"Black Zombie Elixir. Merlin said.

"Hahaha...... That's right, it's the Black Zombie Elixir...... Y-How do you know?"

The smile on Sloane's face froze suddenly, and he glared at Merlin in disbelief.

"I'm a wizard, and I happen to be a pharmacist. Merlin looked at him with a look of pity, and took out two potions casually, which they quickly poured into the mouths of Custer and Williams.

It was only then that Sloane reacted, screamed violently, and turned to run away.

"Bastard, where are you going?!" Williams roared in anger, his body suddenly jumped up, and in a few big strides he rushed behind Sloane, smashing him to the ground with a punch, and then a painful beating...... In terms of force value, Sloane was not half a star, and all he could do was to get beaten and scream.

"You take him down and talk about it seriously, just don't die. Karst moved his body to prove that Merlin's antidote worked, and instructed his son to drag Sloan down for interrogation.

Shortly after Williams left, he also politely asked Merlin to stay in the study for a while.

"Please. ”

Mei Lin bowed slightly, and simply sat on the sofa chair in the study, squinting her eyes and waiting for the father and son to return...... Eventually, she decided not to explain her identity to Custer at this time.

......

Merlin didn't wait long...... About a quarter of an hour or so Custer came back alone, and by looking at his face, he knew that the result was not satisfactory.

"Your Excellency, how is Madame Honorable? I don't think that Lord Sloane is as tough as he is. Merlin asked.

"He's a soft bone indeed. ”

Custer sighed: "It's just that after he tricked Leia's mother and son out of Fort Brent, even he couldn't confirm the whereabouts of their mother and son, and he himself has lost his use value to the Heavenly Poison Alliance." Regardless, until they achieve their goal, Leia's mother and son should be safe. ”

He paused slightly, then continued, "Frankly, Lord Merlin, I need your help. Maybe we can talk about it in detail. ”

Do you finally need me and stop thinking I'm a piece of shit?

Syphilis looked at Custer Brent with some mixed eyes.

Back then, the father who was a treasure of his own ancestors, because he disliked himself for not being a real wizard, because he disliked himself because of his stepmother, he threw her young alone in the Shuiyun Academy, and today he finally doesn't think she is a waste?

"Of course, as you wish. Merlin bowed slightly.

......

In the study, the two sat across the table, staring directly at each other.

"What I'm short of now is time, so I don't want too many roundabouts in the negotiations. Custer squinted his eyes and looked at Lance, "Before we talk about the specific conditions, I want to know, how much kindness do you have to help me?"

"Sir Brent, goodwill is not easy to measure, and I prefer to use practical things as bargaining chips. ”

Merlin's fingertips tapped lightly on the desk, and she said calmly, "As a wizard, you should know what can impress me, and if the portion is enough, I think I can help you a lot." ”

Custer shook his head and said, "In addition to the wealth that is coveted by ordinary people, I do have a lot of resources in my hands that are suitable for wizards, especially these resources are indispensable for wandering wizards. If you want to get what you want from me, then you have to give me a plan that appeals to me. ”

Merlin took a deep breath, looked at Custer and said, "I already have a plan. I know you're rich, but I still need to remind you that a second-level wizard like me who is willing to help you fight against the Poison Alliance will probably not find a second one in the entire Sswiftland Kingdom. I know that you have a close relationship with the Fire Alliance, but in this war, they have also chosen to avoid it...... You should be able to see what I mean. ”

Custer was silent for a while, revealing a helpless smile: "Okay, say your plan, as long as it doesn't go too far, I'll consider it." ”

......

Half a day later, Merlin walked out of Custer's study exhausted, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

The negotiations weren't as crisp as Custer had suggested, and Merlin had been sincere in asking herself what she had offered, but the old Earl was still trying to lower her value in exchange for Merlin's help for less.

Such an attitude was naturally met with Mei Lin's dissatisfaction and resistance, and the two sides exchanged words for a whole afternoon before the cooperation was completely finalized.

However, although it lasted for such a long time, Mei Lin also knew that in the process of negotiation, the initiative was always in her own hands. Although Custer is powerful, he is only one person after all. As Merlin had said, she was almost the only second-level wizard in the region who dared to fight against the Poison Alliance for Fort Brent, and that could not be erased, no matter what Custer said. Once Merlin is gone, it will be difficult for him to rescue Leia from the headquarters of the Poison Alliance alone.

So Merlin is quite satisfied with the final result of the deal.

"It's a bit of a tight week. ”

Merlin walked all the way back to the room Custer had arranged for her, thinking about it.

Not only is the suite lavishly decorated, but it's also fully functional, with meditation rooms, laboratories, and even a dedicated magic testing ground, much to Merlin's satisfaction.

For the next week, he had to be in this room ready for anything. In the transaction between the two sides, the main thing that Merlin needs to pay is her own strength. In a week's time, the two will leave Fort Brent and head to the headquarters of the Poison Alliance to rescue Leia and Wessler...... Until then, Custer will use negotiations to stall for time.

Frankly speaking, Mei Lin was still a little drumming in her heart about directly challenging the headquarters of the Heavenly Poison Alliance, after all, after seeing the power of the Green Poison Python, she didn't dare to underestimate any second-level wizard of the Heavenly Poison Alliance. However, after Custer revealed his plan, Merlin decided to take a gamble, and in this rescue plan, Custer would find a way to lure away the main men of the Poison Alliance, so that Merlin would have to face a lot less pressure.

If you miss this opportunity, I don't know how much time it will take to get the same amount of benefits.

Merlin doesn't want to waste too much time on these things, and if she wants to be rewarded, she has to give enough, which is very simple. As for other things, she didn't think about it that much for the time being...... Even if she recognizes her ancestors and returns to her ancestors at this time, those things will not be hers, but will be found by family affection.
