Great Nobleman

When we said goodbye to the masters and returned to the Morning Dew Rose with Catherine to rest, it was already late at night.

According to the results of the meeting, everyone took action early the next morning.

After breakfast, on the deck of the Golden Wheat Field.

Master Holland said with some regret while drinking the wine:

"It seems that we can only wait until everything is over before exploring the space materials in this area.

Fortunately, we are the only ones who can move freely here and no one can compete with us."

Hearing this, Master Claude corrected:

"To be precise, only Brand and his men can move freely in this area, and we just happened to rent his ship.

In addition, it's a good thing that this guy didn't plan to monopolize it, otherwise we really couldn't do anything."

Master Robert smiled and said:

"Although Brand is greedy, he is not a short-sighted person.

The Endless Sea is so big, this space disorder area is definitely not the only one.

If we work together to explore, we can obviously get a bigger piece of the pie more efficiently.

Of course, we'd better give him some profits in the future, so that this guy won't feel unbalanced."

While chatting, Brand and Catherine flew onto the deck of the ship.

Then he greeted them:

"Good morning, masters. We are ready to set off. We are here to say goodbye now."

Hearing this, Master Romien nodded and said:

"We are also going to set off. We are now dividing the personnel.

[Blood Amber] No. 6 and No. 7 will leave the team to search separately. They will be led by the Claude Mage Corps and the Chesil Mage Corps respectively.

The remaining Golden Wheat Field and [Blood Amber] No. 4 and No. 5 will continue to act together."

Hearing this, he looked at the mages and knights who were carrying items between the ships next to him.

Brand spread his hands and said:

"If we are lucky, we may be able to find the Anville family and the Judgment Department fleet today.

Even if we are unlucky, we can directly conduct a carpet search according to the map after the maintenance of [Eye of Flowers] is completed in the afternoon.

We will find the Anville family and the Judgment Department fleet no later than the day after tomorrow.

But I don't know when the negotiations outside will reach an agreement."

Master Romien shook his head and said:

"Under the threat of a third party, others will also find ways to seize the time. We just need to wait for news now..."

...

After a brief chat with several masters.

Brand said goodbye and returned to the deck of the Morning Dew Rose with Catherine.

At this time, Celine had already brought people to the deck to fiddle with the water knight golem.

Seeing them coming back, she turned around and asked:

"Can we set off now?"

Hearing this, Brand nodded, then took out the communicator and ordered to the cockpit:

"Let's go, we are a little short of time, keep moving at full speed."

As Brand's voice fell, the Morning Dew Rose quickly set off from a standstill, and the Blood Amber No. 1 to No. 3 on the left and right followed immediately.

Next, they will continue to collect seabed materials according to the original plan.

As for the Judgment Department and the Anville Family Fleet... just search for them for the time being.

...

When Brand and others were active in the space disorder area.

In the conference room of a medium-sized ship near the secret realm where the imperial fleet was located.

The people in charge of the negotiations were sitting down one after another.

At the same time, the two Nagas acting as messengers also began to mobilize the extraordinary power in their bodies.

The next moment, water elements began to gather.

A female six-armed Naga composed of dark blue water elements appeared in the conference room, and after the two Nagas cast a spell for a while.

This water element six-armed Naga suddenly became agile, then stood up and greeted everyone in the conference hall in Elvish.

Because this scene was not the first time, everyone was not surprised.

In their opinion, this should be similar to the [human-shaped phantom] method of the Imperial Noble Conference.

——A Naga was remotely controlling this water element six-armed Naga and sharing senses.

After the polite greetings, today's negotiations quickly began.

Knowing that time was running out, the negotiating representative of the Empire went straight to the point:

"After these two days of contact, we are now more clear about your demands.

The things in the secret realm may not be useful to us, and handing over a small part of them to you will not affect our interests too much, so the conflict between us is not sharp.

This is an important basis for negotiation.

And because your previous actions have greatly reduced our perception of you.

