Chapter Twenty-Four: The Real Big Event
"That's right, but I don't think you agree to it. Ranwen said that β in short, you will talk about this reparation first. β
Princess Nana shrugged her shoulders, then took the juice from her personal maid Linari, and drank it to herself with great happiness.
"Lord Augustus, do you want to eat first?"
Feeling like trembling, cautiously touching something, Izawa asked.
Izawa was very scared at this time, that monster-like girl was not afraid of Su Liang and them, she spoke loudly, and she said that kind of bold language, it didn't mean that he also had that kind of courage.
He wasn't afraid that he would die, but he was afraid that Su Liang and the two people around him would overturn the entire Rosargues City in a fit of rage.
Having seen that kind of Cheng DΓΉ fight in the fighting arena just now, he was very sure that Su Liang and the others had this strength.
"It's all agreed upon before lunch."
"In this case, then I will speak on behalf of His Majesty the King."
Ize stood up and was a little more solemn, and Dorla, Darker and others on the side also followed suit.
On the field, Princess Nana and Su Liang and others still didn't care.
"Three weeks ago, we waged an unjust war against the Oron Mountains because of our greed for wealth, mutilating countless Ornon Mountain monsters, destroying forests, disturbing the peace of the mountains, and killing tens of thousands of heroes in the Rosallgues Empire.
Hereby, I, Longinos VI, sincerely apologize to His Excellency Solean, King of the Oren Mountains.
Due to my own negligence, the consequences are like this, so according to the amount of compensation demanded by His Excellency Su Liang, he should be paid, and an additional 100,000 catties of grain and the Orun Mountains should be given. β
After saying these words very solemnly, Izawa smiled back.
"I apologize for the other documents to be signed yet, but I'll be here tomorrow with my things."
In the face of absolute power, even if you are very unwilling, you can only accompany each other with a smile.
In the past, it was always others who treated Ize like this, but now Izawa himself didn't expect that he would have such a day.
"There's too little food."
Augustus looked at Izawa and said very calmly.
"100,000 catties of food is enough to feed tens of thousands of people for a long time, but don't forget, we are not human beings."
"But we are also a nation of men, Lord Augustus. After giving so much to your country, it is already our limit to be able to take out so much food. You know, we have to stock up on some food in case of winter disasters that can happen at any time. β
Whenever Izawa starts discussing diplomacy and the Empire, there is always a sense of courage.
"The empire has seven provinces in the south, and each province pays more than half a million catties of grain to the state every year, not to mention the provinces in other regions. Duke Ize really thinks that 100,000 catties of grain is already the limit? You are underestimating your own country. β
Augustus, as one of the few people in the highest power center of the empire in the past, is second only to Princess Nana in his understanding of the empire.
Izawa's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Princess Nana, but saw that Princess Nana was very happy with the juice, and there was an urge to grab this girl and throw it out at once.
The Empire's taxes are not a secret, after all, it is easy to calculate more by knowing how much food a family pays in a year.
"Three hundred thousand grains, I hope Lord Augustus will consider those civilians in our country, if you know our taxes, then you must know that every winter the two northern provinces of our country will be affected by the winter cold."
"800,000 grains."
Augustus naturally knew what kind of disasters would occur in the country every year, but he knew even better how much surplus food was currently in the imperial treasury.
"Five hundred thousand! Couldn't be more. β
Ize looked at Augustus and gritted his teeth.
"Eight hundred thousand!"
"Lord Augustus!"
"800,000 grains is already the lowest, if it is lower, Duke Ize will consider the consequences."
Augustus didn't bother to say anything more, and directly said threatening words.
Originally, it was a bandit-like way to ask for compensation, so there was no need to engage in a pointless battle of words.
"This"
Izawa clenched his fists, his chest rising and falling, obviously very angry, but helpless.
"Okay, I'll take care of the paperwork and bring it to you, Lord Augustus, tomorrow, and then sign the contract."
After all, it is a pointless argument, no matter how much you struggle and are unwilling, you can only choose to compromise in the end.
"In that case, it's my turn."
Princess Nana didn't care about what happened just now, and after hearing Izawa's last words, she put the juice in her hand aside and looked at Su Liang with her eyes.
As the prime minister of the empire, although Princess Nana is in charge of politics, military, diplomacy, economy and other things, he will never take the initiative to interfere, unless there is something that makes her very dissatisfied.
Although she didn't pay attention to Duke Ize's cousin just now, it was something she had expected a long time ago, and even if she stood up, the final result would still not change, so she didn't bother to interject, let alone care.
"So, let's talk about the really big thing."
Princess Nana sat down on the sand, and Linari on one side carefully placed a sheepskin scroll on the table in front of Su Liang.
In any case, from the mouth of this monster princess, she is obviously indifferent to the matter of reparations, and she doesn't take it seriously at all.
Izawa looked at the imperial prime minister, and gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but when he thought of what the imperial prime minister had done on weekdays, he immediately thought of the ugly and indifferent nature under the girl's lovely face.
Augustus brought the parchment scroll to Su Liang's eyes and fully revealed its contents.
"Those guys haven't been taught enough lessons."
After reading the parchment scroll, Su Liang spoke slowly.
Angels, an offshoot of the evolution of the human race in the 'Pantheons' game, belong to the hidden race.
The strongest angel is the twelve-winged archangel, and the level is also one hundred, and it is more powerful than Su Liang's golden dragon race in some Cheng dΓΉ, but it is also very weak in some places.
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a 100% perfect race.
"Can you kill them?"
Iya also saw the contents of the scroll and asked Su Liang.
"Well, but grab a few and give them to Helly as a pet."
Catching angels and going back as pets is something that Su Liang can say, but Princess Nana knows the contents of the scroll at the scene, even Duke Ize doesn't know it, so it didn't cause much shock.
"So, do you mean to be neutral with the Mercenary Guild?"
Su Liang looked at Princess Nana and said.
"Of course not, didn't I say that? Now we are talking about the big thing, about us killing the Church and the messengers of other nations against them. β
