Ariel opened a document in front of her, flipped it open, looked at the notes she had made in it, and continued: "If tariffs are exempted, are you willing to go further and purchase goods from the Blue Bay Empire? Our fish catch and

Various aquatic products and processed products. If you are willing to increase the purchase volume, then of course we can also persuade the Emperor to reduce taxes."

Obviously, it is impossible to impress the other party with just such conditions.

Without waiting for the other person to speak, Ariel continued: "In addition, regarding the issue of freezing the port that you are most concerned about. As I said just now, the essential reason is economic issues. Then, we also said that one of us can sign a

A tripartite purchasing agreement.”

Bureaucrat Willy frowned: "How do you say that?"

Ariel nodded and continued: "It's very simple. You want an ice-free port just to sell the goods? Then, you just need to come to our Blue Bay Empire with the contract with the buyer, and then you can sell the goods

Ship it to the border between us. We will help you transport it to the port for the rest of the journey, and then our Blue Bay Empire will help you send it out through customs. We only charge a small service fee for the entire process."

“In this way, you can reduce a large amount of transportation costs and the extra shipping costs due to unfamiliarity and unfamiliarity. Your buyers can also handle shipping-related matters through our Blue Bay Empire, a more professional seaport operation intermediary.

incident. During this whole process, our Blue Bay Empire can also get a small service fee. Obviously, this is something that all three of us can profit from, isn’t it good?”

Bureaucrat Willy: "That's nice to say. I'm afraid your service fee is quite high, right?"

Ariel thought for a while and then said slowly: "We can provide a detailed list of transportation costs, and you can also investigate. If there are any unreasonable high prices, you can come to us to settle the account. After removing the costs, we can increase the price.

About ten percent of the cost. Believe me, if you want to maintain the trade channel you got from us, the amount you need to spend is far more than this number."

Obviously, the plan proposed by Ariel is indeed a proposal that is beneficial to both parties.

The bureaucrats over there were obviously a little surprised by this proposal. At the same time, they all turned their heads and looked at the queen sitting on the main seat.

Her Majesty the Queen did not seem to expect that there would be a real person coming to "talk business" among the envoys. As a Queen, she needs to control her own territory and the hearts of the people here. If she can

If you can get the benefits you originally wanted at a lower cost, then this method is certainly worth a try.

On the dark and windy platform, the queen frowned and thought carefully.

Just when she finished thinking and opened her mouth to speak...

"Ouch~~~Three-party contract? Intermediary? This sister from Blue Bay really plays her cards well~~~"

This voice?

Although Ariel was sure that she definitely knew this woman's voice, this voice now sounded like a complete stranger!

At that moment, everyone present immediately turned their heads and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

I saw a girl whose clothes looked baggy, as if they were about to fall off at any time. She was leaning on the bard's arm, and the two of them were walking slowly towards this side as if they were very familiar with each other.

As for the elf, although he looked a little embarrassed now, he did not show much disgust towards the intimate actions of the girl next to him. He only showed a slight hint of disgust when he saw the eyes of Ariel and others looking at him.

of embarrassment.

She just walked over slowly this way.

As she walked, her eyes swept over everyone present.

Inadvertently, a red tail with a little white hair on the tip came out from behind her, trembling and swaying as she walked. It made her look even more charming, as if her eyes were all it took.

She can make any man who meets her eyes fall in love.

Unfortunately, Ariel is not a man.

"A simple contract seems to be beneficial to both of us. For our Orion Empire, it can directly expand trade routes and obtain new economic income. Then what~~~"

When they arrived at the center of the platform, Sevia let go of Egg's hand, walked slowly to the queen's side, turned around next to her seat, and slowly saluted the queen.

After the queen saw the prime minister's wife coming here, her face became obviously much refreshed. She nodded slightly to express her agreement.

Sevia smiled slightly and got up. She turned her hand back and gently hugged the red-tailed white-tipped tail on her back. While stroking the fur on it, she looked at the Blue Bay Mission with charming eyes and continued.

——

"You, the Blue Bay Empire, can also get an additional income. Both sides can make money, and the relationship between our two countries can also become better. We can even develop more cooperation projects and lay a solid foundation for more friendly relations in the future.

Base."

The prime minister's wife twisted her buttocks and let go of the tail in her hand. The tail seemed to swing behind her with great elasticity——

"It was said before that there are no practical people in the Blue Bay Empire. They are all lice that only think about living in that huge empire. They only know how to suck blood and do not consider that after the collapse of the empire, they will no longer have any blood left.

suck."

"But now it seems that your newly appointed Emperor is quite capable~~~ He actually started to really want to engage in economic development."

Apart from Ariel, the only one who had seen Sevia was Cream. Ariel turned slightly now and said softly to Clevia: "This person...is really Sevia...really."

Is she that elementary school girl from Tesla?"

