Warhammer Throne

Chapter 1026, Dulong City Exclusive Trade Agreement

The road leading to Dulong City is a very, very long corridor. It takes nearly two hours to walk. Several teams of hammer warriors and more dwarf rangers watched around in the corridor and left space for the participating knight king. Ryan, Morgiana, and Lilith, the old guards and the Red Navy behind him, and the poor Otto Bagley, the businessman’s cold is still not healed, and the dwarves laughed at humans as expected. No, I found a hand-push mine cart to put the merchant in it and pushed it away, but because he accepted the dwarf's suggestion and took a sip of the special spirits of Dulong City, Otto felt better.

There are countless murals and statues of dwarf ancestor gods in the two sections of the long corridor.

Needless to say, the statues of the three dwarves have been mentioned many times before.

What really made Ryan and the others noticed was that the statues of four other dwarven sub-gods also appeared in the corridor. They were:

Smidnir, **** of dwarven mines and caves.

Tugni, the **** of dwarven runes and magic.

Morgrim, the **** of dwarf engineering.

Gazul, the patron of the dwarven dead.

It is worth mentioning that there is a fundamental difference between the dwarf gods and the elven gods. The dwarf gods are all ancestor gods, which means that these dwarf gods have all lived, built and fought with their children as living people. Smidnir, the **** of mines and caves, and Tugani, the **** of rune magic, were the children of Granny and Valaya, and the **** of engineering was born of Glimnir and Valaya Gazul is not clear about his child.

"About seven thousand years ago, our **** of war, Grimmnir, decided to take a dwarven army to the far north and close the Chaos Portal." Norsca dwarf lord Tolgarde-the Crimson moved towards Ryan and others introduced: “Granny and Valaya tried their best to persuade Grimmnir not to do that, but Grimmnir’s stubbornness is just like his axe. His desire for victory and enemies is like Alcoholics like ale, so Grimmnir insisted on going. He even trimmed his hair and beard to show his determination, and then set off with his son Mogrim and the expeditionary army."

"The beginning of the expedition was not very smooth. Grimmnir and Mogrim led the army through all the thorns, but they still encountered trouble after entering the Chaos Wasteland. They worked together to defeat a Chaos Dragon and talked about the wine. Then Grimmnir ordered to continue to advance, and three princes of the terrifying demon fought, despite the victory, but was seriously injured, Grimmnir asked Mogrim to return to the Kingdom of the Mountains with the remaining army, and he was big. Step into the Chaos Wasteland and never come back."

Tolgard tells the ancient history. He pointed to the mural: “After Grimmnir’s disappearance, Granny and Valaya decided to expedition to the Chaos Wasteland again. This time their expeditionary force is even larger. The expeditionary army arrived at the current location of Dulong City, where the mineral veins are extremely rich, and there are a large number of fish and livestock resources. Many high mountains can grow barley and graze, so our ancestors settled here."

Ryan nodded repeatedly. Everyone knew about the following things. Chaos invaded, and Granny dispatched an emissary in time before disappearing, and the Norsca dwarves survived.

Tolgard sighed: "We have been trying to find a way to the south, but every time we were forced to retreat under the siege of chaotic beasts and the army. We were temporarily safe, but we were isolated and helpless. We passed the ancestor idol. Isolate chaos and corruption from rune magic, and hide our fortress in the mountains. We spent thousands of years slowly recovering our national strength and avoiding falling into war."

"But your contact with the dwarves in the south was all interrupted?" Mojana asked, "Speaking of theory, there are also Urgols and later Mrs. Kiesler in the south?"

"We used to have trade and contact with the Norskars." Torgard nodded: "But you know, as time goes by, the Norskars gradually abandoned all their beliefs and began to turn into chaos of faith, because we once again We cut off contact with the Norskars and isolated again. After that, we once suspected that the Nords, the Empires and Mrs. Kiesler in the south also believed in chaos. It was until the dark rolling river was opened on the eve of the Great Holy War that we understood the original southern Humans do not believe in chaos, our distant relatives of dwarves still exist."

"We used to think that the savior and his empire could regain the glory of the past. There is no doubt that he did it too, but there is only one problem. This guy is too short-lived to be the emperor for fifty years. I dare say any of us. As long as there are no accidents, the term of a great monarch is not less than 300 years." Thunder City King Rogamir-Ufasen interrupted and said: "After that, we will see that we have lost the savior, a group of gangsters. Fighting all day long, why can human beings always have few decent and long-lived leaders? Why do they always like to entangle and deny the agreement of the previous one at every turn?"

