In the palace of the Kingdom of Jindu, King Bradlow and several important ministers were talking about Lin Li's purchase of magic crystal naval guns. They all knew that Prince Monterey took Lin Li to see the goods today, although in front of Lin Li yesterday
It's hard to say anything in front of me, but at this time it's inevitable to have a few words of discussion.
Especially several former warring ministers. Although they dare not talk about starting a war now, they definitely don't have much affection for Lin Li in their hearts. During the founding ceremony, Lin Li saved the Kingdom of Jindu, but for these ministers
, it seems that there is no need to be so grateful to Lin Li.
Everyone in the Jindu Kingdom knows that the magic crystal naval guns Lin Li needs cannot be one or two, because the Twilight Tower has been purchasing magic crystal naval guns from the Jindu Kingdom a long time ago, but the Jindu Kingdom has
I have been looking for various reasons to delay. However, if the number of magic crystal naval guns purchased is large, then transportation will be a problem that must be faced no matter what.
Yesterday, I followed King Bradlow to the Tower of Dusk to express his gratitude to Lin Li. Several ministers heard with their own ears that Lin Li rejected Bradlow's offer to help with transportation. If anything, the Tower of Dusk itself has enough transportation power.
, they wouldn’t find it so strange, but the problem is that until now, they have not heard about the Twilight Tower recruiting a transport fleet.
"Just wait and see, that President Ferre is too proud, and I'm afraid he will inevitably ask for our help in the end." A minister said to everyone as if he had seen through everything.
Bradlow couldn't help but frowned when he heard that. He was somewhat dissatisfied with the minister's tone and said in a deep voice: "If you need help, we will help you. What's the use of saying this! I'm not asking you to come here today to listen to you.
What we are discussing is to discuss future strategies for the Qingfeng Plain."
The Kingdom of Jindu is indeed going to change its strategy towards the Qingfeng Plain. Not to mention that the main war faction wanted to occupy the Qingfeng Plain by force in the past, even the main peace faction also placed themselves in a very high position.
Feng Pingyuan adopts the attitude of giving alms and making peace.
But now, the main war faction naturally does not dare to mention the occupation by force, and the main peace faction also has to change its original mentality. Otherwise, if they continue to develop relations with the Qingfeng Plain with the previous attitude, I am afraid that by then
It's still inevitable to get slapped in the face.
While everyone in Jindu Kingdom was discussing this issue, a palace guard ran in from outside and reported to King Bradlow that Prince Monterey was back.
"Oh. He's back? Invite him in quickly!" Bradlow quickly asked the palace guard to call Monterey in, eager to hear how Monterey handled the matter.
Soon, the Prince of Monterey walked in. Although he did not forget to salute Bradlow, the anxious expression on his face suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
Bradlow's heart sank slightly, and he didn't even bother to let Prince Monterey sit down, so he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong Monterey, is there something wrong with the matter?"
And those ministers also showed curious expressions, wondering how the always calm Prince Monterey could behave like this. Especially the ministers related to the manufacturing of magic crystal naval guns, they were suddenly worried.
He got up, fearing that one of his subordinates was blind and caused some trouble again.
Looking at Bradlow, Prince Monterey showed a wry smile on his face and said: "Your Majesty, President Ferre's selection of magic crystal naval guns went very smoothly. And the reason why I came back is to pay tribute to him.
Please ask, how far will we go with this transaction? At what price are we going to sell the magic crystal naval gun to President Ferre?"
Hearing what Prince Monterey said, Bradlow suddenly became a little unhappy, and even complained about why Monterey couldn't do things. He frowned and said: "Didn't I say before, he can't buy much anyway, so we just
Just give it to him as a personal favor."
Although the cost of manufacturing magic crystal naval guns is not low, with the financial resources of the Jindu Kingdom, there is no problem in giving Lin Li twenty or thirty of them for free. In addition, Lin Li did not ask the Jindu Kingdom to help transport. This made Bradlow
I think Lin Li only needs twenty or thirty magic crystal naval guns at most.
