"Extraordinary materials equivalent to the value of the equipment, and a stable way to obtain extraordinary materials?"
Earl Witre was stunned for a moment, then looked at Charlotte meaningfully, and couldn't help but said:
"My Lord Count...it seems that you have gained a lot from Boulder!"
Charlotte smiled slightly but did not deny it.
She certainly had a lot to gain from Boulder.
After this war, the merger of the Tulip Earldom and the unification of the entire Northland was a certainty, and the captured Duchess and the Boulder army represented a ransom even greater than the amount of the Violet Principality.
Not to mention, in order to curry favor with the third prince, Bold also participated in the war with many nobles from the Principality of Bould, and most of these nobles, one by one, became prisoners.
This is another huge ransom.
Of course, with Bold's financial resources, it would be quite difficult to come up with such a huge sum of money.
However, you can exchange it for something.
For example...the magic array and extraordinary technology possessed by Bold.
This is much stronger than the technology of the Violet Principality.
You must know that the relevant magic energy technology of the Bold Principality was obtained by the former Duke from the Crescent Royal Family in his early years, and the overall effect is much better than that of the Violet Principality.
Not only that, Bold's magic technology can also be used in the maintenance of the Kingdom's standing army. After Charlotte gets it, she can directly use the captured Kingdom's standing equipment of the Third Prince's Guard.
】
The quality of the more than a thousand sets of equipment was much better than that of the ordinary principals. They were all enchanted plate armors. After acquiring them, Charlotte had no intention of returning them at all. Instead, she planned to hack them all.
She had done her homework in advance. The guards assigned to the prince had actually become the prince's private soldiers, and even the king no longer had the right to interfere.
The third prince was already at fault in this war. Even if Charlotte ate these equipment, as long as they were operated properly, the Crescent Royal Family would probably have to hold their noses and swallow.
As for the other extraordinary equipment...
There are currently not many extraordinary soldiers in the Castel Territory, and if they are kept, they will only eat dust. They will also have to pay expensive maintenance costs, and the quality is not as good as the kingdom's regular soldiers. Charlotte had no intention of staying in the first place.
Count Witre pondered for a moment and replied:
"My Lord Earl, I will report your request to Your Majesty the Duke. Although extraordinary materials equivalent to the value of the equipment are precious, they are not irreplaceable. However, this requires the Duke's approval. After all, it is difficult to come up with so many materials at once. Quite difficult, but..."
He paused, shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid it's not that simple to obtain extraordinary materials stably."
"Oh? Why is that?"
Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly.
Count Witray thought for a while and said:
"My lord, the source of extraordinary materials in each principality has its own system, which is the result of the long-term management of each family. Our Violet Principality is rich in Warcraft resources, but there are not many other extraordinary resources. It is formed by barter with other principalities. to create our own stable path.”
"In addition, the sources of some key extraordinary materials are directly controlled by the royal family, and the vassals of each kingdom only receive them regularly according to quotas. This part of the scarce resources is completely insufficient even for us, Violet."
"If you want Warcraft materials, we can provide them, and we can even sign a long-term cooperation agreement. But if it's other extraordinary resources, I'm afraid it won't work."
After hearing what Count Witre said, Charlotte's heart moved slightly and she suddenly realized:
"I see……"
She had not been exposed to these before, so she was not very clear about it. She thought that each principality had a stable and comprehensive source of extraordinary materials.
Looking at it now, it turns out that everyone is buying each other!
It's just bartering.
Count Witray continued:
"Lord Earl, if you are determined to cultivate extraordinary preparations in the future and build your own extraordinary material path for Castel, we at Violet can provide some help and introduce you to other principalities."
"I can also provide help myself. In Violet, I am responsible for the principality's extraordinary transactions."
"Almost every principality in the Crescent Kingdom has its own special extraordinary resources, and everyone's own extraordinary material channels are also established through mutual cooperation."
"Of course, Castor is across the sea from the Fallen Star Kingdom. You can also try to establish cooperation with the Fallen Star Kingdom. However... the Fallen Star Kingdom has strict control over the export of extraordinary resources, so the effect may not be good."
"Castle already owns precious mithril mines, which can be used as the basis for transactions. I think... the various lords of the kingdom should also welcome it."
After hearing what Count Witre said, Charlotte nodded slightly.
Castle's mithril is indeed popular.
Most of the envoys from various lords who visited her during this period proposed trade proposals for mithril.
In the past, Castel was a vassal of Bold, and the sale of mithril was also restricted. Except for a small amount of transactions, those huge transactions could only be sold to the trading partners designated by the principality, and only gold towers could be obtained. Accept.
This is also one of the reasons why Castel has always been in possession of mithril mines, but extraordinary resources are scarce.
It's different now.
Once Castell becomes independent, these restrictions will no longer exist, and it will be logical to establish its own extraordinary trade system.
"I understand, thank you for clarifying my doubts, Mr. Witre."
Charlotte said with a slight greeting.
Count Witray smiled and said:
"You're welcome, Lord Earl. This information about the extraordinary realm is not a secret among the direct vassals of other kingdoms in the principality. The reason why you don't know it is because you have not entered this circle. Once you become independent from Bold, you will know it sooner or later."
Earl Witre's attitude was sincere, and the atmosphere in the meeting hall became more relaxed.
Although it was a peace talk after a war, it was more like a trade negotiation.
There are no permanent enemies among nobles.
Sit down and have a friendly chat right after the battle. Similar things are quite common in the human world of Miria.
To put it bluntly, when nobles look up their genealogy, one of them is the same, and they are all somewhat related to each other.
Either far or near.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Count Witre also smiled and made the last proposal:
"Your Majesty, regarding the exchange between the third prince and Earl Lint, please see..."
"Sorry, I can't agree to this."
Charlotte shook her head and rejected it outright.
Count Witre's smile suddenly froze.