So there is a lack of trust between us at present, and the soil for cooperation is very weak.

Based on this, we now have a proposal:

We can sell the secret realm key directly to you next, and then withdraw from the competition for the secret realm.

In this way, the trust problem can be solved directly.

But there is a premise here:

We will not sell valuable things like the secret realm key to our enemies.

For the enemy, we usually only choose to fight.

So in response to your previous two attacks on our imperial ports, and the subsequent battles with us, which caused us losses.

You are required to provide compensation that satisfies us.

After this, our empire will also abandon the previous conflicts and view you from a neutral perspective.

Regarding this point, I hope you can seriously consider it. "

As soon as I said this, I realized that today's negotiation was finally no longer a meaningless mutual test.

Whether it was the two Naga envoys or the Naga who was participating in the negotiations remotely with the body of the water element, they did not consciously become serious.

In their view, this proposal is obviously feasible, but the specific details need to be further improved.

In addition, issues regarding price and compensation also need to be discussed.

——They have all heard of the "good reputation" of human nobles!

…

That afternoon, when the ship docked again, I watched knights and golems jump off the side of the ship quickly under the control of everyone.

Celine said happily:

“This is the last place.

After the resources here are collected, the remaining bits and pieces will be left to a few earls.

Lest they find out the truth and accuse us of eating alone. "

Hearing this, Brand couldn't help but be surprised and said:

"There are still corners? Hasn't Sister Celine already dug through the entire seabed?"

After hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at Brand, who was next to him with a smile on his face.

Celine couldn't help but reach out and want to pinch Brand's cheek as punishment, but Brand avoided it keenly.

While continuing to try, Celine also smiled and explained:

“The seabed in this area is not entirely flat, and many areas are very complex.

Although we have roughly gone through everything, there are definitely some omissions.

In addition... due to the influence of the fog, we did not explore the depths of the strata beneath the seabed.

Therefore, there must still be some resources on the seabed, but they are hidden deeper and are not easy to find.

And there are actually a lot of [inferior space resources] under the sea, because their value is relatively low..."

Halfway through her words, Celine briefly stopped talking because both of her hands were held in Brand's hands and she was held in Brand's arms.

Brand's eyes gradually flickered, as if he was about to move.

Celine tries to divert Brand's attention:

"In short, you should pay more attention to the follow-up actions than these trivial matters.

An artifact belonging to the sea elves, the [Abyssal Halberd] is most likely the new design of the [Abyssal Halberd] in recent times.

If we can take its components and study them, maybe we can find a way to upgrade the [Deep Sea Halberd], and the heritage of our North Holland family can become deeper.

If necessary, I have many powerful spell scrolls that can be used. "

Speaking of this, Brand couldn't help but look at the trident pattern on the back of his right hand.

Celine also took this opportunity to successfully break away from his arms.

The heirs of the [Barbarian Hoof Tribe] forged a rough prototype, and then the dean, his friends, and Sister Celine upgraded it based on the original design, and finally obtained the modern artifact [Deep Sea Halberd].

In fact, it has just crossed the threshold of the ranks of "artifacts of modern times"!

Compared with those artifacts that have been upgraded and optimized by many masters, it is obviously still inferior.

Therefore, if they can obtain the formation of [Abyssal Halberd] for research, they will definitely gain something.

But after thinking for a moment, Brand held Celine's waist, shook his head and said:

“I’m not prepared to invest too much in this matter.

[Deep Sea Halberd] is basically enough. Use it when you have the chance, and just give up if you don't have the chance.

The trump cards are kept for when they are needed more. "

After hearing this, he glanced sideways at Brand, who looked like that.

Celine nodded solemnly and agreed:

"That's true. After you go back, I'll supervise your daily practice."

At the moment Brand's face suddenly changed.

Celine curled her long hair with one hand and said with a smile:

"Think about it carefully. After becoming a magister, you seem to have never practiced seriously at all. That's it!"
