"Lord Kuster, are you sure it's the Galen?"

In order to make sure that the conversation would not be heard by the people around him, not only did he send his men to guard the surroundings, but Dean got into the Chancellor's carriage and asked in a deep voice.

Some plagiarism. Listeners, in addition to excellent hearing, rely more on vision.

Lip language, for them, is too simple.

"Of course!"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer looked at Dean who was sitting across from him, nodded slightly, and then reached out and pulled open the drawer on the first floor of his room, which looked like a compartment trimmed with gold trim from the outside, and when it was opened, it contained a refreshment, goblet, wine bottle, and some other beverages in glass bottles.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer took out a bottle of red wine, poured himself a glass, and then motioned to Dean, but Dean waved his hand and refused.

"I don't drink!"

Dean said.

"I didn't drink alcohol when I was younger, but when I got older, I ...... The effect of wine is evident - I really envy you strong people, even in your seventies and eighties, you can be as energetic as young people! ”

With a hint of exclamation, the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought Dean a cup of tea-like drink, and at the same time took out a plate of small snacks and placed it in front of the two of them—a small coffee table extending from the car door.

This small coffee table is retracted by two 'X'-like wooden brackets mixed with iron nails, and when not in use, the coffee table can be turned over and pushed back to merge with the door. It's like now. Pull it out. Then, the coffee table is flipped over and held in place by two latches, which is very delicate.

In fact, the whole carriage was very delicate.

Judging from Dean's previous life as an assassin, there are several other 'mechanisms' that are convenient for life in this carriage, and each of them can be revealed. The owner of the carriage was a man who knew how to live.

And this is very much in line with the rumors of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Among the people who are recognized as the most able to enjoy life in the entire Emerald Capital, this Chancellor of Finance is definitely one of them.

Of course, if it weren't for that looming pressure, Dean wouldn't mind being one of them, but it's definitely not now—

"All the Wolf family's savings were invested in the construction of ships?"

Thinking of the pitiful statistics that Lauder had brought back about Kimpton in the Wolfe family's treasure trove, Dean took his teacup and took a sip; But. After feeling the slightly sour taste of the drink in the cup on the tip of his tongue, Dean couldn't help but frown—even though it looked similar to tea. But it's definitely not tea, it's a bit like juice.

Dean wasn't very fond of it, though.

Just out of politeness, after taking another sip, it was placed on the coffee table and no longer moved.

"It's a medicinal tea that gives you a quick boost of energy, which is very much needed for an old man like me...... The Wolf family's financial resources? If you have accepted the treasure trove of the Wolf family mansion, you should know that there is nothing in it! If it is said that force, because of that guy Delong, there is quite a remarkable force, but the financial strength of the Wolf family is completely dependent on strength. Steal. Delong, who started by means, how could he accumulate wealth in the true sense? Of course, I'm not talking about you! ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer spoke of his old rival with admiration, disdain and, of course, an explanation of Dean.

"And those ships, and other people involved?"

Dean had nothing special to say about the Chancellor's explanation, after all, Dean knew very well what his 'good fortune' looked like in the eyes of others - there was no shortage of such jealous figures at any time.

"Well, at least four members of the royal family are involved!"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer nodded, giving Dean a not very surprising answer.

After all, Delong. Wolfe, the military minister, is the 'supporter' and 'protector' of most members of the royal family.

"Are there magic cannons in any of these ships?"

Dean pondered for a moment, asking his top concerns.

After all, the standard length of one hundred and fifty feet of the Galen ship was no ordinary ship, this kind of warship invented by the craftsmen of the Jade Grand Duke for long-distance combat and better handling, in order to carry out magic cannons for more thorough naval battles - and because of this, there were only three ships in the entire Emerald Navy ranking.

The high cost of the ships themselves has always prevented the Jade Grand Duke from perfecting his navy in the true sense.

As far as Dean knew, the cost of the ship alone was about 100,000 Kimptons, without any sailors, sailing equipment, attack equipment, etc.

And if these devices were to be perfected, an equal number of Kimptons would be needed.

Of course, this does not include magic cannons.

Even the smallest caliber magic cannon is not counted - in fact, the equipment of the magic cannon has always been a headache for the Jade Grand Duke.

After all, the technology is in the hands of the Free Federation's Mystic Island.

