Chapter 32 Deal
Looking at Li He, the aristocratic young woman Isa took a deep breath and spoke.
"I don't know if you know this, but there is a strange madness going on in many places south of Vernarenza. In fact, my husband, Marquis Owen, suddenly contracted this madness and died.
He After his death, many nobles around him were not only unsympathetic, but also resorted to despicable means to rob the property and territory he left behind. They even tried to kill me and my daughter and completely divide the territory, forcing me to flee to Lunza - I The place where my parents’ family is.”
“Tell me the key points,” Li He said.
"Yes, yes." Isa did not dare to be long-winded and cut to the point, "In short, the lunatic disease is very serious in the south. In order to prevent its spread, Lunza is setting up multiple checkpoints outside the city to conduct strict inspections on people going to the south. "
You mean, with my ability, I will be stopped by the checkpoint? I need to take you with me to pass smoothly?" Li He asked.
"No, no." Isa explained nervously, "I have no doubt that adults can pass the checkpoint, but I think it always takes a little trouble for adults. If you and I go to the checkpoint together, there is a way to help adults quickly Pass and save your time."
After speaking, Isha looked at Li He seriously.
Li He couldn't help but chuckled: "Why, is this the price you want to pay? A few books and the convenience of passing the level?"
Isa's face was a little flustered: "Sir, I..."
"What are you?" Li He stepped forward Approaching, his voice became colder, "Ms. Isa, please recognize the reality. I am not stupid. So your purpose and the price you want to pay can be stated directly instead of hidden in seemingly sincere words. In addition
, , if the cost you can pay is very small, don't continue, so as not to annoy me, I don't mind letting my men deal with a few more corpses. So, that's it." After saying that, Li He turned around and left
. .
Isa's face kept changing. She looked at Li He's back in black robe, took a deep breath and said, "Sir, please walk slowly." "
What's the matter?" Li He stopped and asked, "I hope you're not You're wasting my time again."
"Don't dare..." Isa tried her best to keep a smile, shook her head vigorously, and said seriously, "This time I sincerely want you to escort us to Lunza." "
You can finally bring you The purpose is clearly stated, yes, but what price can you pay? I hope you won’t disappoint me." Li He said.
Having said this, he turned to look at Alex and asked, "Aaron, how are the corpses being disposed of?"
"Master, according to your instructions, the knife has been repaired, the death has been confirmed, and everything has been piled up. , you can light a fire and burn them together at any time." Alex replied. It can be seen that his efficiency is indeed very high, and he has collected all the corpses in one place.
"Very good, but if you wait a little longer for the ignition, there may be some changes."
"Yes."
Li He looked at Isa again and asked, "Madam, so, what can you give?"
Isa glanced at the side. The corpses collected by the devil were obviously pale, but they still tried to smile and said: "Sir, according to some rumors, I heard that wizards like you need a lot of resources, such as ores, in order to do research or improve their strength. , such as medicinal herbs.
And my family in Lunsa is quite powerful. As long as you can send me back, I am willing to let my family do its best to meet your needs for various resources." "This is not bad
. Not bad." Li He approved. It had to be said that he did have needs for various resources. At Blackstone Castle, I applied to my eldest sister Fiona, but when I go to Lensa I will most likely find a solution on my own. If a cooperation can be reached, it will save a lot of effort to let the family behind Isa provide it.
But...
"However, this is not enough." Li He said, "Although I need resources, your family is not the only one that can provide them. Moreover, based on the person who just chased you, we can deduce that the person who brought you The road to Lunsa with you will definitely not be peaceful. For me, this is not worth the gain."
Isa pursed her lips, thought for a while, and said: "Sir, my family can also provide you with a book belonging to the wizard, yes. , a book that only wizards can read. My family also obtained it accidentally. The text written on it is completely unreadable, but it must be related to some knowledge of wizards. This book has been kept secretly by my family
. I hope it can come in handy one day... If you are willing to escort us to Lensa, I am willing to give this book to you." "
A wizard's book? Very good." Li He nodded, "But... it's still not enough. "
My lord, this is already the most valuable thing I can give."
"Maybe, but what does it have to do with me?" Li He said lightly, "Maybe you feel that what you paid They are very precious, but have you ever thought that these are just empty promises, and it is still unknown whether they can be fulfilled, so their value has to be greatly discounted, and they are not as precious as you think. On this basis, maybe
you If you think it's enough for me to escort you to Lensa, enough to buy your life, that's because you think you're worth that much. But... in my opinion, my time may be more valuable." "
This ..." Isa was silent and had to admit that what Li He said made sense.
Li He chuckled lightly, turned around and left without saying anything: "You are quite sincere this time, but the price you can pay is still too little."
Li He walked further and further away, and Isha couldn't help but grit her teeth: "Sir , I can provide you with one last thing."
