Chapter 1012 Princes and generals are kind
Of course, Ryan didn't know what happened in the cabin, and he didn't want to know, because now he just wanted to sneak out to avoid the Shura field, he didn't want to be involved, and he didn't want to be a referee.
This is not to say that Ryan is a scumbag, but the relationship between the fairy of the lake and the witch of the lake is a master-servant relationship. All the power of the witch of the lake basically comes from the gift of the fairy of the lake, and Lilith controls Morgiana. Natural correctness and legitimacy, and because of this relationship and the previous turkey feast agreement, Ryan felt that the fairy of the lake and the witch of the lake god would not really do anything, at most it was just a verbal dispute.
The deck of the passenger ship is not very spacious, and there are not many people on it. Several Red Navy sailors who are familiar with the route are adjusting the sails. It will take at least a week for Dragon City, and this is because the dwarves of Dulong City gave a very detailed navigation chart and compass.
Later, Ryan noticed that Belegar's eldest son, Thorgreen-Hammer Jr., and his good friend Runesmith Master Slud-Jed-Honest, the son of the Honest Man, were carrying two mustache dwarves on their backs. A dwarf gun, holding a telescope, is looking at the scenery on the ocean.
"Oh, it's His Majesty Ryan~" Young Solgreen held a telescope and looked at the sea and coast with a lot of floating ice in the distance: "Look at Your Majesty Ryan, there is a Minotaur sleeping on the shore."
"Minotaure biss, I'm pure God of War, where is it?" Ryan also took out a monocular, and he soon saw a large minotaur eating and drinking on the beach on the coastline, leaning against a boulder sleep on it.
"There, there!" Little Thorgreen took out the bullet and stuffed it into his long-barreled musket, and put it down after aiming for a while: "No, it's too far away, Grimnir, my musket Can't hit that far."
"Let me try." Ryan put down the binoculars, and the King of Knights began to condense his spiritual power.
Well, it's a bit hypocritical! Ryan suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his body, and a feeling of emptiness spread all over his body. The Primarch of the Gray Knight thought this was probably the feeling of the emperor after sitting on the golden throne for a long time.
It took a lot of time before Ryan condensed a silver spear with a silvery white body.
"Go!" The spear turned into a silver meteor, galloped along the sea plain, and gradually divided into eight spiritual light spears in the air, directly attacking the tauren's body in eight places. In the vortex, the tauren was pierced by the psychic light spear, and died in his sleep with a scream.
"Aha, His Majesty Ryan still shoots so accurately.
Little Solgreen and Jed clapped their hands desperately excitedly. Although these two mustaches were about the same age as Ryan (actually a few years older), they had an instinctive admiration and awe for Ryan.
Dwarves are generally not so stubborn when they are young. These mustaches are willing to accept new things and hold an attitude of being interested in everything. They are often pioneers who have the courage to try new ideas and develop new technologies. However, the Dwarf Rune Craftsman Association The Association of Dwarven Engineers is often dominated by a large group of white-bearded old dwarves. Those white-bearded old dwarves are stubborn, conservative, and hate flexibility and progress. Generally speaking, all kinds of whimsical ideas and technological innovations of mustache engineers will be blocked. Granted technological innovation and new thinking are dangerous and prone to explosion, but more often than not the dwarves resist change.
There are only two reasons for the technological progress and innovation of the dwarves. The first is the needs of the dwarves. This need may be due to military needs due to huge external pressure. It may be the administrative order of the dwarf king or even the high king, or it may be economic development. and the need for territorial expansion.
The second reason is that the news about the powerful technology and technology researched by the human kingdom or the elves has spread to the dwarves. The old dwarves with white beards cannot bear the humiliation and will immediately start to make breakthroughs and surpass them until Proof of dwarf technology, best technology so far.
Basically nothing to the mustaches, who are always under suppression called protection, or protection called suppression.
But young Solgreen is different. This little beard wandered around with Bellegar all the way, and what he saw, walked, and what he saw may be things that other white bearded dwarves have never had in their lives. Thorgrim, just like the Supreme King Thorgrim-the Grudger, once traveled to the old world, has a deeper understanding and knowledge of the current situation of the dwarves and the old world.
Bellega should also have considered this point, and simply let his son follow Ryan, on the one hand to exercise and increase experience, on the other hand it is safer.
"Your Majesty Ryan, why would you think of negotiating with the dwarves of Dulong City?" Little Thorgreen put the gun back behind his back, with a somewhat uncertain tone: "To be honest, these dwarves may not be so easy to communicate with. , you have to be prepared to be tested by them."
"Test?" Ryan became interested: "Little Solgreen, speaking of which, how much do you know about Dulong City?"
