"Daddy, who is this man named Moseley?" Seeing Picole leave the room, Bunian couldn't help but grimace at him while asking a question.

Although earlier he had already gotten a general impression of Moseley from Albert and Hingey's accounts, he felt it was necessary to see Hood's attitude towards Moseley.

"Oh, a lot of things have happened during your absence. Duke Mitulin's wife, Winnie, originally wanted to negotiate a cooperation between the Terrans and the Dwarves, but died on the way back to Kanmei Stone Road, although it was no longer a dwarven settlement, but it still belonged to the dwarven realm. So, the Terrans pointed the finger at us Dwarves. Our trade with the Terrans has been severely affected.

"Dwarves are no better than other races, although the climate of the Kanmei Hills is suitable, but the dwarves are not good at things other than handicraft, not even whether they can achieve self-sufficiency in food, let alone other living goods. So after Lady Winnie's death, the Terrans and the Dwarves were at an impasse, and the normal life of the Dwarves collapsed. So, I had to find someone who could help the dwarves get that balance back together. ”

"Is that Moseley?" asked Bunian.

Hood nodded, acknowledging what Bunian had said.

"But, now that I've pulled Rezer over, won't I be able to solve this matter perfectly?" asked Bunian.

"Yes, it can be solved perfectly, but there are two unavoidable problems between us and Razor, or rather, Duke Mitulin. Hood frowned.

"What's the problem?" asked Bunian.

"First, if there is no way to explain Lady Winnie's death, it is impossible for us to open negotiations with them. Hood sighed.

"Can't you investigate it clearly, and if you really want to investigate, there shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Bunian was well aware of the importance of this matter, and the fundamental reason why "Razor" accompanied him to Bilmer was to solve the mystery of Lady Winnie's death. If the prisoner can be handed over, in the words of "Razor", it is easy to talk about anything, anything. So, when Hood brought it up, Bunyan was particularly concerned. However, Hood sighed and shook his head helplessly, and Bunian's heart suddenly became cold.

"I can't find it, I really can't find a clue. Because there were no survivors at all, let alone eyewitnesses. If I could, I would also like to renew trade cooperation with Mitulin, but if there is no way to explain the cause of Lady Winnie's death, we will be the disadvantage even if the trade contract is re-signed. Hood said.

After stopping Hood's words, Bunian also knew Hood's difficulties, and indeed, there was no way to cooperate with Miturin in this situation.

"And what is the reason for that?" asked Bunian.

"The five-year operation of the Urus Mountains is in Moseley's hands. We don't have the capital to negotiate with Mitulin right now. Hood also looked a little remorseful.

Bunian had heard Albert and Singh talk about this before, and he already had an urge to get angry at that time, and now that Hood himself had mentioned it, Bunian still felt a cloud of anger in his heart.

"Why is the management of the Urus Mountains in Moseley's hands?" questioned Bunian aloud.

Hood thought that Bunian was just an ordinary inquiry, so he said, "The conditions given by Morris are too generous, I ...... I can't resist it at all. ”

"What conditions?" Bunian had heard of Moseley's conditions for the dwarves for the first time.

"Two million gold coins. ”

"What? two million gold coins?"

Bunian exclaimed in surprise, the price was too high. 400,000 a year, it is impossible for the dwarves to earn so much money, and besides, this is only the right to operate the Urus Mountains. The dwarves also have other income, such as the sale of finished or semi-finished weapons and other tools, of course, since the management rights of the mine belong to Moseley, the price of the items minted by the dwarves will rise, and eventually the income will decrease, but in general, the income of the dwarves will still increase.

This business is a sure profit for the dwarves, so even Bunyan himself, in the face of such a temptation, may choose to cooperate with Moseley.

"Then why would Elder Godwin and Elder Hoyt stop them?" asked Bunian.

"Did you hear something?" Hood's face darkened, and his teeth gurgled as well.

"Why did you answer me first?" Bunian asked, still insisting.

"Is it Albert and Hingi? those two bastards, I'm going to have to clean them up sooner or later. ”

"Are you still afraid of what others will say?" asked Bunian rhetorically.

"Of course I'm not afraid of what people say, because it's all their own fault!If they can make their lives better, why don't I agree?What's the use of holding that big mountain range?Can I make my people live better?They only know to stop me, and they don't even think about standing in my position!" Hood almost shouted.

Bunyan was about to retort to Hood when Picole walked into the courtyard, followed by a very fat man who looked very similar to the man he had seen that night, and it was probably Moseley.

Mosley held a rectangular golden box, and when he walked, his fat body swayed from side to side, like a bear, and his dense hair and black clothes made him look a little like a bear.

"Moseley must have two hundred kilograms, right?" Bunyan was speechless in surprise as he looked at Mosley, who was gradually walking towards him.

"See the patriarch. ”

Moseley entered the room, got down on one knee, and handed the golden box to Hood with both hands.

"When you come back in the future, don't take anything more. You see, I won't be able to use these things even if I bring them. ”

"Patriarch, this thing is not ordinary. Moseley narrowed his eyes, "This thing is a very precious medicinal material, called the nine-knot snake, which is said to grow every ten years, and after taking it, it has the effect of prolonging life." ”

"Oh, you're always like this, I'm really embarrassed, I'm willing to take anything. Hood laughed, took the box with both hands, and placed it on the table.

Bunian pursed his lips, not believing that this thing was as evil as Moseley had claimed. So I secretly opened the box.

In the long box, a thin red snake half a meter long was fastened inside, and the snake body had eight nodes as Morris said. It had a large mouth, and the bright red snake letter spat out, swaying from side to side from time to time.

Bunyan was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the box.

"What's wrong?" Hood frowned at the sound of Bunian's movement.

"Snake ...... is alive. Bunian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Bunian was not afraid of snakes, but he thought it was a dead snake, but he didn't expect it to be alive. Bunian, who was not mentally prepared at all, was really frightened by the nine-section snake.

"Haha, blame me, blame me, didn't tell you in advance. Because if it was a dead snake, its effectiveness would be greatly reduced, so I had to put a live snake in it. I didn't expect it to scare you. If I'm not mistaken, you should be a young patriarch, right?"

Moseley's eyes narrowed, but Bunian felt a little uneasy in his heart. (To be continued.) )
