What?
You agree again?
Are you sure you didn't take the wrong medicine?
If you play like this, how can I get the Heart of the King?
"You misunderstood. I don't want to marry your sister. I want to find a wife for one of my men. His name is Achilles, a very strong man. With a light slap, he can kill a cow!" Xia Zhe hurriedly continued.
I think I understand now. You think it's a good match for your sister to marry me and become my concubine.
Well then, I'll be ruthless!
I want your sister to marry one of my men. She can only be an ordinary wife, not a princess.
And, I also want you to know that she's going to marry a rough guy! A very violent one!
This time, you should refuse, right?
Not marrying King Stoby?
Was it the king's arrangement that she marry Achilles?
Hector hesitated for only a second, then immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Achilles, Hector is so familiar!
Although he prided himself on being a good warrior and the best of Troy, he was still far behind Achilles.
In addition, when they were in Thasos, the two had already become best friends.
Hector fully approves of Achilles!
In fact, Hector had long wanted to bring his sister and Achilles together.
In Hector's heart, this is definitely the best destination for his sister!
However, Achilles suffered because his sister was a princess of the royal family. No matter how powerful he was, he was still just a general. There was a slight gap in their status.
That's why Hector never dared to mention this matter to his father.
It's ok now!
King Stobi proposed this as a condition of exchange, and his father had to agree to it even if he didn't agree!
Although I don’t know what King Stobi’s purpose is, I must quickly agree to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever!
Oh my god!
You agree again?
Are you still smiling so happily like a fool?
If you play like this, can I add more chips? Do you want the heart of the king?
Xia Zhe was extremely upset at this moment!
If I had known that the eldest prince was a fool, I should have asked for the King's Heart from the beginning!
Now he's agreed to all my terms. Would it be too unfair for me to raise the stakes?
Don’t let the talks fall apart!
"Let's settle it! Troy doesn't ask for much, just three Greek fires. We can just send our own ships to deliver them. I can also give you a complete set of three-section sailing warship designs, as well as a hundred veteran craftsmen with years of experience in shipbuilding! This will give you the foundation for building a navy!"
Seeing that King Stobi was beginning to be dazed, Hector hurriedly threw out the real chips he had prepared long ago, hoping to make King Stobi more satisfied.
The blueprints of the large ocean ships and the craftsmen were actually the terms of exchange that Hector originally wanted to propose.
At this point, he felt that most of the things had been discussed, so he didn't mind adding a little more.
Anyway, since we have already ceded the territory, this little extra is nothing.
As long as we get the Greek fire, everything will be worth it.
"Oh! What I discussed before were the conditions for replacing one Greek fire! Not three! If you want three, you have to give me something extra, right?" Xia Zhe said.
No matter how dishonest or unfaithful he is, Xia Zhe will never do anything to break his promise.
The negotiations are nearing their end. If you don’t state your real demands now, it will be too late!
In desperation, Xia Zhe had to seize the loopholes in the other party's words and make a final attempt.
"Was the previous condition just for one Greek Fire? I wonder what additional conditions the king would add if he exchanged for three?"
Hector was stunned and had no choice but to ask.
Hector knew that buying only one Greek Fire was a bit risky.
If it was accidentally bumped on the road, or if the Trojan craftsmen were unable to restore it after it disintegrated, the plan to build Greek fire on a large scale to strengthen coastal defense would fail!
But King Stoby is so difficult to deal with, the conditions for selling the three machines must be very high.
What if the chips that are opened are something that I simply cannot accept?
Then I can only take the risk and buy one!
"There's not much else to add, just the King's Heart that you enshrine in the temple! If you're willing to add this, I'll give you three! I'll even send someone to install and debug them for you free of charge!"
Xia Zhe gritted his teeth and said what he really thought, his heart suddenly beating violently.
Please don't walk away in anger!
The heart of a king?
Is it the blue gem enshrined in the temple?
It turns out that King Stoby likes to collect rare treasures!
Hearing that this final condition was so simple, Hector felt relieved and quickly nodded in agreement.
It was just a gem. To Hector, such material possessions were not worth mentioning at all.
Troy is located in the easternmost part of the Greek world, and they have long forgotten many ancient legends.
The royal family and the priests in the temple regarded the Heart of the King as just an ordinary precious gem.
If King Stoby wants it, take it.
In Hector's mind, even if he wanted ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times more of these jewels, they would still not be as valuable as an inch of territory!
Even a large piece of territory was ceded, what does a gem have to do with it?
"You agree again? Great! Deal!"
Xia Zhe was overjoyed that Hector agreed so easily.
He immediately had Lillian write a treaty and have both parties sign it. He also told them not to spread the matter of the King's Heart. Only then did he happily send Hector away.
