Chapter 705

Ren suddenly realized that Solgreen wanted to take this opportunity to kick Kerstakin out of the mountain.

As the king, Thorgrim was watched by all the dwarves. Everyone knew that he was afraid of Kerstakin, and they also knew the significance of the Ironbeard clan to the dwarves. He could only bear with it, not daring to attack Kerstakin.

Moreover, Kestajin is the king of the hill and the rune lord, and is highly supported among the dwarves.

It is too difficult to physically get rid of the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Even Thorgreen wanted to protect Kestakin's safety. If something happened to him in the highest mountain, everyone would think that the king was a murderer, and he would never be able to wash it away.

"Is this Kerstakin doing anything besides announcing that he changed his surname to Ironbeard?" Ren asked.

"No." Zoltan replied: "However, after Lord Kestakin changed his surname, many dwarves also returned to the Ironbeard clan. In recent years, many Ironbeard dwarves have appeared in the five dwarf kingdoms, and the population has increased by several Ten times, it is said that there are already three or four thousand people."

Ren was thoughtful, and suddenly asked: "How long has His Majesty Thorgreen been in power?"

Just now, the eyes of the soul did not observe Thorgrim's age carefully. He roughly judged that he was over 2,000 years old, and he was already in his twilight years. His soul showed some signs of decline.

Hearing this question, Zoltan's expression changed slightly.

He hesitated for a few seconds before replying: "His Majesty Thorgreen ascended the throne in 856 of the new calendar. Before he succeeded to the throne, he had been promoted to the king of the hill for more than 500 years. It is said that he was born in the dark millennium. period."

Ren was speechless, and he was another old guy who had lived for more than 2,500 years.

Sol Green is about the same age as Master Ogulev.

Dwarves do not have the curse of blood and soul, and the age of the holy rank powerhouse is longer than that of the holy soul wizard, and they can live up to about three thousand years old.

Judging from this, Thorgreen's lifespan is only a few hundred years, or even shorter.

"Is there no other king of the mountain in the Broken Star Clan?" Ren asked in a low voice.

Zoltan shook his head: "No."

Ren was not surprised by this. Even though the dwarf's racial talent was far superior to that of a human, the probability of being born a king of the hill was still extremely low. In a clan, it is a blessing to have one king of the hill, and it is almost impossible to have two.

Thorgreen is the patriarch of the Broken Star Clan. As long as he is in power, the Broken Star Clan will be the royal family of the highest mountain, and their status cannot be shaken.

However, once Thor Green passed away, things changed.

The dwarves are also respected by the strong. Most of the previous kings were the kings of the hills. king.

There must be more than one king of the hill in the High Mountain Kingdom, and they may all be staring at the king's throne.

Yet other kings of the hill are far less of a threat than Kerstagin.

Even after thousands of years have passed, the Ironbeard clan still has a very high appeal. After Thorgreen's death, Kerstakin only needs to climb up, and the Broken Star clan has no king of the hill to compete for the crown of the highest mountain. Will definitely return to the Ironbeard clan.

With such a time bomb left in the highest mountain, it is estimated that Thorgreen will not be able to sleep at night.

So he thought of this trick and sent Kerstagin to the New World.

In the High Mountain Kingdom, no accidents would happen to Kerstagin, but in the dangerous New World, the same is not the case. In the event that Kerstagin died in the New World, this serious worry would be eliminated. Taking a step back, it would be easier to attack in the New World.

By the way, it can also solve the population crisis of the dwarf kingdom. If all goes well, the three kingdoms will use Gotham City as a springboard to embark on the road to revival.

This can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

The 3,000-strong dwarf army was the bait thrown by the other party, luring him to take the bait.

Ren hummed in his heart, thinking beautifully.

The bait released by the dwarves may be very attractive to others. An elite dwarf army is enough to sweep a small country, and almost no human noble can resist such a temptation.

But for himself, the Dwarf Legion is just icing on the cake.

Of course, the three dwarf kings allowed themselves to contact Zoltan, obviously knowing that the conditions were too harsh and they would not agree. This is their negotiating strategy, asking for the price, and then it is time to pay back the money by themselves.

