Chapter 115: The Meeting
Passerby A and the mountain ant together, along with the returning goblin army arrived at the capital of the Sanzan Kingdom, the next task is to meet the Goblin King, but the mountain ant did not immediately arrange this meeting, he seems to want the Goblin Armor to feel the appearance of the capital of the Sanzan Kingdom, by the way, calm down, adjust the state, so that you can meet the next meeting in a better mental state.
Such a break was short, but it was indeed useful, and Passerby A was almost literally talking to the mountain ants along the way, explaining those strange terms, and his mouth was dry, and now it was time to rest.
It didn't take long for the order to summon the king to be given, and Passerby A soon saw the king above ten thousand people.
From the goblin's point of view, the king didn't look as burly as he imagined, but a very well-proportioned figure, with a pair of eyes that were somewhat gloomy.
"You're the messenger inside the mouth of the mountain ant? What about those strange machines of yours? Take them out and see them. The king made a straightforward request to the messenger.
Passerby A instantly felt that this king had a very good appetite for himself, he was like a white wolf, he never beat around the bush when he spoke, but he didn't dare to snub this noble king, nor did he dare to leave his own work behind, he was just a messenger, and he was not qualified to judge the monarch in front of him.
There was no need for passer-by A to do it himself, a few soldiers brought in the runic equipment given by the white wolf from the outside, and Passerby A took this opportunity to look around, and found that the hall was full of people, even the fat mountain ant, it seemed that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military had arrived, which was enough to see that the king attached great importance to this matter.
"But don't make a mistake..... passer-by sweated slightly on his head, recalled the actions that the white wolf taught him over and over again, and saw that the instruments were already in place, so he took a long breath, calmed down, and stepped forward to start the demonstration.
Fortunately, the demonstration ended smoothly, and there were no problems halfway, part of the credit should be attributed to the correct operation of passerby A, and part of the credit should be attributed to the white wolf rune array, his rune array has always been very reliable.
Because he had seen many demonstrations of rune equipment before, the mountain ant looked at the performance of passer-by A with an indifferent expression, but in addition to him, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces and the king were shocked by the power of the rune equipment, and asked passer-by A to demonstrate it a few more times, so he left first.
Walking out of the court, the passer-by A took a breath, he came over this time with a total of two tasks, the first person's task has been completed, and the next is the second task, to explore some of the people's livelihood in the Goblin Kingdom, before leaving, the white wolf told him that the importance of this task is comparable to the demonstration weapon, or even worse.
Passerby A has also heard the white wolf muttering about what economic base determines the superstructure, although he doesn't understand the meaning of this sentence very well, but he also knows that the white wolf attaches great importance to the basic issues of some things, and the white wolf has told the goblin armor that the people and population of a country are the foundation of the country.
Before leaving the palace, Passerby asked the king if he could walk around the royal capital, and the Goblin King was surprised, but he didn't think much about it, but gave him the right to move freely, and arranged for him two guards, nominally to protect the emissary's safety, but in fact to keep an eye on the emissary.
Before passer-by A left, the white wolf told him that if he wanted to observe the people's livelihood, he should first start from the directions of food, clothing, housing, medical care, and prices.
Passerby A began to investigate on this side, but there was already a quarrel in the Goblin Palace on the other side, and the object of the quarrel was the runic paraphernalia that the white wolf gave them.
At the moment, these ministers are clearly divided into three factions, one is the conservative who believes that these runic devices should not be accepted, the other is the eclectic who believes that the treaty should be honored, and the other is the radical who believes that the wizard should break through the fog and plunder everything.
Seeing these three factions quarrel again, the Goblin King couldn't help frowning, since he ascended the throne, he realized that the king is not so easy to be, these three factions are subordinate to three different forces, of which only the compromise faction belongs to the king himself, and the other two factions are either overtly or covertly related to those Grand Dukes.
These three factions are always intriguing, often one faction puts forward an opinion, the other two factions must oppose it, and do not listen to anything at all, and the other two factions subordinate to other forces often even obstruct the king's orders, which makes the king feel very bored.
