Chapter 1279: After becoming a magister, you seem to have never practiced seriously at all!
It was already late at night when he and Catherine returned to the Morning Dew Rose to rest.
According to the results of the meeting, everyone took action early the next morning.
After breakfast, on the deck of the Golden Wheatfield.
While drinking wine, Mr. Holland said with some regret:
"It seems that the exploration of space materials in this area can only be discussed after everything is over.
Fortunately, we are the only ones who have the ability to move freely here, and no one can compete with us."
Hearing this, Mr. Claude corrected:
"To be precise, only Brand and the others can move freely in this area, and we just happened to rent him. It’s just a ship.
Besides, it’s a good thing that this guy didn’t plan to monopolize it, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to do anything about it.”
Mr. Robert smiled and said:
“Although Brand is greedy, he is not the kind of short-sighted person.
The Endless Sea is so big, this kind of space disordered area is definitely not the only one.< br>
If we work together to explore, we can obviously get a bigger cake more efficiently.
Of course, we’d better give him some profits later to avoid making this guy unbalanced.”
While they were chatting, Brand and Catherine flew onto the deck of the ship.
Then he greeted them:
"Good day, gentlemen, we are ready to set off, now come and say goodbye."
Hearing this, Romien The elder nodded and said:
“We are about to set off, and we are currently detachment.
[Blood Amber] No. 6 and No. 7 will leave the team to search separately. They will be led by the Claude Mage Group and the Cecil Mage Group respectively.
The remaining Golden Wheatfield and [Blood Amber] No. 4 and No. 5 continue to operate together. "
Hearing this, he glanced at the mages and knights who were carrying items among several ships nearby.
Brand spread his hands and said:
"With any luck, we may be able to discover the Anvil family and the Inquisition fleet today.
Even if we are unlucky, when the [Eye of Flowers] maintenance is completed in the afternoon, we can also conduct a blanket search directly according to the map.
The time we will find the Anweil family and the Trial Division fleet will not be later than the day after tomorrow.
But I just don’t know when the external negotiations will reach an agreement. "
Master Romien shook his head and said:
"Under the threat of third-party forces, other people will also find ways to seize the time. We can just wait for the news now... ”
...
After a brief chat with a few elders.
Brand said goodbye and returned to the deck of the Morning Dew Rose with Catherine.
At this time, Celine was already on the deck playing with the water knight golem.
Seeing them coming back, she turned around and asked:
"Is it time to leave now?"
Hearing this, Brand nodded, then took out the communicator and ordered to the cockpit:
"Let's go, our time is a little tight. Keep moving at full speed."
As Brand finished speaking, the Morning Dew Rose quickly set off from a standstill, and Blood Amber One to Three behind it immediately followed.
Next, they will continue to collect seabed materials as planned.
As for the Judgment Department and the Anweil family fleet... we just need to search for them for the time being.
……
When Brand and others were moving in the space disorder area.
Near the secret realm, in the conference hall of a medium-sized ship where the empire's fleet is located.
The people responsible for the negotiations are taking their seats one after another.
At the same time, the two Nagas who acted as messengers also began to mobilize the extraordinary power in their bodies.
The next moment, water elements began to gather.
A female six-armed Naga composed of dark blue water elements appeared in the conference hall, and waited for the two Nagas to cast spells for a while.
This water element six-armed Naga suddenly became agile, then straightened up and greeted everyone in the conference hall politely in Elvish language.
Because this was not the first time we had seen this scene, everyone was not surprised.
In their current view, this should be similar to the [Human Shadow] method used by the Imperial Nobles Meeting.
——A Naga is remotely controlling and sharing senses with this water elemental six-armed Naga.
After the courtesy greetings ended, today's negotiations quickly began.
Because he already knew that time was tight, the negotiator from the Empire side went straight to the point:
“After these two days of contact, we now have a clearer understanding of your demands.
Not all things in the secret realm are useful to us, and handing over a small part of them to you will not affect our interests too much, so the conflict between us is not acute.
This is an important basis for negotiation.
