As soon as Lei Xiao said these words, the whole place was silent again.
But this time it's not because of surprise, but because the word "red dragon" is simply taboo in the dwarf kingdom. Even in the King's Hall, which represents the core of dwarf power, the dwarf ministers will never mention it casually.
this matter.
After all, in the battle that year, the dwarfs suffered heavy losses that had never been seen since the blank era.
Not only did they lose their troops, but they were also deterred by the opponent's dragon's breath and claws, and were reduced to such a dark and dark situation today. Even with the blessing of illusion, it was just to comfort themselves.
Thinking of the scorching flames that stretched across the sky, like a stormy wave, sloping down from the sky, burning everything into nothingness, several dwarf ministers who had witnessed it, including the minister of magic and engineering who just spoke, couldn't help but express their feelings.
He shivered, his hands and feet suddenly felt cold, and he obviously remembered the fear of being dominated by the red dragon.
Noticing that the atmosphere had changed again, Lei Xiao looked as expected.
Since we plan to form an alliance with the dwarves, the dragon clan is naturally a topic that cannot be avoided.
Therefore, instead of being timid, it is better to throw this matter out openly to show the determination of the human race to fight against the dragon race.
"Your Majesty the Human Race, thank you for bringing the news about Prince Pioneer. This is enough to be praised by all dwarves, but it does not mean that you can do whatever you want in my palace."
Although Broy's expression was still calm, his tone clearly showed some anger, and he responded: "I don't know what kind of hatred the humans have with those red dragons, but if you want to drag the dwarves with you,
"I don't think that the alliance between the dwarf elves and the humans will pose any threat to the group of red dragons, or make any changes to the current situation."
After Broy said this, the other dwarf ministers also nodded in agreement.
"It is true that the human race today is indeed weak, but even so, we still have the courage to face the red dragon."
Lei Xiao looked directly into Broy's eyes and said word by word: "Have you, all of you who claim to be standing above the human race, already lost the courage you once had?"
"I was worried about this before, and I had a sincere communication with His Highness Vader, but he said that the dwarves could even survive the blank era that destroyed everything, so how could they lose their courage in front of the dragon's breath?"
Lei Xiao's voice resounded through the magnificent hall, echoing in everyone's ears.
"He believes that he will never do it, and neither will his descendants. It is precisely because of the unparalleled courage of the dwarves that they can occupy a place in the Outer Land, a land where the strong are respected."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, both Broy on the throne and the dwarf ministers headed by Cornette couldn't help but feel moved.
Just like what Lei Xiao said, the reason why the weak elves have been able to get to where they are today is that while technological power and creativity are advancing at the same time, it is the indomitable spirit that drives all of this.
Even when they faced the red dragons for the first time, although the dwarfs knew that their future was uncertain, they still chose to hold on to their swords and face the powerful opponents without flinching.
After the final defeat, the dwarfs seemed to have lost not only Wumeng City and other cities on the ground, but also their former courage.
"Your Majesty the human race, the dwarves have never lost their courage, and they have never put down the sharp blade in their hands. They only learned to judge the situation through failure."
Broy's tone slowed down a little, and he nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "After that battle, we have been studying the means to fight the red dragon day and night, but it's just not the time for a showdown yet."
At this point, Broy said solemnly: "The dwarves believe that it is not the best time to confront the red dragons yet."
"I understand His Majesty the Elf's caution."
Lei Xiao paced slowly in the hall and responded: "But there are a few questions I would like to ask Your Majesty the dwarf. How much time do you think the dwarf has left to prepare? To take a step back, even if the dwarf survives
After the Red Dragon Crisis, what’s the next more terrifying challenge?”
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
Broy carefully tasted the meaning of Lei Xiao's words, and then said solemnly: "Could it be that the more terrifying challenge you mentioned refers to the catastrophe?"
As Broy's words fell, the atmosphere in the entire hall became solemn.
