Looking at Li He, the aristocratic young woman Isa took a deep breath and spoke.
"I don't know if you know, but there is a strange lunatic disease going on in many places south of Vernarenza. In fact, my husband, Marquis Owen, suddenly contracted this lunatic disease and died.
After his death, many nobles around him were not only unsympathetic, but also resorted to despicable means to rob the property and territory he left behind. They even tried to kill me and my daughter and completely divide the territory, forcing me to flee to Lunza——
Where my parents' family is."
"Tell me the important point." Li He said.
"Yes, yes." Isa did not dare to be long-winded and cut to the chase, "In short, the lunatic disease is very serious in the south. In order to prevent its spread, Lunza is setting up multiple checkpoints outside the city to conduct strict inspections on people going to the south.
"
"You mean, with my ability, I will be stopped by the checkpoint? I need to take you with me to pass smoothly?" Li He asked.
"No, no." Isa explained nervously, "I have no doubt that adults can pass the checkpoint, but I think it always takes a little trouble for adults. If you and I go to the checkpoint together, there is a way to help adults quickly
Pass, save adults' time."
After speaking, Isha looked at Li He seriously.
Li He couldn't help but chuckle: "Why, is this the cost you want to pay? A few books and the convenience of passing the level?"
Isa looked a little flustered: "Sir, I..."
"What are you?" Li He stepped closer, his voice getting colder, "Ms. Isa, please recognize the reality. I am not stupid. So your purpose and the price you want to pay can be stated directly instead of hidden in
In seemingly sincere words.
In addition, if the cost you can pay is very small, don't continue, so as not to annoy me, I don't mind letting my men deal with a few more corpses. So, that's it."
After speaking, Li He turned around and left.
Isa's face kept changing. She looked at Li He's back in black robe, took a deep breath and said, "Sir, please walk slowly."
"What's the matter again?" Li He stopped and asked, "I hope you're not wasting my time again."
"I don't dare..." Isa tried her best to keep a smile, shook her head vigorously, and said seriously, "This time I sincerely want to ask you to escort us to Lunza."
"You can finally express your purpose clearly, which is good, but what is the price you can pay? I hope you won't disappoint me," Li He said.
Having said this, he turned to look at Alex and asked, "Alen, how is the disposal of the body going?"
"Master, according to your instructions, I have repaired the knives and confirmed that the death is complete. They have also been piled up and can be lit and burned at any time." Alex replied. It can be seen that his efficiency is indeed very high.
All the corpses present were collected in one place.
"It's very good, but if you wait a little longer to ignite it, there may be some changes."
"yes."
Li He looked at Isa again and asked: "Madam, so, what can you give?"
Isa glanced at the corpses collected by the devil next to her. Her face was obviously pale, but she still tried to smile and said: "Sir, according to some rumors, I heard that wizards like you need to do research or improve their strength.
A large number of resources, such as ores and herbs.
And my family in Lunsa is relatively powerful. As long as you can send me back, I am willing to let my family do its best to meet your needs for various resources."
"That's not bad." Li He agreed. It had to be said that he did have needs for various resources. When he was in Blackstone Castle, he applied to his eldest sister Fiona. After he went to Lensa, he would most likely find a solution on his own.
, if cooperation can be reached and the family behind Isa can provide it, it will save a lot of effort.
but……
"However, this is not enough." Li He said, "Although I need resources, your family is not the only one that can provide them. Moreover, based on the person who was chasing you just now, we can deduce that he will take you there.
Lunsa, it’s definitely not peaceful on the road. It’s not worth the gain for me.”
Isa pursed her lips, thought for a while, and said: "Sir, my family can also provide you with a book that belongs to wizards. Yes, a book that only wizards can read. My family also got it accidentally.
, the text written on it is completely unreadable, but it must be related to some knowledge of the wizard.
This book has been kept secretly by my family, hoping that it will come in handy one day... If you are willing to escort us to Lensa, I am willing to give this book to you."
"A wizard book? Very good." Li He nodded, "But... it's still not enough."
"Sir, this is already the most valuable thing I can bring out."
"Maybe, but what does this have to do with me?" Li He said lightly, "Maybe you think what you give is very precious, but have you ever thought about it, these are just empty promises, whether they can be fulfilled or not
They are unknown, so their value is greatly discounted, and they are not as precious as you think.
On this basis, maybe you think it’s enough for me to escort you to Lensa, enough to buy your life. That’s because you think you are worth so much money. But... in my opinion, my time may
It’s worth more.”
"This..." Isa was silent and had to admit that what Li He said made sense.
Li He chuckled lightly, turned around and left without hesitation: "You are quite sincere this time, but the price you can pay is still too little."
Li He walked further and further away, and Isha couldn't help but grit her teeth: "Sir, there is one last thing I can provide you."