"Then you can rest assured about this." The fairy in the lake said with a smile after hearing this, "Ryan will live long enough and be strong enough."

"That's why we are here to welcome you, King Knight." Torgard nodded slightly: "We know about the recovery of Bafeng Mountain. Thorglin also wrote to say that you are a decent leader, and I hope that the human race will rush to the streets. The twenty-five generations can slow down a bit and pursue some stability and prosperity."

"We will." Ryan thought for a while, and then said: "However, as far as I know, bigger and more terrifying storms are gradually approaching, and Mottkin's invasion is just the beginning of everything."

"I don't know what the beginning of everything is, I only know that we are there." Torgard raised his big hand.

That's right, it's there.

A giant meteorite gate with a height of fifteen meters was opened suddenly under the hydraulic drive, and the entire underground rock wall was suddenly bright as day. About five hundred dwarf crossbowmen and more than one hundred musketeers waited at the gate for the arrival of their king. , Just on both sides of the gate, three ten-meter-high statues of ancestors were shining. As usual, Granny was holding a hammer and a shield, with a moxican head and a trimmed Glimnier facing Everyone glared at him, but Valaya was holding a shield in one hand and an axe in the other, wearing two big braids, as if thinking about something.

"Oh Huo, the idol here is much shorter than the one on Bafeng Mountain." Little Thorgrin exclaimed excitedly: "But what rune is that, I don't think I have seen it!"

"Shut your mouth, moustache!" Tolgard glared at a young Thorgrin: "Otherwise I will send you to feed the piranhas deep underground!"

Passing through the gate, a huge mountain city appeared in front of everyone.

The mountains have been hollowed out, and only the top light and torches provide illumination. The dwarf’s excellent planning level and construction ability are displayed here. Dozens of tunnels are square and square, dividing Dulong City into hundreds of squares and runes. The reinforced walls are solid and reliable, decorated with text and reliefs, silently telling the story of the ancestors. Several galleries are opened in the ancestral hall, overlooking the dining hall, armory, reception room and forging hall. .

Torgard clapped his hands, and dozens of long-bearded veterans appeared in the clan of the dwarf prince. The crimson laughed loudly and said to Ryan: "Even if you are the knight king and come to our Dulong City, Follow the rules."

"What rules?" Ryan stretched out his hand to signal Mojana to stay calm, and spread his hands: "I have to explain in advance, not all rules I will follow."

"It's not difficult for you." Torgaard emphasized: "It's very simple. If you want to negotiate with us and talk about trade, then you have to show your sincerity. You only need three things. First, compare strength. Second, better than drinking, and third, better than singing!"

Ryan nodded: "It's not difficult, but I need clear standards."

"The first one is that we don’t compare with you, your strength is there." Torgad laughed straight: "The third one is that we don’t compare with you either. Because dwarves sing differently from humans, we are only better than the second. ,drink!"

Ancestral Hall, a group of long-bearded dwarves, gold domes, sandalwood long tables, wine glasses inlaid with gems, hundreds of barrels of barley wine, 20 baskets of bread, a dozen plates of cold cut lamb and sauce, as well as various mushrooms and Marinated fish.

The King's Kitchen in Dulong City was fully started, and dishes were served.

Ryan took the seat. Opposite him sat five dwarves with long beards, each of them wearing crimson robes and animal skin down jackets.

The four kings of Dulong City dwarves also took their seats.

A dwarf maid who was so round as a bucket brought an oversized diamond beer glass, and Ryan estimated that this glass could hold a liter of beer.

"Have a drink, say a word, and state all your intentions and negotiation terms!" Maharaja Tolgarde sat directly opposite Ryan: "In the name of Granny, we set the ancestral rules!"

"Who speaks, who drinks! How?"

"Yes!" Ryan's mouth showed a smile: "Are you ready? Dwarf?"

"Very well, I declare in the name of the great monarch that the feast of Granny has begun!"

…………I am the dividing line of Granny's feast…………

Two days later, under the golden dome, Maharaja Tolgard-Crimson and three other kings, as well as five clan chiefs, masters of rune craftsmen, and masters of engineering, were sitting together in the meeting hall of the ancestors of Dulong City. , Discussing the results of the negotiations.