"Dwarves in Dulong City?" Little Thorgreen thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "Compared with what happened before and after, you have also heard from His Majesty the Supreme King and Dad, uh... I can say this, at that time the Supreme King The king invited these dwarves to return to the old world, but the reason why the dwarves in Dulong City refused was economic reasons, that is, the rich mineral veins in the Norsca Mountains, and the Maharaja Torgard-Crimson also made a request."
"What request?" Ryan became interested.
"One north and one south, a great king and a supreme king." Little Thorgrim sighed: "How could this be possible, the Maharaja Torgard just agreed to take a step back in his seniority, calling Thorgrim the Supreme King Say 'Uncle'."
"Pfft~" Ryan almost spat out.
Indeed, according to this condition, it is a ghost that the two sides can negotiate successfully.
What is the origin of the dwarves in Dulong City? I have already mentioned it before, so I won’t repeat it here. I only want to emphasize one point, that is, most of the dwarves in Dulong City followed the three main gods of the dwarves, Grannie and Grimm. Neil and Valaya once expeditioned to the Chaos Wasteland together to try to close the Chaos Portal. During the invasion, due to the timely dispatch of messengers by Gronni, the dwarves of Dulong City made enough preparations in advance to survive, and they did not go through the Battle of Longbeard and the subsequent period of catastrophe, which ensured that the national strength and the number of people were not destroyed. hit.
However, just as Little Solgreen said, the dwarves of Dulong City have been used to independence for thousands of years, and they never want to return to the system of Karak-Angel (the dwarf mountain kingdom) at all. Means they are under the rule of the High King.
Who would like multiple superiors to control themselves for no reason?
Moreover, the dwarves of Dulong City can't deny the legitimacy of the Supreme King. Does it need to say how strong the legitimacy of Eternal Peak is? The first High King was Snorri-Whitebeard, the eldest son of the main dwarf gods Grani and Valaya. After that, every generation of High King was inherited strictly according to the bloodline of the nearest direct line, maximizing orthodoxy.
What's more terrible is that dwarves are different from humans and elves, not to mention the dark elves and wood elves who are eternal dynasties. Even the high elves and empires with the most powerful families, some of the Phoenix Kings have humble backgrounds, and the emperor of the empire has some The savior hillbilly who came out of the countryside of Nuer, even the knight kingdom with the highest bloodlines and legitimacy, there are also kings of minor nobles such as the rose knight Taylor Buddha and the sledgehammer knight Ryan.
But dwarves do not have them. For dwarves, princes and generals really have kind. This is not a joke. Dwarves are a stubborn and conservative race that is almost perverted. Class solidification is not only a derogatory term, but also a commendatory term. For example, if Ryan explained to little Solgreen why he is from the Zhao family and why he is the surging back wave, little Solgreen would not only not find it ironic, but would probably be complacent The content with oneself is very high.
However, this world is so helpless, because it is reasonable for the dwarves to divide it this way. To give the simplest example, all dwarf rune craftsmen must have the blood of Gronni, otherwise they will not be able to master the power of runes. The Artisan Association is not so much an organization as it is a clan alliance.
So there are class conflicts among dwarves, otherwise there would not be so many dwarves immigrating to the empire and all over the world, or the great engineer Jerrick Grimm from Haimen Pass under Fulgrim would not I chose to go to the new world to start a new business by myself. I just said that the dwarves are in a difficult situation now and there are enemies everywhere, so this is only a secondary contradiction. Furthermore, the stubbornness and stubbornness of the dwarves are similar to those of the Britannian knights. When encountering difficulties and enemies, the dwarf royal family and knight lords will always charge forward in person, and the common people have nothing to say about it.
If it is changed to enjoy the lofty status and various rights in normal times, and then civilians and temporary conscripts go up to the top in the event of war, and hide in the fortress by themselves, then it is unreasonable.
Ryan chatted with Solgreen Jr. and Jed for a while, and found that they were indeed deeply influenced by the outside world, especially Solgreen Jr. had a lot of new ideas in his mind. Solgreen Jr. also believed that, The Norsca Mountains are not what they used to be, dangerous and uncertain, and the dwarves should unite.
"Is there any new news from Brother Bellegar?" Ryan chatted with little Thorgreen for a while, knowing that the dwarves they went to Dulong City must face some tests, and the King of Knights was also relieved: "Speaking of it, the distance between Several years have passed since the Great Expedition of Bafeng Mountain."
"It's only been a few years, what news can come from my father." Little Solgreen felt that Ryan was really anxious, and Little Hammer didn't care: "In this little time, father can settle the interior of Bafeng Mountain and restore it." The delivery is not bad, Your Majesty Ryan, don't be so anxious, patience is a virtue, and it took my father hundreds of years to recover Bafeng Mountain."
