在還不清楚對方意圖的情況下不要輕易暴露自己的情緒,尤其是這個很明顯在算計什麼都男人,既然他都故意想貶低我了,那我刻意發個脾氣也不算過分了。610Please respect copyright.PENANAGu6g1ZdklK
610Please respect copyright.PENANABeqRQTXG02
「我只想把錢用在我想用的地方,怎麼可能允許這種把錢倒入水溝的舉動?」610Please respect copyright.PENANAVkCH941nUP
610Please respect copyright.PENANAUxaOs7exZE
「啊、抱歉我失禮了,我只是感到意外,艾利法小姐並非想利用那間店賺錢,卻相當清楚市場上的所有變動罷了。」610Please respect copyright.PENANA3VVqz0ZyfO
610Please respect copyright.PENANA2dzcvBQ8lg
鮑爾很乾脆的道歉,還順便指出萬藥釀造的真正用途……我說這不是人盡皆知的事情嗎?610Please respect copyright.PENANAzpZpOhN3fb
610Please respect copyright.PENANAvDjPlIpkV3
還需要你特地說出來?610Please respect copyright.PENANAaYZJ8EIBeq
610Please respect copyright.PENANAxUUJ7mOu3X
「那麼閣下為何不從那裡聯繫我,非得用這種迂迴的方式?」610Please respect copyright.PENANAUPDABC76KM
610Please respect copyright.PENANAhvai5T4xN0
他這時候露出苦笑。
「說來慚愧,與你會面這件事我希望越隱密越好,但很遺憾,艾利法小姐身邊滿是眼線,我不能暴露我的意圖,便只能選擇這個方式了。」610Please respect copyright.PENANAy6d0RyfT3z
610Please respect copyright.PENANACTezPVWvnb
說完,鮑爾叫來身邊待命的管家,從他手上那托著許久的銀盤上拿出幾張文件。610Please respect copyright.PENANAF4sgXuouYi
610Please respect copyright.PENANAD5dJbbtAog
「增稅的事情就當做什麼都沒發生過,我現在就把稅調整回原本的模式。」610Please respect copyright.PENANAyufkCVXPBf
610Please respect copyright.PENANAa2Mj3ljXwI
一邊在紙張上書寫,鮑爾一邊對我說著。610Please respect copyright.PENANAejBJGnc4YU
610Please respect copyright.PENANAP2JAXBCAZy
「這樣,給你進行確認吧!」610Please respect copyright.PENANAJoiWveWjmN
610Please respect copyright.PENANAPjxgL21PvQ
他把那幾份文書放回管家的銀托盤上,管家恭敬地將文書送到我這邊,席安納立刻主動接手文件交給卡登,卡登把文書全部看過後,才放到我面前。610Please respect copyright.PENANArq694YcAU0
610Please respect copyright.PENANAdb0cfw24LH
「大人,確認過文書正確性,稅金已經全部更動回原本的狀態了。」610Please respect copyright.PENANA8SPMXW803D
610Please respect copyright.PENANA1ARaFx0OhK
我點點頭,大概掃了文件一眼……其實也沒什麼好確認的啦,卡登這孩子比我謹慎多了,他確定沒問題,那就不會有問題了。610Please respect copyright.PENANA6tPrN2aQre
610Please respect copyright.PENANA2CbwKo8rSe
於是我讓管家把確認過的文書收回去,再次看向鮑爾。610Please respect copyright.PENANATPA6ZvJYbX
610Please respect copyright.PENANAndIJNGMF8h
「那麼是時候告訴我,用這個小手段把我找來這裡密談,究竟是想要做什麼了吧?」610Please respect copyright.PENANAJixICFq3HV
610Please respect copyright.PENANAaLyik8CDAz
和我預料的差不多,當我提到他想做什麼的時候,鮑爾男爵卻是一臉放鬆的樣子,他將身體靠到椅背上、對我露出人畜無害的微笑。610Please respect copyright.PENANASmCbc3B34B
610Please respect copyright.PENANAD8Lnd7pgS4
「艾利法小姐如果不忙的話……願不願意品嘗我這珍藏的美酒、試試城主家日常食用的小點心呢?」610Please respect copyright.PENANAe3LT0dmjzD
610Please respect copyright.PENANAUVLONHXXoR
唉……610Please respect copyright.PENANAvbbS46ZAtH
610Please respect copyright.PENANAW3mJvNFe1J
我很想嘆氣,也很想跟他說我沒空。610Please respect copyright.PENANAPGzWujPxvr
610Please respect copyright.PENANAUqduVerGPK
