"Alright, in order to establish good trade relations with our friendly neighbors, the honest and kind Duchy of Hetherink is willing to make some concessions and recognize the Dore Territory's control over the western region, but regarding the signing..."
“I will have Lady Amelie come to sign the contract in person. She is currently the regent of the Dore Territory and the mother of Baroness Dona.”
“But I heard there hasn’t been a formal appointment from the House of Nobles yet… Wouldn’t it be legally foolproof if Lord Spring himself signed the contract?”
The other party is actually making things difficult for me on this point. It's likely that Polaz has heard the news that Baron Spring has been dead for over a year and is deliberately bringing this up to annoy me. Spring's death anniversary has already been celebrated, and his wife was rolling her eyes in bed with me. You want him to come out and sign a contract with you now? I'd rather send you down and ask him yourself.
Although Niu Zida was internally complaining like this, he couldn't openly criticize him on the surface. He could only say calmly:
"Baron Spring has died unexpectedly. According to the law of succession of nobles, his only direct descendant is Baroness Donna. Even if the House of Nobles does not approve, it cannot deprive her of control over the land within the territory. Unless the king issues a special decree, it is an automatic inheritance within the territory. The law of nobility has an explicit provision for automatic inheritance."
After all, there are so many nobles, big and small, within the territory. If every inheritance required the approval of the House of Nobles, it would be tantamount to handing over control, which could lead to excessive intervention by the king in the territory. The nobles considered this point when they revised the inheritance law, which is why they stipulated the "order of succession system." Generally, the House of Nobles only deals with inheritance issues involving disputes over the order of succession or the arrangement of territories without heirs. For territories with a single heir or a pre-determined heir, no special approval is needed; at most, a procedure is followed.
"Well, I think since this is our first collaboration, it's best to be absolutely sure of everything going smoothly..."
"Lord Pollaz, there's no need to worry about the issue of territory recognition. Besides, if you really don't recognize Baroness Donna's inheritance of the Dorrey territory, do you really think it's a good thing if another family inherits the Dorrey territory? Would it be beneficial to Heatherlink?"
Ningguang's sudden remark was a reminder to Count Polaz to know when to stop and not to make things too difficult. If things escalated to the point where another powerful family like Altaïr took over the Dore territory, Heatherlink would have even less of a chance regarding the Echeberia territory.
Polaz naturally noticed the problem and said:
"In principle, I do not object to this agreement. So, please let Mrs. Amelie come and sign the contract with us in person. We can continue to discuss the details of the agreement in the next few days..."
Chapter 201 Negotiation 3
Chapter 201.
Next, they discussed the specific location for the factory and how to appoint management personnel. Niu Zida suggested that he would personally oversee the factory's affairs in the Dore territory. However, Polaz argued that Niu Zida was, after all, a goblin, and if he openly caused public controversy in Heatherlink, even if he came...
Chapter 251
In that case, normal diplomatic procedures cannot be provided.
“That’s easy. We can have my other maid, Aponia, act as our representative.”
Let Amelie handle the affairs of Dorei within the territory. Niu Zida decided to concentrate his main maid forces in Heatherlink this time, since the territory is currently relatively stable. The main focus now is on the operation of the factory.
Polaz had no doubts about this. In any case, his core requirement for Niu Zida was to ensure the supply of raw materials. The real focus was on Ningguang. Polaz then negotiated with Ningguang mainly about the factory's funding, construction progress, technology sources, and future sales. Ningguang made guarantees for all of these. Before they knew it, the negotiations had reached almost evening, so Polaz hosted a banquet for Ningguang and Niu Zida.
"Speaking of which, why haven't we seen Princess Charlotte? She's the de facto regent of the Duchy of Hetherlink, right? I heard the old king's health hasn't been very good."
"Well, Her Highness is quite busy with many things, so I naturally have to manage the details of these negotiations. His Highness the Duke is not in good health."
"I see. It seems the entire Grand Duchy of Hetherlink cannot do without Lord Polaz."
