Chapter 712 - Absorbing the Population
Thorin. Oak Shield thought through it, he didn't feel that the other party was humiliating him in a high-minded way, as the master of the fire dragon Smaug, the lord of Night City had the right to let him take the initiative to meet him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Ze summoned Suo Lin and the others in the living room on the third floor of the giant tree as usual, and the dried tofu was also on the side.
Generally speaking, the atmosphere after the meeting between the two sides was very good, in the spirit of mutual trust between the two sides, and under the confirmation of the light of harmony, the Night City and the Yamashita Kingdom signed a treaty of friendship and mutual assistance, and under the auspices of dried tofu, officially concluded a "strategic cooperation agreement".
Of course, it is only in the general sense that it is relatively close, and in fact, there is a big difference from the relationship between the two countries in the real world, after all, the so-called Yamashita Kingdom was only a few hundred thousand people in its heyday.
After the agreement was signed, Thorin finally relented, and visited Zhao Ze in a private capacity one evening, asking a more difficult question.
"You say the King's Gem and the Moonshine White Gem? This one...... Sorry, my men and I never entered the fortress, the only people who did were the elves of the Dark Forest, but they didn't find what they were looking for, and I'm sure the frustration on their faces when they left wasn't fake. ”
Coming with hope and returning full of disappointment, Thorin. Oak Shield is destined to have a bad night's sleep.
Zhao Zecai didn't bother to pay attention to it so much, anyway, he wouldn't hand over the Akon gem anyway, as for the moonlight white gem, it was the thing that Se Dad craved the most, and he was going to use it to exchange some things with Se Dad, of course it was impossible to take it out so quickly.
But there is also a key technical issue here.
Earlier, Zhao Ze only cared about getting the Akon gem, but ignored one point, that is, the uniqueness of the Akon gem.
If the Akon gem is not a unique gem in this world, Zhao Ze can take this opportunity to take it away from the dwarf, but if it is unique and can no longer find a second piece in this world, then if he wants to get it, Zhao Ze can only exchange it with achievement points.
At this stage, Zhao Ze is not sure about the uniqueness of Akon gemstones, so he can only take one step at a time.
On the other hand, after forming an alliance with the dwarves, the status of the city in the dark city has been officially established since then, and it was recognized by the Sylvan elves and the forces of the human race respectively, and now the addition of the dwarves is equivalent to giving the city of the night a legal symbolic meaning in Middle-earth, and as long as it does not encounter an extinction crisis in the future, the ruling power of the city can also be passed on from generation to generation.
Of course, this is meaningless to Zhao Ze, if Night City ceases to exist one day, there is only one possibility - Zhao Ze is not interested in Middle-earth and is ready to give up this plane.
But until then, Night City will only grow stronger.
The so-called prosperity, of course, is not only the military strength, now that the city has been established, the next thing to consider is the people's livelihood.
Night City's main city is vast enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, and the residents of Riverdale who originally lived here only occupy a small area the size of a palm on the edge of the main city.
Zhao Ze has only one plan and idea at this stage, that is, to absorb as many people as possible, and strive to build the Night City into the most magnificent city in Middle-earth as soon as possible.
To achieve this goal, the 10,000 people he brought with him were obviously not enough.
As for the population used to fill the Dark City, of course, it has to be brought in from other places......
First of all, Zhao Ze has no racial distinction, of course he wishes that all the elves living in the city are elves, but this is obviously impossible, I am afraid that only humans will regard this place as their home, even dwarves cannot live in a city that belongs to humans, and it is even more impossible for hobbits who yearn for an idyllic life.
In addition, there are half-orcs, goblins and other ugly-looking races, Zhao Ze is 100% sure to kill one by one, he will never allow these ugly monsters to defile his city.
In order to avoid overstimulation of the solin. The fragile spirit of the oak shield, Zhao Ze did not let the fire dragon Smaug return to the Lonely Mountain after the end of the journey to deliver the message, but let it continue to travel through the Middle-earth continent, and by the way, pass on the news that the Night City was going to recruit people, so that all the free people of the Middle-earth continent who could not live any days, or wanted to change their way of life, came to the Night City to seek a house.
With the lure of a job and free housing, Zhao Ze has every reason to believe that in the foreseeable future, the population of Night City will inevitably usher in a period of blowout.
While setting the development plan, Zhao Ze is also preparing to travel far away.
Since you have come to Middle-earth, if you don't see this magnificent river and mountain with your own eyes, wouldn't it be a trip for nothing?
Those who work hard have their own subordinates to serve on their behalf, even if there is really something important, Zhao Ze can return at any time to take care of one or two, and there is no need for him to keep an eye on it at other times.
Knowing that the city was going to travel, Dry Tofu also made a timely request to accompany him, after all, this old man was born to be an idle master, and he was left by Zhao Ze to live for a few days before, which had already made him sit on pins and needles.
The dried tofu is leaving, and of course the hobbits will follow, and although this trip didn't help much, he still has a lot to gain - Thorin. After the official coronation of the oak shield as king, it was specially given to Bilbo. Baggins had a box of gold coins, enough money for him to be extravagant for a lifetime.
Because he failed to experience a series of adventures in the original plot, today's hobbits are far from being mature, and Zhao Ze occasionally guesses in his heart that Bilbo. Will Baggins still get the golden ring as in the original story?
If he couldn't get the Lord of the Rings, he wouldn't have been able to live until he was one hundred and eleven years old, and without his care, Frodo, the protagonist of the Lord of the Rings. Who should Baggins be raised?
If there is no Frodo. Baggins, will the future Fellowship Squad be formed?
A series of questions filled Zhao Ze's heart with curiosity, although he was indifferent to the hobbit on the surface, but privately let the drone strengthen the monitoring of him.
Zhao Ze wanted to see if the power of the plane would affect Bilbo. Baggins' journey of destiny in the future.
Another week has passed, and when the new week comes, Zhao Ze also packed his bags and prepared to hit the road.
As the lord of a city, of course he can't go into battle lightly by himself, this is related to a symbol of personal status, once Zhao Ze runs around alone, no matter how strong he is, it will cause all kinds of criticism, and the image of Night City in the outside world will be damaged by this.
In addition to Zhao Ze and his ten women, there were also five hundred heavily armed ice bear knights following him.
Although five hundred actually doesn't seem to be much, judging from their actual combat strength, there are really not many forces that dare to fight Zhao Ze's idea.
