Chapter 173: Trading

Twenty years ago, the mountain dwarves of the Stormwind Mountains dug down and discovered the dark regions, and wars broke out with various dungeons over mineral resources. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Since the two sides came from different regions, even the dark elves shrouded in the light of the spider goddess gave up their hatred of each other and formed a huge coalition to wage war against the mountain dwarves.

The scale of this battle even alarmed the lower layers of the Dark Regions, and some members of the terrible Mind Flayer and Dilo Dwarves participated. After several battles, the natives who had the advantage of the location were victorious, and took advantage of the victory to pursue and conquer the kingdom of Stormwind, which had been established by the mountain dwarves.

The Dark Elves have carved up the dwarven artisans, almost emptying the treasury that the mountain dwarves have accumulated over hundreds of years. Unfortunately, the amount of wealth is too staggering, and before they have returned to their respective territories, the dark elves have become selfish and infighting according to their nature, and the coalition forces have completely disappeared, and the dark regions have returned to the situation of competing for hegemony again.

As for the Seven Cities Alliance, which had ordinary power at that time and was fighting on the surface of the dark region, it took advantage of the chaos to kidnap a large number of dwarven women and children, and used this as a foundation to rapidly increase their respective strengths.

The underground gnomes also received a portion of the dwarven slaves, but instead of enslaving, they gave the broken mountain dwarves a portion of their freedom in exchange for their loyalty.

It has to be said that this is a very good idea, the master who made this decision, Alves Benninger, was given the title of Visionary by the city of Svernebry, after all, he is not only a powerful leader, but also a rare prophetic mage.

The underground gnomes and mountain dwarves thus mixed together, pushing Svernebri City into the fast lane of rapid development, and its status gradually surpassed other allies from the original ranking at the bottom of the Seven Cities Alliance, becoming the second dungeon city after Palladium.

"After twenty years, the mountain dwarves are gradually recovering and preparing to save their people from the dungeons of the Dark Regions. ”

The joint meeting of the masters of Svernebry is still going on, and they are encouraged by the clever strategy of the war outside, but the next issue is a little out of control.

Refusal to return the dwarven craftsmen occupies the mainstream, after all, the orders accepted by the underground gnomes have long been scheduled until the second half of next year, and all the dwarves will be returned, can the underground gnomes with thin arms and legs still wield a hammer?

Later, the centrist master Zook Beningel, who was secretly dominating the situation, racked his brains in order to break the situation, and even opened the secret instructions left by the visionary Alves, and then stood up with satisfaction and drew a very delicious pie with his own hands, which was shown to all the masters present.

"Whether it's a giant tree man who overturned a steam chariot or a large number of bugs, even in the Mage Council, only a handful of people can do it, and they are qualified to open up and build their own city. Therefore, I propose to reconcile with this human spellcaster with the support of the mountain dwarves behind him, and help him gain a foothold in the Dark Regions......"

"Of course, it's too difficult to start from scratch, it's better to have a foundation, such as Bretton Rock City, which fell under the dark elf army, although it is only a ruin now, a little cleaning up is definitely the foundation of the king's great cause. ”

When Zouk Benninger first began to speak, the masters present were unimpressed, but when he spoke later, the elves of the underground gnomes immediately understood his intentions.

"It's a good idea to rebuild Breton Rocks. Funded and sponsored by us, let the unfathomable power of human spellcasters rebuild our homes for us. Oh...... I don't know what my hometown has become now. ”

Grim Belen's words immediately struck a chord with all the masters present, who had lived through those glorious years and were now brought back to tears when they were brought back to that time.

In its heyday, Breton Rock City, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the surface and away from the chaos of the dark region, survived and multiplied completely self-sufficiently, blooming a splendid flower of civilization, which can be called the pearl of the dark region.

Unfortunately, such a quiet and peaceful life was not tolerated by the dark elves who admired killing and chaos, and after a deliberately designed defection, the army of the dark elves forcibly "entered" the city of Breton Rock under the banner of searching for their people, and the blood of the stubbornly resisting royal family was broken.

The underground gnomes have no choice but to flee, learning from their experiences of blood and tears, and with the support of the Mage Council, they have transformed into the strongest arms dealers on the surface of the Shadows.

Another grim fact is that with the rapid development of Svernebry in the last decade or so, especially in order to expand the ethnic group, the population has exploded. Excavation of large caves has become an inevitable choice, but unfortunately the naturally formed caves are exhausted and can only be manufactured out of thin air, so the amount of work is too large, which not only affects daily life, but also involves a large number of valuable labor.

It has to be said that restarting the home and resurrecting Breton Rock City has become an optimal way to find a different way.

The name of returning to the homeland can tempt some people, even the master who looks like a human spirit, after all, it is too close to the city of Palladian and is easily affected by the interference of the Mage Council, especially by the blood sucking and shearing sheep by non-secret means, and the underground gnomes are deeply affected by economic exploitation.

