In addition, mining requires a lot of manpower. The Do'Urden family must send a large number of slaves to mine. The situation in Menzoberranzan is completely different from that in the above world. Each family is a competitor, and they occasionally mobilize manpower on a small scale.
You may not be able to see it yet, but it is impossible to hide the long-term and large-scale deployment of manpower.
There were originally 134 families in Menzoberranzan. Now that the Deaver family has been wiped out, there are still 133. And the top 8 ruling council families still want to take the lion's share. If the silver mine is discovered, the Do'Urden family can get it.
The output of one-fifteenth of the silver mines is as high as the sky. This is because the silver mines appear in the area under the jurisdiction of the Do'Urden family.
Besides, there are differences in the prices of many materials between the ground and the ground. Things like silver mines are far less popular in the Underdark than above ground, and the prices are much lower. That's why the Do'Urden family is interested in silver.
Mine is so ignored.
But it would be different if this silver mine was sold above ground and then directly exchanged for common currency or above-ground supplies needed in the Underdark. Even if only one-twentieth of the silver mine output was still a small amount for the Do'Urden family.
Considerable progress.
Starting from the above point, Yun Xiaohan thought of his third bargaining chip, that is, he is a lord, and he can trade with the Do'Urden family. Yun Xiaohan can provide the Underdark with nothing to produce.
For materials that are in high demand, the Do'Urden family can also provide materials that are relatively rare on the ground. In this way, both parties can make a lot of difference in price, thus achieving a win-win situation.
With the third bargaining chip, there is the fourth bargaining chip. Although the strength of the Viscounty of Corsica is not strong, but it depends on who it is compared with. Compared with the Do'Urden family, the Viscounty of Corsica is not much worse.
, although the high-end combat power cannot be compared, the combat power of ordinary territorial soldiers is not worse than the slaves of the Do'Urden family, but the combat power of surface races will be greatly reduced when they fight underground.
In addition, if the above-ground forces intervene in the civil war between families in Menzoberranzan, they will also be boycotted by other families. In addition, the dark elves are suspicious and are not welcomed by the surface races. There will be no conflict between the above-ground forces and the dark elves.
Cooperate, so no dark elf family will introduce above-ground forces into family wars.
But at the last moment when the family is about to be destroyed, and with no other way out, the forces of the Corsican territory can be used as the Do'Urden family's last resort to make a comeback.
But Yun Xiaohan didn't want to use the fourth chip if he could. He didn't want to sacrifice his own strength to help the dark elves fight life and death. Besides, Yun Xiaohan didn't have a good impression of the Do'Urden family. He could use the first three chips to negotiate.
It is the best, and you will only use this chip when the negotiation is about to collapse.
I have to admit that my caution when doing those 20 missions helped Yun Xiaohan a lot. A lot of information was slowly learned during those 20 missions, and further information was deduced afterwards.
This is obviously deliberately arranged by the system for players to understand, but if you don't read the mission instructions carefully at that time and just skim it, or you don't pay attention during the mission and don't understand the information that doesn't seem to be directly related to the mission, you will still
Without a certain level of analytical reasoning ability, it would be impossible to consider things so comprehensively now, and it would be even less possible to think of such countermeasures.
To put it in one sentence, it is that the plot designer did not give the players a chance, and the players themselves cannot seize it, so the plot designer cannot be blamed. Yun Xiaohan didn’t know whether to lament that the plot design was extremely clever, or whether he should lament that the plot design was extremely clever.
Calling these designers too insidious.
After thinking of a countermeasure, Yun Xiaohan used Mo Jing to send a brief message to Zaknafan, asking him to meet at the bottom of the stepped tunnel. On the one hand, he needed to be a matchmaker, and on the other hand, he wanted to talk to him.
.
When Yun Xiaohan returned to the bottom of the stepped tunnel, Zaknafan had already arrived, and there was a candle lit a little distance away from him, which was naturally prepared for Yun Xiaohan.
As soon as he saw Zaknafan, Yun Xiaohan noticed that he had several unusually obvious new injuries on his body, which looked very scary. He looked at Zaknafan hesitantly and asked what was going on.
"I did it myself, and it was measured. They are all minor injuries. They just look miserable, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the mistress and the others." Zaknafan replied. "But why are you back again? Is there something wrong?
"
Hearing what Zaknafan said, Yun Xiaohan also felt quite embarrassed. The other party had made certain sacrifices to protect him, but he couldn't even take anyone out. It was really embarrassing.
Zaknafan and Yun Xiaohan are a united front, and he still needs his cooperation below. In addition, Yun Xiaohan feels that being honest will be more beneficial to both parties, in case Zaknafan takes the initiative to go to the surface in the future and discovers Ivas.
The soldiers in the city were not easy to explain themselves, so they did not lie to Zaknafan and honestly informed Zaknafan of all the difficulties they encountered.
"So the silver mine above is not within your control area?" Zaknafan confirmed.
"Yes, the location of this silver mine should be under the Zhelun Mountains. Although this area is still within the empire, it does not belong to any lord. But the entrance to the silver mine is a limestone pit, and the limestone pit is at
Within the control area of Ivas City." Yun Xiaohan explained carefully.
"Then this silver mine will be owned by the Lord of Ivas City?" Zaknafan still lacked sufficient understanding of the rules on the ground.
"No, he has a lord above him. It is illegal for him to block the news and try to monopolize the mine. I have already passed the news to my lord. He will probably be punished next, but I don't know what kind of punishment he will receive.
Punishment, but he will definitely not be able to gain control of the limestone mine."
"That means it only takes a while?"
"Yes, as long as it takes a while, my lord will arrive, but I don't know exactly when. After all, to deal with the lord of a city, it takes time to prepare and mobilize troops, and we also need to communicate with the lord of Xueman City.
communicate."
"What do you mean?"
"I can stop eating and endure it! But your child can't be hungry all the time. He was just born and hasn't had any milk yet. It won't work if he continues like this. That is to say, he is very well-behaved and hasn't cried yet.
But we can’t starve him to death.”
Zaknafan also blushed when he heard this, but fortunately he couldn't tell because of his dark face. Although dark elves have a higher status as women, women still bring up children, especially male dark elf babies with noble status. Before the age of three,
He was not allowed to come into contact with male dark elves at all, so Zaknavan didn't take this into consideration at all.
