Chapter 179: Circulation
The dark elf, whose stomach was pierced by a sword, had no choice but to take out all his savings, including the debt of New Breton Rock City on his books, and buy a potion to heal moderate injuries at a high price. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Fortunately, this elf-style short sword was not smeared with poison, otherwise the injured dark elf would have to spend half a life if he didn't die, and his friends kept comforting him, and he could earn it again when the money was used up, and he only had one life, so he couldn't throw it lightly.
Seriously, Lu Bin appreciates this sentence very much, for the male who defected from the dark elf city, his value is reflected in the understanding of his own race.
Lu Bin has a hundred questions about the dark elves, but unfortunately now is really not a good time, arrange for them to rest in the newly built stone chamber room, and have to communicate and coordinate with many parties in order to evenly distribute the share that originally belonged to the dwarven craftsmen.
Harding Copperbeard knew the magic of the "marching tent", and took advantage of this opportunity to inquire about the news several times, but before Lu Bin could say anything, Oric Tyrese glared at the dwarven elder fiercely.
"This kind of strange object with folding space and can hide many people, presumably the price of using it is not ordinarily high. It's just that we followed His Excellency Rez here to slowly rebuild the huge ruins into new life, spilling more than just the sweat of hard work, and we hope to have enough rest. ā
Lu Bin knew that the miraculous effect of the "marching tent" could not hide from the clever Hardin Copperbeard, and for the sake of the non-stop work of the dwarven craftsmen, it was okay to take it out of the book of the traveling mage and give it to them to use. It's just laziness in human nature, and the benefits that are too easy to get hold don't know how to cherish, so Lu Bin wants to use the "marching tent" as a condition for some exchanges.
"If you want to get into the tent to rest, it's no problem at all. It's just that in this way, all the stone chambers allocated to the dwarven craftsmen will have to be vacated and I will be in charge of them personally, and no one will have an opinion, how about this condition?"
Harding Copperbeard's heart suddenly tightened, the stone chambers were all close to the sewers that had been restored after dredging, and the location advantage was very obvious, if all of them were taken away by "Lord Rez", the clansmen behind him would definitely make a lot of noise about it, especially the craftsmen from the city of Svernebri who had not experienced the benefits of tents.
"Your Excellency, hearing your words, my feelings are very complicated, originally I thought that we were allies, and it was a matter of course to help each other, but I didn't expect you to put forward conditions with us, and it was such a harsh condition. ā
Lu Bin was not moved by these cheap and worthless words in the slightest, "As an ally, I have my own position. After all, you already have a foothold, and as for my territory, I haven't even laid the foundation yet. Elder Harding, I'm on the moral side, asking the allies to serve you wholeheartedly, and will anyone support you if you speak out?"
After hearing this, the dwarf elder immediately lowered his head and did not say a word, feeling that he was indeed a little excessive, and racked his brains to think: "Let's each take a step back, and if we are willing to hand over the ownership of the stone chamber room assigned to us, we will be eligible to enter the tent to rest." Your Excellency, what do you think of this condition?"
Lu Bin knew very well that there were only about half of the people who were willing to do this, but his purpose was not so shallow, and determining the true relationship with the "dwarf" group was what he wanted the most. As for the ownership of the stone room room, those meager incomes, Lu Bin couldn't look down on them at all.
"Deal!" Lu Bin finished speaking, and immediately saw Harding Copperbeard quickly stretch out his hand, and this urgent attitude immediately exposed the other party's true position.
Lu Bin got an equal or even slightly stronger position, so he didn't embarrass this dwarf elder who had known him for a long time, and shook hands vigorously to reassure him.
Later, Lu Bin opened the book of the brigade mage and summoned the "marching tent" from the material storage place belonging to the "Elven Waste Capital Elundelle".
Hardin Copperbeard immediately went to the nearby stone chamber room to spread the good news, and many dwarven craftsmen who had tasted the sweetness were woken up from their sleep in a daze, and their faces were very bad, but when they heard that they could enter the "marching tent" to rest, their cloudy eyes and bones turned, and they immediately regained their dwarven shrewdness.
There was no need to weigh the pros and cons repeatedly, and more than half of the dwarven craftsmen were willing to give up the stone chamber room assigned to them and rush into the "marching tent".
As Lu Bin expected, the dwarf from Svernebri City did not have this enthusiasm, and turned over and continued to sleep on the inner wall, missing this hard-won benefit.
Harding Brass beckoned his compatriots into the "marching tent", and he was very satisfied with the spaciousness of the space, and he followed Lu Bin's instructions to lower the curtain of the tent, and the noise outside was completely isolated, as if there were two worlds.
The air was filled with the scent of pumpkin-scented bread, slightly burnt with the smell of wine, and it was a sleep-inducing fragrance, and the dwarven elders saw their people looking for beds nearby, and fell asleep, struggling to get up and adjust the brightness of the light source of the load-bearing pillar, even though he was also exhausted.