However, after hearing Bradlow's words, the bitter smile on Monterey's face became thicker and he said: "But Your Majesty, the magic crystal naval guns that President Ferre wants are really quite a lot. If they are all in vain,
If you give it away, even we can't afford it! That's why I came back to ask for your opinion and see what kind of price is appropriate."
"Hey, the Prince of Monterey is too exaggerated. Then President Ferre wants more, so how much more can he get? Twenty or thirty magic crystal naval guns already require considerable transportation capacity. Is it possible that Ferre will
The commander has changed his mind and wants us to help with transportation?" Right Minister Badjis said with some disdain.
Right Minister Badjis was originally the leader of the main war faction, hoping to gain more power through a war against Qingfeng Plains, but now this plan has been ruined. However, even if there is no war against Qingfeng Plains,
However, his inner dislike for Lin Li has not changed much, and it can even be said that he has become even more disgusted.
However, Badgers is still smart and knows that at this time, he must not act too much. He can only express his dissatisfaction with a few mocking words like this.
Bradlow didn't care to pay attention to the tone of Badgers and others. He looked at Prince Monterey and said with a bit of displeasure in his tone: "Monterey, haven't I already given you full authority on this matter?"
Have you dealt with it? As long as we meet President Ferre's requirements as much as possible within our ability, the most important thing is to improve the relationship between us, and a little financial contribution is nothing! You do
Tell me, how many magic crystal naval guns he wants, and to what extent."
What Bradlow is worried about now is not the financial price he will pay, but that Prince Monterey's behavior of running back to ask for his opinion will cause displeasure on Lin Li's side. After all, they had previously
On my side, I have already made a big promise, but now I have to discuss something, which will inevitably give the other party a feeling that I have no final say.
Faced with Bradlow's vaguely reprimanding question, Prince Monterey was obviously a little aggrieved. Instead of telling the truth directly, he stretched out two fingers and said: "Your Majesty, President Ferre wants the magic crystal naval gun."
With this number, I really can’t make the decision.”
"Two hundred?" Bradlow was silent for a moment. This number was indeed a bit beyond his expectation. If the two hundred magic crystal naval guns were used as a favor, even he would feel a little painful.
The faces of several ministers of the Jindu Kingdom also changed slightly. The value of two hundred magic crystal naval guns, if calculated purely in gold coins, would probably be worth the tax revenue of the Jindu Kingdom for several years.
Therefore, several ministers expressed their dissatisfaction at that moment and said: "Are you kidding, two hundred magic crystal naval guns. Then President Ferre's appetite must be too much. Moreover, two hundred magic crystal naval guns
, how will he transport it back? In the end, I'm afraid we will have to help him transport it again!"
Bradlow couldn't help but hesitate. After all, with this knife, he would have to cut off a piece of the boss's flesh. However, when it comes to things like favor, you have to do it thoroughly. As long as it's the cost price, it doesn't count.
It's a favor.
However, considering the importance of establishing a good relationship with an inscription master, even though he felt very painful, after weighing it for a moment, Bradlow still said to Monterey: "Okay, you go back and tell Feyre.
Commander, the two hundred magic crystal naval guns should be regarded as a thank you gift for helping us kill that demon this time. Moreover, if he has difficulty in transporting it, we can also fully help him transport the magic crystal naval guns back to Qingfeng Plain.
.”
As Bradlow said this, his heart was dripping with blood. He had been brutally stabbed. He also helped the other party deliver the goods to his door. This felt a bit cheap no matter how you looked at it.
However, just as Bradlow finished speaking, and when the ministers of Jindu Kingdom were still trying to persuade him a few more words, Prince Monterey looked at Bradlow and shook his head, with a very helpless expression on his face.
, said: "Your Majesty, I'm very sorry. What President Ferre wants is not two hundred magic crystal naval guns, but two thousand!"
Two thousand doors!
In the spacious palace, a gasping "hissing" sound suddenly sounded.
Bradlow felt his eyes going dark and almost fell off the throne. He managed to stabilize his body and urgently confirmed to Monterey: "What did you say? Tell me again, how many naval guns does President Ferre want?"
