"Since Her Royal Highness has not decided yet, it means there is only one option..."

...It sounds like the princess might help him with equipment modifications when he comes here.

Dean sighed and decided not to embarrass himself.

"The other candidate is the heroic mage Mira, right?"

He asked a little uncertainly: "I give a commission to the magicians, can they accept it?"

After all, the two sides are still competitors. If they really agree, it would be equivalent to staking their claim on the enemy, right?

Ryan said honestly: "I think the witch may need to worry about this, but you shouldn't need to worry about it for the time being."

After all, the strength of these two forces was too obvious to be separated from the last two. He recognized his friend's potential, but he really didn't think that based on the current situation, there was a need for the other party to be too wary of Dean.

Seeing his extremely sincere expression, Dean choked instantly, his throat rolled up and down, and for a moment he didn't know what to say back.

After the two were silent for a long time, Ryan cleared his throat and changed his reason nonchalantly, "The magicians caused a lot of damage in Area 13. Adjutant Timothy was very insistent on compensation. It is said that they paid compensation for this."

A lot of money, most of which was borne by the magician named Mira."

"Even if she was relatively wealthy before, after spending such a large sum of money, her wallet will be wiped out by more than half. If you entrust her at this time, even if you are a competitor, there is a high probability that she will not be rejected."

Everything was as normal as if the previous conversation had never happened.

Dean said with a fake smile, "It makes sense, I will refer to it."

The words of approval coupled with his expression revealed an obvious sense of disharmony.

Ryan couldn't help but pick up the tea cup and cover up his embarrassment by drinking tea.

After joking for a while, Dean took the initiative to bring the topic back to the topic, "I hope that the entrusted magic prop maker can sign a confidentiality contract. Can the magician... agree?"

After all, the blood analysis equipment was obtained from Morrison, and it was inconvenient to reveal its origin to outsiders, so just in case, it was best to sign a confidentiality contract so that he could feel more at ease.

Otherwise, it would be terrible if Mira completed the commission and turned around and reported his matter to the Knights.

Ryan didn't ask him why he had such a need, but just analyzed: "You follow the normal entrustment process and signing a confidentiality contract is not an excessive request."

"Since Mira is as famous as she is now, it means that her level and reputation have been recognized by the public. As long as she signs a confidentiality contract, there should be no problem."

After hearing this, Dean's expression softened slightly, but then, the man in front of him changed the topic and overturned the conclusion just now.

"But you are now competitors after all..."

"Mila may not be worried about staking the enemy, but she may choose to refuse because she is worried that you are setting a trap."

Ryan said objectively.

And this is what Dean is worried about.

In the current preparation time before the official start of the Origin Guild selection, the relationship between the four forces is in a relatively tense state.

Each of them may stumble upon each other for this quota.

The binding confidentiality contract that Dean wants to sign is likely to be within the other party's alert range.

Although he knew that he didn't have that kind of intention, there was no good way to make the other party take the risk.

If you think about it this way, the possibility that Mira will refuse is relatively high.

Seeing the thoughtful look on his face, he seemed to be in some kind of dilemma. Ryan couldn't help but come up with a bad idea, "If Mira doesn't understand, you can also choose to wait for Her Royal Highness Princess Sigrid."

When we come to District 13, ask her to help with the renovation."

When he mentioned Her Royal Highness the Princess, a look of pride suddenly appeared on his face.

"Your Highness can definitely be called a master-level figure in the production of magic props. Even R'lyeh City recognizes this. Every year when the knowledge exchange meeting is held, she is invited to give courses. That Mi

I dare not say how good the magician is, but Her Highness must be better than her."

Dean glanced at him, doubting the authenticity of this statement.

Because when Ryan said this, his face was filled with an emotion that could be called blind confidence.

It's very similar to those mercenaries in the tavern who start bragging after a glass of wine.

It's really hard to trust.

Moreover, even if Princess Sigrid's level is really as high as he described, there is still a serious problem before Dean...

