Chapter 147 Wait! Subway! ?

Although he had agreed to cooperate with Dunn, Cloto was still unhappy.

For an avid engineer, it is obvious that he has the opportunity to participate in new research work for the first time, but he cannot join it because of his own identity. Only he can experience this pain.

Crotor suddenly asked: "By the way, Durandon, I heard that you granted the status of an honorary citizen of the Dunn Dwarf Kingdom?"

Du Landon nodded: "Of course, Mr. Tang En has been kind to me! If it weren't for his guidance, I wouldn't be able to break through to the Grandmaster level now."

"Grandmaster level?"

Cloto was amazed: "Entering the Grandmaster class at your age is indeed not bad, at least much better than your father."

"Of course!"

Durandon snorted: "My father... forget about him."

"What's wrong with me!?"

At this moment, Brian's voice suddenly came over, and then he and Eberron were seen pushing the door in, staring at Durandon: "Speaking ill of me behind my back again!?"

"Do I need to speak ill of you behind your back?"

Durandon stared back.

"You unfilial bastard son..."

"All right, all right Brian, he's right."

Tang En waved his hand to stop him: "If you say bad things about you, you can say it to your face, there is no need to say it behind your back."

"Big brother even protects him!?"

Eberron nodded: "What Dun En said makes sense."

Brian jumped anxiously: "What!? You all bully me, right? Cloto, just watch, right!?"

Cloto spread his hands: "It's not convenient for me to talk about your family affairs."

"Humph!"

Seeing that no one supported him, Brian sat beside him with a muffled grunt: "Here's a big charcoal grilled meat!"

"me too."

Tang En looked at the two of them curiously: "Why are you here? Why are you so disheartened?"

"Nothing, just went to check...well, nothing."

Seeing Brian playing charades, Tang En didn't ask any more questions.

Cloto suddenly said with a smile: "Master Tang En, I wonder if you are willing to accept the status of a dwarf honorary citizen?"

"Of course I would, it's my pleasure."

Tang En would not be so stupid as to refuse. With this status, it will be more convenient for him to hire more dwarf employees in the future.

"In this case, accept this."

Cloto gave Tang En a badge engraved with a complex gear pattern: "This is the badge of honor of our Gnome Engineering Association. If you accept this, you will be a member of the association. We can study together if there are any problems in the future."

Tang En put away the badge with a smile: "It's an honor."

"You are really willing to spend your money!"

Durandon was very surprised. Seeing that Tang En was puzzled, he explained: "The Dwarf Engineering Association is similar to the king's council of dwarves and the noble council of humans. Even many people in the dwarf kingdom can't get that badge."

"I see."

"In that case, by the way, I'll give you this too."

Durandon fumbled for a while, and casually threw a badge over. On the badge was a pattern of a forging hammer, a furnace, and an anvil. Twain knew this one, and it was a symbol of the national identity of the dwarf kingdom.

Durandon shrugged: "My badge is not as valuable as Crotor, it's just a status symbol."

Cloto said with a smile: "Don't listen to his nonsense. In the past few hundred years, no foreigner in the Dwarf Kingdom has ever obtained this badge. This in itself is already a manifestation of value."

Tang En accepted the badge with a smile.

After lunch, the Afternoon Wine Festival was still extremely lively, and the entire Castle Forge Forge fell into a carnival.

Accompanied by Du Randon and the others, Dunn visited the melting furnace, armory, mine, etc. He expressed his approval of the advanced forging technology of the dwarves, and hoped that they would continue to persevere and strive to develop the forging process, using the latest, fastest and most Strong technology to maintain leading position. At the same time, I hope that the dwarf kingdom will maintain a peaceful development path for a hundred years, and then I kindly met with the sober Groka, and highly praised Groka for joining Ellington, and promised that the ally relationship between Ellington and the dwarf kingdom will be unbreakable... ...Wait, it seems to be playing tricks.

During the three-day wine festival, Dunn fully felt the enthusiasm and heartiness of the dwarves, as well as... their enthusiasm for wine.

With the free booze, these guys are like crazy, and they don't drink until they are dazed and unconscious all day long!

Brian and Eberron are like this, so one can imagine what happened to other dwarves.

To Twain's surprise, although the barley baijiu did not participate in the Brewery Festival competition, it was unanimously voted as the joint champion by the dwarves who drank it - maybe it was the result of Twain letting them drink to their heart's content?

The good news is that what Tang En and Durandon talked about was passed in the king's council very casually - the members of the council were all drunk and didn't remember what they heard, and then It passed unanimously.

"The development of the Black Swamp, the agreement to recruit dwarven employees, and the agreement on the ore trade have all been passed?"

