make a deal?!

Baron Pierre, who had never expected that Justinian would be so open-mouthed, looked like he had suffered from stomach trouble before, and his facial features were almost twisted into a ball.

"Are you kidding me!" The furious man shouted angrily, completely ignoring his so-called restraint.

Pierre, who was angry at Justinian's exorbitant asking price, was about to issue an eviction order, but Justinian, who had been prepared for it, said calmly: "You didn't even ask me what this great gift was.

How can you be sure that I'm playing tricks on you?"

"Huh, Justinian, I'm not in the mood to play tricks with you here. Now I don't tie you up and send you to the Latins to remain neutral. I already care about our previous friendship. You still come to me to propose such a rude thing?

Request! Do you think I will still board your pirate ship?" Pierre said impatiently with a serious face, and there was still no mercy in his words, but Justinian still keenly captured the other party's hot temper just now.

My temper has calmed down a lot.

As expected, it is too late to do so if there is no profit. Once he realizes that there is a profit to be made, the pizza man in front of him will put aside all prejudices and even take risks.

Seeing that it was time to strike while the iron was hot, Justinian finally got to the point of persuading a person, which was nothing more than stating the pros and cons, and outlining the invisible benefits with eloquent language to make the other party forget or ignore the risks they had already seen.

"Your Excellency Pierre, what you said is so sad. To be fair, the cooperation between you and me should be more pleasant. Even if we don't talk about the profits brought by Nafplion's maritime transit, I

Granting you the privilege of trading in Moria has already made you and your city-state a lot of profit, hasn't it?" Justinian said with a smile, looking at the man in front of him.

Baron Pierre did not deny it, and nodded generously, "That's true, but this is the reward I deserve for assisting you in attacking Argos and Athens. Based on this alone, I'm afraid I have no obligation to help you.

Right, Your Excellency Justinian?"

"Indeed, but please don't forget that it is precisely because of this that the entire Latin nobles in the north hate you." Justinian suddenly raised his voice, "In Athens, if it were not for the help of your battleships,

If so, I'm afraid they have crushed the Roman legions from Agrinion

siege. But because of your intervention, countless of them lost their relatives and friends in that battle, and finally humiliated themselves and chose to become vassals of this cunning Greek of mine. So now, Mr. Pierre, do you still think that those French

Do people and Germans still have any favorable impressions of you, an Italian?"

"You, are you threatening me?"

"No, it's just stating an objective fact. Let me remind you that the Latin people's wooing before was just to stabilize you. If the entire Moria is really overturned, Nafplio is now transcendent

Can you really keep your position?" Justinian said meaningfully, looking at the weakness of the man in front of him.

This undoubtedly stung Baron Pierre's pain. Unlike the Genoese and Venetians, his mother country of Pisa was unable to deter those crusader knights who were mad and vengeful.

The slightly ugly man looked at Justinian with an unkind sneer and said: "So what? After all, you still haven't told me what the benefits of helping you are. If I really help you suppress those guys

, I’m afraid that like Nafplio, I will no longer own it.”

This statement undoubtedly means that Pierre has put down all pretense and has a direct showdown with Justinian. Both parties are smart people and know what their bottom line and intentions are. Pierre knows that if Justinian really

If he has mastered the entire Moria, then he will truly have the opportunity to compete for the Purple Crown.

Qualifications, and he and Nafplion will inevitably become anachronistic existences. Cooperating with the young man in front of him regardless of the consequences is completely seeking skin from a tiger, and in the end he can only make wedding dresses for others, so he must force Justinian to make a promise

Only then can we have enough bargaining chips at the future negotiation table.

But what Justinian said next surprised Pierre.

"You are right. After all this is over, Nafplio must return to the embrace of the empire, and all the Pisa people here, except permanent settlers, will leave the city. This is my final bottom line. All threats in Moria

All will be excluded."

Such harsh and harsh conditions were simply not something Justinian would say. Even Baron Pierre almost thought there was something wrong with his ears, but it was obvious that this young man was not joking.

Just when the dumbfounded man was about to explode in silence, Justinian's voice sounded in his ears again, but he was completely speechless. The nameless anger that had arisen in his heart was suddenly extinguished.

.

"Of course in exchange, Thessaloniki can be leased to Pisa for free for twenty years. The empire I represent will not have any interference. As for the conditions, it is what I said before, borrow troops and then withdraw.

Nafplion." Justinian calmly stated his conditions, but in front of him, Baron Pierre was still immersed in the huge amount of information and couldn't extricate himself.

After a while, the man came back to his senses and said in a daze: "Thessaloniki? Are you serious!"

I never expected that Justinian would actually put forward such a condition. Compared with Thessalonica, Nafplion is just a small village. You must know that it was the second largest city in the Roman Empire after Constantinople.

Dimburg's second largest city, despite being devastated by the war, is still a large city with extraordinary status. Justinian's handing over made Baron Pierre wonder if there was a fraud.

"You don't want us to use Thessalonica to help you resist the threat from the north!" Pierre, who suddenly realized Justinian's intentions, said in shock and anger, he almost had this

The way of a boy.

But to his surprise, Justinian crossed his fingers and admitted frankly: "It is true, but this is indeed the best result for you and me. Think about it, your mother state, the Republic of Pisa

What kind of situation have we been forced to by the Genoese people now? If this continues, I can guarantee that we will not exceed

In twenty years, you will be completely defeated by Genoa at sea. But with the blood transfusion from the city of Thessalonica, twenty years will be enough for you to resolve the current crisis. By then, the upper-class nobles of Pisa will not sit idly by.

You will definitely intervene directly. In this case, what else do you have to worry about?"

Justinian's lobbying seemed to have a unique magic power. A simple and clear statement of the pros and cons was enough to defeat the hesitation in the man in front of him. He really needed a chance to ascend to the status of a high-ranking noble, let alone today's Pisa.

His motherland was indeed in crisis, and the price Justinian offered this time was really too tempting.

"Okay, deal! Remember what you said, Justinian." Finally made up his mind, the man said.
Chapter completed!
