Vol 2 Chapter 351: The 4th natural disaster,

"What does the fourth natural disaster have to do with our Black Iron Fort?"
What Collins said is like your arrest of Lu Xun has anything to do with Zhou Shuren?
Reed heard these words with deep meaning in his eyes, "City Lord Collins, everything has cause and effect.
The correlation is too big.
That group of greedy and disorderly existences has a strong possessive desire for everything.
Even the in the hands of the farmer, the hammer in the hands of the miner, and the copper Puke in the bowl of the beggar, they all have a possessive desire. The fourth natural disaster did not follow the concept of the rules, and they acted unscrupulously when they were immortal. "
After speaking, he paused for a moment and watched Collins's complexion visibly worsened and continued to increase his efforts.
"The life of the main plane cannot destroy them. These natural disasters will inevitably spread to places outside the main plane after the main plane cannot satisfy their desires.
Lord Collins, I bet you know how rich underground cities are in human legends.
Those greedy fourth natural disasters have a crazier desire to explore and conquer than humans on the surface.
When the underground world appeared in front of them, when the Black Iron Fort appeared in their sight, everything would change.
As for whether it’s a good change or a bad change, I think the Collins City Lord must be mentally prepared
Maybe you will usher in a new life, maybe, you will also usher in destruction. "
Reed has deep meaning in its eyes, and its tone seems to be persuasive.
In fact, he didn't lie at all, and he didn't say that the player will bring destruction, he just reminded the other party to be prepared.
But how could Collins not think badly, Reed gave all the information to reveal the horror of the other party. If the Dark Iron City is discovered by the group of natural disasters, the destruction may only be minor. Can the halfling race survive? It's all a problem down.
After crazy brain repair, a group of chaotic and bloodthirsty appeared in the mind of this 18th-level halfling, acting illogically, and encountering extremely evil beings that directly destroy everything around him.
This directly caused him tremendous psychological pressure.
"It is almost inevitable that the fourth natural disaster will appear in the underground world, and I came here because the blood race is about to face the challenges of these terrifying lives. I need to take advantage of the other side to strengthen my strength before we find us.
Collins City Lord, only with a strong power can he occupy a place in the future world full of variables.
Those greedy lives are too scary. "
"So, we have to cooperate. The City of Dawn and the Black Iron Fort need real cooperation."
After a big circle, Reed returned to the original issue.
But at this time the two came to talk about this topic again, and their moods had already reversed.
Originally, Collins had just tried to talk about cooperation with Reed, but at this time it has become urgent and urgent.
Don't underestimate the gap here. Although it is just a simple change of mentality, it can win greater benefits for the City of Dawn.
Reed has no idea of ​​fighting the dungeon at this stage, and he cannot conquer the world in a short time.
Because the city of Luce, the main city of halflings in the central area, possesses an extraordinary seat, the benefits of capturing Dark Iron City are far from offsetting the disadvantages of fighting against the extraordinary.
Prior to the completion of the ancient alchemy magic circle of the magic crystal mine, his strategy for the underground world was mainly based on cooperation.
War is only a means, and gaining benefits is the ultimate goal.
Scissor trade has been tested on centaurs in low hills and hills, and now one-fifth of the low hills and hills have been included in the control of the city of Dawn.
Of course, in addition to external threats, there are also internal reasons.
There are too many forces in the city of dawn now.
There are so many influences, which may be a good thing in the eyes of others.
But from the perspective of Reed, there are huge loopholes.
The various forces under his control are too scattered, which directly leads to the fact that the territory of the city of Dawn is one piece, and there is no way to link it together.
The city of dawn, the valley of the dwarves, the hills of the low mountains, the city of Aenos, the tower of the scarlet mage, the covenant of darkness, and even the 17th-level centaur Maguido Blackwind, which began to develop near the murloc tribe, has the bloodline of the gale.
These forces are scattered all around, causing the City of Dawn to spend huge energy to rule these areas.
Moreover, the environment and dangers surrounding each force are different, which adds to the difficulty of rule.
Coupled with the arrival of players, these chaotic guys have added a lot of variables to the already uncertain situation.
Although the intelligence command center temporarily linked these forces by means of intelligence networks, it did not fundamentally change the situation where each force is fighting on its own.
In this case, what he needs is not to open up new spheres of influence, but to solve the internal problems that have been exposed because of the rapid development.
Unstable foundation is a big taboo. Reed has a clear understanding of the current situation in the city of dawn. He knows when to expand and when to shrink.
"City Lord Kachar, how should Dark Iron Fort cooperate with the City of Dawn?"
When it comes to cooperation, Collins has recovered a bit of calm in his eyes.
Although the words in Reed shocked him, it was after all the information given by Reed unilaterally. Although he believed 70% in his heart, he could not believe that Reed (Reed is what it says.
Although Collins tried his best to cover up, Reed still clearly felt that the attitude of this 18th-level halfling had begun to change.
