Jose and Ergou discussed for a long time, discussing how to use the art of language to brainwash recruits and enhance loyalty, using slogans, sense of ceremony, sense of honor, etc., and discussing and improving some details, finally came to the final plan.
"Master, there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
"etc."
Jose stared at his first dependent.
The first time represents an unprecedented experience, the starting point from unfamiliarity to familiarity, and the beginning from ignorance to maturity. It is precisely because of the uniqueness and importance of the first time that it is extremely commemorative.
Jose also paid special attention to his first family member.
But for a long time, he found that his subordinate was like a saint, and he had no desires other than completing the tasks he had given him. This was not in line with the nature of creatures seeking profit.
In fact, he could have chosen to probe the inner world of his dependents through the contract.
But Jose didn't want to do this, not because of moral constraints. He had his own concerns—magic and contracts were too convenient. He worried that he would become dependent on magic and lose the ability to perceive the world through his eyes.
"Ego, what is your wish?"
Yougou didn't expect the master to ask such a question, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Serve the master."
In this regard, Jose couldn't deny it, Ye Gou worked very seriously, and the tasks assigned by him were always overfulfilled in his hands.
"Other than that?"
You Gou lowered his head and thought for a long time, then quietly said: "Become stronger."
I see.
Jose suddenly realized that the thinking of his subordinate was surprisingly consistent with his own, and that his own strength was the root of everything.
In fact, in Jose's heart, wealth, dependents, and residences can be given up when necessary. As long as the strength is still there, he can still obtain the above things in another place.
"Master, I'm very confused, I don't know how to go in the future."
Jose nodded, he could understand Ergo's thoughts, because he had similar troubles.
Dragon vein warlocks are the same as dragons, their magic power also increases with age, and they will naturally awaken new magic and become more powerful, but the gift of ancestors has a limit.
Many warlocks with foresight and resources will practice another profession as a path after the bloodline has come to an end. Among them, Mages are the most popular and most promising path.
Jose intends to go down this road too.
But a spellcaster is not a warrior who has a chance if he can eat enough. Wealth, talent, teachers, and time investment are all indispensable.
"Don't worry, my servant, I assure you, in a few years, all your worries will no longer exist," he said, waving his paws to indicate that the family members can leave.
Obtaining the promise, You Gou frowned, bowed respectfully, and retreated.
the next day.
According to the Red Dragon's order, the five kobold tribes sent a total of 222 young warriors. The warriors also brought along the long-term accumulated ore ingots of each tribe, three iron mines and one copper mine.
As for the gold mine, the output of this thing is very small, and the gold presented by Hasa Bloodpaw is already all.
Soda specially vacated the abandoned No. 4 living area, and brought the new fighters to train in the mine, while Ergo commanded the clansmen to move the metal ingots into the warehouse.
Jose saw the metal mountains built up to the top of the cave through Ergou's eyes, and he was happy but also troubled by it.
Copper ingots and iron ingots are very valuable because they have a wide range of uses and can be used to mint coins and make weapons and armor. If they have been lying in the warehouse, then these metal ingots are worthless.
And the casting process of the kobolds... It's really horrible. It's just making molds, pouring molten iron, and shaping and grinding over and over again.
This is not possible, he intends to launch an attack on the mosskin gnolls at the end of winter when the snow has not yet melted and the food is scarce and hungry.
The Gnoll had just survived the winter, and it was the time when his body was weakest, and the Kobold had enough food, and after several months of combat training, Jose couldn't think of a reason to lose, so he planned to use this battle as a test The test of dependents.
"To convert these iron ingots into real combat power, I need a group of excellent blacksmiths." Jose squeezed his chin for a while and decided to ask the wild boar merchant if there was any way.
He connected with the wild boar merchant through the family contract, and found that he had left the Harpy tribe and was on his way back to the tribe.
"Huh? Are you in good health? You left so soon?"
The voice of the red dragon immediately came to mind, and the wild boar merchant—Hulk was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted: "Master? A nightmare!"
Jose sensed the fear transmitted by the telepathic connection. It seemed that the wild boar had been psychologically shadowed by the harpies.
What a sad story~.
He didn't know how to comfort this traumatized family member, so he had to change the subject: "Hulk, do you know where you can hire excellent blacksmiths?"
Hulk said without hesitation: "In Sunsail Port, as long as the price is right, even a master dwarf blacksmith can be hired."
"Master Dwarf, emmm..., I have to say, very tempting."
Jose thought about it for a while, but gave up this tempting idea. On the one hand, the price of dwarves is too high and their status is too high to be kidnapped.
On the other hand, it's not about making magic weapons, a better human blacksmith can meet the demand.
"I don't need a dwarf master. I just want to make some weapons and armor for the kobold family. A blacksmith above the average level is enough. Do you have any good recommendations?"
"Well, let me think about it," the wild boar merchant paused, "Yes, there is a black-hoofed tauren tribe on the edge of the Triangle Plain, and there is a black-hoofed tauren tribe in the black-hoofed tauren tribe. The dwarf masters serve as apprentices, return to the tribe and teach the clansmen to forge iron, so as to make a living on the grassland, they have a good reputation."
Jose recalled the information about the Tauren. The Tauren is an ancient nomadic people who still retain the ancient customs of totem worship. All along, the overall impression of the Tauren to the outside world is that they are powerful, honest and honest.
Of course, the racial impression represents the overall image, but the individual... there are all kinds of strange things.
There was once a tauren adventurer who asked his employer for a large salary advance in the name of selling food for the tribe. With the good performance in the early stage and the honest and honest reputation of the tauren, some people really believed him. Niu never returned in the name of sending money.
After all, this kind of bad tauren is only a minority, and the tauren race as a whole is still good.
"Okay, these are the tauren, and I will leave the hiring to you."
"Hey?! Wait! Master! According to the habit of the great red dragon, shouldn't you go to the door and catch them directly?!"
Jose: ...
In fact, the meaning of the wild boar family members is: according to the habit of the giant dragon family who loves money as much as their lives, shouldn't they hit the door, directly kidnap the ticket, imprison the PLAY, and squeeze them in all kinds of ways!
"My servant, you have just joined and you don't know me very well. I am very different from ordinary red dragons. I don't mind spending a little money to achieve my goal, but if someone dares to play tricks on me …”
The red dragon's tone gradually became low, and the wild boar merchant shuddered.
"You will get what you want, I promise you."
