Chapter 517: The Solution
Li Momo rubbed his chin, a little unexpectedly for this result.
The first thing I didn't expect was that Xue Rui actually found iron ore nearby, and it was an iron ore with good reserves. With the current demand for iron ore in the Twilight Hills, this iron ore is becoming more and more valuable.
The second thing I didn't expect was that this iron mine was actually on the territory of Monet City. Although it is close to the side of Twilight Hills, it does not hide the fact that the iron ore belongs to someone.
"Monet City has not found that there is an iron mine near it for so many years?" Li Mo asked with some incredulity: "In Monet City, there are still many canine clans, right?"
The dog-heads, commonly known as kobolds, have a good sense of smell, keen observation and great perseverance, and can detect iron mines hidden underground, uncover animals that try to attack their property, and domesticate docile livestock.
These are instincts from the depths of their souls.
And in Monet City, there is also the race of canines. Moreover, the Canine Clan is still a large tribe with a large number in Monet City.
"I don't know why. However, Charles had just told me about a possibility. Will was also puzzled by Li Mo's question. After thinking about it, he still said Charles's guess.
"The city of Monet was not founded very long, it was founded about a hundred years ago by a few weak tribes. And the land on which they built the city was asked by Victoria for them. ”
"You know, although there is a lot of unowned land on the barren plains, and other people have no experience and no need to occupy it, if someone wants to put these lands into their own pockets, there will still be great resistance. ”
"The founder of Monet City was originally the product of some weak tribes that allowed themselves to have the ability to protect themselves, so as to huddle together for warmth. The other tribes, on the other hand, naturally do not want to see a new force rise around them. So, they searched for a long time, but they couldn't find a place to stay, and eventually, Victoria spoke, and they were able to establish their own city near Twilight Hills. In this way, in fact, Victoria and Twilight Hills have the grace to recreate Monet. ”
"Because of this, they gave up the iron ore around them, and watched a financial resource be wasted in vain?" Li Mo was a little incredulous: "Even if you are grateful to Twilight Hills, you can develop it with Twilight Hills." ”
"I think it's actually possible because Monet didn't even look here. Will expressed his guess: "It took a long time for them to find the exact location of the iron mine. Perhaps, Monet City has not explored this direction at all, you know, the previous Twilight Hills, did not like strangers to get too close, they even allowed the merchant group to approach at a certain time. ”
"Well, that's a possibility, too. Li Mo nodded, acknowledging that Will's statement made sense. After all, everyone knows that the blood race is a righteous race, and it is also a race that no one should enter.
Of course, the current Li Mo will not look at it like this. For the friends he admits, the blood clan is still very hospitable. However, for the Blood Clan, Monet City may not be a friend of this kind.
In fact, before meeting Li Mo, any race other than the blood clan was not such a race. In order to fulfill their mission, they are very cautious about contact with all other aliens, for fear of accidentally revealing some secrets.
"Now that the problem is in front of us, how can we mine this iron ore?" Li Mo began to think of a solution to the problem.
Simply letting Monet mine the iron ore and then buy it will definitely not work. Even for the sake of Twilight Hills' face, Monet City supplied iron ore to Twilight Hills at a preferential price, and Li Mo would not agree.
Business is business, either don't do it or be fair. Otherwise, a transaction made in an unfair situation will sooner or later wipe out the affection between the two parties.
So, to buy land with Monet, in what name? Li Mo may have used some simple and crude means, or used some intrigue before, but now, after hearing about the cause and effect between Monet and Twilight Hills, Li Mo gave up such an idea.
The foundation laid by Victoria, and it is better not to destroy it so easily.
After thinking about it, Li Mo still didn't think of any suitable way to solve such a problem.
"Forget it, let's go straight to Monet City and see what they think. In the end, Li Mo scratched his head and made such a decision.
After meeting the controller of Monet City, he revealed the existence of iron ore and saw what they thought.
The conditions are set by them, and if it is suitable, they will agree to it. But if they open their mouths, then don't blame yourself for being rude.
After all, at that time, it was you who took the morals.
With this in mind, the next day, when the sun was just rising, Li Mo rode out of the Twilight Hills on Wappus, preparing to go to Monet City to negotiate.
With Li Mo, in addition to Will and Victoria, there are also Anna and Cherry.
Will is the current magistrate of Twilight Hills, and even Victoria is less familiar with everything in Twilight Hills. And the reason for bringing Victoria is even more needless to say, after all, it is Victoria who has a friendship with Monet.
And bringing Anna is naturally not because she is Li Mo's girlfriend. The main thing is because of Anna's wisdom. Resourceful enough to take on the role of a military in Twilight Hills, her experience in the royal family and her own intelligence allow her to spot things that others overlook.
The reason for bringing Xue Rui is even simpler, this iron ore was discovered by him, and Xue Rui's identity as a dog naturally makes Li Mo's trip more convincing.
Moreover, Xue Rui and the kobolds in Monet City are of the same race, which may increase their intimacy with Li Mo and his party.
This unexpected iron mine is too important for Li Mo, and it can be said that it can solve the most important kind of war preparation materials in Twilight Hills. Let Li Mo get rid of the situation that raw materials are controlled by others in advance.
Therefore, Li Mo didn't want to make any mistakes in this, so he thought of all the factors that could be taken into account.
Now, it's up to the people of Monet to say. [.]
