Lin Ming took a sip of tea and said lightly.
"I took the liberty to invite Your Excellency to come here this time for two reasons."
Gazelu put down the teacup in his hand, "First, I hope you can think about it and form an alliance with us."
"Alliance?" Lin Ming was a little puzzled.
"Yes."
Gazelu nodded, and continued, "Actually, I noticed Your Excellency a long time ago, but I have been on the sidelines."
Lin Ming didn't speak, and waited for the next sentence.
"I want to ask your Excellency first, do you know what it means about the disappearance of the storm dragon?"
Lin Ming raised his eyebrows.
"war!"
He spat out two words.
Gazelle nodded appreciatively.
"Your Excellency is indeed smart, yes, just as you guessed."
"Are you worried about the invasion of the Eastern Empire?"
Lin Ming directly clarified his words, and asked, "Your dwarf country is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so you can sit back and relax. This is not something you should worry about at all, right?"
"Your Excellency's words are good, but this time the situation is a bit complicated."
Gazelu smiled wryly, and said, "The industry in the dwarf country is very developed, but the planting industry is quite scarce, and the problem of food needs to be purchased from outside."
"In the past two years, it has become increasingly difficult to purchase food in our country."
Hearing what Gazelu said, Lin Ming also frowned.
"Could it be... is the empire operating in secret?"
"No!"
"Speaking of which, this matter is still related to your Excellency."
"what?"
"Your Excellency, do you still remember what you did in Farmus Kingdom two years ago?"
Gazelu suddenly mentioned this, making Lin Ming stunned, "Naturally, what does this have to do with the Dwarf Kingdom?"
"The kingdom of Farmus suffered heavy losses because the treasury was stolen, and the capital was flooded for three days."
"In order to make up for the vacancy, the Kingdom of Farmus began to increase taxes on merchants."
"As a result, many merchants have given up this business route and have gone to the Principality of Nazarick."
Hearing this, Lin Ming was secretly proud.
And ordered 32 likes for myself two years ago.
"But I still don't understand how this has anything to do with the dwarf kingdom."
"Don't worry, the key is the back."
"If there is no Principality of Nazarick, the businessman may have to hold his nose and bear it."
"But since a better business path has appeared, the merchants who were bullied by the Farmus Kingdom for so many years naturally ran away with buckets overnight."
"The passing of the merchants has caught the Farmus Kingdom by surprise. Even if the tax is lowered again, the merchants will ignore it."
"So, the Kingdom of Farmus set its greedy eyes on our Dwarf Kingdom."

Chapter 86 Have You Heard of Gundam?
In the following time, King Gazelu told the secrets of many countries.
Lin Ming was greatly surprised after hearing this.
The Kingdom of Farmus is simply the most mindless country he has ever seen.
The Dwarf Kingdom is located in the northern part of the mainland. Although the Eastern Empire in the east has a large land and resources, not only the industry is developed, but the agriculture is also extremely strong.
But their control over food is very strict, and they will never flow out to other countries.
Even if there are profiteers secretly selling grain, those quantities are too small for a country to have any effect at all.
Therefore, the dwarf country has been trading grain from western countries since ancient times.
As the gateway to the western countries, the Kingdom of Farmus has naturally become the preferred trading partner of the Dwarf Kingdom due to its natural geographical advantages.
The two countries have signed a trade agreement, and will sell grain to the dwarf kingdom at normal market prices every year.
While the price tends to be a little higher, the cost is actually minuscule compared to shipping grain from farther countries.
But now, the Kingdom of Farmus, which is in a hurry to seek medical treatment, has unilaterally tore up the agreement and started raising prices on the ground.
Because of the lack of news, the Western countries don't know much about the situation in the East.
In addition, most of the merchants gave up the farms kingdom, and the news was even more blocked.
Farmus is confident that the dwarf kingdom will not find a next home.
They never imagined that a small country with a population of less than one million could produce such a large amount of food.
Its ending is bound to be tragic.
Lin Ming never thought that his bond with this country would be so deep.
