Chapter 342, Deals, Deals Everywhere (Part 1)

"It's a white wolf god's cloak blessed by Urik. This cloak is covered with frost and can effectively resist most attacks." Boris said in a low voice: "It's made of fine white wolf fleece on Miden's collar. .”

"Thank you very much." This gift is still good. Ryan has heard that only the bravest Urik believers can get this kind of reward. The white wolf god cloak will be given by a Urik champion warrior to go into the forest alone Hunt a white wolf and dedicate it to Urik, and then the wolf fur of this white wolf will be made into a white wolf god's cloak by the White Wolf Church.

This cloak is very defensive, but Ryan is a little worried. If the female knight wears this cloak all the time, will she get rheumatism when she gets old?

After thinking about it for a while, Ryan knew that it was nothing to worry about. Suria was very talented, so he didn't have to worry that the female knight couldn't stand the cold. The main reason why Suria fought less with him and needed protection was because of Su Li. Ya is relatively young, and the female knight is only twenty-four or five years old this year. Unlike Veronica and Teresa, who are older and have more time to grow up, they can help Ryan.

The root cause is that Ryan grew up too fast. After all, he is the Primarch, and few people can keep up with him.

A few people walked for a while, and the Elector Boris sighed in a low voice: "Sometimes I envy you, Ryan, your territory is a new land, you have absolute authority, you are what you say, since I became Since the Elector and the Grand Duke of Middenland, I have dealt with countless things, I think you understand, Ryan, many nobles in White Wolf City can be traced back to Mander the Rat Exterminator more than a thousand years ago During the period of Emperor Reid or even Charlemagne, it took me a lot of energy to deal with internal affairs every time."

"I understand." Ryan knew how complicated the relationship between the nobles of the empire was.

Several people continued to walk a few more steps, the weather was getting late, and they started to return.

"Ryan, we had a meeting before we came here. The empire wants to trade more wood elf medicine and half-blood elf war horses from you." After Boris pondered for a while, he finally spoke tentatively: "I don't know what you want how?"

Axel, the head of the White Wolf Knights, nodded again and again: "We need elf horses very much, very much."

The main source of war horses of the White Wolf Knights is the mountain horse breeds raised in the north of the empire. They are good at walking on mountain roads, have strong adaptability and fast speed, but they do not have enough endurance. The heavily armed guys like the White Wolf Knights are prone to fatigue.

"I've already exported a lot of wood elf medicine, and the mixed-blood elf warhorses... have to wait until the ponies in my stable mature." Ryan knew that Boris was sniffing, so he also slapped one tai chi.

Now that the show is coming, Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, also set her sights on Ryan. Morgiana knows that it is impossible for the Elector Boris to make such a series of actions for no reason, and there must be something she wants to discuss with Ryan. .

Bretania strictly prohibits the export of pure-blood elf horses. This is a national policy, and the empire will naturally not touch it, but the knights of the empire are really eager for high-quality horse breeds. In the past, they asked people to come to Britannia to buy horses. Either they were frantically blackmailed, or they ignored it.

Finally, there is a lord like Ryan who can trade normally, and the empire naturally wants to open a gap from him.

The preciousness of wood elf medicine has been emphasized in the previous article, so I won't repeat it here.

Ryan's wedding is the best place. In front of this old world-famous human hero, all major forces have an excellent excuse to gather together. Although fierce quarrels and debates are still inevitable, bloody conflicts and tears Embarrassing things will be effectively stopped, and many representatives of the two forces who may not see each other for decades will sit together and negotiate with an attitude of trying to communicate as kindly as possible.

There is no doubt that from the arrival of the major forces of order until Ryan's wedding, this is a period of time full of behind-the-scenes transactions, conspiracy and blackmail. As far as Ryan knows, there have been several verbal promises and several contracts.

These transactions were all concealed under the joy of Ryan's upcoming wedding.

The most important contract is the trade agreement signed by Boderick, Duke of Boldrow, Ryan, Earl of Glamorgan, François, Duke of Winford, and Teclis, the High Elf Supreme Mage. A huge profit of at least two thousand kronor! The same goes for François.

But this is not as good as Boderick, the Duke of Boldrow. The signing of this trade agreement means that the Inner Ring Kingdom of the High Elves will open up a second stable trade point in places other than Marienburg! This will be an epoch-making moment since Boderick became the Duke of Boldroux!