"Even if the princess really comes to District 13, she won't be able to help an ordinary breeder like me modify the equipment, right?"

Upon hearing this question, Ryan paused and was a little stunned by the question.

This question is different from the previous one. The confidential information involved cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

Whether it is the conflict between Paul II and Paul III or the political stance of Her Royal Highness, these are things that cannot be discussed in detail with Dean.

So Ryan could only say vaguely: "Maybe His Highness is very interested in selective breeding."

"What a weak explanation."

Dean commented, "This reason is much more perfunctory than the previous two."

The so-called "two reasons before" were naturally used by Ryan to explain why Mira would not refuse to "fund the enemy".

Listening to his old talk again, Ryan raised the tea cup again and poured himself tea in a disguised manner.

"Hmm? Has Her Majesty the Princess ever modified equipment for ordinary people, or ordinary civilians?"

Although he didn't know the secret behind it, after thinking about it for a while, Dean quickly realized something was wrong.

If there was no possibility at all, Ryan shouldn't have mentioned it to himself so many times.

And since he has been teasing himself, it means that this plan is not completely uncertain.

"Yes."

Sure enough, Ryan gave an affirmative answer.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has always insisted that an excellent magic prop maker is tempered by being constantly made things difficult for her. Therefore, she has concealed her identity and accepted many commissions that sounded outrageous to others, including the following

Many civilians, because..."

Dean held his chin up and continued: "Because only people who don't understand anything often make the most difficult requests."

The same is true for concealing one's identity. It can prevent these people from retreating and putting forward some simple ideas because of their identity as princesses.

With such determination and consciousness, it is no wonder that Princess Sigrid has become the leading magic prop maker.

While thinking this, Dean's heart moved.

If Princess Sigrid has this kind of character that faces difficulties, then the equipment modification she wants may not be successful.

Seeing that Dean seemed a little shaken, Ryan curled his lips and finally couldn't help but reveal his fox tail.

"So, do you now also think that it is a good thing for Her Royal Highness the Princess to come to District 13 as a representative of the royal family?"

Um?

After hearing the knight's words, Dean put down his teacup. The two doubts that had been lingering in his mind were instantly answered, and he felt like he suddenly understood.

"Is this the purpose of tempting me all the time?"

"Ahem, cough, actually it doesn't count."

Ryan waved his hand and denied.

"The main reason is that the leader wanted to put more pressure on himself, so he said this before I left, giving me a chance to talk to you."

"I didn't want to mention it at first, but the topic of equipment modification was so suitable that I couldn't hold it back for a moment, so..."

As he spoke, two blushes appeared on his face.

Dean felt a chill at the sight.

He found that Captain Lensak was really a ruthless person. He could force such an upright Ryan to behave in such a frivolous manner, which was considered a different kind of mastery.

He shook his head funny and interrupted: "What do you need me to do?"

"...If you can provide some information about magic pets, or books related to breeding, the leader said it should be able to attract the princess to a certain extent..."

It's not an excessive request.

Dean nodded readily and said, "Okay, but when the time comes, the Knights will have to tell me a few more things about equipment modification."

"Of course...of course."

The topic got deeper and deeper, and Ryan became visibly guilty.

He was a little worried. When Dean really went to Her Majesty the Princess to make this request, he wouldn't be settled by Captain Qiu Hou, right?

Ryan imagined the scene and couldn't help but suggest to Dean: "Why don't you ask Mira first? Maybe she would agree directly without Her Majesty the Princess taking action?"

"After all, you have to try something before you know the result."

You have to try everything before you know the result. Dean naturally knew this, but he didn’t directly propose to go to Mira. Naturally, he had his own concerns. “If she doesn’t want to, I will rashly propose to sign a confidentiality contract.

Doesn't it mean that I have a guilty conscience and gave away a clue in vain?"

Ryan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a dead end for smart people. When the time comes, you can just find an ordinary device to get past it. The confidentiality contract can be explained as a personal habit you have developed in order not to leak business secrets. Even the magician

If you don’t believe it, there is no reason to seek verification.”
