The expression on Barrod's face was much soothed, and he could finally see some smiles, and the heavy burden in his heart finally disappeared after seeing the cans that were piled up in the warehouse and sorted into categories.

Correspondingly, his attitude towards Don has also changed a lot.

Don could clearly feel the change in Barod's attitude before and after, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.

He is like those local tyrant players who use materials to smash the corresponding prestige from indifference to worship, but people use silk and wool, but he uses canned food.

However, looking at Barod's appearance, these more than 70,000 tons of canned food did not smash the prestige to worship, but changed from coldness to friendliness.

Don couldn't help but touch his nose, compared to the hospitable dwarves of Forge, the prestige of this underground dwarf can be regarded as a very difficult faction reputation.

After returning to the palace, the two sides finally sat down together and planned to talk about business.

And at this time, it was finally Fiona's home stadium.

Thankfully, Barrod knew Rune, otherwise Fiona would have been blind when she came - she didn't know dwarven language.

"Hello, great King of the Dwarves of the Underworld, I am the Chief Executive Officer of Lord Liege, in charge of all administrative matters of Ellington."

Fiona sat opposite Barod, briefly introduced herself, and then opened the file in front of her, took out a few pieces of paper from it and threw them aside: "Because I didn't know that you knew Rune before, I asked Brian to help prepare an introduction to the dwarven language, but now it seems that there is no need, I will talk to you directly......"

Donne, who was standing next to him, looked at Fiona with his arms crossed. The blonde girl's temperament is completely different from when they first met, although she is still the twenty-year-old blonde girl now, she is mature. Steady, aware of the general situation, major situations, and very clear about the priorities of things in his heart.

Even after knowing her enemy, she was able to put it aside for a while, and take Ellington's development as the first priority, without distracting her energy at all. She is indeed a very rare talent.

Don imagined in his mind what Fiona would look like in her OL uniform with gold-rimmed glasses, and then suddenly she grinned, regardless of her brilliant blonde hair. It's still temperament, and it's all suitable for OL uniforms, but that kind of dress is completely different from the painting style of Barod opposite.

There, Fiona carefully explained to Barrod what Ellington had to offer, a large part of which the dwarves had not seen in a long time. Or something rare that has never been seen before: cheap paper. Ceramic utensils, fresh fruits, fruit juices, sugar, refined salt, various staple foods, meat, etc., as well as various magical machines produced by Ellington. Such as magic energy kettle, water heater. Washing machine, fridge and so on.

As for Fiona's previous main product, the Magic Air Conditioner, there is not such a big market here - for humans, it may be very hot here, but for the underground dwarves, they have long been accustomed to the temperature here, and they feel very comfortable, if the temperature suddenly changes, they are not used to it.

"These are the main trade products we can provide, and of course, we can provide more goods if needed, but this will need to be slowly searched for by both of us in future trade."

After introducing the trade products that made Barrod excited, Fiona put forward Ellington's trade demands: "Then, as a trade party, our Ellington's trade demands on the underground dwarf side mainly include: various ores, including ordinary ores such as gold, silver, copper, and iron, as well as magical metal ores such as magic iron essence gold and mythril; All kinds of medicinal herbs and plants used in alchemy, especially those that are special to the earth, we are happy to buy; All kinds of gemstones, rubies, emeralds, topazes, sapphires, etc., as well as all kinds of magic crystals, standard and above, high-grade magic crystals or rarer magic essences, etc., etc.......

Fiona spoke freely, and after a pause, she added: "In addition, we also welcome all kinds of underground magical beast specialties, and all scales, bones, blood, or internal organs that can be used can be traded, as long as they are well preserved. We also very much welcome the dwarves on a sightseeing trip to Ellington......"

Then, Fiona took out another contract and said, "This is a bilingual contract in Rune and Dwarven prepared by our side, you can take a look at it, don't rush to reply, please think carefully before giving us an answer." ”

Barod took the contract and glanced at it, then said to Donn, "It seems that you are well prepared. ”

"That's nature."

"I will seriously consider your request and give you an answer in three days at the latest."

Barold got up, clapped his hands and said, "Come on, take the guests to the room to rest." ”

"Nope."

Tang En also stood up: "Our people are still outside, so we will find an open space outside and camp at any time, waiting for your news at any time." ”

"In that case, then not reluctantly, the earth is always beside us, my friend, may your beard grow forever like the tree of life."

"Let your kingdom be as vibrant as a hammer and a forge."

After leaving the palace, Fiona couldn't help but say, "My lord, I still don't understand why you are reluctant to put forward that condition......

