-162- Negotiations

Listening to the words of the Count of Witley, Charlotte laughed:

"Your Excellency, are you deceiving me that I don't understand the value of transcendence?"

"Forget about ordinary conscripts, as far as I know, the salary of the probationary priest in the temple is 15 gold tana a month, although the extraordinary salary cannot be compared with that of the priest, but the salary of its soldiers is more than 7 gold gold in a month......

As she spoke, her expression gradually turned cold:

"Are you kidding me if you want to redeem the extraordinary reserve with less than two years of military salary?"

Obviously he looked quite young, and his voice was immature and even a little young, but the moment the girl's expression turned cold, Count Witley felt that the temperature in the entire council hall seemed to drop a little.

Meeting Charlotte's cold eyes, Count Witley felt a pressure that could not be described in words.

Obviously, the title is the same, and the age gap is huge, but at this moment, he has a sense of awe that the inferior has seen the superior.

This sense of ambivalence made him very uncomfortable, but it was also doubly stressed.

And he realized almost instantly that the girl in front of him was probably not only a lord who was already quite prestigious, but also a powerful transcendent.

At least...... The other party's strength was far stronger than his, the mage of the Silver Moon, and only in this way could he explain how the other party could bring him so much pressure with just a few words.

It's not the words that are stressful, nor the tone of the voice.

Moreover, the spiritual power contained in the words, as well as the magic flow of the entire council hall as the other party's mood changes......

She's a powerful spellcaster!

Far beyond the average Silver Moon!

Count Witley suddenly had such a judgment.

And this judgment also brought him an even greater shock......

Because he knew very well that the girl in front of him was even just a nobleman who had not awakened the power of the bloodline two years ago!

God is above......

In two years, he has possessed extraordinary power far beyond the ordinary Silver Moon, could it be that after His Majesty the King, there will be a transcendent genius who is seen once in a thousand years?!

Count Witley's thoughts were rolling, and his heart was shaking.

Taking a deep breath, his posture became more respectful:

"Your Excellency, the ransom of one hundred gold tana per person has been the practice for many years, and even in the Star-Moon War, the ransom paid by the Kingdom of the Falling Stars to His Majesty's extraordinary soldiers is also one hundred gold per person......"

"If you are not satisfied, we can increase the price of the ransom by another quarter on this basis as a sign of our sincerity."

"In addition, there are those nobles who have been captured by you, and according to the rank of knight, we are willing to pay 3,000 to 200,000 quintanas as ransom for ransom."

"Of course, if you are not satisfied, you can also negotiate directly with their family......

"Moreover, this is only the price of redemption, and we will also cover all the costs of their food and lodging during the captivity."

Charlotte frowned and looked at Viscount Leon Castel to the side.

And the old viscount came to her side and whispered:

"Lord Earl, the ransom price given by Violet for the soldiers is quite reasonable, the ransom of one hundred gold tanas per person, this is indeed the 'market price' of extraordinary soldiers among the nobles."

As he spoke, he paused, and said meaningfully:

"Of course, this is limited to the ransom ...... of soldiers"

Listening to the old viscount's words, Charlotte's heart moved slightly and nodded.

To be honest, it really wasn't much use for her to ask for those soldiers, and although she was solicited during this time, the solicitation had limited effect.

The vast majority of extraordinary soldiers are actually dragged with their families, and they are not willing to leave their homes, and most of them are loyal to their lords, and it is difficult to be co-opted without spending a lot of money.

And at that price, Charlotte feels that she might as well train her own extraordinary soldiers.

"Lord Witley, we can accept the ransom."

Charlotte said.

Count Witley breathed a sigh of relief.

"But...... But we will keep the seized equipment. ”

Charlotte changed her words and said.

"It can't be!"

Count Witley blurted out almost subconsciously.

"Oh? No way? Do you mean that you want to rely on a hundred gold tana, even people with armor and weapons, to redeem them together? ”

Charlotte chuckled.

Count Witley scratched his head in embarrassment and said:

"No...... Of course not. ”

"As for the extraordinary equipment you have seized, we are also willing to redeem the ...... for a quarter more than the price on the market."

Listening to the words of the Count of Witley, Charlotte's smile became even brighter:

"Your Excellency, you're laughing again."

"I'm not unaware of how precious enchanted extraordinary equipment is, in the black market, even the worst enchanted equipment can sell for three thousand gold tana in one set......"

"However, it's just the price."

"Forget about ordinary equipment, as far as I know, enchanted extraordinary equipment can only be created by alchemists and magicians, and many times it is priceless."

"Your Excellency, perhaps the transcendent equipment we have seized is not as good as the ransom of Violet if we sell it on the black market, but if we want to buy these equipment with the same amount of Quintana, it is impossible to buy it."

"In a sense, the value of these enchanted equipment is even more valuable than that of soldiers."

"Trading awesome gear for Quintana is a loss-making deal, let alone ...... When did my castel miss Quintana? ”

Listening to Charlotte's words, the Count of Witley frowned and said:

"Lord Earl, I mean, do you want to leave behind the captured extraordinary equipment to build Castelle's own standing army?"

"IMHO, each set of extraordinary equipment that can form a magic energy array has its own maintenance system and maintenance means, and even activating the array requires a proprietary spell model......"

"Without these, even if you get these equipment, it's just some ordinary enchanted equipment, and it is impossible to form a magic energy array."

"Of course, if you want to exchange relevant technology with us, it is impossible, the Duke will not agree, how to build and maintain an extraordinary army is a secret of the noble family......"

Charlotte smiled and said:

"Of course I know this, Lord Witley, and I don't expect to be able to build our own extraordinary army of Castel with this captured equipment alone."

Listening to Charlotte's words, Count Witley breathed a sigh of relief.

The idea of building an army of the Extraordinary from captured Extraordinary Equipment meant that Castel didn't have to keep the enchanted equipment behind.

And as long as it is not necessary to leave these equipment, then there is talk.

The thousands of extraordinary equipment captured by Castell were quite difficult to build, and in this war, Boois-Lint had lost all the money he had saved for decades.

Before he left, Duke Violet repeatedly emphasized that no matter how big the price was, he would bring back those extraordinary equipment.

"Your Excellency, ...... What do you need to get that gear back to us? ”

"If you don't feel that sincerity is enough, we are willing to increase the price by a tenth more, and in addition to this, we will unconditionally return to Castel those territories that are still occupied, and we will also recognize Castre's independence and sovereignty over the Tulip Countdom."

"We can also promise to support you in the next Council of the Nobles of the Kingdom......"

"What do you think?"

Count Witley asked respectfully.

"No, I don't need Quintana."

Charlotte shook her head.

As she spoke, she looked at the Count of Witley and said with a smile:

"I want extraordinary materials that are equal to the value of these equipment, as well as ...... A stable path to superior materials. ”