And because your previous actions have greatly reduced our sense of you. Therefore, there is currently a lack of trust between us and the soil for cooperation is very weak.
Based on this, we now have a proposal:
Next, we can sell the key to the secret realm directly to you, and then withdraw from the competition for the secret realm.
In this way, the problem of trust can be solved directly.
But there is a premise here:
We will not sell valuable things like secret keys to our enemies.
For the enemy, we usually only choose to fight with swords.
Therefore, regarding your previous two attacks on our imperial ports and subsequent battles with us, which caused us losses.
You need to provide us with satisfactory compensation.
After this, our empire will also abandon the previous conflicts and look at you from a neutral perspective.
I hope you will seriously consider this point. ”
As soon as I said this, I realized that today’s negotiation is finally no longer a meaningless mutual test.
Whether it was the two Naga envoys or the Naga who was participating in the negotiations remotely with the body of the water element, they did not consciously become serious.
In their view, this proposal is obviously feasible, but the specific details need to be further improved.
In addition, issues related to price and compensation also need to be discussed carefully.
——They have all heard of the "good name" of human nobles!
……
That afternoon, when the ship docked again, I watched knights and golems jump off the side of the ship quickly under the control of everyone.
Celine said happily:
“This is the last place.
When the resources here are collected, the remaining corners will be left to us. Give it to the earls
lest they find out the truth and say we eat alone.”
Hearing this, Brand couldn't help but be surprised and said:
"There are still some corners? Hasn't Sister Celine already dug through the entire seabed?"
Hearing this After saying this, he turned around and glanced at Brand, who was next to him with a smile on his face.
Celine couldn't help but reach out and want to pinch Brand's cheek as punishment, but Brand avoided it keenly.
While continuing to try, Celine also smiled and explained:
"The seabed in this area is not all flat, and many areas are very complicated.
Although we have roughly looked through it, there must be some omissions.
In addition... because... Due to the influence of the fog, we have not explored the depths of the seabed.
So there must be some resources on the seabed, but they are hidden deep and difficult to find.
And they are difficult to find. In fact, there are still many [inferior space resources] because their value is relatively low..."
Halfway through her words, Celine briefly stopped talking because both of her hands were held in Brand's hands and she was held in Brand's arms.
Seeing that Brand's eyes gradually flickered, as if he was about to make a move.
Celine tried to divert Brand’s attention:
“In short, compared to these small things, you should pay more attention to the follow-up actions.
Both belong to sea elves. The artifact of the clan, [Abyssal Halberd] is most likely a new design of [Abyssal Halberd] in modern times.
If we can take its components and study them, maybe we can find a way to upgrade the [Deep Sea Halberd], and the heritage of our North Holland family can become deeper.
If necessary, I have many powerful spell scrolls that can be used. "
Speaking of this, Brand couldn't help but look at the trident pattern on the back of his right hand.
Celine also took this opportunity to break free from his arms smoothly.
The heirs of the [Barbarian Hoof Tribe] forged a rough prototype, and then the dean, his friends, and Sister Celine upgraded the original design plan, and finally obtained the modern artifact [Deep Sea Halberd] 】.
In fact, it has just crossed the threshold of the ranks of "artifacts of modern times"!
Compared with those artifacts that have been upgraded and optimized by many masters, it is obviously still inferior.
So if they can get the formation of [Abyssal Halberd] for research, they will definitely gain something.
But after thinking for a moment, Brand held Celine’s waist, shook his head and said:
“I’m not going to invest too much in this matter.
[Deep Sea Halberd] is basically enough. Use it when you have the chance, and just give it up if you don’t have the chance.
The trump cards are kept when they are needed more. ”
Hearing this, he glanced sideways at Brand, who looked like he was in the same situation.
Celine nodded solemnly and agreed:
"That's true. After you go back, I'll supervise your daily practice. ”
At the moment Brand's face suddenly changed.
Celine curled her long hair with one hand and said with a smile:
"Think about it carefully, after becoming a magister, you seem to have never practiced seriously at all. That's it. ”
