Chapter 359 Negotiations
"Whether you give it to me or not, I tell you, if you don't give it to me, I will jump out of here."

"You dance, if you have the ability, dance."

"You're forcing me, and I'll make you regret it." As he spoke, he jumped forward.

"It's the first time I've seen a Winged Man threaten others by jumping from an airship." Shure stared blankly at the Winged Man standing on the side of the airship with a solemn face, his face was stiff and innocent. He watched her jump out with an expression on her face, and then... flew back from the other side.

"You're so cold-blooded." After flying back, Yulia acted as if she hadn't done anything just now, and said solemnly, "It was agreed before that I will send a boat back to the city alone for you. You just showed me that thing, and the promise must be fulfilled, otherwise you will feel the anger of the Winged Man."

"Well, I've already felt it." Shuer looked over the edge where Yulia had just jumped, and nodded seriously, "A very powerful anger."

"Stop talking nonsense and quickly bring out the core of what you are talking about."

"Eternal Core." Shuer sighed, took out the heavily wrapped metal ball from his backpack, carefully opened it and held it in his hand, "I didn't say not to show it to you, but take a look at the forty gold coins and touch it. Eighty gold coins at a time, Lisa, remember to settle the account."

"Yeah, yeah." The great archbishop waved the small book, haha, I finally found an opportunity for you to repay the stupid five hundred gold coins and ten days of dry bread. Just wait, I won't even give you salt!
"Poverty limits your imagination, sad guy." Rob took over the eternal core and hugged her tightly, Yulia finally gained confidence, and said contemptuously, "I just say something, earn money Money is enough for me to hold it for the rest of my life, oh, the life of you humans."

"That's great." Xiure said with a straight face, "In this case, I won't have any psychological burden on you."

"Don't even think about it. You underestimate our Yi people's persistence in wealth. You can earn so much money. Do you really think that our Yi people spend their money carelessly? You actually dare to nod. Let me tell you, Don’t try to trick me, even if I, Yulia, die, jump from here and fall to my death, I won’t let you trick me for a single coin.”

"Hehe, hehe."

"Hey, do you want to sell this thing? How much does it cost? As long as you dare to ask a price, I will buy it for any price."

"Hehe, hehe."

"This is a good thing. Let's not talk about the workmanship. It is simply not something that Parvatiga's poor craftsmanship can produce. Let's talk about its design ideas. Look at the line distribution here and the metal dot matrix here. , Wow, there is a magic circle on the back, and there is a core, core, what kind of material is this? Damn it, the energy acceptance is at least 300 million Camilles, my God, this is a synthetic material, why? Is it possible that there is an artifact with such high energy receptivity? Serius will get up from the underworld and cry bitterly, I..."

"You've almost torn it apart."

"Huh, it is indeed a miraculous creation." Yulia held the Eternal Core in her hands, her movements as gentle as a lover's caress. "If you show this thing to me, your purpose must be impure. Tell me, what do you want to do? I I warn you, I am only 230 years old, and I am still a child, even if you want me to exchange my body...how many times?"

"I can't give you this." Under Yulia's sharp and horrifying gaze, Shuer ruthlessly snatched the eternal core from her hand. "This is Wei's food for the rest of her life. Wei, I like this food." Does it taste?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, the analysis results show that there is a 90.00% chance that you do not need my answer."

"You've learned too much, Wei." Shuer curled his lips, ignored the mastermind who didn't understand the tacit understanding, and showed a standard cleric smile to Yulia. With the blood and tears of the merchants in the Rose City as evidence, every time Xiuer When Er showed such a smile, it meant that a nightmare was about to come, "Yulia, the name of this thing is the Eternal Core."

"You just said it a minute ago." Yulia was still distracted with her eyes fixed on the metal ball in Xiure's hand, "Say something useful."

"Yeah, it's useful. I have six of similar things."

Blinking, blinking again, she plucked a few hairs from the wings, ah, it hurt so much, it seemed like it was not a dream, Yulia finally returned to reality: "Six? Literally?"

"Well, this belongs to Wei. No one can take it away. There are five more besides, hehehehe."

"Huh, I understand." Yulia leaned on the back of the chair. The specially-made chair allowed her to flap her wings at will even though she was leaning on the backrest. "My bid is definitely the highest, so it makes sense for you to come to me. Can it really drive an aeroplane?"

"How do I know?" "No, I'm not talking about energy types, those can be modified, I'm talking about energy reserves."

"Theoretically, it's possible. At least two rotations are enough to ensure the unlimited endurance of a floating ship. If it can dock regularly at the port, even one will be enough. But I can't be sure. I have to rely on you to determine it. gone."

