"Oh? Does our ghost wine have this unique effect? Gavin was aroused, "Then these three barrels of ghost wine, patriarch, you should taste it even more, this is this year's new product, the ghost index reaches two, which is twenty times the concentration of the previous batch, and only dares to sell it to professionals, ordinary people don't dare to let them taste it at all." ”

The divinity possessed by Vizeme Manor has greatly increased, and the benefits are multifaceted, including the product that has made it famous all over the world.

Gavin can now even extravagantly invest a few points of divine power in those Spirit Gathering Cellar wines, so that the concentration of negative energy there is completely constant according to his needs, that is, consumption is replenishment, and the fermentation speed of ghost wine will naturally increase significantly.

This ghost index is two, and both belong to the mid-range products only.

There are also three kinds of ghost indices on it, which are three, four, and five, and the number will be reduced by half for each increase in the index, and the current ghost index is five, and there is only one spirit gathering wine cellar, a total of two thousand.

When it reaches more than four, it can no longer be drunk as a simple wine, let alone a bottle for ordinary people, even if it is a 10 ml shot glass, it is estimated that it can become a ghost on the spot, and there is a fight with strong poison.

"When the general said this, he caused all the wine worms in our stomachs, and we couldn't help but want to taste it." Jiharin was a little impatient.

"I've heard about the good drinks of dwarves for a long time, and it would be great if you could help me give me advice after tasting it, patriarch." Gavin set up the steps for the other party.

"Someone, get a dozen glasses." Ji Harin was no longer polite, and directly asked a bunch of wine glasses to come up.

Soon another dwarf brought a bunch of wine glasses, not small glasses for drinking spirits, nor tall glasses for drinking wine, but large mugs for drinking ale and beer.

Gavin didn't stop it, because he knew that it wasn't whether the other party had picked up his words to heart, but that dwarves were not as particular about drinking as humans, and no matter what kind of wine, they used this kind of wine glass, which was nothing more than the difference between wood and metal, at least in the dwarven clan.

When the ghost wine barrel was opened, and the dark liquor flowed out of the faucet, a chill spread on the spot, and the temperature in the air seemed to drop by several points.

Fortunately, the Iron Clan uses wooden mugs, not metal ones.

Rao was like this, and the dwarves who took the ghost wine couldn't help but give a cold shiver, and no one dared to rashly pour it into their stomachs.

Although the mug brought up by the other party was wooden, it was not an ordinary thing, and it emitted a magical aura, and when the ghost wine was infused into it, it automatically cast a magic such as detecting toxins.

This kind of magic wine cup is not exclusive to dwarves, there are many on the market, and it is very sought-after, many people are cautious, even if they go to the tavern to drink, they don't use the tavern wine glass, but use this magic wine cup that can screen most of the toxins, after all, it is quite rude to guard the person concerned to perform the magic of detecting toxins, but if you don't use it, you don't feel at ease to drink the wine prepared by the other party.

This kind of magic wine cup with its own magic effect helps to eliminate this embarrassment.

The magic wine cup in Giharin's hand was particularly powerful, and it was not until they saw that he did not have any different colors and held the glass to his mouth that the other dwarves drank it with confidence.

"Okay, good, good, this is much stronger than the original, if I had this, I have the confidence to make the level of the Adamantite armor a higher level, this wine should not be drunk here, but a sip when we are sweating in the forging room, it will definitely make our stick boys a hundred times more energetic." Ghitharin raved about the high concentration of ghost wines, something that definitely appealed to dwarves.

Even if it was him, he only dared to take a sip and taste it, let alone those ordinary dwarves.

By the time Giharin had a group of dwarves carry the three barrels of ghost wine away, the unrelated dwarves had all exited the council chamber, leaving him and the three dwarves who had sent the Adamantite Armor in the first place, silently indicating that they had confirmed Gavin's identity, and the meeting began to get to the point.

Gavin was no longer secretive, and went straight to the point: "I believe in the matter of the Iwadi bet, you should know, Patriarch, I am here to form an alliance, the Iron Clan will help me win the position of the Baron of Iwadi, I will do my best to help you regain the Tasyama Mine, and help you restore the glory of the Iron Clan." ”

"The general is not the first to form an alliance with us because of this matter, and I believe that it is not the last, but in the end, it all proves that you want to form an alliance with us, nothing more than want to use our forging ability to work for you for free, and when you develop and grow, you will directly kick us aside, and the matter of recovering Tayshayama will not be on the agenda for a long time, patriarch, instead of believing in the power of outsiders, we should focus more on developing ourselves." The stout dwarf beside Jiharin said in a sullen voice.

This man's name is Porin, although he has not entered the twilight like Jiharim, he is not young, his beard has turned white, he is the general of Jiharin.

Gavin knew that the historical Reconquest of the Tashyama Mines was led by the Secret Silver Legion.

Unfortunately, not only did they not regain their homeland, but they used up all the little energy that the Kingdom of Taysyama had just recovered, and even he himself stayed in his homeland forever and never came out again.

"I wonder if the patriarch knows who captured Tashayama in the first place? Who rules here now? Gavin didn't answer Pauline's question, this kind of thing is the hardest thing to prove itself, and to say that more would be a blank check.

