Capítulo 1402: Demand
When they heard the emperor’s words, they couldn’t help but break their solemn faces.
“Y-Your Majesty?!” Johnson dropped his jaw.
“What? After seeing the magic weapon, I simply can’t contain myself anymore. This is a private eting anyway, so I can say almost anything I want. No one is going to nag to maintain my image anymore.”
“Your Majesty. This might be a private eting, but if the empress asks about this, I really can’t lie.”
“Don’t you dare say a word to her.” The emperor gritted his teeth. “Look at you. You are so young, but your achievent might be even more amazing than all the people in the dynasty combined. Do you know how the world will change because of this magic weapon of yours?
“Just tell . As long as you are willing to settle down, you can have anything. In fact, if you want my throne, just ask . None of my daughters are ugly, so I’m sure they will satisfy you. If you want all of them, you just have to say the word.”
Nathan was speechless. He never expected the emperor would do sothing like this. Then again, there was a small difference between the dynasty and the empire. The empire was an entity that consisted of many territories.
So, their royal family would be born as conquerors and maintain that pride.
On the other hand, a dynasty was simply a hereditary succession. In other words, it beca a dynasty because the Erwih family was simply too strong in this country and continued this way.
If Nathan wanted it, he would beco the next ruler without any qualifications.
That was why it wasn’t that hard for the emperor to say such an absurd thing.
The emperor continued, and his words sohow got worse the more he opened his mouth. “I know my princesses are not as beautiful as her. So, you can take them as your concubine. It’s fine. The matter of bloodline in the dynasty is not as strict as in the empire.”
“Your Majesty…” Johnson wanted to stop him. If the empress had heard sothing like this, she probably would have reprimanded him ten tis already.
Nathan smiled wryly. “I’m honored that you value that highly. However, I co here with a clear purpose. I have no intention of settling down on this continent, and I don’t really want to have this continent as my enemy.”
“No intention?” The emperor squinted his eyes. “With you at the helm, you can probably conquer this continent in the future? It’s not sothing that I would like to say, but this is a private eting anyway.”
Nathan chuckled. “Why should I conquer this place? I never plan to beco a conqueror. As long as this place is not my enemy, there is no need to do so. Besides, won’t it be good to have many countries around? All of them have their own environnts and traditions.
“Being able to explore all the world’s traditions and cultures is sothing that I prefer. Why would I need to conquer everything?”
The emperor fell silent. Although their reasons were different, both of them wanted the world to have competitions.
The emperor tapped the table with his finger a few tis before shifting the topic back to the original matter. “So, about this magic weapon. What can you tell about it?”
“You may have inspected it, but this magic weapon can be made by normal people. However, even if you have the magic weapon, you won’t be able to use it yet. There is one crucial component. It is the technology to infuse ena into a certain crystal.
“Without this technology, it will be impossible for the magic weapon to function.”
“So, you have a solution? Do you want to offer this technology to as well?” The emperor asked.
Nathan waved his hand. “Yes and no. Yes, I want to give this technology to you. No, it won’t be the way you think. Actually, the empire already has this technology.”
“The cloud-repelling device?”
“Yes. Each of the cloud-repelling devices has this technology. You can easily repurpose them into the necessary technology.”
The emperor thought for a mont. “Let confirm this. You want to hand over the magic weapon technology?”
“I want to offer you the magic gun only. If you wish to apply it to other weapons, you have to develop it yourself. I will also point out the technology that infuses ena into the crystal, so you can repurpose the cloud-repelling device if you want to.”
The emperor nodded in understanding. “What do you want in exchange? In fact, I’m a bit curious. Are you the creator of this technology?”
“Indeed. The idea was mine, but I was assisted by my teacher, who completed the original design, and a blacksmith that made this technology possible.”
The emperor raised his head. “Are the blacksmiths on your continent respected?”
“They are respected.”
“May I know their positions on the social class?”
The emperor wanted to know whether the blacksmiths would end up threatening their positions or not.
Nathan understood his worry. He explained, “For common people, they have a quite respectable status, but it doesn’t an that they are higher than public servants. However, for masters and summoners who pursue this path, their status is higher.
“However, in the end, strength remains supre.” Nathan once got troubled due to August, who used equipnt provided by a blacksmith. He also took advantage of all the equipnt provided from various sources.
So he could say that they had a high status, but they weren’t at the top.
The emperor nodded in understanding. “I see. In that case, what is your demand?”
“Before this, I’d like to ask for your forgiveness if I co across as rude. Before telling you the rest of my demands, I’d like you to listen carefully to my first demand. This is the most important and I won’t budge. If the first demand can’t be fulfilled, the deal will be off right away.”
The emperor took a deep breath before nodding his head. “Go on.”
Nathan asked, “I’d like to use my Heavenly Ability on the empress, the queen, and the two guardians.”
