She Is Not a Witch Chapter 197: Night talk
"Such a request..." After listening to Persay's narration, Lubin was lost in thought.
The price that Perth said was very special. He didn't want food, personnel, or property rights. He only asked for his sister to join the organization, and hoped that the organization would treat her without prejudice.
"My younger sister is only about 17 years old. She is very young. She has never experienced such a complicated life as mine, and she has never had blood on her hands. She has a relatively simple personality."
"Although I am very cold-blooded, I also have soft weaknesses. This sister was entrusted to me by my mother before she passed away, and I have never wanted her to have anything to do with my business. After all, she It is not suitable, and it is too dangerous."
"Although my career is doing well, it's hard to say what kind of accidents will happen someday in this line of work, so I also want to find a better way out for her, or in other words, a place to stay in the future."
The warmonger spoke slowly, his eyes softened as he looked at the table.
"This matter is not impossible, but I still want to meet your sister first, and then make a decision." Lu Bin thought about it, thinking about the possible traps, but due to the current situation, he could not give up This can increase the odds of winning conditions.
"No problem, I will bring her over later." Perth nodded.
"Next, let me introduce some interesting gadgets to you."
He turned over the soft cloth on the table and started talking again.
"65,000 bottles of Bronze Grade 'Blood Sealing Potion', which can assist in rapid hemostasis and have a certain healing effect."
"12,000 silver-level 'Lizard Tears Arrows', with petrification and blood coagulation poison, are extremely effective against low-level transcendents."
"There are 12 pieces of pearl-level 'Heavy Dragon Armor', which have extremely strong defensive capabilities, and can expand the gravity field, making it difficult for the surrounding enemies to move."
"Two pieces of coral-level 'Silver Revelation IV' magic armor, once created by the peak craftsmanship of Frost and Frost, can allow the wearer to fly into the air, and come with various strengthening skills."
Heavy Dragon Armor, isn't this the equipment of the "Horn of the Mountain" Legion of the Baskar family?
"Understood, if possible, how soon can these goods be delivered?" Lu Bin nodded.
"I know your organization is in urgent need of the first three items, and they can be delivered within 1-2 months. The next few items will take a lot of time. You should also know that the southern border is very dangerous now. Shipping such cargo is a high-risk business.”
"The total price of these goods is about 268,420 extraordinary gold coins. I can erase the change for you and only pay 20%, but it also needs 50,000 extraordinary gold coins. Your organization needs to pay me every time you deliver subordinates, so that they will be more motivated."
After the calculation, the record officer next to Lu Bin nodded, indicating that there was no problem with the data.
"Understood, we will continue to prepare."
"I'm looking forward to it."
After that, the two discussed some specific details, such as the order of delivery, location, and some issues about quality and returns. When the sky was getting dark, the warmonger got up to say goodbye.
"I am very glad to have such a harmonious discussion, so I will take my leave first."
The businessman nodded to Lu Bin and the others, then walked down the steps step by step, and accompanied by his entourage, boarded the carriage and left slowly.
Looking at the back that disappeared into the sunset, Lu Bin stood quietly, thinking about the origin and real purpose of this businessman.
Perthys is definitely not a philanthropist. In the competition with his peers, he has always been black and white. It is even heard that he used explosives to blow up a competitor's team and wiped out some vicious competition. The opponents are full. The methods are cruel, but the vision is also very accurate. During the past few years of turmoil in the southern border, a lot of business has been done.
After suppressing the great nobles in the southern border, the military confiscated many of the nobles' properties, some of which flowed into the underground market, and the instability in the southern border gave rise to the remaining forces and families to seek self-protection. All kinds of armaments, which also made some warmongers make a fortune.
But this business is also extremely dangerous. Those who sell arms often change their faces. In the end, only a few of them gradually grew and stabilized.
The night gradually darkened, and a gust of cool evening wind blew, which made Lu Bin wake up.
Let's talk about it with other people later to see what everyone thinks and how to deal with it.
Afterwards, he slowly returned to the brightly lit mansion with the recorder and guards.
At this time, three carriages were also driving in the dark on the forest mountain road in Wenlani County. The dim yellow lanterns illuminated the surroundings ahead, and the fog-like halo smudged the cold night.
Inside the carriage, a girl holding a book was looking sideways at the night scene outside the car window, and opposite her was the war merchant Perth.
The man propped his head on the back of his hands, closed his eyes and meditated. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the blonde curly-haired girl opposite.
"Linos." He called the girl by name.
"What's the matter, my lord brother." Compared to the young Linos, Perth is probably in his thirties, close to forty.
"I made another deal today..." He picked up the teacup in front of him, poured water on it, and took a simple sip.
"And then I sold you." The following sentence made the girl opposite turn her head in surprise.
"Me?" The tone was full of surprise, unbelievable.
"Yes, this organization does not have enough money, so I will send you out and let you go to them."
The girl was very puzzled, she opened her eyes wide and looked at her elder brother.
"This is an inevitable choice for the family's future. You cannot follow the same path as me." Persay shook her head, and under that gaze, the girl gradually lowered her head.
"You join the organization, take a small position in it, and settle down."
"In the next 1-2 years, it will be a difficult time. You have to work hard to get through it, do your job well, and impress others."
