Originally, Carl didn't call Nina for the banquet for Ruya, but for some reason Nina not only made a noise to participate in this banquet, but also came to the house in advance to help clean up together, although she couldn't help at all, but just this positivity made Carl suspicious, and later Nina explained that it was because of the cooperation with Lua's Black Stone Workshop, and now the wealth of the Boulder Chamber of Commerce is rising, and she did it purely to thank Luya. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this statement is obviously a bit far-fetched, after all, the Giant Stone Chamber of Commerce is more about letting Nina have something to put on her mind, and she doesn't care too much about money or anything with Nina's kind of personality. With these suspicions, coupled with Nina's intentional or unintentional actions today, Carl feels that there is something between Luya and Nina.

Thinking of this, Carl glanced at Nina and Ruya a few more times with meaningful eyes, of course, he was secretly watching and was not discovered by the two.

As Nina and the children left, the hall gradually quieted down, and at Carl's beckoning, Luya followed him to a vine stone corridor in the courtyard. It was a quiet place, with an open view, thick vines blocking the sunlight, and a gentle breeze blowing, and Ruya almost wanted to sleep comfortably in a chair made of vines. But now he can't sleep, because he knows that the next thing is the main play, eating or everything is floating clouds, Carl, who has never seen him, suddenly invited Lu Ya to the City Lord's Mansion Naturally, it will not be as simple as just having a meal, Lu Ya is also guessing in his heart what Carl has to find himself, and now the answer is about to be revealed.

"I don't know if Patriarch Ruya knows about our orc alliance between the north and the south," Karl said after sitting down with a deep groan.

"Well, I know," Ruya replied truthfully. He also had just learned about the North-South Alliance, and he had not been known for a long time, but he still learned from the mouth of the silver priest Dukes.

"Oh, I don't know what Patriarch Luya thinks about this" Carl looked at Rouya with some surprise, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect that the patriarch from this small tribe really knew.

"I don't think much, but they're just poor people who live for life and dignity," Ruya said softly.

"How can you say that?" asked Karl with interest.

"In fact, whether it is the Southern Union or the Northern Alliance, everyone wants to live well, but everyone's beliefs are different, the Southern Alliance chooses to compromise with humanity to a certain extent in order to live and develop better, while the Northern Alliance is declining little by little for the sake of dignity. Ruya shrugged.

"So you're leaning towards the Confederate Alliance," Karl's brow furrowed.

"No, on the contrary, I appreciate the backbone of the Northern Alliance, but...

"But what?" Karl's face looked much better.

"But it's not the right way, yes, it's the way," Luya affirmed.

"How?" Karl was a little puzzled.

"Ways of communicating with humans"

"What's there to communicate with humans," Karl frowned again.

"No, no, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about compromise, it's another way, does Lord Carl know why humans are obviously inferior to us orcs in strength, but they suppress us so badly?"

"Why?" Karl suddenly felt that there was a change of role between the two, how could he be the one who listened and then asked.

"Because of this," Ruya pulled out a gold coin from his bosom.

"Money?" Karl blinked.

Ruya smiled slightly, and then continued. "It's actually a bit one-sided to say that it's money, or it's a means to make money, don't look at me like that, I'm not saying how to die for money, money can also be said to be the economy here, and the economy is the most important factor in stimulating social development, there is no one. Whether it is the change of kingdoms, the birth and death of tribes, or eating, drinking, Lazar, clothing, food, housing and transportation, all of this is closely related to economic development, not to mention human beings, let's just say that we orcs, from ancient times to the present, we have lived on this continent in the way left by our ancestors, everyone has received the same education and life since childhood, the same birth, old age, sickness and death, no one has ever wanted to change it and get out of it. Of course, there is nothing wrong with going on like this, because everyone's horizons are so wide, no matter who fights whose tribe, who wins and who loses, it will not cause any major changes in the direction of history, maybe it will change after countless years, but it is definitely not an overnight thing."

"And what about human beings, why are they so much weaker than us in individual strength, and the number of people is not much worse than ours, but in the end, it is our orc race that is suppressed by humans and can only hide in the corner to survive, don't say that I use the wrong words, the actual situation Karl City Lord should know better than me" Ruya glanced at Karl who wanted to speak and stopped.

"That's because their weapons and equipment are better than ours, we are better than them individually, but they never confront us head-on, what can we do" Karl finally couldn't help but speak.

"Why are the weapons and equipment better than ours, and why are people confronting us head-on?" Lu Ya rolled his eyes.

