Chapter 254
Minister Anin thought, ’It seems we will have to recognize them, tch, we could have gotten more concessions and benefits if we hadn’t lost this war or hadn’t started this operation in the first place . I will surely grind Murnet about this later on . ’
Thinking deeply, Minister Anin sighed and docilely spoke, "Minister Taylor, You are right, we do understand the consequences but everything has a solution . You see previously our men were under the impression that a foreign power has started invading our continent and hence this small operation to see their capabilities . We were informed only one day before the operation that Winter City and Aurora Island belonged to Lord John during the previously held auction . I had also sent immediately a voice message through our best sound stones to our Internal Minister, Murnet as well for this matter for which they had ordered to stop this operation keeping in mind our cooperation with Lord John but General Nokhud was out of range so we could only send the Order letter to retreat by boat to him . "
Anin smiled and brought a newspaper as he explained about the public opinion, "Previously I have seen that a lot of public opinion in your domain is shaped by a paper publishing media called Black and White Publishers . So I hope we can use it to change the waves in your domain . For this mistake, we are willing to compensate all the soldiers who died or got injured . We are also willing to recognize Sky Kingdom as long as we are allowed to have a good trading relationship with your Kingdom, i . e . We are in particular interested in Alcohol, Mana Restoring Pills and Elemental Ores . Previously Wine King himself had tasted this wine which was offered Minister Phillip and whole of our capital is in awe . "
Anin sighed after looking at Taylor’s expression and thought, ’Looking at his expression, it doesn’t look like I have crossed any red lines . ’
Taylor smiled as he understood that their goal of recognition was as good as done since they had General Nokud and a monopoly on Mana restoring pills and certain elemental ores, "Very well we will accept your proposal but we would like access to your markets and vice versa . General Nokhud’s matter will be swept under the rug as long as Bryndyll recognizes the Sky Kingdom officially . "
Anin hesitated a bit and spoke, "However there is a need for a lot of negotiations when it comes to a trade deal because I alone can’t decide and there would be a need for ministers to give their ok . However if we can buy some of your ships then maybe it can influence the other ministers, previously I heard from Murnet that there are a lot of Premium Alcohol produced in your Domain, If we can get access to them then it will only sweeten the deal . However, the Agricultural industry can’t be touched without consultations since a lot of people are engaged in it . " Trying his luck he also mentioned the strategic items such as the ships for trade .
Taylor thought a bit and smiled, "Ok, that won’t be a problem . However, we would like to enter the Transport and metal making-market in Bryndyll . Of course, we would also open our markets . Additionally, we also want to enter your strategic resources such as magical weapons . "
Taylor thought, ’What we currently need is stability, power and influence will naturally come with it . ’
Thinking about the competitive edge of Bryndyll when it came to mechanics and metal making, Anin smiled and spoke, "Ohh, that won’t be a problem . "
Anin carefully thought and nodded, ’Granting them access to our magical weapons shouldn’t be a big deal since we can get access to their ultrafast ships . Yes, I shouldn’t hesitate, they will be quite handy against Aelius atleast . . ’
Taylor nodded and spoke, "Good . I hope we have a healthy Co-operation . "
Anin smiled and thought as saw that Taylor already agreed, ’These trade deals are nothing, the most important matter anyway is General Nokhud’s release and then those ships . It seems this deal had gone better than what I expected . It seems I will be rewarded very well later on as long as I complete this mission . ’
Anin was shocked as he never thought that Taylor would agree with selling Ships, "Are you sure?"
Looking back at John’s confirmation that water boosters can’t be replicated so easily nor was it easy to duplicate the ship design, Taylor nodded and spoke, "Yes, that won’t be a problem . "
Anin smiled and as he thought about the ships which were quite fast, ’It seems we can finally bully Aelius, I guess me reacting earlier was good . It seems there were some benefits in this disaster . ’
Anin nodded and strongly and thought, ’Looking back, it was good that the battle happened previously or we would most certainly be facing a very big adversary if they hid their strength and we were conceited enough to attack them . Additionally, we can get access to their weapons to suppress Aelius . ’

Luke meanwhile was worried for quite a few days because as he had thought, Demons and Dwarves had started moving after they got the news about Mana Restoring Pills .
Luke was meanwhile in a very bad mood after getting a letter from Duke Fjord . ’It seems this is being sent to all the important ministers in Aelius . ’
Luke’s subordinate, Elison looked at the letter and spoke gravely, "It seems there is a big fight going on at the imperial court because of the new revelations concerning Count John and his weapons . "
Luke grumbled, "Isn’t that obvious? Who would want to miss an opportunity and not attack the ones who made the decisions previously? Currently, it is Prince Hector who will be facing the heat from all the sides since he was the one who escalated and influenced this war against Count John . Even Fjord has sent an official letter asking Prince Hector’s declaration on his involvement as recorded by their spies . Additionally, they have confirmed after investigating from Queen’s side that they had sent a lot of assassins when Evan was assassinated . "
