Chapter 1149: Promise
“Mr. Nathan. That’s…” Alia had a hard ti closing her mouth.
Nathan smiled. “Yes. For your information, the chanism is purely achieved through simple technology. You only need a bit of energy to open up the sky. I call this Cloud-Repelling Device.”
“Cloud-Repelling Device…” Alia sucked a cold breath. She shuddered at the thought of having this cloud-repelling device. They really needed this device, no matter the price.
“You probably only need to kill so low-level aliens to operate it. The cloud will stay open for a while,” added Nathan.
Alia couldn’t imagine it. To hire a high-level summoner, they needed to spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions each month. However, Nathan claid that this device could reduce that number to just a few thousand?
Nathan sighed. “Unfortunately, this device is not complete yet. Please look at that.”
Alia raised her head, finding the ball that gradually fell down with the help of a small parachute.
“After releasing that power, the ball can’t be used anymore. You need to recharge its energy to reuse it. And to recharge that power, a human can’t do it.”
“Ah, that’s why you ntion aliens. You need energy from the cores?”
“Yes. And I also need materials to complete the device so that it can recharge that energy directly.” Nathan nodded. “With good maintenance, it can last for a long ti.”
She gulped down. “Mr. Nathan. We will support you. Whatever you need, we will provide it. Please sell it to us… Ah!” Alia paused, realizing she had said sothing wrong. She took a deep breath to calm down before asking, “May I know what your intention is for this device?”
Nathan raised his eyebrows. It looked like Alia had managed to suppress her greed. If a rchant group had this device, they would beco number one in the world right away. If a noble had it, their strength would increase drastically.
However, if they were too greedy, Nathan would have a hard ti, so he intended to work together with soone else if she was that kind of person. It looked like Alia was better than he thought.
Nathan raised one finger. “I have one goal. That is to lower the food’s price.”
“Is that really all?” Alia widened her eyes in shock.
“Yes.” Nathan nodded. “If I put a ridiculously high price, the food price will remain and the situation will get even worse.
“However, I don’t really like people stealing this device.”
“Ah!” Alia understood. Nathan wanted the guarantee of the marquis to protect his right. But if this was the case, working together with the rchant would have been good. Still, it wouldn’t lower the food’s price.
Instead, he worked with the nobles to achieve both things. However, lowering the food price like that would be quite hard if he only had one of them. A lot more devices needed to be produced.
“If you can provide the materials and so craftsn. This device can be mass-produced.”
Alia clenched her hands into fists. “My father is away, and I’m the only one who can make a decision for this marquisate. However, I promise I will do everything I can to help you.”
“Hoh? So, you’re admitting that you don’t have the right to make the decision?” Nathan narrowed his eyes, judging her.
“Yes. However, I can still aid you in completing the device.” Alia nodded solemnly. “I will convince my father to support you as well. I’m sure he will welco this device.”
“I wonder. Won’t he try to steal it from once he returns?”
“You jest. Even if my father returns, he won’t be able to do anything to your fiancee. And if we do such a thing, it will be a huge matter if you choose another noble to entrust with this task. We will end up becoming a laughingstock. It will be a different matter if you end up leaving the dynasty.”
‘Dynasty? An empire that is ruled by one single family for generations?’ Nathan didn’t know much about the political structures, but the na of the dynasty showed how powerful this territory was.
Nathan closed his eyes as if he were thinking about it. “Well… I do indeed have one hidden intention. The reason I’m trying to achieve this is because of a few people…”
Nathan looked up. A trace of hatred and sadness was reflected in his eyes.
“!!!” Alia didn’t realize that Nathan was just acting. He provided so information, but not enough to figure out the whole truth. As a result, Alia had to form the truth in her mind, which caused a bit of misunderstanding.
‘Revenge? If I’m not mistaken, his na is Nathan Reckmoon. He is a nobleman. Or maybe he was a noble? I haven’t heard of any nobles with that na, but it might be lesser nobles or even the nobles of the empire.
‘His family might be ruined? Either way, it does look like there’s so revenge going on.’ Alia paused for a mont before asking, “May I know who those people are?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t trust you enough to give you that information.” Nathan shook his head. “However, I just wish to find those people. I don’t plan to let you do things other than that.”
This was the sa as telling her the paynt was the information network. In fact, presenting this device alone would raise their family rank, and even the emperor might help this person. However, if he presented this device directly to the emperor, it might get taken away by the scheming foxes. Nathan was basically making them do the presentation.
Alia finally understood the full intention.
“I see.” Alia nodded. “Although I might not be able to represent the Marquisate for such a huge matter, I can promise you two things. With my current authority, I can provide you with the materials to complete the device.
“All I hope is that Mr. Nathan will finish the device in this marquisate. My honored father will return in 2 to 3 days. At that ti, I promise you that I will do my best to persuade my father.”
Nathan secretly smiled. The first phase of his plan was finally completed.
