Cook knew that Sia and Connie had a grudge against themselves in their hearts, the dwarf king, what kind of storage was that, Cook said with a smile: "Isn't there nothing I can do, I can't just give up the city like this, won't anyone be able to bully me in the future, this kind of thing can't start." β
Sia sighed and said, "Cook, are we still using it to build up a huge strength?" β
Regarding Sia's statement, Lina first disagreed and said: "Sia, what you said is not right, once what we have is discovered, we don't have strong strength, and we are afraid that our fate will be even worse." β
Connie saw such a scene on the side, and immediately opened her mouth to persuade: "Okay, okay, things have happened, Cook's handling this time is actually completely correct, if it were me, I wouldn't have thought of such a good way." β
When Cook heard Connie say this, he immediately said that Cook's heart was upset, and Cook sat next to Connie at once, put his arm around Connie's waist and said, "Then you tell me why it's a good way, if you can't say it well, see how I punish you." β
After saying that, Cook gave a wicked smile, Connie snorted, and then said, "First of all, this challenge, whether the dwarf king takes it or not, he has already lost." β
"What kind of dwarf king is the existence zΓ i, take the challenge, some people say that the dwarf king bullies the small, and the dwarf king does not accept the challenge, then it will be said that the dwarf king is timid, and no matter what the competition takes, the dwarf king also loses, even if the dwarf king accepts the challenge and wins, in the position of the dwarf king, there is not much to show off, but be careful, in case you lose, tsk, this dwarf king is afraid that he will not have the face to see people. Connie spoke.
"Well said, reward one. Cook pouted lightly on Connie's lips and said.
"If you ask me not to say it, if you don't let me say it, I won't say it. Connie pushed Cook away angrily, as there were Sia and Rina watching.
Cook hurriedly made a surrender, and Connie said: "The most important thing is that this land proves that in fact, in the Holy Land, we occupy a borderless land, so the dwarf king passed this on to the dwarf chamber of commerce, and I think the dwarf chamber of commerce was also pitted by the dwarf king." β
"How do you say that? Cook didn't expect that.
"Look at the time when the news is announced, accept the challenge first, but order the dwarf chamber of commerce to obtain the certificate later, that is to say, this certificate must be had, and to obtain this certificate, how many knives will the dwarf chamber of commerce face. Connie said, pointing to the message.
Cook reacted when he heard this: "You deserve it." β
Connie looked at the information and said: "Actually, we can see from the intelligence that Cook has actually helped the dwarf king a lot this time, you see that the dwarf nobles who have been dealt with are all some old nobles, and the dwarf chamber of commerce dominates the circulation of goods in the entire dwarf, which is almost a monopoly." β
Cook and the others are talking and laughing here, and the Gnome Chamber of Commerce is bleak, the Gnome Chamber of Commerce has now been banned from operating, and all the shops have been temporarily seized, you must know that every day of this seal, the loss is too great, there are more than one hundred and twenty branches of the Gnome Chamber of Commerce in the Gnome Territory, not to mention those small trade points and the like.
This is all secondary, in the face of the proof demanded by the dwarf king, the scroll in front of the board of directors of the dwarf chamber of commerce is what the various races demand, the directors of the dwarf chamber of commerce are gloomy, and the chairman of the board of directors of the dwarf chamber of commerce is even more pale.
"I propose to hold the chairman of the board of directors accountable, and I dare to risk the name of the dwarf king to bring us a lot of losses, and all the people involved are sent to the mine, including their families. One of the directors said in a cold tone.
Another director sneered, "I just didn't expect our trusted chairman to do such a brainless thing." β
"Okay, let's start voting. One of the gnomes in charge of presiding over the board of directors spoke nonchalantly.
"Vote, vote, vote on what is on this, you come out. Another director said angrily.
The other directors all smiled bitterly and asked anxiously, "What should I do then?" β
"What should I do, auction off the family property of everyone involved in this matter, including the chairman of the board of directors, they don't have it personally, the family always has it. The director who had just spoken immediately replied.
"You, you, the family doesn't know ...... at all. When the chairman of the board of directors heard this, his face turned pale and shouted loudly, this is the rhythm of the nest.
"And our losses, if we can get some back, it's a few, without the support of the family, I don't believe these guys are so bold. However, some directors immediately reacted, there are several dwarf Confucian clans involved in this, and to get back the loss, it is said that something worth one ginter is the least than half a ginter.
"I agree. β
"I agree. β
Who didn't understand this unspoken rule, so the board of directors voted to pass the proposal by an absolute majority, but after the news of the board of directors was known by the dwarf king, the dwarf king sneered and said: "These bloody guys, ordered to go down, and there has been a new development in the case in the name of me, and the several families involved in this are sealed up for me first." β
The news of the gnome territory has caused the entire sanctuary to talk about it for half a year, and the Liberty City established by Cook has welcomed waves of guests, these people have come to see what Liberty City is like, and to see what Cook is like, but these people must be disappointed, because it is said that Cook retreats to study the subject of the challenge.
