Journey of the Infinite Wizard

The news delivered by the dwarves is quick and quick. These distressed dwarves who dig mountains and drill holes all day seem to lack the necessary senses for things like enjoyment. They are not keen on farming, doing business and other farming, or what nomads should do. They are full of thoughts about digging out the treasures contained in the mountains and underground, all kinds of minerals, and so on. They will separate the metal wrapped in the stone, and then forge them into various things, weapons, accessories, etc.

They continue to dig deep underground, and build passages and cities along the way. Although they are short in stature, the city they built is very tall and strong. They used the stones in the mining process to polish and build their own cities. Regarding the bonding problem between them, the dwarves seemed to have a special way to bond these large boulders with almost no gaps. And extremely strong, can withstand the test of a long time, and stand tall!

The dwarves of the First Era, compared with the higher elves in their civilization level, are undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Highly developed high elves, facing dwarves and humans, they have a natural sense of superiority. Whether it is forging, farming, military, or culture and art, the high elves at this moment have already surpassed the tribes for hundreds of years. Dwarves and humans have also learned knowledge from high elves. Especially the latter, because humans are the closest to the elves in some respects, and they are both children of Iluvita, so they are naturally a little closer to the elves in terms of identity. But it was only the closeness that he showed when compared with the dwarf. At other times, the elves are not so good or passionate about human beings. They are the ethnic group favored by Vera, the eldest son (eldest daughter) of Iluvita's children, and the immortal fire contained in their souls allows them to enjoy an almost endless life span!

In addition, in other aspects, elves have too many advantages over dwarves and humans. Super keen five senses, almost magical sixth sense, the latter is especially vividly manifested in powerful high elves. They will always have special superpowers, and dialogue with people in their minds is just the easiest way to use them. In addition, their physical coordination abilities are also surprisingly powerful. Compared with the elves, dwarves and humans want to achieve this light and keen physical coordination ability, which must be trained through the most difficult training day after day. In addition, rely on such a little talent.

Newborn dwarves and humans more or less possess some special abilities. However, with the changes of the years and the improvement of civilization, their ability is almost dissipated a little bit. As a result, by the time of the Third Age, human beings no longer possess such special abilities. And the elves, in addition to the high elves, the secondary elves, their talents are constantly fading. The most obvious example is the high elves at this moment. Their height generally exceeds one meter nine or two meters, and their descendants have significantly regressed in height. Moreover, the body has become thinner, without the tall and strong bodies of the high elves.

In fact, during the war that took place in the First Age, the high elves were able to stand against the attacks of the evil legions and evil spirits under Morgoth, and even won many times. Their burly tall and strong body is indispensable. Less. However, in the second and third epochs, their descendants faced the attacks of half-orcs and suffered heavy losses every time, except for individual elites. It is difficult for most elven armies to win more battles with less.

However, the number of high elves who returned to the east in the first era was not large. At least Morgoth's army is many times larger than theirs, but it is such a group of elves with far fewer numbers than their enemies. Not only repelled the army of Morgoth and the evil spirits under his command many times, but even attacked Angerban, Morgoth's lair. And under Morgoth's command, there were five to seven heads of Balrog alone. This kind of extremely rare and powerful species had only one head left in the Third Age. What about other Balrogs? The answer is obvious, it was killed by the high elves, or there may be a fish that slipped through the net hiding deep in the unknown underground and sleeping.

These are some of the issues Jiang Ning is thinking about in Wang Zhang, and these issues have not yet been revealed in his ethnic group. He still has a lot of time to think about or verify his guess. It was at this time that the Durin dwarves on the Misty Mountains dispatched messengers in reply. They responded quickly to the news, and in less than three days, the dwarf sent an emissary again. Jiang Ning was slightly surprised at this, and then he received the messenger of the independent dwarf in his king's account.

Looking at the acquaintances, Jiang Ning smiled, "Your envoy is coming soon!" He meant something, but Dan the dwarf didn't care. He took out a roll of animal skins from his arms, and he had an elf. The attendant took the roll of animal skin and placed it on the table in front of Jiang Ning. He looked at this roll of animal skins, which appeared to be slightly worn, with a few lines of dwarf writing.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand the words of dwarves!"

Dan frowned. The language communication between the two parties was not smooth, and they were able to communicate normally and unimpeded, thanks to this special ability of telepathy.