Whether Ningguang's words were sincere or sarcastic was unclear, leaving Polaz unsure how to respond. He could only laugh it off and change the subject.
The banquet ended quickly, and Ningguang and Niu Zida returned to the International Hotel together. Of course, Kirito also went with them. In the carriage, Kirito couldn't wait to ask where Asuna was. At this time, Asuna was heavily pregnant and about to give birth, so of course she couldn't tell Kirito.
"Asuna is staying with us at the International Hotel, but I have another matter I need you to handle, Kirito. I hope you can invite Mrs. Amelie to come here for the signing ceremony. I'll only feel at ease if you inform me of this."
"Of course, no problem. I was already feeling very sorry for getting caught this time."
Kirito agreed without hesitation. After all, being detained at customs had delayed his cooperation with Niu Zida, and in the end, Ningguang had to come to his rescue. Kirito felt guilty, thinking that Ningguang and Niu Zida had sacrificed their own interests to save him.
"But let Kirito rest for a while, since he was just released."
"I also want Kirito to rest a bit before leaving, but if you don't act quickly, don't let Polaz's people keep you under surveillance. Mr. Niu Zida, have you forgotten how you were monitored before I invited you to move into the International Hotel?"
Niu Zida wanted to feign concern and suggest that Kirito take a rest, but upon hearing Ningguang's words, he could only feign regret. Kirito quickly responded:
"There's no time to lose, I should leave Heatherlink immediately to deliver a message to Lady Amelie."
"If you're coming this time, bring the white-silk-clad maid along as well."
"Huh? That's..."
"Oh, Misaki Shokuhou."
"I see……"
Kirito was a little embarrassed. He didn't understand for a moment when Niu Zida said his maid's name. He only understood after Niu Zida explained it again.
"Kirito, after we get off the carriage, you should take my carriage and leave the city quickly to avoid being targeted by Polaz's people. Thank you for your hard work. Once we get to the city gate, you can use my pass to leave the city tonight."
After Ningguang gave a few brief instructions, they arrived at the entrance of the International Hotel. She and Yor, who was carrying Niu Zida, got out of the carriage, and the driver drove Ningguang's luxurious carriage straight to the city gate, disappearing into the moonlight...
"Well, Mr. Niu Zida, I kept my promise and didn't let Kirito and Asuna meet."
"Thank you so much, I owe you this favor."
Seeing the elegant smile on Ningguang's charming and beautiful face, Niu Zida also replied with a grin. Ningguang snorted, took a light puff of her golden pipe, and exhaled, her small mouth filled with a faint tobacco aroma.
"I hope Mr. Niu Zida will keep his word and repay the debt in the future."
"Of course, no problem. I'm a person who keeps my word the most."
"Alright, then tell me the real secret of your command contract."
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
"The maids who sign a service contract with you can gain great power. I am very interested in this, so can you tell me the secret of the service contract?"
Standing at the hotel entrance, Ningguang squinted her beautiful eyes. Although she maintained a smile, Niu Zida was far from relaxed by such a direct question.
"Don't you have the Eye of God? The Eye of God can manipulate elemental forces, right?"
"Oh, you actually have the Eye of God? It seems your intelligence isn't bad either."
"Hehe, of course I also have ways to understand Ningguang."
Niu Zida is being deliberately mysterious; he only learned about Ningguang's Eye of God attribute because he played the game.
"However, Mr. Niu Zida, it's not good that you're playing tricks on me even though I've been helping you all along. The beautiful girls you've met, such as Ayaka, Chiori, Nel, and Kokoro, can't use their God Eyes. You should already know the current situation of those of us who have God Eyes, right? If you've met just one person, that's one thing, but after meeting so many people, you still speculate that even if I have God Eyes, you might not be able to use them either. Then I have to question the abilities of my future partners."
Although Ningguang's words weren't harsh, she practically shut down all of Niu Zida's possible counterarguments. Chatting with Ningguang...
