The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 848 Dwarf Envoy
  "Mr. Hamar, have you had a good time in our town these days?"

The bugbear warlock Orenzi has a wise and cold aura, which is completely different from the rough and wild temperament of ordinary bugbears. The dwarf messenger Hamar, who is several heads shorter than him, was impressed by him after several days of contact. .

"Of course I'm happy, but the drinks in your town don't taste refreshing enough. Compared to your food, it tastes a little worse!!"

The dwarf named Hamar has a thick and long beard on his chin, which is carefully woven into several delicate braids. As the square-faced dwarf shakes his head, the braids are constantly swaying.

Because dwarves have been dealing with forging and flames for many years, they like to drink ale and beer that have been shaken by ice to relieve fatigue and heat in their spare time.

Compared with the drinks in the dwarf kingdom, the drinks in Green Lake Town are either just used as decorations for meals, or are low-quality products for adventurers to kill time. They are definitely inferior.

"Of course, the wide variety of delicacies in Green Lake Town really opened my eyes. I didn't expect that an ordinary ingredient would have infinite flavors in the hands of the chefs!"

"After returning home this time, I must write to the king to ask my dwarf children to visit Green Lake Town more often and learn your magic cooking skills of turning decay into magic."

"When the time comes, I hope Mayor Orenzi will take care of it and don't be reluctant to part with those magic dish recipes!"

During these few days in Green Lake Town, the dwarf Hamar gained a lot. The strength and heritage of the wilderness tribe of Green Field also refreshed his inherent understanding of the wilderness time and time again.

After truly experiencing it in Green Lake Town, he finally understood why the bishops of the Dwarf Temple strongly requested the kingdom to send envoys to make good friends with this newly rising neighbor in the south.

The reputation of magical dishes has spread across the two continents. With Hamar's status and power, he has naturally been exposed to it for a long time, and has personally tasted and experienced its magical properties. But after arriving in Green Lake Town, the birthplace of the Magic Kitchen system, Hamar gained a deep understanding of its influence.

Green Lake Town was originally a tribal settlement with a single race, and because it was located in a remote and barren area, except for the occasional merchants passing by, even adventurers Dou rarely appeared here over the years.

But now looking at the population and race of Green Lake Town, except for their goblin clansmen, almost all races in Feynman’s world can be seen here: elves, humans, orcs, dwarves, and ogres.
  The number of these foreign people is not low, but Hamar's rough estimate is that it is about 100,000, and this does not include those who are active in surrounding satellite villages and towns and go out on adventures to collect.

So many outsiders, most of them come here for magic dishes and magic chef recipes. Some people come here to study and study magic dishes, while others bring the collected ingredients for the special effects of a certain dish, which may help them break through. , supplies, come for help
  In addition to magic dishes and magic chefs, Green Lake Town also has other outputs that make the dwarf Hamar shine, and that is food.

Dwarves are good at finding and mining mineral veins, and smelting metal to cast equipment. Therefore, they put most of their energy on casting, but they do not have much specialization in other aspects of livelihood such as farming and weaving.

This is also one of the reasons why large-scale trade between continental plates can prosper. Before the flames of war enveloped the two continents and the Mansha Wilderness, the dwarves sold the equipment and artifacts they forged in exchange for other things they needed. People's livelihood supplies.

But as the flames of war ignite in the Heron continent, the biggest threat next door is also about to start. The north-south trade channels are already showing signs of being cut off, which means that the dwarves may be short of many people's livelihood supplies in the future. .

Naturally, there are a lot of elves next door who are extremely malicious and threatening to the dwarves, but the dwarf leaders are not stupid enough to continue trading with them. Since the last time the two sides fought, the two clans have completely cut off contact. .

Mansha Wilderness is peaceful and safe, and people's livelihood has not been greatly affected. However, the wilderness itself has a single output, backward production methods, and lack of self-supply, let alone selling to outsiders.

The dwarves have been dealing with stones and metals all year round, and their living environment is often not suitable for planting and grazing. Now that the Elf Kingdom is about to move, they naturally have to prepare for it.

For example, in terms of food, meat and medicine supplies, the frontline soldiers consume a lot of money. If it only meets the needs of the army, the dwarf kingdom will not be completely self-sufficient, but there will inevitably be shortages among the people of the kingdom, which will cause riots. Even worse for the kingdom.