"
The ministers also focused their attention on Prince Monterey, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. Indeed, two thousand magic crystal naval guns, not two thousand spears, this is the Kingdom of Jindu
The current inventory has been accumulated by Jindu Kingdom for many years. If it were given out at once, it would be like directly crippling Jindu Kingdom. This is no longer a flesh-cutting, but an amputation!
Prince Monterey, after a small revenge on everyone, knew that enough was enough, so he said: "Yes, Your Majesty, President Ferre wants to purchase two thousand magic crystal naval guns. This morning, we have already stored all the magic crystal cannons."
I searched all the warehouses of crystal naval guns and finally collected two thousand guns. So, I came back and wanted to ask, at what price should we sell it to him?"
"Impossible, how can they transport two thousand magic crystal naval guns back to the Qingfeng Plain? He is kidding us!" After Badgers and other ministers came to their senses, they all expressed disbelief.
Two hundred magic crystal naval guns already require a rather large transport fleet to transport, and the transport capacity required for two thousand magic crystal naval guns has even exceeded the capacity limit of Jindu Kingdom. At dusk
What does the tower use for transportation?
The questions from several ministers gave Bradlow a glimmer of hope. He looked at Prince Monterey and said, "Monterey, are you sure President Ferre is not joking? I know that those two things in the past made
President Ferre may have some opinions about us, so it’s understandable to make a joke. However, you should be able to tell whether the other party is serious."
Seeing everyone's ignorant performance, Monterey sighed helplessly and said: "Transporting two thousand magic crystal naval guns is not a problem at all for President Ferre. He has a space magic equipment that is comparable to an artifact. It is very easy.
He put two thousand magic crystal naval guns in it. So, I know very well that he is not joking."
Although what Monterey said is true, this fact is even more difficult for Bradlow and others to accept than the news just now. It is simply unimaginable for them to easily install space magic equipment with two thousand magic crystal naval guns.
, even in myths and legends, there is probably nothing so exaggerated.
However, Bradlow and others knew that Monterey would obviously not lie about this matter, so they could only believe that Lin Li really had such a magical weapon. And the problem then came, two thousand demons
Crystal naval guns, no matter how generous Bradlow is, he can't give them away for free.
Not to mention giving it away for free, even if it is a cost-only price, it is a big loss for the Kingdom of Jindu. In the Kingdom of Jindu, magic crystal naval guns are not ordinary commodities, but are strategic reserve materials. In addition to manufacturing
In addition to the cost, there are also more important meanings. For example, if you want to rebuild the Fifth Fleet that was destroyed by Lin Li, if you only have ships but no guns, can it still be regarded as a battleship?
Therefore, even if more than two thousand magic crystal naval guns are sold to Lin Li at a high price, they will have a considerable impact on the Kingdom of Jindu. And this impact cannot be eliminated quickly, it can only be done slowly.
As new magic crystal naval guns are manufactured and stored, the impact of this can be gradually eliminated.
But the problem now is that Lin Li has collected more than 2,000 magic crystal naval guns in the Ring of Endless Storm. When Monterey came back to report to Bradlow, he only discussed the price of the magic crystal naval guns.
It can be said that even if the Jindu Kingdom wants to regret it, it is already too late.
"This, this is too much. So what exactly does Ferey want to do? Isn't the compensation we give him enough?" Right Minister Badjis and several former war ministers immediately responded to Lin Li's behavior.
, showing extremely dissatisfaction. That is to say, they were still clear-headed and did not open their mouths to start a war. If it were changed in the past, it would definitely be an excellent excuse to start a war.
Bradlow waved his hand. Although he complained about the Prince of Monterey in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time to talk about this, so he said to the ministers: "Okay, let's discuss now, at what price should we sell it to
President Feyre, please use those magic crystal naval guns."
When Bradlow said this, it was tantamount to admitting defeat, and he could only think about how to reduce the kingdom's losses. However, if he wanted to make up for the losses, it was not as simple as charging Lin Li a high price. After all, the Jindu Kingdom
The original intention was to get closer to Lin Li through the magic crystal naval gun transaction. However, if Lin Li was charged a high price, then the transaction would be just a transaction, and there would be no friendship at all.