He came prepared.

"Are you doubting that our Iron Clan will forget their history and shame?" Pauline glared angrily, dissatisfied with Gavin's question.

"Lady Strategist says that only enemies who know well enough can make a strategic plan to defeat them, and I don't mean to question it, just to make sure that the information we have about the Tayser Yama mines is consistent, especially about the latest information there, and I have a canine servant from there." Gavin replied truthfully.

"Dog Demon Minions?! A devil? Can he believe his words? The four dwarves present changed color, and their favorability towards Gavin instantly dropped by several points, because the kingdom of Tasyama had fallen into the hands of this kind of devil and orc alliance in the first place.

More precisely, this particular devil played a crucial role in this, and after a large number of their elite dwarven warriors were killed in battle, their soul corpses were eaten by them, causing a permanent loss of the forces of the Taysyama Kingdom.

In a war of attrition, the living stream of blood collapsed, and for a long time afterwards, they could not recover, let alone regain their homeland.

Low fertility is a common problem of all long-lived species, and dwarves are no exception.

"It's under my absolute control, its loyalty is beyond the scope of our discussion today, you just need to know that I have the latest information on the Tesherama mines, and I'll share it with you later." Gavin wasn't surprised by their reactions, as his attitude towards Andrew, the dog demon, wasn't much better than theirs.

Until now, he has only used him, but he will not give him too much trust, and some core affairs will marginalize him.

"It's up to me to talk about this matter, after all, I'm a first-hand experiencer." The wandering dwarf king Gilharim had a deep sadness on his face, and he talked about the fall of his homeland as if it were yesterday, "The monster alliance that has captured Taythayama is led by a lich named Great Herundadim, and is composed of orcs, canines, and summoned demons.

Until now, no one knows the true origin of the Great Herundadim, and we have traced all of his history afterwards, and his activities can be traced back to 1,900 years ago.

At that time, the Enoch Desert had not yet fully expanded, and was less than one-third the size it is now.

No one knew his name, as he had established a kingdom of goblin races called Herundadim in the Tempest Plains, in what is now the Sword Desert region of the Enoch Desert in the north of the rocklands, and they had been plagued by this place for nearly a thousand years.

In 87 BC, they destroyed the Takhar Valley, the predecessor of the Valley.

In the year 111 of the Vale calendar, they allied with the orcs to conquer and destroy Anoria, one of the terrestrial states after the collapse and division of the Nethrel Empire.

In 198 the Vale calendar, they invaded Cormier through the rocks, they burned the city of Arabe, and pushed their troops to the vicinity of the King's Forest, until 200 years, when they were defeated by a large army led by King Maurien, and forcibly driven to the rocks.

It was not until 268 that the kingdom of Herendadim completely collapsed under the invasion of the Enoch Desert, unprecedented civil strife broke out, and their ruler Herendadim also disappeared completely, and reappeared, that is, in 1104, the fall of the kingdom of Tasyama, the year of the wailing of the Iron Clan.

Although he has never led his demon alliance out of Taysyama over the years, and it is difficult for outsiders to penetrate into it, we know that the one who rules there must be the devil who sold his soul to hell. ”

The Iron Clan naturally investigated its enemies and found out all his past and present lives.

This monster force is very similar to the current army of conquerors, and it is very dependent on the supreme commander, everything is born because of him, and everything is killed because of him.

The Herundadim Empire is a case in point, it came into being with the birth of the Great Herundadim and died with his disappearance, and the expansion of the Enoh Desert was only the trigger.

If they can carry out the decapitation tactic, rush into the deepest part of the Tayseyama mines, and take out the Great Herundadim, the return of Tayseyama will be a matter of hand.

This is basically wishful thinking, the Great Herundadim is an old monster that has been crisscrossing this continent for nearly two thousand years, even if some god incarnations are afraid that they will not be able to please him in front of him, let alone go deep into the lair that he has operated for more than three centuries, and it is more likely to deliver him food.

This is one of the top war dungeons in all of Faerun, even if Gavin started the dog demon very early, he didn't come to contact the Iron Clan because he didn't even have the qualifications to get involved with this dungeon.

Gavin said with a solemn expression: "Now that you have found out the origin of the Great Herundadim, you should be aware of his influence on the major goblin races in the Rocklands, the Goblin Frontier, and the Enok Great Desert.

Especially among the goblin nomads of the Enoch Desert, he is already an almost evil god-like existence.

Why is there no way to recover the rocks of the Cormier Kingdom?

It is the bane planted thousands of years ago, and there are a large number of believers of the Great Herendadim, recruiting elite troops for him, controlling more servant races, and as long as he gives an order, he can gather an army of more than hundreds of thousands of goblins for his use.

Recovering the rocky land and controlling the goblin frontier is actually the process of cutting off his wings.

I have reason to believe that as this matter progresses, he will not sit idly by, and it is likely that he will send the main force out of the Taysyama mines to lead the goblins in a full-scale counterattack.

This was the perfect opportunity to cut off some of his forces and pave the way for a full-scale counter-offensive against the Tayser Yama mines.