The kingdom has actually been trying to solve people's livelihood problems in recent years, such as encouraging farming, allowing tribesmen to develop livestock on the ground, etc. However, for countless years, the kingdom has been dedicated to casting and mining, and a large amount of land has been polluted by waste residue and heavy metal wastewater. Even with the magic The magic can purify and improve the land, but the heavy metals that have accumulated for a long time and penetrated tens of meters can not be easily removed.

But it is unimaginable that the current Green Field tribe has no other special products, but a lot of basic magic plants and food resources. Although it may not be able to supply such a large kingdom now, Hamar sent people to Green Field. After walking around Lake Town, there is still a large area of ​​land that can be developed in this area. If it is developed, it will be a good benefit to the kingdom.

At least, this can be regarded as a channel to alleviate the crisis, right?

Originally, Hamar's visit to the Green Field Tribe was more due to the kingdom's request and the plans of many friends to take multiple paths. However, he did not expect that in just two or three hundred years, the northern part of the Mansha Wilderness would change completely. It was beyond his expectation.

The once barren, poor, and lifeless Gobi beach has now turned into a fertile land with vibrant scenes everywhere.

The Green Field Tribe, which was once so weak that it had no sense of existence and could not be known by big figures like Hamar and others, has now transformed into the most powerful existence in the North, and its tribe's population size has even reached the level of a super-rich tribe. appearance.

In other words, there are generally large tribes in the Mansha Wilderness, and their population has long hovered around two to three million people. Naturally, this strength will not be noticed by the dwarf kingdom, but a potentially super large tribe with a population that will soon reach one million, That's worthy of the attention of the dwarf's top brass.

Not to mention that there are several other large and medium-sized tribes united around the Green Field Tribe, forming a camp force that cannot be underestimated, which is enough to make people look at them in a different light.

The long-term contempt for the northern wilderness has caused the top leaders of the dwarf kingdom, including Hamar, to ignore the northern tribes who are not far away. Until now, Hamar personally came to the territory of the Green Field Tribe to witness with his own eyes the progress of this neighbor over the years. After developing, he belatedly realized that the Green Field Tribe and the Ring of Thorns it commanded might actually become allies that would provide some help after the Elf fought with his lover.

Don’t forget, there is also a powerful Hosea Drow Federation in the north. They have developed smoothly in the territory from Cold Wind Ridge to Bonn City in recent years. Although the reproduction of Blade Edge is slow, it is not bad. The tribesmen brought along by migration also included vassals and slaves, and the total size exceeded one million.

The most important thing is that the drow race has amazing talents. Even ordinary drow have at least level 7-8 strength. Especially in magic and shooting, they have natural advantages and can be called an excellent fighting race. At that time, the dwarf kingdom also won over the underground exile races of gray dwarves and drow, which allowed them to suffer fewer casualties during the war with the elven empire and have more confidence to continue.

Now that the war is about to break out, the senior officials of the Dwarf Kingdom will not forget about this group of drow who have come to live on the ground. This is also one of the important goals of Hamar's visit south this time.

"Please rest assured, Sir Hamal, as long as your kingdom sends students, our tribe will definitely teach them with all their strength and make them successful in their studies!"

Orenzi patted his chest and seemed to agree boldly, but then he changed the subject: "But we also have a small request. We hope that Lord Hamar can have a nice word with His Majesty King Gray Sumeru after he returns. sentence."

"Let's talk and listen. As long as I can help, I won't refuse."

"Thank you sir first for taking me!"

Orenzi smiled brightly and quickly stopped her words: "We all know that the dwarves' forging skills are world-famous and coveted."

"As for our Green Field Tribe, we have actually discovered our own mineral veins and have people who specialize in forging. However, we have always suffered from the lack of good teachers and friends. The forging skills of this tribe are really unsightly."

"So, if it is possible, I wonder if the forging talents of my tribe can go to the kingdom to study forging?"

"Alternatively, the kingdom can arrange for a group of suitable blacksmiths to come to my tribe's Oro town to instruct the craftsmen of my Green Field tribe."

