The saint nodded, motioning for her own people not to say more.

"I think you're right. Gunpowder is something that is really powerful and can change the tide of battle. At least if we in our church get it, we won't share it with others. The saint said, and Austin and the others did not think that there must be a twist when she agreed to her request like this.

"500,000 gold coins, we'll pay. I think this between us can be used as a deal. "But the other two are impossible." ”

"First of all, this price is based on the first two agreed. I need absolute control over the territory, and this is also to prepare for the next step of cooperation between us after the beast tide. Austin said, then stared at the Holy Maiden, and after thinking of Hawthorne's words, he said, "Our purpose is not just to simply resist the beast tide, but for a deeper purpose, the resistance of the beast tide is not a problem for us at all." ”

"Hmph, when you say it, you are not afraid of flashing your tongue. The knight chief said disdainfully.

"This, in fact, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's a big talk or not. The holy maiden said, and then, her hair fluttered slightly, she said, "Your Highness, are you really confident in resisting the beast tide?"

"Yes"

"Well, there is indeed faith, so what is the deeper purpose of what you are talking about, Your Highness?" the saint continued.

"Well, I don't know very well, but what we will investigate after that is our next purpose. Austin said.

"Is the investigation of the Magic Forest? This is indeed more tricky than the Beast Tide, our church has organized many times to enter the Magic Forest, but it has been in vain, and even a large number of people have been lost. Have you already sent Hawthorn to investigate at this time? But fortunately, it is mainly captured, if you go to investigate, I am afraid that even Hawthorn will not be able to get out of the way. ”

"Does this matter?"

"What if I don't agree to the terms?" asked the saint.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Austin said.

After hearing Austin's words, everyone was stunned, and Austin said helplessly: "The other party has started to read minds, where are there any hole cards or the like, then tell the truth." ”

Austin said frankly, "It really doesn't matter. Gray, how many people have we contacted?"

"The royal capital, the imperial capital, the two major forces have been contacted, but we haven't negotiated yet, but this new gunpowder must be negotiated. Gray said, and then continued, "In addition to the two official forces, the Northwest Desert Tribe, the Southwest Tribe, the Mercenary Association, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and other forces have already negotiated. So far, only the church forces have not been negotiated. ”

The saint's face did not change, even in the face of sudden changes. After all, he already knew the news, and at the same time, Austin was very not optimistic about the outcome of the beast tide, and even prepared a refuge for the defeat of all human beings, and prepared for the counterattack of the end times.

"I see, that is, the other forces have gunpowder, and the church can't do without gunpowder, so we must need gunpowder and can only accept your conditions?"

"Yes"

"But, you said it didn't matter, did you?"

"It really doesn't matter, whether you agree or disagree, what we can do is to keep getting stronger, only our own strength is really strong. The momentum of the beast tide is both a time and a time. "Austin, under the mind reading of the saint, is not hiding anything.

"Now that we know the sincerity of Your Highness, we can take away the bishop of the church, and you can appoint a bishop to preside over the work here, doctrine or something, anyway, you don't plan to abide by it, so forget it. 500,000 gold coins, we will also deliver it to you. The recipe for gunpowder, hand it over. This is my condition, a condition you can't refuse. Just as you said it doesn't matter, I don't really care, your power is insignificant compared to the power of the church, and it doesn't matter if I kill you like this. Although you have a lot of masters here, they can't protect you. ”

When Charlotte wanted to say something, after hearing the saint's words, she didn't say anything, as the saint said, it was basically impossible for her to protect Austin in the hands of the saint.

Austin heard the threat of the Holy Maiden and hesitated, gunpowder should not be handed over in general, no matter what, once the enemy grasps this, it is a great threat to himself. However, in fact, gunpowder is only the first step in one's own armament, and if you can, you want to turn gunpowder into black powder before the beast tide, but it seems to be a little difficult to look at the progress of research now. If you don't have the option of black powder, or if you finish black powder, you won't hesitate.

"After the beast tide, I will give the gunpowder recipe to the church. Austin said.

"Now, I know you're working on a new recipe right now. You know, this, I don't want to take advantage of this, if I want to know, it's just a matter of spending a little more in front of me, no secrets. The saint said.

After Austin sighed, yes, the other party has the ability to have such a bug, and it is indeed as she said, she has no choice at all.

"Okay, I'll give you the formula, I really hope this is the last time you and I will meet. Austin wasn't angry, but he was definitely upset," he said.

"Is Your Highness angry?" asked the holy woman.

"It's not good to be angry, at least, it's still rare when you don't become friends and enemies. Austin stood up and said, "I'll give you the recipe tomorrow, and you guys will leave." ”

Facing such a person who knows what you think in your heart is very stressful, especially a person like Austin who has different hearts and many ideas, but can keep quiet, it is even more stressful.

In addition, although the saint did not show any hostility towards Charlotte, she was extremely dissatisfied with Charlotte, who was arrested by the church, and was also a witch. In order not to have any accidents, Austin sincerely hoped that the saint and his party would leave quickly.

When Austin left the conference room and went to a place where there was no one, Austin crouched directly on the ground.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Charlotte asked.

"I made a lot of preparations for the negotiation, and I was supposed to get more benefits, but I knew that the other party had the ability to read minds, and I dared to be careless, which was a loss. Austin said with some chagrin. This is probably the first time I've lost, so frustrating.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. Charlotte didn't know how to comfort His Highness Austin, so she could only say this.
