Chapter 6: Negotiation (Asking for Votes)

The banquet halls of Constantinople were six or seven large and small.

Usually Li Aili eats in the small restaurant on the third floor on the south side, but today, she was invited to the second floor on the north side where the duke lives.

The entire ballroom was illuminated by magic lamps, and the long banquet tables were filled with blooming flowers.

Male servants in black tuxedos stand on either side of the banquet table.

A manservant respectfully stepped forward and pulled out a seat for Li Ellie.

No sooner had she sat down than the tall and handsome Duke came in.

Arthur Emerald wore a crimson velvet cape, and a royal blue ribbon was adorned with jeweled medals.

The most extreme handsomeness and the most attractive charm of a woman, this cold jade duke has it all.

This is the first time that Li Aili has had dinner with Duke Leng Jade after marriage.

The manservant began to pass the dishes.

The appetizer is some cold cuts with cold sausages, some salads, and sweet and sour pickles.

The duke, who was sitting at the other end of the long table, waved his hand, and all the male servants in the banquet hall bowed respectfully.

"I need you to provide me with that red potion. What are your conditions? ”

The food on the duke's side is obviously much better than that on the south side, and Li Aili has been vomiting after eating barbecue and bacon these days.

At this moment, she was picking up a cold sausage with a fork and chopped spices in it, accompanied by a sauce of tomato and onion, and it smelled very good.

Curiously, she stuffed a small piece into her mouth and chewed it like a hamster.

Arthur Leng Emerald propped her chin on one hand and watched as she munched slowly and ate the entire plate of cold sausages.

"That's the condition...... I've thought of three so far, can you say yes? After elegantly wiping her mouth with a napkin and taking back the initiative, Li Ailie looked back at Arthur Cold Jade without any surprise.

Li Aili, who did not hide that she was falling into the well, smiled sweetly at the "duke's husband" opposite arrogantly, "My dear, do you think this is a bit much?" ”

Duke Leng Jade picked up his goblet and shook the crimson wine inside, "Tell me about it, my dear." ”

"First, I want a divorce."

The duke's hand flickered, and red wine was sprinkled on the embroidered tablecloth.

"Nope."

Lee Ellie shrugged and began to bow her head to the Ronanzo Salad in front of her. It was an original delicacy created by a nobleman from the Fernan Empire and named it after himself.

Arthur Leng Jade watched as Li Aili lowered her head and ate a small plate of salad. His slender fingers began to tap inadvertently on the tabletop.

"You know that the Holy Court of Light does not allow nobles, especially the big nobles, to divorce."

Li Aili pursed her lips secretly, "If you had said this before, I would have believed it." ”

Duke Leng Jade dared to blatantly imprison the people of the Light Sect in the dungeon.

said that he didn't dare to divorce, even if he was a dog, he wouldn't believe it!

Arthur Leng Jade looked at her for a long time and said slowly, "But I need at least a year." A year later, we divorced. ”

Li Aili couldn't help but bargain, "Three months." ”

Arthur Leng Emerald said expressionlessly, "Then farewell." ”

Li Ailie's painting style changed, "I think a year is very good! ”

Arthur Emerald: "......"

He picked up the rattle bell and asked the manservants to pass down a dish, "Second request." ”

Soon, the manservant served them today's soup, Suic's cream puree.

"I need a piece of land to live in after my divorce. Hey, just say it bluntly, you give me a piece of land, and I want to be a lord. ”

Her secrets are too important, she is always unsafe in people's territory, and it is inconvenient to rely on people's snorts. If you think about it carefully, it is still the safest and most reliable self-supporting portal.

This time, the Duke agreed very happily, "Yes, but I also have a side request." ”

"Your territory can't be too far from Constantinople."

Li Ellie's eyes widened in displeasure, "Why?" ”

The Duke lifted his eyelids and glanced at the petite and beautiful woman opposite, "Do you want to be assassinated by the Holy See and the Potions Society every day?" ”

Li Ellie nodded immediately, "I think you're right, but the distance produces beauty, not too far, not too close, and then I'm building a magic teleportation array to link the castle with my residence, so that if you encounter danger, you can come in time." ”

Arthur Cold Emerald chuckled meaninglessly.