"Of course, if the kingdom is really willing to send craftsmen to our tribe for guidance, we are willing to give these craftsmen the most generous treatment and arrangements, and we will never let them suffer."

Oren's posture was sincere, his eyes sincere, and he looked at Hamal eagerly.

Forging is very important for any force, especially a tribe with great ambitions and prospects like Luye. As long as you master a suitable casting skill, for the tribe and the warriors of your own forces, improvement is inevitable. big.

The standard equipment issued to armies of civilized forces like elves, humans and dwarves is itself a set of low-level magic equipment. It can not only improve their powerful protective capabilities, but also create more powerful equipment based on the specialties of each legion's warriors. Suit effects that take advantage of their strengths.

The cost requirements for mature standard magic equipment like this are actually much lower than purchasing them online alone, because they require low-grade magic plants and high output, and several props work together to build a spell model. There is enough space to accommodate the magic patterns, and the casting success rate is also high.

Coupled with the ability of professional knights to hone their skills in various fields, this is the second important factor that makes the legions of various civilizations powerful.

But the problem is that this kind of standard equipment is also a secret that is not passed down by the major forces. Even the natural temples have little knowledge about this aspect. Even if the forces of various races want to arm their armies with real standard equipment, it will be difficult for them to do so. Most of this is achieved through a small amount of actual equipment flowing out of temples and civilized forces.

Of course, if we encounter a large-scale war like before, seizing trophies and assembling some complete sets of equipment will also be an important source. And this is also an important factor in transporting the spoils of reinforcements from the invasion of the Principality of Rose back to the wilderness, causing other forces to covet them.

Like the current army soldiers of the Green Field Tribe, they seem to wear uniform armor, but that is just an appearance, and it is still several levels lower than the real magic suit.

"Well, I can promise you now."

The most indispensable thing for the dwarves is probably various sets of equipment casting formulas. Over the past countless years, a large number of military craftsmen have been dedicated to research and improvement. Just the eliminated equipment formulas have accumulated in the kingdom's treasury, with more than a dozen sets. It's not a big problem to just come up with one or two sets to win over the hearts of this wilderness tribe.

If it were just an ordinary wilderness tribe, it would naturally not be worth the price the kingdom had to pay. However, after witnessing the development potential of the Green Field Tribe with his own eyes, Hamar was quite sure that it was worthy of the kingdom's investment and wooing.

Of course, I know the other party's plan very well. Just like my request to send someone to learn how to cook magic dishes, what the other party can learn in the end depends on what the students of the kingdom can gain. This is an exchange of equal value, and the kingdom will not suffer. .

"Well, we welcome outstanding talents from the Dwarf Kingdom to enroll in our Green Field Culinary Academy at any time."

"We also welcome you to send students to our Kingdom's Forging Academy for further studies."

Both parties got what they wanted, and naturally the conversation became more enjoyable. As the conversation became more congenial, Hamar even proposed to increase the commercial trade between the Green Field Tribe and the Dwarf Kingdom, allowing Green Field to sell grain, various medium and low-level products to the Dwarf Kingdom. level potions or magic plants, and the dwarf kingdom is willing to provide a variety of sophisticated weapons, standard equipment, etc.

This naturally won the affirmation and recognition of Orenzi. The Fortress of Namur has recently been suffering from the decline in business transactions in the past, resulting in a decline in tax revenue and resource procurement. If they can directly trade with the Dwarf Kingdom regime, that can be considered This makes up for the current embarrassing situation in the Ring of Thorns camp.

The development of the Cator Mountains is proceeding steadily, and the output of various resources continues. The improvement of the climate and environment of the Green Field Plain has made the plain a fertile soil. Many agricultural industries developed in the early years are flourishing in various satellites. Taking root in villages and towns, many of the tribe's resources cannot be used up and can only be sold.

However, as the clouds of war spread, the risks brought by cross-border trade are also increasing day by day. Especially after the wilderness invaded the Rose Principality, humans have almost cut off commercial contacts with the wilderness.

The reduction of merchants naturally makes it more difficult to sell the output of the wilderness, and most of them can only rot in the hands of various tribes. If the Green Tribe can establish trade with the Dwarf Kingdom at the national level, then they will not have to rely on the Oak Merchant Group. Other forces were exploited by them at low prices in exchange for satisfactory materials.
