"So...... What do you want from me?"

Nina asked with a smile narrowing her eyes.

Kelis subconsciously glanced at Daphne, and then spoke, "One price, three million gold coins, or exchange for items of equal value, such as rare gems, powerful magic weapons, and a giant three-masted sailing ship made of alchemy materials." ”

Ninaha burst out laughing, her expression a little odd.

"Maybe you should talk to Uncle Robert or Uncle John about this deal, in all of Port Modris, the only ones who can easily give out three million gold coins are the Robert family, and the only ones who can exchange the three-masted galleon with a magic weapon that satisfies you. ”

Nina sneered, looked at Marquis Frank and Marquis Robert in the center of the hall, and then took a sip of red wine.

"I can introduce you to it. ”

"This ......"

Kelis's expression was a little embarrassed, if they could, they would naturally choose to trade with powerful families, but Daphne's identity was too sensitive, and so was that vein.

That vein was the wealth of the Rand family, and Rand later betrayed the Imperial Navy and became the first mate of the Sword and Rose, and the Eagle Empire has reclaimed the glory bestowed on the Rand family, in other words, the Rand family is no longer a nobleman.

Those big nobles can find out these things through the ore veins, so they will choose some small nobles to trade.

"I think you should know me well, I'm just a viscountess, and besides that, I'm the niece of an earl, and you think I can take out three million gold coins and buy a vein of sapphire?"

Nina pondered for a moment and spoke.

"Maybe we can trade in a different way, you just don't have the power to mine the veins, and I do...... I can help you mine the veins, and I want 50% of the gold coins I earn. ”

Kelis frowned, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

"I don't understand what you mean, ma'am, you know, a medium-sized vein can earn hundreds of thousands of gold coins a year, and you just want to use the power of mining to get half of the income? You know, you are not the only nobleman in Port Modris!"

"If you don't have the power to mine, you won't even get half of it, or can you go to the other nobles and see how much they are willing to share with you?"

Nina sneered, she put her glass down and stood up, wanting to leave.

Kelis's face was very ugly, he clenched his glass tightly, and his breath became rapid.

"Wait, ma'am. ”

Before Nina could leave, an elegant voice came, causing Nina to pause involuntarily, and she turned her head to look at Daphne beside Kelis.

"Don't you know what else is going on, lady?"

Nina asked impatiently, pretending not to know Daphne's identity.

"I'm interested in what you said about the co-op deal, maybe we can talk about it again. ”

Daphne said with a smile, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and Nina involuntarily sat back, and a thought suddenly rose in her heart to hear what Daphne had to say...... Then, promise her.

As the pirate queen of the Crystal Sea, Daphne was able to earn a lot of gold through raiding and other means, but that didn't mean she had enough gold.

In particular, the study of sorcery, the enhancement of the Sword and the Rose, and even the purchase of pieces such as Heart of the Ocean and some other mysterious items need to be supported by a large amount of gold.

No amount of gold was enough to mess around in the Central Sea, so Daphne thought about selling the sapphire vein contract.

However, the way Nina said just now is also very good, Kelis himself is a merchant, and she has been completely controlled, she can completely transport the gold coins of Port Modris through Kelis.

Even, after obtaining the right to mine the veins, let Kelis sell the quarried rough stones, so that she can even earn more gold coins.

Daphne looked at Nina, who had already sat down, and a smile flashed in her eyes, because the Admiral John of Port Modriss was nearby, so she didn't dare to use too much strength, if it attracted the attention of an Admiral, Daphne knew that her fate would not be too good.

But even a small amount of power was enough to guide Nina to do what she said.

The power of the Book of Charm is not only to increase Daphne's charm, but also to charm men.

Andy glanced at Nina, who sat down next to her and gently reached out and took one of Nina's hands.

A force silently entered Nina's body, and Nina's body shook, and the eyes that looked at Daphne changed somewhat.

"Huh?"

Daphne gave her a puzzled look, then her eyes fell on Andy, and she smiled at him.

Andy's expression was a little dazed, and he moved his body uneasily.

"Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me? What? Interested in my man?"

Nina snorted coldly, although she didn't know what was going on, it looked like Daphne had secretly done something to herself.

Daphne smiled and looked away from Andy's body, she didn't think much about it, but she felt that the man next to Nina was a little unsimple, maybe it was Nina's guard.

"Madam, I'm interested in the way you just talked about cooperation, but I can't accept that I want to take half of the gold coins for just one vein mining right. ”

Daphne spoke slowly, she didn't know what Nina thought, but if she wanted to take half of the proceeds, she would definitely not agree.

As Kelis said, although only the nobles have the qualifications to mine the veins, there are many nobles in Port Modris.

However, Nina is a woman with aristocratic status, and her husband is dead, so Daphne is easier to control than those nobles with large families.

"If you go to other nobles, believe me, they will take seventy or even eighty percent of the gold coins, you are just foreign merchants, you have no noble status, even if you join the Chamber of Commerce, the result is the same. ”

What Nina said was the truth, people like Kelis, who did not have an aristocratic status, joined the Chamber of Commerce, and in the matter of sapphire vein mining, they would only be able to bear an additional fee for handing over to the Chamber of Commerce.

