Chapter 706

"I don't see any sincerity." Ren turned around and left without any hesitation.

He did advance by retreating, and used this trick to show his attitude, but he didn't pretend to be completely. If the dwarf couldn't show enough sincerity, he would really look for a construction team in the empire.

"You can't go!"

Dan's iron hand was so anxious that he blushed, blocked Ren's way with his body, and blocked the exit of the meeting hall.

Ren stared at him coldly, "Is this how dwarves treat guests?"

"Uh... no!"

Dan knew he was in the wrong, and he couldn't think of a reason to keep Ren for a while, so he rushed up to block the way in a hurry, and then realized that he had lost his composure, and his face was full of embarrassment.

"Your Excellency." Magna hurried up to make a rescue, and apologized: "Dan has no malicious intentions, he just wants to reach a cooperation too much. Please forgive Dan's rudeness, Your Excellency." Then he winked at Dan , Dan shrugged back.

Ren snorted, "I thought His Majesty Dan wanted to force me to stay."

"No, no." Dan shook his head again and again.

"Your Excellency, please sit down, and I will show you the sincerity of the dwarf." Magna's face was solemn, but also full of sincerity.

Ren nodded and sat back in his seat.

He looked at the three dwarf kings in front of him, and observed their emotional changes with the eyes of the soul to distinguish their attitudes. The one who reacted most violently to his withdrawal of cooperation intention seemed to be King Dann of Dufeng, but in fact, it was Thorgreen who really reacted the most.

The white-bearded old dwarf didn't speak for a long time, and he couldn't see it on the surface, but the color of his soul changed violently like a big dye vat.

Compared with Thorgreen, Dan Iron Hand is like a stunned young man.

Magna is the most calm, has remained calm.

The three kingdoms are all facing a population crisis, so the interests of the three kings are roughly the same, and they want to solve this problem. But Thorgrim was more eager than the other two kings, because he wanted to kick Costakin Ironbeard out of the High Mountain Kingdom and eliminate the threat to the Brokenstar clan.

The three goals of the dwarves, solving the population crisis, kicking out Kerstakin, and recovering the New World, are in order of importance.

Ren had already thought it through at Zoltan's house.

"Your Excellency," Magna and the two kings looked at each other, nodded slightly, and said, "We are willing to increase the number of dwarves to five thousand. In addition, the reward for building Gotham City can also be reduced appropriately... ..."

He was interrupted by Ren before he finished speaking: "Is this your sincerity?"

"This is just a preliminary condition, and we can talk about it again, I think..." Magna bit the bullet and continued.

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think." Ren looked impatient.

His domineering attitude made the three dwarf kings angry. As kings, they had never met such a rough person, but they had to bear it. After staring at each other for a few seconds, Thorgreen finally said, "Then tell me about your request."

Ren had already thought of everything.

He stretched out a finger: "First, I can accept dwarves as residents of Gotham City, but dwarves must abide by Gotham's laws, and they have no privileges like other residents."

Dan Tieshou's expression changed and he was about to get up to refute, but Magna held his shoulder.

Ren seemed to have not seen Dan's actions, and said indifferently: "This is my bottom line. There will never be any outlaws in my city. If you don't accept it, then nothing will be discussed, and I will leave immediately."

Extraterritorial jurisdiction must not set a precedent.

The three kings were very helpless when they saw that his expression was serious and he did not give any room for discussion.

The meeting hall was silent, and the three kings all showed contemplative expressions. After a long time, Thorgreen slightly nodded towards Magna, expressing his agreement. Dan was also helpless, he patted the table and held back his words.

Magna said solemnly: "Your Excellency, the dwarves will accept the laws of Gotham City."

"very good."

Ren nodded expressionlessly, "I will allow a dwarf area to be set up, but the area must not exceed one-twentieth of Gotham City, and the location is up to me."

"Anywhere is fine, but the area is too small." Magna shook his head and said it was unacceptable.

"It's not small." Ren disagreed, "Gotham City will be able to accommodate a million people in the future, and one-twentieth of the area can accommodate at least 50,000 dwarves. If it is crowded again, make a good plan, and live in 100,000 Dwarves are no problem."

One hundred thousand dwarves...

