Chapter 392 Ariel's Growth
If Amber Xiu came, he would definitely look at Ariel with new eyes.
In such a short time, Ariel has learned to bargain? Before, she was just a barbarian who could only swing a hammer.
Sure enough, only experience can make people grow.
Hastings was not in a hurry. He kept smiling and said to Ariel, "The Kingdom of Raging Tide is invincible on the sea, so of course they don't need these, but others do, don't they? For example, these Ryan people, I believe they will need this kind of airship very much."
Ariel stared at Hastings, her hand on the hammer, and the flickering lightning began to spread to her arm.
"You mean to sell your equipment to my enemies?" Ariel threatened, "Do you know what the result will be?"
Hastings also said without showing any weakness: "Your Highness, my master is a businessman. There is no reason not to make money. I am just a slave created by him. There is no point in you being angry with me. Perhaps your hammer can smash me to pieces and destroy the Black Tide. But if so, you will have to face the wrath of my master.
"You have seen what happened to the Githyanki. Princess, have you decided to fight against my master on behalf of the Kingdom of Raging Tide?"
When Amber was fighting the Githyanki, Hastings was visiting the Kingdom of Wrath of Tides. He simply took out the magic mirror and put on a good show for all the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Wrath of Tides.
When the meteors fell from the sky, the angry people who called themselves Sons of the Storm changed their expressions.
If such a meteor shower fell on the fleet of the Angry Tide Kingdom, I'm afraid they would not be able to stop it.
Thinking of the terrible meteor shower, the lightning on Ariel's body quickly subsided, and a faint smile appeared on her cold face.
"Haha, I'm just kidding. In a storm, only warriors can fight for a glimmer of hope. Your courage deserves my respect, and I think the Lord of Storms will also recognize your bravery. In this case, why don't we go back and talk slowly? This is a big business, and we have to let the person who manages the wealth come to talk to you."
Hasting breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said with a smile, "Of course, it is my greatest honor to be recognized by Her Royal Highness the Princess. It's a pity that my brother is not here. He is better at telling jokes to lighten the mood.
"My words are not polite enough, Your Highness. Please don't mind. My tone was not good just now. I will pay out of my own pocket to give Your Highness a buy ten get one free offer. And whether the transaction is successful or not, Your Highness will be given two magic mirrors for free. What do you think?"
It's no wonder that Hastings gave in. The princess in front of him was a legend. When he first came to the Kingdom of Angry Tides, he saw Ariel leading a team to hunt sea monsters at sea.
The lightning that erupted from the hammer could blow up the Kuroshio.
If Ariel had been a little more impulsive, Hastings would have died here, because he didn't have the life box to be reborn.
However, Hastings strength is not good, but his background is not ordinary. The name of the lich master is much more important than the Black Tide, forcing the Princess of the Angry Tide to give in.
Hastings naturally showed his goodwill immediately, since he had been planning to give the magic mirror away for free, and Ambersau had offered him a minimum price of 70% off the selling price. When Hastings made his offer, he doubled the price.
Now if you offer a buy ten get one free offer, you can still complete the master's order.
Ariel seemed very satisfied with Hastings attitude and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."
The Kuroshio flew towards the Kingdom of Angry Tide, and Ariel returned to her cold appearance, as if she was a statue carved out of an iceberg.
Only Ariel herself knew that she was trying her best to endure it.
According to Ariel's character, the hammer would have hit Hastings on the head when he threatened her.
Ariel has never been good at arguing with people with words, she only likes to use a hammer to make her point.
But now she is the only one in the Kingdom of Rage who can do this. If she can't control her anger, the kingdom will be completely doomed.
Ariel reached out and hooked out a necklace. A small crystal pendant hung on the rough iron wire. Inside was a pile of ashes, the ashes of the man who worked so hard for the kingdom and finally turned into ashes.
Ariel cursed angrily in her heart: "Damn you Monger! You said you would come back! Come back soon, only you can handle this kind of thing, I'm going crazy! If you don't come back, I will smash your head!"
After venting her anger for a while, Ariel kept the ashes close to her body again.
The world is about to fall into chaos, the Kingdom of Fury must be prepared, and Ariel must prepare for the kingdom.
The Black Tide slowly landed in front of the imperial palace. Every time such a behemoth appeared, it always made the people of the Angry Tide Kingdom marvel.
Ariel returned to the palace safely, while Hastings waited in the Black Tide for the negotiation expert from the Angry Tide Kingdom to come and talk to him about business.
As soon as Ariel came back, the old king couldn't wait to greet her and asked, "How is it? Did those Ryan people really go out to sea?!"
