it.

At the same time, it also stipulates the obligation of the Longting Woodland, and if the burning pit is threatened by war, the Longting Woodland must also send a legion of at least 3,000 men to participate in the battle.

The spirit of the contract between the burning pit and the Longting forest land is based on the above treaties.

Destroying any of them will cause the burning pit to turn against the Dragon Court Woodland.

"Lord Sauron, my father supports this covenant. It's because there was an agreement between my ancestors and the Kingdom of Turin. But in my opinion of Layton, I have no reason to support a covenant that the gray dwarves have no interest in. The former glory of the dwarven kingdom still needs to be revived by the dwarves themselves. ”

Pride is a product of ignorance.

But Sauron's evaluation of Layton is: Only those who are sure of their own strength and unshakable can be proud at will.

He can humbly accept the pride of the other person.

Because the lord's momentary bow is not worth mentioning at all compared to the future of the rise of the territory.

Therefore, Zoro only nodded slightly, "Your Royal Highness, our covenant, time will tell." ”

Looking at the depressed and impoverished Dragon Court Woodland, Leighton seemed very dissatisfied with signing such a covenant, "Master Isol has mentioned your talents and potential to me more than once. Now, I'm still a little disappointed. Behold, thou art only a teenager, and yet thou art half a head of gray hair. Whatever the reason, overdrawing your life is stupid. ”

Given the importance of the Covenant, Zoro naturally did not go against the opposing side.

It's just that.

Then, without waiting for him to respond, Master Isol reminded Leighton in a loud voice, "Your Excellency, your father has promised Russia everything. ”

The Grey Dwarf Prince, nodding apologetically to Isol.

He only said a word, then got up and walked out of the lord's hall. "I'm here to fulfill the covenant, Lord of the Dragon Court, please come with me."

Master Isol looked at Sauron with apologetic eyes. Sauron said it didn't matter.

Sauron didn't want to say anything about the arrogance of the gray dwarves. Because if you compete with someone who exceeds you too much, the result will not only make the other party more arrogant, but also end up in a very bad end.

"Humility makes people progress, pride makes people backward. We should always remember this truth, Master Isol. ”

Zoro's indifferent tone and attitude after getting up not only made Isol feel admiration.

………………

The surroundings of the lord's mansion were empty.

Surrounded by thirteen dwarven warriors, Prince Layton stood with his hands in his hands.

Regardless of whether the other party intentionally or unintentionally, in Zoro's understanding, since someone wants to perform, then someone must come to cheer for it.

"Son of Turin - Array!"

With Sauron's phrase "My sword shines with silver brilliance." "It's the same thing. The prince of the gray dwarf tribe, he turned out to be a lord professional. As he took the one-handed broadsword handed by the dwarven warrior, he stabbed it into the marble floor beneath his feet with one hand.

This means that the Grey Dwarf, who owns four cities, also owns an Epic Totem Pole. And the gray dwarf erased the elven mark on the totem pole in his own way.

Soon, Layton's right hand was raised in the form of a rest, with a dazzling ball of light on it.

A nine-pointed star rose into the air from the top of the ball of light like a flat magic array, and in an instant, a silvery light was sprinkled.

Seeing such a scene, Zoro was inexplicably moved, "It's a nine-pointed star, then it means that the other party is a nine-star lord, and he can summon 900 dwarves from the territory." ”

But it's not a fight, and Layton doesn't need to summon that much. With a spit of light, 600 dwarves carrying carry-on packages and various tools appeared behind Leighton.

Such a scene makes many people's eyes straighten.

"600 dwarves, 300 blacksmiths who will stay, and another 300 blacksmiths and workers who help you build the walls. I've got my business done and it's time to leave. As for the supplies, you will need to come and burn the pit yourself to get them. Lord of the Dragon Court, if one day you can surprise me. I'll officially identify with you as an ally......"

After saying this, Layton lifted one hand and took out the return scroll from his bosom with the other.

A silver circle of light began to appear above the heads of Layton and the other thirteen gray dwarven warriors. Soon, fourteen people were gone.

The scroll that can carry many people back to the city is at least five hundred people, and is worth at least a thousand gold coins.

With a wave of his hand, fourteen people spent a thousand gold coins. It has to be said that the gray dwarves are willful rich people.

"Lord Layton, he is a proud gray dwarf, but at the same time he is also a man of integrity, justice, and charisma."

Sauron could hear the words of Master Isol. As for himself, he doesn't mind because of the other party's excessive pride.

If you don't even have this bit of open-mindedness, then it's too naïve.

"I'm sure one day, the grey dwarf prince will change his mind—"

Sauron said softly. Turning back to look at Isol.

"Master Isol, you have not only helped me, but also the Dragon Court Woodland. As long as you don't object, I want you to be my career mentor and appoint you as a training officer for the Purple Flower Legion. ”

With one hand on his chest and a slight bow, Zoro's tone and eyes were full of sincerity.

For the dwarven master Isol, getting this recognition may be exactly what he wants. "I am willing to accept this appointment. From now on, you don't have to call me Master, Lord Lord. ”

…………

According to the contract, the blacksmith shop was built, and the Longting Woodland owed 5,000 gold coins to the burning pit. As for the 300 Dwarven Forges, each of them will receive 5 gold coins per month from the Treasurer.

