Gilder looked at them contemptuously, then turned his head and said respectfully.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, since we have finished our preliminary discussions, I will leave without bothering you. I will come to visit with gifts next time when I have time."

"After all, [-]% of the long-term cooperation is not a small amount. I will go back immediately and complete the follow-up tasks as soon as possible, so as to improve our cooperation as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the other businessmen suddenly widened their eyes.

You are so fucking greedy!

If one person eats [-]% of the share, aren't you afraid of choking to death?

Facts have proved that Gilder is really not afraid. He not only has extremely strong financial resources, but also has a very wide network of contacts. He is protected by the high-level officials of the Maple Forest Principality.

"That's fine, I will stay in the Northern Continent for a while, and I welcome His Excellency Gilder to visit again."

Gilder nodded, and after another salute, he turned around and left surrounded by many servants.

Knowing that Gilder had completed the negotiation one step ahead of them and snatched away a full [-]% of the share, the rest of the businessmen were upset and looked at each other with a bit of hostility in their eyes.

It seemed even more urgent.

Now any businessman in Fenglin Port knows that as long as they get the weapons and equipment of the Ocean Crown and transport them to the north, they will definitely make money.

For the remaining [-]% share, they must grab as much as possible.

If you don't grab it, others will grab it.

It is more uncomfortable for others to make money than for them to lose money!

inexplicably between.

In the hall with only a dozen people, there was a burst of gunpowder suddenly, and it became a little full of gunpowder.

After learning that Ji Chen was the real speaker, all of them surrounded him with smiles on their faces.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, I am the chairman of the Xuelin Chamber of Commerce, and I have very strong funds. It is definitely right to choose me as a partner."

"Your Excellency, I have more than a dozen ocean-going ships under my banner, with strong transportation capabilities, and can transport goods directly from your territory."

"I have a wide network of contacts, and I guarantee that your business will be unimpeded in Fenglin Port."

Seeing the businessmen with flattering smiles on their faces and scrambling to talk, Ji Chen suddenly felt a lack of interest.

It just so happened that the discussion with Gilder before, coupled with the long journey, finally felt a little tired at this time.

So he waved his hand and called Raymond over, and said.

"I have full authority to authorize you to distribute the remaining weapons and equipment, and you will also be responsible for the Ocean Crown in the future."

"I'll go up to rest first, and just tell me the result tomorrow."

Raymond was stunned for a moment, a burst of surprise appeared on his face.

Give him full authority to handle such an important business worth tens of millions of gold coins?

What a trust! ?
This is something that only core members, no, confidantes can do!
Ji Chen stood up and patted his shoulder: "Don't let me down."

Trying to suppress the excitement in his heart, Raymond said with a grateful and serious expression: "I will not disappoint your trust, and I will definitely complete this matter beautifully."

Ji Chen nodded slightly, walked away in full view, and disappeared at the end of the stairs.

After watching the whole process, the businessmen gathered around eagerly.

Raymond was surrounded by many businessmen, his eyes were brighter than ever, and his spirit was high.

An extremely desolate wilderness.

A rather short but extremely strong figure stopped slowly.

Surrounding them, dozens of huge desert waves with fierce faces and bodies the size of calves surrounded them.

Looking at the figure in front of them, the saliva in their mouths is constantly secreting, and their hunger is strongly impacting their reason.

The figure slowly raised its head, no trace of fear could be seen on the rough bearded face under the cloak, its eyes looked at the surrounding giant wolves emotionlessly, and the giant hammer on its shoulders was also lowered, hitting the ground There was a very muffled sound.

However, these did not scare the giant wolf who had been hungry for several days at all.

This heavy voice was like a stone, breaking the last string of the giant wolf's reason.

roar~
Dozens of giant desert wolves rushed forward, trying to tear up the figure and fill their stomachs.

"A bunch of beasts."

Tomodo said coldly, picking up the giant hammer with one hand, it was as easy as holding a wooden stick, and with a single swing, the pointed hammer head made of all metal smashed the skull of a giant wolf, bursting Blood and brains poured out all over the sky.

thump~
thump~
Every swiping strike is like the giant wolf personally sending the body up.

The strength of each blow is just right, the angle and precision are closer than that of a machine, and no movement or strength is superfluous.

