The outcome of the negotiations remained unchanged. According to Isabelle’s insistence, the agreement reached between the two sides was still concluded with Isabelle’s exorbitant demands.
The cabbages were in charge of the more than 20,000 sets of armor and 100 sets of runic weapons custom-made by the current Gondolin soldiers. They provided a fixed amount of food for free until the Gondolin pa.s.sed its difficult period, they would also provide 10 great elf-level great elemental elves!
Meanwhile, Pu Yunchuan allowed little cabbage to enter the weapons and equipment market of Gondorin. They would provide the best shops with the best geographical location and receive a 30% discount from the market price. Of course, they would have to pay full tax!
All the conditions seemed to be very unequal. Little cabbage’s cuteness did not falter at all. This made little cabbage rather depressed.
But in order to promote her own brand, she had to sign this agreement in the end. Before she left, Isabelle looked at little cabbage, who was somewhat depressed, and hesitated for a moment, in the end, she said, “I saw you take out a note from a brocade bag just now…”
Little cabbage heard this and looked up at the other party, thinking to herself, could it be that she saw the words on the note? I see, I was wondering how anyone could resist this chief’s act of cuteness?
Isabelle looked at her, she said earnestly, “My great-grandmother, don’t think that she’s serious just because she usually seems serious. In fact, there are many times when it’s meaningless for her to ask you to do strange things. It’s just a simple prank…”. “…”
Upon hearing this, little cabbage’s expression froze…
Looking at little cabbage’s expression, Isabelle sighed in her heart. Suddenly, she had a feeling that they were in the same boat. Back then, her great-grandmother had done something like this when she was grooming her… At that time, she thought that her ancestor, who had calculated everything meticulously, had some deep meaning. When she finally found out that she was just a prank, she was actually very speechless…
I don’t understand how Alice’s life, from slave to imperial legend, through so many ups and downs, through so many cruel things, could develop such a black-bellied character… . .
———- —
After signing the contract, Isabelle got a large amount of food as she wished, but because of the limited s.p.a.ce in the cages, she had to rent more cages, and the system prompted her when she was transported, from now on, the teleportation fee would be activated. The price of the teleportation fee was related to the weight of the teleportation and the size of the energy itself.
Upon hearing this news, Isabelle immediately frowned. The weapons and equipment made by little cabbage were not in place yet. After all, many soldiers on her side had not undergone modification surgery, so the size of the data was not clear.., they could not tailor-make it, but if they did, the teleportation fee would probably be a huge sum.
With the spatial cage, Isabelle borrowed two Gardo beasts from little cabbage. Then, she carried the calculated food and teleported back.
As soon as she returned to Gondorin, she heard from her subordinates that Pu Yunchuan and the others had returned and were waiting for him in the living room. Upon hearing this, Isabelle did not even bother with the two Gardo Beasts and hurried over.
Pu Yunchuan’s exploration mission this time had been meticulously calculated by her. The degree of mutation in the black stone forest was not high, and the area of the forest was not large. As long as one did not get lost, it would only take four hours to cross the forest, after pa.s.sing through the black stone forest, there were narrow black stone paths. That location was the same as Gondor Forest. The ecological environment was not good, and there were rocks everywhere, so the possibility of attracting mutated creatures was very low.
After pa.s.sing through the black stone path, the plains had already left the Black Goat’s map. With Pu Yunchuan’s strength, whether it was the monsters in the black stone forest or the royal family of the Black Stone tribe on the plains.., they should not pose much of a threat to him. Even if he could not protect the soldiers, the probability of him getting into trouble should be very small.
However, this was only a calculation. It would be a lie to say that Isabelle was not worried at all… …
After walking into the living room, Isabelle saw Pu Yunchuan and his group. According to the rules of the steel martial empire, soldiers were left and mages were right. She noticed that Pu Yunchuan was currently sitting on the first seat on the left, meanwhile, Wesker, who had the highest reputation in the army, was now sitting on the second seat.
Upon seeing this, Isabelle’s eyes lit up. It seemed that Pu Yunchuan had completed his mission very well during this three-month trip… …
In fact, she did not expect Pu Yunchuan to bring back many resources and intelligence. As long as she could get recognition from the army, her goal would be achieved… …
Isabelle Strode into the hall and sat down on the seat of the city Lord as usual. She looked at the travel-worn Pu Yunchuan and smiled gently, “Thank you for your hard work…”
Pu Yunchuan chuckled and said, “It’s not hard, it’s not hard at all…”
“Tell me, what’s the situation outside?”Isabelle looked at Wesker and asked with a smile.
Wesker quickly said, “Sir, as you expected, the mutation level of the black stone forest is not high. Moreover, the closer we go to the black stone path, the lower the degree of mutation. The surrounding gra.s.s and plants have also started to return to normal. Relying on Sir Yunchuan’s power, we did not suffer many casualties after pa.s.sing through the stone forest…”. “…”
As soon as these words were said, Pu Yunchuan immediately straightened his back, while Isabelle directly rolled her eyes at him.
Seeing this small action, Wesker thought to himself, “As expected, the rumors are true…”
He wasn’t as brainless as Millen. After knowing Pu Yunchuan’s strength, he instantly realized that Pu Yunchuan’s position in Sir Isabelle’s place should be extremely high, and Isabelle wanted him to follow the army so that he could take over the position.
After understanding his boss’thoughts, Wesker consciously gave up his position and secretly helped Pu Yunchuan build up his prestige. The current Expeditionary Army had a very high degree of recognition for Pu Yunchuan.
This tactful performance made Isabelle quite satisfied.
“What about outside the stone forest? What’s the situation?”Isabelle asked the main topic.
“It’s very chaotic…”. Wesker said solemnly, “According to the intelligence, the orc city seems to have suffered a large-scale mutation this time. Many of the tribes there escaped. I heard that a large portion escaped to the Kaiser Plains, and many tribes also fled to the Blackrock Plains. There are quite a number of foreign orcs, causing the originally not very rich resources of the Blackrock Forest to become extremely tight. The fighting became more intense, and the situation was very chaotic!”
Isabelle nodded. Everything was within her expectations. Although the Blackrock Plains was one of the three great golden lands in the north, the fertile land was far from the other two, therefore, for thousands of years, only the Blackrock tribe and the Dragon Roar tribe were born here. Moreover, other than the fertile land, the other areas of the Blackrock Forest were actually relatively barren.
In such a situation, it was naturally difficult to accommodate so many refugees. Fighting was inevitable… …
“I heard from the guards that you brought back thousands of orcs and so many cows and sheep. What did you do there?”Isabelle asked.
Wesker laughed dryly. Bringing back cows and sheep was to bring back supplies. Many people in the city were puzzled… …
“It all started from the day we walked out of the Black Stone Path…”