That sounds like a lot of money, but Sauron thinks it's worth it. In terms of the casting process known to man, there is no one who can compare to the gray dwarf.

Provide 1 million catties of food paid assistance for Longting woodland. It can make Zoro not have to worry about food for half a year.

And the price of 5,000 gold coins is also a preferential price.

The gray dwarf prince left behind his retinue that came with him. Most of these people are businessmen.

Watching Sauron sign the two deeds of arrears, the Grey Dwarf couldn't wait to say, "We have the best underground engineers, and a large number of goblin slaves. It can provide paid assistance for the 'construction of underground works' for Dragon Court. Even if it's an underground palace. ”

Does Dragon Woodland need underground buildings?

In order to safely store some important supplies. The answer seems to be yes.

So far, however, Sauron has only chosen two projects for the construction of underground warehouses. As a result, he owes the Grey Dwarves another 2,000 gold coins.

"All in all, the Dragon Court Woodland already owes 12,000 gold coins. Combined with a month's payment to the Dwarven Forge, it was 13,500 gold coins. ”

Sauron's mental arithmetic numbers are very accurate. He generously paid for it at once with fifteen drops of totem, which made the gray dwarf's eyes shine.

The deed stated that Longting Forest Land could pay off the account within ten years. But Sauron paid it all on the first day. After all, a dozen drops of totem liquid are nothing. And the gray dwarf is already giving a preferential price.

A gray dwarf alchemist, with a pride close to that of a gray dwarf prince.

Looking at the green guy who was close to his chest, Zoro had noticed a clause in the alliance contract before, [The gray dwarf will be able to provide alchemy and basic alchemy goods to the Dragon Court Woodland. 】

Alchemy encompasses a wide variety of categories. There are basically more than 1,000 so-called alchemical goods.

I thought I wouldn't be able to use luxury jewelry for the time being. But because of the other party's words, Zoro instantly reversed his thoughts.

"Lord of the Dragon Court, we gray dwarf alchemists have the most exquisite alchemy skills. Considering the alchemy goods you need, 500 people return to the city scroll, 800 gold coins each. 1,000 people return to the city, 2,000 gold coins. ”

This explains why the Grey Dwarf Prince is so extravagant, using 500 people to return to the city scroll to teleport only 14 people, it turns out that people's technology can produce this kind of thing by themselves.

………………

The grey dwarves have left behind their merchants, and in the coming days, they are all signing contracts with Sauron to buy various supplies.

On the third day, the guard officer Leon trotted all the way into the hall of the lords, put his legs together in the center of the hall, bowed down, and reported to Sauron very neatly, "Lord Lord, you are from the Temple of Light!" ”

The Temple of Light came to the Dragon Court Woodland?

As one of the two giants of light and darkness in the Seven Temples. The activities of the Temple of Light in the Greenland are not actually restricted by the Dande Kingdom at all. Nominally, he is the leader of the Seven Great Temples.

Zoro was not surprised by the arrival of the Temple of Light, as the guard officer Leon saw Biggins with him.

"The Inquisition of the Temple of Light in the Green Shade!"

The Knights of Light, composed of hundreds of knights, far exceeded the standards allowed by the Dande Kingdom, declared their identities and galloped all the way to the lord's mansion.

"Welcome home, Lord Biggins." Guard Officer Leon stared at Perkins with a smirk.

Biggins' figure is still funny, but the outfit is not the same as in the past.

Visually, it looks like a mound of meat wrapped in a bright red carpet. But the texture of this red robe, and the golden thread on it, made Zoro see that Biggins had gotten his wish and had officially received the attention of the Fire Temple.

"Are you alright, Bijinfi." After only a few days of not seeing him, Zoro's hair was covered with a layer of frost, which surprised Beakins at first. However, for Zoro's 'greeting', his fat face was just piled up with an ugly wry smile.

"You're the lord of the land?"

Hearing a female voice, Sauron couldn't help but raise his head and look at it selectively.

From the center of the Holy Light Knight, which automatically divided into two columns, a stunner stepped out. A female knight, to be exact.

Ignoring her tone and eyes, judging by her appearance, it is indeed easy to believe that she has a seren, pure and holy soul.

A slim woman. Coupled with the white armor and cloak, it looks like a white butterfly, light and elegant. Blue eyes are full of penetrating power. Pure and elegant、...... Although Sauron could read an unfriendly glow from it.

"Not bad. I am the Baronian Lord of the Dragoncourt Glade, Sauron. ”

Naturally, Zoro took a step forward. He saw that the other person was smiling, but his eyes were extremely indifferent.

With a stir in his heart, Sauron could be sure that this was a bad omen.

At the same time, capturing a trace of an unusual expression on the other party's face, the guard officer Leon took two steps forward extremely quickly.

When the other party suddenly opened his mouth to give an order to the Holy Light Knight. At the same time, the guard officer Leon drew the cross-sword from his waist.

"Arrest him—"