Whether it is a simple purchase or subsequent repairs, it is a high, large amount of Kimpton, far exceeding the cost of the ship itself.

Or, to be precise, the Galen ship itself appeared to carry a magic cannon, and it was just a turret in itself, and its value was naturally far inferior to the cannon itself!

But the Galen ship equipped with a magic cannon can be called a Galen ship, without the magic cannon, only small catapults and ballistas to fight, the Galen ship is just a larger sailboat.

So, if it was a Galen ship with a magic cannon, Dean would definitely take it, and if it was a normal Galen ship, Dean would be dispensable—although, in Dean's backup plan, there was an idea of avoiding Sitty's powerful army and seeking development overseas.

But Dean didn't get involved lightly, not for fear of offending more people. Dean, whom Wolf killed, knows very well. He has already been regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh by most of the moth-like royal family. Faced with such a situation. Dean will naturally not compromise, and the corresponding other party will not let Dean go.

And under such irreconcilability, what both sides are offended by is a joke, they are enemies themselves, and they still count on the mercy of each other's subordinates, which is simply a joke.

What really made Dean want to get involved was that looking for something overseas was just a preliminary idea. Compared to a complete plan to retreat to the north, such a plan can only be regarded as a backup.

He doesn't have enough manpower and funds to complete this backup plan.

Of course, if there is a magic cannon on Galen's ship, it means something else.

Whether it's relying on the magic cannon on Galen's ship to gallop in the waters of another country, or disassembling the magic cannon and installing it in his own city, it is something that Dean is very happy to do.

"There are two Galen ships, each with a medium-caliber and a small-caliber magic cannon!"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer did not hide it, and naturally told the news he had received.

"I've got two Galen ships, including magic cannons. The rest is yours - including the Wolf family's one in the Emerald Capital! ”

Dean said very dryly.

The fact that the Volvo family does not have a wealth does not mean that the Wolf family does not have enough money.

In fact. Compared with the Wolf family, the Pola family's twenty-seven shops in the Emerald City can only be regarded as poor; Of course, those two caravans are still very eye-catching.

"Oh, that's a great deal!"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't help but laugh when he heard Dean's words—for him, the Emerald Capital was far more important than any other place.

After all, his family's roots are here.

As for the Galen ship with the magic cannon?

Without the support of the Jade Grand Duke, I'm afraid that even docking supplies and repairs will be a problem, otherwise I will have to cooperate with Delong. Wolf generally conducted maritime trade in the form of armed merchant ships.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is not sensitive to this.

After all, he didn't have the navigating skills of the frost nobles, and a storm was enough to make him lose all his money.

That's why he will exchange these 'useless things' for more tangible things, and it just so happens that Dean, who was born in the frost aristocracy, is a very good trader.

Dean not only has a secret seamanship, but also has a good relationship with the Emerald Grand Duke.

Undoubtedly, the fleet can play its due value in the hands of the other party.

That's why the Chancellor of the Exchequer will find Dean in the first place, and no one else.

"How about the Bora family's mansion being mine? In exchange for the remaining eight armed merchant ships of that fleet! ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer smiled and said another deal in his heart.

Of course, he had already completed the largest deal, and there was a hint of discussion between the words, and he didn't want to make the previous transaction unpleasant because of some small unhappiness.

"Yes!"

Without thinking about it, Dean nodded.

"I am really amazed by your generosity - I guarantee that the contracts of the sailors, first mates, and captains on those ships will be handed over to you in the same way as those ships!"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer looked at Dean in surprise, and then laughed.

He found that he had a little liking for the young lad.

People who don't care about anything are always liked, aren't they?

"When these things come into my hands, I will also hand over to you the contract in the Emerald City regarding the Bora family mansion and the Wolf family—of course, those Delon. I'm not going to let go of Wolfe's collection of secret techniques! ”

Dean added jokingly.

"Of course, of course, if you need secret arts, secret transmission, I think I can help in the future!"

For the chancellor of the Exchequer, secret art and secret transmission are another kind of Kimpton value entirely, as long as there is enough Kimpton, these are not a problem at all.

So, he didn't care at all.

"That's so grateful!"

Dean smiled and nodded.

Suddenly, the relationship between the two sides seemed to be good.

Some words could be talked about at will, until a bell rang in the distance.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The bell that represents the beginning of the dinner.
