Zoltan's residence is on the second floor of Lava Fort.

The journey from the fourth floor to the second floor is not short. As we walked up, Rennes and the extreme warriors became the focus of the dwarves. After finally reaching Zoltan's home, closing the door, and blocking the neighbors' gazes, Zoltan breathed a sigh of relief.

Renn looked around and Zoltan's residence was spacious and more than enough for dwarves to live in, but after rushing in with twenty-four extreme warriors, it seemed a little crowded.

"You are waiting outside." Rennes ordered.

He followed Zoltan into the house. The layout of the room was almost the same as that of the Basil Hotel in Longshande. It was simple and low-key. Only Zoltan lived in the huge house alone. On both sides were alchemy rooms and mechanical workshops, which were cleaned up very clean.

This reminded Renn of the days he spent at the Basil Hotel a few years ago, and suddenly missed them quite a lot.

"Come and sit down."

Zoltan greeted with a smile.

There was actually a counter in the room, which was similar to the Basil Hotel, with tall wooden wine barrels built on the wall behind the counter.

The eyes of full vision penetrated the barrel and found that it was filled with wine.

"Are these wines you made by yourself?" Rennes said in surprise.

"Of course." Zoltan opened the valve of the barrel and quickly poured out two large glasses of wine, pushed one of them in front of Rennes, and smiled: "This is the purest lava castle stout beer, brewed from the best rye, you can try it."

Renn smiled knowingly.

On the first day, I went to the Basil Hotel and bought a glass of beer from Zoltan with a copper lisso. I also asked him if it was real wine, but I only got a dry laugh.

The two picked up their wine glasses, touched them lightly, and then took a big sip.

With a few gurgles, the wine glass in Renn saw the bottom. He put down the glass, burped comfortably, and exclaimed: "It is worthy of being the best tan beer in the world, and it is much better than the fake wine you sold to me."

"Hahaha……"

Zoltan laughed loudly, laughed all the wine on his beard and asked happily, "Another glass?"

"No need." Renn shook his head. Now is not the time to drink happily.

Seeing that his face was serious, the dwarf put down his wine glass.

Renn took the initiative to tell the content of his discussion with the three dwarf kings just now. These are the contents that only the top of the Dwarf Kingdom knew. Zoltan just arrived at the Legend and his status in the clan was not high enough. If it weren't for being friends with Renn, he wouldn't even be qualified to participate in this matter.

However, Zoltan must know more as a dwarf than outsiders, and perhaps he can get useful information from him.

That's why Renne didn't make a decision immediately.

"Zoltan," Renn observed that the dwarf's emotional changes were very powerful, and whispered: "We are friends, and we will not make you embarrassed, nor will we ask you to betray the Lava Castle Kingdom. If you can't say something, you can keep silent."

Zoltan nodded and shook his head again.

"I couldn't get in touch with the top secrets of the kingdom, and there was nothing to be a taboo. If I was afraid that I would leak the secret, His Majesty Megner would not allow you to contact me privately." The dwarf shook his head, and the red cockscomb hairstyle on his head swayed left and right, looking a little funny. "I'm still considering the conditions proposed by the three kings."

"What result did you think of?" Renn asked.

"Not yet." Zoltan shrugged and asked curiously: "Will you accept setting up a dwarf district in Gotham City?"

Renn shook his head: "If the dwarf wants to be a legal resident, of course I will not refuse, but I will never allow the dwarf to have power outside the law, and there is no room for negotiation."

Don’t even think about extraterritorial legal power.

Once this head is opened, it will be difficult to take it back in the future.

What if the elves want to do too? What should we do if the elves and dwarves clash, fight in their own city and violate the law and discipline?

It can be foreseen that in the future, the residents of Gotham City will inevitably be dominated by humans. How will humans view the privileges of dwarves? The seeds of racial division were planted from the beginning, and the city will inevitably be unable to go far. Therefore, it must be strangled in the bud at the beginning.

In short, Gotham City does not allow such awesome things as extraterritorial legal power to exist!

There can only be one voice and one will in the whole city.

That's my voice, my voice!

"I knew that you would not agree with your personality." Zoltan sighed, "If you don't accept this condition, it may be difficult to reach an agreement with the three kings."

"Why?" Renne's eyes flashed.

Zoltan did not explain immediately, but asked, "Ren, what is the strongest feeling you felt along the way?"

Renne thought for a while and replied: "Crowd."

A large number of dwarves make the lava castle very crowded.

The underground fortress is generally divided into ten floors, and the top five floors are residential areas. Each floor is composed of multiple huge caves, and it is always excavated and expanded, but it is still not enough. Each cave, every street, and every stone floor is filled with dwarves.

Especially the third and second floors, the population density reminds Rennes of the railway stations in first-tier cities in his previous life.

As he and the extreme warrior passed by, the onlookers blocked the streets.

