For more than five years, this valley has become a nightmare for werewolves. Because of the existence of this valley, the number of werewolves in the forest has dropped sharply. Half of them were captured and used as slaves for mining, and the other half left their hometowns because of fear.
Now, it is difficult for the Highlanders to catch werewolves within a radius of 500 miles. In order to maintain the operation of the mine, they have to slightly improve the treatment of werewolves to reduce the wastage rate of werewolves. At the same time, the wolf hunting team is moving farther away
Place to capture werewolves.
Through various measures, the mine's ore production has been reduced, but it can continue to operate.
The dwarf Nomos came again, and it was still Sun Ran who was receiving him.
The two were discussing business in a newly built wooden villa, just like every time before, and they also talked about other things.
"Thal, tell me, how many warriors are there in the Highlanders?" Nomos shook the small white porcelain cup in his hand and asked with a seemingly casual smile.
"A secret." Sun Ran smiled: "Of course, if you are willing to teach us how to configure fire, I will have no secrets from you."
"Hehehe" Nomos laughed, and then looked at Sun Ran: "Saar, you haven't changed at all, you are still so ambitious. You have become the master of this forest, and the highlanders also rule this forest.
, I heard that many humans and elves have intermarried. At this point, aren't you satisfied?"
When Nomos chatted with Sun Ran, he no longer had the pride and confidence he had in the past, but he became more tentative and cautious.
This transformation happened quietly as Sun Ran's power continued to grow.
By now, Sun Ran is already a powerful warrior at the peak of level 4, while Nomos is still a level 5 warrior. Although his magic power is still one level higher than that of Sun Ran. But facing this powerful and scheming king of the human race,
He has no chance of victory.
Sun Ran smiled faintly, drank down the highland spirit in the glass, stood up, walked to the window, looked out at the busy mine, and said in a deep voice: "Nomos. I have always been sober. Highlander
The prosperity of creation is water without a source and a big tree without roots. One day, for some reason, you will stop trading with me and stop giving me fire. The highlanders will become weak again."
They have been dealing with each other for so many years, and the thoughts of both parties are clear, and there is nothing to hide. So Sun Ran said it very straightforwardly.
Nomos promised: "Don't worry, I will not suspend the transaction. You may not know that we dwarves have also encountered enemies underground - dark elves. In the past few years, we have been fighting them and have suffered great losses. Many mines
They have all been destroyed. This Falling Star Mine is also very important to us!"
In order to reassure Sun Ran, Nomos did not hesitate to expose his shortcomings.
Sun Ran was not surprised by this. The dwarfs were once protected by the Aesir god system, and the dark elves were Hades' generals. The Asaph god system collapsed. How could the dwarf avoid the world?
Seeing that Sun Ran still didn't speak, Nomos continued: "I can't give you the configuration method of Fire. Because I gave it to you. After you configure it successfully, if you insist on stopping trading with us, we have no way to stop it.
This will undoubtedly make things worse for our dwarfs’ already very bad combat situation.”
After he finished speaking, he saw a smile on Sun Ran's face, and then saw him say: "Nomos, you haven't seen the situation clearly yet."
"Oh, tell me?"
"You don't have to give me how to configure the fire, but sooner or later we will get it from the elves. Although the elves are still on guard, you know, those female elves are particularly susceptible to their love for their husbands and their children.
The mother's love goes to her head. Every mother wants her children to live a beautiful and happy life. Therefore, it is only a matter of time to get the fire preparation method from their mouths. If you give it to me earlier now, you will get us
Highlander friendship.”
"..." Nomos was stunned. He really didn't expect this level. He was silent for a long time, and finally struggled: "Aren't you afraid that Sivana will come back? As far as I know, Sivana is on the northern battlefield.
She is so popular that she has been promoted to a fifth-level astromancer at a young age. When she comes back and finds that her territory has become what it is now, what will she do to you?"
"Sivana?" Sun Ran flipped his hand, took off the rapid-fire steel crossbow on his back, gently threw it to the dwarf, and said with a smile: "You are an engineering expert, take a look at this, you should know the power of this thing
.”
The dwarf looked around at the steel crossbow in his hand, and his face became more and more serious: "Quick-fire crossbow? Fine gold anti-magic arrows? I didn't expect your blacksmith to create such a thing."
Gnomes also have this thing, and it is more sophisticated than this, but limited to the power of dwarfs, it is not as powerful as the rapid-fire steel crossbow in front of them.
"Every one of my warriors is equipped with this weapon. When Sivana comes back, even if she becomes an astromancer, I will try my best to destroy five hundred warriors and shoot intensively. Do you think she can survive?"
In the world of gods, no matter how powerful the master is, even a god, if he chooses to fight to the death against a large army, he will be surrounded and suppressed to death!
"If you kill the Astromancer, Labusilin will definitely make you pay a heavy price. Moreover, it's not like the elves don't have this thing." The dwarf threw the rapid-fire crossbow back to Sun Ran: "Thal, don't be too confident.
