"It's you!" Link looked at Annelotte with a bit of fear in his eyes. Although the contact time between him and Annelotte was not long, it was only in this very short period of time. Link developed an almost instinctive fear of Annelotte.
He had never made a move with Annelotte, and he had almost never even seen Annelotte make a move. But Link was afraid of her and her strength. Why? Have you seen Regnar? My little junior brother took care of me very easily and contentedly. But during those few days in the Human Empire, Link also learned something through inquiring: Annelotte is known as the strongest of the younger generation of mankind. Since she is the strongest, she must be more powerful than Regnar. Therefore, Link naturally has reason to be afraid of her.
Zierra on the side narrowed her eyes slightly. As the top warrior of the Alvin family, Zyra has a wealth of combat experience, so she naturally developed a sense of danger in these fights. And she could feel that the human girl in front of her was not easy to mess with. She might even be stronger than Angelista.
"Is this your teacher? Miss Angelista?" Britney was slightly surprised. If she was not mistaken, this girl should only be a level 17 mage, but she could easily perform magic in front of everyone, and even deceived Sarah and Wesley with magic...
"Yes, I just made up my mind not long ago to learn magic with her." Angelista replied with a smile. This woman is usually famous for her arrogance and arrogance, but she seemed so in front of Annelotte. Very calm.
"This is my invitation to Miss Angelista, and it is also my wish." Annelotte continued: "Human magic is different from dark elves and elves' magic. I am very interested in the magic of dark elves." I’m also very interested, so I hope to have a longer communication with Miss Angelista.”
"That's right, so, she is not only my teacher, I am also her teacher." Angelista walked up to Annelotte with a lewd smile, and then whispered in Annelotte's ear with a seductive tone. He said softly: "I can also teach you about that knowledge~, then you and Regnar won't be embarrassed. Look... ow!"
Before Angelista could finish her words, she was hit with a precise elbow by Annelotte and screamed. Regnar on the side looked on with some confusion, and he couldn't help but wonder how Angelista made Annie so anxious.
"Mr. Regner." Britney doesn't care about Annelotte or Angelista. The only issue she cares about now is that if Angelista really leaves, what will happen to the Alvin family next? Trouble, how to deal with alcohol.
So, Britney frowned and spoke: "I don't want to pursue the boring things like replacing Erin with another person now. But I want to know, if you really want to take Angelista away. , will you give us some help or compensation? Otherwise, should I regard your approach as a unilateral breach of the covenant?"
"You will be compensated." Regnar smiled, looked at Zyra, and then asked: "Miss Zyra, I wonder how your affairs in the mithril mine went?"
"Such a thing happened in the family. I didn't have the energy to pay attention to the mithril mine anymore, and I also lost the capital to negotiate with several other families." Zyra replied coldly: "So, when I left at the end, They only promised to share 10% of the family's resources, and whether this 10% can be realized is actually still unknown."
"Then, I think you might as well go back to the negotiations now." Regnar said with a smile.
"You mean to use the power of the Human Empire to help the Alvin family seize the mine?" Zyra said in surprise. She thought for a moment, then shook her head: "This is impossible, even if you can really help We have completely taken down the mine, and we will never offend all the families in Dark Light City. If we really do this, the family will only be unable to move forward in Dark Light City. Or are you sure that we, Alvin, will become The Lord of Darklight City?"
"Our human empire itself is facing a war. I'm afraid we won't be able to spare any extra troops to help you seize a mithril mine against the power of the entire Dark Light City. What's more, Dark Light City itself is full of experts. Even if we want to fight I'm afraid it's just because of weakness." Regnar shook his head pretending to be mysterious.
"Then what do you mean?" Gasos asked.
"It's very simple. I hope that the Elvin family can convince several other forces in Dark Light City to let them cooperate with our Hawke Empire." Regnar spread his hands: "As far as I know, the metal mineral reserves in the Dark Region are extremely Rich, and I also heard that the dark elves have ingenious forging skills. If this is the case, our empire hopes to purchase a large amount of weapons and equipment produced by the major families in Darklight City. The empire is currently in a war stage, which is when there is a large demand for weapons and equipment. . And if our warriors can use weapons forged by the dark elves, then it will definitely make a qualitative change in the overall strength of the empire's army. Of course, we will naturally pay a corresponding price to compensate the various families in Dark Light City."
"Correction. Menial jobs such as blacksmithing and forging are usually done by lowly dwarves. We dark elves are only responsible for fine-tuning and enchanting weapons and equipment." Zyra said expressionlessly.