If King Megner had not sent a guard to open the way, he might have only walked halfway and even been blocked and turned around.

Rennes had heard of this from Blamet before.

As I saw with my own eyes today, the number of dwarves that the fortress can bear has reached its limit. The lifespan of ordinary dwarves reaches four hundred years, which in turn has increased the pressure of population explosion. If they cannot expand externally and obtain territorial resources, a terrible disaster will sooner or later occur.

"You can see it."

Zoltan sighed, with a sad face and said heavily: "The population of Lava Fort has exceeded 600,000, exceeding the peak of the Third Era, and it is growing every year."

"Since more than a hundred years ago, many newly born tribe members have not received training and lack weapons and equipment. No matter how many people are, they are useless, but they are dragged down."

"The most terrifying thing is that in a few years, you may not even have enough food."

"The four layers under the lava fort have been expanding, all of which are full of mushrooms and rye, but they still cannot keep up with the growth rate of population. There are too many tribesmen who need to be fed."

“The situation at the high mountains and Dufeng is similar.”

"Several Majesties once proposed to move some of their tribe members to the Mirsin Palace and Jiufeng Valley, but the area of ​​the two underground fortresses was originally relatively small, far less than that of the three kingdoms, and they could not accept many tribe members. Moreover, the two kings were also wary and were unwilling to accept too many people..."

"If there is no solution, the three dwarf kingdoms are likely to collapse."

"This is the most troublesome problem for the three kings at present, but the lives of the tribesmen are too comfortable, there is no crisis, and they keep giving birth, alas..."

Zoltan was worried and poured half a glass of dark beer in one breath.

He was about to continue speaking, but when he saw Renn's expression of wanting to speak but stopped, he asked, "What do you want to say?"

You need a family planning policy.

Renn answered in his heart, but did not say it out.

Family planning is obviously not feasible among dwarves. The dwarf king does not have such great courage and determination, nor does he have such strong ability to implement it. Considering that the people's resistance may threaten their royal power, the kings will never adopt it.

Moreover, the dwarves' crisis may be their own opportunity, so there is no need to give them any advice.

"Nothing." Renn shook his head.

Zoltan pressed his doubts and continued: "The solution to the problem of too many people is actually very simple. This is what the ancestors did, that is, to get out of the fortress, obtain more territory, and to raise less people in more tribes."

"But it's not the Third Age now, when dragons and giants declined, and most of the Old Continent were wilderness."

"Now, humans are the masters of the Old Continent."

Ren thought to himself, and he guessed it right, and said, "So the three kings are ready to open up a new continent?"

"It's not about pioneering, it's about regaining." Zoltan corrected: "Half of the New World originally belonged to dwarves, and from the West Coast to the foot of the Chicross Mountains, they all belonged to dwarves' territory."

"hehe……"

Renn smiled unanimously, you can say this to the abyss.

"This is not what I said, but the original words of some dwarves. They have never walked out of the underground fortress in their entire lives, immersed in the glory of their ancestors, and know little about the outside world, and have become out of reality." Zoltan quickly cleared his relationship with this idea.

"Even if the western part of the New World belongs to the dwarf, Shield Island is on the east coast, so it has nothing to do with the dwarfs, right?" Renn made a key loophole.

Zoltan smiled bitterly and could not answer.

"The three dwarf kings also have this idea?" Ren asked again.

"It shouldn't be." Zoltan's tone was not sure, "I have a lot of contact with His Majesty Megner. He is a wise and wise king, and you can rest assured that you are. But I can't guarantee the other two kings."

Renne already understood very well.

In order to solve the population crisis, the three kings set their sights on the New World. Perhaps they had ideas, but they were willing but not lacked. Their plans to build a city on Shield Island gave them the opportunity.

If the new continent can be "recovered", not only will the population crisis be resolved, but the glory of our ancestors can also be restored.

But with the dwarf's own strength, it is definitely not possible.

The total of all dwarves in the mountains of the world is less than three million, and a few million people want to conquer the new world is like shaking a tree.

Even Ren himself just wants to build a city for the time being.

He has no specific plans for how to explore the new continent in the future, but he will not support the empire in any case. Without the support of the entire Orionthir Empire, Gotham City's power is limited to Shield Island and the Aberaken region at most, and it is impossible to expand much territory.

The Dwarf King's intention was obvious. He used Gotham City as a springboard to first gain a foothold in the New World, and then gradually launched the plan to "recover" the New World.

Of course, it is best to directly have part of the dominance of Gotham City.

Of course Rennes won't let the dwarves do what they want.

He would never allow the dwarves to turn against each other. The cities he invested countless funds and strength to build cities in the end were all cheaper than the dwarves. Moreover, he had greater ambitions for the New World. If he agreed to the dwarves' conditions, it would be equivalent to cultivating a strong opponent for himself.

Rennes thought for a while and drew a bottom line in his heart.

Then he asked, "What's the matter with that hill king?"