"Oh?"
"My family also treasures a magical item used by wizards. It is a ring called the Blood Amber Ring. Rumor has it that it is made of blood. Although what the witch left behind has been damaged, I believe it will still be of great use to you, sir. If I can return to Lensa, I will definitely dedicate this blood amber ring to you." Under the black robe
, Li Hyuk raised his eyebrows. At this moment, he was really moved.
He is not surprised that the other party can provide resources, but it is not very attractive to him if he can provide a wizard book. After all, he already has the "Book of Destiny", which is theoretically equivalent to having countless wizard books.
But providing a magical item used by wizards was completely different. It was something he had never come into contact with.
If he could obtain such a magical item, even if it was damaged, he could analyze some of the principles of the wizard's creation through research, see how it was different from normal scientific creation, and try to use it in practice. This means a lot to him.
What's more, according to what the other party said, this blood amber ring is related to the blood witch, and maybe some information about the countess can be found.
All in all, this deal is pretty good.
Originally, he just wanted to see what the other party could give, but he didn't expect there would be a surprise.
But having said that, if this deal is reached, it will definitely affect his original plan.
He originally thought of reaching Lensa quickly, but it would be more difficult to bring the opponent's group with him. He might have to face some intercepting enemies along the way, which would be quite troublesome... Unless... After thinking for a few seconds, Li He
thought Having made up his mind, he looked at Isa and said, "If everything you promised can be fulfilled, I can guarantee that I will take you to Lensa safely."
An expression of surprise suddenly appeared on Isa's face, and the expressions of the others also relaxed.
"But don't be too happy too early. I still have a small problem."
"Sir, please tell me." Isa said quickly.
"Master, do you want to light the fire now?" Alex, who had been waiting next to him for a long time, asked.
"Wait for me to ask another question."
"Yes, Master."
Li He looked at Isa and others. The other party was obviously nervous, realizing that the question Li He wanted to ask was crucial. If you don’t answer well, not only will the deal fail, but you may not be able to leave here alive.
"My question is also very simple. Which road do you want to take to return to Lunsa from here?"
Isa and the others were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. For a while, no one knew how to answer.
Finally, Barton spoke up and said cautiously: "Sir, returning to Lensa from here is generally the fastest way to go by water, but the route is too clear and there will definitely be enemies blocking it... So it is better to go by land, which can bypass those enemies. We have a malicious noble territory... But the land speed is too slow... The best way is to combine land and water, which is what we did before..."
Barton kept talking, but Li He didn't say anything and just listened quietly. With.
Isa looked at Li He, unable to see Li He's expression clearly because of the robe and hat, but she vaguely felt that this was definitely not the answer Li He wanted.
Then...
A few seconds later, Isa suddenly spoke up, interrupted Barton's words, bowed to Li He, and said respectfully: "Sir, we don't have a route we want to take back to Lunsa from here. How to act specifically is up to you. Even if you arrange for me to be stuffed into the carriage of a cargo carriage, I won't have any complaints." "
Not bad. With this kind of awareness, I can save a lot of trouble on the road." Li He was finally satisfied and stretched out his hand the next moment He took out three small sealed test tubes filled with transparent liquid from his black robe and handed them to the group of people.
"Group two people, drink the potion inside, and then I can take you away." Li He said.
Isa and the others were stunned for a moment, looking at the test tube handed out by Li He, hesitating slightly.
From the perspective of Isa and his party, they had no idea about the effects of Li He's potion, and after drinking it, they were basically completely under Li He's control.
But there seemed to be no other good way...
The others were still hesitating, but the noble girl Fleur was the first to step forward, carefully took a test tube, opened the stopper, poured half of the liquid directly into her mouth, and swallowed it.
Then he handed the remaining liquid to mother Isa's hand.
Isa no longer hesitated and drank the same.
Barton and the other three guards looked at each other, took the test tube from Li He's hand, and quickly drank the liquid in it.
Li He looked at it, nodded lightly, and turned to Alex: "Let's light a fire, get rid of all the bodies, and we'll leave." "
Yes." Aaron started to take action.
After hearing this, Isa and the others were sure that they were finally safe. They took a long breath and relaxed their bodies.
Then he frowned, because he found that his body relaxed a bit, and all the muscles in his body began to soften. His body swayed and he began to lose his balance. His eyelids could not be supported, and they fell down a little bit to cover his eyes.
Thinking slows down, gets slower and slower, and finally the consciousness goes blank.
With a "crash" sound, the group of people lay down on the ground one after another and fell into a deep sleep, which was the effect of the powerful anesthetic they had just taken.
After Allen disposed of the bodies, he walked back to Li He. Looking at the six Ishas lying motionless on the ground, he asked in slight surprise: "Master, how should we deal with these?" "
Throw them into the castle, and then we will be normal On our way."
"Understood."
