Chapter 156: Inquiry and Cooperation
When Witsmir opened the door, he happened to see the waiter leaving as if fleeing. He couldn't help being stunned, looked at Leo, and asked in confusion: "What's going on with this guy?"
"It's nothing, I just scared him." Leo looked at the radiant Witsmir and asked, "It seems that you gained a lot yesterday."
"We have already reached an agreement with several people." Witsmir let Leo into the house. After closing the door, he walked to the bar in the house and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"No! I don't want to drink anything." Leo shook his head, sat down casually, and then asked directly: "How are you going to cooperate on the waste city?"
Witsmir did not expect that Leo would ask about this matter as soon as he came up. He was stunned, then hesitated, walked to sit opposite Leo, and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that Andre XIII's youngest son and
Did you talk for a long time?"
"It seems that you have a lot of eyes and ears in the town of Seventh Lake!" Leo did not deny it, but looked at Witsmir thoughtfully and said.
"We have been doing business here for a long time, and there is a chief wizard as a backer. Even if we do nothing, someone will come to us." Witsmir responded with a smile, and then asked curiously: "Can you say something?
What did he want you to do?"
Leo said calmly: "It's not a big deal, I just want me to bring someone in."
Witsmir frowned and reminded: "Are you crazy? The ten chiefs of the Wizards Association have jointly banned the Alcott family from approaching the ruined city. You..."
"That person is just his maid." Leo interrupted Witsmir and said calmly.
Witsmir said worriedly: "You'd better be careful, the youngest son of Andre XIII is definitely a cunning guy. Even the chief wizard of Silvermoon City has mentioned it more than once, if he is not Austrian
A member of the Alcott family can probably occupy a position among the ten chief wizards. Moreover, he is also the most cunning businessman in the ten towns. He has never made a loss in a business. No matter what he paid in advance, he will definitely be sure in the end.
It will be recovered tenfold or a hundredfold."
"You seem to be afraid of him!" Leo looked at the expression on Witsmir's face and said in a deep voice.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I'm worried!" Witsmir said a little harshly, then abruptly changed the topic back to what Leo asked about in the first place, and said, "How much do you know about the Abandoned City?"
"I don't know much, I just heard from the teacher that there are a lot of good things there." Leo made up a fabricated teacher seriously to make himself appear to have a profound background.
"I think so. In fact, if the master hadn't asked me to handle this matter this time, I might not have known what the Abandoned City was. I know that the people in the Abandoned City are all powerful wizards in the Wizards Association." Wiz.
Mir looked at Leo when he said this, hoping to see some clues from Leo's face and guess who the teacher behind Leo was. Unfortunately, Leo always had a smiling expression and could not see anything useful.
thing.
Witsmir continued: "However, the matter of destroying the capital is still in the preliminary stage of preparation. Your teacher has sent an official wizard like you here. It seems that your teacher does not have many people who can be used!"
Seeing that Witsmir was still testing, Leo didn't want to waste time in repeated testing, so he frowned deliberately, showing a trace of displeasure, giving Witsmir enough room to daydream.
Sure enough, after Witsmir saw the subtle expression on Leo's face, he looked as if he had received some important information.
"As far as I know, the abandoned city that appeared in the town on Seventh Lake is definitely not the main city. If your teacher wants to find the real remains of the ancient god from the abandoned city, it will be very difficult." Perhaps he thought he had seen through Lei.
After learning about Ou's origins, Witsmir's always vigilant mood relaxed a little, making him less rigorous in his speech, and easily revealed an important piece of information about the abandoned capital.
Leo just followed his words at this moment and said vaguely: "After all, there is still a glimmer of hope, isn't there?"
Hearing this sentence that clearly meant nothing, it sounded to Witsmir's ears as if Leo had acquiesced in his guess, and he quickly adjusted several preset cooperation plans and selected the most suitable one.
