Faced with Ryan's question.
Burnet directly stated his purpose,""Sir Rennes, I'm here for the marriage between the two families.”
" Marriage?!"
Upon hearing this, Rene narrowed his eyes.
He did not believe that the Blake family would want to marry him for no reason.
If you don't have anything to do, you must have something to ask for.
Therefore, Rene had no intention of responding.
He just quietly waited for Burnet to continue.
He didn't let Rene wait too long.
Seeing that Rennes was unmoved, Burnet immediately told him his thoughts.
"Sir Rennes, you must have heard about Viscount Caddo's family.”
"The situation in the Rhine region is getting more and more chaotic.”
"In order to protect our family's inheritance and territory, I hope that the Blake Family and the Hubs Family can join forces and form an alliance to help each other…"
With that, Burnet looked at Ryan with anticipation.
In his opinion.
This was a win-win situation.
With the two families working together, their ability to resist risks would increase greatly.
However…
Ryan didn't think so.
In his opinion, Burnet's suggestion was purely to get something for nothing.
After all.
Nearly half of the Blake family's strength was brought by the patriarch, Cartier, to participate in the border war.
It would be good enough if the remaining armed forces could defend their territory.
How would they have the spare energy to support him?
If the Hubs clan and the Blake clan formed an alliance…
Not only was it useless, but he also had to take care of this 'burden'.
Only a fool would do this.
"Forget it."
At the thought of this, Rene shook his head and chose to refuse.
"Sir Rennes, if you have any dissatisfaction with the marriage alliance, feel free to mention it.”
"As long as I can agree to it, I definitely won't refuse.”
Hearing this, Burnet immediately became anxious.
"I want half of your family's smiths and five Meteor City-Breaking Crossbows.”
Rennes demanded an exorbitant price.
The Habus clan had only been established for three generations.
His foundation was too weak.
Under his management, his military strength and financial resources had already caught up with the old nobles in the Rhine region.
However, there were still many other shortcomings.
For example, there was a lack of craftsmen who could forge and repair armaments.
So far, Eagle Hill's armaments were still highly dependent on external input.
Unable to be self-sufficient.
Once the outside world was in chaos, the trade routes were cut off, and all the weapons in their hands were useless.
The army of Eagle Hill would be without weapons.
But the Black family was different.
As a veteran aristocrat with hundreds of years of history.
Although she was lonely now.
However, the number of blacksmiths he had accumulated over the years was quite large.
If they could get half of the Blacksmiths from the Blake family, the Habus family would be able to make up for their fatal shortcoming of making armaments.
As for the Meteor City-Breaking Crossbow.
This was a type of magic weapon enchanted with fire elements.
Each arrow shot out was as powerful as a 2nd-circle spell, Explosive Fireball.
Placing it on the city wall was equivalent to a defensive turret.
It could greatly enhance the safety of the city.
Of course.
Such powerful magic weapons were naturally expensive.
Not counting the technical cost.
Just the cost of the materials alone was more than 10,000 gold coins.
If it was sold outside, it would cost more than 50,000 gold coins to buy one.
Ryan wanted five at once.
It was worth more than 200,000 gold coins.
This was simply like drawing blood from the Blake family.
"Impossible!"
Burnet refused without thinking.
Neither he nor the Blake family could accept such conditions.
"Then you can leave."
Rennes said indifferently.
He had never expected Burnet to agree to his ridiculous conditions.
He just wanted to find a reasonable excuse to refuse the alliance with the Blake family.
"One-fifth of the blacksmiths and one Meteor City-Breaking Crossbow.”
When he heard that Rennes was about to send him off, Burnet gritted his teeth and stated his conditions.
"No! Half of it was half of what he said. Not a single blacksmith could be missing!”
"However, I can give you two Meteor City Breaking Crossbows.”
"This is the final offer.”
Rennes said.
What a shame!
They wanted to seek protection, but they didn't want to bleed.
How could there be such a good thing in this world?
“……”
Hearing this.
Burnet frowned.
After thinking for a long time, he finally chose to agree.
He had no choice.
The current situation was stronger than the current situation.
With the current strength of the Blake family, it would be too difficult for them to survive the chaos that swept through the Rhine region.
For the continuation of the family, he had to facilitate this marriage no matter what.
Even if they had to pay a huge price for it, they would not hesitate.
After all, only by passing on the legacy would the family have hope and a future.
They discussed the terms of the alliance.
The two of them immediately signed a magic contract.
After successfully completing the purpose of this trip, Burnet did not stay in Habus Manor for long.
He immediately left in a hurry with his guards.
He had to go back and prepare the craftsmen and the Shooting Star City-Breaking Crossbow to send them to Habus Manor.
The magic contract would be fully effective.
In case of a long night.
……
The next day.
Under Burnet's deliberate propaganda.
The news of the Blake family and the Hubs family forming an alliance quickly spread in the surrounding areas.
This matter caused quite a stir.
Because the Blake family married Ryan's marriage partner, Katie, who looked pure and had an enchanting figure.
It was quite famous in the surrounding area.
She was the white moonlight in the hearts of many young nobles.
One could imagine how upset these people were when they heard the news of Katie's marriage.
"Damn it! Katie was so young and beautiful. How could she marry an old man who was only a few decades old? Wasn't that like putting a flower on cow dung?!”
"How enviable!”
"Damn it! Why didn't the Blake family marry my family?”
"It hurts, it really hurts!"
The young nobles who admired Katie in the surrounding area wailed.
If they didn't know that Rennes wasn't to be trifled with, there would have been young nobles who would have come to challenge him to a life-and-death duel.
Except for these guys whose brains were filled with hormones.
Some people with a keen sense of smell knew that the Blake family had made a good move.
In the current chaotic situation, they could use the marriage alliance to borrow the power of the Hubs clan to protect them.
This deal was simply worth it.
Some of the villains who took advantage of the situation temporarily gave up on the idea of looting the Blake family's territory.
After all.
With the support of the Hubs clan, the Blake clan was no longer a pushover.
