1138 Treaty Signing

Landon stepped into the room with Lucia, only to see mother Beverly shedding hard stone tears while Uther was comforting her helplessly.

The other elders around were also helpless as well.

"Ooooo~~~... How could he kill himself? Doesn't he know how much she loves him?... Oooooooo~~."

Uther could only say: "There. There." From time to time while patting her back.

Lucia quickly told Landon the matter, making him stunned and speechless.

So, she was crying over the death of a movie character?

(-_-)

Well, the movie she watched was a reenactment of the modern film -Me before You-

The story initially talked about a wealthy young man who was always living on the edge and enjoying life... That is until he had an accident that left him in a wheelchair.

His parents tried everything to make him happy, but he was just going through grief.

And when they finally hired a caretaker, the 2 fell in love with themselves.

But in the end, the man still decided to pull the plug on his life.

Not only did he not want her to live with such a man as himself, but he also didn't want to live on like this.

So he stopped medications and ended his life.

The entire movie was dramatic and very tear-jerking.

But the medications Landin did to the movie made it even more sorrowful.

He made the movie with medieval settings.

And in this era where cripples were disdained and even abused with rotten tomatoes and insults, not many people saw them as human.

The girl's love for him and their tribulations in medieval settings, made many feel ashamed of how they used to think of cripples.

The movie started changing the world, even if it was by a little.

Now, many who saw the film didn't look at disabled people with disdain and hate anymore.

At the same time, they tried their best not to look at them with too much pity and treat them as if nothing happened.

They thought the girl in the movie was brave and truly loved him.

But even at that, he still chose to kill himself and free her from the vicious eyes of the many medieval people treating her as a fool.

Uther and several others who watched the movie an hour ago, felt touched and sad.

If one watched that movie and didn't feel a store of emotions within them, then they were truly rotten inside.

Beverly wiped her years pitifully and looked at Landon a little carefully: "Why did you kill him off?"

"_"

Landon, who took his seat, almost fell over when he heard her sorrowful complaint.

Well. His name was in the credit scenes as the scriptwriter and one of the directors.

So for sure, it was his idea.

But how would he have known that people would glare at him for it?

Hey! He was just trying to tell a story and get the message across, alright?

Well, during these last few days, they had all gotten to know each other and were now very lax with one another.

The greatest thing that made him, Uther, Beverly and the elders open up to one another was technology.

That's right.

The moment he personally drove them around the city and also showed them the solar light bulbs and whatnot, they were so excited that they turned into children holding him and talking nonstop about it all.

So now, the barrier had been broken, and they were all friendly with one another.

Technology had always been what had broken the barrier between him and many people.

It was the same even in Baymard when he first started out.

Please! In the face of awesomeness, there were no titles... This was something he discovered.

.

Everyone sat along the table and talked a bit while Landon's secretary, Brian, calmly shared several documents to them... as well as placed bottles of water before pushing his glasses in and calmly standing behind Landon's side

(*□^□)

He looked at his watch for a while and stroked the triangle.

~Ding.

Everyone stopped chatting and became serious.

The meeting was on!

And right off the bat, they jumped into the Treaty matters, reading every clause, sentence and word there.

They did this for a bit and discussed topics they didn't understand well enough too.

When it came to trade, Uther nodded his head in agreement.

"It is a fact that trading with Baymard will be very beneficial to us... Especially if we can get items like mattresses, blankets, socks, coats and whatnot.

They are all very essential for us here who have extreme weather. So it's not a bad idea."

Everyone else in the room agreed too.

Before today, they had come to understand this import and export thing a little bit more.

And while they would be importing Baymardian goods, the Baymardians also wanted several of their goods too.

Yes. There were many seeds, grains, dried fruits like dates, special nuts called silver nuts, and countless other edible items that could only be found around these parts.

Additionally, there were some textile raw materials here that warrant in Pyno and some cute pets too.

Well, they also wanted to get some ores too.

In truth, Baymard itself had many official merchant suppliers around Pyno that supply Brass, Copper and a few other ores that weren't in their mines.

With their production rate of various items, these ores were used for making countless items all at once.

So, it was never enough to have just one supplier.

For each mineral ore unavailable in Baymard, there were at least 5 official suppliers for them, which were at times contracted by the other Pyno empires.

So while Baymard made money by selling its products out, the other empire made money by producing several raw materials for them.

Baymard couldn't possibly have all raw materials, be it for textiles and whatnot.

Luckily, with the new regions, they found that they also had several more mines filled with saltpetre and Iron ores.

Well, they still needed a lot of materials from out of Baymard.

That said, here in Zalipnia, Landon had seen sugarcanes, several medicinal and poisonous herbs that could be researched for treatments and so on.

There was a lot to trade with the people here.

Both sides were making money, which greatly pleased everyone.

And this also meant that with the need of many batches, more people would get steady jobs too.

So how could they not be happy?

Trade was a must!

But on a more important note, what was this Bay-Zalipnian transport thing?
