Chapter 143: Trading
Outside the city of St. Ives, Ouyang Yu's army of 250,000 surrounded the original king, because Ouyang Yu's army came too fast, more than half of the Phoenix immigrants were blocked in the city, and they had to return to their homes in the city to wait for the judgment of fate.
Fortunately, the immigrants did not wait long before the good news came, and Governor Hope and Admiral Luther decided to surrender to Ouyang Yu, and one of the conditions of surrender was to ensure the safety of all the immigrants in the city.
In the barracks outside the city, Ouyang Yu looked at Governor Hope who groveled to him with a strange face, holding a telegram from the crown prince of the Phoenix Empire to himself, saying that it was a telegram rather than a love letter written by Danny to Ouyang Yu, the words were gorgeous and affectionate, it was simply a perfect score composition, if an ordinary girl saw it, she would definitely have a good impression of this crown prince, but Ouyang Yu was not, she was a woman on the outside, but she was always a pure man on the inside, so the love letter Danny wrote to her was only glanced at and thrown aside, but she still admired Danny's ability to give away a kingdom in order to pick up girls, and she would never be able to do itγ
Governor Hope smiled flatteringly: "Your Highness, the minister's task has been completed and I will retire, I have prepared all the things and materials, and you can send someone to hand over to the minister later." β
"Got it, go down. β
Ouyang Yu waved his hand, and Governor Hope bent down and saluted backwards and left.
Two hours later, Ouyang Yu's army marched into the city of St. Ives, announcing that the city had changed hands again, and that the former Gallic kingdom had changed its current Gallic occupation with a new owner.
According to the agreement between Ouyang Yu and the Imperial side, Governor Hope, Admiral Luther, and nearly 30,000 Imperial soldiers who laid down their arms and all Phoenix immigrants in Gaul, Ouyang Yu must ensure their safety and "escort" all the way to the occupied area of Ingla, which is adjacent to Gaul in the west.
In order to send the people from the imperial side away as soon as possible to carry out his own plan, Ouyang Yu put aside the reconstruction matter, and personally led the 50,000 army to spend half a month to "escort" Governor Hope and Admiral Luther, as well as 30,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of immigrants, to the border between Gaul and Ingera.
William, the fifth prince of the Phoenix Empire on the border, had been waiting for several days with an army of 30,000 people, and Ouyang Yu had his first meeting with William because of the handover.
The meeting place between the two sides was in the town on the Ingrid side, three kilometers close to the border, and it was agreed in advance that neither side could bring their troops within ten kilometers of the town, and could only carry an escort of no more than thirty people.
On October 14, 312 of the imperial calendar, Ouyang Yu rode into the border town in her Gass command car under the protection of thirty personal guards, accompanied by Governor Hope and Admiral Luther.
Ouyang Yu's convoy stopped in the center of the town, Ouyang Yu, who was dressed in military uniform, stepped out of the command car, and entered the town office in the center of the town under the guidance of the guards sent by William, the residents of the town had already been driven away, so there were no other people in the town office, after seeing Ouyang Yu walk in, William stood up and touched his chest with one hand, and bowed slightly, and smiled: " His Royal Highness Ouyang, I am William, I have long admired your name, and I found that you are a little more beautiful than rumored when I met you today, this military uniform completely shows your heroic spirit that is not lost to men, and I feel extremely honored to meet you. β
William's smile is very innocent, not the kind of smirk that doesn't smile, coupled with his handsome appearance and gentle temperament, it gives people the feeling of a spring breeze, William stretched out his right hand to Ouyang Yu after speaking, not a handshake, but the kiss that men in the other world show the most respect for women.
But Ouyang Yu didn't bird, he put his hands behind his back, what kind of person William is from the things he sent Seru Belia to do, you can understand a thing or two, he is a person who will do anything to achieve his ends, Ouyang Yu hates this kind of person the most, plus her inner male soul can't do anything else to kiss the back of her hand, so Ouyang Yu doesn't want to have any physical contact with William.
Ouyang Yu did not give face to William without the slightest anger, his expression naturally withdrew his right hand, and he still smiled and made a gesture to sit down, Ouyang Yu and William sat opposite each other, and the handover was done by the people below, and the two of them just had to drink tea and chat.
