Home decoration, yesterday demolished the wall, dismantled the bed, and demolished the bathroom! Then I finally lost my dear bed and rolled onto the couch in a sad way!

The more developed the commodity economy, the busier the circulation of goods, the greater the demand for currency, and the greater the need for a unified settlement of international currency to calculate the value of goods. In reality, because of the lack of gold and silver, paper money can only be used instead of gold and silver. But the last thing missing in the game is gold, and there are more precious metals than gold, so natural metal currency has become the main means of trading.

It's just that the currency used in the daily transactions of the underground dwarves in the city is mainly based on the rock gold currency made by the city itself, and this currency can only be used for transactions within the city, and the external transactions are mainly barter. So the old dwarf Mithera actually has such a problem in his heart, that is, the problem of currency settlement.

It would be absolutely impossible to get the dwarves of the city to collect gold coins, not to mention that for the dwarves of the city of the city, those gold coins that are not as big as their fingernails are not eye-catching, and even if they do, they have no place to spend them in the underground world. The currency of each city in the city-states of the Underworld is not uniform, because all the inhabitants of the Underworld, except for the good dwarves and a few other inhabitants of the orderly camp, believe in the truth that might is right.

If they see good things, they don't buy them with money, but directly choose to grab them. Even among the dwarves there are cunzii who act as robbers, after all, not all dwarves are completely kind cunzi. For survival reasons, dwarves can also become robbers. At least there are many dwarven bandits on the ground, even if the legendary elves who love beauty can become fierce robbers.

Of course, if Mithera and his gang were robbers, it is estimated that Chen Kai and them would have already died in the underground world, and even their bones would have turned to ashes. In fact, if it weren't for Chen Kai, there were many of them at that time, plus Seram? Silver is worried about the loss of manpower. It is estimated that before the old dwarf Mithera appeared, Seram Silver would attack and avenge his own people while grabbing a sum by the way. Don't think he won't do that, in fact, as long as the inhabitants of the underworld even the good and orderly camp will act as bandits, because life in the underworld is too difficult.

In fact, if it weren't for the strong combat effectiveness of the cavalry shown by Drake today, it is estimated that after the old dwarf Mithera returned to the underground, he chose not to trade with Chen Kai, but to let the dwarven soldiers of the entire city attack Burkner Town. Of course, after knowing that the town of Burkner was a small aristocratic territory of the Hansting Empire, Mithera directly gave up this idea. No matter how powerful the city of the black dwarves is, even if the city is dozens of kilometers underground, if it angers a huge empire, it is estimated that the end will still be the destruction of the city. In addition, if the dwarven warriors of the city attacked the town of Burkna, it would basically be equivalent to the migration of the tribe. If there is no way to gain a foothold on the ground, more than 100,000 black dwarves will really be homeless.

At the same time, he wanted Mithera to abandon the underground city, even if he, the dwarven elder, was willing and the entire black dwarf clan would not agree. The city that took thousands of years to complete is not a new city like Chen Kai, which was only established for less than two months, and time and years are the ultimate weapons to carve out a city's defense. The thousand-year-old defensive arrangement of the city can be said to be impregnable. Compared with Chen Kai's city wall, which is made of earth and stone, the city wall of Sucheng is a real steel barrier made of rock and metal solution. You must know that the walls of the city are strong, and Cheng Dù is almost impossible to leave a depression in the city wall with the full strength of the Holy Domain.

It is impossible for the black dwarves to give up the steel city they have operated for thousands of years for the sake of an ordinary earth and stone city wall, and the most important thing is that the natural geographical environment of the city is very suitable for forging. If the city is lost, the dwarves who make a living from forging will lose a natural furnace. At the same time, a large area of mining will be lost due to volcanic sewing. …,

Of course, although the city is good, after all, it is too close to the underground volcano, and if the volcano erupts, the entire city will be destroyed in an instant. However, as children of the earth, dwarves not only have strong forging abilities, but also have an extremely strong affinity for the earth element. Eight out of ten dwarven mages are earth elemental spellcasters. Of course, dwarven casters mostly mobilize elements for engineering rather than focusing on combat. Therefore, the dwarven caster can easily control the flow of the sewing underground, thus reducing the chance of the city being destroyed by the volcano.

