Chapter 18: Reaching an agreement
The environment under the ice lotus tree is extremely beautiful, but anyone who hears the conversation between Jerry and Catherine will probably feel terrible.
Catherine's face was calm, as if she was saying something innocuous and innocent: "Wasn't you a stonemason before, how can you still transform armor?"
Jerry's face didn't change, and he wasn't embarrassed at all: "My teacher doesn't do his job, he can order everything, and so do I." ”
Catherine nodded and said casually, "Oh, then one nine, give you one percent of the profit." ”
Jerry sat on the ground, no matter how cold the ice under his buttocks was, he immediately shook his head: "No way, twenty-eight is the best, you two." ”
"You're only two!"
Catherine raised her eyebrows, and it seemed that she was about to get angry immediately, but immediately returned to her usual look: "Even if you want to give you two, I won't give it to you! Forging requires cost, you are just processing, and it is already good to give you one percent." ”
Jerry pursed his lips and said, "Don't say you didn't expect that less than half of the materials are enough when forging, so after I transform it, it is still much stronger than the original." In this way, I will suffer a loss, three or seven points are good, you three and I seven. ”
Catherine felt her heart beat faster, how could she not have imagined that the chain mail that had been transformed by Jerry was too much stronger than the original, even if the original forging material was reduced to thirty percent, the effect was much better than the existing one.
And she originally planned to do this, after all, not everyone can afford high-grade armor, but if it is ordinary armor that does not exceed the price too much, but the protection effect is much better, then it will become what everyone wants.
How many warriors are there in the entire Edel Country? It's a question that no one can say. But everyone knows that the Warrior series is the largest and most numerous of the three major class systems.
And she is also well aware that because Jerry's armor only needs a small amount of forging material, the weight of the final product will definitely be greatly reduced.
That way, with the exception of some professions that require flexibility, the vast majority of people can afford the weight of the new armor, and the potential customers will not be limited to the warrior line.
In this way, how many people should be able to buy armor?
Considering the collective purchase of the temple and the Edel royal family, how much sales will there be? Even if the profit of each piece is pressed to a very low level, it is unimaginable wealth under such a large base!
It's just that Catherine didn't expect that Jerry, a country boy, not only had special skills, but also knew all these business things clearly, which made most of the chips in her hand disappear at once.
Catherine pretended to be calm and said, "If you have to take seventy percent of the profits, that's fine." But I want you to hand over all the principles and processes......"
Before Catherine could finish speaking, Jerry interrupted her very dryly, and said, "Impossible, this is the unique school of my family, the kind that is passed on to children but not daughters, and I swore to the great god of light that I will never be exiled." ”
"What is the son who does not pass on the daughter?"
Catherine was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, glared at Jerry fiercely, and deliberately said with a serious and indifferent look: "I am the Holy Maiden of the Temple, and this is the Paladin Legion under my command, you should know that as long as I say a word, I can immediately arrest you until you are forced to say it." ”
Jerry said that if it weren't for your beauty, I would have believed it, although these two things have nothing to do with each other, but your flickering eyes betray your psychological condition.
Jerry also straightened his face, looked at Catherine without fear, and said, "Your Royal Highness, it's not that I boast, no one in this world can transform the armor so well except me. And if you have to force it, I can't resist it, but at most it's just a death, and how can you get an answer from the dead man's head?"
Catherine was so angry that her face cramped a little, of course she couldn't do that, and even if there was that kind of forbidden technique, she wouldn't do that evil thing for a little profit.
Catherine said hatefully, "It's three or seven!
Jerry didn't give an inch: "It's okay to have three seven, but I want seven, technology is money, and now the money is all with me." ”
"How can you ...... I'm a saint!"
Catherine clenched a pair of pink fists tightly, she was afraid that she would throw a glorious arrow out as soon as she let go of her hand, and she even felt that it was possible to rub a big fireball for this guy!
Jerry simply closed his eyes and said leisurely, "Oh, I'm a stonemason. ”
Catherine: "......"
The somewhat awkward silence only lasted for a short time, but it seemed like it had been a long, long time in the feelings of the two.
That is, Andrew and they all know that this is the private forbidden area of Her Highness the Holy Maiden, and no one will break in like Jerry, otherwise the appearance of the two of them, especially Catherine sitting on the ice, will definitely make headlines in the Holy City.
Catherine squeezed her voice out between her teeth and said, "Minimum, four or six!"
"Okay!" Jerry immediately agreed, saying, "I'm six, you're four." ”
"No, I'm going to take sixty percent. ”
"How?"
"Four-six!"
"How much do you want?"
"Four...... It's not ......"
Before Catherine could change her words, Jerry's eyes widened, and her bright gaze made Her Highness a little dazed.
Jerry said with a smile: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden has spoken, but you are not allowed to regret it, we will have four or six points, I will account for sixty percent, and Your Highness the Holy Maiden will account for forty percent." ”
"You ......"
