As soon as he heard that Snorri wanted to communicate with An Le, he pretended to go back to his room to rest, while An Le took out the earthly barrier and went back. This thing, which was originally used to save lives when defeated, was used for eavesdropping and sneak attacks.
This war gear looks like a useless piece in his 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. Once its magical power was activated, the warship felt like it was on stimulants.
It also represents the direct inheritance of the engineer god Mogrim. In the dwarf countries, the engineers of Riptide Pass and Haimen Pass are the most powerful. The engineers at Haimen Pass formed an independent "Ocean Engineers Guild" in order not to live under the torrent pass.
Considering that shipping already relies on the sea gate, and considering the good relationship between themselves and President Bullock and his son, Southland's ordnance purchase orders 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 construction of 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 with the five dreadnoughts that can still be rebuilt, this artifact gear with great practical value and greater symbolic significance is undoubtedly more attractive.
By eavesdropping, Snorri learned 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 outstanding engineering masters like Bloxson around him.
If Snorri gets a dreadnought, it won't take long for his engineers to conquer the core technology. When the time comes to build a few more ships, it will not be a dream to achieve self-sufficiency in shipping. 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' time to this day.
. "
Lord Panos' 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 the Haimenguan fleet after I have the dreadnought?"
The King of Southland smiled. He had no intention of grabbing Haimenguan's shipping business. This fortress has a unique location and has always had a close relationship with the Supreme Court. Kicking them away and building a new port can only hurt both parties.
The elders started to talk about him with smiles on their faces. It was inevitable to be embarrassed by what was in Dao Po's mind. Snorri's reputation in the Mountain Kingdom was unparalleled, and going against his wishes brought considerable 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.
. "
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 the distant human forces, the prince from Dulong City a few days ago and the young man's brother-in-law Thorgard from the opposite side also came to ask for rent when they returned, and 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 didn't even believe the nonsense about going on an expedition to Lustria to hunt toads or going to Naggarond to hire 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, and if I do, I won't deploy it on this route unless there are extremely special circumstances." Snorri promised again. "You can discuss it further, but I think President Bullock and King Serendine will also like it."
"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 discuss intensively again. Considering that Snorri had made such a big concession, Shanghai Gate agreed to add three more ironclads in the final agreement.
“What 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 chart hanging on the wall and started making demands.
"No problem, after all, this treasure is easy to deliver. Send 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 fixed with help!”
Before leaving the house, Snorri warned him again. Considering that he had collected cultural relics first, and there was no movement in the Southland, Haimenguan took out a divine weapon. Someone who is interested will definitely think of him, so it is necessary to unify the caliber in advance.
After leaving Haimen Pass, Snorri rushed home. Along the way, he saw the railway being built. Compared with the one in Southland, its mileage is much shorter, and its power is also conventional steam-driven. If everything goes well, he will be able to take the railway back after the wedding.
Karaz-a-Karak was once again decorated with lights and decorations, and the dwarves seemed to be enjoying one happy event after another. Due to various considerations, the specifications of this wedding far exceeded the usual ones, and the guest lineup was almost the same as that of the hate conference a few years ago.
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.
Once he showed 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!
