System vs Rebirth

Earl Canmond was staring at Count Siegfried with a grim expression.

"So Earl Canmond would like me to purchase your wool?" Count Siegfried looked at the documents in his hand. "And the amount of the purchase is not small either. You should know that it's hard for me to raise this much money to purchase the wool, right?"

Earl Canmond bit his lips. "I'm aware of how much money you need to fork out. However, please remember that this is beneficial for you as well."

"Beneficial for me? How come?"

"The wool's price will return to normal soon."

"I don't think so. It has been a few weeks since the wool's price dropped. I'm also aware that this happens because you're imposing a trade ban against Marquis Ardagan. If I buy this wool from you, I might inquire about the wrath of Marquis Ardagan." Count Siegfried frowned. "Let alone that the wool price has been dropping continuously as no nobles want to buy it because of the same reason or because the price doesn't rise anymore."

Earl Canmond took a deep breath. He was angry, but there was nothing he could do. He had to make Count Siegfried buy his product.

"I'm aware that you are trying to maintain your neutrality. However, you should see the future, Count Siegfried. Once the Ardagan family is crushed, the rune technology will spread. You don't have to even beg for rune technology to acquire it. The Marquis is having a hard time right now, and if we can last to winter, there will be a lot of deaths in Lounstein. And I'm sure you can imagine what will happen after that."

Count Siegfried glanced at the document again and said, "But I still have to pay the price… The price of the wool has dropped from 100 silvers per 10 kilograms to only 55 to 60 silvers in the current market.

"And you're asking me to buy a hundred tons. Don't you think it's too excessive? If I'm not wrong, it's your entire stock right now."

"…" Earl Canmond was aware of the amount. Even if the price had been reduced, he still had to fork out more than five thousand golds.

Five thousand gold might not be that much compared to the entire budget, but as a noble, he had to consider the other costs as well. Asking for five thousand gold coins was similar to asking for six months of revenue from the entire territory. This money could be used to train their elites or buy good things for the territory. In fact, he could use this amount of money for rune technology from Noel.

Count Siegfried turned to Earl Canmond while raising his finger. "And do you think that I'm unaware that you are visiting other territories first? What is their answer?"

Earl Canmond couldn't reply to that question, but the answer was rather obvious. He wouldn't have gone to this place if he had sold his products.

Hence, Earl Canmond said, "If you buy all this, I can promise you a lot of other things in the future."

Count Siegfried shook his head. "But that's only if you manage to crush Marquis Ardagan."