After seeing the average strength of the dwarves, Fiona just wanted to draw up another temporary clause in the contract, as the two parties to the contract, Ellington could pay the dwarves and seconded soldiers from the dwarves if needed.

"Fiona, you're a business-savvy person, but you're a bit sluggish politically."

Don patted Fiona on the shoulder, "This kind of thing is very rare, even between the lords of the surface world and the principalities with which there is a very close relationship, not to mention that we don't even have a cooperative relationship with the dwarves of the underground. ”

"The transfer of soldiers means that the two sides are not defended against each other, and the secret is completely exposed in the eyes of the other party, in this situation, we cannot fully trust the underground dwarves, and the underground dwarves cannot fully trust us, and rashly proposing such conditions will only make the other side more vigilant."

Of course, Don understands Fiona's eagerness to increase Ellington's strength as much as possible, but many things can't be reached in one step, such as now, after the trade relationship with the underground dwarves is reached, if you want to completely integrate them into Ellington and be assimilated by Ellington's culture, if there are no Donn's various strategies, it will take tens or hundreds of years at the earliest.

Even with Donn's whimsy, it would probably take years for them to fully embrace Ellington.

If the two sides do not understand each other, it is already the best situation to keep their distance and conduct normal trade.

As long as Ellington can always maintain the leading level in culture, economy and technology, then sooner or later, the underground dwarves will be completely conquered and assimilated by this soft invasion, and become a part of Ellington.

"Your Lord."

When they returned outside, Uncle Depp and Locke had already organized the soldiers to set up tents in the open space outside the city.

"What's going on over there?"

Donn pointed not far away, where the adventurers seemed to be arguing with the dwarven soldiers, probably due to a language barrier, and the two sides were dancing and gesturing with each other.

Locke pursed his lips and said, "Those adventurers seem to have tried to cross the blockade of the dwarven soldiers and continue to explore the caverns ahead, but they were stopped. ”

Anyone else want to go deeper?

Tang En was very surprised, he was dragged here by the power of Cesar before, and now he has the opportunity to be reinforced, so he didn't hurry up to replenish food and water and hurry back home, he actually wanted to move forward, how afraid of death are these people?

"Some clever adventurers have begun to barter with the dwarves of the underground, planning to return to the surface and sell them to make the difference, but those who want to go deeper must be those who are not satisfied with the small profits they are making now."

Locke sneered: "Lord Lord, look at it, the people of the power of Cesar are next to them, they don't plan to rest at all after crossing the lava river, it is estimated that they will continue to go deeper if they have the opportunity, I don't know what the stimulus of Sisa is, the style of the entire mercenary group is not right." ”

As Locke said, the men and horses of the forces of Cesar were all gathered together, and although they did not show any hostility, the team that had been silent always exuded an eerie coldness.

Tang En was stunned for a moment: "Locke, isn't the Cesar Force mercenary group you knew before this cold and serious iron-blooded style?" ”

He thought that the power of Cesar had always been in this style.

"Of course not, if it's always like this, how can you deal with your employer!"

Locke spread his hands: "Although I am not qualified to deal with the power of Cesar, I have seen their people from afar, and they are quite decent." ”

Tang En glanced at the Cisar Power Mercenary Group and shook his head slightly: "It is estimated that the profit of this adventure is relatively large, so if you want to deter others and maximize the benefits." ”

"It's possible...... Hey? They acted! ”

As soon as Locke's words fell, the hundreds of centaurs of the power of Cesar set off, and their mighty actions immediately attracted the attention of all the adventurers around them, and also aroused the alarm of the dwarven soldiers, who drew their weapons and warned them loudly.

If it weren't for Donn's face, I'm afraid they would have done it right away - the combat power of the underground dwarves is really worthy of the power of Cesar and these mercenaries.

At this time, two people came out of the mercenary group of the power of Siza, one was a tall bald man in armor, and the other was a man covered in a black cloak, and they came to the dwarven soldier and talked in a low voice.

Locke pointed over there and said, "That bald man is the founder of the mercenary group, Sisa, and I don't know the black cloak next to him, but listening to the words of other adventurers, I'm afraid he is the mage hired by the power of Cesar." ”

Mage?

Tang En frowned slightly, in the elemental deposition environment, there was a strong magic power around him, and in this case, it was impossible to perceive whether he was a spellcaster or not through magic affinity.

A moment later, Cesar and the man in black went back again, and the mercenary group returned to where they had been.

It is clear that they were also denied.

Then Don saw Cesar and the men in black walking towards the city. (To be continued.) )