William personally poured a fragrant drink for Ouyang Yu and said: "Please taste it, this is the favorite milk tea of the noble girls in the imperial capital, the best black tea leaves, special smooth milk, long-term drinking can make women's skin more smooth, girls like to drink a cup when they are fine." β
Ouyang Yu just glanced at the milk tea and didn't even mean to stretch out his hand, because she suspected that William had necromancy or necromancer behind him, she didn't plan to touch anything from William, and William was so enthusiastic about himself that he almost had his purpose, Ouyang Yu didn't want to waste time with him and asked straight to the point: "If there is anything, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush and say something useless." β
William's city was extremely deep, Ouyang Yu treated him like this, he picked up the teacup, took a small sip and smiled: "Since His Highness likes to communicate like this, then I will also say it directly, can you give me back my assistant?"
"Are you talking about Selubellia?" Ouyang Yu asked knowingly.
"Yes, it's Selubellia, she seems to have some misunderstanding with you, can you leave her to me? β
"Misunderstanding? I don't think that's a misunderstanding. Ouyang Yu sneered: "His Royal Highness William, the Ming people don't say secret words, you and I know very well what happened in the rebel camp, you want me to release Selubelia, but what are you going to exchange with me?"
After Selubellia was captured, Ouyang Yu couldn't get anything from her mouth, she was very loyal to William, her teeth were very tight, Ouyang Yu tried all means to pry her mouth open, so it was better to use her to make a deal with William, in exchange for something useful to herself.
William put down his teacup and asked, "What do you want?" He was ready to be slaughtered, and it would be difficult for William to make such a concession with William's character, but Selubellia was too important to him to let him do it.
"Give me the magic crystal, if you want to exchange it for Selubelia, you must also give me at least ten tons of magic crystal. Ouyang Yu opened his mouth.
With the combination of alchemy technology research and existing equipment, Ouyang Yu also began to have a demand for the unique resource magic crystal in the other world, and the newly developed anti-armor gravity projectile of the Imperial Army in the south this time posed a serious threat to her armored forces, so Ouyang Yu must have countermeasures and defensive means, and the best countermeasures and defensive means are the local alchemy technology in the other world.
"Ten tons of magic crystals, Are you kidding Your Highness Ouyang? A mere subordinate is still a woman, Selubelia, she is not worth the price. β
The alchemy technology of the other world is based on the development and application of magic crystals, so magic crystals belong to the most important strategic materials, although the number of magic crystals mined every year is large, but the annual war consumes a lot, and it is impossible for William to pay ten tons of magic crystals for Selubelia.
"Two tons, two tons of magic crystals at most. William held out two fingers and landed on the ground to pay the money.
"Two tons is too little, eight tons. β
"Four tons. β
"Six tons can't be less. β
"Four tons, even one more gram I won't add more. β
"Well, four tons is four tons. β
Ouyang Yu made a very regretful appearance, in fact, she has already made a lot of money, the price of four tons of magic crystals on the market is now as high as three million three hundred and seventy thousand silver coins, and the control of magic crystals in various countries is very strict, very few people who flow into the private market can not buy so much at one time even if they have money, they can exchange three million three hundred and seventy thousand silver coins for one person, and the person who is exchanged for it is originally the buyer, Ouyang Yu is equivalent to a white wolf with empty gloves, and the cost of a dime is not spent in vain.
The handover of the people next to him was almost over, and Ouyang Yu's goal had been achieved, so he got up and said, "His Royal Highness William, I will leave here, I hope we will not meet again in the future." β
William had a kind and smiling expression from beginning to end, and he also got up and said, "I really hope that I can have more contact and communication with His Highness Ouyang. β
"Hmph. It was Ouyang Yu's back who answered William.
After Ouyang Yu's convoy was far away, and Governor Hope and Admiral Luther were also sent away, a mysterious man wearing a gray robe, hiding his face and body, and holding a long staff in his hand walked behind William.
"What an interesting woman that reminds me of Queen Karen of the United Kingdom of Higra on the Western Continent three hundred years ago. "The mysterious man's voice sounded harsh like the rubbing of old metal.
"Queen Karen, you're talking about the third queen of the Proud Emperor?"
"Yes, it's her, it's a pity that such a good woman married that scum from Aotian. The mysterious man's tone was very emotional.
"Hmph!" William glared at the mysterious man in displeasure, but he could only stare at him, so he still needed the mysterious man's help in many things.
The mysterious man didn't care about William's glare, he picked up Ouyang Yu's untouched milk tea and put it under his nose and sniffed it, "Your Highness, if you don't mind, I plan to make this woman into a corpse concubine, a beautiful woman is always easy to age, only an immortal corpse concubine can make her beauty perpetuate." β
"Whatever you want, but there are many guards around her, and if you want to take her away, I'm afraid it's impossible. β
"Hehehe...... Your Highness, although the world has changed drastically, we necromancers are still the representatives of the disaster, so just wait and see. β
