Chang Hao held back his temperament and rested for another day before getting out of bed, he felt that he had cultivated enough spirit and spirit, and it was time to go and meet the king of Iron Hill to talk about serious things.

The entire kingdom of Iron Hills was built on a majestic crater, and the rugged buildings were divided into several areas and arranged in turn along the mountain, with the bottom of the area near the abundant earth fire being the foundry area where the craftsmen gathered, the middle floor being the residential area of the common people, the upper floor being the commercial and aristocratic districts, and the top of the city was naturally the Imperial District, where only the king and his relatives of the emperor had set foot.

If you look down at the Iron Hills from above, the topography of the Iron Hills is like a ring on a ring, and the majestic annular rock wall makes the most natural and effective barrier.

Each annular rock wall is topped by a powerful ballista, and if a foreign enemy wants to invade here, they must break through this layer of defense, which is one of the important reasons why the Iron Hills Kingdom has been able to stand for thousands of years.

As a legendary master of the Iron Hill Dwarf lineage, Master Orn arranged the residence in the Imperial City as a matter of course, and the guards in the Imperial City also seemed to know that Chang Hao was a lord of the Orc Kingdom, and he was not troubled along the way.

"Doesn't your King of Iron Hills receive foreign guests?" Chang Hao finally stopped in front of the splendid Iron Hills Palace.

"Yes, our Tomb King of Iron Hill has never received outsiders. The palace guard explained, "But Master Orn has already instructed you, if you have any needs, just go directly to Master Orn himself, and I can show you the way." ”

Chang Hao thought to himself that he was just a lord with the status of a viscount, after all, he was the king of the Iron Hills, and there was indeed a lot of difference in rank in the middle, and it was reasonable for people to be too lazy to see him. Now he can only put his hope in Master Orn, and from the words of these guards, it is not difficult to figure out that Master Orn seems to have a lot of power.

Master Orn was a privileged and legendary master, and his private foundry was just two walls away from the Imperial Quarters, and the guards took them before retiring.

The Imperial City is heavily guarded, idlers and others can't enter at all, and the foundry factory is naturally not guarded at all levels, Chang Hao easily entered the inside of the factory, where huge casting equipment can be seen everywhere, and the center is a ground fire shaft that leads straight to the depths of the ground, so hot that it can easily dissolve steel from a solid state to a liquid earth fire flames jumping, Orn obviously used some special means to do this.

"I thought it would take at least a few months for your horrible injuries to recover, but it seems that my expectations were too conservative. Master Orn revealed his "Mediterranean" after a pile of forging tools, not because they were stacked high, but because he was a little short.

"My small courtyard is quite quiet, isn't it? It's quite suitable for recuperation, and it's a rare prime location in the Imperial City. Orn smiled and shook Chang Hao's hand.

"Master Lao has bothered, and the environment is indeed first-class. Chang Hao is also telling the truth.

Orn took Chang Hao to a table, sat down and poured a glass of the favorite wine of the Iron Hill dwarves for both of them, Chang Hao, who was 1 meter and 8 heads, obviously couldn't sit on such a low chair, so he simply sat on the ground, and he saw a packed schoolbag in the corner near the table, with a childish handwriting on it.

"Condolences. Chang Hao picked up the wine and clinked glasses with Orn, and then drank it all.

"Mondstadt was a good apprentice, he was very motivated and brave, and he was the only one of my apprentices who dared to go to the Abyss Valley with me. The orange-yellow brew in the glass reflected Orn's aged face, "Mondstadt was dragged into the darkness by the tentacles in front of me, and when I saw him again in the lava field, I confessed that I was lucky, how I wished he had escaped, but it was Agomoto's trick." ”

"Thank you for saving me and avenging Mondstadt, thank you. Orn used his wine to relieve himself, but he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.

Chang Hao didn't interrupt Orn, the pain and torture that the white-haired man had to endure to send the black-haired man was not something that ordinary people could understand, and he wouldn't say something like "Hey, old man, cheer up" like a bastard who doesn't know how to empathize.

The only thing that can heal the pain in his heart is time, a long, long time.

"You came to me more than just tell me about your recovery. Orn had another glass of wine in his throat, he had seen the strength of the young lord in front of him, a person who could defeat the Abyss Lord, what he was going to say next would definitely not be simple.

"I want to make a pact with Iron Hills. Chang Hao went straight into the knife without beating around the bush.

"Make a contract?" Orn wondered, "Iron Hills and your orc kingdom have concluded a treaty of mutual assistance for thousands of years, and we will sell a portion of our steel to your kingdom every year at a lower price."

"Wait, what do you mean?" Orn seemed to suddenly understand something.

Chang Hao tapped the table with his fingers and nodded meaningfully, "That's right, that's what you guessed." ”

"I see, you're quite ambitious, I really don't understand why the Orc Kingdom would let you be a human to be a lord, and you are such a powerful human. ”

"How do you know I'm human? Can't I be an elf?"

"Didn't the Abyss Lord expose your old story in front of us before?"

"Well, that's it. ”

"I need at least so much iron ore every quarter, I can only do more, not less, I don't need the low price you sell to the kingdom's official, we just go to the normal price, you just need to tell me, can this be done." Chang Hao reported an astronomical amount, far exceeding the tonnage of iron ore that Iron Hills sells to the orc kingdom officials every year.

"If it were someone else, there would be no possibility of talking about this matter at all, but since it was you, I could set this precedent for you, after all, if you hadn't saved me, I wouldn't be able to sit here and drink in peace now. ”

Hearing the figures reported by Chang Hao, even Orn, who is a legendary giant, couldn't help but be moved, this amount of iron ore is enough to one-third of the annual mine output of the iron hills, and it is as high as several mountains just piled up, what does this guy want so much iron ore for? Could it be that he wants to build an army of steel?

But this is someone else's business, and Orn doesn't bother to touch it.

"Can you call the shots in this matter? Don't you need the king of Iron Hills to give the final opinion?" Seeing that Orn was so "on the road", the full draft prepared by Chang Hao was useless for a while, and he was a little skeptical that Orn was not scolding him, this was too smooth, right?

"I'm his cousin. Orn rolled his eyes and dispelled Chang Hao's doubts with just one sentence.

Chang Hao suddenly realized in the sound of "disrespect and disrespect", it turned out that Orn was the cousin of the King of Iron Hills, no wonder the guards said that they could go to Orn for anything, it turned out that to some extent, Orn said more powerful words than the King of Iron Hills.

This person was not saved in vain, Chang Hao's heart blossomed.

Aoun said, "With such a large amount of iron ore, it is not easy to transport, you are acting in concealment from the high-level of the orc kingdom, and the official road is not allowed to go, when the time comes, I will send someone to connect with your subordinates, and your dignified lord must not be able to do everything, right?"

"That's nature, I'm not a babysitter, I only care about the most important things. Chang Hao snapped his fingers, and his voice was lowered, "I still want to talk to you about Taiyuan Shi." ”

Orn's eyes narrowed.