The tips of Li Aili's ears were slightly red.

"Ahem," Li Elli also had a hot face, cleared her throat and continued, "Third, you burned my shop in Campbell, and I saved three months of gold coins, I think you have to compensate me, and you will have to pay extra for mental damages." ”

"In addition, in our future potion transactions, you will have to buy them with gold coins, one yard to one yard." After saying that, she picked up her glass and took a small sip elegantly.

"Yes. So, when can you give me the potion, get me 1,000 bottles first. ”

"Poof-" Li Ailie squirted all the red wine she had just drunk.

With 26 points of kindness reputation, she has only collected 33 magical plants today, and the materials used to make healing potions are only about 20.

Fortunately, the Flower of Water and the Root of Terra are both basic materials, but counting the harvest in the garden tomorrow, she promises to take out 10 bottles of healing potions tomorrow at most.

Li Aili took a deep breath, "Your Excellency Duke, do you think I conjured this thing out of thin air?" ”

Arthur Emerald quietly finished a bowl of Suik's cream soup, put down the silver spoon and looked up at her, "What do you mean?" ”

"Meaning, I'll give you up to ten bottles tomorrow with the ingredients I have." Li Aili said.

This amount cannot be cured by the knights who are seriously injured in the Knights now.

Seeing that the duke's face sank visibly with the naked eye, Li Aili's little brain turned, and she immediately had a bad move.

"Well, actually, I have an idea......"

……

If the luxury of Constantinople is comparable to the platinum palace of the royal capital, then its underground dungeon is as bad as the abyss of hell.

Tick, tick –

Mixed water oozing through cracks in the rocks dripped into the dirty bowl of the gap.

The unkempt Bishop Hillman lay on the ground, staring at the broken bowl, and when he saw that the water was about to accumulate in the gap, he greedily took it up and drank it all.

Goo, goo.

The sound of swallowing was particularly striking in the dark and dead silence of the cell.

"Damn it! Who's stealing food? The bishop, who had lost a trace of white in his robes, got up from the rotten grass where the rats had nested and cursed.

"Save your saliva, Rowell." The hoarse old man curled up in the straw pile, unable to speak.

"I can't stand it anymore...... Otherwise, we will loosen our mouths and heal a few knights, but the condition is that Arthur Leng Emerald raised by a son of a bitch must give us, no, we must kneel down and apologize to the God of Light! The bishop told Lowell to lie down on the haystack, his flaking mouth still chattering.

"Hold on to Lowell, they won't dare kill us. You see, except for His Excellency Archbishop Arthur Cold Jade, who angered Arthur Leng Jade before, we are not good, and there is no one missing. The silver-haired old man tightened his stinking robe of light.

"Don't worry, keep going, we won't save even a knight, and they won't dare to do anything to us."

"After all...... We're missing in the Dukeship. The God of Light will protect His agents on earth. ”

After saying that, I heard a 'squeak', and then a blinding light illuminated the dark dungeon.

A knight walked down the narrow steps with a torch, and all the torches along the wall were lit.

The clergy in the cage pierced by the sudden firelight and closed their eyes.

The silver-haired old bishop Solomon struggled to open a crack and look outside.

I saw that the knights carried down a man.

It was a badly wounded knight who had been stabbed in the stomach and the wound had begun to inflame, and it would not be long before the untreated knight would return to the arms of the god of light.

The old god Solomon was there, and he lay back on the rotten grass and pretended to sleep, but in fact, his eyes narrowed into a slit and peeked.

"Do you really think there's no other way in this world than you and the Potions Society?" The knight, who had been intimidating and intimidating them for the past few days, sneered.

I saw that he took out a bottle of red weird potion.

"Today, I'm going to show you a real miracle."

The potion was poured into the mouth of the seriously wounded knight. The hideous wound on the knight's stomach was visibly healed.

"It can't be!" Solomon sat up with a stagger, and his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets.

The knight suppressed his excitement when he saw his mortally wounded companion healed, and smiled coldly at the stunned missionaries in the cage.

"Brothers, pull them out and slaughter them all!"
