"However, ten rune trains are still far from being enough to solve the fundamental problems of the Empire." Solomon smiled and said, "You should know our sincerity. If the Stuart clan can make some changes to the amount of this order, then not only will we win Solomon's respect, I believe that the entire Empire will also be grateful to the Stuart clan's generosity and enthusiasm."
Solomon emphasized the importance of the Stuart clan's words. The Federation was under the checks and balances of the great clans. If they were able to obtain a strong external aid, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for the Stuart clan.
Carolyn smiled. Such a technique wasn't enough to confuse her. "The clan attaches great importance to the friendship between the Kaiser Empire and Your Highness Solomon. However, you should also know that the Federation is extremely strict in this area. In fact, this is only the first step. If everything goes smoothly, I believe that with the delivery of the rune trains, we will definitely be able to dispel the barrier in the hearts of many people. A good beginning is half the battle. As we continue to deepen our cooperation, I believe that the rune train tracks will soon cover the entire Empire."
When Solomon talked about his feelings, Carolyn painted a big picture for him.
Brilliant smiles appeared on both of their faces. They seemed to be extremely satisfied, but they didn't seem to have achieved their goals. In fact, the Stuart clan also had their own demands. Although the entire project had been taken over by the clan, it was still under the supervision of the Federation. The exorbitant taxes meant that the clan's profits weren't as high as they had imagined. What they wanted was more control over the resources. A private transaction was definitely necessary, but both sides wanted to probe the other's standards.
"In fact, I'm more interested in the rune cannons. Today, when I saw the rune cannons that Miss Carolyn had arranged in the public square, it was truly too spectacular. At that time, I was thinking that the next time Miss Carolyn comes to the Empire, I would definitely feel regret if I didn't receive such a soul-stirring cannon blast." Solomon smiled as he looked at Carolyn. "I wonder if Miss Carolyn would be willing to part with your treasures and transfer those rune cannons to me? Naturally, the price will definitely not disappoint Miss Carolyn. "
"Your Highness Solomon." Carolyn had long since known that Solomon had ulterior motives. However, she had never expected that he would actually have designs on rune cannons. "Rune cannons are military weapons that are strictly regulated by the Federation. The Stuart Clan does not have the right to privately buy and sell them."
Solomon smiled, a brilliant smile. His handsome face displayed sufficient sincerity as he attentively looked at Carolyn. "Of course I understand. However, you're a smart person, so I'll get straight to the point. The Stuart Family and my family were friends in the old era. Therefore, in this negotiation, the Empire has been pushing for the Stuart Family to be the partner. Our Rothschild Family has always been grateful. You shouldn't doubt this, right?"
From the old era to the new era, regardless of success or failure, the reputation of the Rothschild family had never changed. This integrity was extremely valuable.
Clearly, at this point, even if Carolyn were to find excuses, the other party would not continue to pester her. However, their friendship would be greatly reduced. It was a small world, and there would always come a time when they would need each other's help. It was just that rune cannons were strictly controlled. Although they were not at the level of the nuclear weapons of the old era, they still could not be used.
Of course, if the Stuart Family was able to accomplish this, they would definitely owe the Rothschild Family a gargantuan favor, not to mention the benefits they would reap.
As for the cannon salute, everyone knew that it was a lie. There was no need to make it clear.
Carolyn remained silent. Solomon waited patiently by the side, a faint smile on his face. Finally, Carolyn revealed a trace of a smile. "Your Highness Solomon, the Stuart Family has felt your sincerity. We greatly value the friendship between you and the Rothschild Family. I will bring this matter up to the Elder Society. I believe that there is a solution to any problem. As long as your sincerity is sufficient, you will have to stay for a few more days."
The Stuart Family had also placed great importance on the collaboration with Kaiser. The competition between the five great families of the Federation was extremely intense. For example, the opportunity to sell the rune train to Kaiser. All five great families had the strength to cooperate, but the Stuart Family was still able to emerge victorious. It was no coincidence that they had obtained the right to cooperate.
As the tectonic plates of the continent shifted, communication became more frequent. Cooperation and competition were inevitable, and the Stuart Family had to take the lead.
A qualified politician would never confirm a matter with a hundred percent certainty. When Carolyn said this, Solomon knew that the matter had already been settled. "Regardless of whether we succeed or not, I am grateful for Miss Carolyn's enthusiasm and friendship. To tell the truth, when I first met you, I was shocked by your beauty. But now, I know that your wisdom is even more shocking than your beauty."
Carolyn gave a sweet smile. Beauties didn't like others praising them for their beauty. This was especially true for girls like Carolyn.
It had to be said that Solomon was an experienced driver. The first round of negotiations between the two parties had already reached their initial goal.
Suddenly, Carolyn changed the topic. "The Kaiser Empire was founded on martial prowess. I presume that Your Highness Solomon is an expert amongst experts. Carolyn has recently learned a few sword techniques. I wonder if Your Highness would be interested in exchanging pointers?"
"The Stuart Family. The name of the Federation's number one swordsman. Solomon has often heard of it, even in the distant seas. It's just that you might have misunderstood. I personally don't like martial prowess." Solomon said awkwardly. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a smiling boy next door walked over.
Solomon smiled and said, "Enoch is my personal guard who is most proficient in close combat. If Miss Carolyn is interested, could you help me give him some pointers? "
What kind of status did Carolyn have? She had personally challenged Solomon. Not only did Solomon not accept the challenge, but he had actually sent a follower to accept the challenge. Instantly, many of the followers on Solomon's side revealed unhappy expressions.
Carolyn didn't say anything. Instead, a middle-aged man stood out and said, "Although I'm not the strongest subordinate of the eldest miss, I have long heard of the Empire's fame. I would like to exchange pointers with you!"
Carolyn had only wanted to probe the Empire's strength. Although it was regretful that Solomon wasn't willing to fight, she could see the strength of his elite personal guard.
At this moment, she nodded her head.
The attendants of both sides quickly spread out, making a large space for the two of them.
Darwin Arden, a member of Carolyn's personal guard, was a heavy soldier. The heavy metal armour on his body rubbed against each other, causing clanking sounds to ring out. In his hand was an extremely large heavy sword that was 1.6 meters long. He held it horizontally in front of his chest, effortlessly. As an elite who had experienced blood and fire, just by standing there, he gave off an aura as stable as a mountain. He was like an impenetrable copper wall!
Opposite him was a silver-haired … child. He wore very thin casual clothes, with a thin sword hanging from his waist. It looked just like a long and thin toothpick. His small and skinny body stood there, appearing as though a gust of wind could blow him over. At this moment, there was a faint smile on his face.
