Chapter 426 Interest Negotiation

Various lively performances continued in the Golden Feather City, and the king and a group of nobles returned to the magnificently decorated Golden Feather Palace after having fun with the people.

Led by King Bruno, the nobles paid homage to the shrine of Emperor Orlant, and then to the shrine of the first king of Alduin.

At first, Ronin was a little surprised why the shrine of Emperor Orlant was worshiped.

He understood it after thinking carefully.

When the empire split, Alduin and Tricia stood out. Although they established their own kingdoms in the end, they both claimed to be the blood of the Orlant Empire and had legal inheritance rights. It was natural for them to pay homage to Emperor Orlant.

After Lulans's private introduction, there were no remains or anything like that in the emperor's shrine. The first king just found some clothes and other things of the Orlant family and put them in it. It was more appropriate to say that it was a cenotaph.

In Ronin's opinion, it didn't matter whether they were descendants of the emperor. What mattered was that they all had rationality in that environment.

It seems that no matter which world you are in, if you want to establish yourself as a king, you'd better use a more appropriate banner.

After going through these tedious procedures, the royal family and the nobles officially started their celebration banquet.

Although the content of the event is somewhat similar to that outside, it is undoubtedly more advanced here, whether it is food, drink, or what to see and play, they are all top-notch.

After a busy half-day of bathing and changing clothes, Bruno summoned Rulans and Ronin separately.

Although it was summoned separately, in addition to the three of them, the royal family also had Crown Prince Garrett, Deputy Head of the Griffin Knights Brol, and several ministers of finance and government affairs in the hall.

Rulans brought along Albert, the political officer, and Curry, the financial officer.

The content of the discussion was nothing else but the marriage between the royal family and the Wushan family.

Such an occasion was not as advanced as imagined, but more like a blind date to discuss marriage.

For example, Wushan Territory gave up part of the mining rights of a large iron mine, strengthened Wushan Territory's support for the royal family in military operations, strengthened the mutual visits and settlement of the two sides' merchant groups, provided more convenient, fast and preferential port trade, etc.

The negotiations lasted from the afternoon until the sun was setting, and the content involved almost covered many aspects such as politics, economy, military, culture, and family interests.

"In addition to these, I heard that the light attribute magicians under Ronin can make two special magic potions, one is the awakening potion, and the other is the strength enhancement potion. I hope Ronin can allow the royal family to participate in the production of magic potions, so as to obtain a certain share."

On the throne, Bruno opened his mouth and put forward the final cooperation expectations.

Since the beginning of the negotiations, the two parties involved were basically the royal family and Wushan Castle. Unexpectedly, Bruno suddenly turned the topic to Wubei Territory, and the sleepy Ronin perked up.

Of these two potions, he only planned to sell the awakening potion, and the auxiliary enhancement potion was mostly left for internal digestion, and at most only a little bit would flow out.

He didn't expect the royal family to set their sights on magic potions, and the kingdom itself proposed it, which clearly didn't give him a chance to decline.

Ronin thought for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, both the upgrade potion and the awakening potion are very expensive."

Bruno smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't take it for nothing. As long as you agree to transfer 50% of the shares to the royal family, I can give Wubeiling 15 adult griffins and 5 young griffins, and provide you with professional breeders and trainers for free."

Ronin's eyes lit up.

Bruno had promised to give Ronin griffins at the beginning, but the number would definitely not be so many.

Each griffin is very valuable. If he gives so many at one time, the total price is estimated to reach 700,000 or 800,000 gold coins.

But it's still not enough to buy 50% of the future share with these 700,000 or 800,000 gold coins.

Apart from anything else, Ronin is going to set the price of the awakening potion at 1,000 gold coins. 700,000 or 800,000 can only buy 700 or 800 bottles.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that the materials used to make the awakening potion are very expensive. The water from the Magic Spring is sold at 100 gold coins per milliliter, and the Star Grass is sold at 200 gold coins per plant. Together with other auxiliary potions, the cost is close to 400 gold coins."

"The Fury Grass needed for the enhancement potion is also very expensive, and one plant costs 400 gold coins..."

Ronin was not afraid of being stolen when he mentioned these materials.

Take the awakening potion for example. It must be made by a magician with light attributes. It is useless for others to know the method;

As for the auxiliary enhancement potion, it also involves Monroe flowers, magic crystal dust and pure water essence. Incomplete materials will only lead to production failure.

It is worth mentioning that after Karada searched for several months on Rapids Island, he found Monroe flowers in a valley, and Elron planned to establish a breeding nursery for Monroe flowers there.

Garrett, the Minister of Finance and others recorded this information calmly.

Bruno smiled slightly. He could hear that Ronin was saying that the value of twenty griffins was not enough.

"Then tell me, what do you want in exchange for selling 50% of your shares?"

Garet added: "Ronin, these two magic potions are strategic resources. The war is about to start, and I hope our knights will become stronger. This is not only about interests, but also about the strength of the kingdom."

Ronin smiled and said: "As a vassal, I will naturally do my part for the strength of the kingdom."

He pondered for a while, "How about this, I can give up 50% of the share, but Your Majesty needs to provide me with the magic potions I just mentioned for free."

In addition, if possible, I hope Your Majesty can arrange for the kingdom's civilians to immigrate to my territory. You know, I am very short of people there.

Bruno frowned slightly. Immigration is easy to talk about. It's just that the royal family has to pay for these costs...

The Minister of Finance Luther Cox next to him smiled and said, "Baron, these costs are very high. If all the materials are provided by us, wouldn't you make a net profit of half?"

"That's not right."

Ronin smiled and shook his head: "First of all, Wubei Territory provided indispensable manpower. Without my light magician, these potions could not be made!"

"Secondly, Lord Luther, you don't think that these two potions only need these few potions, right? The cost of the remaining potions is about the same as the ones just mentioned. That is to say, your majesty provides half of the materials, and I am responsible for the remaining half."

Lulans stroked his crutches on the side, "Your Majesty, this is your future son-in-law. You can't let him provide both manpower and labor and still lose money, right?"

Bruno laughed, "Of course not!"

He believed what Ronin said. After all, no one would be stupid enough to tell all the materials needed for magic potions. What is missing may be more critical things, and the price must be high.

"In that case, let's make a tentative decision. If we find it inappropriate later, we will discuss and revise it."

Bruno made the final decision, "As for the immigration mentioned by Ronin, it's simple. Many cities are overloaded with people, and famine is inevitable. Arseno, you go to various cities to recruit a group of people and send them to Ronin according to the standards of big cities."

Ronin smiled brightly.

The standard of a big city is 100,000 people. Bruno is going to send him 100,000 people!

After obtaining the Purple Thunder Territory a while ago, Ronin's registered population was close to 300,000.

It is estimated that when he returns this time, the last batch of Lulans will be almost transported to Wubei Territory.

At that time, the achievement of [Population Prosperity] can be completed.

If Bruno's group of people is added, although it is not known whether it can reach the next stage of achievement, it can at least allow Wubei Territory to have a large city with a population of 100,000.

With a large city, the achievement of [Conquering Cities] can be completed.

"Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty!" Ronin stood up to thank him.

Earlier, he was already satisfied with his current personal strength, after all, he was already at the top of the Orlant Continent.

But since Sophia arrived, he knew that not only Silver Moon and the Mage were not good enough, but even the Sun and the Great Mage were not good enough.

He had a more urgent need to become a legend, and therefore attribute points and energy essence became more important. (End of this chapter)
