"Well said, well said," Adam agreed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Levi then invited Adam and the others into the pygmy territory.

Along the way, Adam looked around.

After entering, I found that although the Schott Gnomes looked poorer than Blackstone Town, they looked very neat overall.

The intricacies of the stone houses and the ubiquitous stone tools staggered Adam as a race of technological magic. Adam even saw things like cranes and pulleys.

The group followed Levi to a stone house, which was supposed to be Levi's home.

Livai asked Adam and the others to sit down, and sincerely apologized for the recent attack on the miners in Blackstone, and then Adam expressed his understanding.

The two then had a pleasant conversation, with Livi praising Adam's mercy and Blackstone's force. Adam reciprocated, saying that he admired the modesty of the Schott dwarfs, which was very different from the cunning and despicable image in the eyes of ordinary humans.

Just when the two were talking amicably and having fun. In Maurice's stone house, Maurice sat alone on a stone bed, stroking his bandaged hands.

Morris had a vicious look in his eyes, and he secretly hated Adam and Allen in his heart, but he had no choice but to have his father's kindness to this group of humans, and poor Morris could only grit his teeth secretly in his own house.

Livi's house.

Adam and Levi had entered properly, and both were very satisfied. Levi inquired about some basic conditions in Blackstone, and suggested that he wanted some commercial activities between the two places. Adam also coveted the tools produced by the Schott Gnomes, and learned through negotiations that the Schott Gnomes still had some technological and magical designs of their ancestors, and there was no problem with the skills, only the raw materials were missing.

Adam's heart moved, and asked Levay if the obsidian ore could be used to make technological magic items, and Levay said that the race migrated here because obsidian ore is one of the main materials for building technological magic, and can make most of the technological magic items.

It's just that there is no Warcraft crystal nucleus and excavation technology, so this matter has been delayed.

Adam had some realization, and after a heated discussion, they reached an agreement, and the result of the discussion was:

The two sides reached a state of peaceful association, watched and helped each other, lived amicably with each other, and reached a non-aggression treaty. Levi was wary of Adam's hundred-man warrior regiment, and Adam was also concerned about the large number of gnomes and the innate advantage of being underground, and a stalemate would not be beneficial to either side.

In return, Blackstone will sell some of its grain to the Short Gnomes, who will provide some of the usual toolmaking and craftsmen who will go to the ground to help Blackstone build fortifications such as fortifications.

Adam also coveted the Short gnomes' tech magic items, and offered to help make and trade them, but Levi politely declined on the grounds that they could not be made at the moment, saying that they would talk about cooperation when the tech magic items could be made.

Adam expressed regret. Although the content of the agreement is short, it is also the most suitable agreement for both parties to get along with each other at the moment. Both Adam and Levi were satisfied. Adam then instructed Eston and Alan to prepare for their journey.

Levi and the eldest prince Colby got up to see Adam and the others, and after agreeing on the exchange of supplies, they took their leave.

After the negotiation, Adam pondered all the way, he didn't believe what Levi said that there was no excavation technology to provide them with the ability to dig obsidian, after all, according to their statement, they came to this place ten years ago, and the geographical location was more advantageous than that of Blackstone Town, just next to the obsidian mine, and how could the inheritance race of technology and magic be stumped by a small mining technology?

However, it may be true that there is no source of Warcraft crystal nuclei, and Adam observed along the way that the Schott gnomes did not exist as a team of warriors, so there was no talk of hunting Warcraft to obtain crystal nuclei.

And according to the eldest prince Colby, since coming here, the Shortt gnomes have been fighting with the kobolds in the vicinity for territory and food, and have lost a lot of men over the years.

Frank wondered what their usual food was, and whether it was possible to grow food underground? Colby smiled wryly and showed Adam the daily food of the Shortt gnomes, a kind of black algae that was a specialty of the earth, bitter and dry, barely enough to satisfy hunger.

And black algae cannot be cultivated artificially, and the location of the appearance is in the middle of the territory of the Schott dwarfs and kobolds, and there are not many of them, no wonder the two often fight to grab the black algae.

This makes sense, the Short people have always been troubled by the problem of food, for so many years, they have struggled to survive every day, and it would be good to be able to barely preserve the inheritance of their ancestors, not to mention to realize the glory of their ancestors, when their stomachs are not full, who has the heart to care about those ghost-like drawings?

Colby also told Adam that many young people of the Schott dwarf generation have a grudge against learning the technological magic of their ancestors, and that it is a waste of time to learn the technology that cannot fill their stomachs.

Adam thought about it along the way, and decided that the trading volume with the Schott gnomes should be strictly controlled, and too much food could not be allowed to flow into the Schott gnomes, after all, they were not their own people, if they were full and researched technological magic, they might turn around and target the people of Blackstone Town.

On the way, Adam also made a point to ask Eston about the grain in Blackstone, it was almost the end of the season, and it should be time to harvest the tricolor fruit. According to Eston's report, the growth of the tricolor fruit is very good! In the past two days, Sophia has been arranging for the people in the town to harvest.

Adam nodded, and the group came to the ground. At this time, the sky outside was already slightly dark, and it was almost dark.

After Adam and his party came out, the people above all let go of their hearts that had been hanging. The lord has finally come out.

Adam saw Sophia right in the crowd and beckoned Sophia over. By the way, Eston and Allen will dismiss the crowd and prepare to communicate with the Short gnomes tomorrow.

Between the two territories, and they are also different races, a communication is definitely not possible, to establish a long-term diplomatic relationship, so it is necessary for Eston and Sophia to go down tomorrow, Adam arranged for Alan to protect the two, to discuss the first batch of grain and dwarf tools to trade time and goods.

As for the Obsidian Mine, both Livay and Adam had been avoiding the question, and while obsidian was a necessity for crafting technological magical items, the Short Gnomes also had their own mining channels, and Adam knew this very well in his heart. So the two didn't put the obsidian ore on the list of items traded.

Although Adam has always insisted that the obsidian mines are the private property of Blackstone, and Livai agrees on this issue, this is enough, there is no need to hold on to a suspicious point, it is good for both parties. Anyway, the obsidian mine can't be hollowed out in the short term, and Adam naturally turns a blind eye and doesn't know.
