Chapter 366 The Strange Power of Sisa

The expression on Barrod's face relaxed a lot, and he could finally see some smile. After seeing the cans piled up in the warehouse and sorted into categories, the heavy burden in his heart finally disappeared.

Correspondingly, his attitude towards Tang En also changed a lot.

Tang En could clearly feel the change in Barrod's attitude before and after, and felt dumbfounded.

He was like those wealthy players who used materials to raise their reputation from indifference to admiration, except that they used silk and wool, but he used cans.

However, judging from Barrod's appearance, these more than 70,000 tons of cans did not change his reputation to admiration, but only changed from being cold to being friendly.

Tang En couldn't help but rub his nose. Compared with the hospitable dwarves of Forge Hammer Castle, the reputation of this underground dwarf can be regarded as a very difficult camp reputation.

After returning to the palace, the two parties finally sat together and planned to talk about business.

At this time, we finally arrived at Fiona's home court.

Fortunately, Balod knew Runeese, otherwise Fiona would have been blinded when she came - she didn't understand Dwarven.

"Hello, great king of the underground dwarves, I am the chief executive of the lord, responsible for all administrative matters of Ellington."

Fiona sat opposite Barrod, briefly introduced herself, then opened the file in front of her, took out a few pieces of paper and threw them aside: "Because I didn't know you knew Loen before, so I asked Brian to help. I have prepared an introduction in Dwarf language, but it seems that it is not needed now. I will interview you directly..."

Tang En, who was standing leisurely beside him, crossed his arms and looked at Fiona. The blond girl's temperament now is completely different from when they first met. Although she is still the twenty-year-old blond girl now, she is mature and stable. He understands the general situation and the big picture, and he is very clear about the priorities of things.

Even after knowing her enemy, she was able to put it aside temporarily and put Ellington's development as her top priority without distracting her energy at all. She was indeed a very rare talent.

Tang En fantasized in his mind about Fiona wearing the OL uniform with gold-rimmed glasses, and then suddenly grinned. Whether it was the brilliant blond hair or the temperament, they were very suitable for the OL uniform, but that kind of The style of dressing up is completely different from that of Barrod opposite.

There, Fiona carefully introduced to Barod the things that Ellington could provide, a large part of which were rare things that the underground dwarves had not seen for a long time, or had never seen before: cheap paper, ceramics Utensils, fresh fruits, juices, sugar, refined salt, various staple foods, meats, etc., as well as various magic machines produced by Ellington, such as magic kettles, water heaters, washing machines, refrigerators, etc.

As for the magic air conditioner, Fiona's previously proposed flagship product, there is not such a big market here - for humans, it may be very hot here, but for underground dwarves, they have already adapted to the temperature here, and it feels very Comfortable, if the temperature suddenly changes, they are not used to it.

"The above are the main trade products we can provide. Of course, if necessary, we can also provide more products, but this requires both of us to slowly search for it in future trade."

After introducing the trade products that excited Barod, Fiona raised Ellington's trade demands: "Then, as a party to trade, our Ellington's trade demands for the underground dwarves mainly include: Various ores, including ordinary ores such as gold, silver, copper and iron, as well as magic metal ores such as magic iron, fine gold and mithril; various medicinal herbs and plants used in alchemy, especially those that are special underground products, we are happy to purchase; various gemstones , rubies, emeralds, topaz, sapphires, etc., as well as various magic crystals, above standard level, advanced magic crystals or rarer magic essences, etc..."

Fiona spoke eloquently, and after a pause, she added: "In addition, we also welcome all kinds of underground monster specialties. Any scales, bones, blood or internal organs that can be used, as long as they are well preserved, They can all be used for trade. We also very much welcome underground dwarves to travel to Ellington for sightseeing..."

Then, Fiona took out another contract and said: "This is a bilingual contract prepared by us in Loen and Dwarf languages. You can take a look at it. There is no need to rush to answer immediately. Please consider it carefully before giving us an answer. .”

Barrod took the contract and glanced at it, then said to Tang En: "It seems that you are well prepared."

"That's natural."

"I will seriously consider your request and give you a reply in three days at the latest."

Barrod stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Come here, take the guests to their rooms to rest."

"No."

Tang En also stood up: "Our people are still outside, so we will find an open space to camp outside and wait for your news at any time."

"In that case, don't force it. The earth will always be by our side. My friend, may your beard grow forever like the tree of life."

“May your kingdom be as vigorous as the hammer and the forge.”

After leaving the palace, Fiona couldn't help but said: "Lord, I still don't understand why you are unwilling to put forward that condition..."

