Chapter 168: After-the-fact Transactions
The crowd rushed to Popsal Hill and found the bottom of the mobile tower, where the corpse was almost crumbled into a mess.
Since he had been shot in the head and then hit his face on the ground, Noh was no longer able to match the blurry corpse with the photos sent by the Life School on his phone.
However, according to the transcendent characteristics condensed on this guy's corpse, it seems to be a combination of life IV + spirit IV + mind II from the intuition of the same order.
This guy is actually a lv.10 soul singer, but fortunately he was sniped by long-range means, otherwise it would definitely be very troublesome to fight at close range.
Putting away the extraordinary properties of this lv.10, Nono turned around and asked:
"What's next?"
If this guy is still alive, then of course he can directly search the mind body and torture the high-level formulas of life and spirit bodies.
But this guy is dead, the mind and body have disintegrated, and the "superego" containing memories has sunk to the bottom of the subconscious ocean, close to the Styx, which is no longer within the reach of mental abilities.
You have to use the ability of the "Necromancy" sequence, which is the main sequence ability of the Spirit Order.
In fact, as for why this guy defected, it was rumored in the forum that the Spirit Order let this guy steal the life formula and quickly commit suicide, so that the memory would sink to the bottom of the subconscious ocean, and then the Spirit Order used the "necromancy" ability to salvage and resurrect it into a corpse witch to get the corresponding formula information.
After all, it's easier to die than to run away. In this way, the school of life is completely unable to stop him.
The only problem is that the person doesn't seem to want to die and turn into a gho, hence the mutiny and the next mission.
Asker took out a gold coin and stuffed it into the corpse's mouth. After a few moments, a small boat slowly emerged from the reflection of the pool of blood on the ground.
The ferryman held the boat up at the stern, while Appilios stepped out of the boat, stared at the corpse for a long time, and said slowly:
"You're doing a great job."
"It's a predetermined payment." Two bottles of potion from a long-necked vial appeared on the ground next to the boat.
"Grandpa!" Sheila shouted.
"I know what you said last time." Apperius said, grabbing at the corpse on the ground as if he had grabbed something, and then carefully tucked it into his sleeve.
"Your Excellency, Lord of the City." Asker spoke, "Now that the mission has been completed, the reward is settled. I wonder if we can talk about another business? ”
"What business?" Appilius remained silent.
"We want you to read the third and fourth level formulas of the life sequence, and the third and fourth level formulas of the spirit sequence that you read from this corpse's memory." Asker replied, "In exchange for this, it's a piece of information. ”
"A very important piece of critical information related to what Sheila said before is likely to be related to the future direction of you and other forces on the continent."
The last time Sheila reminded Apelios, she naturally suspected that someone took advantage of the fact that Olympia City was attacked by a demon tide and took advantage of the chaos to lure the dark elves into the city. She believed that someone was trying to muddy the waters, so that she could quietly replace someone in the chaos and lurk at the side of the lord of the city, Apperius.
Judging from Apperios' answer and attitude just now, it seems that Sheila's suspicions are not groundless, and the city lord has already discovered that there are some people around him who are wrong, so he will most likely be more interested in relevant information.
Coupled with the fact that the recipe is no better than potions, as knowledge itself is costless. If you are not an extraordinary person in this sequence, there will be no demand for recipes at all, so the price can fluctuate very much.
Therefore, Asker wanted to try to see if he could get these recipes from the other party, and then dismantle them according to the characteristics he had just obtained to make the potions that he needed later.
Sure enough, Appilios smiled slightly:
"You can tell me the information first, and then I'll judge the value."
Asker: ..................
How is it an overlord clause again?
In the face of the demigods, he does not have the strength to bargain at the moment, and rashly refusing will only damage the relationship between the two parties, and it will be useless. Besides, it is his side that urgently needs the follow-up formula, not that the other party urgently needs relevant information.
But fortunately, this is Sheila's grandfather, at least he won't come to trap him openly. Otherwise, it will only make Sheila difficult to be a person in the team.
So Asker said in a deep voice:
"There is credible information that the Emperor of the HRE Empire, Otto, decided to wage war against the Holy See because he had been bewitched by some kind of long-term and secret psychic trick."
Girls: ..................
Wait, isn't this the information that the Succubus Queen gave us? You just sold it to Sheila and her grandfather? Isn't that a bit ......
