"President Theodore, it's not about that matter, but I have other things I want to ask you about!" Nalant shook his head.
As for Jerry and the others, Theodore had already said yesterday that proper arrangements would be made, so he was not worried about this.
"Other things, Nalant, please tell me!" President Theodore nodded after hearing this, put down some pieces of parchment on hand, and waited for Nalant to ask.
"President Theodore, I would like to ask, if I want to sell the North Burley territory I just acquired, do you think other empires will buy it?"
"Also, if it is really sold, at what price should it be sold?"
Narant didn't hesitate and asked his question directly.
But Theodore was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes widened, "Narant, are you planning to sell the territory of North Burley?"
"That's right, President Theodore, this Northern Burley territory is located in the north, separated by many empires, and I can't manage it at all, so I thought it would be better to sell it." Nalant nodded.
In fact, he had already thought about it. After acquiring this territory, he would definitely take action as soon as possible.
Not to mention that he doesn't have that much free time to manage this enclave.
Another important reason is that Narante cannot trust the Nabach Empire.
These guys are bowing their heads now because they are forced by the situation, so they are willing to sit down and negotiate with themselves.
But once the other party is free, they will probably cause trouble for themselves.
Although Nalant felt that the other party would definitely not mobilize troops to attack his Storm Territory again.
But the territory of Beiboli was right next to him. If he took it back at the slightest disagreement, there was nothing he could do about it.
Although Nalant could withstand the attack of Bach's 100,000 coalition troops, it was not able to directly attack the Bach Empire for the time being.
Therefore, this enclave still needs to be sold early, and it is only right to replace it with gold coins or other things that you can control.
Moreover, Nalant had reason to believe that Duke Michel might be having this idea.
"Nalant, are you really willing to sell your territory?"
Nalant's affirmative answer really exceeded President Theodore's expectations.
Which of the nobles in this world does not have a deep attachment to the land, because the land represents their foundation.
It is precisely because of this that unless they are at the end of their rope and on the verge of bankruptcy, the nobles will definitely be reluctant to sell their territories.
As for Nalant's territory, he hasn't yet acquired it, let alone covered it up.
But he has already thought about selling it. He is simply an outlier among the nobles.
"Narant, did you plan to sell it when you promised to use the North Burley territory as ransom?"
Suddenly, President Theodore thought of something.
"That's right, President Theodore, I know I can't control this territory, so I thought about selling it from the beginning!"
Narante nodded.
"Haha, Nalant, your rise is indeed no accident." President Theodore was also generous in his praise.
When he winked at Nalanthe before, he actually thought of the risk that the Bach Empire might go back on its word in the future.
At first, he thought Nalant didn't notice his wink just now, but now it seems that all this was part of Nalant's plan.
"Nalant, although the climate in the North Burley territory is relatively cold, the crop yield is slightly lower than in warm areas like the Black Rock Plains."
"But Northbury is a very safe area. Except for the occasional appearance of monsters, there are almost no other threats."
"So, Beiboli is actually one of the important grain producing areas in many empires."
"And if this land is sold, each earldom will be able to sell it for at least eight to nine million gold coins!"
"Eight to nine million gold coins, not bad! It seems like it's not a loss at all!" Nalant suddenly smiled.
Although he has only obtained a territory equivalent to the size of three counties, which is worth about more than 20 million gold coins.
But it was a sky-high asking price at the beginning, so now the value is definitely beyond his original bottom line.
When President Theodore saw this, he smiled slightly and said, "Narant, although the value of this territory is definitely worth eight or nine million gold coins."
"But if you really want to sell it at this price, it's still a bit difficult. Even... whether there is an empire willing to acquire it is also a question."
"Oh, President Theodore, can you tell me why?" Nalant's smile disappeared immediately, and he frowned slightly and asked.
"Narant, since you have thought that the Bach Empire is likely to take action against the three earls of North Burley again, then other empires must also understand."
"So, if you want these empires to be willing to acquire your territory, unless there are benefits that they can't refuse."