After settling half of the dwarven craftsmen, Lu Bin successfully obtained more than 100 stone chambers, and later asked Orrick Tyrese to preside over them, and sold them to the mercenaries of the former armed caravan from Palladium City, and now the garrison of New Bretton Rock City.
Owning a house in good condition is a big attraction for anyone, but many people are not confident that they will be able to keep this reviving dungeon for a long time, so few people inquire and are interested in buying.
Lu Bin was not discouraged by this, and turned to the underground gnomes from Svernebri City to sell, and their desire to buy was much stronger, knowing that this was the "Lord Rez's" move to collect money, in order to strengthen his confidence, he was also willing to take out their own money bags.
The gold coin landed and made a tinkling sound, such an enthusiastic scene will also stimulate the enthusiasm of the garrison mercenaries, people have the psychology of conformity, seeing that everyone is scrambling, but they are left behind to watch the excitement, this is absolutely not good.
So more than a hundred sets of stone chambers were quickly sold, and Lu Bin received a pocket of gold coins, which by the way wiped out part of the debt, and tied most of the garrison mercenaries to New Bretton Rock City.
In a series of dazzling operations, Lu Bin just took out the "marching tent" to invigorate the real estate and commodity economy of New Bretton Rock City, and also boosted the morale of the garrison of the "residents" who had complicated backgrounds and spent their time in chaos.
Master Grim Belen of the Underground Gnome Aid Team is so impressed by the good intentions of "Lord Rez" that it is like opening a door to discover an incomparably vast new world.
He is also one of the insiders about the secret exploitation of the Mage Council, and he has earned a lot of benefits for himself and the family behind him through the soft knife of economic means. However, this does not mean that Master Grim Belen is willing to see his maternal underground gnomes being siphoned off by the Mage Council of Paladium City for a long time due to their geographical disadvantage, taking most of the profits of the arms trade.
Friendship with certain members of the Mage Council, this is a personal, personal matter. The underground gnomes want to get rid of the status of "second", and the protection promise given by the city of Paradian is only the first step, and the complete economic autonomy is the real place, and it does not have to be a bayonet, but the necessary retreat must be reserved.
Therefore, it is not enough to support the dwarves to gain a foothold in the fallen homeland, restore the storm kingdom of the mountain dwarves, and have human allies on the surface, these things that have no shadow now are crucial, and we must look far away to a few years, or even more than ten years later, to get a glimpse of the layout of the joint meeting of masters.
As for now, first support the young seedling of New Breton Rock City, and try to make him grow as soon as possible, but "Lord Rez", who is now dominating the situation, obviously has his own opinions.
Not long ago, Master Grim Belen witnessed the easy handling of a Dark Elf patrol without the use of a garrison mercenary. If it weren't for the uncertainties that entered the field, the outcome would have been more perfect, and of course the declaration of "Lord Rez" that he would not be coerced by hostages, although the only hostage who fell into the hands of the enemy did not suffer much damage in the end.
I don't know how many swarms there are, and even Master Grim Belen himself feels the pressure, the crypt spider with a variety of attack abilities tosses the dark elves enough, and changes positions to simulate the battle, and ordinary war machines are probably no opponents.
Repairing the breach-filled walls of Breton Rock City has become a major concern for Grim Belen, who makes friendly suggestions to "Lord Rez", and Lu Bin realizes the looming shadow of war when he destroys a dark elf patrol with his own hands, so he does not continue to insist on his claim.
As the Master of the Underground Gnomes, Grim Belen can allocate a large number of men and supplies, but out of respect for the status of "Lord Rez", his consent must be sought.
Fortunately, this is not a small project, and everyone agrees, especially the mercenaries of the garrison, who have been worried all day, and the anxious look on their faces almost shouts such as "Hurry up and repair the city wall, so that we can defend it in peace".
Lu Bin stretched out his hand to summon the "earth claw" and cut large pieces of masonry that met the specifications, this little guy was already very skilled, by feeding the jerky and the gem powder containing the elements, its size had increased a circle, and there were faint signs of promotion.
The rocks needed to repair the city wall were made directly from the wilderness outside, and by the way, a moat could be excavated.
Under the command of Master Grim Belen, the underground gnomes take out the right parts and assemble the construction machinery to dig the rocks.
Lu Bin glanced at it curiously, and was immediately attracted by the manually operated machinery, it was like a huge wine barrel, one front, two back and three legs steadily supporting the heavy body, the serrated flywheel in the left hand shone with the brilliance of gemstones, and the right hand was a steel gripper, the power system was not only driven by complex gear bearings, but also faintly there were traces of the magic circle using spiritual energy.
Underground gnomes dig for rock materials, easily like buying vegetables in the market, and they also collect all the way through in the form of sweeping.
Lu Bin nodded lightly in appreciation: "No matter how hard the rock is, you have to kneel when you encounter a diamond gear." These cunning bastards are really willing to spend money, and I really underestimate them. ā
