Especially the guy behind her. After he found out that she had discovered him, he stopped acting and started licking the dagger!
Telesta's eyes twitched again as she looked at the lines on the dagger that Grayson was licking with his tongue, as well as the unique color of the material.
Break the magic pattern!
Demon-breaking steel for arcane energy!
Didn’t I just see some technology that the dwarves already had?!
Are you serious?!
Simply baffling!
But the situation was stronger than the situation, so she still had the courage to speak.
"They will arrive before I leave. But Li Ke, no matter how much discount I give you, the salary of the teachers who come to teach is absolutely unavoidable. You should know this. I am serious,
You can see that, right? After all, what I promised can be fulfilled, not a blank check... I shouldn’t need to go to Zul’Gurub anymore, right?”
Li Ke's murderous intention completely disappeared in an instant, and Teresita also breathed a sigh of relief, because not only did the murderous intention coming from Li Ke disappear, but the housekeeper behind her also dispersed the counter-spell.
formation, and put away his dagger.
Li Ke is his favorite apprentice!
"Oh! Of course I know, Theresa, this is inevitable. You are worthy of being my best friend forever! But..."
Li Ke's words just made Teresita's heart jump again, because the housekeeper behind her who put great pressure on her began to use counter spells again!
"But what?"
Telesta asked carefully.
"But since you say that my technology is outdated technology of dwarves, then... what advantage does your elves' technology have compared to that of dwarves?"
Li Ke looked at Teresita with a smile, and in his mind, he was also communicating with Grayson.
"So, our lathes and things like that do have precedents?"
"Yes, Mr. Li Ke, those little guys are indeed wonderful, but they have eliminated these things long ago, because the things made by these things have no 'soul' and their performance is not high."
Grayson's words made Li Ke stunned for a moment. He often heard on Earth that things made by machines have no soul, but things made by humans have souls.
As a result, similar words can still be heard here.
But thinking about the mechanical chicken that those people made, although Li Ke was very unhappy, he still recognized it.
There is no way, in this world, doing handicrafts wholeheartedly will indeed produce souls...
But Grayson's words made Li Ke suddenly understand.
"But I'm also very curious. Although this technology will not produce mental energy and soul on the machine, it can undoubtedly greatly reduce their burden. Those wonderful little guys are just abandoned.
Using a similar process on screws and a few other things, not even using magic... it honestly baffles me. After all, if they did that, their numbers wouldn't be so small."
few……
I see.
When handmade products are enough to meet everyone's needs, or everyone is a craftsman, although a certain degree of standardization and standardization will appear, high-end customized products will be sought after...
The most critical thing is that the population of dwarfs is not enough to develop industrialization.
Industrialization requires population and financial resources to support it.
And not everyone can understand like him that industrialization is an unstoppable wave.
The key is……
I'm afraid dwarfs can't be self-sufficient in food, right?
Moreover, the terrain is extremely awkward. Once attacked, they will be besieged. Although they will not all starve to death or be directly attacked the main city, most of the dwarfs will definitely not survive.
It cannot stimulate domestic demand, cannot turn productivity into money, and has no ability to protect its own wealth. No wonder the wave of industrialization has not appeared in dwarf cities in this era...
Li Ke roughly understood why the dwarfs 'eliminate' those lathes.
This is the sad thing about a small country and a small person. Even if it has advanced technology, it still cannot transform it into combat effectiveness. If it is extremely high, there may be a chance, but if it is only for one or two generations, then even if it is
You may gain the upper hand in the beginning, but you may end up disastrous in the end.
If the gnomes want to force industrialization like him, they will inevitably invade places such as Stormwind City. Then once they stop or confront Lordaeron, they will immediately fall into the ocean of people's war, and finally return to their own city in despair.
, he may not even have his own sovereignty.
But why do I feel this script is so familiar...
Li Ke touched his chin and felt that the script was very familiar. It seemed that a certain country had once performed it in his history book.
It goes without saying that he was thinking wildly, but Teresita on the side laughed.
"Because we can teach technology. Arcane magic depends on people's understanding. As long as the basics are taught, then even if we and Dalaran monopolize some technologies for you, you can develop them on your own. What's more, since you
If you are willing to give us a piece of land to build an elven city, it means that you are standing with us. If we can support one Dalaran, we will naturally be able to support the second one. You know, Kael'thas is very important to those humans.
It's too nice, so some tough voices have to be heard."
oh……
I see.
Li Ke nodded.
You said that in the end, you want to open a separate mine and serve politics by the way.
Li Ke kept nodding. The elves were indeed cunning and cunning. At least these elderly elves knew very well about playing dirty tricks to open up mines.
It was obvious that the elves were very concerned about the fact that Kael'thas's status in Dalaran was not very high, so they planned to start a new attempt to intimidate him. They didn't even need to invest too much, as long as they invested a little, then the mages of Dalaran would be able to do it.
You must be anxious.
Now that the tiger skin of the elves has not been peeled off, the elves are still synonymous with mysterious power and powerful magic.
It's not even the time when the thousand-year-old great mage shouted to Jaina that she was invincible.
"I see."
Li Ke nodded, but he still had a question, one that had always existed and never disappeared since Teresita went to bed with him and revealed to him the idea of the elf wanting to open a branch mine here.
Confuse.
"But I'm still curious, Theresa, you have to tell me something."
"Please tell me."
"What makes you think that I will not fall to Tenaris or to Lordaeron?"
He was really curious about this matter.
"Would any king like his queen having an affair with a noble knight?"
Telesta gave him an ambiguous look and glanced at the letter that Jaina sent to Li Ke.
Li Ke: “…………”
So why do you think Jaina and I are having an affair?
Li Ke really wanted to ask.
But in fact, Teresa didn't tell the truth.
What really made her and Kael'thas make this judgment.
It's the 'arrogance' and 'frivolity' that Li Ke can't help but show.
There is also his unique trading philosophy of subconsciously believing that both parties must have long-term benefits before they can trade.
