Chapter 1171 Sharing What We Have
Surella, the chief of the Vortex Mountains dwarves, looked at Gavin eagerly and said, "Sir Restarter, can our Vortex clan join the construction plan of the underground guide vehicle? We are willing to offer all the detailed information about the Dark Region in our hands, and unconditionally support the Lord of Zalanda."
The situation has completely reversed now.
It is no longer Gavin who wants to absorb these dwarves, but they are begging to join Gavin's plan.
There is no way, who makes this matter too attractive to them.
"I have a better arrangement for you. It's not too late to make a decision after you have seen this arrangement." Gavin did not answer directly, but said mysteriously, "It's a bit too empty to explain it with words. Why don't we go to another place and talk after seeing the real thing."
"Where to go?" Surella asked curiously.
"You will know when you get there." Gavin said mysteriously, "This is a small surprise. Let's all come together."
As he spoke, he had already activated the mass teleportation spell, and the teleportation magic aura enveloped everyone.
The next second, they were already in the wilderness.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
What they heard was a huge hammering sound - that was the sound of a huge hammer hitting a rock.
Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound and saw a stunned scene.
A half-human, half-bear bear man was swinging a golden hammer shaped like a coffin, hitting the surrounding protruding rocks.
This situation was not uncommon, but the size of this bear man was rare. They had to tilt their necks nearly 60 degrees to see his full appearance - super giant.
A super giant bear man.
Everyone present knew what this size meant?
Godhead Dharma.
This is a demigod.
A demigod who is doing hard labor.
This series of information combined together is a bit explosive.
Gavin and his team had just teleported to the place, and the violent blue bear, who was busy crushing the rocks, immediately felt something in his heart, turned around and bowed to Gavin, and said in a muffled voice: "Sir Road Builder, you are here."
"Keep busy, don't worry about us." Gavin waved at the violent blue bear.
"Okay." The violent blue bear turned around and attacked the rocks in front of him again, and the super-giant war predator danced vigorously.
Every attack gave the illusion of a landslide, and a large number of rocks were directly and violently smashed.
He didn't feel like doing hard labor, on the contrary, he enjoyed it, because he was building a nest for himself, which would be related to his future development.
Gavin then turned to explain to everyone: "This is Lord Blue Bear, the violent god of the Father of Battle, the protagonist of the Winter Feast, and he is now building the foundation for the mountain city that is about to be built.
This is the Earth Stone I mentioned earlier, a blessing from Mother Earth."
"Building the foundation of the mountain city! Earth Stone! This is Serenager Peak!"
Everyone finally reacted at this time and turned their attention to the Earth Stone.
The Earth Stone at this time is a little different from the beginning. It is no longer red, but red and yellow. Its surface has been plated with a layer of gold by the gold it has extracted, which makes it look more noble and full of attractive luster.
"Gold!? A device that can extract gold on a large scale?"
The one who reacted the most to the Earth Stone was not the Star Chosen Dwarf Chief Surila.
Instead, the crowned couple from the Wildas Forest could not help but let out a low roar, and the golden and copper light rose from their bodies. Their eyes turned directly into dragon pupils, revealing unconcealable greed.
"Oh no, I forgot about this." Gavin cried out inwardly.
He forgot that the couple were two dragon covenant warlocks, and there were two dragons standing behind them, who had a deep-rooted fanaticism for precious metals, especially gold and silver.
The other party now clearly saw the situation here through their eyes.
Although the two metal dragons in the good camp signed the covenant with them, the dragon's kindness standard is not exactly the same as that of humans.
"Back off!" The crowned man shouted in a low voice, and the golden light that radiated from his body began to be forcibly restrained.
Obviously, he did not like the greed that erupted from the golden dragon that signed the covenant with him, and suppressed it, and the two sides had a will confrontation in the air.
Everyone could clearly feel the reluctant dragon roar, but his dragon pupils still faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his eyes regained clarity.
The Crowned One won the will confrontation and suppressed his dragon ally.
However, his wife Rachela failed to resist. A large amount of dragon power rose from her body. Not only did her skin begin to become scaly, but a pair of huge red copper dragon wings stretched out from her back, and her state was very similar to when Sanobar transformed into a black dragon lady.
"Wake up!" The Crowned One cast a spell on his wife with his backhand.
The dragon transformation on her body was immediately suppressed and faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Crowned One gestured to everyone in an unnatural way: "Sorry, I made you laugh."
Gavin smiled and said, "I understand. Dragons have never been easy to control. It is very rare to be able to do what the Crowned One has done."
Everything has a price, especially borrowing power from a being stronger than oneself, which must be affected by the other party's synchronization.
This synchronization influence is in all aspects, including the soul will.
The greater the gap in strength between the two sides, the greater the synchronization influence.
This is true across all faiths.
"Thank you." Valentino, the one wearing the crown, nodded and said nothing more.
For him, who is proud and arrogant, this is a kind of embarrassing behavior in public, which is a bit unbearable.
