Chapter 2515 Transgression

It would be fine if they were just arranged in a circle, but within it, there are at least a dozen small islands and several medium-sized islands, which is unbearable.

The life of an apostle is long, and there will not be much change in thousands, ten thousand, or even billions of years, but human beings are different.

The longest-lived high priest of the orcs only lived for hundreds of thousands of years, but she was already very old. She needed the help of a waiter for daily life and travel. Without a waiter, she could not even travel far away.

Look at the Luke in front of him. He is not only capable of murdering people, but he is also very capable of bargaining and being cunning. This is the difference.

Once this island is assigned to Luke, the dozen small islands and several medium-sized islands surrounded by it will become his private territory invisibly.

Perhaps in our generation, Luke will not show any ambition to occupy it, but what about the next generation? What about ten generations later? What about after EMI?

One day, the binding force of the alliance will collapse, and when it collapses, it will be the day Luke takes over the island.

When one day, when future generations take an aircraft, cross the ocean, and arrive at this island that should belong to humans, will they be mercilessly attacked by Luke on the pretext of invading territory?

These are all issues that need to be considered.

Instead of doing this, it is better to centralize the islands to avoid many problems in the future.

"I also agree with the opinion of Grand Elder Priscilla. Luke, your island is not only too wide, but also too scattered. It is indeed suspected of encircling the sea and occupying the island. Moreover, if a town is built in the future, it will not be convenient for the movement of people. No? Why not choose neighboring islands to form an island country? This will not only facilitate the movement of people, but also facilitate jurisdictional control, what do you think?"

Luke was obviously not satisfied with my statement. He retorted: "You just said that I can choose the island freely."

"But it cannot affect the jurisdiction of other countries." Elder Priscilla said tit for tat: "Your Excellency, the dozen small islands and several middle islands surrounded by the island you selected all have extremely rich products. , these three small islands are rich in iron ore. This small island has a large amount of copper ore buried under it. Under these two small islands, there are rich oil resources. With a little mining, a huge amount of oil can be obtained. , as for other islands, they contain coal mines, gold mines, silver mines, hard manganese mines, wolframite mines, and even two gem mines!"

Elder Priscilla raised her head, stared at Luke closely, and said solemnly: "I believe that you must also be very aware of the value of these mineral deposits."

Luke frowned, scratched his head, and said angrily: "I didn't know that these islands would have such abundant mineral resources, so that's good. I only need to borrow manpower to help with the construction. As for the materials, I don't need them. But I want these islands.”

"Are your wishful thinking too loud?" Elder Priscilla took a deep breath and said unceremoniously: "The most resources needed to build a castle are stones, wood, and the value of these mineral deposits. It’s totally out of proportion!”

Facing Elder Priscilla who argued hard, Luke ignored her and turned his attention to me.

"That's my minimum standard."

Luke's deep voice sounded again.

"Objection! I object!" Elder Priscilla continued to be stubborn.

Sighing helplessly, I whispered: "Okay, I promise you, this island is yours."

Luke grinned, but Elder Priscilla became furious. She pointed her halberd at me and said, "An Xiaoyi! Your behavior is betraying important national resources! You will be condemned by the people of Moonlight City! You will become Sinners of mankind!”

"Save it, Elder Priscilla." I didn't bother to get angry with her, waved my hand, and said: "Moonlight City will not brand me as a sinner just because of these islands, and humans will not at least... In these hundreds of thousands of years, no one will remember the existence of these islands. Instead of doing this, it is better to leave it to Luke. Anyway, we are already allies. It is reasonable and reasonable for allies to communicate with each other. In the future, we may still He wants to send scholars to visit and study in his territory. I believe you will not refuse, right? My dear ally?"

As I said that, I looked at Luke with a smile.

The latter frowned, looked at me, then at the map, scratched his head, then his shoulders, hesitated for a moment, and then said vaguely: "Yeah."

"That's it." I stretched out my hand and said with a smile: "My most respected and closest ally."

Luke shook my hand reluctantly.

Upon seeing this, Master Dewey smiled with satisfaction. He magically took out two bottles of wine from his arms and placed them on the table. He also asked the waiter to bring the glasses and filled them up respectively. He took the lead in raising the glasses and said loudly: "Pre-emption." Happy alliance! Cheers!"

"Cheers!" I followed closely, clinked the glass and drank it in one gulp.

Both Luke and Elder Priscilla looked unhappy, especially Elder Priscilla. She was originally the protagonist of this negotiation, but she inexplicably allowed me to steal the spotlight and even asked the most critical question. How would it relieve her if she took her point of view out of the equation?

So when it came to the subsequent negotiations on human resources, Elder Priscilla simply kept silent.

However, the main matters have been negotiated, and this little matter does not matter whether she is there or not.

Master Dewey said that he could borrow a thousand dwarf craftsmen and a thousand goblin craftsmen from Luke to help him mine and smelt. During this period, the food expenses will be borne by Fort Vicky, but the maximum construction period can only be five years, and if it exceeds five years , the rest of the expenses will be borne by Luke, and the benefits such as food and accommodation cannot be reduced in the slightest.

Luke thought for a while and agreed to Master Dewey's proposal.

Since Elder Priscilla remained silent, I, as the deputy, naturally had to go to the front and act as the talker.

The population of Moonlight City is not as large as that of Fort Wych, and the number of skilled craftsmen is far less than that. In terms of strength, elves and goblins are far from the opponents of dwarves, so they will not show their shame in this aspect.

The advantage of elves lies in their sense of art. It can be said that elves are born for art, so they can play a big role in carving, weaving jewelry, and making hangings.

"If your castle needs statues, ornaments, and furnishings, Moonlight City can support you with a thousand elven art craftsmen to add beauty to your solid castle and make it look more majestic and majestic."

Luke was pleased with the result.

Elder Priscilla hesitated to speak at the side, her face looked as ugly as if it was painted with ink.

The finalization of the human resources aspect heralds the successful conclusion of the negotiations.

On the airship, Elder Priscilla sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, drinking.

Seeing this, I walked up to her with a smile and said in a deep voice: "Is the Great Elder still angry with me for overstepping my bounds?"
