"Lord Shado, I will continue my work on Skum, but you should also understand that even after deducting the impact of personal relationships, Giles Towers uses their most competitive technology to make transactions."
Badigal was still trying to persuade Xia Duo. Although Xia Duo was a little dissatisfied, he was also worried that he would be forced too far and let Seven Towers get a substandard one to deceive him.
As long as it is better than the plane exploration array currently used by the Tower of Time, it is actually difficult to tell whether it is the latest, and the definition of the latest is also very unclear. What is the latest and what is strong, both sides can have different understandings.
This makes it difficult for contracts to work. Only certain things can be bound by contracts. Xia Duo doesn't care what others do. When he signs a contract, the most important content of the contract is not what the two parties agree on, but all kinds of things. Definition, define the agreement between the parties, and various specific possible breach scenarios.
The problem now is that Sha Duo knows very little about the depth of Qita's research on plane exploration technology, and Qita doesn't know much about his floating city or, more precisely, the floating city's mystery lock.
It was an almost double-blind game. Both parties wanted to get what they wanted as much as possible while paying the least. The main reason for this was that Xia Duo was the first to show his sincerity.
In fact, his sincerity is not much. He only made it clear that the floating city, including the Mystic Lock, can be traded, and that's all. This is the only prerequisite that makes this transaction possible.
"In this case, it is impossible for the floating city to be packaged and traded as a whole. I think it is better to do this. I will provide some details of the mystery lock first, and then you will provide some details of the plane exploration technology. We will decide after seeing each other's samples. Deal or not, how about Lord Badigal deciding on this proposal?”
Obviously, after the signing of the new covenant and the convening of the general meeting, the two parties were trying to figure each other out and the basis of mutual trust disappeared. Now the transaction has become more pure, just a transaction, so follow the normal transaction process.
It has to be said that Shado's proposal made Badigal very moved. He looked at Horn, who was also moved. The two exchanged looks, and then agreed:
"As Lord Chateau said, when can we exchange samples?"
"I can hand over some of the details of the mystery lock to you first. After you read it, you can decide what kind of sample to give me. If the transaction is cancelled, then this part can be considered as my gift to you."
With that said, Shado used transcription to print some of the details of the mystery on a blank notebook in front of Badigal and Horn.
He cast the spell many times before and after, almost filling up the blank notebook. When he handed the note to Badigal, Badigal's breathing was obviously a little rapid.
"Lord Shado is very sincere. I will discuss with Skum and the others to send the samples to the south as soon as possible. I hope that both you and I can get a satisfactory result from this transaction. Even if the transaction fails, we will provide these notes. A reasonable return.”
Badigal solemnly put away the transcription notes. After that, the two parties stopped talking about the transaction. Instead, they talked about the newly established parliamentary agencies. Badigal asked Chateau if he had any suitable candidates.
"There are many citizens in my territory who are proficient in law and like books. It would be great if they could join the Legal Research Association and the Great Library." Xia Duo naturally talked about his plans.
"This is a simple matter. The Bactrian Codex of the southern Bactria Territory is famous throughout the country. Even in the northern countries, there are many legends. It is a blessing for the Legal Research Association to be joined by people from the Bactria Territory who are proficient in law. As for the Big Book Pavilion——"
Badigal paused for a moment, but did not refuse. "The establishment of the Great Library requires the help of scholars from all over the world. Of course, scholars from Daxia Territory are also welcome."
"Then I'll have them come to Severton after the autumn harvest."
"Well, in fact, if Lord Xia Duo is willing, he can ask them to come over now. These two organizations are short of manpower now! Do they have anything else to be busy with recently?"
"That's not true. The main reason is that the opportunity to work for the Parliament is rare. I always have to select one or two from the territory and send the most capable elites to Severington. In addition, the territory will hold an art festival in a while. I want them to finish it. Come back to Severington on Christmas Day.”
"Art Festival?" Badigal's mind was spinning, and he always felt that he couldn't keep up with Sha Duo's thoughts. He asked with some uncertainty, "Is it a festival like the Grand Fair in the Elf Country?"
"Pretty much, but the artists are all Netherese."
As its name suggests, the Grand Fair in the Elf Kingdom is not actually a festival with a specific date, but an art exchange, exhibition, and trading activity spontaneously organized by the Elf Art Festival. The scale can be large or small. If some famous artists participate, even Can attract a large number of foreign tourists.
Netheril also has such activities, but most of them are held by merchants in order to sell high prices for elven goods. The artists themselves do not participate, or the makers of those goods are not artists at all.
It's not so much an art festival as it is a small-scale art auction.
Of course, Chateau doesn't want to hold an auction. He wants to be a real artist and produce local art produced by local artists. Perhaps the creative process draws on the nutrients of elven art, but the objects of artistic creation are all local affairs.
The elves would not have the time to come over and create something specifically for the Netherese people. Even if they did, the protagonist would definitely have nothing to do with Netheril.
Shado had read a lot of literary and artistic works from Netheril and Erlan during their honeymoon period. Even if the authors were Netherese, the objects they described were more about the elven life they longed for.
Of course, what Shado wants is not those arts that worship foreigners. From the perspective of brilliant expression, Netheril currently still has a lot of room for improvement compared to the Elven Kingdom, but Netheril is not without improvement. .
Not to mention the southern border, with Xia Duo's vigorous development, it has shown a vitality that far exceeds that of the mainland. There are so many things that can be described, praised, and eulogized!
He wanted to discover art from the people and the people's art through art festivals one after another, and then shape the unique humanistic spirit of Daxia Territory to resist the invisible erosion of elven culture in the human spiritual realm.
Xia Duo briefly introduced the Art Festival in Daxia to Badigal, and extended an invitation to the Seven Towers to visit the southern border after the Harvest Festival.
"I will promote it inside Gustav Tower. If I have time, I would like to go and have a look in person." Badigal agreed immediately.
As a human with elven blood in his body, his opinion of elves is not good, or even very bad.
He very much hopes that humans can develop a unique culture instead of being assimilated by the elven culture. This is particularly important to him. If the Southern Culture Festival goes well, he is also ready to promote it in various territories of the Gustav Tower camp!