"You should understand that this is very important. Whether it can supply enough energy determines their value. If one can really guarantee the navigation of a ship, then its value..."

"Priceless treasure."

"Yes." Although she didn't want to admit it, Yulia was the leader of the Gilceles family after all, and she didn't bother to lie during negotiations. She could only sigh and said reluctantly, "With the profits it will bring In comparison, no matter how high the price is, it’s not too high.”

"Is it just profit? Hehe, this ordinary Winged Lady, you are dishonest." Shuer said with a smile, "Profit can only be ranked last."

Indeed, freight transport, passenger transport, longer waterways, more flights, a wider source of passengers, and further, the ever-expanding network of people, the shift of the sky lord's grace, greater voice in the ethnic group and even in the world, five ships The benefits that aerostats can bring are endless. With these invisible benefits, the profit gains are indeed not so obvious.

Let’s not talk too far, let’s talk about the most intuitive benefits. As long as a few waterways are put into use, the Gil Seles family led by Yulia will become the first of the seven branches of the ancient Seles family. Even if She squandered all the property of the seven branches of Seles, and the other branches also offered more gold coins with a smile. This is the charm of the right to speak, or in other words, this is the charm of monopoly.

"Are you really not a mouse?" Mouse in the vault, this is a folk proverb of the Winged People. In the early legends of the Winged Tribe, rats like to build nests in the vault and regard all gold coins as their own property. Anyone who wants to Anyone who takes gold coins from the vault will be attacked by them. Therefore, people always like to use rats in the vault to describe those fakes that are greedy and plunder other people's wealth.

Of course, they are actually just gold-eating rats that feed on metal. They attack other creatures just because they think they are trying to steal their food. Even if they put a bunch of steel, the effect will be almost the same.

"Oh, please call me the vampire who follows the sound of gold coins colliding." Shuer bowed with a deep expression on his chest, "I would be honored."

"You are actually very proud, and you came up with this name yourself, how boring you are." Yulia rolled her eyes, and stared at the eternal core for a long time with her chin in her hand, "Let's be honest, you How much does it cost, 50? 100 million? To renovate your temple? You can ask for any price, if it’s not enough, I can make it up for you.”

Lisa's eyes were round, and she felt that white smoke was starting to come out of her nose. With the wealth of the Gil Seles family, they could only make up such words if they could not say enough. This shows that Yulia has already grown up with the eternal core. It’s inevitable, huh? 50, 100 million?Let the great Lisa count how many zeros this is. No, my mind is too confused to count. In short, it is a lot of money.
"A price?" Xiure smiled meaningfully, "Oh, I'll give it to you for free."

"Then I don't want it." Yulia raised her eyebrows, "There is no free gift in the world, especially for people like you. No matter how much you give, you will always get more in the end. Give it to me for free? With your appetite, I I’m afraid you’ll swallow up all the dazzling capital.”

"Of course it's not for free, there must be a price." Shuer knocked on the table and was silent for a while, which whetted Yulia's appetite. Then he said slowly, "I have two conditions."

"Say."

"First, in terms of actual income, I don't want gold coins or cash. I use these five eternal cores, plus the things that Master Simon will entrust me to find, as my investment in you. When the route is established in the future, I want all of you. Half of the revenue from the route.”

"Why don't you go grab it?"

Just kidding, sailing can significantly improve safety. For those big shots who are afraid of death but have to travel in person, they will not hesitate to book a ticket no matter how expensive it is. It is only a few hundred gold coins. Compared with precious lives, it is simply worth it. Ignore it, and if it is freight, although it cannot transport heavy goods, choosing light and expensive luxury goods is faster and safer than taking the land route. Each ship of goods is equivalent to transporting piles of gold coins.It is conceivable that once the route is established, although there are only five ships, the income will be extremely considerable. If Shuer really wants to take half of the income, I am afraid that within 20 years, the income will exceed that of simply selling the eternal core.

"Rooting is tiring and dangerous, so it's not easy to blackmail you." Xiuer blinked at Lisa, and the brother and sister showed the same holy smile, "Think about it yourself, without the eternal core, you can't get these benefits at all. No, it’s too arbitrary to say that you can’t get it. If you don’t care about the cost, you can still use spar to ensure the operation of the route. The problem is, not only will you not be able to earn a lot of gold coins in the end, but you will lose a lot of money every day. .Now with the Eternal Core, the average daily profit is hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and there are so many hidden benefits. Although the income will be shared with me in half, overall, you still make money, just a little less. .”

"Compared with earning less, earning less is the best choice. As a person, the most important thing is to be content and not to be too greedy, don't you think?"

"Hey, who is greedy, you bastard?"
