Chapter 216 Cooperation
As he mastered more occult knowledge, Lawrence Hillman gradually believed that the so-called objects in dreams turned into reality were just mental illusions created by witchcraft. They were not real dreams that came true. In fact, a wizard took a fancy to him.
, so I used this method to give him my wizard notes and let him become a wizard.
Therefore, Lawrence Hillman was very grateful to this mysterious wizard who helped him see the true side of the world, and was eager to meet him.
However, no matter whether he relied on his own ability or Rupert Fitz's financial resources, he could not find this wizard. Even in various organizations related to wizards in the dark world, the title Sixth Chief did not exist, so
He felt that this sixth chief was probably the most mysterious tower wizard, and he was the descendant of the tower. This was one of the reasons why he was extremely proud of blood witchcraft.
Although many years had passed and he had long since given up any hope of finding the whereabouts of the owner of the note, what he didn't expect was that he unexpectedly got a clue today, and it seemed that the other party knew the owner of the note very well, which also made him
The hope that had been dormant for many years emerged from the depths of my heart again.
"I know who he is, and I also know why he is called the Sixth Chief." Leo nodded happily and admitted the blood wizard's guess, but he had no intention of continuing and picked up the tent very calmly.
There are wine bottles and glasses inside, so you can pour and drink by yourself.
Seeing Leo's attitude, Lawrence Hillman couldn't figure out what the other party meant. His face became slightly gloomy, but he still took the initiative and said, "What price do I need to pay to get the relevant information?"
Although Leo has different ideas about his approach to equal exchange, but for those who are just friends, for strangers like the blood wizard who are not only not friends, but also have never met in person, he
I don’t feel the need to change the way we do equivalent exchange at all.
So when the blood wizard saw through Leo's thoughts and offered to exchange, Leo did not continue to speculate, but directly stated his conditions, saying: "I only have two conditions. One condition is to make special bullets."
Method, the other condition is that I want your blood witchcraft."
Lawrence Hillman heard this and shook his head without hesitation: "This is impossible."
If Leo's request was only for blood witchcraft, he might still consider it, but when it came to special bullets, he didn't even think about it.
Since the French Empire's army used airships as aerial fortresses to demonstrate the destructive power of special bombs in war, all private companies with special gunpowder formulas have been nationalized under the tough measures of various countries. All formulas
All were recovered.
Although it is not difficult to obtain the formula of special bullets based on the relationship between the blood wizard and Rupert, the most powerful person in the United Kingdom, doing so will inevitably cause irreparable rift damage to the relationship between the two. This is the blood wizard
He didn't want to see it. He knew very well that his identity was taboo in other countries in the world. Once Rupert was without the protective umbrella, many organizations in the dark world would be eager to attack him.
Leo was not surprised to see the blood wizard's decisive opposition, but he did not know that the reason for the opponent's firm opposition was the formula of the special bullet, but he mistakenly thought that the opponent was unwilling to use his blood wizardry.
So, he thought for a while and then said: "In that case, I will change the condition. I want your blood research information."
"Blood research data?" Lawrence Hillman was stunned. This time he did not object immediately, but looked at Leo with some confusion. In his opinion, Leo's identity was more like a mercenary or a bounty hunter.
Improving your strength is the most important thing, so why would you be interested in this kind of academic material?
Leo said specifically: "Since you can create bleeding witchcraft, you must know a lot about blood. You have collected and studied all kinds of blood. I need those research materials."
"What do you want this for? Do you understand?" the blood wizard asked with a scholar-like arrogance.
"Whether you can understand it or not, that's my business." Leo gave the blood wizard a flat look and said, "You just need to tell me if you are willing to trade?"
"Okay." The blood wizard thought about it for a moment and felt that he would not lose much from this transaction, so he nodded and agreed, but added: "It's just that there is a lot of information and it will take some time to sort it out."
Leo had no objection and said: "It doesn't matter. Just give it to me when you sort it out. You should be able to find me when I think of it, right?"
