Chapter 96 Business
"Thank you, Count Rudolph. I, I can. You can call me Elena directly. How can I call you Aka?" Elena said shyly. Her words made Doris and Phoenix laugh badly and kept frustrating her arms with their fingers.
"It's a great honor, Elena." Arcado originally came here to deepen cooperation with the elves, and of course he will not refuse the request of the elves princess.
"A, Arcado, I like your gift very much." The nervous Elena even stadded a little, and she drove away from time to time to tease her sisters.
"That's great. Her Royal Highness is welcome to visit Rome Island at any time." Arcado quickly sent an invitation. If the elf princess supports Rome Island, then at least Rome Island can keep peace for a year, which makes Arcado, who needs the most time, very happy.
The banquet has been ordered to be moved to the Princess Elena to continue. Some of the nobles blew the cool breeze on the river on the deck, and some felt the impact of mechanical civilization in the cabin. Most of the young nobles gathered near the bar on the ship. They found the design of Arcado's previous life and went deep in an instant. Deeply fell in love with this design, where they can watch the beautiful waiters pouring wine in various postures, chat with each other and brag, and meet other elf noble girls. Not all of them come for Princess Elena, at least these people are not.
The whole ship sailed on the water near the palace at a speed of more than a dozen knots, which was comfortable and natural. At Arcado's suggestion, Elena came to the stern to enjoy the splashes from the oars. The cool river wind blew the princess's hair, revealing her beautiful sharp ears, which fascinated Arcado a little.
"Acardo, do you think these waves are alive?" Elena stared at the distant waves and asked Arcado without looking back. Doris and Phoenix have taken the nobles far away, and they are deliberately preparing an opportunity for them to be alone.
"They have no life. They are just rivers brought by oars. They are like countless dust in the world, blown by the wind." Arcado tells the truth.
"Maybe they have life? It's just for a short time. They bloom and then wither. Elena said a little sadly.
"You don't have to be sad about them. Even so, they are the happiest waves in the world." Arcado said with a smile.
"Why?" Elena looked back at the smiling Arcado.
"Because it is much happier to die in front of such a beautiful girl as you than to die in front of someone like me, right?" Arcado's praise made Elena blush to her neck, and the quiet princess reminded Arcado of Meadow at this moment.
"Count Rudolph, I'm sorry to bother you, but I still took the liberty to come here." The voice of the Elf Queen sounded behind the two, with a funny joke.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. What can I do for you?" Arcado asked with a smile.
"Let's talk about our cooperation." The elf queen said with a smile.
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty, Alger, Alger!" Arcado shouted maliciously and saw Alger looking over in the distance. Arcado made a standard invitation etiquette to the Queen in front of him, and then continued to shout, "Remember your oath, Alger."
Then Arcado turned around, smiled apologetically at the Elf Queen, and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, now we can continue to talk."
The Elf Queen didn't care about Akado's strange behavior and continued, "You said you were a businessman, so I want to buy your things. Will you sell them or not?"
"Your Majesty, it depends on what you buy. I have a lot of things that I never intend to sell." Arcado said with a smile.
"I don't know what you don't sell?" There was a murder in the eyes of the Elf Queen.
"Friends can never be sold, and I will not sell my beloved girl. Of course, my own ideals will definitely not be sold to you." Arcado said with a smile.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that Count Rudolph was still an affectionate businessman." The queen hid the murder in her eyes and said with a charming smile.
"If I guess correctly, I believe the Queen came for Princess Elena, right?" Akado restrained his smile and said seriously.
"Yes, I want to buy ten such boats." The Elf Queen looked at Arcado and continued, "In addition, I want to customize a cruise ship more beautiful than the Princess Elena."
"Your Majesty, first of all, the safety of Rome Island is that few people can drive to Rome Island. If we sell our ship, the elves can attack Rome Island at any time. Her Majesty, ten Zheng He-class transport ships, can transport 5,000 soldiers to Rome Island at a time, if you are willing to If it is crowded and may transport 6,000 people, the safety of our Rome Island cannot be guaranteed, Your Majesty. Accado analyzed.
"Are you afraid that the elves will attack Rome?" The queen looked at Arcado: "How dare you be so provocative? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you now?"
"Your Majesty, I am the owner of Romer. Even if you kill me now, I will be responsible for my people on my island!" Arcado looked motionlessly at the elf queen in front of him and did not flinch: "I said that I would not betray my friend. You'd better think about how to impress me and let me sell you a crystal power boat."
"So you will still consider selling boats?" The queen smiled and still stared at Arcado and said, "I will provide you with 3,000 elves as permanent residents of the island and your residents!"
"Look, Your Majesty, you have grasped the point of the matter." Arcado smiled with the queen and continued, "This is not worth ten ships."
"The elves will select 300 soldiers and completely obey your orders. They will use natural contracts to be loyal to you, completely your own private armament. At least, they will strengthen the security of your island. The Queen continued.
"What else? I'm starting to be interested, Your Majesty. Arcado became serious.
"We will pay 1 million gold coins for the new ship as the construction cost of Rome Island." The queen continued to say slowly, "And except for my cruise ship, you can deliver the other ten ships slowly, within two years."
"This condition is very good, Your Majesty, it seems that you want more than just these ten crystal power boats, what else do you want?"
"Yes, I want the new ship you are designing. Don't tell me that you don't have it. The Black Pearl is the largest ship on Romem Island. You are also building this kind of new ship under our feet one after another, so you must have a bigger and better ship in the design, right?"
"I began to think that Your Majesty, you are a businessman. How big is the ship you need?" Arcado said with a smile.
"It can carry 700 soldiers and more than three crossbow guns." The elf queen said solemnly.
"I will design a warship specially for the Elf Forest to help the Elf Forest build a strong navy." Arcado said with a smile.
"In addition, how much are you going to pay for my Queen Andria cruise ship?" The queen asked curiously.
"20 million gold coins, you also need to lend me 500 elf artists." Arcado said with a smile
