Chapter 369: True Alchemy
Translator: Lonelytree
Matthew asked,
āWhat experiment?ā
āItās about the development of āTrue Alchemyā!ā
Margaretās eyes lit up as she introduced,
ā You already know about the Capitalās series of spells, and you also know that my signature is True Transformation. This experiment is to combine these two fields. I want to turn ordinary substances into gold to maintain the huge consumption of the Capital series of spells!ā
It did sound quite promising.
If Matthew had some spare money, he might really agree to invest after Margaretās repeated requests.
Unfortunately, he was really poor now.
In the end.
He could only look at Margaret with a helpless expression before explaining seriously,
Iām sorry, Iām just a small mage who just joined the Alliance. I really donāt have any gold coins.
ā As for the knowledge points, they were all given to me by my teacher. Iām not sure if thereās a limit to the use of these knowledge points. Currently, my way of earning money is only on paper, and I canāt convert them into actual gold coins. ā
Margaret stared at him with wide eyes.
āSo you admit that your homework was to fool me?
āDo you want me to punish you?
āKneel down!ā
Matthew rolled his eyes and said,
āBut class time is over now.ā
It was still early to leave the Cauldron House. Matthew thought about it and decided to go to the liegeās residence to waste some time.
As expected, Lorraine and Zeller were still tugging at each other when they walked into the office hall.
Both of them were skilled in negotiations. Both sides had been going back and forth for more than ten hours. It seemed that it would be difficult to reach a conclusion in the short term.
Matthew and Rheagar exchanged glances.
The latter said to Matthew,
ā News came from Red Mountain this morning. They want to form an alliance with us. The negotiation venue is Barley City in the golden fertile fields.ā
Matthew sneered. Golden Fertile Field. Isnāt that their territory?ā
Rheagar nodded.
ā Exactly. Thatās why in my reply to them, I strongly requested that the negotiation venue be West Cove Farm, which is not far from the Southern Trade Station.ā
Matthew asked seriously, āDo you plan to form an alliance with them?ā
Rheagar shook his head.
āOf course not. They obviously donāt really want to form an alliance with us.
This negotiation is just to test each other. ā
Matthew pondered and said,
āDo you need my help?ā
Rheagar teased,
āIsnāt this too much trouble for you? I heard that itās not easy to be the illegitimate son of a big shot. The pressure is usually very high.ā
Matthew rolled his eyes at him.
At this moment, Zeller and Lorraine stopped in unison. Madam Wesley handed them a cup of tea each. From the empty cups beside them, it was not difficult to tell that they had been fighting for a long time in the early morning. Matthew smiled and asked them,
āHave the two of you made any progress in your negotiations?ā
Zeller took a sip of ginger water and cleared his throat.
Based on the premise of equality and respect, we have fully exchanged our opinions. ā
Matthew said regretfully, āSo you didnāt come to an agreement?ā Zeller also said helplessly,
āYour friend is offering a too high of a price.ā
Lorraine immediately raised his hands.
āIām not asking for an exorbitant price. All the prices were given to me by Alena herself.
āThis was her request. There were only two ways to achieve cooperation between the two parties.
āThe first was for Rolling Stone Town to send out a troop of no less than 30 elites.
āThis elite force had to go to Deep Blue Harbor as soon as possible and stay there permanently.
āAlena requested to be given the command of this unit.
āIn return.
āShe would marry Judy to Rhaegar.
āA brand new trade route would be opened between Deep Blue Harbor and Rolling Stone Town. She promised that the merchants of Rolling Stone Town would be exempted from all taxes if they shipped through the cargo terminal of Deep Blue Harbor.
āThere are also many preferential policies. I canāt remember them, but those are all minor details.
āThe second way of cooperation is for you to directly send out your army to help her suppress the rebellion in Deep Blue Port and resist the invasion of Lion City.
āIn return, she would marry Rheagar and give half of Deep Blue Portās ownership and profit rights to Rheagar.
āWhen Rolling Stone Town and Deep Blue Harbor became one, they would become a family.
āBut for Matthewās sake, I can tell you more details.
āAlena was not only negotiating with Rolling Stone Town, she was also negotiating with another noble in the Azure Islands and Lion City.
āRolling Stone Town was her preferred partner, but she didnāt plan to place all her hopes on you.
āIf you continue to drag this out, Iām afraid sheāll already be in someone elseās bed.ā
Zeller and Rheagar looked at each other.
The latter said calmly,
If thatās the case, Rolling Stone Town will send a small gift to Castellan
Alenaās wedding ceremony.ā
The meaning of this sentence couldnāt be more obvious.
The cooperation method proposed by Lady Alena was unacceptable to Rheagar. After a few days of careful consideration, he basically decided to reject her.
This was undoubtedly the right decision.
Matthew was very pleased.
Although Rheagar usually looked unreliable, his mind was still very clear at critical moments.
Lorraine obviously understood.
He revealed a relieved smile.
In that case, Iāll let Judy play for two more days before throwing her back to Deep Blue Harbor.
My mission has been successfully completed!
āNow, for Matthewās sake, weāre family.. How about a hug, family?ā