"oh?"
"My family also treasures a magical item used by wizards. It is a ring called the Blood Amber Ring. Rumor has it that it was left by the Blood Witch. Although it has been damaged, I believe you should return it to your lord.
It will be of great use. If I can return to Lunsa, I will definitely dedicate this blood amber ring to you."
Under the black robe, Li He raised his eyebrows. At this moment, he was really moved.
He is not surprised that the other party can provide resources, but it is not very attractive to him if he can provide a wizard book. After all, he already has the "Book of Destiny", which is theoretically equivalent to having countless wizard books.
But providing a magical item used by wizards was completely different. It was something he had never come into contact with.
If he could obtain such a magical item, even if it was damaged, he could analyze some of the principles of the wizard's creation through research, see how it was different from normal scientific creation, and try to use it in practice. This meant something to him
major.
What's more, according to what the other party said, this blood amber ring is related to the blood witch, and maybe some information about the countess can be found.
All in all, this deal is pretty good.
Originally, he just wanted to see what the other party could give, but he didn't expect there would be a surprise.
But having said that, if this deal is concluded, it will inevitably affect his original plan.
He originally thought of reaching Lensa quickly, but it would be more difficult to bring the opponent's group with him. He might have to face some intercepting enemies along the way, which would be quite troublesome...unless...
After thinking for a few seconds, Li He made a decision in his mind, looked at Isa and said: "If everything you promised can be fulfilled, I can guarantee that I will take you to Lensa safely."
An expression of surprise suddenly appeared on Isa's face, and the expressions of the others also relaxed.
"But don't be too happy too early, I still have a small problem."
"Sir, please speak." Isa said quickly.
"Master, do you want to light the fire now?" Alex, who had been waiting next to him for a long time, asked.
"Wait until I ask another question."
"Yes, Master."
Li He looked at Isa and others, who were obviously nervous and realized that the question Li He wanted to ask was very important. If the answer was not good, not only would the deal not be reached, but they would probably not be able to leave here alive.
"My question is also very simple. Which road do you want to take to return to Lensa from here?"
Isa and the others were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. For a moment, no one knew how to answer.
Finally, Barton spoke up and said cautiously: "Sir, returning to Lensa from here is generally the fastest way to go by water, but the route is too clear and there will definitely be enemies blocking it... So it is better to go by land, which can bypass those enemies.
We have a malicious noble territory... but the speed of traveling by land is too slow... the best way is to combine land and water, which is what we did before..."
Barton kept talking, but Li He didn't say anything and just listened quietly.
Isa looked at Li He, unable to see Li He's expression clearly because of the robe and hat, but she vaguely felt that this was definitely not the answer Li He wanted.
That……
A few seconds later, Isa suddenly spoke up, interrupted Barton's words, bowed to Li He and saluted, and said respectfully: "Sir, we don't have a route we want to take to return to Lunsa from here. The specific actions we take are all subject to your arrangements.
Even if they put me in the carriage of a freight carriage, I won't complain at all."
"That's right. With this kind of awareness, I can save a lot of trouble on the road." Li He was finally satisfied. The next moment he reached out from his black robe and took out three small sealed test tubes filled with transparent liquid and handed them to the group of people.
"Group two people, drink the potion inside, and then I can take you away." Li He said.
Isa and the others were stunned, looking at the test tube handed out by Li He, hesitating slightly.
From the perspective of Isa and his team, they have no idea about the effects of Li He's potion, and after drinking it, it is basically completely under Li He's control.
But there seems to be no other good way...
The others were still hesitating, but the noble girl Fleur was the first to step forward, carefully took a test tube, opened the stopper, poured half of the liquid directly into her mouth, and swallowed it.
Then he handed the remaining liquid to mother Isa's hand.
Isa no longer hesitated and drank the same drink.
Barton and the other three guards looked at each other, took the test tube from Li He's hand, and quickly drank the liquid in it.
Li He looked at it, nodded lightly, and turned to Alex: "Let's light a fire, get rid of all the corpses, and we'll leave."
"Yes." Allen started to take action.
After hearing this, Isa and her group felt sure that they were finally safe. They took a long breath and relaxed their bodies.
Then he frowned, because he found that his body relaxed a little too much, and all the muscles in his body began to soften. His body swayed, and he began to lose his balance. His eyelids could not be supported, and they fell down to cover his eyes.
Thinking slows down, gets slower and slower, and finally the consciousness goes blank.
With a "crash" sound, the group of people lay down on the ground one after another and fell into a deep sleep, which was the effect of the powerful anesthetic they had just taken.
After Allen disposed of the bodies, he walked back to Li He. Looking at the six Ishas lying motionless on the ground, he asked in slight surprise: "Master, what should I do with these?"
"Throw it into the castle, and then we'll go on our way normally."