After seeing the average strength of the underground dwarves, Fiona just wanted to temporarily formulate another clause in the contract. As both parties to the contract, Ellington can pay the underground dwarves to secondment soldiers if necessary.

"Fiona, although you are very talented in business, you are a bit slow in politics."

Tang En casually patted Fiona on the shoulder: "Recruiting soldiers rarely happens even between lords of the surface world and between principalities who have very close relationships, let alone us and the underground dwarves. There is no partnership anymore.”

"Deploying soldiers means that both sides are undefended, and the secret is completely exposed to the other side's eyes. Under the current circumstances, we cannot completely trust the underground dwarves, and it is impossible for the underground dwarves to completely trust us. They rashly put forward such conditions. It will make the other party be more vigilant.”

Of course, Tang En understands Fiona's eagerness to increase Ellington's strength as much as possible, but there are many things that cannot be achieved in one step. For example, after reaching the trade relationship with the underground dwarves, she wants to completely integrate them into Ellington. Linton, to be assimilated into Ellington's culture, it would have taken dozens or even hundreds of years at the earliest without Tang En's various strategies.

Even with Tang En's various whimsical ideas, this process may take several years for them to fully accept Ellington.

When both parties do not understand each other, it is best to keep a distance and conduct normal trade.

As long as Ellington can always maintain the leading level in culture, economy and technology, then sooner or later the underground dwarves will be completely conquered and assimilated by this soft invasion and become a part of Ellington.

"Lord Lord."

When they returned outside, Uncle Depp and Rock had organized the soldiers to set up tents in the open space outside the city.

"What's going on over there?"

Tang En pointed not far away. The adventurers seemed to be arguing with the dwarf soldiers. Perhaps due to the language barrier, both parties were dancing and gesticulating.

Locke curled his lips and said: "Those adventurers seemed to want to cross the blockade of the dwarf soldiers and continue to explore the caves ahead, but they were stopped."

Anyone else want to go deeper?

Tang En was very surprised. He was dragged here by Xisa's power before, but now that he got the opportunity to replenish his supplies, he didn't rush to replenish food and water and return home quickly, but he still wanted to move forward. How unafraid of death are these people?

"Some smart adventurers have begun to use their belongings to barter with the underground dwarves, planning to return to the surface and resell them to make a profit. However, those who want to continue going deeper are definitely those who are not satisfied with the current situation. Little profit guy.”

Locke sneered again and again: "Lord, just look at it, the people with the power of Sisa are right next to them. They have no intention of resting after crossing the lava river. It is estimated that they will continue to go deeper if they have the chance. I don't know if Sa has been stimulated by something, and the style of the entire mercenary group is not right."

Just as Locke said, the people of Sisa's Power all gathered together. Although they did not show any hostility, the silent team always exuded a strange cold feeling.

Tang En was stunned for a moment: "Locke, didn't the Sissa Power mercenary group you knew before have this cold and serious iron-blooded style?"

He thought that Sisa's power had always been this style.

"Of course not. If it's always like this, how can I deal with my employer?"

Locke spread his hands and said: "Although I am not qualified to deal with the power of Sisa, I have seen their people from a distance. They are quite satisfactory."

Tang En glanced at the Sisa Force mercenary group and shook his head slightly: "I guess the profits from this adventure are relatively large, so I want to scare others and maximize the benefits."

"It's possible... Huh? They've taken action!"

As soon as Locke finished speaking, hundreds of troops from Sisa's Force set off. Their mighty movements immediately attracted the attention of all the adventurers around, and also aroused the alertness of the dwarf soldiers. The dwarf soldiers pulled out their weapons and shouted loudly. warning them.

If it weren't for Tang En's face, they might have taken action immediately - the fighting power of the underground dwarves is really worthy of the power of Sissa and these mercenaries.

At this time, two people walked out from the Sisa Force mercenary group. One was a tall, bald man wearing armor, and the other was a man shrouded in a black cloak. They came to the dwarf soldiers and bowed their heads. They started talking loudly.

Locke pointed over there and said: "That bald man is Sisa, the founder of the mercenary group. I don't recognize the black cloak next to him, but from what other adventurers said, I'm afraid he is the mage hired by Sisa's power. .”

Mage?

Tang En frowned slightly. In an elemental deposition environment, a person is surrounded by strong magic power. In this case, it is impossible to detect whether he is a spell caster through magic power affinity.

After a while, Sisa and the man in black went back again, and the mercenary group returned to the previous place again.

Apparently, they were rejected too.

Then, Tang En saw Sisa and the man in black walking towards the city under the leadership of the guards.