The blood wizard said that as long as Leo was in the world of Velen, finding his whereabouts would not be a big problem, and then the two made a simple witchcraft contract. Lawrence Hillman urged impatiently: "Now you can
Did you say it?"
Leo told the main information about the Sixth Chief: "His name is Tomás Kosatsky. He is one of the ten chief wizards of the Wizards Association and testifies to the Sixth Tower, so he is also called
As the sixth chief."
"Tomash Novitsky? This is the name of the Maris Kingdom in the Minsk mainland. Is he a Maris?" When the blood wizard heard this name with obvious ethnic characteristics, he immediately thought of the corresponding one.
country, but then he frowned and said, "But when did the Kingdom of Maris have a wizard association? And it also calls itself a tower?"
"He should be a descendant of the Maris people, but he is not a citizen of the Maris Kingdom. The wizard's association is not in the Maris Kingdom, but in another secret place called Silver Moon City." Lei
Ou deliberately kept the content vague and said selectively.
"Silver Moon City? There really is Silver Moon City!" If he had doubts about whether Leo knew the owner of the note just now, then this doubt has disappeared now. The name of Silver Moon City is recorded in the note,
When Rupert built the Manor and the Wizard's Tower, he named the two buildings after this name.
Because Silvermoon City was a clue, when he was tracing the owner of the notebook, he also investigated the location of Silvermoon City, but ultimately found that there was no record of the city Silvermoon City in any document.
While the other party was deep in thought, Leo continued: "This gentleman has also studied blood witchcraft and achieved results. The name of your own witchcraft is the same as blood cultivation, but this witchcraft is the same.
It is regarded as a forbidden art by the Wizards Association, so the complete witchcraft has been sealed. The adult has also been placed under house arrest and cannot participate in any witchcraft research, nor is he allowed to pass on his blood witchcraft to wizards.
Association with other wizards."
"No wonder he handed the notes to me, an ordinary person, and no wonder he didn't show up again after giving them to me?" Lawrence Hillman had some reveries and illusions because of Leo's words, and took it for granted that he had answered the question.
The problem that has troubled me for many years has made my somewhat bad mood become much better recently.
However, while the blood wizard was waiting for Leo to continue speaking, Leo stopped and did not speak again.
"Why don't you continue?" Lawrence Hillman frowned and asked at the same time with a bad premonition in his heart.
"I've already said what needs to be said, what else is there to say?" Leo indeed gave the blood wizard an expected answer.
Lawrence Hillman was obviously a little dissatisfied and said in a slightly serious tone: "That's all there is to it?"
Leo took out the contract they had made before and retorted: "What you want is the information about the owner of the wizard's notebook. What I told you is also this information. Isn't it enough?"
"You..." Lawrence Hillman didn't know how to refute Leo's words for a moment. When he saw the clear terms in the contract, his whole face turned black because he realized that this clause that allowed Leo to take advantage of the situation was precisely
Added at my own request.
However, he was annoyed, but he was not hostile to Leo because of this. After all, in his opinion, Leo was opportunistic about this matter, but it was not wrong. What was wrong was that he had a certain mentality, which made him ignore many details.
Although I couldn't get any more useful information from Leo, it was worth the money to be able to solve a problem that had troubled him for many years.
"I will sort out the things and deliver them to you as soon as possible." The blood wizard who figured it out quickly regained his composure and said to Leo.
Leo was also a little surprised by this sudden change of mood. He originally thought that the blood wizard would get angry and attack him, but he could just see how strong the blood wizard was, so that he could measure his current strength in the world of Velen.
position among the strong.
However, the blood wizard's mentality and principles of doing things were somewhat beyond his expectations, which disappointed his expectations. At the same time, he felt that the blood wizard was not a simple person and it was best not to become an enemy.