If there were such a series of premises, would you still think that I would break my word? ”

Gavin's information is not one-sided, but a mixture of multiple aspects.

There are those in past lives and those in this life.

Compared with the previous life, the feeling in this life is deeper.

The stronger the development in the rocks, the more Gavin felt that there was an invisible giant net hanging over this place, he originally thought that this giant net was laid by the Santarin Society, but later slowly found out that it was not.

Because of the influence of this force, the influence of goblin creatures is far greater than that of other monsters.

For a long time, Gavin had made the appearance of the dog demon in the goblins of the Spirit Crystal Pit, and encouraged the goblins to calculate the kobolds in the Black Well as a coincidence.

Later, I slowly found out that this was not the case at all, not that the dog demon Andrew had something to hide from him, but that among the goblin races in the rocks and the Enoch Desert, the number of dog demons was amazing.

Andrew thought he had followed his will and escaped from the great cave of the Taysyama mines, how could he be sure that it was not tacitly approved by the Taysyama higher-ups?

It's a lair run by a thousand-year-old lich, if he doesn't want to, it's a dog demon who can escape casually? After escaping, the mine didn't react at all?

This is only one of the indirect corroborations.

The second is that two large-scale goblin invasions broke out in the Cormier Kingdom.

One of these erupted four years ago (1355), when a large number of goblins and orcs poured out of the rocks and captured the city of Arabe.

During this battle, the Lord of Merla lost her left arm, and due to the powerful magical forces, the regeneration technique was unable to restore her left arm, and she still has a metal prosthetic arm.

They ravaged the area for three months until the Grand Duke of Beru, led the army of the Purple Dragons north, to regain it, annexing the city of Tivanton the following year.

The other took place in the future (1371), the Dragon's Catastrophe that nearly tore the Cormier kingdom apart.

The reason for the great momentum of that attack was not only the strength of the demon dragon Naravatril itself, but also because the army he led was equally terrifying, said to be hundreds of thousands, also composed of orcs and goblins, and the legend has it that the army also came from the rocks.

Gavin can now be called the person who knows the most about the rockland, and has the most right to speak, and the rockland alone can't raise so many orcs and goblins.

Although the terrain is relatively rugged and belongs to the plateau and hilly area, it is at least mostly dirt and mountains, with grass and trees, and at least it grows.

The farther north and west it became, the more desolate it became, and it was all bare granite, and even Gavin was helpless against it, let alone the orcs and goblins that didn't produce it, and such places made up a third of the entire rockfield.

It's not for nothing that the rocks have become chicken ribs, and they won't change because of Gavin's arrival.

If you want to unleash an army of more than 100,000 monsters, you must at least gather all the monster forces around the Rocklands, Goblin Border Wasteland, Enooc Desert, Mokou Mountains, Storm Horn Mountains, and Thundering Peak Mountains.

Gavin had originally blamed all of this on the Santarim Society, and they seemed to be the only ones around them who had the ability.

The only thing that doesn't make sense is that the dark intelligence network doesn't have much profit from these two things, especially the 1371 Demon Dragon Tribulation.

In this year, the struggle between the two factions of the Santarin Society reached its extreme, the mad god Shirek was judged by the powerful divine power to form the court of gods because of his madness, and some of the priesthoods were forcibly stripped away, and the strength plummeted, and the followers of the tyrannical god Bane once again took advantage of the situation and regained power.

In comparison, everything that was pushed behind by the monsters of the Tayser Yama Mine can be explained.

Gavin had reason to believe that if it weren't for the robbery of the Santarin Society's goods, he would have pressed the pause button on the development of the rocks by mistake, and he would have been engaged with the affiliated monster tribe of the Taysyama mines.

"This is just your personal speculation, do you have any evidence to prove it?" Pauline shows the stubborn side of the dwarves and does not change his opinion because of the other party's inferences.

Gavin spread his hands and said: "No, this kind of behind-the-scenes manipulation is the most difficult to have real evidence, you can only boldly assume, no matter how careful you are, whether it is or not, as I officially develop in the rockland, I will soon know, they will definitely not sit idly by and watch me unify the entire rockland." ”

"But ......"

Jiharin waved his hand and interrupted Paulin, who was still trying to argue, and said: "One more friend, one more help, not to mention that we may face the same enemy now, why don't we first hear how General Gavin wants to form an alliance?" ”

"Yes." Pauline could only step aside.

"Alliances don't necessarily start with offensive and defensive alliances, we can start with business alliances and look for points of cooperation that are beneficial to both sides.

For example, I have iron ore in the rocks that you don't have, and you have forging technology that I don't have.

Another example is that you can forge the finest Adamantite Alloy Gear, and I have Adamantite.

When my suspicions are further confirmed, it's not too late for us to push for a deeper alliance. ”

From the very beginning, Gavin was not prepared to annex the Iron Clan.

This ancient dwarven clan is so easy to be swallowed, the Cormier Kingdom has done this a long time ago, where will it wait until now, let alone wait for itself.

Mutual benefit and reciprocity, each taking what he needs, is the king.
