Chapter 282 It's obvious that I don't have a eunuch
This "family motto"-like survival concept is the consensus of the oligarchs of the United Chamber of Commerce, and each company has its own deviations and changes on this basis.
Of course, in the final analysis, Chai Anping is just a "passer-by" in Pi City, and it is impossible to plunge headlong into this capital struggle like he did in Demacia.
The only thing he was curious about was the ambiguous attitude of the Philos family!
According to Stephen's words, Camille obviously knew something, so he gave instructions to the people of Feros.
Maybe I can try to get something out of the head of Moira's family.
Their Demacia mission is currently under control in every aspect because there is no force coming to provide substantial "help".
“It tastes really good!”
Chai Anping put down the cup, then leaned on the seat and smiled: "Miss Moira..."
Just as he was about to speak, he was suddenly startled - the alchemical magic power in his body had a weak reaction to the coffee he drank!
He immediately controlled the alchemy magic power to analyze and deconstruct the ingredients before he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s harmless and may even be slightly beneficial to one’s psyche.
“This coffee making process actually incorporates some alchemical techniques!”
"oh?"
Moira's eyes flashed with a strange light when she heard this, and she said in astonishment: "You... uh, how did you see that?"
Kingsley, the owner of the coffee shop, is indeed an alchemist, but the ancient school he learned is extremely ancient. It is not so much alchemy as it is the simpler and ancient "potion" science. When he came to Zaun
After trying to fuse his family's heritage and alchemy failed, Kingsley opened a cafe under the protection of the Philos family and incorporated potion skills into the coffee.
But even a master alchemist can hardly detect this method - because Kingsley's school has achieved an extremely advanced concealment method, which is enough to cover up most traces. Moreover, the benefits produced by a cup of coffee are extremely small, so
Except for a few people in the Philos family, basically no one knows about Kingsley's talent.
It is worth mentioning that this coffee shop owner is also very good at preparing poison.
Therefore, his status in the Philos family is actually quite high.
Chai Anping was able to taste the traces of alchemy in Kingsley's coffee, which really surprised Moira!
"Ah..." Chai Anping smiled slightly: "I just happened to learn some alchemy."
Seeing that Moira's interest was piqued, he thought it was a coincidence and continued at the end of the sentence: "Although I don't feel it clearly, it is really a wonderful experience."
Although the magic power of alchemy failed to restore the methods of Kingsley's potion school, it still gave Chai Anping a great touch - fresh knowledge.
Ever since he obtained [Nature Reversal], knowledge has become a real power to him.
"The alchemy magic power... seems to have increased by 1%, a feedback from the [Nature Distortion] ability?" Chai Anping looked calm, but his heart was already filled with waves.
[Distorted Nature] After enhancement, it can actually feed back alchemical magic power!
The fragility of the alchemy magic power itself is obvious to all, and it is difficult to enhance it - Chai Anping's ability to be greatly improved basically depends on the [Dali Pill] provided by Stealing Omen. In addition, the improvement of the magic power basically requires accumulation of hard work over time.
Practice using or accept the baptism of magical whispers.
Chai Anping's resistance to whispers of magic is high, so it becomes more difficult to enhance his alchemical magic through this channel. Now that there is a channel for stable improvement, Chai Anping can't help but be excited.
"Congressman Shelley, you really...filled me with surprises." Moira complimented after digesting the information in Chai Anping's words.
She has always been an innocent girl, and now she looked at Chai Anping with admiration: "You must be an alchemy genius!"
"That's ridiculous, Miss Moira."
Chai Anping waved his hands repeatedly: "If you have a chance, I'd like you to introduce me to the manager of this store!"
"my pleasure."
Moira took out a small folding fan from under her sleeves and opened it to fan, half-hiding the soft smile on her face: "I think Manager Kingsley must be looking forward to someone drinking the secrets in his coffee."
"Thank you so much." Chai Anping casually looked at the street outside the window and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I heard that Ms. Camille of the Philos family has grounded all of you juniors in the past two days?"
"Huh? Where did Congressman Shelley hear this rumor?" Moira trembled her fingers, then smiled and said: "Although my grandmother has strict requirements on us, she will definitely not say any grounding, otherwise
How can the congressman still see me on the street?”
She blinked playfully, and Chai Anping noticed that the fan in her hand was painted with a red exotic bird in the style of an oil painting. It was small, cute, and lifelike, and it perfectly complemented Moira's expression.
Chai Anping felt a little embarrassed in his heart. To be honest, his skills were not as good as those of Alebella who used psychic magic.
A smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, he picked up the coffee and took a slow sip before speaking: "That's good, I also plan to discuss a business deal with Mr. Nickel of your family!"
"Nichol...huh!?"
Moira's heart trembled, Damn - you said you want to discuss business with that little brat in front of me?
Cheap or not?
"Ah...haha, what kind of business does Senator Shelley want to discuss with Nickel?" She asked carefully, suppressing the anger in her heart.
"Well -" Chai Anping clapped his fingers: "Your Feros family has a lot of supplies that we, Demacia, need. If the routes are opened in the future, our nobles' private chambers of commerce and the trade of forbidden magic stones will have great potential.
Hey, let me tell you a little secret. This time our mission came to Piltover with important instructions from His Majesty. In fact, the transaction of Hextech equipment is only part of our needs... We have more important things.
Where’s the deal?”
"..."
Seeing Moira's heart-beating expression visible to the naked eye, Chai Anping secretly recited Amitabha in his heart.
I'm sorry, female donor, I lied to you, and I will continue to lie to you.
"Um... uh..." Moira put down the folding fan and said solemnly: "Nichol is not very reliable in his work. He has not made any achievements so far. If you want to do business with our Philos family, you have to choose one.
I am a prudent contact person, not because I want to steal his resources, but because I hope that we can have a happy cooperation with the Kingdom of Demacia."
"Um...is that so?" Chai Anping was a little confused: "I have a very good impression of Mr. Nickel. He was the one who greeted us when we arrived in Pi City that day."
Moira:…
Why did that guy Nikhil pick up such a mountain of gold for nothing?!
