Chapter 186: Negotiation
Manufacturing means mass production.
A Shaped Ring is activated with a magic crystal, and the fireball it produces can only blast out a pit of several meters in diameter at most.
However, if this Shaped Ring is launched with a Geodeceleration Stone, the attack power generated will at least melt a shield made of stainless steel and blast a huge crater with a diameter of more than ten meters, and the effect is more than ten times that of the usual!
Of course, the Earth Shatter Stone is a rare item and cannot be used as a consumable.
However, even if you can't devote yourself to ordinary combat, one more means of fighting still means one more chance to survive and win.
For example, Xie Na, who owns a geomorphic stone, when she was chased and killed by the humanoid master, if she had a shaped ring, she would completely use it at the same time as her own magic, instantly forming a terrifying explosive damage, so as to break through the siege.
Not only that, but if you plan it properly, you can even lure and gather those humanoid masters, and then kill them in one instant to directly reverse the situation.
This is the role that the Ring of Convergence can play in the Three Towers of Trees.
And more importantly, this is not a speculation by Midi, but the experience of the adventurers of the previous life in the continuous battle!
Relying on the memories of his previous life, Midi had Master Norton manage to create a batch of Gathering Rings long before planning his trip to the West Coast, which were good enough and strong enough to be of much better quality than average, making them strong enough to absorb the essence magic of the Earthshatter Stone, and to be able to use them at least five or six times in that overload state.
Five or six terrifying bursts of firepower are enough to turn the tide of battle, and it's no wonder that dragons, who are extremely sensitive to combat but quite picky, are attracted by the value of the Gathering Ring just by trying it out.
Of course, despite being a reborn, Midi was not strong enough to predict today's scene.
He asked Master Norton to study the Gathering Ring, more because he thought that after the Falcon Regiment entered Sky City in the future, it would be necessary to use this ring to quickly increase its firepower and cope with the battle. Now that it is taken out to make a deal with the dragonman, there is indeed a certain amount of coincidence.
But it is true of the adage that chance favors only those who are prepared.
It is precisely because of the various preparations that have been made for a long time that at this moment, Midi can immediately reflect his value as soon as he comes up.
Now, now that the value has been recognized, the next thing to do is simple -
Trade.
"The Gathering Ring was made by the Falcon Group, and only the ring we made can absorb the essence magic in Sky City and use it. Midi said unhurriedly, "If Mr. Patriarch is interested in this kind of magic item, I can provide some, but of course, this is conditional. ”
There is no need to beat around the bush to negotiate in a sea of trees.
As long as you show enough value and show enough power to hold that value, then you will be treated with the respect you deserve and a fair deal will be made.
As for small gestures and bargaining, there is no need to worry about it at all.
Therefore, Midi came up and showed straight to the point that he was here to negotiate the conditions.
Obviously, this dignified approach made several dragon elders in the hall feel quite comfortable, and they didn't have to go around deliberately.
And Lucas, who had long been interested in the Gathering Ring, didn't bother to hide anything, waved his hand, and asked directly: "Human, tell me, what do you want?"
"Two things. Midi replied quickly, "First, I hope to be able to use your strength to establish a trade route between Sky City and the Arad Continent. Second, I hope to exchange this Gathering Ring for Sky City's specialty, the 'Sky Stone'. ”
"Kuakashi?" Lucas touched his chin.
The Sky Stone, like the Earth Shatter Stone, is a specialty of Sky City.
This stone has the property of floating in the air, and when thrown into the air, it will stand still in mid-air for a long time like a floating piece of paper. In the Sea of Three Towers, there are many small islands hanging in the sky, and in the meteorite area located on the edge, most of the rocks contain the components of empty akashi.
In addition, the "stone seat", the most commonly used means of transportation for the humanoid masters, also contains a large amount of empty stone.
It is easier to collect than the Earthshatter Stone, and is rarely used in combat by any race other than the Humanoids.
And as long as he and the humanoid master are still in a state of immortality, then even if the dragons don't deliberately collect it, they will always get a considerable amount of empty bright stones - as long as they clean the battlefield a little and purify the stone seats of those dead humanoid masters.
To put it simply, this is a material that is not very useful to the dragons, but will accumulate unconsciously.
Lucas thought about it in his heart, felt that it was not a loss, and exchanged glances with several other dragonman elders on the stone platform, then coughed, ready to agree to the conditions proposed by Midi.
"Human, what you ask, we ......"
