Solomon could only return disappointed with Regina, who could hardly give him direct support, at most some indirect help.

For example, the cost of teleportation is discounted, but this also has to be premised on the premise that you have enough troops to invest in it.

If not, this discount doesn't make much sense.

Asturias is also under great pressure right now, with two planes in an intricate relationship with other powers, as well as an uprising by the natives.

According to the news from Regina, even the Academy of Magic will be in a state of semi-suspension from next week.

Because the magicians close to the royal family and the major nobles may come to support at any time, the teaching of the school will be affected.

This inadvertently solved a difficult problem for Solomon, who was worried about how to ask for leave from the academy because of the Black Rock plane.

Originally, he figured out the Guò commercial path to resell raw materials between the two planes, and then dumped the lower planes to establish his own foundation, as long as the commercial road was built, and then Wolf was stationed as a military escort force, he didn't have to spend too much energy.

He didn't think that he would be cheated and taken to the Black Rock Plane, where the trouble required him to put in more energy and follow-up than he expected.

The college announced that during the extraordinary period, students should try to study on their own as much as possible, and the library will allow borrowing at half the usual price.

For Solomon, this saves energy to deal with the academy, and of course, if he fails to pass the examination for selecting a department at the end of the year, it will also be his own failure.

However, after being promoted to a mid-level mage, Solomon was not worried about this.

It is definitely not a big problem to pass the exam, but it is a question of what department you choose and who you can worship under when the time comes.

Before this, Solomon just used the summoning department as a springboard to advance the academy, and planned to change departments in the future, but now Solomon is a little eager to continue learning summoning.

However, there is still time to think about this, and the most urgent thing at the moment is to deal with the matter of the Black Rock Plane.

Solomon had to figure it out on his own, or else the expansion of the Black Rock Plane would most likely fail.

It is difficult for him to withdraw from Black Rock now, because the resources obtained from his previous efforts, including funds and connections, have been used on it, and now that he has withdrawn, the loss will be too great.

But if you want to continue to develop the Black Rock Plane, it is not an ordinary difficulty, and the dwarven clan cannot avoid it, not only will they take the initiative to attack the alien race.

It is not impossible to have iron ore in the Black Rock Plane, but a considerable amount of iron ore is located underground, and if Solomon mines it, it is not something that can be done by just having a strong army.

The dwarven clans must be dealt with, and it is not as simple as defeating, but also holding them in the palm of your hand, no matter what means are used.

Only by controlling the dwarven clans, taking advantage of their large numbers in the Black Rock Plane and their relative familiarity with the underground environment, can they dig underground resources on a large scale.

Otherwise, Solomon would have no choice but to admit his own loss and withdraw from the Black Rock Plane as soon as possible.

It seemed that there was only one step left, and Solomon clenched his fists helplessly, his nails sinking deep into his palms.

The next day, Solomon rented a carriage and drove him and Voltaire to the City of the Liberty, where he would seek a solution to his immediate dilemma, and it was time to talk to Franklin and them about cooperation.

－－－－－－－－

"Haha, Solomon, you're welcome, but why are you back again, could it be that something happened to Agatha?" Franklin looked a little surprised to see Solomon return to the City of the Liberty.

"No, City Lord, Agatha is fine, she's fine, but her teacher may participate in the kingdom's war in the Alternate Plane, which will affect her studies. I'm coming back this time to discuss something with you. ”

After Chris hurried in, Solomon told him about his exploration of the Black Rock Plane.

When Franklin heard this, the expression on his face did not change at all, and he could not tell whether he was happy or a little displeased.

He and Chris glanced at each other before saying, "Eaglets always have to spread their wings and fly into the sky." ”

When Solomon heard this, the stone in his heart was put down.

It seems that Franklin acquiesced in Solomon's exhibition, and did not have to deal with it.

In fact, if you think about it seriously, it is not surprising that anyone can see that Solomon is a very talented person.

Such a person will either stop him for a lifetime, or don't stop him, but push him.

In fact, Solomon's exhibition in the Free City will be greatly restricted, one is the restriction of the Free City itself.

There is something very special about this place, which allows Franklin to maintain his status as a semi-independent lord.

But it was also because of these special conditions that Franklin and the Free City came to a standstill, and it was difficult to have a greater exhibition.

Solomon's exhibition here has also touched the ceiling, and his position here is almost in third place, and then up are Chris and Franklin.

In the years to come, the only good way for Franklin to keep Solomon in the Free City was to marry him, but with Franklin's temper, it was unlikely that he would trade Agatha's happiness for it.

So for Solomon's current exhibition, Franklin didn't mind too much.

"Solomon, Franklin and I have long thought that the Free City is too remote, and he and I have spent half of our lives on it to have some foundation. You're different from us, you can have your own exhibition, we're all happy for you, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Chris laughs.

"Are you talking to us about this, do you want our help, or do you need to cooperate?"

Chris asked, "Getting help and cooperating are two different concepts.