The trade agreement has been reached verbally, and Ryan will go to Helen Hilde in two days to discuss this matter with François and Bo Derick.

The empire also took the initiative to come to negotiate, Ryan frowned, thinking about the feasibility of this matter: "Then what can the empire give me?"

"People! The people you want!"

…………

Two days later, Britannia, the capital of the Principality of Wenford, Helen Hilde.

"Is this the city of His Excellency Duke Francois? Wow, it's so big, it's really big!" Ryan's adoptive father, Norman, sighed and looked at the big garden-like city in front of him like a countryman entering the city.

"Yeah! Father, this place is really big." Ryan rode on his pure-blood elf horse and smiled at Norman.

Helen Hilde was built at the source of the Chinon River, in the middle of the river valley. In autumn, the refreshing autumn wind blows through a group of people, the clear water of the Chinon River rushes, and the majestic and magnificent castle and tall The family coat of arms on the city gate all tell the ancient history of the Aintree family.

The "Pure White Horse" family coat of arms wears a crown of dukes, highlighting the noble status of Ryan's future wife. Norman, a country bumpkin from Nord, felt a little ashamed when he saw it. The lord from Nord only had a small castle and dozens of them. A servant, a small territory, and now that Ryan is marrying such a glorious and historical family, Norman is very disturbed.

The houses in the city are all brick and stone structures, with white walls and red roofs. The dense crowds and passing vehicles make the city prosperous and full of vitality. It is autumn, and the city is under the dead branches and leaves, which has a special interest.

Ryan brought his adoptive parents, the lake goddess Morgiana, the housekeeper Katzenberg, the dark elf Olika and Boris to Helen Hilde. The dwarf engineer Dugan-Tiehan also came. Bellegar, who had been reluctant to show up for a long time, heard that Ryan was going to Helen Hilde, so he pretended that he wanted to meet Ryan again, and they could have a pleasant journey together. The powerful King of Eight Peaks can guarantee the safety of their group.

Ryan just laughed, and he readily agreed.

As for Teclis, he still stayed in Ryan's territory and continued to teach the two witches magic, so Veronica and Teresa also stayed, and the little maid Emilia was unwilling to come out with Ryan, Ryan Nor was it forced.

Ryan had already heard about what Bellegar was doing in his territory - the king of the Eight Peaks Mountain went to see his army and knights training all day long, and then took a small notebook to keep notes, especially the knights and knight retinues. In their training, Bellegar has never failed a game, and even specially made a lot of plastic figurines to play deduction.

According to Dugan, Bellegar is quite satisfied with the strength of the Britannian knights, and the original words were "barely enough to see".

A group of people gradually approached the castle. Elector Boris watched Helen Hilde and said harshly: "What I want to say is that White Wolf City has always been the largest and most beautiful city in the old world, but this city is not bad either. .”

The towering walls and a dozen pointed towers of the duke's castle make up the three-story structure inside and outside Helen Hilde Castle. The square main castle is in the middle, flanked by six huge conical turrets. There is a 30-meter-high statue of a pure white horse in front of it.

"Here ↑↓" Ryan raised an arm and introduced to everyone: "Francois said, let's go in through the main entrance."

"Let me tell you, although this castle is very big and beautiful, its defense is too weak compared to us dwarves, and it doesn't look strong." Bellega chattered, "Too much attention Beautiful, just like the problem with the pointy ears."

"I think so too." Axel, the head of the White Wolf Knights, echoed, and the bearded head said harshly, "I heard that Ivan is here too?"

"Not only Ivan, but also the great alchemist Belshazer-Gert." Ryan said softly, "Let's have a good talk in the afternoon."

"It should be so."

The arrival of Ryan, Morgiana, Boris and others was naturally received by Francois, and Ryan also met his godfather Ivan. The Grand Duke of Griffin patted him on the shoulder without saying much , Ivan is also proud of his godson, but now is not the time to reminisce about the past, Ryan is already a nobleman in Brittania, and Ivan represents the empire across the mountain.

Just after settling down, the two sides had a negotiation in Helen Hilde's conference room.

On the Britannian side there were Fourcade, Duke of Montfort, Casvann, Duke of Palaion, François, Duke of Wenfort, Berhemond, Duke of Bastogne, Lane, Earl of Glamorgan, Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, and Boderick, the Duke of Bordello, who came belatedly.

