"Chapter 59: Bargaining
No matter how long the shadow of the tree drags on at dusk, it can't leave the roots, and no matter how far you go, you can't get out of my heart.
– Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet, philosopher, and Indian nationalist)
"First, you can't force me to go to the Holy Mount of the Holy See for three years to be baptized, I have to stabilize my power first. ”
"Two years at most, otherwise don't talk about it!" Charlotte, who was also extremely resolute, directly gave her bottom line and said: "We can help you stabilize your power, and even help you become the most powerful prince in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, but you must go to the Holy Mountain to be baptized in two years!"
"If I agree to your two-year request, I want to know what kind of assistance your Holy See can provide me in these two years. "Negotiation is a matter of bargaining, and Bai Feng, who opened his mouth widely, didn't expect Charlotte to agree immediately.
"Every six months, we can provide you with a batch of sophisticated weapons and equipment enough to arm an army of 100,000 people, and enough food for a million people for a year, and every year, we can also provide you with 100 million gold coins of financial support to help you develop a strong and stable force. ”
"No!" Bai Feng, who was surprised by the strong foundation of the Holy See, refused without thinking about it: "Provide 200,000 troops with weapons and equipment every six months, 500 people need food for a year, and 500 million gold coins, this is my minimum requirement!"
Then again, this condition proposed by Bai Feng is really nothing to the Holy See with a big family; with the background and development speed of the Holy See, it only takes about five years of accumulation at most to meet Bai Feng's condition of almost opening his mouth.
"Okay, I can agree to this condition on behalf of the Holy See!" After a little hesitation, Charlotte nodded and agreed.
The first condition went unexpectedly smoothly, which not only made Bai Feng a little confused, but also invalidated the last two conditions that he had originally thought of, because the last two conditions that Bai Feng came up with were to ask the wealthy Holy See for weapons and equipment, food, and gold coins.
As a result, Bai Feng was still thinking about how to delay the day of going to the Holy See a year later, and Charlotte over there offered a favorable condition that almost made Bai Feng laugh, so Bai Feng had to think of two conditions, thinking that he would get more benefits.
"I heard that your Holy See has a method for cultivating saint-level powerhouses on a large scale, and I want you to teach me this method. Bai Feng, who knew that Charlotte was not a good negotiator, continued to ask for a price: "After all, the strength of our Bai family is still too weak, and there are only two Sword Saints. ”
"Your Bai family used to be just a marquis family that was not in the stream, but now you have two sword saints at the same time, and you have become one of the top families in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, are you still not satisfied?"
"The big tree does attract the wind, so I want to get the cultivation method of your Holy See to make the big tree of our Bai family grow more and more vigorously, don't you know that the real towering tree will not be blown down by the wind?"
"You ......" Charlotte, who was so desperate to death, held back her anger and said: "Our Holy See has no way to cultivate saint-level powerhouses on a large scale, and it is only through some special divine objects occasionally given by our god that some saint-level powerhouses have been cultivated. ”
"Well, this is also true, if your Holy See really has a way to cultivate saint-level powerhouses on a large scale, then wouldn't you have unified the continent a long time ago?" Bai Feng first deliberately stimulated Charlotte, and then pretended to write lightly: "Then divide your divine objects among me." ”
"How can this be possible for you?" Charlotte, who finally couldn't suppress the anger in her heart and wanted to get angry, seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked Bai Feng coldly, "How do you know how many divine objects my god has given?"
"Do you think that the people in the whole continent are stupid?" Bai Feng, who knew that he had said something wrong, subconsciously said casually: "Our top family in the upper class of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, who doesn't know what kind of divine light ball your Holy See has, but they didn't dare to confirm it in the past." ”
Bai Feng, who was open-mouthed, didn't know that what he said was indeed the top family of the Heavenly Dragon Empire that knew the existence of the Divine Light Sphere, you know, it was the Bai family who told Bai Feng about this at the beginning, and the Bai family at that time was not the top family of the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
"Since you know about the existence of the Divine Light Orb, you should know that we don't have many Holy Light Orbs in the Holy See. Speaking of this, Charlotte took out the sacred light ball prepared for Bai Feng in her space ring, handed it to Bai Feng and said, "Just this one, love or not!"
"Yes, how could I not want it?" Bai Feng, who was quick-eyed, took the divine light ball and put it into the Bai Ling ring before continuing: "However, how can only one be enough? at least three, otherwise I will never join the Holy See!"
"You ......" Charlotte, who was angry and had a flushed face, almost didn't rush up directly to bite Bai Feng twice; she was angry, she rolled her eyes and said: "Do you think the Divine Light Ball is so good? At least three? Let me tell you, just this one, there is no more!"
"That's it......" Bai Feng, who pretended to think, deliberately pretended to be entangled, and only after a long time did he reluctantly say: "Then, I can ask for a sacred ball of light, and as compensation, your Holy See's Bright Knights must fully assist me in attacking the grassland army." ”
"This is okay, since we have promised to help you stabilize your power and increase your strength, then it is reasonable to send the Knights of Light to help you. Charlotte, who is not very good at negotiation, inadvertently revealed her true thoughts.
"In this case, wouldn't I be able to propose new compensation?" Bai Feng, who knew that Charlotte was not good at negotiation, hurriedly said with a look of surprise: "After all, it is reasonable to send the Knights of Light to assist me!"
"Get out of !!" Charlotte, who was about to go berserk, shouted the word in a low voice.
"Forget it, even if I gave it to you for free. Bai Feng, who was angry and couldn't pay for his life, smiled and put forward the third condition: "The last condition, your Holy See will send at least three high-level saint-level powerhouses to the Bai family to protect the Bai family for two years!"
"Impossible!" Charlotte, who has grown wise this time, has learned wisely, and she directly and sternly rejected Bai Feng and said: "There are not many saint-level powerhouses in our Holy See, especially high-level saint-level powerhouses, there are not three of them, and we can't do this request of yours." ”
"Does your Holy See have three high-level saint-level powerhouses?
"I don't know if anyone believes me, but I do!
"You ......"
Looking at Bai Feng's deflated face, she felt that Charlotte, who had won back a game, was very proud and happy, but as everyone knows, she was so unhappy on her face, and after meeting Bai Feng's eyes, Bai Feng's heart also laughed secretly.
"You said that your Holy See doesn't have three high-level saint-level powerhouses, but there are always three middle-level saint-level powerhouses. Bai Feng, who was perfect, pretended to compromise and said, "As long as your Holy See sends three mid-level saint-level powerhouses to protect the Bai family for two years, I will join the Holy See." ”
"Three mid-level saint-level powerhouses?!" Charlotte, who exclaimed in surprise, said with an incredulous face: "Do we have so many mid-level saint-level powerhouses in the Holy See?, Bai Feng, you don't want our cardinal archbishop of the Holy See to protect your Bai family, right?!"
"I ......" Bai Feng, whose muscles twitched slightly, said helplessly: "Then who can your Holy See send?"
"One Intermediate Sword Saint and two Junior Sword Masters, this is the strongest force that our Holy See can send!"
"Haha, okay! A word is a decision!!" Bai Feng, who looked up to the sky and laughed, immediately agreed.
