Chapter 12 Negotiations between local tyrants

Although she has the ability of a blue ocean-level magic caster, the girl who lacks healing experience chooses what she sees as a more "efficient" way to rescue Amy: directly sprinkle the powerful healing potion evenly on the wound in Amy's abdomen, and then fill Amy's mouth with a bottle.

The bleeding gradually stopped. But Amy was still pale and unconscious.

"Is she okay?" Goth ran over panting.

"Very bad," said the girl, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the young merchant in a fine purple robe, "she must not be allowed to lie in such a place." Come, let's carry her in. ”

"...... around here"

"Just carry it to you. Come on! ”

Amy nearly dies trying to find Goth. The girl doesn't mind calling this guy a little more: his identity has changed, but he seems to be doing well......

……

Moment.

Goth placed Amy in a guest room on the second floor. The girl went out on her own again to clean up the blood stains on the lawn. She didn't want to cause a stir over a mistake in the details.

"How is she?" The girl pushes open the door of the "Heart of the Stars". Goth sat in a chair behind the counter.

"Not life-threatening," said Goth, "but listenβ€”we can't leave her with me." I know pastors from several churches, and I have a physiotherapist friend at Solitar Collegeβ€”"

The eight who wounded the girl was Renee, Goth thought to himself. I can't reveal her identity, so I can only compensate these two more in other ways.

"That's enough," the girl dismissed, "I can't trust them." With enough healing potions, she can recover in three days at most, isn't she? She's a sturdy warrior, and she's not a weak lady. ”

"Uh......," Goert was stunned, "you're right. ”

Enough potions?

It's not economical at all, Goth thought.

The young merchant had regained his composure and began to scrutinize the girl's outfit. It can be seen that the whole body is quite high-end goods. Look at the black leather skirt and a pair of jet-black shiny over-the-knee boots! If you have an enchantment like self-cleaning, you can't buy it without seven or eight gold coins. Of course, these are nothing compared to the healing potions of boiled water.

This little girl is really a local tyrant!

"You're not the French one," Goth, trying to make his voice colder, "sounds like Okad, and words like Empire." The dress is also new. I bought it for the French state, right? ”

"You're right," the girl simply admitted, since Renee was likely to have preempted contact with him on behalf of the Hand of the Sea of Clouds, it was pointless for her to hide her identity, "By the way, I appreciate your keen observation, but I must warn you: it is very rude to observe a lady from the bottom up. ”

Before the resourceful guy starts jumping again, he must be given a dismount, the girl thought to herself.

"I ...... I'm sorry," it seems that there are indeed too many things going on today, Goth thought sullenly, his mind almost muddy, "Do you want to sit?" ”

The young merchant stood up and went to fetch a chair for the girl. But the girl raised her hand and stopped him.

"I'm fine with that." The girl leaned against a pillar. She looked around: the closed shop was full of goods, the girl could see thick spell books, strange robes of various colors, amulets hanging from a wall, and many items that were not easy to name.

He must be very rich. Xiaowei said softly.

[It's a local tyrant. The girl agreed.

"Introduce yourself, I am Lord Ansel," said the maiden, "Baroness Victoria. ”

"The World of Light?!"

Goth was still pouring tea there, and when he heard the girl's self-introduction, he almost knocked the cup in his hand.

"I thought you could calm down." Seeing Goth's startled appearance, the girl frowned.

What's going on today? Goth thought worriedly. What day is today? First Renee came to visit in the name of "Hand of the Sea of Clouds", and then Her Royal Highness Victoria, the "World of Light" of the Empire, is it possible that after a while, there will be a legendary mage coming to find him?

"Your Highness, noble 'Bright World', majestic Glass Dragon, Your Excellency the Baroness, Your Lordship," Goth smiled wryly and bowed slightly to the maiden, "please forgive my faux pas." Under John?? Goth, I salute you. ”

I can't usually remember that I still have so many titles, the girl thought.

"I'm not your direct lord......"

"The other day I moved my household registration and some of my business connections to Anseltown," Goth said immediately, "in your name. Therefore, Lord Baroness, you are now my lord, it is true. ”

"Old man Burns didn't report to me - it looks like he's been fooled by you." The girl said.

It's true that Old Man Burns is a shrewd mercenary, but it's clearly Goth who is superior. The duke exempted his domain from taxes for three years, and many merchants took a fancy to this.

"I'm lucky to have your attention." Goth said politely, and delivered the steaming black tea to the girl.