"Uh... Okay..." Regnar's face turned red. He originally wanted to show off his poor knowledge, but he was slapped in the face by Zyra before he could say a few words.
Regarding this transaction, Regnar actually had an idea as early as when he heard about the discovery of the mithril mine in Dark Light City. And these days, he is not just sitting around eating. He also used Annelotte's magical power to get in touch with Emperor Larvin. Ralphin immediately agreed with Regnar's idea. He ordered Regnar and Annelotte to conduct some testing with the dark elves in Dark Light City. If the conditions are really right, then you might as well make such a big deal with them.
"..." Britney thought quietly. She was actually very tempted by the deal that Regner was talking about. The Underdark is indeed rich in metal minerals. After thousands of years of accumulation, the Elvin family alone has accumulated thousands of useless weapons and equipment.
Those are ordinary weapons that have not been enchanted, and they are usually defective products that have been eliminated by the family. But with the forging skills of the dwarves in the Underdark, Britney can guarantee that even if they are just some defective products, they should be considered top-quality goods when they are obtained from the original plane.
These things were originally like garbage in the eyes of the dark elves, but if they can now be traded with humans and sold for a good price, they will not be regarded as waste.
Moreover, Britney knew that these were actually small heads. What the human empire really needed was only those well-made and enchanted equipment. Even in the Underdark, where magic and forging are prevalent, an ordinary enchanted piece of equipment is worth far more than a hundred pieces of scrap metal. And if the family goes all out for production... it would be unreasonable not to make a lot of money!
After Regnar finished speaking, he folded his arms and waited quietly. He knew that what he proposed was definitely a win-win deal, so he was not worried that the dark elves would reject it. But he still gave Britney enough time to think and calculate the gains and losses, even if this was not a very difficult problem to calculate.
"So, Mr. Regnar." Wesley was the first to speak: "According to you, this is a deal between the Human Empire and the entire Dark Light City. If that is the case, I don't think you are interested in losing Anjie to us. Miss Lista made substantial compensation.”
"Of course the Empire will not treat our first friends badly." Regnar seemed confident in response to Wesley's question. He smiled and said, "The Empire can arrange for the Elvin family to become the trading representatives of Dark Light City."
"What's the benefit of this?" The person who asked was Zyra.
"There are too many benefits." Regnar looked like a profiteer at this time: "The empire does not buy all kinds of goods, and the selling prices of weapons and equipment are customized based on the family as a whole. Therefore, the empire buys The Elvin family has the right to say which family's goods are produced. As for how to use this right to say, I think you will know better than me. Of course, I also hope that you will not go too far, otherwise it will cause other problems. Family resistance is also a nuisance."
"And in this way, the conflicts between you and other families in Darklight City can also be alleviated to a certain extent." Annelotte added.
"I wonder what weapons and equipment you need?" Gasos asked: "Each dark elf family does hoard certain weapons and equipment, but the quality is not the same."
"Well-made non-enchanted equipment is naturally the main body of the transaction. The number should be between 100 and 150,000 sets, and the empire also needs about a thousand sets of enchanted equipment." Regnar replied that these things were all calculated by him before. , so what he said at this time was unambiguous: "Of course, this is a long-term deal, and we can proceed slowly. Otherwise, even if you can bring out so many goods, the empire itself may not have the financial resources." Eat so much weapons and equipment in one bite.”
"But, Mr. Regnar." Link couldn't help but speak: "Before coming to the origin plane, I did a survey. Both the Hawke Empire and the Stoke Empire have now entered a state of financial deficit. What do you think? How about paying gold coins for such a huge sum of military supplies?”
"If you really only value gold coins, then I can only say sorry." Regnar shrugged and admitted shamelessly: "The empire has no money now, and I'm afraid it won't be possible even if it comes out with 10,000 more gold coins. of."
"Then what kind of deal is this? Robbery?" Gasos couldn't help but said angrily.
"We can exchange things for things." Regnar replied: "I know that there is a lack of water, wood, plants and other materials in the Underdark. And these things can be found almost everywhere in our original plane, so we can exchange things for things." .”
"Don't be so naive, Mr. Regnar." Wesley shook his head in disappointment: "The amount of material transfer that the plane node can bear every day is limited. Just transporting those weapons and equipment to the original plane is already a bit reluctant. If the original plane were to transport large-volume materials such as water and wood through space nodes, it would definitely be overloaded."
"I can think of a way to solve this." Annelotte, who had been watching with cold eyes, finally spoke.
