Chapter 709

"I reject."

Ren's words made most dwarves confused, wondering what he refused?

Only Thorgreen knew his plan best. Unexpectedly, Renn saw through it at a glance, and immediately lost the calmness he faced with Kerstakin, but he remained calm on the surface, and persuaded: "Your Excellency, do you Don't want the allegiance of a king of the hill?"

"It's not something I'm thinking about." Ren replied indifferently.

Thorgreen's small calculation was very good, and his eyesight was also very good. He actually put the bet on himself, thinking that his strength was better than Kerstakin's.

As long as Kerstakin is defeated, the King of the Hill has no reason to refuse to go to the New World.

However, Wren doesn't want to do what Thorgreen wants.

The contract has been signed, and neither party can go back on it, but the contract does not stipulate that the head of the Three Hammers must be Kerstakin.

For Ren, the dwarves only need to fulfill the contract and send craftsmen to build the city, and the number of the Three Hammers is also sufficient. As for who will be the head of the regiment, and whether Kerstagin will be kicked out of the high mountain, this is something that the dwarf king worries about, and it has nothing to do with him.

Ren's indifferent attitude finally made Thorgreen anxious.

"Your Excellency, please think carefully about the overall cooperation between the two parties." Thorgreen lowered his voice, with a hint of threat.

Ren was unmoved, "Does the dwarf want to tear up the contract?"

The faces of the three kings on the platform changed. Magna was the king who cared the most about this cooperation and the owner of the lava castle. He quickly explained: "That's absolutely not the intention."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Kerstakin burst out laughing.

He pointed at Thorgreen with his finger, with mockery in his eyes, and his laughter was very carefree, and even his hostility towards Renn was eliminated. Instead, he admired him a little, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, the courage and integrity of the Earl, make me very happy." admire."

The dwarves in the palace also understood what was going on, and looked at each other.

Seeing that his plot was about to go bankrupt, Thorgreen's expression on his old face changed rapidly. After all, he didn't dare to turn his back on him, and asked urgently, "Your Excellency, how can you agree?"

He didn't directly say what he agreed to, but everyone present understood that he meant fighting Kerstakin.

Seeing Thorgreen's anxious look, the dwarf couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

They didn't believe that Renn's strength was stronger than Kerstagin's. The legendary high-ranking wizard and the king of the hill seemed to be only one rank apart, but they were actually very different.

They are both legends, so maybe they can take on a higher level challenge.

But the legendary challenge to the holy order is something that can only happen in dreams.

His Majesty Thorgrim had misread this time, and it was impossible for this young human hero to agree, otherwise he would be seeking his own death.

Just when the dwarf thought that Ren was going to refuse again, he heard Ren say:

"I have to pay more."

"What?" The dwarves were stunned for a few seconds, thinking that they had heard it wrong, and then there was a big uproar, their faces full of disbelief.

Thorgreen also froze, and then he was overjoyed.

He suppressed his true emotions and said tentatively, "One hundred thousand gold shields."

Ren sneered, this is sending beggars away! He finally learned how stingy the dwarves are when it comes to wealth. The majestic king of the mountain, the most powerful king of the hill, and the powerful man of the holy rank with a huge treasure, is he ashamed to say this price?

His disdainful expression made Thorgreen's old face blush. Fortunately, he hid it better. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "500,000 gold shields, what do you think, Your Excellency the Earl?"

Ren glanced at him, this stingy old guy!

"Five million gold shields." Ren didn't want to waste time, so he offered the price directly, and said, "Give me five million gold shields, and I'll sell them. If Your Majesty makes a counter-offer, I'll leave right away."

Thorgrim's eyes stared like brass bells.

"Five million gold shields!" He stared at Ren, his snow-white beard was raised with anger, he seemed to be more angry than Kerstakin for threatening the throne of the Broken Star clan, and he no longer cared about his own dignity in front of the dwarves. The king was majestic and screamed: "Why don't you go and grab it?"

The hundreds of dwarves in the palace were also dumbfounded.

Even Kerstakin was stunned.

Five million gold shields is a huge amount of wealth even for a dwarf who has been digging mines all his life and has huge wealth. The dwarves present were the wealthiest class in the kingdom, but the private property of most of them was less than a fraction of five million gold shields.