That one said: "If my guess is correct, your teacher probably doesn't know much about the Abandoned City, but I can provide you with detailed information about the Abandoned City and help you communicate with other collaborators. As long as you find
If I have the remains of the ancient god, how about I let you take them first?"
"What do I need to pay?" Leo asked in a deep voice.
"Two things." Witsmir stretched out two fingers and said: "One is to help my master obtain the Dream Stone, and the other is that if it appears in the Waste City Big Library in the town on Seventh Lake,
My master hopes that you can help him find a book called The Sigh of the Night God."
Hearing the familiar name Ye Shen Sigh, Leo's heart moved slightly and he felt a little surprised. He didn't expect that one of the thirteen volumes of ancient god's knowledge that the madman had lost in the world of Velen would actually be in the dream world. But then he thought about it.
I think, if the formation of this world originated from the dream of Ye God, then it is not surprising that the book recording the knowledge of Ye God would end up here.
"What if the abandoned city that appears is not a big library?" Leo did not show any abnormality, but asked like a real discussion collaborator.
Witsmir replied: "If it is not the Great Library, my master hopes that you can help him obtain an afterglow."
Leo didn't know what the remaining fire was at all, but from Witsmir's words, it was not difficult to tell that this thing was only slightly less precious than the ancient god's knowledge of Night God's Sigh. Even if there were a lot of remaining fires, it would be difficult to obtain them.
It is also very difficult.
Leo asked tentatively: "Will your master, the Ninth Chief, personally take action?"
"Of course it's impossible. If it's the main city, my master might be interested in entering, but if it's in other areas of the ruined city, my master doesn't have so much time to waste on it." Witsmir shook his head repeatedly, and then added
Said: "However, my master will not underestimate the appearance of the abandoned city, so he will send his best disciples here. I guess he will send his master's disciple, the expeditioner Charles Longco, here."
Leo frowned deliberately and obviously when he heard this name. Although he didn't know this Charles Longco, the other person's name was very aggressive, and when Witsmir mentioned this person, his tone also revealed
There was a hint of fear and panic, so he guessed that this person might have a bad temperament and be difficult to get along with.
Sure enough, when Leo made a troubled expression, Witsmir immediately explained: "You don't have to worry about Mr. Langke's temper. After all, the matter of destroying the capital is also very important to my master. If the matter is done because of his temper,
If he smashes it, he will definitely be severely punished, so he will definitely restrain his temper by then. In addition, you also know that there are dangers in the waste city, and having a powerful person like Mr. Langke join will make things much easier."
After listening to Witsmir's persuasion, Leo pretended to be deep in thought, while Witsmir was quite confident about his proposal, because he felt that he had already guessed who Leo's teacher was, and he also believed that the remains of the ancient god were very important to that so-called teacher.
importance.
"What if the remains of the ancient god are not found?" Leo thought for a moment and then asked.
Leo's inquiry made Witsmir think that the matter was half successful, so he smiled and said: "If you don't find the remains of the ancient god, you can pick three items from the other items you found, and you can use the rest.
Get 20%."
"Only 20%?" Leo pretended to be dissatisfied.
Witsmir quickly explained: "Twenty percent is enough. You must know that there are other participants, and they can only divide it into 30%."
Leo said with a cold expression: "So the remaining 50% will be taken by the Expeditioner?"
"Of course it's impossible. He can only take 20%. The remaining 30% belongs to my master." Witsmir may have guessed what Leo would question, so before he could speak, he took the initiative to explain: "I
Although my master was not present in person, he provided information about the abandoned city that no one else could provide. You should also know how valuable this knowledge is within the Wizards Association. In addition, my master can also provide you with information about entering the abandoned city.
Qualification, even Mr. Dodd, your teacher may not be able to obtain this qualification. If you do not have the qualification to enter and rush into the abandoned city, Mr. Dodd must be very aware of how dangerous it will be! So my master requires
Thirty percent of all gains is not excessive, what do you think?"