The arc of the corner of the mouth is fleeting.
Negotiation is a zero-sum game. Whoever holds the initiative can gain greater benefits.
Obviously, Collins, who had just settled down on the Diaoyutai, had already given up the initiative because of the news he confided.
In other words, he forcibly robbed the initiative.
Bad information is the most terrifying thing, the outside world is changing, and they may even face destruction in the near future, but he knows nothing.
This caused a huge shock to Collins.
If Collins was born on the earth, he would know that the online self-media has a fixed discourse system. For example, people who are better than you work harder than you, and the society is phasing out those who have just graduated and cannot keep up with the times, and their monthly salary is less than five. Don’t deserve to live, etc.
This kind of media has a unified title: selling anxiety, fictionalizing or exaggerating certain things, which makes people generate huge self-doubt, which leads to anxiety, anxiety, and even fear of inferiority.
Reed just took out the experience of being beaten up by the society and beat the halfling again.
Let him taste the terror from the media.
"City Lord Collins, make yourself stronger. I think this should be the common idea of ​​the City of Dawn and Black Iron Fort. We have always been on the same front."
Talking about the key point Reed the tone became low.
"We can communicate with each other and achieve true communication and integration. Only in this way can we both grow."
"City Lord Cachar, please elaborate." Collins was also obviously interested.
The eyes of Reed were a bit bright.
"For example, the City of Dawn has a rich magical background, which can create a variety of powerful magic scrolls, while the Black Iron Fort has powerful bow and arrow manufacturing technology, and the halfling bows and arrows are world-famous.
The City of Dawn can send mages to train halflings to train spellcasters on a large scale and systematically, while Black Iron Fort can send halflings who can make bows and arrows to develop new bows and arrows with us, and the results of cooperative research and development of weapons and equipment are shared by both parties. "
This made Collins' heart startled, his eyes widened and he stared at Reed.
"City Lord Kachar, what do you say?"
"For example, the joint research department that we set up, with the efforts of both parties, has developed a super bow and arrow that is stronger than any current bow and arrow. Then both the City of Dawn and the Black Iron Fort can have this bow and arrow production technology to achieve common powerful."
Looking at Collins who was visibly shaking, Reed had deep meaning, and he continued without giving the other person too much time to think.
"Secondly, the exchange of business and trade. The City of Dawn is on the surface and has vast resources and materials that the dungeon does not have. These resources include but are not limited to magic materials, alchemy bombs, armor forged by dwarves, and potions for training wizards.
The underground world has rich mineral resources.
We can take what we need and exchange and trade with the goods we own. "
"Third, the exchange and training of the army, the army of the city of Dawn is extremely powerful, and the ruler of several races,
Dwarves, goblins, orcs, centaurs, humans, cyclops, etc., can be transferred to many professions.
We can help each other to train part of the army and make up for the shortcomings of our own army.
For example, the Black Iron Fort can help train archers in the city of dawn, and we can help you train warriors, cavalry, and even doctors, blacksmiths, and tailors."
"fourth"
By the time Reed throws out more than ten terms of cooperation, Collins has been completely suppressed.
He never thought that the cooperation between the two forces could go to this level, to cooperate in the development of weapons and equipment, share the results, help each other to train the army, and make up for the shortcomings.
Moreover, it can also invest in infrastructure and help the other party to manufacture various basic materials for life, and various cooperation methods are simply unheard of.
Not only did these terms of cooperation surprise Collins, but the information revealed by Reed when proposing these terms of cooperation also shocked him.
He originally thought that the city of Dawn was just a simple vampire castle, but he didn't expect that the opponent would have so many races of rulers.
The simple information revealed allowed him to see the huge power behind the City of Dawn.
If Reed had proposed such in-depth cooperation at the beginning, Collins would not agree to anything. Who knows if this vampire has any other conspiracy.
But after the remarks on the fourth natural disaster just now, he was shaken.
If the outside world has really changed, and the future of the Black Iron Fort is no longer certain, what can't we cooperate with each other?
And it doesn't hurt to cooperate with Dark Iron Fort in this way. The mere fact that Reed promises to systematically train spellcasters for them made him move.
Halfling is a natural archer, best at using bows and arrows, but it doesn't mean he doesn't want to have a caster army.
Who in the glory does not want to become a master mage who can destroy a city by releasing magic at will.
It is a pity that the halfling's magic inheritance is extremely weak. Although the Black Iron Fort has a mage tower, the archmage stumbled completely on his own, made countless mistakes and reached level 18 with his super talent.
As for how to train spellcasters, he is a novice at the entry level, so although there are 18th-level archmages in Black Iron Fort, the rest of the spellcasters cannot even reach level 5.
"City Lord Kachar, I"
Looking at Collins, who was hesitant and undecided, Reed smiled slightly. He was not in a hurry to let the other party make a decision. The cooperation between the two forces was not a play.
Stand up and slowly said.
