73. A drop of something was left behind
It's been so long since he came to another world, and with several contacts with Lilian, Nie Yuan actually has a certain understanding of the struggle of people like them.
He could anticipate the cruelty, and he wouldn't be exactly like a novice.
It's just that I didn't expect that Lilian really seemed to have a little pity for the city lord of Auston.
After all, she was the one who hit hardest, and she made the city lord of Auston lose everything, including freedom.
When she first met Lillian, the tone of her conversation with Buck could also be heard, as long as the city lord of Auston made the slightest move, she didn't mind at all, letting the man "kill himself" somewhere unknown.
Now he is showing such a pity, which is indeed a bit of a disobedience.
Nie Yuan looked at Count Lilian and said, "Do you want to say that many of your actions are forced by the situation and forced to be helpless?" ”
Count Lilian winked at him and said, "I didn't mean to clear my name Nie Yuan, indeed, many of my deeds are not just as simple as the situation forced them to be.
But that doesn't prevent me from having a certain amount of pity, especially after listening to the love story of Auston and Karina, I have a higher opinion of that man.
If you think that the words just now are very inconsistent with my true appearance, then as long as you like it, I can change the words.
That is, Auston is no longer the slightest threat in my eyes, and he is no different from a lost dog under my play.
Do I need to continue to deal with such a lost dog?
No, it's not necessary, even if he once wanted to bite me, but I had already broken his legs and cracked his teeth.
So once in a while, when I'm in a good mood, why not feed him some food, tease him, and satisfy my vanity a little? ”
When Nie Yuan heard this, he nodded with a little satisfaction, and said:
"This is in line with the image of Count Lillian in my heart, if you say this, I feel much more cordial, and it sounds even less disobedient."
When Count Lilian heard this, he cast a resentful gaze again, and said:
"What a man who leaves no room for nothing, am I really so vicious in your heart? Although I have to admit that I am a little cruel at times, it is not as unbearable as you think.
I used to be a kind girl, and if you can understand Karina, why can't you understand me?
I deliberately wanted to show you my good side. ”
"Okay, my Earl Lilian."
Nie Yuan made a "stop" gesture and said, "I think it's better for us to talk normally." ”
Count Lilian smiled again, and said, "But what if I'm really more interested in you than anything else, or ...... I'm still giving money like last time? ”
"No, you're going to be interested."
Nie Yuan said seriously: "Moreover, the town of Paz is really dangerous, you should have added money to us." ”
"Then you can hear it."
Count Lillian continued: "But if you want to add money, you can either follow me, or settle the matter of Paztown, yes, it is solved, not investigated." ”
Nie Yuan turned a deaf ear and said bluntly: "Some people in the church have been replaced by things that came out of Paz Town, including some high-level people. ”
Really.
When Lillian heard this, the look in her eyes changed, serious and profound.
"Okay Nie Yuan, you're right, I have to retract what I said just now, what do you mean...... The weirdness of Path Town has spread beyond the town? By replacing the role in that way? ”
Nie Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, at that time in the town of Paz, even I was almost replaced, and after I got out of trouble, I found that the elder of the Order Church, the man named Bazel, was asking me for help.
I don't know if you still have an impression of the name, but at that time, he was supposed to preside over the worship services of the faithful in the church.
And it seems that this is exactly what happened, and Bazel did his job well, and is still presiding over some of the work of the Church of Order.
But who is the one who asks me for help? ”
When Lillian heard this, she fell into deep thought for a while, but the changing look in her eyes showed the turbulence of her heart.
She looked at Nie Yuan and asked, "Nie Yuan, before proceeding with the next conversation, I want to make sure of one thing, please tell me truthfully, you Buck Bookstore, do you have the certainty of solving the matter in Path Town, well, under the premise of being cannon fodder for you in the church of Rui Eucalyptus City." ”
Nie Yuan didn't answer immediately, but took out a list from his arms.
After opening it, he pushed it in front of Lilian and said, "If you can find us these materials, I think there are still some." ”
Take a closer look, aren't the five or six materials recorded above exactly what is needed to refine Nie Yuan's blood system.
These materials, in fact, are not very rare, and Nie Yuan will not be stupid enough to ask Lilian to help him find them, materials that are so rare that they are hard to find.
That would undermine the growing partnership between Buck Bookstore and Earl Lillian.
There is also a suspicion that the lion opened his mouth and took advantage of the fire to rob.
However, the process of collecting these materials will be very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not suitable for a small base like Buck's bookstore to find.
It would be much easier to replace Lilian, who has a huge network, and she also has an olive branch thrown by some powerful people in the royal city, and the most important thing is manpower and material resources.
Lilian glared at Nie Yuan, as if she was dissatisfied with his heart, thinking about business all the time.
But I picked up the list and looked at it.
Then he raised the list a little and asked the shadow behind him, "I haven't heard of these two ingredients." ”
Shadow replied truthfully, "These materials are relatively out-of-the-box, and it's normal that you haven't heard of them, but they're not very rare, it's just that it's more labor-intensive to find." ”
Lilian didn't ask any more questions, she trusted the Shadow's judgment very much, and said to Nie Yuan:
"If it's just a matter of manpower, then I won't count you as robbing while it's hot, it's okay, as long as you solve the incident in Path Town, I can find it for you.
As for the church, with the news you brought, I have to knock them out a lot of money, and then I will try my best to guide them to be cannon fodder for Buck's bookstore. ”
"What, you can still knock a big stroke? Then am I at a loss? ”
Lillian gave him a "you can see it yourself" expression, and then placed the list in her hand on the table.
I was about to speak, but I suddenly noticed something and froze in place.
"What's wrong?"
Nie Yuan asked, and then followed Lilian's gaze.
I saw a faint drop of oil stain next to the list on the table.
Lilian suddenly raised her head and looked at Nie Yuan and said:
"Nie Yuan, you say...... Since the elders of the church have been replaced, will my subordinates have the same experience? ”
When Nie Yuan heard this, he instantly understood a lot of things, his expression was similar to Lilian's, and he said slowly:
"It should ...... Is that possible? How many people did you send at that time? ”
"Not much, just a dozen, their role is not to really investigate anything valuable, they don't have that kind of ability, more than just to verify the authenticity of the church's file."
"So, by chance?"
"Yes, as it happens, there is the one just now."
"I see that he is quite diligent when he cleans up the table."
"Yes, that's true, but isn't that a drop left."
"It's very strict, Lillian."
