Chapter 119: The Secret (Xie Struggle's Xiao Lei)
PS: Thank you for the reward, I feel that it is a lot more energetic to write
On the second day, Bird just opened his eyes in a daze, only to hear the attendant next to him remind, "My lord, the middle-aged man who entered the palace yesterday is now waiting outside."
Bird quickly closed his eyes again, pretending not to hear what the attendant had just said.
"Young lord, how did you sleep last night!" the middle-aged man opened his hand as soon as he entered the door, and shouted at the top of his voice.
"It's okay, it's okay," Bird nodded perfunctorily, pretending not to see the man's outstretched hand towards him.
"What's the matter, but have you thought about it?" the middle-aged man looked like an old god, and seemed to have the chance to win.
When Bird saw this, he also felt as disgusting as eating half a fly. Although he also knew that he couldn't refuse this transaction, he was indeed disgusted when he saw the middle-aged man's reaction.
"The price of these five gold coins, isn't it a little too high?" Although he knew the smell, Bird had to go up head-on.
"I wonder what the price is in the lord's heart?" The middle-aged man kicked the ball back to Bird, and said it even more nakedly.
"Two!" Bird also stubbornly quoted the lowest price first.
Bird has also seen this thing, it is nothing more than an offer from both sides one by one, and finally reaches a price that both parties are satisfied with.
After Bird quoted the price of two, he waited for the middle-aged man's offer, and made his own changes according to his offer.
"The price is not unacceptable"
"Hmm~hmm?" Bird was also stunned by the reaction of the middle-aged man in front of him, why did this person suddenly speak so well?
"But we have one condition"
"I heard that not long ago, there was a sudden outbreak of an epidemic in the city of Stanlow, and there was no one to cure it. But thanks to the fact that you found a solution to this problem from the notes of the previous lord."
'Want this cure?' Bird said to himself.
"We want to take a look at the notes of the previous lord, and want to know how the previous lord discovered this disease and how it was treated, I wonder if the lord is willing?"
The middle-aged man said this very politely, but Bird really didn't have the notes left by the so-called previous lord, and he didn't expect that his momentary words that were just to cover up the effect of the space were really taken seriously by everyone.
Seeing that Bird didn't speak, the middle-aged man thought that there was something unsightly written on this note, so he continued, "We are not embarrassed lord, we only read the content related to this disease, and we don't read anything else."
"If you can, we can give this slave to the lord for free!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said fiercely when he saw that Bird still didn't speak.
'If only I had!' Bird rolled his eyes a few times, but he didn't really have the note.
"I've only glanced at this note, and that was years ago. Because I don't remember the details, it took several days to prepare the medicine for the treatment. If you want to take notes, I can only tell you the truth, this note is indeed missing. Bird spread his hands and expressed helplessness.
"If you still want to know this, if you want to believe me, I'm willing to tell you everything I know" Bird also seemed extremely honest, if the guy in front of him really wanted the relevant information of this disease, he could get a copy of the analysis data obtained in the space.
But when these words fell on the ears of the middle-aged man, it was a different taste, the lord in front of him, young but scheming, opened his eyes and said nonsense without blinking, he obviously did not believe what Bird said.
"It's not that we don't believe in the lord, it's just that since the lord said that he only groped with vague memories, the credibility of this information is questionable, and we need a credible and true information" The middle-aged man stared at Bird word by word.
"I can't help it," Bird shrugged his shoulders and expressed helplessness, in fact, he also sighed in his heart. Although I don't know what the person in front of me wants to borrow the information about this disease, at least I have an opportunity to get rid of the order in front of me, but now it has been lost in vain.
"I wonder if the lord saw something fly by from Stanlow the other day?" the middle-aged man abruptly changed the subject.
"I don't know"
The few words of the middle-aged man "Strange beast, black mist" directly reminded Bird of what happened outside the misty forest that day. The collapsed walls and the sick refugees were brought by the black fog.
But the memory was only a momentary thing, and Bird covered it up well. However, he was still caught by the middle-aged man, and it was obvious that Bird knew some inside information.
"I don't know," Bird shook his head to indicate he didn't know. The matter of the strange beast and the misty forest, and the people who flew over the misty forest that day, Bird felt that there were too many doubts in it, and he did not dare to talk nonsense until he understood the danger.
"Your Excellency, it's not interesting to say that."
"Let me explain it to the lord, the main purpose of my visit this time is to find this strange beast, even if the lord keeps his mouth shut, is it possible that the subjects of the territory will keep silent?
"I'm just trying to find this beast as soon as possible with the help of the lord. Even if I can't find it, it doesn't mean that others can't find it."
"Now that this beast has caused such a catastrophe to Stanlo City, why does the lord still protect this beast?"
"If the lord has something that needs to be satisfied, although we will try our best to meet the lord's request, this slave is not a problem to give away for free" The middle-aged man looked extremely generous, completely creating a feeling for Bird that as long as you speak, any condition can be satisfied.
"I didn't see much clearly in the palace that day, I think you'd have to ask the people of the city how they are, and if you need it, I can call someone to help you" Bird pressed his eyelids together, as if he had never heard what the middle-aged man had just said, and he didn't say anything anyway.
"Didn't Lord Bird just go to the Misty Forest that day?" the middle-aged man asked by name.
"When the beast flew out, I was so timid that I threw myself to the ground, fainted, and woke up without knowing anything" Anyway, what Bird is implementing now is that he doesn't respond to this question head-on, even if he has been broken by this middle-aged man, he still finds a reason to cover it up.
What was Bird worried about? He remembered the beast, the Misty Forest, and the contents of his secret room. He wondered why the previous lord had bought the last batch of slaves on a regular basis, and why the man in front of him had been asking about it.
When all these things were taken together, Bird was still confused, but he clearly sensed that this thing should not be exposed to sunlight and should not be said to others.
