While Loraine Hill was discussing with the mages of Rourna, a round of questioning began in the study of the Tisiphone family.

"Wick, is that your order?"

Adelley looked at his brother-in-law, his brows furrowed slightly, the assassination incident a few days ago quickly spread throughout the city, and he thought about it, only the Tisiphone family, that is, his brother-in-law, could do it.

"Yes."

"Heh, when is it your turn to help me with my ideas."

"I just don't want you to be seduced by beauty."

"So, you can make decisions for me at will? And then push the whole family into the fire? You're very kind, my brother. ”

He read heavily on the word "brother" that Wick was not a child of the Tisiphone family, he was just raised by the old master, and was educated and raised by Tisiphone, although his status in the family was not low, but after all, he was not a direct bloodline.

Usually it's okay, his own ability is also good, and he often deals with family affairs and has his own group of subordinates, but this operation touches on what Edley can't tolerate, not that he sent someone to assassinate Lacey, but that he didn't tell himself about assassinating Lacey at all.

A knife is naturally a good knife in his hand, but if he has his own ideas and does not listen to orders, the knife has no value in existence.

If it weren't for the deep brotherhood of so many years, and Wick's true loyalty, Edley would have asked people to clean up the portal.

"Let me tell you again, I am the heir of the House of Tisiphone, and any action must be allowed only after my permission, rather than sending someone to do what you think you think, which will only bring great danger and conflict."

"Got it, my brother." He reread the word 'brother' again.

"I don't want to see the day when we can't be brothers." Addley slammed his fingers on the solid wood desk, warning Wick, and slammed the door.

Wick leaned back in his armchair, his head staring at the ceiling, the back of his hand over his eyes, silent.

After Adeley left the study, he asked the attendant to lead the carriage out.

"Master Addley, where are you going?"

"Go to that alchemy workshop on Daffodil Street."

"Holo."

-------------------------------------------

"I'm sorry, but the agreement you proposed is too harsh for us to accept."

Lorain Hill put down the contract paper in his hand, and a light voice echoed through the quiet hall.

"Why not? Don't you know how good such technology is, if you cooperate with us, you can at least ensure that your Karitas family will be in a leading position in the shipbuilding industry for a hundred years. ”

"But that doesn't mean you can get a 70% share of the profits."

"However, you are not the only ones who know how to build ships, and we are the only ones who have such advanced technology." Master Brownon didn't care about Loren Hill's rebuttal, he only felt that the merchant lady was inexperienced, and he didn't figure out the key for a while.

"We Karitas pay all the costs of raw materials, labor, facilities, etc., and you assign a small number of personnel to provide technical guidance, you have to get 70% of the net profit, and you don't take any risks and take the lion's share, this kind of thing is too good, right?"

"Miss Lacey, watch your words. Now that the Verdant Empire is showing signs of going to war again, the Seven Kingdoms of Snowflower must unite and work together to overcome the difficulties. Why are you still so greedy, obsessed with immediate interests, regardless of the overall situation of a hundred years. A middle-aged male mage spoke.

"Once the Verdant Empire captures Rulna, Verga has no danger to defend and will fall into the hands of the enemy at any time, so what's the use of having tens of millions of family assets at that time?" Another mage next to him also began to help.

"If it weren't for the idea of going to war now, you wouldn't have access to Rulner's advanced technology and design concepts for twenty years, and you should be glad that you wouldn't have been able to do so."

Lorain Hill laughed angrily, how can I say it, sure enough, the mages who have no business acumen dare to say this when negotiating, how confident is this, how low is the other party, and how insulting do you expect the other party to agree?

"Then I'm even more embarrassed to take advantage of you, look for whoever you like, see which chamber of commerce is so lucky to be favored by you."

She stood up and walked through the hallway in the middle of her seat out of the hall, and the hundreds of people from the Karitas Chamber of Commerce left the hall neatly behind the eldest lady.

Looking at the suddenly cold conference hall, Ronton's old face was a little unbearable, the little good feeling she had for this Miss Caritas before was gone, how dare she do this? How could she just leave the scene like this? Isn't it just to make less money, as if you are very noble? It's unreasonable, and sure enough, women are irrational animals no matter how old or young they are.

--------------------------

Something unexpected happened, and the Rurna delegation left after only 2 days in Hopland, and they went to the port of Greenwater, the headquarters of the Dayas Chamber of Commerce, and the loser who had once competed with Karitas for the shipbuilding industry. Although the market share has decreased significantly, it still exists tenaciously.

Three days later, the Dayas Chamber of Commerce happily accepted the Rollna delegation, and then began to mock the Karetas for their short-sightedness and irrationality.

Lorain Hill did not regret it at all, although he had not seen the actual product, but judging from the drawings introduced by Rouwer, their so-called new technology was just to replace the wooden ship with an iron ship, but they did not know that after changing the sail power to the propeller propulsion, the entire hull structure had to be greatly changed.

Moreover, their design ideals are too conservative, the hull is only about 80 meters long, and the weapons carried are still the cannons that are fixed on the sides of the past, which is not much new.

If Loren Hill had designed it, the last battleship of World War II, the Iowa class, would be 270 meters long, with a displacement of about 50,000 tons, and a 406 mm 50 times caliber main gun that could smash the small ship of the kind of Rulna into pieces with a single shot.

Although the craftsmanship of the current Ivar world is not yet standard and accurate, with the existence of extraordinary magic, the power of explosions and cannonballs will only be greater than in previous lives.

Based on the current technology, Loren Hill deduced that Dayas would not be able to build a test ship until one year at the earliest, and it was estimated that it would take three years for a full-fledged design to be available. And three years is enough time for her to do too much, besides, the country of mages doesn't just mean Urna, doesn't it?
