15 minutes later.
"Have you cald down?" Nathan asked.
Regina took several deep breaths before smiling wryly. "Yeah. I’m sorry for showing you such a disappointing thing."
"Not at all." Nathan waved his hand. "Would you like to drink so water?"
"No, thank you." Regina took another deep breath before slapping her cheeks hard.
The crisp sound startled him, but Regina’s eyes returned to focus.
Regina asked, "Sorry for the delay, so let’s proceed to the negotiation. First of all, may I know what kind of thing their side has offered to you?"
Nathan replied casually, "So resources. Well, they also gave three books from their treasury."
"!!!" Regina was startled. "Three books? Those techniques?"
"Yes."
The reason the Erwih family could rule the dynasty for so long was their deep foundation. One of the foundations was none other than their profound techniques.
It could be said that in terms of techniques, there was no one greater than the ones from the Erwih family.
Even her royal family couldn’t do the sa thing.
For the Erwih family to offer those books, it showed how big the temptation of Nathan’s offers was.
At the sa ti, she could understand the reason. What Nathan offered was basically a godsend for their continent.
If they could improve their power, it didn’t matter what they sacrificed. The addition of this new power would create a fusion and give birth to an entirely new power.
The Erwih family believed this and didn’t hesitate. They wanted to be the first to create sothing born from that entirely new power.
Regina looked down. Her family didn’t have such a thing, but there were others that could be exchanged.
Still, before offering them, Regina asked, "Is there anything you’d like from us?"
Nathan smiled. "If I have to say it, I guess I do want a few things. First of all, I believe it’s only fair to ask for the technique books from the empire, no?"
Regina looked down, pondering. "That is not a problem. Other requests?"
"I’d like books about dicine. I have been collecting a few of them, so I want to get more."
"!!!" Regina was quite surprised with this request. The dicine book was extrely important.
If they were on Gratzel, this was basically the sa as asking for a book of blueprints from a blacksmith.
It was a hard request, but the problem was that what Nathan offered was simply too much.
Regina crossed her arms. "I don’t think I can fulfill that request directly."
Nathan furrowed his eyebrows. He wondered if he had requested a bit too much. Or maybe the dynasty’s emperor was more generous than he thought?
Regina explained, "How about this? We will copy two books of dicine for you. In other words, what you will receive is a copy, but I will personally guarantee that the copy is identical."
This way, the empire wouldn’t lose its books, while Nathan still got what he wanted.
He didn’t personally care whether he got the original or not. So he nodded. "I personally don’t mind. Is there anything else?"
"How about giving you so money? We can’t afford more than this."
"Money, huh?" Nathan smiled wryly. "You should know that I have a lot of money, right? I don’t think I can spend it all before returning to my continent."
She scratched the back of her head, wondering what she should give.
"Rather than money, how about so rare materials? Doesn’t matter if it’s a rare herb or a rare mineral. If it’s not enough, I don’t mind cores, at least warrior class cores."
"That should work." Regina nodded. "Let see..."
Regina wrote down everything on a piece of paper. Nathan would hand over the summoning circle and the lifebound familiar knowledge as well as the magic gun technology to the empire. In exchange, the empire would give them three books, one for each category.
In addition, the empire would give them 5 rare herbs and 15 rare minerals along with many alien cores.
The number had been specified in the agreent.
Even Regina was satisfied. After all, it was better to buy it from Nathan even if it was more expensive than lowering their heads to the dynasty.
Regina wanted to maintain their dignity after all.
"There is no problem with this, right?"
"Yes. However, please put a condition that the empire will declare war against the Death Society and will support us to destroy them."
Regina nodded. This was their original purpose, so it wasn’t a problem. Nathan wanted it to be written so that the empire couldn’t back down.
Although it was less than he originally expected, it was better this way. There was still plenty of money, so he would just buy it through legitimate ans. He would donate the remaining money for the reconstruction after leaving this continent.
Nathan extended his hand. "Looking forward to working with you."
"Likewise." Regina was slightly disappointed because Nathan planned to leave, but she managed to get everything necessary. "By the way, when are you going to attack them?"
"In four months. I’m planning to use these four months to progress as far as possible. Hopefully, this will be enough to face them," explained Nathan.
"I see. We will try to keep an eye on them for the next four months. We will et again to discuss the final assault."
"Yes. Since there are people from the dynasty as well, we need to be careful in choosing the place."
"Don’t worry. I will handle that." Regina waved her hand.
Nathan and Regina smiled at each other as they offered each other a handshake to seal the deal.
Nathan hurriedly exited the room because it was too awkward to stay there any longer. Regina was also embarrassed and didn’t chase after him anymore.
"Are you done? It took a while." Bella looked worried. "Did she take advantage of you or sothing?"
"Everything is fine. You don’t have to worry about it." Nathan waved his hand. "In any case, we have one more stop before going to the front line."
"One more stop? Ah!" Bella raised one finger. "The emperor’s aide."
"Yeah. I need Anubis to look at his condition. Hopefully, he will be able to fight alongside us. We need all the help we can get." Nathan nodded.
