readx; It's a long story, but to sum it up, that's what it is. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Lich King and the Skeleton King are the lords of the two adjacent lands, and neither of them looks down on each other, and they belong to a relationship of old age and death.

In addition, there are some good Warcraft and Demon Clans in the middle of the two sides all year round, and gradually this land has become a zone that neither side wants to manage.

And this city was built on this middle ground, after all, the strength of those gray dwarves outside was still too weak to form a force in the demon world, so naturally they didn't have their own land.

Living in this three-way zone, gray dwarves and humans are still living a relatively nourishing life. Although the gray dwarves do not have the strength to compete with other forces, they are still able to deal with those demonic beasts and demons that occasionally come running.

However, not long ago, a tall tower appeared out of thin air in this area.

According to the news from above, this tower was built by the Demon King himself, and was named the 'Tower of Miracles' by the Demon King, and there are only a few in the entire Demon Realm.

This tower is also known as the 'glory of the king'. It is said that if you stay in this tower all year round, you will greatly increase your strength, and when your strength reaches a certain level, you will be summoned by the Demon King.

Upon hearing the news, the trivial area became lively, with both the Lich King and the Skeleton King trying to take ownership of the tower. After all, both of them are the existence of the peak of the marquis, and they are only one step away from becoming dukes.

Duke, that's a duke, even in the demon realm where the strong are like clouds, he can become a hegemon.

Of course, the gray dwarf also wants to intervene, but he has the heart, but he doesn't have the strength!

In the entire tribe, only the gray dwarf patriarch is a marquis-level powerhouse, or has he just been promoted, and compared with the two sides who have more than a dozen marquis-level powerhouses, it is really powerless.

Moreover, even if you want to make sure that you are not affected by the battle between the two sides. It's a big problem, after all, they happen to be in this location, and the tower is only a dozen kilometers away from here.

While grey dwarves can migrate, humans here cannot. In the end, the gray dwarf did not choose to leave alone. Instead, they stayed and held on with humanity.

From this point of view, the Grey Dwarf race is indeed a good ally.

Of course, the gray dwarves did not choose to defend blindly, and stupidly waited for the Lich King and the Skeleton King to start a battle in front of their own door, so that the rear could be passively defended.

They chose to strengthen the defenses of their own side of the station. Bribe the Lich King and Skeletron to try not to go to war on their doorstep.

Since it was a bribe, of course, it was necessary to come up with something substantial, but neither the humans nor the gray dwarves in this city could come up with anything of value. Helplessly, they could only choose to bribe with the most widely circulated thing in the demon world, crystals.

The crystal mentioned in the demon world is of course not a decorative crystal like the human world, and the crystal mentioned here is a solid crystal containing energy. This kind of crystal is almost the same as the money in the human world. In the Demon Realm, it is a hard currency.

Of course, bribery with such ordinary things can only be won by volume. Fortifying the station's defense also consumes a large amount of crystals, which means that they need to gather a large number of crystals in a short period of time.

Thankfully, to the east of the city, there is a large vein of crystals. The city's mana consumption has always relied on this vein to support it.

However, the crystals mined in the city over the years, except for some left for their own use, the rest were handed over to the gray dwarves to exchange for other items. Therefore, there is not much storage of crystals in the city, and now crystals are used, so they can only be mined temporarily.

And this meeting said so much, in fact, it was to discuss the matter of mining crystals. After all. The mining of crystals is handled by humans.

This is also something that Omia does not understand, don't they all say that the dwarves are the race that likes to mine minerals the most?

"To get together so many crystals in three days, at the current mining speed. There is absolutely no way to do it. So, I'd like to ask for your opinions. ”

He said that he was asking for everyone's opinion, but as soon as the man sitting in the main seat said this, he turned his eyes to the fat man. Obviously, this is to get him to take the call.

"I think we can recruit some more men in the prime of life to mine, and we can extend the hours of absenteeism, after all, it's only three days, just stick to those three days. The fat man took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a low, insignificant voice.

"No, mining and building tunnels must be gradual, even if there are many people, you can't speed up much progress, not to mention that the recruits are all novices." And to raise such a large amount of crystals, it must be dug into the depths of the ore vein, which has not yet been explored, and the safety of the miners cannot be guaranteed. ”

"Since we can't build a mine, let's not build it yet! It's only three days, there shouldn't be any problems, if we recruit more miners, maybe it can be done in two days. ”

"It's not a matter of time, you're simply not responsible for the lives of the miners. There shouldn't be a problem, so what if something goes wrong. ”

"What can I do, at most, a few people will die, compared to tens of thousands of people in this city, a few people will not be a big deal. ”

The fat man said this lightly, as if human life was a mere number in his eyes.

Hearing this, anger filled Amiya's chest, he took a deep breath, resisted the urge to beat the fat man, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and said, "Do you have to give them crystals? Not to mention whether you can mine so many crystals on time, even if they do, the Lich King and the Skeleton King will definitely like it?"

"You ......" The fat man wanted to scold the person who spoke out angrily, but when he saw that the person who spoke out was Emiya, he looked at Mad, who was sitting calmly next to Emiya, and could only suppress the anger in his voice, "Didn't you say it? Now we can't get anything precious on our side and the gray dwarf, so we can only try the crystal." Whether it works or not, you can only try it first. ”

"Then if I can come up with something that satisfies both sides, won't I have to mine so many crystals?"

"Of course, if you can get it. ”

The fat man glanced at him with some contempt, even Madder couldn't take it out, how could a person who had just become a wizard's apprentice get such a precious thing.

"Well, give me half a day, and in half a day, I can come up with two things that will satisfy both parties. ”

Emia stretched out two fingers and looked at the man sitting in the first place, he knew that the right to decide was in the hands of this man. (To be continued.) )
