After breakfast, Durin took advantage of the girls going out in groups to play and began to ponder what to do next.
First of all, money was still sufficient for now, but what about the future?
Therefore, Durin needed a large piece of land for himself.
Where could he get land?
His land of dragon prosperity, Lublin, could be considered a rearguard, and that wouldn't change after the Dual Mothers acknowledged Durin's chosen status unless he apostatized.
But was that possible? Absolutely not.
So, the question arose, with a sizable rear base, Durin needed more territory—firstly, it should border Lublin.
Secondly, it must have a sea outlet to the south, and Durin planned to snatch a port south of Venice, grabbing a big chunk of meat from Farol's mouth— to accomplish great things, his annual salary was truly not enough.
As for how to get Changtangians merchants to come over, Durin planned to put his face out there.
