Chapter XVIII Two Invitations

"Your Excellency...... Maybe I can privately suggest that the city lord Angulo come here once. Borlando suggested softly.

Miliana rolled her eyes, "Hmm, do you think he'll take it?"

"Naturally, he has been cornered by Lord Polidaro for the past two days. If I could see a glimmer of redemption from you. He wouldn't be stupid enough to give up. Moreover, this is all his spontaneous approach, you just need to stick to the plan set at the beginning and give him some protection if he pays enough benefits. I don't think Polidaro will blow you in the face by then. ”

"He's had enough 'gains', what's the reason to be insatiable. If he has any grievances in his heart, he can go to Lord Dominic, the commander of the Divine City. ”

"And there may be another benefit to wooing Angulo. I've heard the news that Angulo's family may have half a bottle of diluted World Tree sap hidden inside......"

"What are you talking about?, the sap of the World Tree?" Rice Anna's breathing couldn't help but shorten.

"Yes. You know...... The sap of the World Tree is the best healing elixir, and although the sap in their house is diluted, the effect is still amazing. Compared to other alchemy potions, it will still be many times stronger. Borlando said.

Miriana's tone immediately became serious, "Why are you saying this to me?"

Borlando lowered his head and said, "My lord, I'm not inquiring into your private affairs, but there are many materials in the list of alchemy materials you asked me to collect, and many of them have never been able to be purchased, and my priest in charge of alchemy told me that they are only used to make high-grade healing potions with ancient recipes." However, many of the materials have lost their sources and are extremely difficult to collect. But I think you need these materials, and in the final analysis, you still have to make a wound potion, and with the sap of the World Tree, it must be better than any kind of wound potion. ”

Miliana looked at him suspiciously and asked, "The sap of the World Tree, even the Natural Temples only have a very small amount of reserves in a few temples, and I don't have a chance to get them." Why would a city lord of Sulujaya in Angulo have such a thing?"

"Do you remember Angulo's slightly pointed ears? He is a half-elf with thin blood, although the elven blood has degraded a lot, but the mother of one of his ancestors has a high status in the elven kingdom, I heard a rumor a long time ago from some secret sources. Angulo's ancestor was in poor health when he was a child and almost died, and his father and mother paid a lot of money to get a few drops of World Tree sap from the elves, and then mixed it with water brewed from various expensive healing herbs to get a diluted bottle of World Tree sap. When that ancestor was a child, he only used half of it to cure his body's stubborn diseases. The remaining half of the bottle is stored as a treasure. Their family has a precept that this bottle of World Tree sap can only be taken out when it is time to preserve the continuation of the family. Isn't this the right time?"

"If it's such a big secret, how do you know so well?" said Miliana, looking at him coldly.

"Angulo has an uncle who is a loser, and he learned this secret by chance, and once wanted to steal this bottle of juice and sell it to my father, the previous chief priest of this temple, but before he could make a move, he was killed by Angulo's father. Although my father knew the news, he did not want to trouble their family, because the Assassin of Light Kiros was still alive at that time, and he had a good relationship with Angulo's father. Naturally, my father would not risk offending a saint to inquire into this matter, but the situation is very different now. You have a good reason to get him to give this bottle of sap. ”

Miliana squinted slightly, looked at Borlando for a moment, and said, "You're a little nervous. ”

"No one can stand in stride under your gaze. After all, it's just a rumor, and I'm worried about disappointing you. But after all, this is only an added benefit, even if the information is not true, he will pay other prices. I would imply that he already had a number of people who knew the news, and that he would understand that the only way to protect him was to hand over the bottle of World Tree sap. ”

"Hmph, I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"You must have been exposed to the scent of the World Tree, and when the time comes, you will be able to tell the difference between the real and the fake. Borlando said.

"Then you can do it. You can move faster, lest Polidaro be in a hurry to do something bad. Jasmine continued to command in an indifferent tone.

"Yes. Borlando nodded in agreement.

"How's that guy Agourto?" asked Miliana.

"He's been active in the surrounding towns and villages...... It's just ......" Borlando paused, looking a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter, just tell me what's going on. ”

"One of the surrounding towns and three villages could no longer withstand Lord Agulto's actions. Refugees began to appear coming to the city. ”

"What's going on? I heard that the other day he was just venting, to the point of forcing people to flee?" said Mirianachi.

"Earlier, some of the things that the Sage of Agurto did, the villagers could still be patient, but recently he has started to loot wealth, and now many people have died. I'm afraid that if this continues, it will have a very bad impact on the reputation of the Divine City and the Temple of Nature. Borlando said.

Miliana frowned and said, "It must be the same trick as Polidaro, but Agulto is much rougher." ”

"If it's in some remote place, then forget it, but the news spreads quickly among the southern city-states, if a dozen people die, we can still put the hat of the remnants of the false gods on their heads, and if they are killed, they will be killed. But if this continues, it will be difficult for people to believe that there are so many remnants of false gods, and it will be difficult to even cover them up. Borlando said in a deep voice.

"What do you think about this??"

"If it's convenient for you, you can leave me a message as a token, and I can go and remind Master Agurto, it's best to ask him over too, and you can warn him again in person, what do you think?"

"Yes. Miliana took a gramophone from the storage ring, said a few words into it, and tossed it to Borlando.

"I'll take care of this for you. ”

"You can step back and help me clean up my bed. Miriana said.

Borlando finally dared to look up at the bed, where a handsome young man lay between the futons, but he was already dead with his eyes open and looking at the ceiling.

This is the fifth, Borlando thought to himself, no one will survive until the next morning. But he said, "I'll help you clean up your room." ”
