Hearing Fasqi say the word conditions, Duke understood that the Sea Clan was tempted, and then there was a basis for negotiation!

"Your Excellency Fasqi, the conditions of Storm Castle are very simple, that is, there is money to earn together, and everyone can cooperate in business. You must also know the threat of the Sea of Death to humanity, if you sea people can open a channel in the Sea of Death, or protect the merchant ships of Storm Fortress, then we at Storm Fortress are willing to pay you a certain amount of money and sell your weapons, such as the powerful storm armor worn by the warriors around me, what do you think of this suggestion?"

After Duke finished speaking, he specially asked a storm soldier to come forward and show it, the metallic luster of the storm armor and the beautiful magic runes on it, all of which told that it was one of the most powerful armors on the continent.

Fasiqi naturally knew about this new type of battle armor, because of the previous sneak attack of the Sea Clan, if it weren't for the fact that this kind of sea clan weapon could not be cut through at all, it is estimated that the hydraulic factory would have already fallen, so through the report of going back to the Sea Clan, Fa Siqi can be said to have a fresh memory of this kind of battle armor.

It's just that Duke is really willing to sell this powerful armor to the Sea Clan? If it does, he doesn't worry that the Sea Clan will wear the Storm Armor to counterattack the Storm Castle and eventually burn himself?

For Fasqi's question, Duke certainly has this kind of defense, and the armor sold to the Sea Clan must be a "monkey version" with much worse hardness and thickness, to ensure that it can be broken by the alloy weapons that Stormcastle will train in the future. At the same time, the sea tribe uses metal plate armor has a natural drawback, that is, the corrosion of metal by seawater, with the technology of this world, the plate armor will be almost scrapped in a year or two at most, so if you want to control the sea tribe to prevent backlash, Duke has a lot of means, so don't worry about it at all.

Fasqi had been staring at Duke for the rest of the time, thinking about the interests of the Sea Clan if she agreed. After thinking about it, Fasqi felt that the benefits of agreeing to it outweighed the disadvantages for the Sea Clan, although the elven magic weapon was powerful and resistant to the corrosion of seawater, it was too precious, and there was no way to equip all of them.

At present, in terms of the smelting technology of the Sea Clan on the island, the production capacity and process are also very limited, and there is a very large gap in weapons, especially armor. Although many of the Sea Tribes have hard scales and skin, which can play a defensive role, they can wear an extra layer of armor for protection, and I believe that no one will refuse.

"We Sea Clan can work with you to open a passage in the Sea of Death to the depths of the continent. However, you also know that the biggest threat to the Sea of Death is the alien beasts, which are not under the control of our sea clan, and even the sea clan faces the threat of alien beasts many times, and the risk of securing the route is also very large, so we must get enough benefits. ”

Hearing this, Duke's face showed a profiteer's smile, and he said with a full promise: "No problem, as long as you can agree, the details are easy to say!"

There is no doubt about the profits that come with sea freight, and it is a way to transport large volumes and extremely low transportation costs. Even if the earth enters the modern society, sea transportation is still an irreplaceable mode of transportation, and the arrival of the medieval Age of Discovery has also brought huge profits to those countries who explored the sea one step earlier.

As long as Stormcastle can handle the shipping, the profit from porcelain sales will skyrocket again, and at the same time, Duke intends to liberate the female labor force of Stormcastle and create the revolutionary Jenny spinning machine, when the spinning efficiency will exceed that of this world by a hundred times, and the quality will be better, Stormcastle will blow the horn of industrialization, dumping the continent of Europa by sea, and then Duke will really have the time to lie down and count the gold coins.

Of course, the reality is also in front of Duke, that is, the shipbuilding technology of Storm Castle is currently zero, and the details of the cooperation and the distribution of profits need to be negotiated for a long time.

However, Duke can afford to wait for this, after all, it is already very amazing to create the Sea of Death route by himself. It's a bit impractical to think that you can do it all in a short period of time. And Duke also needs the Sea Clan to clean up the route and draw the charts in advance, after all, Duke is really starting from scratch.

With a preliminary consensus, then the next negotiations were not so tense, and even Duke asked Alan to release the Sea Clan Commander from the dungeon and attend the dinner party to receive Fasqi. Thinking about the enemy who was still fighting to the death some time ago, how long did it take to eat at the same table, which really verified the sentence, there are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

That night, the Sea Clan had already brought the ransom of 10,000 gold coins, and at the same time reached a preliminary consensus with Duke, that is, the Storm Armor was priced at a set of 500 gold coins, and the Sea Clan used the method of detecting the channel and drawing the sea chart to pay the gold coins of the Storm Armor in the early stage.

At the same time, Duke also liberalized the metal trade, which means that the sea tribe can exchange various metals, magic crystals, and various jewelry luxury items unique to the bottom of the sea to exchange materials with Stormcastle. Although Duke is not interested in any luxury jewelry, there are many rich people on the mainland, and those people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy the best jewelry of the Sea Clan, which is also a lucrative transaction.

The two parties, who were originally enemies guarding each other, talked happily in such a dinner, and both sides basically achieved their desired goals, and at the same time, Duke also ushered in an even more difficult task, that is, building ships!

On the banks of the Seine, Duke sent the three sea clans to the back of the water's edge, Fasqi looked back at Duke and said: "Although we have reached an agreement, I still want to say that the humans on the continent are very wary of other races, and it is really rare for a lord like you to take the initiative to trade with us." ”

"Then you can look at me as a merchant without being a lord, then you can understand me very well. ”

Hearing Duke say this, Fasqi suddenly realized, isn't everything this lord did just a merchant's behavior?

"It's quite rare to think of a lord as a merchant. ”

When Duke heard this, he just laughed and said nothing, if it weren't for the fact that Stormcastle was poor as pants before, would he have made money with such an idea? It's the same in every world, having money is not everything, but not having money is absolutely impossible.

"Alright, this time I will go back and inform our lord, and then sign a formal agreement with you to discuss the details, and wish us a happy cooperation. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. Duke smiled back, and watched Fasqi leave.

After seeing that the Sea Clan was all gone, Alan approached and said, "Lord Lord, have you really decided to cooperate with the Sea Clan, they are not reliable. ”

"Are we all that honest? just take what we need, Alan, you need to know that the ocean is the future of this world. ”

After saying this, Duke turned and walked towards the city, the cold wind outside was too cold. Alan looked at Duke's back, but the expression on his face was very complicated, he recently felt more and more that the lord was unfathomable, how did he do this?
