Lord Era: I, The Strongest Abyss Lord!

———————

"oh?"

"Do you want to ally with me?"

Located in the No. 2 base of the dwarves in Liujin Valley, Li Qi, who had just disassembled a set of mechanical equipment, looked at the dwarf envoy in front of him and said.

Unlike many new lords, Li Qi himself doesn't like to stay in his main base and watch his territory grow remotely.

On the contrary, he prefers to come to the front line in person and stay with those dwarf and goblin engineers to study machinery and technology together.

Although doing so would damage the majesty of the lord in the eyes of many races, in the eyes of dwarves and goblins whose minds are full of bombs and machines, this is the behavior that a truly qualified "lord" should have.

"Yes, this foreign lord."

The dwarf messenger looked around at the dwarves and goblins who were several centimeters shorter than him, and raised his head proudly.

"His Majesty the king of our dwarf kingdom is seeking the possibility of cooperation with all the lords who are willing to cooperate."

"The possibility of seeking cooperation?"

You know, the attitude of the dwarf kingdom was not like this before.

This closed underground kingdom has hated all outsiders indiscriminately since the lords first came to the Trial Continent.

Even a rookie lord like Li Qi who specializes in lord technology and has not shown any aggressiveness for the time being will be treated the same in front of the dwarf king.

But why would they suddenly take the initiative to form an alliance now?

During this time, what happened inside the dwarf kingdom.

Li Qi chewed on these words, looking at the envoy thoughtfully.

He had already guessed something from the change in the attitude of the dwarf kingdom, but not enough, so he needed to learn more about the situation from the mouth of the dwarf messenger.

"Since it's cooperation, then I want to know."

"I was able to get something, and the most important thing."

Li Qi glanced at the map of Liujin Valley, and said to the messenger.

"What should I pay for?"

When the dwarf messenger heard this, he quickly spoke out what the new prime minister had ordered.

"My lord, as a member of our dwarf alliance, please remember that you are just one of them."

"You will get the same trading license as all other allies, and you will be able to use food, wood and other resources to buy a large amount of rare ore from our dwarf kingdom..."

Hearing the word ore, Li Qi's eyes lit up.

"In addition to ores, you will also be able to purchase weapons and armor made within our kingdom at a reasonable price."

"Attention, I'm talking about the weapons and armor made by the dwarves. Those are all high-quality goods!"

The dwarf messenger glanced at the green-skinned goblin who was holding a wrench not far away and was assembling some weird equipment, and narrowed his eyes.

"It's definitely not the junk built by some cat and dog race."

Hearing this, the green-skinned goblin also narrowed his eyes, and silently took out a living bomb robot from behind.

As soon as the bomb robot appeared, it immediately sounded the system alarm that it was about to explode.

Judging from the appearance of the two of them, it is estimated that there is also a chain of contempt in the dwarf race.

"Cough cough."

Li Qi immediately stood in front of the green-skinned goblin, and while quickly dismantling the bomb robot into parts, he said to the dwarf messenger.

"Armor and sword, I understand, please continue to talk..."

The dwarf envoy nodded, and said the ultimate goal.

"But there is a price to maintaining such trade."

"All the lords involved in our trade must work together to maintain the dwarf alliance we are in."

"Any other lords and enemies who want to use improper means to disrupt trade must be eradicated."

After hearing this, Li Qi understood many things.

[In this group of indigenous dwarves in the Trial Continent, there are actually smart people. 】

Li Qi believes that this so-called smart person not only has a very accurate view of the current situation, but also knows how to use diplomatic means to form a community of interests.

You must know that after more and more lords poured into the Trial Continent, the strength of the Dwarf Kingdom is not that strong anymore.

Because the number of territory and soldiers of the lords is increasing every moment, their overall strength will become stronger and stronger.

But this group of natives in the dwarf kingdom still maintained their old ways.

Although the strength of a single lord would take a long time to surpass the entire dwarf kingdom, it was impossible to directly annex the entire dwarf kingdom.

But if a few stronger rookie lords gather together, they still have a chance to gnaw a large piece of territory from the dwarf kingdom.

In addition, the bad attitude of the dwarves before made this possibility soaring.

But now, the dwarves took the initiative to express their goodwill and change their foreign trade policy, which made this possibility much smaller, and even infinitely approached zero.

Because in the case of being able to trade, 99% of the new lords will not take the initiative to have friction with the dwarves.

After all, the first task of new lords is to obtain resource points and complete this trial.

Once the battle between him and the dwarves caused his strength to be damaged, the other lords who peeped at his chassis would tear it into pieces without hesitation, and then kicked him back to his hometown.

Therefore, a stable and unified interest group is not only what all the lords want, but also a "golden medal for avoiding death" in this dwarf kingdom!

"I understand, I am willing to join."

In order to obtain more resources to invest in the construction of the territory, Li Qi decided to join this dwarf alliance.

But what he didn't expect was that the dwarf messenger hadn't finished all the requests.

Before joining the alliance, he had to be "tested" by these dwarves.

—————————

"Then congratulations, the lord named Li Qi."

"Since you want to join our alliance, you have the qualification to temporarily join our alliance."

"Temporarily?" Li Qi was confused. "What's the meaning."

The dwarf messenger smiled, very cunning.

"The so-called temporary is because you must complete a test before officially joining our alliance."

"You must, like other allies, send a certain number of troops to retake a certain tunnel invaded by monsters together with our great dwarf army!"

"Of course, our dwarf kingdom is not incapable of cleaning up these monsters."

"It's just that since we have formed an alliance, we must first test our allies and test whether you really want to join us, so..."

"This will be the final test of your official claim to be a part of our union."

For some reason, Li Qi suddenly felt it.

Behind these dwarves, it seems that there is a big trouble waiting for them...

Big trouble.