Cataclysm, a word full of ominous words, has been widely circulated in the outside world thousands of years ago, and it is also something that most forces acquiesce in.
Because since the Era of Blanks, there has never been anything that has allowed fortune tellers from all races to draw the same conclusion so uniformly.
Starting from Broy's father's generation, preparations for the Cataclysm have risen to the kingdom level and have become one of the important development directions of the dwarves.
Unfortunately, before long preparations had taken, the group of red dragons suddenly appeared, and everyone knew what happened next.
Because of this, the elves had no choice but to put their preparations for the cataclysm on hold. In the face of the close opponents, the immediate safety was more important. After all, the prophecy did not give a specific time, which left everyone
There is still a trace of luck.
But it is undeniable that the word "cataclysm" is like a giant mountain that has been weighing on the minds of Broy, Cornet, and other dwarf ministers.
"That's right, it's the Cataclysm."
Lei Xiao affirmed the other party's words and stagnated in his steps: "Fighting the red dragon is only the first step in forming an alliance. I believe that only by gathering more power can we survive the unknown disaster sweeping the world.
."
As soon as Lei Xiao said these words, it immediately caused a wave of ripples in the dwarf hall.
There is strength in numbers, this is a truth that everyone knows.
But this undoubtedly means that both parties to the alliance need to share resources to a considerable extent, and the stronger party must allocate considerable resources to the weaker party.
This has created an extremely embarrassing situation. The peak forces that stand in the first echelon of strength and control the most resources are naturally unwilling to share their resources with the forces in the second echelon. Rather than finding a drag to form an alliance, it is better to be alone.
a little better.
The same goes for forces like the dwarves who are on the edge of the Outer Realm. Although they cannot rely on big trees to enjoy the shade, they will not drag themselves down with forces like the Human Race that have not even left the Outer Realm.
"Your Majesty the Human Race, I understand your goal of leading the Human Race to develop and grow, and I admire you."
Cornette nodded to Lei Xiao and said solemnly: "But unfortunately, just like what my king said, from our point of view, even if we form an alliance with the human race, we will only pay for the dwarfs."
That’s all, we don’t think we can get equal returns from the human race, so we ask for your understanding from the human race.”
??????55.??????
"Yes, as a king, I fully understand your intention to develop and expand the human world, but I also have to think about my people. My kingdom is already in a period of recovery, and my people are exhausted.
It’s really difficult to spare our efforts to help the human race.”
Broy took over the conversation and said sincerely to Lei Xiao: "So, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. At least it is not the time to form an alliance yet."
After hearing what the other party said, our personnel frowned even more.
Although the other party showed considerable respect under the lord's foresight, he still declined in the end.
"I deeply agree with the words of His Majesty the Elf. This is naturally based on mutual benefit and win-win results for both parties. But how does Your Majesty know that today's human race does not have the technology that can be used?"
Lei Xiao looked directly into Broy's eyes, smiled mysteriously and said, "The human race is far from being as weak as His Majesty thought."
"Oh? Dear human majesty, words are not just spoken by mouth."
The Minister of Magical Engineering just now couldn't help but stand up, stood on tiptoes, and said with his gray eyebrows: "I am quite curious, in addition to the number and reproduction speed, in which field can the human race surpass us?"
As soon as the Minister of Magical Engineering finished speaking, the other dwarf ministers also looked over one after another. Their eyes were either mixed with questions, or mixed with confusion, or even a little questioning. One of them wanted to look at Lei Xiao.
It looks like what can be produced.
"Your Majesty the Human Race, we can discuss the matter of alliance in the long term. I think it is better not to show off at this time."
Cornette obviously still has quite a lot of goodwill towards Lei Xiao, and couldn't help but whisper: "If the situation is too tense now, I'm afraid there will be no room for maneuver in the future."
"Thank you, His Highness Prince Huanyao, for the reminder."
