Donner was unprepared when he met Pompey's brother, and he was a little stunned before responding: "Fortunately, I will be lucky." ”

"Before I arrived in Nice, I heard that the master was working on a way to increase the production of grain, which was remarkable. "Otto is thin-looking, soft-spoken, and looks like a scholar.

"It's just a little personal interest, and it may not really be effective. Donner said politely.

"The master's mind alone is enough to be admirable. ”

Donner smiled slightly, and stopped continuing this senseless flattery and prevarication.

"Master O'Do, Master Kevin, I have a bottle of Duran wine that has been stored for more than ten years, and I haven't had a suitable opportunity to open it, and it's rare to meet two distinguished guests at the same time today......" Pujok said politely, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, leading Donner and Odo to the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, Donner knew that what he said was just an excuse, and he was afraid that there was something hidden to talk about, so he deliberately avoided the idle people and so on. Just looking at him like this, it really doesn't look like he was once injured by Odo's brother.

"You may be seated. Pujock led them to a private reception room and turned to get the wine himself.

"The Master isn't a Kaios, is he?" asked Otto casually, as if to fill in the awkward silence.

"Well, I'm coming from the west. ”

"It turns out that the master is from the west, and I used to go to the west when I was young. ”

Donner let out an "oh" and didn't answer his words. He had not been to any other part of the West except Huls, and he was afraid of showing his feet.

At this time, Pujok had already fetched the wine, "Master Kevin, Lord Otto is a famous walker, and there is probably no place in the whole Middle-earth world that he has not visited. As he spoke, he opened the bottle and filled three crystal glasses.

"Haha, Master Pujok, you're laughing again. ”

"Lord Otto and Master Pujork, they seem to know each other very well......" Donner took the glass from Pujork. Asked with a smile. He guessed that the latter had brought him here, presumably to discuss matters concerning Pompeii, but he wondered why the two men knew each other so well.

"Master, I had been managing my family's shipping for the first few years, and I had met with Lord Otto until last year, when I made a mistake, and I was sent to Nice. ”

Donner nodded slightly, he didn't know yet. The "mistake" that Puyok made was precisely because he lost the whereabouts of Ruiko on the Easter.

"The magic crystal can't hide the light even if it's mixed with gravel. When Master Pujock arrived in Nice, it became even more valuable. Otto raised his glass, clinked glasses with the two of them, and then took a sip, "Sure enough, it's a fine wine......," he exclaimed.

Unlike the two of them, Donner didn't have as much experience with aristocratic drinking parties, and he didn't have much of an indifferent way of chatting. Very uncomfortable.

In his opinion, it is better to avoid the truth. Straightforward will appear to have a clear conscience. So, the wine glass touched his lips slightly, and he put it down, "Lord Odo, doesn't there be any news from Master Pompeii?"

"Hey...... Don't hide it from the master, there is indeed no news yet. ”

Pujok didn't seem to expect it either. "Master Kevin" would be so direct, his face was slightly embarrassed, but he continued to remain silent.

Donner was a little confused, the two people in front of him seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they called themselves up like this. I don't know what kind of dumb riddle it was - but one thing he knew was that there was no one lurking around, which meant that the two men had no intention of acting against him.

"Master Kevin," Pujok finally spoke, and he considered his words and said slowly, "Lord Otto means to find a way to remove the Medici family from the disappearance of Pompeii......

"Oh, that's a good thing. Donner replied calmly.

"It's just...... There's a trick to it......" Pujok mused.

"You mean, Pino?" Donner finally understood what the two of them were trying to say after so many rounds.

"Exactly. Pujok smiled.

Donner's face changed slightly, and he suddenly fell silent.

"Master Kevin," Otto reached into his arms, took out two purple magic crystals, placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of Donner, "I know a little bit about the magic potion. These can be regarded as compensation for the master. ”

Generally speaking, one orange crystal is equivalent to about 10,000 aquamarines, and amethyst is even more precious, even in the fairest way of conversion, it can be exchanged for 100 orange crystals. The two that Otto took out now were exactly equivalent to more than two million magic crystals, which was not much different from the total price given by Munch at that time.

Donner knew the value of amethyst, but had never seen it, and even then, he only glanced at it and didn't reach for it.

"Lord Odo, Pino is an employee of the Institute. He said lightly.

Otto didn't continue to speak, still smiling.

Pujok was a little anxious in his heart: "Master Kevin, the meaning of the family is that they don't want to get into this trouble. ”

"Master Pujok, you're too worried," Donner leaned back slightly, leaning back in a more comfortable position, "the Bell Institute is my private property, and Pinault is my employee. I'm just a partnership with the Medici family, isn't it?"

Pino would rather sacrifice his life than keep the "secret" that Donner had inadvertently revealed. Donner could not give up Pino for the sake of the two amethysts in front of him, or for less trouble.

"Master Kevin," Otto still miraculously kept smiling, "I admire your ideals, and even a little annoyed that I didn't become your collaborator. I hope you understand that by doing this, I am helping you and helping you avoid my father's wrath. ”

"Pino was sent back by Master Pompeii's men, and I think you already know about it from Master Pujok. ”

"The point is not who sent Pino back, but that there has to be someone responsible for my brother's disappearance. ”

"This person shouldn't be Pino. Donner replied, still in a light tone.

"Master...... That's the least price. ”

Pujok also explained with embarrassment: "Master...... None of us wanted anything like that to happen in Pompeii, but now that it's happened, we have to find a way to fix it. Lord Otto is right, this is the least price. ”

Donner let out a long breath, as if he had made up his mind, and sat up straight from his chair, "Lord Odo, I'm afraid that in your opinion, Pino's life is much cheaper than that of you and me. Unfortunately, I don't think so. Since you need someone to take responsibility for your brother's disappearance," he said, taking a sip from his glass, "I'll be the one to be the one." ”

With that, he got up and left his seat and went downstairs, leaving Otto and Pujock speechless. (To be continued.) )