"Issei, I can give you Ishei, Lady Nina. ”

Daphne thought for a moment and spoke.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, ma'am, you can think about it, in this transaction, you only need to provide the status of a nobleman, about the mining of ore veins and the transportation and sale of sapphires, without any payment from you, just like that, you can get tens of thousands of gold coins every year. ”

Daphne gave Nina a deep look, "Tens of thousands of gold coins are enough for you to do a lot of things, isn't it? If you can't accept it, then I'll have to go to the other nobles, I don't think they will refuse me." ”

Daphne suddenly stroked her hair and smiled, and at this moment, even Nina had a feeling of heartbeat.

Nina frowned, as if thinking about Daphne's words, and after a moment, she suddenly smiled.

"Okay, but I'll take a look at the vein contract first, after all, that sapphire vein only exists in your mouths. ”

"Of course, noble lady, I hope we have a good time working together. ”

Daphne laughed contentedly, and she said something to Kelis, who nodded, stood up, and walked out.

"The contract is not mine, we will have the escort send it over, and if there is no problem, we can sign the contract after the banquet. ”

Daphne said to Nina, her eyes lit up as she looked up the stairs on the second floor.

"The timing was just right. ”

Andy and Nina turned around and saw a young and beautiful aristocratic girl sitting down slowly on the stairs on the second floor.

The girl wore a necklace on her chest, on which was a large sapphire, in which there seemed to be faint stars twinkling.

"Is that the Stone of Destiny? It was already given to Jessica......"

Andy's eyes narrowed, he could feel that there was a mysterious power hidden in the gem on Jessica's chest, and he stole a look at Daphne and saw that her eyes were equally full of surprise and greed.

As if sensing Andy's gaze, Daphne turned her head and saw Andy peeking at her, so the corners of her mouth hooked up with a smile and bit her lip at him.

Andy turned his head and took a deep breath.

"Miss Jessica is down!"

"Oh my God, she's so beautiful!"

"God's handiwork!"

From time to time, boasting came from the hall, and it had to be said that against the backdrop of the Stone of Destiny and the gorgeous navy blue dress, Jessica did attract everyone's attention, even the real stars would be eclipsed in front of her.

Jessica walked down the stairs, and John greeted her and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Happy birthday, baby. ”

"Thank you, father. ”

Jessica smiled shyly as she looked at the guests in the hall, and some of them were a little shy with their hot gazes, so she lowered her head.

John laughed, beckoning to little Robert, who straightened his dress and walked over.

"Uncle John. ”

John nodded, he took a step forward, picked up a glass of red wine, looked at all the guests, and his low but majestic voice reached everyone's ears.

"I think you've all heard that tonight is not only Jessica's birthday party, but also her engagement party with Marquis Robert's son Allen, and three months later, Port Modris will have the biggest and liveliest wedding ever. ”

There was an uproar in the hall, they didn't expect that Alan and Jessica's wedding date was so close, and there might be some secret hidden in it.

However, as John's words fell, the applause and blessings still rang out, and John nodded in satisfaction and motioned for the waiters on the side to continue to accompany.

Then many new waiters and maids appeared, bringing with them good wine and delicious food.

Some people who knew Jessica well stepped forward to bless her, and Jessica looked a little tired of coping, and then Alan invited her to do a dance, which set the atmosphere of the banquet even bigger.

After Jessica appeared, Anna and Margaret's eyes barely took off the jewel on her chest, in fact, not only the two of them, but each noble lady fantasized about wearing the stone of destiny.

The huge sapphires, which contain the light of the stars, have a fatal attraction to these women.

"What is Andre doing? Why haven't there been riots yet......

Margaret muttered, and she looked at the necklace around Jessica's neck and began to figure out how to get the gem into her hands.

This kind of calculation and stealing was the first time for Margaret, and she felt great.

"It's not just Andler, Andy hasn't shown up yet...... Did he hide?"

Although Anna also liked the gem compared to Margaret, she was still more worried about Andy.

"Don't worry, I think I've guessed where he is. ”

Margaret snorted softly, she glanced at Nina and Andy, and whispered in Anna's ear.

"That woman just now, and that man, hmph, it's very likely that it's Andy and his little lover...... It's just a shape-shifting potion, and that's how I got out of Buno Harbor in the first place. ”

Margaret blushed as she spoke, thinking of the first time she met Andy.

"Really?"

Anna was a little stunned, and then angry, so that the woman was provoking her just now?

"Damn Andy!

Anna scolded resentfully and glared at Andy viciously.

Andy, who was thinking, was suddenly shocked, he subconsciously turned his head and saw Anna's vicious gaze in the distance, and his body trembled.

After a while, Kelis came back from outside, and Andy looked at the castle gate, where a strong man dressed as a guard was standing, and Andy felt that his face was somewhat familiar, it should be a crew member of the Sword and Rose.

Daphne walked over and handed Nina a parchment-like contract, and she wasn't afraid that she would regret taking the contract anyway, and Nina was by her side.

Andy leaned over to take a look, and it had the signatures and wax marks of the Governor of Port Modris, the Chamber of Commerce, and a few other nobles.

The deed details the location of the vein and the time it was sealed, as well as proof of ownership.

The owner of the contract is the Rand family, but it is the nobles of the Flying Eagle Empire, and in this situation, the relationship between the Flying Eagle Empire and the Roma Empire has deteriorated dramatically, which means that whoever gets it can own this vein.

"How's it going, ma'am, I think we can sign a contract?"

Daphne looked at Nina and asked.

Nina rolled up the contract and put it in her arms, and instead of giving it to Daphne, she smiled with a smile that made Daphne's heart beat wildly.