But the dwarves' talent in the mage profession is far inferior to their talent for blacksmithing. There are only three dwarven spellcasters at the level of the entire Grand Mage of the Castle, and almost all of them are the old ones. If the volcano does erupt. It is estimated that these three archmage-level dwarven mages may not be able to save the entire city even if they are desperate. Therefore, the elder-level dwarves of Sucheng are very crisis-conscious, and basically they will not be as heartless as Seram, the future king of dwarves. Doesn't care about anything at all other than knowing how to fight.

Of course, the political system of the dwarves is also destined to be powerless even if the dwarven king wants to care about the construction of the city, and the dwarven king is not only a symbol, but also the military leader of the entire dwarf city-state, that is, in charge of fighting. As for the construction problems within the city, they were largely solved by the Council of Presbyterians. This is similar to both the dwarves underground and the dwarves on the ground, the only difference is that the dwarven king above the ground has more power.

But no matter what, it's definitely not the future dwarf king Serram who really calls the shots in the whole negotiation now? Silver. Not to mention that he is the future king of the black dwarves, even if it is the current king of the black dwarves, it will not be his turn to intervene in the negotiation when there is a dwarven elder. The power of the Dwarven Elders is very large, even greater than the power of the members of Congress in the United States in reality, because some Dwarven Elders have the responsibility of teaching the future Dwarven King in addition to participating in the affairs of the city. The most important thing is that the dwarven elders are almost for life, and the power of the American congressmen, even senators, is not as great as that of the dwarven elders, because they cannot become the teachers of the future president of the United States.

At the same time, it is impossible for U.S. senators to negotiate directly with foreign countries, because U.S. senators are very capable, but that is not based on their own identity as a congressman, but on the fact that they basically represent the interests of their states. But it can only represent the interests of one state. State-to-State negotiations cannot be conducted directly. Although the negotiation between Chen Kai and Sucheng cannot be said to be between countries, for Sucheng, the negotiation treaty signed by the dwarf elders is basically similar to that of a national-level negotiation treaty, and it has the ability to take effect immediately.

This is not to say that the power of the dwarf elders is too great and unrestricted, but because each dwarven elder is the most respected of the dwarves. At the same time, every dwarven elder has the interests of the city first. Because the dwarves are a race with a very strong centripetal force, no matter whether the dwarves were robbers or thieves before, when the dwarves are in crisis, they will respond quickly and participate in the battle. Dwarven robbers never rob dwarves, even when they are dying of hunger. Therefore, if a dwarven elder wants to give up the interests of the dwarven clan for his own interests, it is not as simple as directly letting him commit suicide.

In the end, no matter how Xu Fei lobbied, even a group of people went into battle together, it didn't touch the heart of the old dwarf Mithera. In his opinion, it was okay to make a simple deal with Burkner, but it was absolutely impossible to form an alliance. The dwarven warriors of Sucheng will never sit idly by and watch their allies be attacked after forming an alliance, so once they form an alliance, the dwarven warriors will inevitably help Chen Kai eliminate those demonized soldiers. The old dwarf Mithera would never agree to this. The soldiers of the Black Dwarf clan are very precious and cannot be sacrificed for a small profit, even if the interests are strong enough for the black dwarves, the life of the clan is still higher than the interests of the black dwarves. …,

In the end, Chen Kai and the others had to give up the idea of tying the dwarves to the chariot, and even the idea of hiring the dwarves as mercenaries was blocked by the old dwarf Mithera. In the opinion of the old dwarf Misera, the enemy of the town of Chenkai Berkna was too strong. Especially when he saw the combat effectiveness of those demonized soldiers, he didn't think that Chen Kai would be able to wipe out these creatures from hell. You must know that on the way to escort Chen Kai and his party back to the ground, the old dwarf saw a lot of demonized soldiers, and the black dwarf warriors even participated in the battle against the demonized soldiers. The combat effectiveness of those demonized soldiers surprised the old dwarf Mithera, because the extremely elite dwarven warriors could not immediately take advantage of the opponent when facing the opponent, and they almost died at the hands of the opponent when they first took the face.