But the king had no way to move them, and once the king had made up his mind to eradicate the opposition, the Grand Duke would jump out of the curtain and oppose the king's approach on the grounds of the inviolability of the right to freedom of deliberation.
The current Goblin King has learned to ignore the chattering opposition as underground worms, and the only thing he really values is the eclectic, and the leader of this faction is his uncle, the Mountain Ant.
"What do you think about this?" said the king, turning to his uncle, the mountain ant.
"If this self-proclaimed Rune Sect is a force that can be trusted, then we can make a lot of money from it, after all, they are just asking us for some garbage. The mountain ant replied that he still insisted on his original decision, after all, he had drawn up the agreement.
"But what if they can't be trusted?" the king was more worried about.
"Then teach them a lesson in the goblin tradition. The mountain ant didn't think about it at all, and blurted it out directly.
The Goblin King nodded, of course he understood what the Goblin tradition was, and there was only one way to dare to deceive him, and that was to be retaliated by the Sanzan Kingdom, and then he would have enough reason to use the methods of the radicals and use some violent means to force the other party to submit.
"Is there really no way to break through that fog?" asked the Goblin King tentatively, preferring to grab it if possible.
The mountain ant shook his head: "It can't be broken, and now even if there is no fog, we can't do it easily, the Kingdom of Ozan and the Kingdom of Ezan know of their existence, and it is very likely to give them an independent guarantee, attacking them is likely to mean that we will start a war with two great powers at the same time."
"Tsk... Tut.... The Goblin King shook his head, he knew that he could not afford such a price, with his prestige and strength, it was impossible for him to lead his country to start a war against the other two countries, if he wanted to provoke a war, it was very likely that he would face those Grand Dukes first, and he really did not have the strength to deal with foreign forces until the domestic politics were pacified.
"Then do as you say. The Goblin King finally made up his mind and agreed to the pact that the Ants had drawn up earlier.
On the white wolf's side, the relocation work has just been completed, and the next aftermath work is underway, the spider demon lair is not small, but if you want to accommodate more than 300 goblins, the space is also a little insufficient, and the white wolf can only let a small number of goblins temporarily live on the periphery of the lair.
The mushroom cultivation field was moved to the center of the spider demon's lair, and the white wolf took advantage of this relocation to separate the goblins as a family unit, so that the efficiency of management was much improved.
In order to improve the efficiency of management and improve the safety factor of the territory, the white wolf plans to use the rune circle to create something similar to ID cards for the goblins to draw on their bodies in the future, so that they can quickly identify the alien population and prevent spies from infiltrating.
However, making ID cards is a big project, and the white wolf doesn't have so much blood to put out for the time being, and he can't do that much work alone, so he plans to teach the foxes about it when the mud stone is transported.
Seeing that the relocation project here came to an end, the white wolf summoned the red leaves out to open the fog, and went to his original place of residence to find his sister, which will be the future mine and the main direction of the white wolf's expansion, only there is no goblin kingdom in that direction, so expanding to that side is not a violation of the agreement made before.
The white wolf gave her sister the task of guarding and managing the mining area, but the black wolf did not seem to have the potential to be a manager, she saw that the goblins who were operating the automatic mining there kept blasting thunderstorms to smash the walls, she felt itchy in her heart, and then directly went into battle herself, and began to dig up the walls with her own claws, so frightened that the operators quickly moved their guns away from the black wolf, they did not dare to hurt this high-ranking and powerful mine administrator.
Although the addition of the black wolf disrupted part of the order of the coal mine, it greatly accelerated the speed of digging the hole, and after a while, a huge space was cleared, and the side was full of abandoned debris.
The white wolf doesn't need to worry about the sudden collapse of this mining area and crushing people, the cave here will not collapse, after all, this is the underground of another world, and the white wolf doesn't know what kind of power is supporting so many caves, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it for the time being, now the important thing is to dig a hole quickly and expand your territory.