Chapter 252
Niu Zida felt that he was always the one being suppressed. Unlike Shizuku Misato's sharp tongue attacks, Ningguang always seized the key points and forced him into an unfavorable situation. She knew everything about him, just like her business warfare style in the game.
"Ahem, of course, I'm just not sure if a woman as outstanding as Ningguang would be unable to use the Eye of God?"
"This kind of flattery won't help us avoid the problem. Oh, and it's not a good place to talk here. Let's go inside and talk."
Ningguang led the way into the hotel, and Niu Zida was finally able to return to Yor's embrace. Although it was a slightly chilly evening at the end of February or the beginning of March, Niu Zida found himself sweating profusely...
Upon entering the hotel, Ningguang invited Niu Zida into her room. Just before leaving, Joel tried to carry Niu Zida inside, but Ningguang refused.
"This discussion is between Mr. Niu Zida and me alone. I hope you won't disturb us, Miss Joel."
"But what about the master's safety???"
"Can't you trust me on this? I won't be bringing my secretary either."
Although Joel didn't say it explicitly, it was clear from his eyes that he didn't believe Ningguang when she asked that question.
"It's alright, Joel, I'll go in myself. I trust Ningguang."
Unexpectedly, Niu Zida then took the initiative to suggest entering the secret chamber to negotiate with Ningguang. Seeing his master's insistence, Joel didn't say much, only adding at the end:
"My master is usually very active and needs to be carried around. If I don't go in, who will carry him?"
Upon hearing what Joel said, Ningguang immediately took Niu Zida from her arms and held him against her soft, high breasts, smiling as she said to Joel:
"Let me carry Mr. Niu Zida. Miss Joel can rest assured now, right?"
This time, not only was Joel shocked, but Niu Zida was also shocked. He didn't expect Ningguang to suddenly pull such a stunt. However, to be honest, Niu Zida didn't mind. After all, being held in Ningguang's arms, he could clearly smell the soft fragrance of her body. That sweet and soft fragrance mixed with a faint tobacco scent almost made him drunk.
Seeing that Joel had no objections this time, Ningguang picked up Niu Zida and turned to go into her room, leaving only the two of them to talk without any further disturbances.
Chapter 202 Ningguang's Verbal Agreement
Chapter 202.
Once inside the room, Ningguang carried Niu Zida to the sofa and sat down next to him. Because they were so close, Niu Zida could clearly smell the fragrance emanating from Ningguang's body.
"What exactly will be discussed in this private meeting?"
"The deal with Polaz is over. Now it's time to talk about our deal. As I said before, I need the power of the Eye of God."
"Huh? Why would you need that?"
"About a few months ago, a monster appeared in the hinterland of Yunlai Port. It had a dark yellow body, a dragon's body and a wolf's head. Anyone who came into contact with it would bleed to death. We organized a large army to wipe it out, but we suffered a crushing defeat. I've investigated, and this thing should have come from Haiqi Island..."
"Huh? The Golden King Beast?"
"Yes, you understand now, Mr. Niu Zida."
No wonder Ningguang knew so much about him. Niu Zida suddenly realized that she had noticed him by investigating the origin of the Golden King Beast. After all, that thing had been near Haiqi Island and disappeared after he chased it away. Now he understood that it had gone to Ningguang's side.
"So that's how it is. No wonder you know everything about me. You're the Golden King Beast."
"Yes, I didn't like the Eye of God originally, but right now our power is no match for the Golden King Beast. We can only rely on our own strength. Moreover, the dark elves in the north of Yunlai Port are also our allies. They have also suffered greatly from the Golden King Beast and have sent people to ask for our help many times."
When Ningguang talked about the Golden King Beast, her face turned serious. She no longer had that teasing tone that she used to have with a slight smile. The charming look on her delicate face had also faded a lot. It was clear that Ningguang was really worried about the Golden King Beast.
"You want to sign a servitude contract with me to gain elemental power and then destroy the Golden King Beast, is that right?"
"Yes."
