Out of the Lonely Mountain (Part II)
The most basic formation of a force is a self-sufficient group, and such a self-sufficient group can be called a real force.
Shirley is undoubtedly the luckiest player, and Gu Shan's internal resources alone are enough for her to be self-sufficient in her still immature forces. Moreover, the low resource requirements of the undead also give Shirley a huge advantage, the human village needs a lot of resources, daily food and wages to operate, while the undead village not only does not need wages, but even the food demand has been reduced a lot. This is also the reason why the vast majority of races have an aversion to the undead and the combat effectiveness of the undead soldiers is slightly lower than that of soldiers of the same level - the game company has balanced the races of this world well before it starts.
"Your story in this territory has just begun, my lord."
After the fame is high, there are naturally all kinds of talents to take refuge, including the man in front of him who looks like a nobleman. He was no taller than Shirley's knees, but his ultra-short stature was not a dwarf, he resembled a shrunken human. He was a little shorter than the dwarves. The male named Visaka, dressed in an extra-small aristocratic robe, was a Velonian creature who was engaged in diplomacy.
"I swear I can bring you enough allies and resources, as long as one of you promises my lord, I can serve you immediately."
People who slash and kill indiscriminately are destined to have no future, even someone with great luck like Shirley. So Shirley didn't let people attack the first time she saw this little diplomat, which also made Claire next to her breathe a sigh of relief. If you kill someone who comes to you, it will be a huge blow to your reputation.
"Prove your worth to me, you're not in a position to discuss commitments with me right now. Ah, if you really have the ability to make a reasonable offer, I'll consider it too. ”
Visa smiled wonderfully: "Of course, of course! My lord, here are your letters, although my main purpose is to be an errand with you, but on the way I have passed through several underground cities, some lords have written letters to you, do you need to read them? ”
Has this guy actually started to expand his diplomatic career? Shirley nodded as she thought, she had already learned from Claire's mourning bird that there were already human troops planning to come into the Lonely Mountain to make trouble for themselves, and now was the time to urgently need the help of some allies.
It is precisely the need for a diplomat to ease relations with the outside world.
There were three letters from Visaca.
Letter 1: An invitation from the Zombie Lady of the Northland
Ahh
Woo whoa, whoa! Ahh
Woo wow, hmm, wow.
Woo whoa, whoa!
(Zombie Language: Hello Miss Falcon, I heard your name from some wanderers who wandered underground, I hope this letter did not bring you unexpected fright and uneasiness, I am really sorry to write this letter, I heard that you are still single, so I am very sorry to write this letter!)
Because it is also single under it! There aren't many zombie lords in the first place, right?
If I have this privilege, I hope to be able to spend the night of the burial ground with you and the beautiful blood-red moonlit night, and I have prepared a tombstone cake and bibimbap.
If you have time, be sure to enjoy your face! )
- What the hell is this guy writing about Shenma? Aren't you also a woman? I mean, I'm not a girl myself, but isn't it a shame to receive and send such a letter from a girl's point of view?
Shirley covered her face, and the expressions of the others did not change, and even the lonely mountain zombie lady next to her, who could read the zombie text, did not speak.
"Aren't you surprised? I'm a woman, and she's a woman too! ”
Finally, Claire, who had an embarrassed expression, said slowly: "The undead have a long life and are incapable of giving birth themselves, so this is the reason why the wife or husband of the undead is not called a spouse but a partner. Gender options are just too extravagant for the undead..."
She said that she generally didn't continue, and her face turned red. Visa added very intimately: "The most important thing for the undead to choose a partner is to look good and look passable, the average zombie rarely gets married because other zombies either lack arms and legs, or they are really like a dead man... Old. A beautiful and charming zombie lady like Lord Shirley is very sought-after in the industry. The Lonely Mountain Ladies are not as good as their bodies and are known for their beauty. ”
- Ahhhh You said the industry, right!? You little dwarf just popped the word industry out of your mouth, right?
Shirley was speechless about this, but the letter ended up with a detailed map of the lonely mountain that made her feel better.
That's what works.
The second letter carries a gift box.
Letter 2: Greetings from the Goblin Chamber of Commerce
GuaBa|atea|sawo|paa|Uo……
……
(Goblin: Founded in 533, the Chamber is an association with a long history and ...... )
In short, it is a greeting to develop business, and the gift is a box of sour dates, which makes people feel worthy of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce, and this degree of stinginess is really eye-opening.
The remaining letter is also from a chamber of commerce, from the drow elves underground. The gift is a lot richer, a unit of crystal.
After packing up the letters, Shirley finally thought of Visaca, who was still waiting, and thought about it for a while, thinking that such diplomacy was still needed, so she also asked, "What commitment do you need?" ”
"I want your lordship to promise me that if my family needs political asylum in the future, they can find refuge in your territory, that's it. Our family has more than 100 people and has a talent for making and tailoring, as well as a good development in technology production. Currently being persecuted by the Bull, my native regime, I hope that if one day we need a place to take refuge, the lord can open the door to accommodate us. ”
Did you come to seek political asylum?
Normal people must think about the results at this time, but well...
"I can make this promise, so please get me to work right away. I need to know what the humans in the vicinity do, and I need to know what conditions can be met to slow them down, so go ahead. ”
Suzerain... Is it okay to say yes so simply?
Everyone present, including Visa herself, was surprised, and Shirley agreed without even thinking.
"Ahh The undead are originally hated existences, so if you offend some people more deeply, you can exchange them for help and earn money. ”
Shirley explained and then opened the map, "Reserve Army, today we are going to fight out of the inside, occupy the outside and provide us with a bridgehead!" ”