The giant wolves rushed up one after another, either their heads were blown off by a hammer, or their bones were directly smashed by their waists, and they were paralyzed to the ground.

Even Tomodo's body cannot be touched.

In just a few minutes, half of the giant desert wolves that could hunt a caravan were killed or injured, and the remaining few fled away with their tails between their legs.

Tomodo looked at it, but didn't chase after him. He casually put the giant hammer on his shoulder and continued to move forward, heading deep into the wilderness.

Through the barren hills, through the rushing river, through the rocky beaches.

In a valley, he finally stopped.

far away.

A very majestic, huge fortress sits among the mountains.

If you don't count the gaps and damages all over the place, as well as the lifelessness and desolation that no matter how majestic it can't hide.

Tomodo looked at it, with a hint of shock and disbelief in his eyes.

"Black Iron Castle, how did it become like this? What happened to the dwarves for thousands of years?"

In memory, the Black Iron Fortress is made of countless rare metals and smelted through the "solar furnace". It weighs hundreds of tons and is known as the gate of the fortress that cannot be breached from the outside - "Dwarf Shield". At that time, a large hole more than ten meters wide appeared on the door, and there were traces of melting on the edge of the hole.

Inside the fortress, the magnificent sculptures and temples of the past have been ruined, and the hall that once could accommodate tens of thousands of people is also a mess. The statue that symbolizes the unity of the dwarves - the hammer of the dwarves has been torn apart and scattered all over the place.

Looking at everything, Tomodo's eyes were extremely complicated.

Relying on memory, I walked through corridors and halls, and what I saw was desolate at that time. The traces of axes and knives on the walls and ground seemed to indicate how fierce the battle took place here.

— so fierce that not even a united dwarf can stop it.

In an inconspicuous side hall, Tomodo turned a dwarf sculpture that had been broken in two. With a rumbling sound, a passage entrance appeared on the rock wall.

walk into.

Perhaps it was because the passage was relatively airtight, there were still skeletons left, including those of dwarves and those of other races, but it was just a breeze from the feet that blew them into a pile of powder.

Walking along the long and narrow passage to the end, there is a huge dome space.

There used to be a mountain of dwarves' treasures stored here, but it was empty at this time. Obviously, when the Black Iron Fort was captured, this place was also looted.

Tomodo stopped for a moment, then walked to a corner, touched a stone brick, pressed it with a specific angle of strength, and rotated it.

A click.

A passage was opened on the side that was only big enough for two people to pass side by side.

Inside the tunnel, there were no bones or traces of battle.

Seeing this, Tomodo was refreshed, with some hope in his eyes.

This is a secret that only a very small number of dwarves in the Black Iron Castle know. They agreed that if the Black Iron Castle encounters an irresistible attack and faces the crisis of extinction, they will record everything that happened and store it in it. , for posterity to know.

In it, it may be possible to know what happened to the dwarves back then.

This passage is very narrow and winding, as if going deep into the depths of the mountain.

But Tomodo didn't show any impatience, and walked on quietly.

Finally came to the end, and slowly pushed the last stone door open.

Behind the door is a small secret room, inside there is only a platform with a short stone pillar on top of which is a white crystal.

Leaning on the side of the stone pillar was the skeleton of a short dwarf in fine clothes and golden bones.

At the heart of his chest, stuck a dagger with a strange shape, which dealt him a fatal blow.

Tomodo froze for a moment, looking sad.

He recognized who this dwarf skeleton was
"Claudio, did you fall too?"

Claudio Black Iron, one of the dwarven epic powerhouses of the Black Iron Castle back then, was also his close friend, guarding the Black Iron Castle and the dwarves together.

The deadly heart was attacked, but he still insisted to come here, which is enough to prove how sudden and intense what happened back then, and how powerful the enemy was.

There was a huge sense of guilt in Tomodo's heart.

If he had stayed in the Black Iron Fort back then, he would not have been caught by the Grand Lich Chris.

With so many of his epic combat strength, will things happen here turn around, and Black Iron Fortress will not be breached?
With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Tomodo finally calmed down, and his eyes gradually became firm.

"Claudio, did you persist here and keep the information?"

"What kind of enemy is it? Even you can't match it. You can only fall into this small secret room."