Under the gaze of one pair of eyes after another, Lei Xiao smiled slightly at Cornet, and then changed the subject: "Your Highness, I have a question to ask Your Highness. If Your Highness thinks this is an opportunity from the Dwarf Kingdom,
If you have any questions, you can choose not to answer."
"Your Majesty, the human race, just said it doesn't matter."
Cornet's eyes were full of questions and he said curiously.
"Your Highness, may I ask what the level 5 equipment output of the Dwarf Kingdom is like?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile.
"Level 5 equipment output?"
Hearing the sound, Cornette looked at Broy first. After getting the latter's approval, he continued the topic and responded: "His Majesty the Human Race must also understand. Compared with other external forces,
It is said that the elves' own strength is relatively limited, and their focus is on the magic technology and the alchemy puppet craft of the elves' own lineage."
"In this way, coupled with the limited production of high-grade ores in this corner of the country, and the fact that it has not participated in the cinephile market for hundreds of years, the current output is relatively limited."
Cornette's answer was quite general, and he added: "Of course, this is not because the dwarf kingdom lacks corresponding talents, it is just because of the scarcity of materials."
"Thank you for your answer, Your Highness. What about the sixth-level equipment?"
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and asked again.
"His Majesty the Human Race is joking. The forging technology of sixth-level equipment is almost only in the hands of the dwarves, elves and other peak powers of all races. How can it be something that can be obtained casually."
Cornette smiled awkwardly and said bluntly: "Even the magic craftsmanship for making fifth-level robes and fifth-level staffs is only controlled by a few forces such as the elves, which shows."
"Understood, let's take the fifth-level robe as an example."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile: "Guess how many fifth-level robes there are in the human world?"
After saying that, Lei Xiao looked at the group of strong men from our side who were following him.
Due to Lei Xiao's order to keep a low profile, our strong men all hid their extraordinary splendor. In addition, they were wearing hoods, so it was obviously impossible to tell their specific class.
"What's there to guess?"
The Minister of Magical Engineering gently stroked his gray beard and showed off his colorful fifth-level robes. He said disdainfully: "I don't think there will be more than ten pieces, and because of the neglect of maintenance, the quality must be guaranteed."
Extremely bad.”
After the words of the Minister of Magical Engineering fell, a dozen other dwarf ministers wearing various fifth-level robes also stood up and agreed.
"That's right, that's right, this is a rare item that even we dwarfs can't easily obtain."
"That's right, our Royal Guards Magic Legion only has a few dozen pieces, let alone the human race."
"Hey, why would your wise human majesty ask this question to bring trouble? It's simply unclear."
After hearing the echoing words of other ministers, the Minister of Magical Engineering became even more arrogant, looking confident.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency, Minister. You got the wrong answer. If you had put it before, this answer would have been very close. But as I said just now, the human race today is no longer the same as before."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly at the old dwarf elf, then changed the topic and said: "In today's human world, the fifth-level robe is not a rare item."
After that, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and 500 fifth-level robes exuding rich splendor appeared together with the matching equipment racks, making the already magnificent hall suddenly splendid.
"This?! How is this possible?!"
Looking at this sudden and extraordinary scene, the whole hall was in an uproar.
In particular, the eyes of the dwarf ministers wearing fifth-level robes, headed by the Minister of Magic Engineering, almost popped out of their eyes.
The fifth-level robes displayed by Lei Xiao are all in brand new condition, and are of excellent quality, and their splendor is even richer than what they wear.
For a moment, they who were showing off and showing disdain just now were eclipsed and became only dispensable foils.
Seeing this, even Cornet and Broy opened their eyes wide and swallowed involuntarily.
The robes displayed by Lei Xiao seemed to exceed the total number of the entire dwarf kingdom.
You must know that the fifth-level robes they possess are the result of three thousand years of accumulation since the blank era.
"Do you still think that the human race cannot surpass the dwarves?"
The smile on Lei Xiao's face became stronger and stronger. Although his voice was gentle, it trembled in the ears of every dwarf.