These crazy soldiers were the most ferocious beings the old dwarf Mithera had ever seen in her life. And they seemed to have received some kind of order, and when they saw Chen Kai and their group, they attacked wildly, even if their bodies were seriously injured and they lost their arms, they would not stop. In the face of such an enemy, no matter how elite the soldiers of Sucheng are, no matter how strong the armor is, they need to weigh it. So in the end, the old dwarf rejected Chen Kai's idea of forming an alliance. It's just that it's one thing for him to refuse, when the army of demonized soldiers of the former Hugodi appeared at the gate of the city. The Black Dwarves also had to choose to organize an army to fight against the terrifying demonic army.

"This old guy is really tough to deal with!" While the old dwarf Mithera sat in the living room of the lord's mansion drinking tea, Chen Kai and Xu Fei were in another room discussing the trade agreement that had just been decided. Even Xu Fei, who is proficient in in-game contracts, can't find a trace of this agreement where he can take advantage of the dwarves. The dark-skinned and gray-bearded black dwarf Mithera was now in Chen Kai's eyes, almost like a barrister in a suit with gold-rimmed glasses. The agreement was clearly organized, and there was no trace of overstepping the rules, let alone a trace of allowing Chen Kai to take advantage of them.

In this agreement, although the exchange of food for weapons and equipment is very cost-effective, and the exchange of sophisticated weapons produced by the dwarves for low-value food is cost-effective. You must know that if these weapons and equipment are in hand, Chen Kai will immediately make two or three times the profit as long as he changes hands slightly. But Chen Kai knew very well that although there was a lot of money from changing hands in this way, it also meant that most of the harvest in the entire town of Burkna this season would have to be sold to the dwarves, and if the population increased again, the residents of the entire city would go hungry. At that time, no matter how much money Chen Kai has, he will not be able to get food, and the end will still be the destruction of the city.

But if they don't make a deal, Chen Kai's soldiers will have to fight the well-equipped demonized soldiers with ordinary weapons. You must know that the combat effectiveness of those demonized soldiers was stronger than Chen Kai's soldiers, and the armor they wore was stronger than the ordinary armor that Chen Kai assigned to the soldiers. The weapon has become more vicious and sharper under the demonic power. If Chen Kai didn't upgrade his equipment, then he would also be ruined. The reason why he still exists now is only because those demonized soldiers can't find the opportunity to attack on a large scale for the time being, or to take into account the huge army of the Hansting Empire in the north. If the former lord of Hugodi knew that those armies would not have been able to reach here again to quell the rebellion. At the same time, if the army of hundreds of thousands of players has already rushed to the Golden Plain and even further north like locusts to fight, it is estimated that the entire Hugodi territory will be attacked by the other party in the next moment.

So no matter how hostile those aboriginal nobles were to Chen Kai, everyone was tied together as grasshoppers on the road of dealing with demonized soldiers. But this kind of grasshopper tied together is at most just not dragging you back when the demonized soldiers attack your territory, and players may be able to help each other, but it is almost impossible for players and aboriginal nobles to help each other. For the natives, maybe the commoners at the bottom are not enough to repel a traveler lord, but the nobles at the top are very repulsive to the player lords who grab their own territory. Of course, in the south of Hansting, the days of the player lords are much better than those of the player lords in the north. The aboriginal aristocracy of the North was inherently more xenophobic. They don't even buy much into the rule of the Imperial Family, and they are extremely hostile to the player's territory that suddenly appears next to them, unless it is a pawn set up by themselves. …,

In fact, players have very few territories in the north, and even if they have status, it is very embarrassing. Because the relationship between the great lords of their territory and them is not harmonious. One side was arranged by the imperial family, and it was set up in the territory of those big lords as a containment according to the systematic arrangement, and the other side regarded its territory as its own kingdom and suddenly parachuted an outsider small lord of the imperial royal family, which felt as unpleasant as eating a fly in a meal.

