Chapter 465: Chapter 440: The Power of Single-Digit Forbidden Rare Artifacts

Marshal Horatio’s study was the largest area in the manor, with various books piled up like mountains. Though not neatly arranged, they were covered in labels.

“Would you like coffee or tea?”

Darren pondered for a moment, then said with a smile,

“Hmm, I’ll choose tea.”

Marshal Horatio nodded gently and waved his hand; soon, an alchemical fairy appeared, carrying tea and coffee which it handed to Darren and him respectively.

“Let’s continue then.”

In the study, Marshal Horatio discussed in the time that followed the detailed issues concerning the Lorne Empire aiding the Cyart.

Firstly, one point was completely confirmed.

The Lorne Empire would not directly deploy any soldiers or Extraordinary Exponents in the war, because such an action would likely provoke the Seven Suns Empire People to enter the fray directly, ultimately leading to an even larger scale conflict.

“The empire just ended a major war and is not yet prepared for another, and if we were to battle the Seven Suns Empire People in the East, where the Gods are limited and Heavenly Enlightenment cannot appear, the ultimate direction of the war would be very complex. Lorne certainly does not want to take such a huge risk,”

“But apart from not sending troops directly, Lorne Empire will provide a significant portion of support, whether it be food, medicine, money, or various Extraordinary materials and alchemy tools, to Cyart.”

Marshal Horatio paused, then continued expressionlessly,

“To be more direct, it is to be given to your Fischer family… but the Fischer family must also provide certain assurances, I need you to establish an ‘oath’ for the empire.”

“If you can defeat the enemy in the war, you must return more to Lorne over the next ten years.”

Darren listened silently, without objection, while Marshal Horatio emphasized one particular matter.

“Especially those unique resources only found in the Eastern Four Kingdoms, which were controlled by the Seven Suns Empire People and thus became expensive. But if you gain significant influence in the Eastern Four Kingdoms, Lorne would like to obtain them at lower prices.”

“I completely understand.”

Darren nodded lightly; he knew all too well that Lorne citizens were not philanthropists by any means; they were essentially a group of ruthless devils, and in fact, the Fischer family was making a deal with the devil.

But these were profitable transactions… and if the Cyart people lost in the war, everything would be utterly nullified, with nothing left to say.

Such an outcome was absolutely unacceptable to him!

After all the detailed issues were discussed, both parties established the ‘oath’, and then Darren left the manor with a leisurely demeanor.

Marshal Horatio thought deeply.
