Chapter 137: Unavoidable FLAG

Tang En spoke after thinking about what to say for a long time.
"Actually, the so-called black swamp is a complex substance called asphalt."
"Okay, I get it now!"
Brian suddenly realized: "Big brother, you are an alchemist, so you want to refine something in it? Is it precious?"
"Don't understand don't interrupt!"
Brian muttered, "I didn't interrupt ..."
Is this guy intentional?
Tang En's brain was blue and straight, and he finally calmed down: "Although the black swamp looks dangerous, the asphalt that forms the black swamp is actually very useful in some ways-"
Brian exclaimed, "Oh! I see!"
What do you know! ?
"Big brother, do you want to use that ... uh, bitumen on the battlefield! Well, bitumen, its smell should be poisonous, it should be quite useful, big brother, you are really a genius!"
"shut up!"
Tang En, Durandon, and Eberron couldn't bear it. They all screamed, and Brian shrank his neck, and he was awkward ...
Durandon signaled: "Ignore him and you continue."
Tang En nodded: "Although the asphalt does not look good, it will become molten after it is burned in a large pot. After mixing with some stones and slag, it can be used for paving."
"paving?"
Durandon and Ebron looked at each other, didn't they all use gravel or slabs?
In fact, it ’s not just the dwarves here. All the nations in Prandall have paved roads like this. Ordinary stones are used, and slate is used where there is money. Those areas that are relatively barren will simply not be paved. Once it rains, The whole town is muddy road ...
"Yes, such things as asphalt are resistant to high temperature, abrasion, and difficult to deform, and they are very flat after pressing, making them good paving materials."
Down said, "Frankly, I saw the black swamp ... No, I thought of paving the way when there was such a large asphalt lake."
"So it is."
Durandon waved his hand: "Black Marsh is yours."
"I ... what?"
Tang En was stunned.
"I said, it's yours, and how you want to develop it is up to you."
Durandon said indifferently: "Anyway, we don't know what that thing is useful for, and it's still annoying and occupying space. If you can dig it out better, we have more land to use."
"This……"
Tang En was embarrassed. Duranton was so generous, but disrupted Tang En's plan. He originally thought that it would be easier to cooperate with the dwarves to develop, but he actually gave him the Black Marsh directly ...
"what happened?"
"Actually, Her Majesty Durandon, I want to work with you to develop the Black Marsh. The benefits can be shared. I provide the technology and you provide the manpower. As a human being, even if we can recruit employees, I am afraid that a large number of humans will enter the dwarf country. Right? So it's most appropriate for you to provide dwarf labor. "
Tang En told Durandon all his thoughts in a sigh of breath. After a moment of groaning, Durandon said, "If you want to develop that place, I can still give it to you, but if that is the case, I am afraid I ca n’t promise you right away. I need to discuss it with the King ’s Council. After all, this is related to the labor of the dwarves.

Tang En laughed: "If they feel distressed, they can change to another cooperation method. I hire the dwarves of the dwarf country to work at their doorstep and pay them salaries. They mine the black swamp for me and transport it to Ellington. How about? "
Durandon clapped his hands: "Simple and simple, I think so, let ’s do it. I leave the mining right to you, and I do n’t care what the income is. You can pay the dwarf employees directly. We are here to let They cleaned the black swamp! "
"I also think it's simpler and simpler ..."
Tang En couldn't laugh or cry. Obviously, the benefit of cooperation was greater. However, Durandon and Eberron both preferred the way of employment. Obviously, the black swamp is the property in their dwarf country ...
"That being the case, there is another thing I just want to tell you."
After Tang En entered the Forge Hammer Fortress, he had this idea, and laughed: "Your people of the earth dig every day. I wonder if you have any copper mine here?"
"Copper ore? Yes, quite a lot, you need?"
Durandon scratched his head: "In the past, there were quite a lot of copper mines. After the large-scale use of iron ore and magic metals, copper mines have been of little use. Basically, they will only be used to create some living appliances. Consumption It's small, and most of it is stacked there. "
Tang En was overjoyed: "This is just right. My territory, Ellington, is currently under construction. It is estimated that a large amount of metal copper is needed, so I want to trade metal copper with the dwarf country. If possible, it is best to develop trade routes. We also It can provide a variety of life items to Forge Hammer Fort and the dwarf villages along the way. "
"Well ..."