The former represents Solomon's difficulties in the exhibition, and he has to turn to the Free City for help, so that in his career, the Free City can exert a lot of influence in the future.

And if it is the latter, then it is a transformation into an alliance relationship. But only if Solomon can come up with a cooperation that is beneficial to both parties, and if it is only beneficial to Solomon himself, then the relationship is back to the front.

Solomon sighed and said calmly, "Here in the Free City, the mining and smelting of the Mithril Mine should still not be restored, right?"

Solomon suddenly mentioned this headache, and Chris's face couldn't help but show a trace of bitterness.

It is true that it has not yet recovered, and since the last slave riot, the Free City has not been able to recover its former manpower.

Because the last riot was related to Duncan, the dark merchant, who was one of the famous slave traders.

Free City and Duncan are in this relationship, and it is not difficult to get a small number of slaves, but it is a little more difficult to get a large number of slaves in the four figures.

And the source will be extremely unstable, or even if you spend a lot of money to find a way to replenish it, but slave mining, death is inevitable, there is no stable source of slaves, even if the output goes up in a short period of time, it will be due to the death of the slave, and the output will decline again.

"Do you have a solution?"

"Dwarves. Solomon simply said what to do.

It didn't take long for Chris to understand Solomon's approach, and he intended to sell the dwarves of the Black Rock Plane as slave labor to the Free City.

Now in the Black Rock Plane, before the Firebeard Clan is resolved, it is impossible for Solomon to exploit on a large scale, and the only resource at his disposal that can be obtained from an endless source of energy is one thing, and that is the dwarves themselves.

"Did you really decide to do this?" said Franklin, frowning.

"Yes. Solomon said calmly.

If there was any other way, he didn't want to turn himself into a slave trader, after all, his real soul was a traverser, and he was definitely resistant to the slave trader.

But if you don't do this, it is likely that you will not be able to support it in the Black Rock Plane, let alone expand in the future.

A qiē starting all over again, which made it even more difficult for Solomon to accept.

If this world is destined to be the law of the jungle, then it is better to eat others than to eat yourself.

Doing so would be a win-win for both the Free City and Solomon, and if the dwarves of Black Rock were sold to the Free City, there would be enough of them in the Free City, and there would be an endless stream of slave laborers to speed up the mining of Mithril Mine.

And Solomon will also be given new funds to deal with the situation at Black Rock.

"However, large-scale dwarven slave labor teleportation is simply not possible. Chris reminded.

"I'll figure it out, but I'll need to borrow another Mithril loan from Franklin Bank in my name. Solomon said.

"No problem. Franklin said, "If you can really solve the problem of manpower in Mithril mining, I will also give you the greatest support in the price of slave labor." ”

Solomon nodded and said, "Then it's settled." ”

With Franklin's permission, Solomon borrowed money from the headquarters of the Free City.

Then he immediately rushed back to St. Quentin and asked Regina to come forward and ask him to help, with Solomon in charge of providing the materials and the Kingdom Teleportation Hall in charge of building a special magic array for teleportation in the Black Rock Plane.

In this way, the cost of teleportation in the later stage can be further reduced, but the cost of building the magic circle to be invested now is not low.

Then Solomon gritted his teeth again and placed an order with Goering, asking for a larger manned magic box.

This manned magic box is further expanded on the basis of the kind used by Derek and them, and the manned capacity can be further enlarged.

The current manned magic boxes are three to five people, but this criterion is to keep the people in the box alive if they fall into a state of time lapse.

If such a strict requirement is abandoned, this loading capacity can be increased by at least five times.

However, in that case, it is equivalent to putting people in a box and squeezing them, and it is necessary to ensure that the teleportation reaches the destination, as long as the time passes, the person in the box will die.

After Solomon had placed his order, he found Max again.

Max's alchemy shop hasn't been officially built yet, but the alchemy shop is almost ready.

Solomon had invested in him as a chess game, but now he had to use it.

He asked Max to help him hire some ordinary craftsmen at a high price, not alchemists, but ordinary craftsmen, especially those who knew how to build.

The next time he returns, he'll need to bring these people to the Black Rock Plane to help build the fortress.

George and his erudition, though at best, were able to design a fortress, but in the details of the construction, it was necessary to rely on these specialized craftsmen, and in this regard, the captured dwarves were only able to serve as coolies.

After doing this, Solomon teleported back to the Black Rock Plane.

As soon as he returned, he summoned his mages to a meeting with England, including several of Wolfe's stalwarts captains.

At the meeting, I heard a report that the construction of the fortress that George was in charge of was still early to be completed, and he only expected Max to hire craftsmen to Shun Lì, and someone was willing to take a manned magic box here for the sake of high rank.

Militarily, England has done a good job, and within the time Solomon left, he had already defeated the last two small clans in the river basin, and those who were willing to submit were merged into the Stone Fist clan of Tieye, and those who were unwilling to submit directly became slave laborers to build fortresses.
