Chapter 693: Three-Way Deal

At this time, the carriage fell into silence, and no one spoke again.

It's just that Leo looked at this Scherf twice, and his judgment of his ability changed slightly, no longer just as a high-ranking fighter of the rebel army, but as a powerful and intelligent person.

Leo could see that what Hilford said just now seemed to be speaking to himself, but it was actually aimed at the fat man Robert, and the other party would be placed in this carriage, I am afraid it is not a coincidence, it should be intentional.

If the prediction is correct, when the fat Robert left the city of dry steel, he was already targeted by the rebels, and the rebels stopped the train here and forcibly occupied the carriage, probably all to cover up this Scherf.

Leo, who had all kinds of associations in his mind, couldn't help but be curious about Robert's identity, thinking that Robert's identity should not only be the black market manager of Dry Steel City, but he might have other identities.

"Woo~~~!"

With a loud whistle, the train started slowly and gradually moved away from the platform.

The vibration of the train seemed to say that the fat man Robert who was in deep thought woke up, and he suddenly shouted at Sherf: "You lie, even if Lady Saran appears, she can't be on the side of the rebels, don't forget, your leader is the most devout believer in the Church of the Hill King, and your relationship with the Church of the Hill King is so much behind, Miss Saran is still on the wanted list of the Hill King Church, she ......"

Fat Robert was unable to continue, for he saw that Scherf was pointing at himself at the moment.

As Sherf said, he is also a wanted person in the Church of the King of the Hill, and his wanted is much more severe than that of Saran, the king elector, after all, Saran's affairs have passed for almost two hundred years, and now the relationship between the Witch Order and the Orthodox Church is not bad, and the so-called witch hunting has long ceased to be mentioned in various churches.

Now that even a wanted person like Sherf has been accepted by the rebel army, which is made up of loyal followers of the Church of the Hill Kings, what reason does the rebel hierarchy have to refuse to cooperate with Saran?

"What is the purpose of your words to me?" After all, the fat man Robert has been a single black market executive for many years, and he quickly realized that what Scherf said was completely aimed at him, so he frowned and asked directly.

"Persuade the board of directors of Dry Steel City to join our side. Sherf said with a straight face.

Fat Robert shook his head and said, "I think you misunderstood, I'm just a black market branch manager, and I have no influence on the board of directors of Dry Steel City. ”

Sherf directly pointed out another layer of the other party's identity, and said: "As the chief observer of the board of directors, your influence on the board of directors is not low. ”

The chief observer of the board of directors of Withered Steel City is a person with a special status, he does not have any rights, and cannot interfere in the administration of Withered Steel City, but he has an extremely important person, which is to supervise the members of the board of directors to avoid the appearance of board members doing extremely bad things to other board members in order to expand their power.

The position of Observer did not exist in the past, until a greedy and vicious creature appeared on the board of directors of Withersteel City, and he tried to control all the power of the entire city by killing or intimidating other board members.

However, in the face of such a guy who threatened his life, there were no rules within the board of directors of Withered Steel City to restrict each other, and the gendarmes and police of Withered Steel City had no right to arrest members of the board, and as for other unconventional forces, the members of the board of directors at that time were far from being comparable to that bad guy.

Seeing that guy was about to control the board of directors of Withered Steel City and become the well-deserved uncrowned king of Withered Steel City, that person suddenly had an accident, and when he was inspecting the steel mill under his name, he was hit by more than a dozen steel ingots and smashed into meat on the spot.

After his death, his wife, mistress, and children all fought over his property, and the property declined, while the other controlled forces fell apart due to the sudden loss of their leader, and were wiped out by the gendarmerie and police controlled by the other members of the board.

After this incident, in order to avoid a similar thing happening again, the board of directors changed the rules of the board of directors and set up a secret observer outside the board of directors.

The observer does not have any real power until he finds out that a board member wants to mess around, then the observer can use the observer power to temporarily control the gendarmerie and the police and deal with the board member. However, there is only one opportunity to deal with a board member, after which his observer status is automatically revoked and a new observer is elected by the other board members.

However, as the number of board members increased, so did the number of observers, from one at the beginning to three now, and a chief observer with three rights.

Because of the fear that the observer will be used by other forces against the board members, the identity of the observer is kept absolutely secret in the board of directors, and only the chief of the board of directors will not know the true identity of the observer, once the identity of the observer is revealed, then the special rights of the observer will be automatically invalidated.

Therefore, when the fat Robert heard from Scherf about his other identity, he showed extreme surprise, and immediately thought of the board of directors of Withered Steel City, I am afraid that there are already people who have defected to the rebels.

Originally, the identity of the observer of Fat Robert was still a secret, but when a large number of monsters appeared in the dry steel city that day, most of the veterans of the black market bounty hunters became monsters, and the remaining bounty hunters were not only not numerous, but even the strength was not even a star and a half, fortunately, there were exactly seven or eight night watchmen here, otherwise the black market would have disappeared as soon as the monster appeared.

Because of the lack of manpower, and the monsters began to appear on the market, attacking ordinary people, so at that time, Fat Robert used his position as the chief observer for the first time, and asked the police and gendarmes to cooperate with the night watchman and bounty hunters to deal with those monsters.

Although he still maintained a secret form when he used his identity at that time, it was not difficult to guess his identity with the wisdom of those in the board, but his identity was still a mystery to outsiders, so now Scherf revealed his identity in one word, and that was leaked from within the board.