但如果這樣做了,就沒辦法知道他的實際意圖,也沒辦法透過他追蹤到天才次子的動向了。610Please respect copyright.PENANA1YmAD41yHM
610Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZzDWb9UZn
不管怎麼說,為了大局,還是必須忍耐。610Please respect copyright.PENANA8tHDtg9YBx
610Please respect copyright.PENANA0yp1XYM5XB
「鮑爾閣下,請不要考驗我的耐性。」610Please respect copyright.PENANAaGAZAhby3g
610Please respect copyright.PENANAHtIaAcqZ4d
不輕不重地威脅他一下,我也做出放鬆的樣子,算是同意繼續待下來陪他耗。610Please respect copyright.PENANARLW4memcIo
610Please respect copyright.PENANANenFmtD8vl
考慮到鮑爾不認為我是高等舊人類,所以他不會對我做出什麼尊敬的舉動,搞不好其實還盤算要怎麼誘捕我也說不定。610Please respect copyright.PENANAfhiEfe1Cha
610Please respect copyright.PENANA2v3wrrx6fC
現在忍著不動手,大概是忌諱我身邊的白龍賽克利,畢竟我可是有著騎著白龍進城的動作,他不覺得他的人打不過我、但卻不能確定他的人能不能打得過一頭憤怒的龍,所以才表現得很乖順。610Please respect copyright.PENANAGMe6ieKDyq
610Please respect copyright.PENANAQE9S8DfZW4
嗯,我是不是該注意下他會不會在食物裡下藥這件事?610Please respect copyright.PENANA7IEyboTWVi
610Please respect copyright.PENANA6cBK5W1Efq
雖然說我有身體機能上的外掛,大部分的毒對高等舊人類起不了作用,但也不是百毒不侵的,而且必須考慮到人類也是會改良精進藥物的。610Please respect copyright.PENANAVl5luCrSpL
610Please respect copyright.PENANAqjtd2zLVw2
……尤其是在這種奇怪興趣用途上的藥物。610Please respect copyright.PENANA2mAYJjbbcb
610Please respect copyright.PENANAEMuEPDI1pp
我還是多注意點好了。610Please respect copyright.PENANACKeyM0gvnk
610Please respect copyright.PENANAIFPvkjW7gc
我們沒有從會客室離開,鮑爾讓人把酒與食物送進來會客室,他的管家在我們面前將紅酒開瓶,分別倒入杯中,送到我這邊。610Please respect copyright.PENANA48rvz1DmZ6
610Please respect copyright.PENANADqQtgo0dLR
看著這些只是要喝酒就需要這麼多步驟,我真的是覺得……好麻煩!610Please respect copyright.PENANA4sfRomxKsY
610Please respect copyright.PENANAVf1Vf8pxdC
貴族裡那的規矩真的是又多又繁雜,如果是喝這種紅酒的話步驟又更多了,如果不是在前貴族雪倫、還有服侍過貴族的三個小侍從那裡惡補這些禮儀,我現在大概就會拿起紅酒來喝了。610Please respect copyright.PENANAGUKL6F61Rq
610Please respect copyright.PENANAQTDyUkKYIh
但在貴族場合上不能這麼做,我必須繼續坐在位子上不動,讓席安納先接過酒,仔細端詳過杯中紅酒的品質,確認自家主人不會喝到劣質的酒之後,才放到我面前的桌上。610Please respect copyright.PENANArb3EisaMft
610Please respect copyright.PENANA8eloSCISxv
這個時候我才可以真正拿起酒杯,先觀察過酒的色澤、晃動酒杯、輕聞杯中的香味,接著輕輕地抿一口酒。610Please respect copyright.PENANAOUkEpLQeTG
610Please respect copyright.PENANAO5jfUOKlrw
……其實我沒有喝酒的習慣,也沒有那麼喜歡喝酒,根本就不能分便所謂酒的好壞。610Please respect copyright.PENANABtaN83Ad2c
610Please respect copyright.PENANAfnsNa5uBXd
但是換成這個身體之後,味覺是真實的敏銳了很多,這種生前喝只能感受到酸澀的東西,現在是真的能喝出裡面的不同。610Please respect copyright.PENANAZOD1d1HRjB
610Please respect copyright.PENANAR3QKiCGgm9
雖然不會讓我因為這樣喜歡上酒,但最少可以真心地說出幾句稱讚的話。610Please respect copyright.PENANAr6MA4f9q9n
610Please respect copyright.PENANABlgigxHdRd
「風味非常獨特,這不是用豔陽城所產的葡萄釀製的吧?」610Please respect copyright.PENANAjx1qKjWGdH
610Please respect copyright.PENANAeHCMSX1bxI
「不愧是艾利法小姐,這是遠在接近極寒地代區域所產的葡萄,釀造之後用專用車箱運輸過來的,光只是這一瓶就要花上三千金幣,就算是我也不願意在平常時隨意拿出來。」610Please respect copyright.PENANAaBzAipJJ2e