Just as the dragon patriarch was about to nod his head in promise, a tall and vigorous figure suddenly walked into the hall, and with the sound of heavy footsteps, there was a sound like thunder.
"Wait!"
The owner of the voice was a young dragonman, who was not very tall, but he was extremely stocky, and when he stood there, it was like a solid piece of cast iron, and with every step, the ground under his feet seemed to tremble slightly. Unlike the patriarch and Xie Na, this dragonman's skin was not blue, but bright red as blood, and from a distance, it seemed like a high-temperature flame!
The Wings of Thunder and Fire, as the name suggests, naturally have the power of two bloodlines, thunder and lightning, and at this moment, Midi, as a bystander, suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some mismatch between the dragonman with the thunder and lightning talent and the dragonman with the flame talent.
"Tanius, the elders are in a meeting, what are you running in to make trouble!" Patriarch Lucas's face sank suddenly, and Xie Na next to him had a trace of anger in his eyes.
The proud dragonmen had always valued honor, even more so within the clan, and now, the young dragonman of Tanius had come uninvited, apparently not taking the elder and his own patriarch seriously.
It's just that this young dragon man with a flame talent also has such offensive capital - not only is he the same as the patriarch, he is a capper who has reached level 50, but he is also the youngest capper among the dragonmen in the past hundred years, his talent is extremely outstanding, and he has been supported by the flame family, and even the captain of the dragon man guard is on his side!
Midi stepped in, and the captain of the guard immediately informed Tanius, and thus the present scene was born.
The dragons of the flame line have a very high opinion of themselves, and they have never paid attention to humans as creatures.
And now, the human being of Midi has actually walked with the Raiden family, who has always been against them, and has naturally become the top priority of the attack.
Although Tanius is still unable to defeat the patriarch, and even Xie Na is inferior in power and prestige, this does not prevent him from attacking a human who has no status in the dragonman clan, and is not even inferior to a pet.
When he heard the rebuke from the patriarch Lucas, Tanius didn't care at all, just shrugged his shoulders casually, snorted coldly, and glanced at Midi with a sharp and contemptuous gaze, and then said: "Troublemaker? I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I couldn't help but stand up." ”
"What did you say?" was swept away in front of the humans, and the face of the dragonman patriarch suddenly became gloomy.
Tanius sneered again: "Isn't it?We are powerful and noble dragonmen, with the blood of a true dragon flowing in our bodies, why treat these weak humans in such a polite way?"
As he spoke, he took a few heavy steps and stood in front of Midi, looking down condescendingly, and a stream of heat erupted from his nostrils: "With a few broken rings, I also want to drive the Thunder and Fire Wings tribe to open up trade routes for you, don't dream! Human, let me give you a condition! If you want to survive in this three-tower tree sea, you must pay tribute to our Thunder Fire Wings every month, otherwise, I will kill one human when I see one!"
"Tanius, you try to babble here again?" Xena roared.
Tanius's rude attitude towards Midi is tantamount to provoking the patriarch and all the dragons of the Raiden family, even if the patriarch himself can't act easily, how can Xie Na endure it?
Only a heavy sound of gold and stone colliding was heard, and the war spear in Xie Na's hand hit the hard ground so hard that it directly cracked the ground, and the next moment, the spear blade, which was still stained with the dried blood of the humanoid division, had already pointed at the tall Tanius.
In an instant, the entire hall actually gave people a cold feeling filled with gunsmoke.
And at this time, an indifferent and calm voice broke this tense atmosphere.
"Since this matter is caused by me, can you leave it to me to solve it?" was Midi's voice.
"You?" Xie Na's eyes were full of surprise, and she couldn't help but blurt out.
Even the dragon clan leader Rucas, who had always been accustomed to putting on a majestic posture, suddenly looked at him with suspicion.
The rest of the dragon man elders who were watching the development of the situation began to exchange ears.
You must know that this is a conflict within the dragonmen now, and whether it is the Thunder and Lightning series or the Flame line, each has great strength. And what can Midi, in their opinion, be just a small human being, who has just come to the sea of trees, has no roots, is alone, and is single-handed?
And after hearing Midius's words, he laughed even more presumptuously: "Stupid and insignificant human beings, dare to speak out, what qualifications do you have, what skills do you have, dare to speak in front of me!"
"Are you qualified, don't you know if you try it?" Midi replied fearlessly, looking up at the tall red-scaled dragonman.