"Brother, do you trust the 'Dryer Wood' organization so much? Didn't you say that they are a group of innocent idealists?"
"Yeah, very naive, but also very cute, don't you just like such people?" He pointed out the things his sister usually pays attention to in private.
"People are different. My path is not suitable for you. Because of the protection you had when you were young, the environment you live in is simple and pure, and you haven't suffered too many setbacks. Besides, there are too many setbacks for a girl to step into my line. How inconvenient." As the night grew colder, he put on the coat beside him.
"I'm sure you know something about what I'm doing. Along with a lot of killings and tricks, the people below probably have all kinds of small thoughts."
"If you participate rashly, you will only be eaten up, and then I have to spend time on revenge or picking up corpses. This is really an unpleasant thing."
Hearing such words, the girl opposite could only bite her lips, not daring to refute.
"But, is it a good choice to join this organization? Although I have a good impression, I feel that they don't have much hope." The girl hesitated to express her thoughts.
"Naive." Perth simply commented.
"Do you think that there must be a business in the world that can make a profit without losing any risk."
"No, in fact, even for me, it is just trial and error again and again, and then I just find a way to be a little more stable."
"The southern border is chaotic, so there is naturally room for me to move around. This is a rare opportunity, but it is destined not to last long."
"Once someone unifies this land, arms dealers like me must be a disgusting thorn in their eyes and need to be removed."
"Do you think I can resist the search and pursuit of those soldiers? If I have that strength, why would I do business here? I would have become king long ago."
"The prosperity and strength in front of you are only temporary after all."
"However, we can go to other places and spend the rest of our lives in a stable place. In fact, I often worry about my brother's safety." Although this brother is cruel and cold-blooded in the eyes of outsiders, for Linos, It was this elder brother who had protected her since childhood and allowed her to grow up safely.
"At that time, I can do some simple and normal business, and my brother won't have to show his face and attract bad guys." She whispered.
"Childish."
"Traveling to a foreign country with a large amount of unknown wealth, facing an irresistible power, such behavior is like putting yourself on the chopping board and being slaughtered."
"Then we can bring more people."
"It's more eye-catching and difficult to do." Perth stopped the words of this innocent sister.
He was a well-known warmonger in the southern border, and if he went to other places, he might be the one who was easily wiped out.
"Although I only sold the goods at 20% of the price this time, it's not a loss-making business. In fact, many of the items were obtained at no cost." Behind his words, there was a trace of The smell of blood.
"Now is the critical and tense moment, and the other party is in urgent need, so they will eat a lot. If this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to find such high-quality customers in the future." Only then did Perth briefly describe the transaction. s reason.
"Everything goes bad over time, so do weapons and cargo."
"You have also seen the army of the empire, all kinds of new weapons are updated every year, and these goods will not appreciate after being squeezed for a long time, and I am afraid there is a risk of depreciation, so this is the best time to sell timing.”
"I understand, but in the end, why did you send me over."
"Because you are suitable." Persay bent over, took out the wine stored under the seat, and poured himself a glass.
"Your personality is simple and easy to understand, and you can see through it at a glance. Although this is not conducive to competing in a dangerous environment, it is easy to gain trust around those noble people." He gently sniffed the wine. , Sip it down.
"In the words of the East, even a fool can have a fool's happiness." His slit-like eyes glanced at his silly, white and sweet sister.
"With you there, they will have more trust in me, a notorious person, which is conducive to long-term cooperation. In addition, having such a group of people to help me take care of my sister will also free me up , to do a lot of things.”
"If they fail, I will take you away before everything is over. Although it will take a few years, it's not a big problem. After all, a fool's time is worthless."
"If they succeed, that's even better. You joined early. As long as you perform a little better, it's not difficult to get a middle-level position. After all, you have to take care of the face of my partner."
"At that time, it is best to find a suitable man to marry. The man should be around your age. It shouldn't be too complicated, and it doesn't need to be outstanding. You won't be able to grasp it."
"In this way, your life for the rest of your life can be settled down, so I don't have to worry about it."
"If something happens to me outside, at worst I can come to you to escape the wind and rain."
"No, no, brother is not like this." Linos shook her head. Although this brother has always been confident and calm, as a biological brother and sister, she can still feel the slight changes.
If that time really comes, this elder brother will definitely not flee to him to accept asylum. He is so proud and confident that he won't allow people around him to see him in a mess, that would be worse than killing him.
The carriage moved slowly in the night, and the wheels rolled over the gravel and clods on the side of the road, making a slight sound and shaking slightly.
Perseth looked at the already silent night~IndoMTL.com~ put down the empty wine glass, and then spoke slowly.
"Everything has an end,"
"When I was young, I was studying at the Royal Academy, and I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was as bright as the sun, surrounded by many outstanding people. Hope and visions of a better future for this country.”
"But just one wedding, all the flowers withered, and the country changed."
"My life and career are walking on the edge of a dangerous cliff, which may overturn at any time, but you will live in a stable place, and then pass on our family."
"Everyone has a different calling, and that's what you do."
"I understand, brother."
Lenos looked at the man in the dim candlelight, and answered slowly, the carriage slowly fell into silence.
