King from scratch

While the devil's villa was in chaos, another group of people's conversations had just begun.

"What?" Adisseo King stopped the tool cart, glanced at Dorona, climbed off the tool cart, and signaled the other dwarves to continue working.

He took Duolong into the "black factory" of the dwarves, bypassing the first floor where the players were busy hammering their hammers; walked through the slightly deserted second floor; paused for two seconds on the third floor where there were only a few people; Into the fourth floor.

"Did a dwarf go up just now?"

The player who was concentrating on completing the design work on the third floor suddenly became alarmed, glanced at the empty stairs, and asked another player present.

The other player was so absorbed in the design that he didn't hear his question at all.

"It might be an illusion. I've never seen a dwarf go up to the fourth floor." He muttered, put the illusion behind him, and started thinking hard about the design in front of him again.

The fourth floor is empty and quiet, only the huge reactor burns quietly, revealing a few wisps of blue light.

It runs through the entire building and is the main console and power source for all the tools in the building.

The main console isn't push buttons, and there's no place to interact other than a simple emergency stop wrench.

On the front of the huge reaction furnace, there is a faint blue dot, and directly above the blue dot is the dwarf's totem and a warning not to touch it.

Adisseo King stepped forward, took out the big hammer and began to swing the hammer without saying a word.

The ubiquitous sound of "Kang Dang Bang Dang" in this building sounded on the fourth floor.

The blue dots on the reaction furnace flickered in one piece, as if suddenly waking up.

After Adisseo King put down the sledgehammer, the door on the fourth floor slid down, closing the exit.

Dorona briefly recounted the situation: "Didn't the king organize an expedition? I thought I would drop by anyway, so I stopped by to meet the dwarves on the top of the mountains..."

Adisseo King knew that the IQ of the tribe was not high among intelligent creatures, but this kind of self-operation still exceeded his imagination.

Adisseo King: "So you helped the king find them yourself?"

The dwarf, who always had a loud voice, retorted in a low voice: "The king didn't come to find them, he came to find the treasure of the kingdom."

Andy Su Jin took a deep breath: "Didn't you help him find it yourself? The treasure of the dwarf kingdom."

Dorona rebutted Adisseo King's words: "Romu said that the treasure of the dwarven kingdom is our history, our spirit of unity, and nothing else."

Adisseo King gave up arguing with him and went straight to the next topic: "So the dragons have declared war on the human kingdom?"

Hearing this, Dorona eagerly sent out an invitation: "How about we leave the human kingdom and go back to the top of the mountains?"

"Although Luo Mu and the others are deep at the bottom of the mountain, there is an entire city that is survivable and will not be affected by the war between the dragon clan and the human kingdom..."

Adisseo King: "Do you think it's still unknown under the circumstances?"

Duo Longna is not stupid, of course he knows that after Luo Mu and the others appeared in front of the expedition team, the existence of Luo Mu and the others is no longer a secret.

He said this because he was convinced that it would be extremely safe there.

"That's a city built by dwarves." Dorona emphasized the word "dwarf": "A fortress that has been run by dwarves for thousands of years is enough for them to be prepared for emergencies."

Dorona is sure: "Especially after they have absorbed the lessons of the dwarf kingdom."

"If they are willing to accept you, I can help you resign from the king."

Dorona: "Aren't you together?"

"I am a citizen of the kingdom." Andysu King reminded the other party.

"Then don't be a citizen of the kingdom." Dorona urged Andy Su Jin: "The dwarves are waiting for you to come back."

"First of all, I don't want to be the leader of the dwarves. Secondly, if you need someone to help you save something, the most important thing you should do is to stand up for yourself. Finally, commitment is a very serious thing."

Adisseo King looked at Dorona: "You want to be an enemy of the human kingdom?"

Absolutely not.

Dorona had seen enough miracles in the human kingdom, and these miracles were enough for him to dispel this dangerous idea.

"The king didn't ask you to pay more for staying in the kingdom. This doesn't mean that he doesn't care about such a naked provocation."

After a little silence, Adisseo King asked another question based on his understanding of the tribe: "And Luo Mu and the others are willing to accept you?"

