"I've been waiting a long time, Your Highness the Prince. ”
After a greeting that was not arrogant, but not very respectful, Alice, who had visited Aesop in the evening, finally welcomed the guy who dared to let Perry's pigeons unscrupulous. As expected, what broke into Alice's sight was a young man with an unruly face, and in terms of age, he was indeed about the same age as Perry.
Familiar feeling, and ...... It's really not very comfortable, but I can only endure it here. After all, in the matter of searching for the missing orc, Perry still has to ask this guy to be able to do things that his peers can barely imagine at a young age, and reach a position that is enough to make him feel proud, and that stinky ass face will be let go.
After dusting off her shirt, Aesop did not bend her knees to Perry like White did, but simply bowed her head and sat across from Perry like him, looking ready to "negotiate". Perry, who didn't have any requirements for etiquette, didn't care, just kept his face tense and didn't know what he was thinking.
"It's already night, is there anything the prince is in a hurry about visiting at this time?"
After a pause, Aesop smiled, "If it's something, the minister can think of a way." ”
"It's a pity. This time it was very important and ...... Confidential matters. ”
If Perry showed even a little childish casualness after meeting White before, then at this moment Perry became as serious as if he had been up to deal with Aesop's difficult enemy, and his words and deeds were not harsh but not casual, which also made Alice, who was standing behind him, feel a feeling called "This is the king" for the first time.
If you approach Perry casually at this time, you will really be ......
"I see, it's the minister's superficiality. "Sit up straight. Aesop's gaze began to wander over Alice and White, who were standing behind Perry, "So ......"
"It doesn't matter, they're also participants. With a wave of his hand, Perry motioned for Aesop not to care. Of course, Alice at this time was not sitting next to Perry with a big grin, otherwise she would be misunderstood by Aesop in every sense. That might have an unintended impact. Therefore, Alice's current identity is the same as White's, she is the "retinue" brought by Perry, and she ...... Enough to trust.
"Well, I can get started, I don't have much time left, so I hope you'll be serious. ”
"Yes. ”
"Orcs, you've heard of it. Without the slightest hesitation, Perry was quick to talk about his purpose. Of course, the part about Alice dreaming of a missing orc must be hidden. Other than that. Although it is not a strange thing to ask your subordinates, there are some tricks that they can't grasp, and they still have to hide them well.
"Recently, this race, which has a fairly harmonious and peaceful relationship with our humans, sent us a request for the search for two missing orcs. ”
"This is really rare, and ordinary foreigners don't like to come into contact with humans. Aesop smiled as if she had suddenly become interested. "I am deeply honored to be asked by the prince for such an important matter, so ...... What about the specific description?"
"It's two...... Escaped orcs. Judging from the last place of discovery, it is likely that they have slipped into one of our human cities near the border. ”
After a slight pause, Perry naturally began to "lie", covering up some of the true information about the identity of the missing orcs, and describing the missing "nobles" as "fugitives" with bad deeds. Probably this is also to be wary of Aesop, after all, if the truth is told, the identities of these two orcs have become "valuable". That'...... There's so much more that can be done.
However, I didn't expect Perry's serious lying to be really seamless, and if it weren't for knowing the inside story, Alice would have even been deceived.
"This is a long-lost request from the other community, and we don't want to cause a rift in the relationship between the two populations because of the refusal. And...... Let the two orcs roam our city. In some senses, it is also poorly managed, so it ...... I agreed to their request. ”
"So, Prince, the first thing you think of is to rely on my intelligence and information in the market to see if you can first find out where the other party may exist, and then look for it in a targeted manner?"
"As you say, it is. Nodding, Perry didn't have any objections to Aesop's completely correct interjection, "Of course, I also know that you are a businessman and will not make meaningless contributions. What do you need to get paid......"
"Wait, wait, Prince. This time, before Perry could finish speaking, Aesop interrupted him, "Sure enough, you are still prejudiced against us businessmen, real businessmen will not be interested in some immediate interests, I think they should pursue more long-term and stable things, I can basically get what I want, and naturally I don't need your help." What's more, after being a businessman, I am still a subordinate who must follow orders, and I hope you can take this into account in the future. However, if there is a request, I think there is one. ”
"Speak. ”
"As you can see, our means of communication are still very limited, and magic technology is not yet fully applicable, so it is necessary to easily contact each of my subordinates stationed elsewhere...... The most ordinary and basic manpower. ”
“......”
"You don't want too many people to know about this, although the chambers of commerce in various cities are all under me, but ...... They are also ambitious businessmen with sharp noses, and they will smell something if they are not careful. So the best way for me to go there is to go, of course...... I'd also like to take this opportunity to relax a bit. ”
Aesop said, "This is the only one I ask. However, it is not so much a requirement as a necessary condition to do it well. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Prince ......"
"I see, are you the only one?" Perry nodded, "There are too many people, there may be a lot of trouble, and besides, you need to find a reason to leave for a long time." If you want to keep it completely confidential, you can bring it with you. ”
"Deal, then, Prince Perry. ”
Isolt stood up as she spoke, this time bowing respectfully to Perry. Merchants are cunning, God knows, he has any other plans in mind, "Before that, I need to prepare for a while, the search for someone is extraordinary, and His Royal Highness the Prince must also be prepared to spend some time outside." ”