Catherine's green fingers trembled and pointed at Jerry, who seemed to be angry at any moment, but finally put it down, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she said with wisdom: "Okay, then it's good for you to give you sixty percent." ”
"Uh......"
Jerry was stunned, he didn't think it would be so easy to convince the other party, four or six points still accounted for himself, in fact, he could accept the opposite, after all, as the other party said, people are saints, and he is just a commoner.
There was a problem, and Jerry intuitively thought there was something wrong with it.
But it's a fool not to take advantage of it, since the other party has said so, of course he won't give up the profits in turn.
Jerry stood up very happily, not noticing that it was disrespectful to stand up in front of Catherine, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Catherine, who stood up, looked strange, moved from Jerry's face to his hand, although she also stretched out her hand, but at the same time said: "You are not a spy sent by other countries, it is the first time that someone dares to shake my hand." ”
Hiss –
Jerry gasped, of course he wasn't a spy, but he shook hands with Her Highness...... It's dangerous to think about.
But fortunately, the palms of the two touched lightly and immediately released, and the explosion scene that Jerry imagined did not appear, and his hand was successfully saved.
"Huh. After reaching an agreement, Jerry smiled and said, "Your Highness, can we sign a contract now?" ”
There is no such thing as a contract in the Edel Country, and the contract witnessed by the priest is the most powerful constraint.
And now they are in the holy city, and in front of them are the saints who claim to be the spokesmen of God, and even the witnesses are gods, and the contract is of course more valid than anything else.
However, Catherine smiled lightly, and the moment she turned around, her hair fluttered gracefully, and she turned back to Jerry to reveal a standard saintly face—
Divine, pure...... But it's even more speechless.
Catherine said, "What contract?"
"Uh......"
Jerry was like eating a fly, but he didn't expect that in such a blink of an eye, people would not admit it.
I saw a slender arc at the corner of Catherine's mouth, and when she turned to leave, she dropped a sentence: "Let's wait until you take out the finished product." I'll have someone build a few new armor sets as soon as possible, and we'll talk about it when you're ready. And you have to remember, I don't want to hear anyone talk about it, so when you're done, contact me with the crystal in your pocket. ”
Seeing Catherine go away, Jerry stood there stunned for a while before he reacted, only to find that he had an extra cyan crystal in his pocket at some point.
"Wind Whispering Crystal?"
Jerry exclaimed in surprise.
The Wind Whisper Crystal is a magic prop that binds two Wind Whisper Crystals together through magical magic, and the person who holds one crystal can deliver messages within a certain range.
This magic item is a must-have on the battlefield, and it is not complicated to make, and it certainly does not cost too much. But for Jerry, it was the first time he had gotten a magic item, and it was a bit of a surprise.
It's just that the surprise is more speechless, he doesn't know when Catherine put the wind crystal in his pocket, doesn't it mean that if the other party wants to take away something from him, he doesn't know at all?
"Could it be that Her Highness is still a thief?"
Jerry quickly looked left and right to make sure that no one heard this disrespectful remark that would have sent him to the stake, and then he put away the wind crystal with satisfaction.
This encounter with Catherine was an accident, an accident that almost threatened her life, but the gain was obviously huge.
No one knew the deal better than he did, and if he were to make the kind of chain mail he had given to Lisa, it would take him days to complete one.
But the content of his deal with Catherine is the most ordinary processing armor, and he doesn't need to process every metal ring again, he only needs to use the water element to infiltrate the whole to complete, the process is so simple that others can't imagine it, and the effect is enough to meet Catherine's requirements.
Catherine didn't know this, and of course he wouldn't take the initiative to mention it, otherwise the unexpected Holy Maiden would definitely not give him such a large profit share.
Jerry finally left satisfied, taking his large suitcase with him, but it was much lighter now.
Catherine also took his old armor with him when she left, most likely intending to take it back and study it, but Jerry didn't care at all.
He was able to process and even transform his armor with the help of the Book of Destiny, and unless Catherine had another Book of Destiny, it would be impossible to crack the secrets in it, after all, he was not using magic at all.
The meeting of the captains of the Paladin Legion had long since ended, and there were only two people in the room, Andrew and Mongo, and both of them had special expressions when they saw Jerry, clearly with doubts and suspicions.
"What did you kid do, why did Her Highness send a special order to say that the ritual was omitted, and that you would directly join Team Zero?"
The Isaac Mountain Man's head was pestled in front of Jerry, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when he and Catherine were rolling on the ice before, and he almost kissed him without a head twitch.
But luckily he didn't, otherwise he would have had to vomit for a week before he stopped.
"Deputy Commander Andrew, Captain Mongo, what are you talking about Team Zero? I don't know!"
Jerry's eyes widened, his face confused.
