Chapter XXXVI Intelligence Trading
Harvey's biggest purpose in writing "The Count of Monte Cristo" was to pay off the arrears, and since he had already borrowed it from Diana, it didn't matter how much "The Count of Monte Cristo" could get. To put it bluntly, he doesn't see himself as a novelist, nor does he see writing novels as his main business, and of course he can offend the largest publisher in the city of El Roy with impunity.
His greatest confidence comes from the mysterious attribute panel in his mind, with the golden finger, he has the confidence that he can develop towards the magic profession, why should he look at the face of a mortal in the fiction industry? If he doesn't have a stat panel and no access to magic, then he will definitely obediently accept Bellok's suggestion, or delay the release, at least increase his capital in this world.
At noon the next day, Diana kept her promise and brought 10,000 balun pounds, the largest face value of the balun pound is 10 pounds, the thickness of 1,000 balun pounds is equivalent to 100,000 RMB, and the actual value is almost the same, 10,000 balun pounds is almost a year's expenses of a wealthy family.
After getting the money, Harvey was silent on the surface, but he was already smiling in his heart.
In the afternoon, he contacted Leicester, a "private banker", and met him in a remote café.
······
"Three hundred and thirty-five baluns in total, and if you are sure to receive the money, please accept your IOU and proof of repayment, Mr. Adrian." With the money, Lester quickly handed over a contract to Harvey, with an IOU from Harvey Adrian and a proof of repayment.
"From now on, we're both clear." Harvey took the contract to confirm the above.
Lester squinted his eyes and looked at Harvey and said slowly: "Speaking of which, I have a piece of information here that may be of interest to Mr. Adrian, and I personally guarantee that it is definitely worth the money, as long as Mr. Adrian is willing to pay 100 balun pounds, I will be happy to continue trading with you." ”
Harvey looked away from the contract in his hand, stared at Lester, who was dressed as a gentleman and looked harmless, and frowned: "I didn't know that you were still in the detective industry. ”
Lester spread his hands and replied indifferently: "As long as it is rewarding work, we are happy to take it, what do you think?" I can vouch for the correctness and value of the message, and it might save your life, and 100 baluns will save your life, which is a good deal. ”
"Merchants are always boasting that their goods are worth the high price."
"Mr. Adrian, you need to understand that this intelligence deal is not very necessary for me, and even I personally think that this intelligence deal will take considerable risks on my side, and if you think it is not worth paying 100 baluns for this information, I can shut up now." Lester put his hands on the table, his tone low and serious, and as soon as Harvey said a word, he immediately turned and left.
Harvey still has 500 baluns on him, and he doesn't care about the concept of money, not that he doesn't like money, but thinks that the money spent is just a different way to be by his side, and the concept of spending money belongs to the kind of lavish spending. Leicester's tone was convincing, and since he said that his life was at stake, Harvey no longer insisted, and counted out 100 baluns from his pocket and handed it to him.
"You're a smart man." Lester looked back and forth at the café to make sure that no one noticed them, and lowered his voice and hurried: "I don't know what grievances you have with the Elroy family, but this time the Elroy family is completely facilitated by your borrowing money, one of their deacons ordered me to wait in a fixed place, and then meet you and lend you money, of course, this exaggerated interest rate is also the same, in fact, even if the agreement is violated, we generally only charge multiple interest instead of doubling the principal." ”
After saying that, he straightened his collar, stood up and didn't look at Harvey as he walked, and said, "Then, I look forward to working with you next time." ”
The Elroy Family!? Why do you have anything to do with them!
After Lester left, Harvey drank his coffee slowly, his face was gloomy and could drip ink, if Lester's words were true, the news was indeed a matter of life and death. Why would the representatives of the powerful of Elroy City want to attack the heir of a down-and-out family? Leicester should not have sold him such a false piece of information for 100 baluns.
"Since it's just the deacon who came forward, then this matter may not be a big deal in the eyes of the Elroy family, and it is an action before he crossed over, but from Harvey Adrian's memory, there is no place to intersect with the Elroy family. The Elroy family wanted to kill a person, and letting Lester intervene meant that the purpose was not to kill himself, but probably to want the Adrian family to decline completely. ”
"That sentence in "The Count of Monte Cristo" is good, if you want to know who harmed you, think about who is good for you to be killed, but is it good for the Elroy family to be ruined?"
Harvey couldn't figure it out, but he didn't plan to sit still, he didn't rush back to the mansion, he was also a sugar daddy now, and he originally planned to go to the [Magical Prop House] after paying off the loan. He felt a sense of crisis in his heart again, and he felt the need to learn some self-defense spells. As a descendant of a nobleman, he really can't resist the Elroy family, and the Elroy family only needs to release a word in the social world, and there will be no place for Harvey in the entire Elroy City.
But this is not the case with a mage, the status of a powerful mage is far beyond that of ordinary nobles, and it is not something that ordinary legal provisions can restrict.
It was still the same humble shop, and after walking in, Harvey went straight to the shelves with spell books, most of which were low-level spell books written in Barron. The bloated boss still looked stunned and ignored Harvey as a guest.
"[Illusion], Illusion Department, First Order, can produce up to 100 Cos volume.
[Detection Magic], a prophecy system, Tier 1, can be used to search for special information within a radius of one meter.
[Photosphere], plastic energy system, zero order, can make a light ball with a radius of five meters.
[Invisible Light Crossbow], a change system, first order, can manipulate arrows or other light substances to make them fire, and the shooting power is equivalent to that of a light crossbow.
[Poisonous Bite], spell system, first order, can create a poisonous snake composed of special energy, the person bitten by the poisonous snake will be affected by muscle paralysis for a short time and die within an hour. ”
It's basically some low-level spells, Harvey is pleased that there are a few that seem to be a little bit powerful, after thinking about it, he feels that he needs to learn offensive spells, and the most lethal of these spells is the [Poisonous Bite] of the first-order spell system, which should be more than enough to deal with ordinary people.
