Chapter 409: The Chip in the Belly
Chapter 403 – Chips in the Belly
Although his heart is moved, but for the underground world in the plan, Owen does not intend to go through the war this way, in contrast, he prefers to go through the trade, in order to solve by peaceful means.
Jianghu is not fighting and killing, farming is the same, there is no one lord all rely on war to maintain the development of the territory.
Overbearing push look cool, actually belongs to the way to hurt the enemy a thousand self-loss of eight hundred, even if Owen hanging can reduce the loss, can fight down the same need for time and energy to govern, can not fight down to put it, then what is the significance of him waging war.
In addition, Owen actually does not have such a big ambition, even if he gave him an empire, but also to the family several women to manage, counting on him to move is impossible, so the territory is perennial not foreign expansion.
This kind of mentality makes it normal for Owen to choose to obtain resources by way of trade.
Since he decided to take the trade route, the dungeon Owen was building now would play a huge role.
As long as this dungeon was strong enough, it could completely serve as a trading center between the territory and the underground world.
As for what to trade with the underground world, it was simple.
Don’t look at the fact that the underground world has rich resources, and even because of the depth and level, the total area is not lower than or even greater than the surface world, but ninety percent of the underground world is actually not suitable for survival.
These places were either occupied by powerful magical creatures or extremely harsh environments, and only very few underground spaces had the basis for survival, namely air, plants and water.
But limited by the area and the unique environment of the underground, even if the conditions are good, in many aspects will certainly be greatly affected, at least large-scale planting and breeding is not feasible, at best, to feed a city.
As for technological production, playing with steam industry and firearms in the underground world is a death wish, so handicrafts and cold weapons are the mainstay.
Under this circumstance, the most demanded goods in the underground city are never rare resources and treasures, but food, salt, cloth and other living materials, followed by luxury goods.
The former is easy to understand, there can’t be only one city lord in a dungeon, people eat horses and chew, the demand for food is definitely not small.
As for the strong demand for luxury goods, it was because many dungeons still retained the slavery system and believed in the survival of the fittest, so the higher up the hierarchy, the more centralized the power and resources were, and in a situation where there was no worry about food and clothing, the demand for luxury goods from those in power would naturally not be low.
It just so happens that the territories have excess production capacity, which can be used to exchange for the precious resources of the underground world, even if the territories have a doorway to the otherworldly Qunshan, they won’t mind having a lot of precious resources in their hands.
Only the prerequisite is that Owen’s ogre avatar must have enough power, not only personal strength, but also dungeon power, only the two together can stand firm in the underground world and keep the volume of trade that will only get bigger and bigger in the future.
Thinking of this, Owen is ready to use part of the progress value for the construction of the dungeon, at the moment, it is obvious that the first and second-order soldiers alone are far from enough.
The Ogre Dungeon has already reached a small scale, the industrious cavemen built a mushroom garden and a large snail farm, which can provide a large amount of cheap food, the blacksmith store, the tavern and the market, the successive construction and improvement of these buildings, also brought a stable source of customers and income.
But it is not enough, these are only small, completely unable to satisfy Owen’s needs, so a migration group composed of magical creatures quietly and quietly appeared in the ogre dungeon not far away. Although the ogre dungeon in Owen’s view is simple and incomparable, but in the eyes of Silo is her heart and soul, even if it is through the pro-pole of the sky, that is also the result of their own efforts, and you think that anyone who has this kind of capacity, able to fit down an ogre, she is not practiced, people are split.
Just as Silhouette was enjoying the joy of her daily patrol of the dungeon, she suddenly saw the goblin in charge of the peripheral patrol fleeing back in a sorry state, she immediately knew that it was not good, and was about to make a response, when she realized that a group of terrifying magical creatures were pouring in from the entrance.
“Eye Demons, Medusa, Minotaurs!” Silhouette was stunned on the spot, even in the underground world, these three kinds of monsters belong to the very difficult kind, such a group is enough to destroy quite a few smaller dungeons, so she thought it was an army sent by that powerful dungeon, and couldn’t help but raise the idea of surrendering in her heart.
This kind of annexation in the underground world belongs to the norm, big fish eat small fish is very normal, but this time, can only say that reality is more magical than imagination, because the other party is not the enemy.
“We revere the great Dragon Slayer, His Excellency the Ogre King who inspires awe, and are willing to join the Ogre Dungeon to serve the City Lord, please take us to pay our respects to the City Lord.” The leader of this group of demons was a tall and very rare Medusa Queen, at this moment she looked down at Silhouette, those icy cold eyes under the surround of her snake hair staring at her, and said with an expressionless face.
Although under the other party’s gaze, it felt just like a mouse being stared at by a snake, but Silhouette still couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth when she sniffed, thinking that acting was so perfunctory, really thinking that she was a fool.
At this time, she still does not know that this group of magical creatures in all likelihood is related to her family’s ogre, but since the other party wants to act, she can only follow and cooperate, really picking out the obvious, at the moment these magical creatures she can’t beat, so bring this group of magical creatures to the council hall.
Owen wearing an apron is trying the thirteenth way to make dragon bone, but the color of the soup is getting weirder and weirder, not to mention the smell, not to mention drinking it, otherwise Silhouette, even if she no longer likes to patrol her own dungeon, she can’t sneak around all day, not for fear of being dragged to try it, and the psychological shadow caused by the last time the two eggs and one fishy has not dissipated yet.
After seeing the arrival of the magical creatures, Owen pretended to pacify a few sentences, and then let them each find a place to live, and these magical creatures also obediently separated from each other, very peacefully constructed a building with various characteristics.
The Silhouette on the side witnessed the whole thing, but this time she didn’t even have the idea to ask, only a mouth full of old grooves with no place to spit.
This damned ogre has something to hide from her even if, but at least with a little heart, so perfunctory, on her acting skills is also a test.
And this bastard hides too deep, but she does not panic, because she is about to give birth, as long as the child in the hands, she has the rightful heir in the hands, the initiative is in her.
As for the dream of becoming the Drow’s main mother, although Silhouette still hadn’t given up, she knew how hard it was to realize it if she thought about it, so she waited first until she found the other party’s breakthrough.
So passive, Siluo is also no way, because she so far even this ogre’s true identity, or even what the thing is do not know, even if there are more calculations and how, the same as scratching the itch, simply can not catch the focus.
Now Siluo’s only bargaining chip is the child in her stomach, don’t care if it’s the other party’s own child, or some kind of experimental product, in any case, it must be very important to the other party.
As long as this ogre still valued its own offspring, she had a chance to turn the tide, so Siluo did not move, resting on her laurels until that day came.
