They could here murmurings between the envoyes but first to react where the bright envoye under the urging of the Santini envoyé they said :' we accept All off your conditions and we would like to buy this paper and any other product you have available '.
Not wanting to be left behind the acosta they also said:' we too accept you conditions and all that left is to finalise the quantity to be bought'.
Seemingly happy and anticipating this Jean said :' we will be happy to discuss this on detail after the harvest and will be selled equally between you as for iron ore we don't have excess now but we can sell to you finished products of iron sword,iron spears and shields and finally for paper that will depend on the need of each Barrony and will be discussed alone'.
Taking his breath:' tomorrow we will meet to discuss in detail the quantity and prices is that okay'.
They nodded in agreement.
Then Damien stood and said:'you are allé invited it dinner we are having to welcome you'.
They all said :' we will be their my lord'.
Then they excused themselves and went to their quarters reserved for them.
As Damien and Jean where left alone they started talking.
Damien :' asked do you have in estimation over the profit we can make'.
Jean:' if we go by previous years numbers we will make around five hundreds from the sell of wheat give or take as for the weapons that will depend on the order they place as for paper that In my opinion is like printing money and as the craftsman perfect their production it will cost even less than wish is 5 coin per stack '.
Damien then said :' I am confident in Mathias will have the weapon mill ready while the weapons maybe substandard at first and not in grand quantities our neighbours need anyway to arm their levy since we will be selling those arms on the cheap side'.
Jean:' I think your reasoning is right my lord and all that left is for Matthias to deliver and the trade orders to be made if you need nothing my lord I will excuse myself to draft those trade agreement plus a non-agression pacte for the trade caravans to be lawfully biding to all the lords'.
Damien :' you can leave and thank you for work chamberlain '.
Jean was extatique when he heard the word or more precisely when he didn't a word acting and answered:' thank you my lord is my obligation to serve wholeheartedly '.
He bowed and left leaving Damien alone in the chambre with Crowley who said :' wise decision my lord'.
Damien looked at him and said :' he is deligent,hard working and it's like we have another candidate while you have more other matters I want you be in charge with specially after you find those candidates I asked you for'.
Hearing Crowley was pleased:' I am working on it I have found some candidate I am just waiting for vetting them a little to make sure they're no spies '.
He heard:' it's no problem take your time as for now I will go to meet with akanay to discuss with him new project and cultivate and don't forget those magic books 📚 try to procure no matter what '.
Damien stood and walked away and the butler bowed and left to complete his chores.
...
Grand-duchy of the Pendragon.
In a hidden valley knowen only to high echelon of the grand-duchy as the valley of dragons it was forbidden for anyone to venture here without authorisation and anyone who did will be excited no matter what.
Inside two silhouette could be seen one belonged to a man three metre tall broad shoulders and developed limbs narrow waist, and powerful legs he was wearing magnificent silver armour made from star metal a rare family heirloom reversed only for ancestors level clans characters or patriarch this knowing this the grand-duke is no surprise and next to him a huge body of a dozen of meters maybe even a hundred metre with yellow vertical eyes two pointy horns from his head ,four strong limbs covered in white scales with claws that appeared to be so sharp they could easily destroy a building not just decapitate a man,a few metres long wings this is his contracted dragon companion.
The white dragon started talking:' it's been hundred of years since I saw like this it was when that redhead wizard lass said she loved and left hhhhh'.
Remembering that moment the grand-duke turned red blushing a rare sight for someone known for his cold personality even towards some of his clan members started talking:' ehh it always like this with you reminding me of things I want to forget and she is no longer a lass she the headmistress of the eternal fire 🔥 college '.
Answering him with a sneer:' I like how you look when I remind you hhh but returning to important things how is the situation in your family '.
With a sight he said:' where to start I exiled my grandson to a frontier barrony and cut every relationship he has with the family I made look like those elders pressured me but in reality it was what his father wanted for him since he couldn't cultivate or meditate and he is under the guidance and protection of Crowley he will be safe second my son and his dragon companion kruosa are still missing but his life lamp 🪔 is not extinguished so they are falling in space vortex or went some ancient tombe or ruins or heritage hopefully third every lineage in the family trying to gain ana advantage against the others for the next heir patriarch vote'.
The dragon showed no surprise:'you humans are full of scheming for unreasonable or stupid reason but let's talk about really important when are we gonna invade that demi-plane you found his coordinates the young ones in my clan are penniless and I promised they can make a fortune partner with your knights '.
With a determined look he answered:' soon enough in few years after stabilising the family and making our rear is secure I don't want to go invade just to return to find my land ravaged by some crazy sect followers or some rival clan as for your young ones I will donate some treasures as an advance payment of the future work'.
Hearing this the dragon eyes where full of greed:' me too I want an advance payment my coffers are almost empty '.
He rolled his eyes to him and said:in you dreams old friend hahaha'.
And he left.
........
After he discussed with akanay the kind of substance he wanted him to try to create but this time he has no formula just he is made from merging different kind of acide and he is called nitroglycerine and then use it to make dynamite 🧨.
After he went to his room to cultivate with a mind to train his shadow and blood spells as for necromancy he think he will train tomorrow when he go hunting after visiting Mathias to see the weapons and Armor mills he instructed him to build with helps of the dwarves leveraging their experience in building and blacksmithing as every dwarf is a naturel builder and blacksmith at birth.