The three kings were secretly delighted. If one hundred thousand dwarves could be moved to the New World, the pressure on the underground fortress would be greatly relieved.

However, before they were happy, Ryan said again: "Every dwarf who lives in Gotham City must be registered to become a legal resident. The first batch of dwarf residents cannot exceed 20,000 people. Every five years in the future, I will Increase the number of dwarves based on Gotham's population."

Magna immediately objected, "20,000 places are not enough, at least 50,000 are needed."

"Not even one more."

Ren didn't let go at all, and asked instead: "In the early days of the city's establishment, the population of Gotham City may be less than 100,000. If half of them are dwarves, is Gotham my city or the city of dwarves?"

The eyes of the three kings were a little unnatural.

In their hearts, although they knew it was impossible, they never thought about making Gotham a city dominated by dwarves. Now that Rennes said it outright, it is hard to avoid embarrassment.

"Okay, then 20,000." Magna agreed.

The underground fortress can last for more than ten years. First, 20,000 dwarves will be relocated, and then gradually increase, which should relieve the population pressure. Anyway, Gotham is just a springboard. After exploring the situation in the New Continent, you can try to build a city belonging to the dwarves. 20,000 dwarves are enough to complete the pathfinding mission.

Ren had guessed the dwarf's plan and didn't care about it.

Whatever the dwarves wanted to do in the New World in the future, they couldn't do it without their own support. Do you really think that the New World is so easy to recover?

Netif demons, abyssal demons, and undead from natural disasters, which one is easy to provoke?

When the dwarves suffer heavy losses, they will naturally ask for it on themselves.

Ren sneered in his heart, looked at King Magna, and asked, "Your Majesty Magna, you just said that the dwarf army can increase to five thousand?"

"Yes." Magna had already expected what he was going to say.

"I agree to this condition." Ren nodded, and said unceremoniously: "Five thousand dwarf legions, they must occupy the legal quota of five thousand dwarf residents."

This was originally a loophole.

The Dwarf Legion is loyal to Rennes, and Rennes is responsible for their daily life, eating and drinking, weapons and equipment, etc. They are regarded as Rennes, and they do not occupy the quota of dwarves by default.

Unexpectedly, Renn directly plugged this loophole, so there are only 15,000 places left.

Send a powerful army, but also occupy the quota!

This made the three dwarf kings so angry that they felt like fools, giving benefits for nothing and hurting their own interests.

"no!"

Dan* Iron Hand shouted and said angrily: "The Dwarf Legion was cultivated by us with countless energy and wealth, and its strength is much stronger than the extraordinary human legion. In a dwarf kingdom, there are only a few legions with a size of ten thousand people. ..."

"I don't want to hear these reasons." Ren was unmoved. "This is what you put forward yourself. Doesn't the so-called 'sincerity' count?"

Dan was instantly annoyed.

The faces of Thorgreen and Magna were also ugly, and Magna said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, there is no negotiation like yours, right?"

"We are not negotiating, but discussing a business. If you can't accept it, you can stop at any time. Anyway, I have nothing to lose." Renn has an indifferent attitude of "negotiating but not talking".

This is the most terrible place.

The three dwarf kings were like snakes pinched seven inches, finally realizing their passivity.

Ren's soul eye noticed that their minds were wavering, and he further persuaded: "Two thousand dwarf legions will be shared among the three kingdoms, and each kingdom will draw more than 600 dwarf fighters. It shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Sure enough, the opposition of the three kings softened.

They discussed in a low voice, and quickly reached an agreement, and the representative of Magna spoke: "Five thousand dwarf legions, we agree. However, Your Excellency the Earl must be responsible for all expenses of this dwarf legion, and there must be no abuse. "

"This is natural." Ren solemnly promised, "In the name of the goddess of magic, I will treat the other legions under my command, and the dwarf legion will also receive the same treatment."

The looks of the kings softened.

After taking the oath, Ren continued, "I have one last request."

"Why?" Dan's iron hand narrowed his eyes.

Ren ignored him and said calmly: "The remuneration for dwarf craftsmen to build Gotham is halved, and the cost of the dwarf area will still be deducted from Lin's remuneration."

Before the words fell, the three dwarf kings couldn't sit still.

