Chapter 251: Cooperation
On the way back, Donner deliberately got into Leona's carriage.
"I felt the need to make things clear. He looked at Leona, who was sitting across from him.
"What else is there to say?" said Leona, looking out the window.
"I don't think you've figured it out? You're trying to kill me, and I'm letting you go...... "In fact, Donner's peace of mind was partly due to the fact that Leona's brother had died at his own hands, and partly because he had taken the other person's money, which of course Leona herself did not know.
"Do you mean that I should be moved to tears?" Leona glanced at him and continued to look out the window.
"Do people like you shed tears?" asked Donner, with interest.
"What kind of person am I?"
"Isn't that obvious enough?" Donner replied, "In order to change the status quo, you can kill without hesitation, even if the other party has no grievances with you." β
"Now that you know, what else is there to say?" Leona smiled coldly. Donner felt that she was the same person he had seen that night with a leather whip.
"On the contrary, it is precisely because of this that it is necessary for us to talk. Donner looked straight at her.
"What the hell are you going to say?" Leona's eyes glared at him.
"Maybe I can help you get what you want......"
"Why should I trust you?"
"You're motivated, aren't you? I'm sure you'd be willing to give it a try, even if it's just a little possibility. β
Leona was silent for a moment before she asked contemptuously, "You don't think you can even help yourself, do you?"
Donner understood what she meant. In her opinion, she had to join the Inspectorate in order to save her life, and it really didn't look like she had the ability to help her.
"I'm special, and you're different. He replied.
Leona thought for a moment, and felt that what the other party said was not unreasonableβJohn was the only surviving child of the Sun, and in this case, it was already good that he survived. Moreover, the skills he showed before were indeed very unusual. What's more, as a genius from the Fire Sacred Academy, he has never used fire magic from beginning to end, which can't help but make people guess how strong his true strength is.
"You're not going to help me for nothing, are you?" her tone wasn't as cold as it had been.
"I knew you would be a good collaborator. Donner said with a smile.
"Tell me, what price am I going to pay?" Leona had already made a gesture of negotiation.
"Bran told me that there are a lot of people who are pursuing you...... Let me guess if it has something to do with your father's position in the Pharmaceutical Society?"
"Couldn't it be because of my beauty?" asked Leona with a smile.
"If that's the reason, you're of little value to me. Donner smiled calmly.
Leona's face suddenly turned cold as if she had been insulted.
After a while, she gradually recovered, and said softly, "You're right, it's related to potions." β
"That's good......" Donner smiled lightly, and sure enough, he guessed correctly.
"So, you're going to help me?" asked Leona.
"It's the first time we work together, so let's keep it simple. A traitor of the Fire Sacred Courtyard, do you think the Earth Sacred Courtyard will be interested?"
"You?" Leona turned her head away with contempt.
"Of course not me." Downer replied.
Leona turned her head again and stared into Donner's eyes, "Helians?"
"Yes. β
"What do you want?"
"Ten magic potions that advance to the fourth order. "As Donner said, this is only the first time to work together, so he doesn't ask for much.
"What are you kidding......" Leona shook her head coldly, obviously feeling that the deal was too unfair.
Donner leaned into her ear and whispered, "This man's surname is Lega. β
Leona shook as if she had been electrocuted, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"
"Ten fourth-order elixirs, I can arrange for you to meet directly, but you can only meet once, you'd better prepare the information you want to know in advance. β
"Are you sure it's from their family?" asked Leona again.
"You don't have to worry about this," Donner said with a smile, "but I still warn you, this cooperation alone obviously won't completely change the status quo of your family, and if you want to continue, it's best to keep your mouth shut." β
"I need to talk to my father about ......"
"Of course, but you'd better hurry. β
......
The reason why Donner chose to work with Leona is not only that Leona has enough motivation, but also because he has one more reason.
She's not stupid, in fact, she's smart.
At least, she and Zoe almost fooled Donner.
If Donner hadn't seen the other side of her on the night he borrowed the money, he might not have thought about her relationship with Zoe, and he wouldn't have realized that it was a trap.
In addition to this, more importantly, to increase the magic level of Ruikou, Una and Layla in the short term, you can only rely on potions.
The beast tide is coming, Donner is in a race against time, and he will not let go of all the resources he can use.
......
Upon returning to the manor, Donner finds Layla.
"Layla, you go back to the Holy Courtyard once tomorrow, and after finding the young lady, let her find a way to take Xia Yi to the Holy City once. β
"Young Master, didn't you ask me to draw the primitives and not stop for a day?" Layla slowly ceased to be a pure demon pet, only carrying out orders.
"This is more important than drawing primitives, remember, it will be useful for me to let Shaida know about the recent developments of the Xiaga family before she comes out. β
"Hmm...... Does the young master have any other orders?"
"By the way, ask Shaida to bring some more money. β
......
After arranging Layla's mission, Donner once again threw himself into the magic circle drawing.
On this day, he persevered until late, and only completed three first-level magic arrays, one less than the task of four per day.
However, thinking that he had an extra gain from the day, he still slept soundly.
At noon the next day, when he had just finished drawing the first magic array and was studying the physical object of the second-level magic array, the maid came in to report that the young lady who had been here before had come to visit again.
"So fast?" Donner exclaimed to himself, and then commanded Una, "Una, you don't have to come out to say hello, keep practicing." β
A few moments later, he met Leona at the gate of the manor.
"Come on......," Donner beckoned, and walked in the direction of the little garden.
This time, he was not as thoughtful as before, and even the maid who brought the tea was waved away by him.
"What did your father say?" asked Donner bluntly.
"He wanted to see the man directly. Leona replied crisply.
β...... OK. β
"When will you see you?"
"Soon, it shouldn't be more than a month. Donner estimated that Layla would be able to reach the Sanctuary in seven days, and even if she was delayed for a while, a month should be enough.
"Can you know who that person is in advance?" asked Leona.
"What do you say?" asked Donner.
Leona said with a serious face: "My father is going to take a big risk......"
"Do you think I'm not taking a risk?" Donner didn't budge.
Leona sighed and stood up: "Then I'll wait for your news......"
"Tell your father that I have to get things before he can see people......"
(A few words: I often need more than three hours to write a chapter, and I often think about it repeatedly for a few lines or a few sentences that reflect the protagonist's inner world.) Sometimes I feel that I am so tired of writing, but my grades are so poor, what's the point? Maybe I will write without a brain all the way, and if I update more, my grades will be better. Ay...... Let's ask for a commuter pass to comfort you. (To be continued.) )