Ariel nodded and handed the memory crystals to the old king.
After the old man finished reading the memory crystal, he burst into laughter and said, "Bless Talos, these landlubbers dare to go out to sea like this? Ariel, the time for revenge has come. The Lord of Storms will be very satisfied with this sacrifice."
Not only is the ship slow, but the tactics are also ridiculous.
In other words, the pirates were not very capable, so they were bullied by the Ryan people. If they encountered the fleet of the Kingdom of Fury, these Ryan people would definitely suffer heavy losses.
However, Ariel shook her head and said, "No, father, we shouldn't just attack them. Don't you realize that they have too many legends?"
"Legend?" The old king really didn't pay attention to this.
Ariel, however, listed them all: "Glorious General Cyril Roland, Shield of Glory Lucas, Hammer of Justice Tariq. These three are famous paladins in Lion. If these three join forces, we are no match for them."
The old king said excitedly: "We are at sea! Storms and raging tides are our allies. No matter how good a landlubber is, he will just be a sunfish if he falls into the water!"
Ariel continued to explain: "How are you going to make them fall into the water? Father, didn't you look carefully? The ship is full of Ryan soldiers. This number has already filled the cabin space, which means that their supplies are transported every day using the teleportation array. Do you think their teleportation array will send them back to land if they encounter danger?
"How much manpower will it take to force them into danger? In the process, how many soldiers of the Kingdom of Fury can these legendary paladins kill? Father, it is totally not worth it for us to sacrifice our lives in exchange for their escape back to the land!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Using a teleportation array to transport supplies?" The old king widened his eyes. The cost would be terrifying.
Any teleportation array requires a large amount of magic gems and various materials to build. It will be damaged every time it is used, and it needs a dedicated wizard to maintain it and continuously invest resources in repairs.
It is certainly convenient to transport logistics in this way, but the cost is enough to overwhelm the entire Kingdom of Rage.
This Ryan guy is really rich.
I was so busy watching the ugly behavior of the Ryan people that I didn't notice these details at all. It was my daughter who was careful enough to notice this.
"Then what do you say we should do? We can't just watch our enemies walk around like this."
Ariel shook her head and said, "A meaningless impulse will only lead to equally meaningless sacrifices. Father, my suggestion is to drive those pirates away to cause trouble for the Ryan people and try to consume their spirits. At the same time, try to lead them into the Thunder Sea and let the monsters inside deal with the Ryan people."
The Thunder Sea is a sea area surrounded by storms all year round. It is home to a large number of mutated sea monsters, including some super-large sea monsters of legendary rank, which are enough to cause great losses to these Ryan people.
The old king wanted to say that such revenge was a bit painless. If the Ryans had not entered the Thunder Sea, how much impact could the pirates have on them? But looking at his daughter's slightly haggard face, the old king could only sigh and say, "Okay, I'll do as you wish. Ariel, take a rest when you have time. You've been too tired recently."
Ariel shook her head and said, "I've been too busy lately. The lich's messenger is still waiting for our reply. I've seen the power of the Black Tide. It far exceeds all our warships. It's a powerful weapon that will change the form of war. We must find a way to seize this opportunity, even if we can't afford the price."
Ariel left the palace tiredly. She still had to talk to the Minister of Finance to see how much gold coins the Kingdom of Rage could come up with.
The old king looked at Ariel's back and shook his head and sighed.
Ever since Ariel went to the Green Dream Forest, she has become a different person. Before, her personality was like thunder, noisy but happy every day. Now Ariel has become more serious and thoughtful.
Ariel began to dig up many messy things inside the kingdom. Although she could not find a solution immediately, at least the problems were exposed, and the kingdom had a chance to change for the better.
And Talos, the Lord of Storms, blessed Ariel for the first time, allowing her to obtain a magical artifact, which was the hammer hanging on her waist.
It is certainly a good thing to receive the blessing of the gods, but the old king thinks that his daughter has worked too hard. Unfortunately, there is really no talent in the Kingdom of Wrath of Tide who can share these with Ariel. If only Mung Grey River were still alive, he felt at first sight that this guy was suitable to be his son-in-law.
If only there were smart people to help Ariel do these chores, and Ariel only had to maintain the power of thunder, how happy life would be.
"How about finding her another husband? I don't believe that Munger Gray River is the only smart man in the world.
The old king knelt before the statue of the Lord of Storms and prayed devoutly, "Please bless Talos, may your thunder become a messenger and your storm become a ferry to lead the right wise man to Ariel!"
