Siara looked at the bare Eagle Rank Mountain, and a voice sounded from behind.

"I'm sure you've heard about it, right?"

Theara turned around, but there was no one in front of her.

"Your Excellency has grown too tall."

Ian Hoddle said with some displeasure:

"As a servant, you shouldn't be very sensitive, right?"

Xiala pursed her lips and chuckled, "I'm sorry, it's too offensive to use perception on such an occasion. ”

The totem in front of him, wearing a brown deer hunting hat and a cloak of flowers, happened to be standing in a shallow pit, like a tomato growing in the ground.

The dwarf didn't dwell on this question, and jumped directly onto a stone next to him.

He looked at the Eagle Rank Mountain, and there was sadness in his eyes.

"When a disaster strikes, even if there are more than a hundred third-level totem masters in Eagle Wing City, they won't be able to take so many people's lives by the death qi."

Xiala was slightly moved: "You mean that those dwarves in the city are all dead from death?" But the news I heard was clearly a seventh-level lich......"

"Nope." Ian shook his head, "When this happened, I was exploring Deathclaw Mountain, not far from here, and the ruins had a leak of death air, and Eternal Dawn sent the Sun Knight Gawain to keep me safe - the one who was recently reported to have died in the Withered Traces.

"Later, one of their scout knights noticed something unusual here, and came to investigate. Later, I learned from the young knight named Bedwell that the so-called seventh-level lich had not had time to descend from the top of the mountain, and the dead air here was suppressed by the flood of holy light.

"And according to what we have seen in the city, most of them have been turned into undead creatures alive by the dead air, or have been eroded by the dead air and turned to ashes in the subsequent holy light......"

He sighed, as if reluctant to say any more.

There was a little heaviness in Chiara's eyes.

If this is the case, then this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

"But why is there a lack of totem masters in such a populous city......

"Our temple is not as powerful as your temple." Ian smiled bitterly: "The totem master has long been not the first choice of dwarves, and is even synonymous with being outdated. Hunters with firearms or magic guns are the trend, and they are the first choice of young people. This is ...... with the Villitas"

He caught a glimpse of Collins approaching, and abruptly changed the subject.

"Looks like your staff is done talking to the professor."

Hearing this, Xiala looked over.

Collins walked out with Naga, aka Megumi.

Next to him was the representative sent by the Basque Country, the Conu Red, that is, Duoduo.

They represented the Temple, the Dwarf, and Vellitas, and were discussing the timber business in Mykala.

In the past, the logs in Rock Town were all sent directly to Eagle Rank Mountain as high-quality floating materials to make airships.

Now that the Eagle Rank Mountain has been destroyed, the Villitas have lost control of Mykara.

As the only force closest to this place with the industrial capacity and material needs, the Shadow Sanctuary has rightfully stepped forward.

Although there are 10,000 people in Villitas, they are not happy, but they are also beyond their reach.

They could neither blatantly garrison troops in Maikara, nor could they open local factories and monopolize the sale of logs.

So Collins could only try his best to sow discord between the dwarves and the Nices, and he almost said "you can't cooperate".

He thought well and deliberately let Naga and Red negotiate.

The former is human, and there is a racial contradiction between his Nice master and son, which can be provoked.

The latter is a Konu, and there is a class contradiction between him and his dwarven master, which can be provoked.

And these two people, one is the Vilitas who are powerful in Maikala, and the other is the Konu who are dominated by others, and the contradiction between these two should be deeper.

Theoretically, as long as you make good use of this scattered interpersonal relationship, desperately sow discord, and sabotage this negotiation, it is not a big problem......

However, judging by Collins' slightly solemn expression, it was clear that his plan had gone bankrupt.

He couldn't figure out why these two people could sing and harmonize, as if they had communicated in advance.

I have been staring at them all the way, when have these two people communicated?

Megumii: "This idiot is probably still wondering why we didn't fall out." ”

Duoduo: "That's it, I'm okay, right?" ”

Megumii: "You are worthy of being a woman who has been in the RP shop all year round, you are a drama spirit." ”

Duoduo: "Don't bury me, think about how to deal with this old man, I see that his head is big." ”

She's talking about Ian Hoddle.

According to the original plan, this guy would join in for the sake of Basque's face, and then grind foreign workers casually, and finally leave with a large appearance fee.

What investigates withering...... It's just a show.

However, this guy didn't know what medicine he was taking, and not only joined in extremely responsibly, but also seriously claimed to investigate carefully.

Judging by how serious he is, he clearly is serious.

Not only that, but he also said that since he represented the dwarves and the Basque was not here, then as the spokesman of the Basque, Duoduo should obey his leadership.

It's really shooting yourself in the foot.

Duoduo can't have the slightest seizure, and can't annoy this dwarf uncle who is known as "cheap and loves to open monsters" in the player group......

She is, after all, the Basque man of the dwarven and wealthy merchants.

And Ian is the "dwarf with high influence" that Megumi is trying to woo in her plan.

If Ian refuses to join the Basque Country, then the latter parliamentarian will not have much say.

