"The master wants to see you! No guards, you're the only one. Nesses came to the makeshift camp of the gray dwarves and explained his intentions directly, ignoring the nervous expressions of the guards, just staring at the caravan leader playfully. The more tangled the other party's expression, the more interesting she felt, full of evil like all demons.

Carrig stood there and hesitated for a long time, then finally gritted his teeth and nodded, "Please lead the way, ma'am." ”

Underground, such private meetings are usually accompanied by intrigue and assassination, and one careless person can lose his life. If it weren't for the fact that Henry and his party were stuck in the road ahead, he would never have taken this risk.

In this way, without a second option, the leader of the caravan followed the succubus into the hut unhurriedly. All the gray dwarf warriors present clenched their weapons, and as long as there was any unusual sound from inside, they would rush in to the rescue without hesitation.

However, this tense situation did not last long, and when Carrig saw the people cooking in the room, his hanging heart immediately relaxed, and his tense face showed a hint of a smile.

Obviously, as a merchant who traveled from north to south, he recognized at a glance that most of the people present were human and half-elves and other surface dwellers, except for one dark elf, and basically did not pose much of a threat.

Nesses walked quickly to Henry and bowed slightly: "Master, I have brought the guy you wanted." ”

"Very well, it's none of your business here." Henry nodded slightly.

He had a large number of gray dwarf craftsmen under him, so even the character of these guys pointed directly to a flat stone in front of him: "Sit down." I guess you must be confused right now, right? ”

Carig didn't dare to slack off. He immediately bowed and replied, "Yes." Your Excellency, Master. My caravan was stopped by your succubus servant. ”

He didn't despise Henry just because he didn't look underage. Because a succubus doesn't listen to a bad master. Generally speaking, only a caster above fifteen can deter this evil, cunning, petty evil creature, so it is especially necessary to be respectful.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your cargo. The reason why I came to you today is to do a business with you, of course, this business is a bit big, and it needs to take risks, I don't know what you think? With that, Henry sat down with a smile on his face, without urging. I was not in a hurry, so I waited quietly for a reply.

"Please...... Q, what business do you want to do? How big is it? How? What are the dangers? Carrig asked cautiously.

As a well-informed caravan leader, he even has a truth, that is, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to get something, you have to pay some price, and about this, in the dark area, Xiàn is extremely cruel, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will die without a place to be buried.

Seeing that the gray dwarf in front of him was so careful, Henry nodded with great satisfaction: "Yes, I like to work with cautious people. To put it simply. I need to use your caravan as cover to sneak into Uster. The city of Naza. The reward is that you get a trade route to the surface. Of course, if you prefer gold or magic items, I can pay for more than 100,000 gold coins at once. ”

"Earth...... Trade routes on the surface!!! When Carrig heard this, he became extremely excited, and his swarthy old face instantly appeared a pig's liver color.

There is a saying among the Grey Dwarf caravans:

If you want to make a fortune, it is enough to go around the city of the dark elves, where magic items, enchanted swords, and armor can earn more than ten times the difference in price at a time.

If you want to make a fortune, then you need to take the risk of selling slaves in the city of the Mind Snatcher, and the octopus heads don't care about money at all, they only care if the slaves are smart enough.

If you want to build a city of your own, you'll have to have a regular trade route to the surface, with endless food to eat and wine to drink.

It can be said that every underground merchant desperately wants to connect with the surface, and the grain trade alone is enough to make a small merchant earn more than sixty times the windfall profit in an instant.

Agriculture and animal husbandry in the dark regions have always been very backward due to the environment and various monsters, so the prices of meat, vegetables, fruits, grain, alcohol, and so on have remained high, and even soared five to ten times in the event of war.

In this cursed place, conflicts often occur not because of valuables such as ore veins and gems, but because of pastures and water. This is something that is really enough to sustain life, and it is worth fighting for and killing by all races.

Just ask how Kalig could not be excited when he heard such information all of a sudden, and how could he let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He tried desperately to calm himself down, but the blood in his whole body was boiling, let alone calming down, I was afraid that he couldn't even make his hands stop shaking.

Seeing that the gray dwarf was completely out of control, the corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile that was not easy to detect. He's getting better at taking my weaknesses and making the most of them in order to achieve his own ends, and he's many times better at using violence or magic than he used to be.