Ren suddenly laughed, "Zoltan, in the eyes of His Majesty Thorgreen, which of these two things is more important, solving the hidden danger of Kerstakin or solving the population pressure?"

Zoltan thought for a long time, then smiled wryly, "I don't know."

"What about His Majesty Magna and His Majesty Dan? These two things are the same, which one is more important?" Ren asked again.

Zoltan immediately had an answer: "Naturally, it is to solve the population pressure of the dwarves."

"Hey..." Ren looked confident.

This is a disagreement between the three dwarven kings, and it can be put to good use.

He didn't go on talking, and shifted the topic to other things, talking about what happened to him and Roger in Jubilee Mountain City.

"Roger this guy..."

Zoltan sighed, "I received a letter from him entrusting his people to send it to Lava Castle. I have known him for so long, and I thought he would continue to wander. It's not very witcher-like to own a manor."

The dwarf's face was full of joy for an old friend.

"Master Roger deserves a wonderful home." Ryan also often received letters from Roger. Although the letters were just greetings and mentioned his living conditions in a few sentences, there was a trace of peace and leisure between the lines. , he is very satisfied with the present day.

Of course, the mention of playing cards is also indispensable.

Roger proudly announced that he is already the top All Souls player in Jupiler Mountain City, and has won the city's championship many times.

When Ren told Zoltan the news, the dwarf immediately couldn't sit still.

"What?"

Zoltan suddenly stood up, muttered a few times, and immediately decided: "Ren, after the negotiation between you and His Majesty the King is over, I will go to Jubile Mountain City to find Roger immediately, to dampen his arrogance and let him know , who is the best poker player in the world."

"Uh..." Ren was dumbfounded. Is playing cards really so important?

"Ren, are you coming?" Zoltan resumed his look at the Basil Hotel a few years ago, and said with anticipation: "When I beat Roger, I hope you can be there to witness it with your own eyes."

"If I have time, I will go." Ren smiled.

As his two best friends in this world, he would not refuse this request. Even if he couldn't leave, he could send a substitute there. It is still very convenient to teleport from Modu to Jubile Mountain City, and it takes half an hour to arrive.

Zoltan was overjoyed to hear Renn agree.

Ren sat at his home for a long time, drank half a bucket of Lava Fort dark beer together, got up and said, "Let's come here today, I should meet the three majesties."

"good."

Zoltan hiccupped, hesitation on his face.

Ren had sensed his thoughts a long time ago, and said with a smile, "If you want to ask, just ask."

The dwarf wiped off the foam from his beard, looked around twice subconsciously, and then asked in a low voice: "The thing in the Ironbeard Fortress... have you ever entered it again?"

Ren nodded slightly.

"I got it three years ago."

"Ah? Moradin!" Zoltan woke up instantly from his half-drunk, his eyes widened, "You already got Thor's Hammer? Where is it hidden?" His eyes searched all over Ren, but what? Neither was found.

"I left it at home and didn't bring it with me." Ryan replied.

Zoltan couldn't help being disappointed, and then he felt a little disappointed, and sighed: "I knew that you would definitely get it, but I didn't expect it to be so soon..."

Ren can understand his mood.

A legendary warhammer, and a clan treasure of the dwarves, Zoltan couldn't be without ideas. Even if he knew that he didn't have enough strength to get Thor's Hammer, he wouldn't give up on his own initiative, so he didn't tell the other dwarves about Thor's Hammer.

"But that's okay, you are the most suitable owner." Zoltan quickly let go of his entanglement, "Thor's Hammer can exert its strongest power in your hands, and for me, I have no regrets. "

Ren patted his old friend on the shoulder, "Thank you."

Without Zoltan, it is impossible for him to get Thor's Hammer.

Zoltan shook his head slightly, and reminded in a low voice: "You were right in not bringing Thor's Hammer to Lava Castle. In the past, the strength of the Ironbeard clan was declining, but now there is Lord Kerstakin. He has been looking for this warhammer for many years. .”

"I understand." Ren nodded.

Before leaving Zoltan's house, he remembered something and asked: "Zoltan, do you know the Bremet brass ring?"