This contempt for the player makes the Southern Lords, who are themselves despised by the Northern Lords, feel more sympathetic to the player, which may be the reason why feelings of Freemasonry make the Southern Lords live better than their Northern compatriots. The aboriginal nobles in Hugodi's realm belonged to the northern aristocracy. Whether it is from the side of the big nobles behind them or from the side of the northern nobility, players will be suppressed by them if they want to gain a foothold in Hugodi. Although it seems that the two sides are almost evenly matched at the moment, if you really want to fight for resources, players can't compare to those aboriginal lords who have the support of their father's territory behind them.

Therefore, in Hugodi, although the players can't look at each other, they are eager to clear each other out and finally dominate the entire territory. But everyone knows that they need unity more than ever when facing the pressure of the Native Lords, especially when there is a more terrifying threat from demonic soldier forces behind them. As a result, the entire Hugodi is now basically formed into a faction of player territories centered on Chen Kai's town of Burkner. and the Native Lords faction centered on the Barony of Kemal.

Although the old dwarf Mithera knew something about these things, he still couldn't make him firmly stand on Chen Kai's side. At the same time, the grain purchase agreement he signed with Chen Kai was actually just a transaction. In his opinion, the food in Chen Kai's territory is estimated to be unable to support even the residents of Chen Kai's own territory, let alone the dwarves who are born with big appetites. In fact, the food he Chen Kai bought here was not enough for the entire dwarves in Sucheng for two weeks, knowing that the appetite of the dwarves was twice that of ordinary humans, and the number of dwarven residents in Sucheng was more than three times that of Burkner. This would allow the inhabitants of Burkner to eat food for at least two months, and for the dwarves for two weeks at most.

This food is a drop in the bucket for the populous dwarves, most of whom still feed on unpalatable animal meat and mushrooms. So unless Chen Kai can provide food that will keep the entire city from starving forever, then maybe the old dwarf Mithera will agree to Chen Kai's request for an alliance, but obviously Chen Kai can't do it. However, it was not long before Mithera got a surprise, because shortly after he put down the teacup, he saw a large number of player lords walking into the lord hall under the leadership of Xu Fei.

"Phineas! You're so righteous this time! I even divided all the food in my mouth to everyone! "The player from the Xianghu Brotherhood patted Xu Fei's ass, for this kind of large-scale transaction with the dwarves, if it were replaced by him, he would definitely hide it and eat alone, instead of directly announcing it like Xu Fei and letting the various player lords send people to conduct business negotiations.

"Do you think I don't want to eat alone? I can't eat it! These dwarves don't want gold, or you think my boss won't be able to eat the dwarves!" Xu Fei didn't have any pleasant feelings about the sycophants of the player behind him, and at the same time, the faces of those players changed when they heard Xu Fei's words. Everyone knows that among the richest players in the game, the name Kaichen is definitely leveraged, and he smashed tens of millions of gold coins to create such a rich man in a town without even blinking an eye. Even the gold coins in the hands of Western consortia are not as many as Kaichen, because the other party's money is earned in the game, not purchased through guò exchange huàn. The amount of gold coins in the game will not increase significantly, otherwise those consortia in reality will not want to accumulate gold coins a little bit. Therefore, for Xu Fei's words, the agents of these player lords were naturally convinced. Maybe these players can throw out millions of gold coins without blinking, but more than 10 million or even more than 20 million at once is definitely unbearable. (To be continued......) ……，
