To sign or not to sign.
Sylutia hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, then picked up a special feather pen and wrote the words "Anloer".
Then Albayou took out the seal of the Chamber of Commerce, signed his name first, and then stamped it.
Soon, a subtle fire spread across the entire page, and then the contract paper changed color, a new pattern covered the writing, and everything on it was fixed.
"Thank you, Miss Anloer, for your cooperation." Albayou stood up and put the contract paper away.
Now that the cooperation has been reached, there is little point in regretting it, and the three of them began to negotiate other things.
"Mr. Albayou, have you heard of "Cornflower"?" Sylutia suddenly remembered something.
"Cornflower? This is the first time I know this term." It seems that he has never seen it before.
In fact, not long after coming to Scorched Stone City, Sylutia also asked about the name of this kind of flower, but neither Gardener Guild nor Lady Falan had heard of it.
Could it be that the names are different in different places? Maybe there are other local names, Sylutia thought to himself.
"However, I can help Ms. Anloer get relevant information. Wind-Cliff City is close to the border and the information is quite well-informed."
"Thank you." The girl let the question go for the time being.
Soon, Cali asked Albayou about preparations for border war.
"I remember two years ago, Regas Kingdom just signed a contract with the Anti Kingdom in the north and declared a truce. Is there going to be another war now?"
"That's right, after the "Battle of the Windmill" ended two years ago, we and Anti Kingdom declared a truce, ceded some territory, and compensated a lot of losses. This incident made His Majesty very angry, and even Viscount Callen was imprisoned because of it." Albayou replied.
"Originally, we all thought that the war would come to an end and that there would be no major conflicts within at least ten years."
"But now the situation has changed. According to reports from informants on the border at the Anti Kingdom, there are now undercurrents flowing within the Anti Kingdom, and many nobles want to start a war again. Under such circumstances, even if the royal family of the Anti Kingdom does not want to start a war, it will be difficult to suppress the voices of the people below."
"Why are those nobles so eager to start a war?" The girl tilted her head in confusion.
"Because they won too easily last time, and only some nobles reaped the rewards. The quick truce ended before many of Anti's great nobles in the country could react."
"We didn't get a share of the pie, but the nobles who thought they were powerful were jealous, thinking that we could manipulate it as we pleased, and were unwilling to end it here. It just so happened that during this period, the main heirs of the Anti royal family were each striving for power. They all hope to become the next generation of kings, and the factions around them will not give up easily to build momentum."
Is the fight for the throne spreading... Sylutia probably understands the reason.
The throne of this world has real power. In other words, at the worst, you can use the high-level Aspect Power brought by the throne to gain physical strength, a healthier body and a longer lifespan. Therefore, those who are qualified to inherit must seize every possible opportunity to snatch it.
"Let's put it this way, you guys probably make a lot of money." Cali will beat the opponent. According to this situation, the military will not lower the price too much, which means that Copper Halberd Chamber of Commerce's profit will not be low.
"Yes, thank you Ms. Anloer for your kindness. If there is anything you need in particular, we can help you keep an eye on it and deliver it to you next time you purchase." The other party's attitude was calm. The contract has been signed at this moment anyway, so there is no need to hide it.
"Well..." Sylutia thought about what he still lacked.
"If you have extraordinary jewelry that can hide your identity, please help me keep an eye out for it. I occasionally need it to hide my overly conspicuous identity and facilitate movement." She said directly.
"This is easy. I will ask the local cooperative guild to ask their experts to make it for you. I wonder what style of jewelry you like?" Since he is already a good partner, the businessman is also very generous and is ready to have a good relationship with the girl.
"Ring, I need a specific pattern shape." She planned to engrave the appearance of Cornflower in her memory on the ring, so that it would be easier to ask others.
After saying that, she asked Lining to bring some paper and hand-draw Cornflower's pattern.
"Is this what "Cornflower" originally looked like? No problem. I will specifically ask the craftsmen to make it carefully for you." Albayou accepted the drawings.
After that, the three of them sat for a while again until Albayou left.
"Tomorrow I will bring my entourage to pick up the goods, and I also ask Miss Anloer to be ready." After saying that, he bent down and saluted, bidding farewell to the girl.
After the chamber of commerce representative left, Cali stood beside Sylutia, putting his hand lightly on her shoulder to comfort her.
"We haven't seen each other for a while, and Anloer has become a lot more generous." She was quite surprised that this young girl could make her own decision and agreed to the deal.
According to her original estimate, Anloer might refuse and wait until Lady Falan comes back before making a decision, because no one expected that Lady Falan would give such great authority to Sylutia. In addition, it was not clear how much "Sun Seed Oil" Lady Falan had stored, so various information asymmetries led to misunderstandings.
"Actually, I was a little nervous just now, fearing that it would be handled improperly and sold too cheaply." Sylutia didn't hide it.
"But after you came here, you didn't have much opinion on the price. I probably have a good idea." She answered honestly.
"Haha, this is considered a clever move." Cali responded with a smile.
"This price is indeed relatively high in normal times, but since the war may start again, the profit margin is also larger, but it is just a little less."
"Sometimes cooperation doesn't have to be too restrictive. You can leave some room for each other, and you can get along more happily. Just like just now, since the other party has already taken advantage, you can also make some requests again. The other party will probably agree if they consider long-term cooperation."
"Especially for some situations, maintaining relationships is even more important than making money." Cali raised his finger.
"You will gradually understand this sentence later."
"Okay, now that the matter has been settled, I won't bother you."
"Why don't you leave dinner? In addition, I have prepared a gift for you." Sylutia thought that by inviting Mrs. Cali over this time, she should at least express her gratitude.
"You don't have to spend money, Anloer, haha, you are too young, don't worry about this."
"When Lady Falan comes back next time, she will prepare a gift for me as a reward for helping you negotiate this time." Treating Sylutia, Cali touched her head again, then said goodbye and left.
The next day, Mrs. Cali and Albayou visited again. Under the assistance and supervision of Mrs. Cali, three hundred and three bottles of "Sun Seed Oil" delivered the goods smoothly, Albayou also signed a contract confirming receipt, leaving it to Anloer, and handed over 1,200 gold coins to Sylutia for confirmation.
These gold coins were neatly placed in three iron boxes, reflecting the golden brilliance in the sunlight.
