Afterwards, the two of them were taken away by the dwarf guards.

······

Palace meeting room.

Dozens of people gathered here, holding documents in their hands and discussing anxiously.

Their topic is whether to accept invitations from international governments.

Just then, a loud noise attracted everyone's attention.

"Damn it! It's been half a month, and you guys are so irreconcilable, haven't you made a decision yet?"

A shirtless dwarf stood on the throne. He slammed the report in his hand onto the table and stepped on it.

This person is the King of the Dwarf Kingdom, Besos Tatabel.

"You are just a blacksmith, what the hell do you know about diplomacy? Sit still!"

An old man was seen holding a report in his left hand and an iron cane in his right hand, knocking hard on the conference table, signaling Bezos to stop talking nonsense.

"It's been half a month, I'm under a lot of pressure, okay!?"

"Shut up, me!"

The old man's voice was very loud, and the conference table made a "clang clang" sound when he knocked on it.

This person, Debon Cayenne, is the imperial master of the Dwarf Kingdom.

"Tsk."

As Debon said, Bezos may be a king, but he really knows nothing about diplomacy.

He became king simply because dwarves were simple and honest and had no ambition to gain power.

It is better to say that they are honest and straightforward in character. They speak directly to their own people and yell and scold when necessary.

Even the king, in their eyes, is just a neighbor with a bigger house.

At this time, the people gathered in the conference room were divided into two groups, one group agreed to join the international government, and the other group opposed to joining the international government.

It's a fifty-fifty split.

"Old man Debang, I agree to join. We must understand that if we fall behind, we will be beaten."

"You bespectacled boy, don't think you can pretend to be well-read just by wearing glasses! All the glue in your brain has spilled out!"

The flat-headed dwarf sitting across from the conference table slammed a thick document on the table and shouted in a hoarse voice:

"They offer such generous treatment, don't you have any concerns?!"

Hearing someone yelling at him, the four-eyed dwarf suddenly became excited. He pushed his glasses and yelled back:

"They all said that the earlier you join, the more benefits you will get. Have you ever mined a mine? Do you understand the principle of first come, first served?"

Hearing the four-eyed dwarf's words, the flat-headed dwarf's teeth chattered in anger.

Because he understood what the four-eyed dwarf said.

The Dwarf Kingdom is an underground city. In the eyes of the dwarves, mining is just like shopping on Taobao.

As long as you dig out a rare ore or steel, you can create a magical weapon that will go down in history.

In the Dwarf Kingdom, there is no rule to hand in collected items. They have always adhered to the principle of first come, first served, which has been maintained to this day.

As expected, the flat-headed dwarf had nothing to say after the four-eyed dwarf's rebuttal.

"Moreover, the Magic Dynasty has taken the lead in joining the international government. Once this news spreads, other countries will surely follow suit. We won't even be able to drink soup after this!"

After hearing the four-eyed dwarf's words, everyone present fell silent.

The Magic Dynasty, with a national strength enough to rival the Tenedi Empire, is a powerful magical nation with the Flame Saint in charge.

Its influence is so huge that, generally speaking, with just one word from it, the magic level of other countries can even regress twenty years.

"It seems that we have no choice..." Bond clenched his iron crutch and said helplessly.

The conditions offered by international governments are really very tempting.

For example, schools were set up in the Dwarf Kingdom, and foreign envoys were sent to give lectures so that children could learn foreign culture and knowledge and broaden their horizons.

The goal of the international government is to protect all human races, and a large number of weapons and equipment will need to be customized at that time. They can give 70% of the order share to the Dwarf Kingdom.

This is a big business. According to the needs of international governments, just 70% of the order share is enough to keep all the workshops in the Dwarf Kingdom running around the clock.

Although breach of contract would incur a lot of compensation, according to the analysis of the dwarf accountant, this order was as good as it could be, and it just matched the maximum production capacity of the Dwarf Kingdom.

This is a business that is sure to make money.

The most important thing is that once the country is invaded by the outside world, the international government guarantees that it will give priority to sending military support in the order of joining.

These are only some of the conditions put forward by international governments. Who wouldn’t be confused after hearing this?

The opposition also knows that the conditions are very tempting, but they always feel that there is a trap in it, but they just can't put it into words.

There was a loud "clang" sound.

Just as everyone was silent, the door of the conference room was roughly pushed open.

Three people appeared behind the door.

These three are diplomats from an international government whose purpose is to win over the Dwarven Kingdom.

It was obvious that the person who pushed open the door was a strong man with a big scar on his chest, about two meters tall, and who looked very capable of fighting.

This man, Qian Kun, is a mid-level imperial domain expert in boxing.

"Dwarf King! It's been half a month. Are you kidding us? Huh?"

