"Your Majesty Irene." Randolph looked at Erin sitting on the throne and whispered, he never imagined that Erin would become the new king.

Erin just raised her eyes and glanced at Randolph, then smiled and asked, "Are you the new Pope?" What's the matter with me? ”

At this time, Randolph was already dressed in white papal attire, so it was not difficult to recognize.

There was no sarcasm in the tone of Erin's words just now, but in Randolph's eyes, the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of disdain for himself and the church behind him, as if to say: Wasn't it very good to carry it before? Why did you come to me now and bow your head?

Randolph mentally scolded the previous pope again and asked him to pick up the mess.

Randolph coughed lightly a few times and went straight to the point: "About reconciliation." ”

"We are willing to pay for the mistakes of the previous pope, to avoid bigger mistakes, so that we can both get along better."

"Pay?" The smile on Erin's face widened, and she glanced at Sophia, who was standing nearby.

Sophia nodded, stood up, walked in front of Randolph, and said with a smile on her face, "I wonder what price the church is willing to pay?" ”

"What do you think will cost us a thaw?" Randolph asked rhetorically.

This is a small trick of trading, let the other party quote, avoid exposing their hole cards at the beginning, and avoid the other party can bargain in subsequent negotiations.

"Your Excellency the Pope is not sincere." Sophia took half a step back, looking like she didn't have to talk about it, she was not a rookie, she naturally knew Randolph's careful thoughts, now that they were in an advantageous position, there was no need to let each other go, they had to get an inch.

After Randolph's face changed a few times, he took the initiative to speak: "How about 400 million silver dragon coins?" ”

The silver dragon coin in Randolph's mouth refers to the currency issued by the Silver Dragon Empire, which is rumored to have been established with the help of an ancient silver dragon, so they also took the silver dragon as the name of their country, and the silver dragon empire has been established for nearly 10,000 years, and it is almost the oldest existing empire on this continent, and it is also the most powerful country among all human countries now.

Because of the strength of the country, the silver dragon coin has also become the common currency in the human kingdom of this continent, and almost all human countries have established a corresponding monetary system with it to facilitate foreign trade transactions between countries.

In terms of exchange rate, one silver dragon coin can be exchanged for six gold coins of Erin's kingdom, and if converted, it means that Randolph intends to cover this matter with 2.4 billion gold coins.

"Sincerity is still not enough." Sophia shook.

"Then madam, how much is enough?" Randolph didn't expect to be able to take it the first time he made an offer.

"One Billion Silver Dragon Coins." Sophia said lightly.

"No way, it's absolutely impossible!" Randolph denied on the spot: "All the funds we have in the kingdom add up to less than a billion silver dragon coins. ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately added: "We can get up to 500 million silver dragon coins. ”

Sophia did not immediately agree, but after some maneuvering, she used her advantages to constantly suppress and fight for the interests of her own side.

"Six hundred and fifty million." Sophia said in a calm tone.

"620 million." Randolph almost gritted his teeth as he squeezed the words out of his teeth.

"That's all the money we have here, and I can't give it any more!"

Sophia didn't argue this time, but looked back at Erin and asked for her opinion with her eyes. Before this, she had already made preparations, the other party's funds were indeed almost so much, and under her pressure step by step, Sophia also believed that the other party had reached the limit, and no matter how much she squeezed it, she couldn't squeeze anything.

After seeing that Sophia didn't speak, Randolph also set his eyes on Erin, and now as long as Erin nodded, the matter could be revealed.

"Huh?" The tip of Erin's nose snorted, and then she lowered the slender hand that had been dragging her chin and almost wanted to speak.

Randolph also held his breath, his nostrils slightly dilated, which was a sign of nervousness.

Finally Erin spoke, but her words poured a bucket of ice water on Randolph's heart in the heat of summer.

"I think the price of the billion was pretty good at the beginning."

Sophia's eyes widened slightly, and she pursed her mouth and didn't speak.

Randolph reacted greatly, but he didn't know how to react, and for a moment he seemed restless in place.

"You assassinated me, the king of a country, don't you think you can get this matter done for a little money?" There was a hint of unkindness in Erin's tone, if it weren't for the fact that the roots of the church were too large, she would have been eager to pull this cancer out of her own country and make peace with the other party? That's just a way to get the most out of your own sake.

Randolph kept his mouth shut, he didn't dare to pick up the subject.

I had to respond from another angle: "One billion is too much, and all our money doesn't add up to that much." ”

Sophia also looked at Erin with some confusion at this time, this time she felt that Erin was in a bit of a hurry, and she had to take her time to boil frogs in warm water, and she forced the other party to hurry up and open directly, so there was no benefit on her side.

"Then go to your church and ask for it." Erin said lightly.

Randolph: "......"

Randolph was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! But I have one condition, hand over the Pope in the dungeon to us! ”

Erin nodded in agreement, "Yes." ”

After the two sides reached an agreement, Randolph was like a deflated balloon, although the goal was achieved, but the price paid was indeed greater. He didn't expect that in the end, Erin would quote a price as high as one billion, and it felt as uncomfortable as being stuck in the neck.

……

After Randolph left, Sophia couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, Irene, why are you sure that the other party can accept it?" ”

"Because they had to say yes." Erin looked at Randolph's back and continued to answer: "The foundation of the Church of Light lies in faith, and faith needs the people, and now their reputation has collapsed in the mouths of the people, shaking the foundation of their religion. So even if you pay the price of a big one, you will save your reputation. ”

"Having caught this dead hole of theirs, they naturally have to accede to our request."

Sophia nodded knowingly, she didn't take this into account, she just thought about the problem from a business point of view, thinking about how much the other party's principal was, ignoring the possible impact of this aspect.

But...... Can Erin actually think of this, she is growing up so fast?

One billion silver dragon coins are equivalent to seven billion gold coins on his side, this appetite is really big, and this greedy character is really likable.

……

In addition to the queen of the palace, Randolph also quickly cheered up, and now that the core problem has been solved, he, the Pope, should also solve the other messes.