Perhaps after the distance is shortened, security will be guaranteed multiple times, and the joint council of masters of the underground gnomes will be able to maintain more autonomy.

For such a complicated reason, even Grim Belen, who maintained close ties with the Council of Mages, was mostly in favor of it, otherwise he would not have stepped forward immediately to help the neutral master Zuk Benninger stand on the platform.

Later, the war stopped and cooled, and the underground dwarf and Lu Bin each sent spokesmen to repeatedly test and contact, under the premise that cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and the divider is harmful, Lu Bin pondered for a long time and agreed to the conditions of the underground dwarf.

The dwarven artisans of Svernebry, including their families, numbered more than 5,000 people, and their obvious inclination towards underground gnomes became an important weight in this negotiation.

After the dwarven elder Hardin Copperbeard learned of the situation, in order to obtain Lu Bin's approval, he swore in the name of the soul forger Moradin and signed a series of cooperation treaties with the "Mage Rez" that had not yet been shadowed.

Among them, the secret inheritance of the rune blacksmith was also used as a bargaining chip by Hardin Copperbeard, not to mention the recipe for several weapon alloys unique to the alpine dwarves in his possession, which he sold to Lu Bin for a price, just to get his consent.

Lu Bin squeezed enough benefits from the dwarf elders and the underground gnomes, and then nodded and acquiesced in the deal, for which he revealed the secret that he owned the half-plane to store various materials, and the masters of the underground gnomes were much more relaxed.

The intact hostages and the roughly intact steam chariot were all returned by Lu Bin as a show of goodwill.

As for the surface of the underground gnomes, they suffered a big loss, and more than a hundred dwarven warriors captured the outer defense line, and maybe it will become a joke of the Seven Cities Alliance in the near future. In essence, they retreated into advances, not only dissolving the enemy into friends, but also initiating a plan to return to their homeland, which is more clever than the Mage Council that uses Lu Bin as a knife to cut off the hidden dangers in the city of Paradium.

Later, the dwarven warriors doubled their huge lineup, and advanced towards Bretton Rock City in a long snake formation of ten people, and Lu Bin, who was in charge of the broken end, counted his harvest, a large bag of underground dwarf friendship testimony - gem ore.

"Cunning! If it was a cut gem, maybe the deal would be more cost-effective, but unfortunately they were too cautious and chose to use the rough ore to fool the unsavvy. ”

Oric Tyrese didn't know when he appeared by Lu Bin's side, and he knew everything about the tricks of the underground gnomes, and quickly pointed out the deceit.

Lu Bin shook his head slightly: "These are the start-up funds sponsored to me by the underground gnomes, after all, Bretton Rock City is the territory of the alpine dwarves, and the pioneer territory I established near the Storm Mountain Range was opened up in the name of the Wilde family." If it's a finely crafted gem, this staggering wealth is difficult to explain, and the underground black market that circulates to the North can cause unnecessary trouble. It's much better just for the rough stones, I have a hundred methods, or excuses to cover up the past, such as the loot of the dark region, whoever will be blushing will let him come for a trip!"

Nina Wild, who has been silent since entering the dark region, couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard Lu Bin's words, and today, "Lord Rez" finally gave a clear answer, believing that the day of the revival of the Wild family is not far off.

When Orik Tyrese saw the aristocratic girl beside his friend, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, remembering her identity and not wanting to ruin her dream.

"Rez, my friend, if you want to apply for the establishment of a pioneer territory, this territory that has not yet taken shape, I am willing to contribute money and efforts to help you win the pioneer order, and the only exchange condition is to become the founder with the right to speak. ”

Lu Bin knew for a long time that the blonde boy with good combat power was not small, and he couldn't imagine that his heart would become like this, and now he clearly values his own potential, and wants to take a share of the pioneer led by him in the future.

"Shall I promise him?"

Lu Bin fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons repeatedly in his heart, remembering that he was just a passerby after all, and that the establishment of the pioneer domain was just to obtain resources, to evoke more high-level cards in the depths of the Buried Bones, and in the process of establishing the territory, he accumulated and perfected his rough spell casting system.

"I'm a time-traveler after all!"

Thinking of this, Lu Bin looked sideways at Oric Tyrese and gently bowed his forehead: "Yes!"

After receiving a clear answer, the blonde boy's face was indifferent, as if the promise just now was nothing, in fact, his heart was already filled with joy.

After a long journey of more than ten hours, under the guidance of a certain master of the underground dwarfs, Lu Bin led the doubling of the dwarf warriors and the few directly subordinate summoned creatures to the ruins of Bretton Rock City.

The number of marsh bears, dormant monsters, and dreadclaw monsters that are cut off along the way is calculated in the dozen, either as food rations for the dwarven warriors or as their experience.

Of course, bloodshed and casualties are inevitable, and Lu Bin's marching tent is not omnipotent, if it weren't for the promise that the dwarven warriors would be in peace after death, there would definitely be a lot more stocky warhammer skeletons in the burial place.
