Chapter 140: Work

"Give the poison to those who want to live the most?" said One-Eye, playing with the bottle containing the "antidote" identified by Cheese as the seed of the plague.

"How much did you sell?" asked Cheese. If the other party has already sold a large amount of this potion, I'm afraid the city is no longer safe.

"Don't worry, I don't have a lot of trust in the people who gave me this stuff either. So far, I'm not going to sell it to too many people, except for a few guys who have killed themselves. Moreover, I have a list of them in my hand. "One-Eye" clearly knew what a terrible effect it would have on the city, and indeed the country, if the potion was really the lead of the plague. As a "businessman" who relies on trading to obtain profits, if the entire blue lion is plunged into the plague disaster, I am afraid that he himself will be very troubled.

"You already knew that this so-called antidote was wrong, didn't you? That's why you believe me so easily. Cheese said that the one-eyed guy didn't seem to have intended to sell the antidote in large quantities for profit in the first place, and perhaps he knew more about it than the mage had expected.

"Me? I just don't believe there is such a good thing in this world. I don't believe that the pharmacist I met by chance could offer me something that could be called priceless at such a coincidental time. As far as I know, even the so-called ministers don't have a copy of the actual precautions in their hands. Putting his foot on the workbench, One-Eye seemed to relax a little as Cheese explained the nature of the "antidote" to him.

"Hmph, anyway. I'm here to see this so-called antidote. Now I don't seem to have any reason to continue trading with you. Then I'll go first. Cheese had already confirmed the ingredients of the "antidote" in the appraisal just now, and in the mage's opinion, although he might get more information if he continued to communicate with this "one-eyed", from his previous experience, I am afraid that he would inadvertently reveal more information to him. The other party is a sophisticated businessman, but he is not yet a good bargaining buyer.

"Please wait, Mr. Wizard. Unexpectedly, this time, it was the "one-eyed" who stopped Cheese from leaving, "I think I can offer you a short-term job, no, I should say that this job belongs to you." ”

"A job? But I don't think you can afford to hire me. Cheese paused, turned his head and replied.

"Haha, I know you certainly don't need money or anything like that. So that's not what I've got for you, don't you think...... How's the information?You're supposed to be looking after the plague?I'm not interested in why you're doing this, but don't you want to know who sent this thing to me?You know, I claim that this antidote was obtained by the Pharmacists' Association, but you should also think that a pharmacist who wants to make extra money will never have the ability and guts to leak such a valuable potion. "One-Eye" wasn't afraid that Cheese would turn down his invitation, as he said, he knew what the mage was after. Clearly grasping the demands of the trading partner is one of the most proud skills of "One-Eye".

"Yes, but how do I think that, given the current state of the Pharmacists' Association, there is only one person who can sell this potion like you in private? Cheese said. He originally came to the royal capital to track down Baron Gray, who was supposed to die in Turbidity Town, and now according to what "One-Eye" said, the mage is ninety percent sure that this antidote was sold to him by Baron Gray.

"Uh...... It seems that you don't know anything about the Pharmacists Association. What a mistake. Cheese's reaction was clearly beyond One-Eye's expectations, as he had expected a worldly spellcaster like Cheese wouldn't care about the information. But now it seems that perhaps the mage is closer to the heart of the matter than he thinks. However, this is not a good thing for the "one-eyed". A spellcaster tracking down the origins of the plague? This is simply a door-to-door laborer.

"Okay, okay, then I'm willing to raise the price a little more. Lowering his feet on the table, One-Eye's body leaned forward, "Everything I know about this plague, and the sincere help of me and my men. What do you think of the price? I'm sure you've seen the power at my disposal, and I'm sure I can provide you with the most comprehensive and practical help compared to the other intelligence agencies in this kingdom. ”

Cheese thinks carefully about the price of the other party, and when facing an unknown opponent, the more help he has around him, the better. Not to mention anything else, the value of the shadow alone is actually worth the risk for the mage. But the matter that will make this "one-eyed" propose a transaction is probably not easy to solve.

"Tell me what I'm going to do for you?" the mage asked.

"Rest assured, it's not such a dangerous thing. "One-Eye" said, "It's just that I need you and Shadow to accompany me to the family." I have some questions for them. And I promise, the questions I'm asking will certainly be helpful for what you're doing. ”

Cheese slowly turned around and looked at the underground boss sitting in his chair. He heard a lot of words from the other person's words that would make people think about it, such as family and them.

"Let me ask if there are only three people in the family you are talking about. And...... You also bought these magical items from them, right?"

"Haha, yes. Looks like you already know whose house we're going to visit, right? By the way, some of these things I have on me are bought from them, some of them...... I took it from them by the way. And maybe because of that, the relationship between me and those ladies seems to be somewhat, uh, strained. That's the main reason why I feel compelled to visit them with me. "One-eyed" said.

"Good, good. Cheese smiled at the other man's words, but there seemed to be something else in the smile. He walked back to One-Eyed and stared at his masked eyes with only red lenses, "You want me to come with you to visit a witch who you have stolen from?!

"Don't get so excited, my wizard friend. If it weren't for the fact that there was a certain risk in the trip and I had to go, I wouldn't have offered such a heavy price. Think about it, whether or not to accept the job. "One-eyed" propped his hands under his chin, looked at Cheese's already slightly distorted face, and said unhurriedly.