Dorona was surprised by the question: "Will he not?"

Adisseo King continued to ask: "So, did you get their support during this visit?"

"No." Dorona complained: "They rejected me. They are too brainy. They must wait until the Dwarf King before they are willing to act. But the most important thing now is that the division of the Dwarf Kingdom has not yet been resolved..."

Adisseo King once again reflected on why he let Dorona join the expedition so hastily.

Adisseo King changed the question: "What do you think of the king's previous proposal?"

Dorona didn't even think about it, and said directly: "We are not here to get a place to live. We will always be the citizens of the dwarf kingdom, and this will not change."

He looked at Andy Su King: "If the human king supports us, the dwarf kingdom is not impossible to unify."

This topic can be called a commonplace among them.This time, Adisseo King decided to go a little deeper.

"Then what do you think is the price to be paid for the support of the human king?"

Dorona was stunned for two seconds: "The king said that the civil strife of other races has nothing to do with him, but if it is related to the people of the kingdom, then he will stand by the people of the kingdom."

"Doesn't this mean that he will support you?"

"On the premise that I am a citizen of the kingdom?" Andysu King showed the deepest meaning of this sentence in front of Dorona: "If I am a citizen of the kingdom and I am crowned king, what do you think, the dwarf What is the relationship between the kingdom and the human kingdom?"

Dorona hesitated: "Brothers alliance?"

Adisseo King looked at him calmly, watching his expression change from hesitation to disbelief to hesitation.

"A vassal of the human kingdom?"

Unlike Adisseo King's intense emotion on this point, Dorona's emotional reaction was not intense, and even had a sense of nothing more than that: "But at that time, the dwarf kingdom had already been unified."

For the dwarves, the division of the dwarf kingdom is a wound that cannot be ignored. As for the vassal state?It took a dwarf half a day to understand the word.

Dorona said indifferently: "The unified dwarf kingdom has enough options."

This so-called room for choice means that they can completely turn their faces and deny people, cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Dorona thought for a few seconds, and was a little puzzled: "But does the human king really think so?"

"If he really thinks so, there's no need to choose you," Dorona said surprisingly, "Choose a dwarf at random, such as me, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble and directly achieve the goal?"

Duo Longna's self-awareness is very clear: "Anyway, I'm definitely not as smart as you, and I won't find out the problem."

Adisseo King was surprised that Dorona could think of this: "So you mean that the purpose of the king is not this?"

Dorona scratched his head: "I don't know, but the king's man is very good..." He looked at Andy Su Jin: "He also helped us find the treasure."

"The words Luo Mu said at the time were shocking, but I didn't remember those words..."

Dorona thought for a long time and gave up: "Anyway, unity, exploration and history, this is a treasure that we have forgotten."

Dorona said solemnly: "We should unite, continue to explore, and keep history in mind, so that we can regain the former dwarf kingdom."

Adisseo King: Co-author, we have been talking for a long time now, but you don't understand what we are discussing at all?

After persuading himself, Duolongna said in a relaxed tone, regardless of what Adisseo King thought, "I'll go down to work..." Duolonga paused, recalling the design drawings: "Which part is being built now?"

Adisseo King was still immersed in his thoughts, and said casually after hearing the words: "The botanical garden..."

"Then I'll go down to help," Dorona greeted him, and walked out with ease, muttering as he walked, "There is a druid in the expedition team, and the third building on the blueprint happens to be a botanical garden. , What a coincidence."

Adisseo King sighed faintly behind him, spontaneously with unmovable sincerity.

In the turbulent situation because of the treasure, the first to react is the behemoth based in another world.

He Xingwen welcomed the long-lost visit from He Xiangwen, the deputy leader of the investigation and development team of the different world.

Although the other party has a simple version of the holographic game helmet, for various reasons, this helmet is completely used by the other party as a channel to communicate with His Majesty the King.

"Long time no see." He Xiangwen greeted He Xingwen, glanced at the map hanging in the conference hall, and sat opposite He Xingwen.

