Looking at the two people below, Allen nodded, knowing clearly in his heart. After seeing the German coat of arms on the two people, he actually had a guess. It was the coat of arms of the King's family of the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary, and it was only
Only the royal family is qualified to wear it.
At this time, as prince Jones and princess Pandora, their hearts were far from being as indifferent as they showed on their faces.
If it weren't for the purpose of maintaining the dignity of their Austro-Hungarian Kingdom in front of the Red Dragon Duke, the two of them would have looked shocked!
Although the two of them had already heard about the reputation of this young duke, they had not seen it with their own eyes. In the end, they did not want to believe it. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he could become an extraordinary and powerful man. This was indeed a bit strange.
It’s too shocking to be believed!
But now I can see that this Duke of Red Dragon cannot be fake, he is about the same age as the two of them!
"I wonder, Prince, why are you waiting for the three of you to come here to discuss something important?" Allen followed the words and asked.
This time, because Allen was specifically looking at the fifth prince, Marquis Lem said nothing more and gave the right to speak to His Highness Jones.
Jones' face straightened up and he said seriously: "Duke, does he know that our Kingdom of Austria-Hungary has been invaded by the tidal giant some time ago?"
"I heard a little bit!" Allen nodded and responded. He not only heard about it, but also paid close attention to it! But this matter cannot be said clearly.
"Due to the intrusion of sea monsters and tidal giants, a large number of ships in our Kingdom of Austria-Hungary have been destroyed. Now our Kingdom of Austria-Hungary is doing its best to build sea ships in the hope of restoring our maritime trade in the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary in the shortest possible time!
However, the Duke should know that shipbuilding is not easy. It requires shipbuilders and a large number of manpower, as well as suitable materials. Secondly, the wood stored in our kingdom is already stretched and there is an extremely shortage of wood.
This is also the reason why we came to meet the Duke this time, hoping to cooperate with the Red Dragon Principality!" Jones continued.
"Lumber shortage?"
Allen whispered.
This is very possible. After all, the wood used to make sea ships is not ordinary goods, and the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom could not have expected that one day they would be attacked by a tidal giant, causing the entire Austro-Hungarian Kingdom's harbors and sea ships to be destroyed.
Almost exhausted.
So even if they originally had reserves, they wouldn't be too much. But judging from the current situation, the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom is eager to resume sea trade, so the idea of a shortage of wood has been exposed.
"Oh! How does the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary want to cooperate with my little Red Dragon Principality?" Allen said modestly.
"The Duke's words are serious! In the southeast of this continent, no one knows the name of the Red Dragon Principality and the prestige of the Duke!" The Marquis of Lem smiled and patted him at the right time.
Allen smiled and said nothing.
"Duke! This is what we in the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom envisioned. The Red Dragon Principality is close to the Black Dragon Mountains, and the Black Dragon Mountains are rich in materials and lush. The wood has not been cut down for many years. In addition, the Red Dragon Principality does not have a shipbuilding industry. The special wood in it
There are definitely many.
So if the Red Dragon Principality can conquer, we, the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary, will buy them all at a price that is half the market price!" Jones's eyes flashed with excitement.
"More than half?" Allen's face showed surprise at first, and then he lowered his head in thought, secretly thinking that the fox's tail of the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom was finally exposed!
After waiting for five minutes, and seeing that Allen still had not given an answer, Jones's eyes flashed with impatience, and then he continued to ask: "I don't know, Your Majesty the Duke..."
Allen raised his head with a smile and said with a smile: "Okay! Since the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary has come with sincerity, how can I refuse? From today on, our Red Dragon Principality will organize manpower to carry out inspections of special timber in the Black Dragon Mountains.
Look for!"
"Thank you, Lord Duke!" The three of them looked at each other and said with joy on their faces.
Even though Allen said this, he would not really do it. You must know that the black dragon warship currently being built on Helan Island requires special wood. How could he sell this precious wood?
To Austria-Hungary!
In fact, the Red Dragon Principality has long since entered the Black Dragon Mountains in search of special wood, but this wood is all prepared for the Black Dragon warship.
It's just that after all, the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom has traveled thousands of miles to come here, and Allen can't refuse directly. Doing so will harm the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom, so he can only agree verbally first, and then only distribute a small amount of wood.
When people from the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom asked about it, they just said that wood was hard to find!
"That's right! You must know that in addition to our Red Dragon Principality being close to the Black Dragon Mountains, the Linton Principality is also close to the Black Dragon Mountains. Your Highness Jones, why don't you choose the Linton Principality as a partner? Or do you want to do it again after this?
Heading to the Principality of Linton?" Allen speculated in his mind.
Unexpectedly, when Allen asked, the faces of the three people below showed an unnatural look, but it quickly disappeared!
"I'll be honest with you, Duke Red Dragon! The Principality of Linton... is actually one of my cooperation partners with the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary, but the three of us are only responsible for the Principality of Red Dragon. As for the Principality of Linton, my fourth brother will go there.
!" Jones said slightly embarrassed. After all, they also knew that the Red Dragon Principality and the Linton Principality had a big feud!
After hearing this, Allen couldn't help but secretly thought that he was being sentimental. Since the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary was eager to resume sea trade, it naturally had to consider all avenues and strive to maximize the collection of wood. The Red Dragon Principality and the Linton Principality were also close to each other.
In the Black Dragon Mountains, why should people only look for you?
After the matter was discussed, the three people from the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom decided to rush back to recover. Allen still politely persuaded them to stay: "The three of you have come from afar and can spend a few days in the capital, and there is no harm in returning!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty the Duke! It's still not possible!" Jones flatly refused.
Looking at Jones with a determined look on his face, Allen said no more and asked Danwei to send him off. After all, he was from the Austro-Hungarian capital, which was much more prosperous than Red Dragon City. Everyone in the Austro-Hungarian capital saw it.
I'm tired of it, let alone this small Red Dragon City.
Not long after, Danwei came back and bluntly stated that the envoy from the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom had left Red Dragon City.
…
On the broad avenue outside Red Dragon City, people were coming and going, and there were many carriages. Among them, a gorgeous convoy consisting of five carriages was slowly leaving at a steady speed.
Princess Pandora and Prince Jones were sitting across from each other in the car. Pandora stared at her brother with two big eyes and said disdainfully: "Fifth brother, the Red Dragon Duke is about the same age as you, but you see that he has become
A super strong man like his father!
And you... have just become a high-level knight, and Duke Red Dragon is really a genius. Do you think he will become as strong as our ancestor King Shui in the future?"
