Chapter 344: Attention from the Pope
The news that the little dwarf Modo suppressed and subdued the five dragon city coalition forces did not spread widely in the human world like the glorious results of the last war with the Wizards' Guild, and finally made it known to women and children. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But for those major forces that have their own relevant intelligence channels, after learning the news that surprised them, the impact was not less than last time, and even more surprising.
The prestige of the dragon clan has been loud on this continent for I don't know how many years, and it is almost a legendary existence, and now it has been pulled down from the altar high by a lord of a rural empire.
However, it doesn't seem so appropriate to call the Orc Empire a country empire again, this poor country of orcs that has been almost ignored by the mainstream world of mankind has become a powerful force to be reckoned with on each continent.
Countless profit-seeking human merchants, laden with all kinds of human world's specialties and goods, climbed mountains and waded thousands of miles to trade in the Iron Realm, and such caravans were simply endless on the roads of the Blackstone Wasteland, and all they did was to make extremely high profits.
As for the orc empire that the human world used to privately treat, the common name regulation that controlled the import of strategic materials has long become a big joke; the orc empire has long been no longer the country that even had to import iron pots; and the steel products manufactured under the new technology of the steel collar are much better than those of the human world.
Even their production is terrifying, and now among the nobles and lords of the Roland Empire, the kind of small western-style buildings that require a lot of steel and concrete to build are said to have been passed on from the steel city of the Orc Empire from the beginning.
What the current steel collar needs most is food, cloth and other daily necessities, which are abundant in all countries in the human world, and after the steel collar gave an excellent price, the so-called idea of blockade has become a complete joke.
In fact, now the result has turned around, and those unique specialties of the steel collar have made a group of merchants break their heads.
Red Star Wodega, Naked Chicken and Duck, Secret Herbal Powder, Sophisticated Magical Equipment...... These things, which are worth a lot of money as long as they are brought back to the human world, are literally in the warehouses of the Steel City.
However, what makes the human merchants mad is that only according to the amount of materials transported to the steel collar can they obtain a certain ration, otherwise even if you pay a sky-high price, you will not want to buy even a little more from the hands of those shrewd fox treasurers.
However, among all the forces that have learned the news that the little gnomes have defeated the dragon alliance, the most affected and affected are the Roland Empire and the Wizards' Guild.
Roland IX summoned Manfred, the Red Baron, who had just returned to Haxaburg, almost overnight, to inquire in detail about all the details of the battle, after which it is rumored that His Majesty Roland IX sat all night.
The next day, His Majesty the Emperor, who was a little tired, signed the word "Agree" on the notice sent by the Iron and Steel Collar that the price of all the traded items would be doubled.
As for the Wizards' Guild, during the protracted tug-of-war negotiations with the Iron Lord, the Wizards' Guild suddenly became extremely easy to speak, and they almost resisted the harsh conditions proposed by the Iron Lord, and then completely accepted it.
Therefore, the negotiations, which had been progressing slowly, have become extremely fast, and I believe that there will be a final result in a few days.
Ironically, the negotiations between the two sides were not face-to-face at all, but were conducted through a master communication crystal that had been seized from the possession of Wind Legend Perion.
After the shameless little dwarf learned that the Wizards Guild actually had such a good thing, he once again added an article to the conditions of the negotiation, and afterwards he needed the Wizards Guild to send another Master Crystal over......
The cardinal archbishop of the Temple of Light, Frieg, was a little nervous and carefully checked whether the crimson robe on his body was decent, this old man who was already not young was worried at this time, just like a hairy young man who was looking for a job interview for the first time.
It is no wonder that Cardinal Frieg was so cautious, because in the next few hours he was about to meet a great man, the great Joseph XVI, the pope of the Temple of Light.
With the dedication of a qualified body that can make the inquisitor succeed, and the long-legged chick Naya, Frigg finally rose to the next level and became the cardinal archbishop, a major figure in the Temple of Light.
However, among the seven cardinal archbishops of the Cardinal, Frieg was undoubtedly the least qualified, so such an honorable event as a solitary audience with His Holiness was simply unprecedented for him.
For Frieg, who is looking forward to going further in the Temple of Light and even has the honor of sitting in the position of chief cardinal, today is an extremely important opportunity for him to make a good impression on His Majesty Joseph XVI no matter what.
The heavy door in front of him was finally slowly opened, and then a chamberlain of His Majesty the Pope came out of it and said to Freeman, who had been waiting for a long time: "Your Excellency Freeman, His Majesty the Pope, please come in. ”
Cardinal Frigg quickly stuffed a piece of crystalline high-grade magic crystal into the hand of the chamberlain, and asked in a low voice, "How is the mood of the Pope's crown today?"
After looking at the magic crystal in his hand very covertly, the chamberlain showed a satisfied smile, and then reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty's mood is a little bad today, please be careful, all Your Excellency." ”
After receiving the answer from the chamberlain, Freeman's heart became more and more nervous, but he still had to push open the door and walk in.
Pope Joseph XVI's office was not as splendid as Frigg had imagined, but this was only a façade, and every item in this spacious office was undoubtedly carefully arranged, and of course the things that could be fortunate enough to be placed here were treasures with rich heritage.
On the surface, it may not be very eye-catching, but a closer look can reveal that even the offices of His Majesty the Emperors of the major countries are difficult to match here.
"Good day, Your Majesty the great Joseph XVI, greetings to Frigg. Frigg bowed to the expressionless Pope sitting in a single chair from the Elven Empire.
"Yes, please sit down and talk. Joseph XVI replied lightly.
Then, as soon as Frieg's ass touched the bench, Joseph XVI asked him a surprising question: "That little dwarf lord of the Orc Empire's Iron Lord, do you know about him, do you know him?"