In the room, King Gazelu had already explained one of the reasons for the alliance, he continued.
"This is a problem faced by the country. Of course, since it is an alliance, it is because both sides have needs. There is no doubt about it."
"Your Excellency has the courage to establish a country on the only way to the Eastern Empire. I admire this courage, but have you thought about the consequences?"
Lin Ming smiled when he heard the words, "Staying at the mouth of the wind and dust waves is dangerous, but you can get enough opportunities."
After a pause, Lin Ming continued, "There is a saying in my hometown, which is to seek wealth and wealth."
After a moment of silence, King Gazelu suddenly burst out laughing.
He clapped his palms and said, "It's a good job to seek wealth and wealth. I like your character."
"Your Excellency Gazelu came to me this time because he actually wanted to form a war alliance with me, right?"
"Yes, our two countries are both neutral countries, and both countries are multi-racial coexistence countries."
"If the Eastern Empire sends troops to attack Nazarick, our dwarf kingdom will definitely provide support."
"It should be beneficial to Your Excellency to reach an alliance."
Although King Gazelu said clearly and logically, it is also true.
But the Eastern Empire's threat to Lin Ming was not as great as King Gazelu imagined.
Lin Ming shook his head, "Thank you, King Gazelu, for your kindness. I want technology sharing more than war alliances."
Gazelu's eyes darkened, "Technology is the foundation of the dwarf country's livelihood, and it will not be easily spread to the outside world."
"Oh hoo~~"
Lin Ming smiled playfully, "But I heard that the former blacksmith of the Dwarf Kingdom seems to have followed a slime away."
Hearing these words, the corners of King Gazelu's mouth twitched.
"You know this as well?"
"That slime is my brother."
King Gazelu: ...
Can this still be fun?
"Miscalculation, I should have killed Cajin then."
Although Gazelu said so, there was no killing intent in his eyes.
"It's hard to get over the water, anyway, it's a foregone conclusion, so it's settled."
"Don't worry, Your Excellency Gazelle."
Lin Ming waved his hand, "I do have a gift for Your Excellency."
"Gift?"
"Clang!"
Lin Ming threw a long knife on the table. It was an excellent weapon forged by Heibingwei.
"jingle!"
Lin Ming took out another strangely shaped prop, if it wasn't for the magic brand engraved on it, he would have thought it was a piece of scrap iron.
"Look at the level of these two things. Compared with the equipment forged in your country, which one is higher?"
Gazelu's eyes lit up, he picked up the long knife and looked at it carefully.
"Ingenious workmanship, who made this, not much worse than our blacksmith."
"Don't worry, look at this again."
Pushed the magic prop shaped like scrap iron over.
"This is……"
"You can call him the magic core, a core that contains powerful energy."
"What do you mean by that, sir?"
"Have you heard of... Gundam?"
…………
……
Inside the goblin town.
The three of Ai Lian and Jing stayed in the town for two days, and today they are going to continue their journey.
In the past two days, Jing learned that Mr. Slime was from her hometown.
And seeing the current situation of her hometown from Slime's memory, she felt very happy.
At least before he died, he let go of his worries.
Before leaving, the four prepare to say goodbye to Limuru.
Just when several people walked out of the wooden house.
"Boom!!"
Jing found that Ifrit in her body seemed to be unable to suppress it.
She fell to her knees in pain.
"Miss Jing, what's the matter with you?"
The three of Ailian hurried over.
"Crack!"
The anti-magic mask blessed with the power of time, the mask that was supposed to be indestructible, cracked a gap at this moment.
A terrifying aura rose from Jing's body.
A powerful hurricane spread out, knocking the three of Ailian to the ground.
Jing's mind could no longer hold on, and her body was controlled by Ifrit at this moment.
I saw her slowly rising to the sky, with flames burning all over her body.
Rimuru and Ligurud who heard the movement rushed over.
After seeing this scene, Limulu couldn't help exclaiming, "Miss Jing!?"
"What happened?"
