: 172. Shipboard Town (2 in 1)_6
“Have you discussed with the Tatis Empire about purchasing batches of the Life Elixir?”
The Lady Boss rolled her eyes at the ceiling andmented,
“Oh, my dear guest, of course we’ve made contact with Tatis, but we haven’t been able to reach any deal. The people of Tatis Empire are all single-minded and theypletely ignore us, always going on about things such as ‘we despise magic’ and ‘wizards are disgusting’. I have no idea what they’re going on about. We took bags full of gold to them and all we got were contemptuous looks and ridicule. Have a seat, both of you. You’ve brought your Life Elixirs, yes? I have plenty of cash here.”
Nnd Lee and Denise Green took their seats.
Denise naturally took out a suitcase and ced it on the table.
Nnd then started a conversation with thedy boss:
“I heard that the Tatis Empire has epted the proposal of the Wizard Advancement Association and is selecting the next Magic Research Institute. After the Death Herald Guild’s departure, the Pir of Ley Lines might take over the Undead Cult’s research task.”
A subtle glint passed through thedy boss’s eyes, demonstrating her understanding of the deeper meaning in Nnd’s remarks:
“It seems like you’re quite knowledgeable about the affairs of Tatis? Ah… your eyes are ice blue, clear and luminous like a crystalline blue diamond. I’ve seen such eye colours in the negotiation team sent by Tatis.”
Nnd nodded slightly:<div>
“Yes, madam, I am from Tatis and I have some friends there. Let me guess, the Empire People who came to negotiate with you were probably a teamposed of military officers from Division Intelligence Unit Two, Three, Four, and some representatives of the Empire’s enterprises. Without your introduction, I know already that those who say ‘Wizards are trouble’ are from Division Intelligence Unit Two. Division Three has a neutral stance on the sale of Life Elixirs. Division Four really wanted to strike this deal, but they were overshadowed by Division Two. As for the Empire’s representatives, honestly, they do not produce Life Elixirs; they are just responsible for dealing with the transportation of the potions.”
“Yes, that’s right…” The Lady Boss nodded repeatedly.
The real situation was almost the same as what Nnd described. Tatis is an isted ce, and the Death Herald Guild has never allowed wandering wizards to reside there. This has resulted in all the wizard forces, including thisdy boss, having limited knowledge of Tatis.
It can be said that the vast majority of wizards, including thisdy boss, cannot differentiate between the functions of Division Intelligence Unit Two, Three, Four due to insufficient information.
Now that Nndbelled the Division Intelligence personnel, thedy boss was quickly able to match thebels Nnd gave with the actual people.
“I’ve thought about it carefully, and the situation at the site was exactly as you described.” After pondering for a few seconds, thedy boss pped her hands softly, lowered her voice, and said,
“Can you help me get more Life Elixirs? Price is certainly negotiable. If possible, I want to buy out your supply channel for Life Elixirs. I can make decisions regarding this matter.”
“I’ll have to discuss this with my friends from the Empire first. As you understand, those stubborn heads need me to drill a hole in their foreheads before I can pour what I want to say into their minds.”
Nnd patted the suitcase on the table:
“Let’s handle these Life Elixirs first. I’ll give you a response within three days, madam.”
“No problem.” thedy boss said whileughing heartily.
She took out her branch wand and drew a few circles in the air.
The circles transformed into a column of light that suspended the suitcases, and they opened in half.
These suitcases were alchemical products with folded space, where the Life Elixirs inside werepressed to the size of a grain of rice.
The column of light released by thedy boss’s wand scanned over the contents of each suitcase, quicklypleting the identification and tallying process.
She happily took out 26,000 gold coins and handed them to Nnd. Of these, 25,500 gold coins were the payment for the goods, and the extra 500 gold coins were for Nnd’s expenses in contacting his Empire friends.
Nnd gratefully epted the gold coins and handed them to Denise Green for safekeeping.
“By the way, we’ve been so busy doing business that we haven’t formally introduced ourselves,” thedy boss said as she reached out her hand to shake with Nnd:
“I am Kndi, a seventh-ring nature witch from Hotams Nature Institute. I like to research magic potions. If you need magic elixirs or magical herbs, I’m the one to look for.”<div>
“I am Jarvis, madam, I am honored to meet you.” Nnd Lee pointed to the witch beside him:
“This is Denise Green, mypanion witch. Therefore, I don’t need to introduce my wizard forces. You should understand what I mean.”
Kndi had a gracious smile and waved her hand:
“No problem, I don’t mind. As a contractor, if your secrets are found, it’s easy to be targeted for yourpanion witch. I understand. I have to remind you of something, don’t me me for being nosy…”<div>
Kndi paused and said:
“Among the passengers on this ship, there are many grey wizards who have not joined the Ulnas Circle, and there is even an arena run by grey wizards. ording to Law No. 1 of the Ulnas Circle, you can refuse to challenge a Ulnas Circle wizard when your strength is weaker than theirs. However, those grey wizards are not members of the Ulnas Circle; they are not bound by Law No. 1. They may find ways to provoke you, ask you to go to the arena to fight, and there will be betting odds. Be careful, don’t fall for their tricks. If things get tricky, be sure to ask for help from the Captain’s magical servant. There’s no shame in that.”
Thanks to Kndi’s reminder, Nnd Lee remembered this.
There are many people in this world who can’t stand others being better than them.
For these kind of people, defeating him, Nnd Lee, and then humiliating him severely may not led Denise Green to leave him in despair, but it would definitely vent their resentment of “the resurrection witch being upied by someone who is inferior to them”.
If there are many grey wizards on this ship who have nothing better to do, then he would be busy dealing with challenges…
Nnd Lee frowned slightly, but the next second, a peculiar look emerged in his eyes.
“Thank you, madam. Thank you for your reminder.”
Nnd Lee said goodbye to Kndi, and took Denise Green out of the shop.
Standing in the street, looking at the bustling crowd, Nnd Lee had a brilliant idea.
“Denise Green, let’s go around to the tailor’s and then find a crowded ce to rest. While you rest, contact Adide Carter and Morster and ask them if they are willing to provide Life Elixir.”
“Alright.” Denise Green nodded obediently, then tilted her head slightly and asked doubtfully:
“Why choose a crowded ce? Didn’t Miss Kndi just mention… that if people realise we are in apanion contract rtionship, we may encounter trouble…”<div>
“Don’t worry.” Nnd Lee gently brushed the back of her hand, smiling assuredly:
“Just stayfortably by my side. If someone challenges, I will handle it.”
Denise Green didn’t really understand but she did not ask any other questions. She reached out to hold Nnd Lee’s hands, and reminded him softly:
“Then you should be careful. Whether you win or lose the duel, it will not affect our contract.”
“Yes, I know.”
Nnd Lee noticed the stray ncesing from the corner of the street. It didn’t take long for a grey wizard to take notice.
A beautifulpanion witch is indeed a hot cake…
Come on, grey wizards. The more youe, the more energy points I can earn. I can try applying the knowledge I learned about magical control in thest few days.
Hehehe~
