In response to Nili's idea, Chen Yu made it clear that as long as the pay was right, he would do more than just dig a tunnel—he'd dig through the entire Dark Land if they wanted.
After some negotiation, they reached a preliminary agreement. The Belmont family would provide funding and rare materials as payment, while the Slime Kingdom would supply Slime Engineers to jointly develop an exploratory tunnel deep into Gor.
As for the secret of the Stone Golem Army, there was no point in keeping it under wraps. After all, not even the Stone Race themselves knew what it was. They might as well offer it up as a sign of "good faith" for their cooperation.
And Chen Yu's own idea was quite simple.
He wanted to use this opportunity to gradually extend the Slime Kingdom's influence into the Dark Land, slowly incorporating this vast and mysterious world into the Kingdom's future territory.
Now that things with the Stone Race were mostly settled, the next on the list… were the Blood Race.
