Chapter 120
Chapter 120
If you really get to the bottom of it, the grievances between Obstar and Cantero can be torn all the way to Emperor Capel. After all, both are descendants of Emperor Capel, and the last marriage of their ancestors was Mariana's high The grandfather married his daughter to King Cantero, great-grandfather of Seys.Even Seyes' grandfather once tried to marry his cousin, Queen Mary, and then rule the great grandeur of the south.
It's a pity that Queen Mary was the daughter of destiny in that era, and she was short of a strange person who wrote "I'm dead" on her forehead, so Cantero knelt... Kneeling was crisp and tidy, and he was so excited that he was slowed down for two minutes. Dai did not slow down.And in the generation of Seyes, the wound that was almost healed was not only simply and roughly torn open, but also made Cantero, who was originally like a giant, directly beaten to bankruptcy.
Yes, you read that right, Cantero is out of business.
And this situation has affected Cantero for at least 15 years.
To make matters worse, Seyes can't renege on his debts, otherwise the Papal State or the Grand Duchy of Aquique would never lend him money after he went bankrupt in Cantero.It would be better to say that the Grand Duchy of Aquiquie did not borrow money from Cantero 800 years ago, so the only patron of Cantero is the Pope, and this funding cannot be made public.
"You also know that it is impossible for Cantero to repay the debt." Adhering to the simple idea of being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, Seis also wanted to see what Mariana was going to do: "If you want money, if you don't have money, you will die." Even if you hit Cantero's royal city, it won't change this."
"No, I can at least push you to the brink." Mariana tried her best not to show her ferocious face, but Seis still heard something bad from her tone: "Look, Obsta and Cantero Both sides are already hurting, if at this time, Odin and I carve up Cantero, do you think Domitius will readily agree?"
Even though Marianna doesn't know the real situation of Odin, she can imagine what kind of public opinion and trust crisis the little emperor Odin will face after losing the sesame seeds and stepping on the watermelon.
If Mariana proposed to carve up Cantero at this time, then Odin's little emperor might not be moved.
"You are threatening me." Seyes said with a dark face: "Odin's Senate will not allow the emperor to mess around again and again.
"It's too ugly to say it's a threat." Mariana still had that fake smile: "Besides, isn't it obvious who threatens whom first?"
"..."
"You can't double bid on the negotiating table, and then hit it back!" Mariana clasped her hands on the table, posing with a gesture of thinking: "Besides, Obstar is also tired of the dispute with Cantero. We have fought from our great-grandfathers to the present, not to mention the accumulated hatred for a hundred years, but it is time to make a break."
"And judging from the current situation, if Cantero has this attitude, then there will only be the end of your death." Mariana sighed pretentiously and put on a look of "I It's also helpless": "I believe you will make such a decision from my perspective."
"..." To be honest, if he hadn't wanted to maintain his demeanor as a king, Seys would have been pissed off by Mariana.
This impeccable way of speaking, this yin and yang expression attitude.
Seyes still underestimated Mariana so much that he spent four or five years with her (including the years when he was hostage in Obstar), but he didn't see her true face clearly, and even felt that the other party More and more like Queen Mary.
Yes, you heard it right, in the eyes of Seyes, the image of Mariana is merging with the woman he hates and respects, and it even made Seyes produce the resurrection of Queen Mary on Mariana illusion.
"Given Cantero's current situation, if we still have the necessity and possibility of peace talks, it depends on the sincerity of your king." Marianna originally wanted to say "it depends on the sincerity of your country", but considering the slack in the negotiations There are degrees, and the distribution of pressure, she wants to point the finger at Seyes.
Although it seemed shameless to do so, it also gave Cantero officials the possibility of exoneration.
After all, it was the king who proposed the negotiation, it was the king who accepted Mariana's opinion, and it was the king who signed the truce, so what fault do these young generals who work for them have?
The captain of the garrison standing behind Mariana clenched his sword tightly, fearing that Seyes would slap the table and leave.
Duke de Vichel secretly held Seyes on the back to prevent the other party from doing irreparable things.
Fortunately, Seyes was far stronger and more rational than Duke de Vichel thought. After Mariana threw a bright trap, he neither stretched his head into it, nor dodged it cowardly, but cleverly Then he went straight to the point: "What do you want?"
Seistan said frankly: "If Cantero can't pay compensation, what do you want? Or, what kind of power do you want to deprive Cantero?"
Referring to the fact that the Grand Duchy of Aquique directly seized the right to price and sell weapons to the Principality of Brittania after appropriating funds, Seyes also began to think about what Cantero had that Mariana coveted.
ore?
The real big ore owner is the Principality of Brittania.
money?
The standard of living in the Grand Duchy of Aquique ranks first on the mainland.
agriculture?
Obstar's agricultural conditions are not bad, and it is next to Solins and Odin, so why cooperate with the Cantero people?
However, what Seyes never expected was that what he thought was the least likely to be chosen by Mariana was precisely what she wanted most.
"I want the ownership of the Starry Sky Quarry and the Baladin Volcano." Mariana asked someone to bring a map, pointing to the two marks on it, and said, "In addition, the Cantero people will help the Obsidians build a road for free." Southern Highway."
"That's it?" Seyes asked suspiciously, "You don't want to order anything else?"
Although it was embarrassing to say this, Seis felt that all Mariana wanted were worthless things.
He has seen the Starry Sky Stone before. The original stone is a kind of dark green stone dotted with powder. After being cut, there are various powders inside that can refract light. It is like a colorless lake that has solidified the starry sky, hence the name Starry Sky Stone.
As for the Baladin Volcano... Apart from the abundant production of obsidian, Seyes can hardly think of any advantages it has.
oh!By the way, craftsmen from all over the world, especially those who forge magic props, like to use volcanic lava for tempering.
After all, compared with the man-made environment, the things bestowed by the gods are the best.
However, there is only one volcano in the Principality of Brittania, so the issue of resource allocation has always been the focus of disputes among all parties.