610Please respect copyright.PENANAe5qgIN3z2G
幸好我克制的住沒把酒噴出來,嚇死我了,一瓶酒三千金幣!610Please respect copyright.PENANAoQmw6H8k21
610Please respect copyright.PENANAVZnAK1SRVz
這金額都可以買五間萬藥釀造了!610Please respect copyright.PENANAH8hoUwCbMP
610Please respect copyright.PENANAo7PKxkLycx
你們貴族的錢都拿來這樣花的嗎!610Please respect copyright.PENANAOvAqy7ZfvU
610Please respect copyright.PENANATgrD5jTs4h
「真讓人驚訝,你會願意拿這樣的酒出來做招待。」610Please respect copyright.PENANAN3NLLUHs3a
610Please respect copyright.PENANAUENJBJSfnt
我努力讓自己冷靜地說話,畢竟是大貴族,搞不好都流行花大錢享樂也說不定,我不可以被動搖!610Please respect copyright.PENANAqCaANuabkL
610Please respect copyright.PENANA9TL3N9BoWS
「只要是招待艾利法小姐,這點錢算不上什麼,接下來是我推薦的,能夠搭配紅酒的小點心,還請艾利法小姐一定要試試。」610Please respect copyright.PENANAd3qdrEmUJf
610Please respect copyright.PENANAUOs8pzyxxk
鮑爾說完,他的僕從從外頭推了一台精緻餐點推車進來,上面放著漂亮擺盤的食物,分別送到我們面前。610Please respect copyright.PENANAAzvSvasE6t
610Please respect copyright.PENANAtdV5G72oOg
照慣例席安納先仔細檢視過食物的安全,才送到我面前,我打算先看看到底是什麼點心時,依附在鑑定裡的偵察技能卻在這時動了起來。610Please respect copyright.PENANA5SPC3Y9IlC
610Please respect copyright.PENANAw7xRxRc0xA
果然有下藥嗎?610Please respect copyright.PENANA8Q6xoiuoF3
610Please respect copyright.PENANAeU8WHOaHlt
不得不說鮑爾男爵真的很小心,他下的藥是一種必須搭配起來才會有作用的藥物,這種藥只靠席安納還是卡登是不可能檢查出來的。610Please respect copyright.PENANAF0kieh2njW
610Please respect copyright.PENANAm9YHWaEBL1
不過這種藥也不是迷藥或什麼毒藥,目前透過偵察技能所知的,只能大概判斷是一種讓我放鬆警惕的藥物。610Please respect copyright.PENANA4QDx1NHOIE
610Please respect copyright.PENANASPf2izDPHn
……很微妙。610Please respect copyright.PENANAatsmtKvLVV
610Please respect copyright.PENANAMpAgylt7Ar
放鬆警惕這種藥效放在地球根本是種無法理解的說明,但是只要有魔法在裡面做加持,感覺就會成為不管什麼怪異狀態都不稀奇的免死金牌,我只是大概猜測藥效出現的時候,我就不會再對鮑爾男爵抱著警戒。610Please respect copyright.PENANAf7dR7QqPU5
610Please respect copyright.PENANAODogFDQcoY
然後他到底要做什麼就不好說了,只是不警戒而已,照理說他也不能做出更超過的事情……嗎?610Please respect copyright.PENANAq6F7EJXeKy
610Please respect copyright.PENANAWOsfGySNVp
好為難。610Please respect copyright.PENANA2NhpEYOQTv
610Please respect copyright.PENANA7P4QZ2inBl
如果他以為藥效有用了來靠近我,而我實際上沒有事,那他就會被我的種族天賦給處罰,就結果而言要假裝中計有點困難。610Please respect copyright.PENANAUfX5dJg3NJ
610Please respect copyright.PENANAT9urjik4dW
那就只能真的把藥吃下去了。610Please respect copyright.PENANAW8bRAyuqSh
610Please respect copyright.PENANA9YYww6v6P0
然後針對身體的反應在體內自我調整藥物對我的影響。610Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ4zl6seQv
610Please respect copyright.PENANAHxu0f2r75I
我實在沒有多餘的腦容量可以再思考鮑爾的意圖,在間時緊迫的情況下就選擇把點心吃了。610Please respect copyright.PENANAeOmaykZB8c
610Please respect copyright.PENANADv6ejXzPCo
幸好這點心真的是滿好吃的,有點像地球配酒用的小菜,只是在這裡是做成麵包夾雜某種鹹醬、配上像生火腿的肉片,好吃到讓我打算以後也要請個會做這種食物的廚師到家裡了。610Please respect copyright.PENANA6dQ5nisk7V