Now, any elf demigod master who comes over can easily kill you."
Sun Ran didn't mind this, because he knew that the dwarf had been persuaded by him.
Sure enough, in the next sentence, Nomos sighed: "But you are right. With your wisdom, you will get the fire configuration method sooner or later. Let's do this. In five days, I will bring my alchemist over. You choose
Some smart people, follow them and learn how to configure fire."
Rather than letting this guy plot around, it's better to give it to him directly, and maybe he can actually gain some friendship.
Sun Ran smiled: "Nomos, you have gained the friendship of the highlanders."
"You greedy guy!" Nomos snorted dissatisfied, and then told a message: "The Gray Pine Forest has been occupied by the black giant. The elves were defeated, suffered heavy casualties, and retreated to the Dawn Fortress, temporarily stalemate.
Not long after, maybe a year, maybe two years, Sivana may come back. You have to be prepared to deal with her."
When he saw Sun Ran picking up the rapid-fire crossbow, he advised: "It's best not to use that thing. Although the elf is seriously injured, it is still a behemoth and can wipe out your highlanders at any time. Think of other ways, maybe,
Might the elves need allies?"
Sun Ran's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder."
If they want to become allies with the proud elves, the highlanders must obtain stronger power. This is not enough now. They must develop!
After the matter was settled, Nomos returned with the ores, especially the krypton gold particles, and also left a large amount of fire.
He is a businessman who values his credibility, and five days later, he brought back three arrogant dwarf alchemists who disliked everything.
The alchemists came to Highland Village. When they saw the hundreds of young apprentices prepared by Sun Ran, they made critical comments.
"I bet these highlanders can't learn how to refine fire."
"No need to bet, it's a fact! Look at this place, it's horribly backward. Oh, this white stone cup may be the only bright spot here." The dwarf looked at the delicate white porcelain cup in his hand.
"Just make these beautiful cups. Maybe these people are worth teaching."
After some nitpicking, the three alchemists stopped procrastinating and began to instruct the apprentices to build the alchemy room as agreed.
Sun Ran watched quietly from a distance and said to Nomos: "Thank you again, Nomos."
He took out a fist-sized stone that shone with blue air ripples from his arms, and handed it over: "What I found in the forest is an extraterrestrial meteorite. The elves call this Titan Iron. Now, it belongs to you.
.”
Over the years, Sun Ran has collected some treasures. This meteorite is a special game prop dropped from the sky by a game company.
When Nomos saw this thing, his eyes immediately widened: "It is indeed Titan Iron. This is a priceless treasure. Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
Sun Ran handed it over: "For the friendship between the highlanders and the dwarfs."
Nomos was immediately moved, stretched out his hands, took the Titan Divine Iron with great care, and then promised Sun Ran: "Just for this piece of Divine Iron, I will bring you twenty bottles... No, no, no.
, it’s thirty bottles of pure magic potion. Don’t refuse, this is the friendship of the dwarf!”
This thing may be just a beautiful stone to humans, but to dwarves, this piece of Titan iron can be used to forge an indestructible artifact!
It's so precious, it's so precious.
After he finished speaking, he began to carefully appreciate this strange ore, and murmured: "Oh~~~baby, my baby, ss~~~it's really a treasure."
Sun Ran knew that he had sent the right thing, and there was no question of whether it was worth it. Just like more than five hundred years ago, when the Earth Federation was not established, people in the Middle East sold oil. Everyone knew that oil was a treasure, but people in the Middle East didn't.
They can only use it by selling it for money they can use.
………..
Time flies, and another year has passed. The first stable bottle of fire was produced in the alchemy room of the human race. The person who refined it was a young man named Moses, a very smart man, and a big VIP... He was also the first person to appear in the human race.
A big VIP level player.
Even the dwarf alchemist praised Moses as a "wise man born for alchemy."
Sun Ran had known this for a long time, but it didn't matter to him, because he had always been the irreplaceable leader of the highlanders, and even the VIPs were still his subordinates.
As long as he lives, he will be the king of the highlanders. Sun Ran is absolutely confident in this!
Two years later, the number of Highlanders exceeded half a million. Almost the entire human race in the forest had joined the Highlanders, and more and more humans were coming from other regions.
At this time, the Highlanders had fully acquired fire technology and had some new developments.
This caused an explosive increase in the number of magic warriors in the human race. Sun Ran promptly established a magic activation and training system starting from a young age in order to maximize the effectiveness of the fire.
Until then, the highlanders became the real masters of this forest!
The transaction at Luoxing Mine was still going on. Nomos arrived half a month early and brought Sun Ran new news.
"Astromancer Sivana has returned with her elven soldiers."
PS: Today is the third update. Due to an unexpected situation, I broke my promise and will make up for the fifth update tomorrow!
