THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

chapter 94's

John smiled and replied, “I don't think that would be a problem because I've decided to arm Joseph's fleet. I will remember the visit of Duke Sapphire.”

Marquis Ray laughed as he mentioned Frank and Joseph, “Frank will handle all the negotiations later. Since Joseph is one of your people right now, I think you might have deliberately made Joseph handle all the negotiations. Well, I just hope his grandfather Carl doesn't do it. will curse him like hell. ”

Ambassador Luke saw Melanie when she arrived,” It's been quite a long time Grand Potioneer Melanie, I didn't see you before at the Ballistas show. Dad and a lot of people in court still miss you. ”

Melanie taunts Luke when she hears him,” I think they miss my potion more than I do and curse me more when their mood is bad. As for Ballista I'm not as interested in them as I already know about them. “

Ambassador Luke tried to confirm one of the rumors when he asked him, “I heard you recently decided to teach some students in Pharmacy at the Rose Institute from now onward. I guess you have decided to fight the Radiant Church actively.”

Melanie thought and said, “Yes, that's the only thing my Disciple asked me to help and it's for the welfare of ordinary people, so I'm thinking of helping her. Recently, Eva was too busy with the institute, so I thought of helping her when I was present at the institute. I guess your only goal here is the Ballista that John showed before. Well, you don't have to be disappointed as long as it's a fair deal. I guess he wants to balance out the enemies he made recently. However, do not force your luck and become too greedy when dealing with it. “

Ambassador Luke showed a surprised and excited face when he heard that, “Of course, we will give him a fair deal, he said, I guess Lord John doesn't want to compromise with the Radiant church when it comes to a certain ideology where they discriminate against other species. However, I will still warn you that the madness of the Radiant church will not stop with the use of money either. I guess they love paper and printing unlike the Royal family. ”

Melanie taunted him when she heard him, “You make no difference as well when it comes to certain interests, though, it's just that this time you're only interested in the Ballistas so I guess John decided to ally with a stronger force with less restraint. So don't ‘ “Don't be a hypocrite in front of me.”

Meanwhile Melanie thought, ‘I guess John appreciates the printing technique more than that balista. Maybe he and the Radiant church can see what others can't. Or perhaps it was Vlad and Tornwall's influence that he did not want to impose the Radiant church ideology. I guess it's a mixture of both. ‘

Luke blushed when he heard it but he did not refute it because he knew in and out of the Royal Palace.

Luke looked at Marquis Ray and commented in front of Melanie, “It looks like John is done with his business talks with Marquis Ray, From the appearance of Marquis Ray, I think he got what he wanted. I think reading people's expressions has become a habit because of this work. ”

Looking at Robert, he sneered,” looked at Bishop Robert, I think he was quite angry with Taylor's butler's reply. However, it could be seen that he was still waiting to meet Baron John. Well, I'll head first and end our conversation. ”

Ambassador Luke smiled when he met John, “It seems you accidentally revealed your position to Grandpotioneer Melanie before you decided to meet me. Well, I'll get straight to the point, the Royal Family wants to buy your Ballad Blueprint presented earlier. Of course we will offer you enough compensation for that production line and blueprint. Currently, we are ready to release the Tax for the next 50 years and promote your Aristocratic status from Honorary Status to Hereditary Status.also promoted from Baron to Count. “

John thought, “Well, I don't think it will be enough because the results in my domain will be quite ignored by the Royal Family. As for Noble's achievements, I can easily produce them in war and obtain offspring and also hereditary Count status with those weapons. You have to stop being stingy. The only real advantage is the abolition of taxes but it will be accumulated in the next 50 years. “

Luke slightly blushed and made an excuse, “Of course, it was just our initial offer, he said, The Royal Family is also prepared to grant special privileges to you where you can trade in Domains controlled by the Royal Family with half the taxes like the Duke. You can also have access to the Imperial Capital market without any restrictions. And because of all the problems that Prince Hector gave you and because we can't control them. If you have a special request then we may consider it a kind of compensation. “

John smiled when he heard and mentioned his request, “Special request? I want to have the right to expand my borders in the forest. Of course, I will not infringe on the rights of my neighbor's fellow royals as long as they do not violate my rights. And when I recruited Apothecaries/primary and medium-sized poets, I wanted to contact some of them as I hoped to fight the Radiant Church by expanding my funds and my research on common ailments. also want to have access to the Imperial Capital barn in case of an emergency, of course, I will buy it at market price. “

Ambassador Luke “Ya, we can agree to your request as long as this deal is completed before winter of the year. In fact, we are even ready to give you access to one of the magic metal mines. However, you will not be allowed to sell blueprints and technology to other parties. I don't think any of us will lose in this deal ”

John thinks and agrees when he wants access to the magic metal mine,” This magic metal mine is quite alluring. Okay, I'll take this deal because I don't have access to the magic metal mine, I hope this deal is announced before Prince Hector's Banquet and this is also one of my terms.

Luke asked him as Prince Hector knew would definitely reveal the new soap and said to John indirectly, “Are you sure? Because I think this will anger Prince Hector and Duke Norman quite a lot. We will not take any guarantees on any of those actions. ”

John shrugged and spoke without hesitation,” Well, Prince Hector is after all a petty person so I want to rub salt on his wounds. And you can't control it in any way, so I guess it's okay. I'm only interested in the legal right to expand my borders, so I guess this works. “

The Ambassador thought of John's answer, ‘This man has guts while at the same time being cruel to his enemies, and is braver than what we thought before, he said, from the looks of it he was not really afraid of Duke Norman or Prince Hector. I guess he likes to hide his true intentions by appearing weak. It was good that he was only interested in wild lands, he had to start from scratch even if he was able to survive after this winter. ”

Ambassador Luke smiled and nodded, Well, I think we can conclude the deal. We can sign the deal immediately and I can announce it to everyone immediately. I'll leave when we've finalized the deal. “

John also nodded, “Taylor will handle the deal, I will tell you about the details. Hope you enjoy your stay at Hope. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the friendliness of my people.”

Luke thought about the deal as he He went to the party when he watched Prince Lukav, ‘It's good he got into a dispute with the Radiant church or it would be more expensive for us to get the ballista. However, I guess it would not be possible without the magic metal mines we offered him. I wonder why that madman is here today, I always wonder why he doesn't fit in with anyone in his family. I guess the Royal family has its own secrets that they want to hide. ‘