After several months of construction, the Liberty City has begun to take shape, first of all, the bridge has long been built, the winding mountain road, the sluice, and the tall city wall, the air defense fortress of the surrounding peaks has also begun to be built, the water channel of the sluice guΓ² pipe and the drop have pushed the hydraulic forging machine has reached three, the total tonnage has reached 2,000 tons, and the smelting crucible has been as many as four, this day is at least four tons of refined iron out of the furnace, two of which are refined pig iron, and the back is the refined iron, which is steel.
And the new type of hydraulic press is to stamp out a very beautiful variety of tableware, utensils, lamps, these things attract a lot of businessmen to buy, as long as these merchants issue a pass issued by the free city, in the territory of the kobold can be said to be unimpeded, of course, if you hire a few more kobold helpers, it will be smoother, and tens of thousands of kilometers from Cold Spring City to Liberty City, occupied by many humanoid creatures similar to kobolds, among which ogres, trolls occupy an absolute advantage, and these ogre trolls also built roads, there are many small stalls on both sides of the road, are managed by ogre trollsγ
This situation makes some businessmen have to turn around halfway because there are so many good things, and of course, these are small businessmen.
"Sir, we ogres and trolls have completed the construction of the road and the commercial operation has begun. Bagru grinned, you must know that under Cook's suggestion, a large number of roads were built by ogres and trolls, of course, there were some ogres at the beginning, and the troll tribe was disobedient, and was led by Bagru to charge thousands of ogre beast knights, and all those who resisted were sold, of course, it is conceivable that all the ogres were sold.
"Okay, I'll give you another 5,000 sets of equipment, and you can still grow food and hunt, but I'll still say that, safety first. Cook nodded in agreement.
"Master, can you give me some more mounts? Bagru asked, inch by inch.
"Alright, give another five hundred mounts. Cook nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, sir, sir, we also need some tools, we found two open veins. Bagru hurriedly thanked him.
"Bagru, in fact, you don't need to open the mine at all, you just take the two ore veins to those humans to mine, and you just charge a fee. Cook shook his head.
"How much can the fee be? Bagru asked, shaking his head.
"Stupid, I didn't let you give it to a human to mine, but several, and then charge according to the ore, like how much I charge for a cart ......of ore. Cook said with a face for education.
After listening to what Cook said, Bagru said with a blank eye: "Master, I don't understand, or you can send two dwarfs to help me." β
"Poof,. Cook heard Bagru's words and squirted out a mouthful of water.
The agreed challenge time was coming soon, Cook looked at the room full of people, all looked at himself, Cook said angrily: "I won't bring anyone this time, what are you doing with so many people, that's the dwarf king, you think you can do a big job." β
"Cook, are you sure. Sia asked.
"8% sure. Cook replied.
"Cook, be careful. Lina also instructed.
"I don't think the dwarf king will hurt me, but the dwarf king is afraid that something will happen to me, and he has to protect me. Cook said with a smile.
Cook saw that there were still people who wanted to say, so he said: "After I leave, Sia and Lina will be responsible for the establishment of the surrounding air defense fortresses, as for the weapons, you can give the list to Murphy, let Murphy be responsible for the purchase, remember the bottom line I said." β
"Vincent is still in charge of the army, and he must always pay attention to the information given by kobolds and ogres, with a focus on crocodiles in the underworld. Cook said to Vincent.
"Cook, don't worry. "Vincent now has three pieces of demonic equipment, one of which is a knight's shield, but the price Vincent paid is not small, that is, to follow the magician of Sia, because Vincent does not have enough materials and costs to build this shield, and the other is the helmet that Cook lent to Vincent, and Vincent has these three pieces, at least the invincible storage zΓ i at the same stage, as for the higher level, he can also fight for a while.
Seeing what Cook was about to say to himself, Brute Hammer immediately spoke: "We don't have a problem here, but we can't do without wine." β
"Well, I hope you don't get drunk and be thrown out by your wife. Cook scolded with an angry smile.
"Hehe, I'm going to get her drunk now. Brute Hammer said with a smile, and the people around him immediately laughed.
Connie was in charge of the city. Cook finally said to Connie.
In fact, Connie was still taking care of the construction of the intelligence system, and Cook looked at the kobold Holo again: "Holo, you kobold better not make trouble, you know." β
"Your Excellency, how can we kobolds make trouble now, we are very obedient. Holo said hurriedly.
"Bagru, those disobedient ogres, you see and deal with them yourself, the human slave market loves those majestic ogres very much. Cook said another word to Bagru.
Then Cook stood up and said, "All right, you just wait for the news of my victory." β
Cook took the golden light to drive the magic energy helicopter to the main city of the dwarf, the main city of the dwarf is more than 300,000 kilometers away from the free city, Cook's magic helicopter needs to fly to Cold Spring City, and then transfer to the spaceship of the dwarf clan, otherwise Cook will need at least more than a hundred days to fly.