610Please respect copyright.PENANAQbEYOIXbrv
順著鮑爾的話,我吃完這個只有一口大小的點心,再啜飲著紅酒做搭配,如果不是現場的人都太壓抑了,我肯定把整盤的點心都吃光。610Please respect copyright.PENANAonnr25tPgN
610Please respect copyright.PENANAioQ30CTCmd
男爵看到我把點心吃了之後非常高興,又讓人送上各種不同的小餐點,似乎想讓我把整杯酒都喝完的樣子,其實在第一份點心吃完後,我已經感覺到那個藥已經開始作用了,但不知道是不是因為高等舊人類對魔法本身就有很高的抗性還是什麼的,我沒怎麼感覺我對鮑爾有放下戒心,反而覺得這男人的笑容越看越可疑。610Please respect copyright.PENANA8bv1XgzgQS
610Please respect copyright.PENANAYPJnhTnYXE
就在我還疑惑這到底是怎麼回事的時候,已經被我開啟的掃描技能在這時對我顯示,我已經中了一種對象是鮑爾的迷惑效果。610Please respect copyright.PENANAbJBcEc9MPD
610Please respect copyright.PENANAvaIuLl73eZ
真的假的?610Please respect copyright.PENANABNeniMYmcN
610Please respect copyright.PENANA1IE9TCBXLd
而且這種藥還不算在藥劑跟魔藥裡,是算在外放魔法裡面?610Please respect copyright.PENANAdMqZihPoGI
610Please respect copyright.PENANAjACCSp37TU
這也就是說,這種藥其實是一種魔法?610Please respect copyright.PENANA8oq6Yi4JoP
610Please respect copyright.PENANAjg6y5DF77L
太不可思議了吧!610Please respect copyright.PENANAUarXGtDGv1
610Please respect copyright.PENANAQqMdP37JJ4
我一邊聽著鮑爾說些不著邊際的話,一邊暗中把幾個點心與紅酒收藏起來,等回去一定要好好對這些東西做研究。610Please respect copyright.PENANAEEdJB1UoNT
610Please respect copyright.PENANAo1i8BfU6ew
也不知道這個詳談後的茶會進行了多久,這期間,鮑爾的話題已經從他的珍藏美食漸漸轉變為他對領地的經營計畫,我沒發表意見,只是仔細對比他的話與我所認知的有沒有出入。610Please respect copyright.PENANA7wbUCt3uRO
610Please respect copyright.PENANAZOK6pvzjhW
我對城鎮經營這類事情沒有研究的,但是對比部分貨物的進出口差異倒是不大……總而言之,可以信一半……吧。610Please respect copyright.PENANA6ORS68KmSC
610Please respect copyright.PENANA6mngKCU9qW
正在思考什麼時候可以提出離開的要求時,鮑爾突然間轉了話題。610Please respect copyright.PENANAKCNbbebl6R
610Please respect copyright.PENANACg5rpFlclD
「艾利法小姐,我想請問,你有沒有意願和我進行合作呢?」610Please respect copyright.PENANAn0HrzEXTMv
610Please respect copyright.PENANANRyxUozxcj
欸突然間的在說什麼啊?610Please respect copyright.PENANAxZDqrHrk2M
610Please respect copyright.PENANAUG4G9vppVe
我忍住想直接吐槽出來的話。610Please respect copyright.PENANAr06iUQ4Bmc
「男爵所謂的合作是指?」610Please respect copyright.PENANAI8DuSwDny6
610Please respect copyright.PENANA8B0HiybWo7
「我希望萬藥釀造可以和海姆茲家族合作,接受大量訂單需求。」610Please respect copyright.PENANAnmda9JOljc
610Please respect copyright.PENANAd8W2kfTq9c
這倒是很會,在經營的角度上來說,鮑爾其實不比次子差,只是他的觀念很侷限在固定的思考裡,無法像次子那樣跳脫。610Please respect copyright.PENANA0R8SGMO4cX
610Please respect copyright.PENANANO8uUYnTvm
說白了就是古板不知變通。610Please respect copyright.PENANABphpVrG6iC
610Please respect copyright.PENANApYV3hrQBQa
但本意都是為了發展城市、說不上是壞。610Please respect copyright.PENANAxIFy8la2Vr
610Please respect copyright.PENANA70hJTalmT0
「您知道我一直以來都沒有與貴族合作的意願……」610Please respect copyright.PENANAbfOu4utpO4
610Please respect copyright.PENANA81y98sxuaq
