Hearing the unpleasant words, Mohali smiled after putting down the water glass.
"What do you think we will lose by cooperating with vampires? What will we gain?"
"Loss? Gain?" Collins frowned, and said slowly after thinking.
"The loss may be that we will teach them to make bows, so that the halfling's most powerful weapon will fall into the hands of these vampires.
The harvest is..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly got stuck, because Collins suddenly discovered that, apart from this loss, it seemed that Black Iron Fort was gaining in comparison to other cooperations.
Especially the option that the other party will help them train spellcasters makes him feel that his bow and arrow manufacturing skills are not so valuable.
"Now, I think you already have the answer, Collins, that vampire is right, if you are not strong, you will be eliminated.
We have no way of knowing what happened in the outside world, but even if what this vampire said is wrong, even life like the fourth natural disaster does not exist at all.
But so what?
Isn't it a good thing for us to make Black Iron Castle stronger and let us Gray Claw tribe control our own destiny? ?
In my opinion, the biggest problem now is not that there is a problem with the cooperation between us and the vampire, but whether the other party's city is really as powerful as he said..."
Hearing this, Collins instantly felt his thoughts become clear.
In fact, cooperation is not a problem, because the Black Iron City gains far more than what it loses in the cooperation. The key question is whether the vampires have so many resources and strength to support such a large-scale cooperation.
After figuring out the key, Collins immediately made up his mind.
"I'll talk to that vampire again."
Level 18 Archmage Mohali took a deep look at Santo Collins, feeling inexplicably moved.
"Collins, you are looking more and more like your father.
You only need to remember one point in this cooperation. The Black Iron City is the Black Iron City of the Gray Claw tribe. We cannot let those vampires weaken our control over this city in the name of cooperation.
The rest can be discussed.
It is best to carry out small-scale cooperation first, and then expand the scope for comprehensive cooperation after the initial contact is no problem. "
"I see, Lord Mohali."
After Collins left, Mohali stood up raggedly and came to the place where Collins was standing just now, looking out the window with his deep yellow eyes.
Those hawk-like eyes seemed to pass through the towering city walls at this moment, through the eternal silence and grayness, and saw the end of the world.
The sky of the underground world is as eternal as ever, dark and gray.
"Why do I always feel a sense of urgency in my heart... Is it like 20 years ago, did a catastrophe happen? My intuition has worked countless times, and I hope it will fail once..."
"Your Majesty Kapolots, the great halfling god, I hope you can give me guidance again. Your loyal believer, Mohali, prays to you..."
Chapter 352 Back to dawn, a new round of farming (5400 words)
Watching the level 18 halfling city lord Collins leave the hotel, Dylan gently closed the door, turned around and looked at Li De, who was sitting in front of the round table with a calm expression, in puzzlement.
"Your Majesty, do we really want to cooperate with halflings so vigorously?
However, the strength of this city is impossible to hold our long sword. As long as you are willing, this city can plant the flag of the City of Dawn in three sundays.
The weak are not qualified to bargain with the strong. "
Hearing this, Li De took an angry look at the second-generation blood, "Are you raising a magic bat to raise a fool?"
Dylan was taken aback, then touched his nose in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, I..."
"After I go back, I will study with Harrison for a period of time, and exercise my management ability and overall situation."
Li De will not be polite to his blood, "You haven't been in touch with high-level things for too long, your eyesight has fallen behind.
If you don't want to keep the magic language bat forever, and you won't even be qualified to follow me on the battlefield in the future, just work hard.
This world has never been fair. If your talent is not as strong as others, then you can only work harder.
Dylan, don't let me down. "
The smartest of the second-generation blood descendants are undoubtedly Harrison and Frey. Now, one of them is the speaker of the city hall, and the other is in charge of the trade between the short hills and the murloc tribe. They are both able to stand alone.
Although Dylan is fairly smart, he is obviously still a bit behind the two of them, and needs additional training.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Dylan lowered his head a little ashamed. He had indeed been cultivating magic bats during this period of time. He hadn't followed Li De for a long time, and he couldn't keep up with the rapid development of Dawn City.
The world has always been cruel and helpless, if you don't move forward, no one will wait for you.
Li De's expression softened slightly.
"Your doubts are not unreasonable. Although the strength of Black Iron Castle is not bad, as long as we want to occupy it, we will definitely be able to occupy it.
But have you ever thought about what happens after the occupation? ?
What is our purpose in occupying this city?
Is it to expand the territory?Is it to plunder resources?Or for something else? "
Dylan's face froze again, and he immediately understood how shallow his thoughts were just now, and took a deep breath.
"Your Majesty, I understand."
"What do you understand?" Li De opened his eyes slightly, looking directly at the second-generation descendant, with the attitude of a teacher asking to the end when he was in school.
Dylan responded respectfully.
"Your Majesty, our purpose in coming to the dungeon is not to occupy this land, but to obtain more resources to promote the development of Dawn City.
Just like the low mountains and hills, as long as the Black Iron Fort initially accepts the City of Daybreak, the Black Iron Fortress will be unable to resist under the erosion of the strong productivity of the City of Daybreak.
Sooner or later, the city ruled by the halflings will become part of the city of Daybreak under the subtle influence. "
Hearing this, Li De's expression softened slightly.
"Well, you haven't completely lost your ability to think.
But this is only one aspect, the role of the Black Iron Fortress is just that, and you will know it later.
Have you counted the several cooperation projects I asked you to record just now? "
"Your Majesty, the statistics have been finished, do you need me to report again?"