He Xingwen, who went online on time and on time, sighed sincerely: "I found that there are a lot of people looking for me recently."

"You did a great thing."

He Xiangwen picked up the kettle, made enough food and clothing by himself, poured two glasses of boiled water, and pushed it in front of He Xingwen, as if he was ready to have a long talk.

He Xingwen: "I remember that the player came back from the top of the mountains very early, so I probably didn't hear the follow-up."

He Xingwen didn't intend to have a long talk - he was much busier than the other party, although the author didn't write it, but in fact, even if Zhe helped him share the trivial government affairs, He Xingwen still spent a lot of time planning the development of the kingdom and formulating development plans on these two things.

The kingdom is developing too fast, and the timeliness of planning and planning is shortened accordingly. They need to respond in time to ensure that everything remains on track.

What's more, in addition to this, He Xingwen also has to face the problems of how to improve the "holographic game", promote the holographic game, and regulate the uncontrollable behavior of players.

These are not the end. In addition to these, He Xingwen also needs to pay attention to the progress of "spiritual energy recovery" and changes in earth politics.

This is why the existence of the system is very important to He Xingwen. The system simplifies these things to the point where He Xingwen will not die from overwork, allowing the two worlds to operate in an orderly manner under the premise of the optimal solution.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously extremely inefficient and unnecessary for He Xingwen to waste time on language probing.

"But it seems that you have already guessed the continuation of that conversation." He Xingwen went straight to the point: "Do you want ore?"

He thought for two seconds: "Is the recovery of spiritual energy controllable?"

Compared with before, His Majesty the King is stronger. It is not surprising that anyone who sits in the position of dictator for a long time will become stronger.

While making a judgment, He Xiangwen said: "The recovery of spiritual energy has just begun, perhaps because the content of ether on the earth is too low, and there have been no examples of human beings being affected by it..." He paused and asked He Xingwen: " should not?"

The system gave an affirmative answer: "The current ether content of the earth is not enough to make these effects material."

He Xingwen repeated the systematic answer.

Holding the cup in his hand, He Xiangwen said slowly, "In other words, human beings have already been affected, but the influence is too weak, so we haven't noticed it yet."

He Xingwen took a sip of water and didn't respond.

He Xiangwen continued: "We feel that under the current circumstances, the state of spiritual recovery can be advanced to the next step."

That is to say, they decided to promote the increase of ether concentration on the earth through the material exchange between the two worlds under controllable circumstances.

He Xingwen did not interfere with their decisions. In this regard, they had a tacit understanding, tried not to make any comments on each other's behavior, and maintained their cooperation cautiously.

"I don't need gold." He Xingwen: "It is not a good idea to use another world's equivalent to impact the original currency system of this world."

He Xiangwen added: "What's more, you have already found equivalents that are sufficient for daily consumption."

He Xingwen did not respond to his words: "So, what do you plan to exchange for ore this time?"

"We can provide a mining team..." He Xiangwen noticed that He Xingwen's eyebrows moved slightly, revealing a negative micro-expression, and then stopped talking.

"It sounds like you guys want another batch of 'gaming helmets'?"

Since workers are provided, they must first have game helmets before they can enter the game.

He Xiangwen explained: "Actually, we proposed the terms of exchange out of your needs. The Kingdom's current problem is that it is developing too fast, which has caused the Kingdom's population to fail to keep up, resulting in a large number of job vacancies."

Hit the nail on the head.

After the holographic game went from domestic to foreign, the energy that He Xingwen can get every day is enough to be called astronomical.

But most of this energy was spent on improving the basic game modules and maintaining the players' ether sea. The remaining energy was only enough for He Xingwen to revive several npcs every day. Compared with the development speed of the kingdom, it was simply a drop in the bucket.

The small number of subjects in the kingdom became a problem for the further development of the kingdom.

But this can only be called a hidden danger, and it has not yet reached the time of outbreak.

"About job vacancies," He Xingwen was noncommittal: "Ai Zhijin and dwarves can both help."

He Xiangwen disagreed with this idea: "This is exactly what Ai Zhijin wants."