They stood up abruptly, staring at Ren as if they were about to burst into anger. For dwarves, the importance of gold and gemstones is second only to the belief in gods. The reward for building Gotham is at least 10 million gold shields, and may reach 30 million gold shields. Minus half, it is simply killing the dwarves!

Thorgreen, who was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "This is impossible."

"A golden shield, too!" cried Dan.

"Your Excellency, do you want to be recorded in the 'Book of Great Hate'?" Magna stared at Ren, completely different from his previous calmness.

In the third era, there was a legend who, relying on his strength, refused to pay back the money owed to the dwarves and maliciously reneged on his debts. Although the value was only equivalent to a few gold shields, the dwarf who was owed the money wrote the other party's name in the book of hatred of the clan in a rage. After hundreds of years, generations of people worked tirelessly to collect debts and finally recovered. After returning the principal and interest of hundreds of thousands of gold shields, plus the debtor's half life, the name was crossed out from the book of hatred.

Wren had heard the story.

However, in the face of the wrath of the three kings of the hill, he remained motionless.

"Nothing is impossible." Ren crossed his arms and said lightly: "I said before, this is just a business, you don't have to accept it, and all the terms you negotiated can be voided."

Today, let these dwarves see the power of Party A's father.

If you want to earn my money, you have to obey me.

"Why do you think we will agree to such a harsh request?" Thorgreen was furious, and his snow-white beard was blown up.

Ren spread his hands and shrugged, "Because you need me more than I need you."

After speaking, he stood up.

"I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. Don't wait until it's too late." Ren dropped this sentence, turned and walked out of the conference hall.

Looking at Ren's arrogant back, Dan's iron hands wished he could take out his battle axe and hack him to death, but when he thought of the holy soul wizard behind Ren, and there were more than one, he could only hold back, his chest heaving sharply as if pulling in the bellows.

Thorgreen and Magna looked at each other.

They finally realized how powerful Ryan was, and at the same time felt a sense of powerlessness.

Indeed, as Ryan said, they need to reach a cooperation. The population crisis of the three underground fortresses is imminent. Rennes' city construction plan is their only life-saving straw. If this opportunity is missed, a tragedy will erupt among the dwarves in more than ten years.

"I can't promise him." Dan said angrily, "We can find a way by ourselves."

Magna glanced at him, "What way?"

Dan was momentarily at a loss for words.

Since a hundred years ago, they realized that the population of dwarves was too large, and they have been looking for a solution. They sent many dwarves to find a suitable place to migrate, and even went to other planes, but found nothing.

Either the environment is harsh and uninhabitable, and it is also suitable for digging underground fortresses, or it is already occupied by powerful races.

There are masters in most areas of Allenius.

Although the population of the dwarves has recovered, it is limited to the three major kingdoms. The overall strength of the whole family is much worse than that of the third era, and it may not even be one-tenth. The number of top powerhouse kings of the hill is not enough, and it is difficult to compete with those powerful races.

Relying on humans to regain the New World is the best way out.

"That's more than 10 million gold shields!" Dan En was very unwilling, and his heart seemed to be bleeding.

Magna shook his head slowly. He was also reluctant to part with such a huge wealth, and sighed: "After all, the treasure is not as important as the lives of the people. If we can gain a firm foothold in the New World, we can earn more wealth, far more than 10 million gold shields .”

"But..." Dan tugged at his beard.

"There is no need to fight any more." Thorgreen's face was solemn, as if he had made some important decision, and said in a deep voice: "We don't lack these tens of millions of gold shields, so we must agree to him."

"Solgrim, are you afraid that Kerstagin will stay in the highest mountain?" Dan said without hesitation.

Magna's face changed drastically, "Dan, shut up!"

"That's right." Thorgreen didn't deny it, and said frankly: "I don't want to kill Kerstakin, but if he stays in the highest mountain, I'm afraid I can't help but do it. Kerstakin is the one I think Growing up, he is still the rune lord and has made great contributions to the clan, so why does he want to return to the Ironbeard clan..."

Both dwarf kings were silent.

After a long time, Magna reminded: "A quarter of an hour is almost here. Both of you, it's time for us to make a decision."

"I agree." Thorgreen said immediately.

Under the staring eyes of the two kings, Dan Tieshou hesitated and struggled for half a minute, and finally nodded, "Okay, I also agree."