Ningguang's answer was so resolute that it seemed she had thought about the decision for a long time before making it.
"If you sign a service contract, you'll become my maid, Ningguang. Are you really prepared for that?"
"As the leader of Yunlai Port, I have to be responsible for the people of the city. At this point, I can't just stand by and do nothing. Solving problems requires power. In the end, this is a transaction. I don't think there's anything wrong with exchanging my body for power. It's fair."
It seems that Ningguang was truly well-prepared and not just acting on a whim. Of course, Niu Zida also understood why she had investigated so thoroughly.
"You arrived in Heatherlink so easily this time. How were you going to solve the Golden Beast problem if I wasn't there?"
“I originally planned to go to Dore Territory to find you after I finished negotiating with Count Polaz, but when I arrived at Yunlai Port, Baiwen told me that you had already arrived at Heatherlink Port and were being followed. I was still thinking about how to start a conversation when I didn’t expect Mr. Niu Zida to come to my door in person.”
Speaking of which, I was also worried about how to contact Ningguang, but I didn't expect that she would be even more eager to ask for my help. No wonder Ningguang was so eager to see me after we met.
Chapter 253
Their attitude towards themselves seemed overly intimate.
"It's just that in the current negotiations with Polaz, the factory was ultimately chosen to be built in Heatherlink, which really frustrates me. It was originally supposed to be built on my territory."
"Wouldn't this be better? This way, we can maintain our relationship with the Duchy of Hetherlink, and our next operation to mine ore and obtain imaginary energy will be much smoother."
It was only after Ningguang reminded him that Niu Zida realized why Ningguang had only mentioned building a factory to refine sand silkworm pupae and make spices, without mentioning mining at all. It turned out that her original intention was to use the sand silkworm pupae factory to lure Polaz out.
"Only by feeding these petty people can you truly begin to do great things; that's the secret of business warfare."
"Oh, I see..."
"Alright, enough with the jokes. So, Mr. Niu Zida, do you agree to my trade request?"
Ningguang finally smiled, waiting for Niu Zida's reply. Niu Zida reached out and placed his hand directly on Ningguang's soft, large breasts, as if to show his acceptance of the deal. However, he was stopped by Ningguang when he tried to move his hand further down:
“Master, don’t worry. We still need to finish the negotiations with Polaz here. When we return to Yunlai Port, I will serve you properly then.”
Ningguang has subtly changed how she addresses Niu Zida, which means they have officially entered the trading phase.
"Oh, we have to wait until then?"
"But paying some advance payment is certainly possible."
After Ningguang finished speaking, she revealed an elegant smile, then supported herself with her hands, lowered her head, opened her tender red mouth, and began to suckle Niu Zida's head carefully.
Niu Zida instantly felt his bull's head enter a warm, tight little hole, being repeatedly licked by a nimble little tongue. At the same time, his gloved and nail-covered little hands grasped the base of Niu Zida's huge member, gently stroking it up and down in coordination with his movements, while avoiding scratching Niu Zida and affecting his experience.
"Hmm??? Oh??? Hmph???"
Ningguang diligently moved her head up and down, occasionally raising her beautiful eyes to observe Niu Zida's reaction and adjusting her sucking speed. With such attentive service, Niu Zida soon felt his huge member swell continuously. Suddenly, he pressed down on Ningguang's head and thrust hard a few times, and a gush of semen gushed out, instantly filling the beautiful woman's red and tender mouth. Because it came out so quickly, a lot of it even spilled out and stuck to Ningguang's red lips.
Ningguang squinted her beautiful eyes, her snowy cheeks sunken, and tightly gripped the massive member, waiting until Niu Zida, holding her head high, bounced and ejaculated completely. Only then did she gurgle and gulp down the entire thing, her throat muscles bulging. After finishing, Ningguang even opened her small mouth and stuck out her little tongue to let Niu Zida confirm that she had drunk it all.
"Thank you for the gift, Master."
"Ningguang, your little mouth feels so good. Why don't we just settle the balance as well?"
