Balola began to contemplate; the price of a floating battleship cannot be calculated like ordinary items.

If it's an ordinary item, one generally considers the cost of transportation and other expenses and whether it's rare.

The floating battleship is equivalent to a magic item; not only is it rare, but it is also extremely valuable, and its price among the nobles has always been high. In fact, some minor nobles simply cannot afford these items.

Even now that there are more magic items, with a large output from the Xuanwu Empire, some minor nobles still cannot purchase them.

The price of these magic items cannot be measured by cost alone.

The floating battleship is even more special; it is not something that can only be used by individuals. It is a powerful legendary combat force, even surpassing ordinary legends.

These things can be passed down because they have the ability to repair themselves, which is no secret.

Previously on the battlefield, they all saw the floating battleship being damaged, it was impossible to hide.

Therefore, a floating battleship is the foundation for an empire's future continuity. As long as they lean towards the Xuanwu Empire, the combat power that the floating battleship can exert is imaginable.

Balola had no choice; even if Zhao Guang would sell it to other empires in the future, they could only buy it.

With this thing, one can be at ease.

Originally, the empire had only one legend, which was Duke Horace. Duke Horace previously abandoned the idea of establishing a duchy in order to deal with the Sea Clan, and that has continued to the present.

Now, the Sea Clan is no longer a threat, after all, Zhao Guang solved it all.

But the powerful strength of Duke Horace, along with the relationship over there with Morna, made the entire Duke Domain quite unruly. Horace himself focused his attention on his son.

With the weapons Zhao Guang crafted before, they could activate their family's secret techniques.

If this continues, it is very likely that a second legend will appear in their family, perhaps even one in every generation.

Once such a powerful family rises, even if they don't seek independence, they will not benefit the country much, acting like a ticking time bomb within it.

Currently, the royal family urgently needs its own legendary combat force, and in the absence of in-house training, buying a floating battleship is the best option. Raising it themselves? They've been striving for years.

No one can help in this area, even if Zhao Guang intends to help, they might not dare to accept it.

Balola thought of a lot at once, remaining unflustered on the outside.

If it weren't for Zhao Guang's already strong mental perception, he wouldn't have been able to notice Balola's current state. After becoming the queen, he indeed needed to consider many things, Zhao Guang reflected.

Luckily, he is different from other kings, as he suppressed the entire empire with his own strength.

No matter the matter, as long as he doesn't bother with it, everyone else has to follow his rhythm.

"How about the entire empire's revenue for half a year?"

Balola seemed prepared, pulling a list from his sleeve. It was the empire's detailed revenue report, organized beforehand by the Chirali Empire. Although it contained nothing rare, the value was very high.

Zhao Guang's territory now was not lacking in food, nor in high-end items, yet faced shortages in many areas.

For an empire, development is multifaceted; Zhao Guang places great importance on the average income and assets of its people.

Balola was aware of this, hence the proposal. Currently, everything was good in the Xuanwu Empire, the development pace was very rapid. But with the crazy surge in population, many deficiencies began to appear.

If not for Zhao Guang's strength combined with the empire's development forcibly suppressing these, they would have already erupted.

Zhao Guang glanced at the list, calculating silently, then nodded.

With these things, the development speed of his country would indeed get a huge boost. A win-win situation, no doubt Balola was hitting the mark perfectly. This condition couldn't be refused.

"I agree," Zhao Guang finally acknowledged, and Balola breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a top-level strategic resource, and if other empires knew, they'd absolutely find ways to obtain it, including the Beastman Empire. During the battle with the Flying Beast Alliance, the floating battleship displayed its prowess thoroughly.

In the subsequent war on the Undead Mage's battlefield, the floating battleship's performance was even more terrifying.

The union of three floating battleships formed a complete defensive line, scaring away those undead professionals upon sight. Even many legends dared not approach easily.

Even though the floating battleship was damaged, their legends almost got a few killed.

At this time, Zhao Guang spoke again, "I can give you two slots, you can have them now. As for the price, you can pay it off in five years, I won't charge interest, just reinforce civil cooperation between our nations."

Two slots, indeed a big surprise, Balola had not expected Zhao Guang to be so generous.

With two floating battleships, one could be used for protection, while the other for other matters.

If willing, they can certainly invade Klein Empire and seize their territory. Zhao Guang probably wouldn't mind this, as it doesn't affect himself.

Moreover, with five years to pay, the pressure is greatly reduced.

If it were to be paid in one go, even the empire would feel strained. The royal family wouldn't be able to immediately produce such wealth, requiring consultations with other nobles.

If that happens, the usage rights of the floating battleships could be split.

But now, with five years, Zhao Guang not charging interest, the royal family can grit their teeth and sustain. Eventually, they would have two top-level combat forces, which are extremely valuable.

"I agree; this condition is highly favorable for us."

Zhao Guang was also very satisfied, as five years of strengthened civil exchange would sufficiently alleviate various domestic issues. Moreover, such a long time is ample for resolving all issues at home, making it a win-win.

"You can take the floating battleships back now, just sign a contract."

Zhao Guang wasn't worried at all; with his strength, who would dare default.

And Balola was all the more delighted, not expecting Zhao Guang to allow immediate departure with them. Possessing two floating battleships instantly, if utilized well, within five years, they wouldn't just avoid losses but might even reap significant gains.
