The Reincarnated Goblin evolves from swallowing Rimuru

At the same time, inside the palace of the hero king.

Two black shadows were sitting facing each other in front of a faintly lit shadow stone.

On the Lingering Stone, the scene of Nabei taking out the scroll and casting magic to suppress the Flame Spirit was playing at this moment.

As the Flame Elf Evelet was suppressed back into Jing's body by the huge amount of dark magic like the abyss of the scroll, the faint light of the Shadow Stone gradually became dim, and finally no longer displayed the image.

One of the dark shadows got up and opened the curtains, and the sunlight shone back into the palace, illuminating the face of the black shadow at the same time.

The one who got up and drew the curtains was the king of Dowagon, Lord Hero King.

"Old friend, what do you think about this?"

Another black shadow was illuminated by the sunlight.

"Opinion? Well...... Locke's performance in this battle is not too ideal, although there is a suppression of rank and strength, but it should not be beaten so embarrassing, I will strengthen his training in agility when I go back..." The

old man "seriously" analyzed Locke's combat performance in the photo stone.

"You know that's not what I'm asking."

"Not this?" The old man scratched his head, "I thought you were asking me, the teacher, because Locke's combat performance was so poor."

"Jedar! You are serious! The

Hero King's voice was raised a few degrees.

The old man turned his head to look at the hero king behind him.

The sun shone obliquely on the old man's face.

It turned out to be the dwarf sword saint who should have been in the carving studio.

Looking at the Hero King's serious face, the dwarf sword saint sighed.

"Alas, what can I say, you can see it yourself, although the magician girl's own strength is average, the magic released by the scroll in her hand is definitely high or even super magic.

The forces behind it... I think it should be the Demon Guide Country mentioned in the distress letter from another continent.

Just this scroll that can cast super magic, you and I may not be able to resist together... Therefore, the matter of sending troops to reinforce a different continent still hopes that you can think about it again. The

Hero King was silent, slowly walked to the wooden storage cabinet against the wall, took out a few scrolls and threw them to the Dwarf Sword Saint.

The Dwarf Sword Saint grabbed the flying scrolls and opened them with a puzzled look.

After reading the contents of these scrolls, the dwarf sword saint exclaimed.

"This! "Alas

," the Hero King sighed bitterly, "That's right, the surrounding human empires are ready to force the dwarven nations to revise their domestic business policies on the condition of drastically increasing the export price of grain.

Here's an explanation of why the surrounding human kingdoms forced the Hero King to modify Dowagon's business policies.

Chapter 21 briefly introduces the trade policy of Dowagon, because trade policy is too conscientious compared to other countries, which has led many traders to come to Dowagon to do business from far away.

These merchants produced labor in their respective human kingdoms, then transported their goods to Dowagon to sell, and the money earned from selling them returned to the human kingdom to expand production.

Dowagon made money, merchants made money, but the human kingdom had reduced annual taxes because of the decline in local business activities.

Originally, because the human kingdoms were afraid of the strength of the hero king, they did not point the finger at Dowagon at first, but increased the proportion of taxes on domestic business and production labor.

In this way, the traders who were still doing business in the country were also forced to Dowagon by the high taxes, and the increase in taxes on production labor was originally intended to target those merchants who produced goods in the country and then brought them to Dowagon to sell, but for those merchants it was just an increase in the cost of production, and it was enough to raise the price of goods, which was not a big problem, but it suffered those craftsmen and peasants who honestly produced and worked in the country to support their families, and the heavy taxes made these people miserable.

As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

So later, these toiling masses, oppressed by heavy taxes, stood up.

For a time, those nobles and kings of the human kingdom were in a hurry.

In the end, the violent suppression only beheaded the evil, and the people's hearts were appeased and taxes were lowered, and the turmoil in various countries subsided.

Then the problem returned to the original point, a toss, the country was in chaos, the taxes were repaid, and the people's hearts were gone, and the money was gone.

Finally, I don't know which little cutie thought of a way: it is because Dowagon's business policy is better than ours, so many businessmen will go to Dowagon to do business, so if Dowagon's business policy becomes as bad as ours or even worse, will businessmen return to their own country to do business?

Several kings got together and pondered, this is the reason!

To do that, Dowagon would need to revise his business policy.

By subduing the hero king? Several kings immediately vetoed the proposal.

Finally, countries began posting huge bounties around the country, hoping to brainstorm solutions to the problem.

In the end, it really made which little cutie think of a trick: prohibit cross-border personal trade in food, and food trade between countries can only be carried out through national channels.

The various human kingdoms deliberately staggered the time and enacted this law one after another.

Why is it a trick? Because Dowagon is a country built on the mountains, there is almost no agricultural land, and the only land that can be engaged in is mining.

Therefore, access to food is basically dependent on trade.

At first, Dowagon did not realize the impact of this bill, because at the beginning the human kingdom's grain exports still maintained a normal average market price.

It wasn't until the various human kingdoms suddenly united to force Dowagon to change the law that the hero king reacted.

As for what this has to do with the Hero King sending troops to reinforce the other continent, the Hero King naturally has his own plans.

Reinforcements on another continent are false, and plotting land on another continent is real.

What is the problem with Dowagon, there is no agricultural land, food cannot be self-sufficient.

And if you want to obtain flat and fertile agricultural land on this continent, there are two ways, turn the nearby Gila Great Forest into farmland, or start a war to grab it from the human kingdom.

The first method is not enough time, reclaim the land and then produce grain, no two or three years can not come down, and the high-priced grain country that imports two or three years with the human kingdom will definitely collapse.

The second method is unrealistic, the united human kingdom, Dowagon may not fall behind in the battle of high-level combat power, but it has to be admitted that the strength of the dwarf army is not as good as the human army, and any human army is inferior, let alone in case the human kingdom army unites.

And just when the hero king was distressed, the blood emperor's letter for help arrived.

The Blood Emperor promised in the letter of request for help that as long as friends from other continents were willing to send reinforcements, wealth, power, land, food, slaves, as long as he could take it, he could give reinforcements.

The hero king at that time saw the land and food on the letter of help, as if he saw the dawn of hope.

"Although it's ashamed to say, in fact, I just wanted to find a justification for myself when I sent reinforcements from another continent," the Hero King said with a wry smile, "My real purpose is actually to deceive land and grain from the King of Another Continent, you know, Dowagon has no arable land..."

The dwarf sword saint looked at the embarrassed old friend in front of him, stunned.

"Did the image of integrity that I have been trying to establish collapse in your heart in an instant?" The hero king looked at his stunned old friend and quipped lightly.

"No," the dwarf sword saint said firmly, "it's taller." The

hero king was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed.

"Is it? Hahahahaha!

It was as if the words of the dwarf sword saint had untied all the knots in his heart since he made this decision.
