As soon as he heard that he wanted to communicate with Snorri, only Anle was in his heart. He pretended to go back to his room to rest, but secretly took out the earthly barrier and slipped back. This thing that was originally used to save his life when he was defeated was used by him to eavesdrop and
Sneak attacks are just the thing.
This war gear looks like a useless piece in my hands, but it is still quite useful in a city like Haimen Pass.
Not to mention anything else, the armored ship made extensive use of gear transmission systems. On the way here, Snorri quietly tested it, and once its magical power was activated, the warship felt like it was on stimulants.
It also represents the direct inheritance of the God of Engineers, Mogrim. In the dwarf states, the engineers of Torrent Pass and Haimen Pass are the most powerful. In order not to live under Torrent Pass, the engineers of Haimen Pass independently formed the "Ocean"
Engineers Guild".
Considering that shipping already relies on the sea gate, and considering the good relationship between themselves and President Bullock and his son, the ordnance purchase order of the Southland and the famous railway in the old world were all landed at a rapid juncture, which undoubtedly made their reputation
And its strength has surpassed Haimen Pass in the past ten years.
It is true that the huge demand in the Southland has made Haimenguan infinitely prosperous commercially, but as an ambitious large-scale city, the leaders here know that shipping trade is not the foundation for their livelihood.
Under this consideration, the railway to the Eternal Peak was started. In addition to the practical effect, it also aims to tell the entire old world that what I can do at Torrent Pass, Haimen Pass can also do!
Compared to the five dreadnoughts that can still be rebuilt, this artifact gear with great practical value and greater symbolic significance is undoubtedly more attractive.
Relying on eavesdropping, Snorri learned about the concerns of the leaders of Haimen Pass - that is, the value of the fortress. Although he is the vice president, Snorri is an outlier among the rune blacksmiths. He is willing to embrace technology, and he also has Brock by his side.
Sen is such an outstanding engineering master.
If Snorri is allowed to obtain a dreadnought, it won't take long for his engineers to master the core technology. By then, a few more ships will be built, and achieving self-sufficiency in shipping will not be a dream. In that case, Haimen Pass will lose more than the gain.
"We really want to find the relics of the gods, but the teachings of our ancestors are equally important. Maybe you can change the conditions? Barak-Var has been passed down from the ancestors to this day..."
Lord Panos's words were already clear to Snorri, and he stretched out his hand to signal Lao Wang not to worry.
"I think you are worried that I will no longer need Haimenguan's fleet after I have the dreadnought?"
The King of the Southland smiled. He had no intention of grabbing Haimen Pass's shipping business. This fortress was in a unique location and had always had a close relationship with the Supreme Court. Kicking them away to build a new port would only hurt both parties.
The elders started to talk about him with smiles on their faces. It was inevitable to be embarrassed when his thoughts were revealed. Snorri's reputation in the Mountain Kingdom was unparalleled, and going against his wishes brought a lot of pressure.
"If it is so reliable, I can swear in the name of the ancestors and gods that it will not be placed on the route from Kuata to Haimen Pass." Snorri's next words shocked their faces.
"Where to put it?"
"Is it the Cathay Empire?"
"My ancestors! It must be Ulthuan! Send the pointed ears to..."
These old people can tell the truth. Although Haimen Pass basically only allows warships to cruise within the Blackwater Bay and Bandit Strait, the sea area in this world is larger than the land area, and there are many places where ships can be used!
Not to mention that time is far away from all human forces, the prince from Dulong City and the young man's brother-in-law Thorgard from the opposite side also came to ask for rent when they returned home a few days ago. The Presbyterian Council has not yet come up with the outcome of the dispute!
"Let's put aside the matter of attacking Ulthuan Circle to settle the hatred for now. I also plan to arrange it on the east coast of the Southland to communicate with the Cathay Empire and other forces in the east."
Snorri didn't intend to hide it. After all, he wouldn't believe such nonsense as going on an expedition to Lustria to hunt toads or going to Naggarond to compete for the Witch King's stepfather. Honesty is the most important virtue of a dwarf.
"What if, I mean what if, you produce other ships?" the president of the Marine Engineers Guild was the first to ask.
"I don't have such a plan at the moment. If I do, I won't deploy it on this route unless there are extremely special circumstances." Snorri promised again. "You can still discuss it, but I want to plan it."
President Locke and King Serendine would love it too."
"What a rare thing to live in!" Lord Panos muttered, "I think if I let this artifact slip through my fingers, I will be scolded by the late king if I go to the hall of the ancestors and gods!"
Lao Wang set the tone, and the elders began to negotiate intensively again. Considering that Snorri had made such a big concession, Shanghai Gate agreed to add three more armored ships in the final agreement.
"Whatever you swear is as solid as a rock!"
After repeatedly confirming the restrictions attached to the contract, both parties signed their names on the scroll.
"I need the fleet to move now. They have to sail around the Southland to reach the port of the Bone Temple!" Snorri was not polite, pointing to the nautical chart hanging on the wall and began to make demands.
"No problem. After all, this treasure is easy to deliver. Pass my order to fill up the Valaya Gift with fuel!" Panos agreed happily. After the ship is in place, the old sailors will also be responsible for training the Southland crew.
task.
"I believe that you can restore the war gears of God Mogrim to their former glory! By the way, you can't say that I sent this thing as a gift. Well, it was originally at Haimen Pass, in my
Got the fix with help!”
Before heading out, Snorri gave another warning. Considering that he had collected cultural relics first, and there was no movement in the Southland, Haimen Pass took out an artifact. Someone who was interested would definitely be able to think of him, so it was necessary to unify the caliber in advance.
After leaving Haimen Pass, Snorri rushed home. Along the way, he saw the railway under construction. Compared with the one in the Southland, its mileage was much shorter, and its power was also conventional steam-driven. If everything went well, after the wedding, he
You can take this railway for your return trip.
Karaz-a-Karak was decorated with lights and decorations again, and the dwarves seemed to enjoy one happy event after another. Due to various considerations, the specifications of this wedding were far beyond the usual, and the guest lineup and the hatred meeting a few years ago were all different.
about there.
Of course, Snorri still has the task of master of ceremonies, but after so many years, he has already become familiar with it, and there is no need to rehearse too much.
After showing his face to the clan, he went straight to the underground guild hall. Master Kragg sent him a rune telegram a few days ago, and his armor has been completed!