…… A little shrewd, huh?
"Hmm." Not only did Appilius immediately fall into a deep groan, but even the ferryman at the stern of the boat was a little surprised, and let out a laugh of unknown meaning, like a gasp.
Emperor Otto, the lord of the empire, could be secretly affected by people for a long time?
There is no doubt that even the slightest rumor of this news will greatly change the future situation of the entire world and affect the judgment of the upper echelons of the continental countries.
"This information...... plus Theodora's previous reminder, I can give you the most I can do with the recipe for Life III and Astral III. Apperios finally said, "However, if you can find out who is influencing Emperor Otto's mind, then this information will be enough to exchange the recipe for Life IV." ”
"If you can bring this person to me, whether life or death, then you can even exchange it for a vial of Spirits IV. You should understand the connection between this. ”
Askexin said that this was the case, first throw out the III potion formula as sweetness, and then use the subsequent level IV potions and formulas to lure everyone and continue to risk in-depth intelligence for him.
The old treacherous and cunning, sure enough, is the old treacherous and cunning, and the succubus queen is completely the same tone.
However, since Apperius is willing to make an offer for this, it also confirms Asker's previous judgment:
Sheila's guess is true.
There is indeed a certain force that took advantage of the dark elves to disrupt the city of Olympia, and planted shadows around Apelios, such as replacing his cronies or something, in an attempt to continue to affect his mind for a long time.
After Sheila's special reminder, the incident should have been discovered by Apyrios.
So when Asque said that Emperor Otto was also plotted, Apperius' first reaction was "interested" rather than "suspicious".
The reason why everyone wanted to collect follow-up information for him was also to find the bewitchers around Otto to find the black hand behind the scenes.
Of course, he had already promised the Succubus Queen anyway, and it was only natural for Asker to promise him again. He can sell more potion recipes on one side, so can't I sell more than one of the information I collected? Absolutely.
Asker nodded in agreement. So, after giving two potion recipes, Apyrios took the ferryman's boat and disappeared again into a pool of blood.
The people of the Azure Sword quickly left in a hurry after clearing the traces of themselves and others around them.
All the way back to the small town of Hessingen, with the victory of the battle and the advance of the front, the level of martial law in the town of Hesingen at this time was also much relaxed.
Asker found the stall that rented the cell phone and said:
"Rent for another ten minutes."
"Why don't you buy one and go back." "It's not expensive." ”
Asker smiled. In another 1-2 months, the second round of magic tide is coming, and then the mobile phone will become scrap metal, do you think I don't know?
Seeing that he had no intention of buying, the stall owner could only collect the money silently and remained silent. Asker picked up the phone from last time and handed it to No.
Nordeng boarded his CM account, entered the group to look at the chat history, and sure enough, he found that the people from the Life School had noticed the change in Stuttgart and had quickly organized people to arrive in the city.
At present, I am in a daze at the green-skinned vegetative people in the streets of the city.
"Online Communication." Asker said, "And the admin of this group. ”
Nuo pressed the online communication function of CM, and after a while, the communication was connected, and a calm and hoarse male voice sounded at the earpiece:
"This is Llewellyn."
"Asker." Asker said.
There was silence on the other side: "Captain Aske, what's the matter?" ”
Obviously, the administrator of the School of Life on the other side had a comprehensive understanding of Nuo, and even investigated the list of members of the mercenary group she was in.
"Didn't you tell Noh before that you seem to be looking for some dangerous person, near Stuttgart? We happened to be on the outskirts of Stuttgart and witnessed a fierce battle on a hilltop in the distance. ”
"Directions?" The other side asked bluntly.
"South of Stuttgart, at the top of the Popsal mountain, near a certain tower."
The other side didn't answer, just hung up the communication immediately.
"It's really vigorous." Asker was a little speechless.
This guy named Lwellyn, if he remembers correctly, should be the current leader of the School of Life.
However, unlike the dictatorship of the Spirited Bishop Apelios, the School of Life is relatively decentralized and loose, with several elders above the leader, and there are many factions checking and balancing each other, so the power of the leader himself is not very large.
Four camps, four rewards, the reward given by the School of Life is the least, in short, Asker doesn't have any hope for this, so he should receive a mosquito leg.