So everything is fine with Megumi's plan, but something went wrong with Ian.

spent money to find a second uncle for Duoduo.

Megumi sighed, "Maybe Simon made a mistake when he told him......"

Duoduo: "You actually let that poor guy take the blame?" Reflect on yourself, the alarm bell is ringing! ”

Megumii: "Yes, yes, I reflect, it's my plan that went wrong......"

…

Several people came up to Siara and Ian, who stepped forward and asked:

"Have you negotiated?"

"Of course."

Collins smiled politely.

He hasn't given up yet.

"The technology of the Volvic shipyard, combined with the high-quality wood from Maikala, and the enthusiastic help of the dwarves, will soon be a new airship using fire."

The Volvich shipyard was a leak that the Basque Country picked up while the airship industry was languishing due to the skyrocketing price of Charge Stones.

Collins deliberately said this to make the Nice realize that the core technology is with the dwarves.

Where are they building a new floating city, it's a new airship!

Duoduo: "He's set it up for you." ”

Megumi: "I know, this guy isn't dead yet. ”

But before she could speak back, Ian spoke.

"I think Your Excellency may be mistaken, the key to building the airship is in the hands of the Velites, and all the dwarves do is to renovate the deck. What's more, what we want to build is a new type of floating city, not an airship, don't make a mistake. ”

Duoduo: "Shocked! Is this uncle enlightened? ”

Megumii: "Hmm...... It's hard to say, let's see. ”

Collins was bored with himself, smiled politely, and said no more.

Megumi took the opportunity to say: "The next thing left is to contact Lord George of McCalla, and leave this job to me, I have dealt with Lord Lords many times." ”

Siara wanted to say something, but the words came to her lips and swallowed again.

The trip wouldn't pass through McAllalla, so she had to think more about how she could convince the old Templar stubborns when she returned.

The thought of getting them to agree to the development of a new floating city made her head tremble.

If a new technology or new thing wants to be promoted in a conservative place like Northland, it will take a lot of time just to hold a meeting to discuss it, and it is still a strategic prop like Floating City, so I am afraid that it will not be able to come down for more than half a year.

Forget it, don't think about it too much.

That was the end of the matter, but then Ian spoke again.

"Why don't we pass through McKalla?"

Hui Hui was almost frightened out of her body by this uncle, and hurriedly said solemnly:

"Lord Ian, do you want to treat the Four-Power Pact as if it were nothing?"

Duoduo: "Poof...... Hahaha, it's really worthy of you duck Huihui. ”

Megumii: "Don't learn from those guys!" ”

Duoduo: "Good duck, black belly." ”

Megumi: "I'm going to die, you!" ”

…

It might be useful for a big hat to press someone down, but Ian doesn't eat that at all.

He snorted, "I heard that there are two Holy Light Storage Wells in there, and not long ago, the people of Eternal Dawn actually sent the Sun Knight Gawain to McKala in person, do the people of gold have the Four-Power Pact in their eyes?" ”

Collins coughed.

"His Excellency Gawain died in the scars of withering, and this may be the price of violating the Four-Power Pact."

"Yes, so let's hurry up and go to the Blighted Scar, I'd love to know how little Gawain died there, so that I can avenge him."

A crisp voice interjected, and a shadow jumped from the tree.

It was Lady Renee, the Three Kings who liked to stand on the tree when she had nothing to do.

She shook her silver hair, and she didn't have the frame of a princess at all, not even a personal maid.

The elves were supposed to be the protagonists of this investigative journey, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was just a show, breaking the ice for both sides.

So this trip made it nice for the dwarves and the Nice to talk about business.

Renee wanted to talk about it, but she didn't have any power in her hands, and she didn't count what she said, so she was very distressed.

If there's anyone who, like Ian, really wants to heal the blight, it's her.

In addition to the fact that this is the dream of the elves, on the other hand, if the wither can be solved, she can lead the Mercury royal family in a righteous and bright way, without any trickery and means.

But Ian refuses to give her this face, insisting on going to McCalla.

Just when everyone was struggling with this issue, the guards suddenly came to report.

"One is a human named Simon asking to see him, and he also has an assistant with him, and they are from the direction of McCalla."

"Simon? Who is this? ”

Collins frowned slightly.

In addition to being a-stirring stick, his serious mission is to be the team's security guard and the maintenance personnel of large magic equipment.

So this kind of who should be seen and who should not be seen is basically up to him.

Hui Hui approached the other party and said in a low voice, "The Ministry of Trade used to be in charge of business here. ”

As soon as he said this, Collinton understood.

He couldn't help but glance at Naga more, feeling a little sorry in his heart.

What a good talent, know the general situation, understand the proportion, and know the importance.

The most important thing is that the brain is still bright, and those fools actually gave it to the Nice people like this.

However, as a second or fifth boy who had long fallen to Sanatos, this emotion only lasted for a moment and was replaced by "Think about it from afar, this is a good thing".

The Vellites and Nices are the best to fight to the death and knock out all the dogs' brains.

"Let him in." He said.
