Novel Full Chapter 1149 - 1149: Promise
“Mr. Nathan. That’s…” Amelia had a hard time closing her mouth.
Nathan smiled. “Yes. For your information, the mechanism is purely achieved through simple technology. You only need a bit of energy to open up the sky. I call this Cloud-Repelling Device.”
“Cloud-Repelling Device…” Amelia sucked a cold breath. She shuddered at the thought of having this cloud-repelling device. They really needed this device, no matter the price.
“You probably only need to kill some low-level aliens to operate it. The cloud will stay open for a while,” added Nathan.
Amelia couldn’t imagine it. To hire a high-level summoner, they needed to spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions each month. However, Nathan claimed that this device could reduce that number to just a few thousand?
Nathan sighed. “Unfortunately, this device is not complete yet. Please look at that.”
Amelia raised her head, finding the ball that gradually fell down with the help of a small parachute.
“After releasing that power, the ball can’t be used anymore. You need to recharge its energy to reuse it. And to recharge that power, a human can’t do it.”
“Ah, that’s why you mention aliens. You need energy from the cores?”
“Yes. And I also need materials to complete the device so that it can recharge that energy directly.” Nathan nodded. “With good maintenance, it can last for a long time.”
She gulped down. “Mr. Nathan. We will support you. Whatever you need, we will provide it. Please sell it to us… Ah!” Amelia paused, realizing she had said something wrong. She took a deep breath to calm down before asking, “May I know what your intention is for this device?”
Nathan raised his eyebrows. It looked like Amelia had managed to suppress her greed. If a merchant group had this device, they would become number one in the world right away. If a noble had it, their strength would increase drastically.
However, if they were too greedy, Nathan would have a hard time, so he intended to work together with someone else if she was that kind of person. It looked like Amelia was better than he thought.
Nathan raised one finger. “I have one goal. That is to lower the food’s price.”
“Is that really all?” Amelia widened her eyes in shock.
“Yes.” Nathan nodded. “If I put a ridiculously high price, the food price will remain and the situation will get even worse.
“However, I don’t really like people stealing this device.”
“Ah!” Amelia understood. Nathan wanted the guarantee of the marquis to protect his right. But if this was the case, working together with the merchant would have been good. Still, it wouldn’t lower the food’s price.
Instead, he worked with the nobles to achieve both things. However, lowering the food price like that would be quite hard if he only had one of them. A lot more devices needed to be produced.
“If you can provide the materials and some craftsmen. This device can be mass-produced.”
Amelia clenched her hands into fists. “My father is away, and I’m the only one who can make a decision for this marquisate. However, I promise I will do everything I can to help you.”
“Hoh? So, you’re admitting that you don’t have the right to make the decision?” Nathan narrowed his eyes, judging her.
“Yes. However, I can still aid you in completing the device.” Amelia nodded solemnly. “I will convince my father to support you as well. I’m sure he will welcome this device.”
“I wonder. Won’t he try to steal it from me once he returns?”
“You jest. Even if my father returns, he won’t be able to do anything to your fiancee. And if we do such a thing, it will be a huge matter if you choose another noble to entrust with this task. We will end up becoming a laughingstock. It will be a different matter if you end up leaving the dynasty.”
‘Dynasty? An empire that is ruled by one single family for generations?’ Nathan didn’t know much about the political structures, but the name of the dynasty showed how powerful this territory was.
Nathan closed his eyes as if he were thinking about it. “Well… I do indeed have one hidden intention. The reason I’m trying to achieve this is because of a few people…”
Nathan looked up. A trace of hatred and sadness was reflected in his eyes.
“!!!” Amelia didn’t realize that Nathan was just acting. He provided some information, but not enough to figure out the whole truth. As a result, Amelia had to form the truth in her mind, which caused a bit of misunderstanding.
‘Revenge? If I’m not mistaken, his name is Nathan Reckmoon. He is a nobleman. Or maybe he was a noble? I haven’t heard of any nobles with that name, but it might be lesser nobles or even the nobles of the empire.
‘His family might be ruined? Either way, it does look like there’s some revenge going on.’ Amelia paused for a moment before asking, “May I know who those people are?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t trust you enough to give you that information.” Nathan shook his head. “However, I just wish to find those people. I don’t plan to let you do things other than that.”
This was the same as telling her the payment was the information network. In fact, presenting this device alone would raise their family rank, and even the emperor might help this person. However, if he presented this device directly to the emperor, it might get taken away by the scheming foxes. Nathan was basically making them do the presentation.
Amelia finally understood the full intention.
“I see.” Amelia nodded. “Although I might not be able to represent the Marquisate for such a huge matter, I can promise you two things. With my current authority, I can provide you with the materials to complete the device.
“All I hope is that Mr. Nathan will finish the device in this marquisate. My honored father will return in 2 to 3 days. At that time, I promise you that I will do my best to persuade my father.”
Nathan secretly smiled. The first phase of his plan was finally completed.
