Chapter 367

Barrow's expression eased a lot, and finally he could see some smiles. After seeing the cans piled up in the warehouse and sorted by door, the heavy burden in his heart finally disappeared.

Accordingly, the attitude towards Donne has changed a lot.

Donne could clearly feel the change of Barrow's attitude before and after, and couldn't cry or laugh.

He is like those local tyrant players who forcibly use materials to smash the corresponding reputation from indifference to worship, but others use silk and wool, but he uses cans.

However, in Barrow's way, the 70, 000 tons of cans did not spoil prestige, but turned from cold to friendly.

Donne couldn't help touching his nose. Compared with the hospitable dwarves in forge hammer castle, the reputation of the underground dwarves can be regarded as a very difficult reputation to brush.

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

At this time, it was finally Fiona's home.

Thanks to barold's knowledge of rune, Fiona would be blind if she came - she didn't understand dwarf.

"Hello, the great king of the underground dwarves. I am the chief executive officer of the Lord and am responsible for all administrative matters of Ellington."

Fiona sat opposite barrow, briefly introduced herself, then opened the document in front of her, took out a few pieces of paper and threw them aside: "because I didn't know you knew Rune before, I asked Brian to help prepare an introduction book in dwarf language, but it doesn't seem to be necessary now. I'll talk to you directly..."

Standing next to her, Donne looked at Fiona with his arms in his arms. The blonde girl's temperament is very different from that when she first met. Although she is still the 20-year-old blonde girl, she is mature, steady, aware of the general situation and the major situation, and she is very clear about the priorities of things.

Even after she knew her enemy, she could put it down temporarily and take the development of Ellington as the first important task without distracting her energy. She is indeed a very rare talent.

Donne imagined in his mind that Fiona was wearing ol uniform with gold wire glasses, and then suddenly grinned. Whether it was her brilliant blonde hair or temperament, it was very suitable for OL uniform, but that dress was completely different from barold's painting style opposite.

Fiona carefully introduced to barrow what Ellington could provide, and a large part of them were rare things that the underground dwarves had not seen for a long time or had never seen: cheap paper, ceramic appliances, fresh fruit, fruit juice, sugar, refined salt, various staple foods, meat, etc., as well as various magic machines produced by Ellington, Such as magic hot kettle, water heater, washing machine, refrigerator and so on.

As for the main product magic air conditioner proposed by Fiona before, there is not such a big market here - for humans, it may be very hot here, but for underground dwarfs, they have already adapted to the temperature here and feel very comfortable. If the temperature suddenly changes, they are not used to it.

"The above are the main trade products we can provide. Of course, we can provide more goods if necessary, but it needs our two sides to look for it slowly in future trade."

After introducing the trade products that excited barold, Fiona put forward Ellington's trade appeal: "Then, as a trade side, our Ellington's trade appeals for the dwarfs on the ground are mainly: all kinds of ores, including gold, silver, copper and iron, such as ordinary ores, and magic metal ores such as magic iron, gold and silver, and so on. All kinds of herbs used in alchemy, especially those on the ground floor, are all very willing to purchase; all kinds of precious stones, ruby, emerald, Topaz Blue. Gemstones and so on, as well as all kinds of magic crystals, above standard level, advanced magic crystals or more rare magic essence... "

Fiona said it with great eloquence. After a pause, she added: "in addition, we also welcome all kinds of underground Warcraft specialties. All scales, bones, blood or internal organs that can be used can be used for trade as long as they are well preserved. We also welcome underground dwarfs to visit Ellington..."

Then Fiona took out another contract and said, "this is a bilingual contract in Rune and dwarf prepared by us. You can have a look. You don't have to rush to reply at the moment. Please give us an answer after careful consideration."

Barold took over the contract, glanced at it and said to Donne, "it seems that you are well prepared."

"That's nature."

"I will seriously consider your request and reply to you in three days at the latest."

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

"No."

Donne also stood up: "our people are still outside, so we'll find an open space to camp outside and wait for your news at any time."

"In that case, it's not forced. The earth is always by our side. My friend, may your beard flourish like the tree of life."

