Kaduma squinted his eyes and tapped lightly on the table, as if hesitating to explain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a long while, he took a deep breath and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "You should understand a truth, what you haven't heard of doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The world we live in hides a lot of secrets, and my grandfather's grandfather happened to discover one of them. ”

"Secret?, you mean, only your family has the raw materials and concoction methods for this life-prolonging potion?" Lu Li was obviously a little unconvinced, with undisguised suspicion on his face.

You must know that the life-prolonging potion is not anything else, but a treasure that all intelligent beings crave, if anyone finds a substance that can prolong life and makes it into a potion, unless it is never taken out and traded, otherwise it is theoretically impossible to keep the word secret.

The reason is very simple, whether it is out of the survival instinct of life or the greed in human nature, people who have drunk potions will definitely try to grab it and try to study whether they can break through the limit and live forever.

I don't know what others think, anyway, he definitely has such an impulse right now.

"Hehe, you must be wondering how we kept it a secret, right?" Kaduma asked with a smile.

Lu Li nodded lightly: "That's right! I don't think you can keep this secret at all." Is there anything else I don't know about?"

"I'm sorry, but the secret is a secret because very few people know about it.

All I can tell you is that my clan has a mechanism in place so that even if someone tortures me or kills me, they won't get anything.

In my grandfather's time, there was a powerful prince of the Hoyle Empire who tried to seize the secret of the life-extending potion, and even tortured two of my uncles to death.

But guess what happened to this prince in the end?

His wife, children, friends, and relatives were all killed overnight, stripped naked and hung at the door of the mansion, and he himself chose to commit suicide in pain and remorse.

The emperor turned a blind eye to this, and the nobles collectively fell silent, and everyone seemed to have no idea what was happening.

Since then, the entire Hoyle Empire has kept their mouths shut about the existence of the Life Extension Potion, and no one dares to pay attention to it anymore.

Also, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to threaten you, I just want to tell you that the reason why I dare to take out the life extension potion as a bargaining chip in the transaction is naturally capable of keeping it a secret. ”

With that, Kaduma took a cup and drank the rest of the coffee, then sat quietly on the couch and waited.

There is no doubt that instead of answering the question head-on, he told a little story full of suggestiveness.

Lu Li touched the stubble that had grown on his chin in the past few days, and looked at the fat man's somewhat fat, cunning, and cute face, trying to find signs of bravado, but in the end he found that the other party was afraid, nervous, and anxious, but he was not flustered.

This most likely means that he is not lying and that everything just mentioned is true.

Sensing this, Lu Li put the crystal bottle back into the box, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha! Shouldn't I feel honored? If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time you've taken out a life extension potion as a trading chip, right?"

"Oh, am I that obvious?" Kaduma subconsciously touched his cheek.

"Yes, very obviously. First, you're sweating all the time, second, there's intense fear in your eyes, and finally, and most importantly, your heart rate has doubled in just a few minutes. To sum up, I judge that this is the first time you have made such a risky move. Of course, there is a small chance that the potion in the bottle is fake. But I don't think you'd be stupid enough to use a trick that is so easy to debunk. Lu Li directly broke all the abnormal reactions of the fat man.

The so-called observation of words and emotions is to judge the mental activities of a person through his abnormal behavior.

Although it sounds easy, it is very difficult to practice, and you have to constantly interact with various people, pay attention to their reactions in different situations and situations, and finally summarize your own set of experiences.

To put it bluntly, it is more contact, more observation, and more thinking, and all three are indispensable.

In the past, in order to sell those messy things to customers, Lu Li didn't read less books on behavioral psychology, so he still has a lot of skills in this regard, at least if a person is lying, he can tell with seventy percent certainty.

Kaduma smiled wryly and sighed, "Well, I'll admit you guessed right. From my grandfather's grandfather to me now, the family has actually only made four transactions, and each time it was for the rise and expansion of the family. I didn't think I'd ever have such an opportunity in my life, but who knew you would suddenly show up. ”

"Why did I choose me?" Lu Li asked with interest, pointing to his nose.

"There are many reasons for this, but the coveted goods are just one of them, along with the attitude of the guild elders and the three major adventurer legions towards you.

I've traveled back and forth between Kempera and Kaba, the capital of the Hoyle Empire, countless times, and I've never seen anyone get so much attention, let alone be an adventurer for a few months before they can get the command granted by the guild.

What's even more interesting is that so far you have not been seen as a threat by many people, and even ordinary adventurers and residents are complimenting you on your great contributions.

Some rumor you have the potential to become a strong man, while others say that you come from a rich continent at the end of the far and endless sea.

I don't know if they're right or not, and I don't care where you're from.

All I know is that you are a great investment, but unfortunately, you don't seem to be short of money at all, so I have to settle for the next best thing and become your close friend and partner. ”

In the end, Kaduma's tone revealed deep regret, as if Lu Li was not a poor bastard, and what a loss he had caused.

"Since you want to be friends with me, let's start by building initial trust. I'll do a demonstration first......" Lu Li took out the notepad he was carrying, tore off one of the pages, signed his name in the lower right corner, and handed it to the other party. "Take it, feel free to write on the front of this piece of paper what you want to buy, in any quantity, as long as you can afford it. I'm sure you've heard that I only accept gold. ”

Kaduma cautiously took it and asked incredulously, "Can you not go to the pharmacy now to test the effect of the life extension potion?"

"No, as I said, it's the first step in building trust. Lu Li pretended to spread his hands generously.

"Okay, then I'll also express my sincerity. The fat man turned and pointed to his daughter. "From now on, Kassandra will be by your side, it doesn't matter if you make her a maid or manage your accounts, you can kill her at any time if I do anything to deceive you in the future. ”