Durandon was a little hesitant to trade with humans? The last time there was cooperation was during the chaotic invasion war. Since the end of the war, the dwarven kingdom has never had a large-scale commercial relationship with the outside world, so he is worried about whether it will cause any bad effects.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I see. I'll discuss this matter with the King's Parliament later and give you a reply after the wine festival. What do you think?"
"of course can."
Tang En promised very easily, if this trip can achieve three goals, of course, it is best.
Even if he couldn't reach the metal copper transaction, he could still trade with the nobles who had copper mines inside the Illus Empire, but obviously they were not comfortable with the straight dwarves.
But looking at the current situation, at least recruiting dwarf employees and the development of asphalt lake should not be a problem.
After talking about these two things, Durandon looked at Brian, who was aggrieved again, and snorted, "This time, for Mr. Tang's sake, I'll spare you, if you dare to give us The people of the earth are ashamed, and you are waiting to be imprisoned! "
Faced with such a strong and talented son, Brian is irrational, but can't beat, but what else can he say? Can only helplessly confessed.
This makes Eberon great.
At least, in the Forgehammer family, it was Durandon who said it, not the under-flat Brian who wanted to bring his daughter to marry, and he would not suffer any more.
Several people went back to the outside just like everyone else and started to celebrate. Brian's grievances were deliberately made to look at his wife Selma and the future daughter-in-law Tess. Unfortunately, they were useless, early I knew what he was, Selma ignored him at all, and Tess now only had Durandon in her eyes. Where did he care about Brian?
So Brian had to hide and drink.
The dinner did not last long, because tomorrow is the wine festival, and that is the event that really deserves to be celebrated, so everyone feels like they will leave, and Tang En will be arranged to rest at the hammer home.
"call……"
After returning to the room, Tang En closed the door, and a teleportation returned to Lord Ellington's House.
Because of his thriller experience in Furnace Village, he didn't dare to sleep there anymore. When Wan Yitong found out that there was another dwarf woman on the bed, he would be really scared to death.
"These guys can really drink ..."
Tang En rubbed his temples with a tangled look. Although they were drinking ale, they would get drunk too much, especially Tang En's alcohol level was actually average.
After glancing at the sky, Tang En estimated that Fiona might not be asleep, so she went to the study to find her. As a result, Fiona was not in the study, and after releasing a magic induction, Tang En found that she had returned to the bedroom, but Did not sleep.
Tang En came to the outside of Fiona's bedroom and just wanted to push in the door, but the ghost stopped the step and knocked on the door.
"Tina? You're here. Didn't I tell you to come in directly, and what else did you knock on?"
Fiona opened the door of the room, and walked in without a glance.
Tang En was embarrassed when he saw Fiona. He didn't expect him to be so careful, but still encountered an embarrassing scene.
Fiona was wearing a very simple one-piece nightdress at the moment. Because it is summer, the style of the nightdress is very ... saving cloth, which led to what Tang En should see or not see. The two big white legs were dazzling under the illumination of the magic crystal lamp, which made Tang En, who was used to dwarf women these days, very uneasy.
"Tina?"
Fiona waited for a while but didn't hear Tina's voice. She turned her head and found no one at the door.
"Strange……"
Tang En, who was hiding outside, showed a cold sweat. Fortunately, he responded fast enough. At this moment, he had a clever move and deliberately walked from a distance. He shouted, "Fiona? Did you sleep?
"Master Lord? I haven't-wait! Don't come in!"
Fiona exclaimed, rushed over and shut them.
"Fiona?"
Tang En deliberately asked, "What are you doing? I have good news for you!"
"You wait a minute!"
Fiona hurriedly put on a piece of clothing to cover the exposed skin, so she opened the door and let Tang En come in. If you look closely, you will find that her face is flushed with her head down, and her nose is swollen. Sweat.
"Do you have to say anything at this time?"
Fiona closed the door, pulled her clothes subconsciously, and deliberately dissatisfied Tang En: "Can you say no more tomorrow?"
"I will go back tomorrow, the wine festival will be held tomorrow, and Durandon, the dwarven king, will ... tomorrow, guess what's the relationship between Durandon, the dwarven king and Brian?
Fiona stunned: "They have a relationship? Wait, let me guess ... Is Brian a dwarven prince?"
Fiona's face was incredible: "Aren't we so lucky?"
"Sorry, you're wrong."
Tang En shook the corners of his mouth and showed a weird smile: "Durandon, the dwarf king ... was Brian's son, and Brian ... was the last dwarven king."
Unexpectedly, Fiona was stupid there, and then suddenly exclaimed: "He? Brian? Former King? Son! How is this possible !?"
