Chapter 125: The Loyalty of a Blood Money
"You may be seated, Mr. Bobcat. I've heard from tarantulas, and in your current state, you're doing a good job. Hela sat elegantly at the table, in front of a delicate ceramic teacup and a teapot of the same material. I don't know if it's to mimic the relationship of the big witch, even if the young witches don't rely so much on the soup pot, they are always drinking. Even this habit has affected ordinary people to some extent, and being able to drink a pot of black tea leisurely in the afternoon is a symbol of status and status.
"Thanks to the lady's compliment, I just eat with my mouth, and it is my duty to do things cleanly. The bobcat was polite, but his body landed unceremoniously on the expensive velvet chair. This reaction upset Saich, who was beside him, but Hela gently raised her hand to stop the boy. And all of this was seen by the bobcat, oh, what a loyal dog.
Hela noticed the bobcat's slightly raised eyebrows and a sarcastic smile on his face. She knew what the sailors thought of the ordinary people who chose to serve the witches. However, what does it matter, respecting this thing is not worth a lot of money in Heartbreaker Bay, "Even so, those who are capable should still be rewarded." It's a matter of course. The witch nodded, and Sach reluctantly took a coin from the box in the corner, a dark red coin, and solemnly placed it on a tray and sent it to the bobcat.
The intelligence monger's eyes narrowed, it was a blood money. In Heartless Bay, no one knows this kind of coin, and it can even be said that the foundation of Heartless Bay today is built on blood money. Blood money, which is not essentially currency, is a magic item, a magic item that can summon a kraken. The use of blood money is very simple, as long as the ship sails out of the sea, and then throws the blood money into the sea, the kraken who hears the sound of the coin falling into the water will come and take the blood money, and then carry the ship through the misty sea. This is a pact between a witch and a kraken. And blood money is the concrete manifestation of this contract. Therefore, the value of a piece of blood money is the profit of a voyage, and it is self-evident what kind of value this has in the eyes of those merchants.
"Gollum" Lynx swallowed, Rao is conceited and experienced, and the witch's reward this time is too rich. It was so rich that he wanted to pretend to be stupid and reach out and take this blood money. But he couldn't, the intelligence dealer sighed and shrunk into the soft chair, "My lord, don't embarrass me in this way, this thing is too tempting." Or, if you really want to test me, why don't you add another one? ”
Hela smiled, the witches believe in one thing, that is, there is no bad money and bad power in this world, and if money and power cannot buy this person, it can only be said that the weight of these two is not enough. But the witches also know another thing, that if you want someone in this world to do things for you, you don't need his absolute loyalty, as long as you let him do something outside the scope of his abstinence. And for the current Hela, all she needs is the loyalty of the lynx. "Saich, put things back. ”
The boy nodded, and took the blood money under the complicated gaze of the intelligence trafficker. "Can you tell me why?" Hela opened her mouth to draw the lynx's attention back, "Why did you refuse my offer?" she looked at the thin man opposite, and had already deduced his addiction through the various traces on the other party's body, but strangely, sorbber suckers generally do not have such a strong will to resist the temptation of money, in their eyes, a blood money is a whole box of blubber.
"Hey, that's it. Isn't that a sure thing, after all, you weren't the one I was talking to about the deal with. So I can ask now, where is Mr. Tarantula?" said the bobcat, his eyes half-closed, seemingly casual. However, his fingers were already gripping the armrests of the chair, and if the witch's answer was incorrect, he would immediately bounce out of the seat.
"Didn't Sach tell you? He's right here. Hela took a sip of her tea, looked past the bobcat and looked behind him at the door where Lothar was walking in. "You have a good eye for people, and this person can use it. But it's just usable, and I can't be at ease with an intelligence dealer and a smoker. ”
"There is no need for complete peace of mind. What we want him to do is not difficult in itself. Lothar walked past the lynx and sat down in her chair. The latter looked at the Count with a strange look, for from the tone in which he spoke, the man seemed to be in an equal relationship with the witch. And in Heartless Bay, no one is equal to witches.
"Mr. Tarantula, you'd better give me an explanation. "It's not a joy to be tempted by others," the lynx stared at Lothar with dissatisfaction in his tone.
The Earl smiled bitterly, "Actually, I didn't do it on purpose, I just went to check his injuries, please forgive me." As to why this lady did that, it has to do with what I'm going to entrust you with next. Hearing Lothar's words, the lynx hurriedly waved his hand.
"If you don't listen, you hurry up and give me the payment, and I'll leave immediately. I don't know who I saw or heard here. If you don't worry, then cut out my tongue, anyway, the witch will pull down her face to test me, this matter will probably have to take my life, compared to this tongue is cheap!" "This is a scoundrel, if this intelligence dealer really wants to leave, he will leave just now, and now he is putting on this appearance of not entering, it is nothing more than trying to raise his value." You know, since the witch took out a blood money to test him, how can the reward for this matter be about a blood money, and a blood money, I don't know how many lives can be bought in Heartless Bay.
"It's not going to be easy, Sach, pulling out his tongue. Hela sneered and commanded the boy. Lothar quickly stood up and waved at Sach and Hela, the wry smile on her face was even worse, "Don't, it's hard to find someone to talk slowly, talk slowly." Don't worry, Lynx, listen to what we want you to do, and then decide whether to take it or not. But before that, I'll give you the money for this commission. ”
The coins jingled against each other in the hands of the intelligence dealers, and the lynx glanced at the reward in his hand, and then looked up at Lothar, "Aren't you afraid that I'll just leave?"
"Don't be afraid, because you are confident in your craft. You know there's a lot you can do in this city, and you're asking for more, so you're not leaving. The Count said calmly. Greed, this is a character that everyone has, and this is not necessarily manifested in money, and those things that are called original sin are actually almost all derived from greed, right? But the price is never calculated that way.
The lynx was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lothar to say these words, originally he thought that this man was just... No, how could someone who could speak to a witch in a reciprocal tone be a simple fellow?" the thin man laughed, "I'm kind of blind, I only care about looking at the tattoos on your body, and forget to look at your eyes." It's my fault, tarantula, I shouldn't have asked such a stupid question. ”
"So, let's talk about this second deal. ”