"..." Ryan thought to himself that he almost forgot that dwarves have a different concept of time. Ordinary dwarves have a lifespan of three to four hundred years. As for the sanctuary dwarf king like Belega, it is not a problem to live for a thousand years. For little Thorgreen He said that he had only been out for an adventure for a while, why did he rush to communicate in such a short time.
"But speaking of it, Your Majesty Ryan, there is indeed a message from Haimenguan." Little Thorgreen took out a letter from his arms, and his mustache was a little embarrassed: "Just arrived, Haimenguan Dwarven Engineers Association sent Yes, the second ironclad you ordered is complete."
"Oh! Has the second ironclad ship been completed?" Ryan's eyes lit up. The King of Knights looked at the ocean in Kislev Bay and fell into deep thought. The second ironclad ship will greatly enhance Britannia's sea power. This steel monster will become a powerful guarantee for the safety of the Krona-Ehrengrad trade route.
What is the name of this ironclad ship?
Glory? Richelieu? HMS Belfast?
Or Prinz Eugen, Hood? The Dreadnought seems pretty good too.
Or, call it Baishang Chuuxuehao? Ryan thought full of mischief.
Akua can't, it's too stupid.
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing that has been delivered, I forgot to tell you." Little Solgreen was still a mustache, not reliable enough, he suddenly slapped his head: "From the Eternal Peak, the highest The king specially sent a team of Eternal Guards to escort them. I just arrived yesterday. I thought it was unreliable to put it on Erlengrad, so I brought it to the boat. I’m sorry, Your Majesty Ryan, I drank too much last night. forget."
"Then fine you to do thirty squats." Ryan squinted and said, "Walaya will not forgive such a low-level mistake."
"Understood!" Little Thorgreen immediately puffed out his chest to signal that he understood, and Mustache just put his head in his hands and did squats. It was really troublesome for a dwarf to do squats, and it was not a punishment for a joke.
"Where are the things?" Ryan turned his head and asked Jed, the honest man, who was watching a play and helping to count. This son of the master rune craftsman especially likes to use various firearms and drive dwarf helicopters. Master, he wants to be a master of engineering.
After talking with the two mustaches, Ryan met Otto Bagley, a big businessman from Brittania who came with him. After that, it was gradually overtaken by Hadrian's Chamber of Commerce and Oliver's Chamber of Commerce, but it was still the representative of local merchants in Brittania. Ryan thought that after Oliver controlled the wood elf trade and Hadrian mastered Lustria's overseas trade , I also wanted to let the local merchants drink some soup, so I asked him to follow. Some details and specific allocations still need to be discussed by professional merchants.
Unfortunately, this poor guy has a bit of a cold, so he can only hide in the room and warm himself by the fire with a runny nose wrapped in a quilt. Seeing him like this, Ryan can't tell him too much, just let him take care of himself. dragon city.
After wandering outside for a full two hours, Ryan finally returned to his room. The King of Knights was holding a huge box in his hands, with the mark of Ge Lang Ni and the president of the Eternal Peak Dwarf Rune Craftsman Association, the chief rune. Master Tinker Clark - The personal imprint of the Harsh One, signifying that it is his work.
This box is more expensive than a farm estate.
Seeing Ryan coming in, the Fairy of the Lake, who was in high spirits, and the Witch of the Lake God, who was pressing her skirt and her face was full of suspicious red, surrounded her.
"What is this, dear?" The Fairy in the Lake asked with interest as she watched Ryan put the big box on the ground.
"Lian, what did you do outside, why... why did you come back." Mogiana didn't look strange on the surface, but her walking posture was a bit strange, and her face was very red, almost subconsciously holding Ryan's arm, half hidden behind him, as if looking for a safe haven.
"This is something I ordered from the Supreme King last time, and it's finally ready." Ryan put down the big box, took out the key and opened it.
"This is?!" Dazzling light diffused from the gap in the box.
The attention of the fairy in the lake and the witch of the lake god was instantly attracted by the things inside the big box.
On the thick silk and velvet, there are eleven short walking sticks, about 50 centimeters long and 3.5 centimeters in diameter.
These eleven canes are all made of vibrating gold, mithril and gold, diamonds and gemstones of various colors. The workmanship is exquisite. The dwarven runes on the canes are shining. The powerful rune power is a gift and a symbol of friendship from Eternal Peak. At the same time, it also contains the effect of protecting and greatly strengthening the user's ability.
Both ends of the cane are decorated with embossed patterns, the middle is engraved with dozens of irises reliefs, one end is a lion sculpture made of vibrating gold, and the other end is embossed with a king's crown.
"This is the Britannia marshal scepter I customized from Eternal Peak." Ryan picked up a scepter, and the king couldn't help playing with it.
"After this incident is over and I return to China, I will officially confer the ten marshals of Britannia!"
"This is the marshal candidate list I envisioned. Now, ma'am, Morgiana, let us go into details?"
