Chapter 452 Dwarves Join

With the goblin's business acumen, they would certainly not engage in loss-making business. In previous investigations, they had carefully observed Ellington's changes and were very sure of the earning potential of Tang En's various technologies, so they were so decisive with him. cooperate.

In other words, even the goblins knew that they would make a profit by cooperating with Tang En, so they agreed to his conditions.

As for supporting him... you have to pay for it anyway, so who is not supporting?

As a goblin who started out as an arms dealer, I am afraid that he is eager for Tang En to become stronger and quickly go out to compete for hegemony. Only war will produce a large amount of consumption and demand, and the banking and arms industries will gain greater profits.

The goblin's thoughts couldn't be hidden from Tang En. After all, he came from the earth. Everyone knew what forces were behind the constant local wars on the earth and wanted to play tricks on him. The goblins still wanted to play tricks on him. Worse.

After the cooperation was confirmed here, Tang En turned around and came to the Forge Hammer Castle, where he directly found the current dwarf king Durandon. Contrary to Tang En's expectation, Duranden did not kiss Selma, but instead In front of the forge, Eberron was forging a battle ax step by step.

"Is it really okay for you to abandon your wife and father-in-law and sweat like rain here?"

Tang En walked over unsteadily. The tomahawk was still a semi-finished product, but the general outline could already be seen. It had a double-curved design with double-edged edges instead of the common single-edged crescent design. This design is difficult to use. If you are not skilled enough, you may hurt yourself accidentally.

Durandon looked at Tang En with slight surprise: "Twain?"

"Your Majesty the King, please do not be distracted during the forging process."

Eberron didn't even raise his head, and the forging hammer continued to hit the embryo steadily. Durandon immediately refocused and got into rhythm.

Tang En spread his hands, took out a lounge chair and juice, lay down next to it and rested. Anyway, the snow was falling heavily in the Ambris Mountains outside, but it was warm as spring inside the big forge, and it felt quite comfortable.

After half an hour, the preliminary tempering was finally over. With a "chi" sound, Eberron put the embryo into the bucket to quench, and then they had time to rest.

Durandon wiped his sweat, carefully moistened his beard, and checked whether it was damaged by the high temperature. He asked: "Why are you here? Today is not the delivery time for asphalt. Could it be that my old man has caused something else? Trouble?"

As soon as he saw Tang En, Durandon's first reaction was that his father was probably in trouble again.

"No, no, no, Brian has been performing very well recently. After being promoted to gold level, he continued to exercise while studying and analyzing various new technologies in the institute. He is quite honest - except for talking nonsense and liking to brag, every day If you go to Old Tom’s place for a drink.”

"Promoted to gold level?"

Eberron's eyes widened in surprise: "That lazy guy Brian? How can he be promoted in this life? It's really an eye-opener for the goddess."

"Hey, you talk about the goddess like that, be careful of divine punishment."

"A mother does not punish her child for an unintentional remark."

Looking at the serious Eberron, Tang En raised his hands and surrendered: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm here for business. Do you want to make money?"

"Making money? It's useless for us to ask for money. We don't have many transactions with humans every year. It is only used in certain villages and human merchants to trade food and wine."

Tang En couldn't laugh or cry: "What if there is a large-scale transaction in the future, but you don't have enough currency to pay for it?"

"What are you afraid of? We have hard currency."

Durandon held up a row of forging hammers carelessly: "The dwarves themselves are gold-lettered. Forging hammers with handles are much more useful than gold coins."

Tang En was just about to refute, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't refute what Durandon said!

A dwarf who carries a forging hammer close to his body must be a superb craftsman who loves forging. I am afraid that anyone would be willing to pay generously for him just to build a relationship.

"Okay, I made a mistake, so let me put it another way, do you want to earn more food and more wine?"

Eberron and Durandon said in unison without hesitation: "Yes!"

wipe! You can buy it even if you have gold coins!

Tang En was too lazy to complain, and he said simply: "Then you can start to prepare. I have reached a cooperation with Star Diamond Bank today. When the Dawn Moon comes, we will carry out large-scale road construction projects and asphalt The demand will be greatly increased, and the current production capacity will be increased at least ten times."

"ten times!?"

Duranden was stunned: "Even with those magic drilling machines you provided, it is too exaggerated to increase the production capacity ten times. I still need to recruit at least thirty times the number of employees to achieve three shifts!"

"I can continue to increase the supply of magic drills. In addition, I can also provide you with an additional hundred magic drills as reward, which you can use as you wish."