As the saying goes. How to control a country? It's very simple, first completely control its economy. How to air control zhì a family? Again, take control of its economic sources first. How to control a person? Let him eat yours, live yours, and use yours, and if you leave you, he will starve to death.

It is an eternal truth that the union of interests is always the most solid and solid alliance. For the sake of profit, father-killing enemies can cooperate with each other, and for the sake of profit, twin brothers can kill each other.

After so many years, Henry, who is in a high position, can realize this more and more. He could see the bloodshot eyes of the gray dwarf, hear the other man's heavy breathing, and even feel the heart beating violently in his chest.

Everyone in the room felt the strange atmosphere between the two of them, and they all looked here, and Aemond wanted to run over several times to ask for clarification. But they were all stopped by Jasila. She could clearly see that Henry was using the gray dwarf for some secret plan. So it didn't bother anyone.

A few minutes later. Carrig took a deep breath and said, "Your Excellency, you have won, and I admit that I can't resist this temptation. But before I can agree on an offer to work together, I need to know who you are, and where you stand on the surface, and I want to make sure you are qualified enough to make this kind of transaction. ”

"Hehe, very reasonable request. My full name is Henry." Angome, King of the Kingdom of West Hartland, may also call me His Majesty if you wish. My country includes south of Waterdeep. All the lands north of Am, with a population of millions, can provide not only enough food, meat, cloth, armor, and weapons, but also a large number of magical items, alchemy potions, scrolls, ......"

With a faint smile on his face, Henry introduced his country. Of course, he shamelessly included all the northern wastelands and forests that had not yet been actually included in his rule, and the population was also exaggerated several times, and he instantly fooled the gray dwarf merchants in front of him.

You must know that there is no concept of a state underground, and due to the inconvenience of transportation, most of them still maintain a city-state system. Every city has its own ruler. Due to food and water restrictions, the population of each city does not exceed 10,000. Many of them only remained at around 5,000 or even less, and a city with a population of 20,000 to 30,000 like the Dark Elves was already considered super-large, and the entire Dark Region would not exceed twenty combined.

Just as the turtles of Europe living in the Middle Ages could not imagine the wealth of the Celestial Empire during the Tang and Song dynasties, the inhabitants of the Dark Lands could not imagine how the creatures on the surface ruled over so many people and lands. Of course, even those kings and emperors on the surface are just some county magistrates and township chiefs in Henry's night, unless the other party has a very high professional level, they will not even look at it.

However, this qiē was shocking enough for Kalig, such a vast land, a large population, countless villages and fields, how much food could be produced, as long as one percent of it was divided, no, even one thousandth was enough for him to build an underground city of his own.

Thinking of this, his ambition was immediately provoked, and he did not hesitate to bend his knees and make a solemn kneeling salute: "Your Majesty, it is my honor to be able to serve you. Not sure how you're going to sneak into Uster. What is the city of Nazar going to do? ”

"It's very simple, I'll use magic to transform into the form of a dark elf and join your caravan as a mercenary. All you need to do is take me in, pretend to do some trade and leave, and the rest is left alone. As for what to do......"

Speaking of this, Henry's eyes suddenly burst out with two cold lights, and his whole body released a terrifying momentum, and he replied with a sneer: "I will use the most cruel method to kill every living creature in it, make these dark elves feel fear, helplessness and despair, and finally completely disappear the entire city from the ground." ”

Carrig swore that he had never seen such a terrifying human in his life, and that his unparalleled aura was even more terrifying than accidentally breaking into the black dragon's lair, like an underground volcano about to erupt, full of ruining power......

He was sure that the chaotic and evil dark elves must have offended the terrifying king in front of him, and as a result, they were chased to the dark region to take revenge. But what does it matter, as long as you take a cover, you can get the right to go to the surface to trade, and there is probably no more lucrative deal in the world.

"Your Excellency, allow me to wish you every success in this operation, and at the same time wish our transaction a smooth one." As he spoke, Carrig bowed his head again and bowed on his knees.

This time, it's not because of the status or the benefits that the other party can bring, but because of the power of the real thing, people with great power are always worthy of the awe of others, whether they are underground or on the surface.

Henry smiled and nodded, "Thank you, now it's up to you to tell me about the terrain around here, as well as Uster. Is there anything special to pay attention to in the city of Naza......" (to be continued......
