Chapter 332 The end (4)
Danica took it over and looked at it, and said, "What do you want me to do?" In fact, Danica did not expect Vigs to be so refreshed. She had been wanting to get this design drawing for a long time, and judging from her previous negotiations with Aphro, this thing is quite important and not so easy to get. Although Danica expressed her meaning through Elizabeth, she did not expect that Vigs would be brought directly after the first negotiation. Now Danica has a little understanding of why Aphro failed in the political struggle of the Tulip Kingdom. Aphro is somewhat idealistic, but the Vigs in front of her is different. He is a complete political creature, and everything can be traded as long as it can be exchanged for benefits.
Vigs sighed slightly and said, "I hope you can help me teach my naughty sister a lesson. She is so ignorant."
Viggs' request made Danica hesitate a little.
From this point of view, we can see that Danica is a greedy person. Although she got something she wanted from Vigs, she was a little hesitant to let her abandon Aphro immediately. Of course, it is not that her relationship with Aphro is so good. But Aphro, who is in a low point, is really a good dealer. As long as she can give her some irrelevant support, she can get a lot of benefits from her.
After thinking for a while, Danica said in a slow tone: "You are making things difficult for me, although Aphro is not as refreshing as you." Danica picked up the drawing and gestured: "But she is still my old friend, and it is difficult to betray her friend like this."
Danica's words were all guilty, but Vigs's performance made her realize the shamelessness of political creatures. This guy seemed to be moved by the deep friendship between Danica and Aphro. The expression on his face was very complicated, with both the loss that could not be achieved by the plan, and the joy that his sister had such a friend who "cared about" her.
"This is really a pity." Viggs said with emotion.
But Danica didn't plan to send out the things she had already obtained. She thought for a while and said, "But you are her brother. I don't have much to say about the matter between you. I think there may be some misunderstandings. Let's do this. I'll ask Aphro to come over and give you a chance to chat alone."
Viggs glanced at Danica, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Okay, thank you Miss Fengyu." Danica meant that she didn't plan to take action, but she could create an opportunity to trick Aphro over and let Viggs take action. She would ignore whether to catch or kill at that time.
Although the expected result was not achieved, it was good to have such a gain. Vigs agreed readily, and discussed the details of the plan with Danica and left.
After Viggs left, Danica remained in the small living room. After a while, Elizabeth knocked in the door and sat down and asked, "What, how are you discussing?"
Danica shook her head with a wry smile, and did not answer her question, but said, "I found that our previous view of Vigs was somewhat biased. This is not an indecisive and indecisive person. Aphro is really miserable now."
"How do you say this?"
"Because I heard this influence on Vigs from Aphro. In her eyes, her brother was such a waste, but now it seems that she is the guy whose eyes are blinded and fooled."
"Aphro..." Elizabeth leaned on the sofa, "I remember she had contacted me before and expressed some intentions for cooperation."
Danica was a little surprised, but then she thought, it was normal. Although she said that she would introduce Elizabeth to Aphro, the transaction between the two parties was not reached, so the promise was naturally invalid. Unexpectedly, Aphro came to Elizabeth by herself.
"You refused?" Danica asked.
Elizabeth nodded and said, "Although it seems a bit cold-blooded, I have to say that Aphro does not have the capital to trade now. After all, she is a... political loser now, and she does not recognize her current situation." Elizabeth said cold-bloodedly, but this is the fact that Aphro is no longer the energetic princess who was in the Bunos Magic Academy before.
Speaking of this, Elizabeth was still very moved: "I don't know when, maybe it was from our generation that the princes and princesses had a hard time. Political struggles and power struggles have become extremely bloody, all aiming to completely kill their opponents without leaving any affection. If Aphro had failed in the past, she could live a life of not being free with the royal blood flowing on her body, but she was quite stable. But now, she didn't even dare to go back to the Tulip Kingdom, and she would die if she went back... Of course, she would probably die if she didn't go back."
Danica would not mention Aphro for no reason. It is probably because she and Vigs discussed the princess. From the perspective of Vigs' interests, it would be a great pleasure to have Aphro left this world. And Elizabeth couldn't think of a reason why Danica would show mercy to Aphro, just because they are old classmates? Danica would never care about what classmates learned differently. Elizabeth can be sure of this. Under the joint calculations of Danica and Vigs, Aphro might really be in trouble this time.
But what does this have to do with myself? So Elizabeth just sighed and changed to a more relaxed topic: "It's already noon, should I have dinner here?"
Danica was not very polite. She thought for a while and nodded and said, "Okay, but Ai Xue will let her go back, she is very busy."
Elizabeth teased: "Why do you keep carrying her with you when you know she's very busy? Do you really use her as a maid?"
Danica smiled and said, "She was my maid!"
After Elizabeth left, Danica stayed in the small living room to rest, and she called Ai Xue over.
"You go back first, I'll have dinner here at noon today." Danica picked up the drawing materials on the coffee table and handed them over. "In addition, arrange for the craftsmen to determine the authenticity of this materials as soon as possible. It would be better if one could be copied."
Ai Xue took it and took a brief look at Danica. This was the design drawing of the military crossbow they had always wanted to get. She had hoped to get it from Aphro before, but it seemed that she failed. Unexpectedly, Danica successfully got it in the end.