After listening to Tang En's words, Fiona was in disbelief. If these matters were discussed in the aristocratic council, it would probably not be possible to discuss one, two, three in ten and a half months!

"Yes, if there are no accidents, I should sign an agreement with Durandon when I go back later. I plan to take you there with me. You are good at this."

"Take me there?"

Fiona said in surprise: "Then do I need to change my clothes? Durandon is the king of the dwarves, right? Shouldn't he be dressed more solemnly when meeting the king?"

solemn……

Tang En thought about Durandon for a while, and then said earnestly: "That's good, really, believe me, don't have any fantasies about Durandon, or your fantasies will be shattered..."

"Okay then, I'm going to draft an agreement now."

Fiona went to the study happily. This was the first time Tang En took her out, and it was to meet such an important person. She felt that she was taken seriously, so she was very happy.

Fiona didn't understand why Tang En said that when she saw Durandon, because when she saw Durandon, her illusion about the dwarf king was completely shattered...

This... guy is the king of the dwarf kingdom, Durandon?

Even after seeing Durandon, Fiona still wondered if Dunn was playing tricks on her, because no matter how you looked at it, Durandon was no different from those dwarves next to him, no, even more ordinary.

"Your Majesty Durandon, this is the agreement I drafted. Please read it over. If you don't have any comments, we can start signing."

Fiona handed the agreement to Durandon. Because it was written in Loen language, Durandon could understand it completely.

The agreement drafted by Fiona did not have any particularly harsh conditions. After all, the preferential treatment given by Durandon was too great, so this agreement only clarified the rights obtained by Dunn, and that these rights were granted by the Dwarf Kingdom. .

So after reading it, Du Landon signed his name and stamped it without saying a word.

After signing the agreement, Du Landon complained directly to Twain: "Really, you humans have a lot of things to do, and you need to make an agreement for things that can be settled in one sentence. It's unnecessary."

Tang En smiled slightly: "You should understand that human beings are a complex creature. Unlike you people of the land, human beings often change their original intentions and change themselves due to different environments, so this agreement is to restrain us. And what exists, will not make me self-inflated and arrogant."

"Whatever you want, I still trust you."

Durandon said casually: "The Wine Festival is over today, and Clotho plans to see you again before going back, and his assistants are waiting for you in the reception room."

Tang En and Fiona followed Durandon to the reception room, and Clotho immediately got up and greeted him: "Tang En, my friend, I'm sorry that I'm leaving now. If possible, I really hope that I can go with you. You go to Ellington."

Seeing the expressions of those dwarves changed again, Tang En said with a smile: "If you are visiting, you are welcome anytime, but permanent residence may not be possible."

"Hmph, this group of guys who can't live without me... When will they grow up!"

Cloto sighed, "Even if it's a visit, it's not that easy. It takes a month to go back and forth to your place... Sigh, if only it was as convenient as coming to Fort Hammer."

Durandon laughed and said, "Do you want to repair the subway to Ellington? The amount of work is not ordinary."

"Wait! What did you say? Subway!?"

Tang En was stunned for a moment, another thing that he had never heard of in the game before!

The gnomes of Prandal have actually made the subway out! ?

"Yes," Durandon said carelessly, "Cloteau led his engineers, and our dwarf craftsmen joined forces to connect the two cities in a few months and build a passage. , In their words, that thing is called the underground railway, referred to as the subway, and the speed is very fast, so it is very convenient for them to come to Fort Forgehammer."

"Huh? What a great idea!"

Unexpectedly, Cloto was overjoyed when he heard Durandon's words: "If the subway can reach Ellington, I can go anytime! How about we discuss it?"

Du Landon curled his lips: "Don't talk nonsense, it took so long to dig the tunnel last time, it may take how many years it will take to dig to Ellington this time, maybe by the time we dig it, Mr. Tang En will already be old I can't walk anymore... Uh, please forgive me, the life span of human beings is longer than ours...you know."

Tang En smiled knowingly, and said: "The underground railway is too far away, but the above-ground railway is certainly worth considering. In fact, I think it is really necessary to build an above-ground railway, because ore and asphalt can be transported."

"It's indeed a good idea to use railway transportation," Du Landon was taken aback, "But I'm afraid it's too late, right? After all, the project is quite a lot..."

"There is a solution to this. Don't forget, although dwarves are good at digging tunnels, their efficiency is far inferior to that of earth magic. If Dunn makes a move, or if a few rune dwarves come..."

Durandon suddenly realized, and Clotho was also happy: "If that's the case, then what are we waiting for?"

"Don't worry, before that, I want to solve a communication problem first."

The smiling Tang En suddenly threw out a blockbuster: "I want to build a teleportation array in Fort Forge Hammer and Gear City, and connect with Ellington."

The words fell to the ground, and everyone was shocked!