"He is the youngest brother of His Majesty Magna. I have met him several times before." Zoltan replied, "However, it is said that he seems to have made some important archaeological discoveries, and he hasn't been back to Lava Castle for two or three years. .How did you know Bremet?"

"No wonder..." Ren touched his chin.

Back then Bremet left in a hurry, thinking he could see it in Lava Fort this time, but it turned out he was out.

"He is also my friend. Bremet did me a favor on the Sain Plateau before." Ren simply explained.

"If I meet Bremet, I will tell you." Zoltan didn't ask.

Zoltan escorted Wren to the gate, where there was a King's Guard outside, and they made way for Wren and the Ultramarines back to the Throne Palace on the fourth floor of the fortress.

Ren waited in the chamber for a while, and the three kings also arrived.

"Your Excellency." Magna sat down in the upper seat and immediately asked, "Have you considered it?"

"Yes." Ren nodded lightly.

Both Thorgreen and Dan unconsciously leaned their upper bodies forward slightly, staring at Ren. Under their gaze, Ren said calmly: "I have decided to withdraw my cooperation intention with Lava Fortress."

The expressions of the three dwarf kings were all stiff.

They originally thought that Ren would make their own demands, and the two sides went back and forth. After some arguments and discussions, they finally reached a compromise and got a plan that both parties were satisfied with.

Unexpectedly, Renn's live broadcast turned over the table and stopped playing!

The upright Dann* Iron Hand became impatient and threatened: "If you want to cooperate with the dwarves from Mithril Palace and Nine Peaks Valley, then I advise you to give up this idea. Without the consent of the Three Kingdoms, any dwarf will Not allowed to leave the World Mountains."

"Your Majesty Dan is worrying too much." Ren shrugged, "I am going to find a construction team in the Empire."

Now the other two kings couldn't sit still.

"There are no better craftsmen than dwarves in the world." Thorgreen said in a deep voice: "The Orienth Empire is very powerful, but in terms of building construction, it is much worse than us dwarves."

Ren was unmoved and replied, "Your Majesty, times have changed."

If it were placed more than 400 years ago, the construction industry of the empire was indeed far inferior to that of the dwarves, and the level and experience of the two sides differed by more than eight blocks. But after the establishment of the Steam and Machinery Union, the productivity of the entire human race, especially the empire, increased by leaps and bounds.

The progress and development of these four hundred years is more than the sum of the past thousands of years.

The combination of steam power and magic has promoted the construction industry of the empire to flourish, and absorbed the strengths of elves, dwarves and other ancient races, and is now not weaker than its predecessors.

Maybe the construction quality is not as durable as dwarves, and there is a gap in construction speed.

But in other respects, the construction workers of the empire are not bad at all, and they can give full play to the advantages of machinery and magic, and they are more in line with their own city building needs.

The reason why Ryan chose to cooperate with the dwarves.

One is to take a fancy to the experience of the dwarves, and the wages are relatively low.

The second point is that he is unwilling to let the power of the empire participate in the construction of Gotham City, which can avoid a lot of trouble.

If the dwarves thought they were sure of themselves and the lion opened his mouth, they were wrong.

He would rather spend more money than plant hidden dangers for the future Gotham City.

The three dwarf kings were caught off guard.

They didn't expect Rennes to refuse at all. An elite dwarf army of 3,000 people didn't seem to have any attraction for Rennes.

Ren stood up directly: "Your Majesty, take your leave."

"Wait!" Thorgreen said.

Magna also stood up, and asked to stay: "Your Excellency, please stay." Dan *Tie Shou's face was blank, and he still hasn't recovered.

Ren's eyes fell on Magna's face, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, is there anything else?"

Magna took a deep look at Ren, and found that Ren didn't seem to be retreating, as if he really decided not to cooperate, and finally lost, and said: "Your Excellency, please don't be so impulsive, Lava Castle There is tremendous sincerity in this project and hopefully we will be given another chance."

"Sorry, I don't see any sincerity." Ren's attitude remained firm.

He had already figured out the details of the dwarf, and the other party thought there was something to talk about, but in his own opinion, there was nothing to talk about at all.

This is my project, my city, and my money. I am Party A's father!

What qualifications do you have to propose conditions to me?