"The problem is obvious. This knight king is very strong, speaks well among humans, has a relatively good reputation, and can speak very fluent dwarven language... Although it is the accent of the mountain kingdom, we cannot Don't admit it, chatting with him is not as tiring as chatting with other humans." King Harkon of Crow's Nest said: "At least it seems so on the surface."

"The only disturbing thing is that according to the news, he seems to be closer to the elves." King Tyr of Eagle Peak City put his arms around his chest: "Those **** pointed ears are not reliable at all."

"We are trading with the Knight Kingdom, not with the elves. Moreover, the elves are sometimes good." Thunder City King Luo Jiamir stroked his white beard: "The premise is that we can get things like silk and satin. All kinds of fine embroidery? Jewelry?"

Everyone here nodded. Don't look at the dwarves and elves disagreeing with each other, but the dwarves really like the high-end luxury goods of elves.

"Our Knight King also proposed to continue to build a large dwarf blacksmith workshop, built in his domain, which is called Musilon." The president of the Dulong City Craftsmen Association, the master of Rune Craftsman Eric Said: "He was told by the young Thorglin that our rune craftsman is the best and most comprehensive, so I hope to hire a few boys under my command to help."

"How about the price?" Torgard burped, drinking too much that day, and everyone slept the next day.

"The price...is not bad, and he promised that he will never point fingers at the dwarves, as long as the quality and output are guaranteed, I promise that it will not affect the work here."

Everyone began to talk about it and spent an hour or two discussing what should be done.

"Listen, you guys, normally we need a year or two to think about and discuss these things, but the Knight King cannot wait for us for a year or two." Torgarde signaled everyone to be quiet, under the special golden domed echo wall Every word of the dwarf can be heard clearly by everyone: "In fact, the problem is very simple. We all know that his man is in charge of Olengrad in the south. He is more able to fight and be more trustworthy. The price of the goods sold is generally lower than that of the female czar, and a large amount, more importantly, he promised to bring us a lot of food, a lot of food, meat, fish, and what we urgently need. A lot of textiles, so that we can build new breweries and meat processing plants, and put all our children in clean and beautiful robes!"

"Oh! New brewery!"

"This can be, highland barley wine, not good enough, but the dark beer and Bagman beer from the south are delicious!"

"Can he really do it?"

"There are 118,000 dwarves in our four kingdoms!"

"Listen, everyone, listen." Tolgarde once again said to everyone to be obedient: "Knight King wants to exchange food, cloth, luxury goods and other things with us for our rune armor, rune weapons, various Ore and rare metals, my people have already settled the accounts overnight. This trade will help us fill the family wealth and treasury. The only requirement is to only designate Olengrad as the only trading port, and we Only trade with the few merchants he designated."

"If he can provide us with all the goods we need, why not? Humans are short-lived ghosts and unreliable guys. We have encountered perfidious humans cheating us more than once, and we have been dead for many years when we finally came to the door. Up."

"Then everything is settled like this, we use our various ores, rune weapons and equipment, jewelry or other things to trade with them."

In the end, the Council of Ancestors voted and passed the trade agreement with 8 votes in favor and 1 abstention. The abstaining vote came from the Oblak clan, the largest merchant in Dulong City. This family has just met the Tsar Kislev Romanov. Not long after the family signed the trade agreement, they were unwilling to give up such generous trade profits, but they were helpless with the status quo and could only oppose it symbolically~www.ltnovel.com~ This trade agreement was historically known as the "Dragon City Exclusive Trade Agreement" "Relying on this trade agreement, the dwarves of Dulong City received a large amount of much-needed supplies from the old world in the next period of time, and quickly moved towards a new round of prosperity, and the Breton royal family represented by Ryan Relying on this trade agreement, an unimaginable huge amount of wealth was obtained.

But this is something later.

"Very well, now let us discuss the second matter, which was also proposed by His Majesty the Knight King."

"That's about the so-called'Great Retreat' motion he proposed."

"This bill discusses how our group of Norsca dwarves will get out of this place if they encounter the absolute predicament of being besieged by Norsca High King Islin for a long time like the Battle of the Mountains. Motion."

"Now, let us discuss whether it is necessary to prepare the preplan for the'Great Retreat'."
