Act XXXII

Thanks to the episode just now, the communication between Rosen and the others after that went much smoother.

There are some weak nations that try to befriend Isrul in order to get help, after all, these countries are already attached to the Templar or other powers, and since there is nothing to lose, it is natural that they do not have to think too much about acting in order to survive.

Rosen is also very generous, although these small countries do not have much say to be honest, but they still have a large population, and there is no harm in making a lot of friends, which is not harmful to expand the influence of Isrul, Rosen will not forget the history of several permanent members of the Council in the last life, and only a few small countries supported it.

Alex is the prince from the Kingdom of Grugi, his country has long been dependent on the Wendland Federation, although it is rich in minerals, but due to the small land area, and mostly rugged mountains, it is difficult to grow food, for many years, it is by using his own ore to trade grain with the Wendland Federation to survive, this time, he wants to seek some cooperation.

"Lord Rosen, I heard that the mobile terminal was your handiwork?"

Alex found an opportunity to come to Rosen's side, and after he had finished talking to a tall, aristocratic woman about art, Alex leaned in and asked.

Although he is only twenty-three years old, he is already the father of two children, and because he has been under the fence for a long time, he is well versed in the way of communication between nobles, Alex thinks that Rosen should be most proud of the mobile terminal that is now popular across the continent, so he decided to start the topic from here.

"You are?"

Rosen was accustomed to the way these nobles approached, looking at the man in front of him, with brown hair and green eyes, but there seemed to be a deep melancholy between his eyebrows, which did not match his age.

"Rude, I'm Alex of the Grugi Kingdom, and our country is located in the mountains to the east of the Wendland Federation. ”

Alex didn't bother with Rosen's lack of knowledge of himself, after all, Grugie is just a small country, and it is very normal to have no presence on the international stage.

"The mountains east of Wendland, it can't be the Golden Pine Mountains, right?"

Unexpectedly, Rosen blurted out the name of the mountain range where the Gruji Kingdom was located, which surprised Alex slightly.

"Well, it's the Golden Pine Mountains, and the Kingdom of Grugi is located in the hills at the foot of the mountain. ”

Alex replied that he felt that the other party should be familiar with the geography of the continent, so he could immediately associate the Golden Pine Mountains from the mountains in the eastern part of the Wendland Federation, but Rosen's next sentence immediately denied Alex's speculation.

"The Huiyao veins in the Jinsong Mountains are of quite high quality, and it is said that they have always been monopolized, I have asked some merchant friends before, and they all said that they can't buy the Huiyao veins there in the market, could it be said that the Gruji Kingdom is the country that produces this ore?"

Hearing Rosen's words, Alex couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

The Radiance ore vein is indeed produced from the Gruji Kingdom, but it has been monopolized by the Wendland Federation for a long time, and they purchase the Huiyao ore at a price lower than the market price, and at the same time convert the money that should have been paid into grain and deliver it to the Gruji Kingdom.

Moreover, the strength of the Wendland Federation is prosperous, and under the shadow of the Wyvern Knight, the Gruji Kingdom does not dare to resist or seek assistance from other countries, and over time, the Gruji Kingdom has become what it is now, equivalent to the status of a province in Wendland.

It's not even as good as a province in Wendland, you know, the arrogant Wendlands are rampant in Gruji, no matter where they go, they treat the people of Gruji as if they were inferior, even if the Wendlanders kill someone in Gruji, they only need to pay a little money to get away with it, which can be said to be very arrogant.

Because of this, Alex is also under great pressure at home, on the one hand, the Wendland Federation is reckless, even the earl of a province can dictate him, and on the other hand, the people at home are complaining and hating the king for being incompetent.

Therefore, when Rosen mentioned the Radiance Vein, Alex secretly had a trace of anticipation in his heart.

"Yes, Lord Lawson, the specialty of the Gruji Kingdom is the Radiance Vein, but most of the Radiance Vein is supplied to the Wendland Federation, so the amount of Radiance Ore from the Gruji Kingdom circulating in the market is very small. ”

"Is that so, it's a pity, I have a few projects here, and I just need a large number of high-quality Radiance Ore Veins, although other places can also purchase them, but I heard that the Radiance Ore produced by the Gruji Kingdom is the highest grade. ”

Lawson said that this is indeed a fact, as a kind of magic vein, Huiyao ore is a very high-quality raw material after purification, which can be used in all places where magic is used, in a sense, Huiyao ore is similar to the semiconductor materials of this world, and has extremely important strategic value for Lawson.

When the other party mentioned that he was the Kingdom of Grugi, he immediately understood the ins and outs, and at the same time began to negotiate imperceptibly.

"Of course, the Radiance Ore of our Gruji Kingdom is of excellent quality, and it is definitely the best spellcasting material. ”

Alex raised an eyebrow, and he couldn't have been happier to hear Rosen's look of interest.

"But our country is barren and can only survive by relying on the relief of the Wendland Federation, so in order to repay this kindness, we agreed to only export the Huiyao ore vein to the Wendland Federation, which is why there is almost no Huiyao mine from the Gruji Kingdom in the market. ”

He said it very tactfully, after all, it was impossible to directly tell Rosen that the Grugi Kingdom was coerced by the Wendland Federation to make such a deal, but Alex believed that the other party should understand the meaning.

In fact, Alex didn't have much hope, he just wanted to use Islam as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Wendland, and who could guarantee that Islam was not another Wendland?

After years of sojourn, Alex had become accustomed to being dependent on other forces, and independence seemed like an unattainable dream to him, as early as a child, when he watched his father, who was the king of a country, smile at Wendland's envoy, and was insulted and did not dare to refute it.

But Rosen's next sentence made Alex stunned in place.

"The Radiant Vein is an extremely valuable strategic resource, and I think that in the next battle against the Chaos People, such a resource needs to be properly protected, and if Lord Alex doesn't mind, Isrul is willing to provide certain weapons and equipment to the Grugi Kingdom, so that you can guard the Radiant Vein yourself. ”