There are only a handful of dwarves who can spend so much money. Of course, the three dwarf kings must be included.

His Majesty Thorgrim has lived for more than 2,000 years and has been on the throne for nearly 1,700 years. He is currently the longest-lived dwarf in the world, and he is also the richest dwarf.

No one knows how much wealth Thorgreen owns, guess at least tens of millions of gold shields. But no matter how rich he was, if he took out five million gold shields at once, it would be tantamount to cutting off a large piece of flesh from Thor Green's body, almost killing him.

The more Thorgrim thought about it, the more angry he became, a terrifying aura of thunder and lightning emanated out, as if a dark cloud had enveloped it, the entire palace became dark, and tiny lightning bolts danced in the air.

Magna and Dan next to him involuntarily backed away a few steps.

The dwarves in the audience also felt suffocated, like a boulder pressing on the top of their heads. The huge pressure made their souls tremble and their bodies trembled.

Ren was in the midst of the turbulent waves, but he remained motionless like a rock.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Ren turned a blind eye to the berserk breath, and said calmly like a breeze, "If Your Majesty is unwilling to accept this price, you can refuse, but I will not lower the price."

This human is crazy!

When the dwarves saw that Ren insisted on asking the price, they all had the same idea in their minds.

Zoltan in the crowd was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and wanted to persuade Renn to apologize to His Majesty quickly, but his seat was too far forward, and he was so suppressed by Thorgren's breath that he couldn't breathe, so he opened his mouth with difficulty , I found myself unable to speak a word.

Suddenly, the terrifying pressure disappeared, and the dark clouds hanging over his head also dissipated.

"Fine, but you better win."

Thorgrim's words rang in the ears of the dwarves, not loudly, but it was like a thunderbolt that made everyone's minds buzzing, and Thorgrim said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, I will let you see wrath of a king."

His Majesty actually agreed!

The sky-high price of five million gold shields was only for one shot by Ren, and His Majesty Thorgreen actually agreed!

The dwarf was stupefied with shock and did not turn around for a moment.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." With a smile on Ren's face, he bowed slightly and said confidently, "If I lose, Your Majesty doesn't have to give me a copper liso."

Thorgreen nodded, his face softened.

Wow...

At last the dwarves in the palace burst into a cacophony of chatter, unable to believe what they had seen, and unable to comprehend the transaction. In order to keep Kerstagin away from the highest mountain, His Majesty Thorgrim pinned his hopes on a human who was only a legend, and he did not hesitate to pay five million gold shields, and this human agreed.

The dwarves had never seen such a bizarre thing in their life.

The two kings, Magna and Dane, also shook their heads again and again.

Only Ren agreed to his asking price with Thorgreen, without the slightest surprise. Dwarves are very fanatical about gold and jewelry, and love money very much. This is their nature, but dwarves are also a complex intelligent race and political animals.

In Thorgreen's eyes, the importance of the continuation of the kingship overwhelmed the possessive desire for wealth.

During these two days of contact, Renn found out Thorgreen's character and temper through the eyes of the soul, and the asking price of five million gold shields was also very accurate, just within Thorgreen's acceptance range, and only a little bit away. to his bottom line.

The anger shown by Thorgreen was just a disguise. He released his breath to suppress the audience, but in fact it was to lower the price.

Ren grasped this point and never let go.

Then, Solgreen found out that Ryan would not take this set, and the price reduction would not work, so he immediately changed his mind and agreed.

Outsiders don't know what's going on. As one of the protagonists, Kerstagin stared at Ren in a daze for a long time, and finally let out a sneer.

Thorgreen frowned, but did not respond.

Ren ignored the fierce reaction of the dwarves, looked at Kerstakin, and said loudly in the dwarf language: "Lord Kerstakin, I, Ren Augustus, challenge you, in Grimnir Under the witness of everyone, prove who is the strong and who is the weak."

Take people's money and eliminate disasters with others.

For the sake of five million gold shields, he had to be more proactive and use the name of Grimnir, the god of dwarf warriors, so that Kerstakin could not refuse the challenge.

Sure enough, Kerstagin nodded immediately: "I accept your challenge."

There was a snap.

Costakin turned into a flash of lightning and jumped from his seat to the middle of the palace, and said loudly: "Your Majesty Magna, please use the duel field in Lava Castle."