Gavin did not dwell too much on this issue. He turned to the leader of the Star Swirl dwarves who was circling the Earth Stone and said, "I don't need to explain its value and function to the leader, right?"
"No need, no need, no need." Surila said repeatedly.
Her eyes were also shining, but instead of greed, they were excited.
"Perfect, it's so perfect. There is the divine power of Mother Earth on it. This is the handiwork of the Great Mother.
No wonder he is called the Stone of the Earth. This is clearly the power of fire that suppresses the earth's veins and can balance the earth's magma and even the fire elemental plane.
We can completely tailor-make equipment for it, absorb its flame power for our own use, and build a brand new dwarf steelmaking and forging assembly line, but we just don’t know if there are iron ores under the Marching Mountains. "
The leader of the Star Swirl dwarves circled around the Earth Stone and muttered his ideas.
"I don't know if there are iron ores, but there are definitely gold mines, and it already has the ability to automatically extract gold ores."
Gavin stopped being pretentious and directly stated his vision, "Not only do I want to build a mountain city for the Goliaths here, but I also want to build an automated mint here to manufacture these two-god coins on a large scale... "
As he spoke, golden light bloomed in Gavin's hand, and a double god coin appeared out of thin air.
It was not the original double divine coin that was a sub-artifact, it was shaped by the trade lady in his soul with the divine power of wealth.
For Waking, this is something that is easy to grasp. As long as she has seen the currency, she can shape it with divine power. There is no question of authenticity at all, it is real, but she will not do so easily.
Currency is a measurement tool, its value is determined by the productivity of the entire society, and its own value is relatively limited.
If she were to use her divine power to cast it on a large scale at will, it would cause unnecessary economic fluctuations. Not only would it not be beneficial to the development of her divine power, it would have the opposite effect.
If necessary, the goddess of wealth does not mind this kind of grace, just to see if it can create greater value.
It wasn't that Gavin was stingy and didn't want to show the original two divine coins to others, but that he didn't want to continue to irritate the two giant dragons behind the two Dragon Pact warlocks.
The Earth Stone alone is enough for them to worry about. If a gold coin sub-artifact is added, who knows what crazy things they can do.
As the old saying goes, wealth should not be revealed in vain.
Show them something because that's the basis of cooperation.
But there is no need to show off some things that are not necessary.
I don’t know if it was Gavin’s illusion, but even when faced with such an ordinary double god coin, the pupils of the two Dragon Pact warlocks were involuntarily shrinking, and the dragon’s vertical pupils were looming.
Gavin was full of confidence in the appearance of the Double God Coin, and no creature could find fault with it.
"Automated mint?" Surila, the leader of the Vortex dwarves, immediately reacted and asked excitedly, "Could it be that Your Excellency the Restarter wants to hand over this task to our Vortex clan?"
"I wonder if you have this honor?" Gavin answered the question with a rhetorical question.
"This is our honor." Surila was dancing excitedly, but then a question came to her mind, "Why doesn't Your Excellency the Restarter give this task to Chief Jihalin and his Black Iron Clan?"
Shouldn't such good things start from within ourselves?
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
How could it be the turn of outsiders like them?
"Chief Jihalin and the others are only temporarily staying in Colossus City. They are using the place to regroup the Black Iron clan. When they are ready, sooner or later they will embark on a journey to regain the Tesyama Mine."
Gavin explained, "Furthermore, the operation of one Colossus City has already taken up most of their energy. If you add the construction of underground rail cars, even three times the number of dwarves in Colossus City will not be enough."
Although the explanation he gave was righteous, the real purpose was not to put all the eggs in one basket - not to rely too much on the Black Iron Clan led by Chief Jihalin.
In particular, mints and steel mills both provide hard currency and are the lifeblood of a territory.
Putting it in different places and in the hands of different people is the foundation for long-term peace and stability.
"Your Excellency the Restarter's mind is far broader than the legend." Surila did not doubt that he was there, but praised Gavin's explanation.
As a dwarf, she can better understand the desire of the Black Iron clan headed by Jihalin to restore the country.
This kind of persistence is buried deep in the bones of every dwarf. Not only will it not fade away as time goes by, but it will continue to deepen.
No matter how good the restarted Colossus City is, it is not their mine, nor is it their former home. Even if it is far inferior to their new home, they cannot let it go completely.
Unless after regaining it, they find that they can no longer sustain their dwarf life there, and they voluntarily abandon it.
"This is a matter of mutual benefit. Jihalin Clan Chief and the others have a place to recuperate and reorganize the team. I will use their hands to completely restart Colossus City. Without them, how could Colossus City have been able to grow so quickly?" If we restart, we won’t have the current annual output of 100,000 tons.”
Gavin responded sincerely, "This is my philosophy of cooperation. It is the same with the Black Iron Clan and your Star Vortex Clan. As long as you are willing to join, I can absolutely guarantee that your life will be qualitatively improved."
"I believe in the Restarter, but this is not a trivial matter. I need to go back to the tribe and discuss it with the tribe members." Chief Surila gave a conservative answer, "But there is one thing, please rest assured, Restarter, we will definitely join in. It's just a matter of sending some tribe members or moving the whole tribe."
