Chapter 872: There Really Are Such Big Islands Overseas
"Hehe, yes, you don't really think we value your island. If it weren't for a resource-rich place, we wouldn't want it. Otherwise, our Holy Dragon Empire wouldn't be so big. ”
Everyone present knew that the four empires and a few places were the most resource-rich regions on the entire continent, and the rest of the land was too barren for them to even think of occupying it. As for the Sacred Tree Realm, it wasn't because of how rich their land was, but because of their variety of plants and commercial trade with the Half-Elf Empire.
Hearing these people belittle overseas like this, Godhar and others were a little annoyed. But in fact, in terms of resources, there is indeed no way to compare with the Holy Dragon Empire.
"That's right, our resources are indeed far inferior to the Holy Dragon Empire, but there are no resources on the island, but there are many in the sea. The closest to the islands is the easiest to mine. ”
Everyone thought about it, and it was the same thing. There are many resources in the sea, but it is too difficult and too dangerous to go deep into the sea. If that's the case, it's a good place.
"That makes sense, so why don't you develop it yourself?" said one nobleman.
"Our alchemy ability is not as high as yours, even if we want to develop it, we can't do it. ”
It is no secret that Goldhall did not hesitate to speak out about his shortcomings.
"That's right, even if our Holy Dragon Empire can't effectively exploit the seabed now, it's indeed even more impossible for you. However, the sea close to the coastline is not a problem for us. ”
One nobleman said proudly, while another nobleman spoke, "But anyway, the Holy Tree Collar we really want to deal with." If it weren't for the Holy Tree Leader, we wouldn't care about anything overseas at all. ”
At this time, Glennon, who had been thinking for a long time, said: "Very good, the information you provided is very useful, then, how do you want to cooperate." "Duke Gnon is a little tempted by overseas resources.
After so many years of development, all places with resources have owners, and it is too difficult to expand. Even some ordinary veins were all scrambling for them by some minor nobles. Nowadays, opening up overseas and developing new resources is the best way to divert internal contradictions.
Moreover, maybe he can carry those dragons on his back and seek some benefits for the members of his lower council.
Without even thinking about it, Goethehar said, "We need the Flying Boat technique, as well as other alchemy techniques. In addition, our strength is far inferior to that of the Holy Tree Leader, and we will not be directly involved in the so-called war. ”
"Presumptuous, how can you covet the flying boat technique. I think these people are harboring evil intentions. ”
The flying boat is one of the most powerful military weapons of the Empire, how can it be handed over to outsiders casually. Once they develop, wouldn't that add another enemy to their Holy Dragon Empire.
It's just that Gunnon doesn't think so: "It's okay to provide you with some technology, but it can't be the first to be new, and you must also provide us with your technology, so that we can be equal." You may not be directly involved in the war, but you must provide them with some overseas information, especially about the Sacred Tree Territory. ”
Unexpectedly, the duke actually agreed, and Goldhar nodded hurriedly and said, "No problem, after consulting the head of the family, we will immediately send someone with sufficient status to sign an agreement with you." ”
"Agreements? We're going to sign a contract. "Agreements don't work at all. How could such a big thing not be bound by a strong contract. This way both parties can feel at ease.
"It should be, it should be. In Godhar's view, obtaining the technology of the Holy Dragon Empire will have a greater effect on the development of his family. And the Holy Dragon Empire doesn't look down on them at all. Even if they are given the technology, what can they do, when they finish cleaning up the Holy Tree Territory, the next thing is for them, and they have to get some outdated alchemy technology, and they don't have to spit it out.
They didn't want these two large islands to develop into two top-tier kingdoms that could compete with them.
The reason why those top kingdoms don't dare to move easily is that they don't want to lose too much. Each of these kingdoms is powerful enough to fly boat technology, and even has some other special knowledge and resources.
"Now, let's tell where you are. Duke Gunon spoke.
"Absolutely. "The parties have signed a provisional contract, and the next step is to guarantee the signing of a formal contract. On the map, Goethehar quickly drew a circle.
"From the Sacred Tree Lead, it's about this distance. ”
As soon as he saw this, Glenon tried a color on the person next to him. Then, all the people quietly began to do homely work. For this strange change, Goldhall and others did not know why, so they could only follow the local customs.
But what Goldhar didn't expect was that in less than two hours, near the end of the evening, a soldier hurried in. "Ladies and gentlemen, it has been found out that those big islands exist. ”
Then, a recording hedron was placed in the middle of the table, and when the hedron was activated, the footage recorded from the sky appeared in front of their eyes. Below the sky, there are large islands, and there are people and buildings on the islands. In terms of proportion, each of these islands is indeed not much smaller than the Holy Dragon Empire.
"There are such big islands overseas, and today is really a long experience. ”
"Yes, yes, I haven't found it before, so it seems that I am looking in the wrong direction. Look at the airships in the picture, they are all from the Holy Tree. Unexpectedly, the Holy Tree Collar has actually developed overseas. ”
"Hmph, what about developing overseas, sooner or later it will be our world. If the Holy Tree Leader doesn't want to give up, he will definitely not say anything. When they want to say it, who will believe them. ”
Many nobles are now too satisfied. The big nobles don't look down on the barren and remote places, but the little nobles do. It's just that all lands are ownery, and even empires can't attack other countries at will.
But overseas is different, there is no direct connection between overseas and inland at all. As long as it is knocked down, after the wood is completed, other empires will have no chance to intervene, and these places can only belong to the Holy Dragon Empire. Then the next question is how to divide the land and resources of this island.
And Godhar and the others were shocked, they didn't expect that the Holy Dragon Empire would be able to run back and forth in such a short period of time, how did this happen? The foundation of the empire is really unfathomable.