After expressing that he would fulfill the contract, Lawrence Hillman added: "I originally wanted to ask you about No. 9 Golden Oak Street, but now it seems that the chips in my hand that can be used for the transaction are too few.
, so there is no need to ask again. Let’s talk about cooperation?”
"Cooperation?" Leo said with a smile, "What can we do to cooperate?"
"The Ring of Plague." The blood wizard said.
"You know I'm here to find the Ring of Plague?" Leo frowned and said in a formal way: "Have you placed eyes and ears in Sylvia's men?"
"Of course...impossible!" The blood wizard paused deliberately and looked at Leo, trying to tell the depth of his relationship with Sylvia from Leo's expression, but in the end he only saw plainness and harmony.
Indifferent, he continued calmly: "I actually don't know what you are doing here. It was just a test. After all, in the current city of Milia, there are not many things worthy of the attention of high-ranking wizards like you and me.
Eliminate some impossible things and add other external factors, such as the content of your conversations with the scavengers, etc., and it will be easy to guess your purpose."
Leo was silent for a moment and said: "You came here also to find the Ring of Plague? Is it under the orders of Rupert Fitz?"
The blood wizard shook his head and denied: "No, the reason why I did not go to Lanxi with Rupert and chose to stay in Miria City was because of other things that had nothing to do with the Ring of Plague."
Leo asked tentatively: "So since you have proposed to cooperate with me, does it mean that you know the whereabouts of the Ring of Plague?"
"I don't know." The blood wizard shook his head again, and when he saw Leo's unhappy expression, he knew that this kind of question and answer could not be passed, so he directly said what he knew: "I
I don’t know where the Ring of Plague came from, but I know that the six hands you inquired about were not the ones who found the Ring of Plague. They were looking for something else, and the person who assigned him was me.”
"Is that the commander you?" Leo was a little surprised.
Lawrence Hillman explained: "Morrie Barbot is one of the few experts in the medical school who studies the human body. What he has studied in recent years is very important to me, because the research content is taboo in the medical school, so he left
We did not take away the research data when we arrived at Miria City."
"If I guessed correctly, the research project and funding of Maule Barbot should be related to you." Leo suddenly interjected.
The blood wizard did not deny it, but he also did not admit it. He just continued what he said just now and said: "Because I was delayed by other things, I asked someone to find the best lone scavenger, Six Hands, to take out those research materials. It's just that
I didn't expect that Molie guy to be bolder than I expected. He actually dared to study the Ring of Plague. When Six Hands arrived at the laboratory under Molie's villa, the things there had already been searched, and he just took the rest.
It’s just something. It’s just that he is too greedy and thinks he can bargain in front of me, so..."
"How do we cooperate?" After roughly understanding the situation, Leo asked directly.
The blood wizard suggested: "I have some people here who can help you find the Ring of Plague. This will be much faster than searching for it alone."
"What do I need to pay?" Leo asked again.
Lawrence Hillman made a condition: "It's very simple. After you find the Ring of Plague, let me study it."
"That simple?" Leo confirmed.
Lawrence affirmed: "It's that simple."
"In this case, let's cooperate!" Leo stretched out his hand towards the blood wizard.
Lawrence also shook Leo's hand, establishing a cooperative relationship.
Afterwards, Leo did not stay in the tent for long. After asking Lawrence some detailed information about the various forces in Miria City, he got up and left.
Just after Leo left, a wizard covered in black robes walked in from outside the tent. When he walked in, a black poisonous snake emerged from the debris in the corner of the tent and crawled onto the wizard's head.
It was wrapped around his arm and turned into an exquisite snake-like bracelet.
This man seemed to be very familiar with the blood wizard. He didn't say hello after he came in. He sat directly on the chair opposite Lawrence and asked, "Is he really from No. 9 Golden Oak Street?"
"It should be." The blood wizard replied.
The man in black robe said slightly dissatisfied: "In that case, why don't you ask him about No. 9 Golden Oak Street? If you know how many people are interested in the secrets there, they will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it."
