Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Chapter 349: Firearm Trade

Herbert was a little timid in front of this now famous person in Anjou.

Caron didn't say much, after all, this was Herbert's normal reaction.

A guest of the king needed so many weapons, and he had to go through the smuggling route and conduct secret transactions.

Seeing that Herbert was hesitant to step forward, Caron said, "Sir Herbert, don't think too much. I only purchased these weapons for my country."

“Perhaps most people don’t know that His Majesty Alberto has actually sold me weapons to support my country.”

Herbert immediately perked up after receiving the intelligence, but he still showed some fear. He asked, "I heard that the dragon is also your ally. What do you need weapons for?"

"It's no secret that dragons only help when things are going in their favor."

Karon shrugged and said, "There are many destroyed magical environments on our Sauron continent. It is quite difficult to use magic in those environments. But if we have fire guns and cannons that can be used without relying on magic, it can greatly improve our combat effectiveness in such a magic-free environment."

"That's why I begged Your Majesty to trade with the Avar Kingdom and purchase a large number of cannons and muskets for my kingdom."

Just as Karon said, because of the super-level magic brought by the Avar Kingdom, the continent of Sauron has caused a lot of magical disturbances, the magical environment has been destroyed, and there are even magic-free areas where the magic has dissipated.

In this area, the Avars can only fight with other countries on the Sauron continent, which is extremely disadvantageous for the Avar Kingdom. What's more, the original countries on the Sauron continent have formed an alliance against the Avar Kingdom. In addition to the instigation of the dragon, this is also part of the reason why the Avars turned their attention to this continent.

However, this situation changed after Charon and other envoys discovered the firearms on this continent. Firearms can operate normally even in the worst magic-free environment, and the destructive power they display is no less than that of ordinary magic. Troops equipped with muskets can run rampant in such an environment.

The most important thing is that there is almost no training cost for musket soldiers.

So from the moment they discovered this, the Avar envoys continued to smuggle firearms into their country.

At the beginning, the scale of this smuggling was not large, but as the situation on the continent changed, Avar hooked up with the two major forces of Demon and Anjou at the same time, which gradually brought these smugglings to the surface.

Not only did Albert condone this smuggling, he even personally joined in, clearly marking the prices of firearms produced in Anjou and selling them to the Avars. The Avars even gradually established a special trading port in Anjou.

There was no other way. Alberto was feeling increasing pressure and had to find a way to open up new sources of revenue. Selling some ordinary firearms to Avar could just help him clear out the inventory and create a virtuous circle for firearms research and development.

What's more, the Avars are now ostensibly friendly forces. In order to fight against Capet, and in addition to researching super-level magic, Alberto is intentionally or unintentionally helping the Avar Kingdom to gain a foothold on this continent.

Of course, the most expensive and best-use firearms are definitely produced in the Capetian North. In the Avar Kingdom, the price of a musket produced in the North is even comparable to that of a large-caliber cannon, but it is still in short supply among the Avar nobles.

So Caron didn't really want to rebel or stab his allies when he asked Herbert to come to him, he just wanted to make some extra money.

However, no one can say for sure about this matter. After all, in addition to traditional firearms, Charon also accepts magic-driven magic stone firearms. As long as they don't go too far, Anjou will basically turn a blind eye.

After Caron explained in detail, Herbert pulled out a musket from his arms, which instantly made Caron's eyes light up.

This musket has a simple and majestic appearance. The gun body is forged from black metal and is inlaid with dark red runes. The runes are faintly visible on the gun body, emitting a faint light, as if breathing.

The function of these runes is to reduce recoil and increase stability. Although they are not complicated, they are quite ingeniously designed.

There is also a special crystal on the barrel to assist in aiming. It can be said that even someone who has never touched a musket can use this exquisite musket perfectly. It is an exquisite toy.

Of course, this musket is not powered by magic stone, and is rather flashy and impractical. It would be even more difficult to use in a non-magic environment.

But it is obvious that the main audience of this musket is wealthy nobles and businessmen. It can not only be used for self-defense, but it is also a work of art in itself.

"How much can it sell for?"

"A whole ship!"

even more.

Kalon couldn't imagine how valuable this musket would be in the Avar Kingdom.

Herbert directly pushed this exquisite musket to Caron, which surprised Caron.

"Mr. Caron, I want a big order!"

"Of course, I will definitely give you a big order."

Herbert knew Altan, who was also from the Avar Kingdom. He was now completely happy here and no longer missed his homeland. The expression on Kalon's face was somewhat similar to that of Altan.

After getting closer, Herbert enthusiastically took Caron to eat, drink and talk business. While drinking, Herbert also learned some things about the Avar Kingdom from Caron.

The Avar Kingdom has now landed on this continent under the influence of the dragon, trying to return to this land, while continuing to fight with other countries on the continent of Sauron.

The Avar Kingdom, which had been gradually declining because super-level magic was becoming increasingly difficult to perform on the continent of Soran, is now beginning to become strong again due to the emergence of firearms and smuggling.

Moreover, there are many things on this continent that are not available on the continent of Sauron, such as spices, cheap white sugar, and various strange magic props.

As long as you can ship back a shipload of goods, you can immediately become a rich man.

These are no secrets. You can find out by asking the increasing number of Avar soldiers and merchants recently.

After signing a large order with Herbert, Caron, who was already a little drunk, said: "The most troublesome of those countries is Castile, but fortunately, Castile is also going to be destroyed now."

"Oh? Castile, is it the country that organized the anti-Avar alliance you mentioned before?"

Herbert asked, pouring wine for Caron himself.

"Yes, Castile is now in a state of turmoil over the issue of succession. If the original Castile had joined forces with other countries to develop a route we didn't know about, it would have been quite troublesome. But guess what happened now."

"Castile actually threw their little princess into the sea. Connecting this continent and opening a route became a tool for political struggle in the hands of these people, and the first one to be eliminated was the youngest daughter."

Herbert rolled his eyes when he heard the news and said, "Stupid, too stupid. I guess you have already made full preparations to capture the Princess of Castile, right?"

"Ah!"

Karon snorted coldly and said, "Of course. I just hope that the little princess won't be swallowed by the Sea of ​​Impermanence on the way."