Ai Xue put away the information and said, "Okay, I will arrange for them to imitate one as soon as possible."
Danica ordered: "Be careful to block the news." Then she waved her hand and asked Ai Xue to go back first.
Danica was warmly entertained by Elizabeth this time, and the table was filled with exquisite dishes, many of which Danica had never seen or even heard of.
Although Danica was a little surprised that Elizabeth had prepared so many dishes, her life was not a luxury. No matter what, the Saint of the Holy See of the Church of Light was a very noble identity. It was not an exaggeration to treat herself kindly in daily life.
Danica and Elizabeth are probably the best personal relationship magicians and priests in the world. After dinner, the two also had some discussions on the relationship between magic and magic and similar places. This chat lasted for an afternoon, and Danica also ate supper at the Saint Church. When she returned to the villa of the Aishue Chamber of Commerce, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
After Danica came back, she found that Phyllis had also come. Although she could be seen from the corners of her eyebrows, she was in good spirits.
Seeing Danica, Phyllis said happily: "Lucia has agreed to withdraw from this trial."
"That's great." Danica said. Although it was expected, Lucya's withdrawal was too important to the entire situation in Kenster. It is worth congratulations to be able to complete this step smoothly.
Phyllis sat back on the sofa and said, "Lucia has done it, and the only one left with some weight is True."
Danica sat on the sofa next to her and said, "But True, who is left with only one person, is really hard to support and can't hold on for long. How are you planning to solve the problem of True and Brock? Is it through negotiation or violent coercion?"
Phyllis hesitated for a moment and said, "It is best to be able to negotiate and resolve it. Once the war begins, it will have a great impact on Kenster. Didn't you say you wanted to build your own kingdom here based on this city? I can't smash it to pieces!"
Next, Phyllis began to negotiate with Trudeau again. Although among all the people who came to participate in the trial, Trudeau was a relatively honest guy. He was disdainful, or not good at using conspiracies, and was straightforward at the negotiating table. This kind of personality often means he was stubborn and would not easily shake his judgment.
Originally, Philis thought Trudeau would be easy to handle, but unexpectedly, the two sides had completely different views on this matter. In short, Philis fell into a long and arduous negotiation again.
A few days later, Danica got the military crossbow copied from Ai Xue based on the drawing information.
Danica was in a very good mood while playing with this simple and powerful crossbow arrow in her hand.
On the battlefield, long-range support is a very effective way, whether it is to cover one's own attack or disrupt the opponent's formation, it is very useful. However, it is too troublesome to cultivate an archer. It is not possible to use a long bow if you find someone. This requires good physical fitness and long-term practice to learn how to shoot arrows in your hand to a designated position on the battlefield. Even so, an excellent archer can only shoot three to five rounds of arrows, and needs to rest and restore arm strength.
In comparison, crossbows are very simple to use. Even if you are a pure novice, you can master the same thing in more than ten days. In addition, the arrows shot by the crossbow mainly consume springs and crossbow strings, which does not consume much energy to the operator. This means that a person or a group can shoot several rounds of arrows in a short period of time.
The only troublesome thing is that the crossbow production process is relatively complex, especially the crossbow machine, which requires profound mechanical knowledge. Some special components also require special materials and special craftsmanship. For example, the small spring is also very troublesome to make even the previous Aishi Chamber of Commerce. As of now, only the Dwarf Kingdom and the Tulip Kingdom in the entire Katic Continent have large-scale loading crossbows, but now the Aishi Chamber of Commerce needs to be added.
Ai Xue explained from the side: "The drawing information is real, and this is what we copied based on the information."
Danica put a crossbow arrow in and asked, "What production can be achieved?"
Ai Xue said: "Some parts need to be made by experienced masters. If you have all your strength, you can make about fifty pieces in a month." After that, Ai Xue looked at Danica carefully, not knowing whether her answer met her requirements.
Danica had no special expression on her face, but just nodded and said, "Okay, but don't rush to make large-scale productions. Let your craftsmen study it carefully and understand this technology thoroughly. It would be better if they could improve it on this basis."
"Yes, master." After hesitating, Ai Xue said, "There is another thing. According to the information we have obtained, this is actually a medium-sized crossbow. In the army of the Tulip Kingdom, it is equipped with small crossbows, medium-sized crossbows and heavy crossbows. That information is only about medium-sized crossbows."
Danica frowned slightly and asked, "What is the effective killing distance of this crossbow?"
Ai Xue replied: "According to our actual tests, it is about 200 meters, and the one that can kill the enemy from a long distance on the battlefield is actually a heavy crossbow."
Danica put the crossbow in her hand on the table and asked, "Can our craftsmen develop heavy crossbows based on that information?"
"It's OK in theory," Ai Xue replied, "but it will take a long time to try."
"for how long?"
"Maybe..." Ai Xue felt like she was about to sweat, "It might take a few years."
"What's the difference between that and the impossible?" Danica said with a blank look at her, "I remember we had a piece in the Black Iron Mercenary Group in Duru?"
"Yes, we helped him pay off his gambling debts, and he will listen to us." Ai Xue said, because the person who lied to him to go bet was the person she arranged, and his creditor was also from Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce.
