Chapter 70, The Shit-stirrer Goes Online

Hearing the staggering number, "300 million Divine Shields," Wessenberg would have spat out his wine had he not been accustomed to weathering great storms.

Frankly, at this moment, he wanted to counter with "3 million." However, considering that doing so would be too frivolous, it might damage his grandiose image.

"Envoy, you must be joking! Throughout the entire history of mankind, there has never been such an expensive colonial trade.

Only half the land in the Moroccan Area is valuable, and by your asking price, the average cost per square kilometer would be 150 Divine Shields.

With such a price tag, one could buy land in your own homeland. Apart from the areas surrounding cities, most of the rural land in your country is priced similarly."

This was an exaggerated claim; while land in Spain might not be expensive, it wasn't as cheap as 150 Divine Shields per square kilometer.