Magna hesitated.

He is not optimistic about Rennes. If Rennes and Kerstakin had an accident and died unfortunately, then the contract just signed would become a piece of waste paper.

However, things have progressed to this point, and it can no longer be stopped.

Magna sighed, and said helplessly: "Please move to the Iron Furnace Arena, I will let people prepare for the duel in half an hour."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Kostakin bowed and saluted, and walked out of the palace without looking back.

Hundreds of dwarves stood up, bowed to the three kings on the platform, and left the palace to get a good place in the arena.

In a blink of an eye, the palace was empty.

"Your Excellency, please follow me." Thorgreen said softly. He planned to tell Rennes about Kerstakin's strength before the battle, so that Rennes could be more confident.

Ren shook his head, "I prefer a fair duel."

Thorgreen was stunned for a moment, took a deep look at Ren, and finally nodded slowly: "Alright."

Within half an hour, news of the duel between Rennes and Kerstakin spread throughout Lava Fortress, and tens of thousands of dwarves poured into the Iron Furnace Arena located on the second floor of the underground fortress.

As its name suggests, Ironforge is shaped like a furnace magnified countless times. The arena was excavated from a complete giant rock. The arena is irregularly circular with a diameter of more than 300 meters. The ground, seats, and stands are all made of rocks. They are completely integrated. The texture is very hard and difficult to break.

In each of the four directions of the arena, there is a stone statue of a god believed by the dwarves, which is 100 meters high.

When Ren entered this ancient arena, the seats around were already half full, and more and more dwarves continued to enter the arena, and there was a din of people.

The appearance of the three dwarf kings in the stands elicited wild cheers.

A dwarf stood on the big field.

He is wearing a thick and exquisite rune armor. This armor is composed of multiple components. The huge shoulder armor is carved with warhammers and axes. Two huge curved horns extend from the helmet, facing forward and bending upwards. Like the horns of a devil, it exudes the power of thunder and lightning.

The iron-gray beard protruded from under the helmet, covering most of his body, but it couldn't hide the violent thunder and lightning aura.

Costa Gold Iron Beard!

He stood quietly, his eyes pierced through the gap in the helmet, and fell on Ren's body, which made Ren feel like a light was on his back.

Wren's slight nod to the kings sparked a heart leap.

In the next moment, he appeared in front of Kerstakin, and the two were about ten steps apart.

"If you give me half of the money, I can cooperate with you and let you win." Kerstakin's voice sounded in Ren's heart, and the meaning in the words made him dumbfounded.

Wealth is touching!

You thick eyebrows and big eyes are also fascinated by money, and you actually want to play fake matches.

Ren looked at the majestic Kerstagin, and the eyes of the soul confirmed that the other party was not fooling himself, but really wanted money, and he almost agreed.

He cast a message technique and asked in confusion: "Lord Kerstagin, are you willing to give up the throne of the king of the highest mountain for money?"

In this case, Thorgreen didn't have to ask himself to buy Kerstakin directly with money, and he didn't have to be the middleman to make a difference.

"Of course not."

Kerstakin's voice sounded again, and he said coldly: "Solgrin has always wanted to kick me out of the highest mountain. I am not his opponent now, so I can only bear with it. This old guy can live for three or four hundred years, When I arrive in the New World, I will have more opportunities, first accumulate strength, and there will always be a chance to return to the World Mountain Range."

Ren raised his eyebrows, it turned out that Kerstagin had changed his mind.

"How?" Kerstakin asked again, "The five million gold shields, we each have half, and you can still get my allegiance."

Ren resolutely refused: "Sorry, I can defeat you without your cooperation."

"Hmph..." Kostakin said contemptuously: "Young human beings, don't be ignorant. Maybe you are very powerful in legends, and you are a wizard with many means, but I am the king of the hill, and you have nothing to do with it." Chance."

"You won't know until you fight." Ren replied lightly.

"Don't expect me to keep my hand in the battle. If I kill you, I won't have to go to the New World." Costakin's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

This time Rennes didn't respond any more, which finally made Kerstakin lose his patience.

"Then let me see how strong you are!"

The King of the Hill shook his hands, and two weapons appeared in his hands, a warhammer and a giant axe, exuding a terrifying aura of power from his body!
