Chapter 202: Exchange ruins for territory (4 updates)
Matthew, who didn't want to act too hastily, watched these worried and frightened half-elves leave.

Angela will arrange them in the safest area of ​​the fish-man castle, and when the teleportation array is activated at night, they will be sent directly back to the territory.

If nothing else happens, these half-elves will be the treasures of the territory.

Regarding this sudden unexpected joy, Matthew's current idea is to see if there is any way to get more from the Carlisle family!
Matthew believes that he attaches great importance to talent.

We are willing to create better living and living conditions for them and meet their requirements and growth needs as much as possible.

Let them not worry about "mundane things" and show their talents to the greatest extent possible.

To promote the development of the entire territory, we will contribute our due share.

Therefore, the more talents, the better.

Rather than leaving it to the enemy, it is better to take it into your own hands.

Adam Smith, who was currently communicating, took out the communication scroll in front of Hawke and Brown as if nothing had happened. He smiled for no reason, which made the two people opposite him feel a little nervous.

Adam Smith casually threw the communication scroll to the side, completely ignoring the probing glances of the two men.

He continued to point to the ruins on the map and said in an extremely confident tone and tone:

"We Mingren don't tell secrets. We know very well what is inside this ruins. There is wealth of at least millions of gold coins there!"

Millions of gold coins!
The huge wealth instantly broke through the psychological defenses of the two of them, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Seeing the stunned expressions of the two men, the smile on Adam Smith's face faded slightly.

He pretended to have accidentally let something slip, then showed a malicious smile and said softly in a teasing tone:

"It seems like you don't actually know what's under the ruins, right?"

"I don't know if it's because you don't have enough status, or because the above didn't explain it to you..."

Hearing what Adam Smith said, the two of them felt a slight shock in their hearts.

Brown, who considered himself a core member of the Carlisle family, couldn't help but think of Viscount Larry's expressionless face, and felt a little bitter in his heart.

"So, it turns out that I was the one who was so sentimental all along?"

Next to him, Hawke's eyes widened, and he kept muttering about the profits of millions of gold coins, and couldn't help but feel hot.

After speaking, Adam Smith did not continue to say anything, but watched the two of them with interest.

After noticing his expression, the two people who calmed down immediately thought of it.

Since Adam Smith mentioned this matter to them, there must be something useful for them.

Otherwise, there is absolutely no need to waste time here.

Unable to suppress the greed in his heart and wanting to recover his losses or even make a fortune, Hawke took the initiative and asked tentatively:

"Mr. Adam Smith, as you said, there is no need for us to waste each other's time. Is there anything we can do?"

Seeing Hawke's decisiveness, Adam Smith felt inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Although there are always many fools in the nobility, there are also many smart people. He did not hesitate anymore and straightforwardly showed his cards to the two of them:
"The Lord is very satisfied with the half-elf slaves you provided, so he decided to contact the Carlisle family through the two of you."

"The Gulf Territory can cooperate with the Carlisle family to jointly develop this ruins with a wealth of millions of gold coins."

"But we need to control the restoration rights and territory of Sweetwater Town..."

Hawke carefully pondered what Adam Smith said, and he quickly extracted several key points:
"The Bay Territory needs more half-elf slaves, which is one of my advantages..." "Contacting the Carlisle family through Brown and I is giving us two opportunities, and at the same time it is a test..."

"The restoration rights and territory of Sweetwater Town should be the conditions mentioned by the Gulf Territory..."

"In fact, the reason why the Gulf Territory proposed such conditions is to make the Carlisle family compromise so as to gain a greater advantage in terms of compensation!"

Hawk thought a lot at this moment, and he knew how difficult it would be to convince the Carlisle family to exchange their territory for the development of the ruins.

But Hawke has no choice!
He raised his head without hesitation and said to Adam Smith in a very firm tone:
"No problem, the two of us will definitely convince the Carlisle family to agree to cooperate with the Gulf Territory."

Brown, who had figured it out, naturally wanted to seize this opportunity and show his role and sincerity:
"Yes, I will definitely convince Viscount Larry to agree to this matter. We also want to cooperate with the Gulf Territory."

"As for the issue of compensation, we will definitely convince the Carlisle family."

Adam Smith expressed great satisfaction with the understanding between the two of them.

He smiled and talked with them for a while, until both of them became a little anxious, and then signaled that they could go back to the discussion.

Matthew was quite satisfied with Adam Smith's persuasive ability and asked in a slightly joking tone:
"Can the two of them handle it?"

Adam Smith could hear the intimacy in Matthew's tone. While thinking about the half-elf slave, he answered quite confidently:
"In order to have greater voice and interests, and not to be abandoned by the Carlisle family, they will definitely do their best."

"Anyway, for them, only a very small part of these things belong to them. Don't you feel bad for me..."

This is the nobility!
This is human nature!
Interestingly, Matthew and Adam Smith did not have to wait long.

Just two hours later, the two people who transmitted it received the news that the Carlisle family fully agreed.

At this point, the conflict between the Gulf Territory and the Carlisle family came to an end.

Next, they plan to join forces to jointly develop the ruins next to the fishman camp.

Time came to noon.

The prisoners who had been busy for a long time stopped working at the call of their respective team leaders.

There was a little bit of anxiety and hesitation in their eyes, and from time to time some people lowered their heads and gathered together to discuss in a low voice.

Until the burly Beelzebub appeared again, shouting at the top of his voice to everyone:

"Okay, the morning's work is done, everyone should wash themselves and get ready for lunch."

Do you really have lunch?

All the prisoners were still doubtful.

Until they lined up and came to a new large pool, where they happily washed away the mud and dirt.

Then, under the leadership of the squad leader, each of them received two large pieces of black bread and a large bowl of broth with visible pieces of meat.

Only then did everyone feel completely relieved, and started eating with complicated thoughts.

They are already hungry!

Tasting the taste of meat that they had not tasted for a long time, the captives felt deep doubts.

Why do we eat better when we are prisoners than before we were captured?