Tomodo stepped forward and touched the crystal lightly.

A light curtain projected out.

In the light curtain was a dwarf with the same rough image, his face was gray and his eyes were dull.

The dagger was stuck in the chest, and a terrible wound ran across the lower abdomen to the right shoulder, and the pale bones were faintly visible.

If ordinary people came, they would have been dead for a long time, and only epic-level powerhouses could persist and come here to leave a message.

I saw Claudio Heitie in the light curtain saying slowly:

"I am one of the three epic heroes of Black Iron Castle, Claudio Black Iron. If the overall situation is settled, I should have died."

But I never thought that the Black Iron Fortress would fall in this way. With just one blow, our proud 'Dwarf Shield' was penetrated. Defeated, lost the outer line of defense."

Penetrated in an instant?
Tomodo's face was horrified. Even the Epic Rank powerhouse could not destroy the 'Dwarf Shield' in such a violent way, let alone with just one blow.

What's more, there are countless fortifications and powerful defense equipment on the periphery of the Black Iron Fort. Relying on the dangerous terrain, they will not allow the enemy to attack wantonly, even tens of thousands of troops can keep it out.

It was breached in just half a day?
At the first thought, Tomodo didn't believe it, but when he thought of the damaged door and Claudio's appearance, he had to believe this fact with difficulty.

Claudio Heitie didn't pause for a moment, he was still talking, but his speech speed became much faster, obviously he also knew that his life was numbered.

Answer the doubts in Tomodo's heart one by one, and tell the secrets buried in the past.

".The Trickster is the chief culprit for the fall of the Black Iron Castle"

Fraudster?
Tomodo's pupils shrank, but the group of fraudsters, the rats living in the sewers, who had no belief in gods, was fine with doing sneaky things behind their backs. How could they have the ability to capture the strong black iron fortress?
He caught his breath and continued to read.

".The fraud master used a large-scale sacrifice to summon a Hell Balrog whose strength reached the epic level, and reached a certain kind of deal with him, and attacked the Black Iron Castle together. The Dwarf Shield was destroyed by this Balrog .”

".In order to stop this terrifying Balrog, Deod Black Iron, another epic hero of Black Iron Fort, and I were seriously injured. In the end, although we tried our best, we successfully dragged it to the rules of the world to exclude it from the world. , back to hell,

But because of this, the flaws were exposed. Deod Heirie was killed by the epic hero of the evil faction brought by the fraudster.

And I was also hit by a dagger that was cursed by the evil god's supernatural power that the fraudster found from nowhere. My body and soul were both terribly cursed. "

"It is impossible for me to survive being so cursed. The destruction of the Black Iron Castle has become an irreversible fact, so I came here with all my strength and told all this, hoping that the surviving dwarves will know what happened here."

Having said that, Claudio Heitie's darkened face showed a trace of solemnity.

"No matter what method you use to come here, dwarves, or other races, please remember, don't let the fraud master know you, or you know what happened here, otherwise the group of people who hate all gods and all gods The race, as well as the lunatics of the god-favored ones, will definitely do everything they can to devise plots and means to kill you."

"Ahem. It's almost the end of what I want to say. I feel that my life has come to an end. Ahem."

"By the way, cough, cough, cough, you may be able to secretly look for Tomodo Black Iron. He is the only dwarf epic hero who survived this catastrophe in Black Iron Castle. He is a powerful combat force and forging technology that you can rely on. Second only to me."

Claudio Heitie showed a trace of exclamation on his face, "At that time I said the three of us, Tomodo is the most stupid, but the dwarf with the best luck must be the last one alive. I didn't expect it to be so. It’s really amazing.”

The light curtain was closed at this moment, and the secret room fell into boundless silence.

a long time.

A voice slowly sounded in the secret room.

"I swear to the gods in the name of Tomodo Black Iron, I will definitely avenge you and Black Iron Fort, and wipe out the fraudsters!"

"There is a high probability that the sewer rats like the fraud master will survive to this day. That kid Ji Chen has a very pure aura of divine favor. If he stays on an isolated island overseas, he can hide a thing or two. Once he sets foot on the mainland, he will definitely attract their attention. ,
No, I heard that he will go to the mainland some time ago, I have to remind him quickly, so as not to make him suffer. "