In Witsmir's view, the conditions he offered for Leo were good enough. In addition to the fact that the fictitious teacher he misjudged played a certain role, Peter Alcott's move to contact Leo also
It made him take Leo a little more seriously.
Although most people with status disdain to talk about Peter Alcott because of his background, everyone in Ten Towns and Silvermoon City greatly admires his ability and vision. Therefore, those with the
When the merchants who came with a special purpose knew that the person who invited them was Peter Alcott, no one chose to leave. They all stayed to listen to what Peter Alcott's big moves were so that they could share in them.
A cup of soup.
However, among the many merchants, even the merchants representing the chief wizards were not qualified to meet with Peter Alcott alone after the incident, but Peter Alcott took the initiative to see Leo and talked with him.
He discussed cooperation matters, even if the so-called cooperation was only temporary, he always brought one person with him. This was something that had never happened in the past.
It was precisely because of Peter Alcott's unexpected behavior that Witsmir felt that Leo must have something special. Otherwise, Peter Alcott would not have treated a wizard of unknown origin with this attitude.
.
Compared to Witsmir's speculations and estimates that were just a hair's breadth away, Leo actually got a lot of useful things from Witsmir's words. The most important one was the Wizards Association's
The chief wizard has mastered a certain method of entering the ruined city.
It is not difficult to hear from Witsmir's words that this method can allow people to enter the abandoned city in a relatively safe place, while those who do not enter through the correct method may appear in some extremely dangerous places.
However, Leo was more interested in the information about the abandoned city that was one of the conditions for the transaction, so after thinking about it, he asked: "Is the information about the abandoned city complete?"
Witsmir hesitated for a moment and said: "I can only guarantee that all the information that can be disclosed is in it. As for the others, I'm afraid..."
"Let me think about it." Leo pretended to be embarrassed and leaned on his chair, thinking deeply. After a while, he said: "When can I get the information about the abandoned city?"
Seeing that Leo agreed to cooperate, Witsmir was naturally very happy and said: "As long as I report the cooperation, when Mr. Langke comes to the town of Seventh Lake, he will naturally bring the cooperation agreement and materials.
"
"If I want to bring someone in, it should be no problem!" Leo added: "I'm just bringing her in, and I don't need to be responsible for her safety."
Witsmir thought for a moment and said tactfully: "As long as you are not from the Alcott family, it will be fine."
Leo smiled and said: "Don't worry, she is definitely not from the Alcott family, she is not even a human being."
Witsmir did not understand Leo's words and could only smile in agreement. Then the two chatted for a few more words, and under Leo's deliberate guidance, the topic gradually shifted to the murder that occurred in the 23rd District.
"The heir to the Nowitzki family must have died in vain." The topic had just entered those murderous cases, and before Leo could guide him, Witsmir suddenly said a little sarcastically, and then he pretended to be mysterious and looked at Lei.
Ou, said: "Do you know why he died?"
"Is it because of that prostitute named Melinda?" Leo pretended to be profound and said what he had deduced earlier.
Witsmir couldn't help but be stunned, then looked Leo up and down, and said with a slightly meaningful tone: "Mr. Dodd, it seems that you don't have anyone useful here as you said, even
If you can find out about such secret things, I'm afraid my people are far behind compared to your people."
Although Witsmir did not say it explicitly, it was not difficult to tell from his words that what Leo had speculated about the Novitsky family heir and the prostitute was true.
So, Leo smiled indifferently and said, "Don't you also know about this matter? It can be seen that this matter is not a big secret here."
"You are wrong in your opinion. There are really not many people in the town of Seventh Lake who know about this matter. There are less than ten people in total." Witsmir shook his head and said, "I did it because of No.
The Weski family has business dealings, so I can use some means to know some of the Nowitzki family's secrets in advance."
"It's just that the Nowitzki family seems to have gone too far!" Leo commented like an outsider: "For the sake of the family's reputation and bloodline, there is nothing wrong with executing disobedient family heirs, but afterwards
