The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Countess Katis automatically ignored Soran's praise!

She thought for a long time, and finally compromised and said: "Baron Soran, tell me your real conditions! A 30% profit share is absolutely impossible! I can only give you another 50% at most!"

The special situation faced by Countess Curtis means that she cannot lose the sea salt refining and purification process!

Because if His Royal Highness Prince Leo II gets this technology, there is a high probability that His Royal Highness will choose to cooperate with her rival, the Duke of the Netherlands.

After all, they are the real relatives with blood relationship!

Then by then, I will be in big trouble!

Originally, in the competition between the two sides, our side was at a disadvantage!

And with this wave of support from the other side, the collapse will surely be even faster!

So Countess Katis had to compromise!

Seeing this, Sauron pondered for a long time!

Actually he was pretending!

But in the end he finally said: "20% profit is not impossible, but I need some other conditions!"

"You tell me first!" Countess Katis said in a deep voice.

She did not rashly agree directly, fearing that Sauron would ask for an exorbitant amount of money again!

"Two conditions: first, give me 20 gold coins in cash; second, 2000 slaves!" Sauron held up two fingers.

"Hahahaha, Baron Sauron, do you really think I'm easy to talk to?" Countess Katis laughed in anger, completely losing her previous elegance.

"Hahahaha, Lord Earl, don't be angry, don't be angry! If you don't agree, we can discuss it! I didn't say that we can't discuss it!"

"For example, the 20 out of the 10 gold coins, Lord Earl, just consider it as a loan to me first, and you can use the profit share to offset it later!"

"We are doing business! Negotiations come and go, and business is a give-and-take, right?"

Soran quickly laughed it off!

Because just for a moment, she felt an astonishing chill in the eyes of Countess Katis!

This made his back suddenly feel cold!

He was really afraid that the Countess would have a disagreement and kill him without any care!

After all, women are emotional animals. Once they get angry, who knows what they will do!

This Sauron doesn't dare to gamble!

Because I really can’t afford the gamble!

“I give you three conditions for cooperation:

First, the profit sharing ratio remains unchanged at 15%;

Second, I will give you 200,000 gold coins in cash, but 100,000 of them will be considered as a loan from me, and will be deducted from your share in the future.

Third, 1000 people, but you can only go to Ganise City to recruit free people yourself. I will never give you slaves! And I won’t give you any more! "

"That's all. Do you agree to it?" Countess Katis had a stern look on her face and spoke in a firm tone that would not tolerate any refusal!

What else could Sauron do but pretend to agree reluctantly!

If he still dared to bargain, I'm afraid Countess Katis would directly ask Butler Mark to throw him out of the window of the living room!

Outside the window of the living room is a 200-meter-high cliff!

Below the cliff is an ocean with turbulent waves and undercurrents!

But in fact, Sauron was already secretly happy!

A few days ago, he discussed with Wolfe, Adam and others and decided to get 15 gold coins in cash from Countess Katis.

And now it is 5 more than expected!

As for the 2000 slaves, it was also Sauron's impromptu idea!

Because his White Bear Territory is really short of people!

Of course, he didn't expect Countess Katis to really give him 2000 slaves!

Because according to the current price of 20 to 30 gold coins for a young and strong slave, 2000 slaves would be worth tens of thousands of gold coins!

But now we can get the recruitment quota of 1000 subjects, which is not bad!

After all, it was a spur-of-the-moment idea and something unexpected, so it must be wasted!

"Come on, Lord Earl, let's have a drink and wish us a pleasant cooperation!" Soran raised his teacup and gestured to Countess Katis.

Countess Katis's expression remained cold, but she also raised her teacup and said indifferently: "Happy cooperation!"

Then both of them took a sip of tea!

Soran: Mmm~ It smells so good!

……

"My Lord Earl, I actually have another request and would like to ask for your help!" Soran suddenly said.

Hearing this, Countess Katis, who had regained some of her composure after seeing the cooperation was finalized, suddenly frowned and changed color.

But just as she was about to speak, Soran saw her change of expression and quickly explained:

"Lord Earl, calm down! Calm down! This favor has nothing to do with personal gain. It's just a small favor! Just a small favor!"

"You say!" Countess Katis's face became gloomy again, and her tone was very unfriendly.

"That's right!" Soran quickly explained: "The people that His Royal Highness the Second Prince sent to my territory this time to ask for the process of refining and purifying sea salt were three brave knights!"

"But my subordinates are not strong enough. I am afraid that if I refuse them, they will use tough means to force me to hand over this technology by force!"

"So, could you please ask the Earl to send a high-ranking knight to help me calm down the situation and prevent them from causing trouble?"

"Oh! So that's how it is!" Countess Katis smiled knowingly: "It's a small matter, it's okay!"

Looking at Countess Katis's smile, Soran felt something was wrong, but he couldn't guess what was wrong!

So he could only say respectfully: "Thank you very much, Lord Earl!"

Upon hearing this, Countess Katis took a sip of tea, then leaned back in her chair and said with a smile: "Baron Soran, you don't have to thank me, you just need to give me enough money!"

"Also, let me remind you that asking a high-ranking knight to help you is not cheap!"

Soran was stunned!

Then he rolled his eyes!

It was intentional. Countess Katis definitely did it on purpose!

Just pay for anything! It's not cheap!

Sending out a high-ranking knight is just a matter of your words!

She must be waiting for revenge!

But what can Sauron do?

He can only accept it with a pinch of his nose!

Anyway, he has already made a lot of money from the Earl, so this little money is not a big deal!

Moreover, he was secretly a little happy!