"Why" Karl weakened.

"・・・・・・・・," said Ruya, after a moment of silence, "has no one ever thought about it carefully?"

"I don't know," Karl's answer silenced Ruya again.

"Well, to put it simply, because they know how to be flexible, to create, and have long known that war does not have to rely on fists to win, sometimes some soft knives can achieve better results than fists without a single soldier, and the economy is such a soft knife that kills without blood. Human beings increase productivity through invention and creation, and the increase in productivity will drive economic growth, and economic growth will promote the development of the social level, of course, there will be a series of contradictions that will follow, and then the development of society to a certain extent may have internal contradictions such as overcapacity, and the best way to solve internal contradictions is to divert attention to the outside, or war~" Luya looked at Carl again after speaking, and the latter looked at him blankly.

"Well, Lord Carl, can you understand what I'm talking about?" asked Ruya.

"・・・・・ don't seem to understand ・・・・・ very well"

“・・・・・・・”

"But... It seems to make sense" Carl's serious expression couldn't help but remind Lu Ya of a classic line from Stephen Chow's 'God of Food' that circulated on the Internet before the time crossing - although I don't know what you're talking about, but it feels so powerful!

Lu Ya tried his best to suppress the thousands of divine beasts in his heart rushing by, and then took a deep breath, and then let himself relax as much as possible, and spoke.

"Then let's not talk about those who have and don't, just act as if you didn't say anything just now, Cal City Lord, you continue"

"Uhh

"North-South Alliance, you asked me just now if I know about the North-South Alliance" Lu Ya sweated wildly in his heart, this Carl City Lord didn't seem to have departed from the tendon way of thinking of Lux Shi, and he was completely novice to some intriguing political issues.

"Oh, yes, that's right, the North-South Alliance, cough~" Carl straightened up, he felt a little embarrassed to be bluffed by a few words from the little patriarch Lu Ya just now, and he was trying to show his usual majesty.

"It seems that Patriarch Luya, you know the basic situation of the North-South Alliance, since this is the case, it is much more convenient to say, speaking of which, my Megalith City is already the northernmost border of the Northern Alliance, and it is one of the defenders of the Northern Alliance, and the location of the Blackstone Tribe is exactly at the very edge that the power of the Stone Tower Tribe can extend to, in fact, the Blackstone Tribe should be regarded as under my Megalith City system, but due to a series of reasons in the past, the Stone Tower Tribe replaced us, which should actually be seen from the distance between your Black Stone City and the Stone Tower Tribe and Boulder CityKarl took a sip from the glass of water on the side, then looked at Ruya.

Lu Ya nodded and said that he also knew, of course, what Carl just said belongs to the system of such and such a force This explanation is still very official, in fact, whether it is Boulder City or the Stone Tower Tribe, there has never been a real division of the Blackstone tribe from beginning to end, but when the major forces are divided into regions, according to their respective boundaries, all the forces within this range should be under their control, as for whether to govern or not, it is determined by the big tribe and the big forces, but whether it is really governed or not, as long as it is within the sphere of influence, there is nothing wrong with people saying so。

"Hehe, I don't mean anything else when I say this, Patriarch Luya has made such incredible achievements in less than a year, it can be said that in this area, there is no one who does not give Patriarch Luya a thumbs up. Having said all this, there is one thing that both you and I have to make clear, Patriarch Luya, are you from our Northern Alliance, or a supporter of the Southern Alliance?" Karl said and looked at Luya quietly, his face expressionless.

After listening to Carl's question, Lu Ya pondered for a while, and already understood what Carl meant, to put it bluntly, Lu Ya, as the most shining star in the area of Black Rock City at this time, has reached the point where it can make Carl look at it squarely, but unlike those old tribes that are slowly developing step by step, Lu Ya's explosive development speed began to make Carl have a little scruples, after all, if he didn't see the development speed of the Black Stone tribe with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it at all, plus he had never been in contact with the Black Stone tribe before, so for this Black Stone tribe that was not under his control, he couldn't even figure out his true thoughts, Carl has to figure out the doubts in his heart, at least to know what the other party's position is, but Carl can ask it like this, and it can't help but expose the problem of his low political attributes, and people with a little political acumen will not ask so directly, now Lu Ya is in his lair, knowing that there is no good fruit to eat if he offends him, even if he is really biased towards the Southern Alliance, he is not stupid enough to say it directly・・・・・ (to be continued.) )
