Chapter 532: 172. Shipboard Town (2 in 1)_6
“Have you discussed with the Tatis Empire about purchasing batches of the Life Elixir?”
The Lady Boss rolled her eyes at the ceiling and commented,
“Oh, my dear guest, of course we’ve made contact with Tatis, but we haven’t been able to reach any deal. The people of Tatis Empire are all single-minded and they completely ignore us, always going on about things such as ‘we despise magic’ and ‘wizards are disgusting’. I have no idea what they’re going on about. We took bags full of gold to them and all we got were contemptuous looks and ridicule. Have a seat, both of you. You’ve brought your Life Elixirs, yes? I have plenty of cash here.”
Noland Lee and Denise Green took their seats.
Denise naturally took out a suitcase and placed it on the table.
Noland then started a conversation with the lady boss:
“I heard that the Tatis Empire has accepted the proposal of the Wizard Advancement Association and is selecting the next Magic Research Institute. After the Death Herald Guild’s departure, the Pillar of Ley Lines might take over the Undead Cult’s research task.”
A subtle glint passed through the lady boss’s eyes, demonstrating her understanding of the deeper meaning in Noland’s remarks:
“It seems like you’re quite knowledgeable about the affairs of Tatis? Ah… your eyes are ice blue, clear and luminous like a crystalline blue diamond. I’ve seen such eye colours in the negotiation team sent by Tatis.”
Noland nodded slightly:
“Yes, madam, I am from Tatis and I have some friends there. Let me guess, the Empire People who came to negotiate with you were probably a team composed of military officers from Division Intelligence Unit Two, Three, Four, and some representatives of the Empire’s enterprises. Without your introduction, I know already that those who say ‘Wizards are trouble’ are from Division Intelligence Unit Two. Division Three has a neutral stance on the sale of Life Elixirs. Division Four really wanted to strike this deal, but they were overshadowed by Division Two. As for the Empire’s representatives, honestly, they do not produce Life Elixirs; they are just responsible for dealing with the transportation of the potions.”
“Yes, that’s right…” The Lady Boss nodded repeatedly.
The real situation was almost the same as what Noland described. Tatis is an isolated place, and the Death Herald Guild has never allowed wandering wizards to reside there. This has resulted in all the wizard forces, including this lady boss, having limited knowledge of Tatis.
It can be said that the vast majority of wizards, including this lady boss, cannot differentiate between the functions of Division Intelligence Unit Two, Three, Four due to insufficient information.
Now that Noland labelled the Division Intelligence personnel, the lady boss was quickly able to match the labels Noland gave with the actual people.
“I’ve thought about it carefully, and the situation at the site was exactly as you described.” After pondering for a few seconds, the lady boss clapped her hands softly, lowered her voice, and said,
“Can you help me get more Life Elixirs? Price is certainly negotiable. If possible, I want to buy out your supply channel for Life Elixirs. I can make decisions regarding this matter.”
“I’ll have to discuss this with my friends from the Empire first. As you understand, those stubborn heads need me to drill a hole in their foreheads before I can pour what I want to say into their minds.”
Noland patted the suitcase on the table:
“Let’s handle these Life Elixirs first. I’ll give you a response within three days, madam.”
“No problem.” the lady boss said while laughing heartily.
She took out her branch wand and drew a few circles in the air.
The circles transformed into a column of light that suspended the suitcases, and they opened in half.
These suitcases were alchemical products with folded space, where the Life Elixirs inside were compressed to the size of a grain of rice.
The column of light released by the lady boss’s wand scanned over the contents of each suitcase, quickly completing the identification and tallying process.
She happily took out 26,000 gold coins and handed them to Noland. Of these, 25,500 gold coins were the payment for the goods, and the extra 500 gold coins were for Noland’s expenses in contacting his Empire friends.
Noland gratefully accepted the gold coins and handed them to Denise Green for safekeeping.