Qiankun's voice was very loud, and all the dwarves present felt a sense of pressure.

"No rudeness."

A hand wearing a white glove stretched out and stood in front of Qiankun.

A human man wearing a black tuxedo and a monocle stood up and bowed politely to the dwarves.

"I'm very sorry. Qiankun has a straightforward personality and means no harm. Please forgive me."

This person is codenamed Rich Businessman and is an international government diplomat.

Seeing this person appear, the four-eyed dwarf ran up to him attentively and said flatteringly:

"It's okay, it's okay. We dwarves like straightforward people."

The four-eyed dwarf invited them to the conference table and brought them stools.

"We'll make a decision soon, soon, soon."

"Oh, I think you are wasting our time on purpose."

Another man next to the rich businessman kicked the stool away, without caring that this was in front of the Dwarf King.

This man, Corning, was a thin-faced magician wearing a purple cloak and holding a staff.

Although this man was very rude, many dwarves silently clenched their fists, but they could do nothing about him.

After all, he was also a member sent by the international government.

"Kang Ning, don't be so presumptuous."

Just like one plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop, the rich businessman apologized to the dwarf king again.

"As my partner said, you guys did take quite a while to discuss this. Even the Sorcerer Dynasty only took three days to make a decision."

The rich businessman cleared his throat and continued:

"Five times the time and generous treatment are enough to prove our sincerity. Since you still can't make a decision, allow us to leave now."

After saying that, the rich businessman walked towards the door without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Qiankun and Kangning, who came with him, both showed surprised expressions.

The task given to them was to win over the Dwarf Kingdom at all costs.

The two of them couldn't figure out what the rich businessman was up to.

Seeing them heading toward the door, the dwarves panicked, especially those who supported them.

They all looked at the Dwarf King, Bezos, hoping that he could make the right judgment.

Bezos clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and recalled the teachings passed down by his ancestors.

"As a king, one decision can determine the life or death of the dwarven kingdom."

"Dwarves are simple and honest, and cannot match the cunning of humans. If one person cannot defeat them, then call for help and discuss together."

“If a decision makes you determined, trust your feelings and stick to it.”

Although the conditions offered by the international government were very generous and it was obviously a no-brainer choice, Bezos always felt a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, the conference room was very quiet.

Hearing the footsteps of the international government people walking out step by step, the Dwarf King frowned and beads of sweat appeared on his cheeks.

The time for decision-making was getting shorter and shorter, and he was under a lot of pressure.

Seeing that Bezos was slow to make a decision, the other dwarves clenched their fists, their palms sweating.

It was only two seconds, but to Bezos, it seemed like ten minutes had passed.

On one hand, there are generous treatment and backing, and on the other hand, the country is stagnant.

Bezos also knew that if he did not keep up with this trend, the Dwarf Kingdom would lag behind other countries internationally.

If other countries become rich and powerful and their people are happy with the help of international governments, how should I, as a king, apologize?

The Dwarf Kingdom is not rich and powerful, and has not seen any reform or development for thousands of years.

The main reason is that dwarves are simple in nature and have no ambition to seize the territory and resources of other countries.

Of course, other countries have no way to wage war against the Dwarf Kingdom.

This is an underground city. The dwarves are good at mining and the tunnels here are intricate.

This naturally formed a defensive barrier, and outsiders who were unfamiliar with the terrain could not attack the Dwarf Kingdom at all.

It can be said that it is a city that is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

For the dwarves, as long as they are self-sufficient and can argue with their neighbors about ironwork, they are satisfied.

But now, times are changing.

With the whole world developing rapidly, if the Dwarf Kingdom is left behind, Bezos cannot guarantee whether the cities of the Dwarf Kingdom can continue to protect its people.

As time passed, the pressure on Bezos was like a mountain pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

He clenched his fists and decided to take a gamble for the future of his people.

"Wait!"

Hearing Bezos' voice, the wealthy businessman who was just about to step out of the door smiled sinisterly and thought to himself: "It's done."

Seeing this scene, the two people around him instantly understood the rich businessman's behavior.

This is playing hard to get!

Wonderful!

The rich businessman turned around and looked at Bezos, and just when he was about to say something.

A green ball suddenly rose from the glass on the right side of the conference room, and red light flickered around the glass, which looked very urgent.

This glass is the same as the one in the Imperial Communications Room and is capable of long-distance video calls.

Seeing the three big words "Grum" displayed on it, the dwarf national master Bond shouted:

"It's an emergency call from His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Of course, Bezos also understood this. He said to the rich businessman with a serious expression:

"Wait a minute, I'll take a call first."

Seeing this scene, the rich businessman was stunned and complained:

"Ah this..."