The corner of Jilian's mouth also twitched. His eyes fell on Sevia's thighs exposed from under the skirt, and on the clothes that were almost slipping off her shoulders. He looked at her short little

The shirt revealed the white and smooth abdomen and navel, which showed an extremely healthy color under the surrounding firelight.

Seeing all this, even the assassin couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said fearfully: "She...she is indeed Sevia...but...why does it seem like she has completely changed?"

...? This is too scary...it's really too scary..."

On the other side, Yi Ge silently sat at the end of the Blue Bay envoy, next to the jelly. At this time, a Blue Bay official next to him immediately looked at him with resentment on his face and whispered: "How can you have sex with a woman from the enemy country?"

Come in together arm in arm?"

Being scolded like this, Egg was stunned. For a moment, he didn't seem to think of anything to say in response, so he could only lower his head. Then, he looked at Jelly next to him, but the boy kept his head lowered, looking like he didn't want to take care of anything.

He didn't dare to speak.

At this time, Ariel took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at the last member of the Origin Guild who had fully integrated into the "Red Fox" clan, and said slowly: "Listen to Ms. Red Fox's words, for our Blue Bay Empire this

The proposal seems very interesting."

Sevia chuckled and her eyes fell on Ariel's face.

At this moment, Ariel suddenly realized that this woman was observing herself. She...she seemed to be looking at something very interesting, looking at herself up and down!

"Ouch~~~Sister, of course I'm interested~~~The world is so big and there are so many things I'm interested in~~~"

After that, she left the side of the Queen's chair and walked towards the Hunter Hunter bureaucrats. Then she sat directly on Willy's table, not caring about the bureaucrat behind her whose expression had changed, and continued -

—

"But this sister, um... your name is Ariel, Ariel Garcia, right? Hehe, siren doll sister, can I call you that?"

Ariel's expression did not change much, because the Blue Bay bureaucrat next to him would not allow the other party to insult his main negotiator.

"Ma'am, please show some respect. What's more, with your current attitude, I really can't tell the level of your Orion Empire."

On the other side of the Hunter, Bureaucrat Willy quickly came around Sevia's butt, exposed his head, and said: "In our Hunter, there are a lot of orcs. Therefore, calling each other by the orc race is not a big deal.

What a discourteous thing!”

Although he said that, looking at Willy's expression, it is obvious that he is not very happy with Sevia's current performance. It is just due to camp issues, so now he must help Sevia smooth things over.

In response to this, Sevia chuckled, still sitting on the table with her legs crossed, and said with a smile on her face——

"So, Sister Mermaid, is it okay to call you this? Sister Mermaid, before we see such a wonderful business cooperation, I just want to ask one question."

As she spoke, she turned her palm towards Ariel, tapped Ariel slightly with her index finger, and said with a smile——

"If our cooperation is really so interesting and win-win, then why didn't the Blue Bay Empire want to cooperate with us before? Why did you wait until our army started attacking you before you thought about cooperating with us?

Woolen cloth?"

Before Ariel could speak, the woman from the red fox clan suddenly crossed her hands and said with a look of sudden realization——

"Oh~~~I understand. It turns out that it's because we didn't have a good relationship with each other before, so you don't want to make money with us? Then the problem comes again. Since we didn't have a good relationship before, our relationship now is very good.

? If it’s not very good..."

Sevia smiled sweetly, and this smile instantly made Ariel feel as if something wonderful was blooming in this world——

"Once you take hold of the diplomatic and trade artery of our Orion Empire, let it go for a few years, wait until we are deeply dependent on this trade route, and then threaten our country by cutting off the trade route, what do you think we will do?

Can the method deal with you?"

This question is actually not difficult to guess.

If the trade routes of landlocked countries want to develop, there is no doubt that they must pass through other countries. In this way, the number of trade routes is equal to the number of lifelines that are blocked.

When Ariel made this request, she had already thought that the other party would raise this issue, and at the same time, she also realized that the two sides were very likely to have a large-scale argument on this issue.

In fact, being able to debate this issue itself is Ariel's main plan.

There are now many conflicts between the two countries, and it is impossible to completely resolve them within a short period of time. This time the Blue Bay envoy came to the Hunter Empire, and based on the idea of ​​the emperor Menglang, they should ask the other party why they want to

Attack himself, and hope to achieve a short-term peace. However, the emperor himself may not be very sure about how to achieve it.

So to put it bluntly, this time the envoys are just here to watch.

Well, since both parties have a large number of old issues that need to be clarified, rather than spending a lot of time on these matters, it is better to shift the topic to issues on which consensus can be reached.

The trade issue is the issue listed by Ariel.

Now, the focus of negotiations between the two sides has shifted from the border dispute to trade issues. No matter how much conflict there is between the two sides on trade issues, since trade is involved, it is naturally about "money".

There may be individuals in this world who don't love money, but there will never be a country that doesn't love money.

Every country is worried about its own economic situation and hopes to find a way to generate income.