"Say it again."
After receiving the order, Dylan picked up the notebook in his hand and began to repeat the terms of cooperation that Collins had just discussed with Li De.
"First, the halflings send no less than 300 bow and arrow makers to Daybreak City to jointly set up a research institute to research and improve bows and arrows and other weapons and equipment, and share the results.
The City of Dawn will send 50 mages above level 5 to Black Iron Castle to help the halflings train mages, and promise to train at least 200 official mages within two years.
The second is the military mutual aid plan. Dawn City sends 2000 human soldiers to the Black Iron Fort. The halflings will train them to become archers. At the same time, the training fee for each human soldier is 10 goldpucks.
Daybreak City will dispatch ten occupations including blacksmiths, tailors, and doctors, with a total number of no less than 200 occupations to help the halflings of Black Iron Fort cultivate relevant talents.
Third, cooperation in economic and trade exchanges, allowing both parties to freely enter each other's cities for transactions, allowing free circulation of goods...
Fourth, allow Dawn City to preach in Black Iron Fort and recruit other races...
Fifth, mutual assistance in offense and defense. In times of crisis, without endangering yourself, you can protect each other in the form of employment...
sixth……
......"
There were nearly twenty pieces here and there, and Li De nodded in satisfaction after listening to Dylan's summary.
"Send these terms back to Harrison immediately." After speaking, he gave Dylan a meaningful look.
"Dylan, the appearance of halflings gave us a good opportunity, because no other forces have ever entered Daybreak City.
Now under our control, safely introducing some outsiders into the city may activate the potential of Daybreak City to a greater extent. "
Speaking of this, Li De had some emotion in his eyes.
"Currently, Dawn City is a planned economy. What to produce and how to produce are all regulated by us. The advantage of this is that we can control the development of the city.
The disadvantages are also obvious. The products produced under such a system are not competitive or innovative.
Merchants are all profit-seeking. Once the trade is opened, there will always be people who want to earn Kimpuk in the pockets of outsiders, and this will directly promote the development of the city. "
Trade has a powerful role in promoting the economy and society. The huge profits will prompt businessmen to increase production efficiency, improve production technology, and innovate more goods at the same time. This is why the market economy is the mainstream economic system of the earth.
Dawn City has always been in the era of planned economy. There was no condition to do this before, but now there is an opportunity. Li De is naturally willing to let the market transition from planned economy to market economy in an orderly manner.
Of course, the premise of all this is that it is in his hands, safe and controllable.
Halflings are a very good test subject. These underground beings are not only underground, but also extremely closed and have no contact with the human world.
Next, he will open part of the market in Daybreak City, turning these halflings into catfish, and stimulate the development of Daybreak City.
As for whether he can achieve the desired effect, Li De is still confident about it.
The city of Daybreak now has the foundation to develop a market economy, and has already passed the initial stage of extreme lack of supplies.
The layout has never focused on the front, after the placement, it is the future.
"Dylan, don't look at the momentary gains and losses when doing anything, the future is what we have to plan for.
Whether it is the Black Iron Fort or the underground world, in my opinion, they are nothing more than nourishment for the development and growth of the City of Daybreak.
When you stand outside the chessboard and lay out the layout, you will find that the problems that are bothering you now will be solved instantly. "
Reed's patient teaching gave Dylan a sense of enlightenment.
Unexpectedly, a cooperation that seemed to be at a disadvantage for them actually contained such profound meaning.
On the surface, it is a loss, but secretly, it has already looked at the problem from another level, and the benefits obtained by doing so are ten times and a hundred times more than the sacrifices.
"Your Majesty, your wisdom is enough to amaze the Goddess of Darkness, and the Holy Light Blood Race is great because of your existence!"
Li De glanced at him angrily, this flattery was too aggressive.
"Okay, take someone to clear out the area assigned to us by the Lord of Collins. From now on, you will be in charge of the Black Iron Fort and all the underground world."
"Your Majesty, this..." Hearing these words, Dylan felt that his breathing was a little heavy.
A pressure spread.
The whole underground world has made him responsible, isn't this responsibility too great?
"Are you trying to say you can't do it?"
Li De's eyes narrowed, showing a bit of coldness, "Frey can do it, what right do you have to say you can't?
Dylan, if you want to grow, you have to face pressure. A knight who can't hold his sword tightly to face the dragon's power cannot become a dragon slayer.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight first. "
Dylan was shocked, and his mentality changed drastically immediately. When he turned his head to look at Li De again, his eyes were full of determination.
"Your Majesty, I will guard the underground world for you. No one can destroy your plan unless he steps over my corpse!"
The tone is decisive and firm as a mountain.
Hearing this, Li Decai nodded in satisfaction. As an old father, he really broke his heart. If I hadn't been your father, I would have thrown him out a long time ago.
After a while, Li De seemed to remember something, and continued to speak.
"Those halflings must forbid them to talk about things in the swamp."
He didn't forget that there is also a reward in the form of a half quest - if more than 5 halflings return to the dungeon alive, they will get 10 points of underground world fame.
The problem now is that the six halflings have returned to Black Iron City, but the rewards have not been distributed, which also made Li De have other ideas.
Popularity is likely to be the same as he guessed, it needs to be publicized and gained the trust of others.
But in order to avoid problems, he still planned to keep the halfling for observation for a while.
He has already thought up a lot of tricks, and it will definitely be very interesting to implement.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have sent these halflings to act with the blood clan, and the blood clan will supervise them."