"I can't help with this matter, I'm just an observer, as long as I ask about the political affairs of Dry Steel City, the observer status will be automatically canceled. Fat Robert shook his head and said.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse," Sherf opened his mouth as if he wanted to make Fat Robert's heart move, but then he seemed to think of something, turned his head to look at Leo, and smiled: "I have a message here, I think Your Excellency Leo should be interested." ”

"Do you want to make a deal with me?" Leo said with a smile as he looked up slightly at Scherf, who had taken the matter on him.

Sherf shook his head and said, "No, I just hope that Your Excellency can be the intermediary between me and Mr. Robert, although I can prescribe some conditions to convince Mr. Robert, but of course those conditions are not as good as the wizard potion in the hands of Lord Leo." ”

Hearing Scherf's words, the expression on the fat man Robert's face changed slightly, of course he knew how precious Leo's wizard healing potion was, especially when he saw Leo how to save the transcendent a few days ago, he also found that the wizarding potion Leo had in his hand was several times stronger than the wizarding potion he sold to the black market.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he had a batch of such wizard potions on hand, then his status in the black market would still be able to take a step forward, and even entering the Council of Elders would not be a problem, and his breathing became a little short of breath when he thought of this.

Leo easily understood Scherf's intentions, and said, "You mean that you trade news with me, and then I will give him the wizard potion, and he is working with you on the matter of withering steel city to join the rebels." ”

"Yes," said Sherf, nodding, "in that case, even if Mr. Robert did us a favor, it would not be a break in his oath." ”

"You even know that oath?" Fat Robert's face was a little gloomy, and he looked at Scherf, and said, "Who has taken refuge in you, Jason, Bolev, or Lady Sally?"

Sherf didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Leo, as if waiting for Leo to make a decision, he believed that as long as Leo made a decision, then Fat Robert would not refuse, after all, no one in the current dark world could resist the temptation of a batch of wizard healing potions.

"Tell me what your message is worth, and I'll see how much it's worth?" Leo was also interested in the secret that Sherf had said, as if he could see that Sherf was confident that what he said would be recognized by Leo.

Instead of speaking, Scherf got up and took the salute off the shelf, quickly searched inside, took out an open letter, and handed it to Leo.

Leo looked at the letter and found that the letter was addressed to Sherf, the sender did not, but there was a vague address, it should have been wet by the rain, and he could only vaguely read the words Yasha County, and judging from the old nature of the letter, it should have been a letter from a few years ago.

Leo took out the letter, read it carefully, the expression on his face became serious, and after reading the letter, he asked in a deep voice to Sherf, "Is this true?"

"Absolutely. Sherf replied in the affirmative.

"Thirty bottles of wizard potions," Leo thought for a moment and said, "I'll give out thirty bottles of wizard healing potions in exchange for this news." ”

Hearing Leo's words, not only Sherf was stunned, but even the fat man Robert on the side was also stunned, and then his breathing was a little shorter, and a smile that could not be concealed appeared on his face, but Sherf's face showed a little annoyance.

Obviously, the thirty bottles of wizard potions prescribed by Leo have far exceeded the estimates of the two, and the result is that the fat Robert can be said to have earned, and Scherf has obviously lost.

Leo ignored the emotions of the two, took out the thirty bottles of wizard potions he had stored directly from the storage space, put them on the table, and then without further words, picked up the book in his hand and continued to flip through it.

He wasn't worried that Fat Robert would refuse, because even without this indirect deal, Robert would have agreed to act as a lobbyist for the rebels, all because of Saran, the king of choice.

I saw that under the painful gaze of Sherf, the fat man Robert carefully put the bottles of wizard potions into the gift box with extremely abnormal agility, and wrapped them in his clothes around them, fortunately, the bottles containing the potions were not very large, and one suitcase was just enough to fit them all, and the other clothes that were moved out of the suitcase in order to make room were thrown out of the window by him.

After putting away the things, the fat man Robert looked at Scherf, who looked a little unpleasant, and said: "The deal is done, I will help you rebels convince the board, but I must first make sure that Ms. Saran is really on your side, otherwise, even if I lobby, the board of directors will not necessarily be affected by me." ”

"Of course," Sherf collected his emotions and said, "Although this news will not be released to the public for the time being, with your black market ability, it should not be difficult to understand this matter." As he spoke, he paused and said, "I hope that Your Excellency can start this matter as soon as you return to Dry Steel City, and we don't want any accidents in the middle." ”

"Rest assured, I know how to do it. Fat Robert smiled, and then said to Sherf, "Now that the matter has been negotiated, should you live in another carriage, don't you think this carriage is too crowded?"

Hearing this, Sherf frowned, stood up, picked up the salute, and put it on the side of Fat Robert, sat on Fat Robert's bed, looked at him with a cold face, and said, "You are right, it is indeed too crowded over there, so I decided to sit here." ”

After speaking, he ignored the expression of the fat man Robert, picked up a book casually, and flipped through it.

After a few days of travel, the three of them did not talk much, and the curious fat man Robert, although he also tried to know what the news of the thirty bottles of wizard potion was, immediately shut his mouth because of the price offered by Leo.

In the past few days, the train has been running in the area under the control of the rebels, and from the sights along the road, it seems that the rebels have begun to rebuild the area, many of the buildings destroyed in the fighting have been rebuilt, the farmland has begun to be recultivated, and most importantly, the factories have begun to operate again, and the situation on the rebel side is stabilizing.

Seeing this situation, Leo was already sure that the war was coming to an end, and there was no doubt that the rebel army had begun to gain the upper hand, because judging from the news revealed by the refugees in Barrel Town, the political situation on the government army's side was chaotic, construction and production and other things were all in chaos, and more importantly, those monsters were still raging in the control of the government army, which made it difficult for the government army to stabilize the situation.
