"Oh, this is Mr. Nampe Si, right?" A tall, handsome blonde man seemed to pass by, and greeted Snanpei seemingly casually, "I'm Edward Corrion of North. ”

North, which is one of the territories of the Crown of Caledonia on the mainland.

After Si Nanpei heard his self-introduction, he looked the young man up and down, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly, he was very curious, could it be that this young man commanded a mere 20,000 troops and defeated the huge Capetian army?

But surprise is surprise, he still didn't lack courtesy. Although his legs are now unable to move and his hands are temporarily paralyzed, at least he can still nod his head: "Hello, I am Nampe Si from Seris." May I ask you for what is the matter with this little man of mine? ”

"Hmph, what kind of etiquette to talk about with such a human-faced and beast-hearted guy!" Christina turned her face angrily when she saw Edward, "I feel sick when I see this face. ”

Edward smiled and shrugged, "But ...... No matter how you interpret it, it doesn't change the fact that you're working with me right now, does it?"

......Christina took a deep breath and didn't continue to speak, but she didn't look at Edward either, she just looked at the burned fortress in silence.

When Sinampei saw such a scene, he wisely did not ask the reason, but waited for Edward's question.

He didn't believe that a dignified crown prince would have such a cordial conversation with a little person who happened to meet.

Edward naturally chose to get straight to the point: "I've heard your name countless times these days, and every woman in Galedonia, Capet, and even the Holy Romance Empire is rushing to buy your soap, even my sister, who has never cared for details, is thrilled to see your soap, even to men, like my brother. And the cannon you make is even more impressive. In fact, before seeing your nine-pounder gun with my own eyes, I never imagined that there would be such a powerful gun in this world. ”

"And ......," said Edward, pulling a cylinder from the guard's hand, "is that your invention too?"

Si Nanpei looked at it fixedly and smiled, isn't that the telescope he made Zuò! This thing is also worth being a treasure? Although this thing has great military value, as long as he understands the principle, anyone can make Zuò.

As soon as Sinampei heard Edward's words, he knew what he wanted to do, but he still made a full gesture: "So, what do you want to ......?"

"If you don't mind, can you come and teach in my country? If you don't want to teach, I'm willing to hire you as my personal advisor -- whatever kind of treatment you have in Capet -- including fiefdom and salary, plus 30 percent of them all with me. No matter what kind of real estate you do, I can support you unconditionally on behalf of the Corrion family. Edward held up three fingers without hesitation.

Si Nanpei sighed, this Edward is really a bit of a master, no matter what, daring to boast of such a Haikou can already show his courage.

It would be false to say that you are not impressed, and whoever is here will probably have to consider the conditions promised by Edward. It's the same with Sinampei.

However, he still remembered Arue's warning to him: "You, better not try to leave the kingdom of Capet! ”

Sinampei hated what was destined and the so-called prophet who thought he was omniscient and omnipotent, but he felt a trace of fear for no reason, and a voice in his heart was advising him not to do this.

Secondly, Edward also brought him a sense of danger—a feeling he had never felt with Theresa, nor in the presence of Henry and Hugue, but now, he felt it in front of Edward. Si Nanpei, he was cut by this sharp and unrestrained domineering aura.

But for the time being, he is still a cripple who can't move his limbs, and Sinampei quite understands what the consequences will be if he refuses him - he doesn't even have to do anything, he just needs to order his subordinates to throw himself out of the fortress, and then he will freeze and starve to death.

After a long silence, he finally replied, "I'm sorry, although you can basically give me what Capet can give me, there is one thing that you absolutely can't give me." ”

In his desperation, he came up with a bad idea that seemed to work.

"What is it?" Edward's face showed a subtle look, he didn't believe that there was really anything he couldn't get out of his hands.

"There's only one thing in this world, There's only one treasure in this world, and you can't get it anyway. Sinampei turned his head with difficulty, forcing himself to look at Edward with a determined gaze.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, including Christina, who seemed to be distracted, but was actually paying close attention to this side, and everyone didn't expect Sinampei to answer like this!

In fact, even Si Nanpei himself didn't expect that he would answer like this, but when the words came to his lips, he said it naturally.

"I really didn't expect that you, Mr. Si, would still be such a loyal gentleman. After a while, Edward laughed, looking very hearty, as if he didn't mind Sinampei's rejection of his invitation at all.

"She has already snatched my heart away, and it is no longer a question of whether I am loyal or not. Sinan Pei said something that even he felt shy, but his face didn't blush at all—I don't know if it was because he had already experienced it, or because he was seriously injured, or if it wasn't a lie in the first place.

"Is this the plot that has been played out so many times in the play? It doesn't look so tragic. Christina muttered quietly on the side, "Hmph, but it's really worthy of being the seed of infatuation that has been praised by everyone, and she still dares to refuse after being like this." ”

Edward nodded, "I see, Mr. Si." But if one day, even the Duchess of Auvergne becomes my captive, surely you won't refuse me again?"

Sinampei didn't answer him, but just looked left and right and said to him: "If Capet sends someone to ransom me with ransom, you have to let me go, right?"

"Don't even think about it. I'm not going to go into a business that's destined to lose money. Edward laughed and left.

Before leaving, he also left a message to Christina: "This stranger and the Duchess of Auvergne should indeed be a pair." "PS: Don't be surprised to see ** in the first few chapters, because it's nitrate, glycan, oil and detonator......