"Oh, not just attention," said the girl, "you know what? Mr. Goth. You're in trouble. ”

When you're in a hurry to work with your goals, it's not helpful to be in a hurry to reveal your intentions. Only by making the other party realize that cooperating with you is the most cost-effective, can you reach the deal as quickly as possible.

This is Goth's business history. It's also girly.

"I think so," said Goth, helplessly, "do you have any clues?" ”

"That's what I'm here for," said the girl, staring into Goth's eyes, "trust me. If it weren't for the deep involvement, I wouldn't have ...... Bring people to meet people like you yourself. ”

"Please tell me, Your Highness," said Goth, solemnly, "if ......"

"Can you confirm that the person who just broke out of your room didn't leave a magic device in the room that could eavesdropping?" The girl asked rhetorically, "We've talked about too many secret topics. I don't want the enemies of the empire to know......"

The young businessman smiled awkwardly.

What is it exactly...... He thought with a haunted thought. Could it be that a certain magical item that he has handled is actually an artifact that has not yet been born? Or is there something big secret that your naturalist research has inadvertently involved and you haven't been aware of?

"I hope you can return to the empire as soon as possible," the girl said, "in the imperial capital, or in Yangyan City." As you can see, your Heart of the Stars shop is no longer safe. If you return to the Empire, I will be able to guarantee your safety. Once there, I can tell all the truth. ”

……

Goth was silent.

Compared with the cooperation agreement of "Hand of the Sea of Clouds", the girl's invitation can be described as evasive, just to return to her hometown. However, the young businessman did not understand that once he returned to his hometown after listening to the girl's words, it was tantamount to being kneaded by others, and no matter what conditions the other party proposed, he had to accept it.

He is indeed a wealthy businessman who is ranked among the 500 members of the Continental Chamber of Commerce, but in front of a behemoth like the empire, he has no power to resist.

The empire, the French state, the "hand of the sea of clouds", any one of them can crush his own small businessman to death.

The girl was also a little anxious in her heart. She didn't know how the "Hand of the Sea of Clouds" sensed Goth's abnormality, but since they had already begun to act, it was likely that other big forces would also make a move, either explicitly or covertly, to contact and solicit Goth, or ......

Let this "slippery businessman" disappear from the world. The girl only hoped that Got would understand that he was indeed worried about his life at the moment, and that it was not the time to sell at the price.

……

Half a day.

"Good!" Goth said.

The girl couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"One, I am thy subject," said Goth, solemnly, "and secondly, thy men have been wounded by me. I have to make amends to you. ”

"Very good......

"You're not the only one looking for me, right?" Goth said.

The girl's smile froze.

"I assure you that even if other forces come to visit me, including the French powers, I will give your request to me first."

Goth was confident that the room was not being tapped, but he knew that the girl might not think so. The young merchant dipped his hand in black tea and wrote a line of small print on the counter:

I will not work with anyone else without your consent. But because I am the weaker party, if I can't avoid negotiating with other big forces, I will give you the details. I will adopt a hypocritical strategy when dealing with them, and I hope you understand.

…… Sure enough, he thought of it.

Goth fully expected that there would be other forces that would come into contact with him. Whether he agreed to the invitation out of apology or for self-preservation, the girl said in her heart, at least he didn't fool himself with prevarication.

"I appreciate your attitude, but as soon as we ...... immediately"

"I can't go at once," said Goth, "and if I don't want my business to collapse on the French side, it will take at least three days to deal with ......it."

"That's been too long. I'll give you a day," said the maiden, "and ...... before sunset to-morrow."

"Two days!" Goth said with a sad face, "That's the least!" You can contact the mages of the Empire, and we will teleport directly to the Imperial Capital when the time comes! ”

If you can't trust me, we can sign a magic contract here...... Goth wrote on the table with tea.

"Other forces may not be as friendly as me." The girl glanced at Goth.

"I think I know how to protect myself," Gort said, "and I'm afraid not everybody is interested in me, right?" ”

This is the territory of the French State. If the French Congress comes to him, it will never let the "Hand of the Sea of Clouds" and the Empire take the lead. And as long as the official of the French power country does not make a move, there is really no force that can detain himself under the nose of the girl. Even if they don't care about the girl...... You also have to take care of the emperor and the prime minister behind the girl.

"Early the day after tomorrow, we will teleport to the imperial capital," the girl whispered, "This is my final arrangement." ”