"You should understand what this irresistible benefit means, right?"
President Theodore looked at Nalant and spoke.
And Narant naturally knew what it meant.
That is, enough benefits must be given up to make the empires feel that they can prevent the troubles that the Bach Empire may cause in the future at all costs.
Therefore, Narant can't even think about eight or nine million gold coins.
Unless the price is halved, it is estimated that many empires will be tempted to take action.
"Damn it, I lost half of it right now!"
Nalant's heart suddenly started to bleed, as the saying goes, brothers will settle the score.
Although his relations with other empires are pretty good, business is business.
At that time, people will definitely try their best to lower the price. After all, the current situation is a buyer's market.
"Narant, in fact, I think it would be good if we could sell an earldom for four to five million gold coins. At least it would be more cost-effective than asking the Bach Empire to directly give out the gold coins."
"After all, I think if you really let the Bach Empire ransom those coalition prisoners with gold coins, then the maximum ransom they would give would probably not exceed six million gold coins."
"And now that you have obtained the territory of Beiboli, you can sell it for double the price. This is already a profit!"
Theodore laughed when he saw Nalant's expression.
I thought, this cunning little fox, after all, was still a little impulsive and didn't think everything through.
"President Theodore, do you think that if I exchange the three counties of North Burleigh for the territory of the Black Rock Plain, would those empires be willing?"
However, the next moment, Nalant suddenly asked a question that Theodore did not expect.
"Exchanging North Burley for the land of Black Rock Plain? Narant, this is not a good deal!" Theodore shook his head.
"Narant, if you directly exchange the territory of Beibolli for gold coins, these gold coins will still be in your hands and help you develop the territory faster."
"But if it were replaced by the land of Black Rock Plain, it would definitely not be of any benefit to you."
"The Black Rock Plains is not harassed by orcs for a day or two. If you exchange it, let alone farming with peace of mind, I am afraid that letting your subordinates stationed at the border will consume a lot of your experience."
"I know Nalant that you have repelled several orc attacks, but that was against a large group of orcs."
"But for those small scattered groups of orcs, they are like rats in the dark corners. There is no way you can completely get rid of them."
"This is why the six empires ignored the fertile black rock plains and paid little attention to it."
"Because, compared to the Black Rock Plain, the six empires have other equally safe and fertile lands."
"President Theodore, I know that orcs are indeed a problem for Black Rock Plains."
"However, it is precisely because of this that I feel that if I propose to replace the territory of Black Rock Plains with the territory of North Burley, the empires will be more interested."
"That way I don't have to sell off the North Burley property at a super low price."
"After all, I think the empires must be able to understand the difference between a stable territory and a land that can only be idle."
Theodore's persuasion did not change Nalant's idea of replacing the Black Rock Plains with the North Burleigh territory.
Because he really couldn't stand the behavior of selling land at low prices.
Therefore, if land can be exchanged for land, at least the North Burley territory will not be sold at a low price.
As for whether Nalant can guard against the orcs who are fighting against the autumn wind after he has really acquired the Black Rock Plains territory.
In this regard, Nalant was very confident that these orcs could be reduced to parts.
But no matter how hidden they were, they couldn't escape the patrols of the little bees.
Therefore, this matter is not a problem at all.
Furthermore, there is no need to develop the territory immediately after acquiring it, Nalant only needs to hold it in his hands.
When the population increases in the future, it will slowly start to develop.
"Well, since you have thought about it, Nalant, I can't say anything more."
"However, this exchange of Northern Burley for the land of Black Rock Plain can really make many empires excited."
"After all, in the past, many empires in the Black Rock Plain used it as a buffer zone with the Orc Royal Court. Now that you have replaced it, it has freed them from the worries of the border."
"President Theodore, how do you think I should exchange my land in North Burley for the land in Black Rock Plain?" Nalant asked.
Theodore pondered for a moment, "I think at least one earldom of North Burley can be exchanged for two earldoms of Black Rock Plains, which is a good deal."