Black Iron City, this is the main city of the dwarf clan, when Cook got off the spaceship, the first thing he saw was the tall chimneys, countless tall chimneys with black smoke, and everything around them was black, which was the dust from the fall of coal ash, the pungent smell in the air, and the dense pipes of different sizes and thicknesses on the streets.
"Knock knock. "A smoky vehicle sped down the road.
"Mr. Cook, this is our newest steam wagon in Steel City, which can travel fifty kilometers per hour, and can be driven only by water and fuel. The dwarf who led the team said triumphantly.
"And what about the pipes. Cook asked, pointing to the dense pipes.
"Oh, it's high-pressure steam from the steam factory, and there are water pipes, and the tap water is the water that flows out naturally when the pipes are opened, and we all use tap water in Steel City. The gnome who led the team explained in detail.
Cook was really shocked, Nima lived in such an environment, how many years, ten years, twenty years less.
"Then there's the gas, the gas that comes out of the smelter, and as long as you have the right utensils, you can do a lot of things when you light it, boil water, cook rice, heat ....... The gnomes babbled about the benefits of gas.
"Well, I think His Majesty the Dwarf King must want to see me. Cook asked, interrupting.
"Oh, our majesty has a lot to do, but I'll take you to ...... first. The dwarf said with an exaggerated expression.
"Bang. At this moment, there was a bang not far away, and then a white mist erupted.
"Oh my God, these damn merchants, with shoddy pipes, this is the fifth burst this month, damn profiteers, they should be hanged. The leading dwarf grummed.
Seeing such a scene, Cook touched his nose, wondering if it was time to push out the seamless steel pipes, as well as the pressure gauge, and the automatic pressure reducing device, to make these gnomes' money.
"Toot toot, toot toot. "A six-wheeled carriage-like thing beeped, and a group of gnomes, dressed in a kind of red, rushed straight to the site of the burst.
"These red vehicles are on the road, and the others have to back off because they are in charge of repairs. The dwarf was still babbling.
"Toot toot. A four-wheeled, antique car-like convoy came to a halt in front of Cook and the others.
"Oh shit, you're five minutes late, you guys who don't have a sense of time, our guests are laughing at us, you're wasting your time, you're wasting our lives, damn it. The gnome who had brought Cook to the Black Iron City cursed loudly.
"I'm sorry, sir, our car is blocked, the sewers over there are blocked, and the streets are full of. The dwarf who was driving looked down and explained.
"Oh, shit, damn it, go. "Cook finally got into the car, but this vehicle is obviously suitable for dwarfs to ride, and Cook has to be aggrieved and aggrieved in it.
Cook looked out through the small crystal window on the street, steam tricycles, steam four-wheelers, but there were still horse-drawn carriages and horseback riders, and there were not many people on the streets in general, but the vehicles were hard steel tires, and the stone-paved roads, Cook felt that this was a crime at all.
There was no welcoming crowd, and there was no one in charge, so Cook was left in the hotel, the windows of the hotel were also black, and the floor was also black, but there was hot water for bathing, running water, but the water had a strange smell, and the room was not small, and it was all built with iron plates, and it was said that this was the best room.
In Cook's eyes, this metal room is the garbage of the garbage, and of course, in the eyes of the natives of the Sanctuary, this is more nouveau riche than the nouveau riche, who uses fine iron to build the house.
The dwarf king asked condescendingly, "Luo Luo, how is our guest doing today?" β
"Majesty, majesty, our guests were stunned, their eyes widened when they got off the ship, I'm sure the hillbilly had never seen a metal city, and he stared out on the way to the hotel, and his eyes widened when he entered the hotel. "Lolo is the dwarf in charge of bringing Cook.
"Well, you go down to the venue to prepare for the competition first, I will make all those who dare to challenge our gnomes lose face, and they will feel ashamed to mention the names of our gnomes in the future. The dwarf king said proudly.
Luo Luo hurriedly bowed down and agreed: "Report to my king, we have prepared a venue that can accommodate 100,000 people, and we have sold 20 million Yin Tel for the ticket money alone this time." β
"Okay, okay, Luo Luo, you did a good job, you go and ask that hillbilly first, what materials you need to prepare. The gnome king spoke again.
"Yes, my king. "Of course Luo Luo knows what the dwarf king means, there are too many things that can be made in engineering, but what exactly is the challenge of Cook, the dwarf king doesn't know yet, that's why the dwarf king will tell you so.
Seeing Lolo asking himself, Cook pulled out a list: "That's what I need." β
"Metal, all metal. Luo Luo's engineering level is not low, looking at the list of materials given by Cook, he is completely puzzled.
"Well, it's just ordinary metal. Cook replied with a smile.
Just as Luo Luo and Cook were face to face, the door was pushed open: "Haha, I'm here to see if our human hero dares to challenge the dwarf king." (To be continued)
