Chapter 2715: Chapter 1170: Enticement by Profits_3

The lower half is a pair of loose, baggy pants of the same color, paired with bright green pointed shoes, the tips curling up in a unique design and complemented by a thick head of auburn hair, truly unforgettable.

"The Travel Cloth made by Master Nicole is a blessing to travelers and mountain races alike, being both sturdy and durable. This fabric is now the most popular among us." Robek of Hill Voice focused on different aspects than the Dwarf Spokesman.

"Thank you for your recognition." Nicole responded graciously, "The textile industry in Darama is just in its infancy, with huge room for improvement.

However, my capabilities in mechanical manufacturing are very limited and I’ve reached a bottleneck; I can’t further improve the textile machine.

Lord Gaven mentioned that your gnomes are the most skilled inventors in this world, and I wonder if a breakthrough can be found among you."

The Pike Elf Girl’s sweet words seemed to charm the gnomes present, even subtly praising Gaven, boosting his favorability among them.

Of course, what she said was also the truth.

Her modification of the textile tools had indeed reached a limit—a limit not just of her abilities but of the entire industrial system of Darama.

To advance further would require more than individual leadership; it requires a group—a group skilled in invention and creation to lead the entire industry forward.

And the Dwarf Inventors were recommended by Gaven as one of the solutions for Nicole.

Rondel couldn’t help but exclaim, "Lord Conqueror, does this mean you’re willing to share Darama’s latest textile technology with us?"

To gnomes, invention and creation are the most precious treasures; even among gnomes, it’s difficult to share knowledge and technology.

Let alone with other races, especially when new textile technology is one of the fundamentals of Darama.

"Technology can only innovate through exchange; stagnation results in massive waste of manpower and resources."

Gaven replied, "As long as you sign a confidentiality agreement, not only will Darama’s textile technology be shared, but also other technologies from my domain.

In exchange, I will have prioritized application rights to technologies you develop based on this foundation.

However, this isn’t for free; I will pay a corresponding fee based on circumstances.

Details will be negotiated with the Invention Committee to ensure that you receive matching research and invention costs, enabling sustained investment in new research and inventions."

"If Lord Conqueror truly accomplishes this, it will certainly be a boon for all inventors." The Dwarf Spokesman’s words were praiseworthy but not entirely optimistic.

Many things are deeply ingrained, woven into life and customs, making it unlikely for major changes to occur due to a few words.

Gaven seemed to see through the Dwarf Spokesman’s true thoughts and didn’t argue much, continuing, "Laying paths is just the first step; the second step is investing here to build factories, constructing textile and clothing factories as needed, striving to boost the local economy, giving residents a better life."

Many things can be empty with mere words, especially in mundane affairs.

Instead of grand rhetoric, it’s better to guide with tangible benefits.

Once people see actual advantages, they will naturally follow suit; this is fully utilizing the draw of profit.

This is based on his three years of experience.

Don’t be fooled by appearances of open-mindedness and wisdom.

In fact, it’s just a façade.

Due to low education levels, most intelligent beings are ignorant and unknowing, often ineffective even with hands-on teaching.

He wants to usher in an industrial era but lacks a talent foundation.

This is why he urgently wants to build his own Arcane Academy; talent reserve is the most pressing issue.

"We will consider carefully."

The two rulers from Samis Hills gave an ambiguous reply.

The Crownbearers of Veldas Forest might be the hardest to convince, but once persuaded, they are most likely to shift. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Conversely, the Demi-Humans and Gnomes of Samis Hills are the easiest to convince, yet with minimal shifts, most prone to change.

They will sway like reeds in the wind, changing with the situation of the Thacel Kingdom.

This is determined by their survival tactics.

This requires economic, cultural, military infiltration and change, which falls to Zalanda’s tasks.

Gaven merely sets the path for her.

There’s no wall unbreachable by the wind, especially in this mundane diplomatic mission, attracting much attention.

Among the keenest are the noble warlords of the Thacel Kingdom.

Zaze Sibo.

The capital of the Thacel Kingdom, the palace council hall was crowded, noisy like a morning market.

"I’ve said countless times, Zalanda is an aberration, she cannot be in alignment with us, we should not have tolerated her existence from the beginning. We should have eradicated her thoroughly when she was still unstable."

"You had all the good words, but every time when it came to sending troops, you hesitated for various excuses, like your domain being harassed by the Monster Tribe or poor harvests leading to no food or money, allowing her to grow to this extent. Your responsibility isn’t much less than ours!"

"Who could have imagined a nameless rural knight could develop to this extent in such a short time?"
