Chapter 294 New ways of cooperation (1 update)
"20% over market price?"

Butler Ralph pondered for a while, which made Paris' heart skip a beat.

Unexpectedly, he didn't make things more difficult, he just smiled and nodded:

"This is not necessary. Our Gulf Territory will never increase the price temporarily. Every 1000 gold coins is enough. This is also our purchase price."

After hearing what he said, Paris was overjoyed. Although he seemed calm on the surface, he was actually very excited.

At this moment, Matthew suddenly said:

"Is your territory currently preparing for battle? Why not buy some arrows?"

Paris's heart skipped a beat when he heard Matthew's doubts, but he was afraid that he would go back on the space crystal deal, so he had to answer quickly:
"Hey, we don't have enough funds to prepare, and we have relatively few manpower. It's difficult to buy and transport a large number of arrows."

"So, we can only use inferior arrows made in the territory."

"Next time, we will come to Bayland and bring more people and funds."

"When the time comes, I hope the lord will leave some for us, and we can pay the deposit in advance."

"Although there are some iron ores in our territory, the quality is poor, the output is very low, and the technology is not up to par. It is not as good as the Lord's..."

After blinking, Matthew noticed Paris's slightly lowered head and expressed admiration for his acting skills. He was also impressed by his cleverness and said without further testing:
"Is that so? That's easy to handle!"

“We at Gulf Neck not only make great arrows;

"The price of the arrows is only 1/3 of the price of the whole arrow. You can take 10 arrows back first."

Upon hearing this, Paris felt that the joy in his heart suddenly disappeared, and bursts of panic emerged. However, the expression on his face remained unchanged and he continued to speak:
"Huh? That's great. With these arrows, we can also process the subsequent processes."

"However, in this case, the funds prepared will still be..."

Gently raising his hand, Matthew showed the privilege of a nobleman and interrupted Paris' next words:

"It's no big deal. Just bring more high-quality herbs next time."

"Although there are many dark forest herbs, high-quality magical herbs must go deep into the dark forest."

"Although we have established a Druid greenhouse, we want to cultivate more magical herbs, but we lack seeds and samples..."

Paris's heart, which was originally high, dropped a little.

Just make a request, that’s fine!
Love without reason is scary!

But Paris still didn't believe that the scheming lord in front of him was really as simple as he appeared.

However, Paris still assured without hesitation:

"No problem, we have a lot of high-quality magic herbs there."

"Lord, your price is higher, and we are happy to deal with you."

The cautious Paris didn't know that with the opportunity of this conversation, Matthew had already figured out his bottom line.

Space crystallization is crucial!

"It seems that they are preparing to implement the plan to fight in the underground base."

After completing the test, Matthew already knew the current status of the Al Elf Kingdom.

The El Elf Kingdom, which has been suppressed by the Cole Elf Kingdom, has been unable to cultivate a sufficient number of high-level combat capabilities due to the damage to its national power and strength.

This also means that they can no longer safely hold the line of defense.

They are now looking for ways to strengthen their defensive line.

Building underground defense bases one after another is one of their plans.

Matthew actually knew very well that this seemingly silly plan did help the Elf Kingdom to survive.With its hidden and strong underground bases, the El Elf Kingdom blocked the army of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

However, the Al Elf Kingdom, which had always been in a passive state, was eventually annexed by the latter due to the huge gap in the number and strength of its army.

It's only about 10 years away from now.

After annexing the Al Elf Kingdom, the Cole Elf Kingdom completed the unification of many northern Elf kingdoms.

It will become an elven empire with hundreds of millions of elves, rich in resources, and vast territory.

Matthew, who knew what the Cole Elf Kingdom would do in the future, was naturally happy to cause trouble for them at this time.

Matthew waved his hand pretending to be relaxed, turned around and left with Yaya.

When leaving, Matthew winked at Butler Ralph, who understood and said:

"Actually, if your military mission is more urgent, we can also provide you with some help."

"We have a lot of various supplies in storage, which we won't need for the time being. We can provide some support to you."

"Of course, all this has a prerequisite. You must sign a magic contract with us."

"Within one month, you must use sufficient gold coins, high-quality magic plants or materials to make up for the debt."

"If the contract is violated, the two of them and their subordinates will have to work for our Gulf Territory for five years. This is just in case."

Facing the bait thrown by Butler Ralph, Paris looked at Matthew's disappearing back, recalled the tense situation in the country, and nodded without hesitation:

"Thank you Sir Ralph for your support. We will definitely be able to complete the contract."

Paris saw Aini's gaze and had to continue:
"In addition, if possible, we need patrol soldiers in the territory to transport supplies to the east coast for us."

"Our team will help us get supplies back..."

"Of course, this part of the transportation cost can also be added to the contract."

Unexpectedly, Butler Ralph seemed to be very satisfied with this transaction. He waved his hand gently and said very relaxedly:

"Hey, that's not necessary. We have built a dock on the east coast, and there are large teleportation circles between us. You can just pay some teleportation fees."

"But you actually own a large ship?"

"If possible, our territory hopes to purchase some basic ship construction technology, which can be purchased with 5000 gold coins or materials of equivalent value..."

Basic ship building techniques?
Paris, who originally didn't want to cause trouble, felt a little moved for no reason.

no way!
Now their family is short of supplies!

If we can really bring back more combat supplies, it will save lives at critical moments!

Paris gritted his teeth and looked at Aini, and without much hesitation, he chose to agree.

Butler Ralph, who had just tasted it, nodded to them, signed the magic contract, and led them back to the warehouse.

Paris and Anne looked at the warehouse filled with various supplies, feeling excited and helpless at the same time.

The stuff is very good!
Too bad it's not theirs!
Matthew in the distance showed a knowing smile to them who were a little confused:

"In this way, the surface forces of the Gulf Territory can start working!"

As for whether the Silver Leaf Family or the El Elf Kingdom will follow Matthew's idea and contribute their efforts to the development of the Gulf Territory.

Matthew wasn't worried at all.

Because they can't refuse!