From the empire came the Grand Duke Ivan of the Griffon, Boris the White Wolf Elector, Axel the Grand Master of the White Wolf Knights, and the Great Alchemist Balshazer Geert.

In addition, Belegar, the king of Eight Peaks, also attended the meeting as the special envoy of King Breeze Castle.

The content of the first negotiation between the two parties was related to the dwarves. Francois, who sat in the middle, said first: "After discussing with Fulkad, Casvann, and Bohemond, we believe that the kingdom of the dwarves is The history of living and thriving in the Gray Mountains is much longer than the history of human beings, so we are willing to acknowledge the existence of Windbreeze Castle and its legality as one of the dwarven kingdoms. We hope to sit down and negotiate with the Windbreeze Castle dwarves and the empire to sign a truce Agreement, Borders Delineated, Peace Restored."

"The empire is willing to be fair." Grand Duke Ivan of the Griffin and Boris the White Wolf Elector both nodded.

"agreed, agreed!"

All present voted by show of hands.

This is a rare opportunity for Brittania to sit down and negotiate with the dwarves of Castle Breeze.

"Yes, peace, that's what the dwarves want." As the representative appointed by King Rorek-Granite Hand of Castle Breeze, Belegar, King of the Eight Peaks, sat on a chair piled with three cushions and nodded repeatedly: "We Not friends with the Bretons, but not enemies either, and the dwarves won't go to war with the human guys, so that the greenskins and Chaos can find an opportunity."

Ryan was sitting on Francois' right hand, and he whispered to his father-in-law when he saw this: "Although the dwarf is stubborn, he still understands the truth."

François rolled his sea-blue eyes, and smiled elegantly: "The stubbornness of the dwarves is that they don't give you the chance to meet and propose peace talks!"

"I agree to the peace talks, and I am willing to sign the armistice agreement, but I want to say that the dwarves of Castle Breeze must admit that the Principality of Montfort has full legal claim to the ax-bite pass." , please immediately stop your excessive excavation of mines under my territory, many mines have penetrated into my territory, this is a violation of the rights and interests of the Principality of Montfort."

"Rorek told me about the ax-bite pass." Bellegar touched his white beard, and first affirmed the ownership of the ax-bite pass: "The Bretons have been guarding and patrolling the ax-bite pass for a long time, Establish watch belts and outposts to defend against the invasion of greenskins, and the dwarves of Windbreeze are willing to admit that the Ax Bite Pass belongs to the Principality of Montfort."

"Phew~" the Duke of Montfort's heart fell to the ground. The ax biting the pass and the tariffs it brought are the lifeblood of Fulkard. He will never back down on this point. Since the dwarf admits this, then It's easy to negotiate.

The two sides started negotiations like a tug-of-war on many issues. Two hours later, the three Dukes of Furkad, Casvann, and Berhemond and Bellega on behalf of Castle Breeze signed the armistice agreement. This time, the respective spheres of influence were relatively specifically divided. The Bretons recognized the existence of Castle Breeze, and Castle Breeze recognized the Bretons' ownership of the Ax Bite Pass. Regarding the mineral veins under the mountains, the two parties agreed to shelve Controversy, joint development, the Bretons granted the dwarves the right to continue mining, and the dwarves were willing to sell a part of the ore to the Bretons at a preferential price.

Ryan knew that this was a win-win agreement, because the mining technology on the Britannia side was appalling. Even if the dwarves were driven away, they would not be able to mine by themselves. less than marketable.

Several dukes and Bellegar left the conference room to sign the agreement, leaving only François, Boderick, Ryan, Morgiana and the people from the Empire in the room.

"The next question is about the further opening of the export of wood elf medicines and mixed-blood elf horses requested by the empire." Francois continued: "We want to know what the empire can do to make a deal with us."

"We are willing to make a deal with you with an army." The great alchemist Belshazer-Gert said in his strange voice full of metal friction: "An army you need."

"The army we need? I can't think of any army we need in particular." Ryan frowned. Britannia's heavy cavalry was the number one in the old world, and he had dwarf artillery, so he couldn't think of any army in particular. up.

"We know what you need." The empire took out a contract and placed it in front of Ryan.

"A detachment of elite Ugol horse archers from Kislev."
