Matthew asked,
“What experiment?”
“It’s about the development of ‘True Alchemy’!”
Margaret’s eyes lit up as she introduced,
” You already know about the Capital’s series of spells, and you also know that my signature is True Transformation. This experiment is to combine these two fields. I want to turn ordinary substances into gold to maintain the huge consumption of the Capital series of spells!”
It did sound quite promising.
If Matthew had some spare money, he might really agree to invest after Margaret’s repeated requests.
Unfortunately, he was really poor now.
In the end.
He could only look at Margaret with a helpless expression before explaining seriously,
I’m sorry, I’m just a small mage who just joined the Alliance. I really don’t have any gold coins.
” As for the knowledge points, they were all given to me by my teacher. I’m not sure if there’s a limit to the use of these knowledge points. Currently, my way of earning money is only on paper, and I can’t convert them into actual gold coins. ”
Margaret stared at him with wide eyes.
“So you admit that your homework was to fool me?
“Do you want me to punish you?
“Kneel down!”
Matthew rolled his eyes and said,
“But class time is over now.”
It was still early to leave the Cauldron House. Matthew thought about it and decided to go to the liege’s residence to waste some time.
As expected, Lorraine and Zeller were still tugging at each other when they walked into the office hall.
Both of them were skilled in negotiations. Both sides had been going back and forth for more than ten hours. It seemed that it would be difficult to reach a conclusion in the short term.
Matthew and Rheagar exchanged glances.
The latter said to Matthew,
” News came from Red Mountain this morning. They want to form an alliance with us. The negotiation venue is Barley City in the golden fertile fields.”
Matthew sneered. Golden Fertile Field. Isn’t that their territory?”
Rheagar nodded.
‘ Exactly. That’s why in my reply to them, I strongly requested that the negotiation venue be West Cove Farm, which is not far from the Southern Trade Station.’
Matthew asked seriously, “Do you plan to form an alliance with them?”
Rheagar shook his head.
“Of course not. They obviously don’t really want to form an alliance with us.
This negotiation is just to test each other. ”
Matthew pondered and said,
“Do you need my help?”
Rheagar teased,
“Isn’t this too much trouble for you? I heard that it’s not easy to be the illegitimate son of a big shot. The pressure is usually very high.”
Matthew rolled his eyes at him.
At this moment, Zeller and Lorraine stopped in unison. Madam Wesley handed them a cup of tea each. From the empty cups beside them, it was not difficult to tell that they had been fighting for a long time in the early morning. Matthew smiled and asked them,
“Have the two of you made any progress in your negotiations?”
Zeller took a sip of ginger water and cleared his throat.
Based on the premise of equality and respect, we have fully exchanged our opinions. ”
Matthew said regretfully, “So you didn’t come to an agreement?” Zeller also said helplessly,
“Your friend is offering a too high of a price.”
Lorraine immediately raised his hands.
“I’m not asking for an exorbitant price. All the prices were given to me by Alena herself.
“This was her request. There were only two ways to achieve cooperation between the two parties.
“The first was for Rolling Stone Town to send out a troop of no less than 30 elites.
“This elite force had to go to Deep Blue Harbor as soon as possible and stay there permanently.
“Alena requested to be given the command of this unit.
“In return.
“She would marry Judy to Rhaegar.
“A brand new trade route would be opened between Deep Blue Harbor and Rolling Stone Town. She promised that the merchants of Rolling Stone Town would be exempted from all taxes if they shipped through the cargo terminal of Deep Blue Harbor.
“There are also many preferential policies. I can’t remember them, but those are all minor details.
“The second way of cooperation is for you to directly send out your army to help her suppress the rebellion in Deep Blue Port and resist the invasion of Lion City.
“In return, she would marry Rheagar and give half of Deep Blue Port’s ownership and profit rights to Rheagar.
“When Rolling Stone Town and Deep Blue Harbor became one, they would become a family.
“But for Matthew’s sake, I can tell you more details.
“Alena was not only negotiating with Rolling Stone Town, she was also negotiating with another noble in the Azure Islands and Lion City.
“Rolling Stone Town was her preferred partner, but she didn’t plan to place all her hopes on you.
“If you continue to drag this out, I’m afraid she’ll already be in someone else’s bed.”
Zeller and Rheagar looked at each other.
The latter said calmly,
If that’s the case, Rolling Stone Town will send a small gift to Castellan
Alena’s wedding ceremony.”
The meaning of this sentence couldn’t be more obvious.
The cooperation method proposed by Lady Alena was unacceptable to Rheagar. After a few days of careful consideration, he basically decided to reject her.
This was undoubtedly the right decision.
Matthew was very pleased.
Although Rheagar usually looked unreliable, his mind was still very clear at critical moments.
Lorraine obviously understood.
He revealed a relieved smile.
In that case, I’ll let Judy play for two more days before throwing her back to Deep Blue Harbor.
My mission has been successfully completed!
“Now, for Matthew’s sake, we’re family.. How about a hug, family?”