"Understand." Gavin responded with a smile, "Neither the mountain city nor the mint can be achieved overnight. There are still many technical problems to be overcome and supporting facilities to be built. You still have enough time to consider this issue.
And as we develop, you don't have to make a choice, you can have both.
Don't forget, we are preparing to build an underground rail car, and the Colossus City to Dalaoma is only the first phase of the project.
Once it is confirmed to be feasible, there will be phases 2, 3, and 4, and it will only be a matter of time for the Marching Mountains to reach the Vortex Mountains.
By then, it is not impossible to live in the Vortex Mountains and work in the Marching Mountains. "
This modern commuting concept made the Vortex Dwarf Chief yearn for it, and he couldn't help but look forward to it: "I really look forward to such a lifestyle coming soon. "
"Don't worry, this day will not be too far away, but when it really comes, you won't be so expectant. "Gavin said in the tone of an experienced person.
"Whether it meets expectations, the premise is that it is built first. If it is not even built, then everything is empty talk. "Suri said back a very philosophical word.
"That makes sense." Gavin didn't dwell on this issue. "You can take your time to mobilize all the staff, but the craftsmen who are proficient in alchemy must be in place as soon as possible to cooperate with Master Flancini to build and design the automated mint."
"Master Flancini? Is she the designer of the element concentrator?" Surella asked hurriedly.
"Yes, that's her."
"I will definitely select people as soon as possible and lead the team to join her." Surella rubbed her hands, obviously showing an eagerness.
"Now that we have reached a basic consensus, we can discuss the issue of trade goods." When saying this, Gavin's eyes turned to the Crowned Valentino again.
Upon hearing this question, the Crowned One's eyes immediately became sharp, "Let me be frank, we will never sell a large amount of wood!"
Gavin laughed and said, "Your Excellency the Crowned One is too sensitive. There are more than just trees in the forest. When has my development been based on large-scale destruction of forests?
Even if a large amount of wood is really needed one day, I will definitely formulate a compensation mechanism to at least cut down one and a half to ensure the sustainable use of forest resources."
The Crowned One's expression eased a lot after hearing this, "So that's it, I'm really too sensitive, what do you want from us?"
"Tears of the weeping tree." Gavin took out a can of sticky liquid and handed it to the Crowned One, saying, "How much of this tear is there, I will eat as much as you have!"
He has verified that this tear can be used as a substitute for rubber and can be harvested on a large scale.
But he is not going to get involved in this industry himself, but to hand it over to the elves and natural spirits.
They are not spotless. As long as there is profit driving and it does not cause fatal damage to the forest, there will definitely be people who are tempted.
"Tear glue? Are you sure you want to eat as much as you want?" The crowned man asked in surprise, "Do you know how much the tear glue tree produces annually? How many tear glue trees are there in Vidal Forest?"
"Really?" Gavin was just trying to find out. He didn't know if there were tear glue trees in Vidal Forest, let alone how many there were. He asked carefully, "If you harvest with all your strength, how much will the annual output be?"
"The use of tear glue is limited. We have never done this before." The crowned man conservatively estimated, "It should be no problem to produce more than a thousand tons per year."
"Thousands of tons per year!" Gavin laughed again, "You scared me. I thought the annual output could reach tens of thousands of tons! Thousands of tons is not a question of whether it can be digested, but whether it is enough.
But it's better to have it than not, at least it's better than starting from scratch.
Please lead your people to collect it as much as possible. I will definitely give you a satisfactory price, at least to ensure that the price of dry tear glue will not be lower than the same weight of dwarf steel ingots."
"The same weight of dwarf steel ingots?" The crowned man's pupils shrank involuntarily, and he looked excited.
For the elves, collecting the tear gum from the tear gum tree is just a slightly cumbersome process. The most suitable time to collect the tear gum is from the late night to the early morning.
But they can't do anything about steel.
The deal Gavin offered is equivalent to growing steel ingots directly on the tear gum tree.
This is easier for them to accept than the previous exchange of wood for steel with the Vortex Mountain Dwarves.
After all, as long as the tear gum is extracted in the right way, it will not cause harm to the tear gum tree.
Surila, the chief of the Vortex Dwarves, couldn't help but admire: "Your Excellency the Restarter has really considered all aspects. Not only has he arranged a better way out for our clan, but he has also found a better steel trade channel for His Excellency the Crowned One.
This is a trading method that benefits everyone. I am now full of confidence in future development."
"War plunder is a zero-sum game. The gain of one party must mean the loss of the other party."
Gavin took the opportunity to spread his own development concept, "But construction and development are win-win choices. In this process, everyone can get their own share of benefits.
Believe me, this is just the beginning. As long as you don't become an obstacle to construction and development, you can enjoy the rich fruits of the development train together."
"We have begun to feel this now." The crowned Valentino said the first sentence of recognition of Gavin since they met (end of this chapter)
