Act Seventy-Seven. negotiation

At this moment, with the death of the Fog Dragon, the fog that has shrouded the forest for thousands of years will eventually dissipate, only to see that the fog seems to be blown by a gust of wind, gradually becoming lighter, although it still remains, but I believe that it will not be long before this misty forest will become like other forests.

"The fog has lifted."

Princess Ellifils muttered in a low voice as she watched the vicissitudes of change.

"Most of the monsters in this forest have lost the balance of the Fog Dragon, and I'm afraid they will also be restless for a while, so we should act quickly while taking advantage of this gap."

Shiloh knew that the leaderless monsters would soon swarm towards the source of magic from the World Tree Bud, but that would be a week later at the earliest, and the magic residue left by the Mist Dragon would gradually escape within a week, and at that time, Astor had already finished fighting with Wendlan and evacuated the forest, leaving Wendland's army to face these difficult monsters was also a detail of Shiloh's plan, but before thinking about that, he had more important things.

"Mr. William."

He stopped the El youth who was carefully examining the Tears of the Mist.

"Now that the Tears of the Fog are in hand, it's time to talk about the deal between us."

“...... I know. ”

Hearing Shiloh's words, William nodded, carefully put the Tears of Fog into the special alchemy container, and then turned to Shiloh, his face no longer had the original relaxed smile, replaced by a slightly serious expression.

"So, Mr. Ian Gray, what do you want?"

"I want nothing more......"

Shiloh shook his head, he looked at Princess Elifils, and then spoke.

"It's Astor who needs Charandel's help."

"What do you mean......"

William speculated about Shiloh's intentions, and he naturally understood the series of interests of the nobles, but William needed more details.

"To tell you the truth, at the moment, Astel is indeed at a disadvantage in the battle with Wendland, if there is no external interference, then Astor is likely to lose greater benefits in the next war."

Shiloh couldn't help but say the word "ruined", only vaguely in such ambiguous language.

"So, what does it have to do with Chalandel whether Astel wins or loses?"

William was calm as if he were another person at the moment, and even Luluan beside him was too frightened to speak.

"Both Wendland and Astel are neighbors of Charandel and have trade with us, and if they meddle in the affairs between the two countries at will, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among several other countries."

William was referring mainly to the Northern Olympusian Alliance, which bordered Astrel, a pan-commercial community that had never been very friendly with Charandel, and if Charander interfered in the internal affairs of other countries, the merchants of the Northern Olisses Alliance would not just sit idly by.

"Besides, I'm just a small nobleman in Charandel, and I can't make a voice in the Supreme Council, Mr. Ian Gray, don't you think you're looking for the wrong person to come to us?"

"No, as long as it is a member of the Royal Alchemist Society, it is impossible to be ignored so simply, the game between nobles is sometimes not only so simple, as far as I know, the Supreme Council now has serious differences about this war, and the two factions are constantly arguing and fighting, and there has been no conclusion."

Shiloh stated based on the history of the game that he saw a slight look of surprise on William's face, probably wondering why a small priest of Astle would know about the dispute in the Chalandel Supreme Council, Shiloh didn't care, he continued.

"Mr. William, you don't need to be a leader, you just need to convey what happened here."

"Convey ......"

William groped his chin, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

"I can do that about conveying this, but what do we gain by helping Astelle?"

That's it.

In the history that Shiloh knows, Charander hesitated because of this, and finally remained on the sidelines until the rout of Astel on all fronts before trembling and sending troops to reap the remaining benefits, but this involves the interests of Aster, and he is a low-status priest naturally cannot speak for it, he looked at Princess Eliefils, hoping that Her Royal Highness the princess can understand what he thinks.

"Northland..... There are two high-quality pyroxene. ”

Princess Elyfils didn't wait for Shiloh to remind her, and then she continued, much to Shiloh's surprise.

"As far as I know, although Charandel has unparalleled glow processing technology, it suffers from the lack of excellent original mineral deposits, and has always been purchased from neighboring countries at a high price, right?"

The knowledge she had learned at the Trestan Fortress came in handy at this moment, and Princess Elipels said calmly, looking like a seasoned businessman.

"If Charandel supports, then the deposits mined by these two pyroxene mines in the next thirty years will be sold to Charandel at a low price first."

Hearing this, William's and Shiloh's eyes lit up.

The abundant and cheap pyroxene deposits that William heard about were simply a boon to Charander, and no matter what nobles, if they could negotiate this deal, their status in the country would change qualitatively, which was also what he wanted.

And Shiloh admires the business acumen of Her Royal Highness the Princess, although the two mines in the north are rich in reserves, but Astel itself does not have much spare power to mine, so the output has not been much, and although the ore produced here is of excellent quality, it is difficult to process, and it is rarely used in Astor country, but most of it is bought by the profiteers of Northern Ollinsis and then sold to Charandel at a high price.

In this way, Charandel can get the coveted glow resources, and Astel itself does not lose too much of its original interests, which can be said to be a good deal.

"This ......"

William pretended to be distressed, as if he wanted to lower the price again, but Her Royal Highness the Princess's next words made the young man of the El clan immediately change his face.

"In addition, I also hope that Astor can form a strategic community with Chalandel to reach military, commercial and cultural exchanges and cooperation, we can reduce bilateral tariffs, and at the same time exchange military knowledge, as far as I know, Astor is very interested in several special arms, Charander is very interested, right?"

For a moment, Shiloh even began to wonder if Her Royal Highness the princess in front of her had also crossed over, because what she was saying now was too advanced for this era, although a discerning person could understand the benefits after careful consideration, but under the limitations of this historical vision, he could already be regarded as a rare political genius.

"Charander has always had friction with the Elven Court in the Far East, and if Astel falls, then Charander will face a situation where he will be surrounded by three great powers, which I believe the Supreme Council does not want to see."

Princess Eliefils analyzes the form sharply.

"After forming an alliance, I hope to obtain some blueprints of Charandel's magic guide machinery for us to develop, and at the same time, we will also send special troops such as the Bow Spirit Envoy to Charander, and the two countries can also exchange their own resources, I wonder if this suggestion is valuable?"

Hearing the words of Her Royal Highness the Princess, William was silent.
