Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

Five minutes later, in Levi's study.

Gallieu sat on the sofa, picked up the coffee leisurely, sniffed it lightly, then frowned without any trace, and said very casually:

"Baron Levi, since we are all relatives, we might as well talk openly. Your new trebuchet is indeed excellent, but its shortcomings are also obvious.

First of all, if you want to increase the power of your new trebuchet, you must increase its size, which is destined to be limited to city defense.

Secondly, your new trebuchet takes up too much space, and many existing fortifications may not be suitable for installing a large number of such trebuchets.

Finally, the principle of this thing is too simple. I think I can easily copy it from memory when I go back, let alone other hostile forces. "

Levi laughed and said calmly

"Lord Garrieux, you are joking. This new trebuchet is extremely powerful, has high shooting accuracy, is cheap to build, and has low operating thresholds. Just a few of the advantages I listed at random have already surpassed the old trebuchet.

I think the few small limitations you listed cannot cover up its own superiority at all.

As for the fact that you can directly imitate it when you go back, don’t joke with me. Although I have not been in contact with you for a long time, some of your good qualities have been revealed inadvertently. I still very much recognize your character.

Moreover, the credibility of the Norton family is obvious to all in the North and even the entire kingdom. I believe that the Earl Norton family's brand name is not that cheap. "

Garrieux couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"Baron Levi, you are really difficult to deal with. Let's talk about something practical. What is your price? Or what do you want to get?"

Naturally, the next step was Li Wei's demanding price.

"Lord Garrieux, you see, I have defeated this orc attack this time, and I have also killed more than 700 orc elites, including the opponent's commander. Such military achievements are not too much for a barony.

In addition, I think this new trebuchet will definitely shine in this war. It would be very easy for the Norton family to use this trebuchet to obtain three or four baronies.

My requirements are not high, I just hope that I can put my name on the new trebuchet, and I will be satisfied if I can be assigned another barony. "

"Baron Levi," Gallieu said with a smile, "you are really a lion with a big mouth."

"First of all, there are four feint attack forces like the one attacking the Black Mountain Territory in Green County, not to mention the other border counties in the entire northern border that border the orcs.

These so-called "partial divisions" with limited strength are simply not worth the military merit of a barony, unless you can defeat two or three such troops at the same time with your family's private army.

Secondly, if we want to turn this new trebuchet into military merit, our Norton family also has to invest a lot of contacts, and the profit is really limited.

Thirdly, if your name is linked again, it will not be a matter of our Norton family earning one less barony at all. The additional cost will be equivalent to our Norton family working almost in vain. "

"What's your price range?"

"We can run a barony for the Monterey family, and then support some supplies in the name of helping relatives."

"Lord Garrieux, your price is a bit unfair. I can't accept it."

After pondering for a moment, Gallie took a step back and said, "How about this? You can easily choose an unowned barony in Green County."

"Lord Garrieux, you see that our Montenegrin Territory has been beaten to pieces by the orcs. Now it can be said that everything is in dire straits. We lack a large number of craftsmen and labor. Considering that we are all relatives, you can support me for another hundred and fifty years." How about ten craftsmen and two thousand young men?”

"Baron Levi, you are too greedy. I am afraid that you can only drain a barony to collect so many craftsmen and young men. Our Norton family can give you at most 50 craftsmen and a thousand slaves."

Levi struggled, gritted his teeth, and finally agreed.

"Lord Garrieux, I accept your conditions. Let's talk about the barony. The Baron of the Gray Rock Territory has become extinct. That territory borders our Black Mountain Territory. I hope the Norton family can help me win this territory this time. .

In addition, I am willing to pay a 10% premium and purchase some slaves through the channels of the Norton family. "

"It's easy to talk about. We are all relatives, so in this case, we have reached an agreement." Gallieu was smiling, obviously very satisfied with this transaction.

The Norton family obtained such a strategically significant city defense weapon at a negligible price.

More importantly, whether it is sitting on the credit for negotiating this deal or making friends with a promising new star like Levi, it is beneficial to Gallie.

Levi was no less satisfied with the deal than Gallieu.

The Monterey family is like an insignificant insect compared to the entire kingdom. Even if they offer war weapons such as counterweight trebuchets, it will be difficult to obtain benefits quickly because no one takes them seriously, or the benefits obtained will be extremely limited. .

By trading with the Norton family, you can quickly get a barony, some craftsmen, and labor force. The most important thing is that this means that the Monterey family has once again become involved with the Norton family.

At least in Green County, the Monterey family's political environment will be much better. Moreover, the rat who had previously murdered the original person had not yet been found out. With the Norton family intimidating him, Levi believed that the other party would not dare to take action again in a short period of time.

This can be called a win-win transaction and both parties are very satisfied.

Early the next morning, the military officials and Gallie left the Montenegro Territory after bidding farewell to Li Wei, and returned to the county to resume their duties. The military officials pulled two carts full of orc heads, while Garrieux carried the design drawings and shooting table drawing instructions provided by Levi.

The capital of Green County, Mantra City.

Earl of Norton's House.

"Oh? Are you saying that the current Baron Monterey is better than his grandfather and is worthy of our Norton family's investment?"

"Yes, father, although Levi Monterey is still very immature, I am very impressed by his wisdom, courage, and calmness. I have compiled a more detailed battle history. You will definitely be impressed by Levi's performance. Amazing.

And I inquired that Levi also has a good talent as a spell caster. Within a month of advancing to the third level, he can silently cast several third-level witchcrafts, and the innate skills he awakened when he broke through the third level are far superior to his peers.

Witnessed by countless people, he released a fourth-level contracted monster with extraordinary talent. I learned from many people that this was a talent that Levi awakened when he broke through the third level. "

"If that's the case, then he's really worth our investment."

"And I also reached a deal with Baron Levi on behalf of the Norton family. Father, I guarantee that our Norton family will definitely make a profit in this transaction."