我故意放慢說話的速度,也許是鮑爾為了測試對我下的藥有沒有作用,那麼我就順從他的意吧!610Please respect copyright.PENANAkSM0KItGkN
610Please respect copyright.PENANAyCZ4dNXQPi
「但如果男爵已經知道我的店無法大量製藥,並且也沒有什麼效果超群的藥劑,還願意與我合作,那麼我是可以考慮這項交易。」610Please respect copyright.PENANAUBEnmlQoCT
610Please respect copyright.PENANAmfciT7HwrS
明明還沒有正式答應他,卻沒想到這個男爵很高興的站起來看著我。
「非常感謝小姐願意接受我的提議。」610Please respect copyright.PENANAWv9xKGWOwY
610Please respect copyright.PENANAiyiKgim4Du
欸給我等一下,這對你們貴族來說已經是答應了嗎?610Please respect copyright.PENANAZEhV9u2W6t
610Please respect copyright.PENANAEihx711oGy
「今天佔據艾利法小姐這麼多時間真是非常抱歉,我想小姐或許很想早點回去了吧?」610Please respect copyright.PENANAW9ONXPkA17
610Please respect copyright.PENANAQBZyubZzJ1
是真的很想沒錯啦!610Please respect copyright.PENANAdjBwNxiK9S
610Please respect copyright.PENANAgtEFOcAkWZ
但是你也太奇怪了吧!610Please respect copyright.PENANAGGdBIP4qmO
610Please respect copyright.PENANAXOio5uhCKG
搞得好像我說了這句話就等同簽訂了什麼魔法契約一樣,可以不要這樣嗎?610Please respect copyright.PENANAZs7lGDLJYR
610Please respect copyright.PENANAto41rBdC9w
「……確實如您所說,我是該回去了。」610Please respect copyright.PENANASiEOflzvkX
610Please respect copyright.PENANAI0njj8IiRA
順著他的話,我提出離開的要求,鮑爾馬上就讓人準備送我離開。610Please respect copyright.PENANAizQpI7Caus
610Please respect copyright.PENANATcIESTcGAG
「雖然艾利法小姐現在並沒有決定是否要和我合作,但日後或許我們能夠約一個時間,再繼續討論這件事?」610Please respect copyright.PENANA9s81QkILX6
610Please respect copyright.PENANAGCxcVgMolq
喔好吧,他沒有真的把剛才那句話當成我同意合作,我該感到慶幸嗎?610Please respect copyright.PENANAt7mdsnK54d
610Please respect copyright.PENANArTDT67ZJKW
「沒問題,那麼若要約時間,這一次可以把消息到萬藥釀造嗎?」610Please respect copyright.PENANAReIQpU6x5h
610Please respect copyright.PENANAc4y3d6rS8X
「這次自然沒問題,我會派人去萬藥釀造送邀請函的。」610Please respect copyright.PENANAGt6h5cdP0m
610Please respect copyright.PENANAf8cM5Acg7x
因為我是用傳送過來的,所以這裡的人也沒必要把我送去門口,我也不打算再走那一段不必要的距離,所以示意席安納和卡登站到我身旁就準備離開。610Please respect copyright.PENANA3q9wox43Fw
610Please respect copyright.PENANAf4cMMsIKoP
不過這時候鮑爾突然走到我面前對我伸手。610Please respect copyright.PENANApBkmcF0by5
610Please respect copyright.PENANALDlapw5PFK
「那麼,我先預祝小姐能夠與我有一個暢快的詳談,可以嗎?」610Please respect copyright.PENANA9orNpnleUV
610Please respect copyright.PENANAfcXeMcA6k0
有點懶得再和他說話,我直接與他握手表示我的同意。610Please respect copyright.PENANAgiNZpQrZtE
610Please respect copyright.PENANAmHgc9SFuFz
但沒想到他拉著我突然間給我一個擁抱!610Please respect copyright.PENANA56OY07UHCg
610Please respect copyright.PENANAX3bQmDbtPG
喂!隨便亂來的話你會被……?610Please respect copyright.PENANAnMtr0oHvU9
610Please respect copyright.PENANAmFm9VQXXWg
我的種族被動、怎麼……610Please respect copyright.PENANAeIz7ugsA3T
610Please respect copyright.PENANA94sSarPwIe
沒發動?610Please respect copyright.PENANAyoTlsJO9gJ
