Chapter 190: Recruiting the Gnomes!

“I discovered the mine myself, so I have no reason to share the profits with you, right?”

Lorne was not in a hurry to agree. At this moment, he had to ask for more benefits. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be foolish to give others a bigger share?

“Of course there’s a reason!”

Hearing that Lorne was the one who had discovered the mineral vein, Tully was even more excited. “Adventurer, if you cooperate with us, our Gnome Mineral Company will provide all the equipment needed to mine the vein. Don’t underestimate the logistical scale here.”

“In order to mine an ore vein, apart from having your own mining workers, you also need to deal with important matters such as transportation, security, and logistics.”

“Especially security. I believe you know that there are terrifying monsters around the high-level mine. To mine in such an area, we need to pay attention to security. If the defense is not in time, those high-level mining workers might be destroyed overnight.”

“This will definitely be a huge loss for you.”

“In addition, there are many changes in the direction of the underground mine. During the mining process, we need to keep surveying to ensure that the mining direction is correct.”

“There’s also the separation of the ores. The resources in any mine are different. If we work hard, the value of the mine can be maximized.”

“Just dealing with these matters, you need to invest at least five complete Dragon Crystals to complete it. Moreover, the scale of the mining team will not be too large, only about a dozen or so mining workers. This efficiency is too low. It’s far inferior to the benefits of our cooperation in mining.”

After explaining a pile of things, Tully took out the blueprint of the Gnome Mineral Company’s construction team and said, “Look, our company’s mining team is definitely the top in the world. Moreover, we will decide to send our team according to the quality of the mineral vein. If it’s a high-level mineral vein, we will send a high-level mining team and provide protection the entire time. Any problems that happen during the cooperation will be borne by us.”

“What about the revenue split?”

Lorne was also worried about the monsters in the Lake of Death. If there was a conflict when mining, as the mine owner, he could not deal with those terrifying high-level monsters.

“You can choose it yourself.”

“From 10% to 90%, you can choose whatever you want. The higher the percentage you give us, the higher our efficiency and involvement. You should understand that.”

“Of course.” Lorne nodded.

The more they earned, the harder they would work. This was common around the world.

As for which option to choose?

Lorne had a plan.

“Manager Tully, I can take just 50% of the profits, but I have a request.”

“What request?”

Tully suppressed the excitement in his heart and calmly asked, “As a businessman, how can I not know that the price is equivalent to the benefits?”

This adventurer definitely had extraordinary conditions.

“In the future, I will build my territory. I want you and all the gnomes in your Gnome Mineral Company to join me!”

“What? You want us to betray the company?!”

Tully thought he had misheard. Did this young man not know that nearly 50% of the gnomes were members of the Gnome Mineral Company? It was the greatest symbol of the Gnome Kingdom. Although it was not involved in political matters, it had such a noble status.

However, a human like him actually wanted them to leave?

What a joke.

“It’s not betrayal, it’s choosing a better future,” Lorne said.

“Mr. Tyrant, I don’t understand where your confidence comes from. I also don’t know what future you can give us. I’m sorry.”

“What if I can let you research the Kingdom of the Dragon?”

Before Tully could respond, Lorne placed a portion of the construction map of the Cold Desolate Dragon City in front of him.

Then, Tully’s expression changed.

“This…”

“How is this possible!”

“Why, why do you have the blueprint for the Kingdom of the Dragon! This is an incredible building personally designed by the first Dragon God!”

Tully’s voice was trembling. Although he only glanced at the blueprint, he could still see the marvel of it.

This map was only the tip of the iceberg of the entire Kingdom of the Dragon, but it contained an extremely profound layout and design concept.

To the gnomes, the Kingdom of the Dragon was a legend and the most revered divine item in their history!

In the capital of the Gnome Kingdom, there were a few memory blueprints regarding the Kingdom of the Dragon. The mysteries within made the wise ones of the entire Gnome Kingdom study them for thousands of years. Even until today, they could still benefit from them. From this, it was obvious what the Kingdom of the Dragon meant to the gnomes.

“If you are willing to join my territory, you will see the complete blueprint. Moreover, you can study it for as long as you want.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

Lorne could not understand it himself. He had to hand it to the architects in the future, so it was completely feasible to use it to rope in talents.

Hearing this, Tully was indeed tempted. Even the way he looked at Lorne changed greatly.

Although this adventurer was so young, he could obtain the recognition of the Dragon God and had a complete map of the Dragon Kingdom. His future was definitely filled with infinite possibilities.

Following him might really be a good future!

Thinking of this, Tully nodded and said, “Alright, I accept your invitation. If there really comes a day, I’m willing to join your territory and hope that you can follow our agreement today.”

“Of course.”

At this point, the two officially reached an agreement.

Then, they began to discuss some details, such as the requirements for mining, the location, and other things to take note of.

Most importantly, there were too many mines.

Lorne spent more time thinking about this. He did not hand over all the coordinates of the various mines he found. He only planned to let the Gnome Mineral Company help him mine a portion of them.

This number accounted for about one-fifth of the total coordinates.

There were exactly a hundred coordinates.

However, most of them were ordinary ores. There were only 16 medium-level and four high-level ore mines.

Lorne did not want to give too many benefits to the Gnome Mineral Company. He only needed to use this money to repair the Cold Desolate Dragon City and then let Tully bring others to join the Cold Desolate Dragon City. In this way, he would directly have his own mining team. Moreover, the gnomes had the ability to design powerful defensive equipment that could supplement the lack of weapons in the Dragon City.