"City Lord Collins, you don't have to rush to reply, you can go back and think about it. I will stay in Dark Iron City for a few more days.
But I believe you will understand that the cooperation between the Black Iron Fort and the City of Dawn is a rare opportunity for the Black Iron Fort. If you miss it, there will be no more. "
The words of Reed are not unreasonable, this time the cooperation between the two sides seems to be equal, in fact, the city of Dawn still suffers a bit. He gave too much and asked too little.
But if the bait is not given, how can the fish bite?
Reed showed a playful smile.
There are many people in this world who can resist temptation, but Collins, the 18th-level halfling city lord in front of him, is obviously not among them.
Especially his killer magic, which helps them train spellcasters in large quantities. This condition is an irresistible temptation for any race.
Hearing Reed, Collins also obviously relaxed, and quickly got up, his tone changed again.
"City Lord Kachar, I will arrange soldiers to guard your safety these days. If you have any questions, you can call them directly.
Hope you can spend a pleasant journey in the Black Iron Fort. "
Hearing this, Reed nodded slightly and smiled brightly.
you?
Although the change of a title is simple, the representative meaning is enough to make people think deeply.
After the back of Reed disappeared in the castle manor, Collins contemplated for a long time in the empty hall, and finally hurriedly got up and headed to the Dark Iron Mage Tower, which was only a few hundred blades away from the castle manor.
ten minutes later.
On the top floor of the Black Iron Mage Tower, looking down through the glass window on the fifty-bladed tower, this majestic and magnificent city came into view, and the wide sight made Collins feel relaxed.
After a moment, he turned around and asked an old figure in the room, who was wearing an off-white mage robe, flipping through the magic book on the log-colored wooden table.
"Your Excellency Mohali can you trust this vampire? Is there really unkillable life in this world?"
Hearing the doubtful words of Collins, Mohali Greyclaw, the tower master of the Black Iron Mage Tower, the only Archmage of the Black Iron Fort, and a spellcaster with a level of 18, shook his head helplessly at this moment.
"Collins, this is the fifth time you have asked? Do you still need me to answer it?"
Collins' expression froze and smiled awkwardly.
"Your Excellency Mohali, after all, this is a decision concerning the fate of Dark Iron City. I must be cautious."
Mohali put down the yellowed sheepskin magic book in his hand, and his deep yellow eyes stared at the city lord of the Black Iron Fort in a deep tone.
"Collins, this world is huge, and it's normal to have some existences that we can't understand. It's like magic, no one can know all the magic knowledge.
As for whether to do it or not, I can only say"
Speaking of this, the tone stopped, and Collins seemed to be scratched by a cat waiting for the other party's next sentence.
But at this time, the halfling archmage reached out and took a sip from the earthen water cup on the tabletop, as if he had no intention of continuing.
"Your Excellency Mohali, I swear! If you can, I really want the gods to correct your half-talking."
Hearing this unpleasant remark, Mohali smiled after dropping 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 and arrows, so that the most powerful weapon of halflings will fall into the hands of these vampires.
The gain is"
Speaking of this, he suddenly got stuck, because Collins suddenly discovered that in addition to this loss, it seems that the other cooperations are all profiting from the Black Iron Fort.
Especially the option that the opponent will help them train spellcasters makes him feel that his bow and arrow manufacturing skills are not so precious.
"Now, I think you have the answer, Collins, that vampire is right. If he is not strong, he will inevitably be eliminated.
We have no way of knowing what happened in the outside world, but even if what this vampire said is wrong, even the fourth natural disaster does not exist.
But, so what?
Isn't it a good thing for us to make the Black Iron Fort stronger so that our Greyclaw Tribe can 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 strong as he said."
Hearing this, Collins instantly felt that his thinking became clear.
In fact, cooperation is not a problem, because the Dark Iron City gains far more than it loses in the cooperation. The key question is whether the vampire has so many resources and strengths to support this scale of cooperation.
After figuring out the key, Collins immediately decided to pay attention.
"I'll talk to that vampire again."
The 18th-level archmage Mohali took a deep look at the city lord Collins, feeling a little inexplicably.
"Collins, you are more and more like your father.
For this cooperation, you only need to remember one point. Dark Iron City is the Dark Iron City of the Greyclaw Tribe. We cannot let those vampires weaken our control over this city in the name of cooperation~EbookFREE.me~The rest , Can talk.
It is best to conduct 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 a little shabby and went to the place where Collins had just stood, his deep yellow eyes looked out the window scorchingly.
Those eagle-like eyes seemed to pass through the towering city walls at this moment, through the eternal silence and gloom, and saw the end of the world.
The sky of the underground world is always the same, dim and gray.
"Why do I always feel a sense of urgency in my heart? Is it like 20 years ago, has a catastrophe happened? My intuition has worked countless times, I hope this time it fails once."
"Under the crown of the great halfling Kapolotz, I hope you can give me guidance again, and your faithful believer Mohali prays to you"