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

After leaving the palace, Fiona couldn't help saying, "Lord, I still don't understand why you don't want to put forward that condition..."

After seeing the average strength of the underground dwarves, Fiona just wanted to draw up another temporary clause in the contract. As both parties of the contract, Ellington can pay seconded soldiers from the underground dwarves if necessary.

"Fiona, although you are very talented in business, you are a little slow in politics."

Donne patted Fiona on the shoulder: "the transfer of soldiers rarely occurs even between the Lords of the surface world and the principalities with very close relations, not to mention our cooperative relationship with the underground dwarfs."

"The deployment of soldiers means that the two sides do not defend each other and the secrets are completely exposed in the eyes of the other party. In this case, we can't fully trust the underground dwarves, and they can't fully trust us. Rashly putting forward such conditions will only make the other party more vigilant."

Of course, Donne understands Fiona's urgency to enhance Ellington's strength as much as possible, but many things can't rise to the sky step by step. For example, now, after reaching a trade relationship with the underground dwarves, it will take decades or hundreds of years to completely integrate them into Ellington and be assimilated by Ellington's culture without Donne's various strategies.

Even with Donne's ideas, it may take years for them to fully accept Ellington.

When the two sides do not understand each other, it is the best situation to keep a distance and carry out normal trade.

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

"Lord."

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

"What's going on over there?"

Donne pointed out that not far away, the adventurers seemed to be arguing with the dwarf soldiers, perhaps because of the lack of language, and the two sides were dancing.

Locke curled his lips and said, "it seems that the adventurers want to cross the blockade of dwarf soldiers and continue to explore the caves ahead, but they are stopped."

Anyone else wants to go deeper?

Donne was very surprised. He was dragged here by the power of Cesar. Now he has the opportunity to replenish. He doesn't hurry to replenish food and water. He hurried back to his house. He still wants to move forward. How afraid of death are these people?

"Some smart adventurers have begun to use their things to barter with the underground dwarfs, and intend to return to the surface and sell them to earn the difference, but those who want to continue to go deep must be those who are not satisfied with the small profits now."

Locke sneered: "Lord, look, the people of the power of Sisa are nearby. After crossing the lava River, they don't intend to rest at all. It is estimated that if they have a chance, they will continue to go deep. They don't know what stimulation Sisa has received. The style of the whole mercenary regiment is wrong."

As Locke said, all the men and horses of the power of Cesar gathered together. Although they did not show any hostility, the silent team always exuded a strange cold feeling.

Donne was stunned: "Locke, isn't the cissa force mercenary Corps you used to know this cold and serious iron blood style?"

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

"Of course not. If it's always like this, how can we deal with employers!"

Locke stalled: "although I'm not qualified to deal with the power of Cesar, I've seen their people from a distance. They are still in line."

Donne glanced at the mercenary regiment of Sisa's power and shook his head slightly: "it's estimated that the profit of this adventure is relatively large, so you want to frighten others and maximize their interests."

"It's possible... Eh? They're moving!"

As soon as Locke's voice fell, hundreds of men and horses of Sisa's power set off. Their mighty action immediately attracted the attention of all adventurers around, and also aroused the vigilance of the dwarf soldiers. The dwarf soldiers pulled out their weapons and warned them loudly.

If it weren't for Donne's face, they might have started at once - the fighting power of the underground dwarfs is really not worth the power of Sisa, these mercenaries.

At this time, two people came out of the Sisa force mercenary corps, one was a tall bald man in armor, and the other was a man covered in a black cloak. They came to the dwarf soldiers and whispered to each other.

Locke pointed to the other side and said, "that bald man is Sisa, the founder of the mercenary regiment. I don't know the black cloak next to him, but I'm afraid he's the mage hired by Sisa's power according to other adventurers."

master?

Donne frowns slightly. In the element deposition environment, there is strong magic around him. In this case, it is impossible to perceive whether he is a caster through magic affinity.

A moment later, Sisa and the man in black went back, and the mercenary regiment returned to the previous place again.

Obviously, they were rejected, too.

Then Donne saw sissa and the man in black walking to the city under the guidance of the guards.