"It's not enough."

Durandon was obviously moved, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Tang En with a smile and said: "I heard the old man show off that the magic furniture produced by Ellington is very popular. We also want to try it. If possible, How about we exchange resources for purchases?”

Tang En was stunned, nodded and said, "I was negligent. What do you need?"

"Magic air conditioners, magic washing machines, magic refrigerators, magic hair dryers, magic water heaters, etc..."

Duranden had obviously done enough homework and spoke without hesitation. After a pause, he looked at Tang En expectantly: "By the way, do you produce any magic machines specially used to maintain beards?"

Tang En was stunned, and then said angrily: "Of course not! Humans are not like dwarves and cannot understand the beauty of beards. But if you need it, I can help you develop a magic product for beard styling. How about it?"

"It would be great!"

Unexpectedly, it was not Durandon who rushed to answer, but Eberron: "Although the unkempt hair is good, I feel a bit unsatisfied all the time, and I am a bit tired of always having my hair braided. It would be great if you could change the look.”

Tang En's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that Eberron would actually take it seriously when he said it casually.

It seems that I really want to come up with the magic hair curling device later, but the technical content is not high anyway...

Even if you don't sell it to dwarves, it would be good to sell it to those noble ladies. They still use hollow copper rods and charcoal to curl their hair. If there are more convenient tools, they will definitely be ecstatic.

"In addition to magic furniture, I also hope that you can build a road between Forgehammer Castle and various dwarf villages for free."

Durandon is not stupid, even the cunning goblin is willing to cooperate with Tang En to build roads, which shows that the asphalt is really good for paving roads, at least it is profitable. In this case, their dwarf country cannot lag behind.

"this……"

Tang En frowned: "The terrain of the Ambris Mountains is complex, and the temperature changes greatly in winter and summer, and there is a lot of rain and snow. Moreover, there are usually woods between dwarf villages. If roads are built, it will cause great damage to the vegetation and greening." Destruction, the project is very difficult, if you ask the goblins to repair it for free, they will definitely not be happy."

Durandon also frowned: "That's it..."

"How about this!"

Tang En suddenly thought of an idea: "The goblins don't know about the teleportation array, so we can use the excuse of transporting asphalt to let them first fund the construction of the road from Fort Forge to Ellington, and in the process, connect it Go to other dwarf villages.”

"Yes, yes, but are you afraid of revealing the secret of asphalt?"

Eberron looked at Tang En suspiciously: "Do you think those cunning goblins will continue to cooperate with you if they know the source and secret of asphalt?"

Tang En smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, the excavated asphalt cannot be used directly to build roads, and even if they knew it, without my magic machinery, they would not be able to build roads efficiently in large quantities, not to mention the asphalt. It’s not that easy to find, they can’t just dig up asphalt right under your noses, right?”

"That's true."

"Even if at the end of the day, they can actually get asphalt, figure out the technology, and even do quick paving on their own, then I'd love to see that happen."

Tang En smiled faintly and said: "What they did was just to help me quickly achieve a goal, so that I can focus on other things. As for the benefits, I honestly don't care."

"It surprises me."

Eberron said with a smile: "I thought humans and goblins both put profit first."

"That's true."

Before Eberron could be surprised, Tang En spread his hands and continued: "It's just that it's too easy for me to earn gold coins, so I'm not interested. Gold coins are enough. After all, they are just a currency and cannot be eaten. It doesn’t work.”

"If other people could think like you, the world would be a more peaceful and beautiful place."

"Don't be ridiculous, Purandar is very peaceful now, okay?"

Tang En had never seen such a peaceful alien world. Whether it was games, novels, comics or animations, which alien world he saw was not full of war and blood?

But having said that, if Purandar didn’t have a true god, I guess Purandal would be about the same now.

After negotiating the details of the cooperation with Durandon, Tang En returned to Ellington. The next step is to take advantage of the remaining twenty days of the Frozen Moon to start working overtime to produce magic energy drilling rigs and magic energy road levelers. The complete machine, the magic energy paver and the magic energy roller, because Gallian patted his chest to ensure that there would be enough manpower by then, and planned to start several engineering projects at the same time, so these equipment must be sufficient.

It's just that... with Ellington's current production conditions and number of workers, it may be difficult to achieve the production target on the estimated date.

Tang En frowned slightly and sighed. It seemed that the production base in Black Stone Cave needed to start construction in advance.