"Well, let's change to a trading method that can understand each other and is easy to understand!" After finishing speaking, before Dan's answer, he took out a roll of white parchment, spread it on the table, and took out a dip pen and dipped it. Ink, painting on parchment paper. Because each other's language and text are not communicated, it is very inconvenient to communicate. Jiang Ning did not believe in dwarves, and the dwarves did not believe in their group of elves. Therefore, in order to avoid constant wrangling in the boring tricks that may appear in the future, it is better to solve the hidden dangers that may arise from the beginning.

He used pictures on parchment paper as a substitute for text, and drew what he needed. After thinking about it, he was a little uneasy. He deliberately used colored inks for inking, adding bright colors to monotonous pictures. , And also further prevent the so-called loopholes. He ordered the finished sheepskin scroll to be handed over to the dwarf Dan, and then he spoke in his mind with telepathic ability: "Your envoy will go back, and please tell your king. We, the Elves of Iswell, can provide a lot of you. Things that have never been thought of or seen before. Once the two parties have determined the trade relationship, then you must provide your items in accordance with the requirements given by us, and we will also use wine, spices and other things as bargaining chips for the two sides to trade with each other. !"

Dan unfolded the parchment scroll in his hand and looked at the almost lifelike picture drawn on it. With the added colors on it, he could easily understand what the picture above was about. It is nothing more than big boulders of varying lengths and widths, bars of stone, iron blocks, mithril, feathers, etc. As for gold and silver, to be honest, they don't need it at the moment, and these things just look good. But for them now, they don’t have much value at all. What they need most is all kinds of boulders to build cities, and to make arrow feathers. As for the trees, they are in many forests, and they are in the southern part of Fargon. The forest has countless trees. And to the east of them, there is an even larger dark dense forest!

Dan looked at it carefully. He looked at the boulders and iron blocks, and asked uncertainly, "His Majesty the Elf King, I want to ask you if these boulders polished according to your requirements, is it a thousand yuan for a barrel of wine? Two spices?" Jiang Ning smiled in his heart, and he said: "Yes, we don't need your gold, silver and jewels. We only need the stones for building the city. Of course, the stones are carefully polished according to the specifications we provide. Other than that. In addition, we also need high-quality iron blocks and mithril, as well as poultry feathers. Besides, we don’t need other things!"

Dann's face was a little bad, he defended, "But your honorable Majesty the Elf King, don't you think the content of the transaction is a bit unfair?" Jiang Ning said with surprise, "I don't know where the envoy saw the so-called unfairness? "

Dann pointed to the exchange column above and said: "A thousand stones polished according to your requirements can only be exchanged for a barrel of wine, or a couple of spices or sugar? Isn't such a harsh trading condition not excessive? ?"

"No, no, of course not." Jiang Ning shook his head and held up a finger. "These stones are worthless things all over the world. Not to mention the distance, just the near. The Misty Mountains are full of stones. , It just takes a while. In fact, the price I give is fair. Compared with the commodities we trade, these are all rubbish. They are things that are discarded on the ground and no one will take a second look. They don’t have much value at all! As for the wines we produce and foods made with spices, you know how valuable you have eaten yourself. I think the trading method is fair, and I don’t want to change it."

"but…"

Jiang Ning interrupted him, "Your envoy must understand that we do not need to do business with you so urgently. The purpose is to use the basis of trade to further deepen the relationship between our two races, although we do not need to do this. But we I still want to establish friendship with the dwarves~www.NovelMTL.com~ Besides, I also want to hire you all forest dwarves to help us build the city. The payment can be wine, spices, sugar or soft silk , Or shiny gold, silver and jewelry!"

Dan thought about it, and then said after a while: "Hire us to build a city for you. I'm sorry that my king didn't authorize me. I need to ask His Majesty the King. As for the trade relationship between us, I can be sure here. Said that the Durin dwarves are willing to establish friendship and trade relations with the Elves of Iswell."

"We are also happy to establish friendship and trade relations with the Durin dwarves!"

Afterwards, the dwarven messenger Dan went to the Misty Mountains. He wanted to tell Durin I of the trade relationship and the elves' request to hire them to build a city. As for Durin I's answer, it was not his concern. However, these are not important to Jiang Ning. He doesn't value them at all. He just wants to build a tall, safe and strong fortress city earlier. Although the trade between the two sides is very unfair to the dwarves, because they have to spend manpower to mine, polish these boulders, and then transport them to the elves. The manpower spent during this period was far from the value of a barrel of wine, but Jiang Ning didn't consider these at all. He was the Elf King, not the Dwarf King. He should consider and pay attention to the interests of his own race, not the dwarves. And he is not the kind of stupid hat who suffers a lot by himself and makes a big bargain. Whether the dwarf suffers or not has nothing to do with him.