"Of course, this depends on the specific negotiations between Nalant and you. If your Earldom of North Burley is not entangled with the Bach Empire, exchanging one for three is not impossible!" President Theodore gave the answer.
own proposal.
"Thank you, President Theodore!" Nalant nodded when he heard this, knowing better.
"No need to thank me, Nalant, you saved our Holy Continent during the last expedition. Although I, Theodore, am only the president, I also want to say thank you on behalf of the Holy Continent!" Theodore smiled.
Waving his hands.
"By the way, Nalant, do you need me to help you contact the noble representatives of the other five empires?"
"President Theodore, I don't need to trouble you about this. I know where they are located in the manor in the Holy City. I can just go find them myself!" Nalant rejected Theodore's kindness.
"Well, that's okay, but Narant, it's best to keep this matter a secret until you officially complete the handover with the Bach Empire!"
President Theodore nodded, but gave a kind reminder.
"President Theodore, I understand!" Nalant nodded.
If the Bach Empire realizes that he has the idea of selling the North Burley territory, there may really be trouble.
After all, Duke Michel must not have expected that Nalant would be a unique exception and would directly sell this unheated territory.
Immediately, Nalant left the parliament building and returned to the Goddess Manor.
However, on the way back to the Goddess Manor, Nalant relied on his keen mental power to feel that a spy was following him.
Asking the little Lolita to send out a little bee to investigate, Nalant confirmed that this was the spy sent by Duke Michel, in order to confirm that he was in the heart of this sacred city.
"Are you worried that I will contact several other empires to sell the Northern Burley territory?"
Narant guessed this possibility.
However, if Michelle wants to rely on a few earth knights to keep him under control, how is this possible?
…
That night.
The number of pedestrians on the streets has gradually decreased.
However, in some hotels and residential buildings around the Goddess Manor, there are still many eyes staring at the Goddess Manor.
This time, the Bach Empire sent at least twenty spies to monitor the Goddess Manor.
However, while these spies were staring at the entrance of the manor and the surrounding streets with wide eyes, Nalant suddenly appeared on a roof more than a hundred meters away from the Goddess Manor.
He has the ability to teleport through space, so it's not something that just a few spies can detect.
Although he had left the Goddess Manor, Nalant did not relax his vigilance. He teleported over a few long distances before blending into the crowd and walking on the street.
Nalant's trip was to go to a group of empires to discuss the exchange of territories.
This time, there are a total of three empires that Nalant is planning to replace their territories with.
They are the three empires closest to the Storm Territory.
In this way, if the replacement is really successful, these new territories will be completely bordered by Nalant's Storm Territory in the future.
And in this way, Nalant's territory will be greatly expanded in the future.
Soon, Nalant arrived at the first imperial station on his trip, which was the station of the Nok Empire.
Nalant did not enter from the front, but teleported directly to the inside of the manor.
Immediately, he found a servant who showed his identity openly and asked him to inform the noble representatives of the Nok Empire.
Although the servant was shocked at first, he calmed down after Nalant revealed his identity, and then hurried to notify the guards and noble representatives.
After Nalant's identity was confirmed, he was invited into the manor's small building.
After that, Narante directly explained his purpose without being verbose.
The noble representative was a little stunned after hearing this, wondering if he had heard wrongly.
Nalant actually planned to replace the territory of Black Rock Plains with the territory of North Burleigh. This was simply a waste of money.
After repeatedly confirming the exchange, the noble representative finally believed it and confirmed the exchange with Nalant.
Nalant didn't have the big opening of Lion, so he directly exchanged it at a price of one for two.
After the price was determined, the noble representative naturally could not make the decision, so he needed to truthfully convey the matter to the Nok Empire.
Wait for King Nok's confirmation at that time.
Nalant also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he agreed to wait for their news, and then left the Nok Resident Manor directly.
Next, Nalant followed the same pattern and went to two other imperial manors.