"According to our judgment, Aizhijin is relying on solving problems for other forces and delaying the further development of other forces, thus making them the most special economy in the world."

He Xiangwen paused for a few seconds and asked He Xingwen, "How is your history?"

He Xingwen raised his eyes and looked at him: "It's better than you think."

"Then you should be able to understand this. In different social stages, the status of businessmen is also very different. This world cannot simply analogize the development of the earth, but we can agree on one thing. It is extremely inclusive. Different Political systems and different civilizations merge in one world."

"In this case, the superiority of the system is everything."

He Xiangwen briefly explained why Xingwen popularized science: "And there is no doubt that Aizhijin's merchant system has its special advantages, allowing Aizhijin to develop into a behemoth over a long period of time."

"If the Aether Gold does not exist, other forces that cannot easily obtain alchemy products and the help of mages will develop different alchemy and research on ether in order to achieve their goals, but because the Aether Gold exists, it is promoting When the connection between different races and different forces in the entire continent is cut off, it also cuts off the further exploration of other forces in related areas."

"But this is a kind of..." He Xingwen thought about the adjective: "It is inevitable, the necessity of economic development, the necessity of world integration. Different civilizations on the same continent will inevitably have exchanges and then conduct trade. Even if there is no Egyptian gold, There will be other merchant groups as well."

He Xiangwen agreed with his words: "So returning to our previous topic, when the cooperation between the Kingdom and Aizhijin deepens, Aizhijin will become an indispensable part of the Kingdom."

He Xiangwen briefly commented on this: "This is the method they are good at - to 'disappear' themselves from the eyes of other forces. People may care about the dynamics of the dwarf kingdom, the behavior of the human kingdom, and even the existence of the undead canyon, but they It is rare to put Aizhijin, which has no territory and is mainly engaged in commercial trade, on the world map."

"Because they can't do without the gold of Ai."

He Xingwen concluded: "So you have started to be vigilant against Ai Zhijin now?" It was too early to be vigilant.

He Xiangwen said meaningfully: "If a civilization or a country wants to exist long enough, the most important thing is to always be prepared."

"You convinced me."

He Xingwen turned the cup in front of him, and agreed to the other party's exchange of equivalent value: "Yes, this time the mining of the vein is based on you..." He Xingwen stopped talking and corrected the word: "We are the main one."

The follow-up on this point does not need them to be finalized at this moment - after all, He Xingwen is really busy, if he needs to discuss the details of this kind of negotiation in person, then he may really die from overwork.

The conversation should have come to an end here, but He Xiangwen obviously had something else to say.

"We have a small doubt," He Xiangwen said, "What is your purpose for making this matter big?"

He Xiangwen: "You don't need to form an expedition team to find the 'treasure', let alone drag dragons and druids into it, let alone let it develop to the point where the dragon clan declares war..."

"You did this on purpose." He Xiangwen said firmly.

"But the question is, why?"

"I'm also very surprised, you guys will directly ask me for the answer." He Xingwen said casually: "If you really want to know... I did this to save the world."

He Xiangwen really realized that he was really old and couldn't understand young people's enthusiasm for the title of savior.

"If I remember correctly, your system hinted at us before, you saved the planet?"

He Xingwen nodded: "Actually, your memory is quite good."

"So, you're telling me now... that you're preparing to save the world?"

He Xingwen blinked at him.

He Xiangwen did not categorically deny the other party's words, he thought for two seconds, and said uncertainly: "If there is anything in common between the two... is it that these two worlds are bordering?"

He Xingwen didn't answer this question, he motioned to the door and saw off the guests.

When He Xiangwen's back disappeared before his eyes, He Xingwen told the system: "You are right, they really thought of this."

The system is not surprising: "In fact, the superiority of the system is fully reflected in them. This is the only country on earth that can keep up with my thinking by relying on collective wisdom."

"Very high evaluation." He Xingwen stood up, ready to complete the planned itinerary: "It's time for me to confirm their research results with the mage."

The Kingdom has neglected the mage's research for a while, and in order to prevent the mage from producing anything that could destroy the world during this period, it is very necessary to pay attention to their research regularly.
